King of Hollywood

Chapter 71: It's Premature

“What do you think? I mean, entirely from your point of view, without considering how we feel, which girl looks most like your Princess Mia?” After the last audition actress left the room, Adrian, sitting at the end, turned her head and asked a middle-aged fu woman with black framed glasses next to her.

“Give me a few minutes to think.” The other party laughed and turned up the auditioned actress in her hand, which took about a few minutes, and she took out a few pieces: "Six, eleven, twelve and seventeen. ”

“So many?” Adrian picked the eyebrows by surprise. "Are you sure you're not picking cheerleaders, Meg? ”

“You said it was entirely from my point of view, then it seemed to me that these girls were perfect.” Meg? Cabot spread his hands out, "Actually, I think it's up to you and Gary to decide, Ed. Gary was the director, and he needed to pick an actor who matched his image, and you, when you invited me to write this novel, that's why you had the best idea of this corner of sè, and there was absolutely no need for me to participate. ”

“So you're blaming me for calling you out of Indiana?” Adrian asked immediately.

“If that's what you're going to say… it's okay.” Meg laughed.

Meg Cabot, author of the novel Princess Diary, both in previous life and in this life. The difference is that Adrian lets the publishing company find her in this life, gives her ideas and invites her to finish the novel and sell it before she gets ready to move it on the big screen, which is not a very expensive investment anyway, and the production cycle is not that long.

The reason for this is Disney, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Adrian has a whole plan. It wasn't his intention to have a hard time with Eisner, but who made Disney the weakest of the biggest media groups on the front line right now? Not to mention the fact that AC Media has already made a lot of gains for Disney.

“Too bad you're not on these four, miss.” With Gary? After Marshall exchanged views and made sure he felt good about the four girls, Adrian said with a smile, turning over the information on the other girl.

The girl in the picture has long brown sè hair, big eyes, big mouth, slightly curly appearance with a very special cute, beside the name Annie? Jacqueline? Hathaway. Yeah, that's right. Was it called Julia in the past? Roberts and Audrey? Hepburn's complex, Annie Red for the Princess Diary? Hathaway.

However, Adrian was undoubtedly interested in the fact that she had been delayed by almost a year in the Diary of the Princess and had been the first to produce a film, and that she had been able to take part in an audition but had been secretly contacted by her broker rather than by her own initiative. But it was just an interest, not because her family environment was not easy to adjust, which was just a small dish for Adrian, mainly because it didn't suit his appetite very well.

Annie Hathaway and Scarlett? Johnson is the exact opposite type, and Scarlett feels normal when she takes pictures with a slight leak, maybe just starting to feel pretty, but she gets aesthetic fatigue a little longer. But looking at her through the lens was different, and the vivid feeling was particularly appealing, showing her xing feeling with a smile.

Annie is different, she looks delicious in the pictures, especially chun with a shallow smile, naughty and a little cute, quite mi. But if you go to see her through the camera, the movie works are fine to say, they are carefully edited, but if you don't laugh on the show or in the interview, it's fine, at best it just feels normal, but if she laughs... you better pray you're not eating.

Well, that's a little exaggerated, but sometimes the difference is really big, and Adrian confirmed it in today's audition. Of course, it does not prevent him from reaching a conclusion after trying it, otherwise why is it that people are secretly contacted, and what is interesting is that Amanda was deliberately found in Adriana after the audition without her name among the four girls that Meg and Marshall approved? Severide's on the list, and there's no memory of him falling off the chair, is there, Annie? Hathaway was not interested in this corner sè, but she obviously had some jitter and excitement during the audition.

“If you're sure, we'll pick one of the four girls, Gary.” After coming out of the audition room, Adrian said so to the director.

Marshall and Julia worked together on "The Moon Beauty" and "The Running Bride" was also made for him, so Adrian had a little relationship.

“This is your business, and it seems to me that any one of these four girls can do it.” Almost 70 Marshall hadn't seen any wind waves in Hollywood before, when the decision was about to be pushed back.

“Well, then..." Adrian's words were not finished, a hurried figure suddenly hit Marshall with a full arms, the shock of the woman xing and the sound of something banging on the ground simultaneously.

“Yes... I'm sorry, Mr. Marshall... I... I didn't mean to...” stuttered the busy teenage girl, covering her forehead and seemingly wanting to crouch down to pick up those things that fell out of her own backpack, but also wanting to see if Marshall was okay, the hard look on the left and right was a bit funny.

