King of Hollywood

Chapter 188: April Mischief

Adrian often comes to ABC, of course, mostly for Charlize, who hasn't avoided intimacy with her since the beginning, after all, now that Charlize is not a star. Today, however, he is here for business, and although most of the new shows are broadcast every September, they are not entirely fixed, and in many cases new plays are also available in March and April.

At present, several TV shows with good ratings are coming to an end, necessarily supplementing some new ones, like Rachel? You met Hugh at Harwood's party? After Laurie, she immediately started preparing Dr. House; or, in the form of a high-lady role, preparing to open the Fortress of Space Carradica in the Chinese market; and the producer of The Double Faced Spy, j? j? j? Abrams suddenly came up with a new idea for science fiction - Lost!

Although Adrian knew in the morning that Abrams, who was responsible for the production of "The Double Faced Spy," had also produced the science fiction play Lost, he had no idea that it would appear in this way in his life. God testifies, "Superhero" and "Lost" are two completely different types of science fiction TV shows. How did Abrams relate to the past?

However, with the exception of Dr. House, both science fiction plays would have to wait until the second half of the year to be aired, as the production input was relatively large, so the preparation time was longer, and he did not intend to give Lost to ABC for broadcast, which should be a good idea for CBS. Yeah, Lost was pretty hot when the science fiction came out. Advertisers offer the best prices, and production costs are quite high. Copyright costs alone are certainly not as expensive as advertising costs.

But then what? With Adrian's strong support, ABC is now more profitable than it is digesting itself, adding a little less light to that luminous circle of halos, rather than selling it to CBS. Anyway, what we need now is sharing, just like putting Superhero on NBC, and working with AC Media to get the benefits.

And that's why. In addition to the TV drama, there are also a number of reality shows to prepare, such as "Hell's Kitchen", which came to mind last year on a trip to mainland China after mentioning "China on the Points of Tongue" to Him. It's also a good reality show, inviting a kitchen with a bad temper but great skill to train a bunch of rookies, it's very interesting, and the viewership may not be comparable to the reality shows that are red, but it's also good. And very stable.

Speaking of which, Charlize must be mentioned, it turns out that those who are talented enough to learn can shine bright when given the opportunity. This is true of Lin Xilei, Ivanka, and Charlize, except for the American Idol, which was originally designed to give Charlize a solid status. ABC's several current reality shows with good viewership are based on her plans, such as what she just uncovered, to deceive countless people about Who's Going to Marry a Millionaire.

If Adrian's pointers and encouragement are present in the show, this one, which is about to be prepared, was planned by Charlize from beginning to end. He did not receive any wind in advance.

“It's very simple, the dancers are skilled, and the stars are popular, when they're together, when the dancers teach the stars to dance on camera and let the public judge them. Certainly has a wonderful chemical effect. With that in mind, I did a market survey, and a random sample showed that 70-80% of people were interested, so we started to improve further...” Charlize said when he talked about it.

Isn't that Dancing with the Stars? The only reality show ABC ever had in his previous life was now planned by Charlize. I really don't know whether to say luck or the will of God?

“Excellent,” Adrian exclaimed after listening. “I told you you'd make your mark. That's fantastic. ”

“When you say this... can you take your hands off my skirt?” In the office of the head of the planning department, Charlize, sitting on his thigh with his arm around his neck, bit his teeth and said, "In 10 minutes, I'm going to chair a meeting of the planning department, and you want to tell them that you just fucked me in the office? ”

“That's your business, honey.” Adrian replied with a smile that his fingers were moving a few minutes faster.

Charlize had to take a big breath twice to control her reaction, but how could Adrian, already familiar with it, give her the opportunity to kiss her elegant goose neck instantly?

“Damn, I knew it. Come on. Come on, you bastard!” Charlize sighed, stood up and turned around and rode on Adrian.

Every time Adrian comes to ABC, there's no shortage of things like this, in his words: who makes you prettier, more temperamental, more tempting.

Charlize, of course, relentlessly took off his “hypocritical” appearance every time: “You just think it's exciting, you just think it's kind of conquering me, oh yeah, just add the temptation of uniform. ”

It's just that, in sum, she's been very cooperative every time, and yes, whether it's struggle, push or sarcasm, she's cooperate-- she finally got him, didn't she?