“It's okay, I'm okay.” Though he was hit, Marshall just took a step back and looked at her like this and just squatted down and picked her up.

“I'm really, really sorry, Mr. Marshall, I shouldn't have walked that fast in the hallway.” The teenage girl was nagging and clumsily packing things on the ground.

“It's okay, just remember the lesson.” Marshall picked up a book, and the girl grabbed it, and immediately pulled it to her side: “Let me do it, you don't have to worry about it. ”

“It's just a few books...” Marshall was taken away before he finished the book. He obviously didn't expect her to use such great power, and the book flew right up and almost crashed his glasses.

The young girl suddenly stunned and cried and stunned. “Yes... I'm sorry, Mr. Marshall, I... I really didn't mean to...”

“Yes, I know, I'm sure you didn't mean to, please don't move so much, okay?” Marshall, holding her glasses, looked at her with some amusement, and the girl smiled with some embarrassment, shrinking her neck in awe, quickly stuffed the things on the ground into her bag, and then lowered her head and quickly left, completely ignoring Adrian, who had been delivering things.

“I remember... she seemed to be one of the girls who had come to audition before," Standing up and watching the girl leave the back, Marshall thought something, "like Annie? Hathaway? ”

“You have a good memory, Gary," Adrian, who also stood up, clapped her hands, and understated what seemed not to have this little change in mind, "did this girl really call Annie? Hathaway. ”

Marshall stopped talking, stood with his chin in his arms, thought about it, and looked at Adrian: “I think we can add another name to the list. ”

“Annie? Hathaway? Are you serious?” Adrian picked the eyebrows.

“Yes, I even think she's more appropriate than the other four, and Meg would agree with me if she saw what she just said.” Marshall was slightly excited, "remember how we talked about the actress? Mia is a simple and lovely girl, she is very simple and a little inferior, so she usually looks a little clumsy and reacts slowly, always making unexpected mistakes, but very affectionate. ”

Speaking of which, he paused, taking his time to say, “The four girls we picked out are somewhat out of place here, Annie? Hathaway did worse in the audition earlier, but just now, her feelings... which should be said to have worked very well with Mia, and even more rarely, it wasn't a performance, which naturally came out of nowhere, for God's sake, I almost missed a very talented girl. ”

“So you think she's the right person?” Adrian asked silently.

“It's up to you, Ed,” Marshall said, “if only from an actor's point of view, I think she has a slightly higher potential than the others. ”

“Okay, I get it, I'll talk to her sometime before I make a decision.” Adrian nodded.

Honestly, he's a little bit upset, not because of Marshall, but because of Annie? Hathaway, this is the first time he's been so completely ignored by a woman. Adrian wasn't mean, but if she didn't notice his presence because she was really confused, the problem was that she wasn't.

That's right, Annie? Is Hathaway hitting on Gary? Marshall, despite her invisibility, Marshall could not escape the myriad eyes of Adrian the woman. Because she didn't pay attention at first, she couldn't tell if she was intentionally trying to get Marshall's attention by hitting people from the beginning, but she did when she grabbed the book.

Looks like it, Annie? Miss Hathaway is familiar with the script, or the horn sè, and has prepared herself well enough and knows to seize the opportunity to present herself. No wonder there are rumors in her memory that she fell from her chair to get the Princess Diary, just... why is her attention on the director?

Adrian's identity is no secret, and all the girls who come to the audition should know, and all the rumors about him should be heard by whoever lives in Hollywood. If Annie had any idea what Hathaway was thinking, it should have gone for Adrian, and Amanda did a great job, and she always looked at him unexpectedly during the audition, with her hopes.

It's funny, Adrian couldn't help but think of a comment in her previous life about Annie, saying that she had the strength and the means, but she didn't have the vision. Whether she was looking or looking at people, she couldn't always grasp the right direction, and if there wasn't some luck and connections, maybe people would be surprised. He didn't think so, although Annie was really stupid in life, which actor didn't have too many low-end commercial films in the box office? That doesn't mean anything. But now it seems likely that this comment is true, otherwise it cannot be explained that she chose xing to ignore his existence, knowing Adrian's identity and status.

“Gary recommended you to me, Annie? Miss Hathaway, he thinks you're better suited to this corner sè than the others, but I disagree, but given that Gary is also kind enough to think about the film, I've decided to talk to you.” Annie? Hathaway sat on the chair, Adrian said.

Some of the delighted teenage girls suddenly looked at Adrian and didn't seem to understand what he was saying.

“Is there a problem, Miss Hathaway?” Adrian asked silently.

“No, nothing, Mr. Adrian, I'm just... somewhat flattered.” Annie reacted immediately, and she realized something, but didn't fully understand it, so the tone of her voice was harsh and suspicious.

“You can call me Ed, so I can call you Annie, and then we can talk less hard.” Adrian lu smiles, "would you like something to drink? ”

“No, sir... Ed.” Annie said quickly that she was still quick on the change of name.

“We had chosen four young actresses from our audition list the other day, either of whom were perfect, but after meeting you, Gary insisted that you had more potential than the other four.” Adrian spoke very slowly and gently, and despite Annie sitting in a chair, her simple coat and long ku made her feel like a neighbor girl, and her tight and oblique tui made her look sophisticated, he caught a glimmer of pride in her eyes.

“But I disagree.” When Adrian turns his head, "I don't think you're more sè than the other four, but Gary insists on his point, and since that's the case, I'm giving you an opportunity to convince me to give you the corner sè. ”

After that, he made an inviting gesture and gazed at her with interest. Annie lowered her head so that no one could see her expression, but the raised chun line was obvious. Since she was doing this, she should generally be aware that her judgment was wrong.

“First of all, Ed, as an actor, I would very much like to get this corner sè; secondly, I also believe that I can play this corner sè, because I have analyzed this corner sè's xing pattern in great detail, although the script is not complete; again, I am glad to be praised by Mr. Marshall, as a matter of fact, I was somewhat deliberate at the end of the day, and I feared that he would be angry...” After some careful reflection, Annie looked up and said with a smile.

Adrian nodded his head in his heart as he listened. Just as she left very quickly after hitting Marshall, packing her things and apologizing, she was very good at leaving blank tactics, and Marshall's brain replenished a lot of things in her favor in the absence of much talk. This is true now, first of all, that she truly wants the corner sè, which gives the impression of sincerity; then that she can act well, which makes her feel very confident and therefore more persuasive; then admitting that the day's busy hands and feet had deliberate ingredients, this honesty made the subsequent "fear that he would get angry” very credible.

Especially if she doesn't say too much, just throw up a few key words, everyone else needs to add to her, so persuasion will be greatly enhanced, but once certain cognitive determinations have been made in her mind, few people will immediately overturn it, she is really smart. If Adrian wasn't sitting here knowing something about her, and if she wasn't nervous because she spoke too much, most people would like her for it.

Finally, Annie said it, a long breath, a little waiting. Adrian, like at first, still had no expression, just asked, “What then? ”

This is not a simple questioning, many experienced policemen take statements, wait for the offender to finish the conversation and ask “what then”, if the other person's heart is weak, they will have to continue to speak independently. Here, the phrase has the same effect, except that it conveys a message that is clear but not obvious: I am not satisfied.

Whatever the other person answers, it's enough to get his mo to clear her xing cell.

Annie obviously did not expect this to happen, keeping her eyes open, somewhat obscure and innocent, but Adrian did not move, but waited quietly for her answer.

A long time later, the girl finally said, "Anything I can do, anything. ”

Adrian couldn't help but provoke an eyebrow, which seemed to imply something but seemed to imply nothing, and the vague answer was definitely not something a teenage girl could come up with, so... is it her mother? Probably her mother was a singer and stage actor, a singer and actor in the '70s... oh, it's getting interesting, so...

“Well, you got my initial approval, Annie, and while I still need to brief the crew, basically... this corner sè is yours.” Adrian concludes.

“Is this true?!” Annie suddenly took a deep breath and couldn't believe watching Adrian until he nodded for sure, and she burst out cheering, that exciting look... well, not to mention.

“Thank you, Ed, thank you, I... thank you so much.” The young girl finally held his hand and said constantly.

Adrian guessed she wanted to apologize for focusing only on Marshall's behavior before, but how could such a thing get on the table, so she just kept saying thank you when she looked at her mouth.

“Well, Annie, that's it, I hope you can -- say it.” Adrian concludes with some profound remarks. Mock women's minds and write them in the palm of your hand, letting them dance with their fingers as one of his favorite things to do.