“You're brilliant, darling," Adrian of Charlize grabbed the clothes from behind and kissed her on the back of the neck, "everyone said, including Dis, the CEO, who wanted you as vice president, but you excused him. Why? ”

“Too soon.” Well packed Charlize turns back, as skilled and as cold as ever, "I've been head of department for just over two years, and although I've done a good job, suddenly moving to vice presidential status will make a lot of people personally dissatisfied, and employees will say. ”

“Do you care what people think?” Adrian frowned and made an unbelievable appearance.

“Different locations, it's important to consider how others feel, ABC is not an IT company. Not so young, there should be a lot of seniority,” Charlize talked frankly, “rather than risking a promotion, it's better to run the planning department well and develop enough reputation and manpower. ”

“Well, everything's up to you.” Adrian smiled and lifted his hands and was satisfied with Charlize's attitude.

“Well, I'll go to the meeting, you do as you please.” Charlize said and went outside. But after a few steps, he turned back and asked in a hesitant tone: “Are you sure I look... not like I just..."

“No, no, no, honey, not at all.” Haha laughed when Adrian settled in.

In fact, it's no big deal for Charlize to get promoted to vice president of ABC, so long as Adrian supports her as usual, she doesn't have to worry, and besides, her roots aren't here. Charlize adapts well to office culture and does well in relationships. Absolutely capable. However, her concerns were not all-powerful, and it was a good way to keep her steady and steady, and she was doing so well that Adrian did not have to intervene too much.

Almost like this, the reality show is naturally broadcast on ABC, and in a few years the public TV show will start to compete but cable. But reality shows always have good viewership, and having some great quality reality shows is enough to keep ABC going.

As time slipped into April, Adrian began to be idle again, the controversy over Oscar began to fade away, and how to get angry with Scorsese would not allow the Academy to return to Scorsese the best director that had been awarded to Sophia. On the corporate side, Claude operates. As for the movie, Rose Life's later stories have been explained. For now, he doesn't have to stare at it in the studio all the time, and Hacker Empire 3 and Ring King 2, which are scheduled to be released by the end of this year, are almost complete.

He had originally planned to go to East Asia, but after April the United States issued serious domestic warnings, if not necessary. Don't visit Guangdong or Hong Kong, so I had to change to the second half of the year. However, after collecting some information through this channel, Lady Gao called home three or two days ago to make sure her parents were safe and very worried.

If you can't make it, then spend more time with your own women and daughters, and Lily's little headache will go away, and Deva and Juliet will start to make headaches in that direction. But finally better than their sister, Marie and Eleanor still have their own characteristics, one likes to chew and one bullshit.

As for Patricia, shortly after she was born, the little one seemed a bit silly, her biggest hobby all day was to measure with her eyes open, to sleep when she was tired, to continue to measure when she woke up, and not often when she cried, except in the arms of her father.

Well, I'll do it. ”When Papa cried again in Papa's arms and Mama wasn't there, Zeta Jones smiled and picked her up. After a while, the little guy fell asleep.

“She's so cute.” After putting Papa in the baby's cradle, Zeta Jones stared at her little face for a while before sighing so slightly.

Although she immediately left the room with Adrian and handed the little one over to the babysitter, the expression of perseverance was evident.

“Yeah, very cute.” Adrian in the eyes matched the sentence, but did not go on.

After a moment of silence, they were all in the living room, and Zeta Jones, with this eyelid, just opened his mouth again: "Thank you, Ed, although... I'm still very... happy and happy. ”

“As long as you're happy, I like to see your smile, which is what I'm supposed to do," Adrian smiled and added, “Besides, this is our contract. ”

Zeta Jones' smile was slightly stiff, turning around and taking a deep breath before turning around: “Speaking of which... you have fulfilled our contract, then... if I leave...”

“Who have I fulfilled?” Adrian laughed a little long, “four North American box offices over a hundred million pieces, one of the best female characters, right? There's still a hundred million pieces missing from the North American box office. ”

When the girl beamed, she probably didn't expect him to talk like this, and suddenly she got a little stuttered: “But... but...”

“The 007 series has nothing to do with me, and the x-Men, you're just one of the characters.” Adrian said in his spare time.

Halfway back, Zeta Jones finally reacted, turning her eyes and wanting to talk. But he didn't know what to say, and he clearly told her that the North American box office would be in arrears for more than 100 million films. Even if he accidentally arranges one later, he has plenty of excuses not to count it among them, you son of a bitch!

However, Zeta Jones called it that in his heart, but somehow relieved himself, glaring at him half a mile later and retreating his gaze.

“So...” she bit her lip and seemed determined. “Give me a child. ”

“No problem, if that's your will.” Adrian smiled softly, smiling with unspeakable cunning.

Eventually, she made the choice he wanted to see, not to say that Adrian was helpless, but after drawing a box, he tried to pull each other into the frame, and naturally he predicted every move. This is true for careers, and for women. It's just that Claude is still needed on the career side, and uncle and godfather lining are needed to do it, but the woman's side is entirely his own.

“So...” Zeta Jones reached out and grabbed him, and the melancholy state of the corner of his eyes flowed out very naturally.

“Julie will be back soon.” Adrian was slightly surprised for her ability to act.

“It's okay, we have at least 20 minutes. Otherwise, her mouth will snatch another chance tonight.” Zeta Jones frowned.

Adrian couldn't help laughing, but he still didn't say yes: "Take it easy, Kate, not yet. ”

“What's your bad idea?” Zeta Jones closed his eyes.

“A bad, bad idea. Would you like to try it?” Adrian looked at her with a nasty smile.

This makes Zeta Jones a little more alert. Since he said that, I'm afraid it's really not a good thing, even if he doesn't hurt himself, he'll definitely make her choke enough. It's just, if you just said that, it doesn't matter how bad it is.

“No problem,” she replied.

Not just Zeta Jones. So was Gwyneth, who had originally planned to start making people after he got Oscar, and Adrian put it off on the grounds that she had a bad idea that she needed to be involved. As for what was going on, there were many ideas at the awards ceremony that could not be implemented for various reasons, but the temperature is still a little low, so wait.

After this episode, Adrian went to London again and promised little Emma that she would attend her birthday party. He was going to take little Emma with him. But the Bridge of Immortality happened to start shooting, can't you just let the actress take time off? So I had to give up the idea.

Little Emma was happy that her little followers weren't here and nobody could bully her, but Adrian was enough. So even though she kept her distance from him for a long time, blowing out the candles on the cake, she couldn't help but hug Adrian in public and give him a big kiss in the face.

To be honest, watching her face go from tender to green and then start showing mature seedlings, Adrian is also full of emotion, just not on her face, little Emma mentally mature he was taught.

Now that we are in London, Liu Yuxuan's side is naturally going to go, and the three of us are basically about to become normal. Beyond that, you have to spend time with Keira in bed because of a cold and not being able to participate in Oscar. You know, in addition to Depp's best male lead, there are several technical nominations for "Pirates of the Caribbean", and if Chicago hadn't been more likely to win the award, Weinstein would certainly have used the opportunity of "King of the Rings" to spark a fantasy movie boom to get nominations for the best movie for "Pirates of the Caribbean", so Keira could have been there at the awards ceremony.

“Actually, I'm not very sorry. I watched it live and it didn't seem like a big deal. Besides, there was no red carpet to go.” She didn't seem to care, but Adrian came to see her to make her happier.

Think about it. In her previous life, she was able to say unstoppably that Oscar was a dog walker, but not anymore. Adrian somewhat improved her personality, and she also used her paranoia elsewhere. Sometimes it's okay to say something like that, and others just smile, but if it's too much and annoying, nominate it for life.

There are still a lot of pieces left in April, such as Britney launching a new single, Christina moving from an album release to a single, and her music documentary coming out. Elvir's second album, released last year, sold well, and the world concert, which belonged to her, was officially launched, so that Britney wanted to host it again. Because of her exposure, her popularity has been maintained at a high level, and college progress has not prevented her from doing so.

As for Taylor, well, he's taking it very seriously, and he's growing, and he's running, but he's also very upset, and he's running around the record company whenever he gets a chance.

Although she was polite to Britney and them, it was another thing to see privately, at least Adrian had seen her, smiled and spoke to Christina in person, turned around and revealed a "nothing extraordinary” look, she had a better sense of Aveline.

No hurry, let her continue like this for a while. As I said, if she showed up, the album could be released in advance and observed for a while longer.

Apart from that, although April was the off-season of the film, there were a number of films, such as Jessica, Love, another Jessica starring in a supporting role, and Sarah's live version of "Scooby" at the end of the month.
