King of Hollywood

Chapter 331: Open Source?

It's quiet in the study, only the sound of the sand flipping, Dakota with the cup? Fanning sips down from time to time, then sneaks up on Adrian, hoping to see some of the responses he wants. Unfortunately, she was disappointed that the other party had never looked up and looked seriously at the script.

After such a long time, Adrian finally closed the script and thought it over again, which raised his head: "Tell me, Hannah, what do you think? ”

Dakota stunned and did not expect his first sentence to be about this. He hesitated for a few seconds and carefully considered it before saying: “I want to take on this role. ”

Adrian slightly lowered his head: "Understandably, with your acting, it shouldn't be a problem to manage this role. ”

The little girl suddenly showed joy, but his next sentence made her smile stick on her face: “But I object. ”

“Why…?” Dakota doesn't hide her disappointment, obviously she wants it very much.

“Because of the rape scene," Adrian shook up the script, “about five to ten minutes, with clear details, do you know what that means, Hannah? You have to show this in front of the camera. ”

“I know, I know what this play stands for, but I also think it's acceptable. Besides, this part will definitely be shot separately and later edited with Montage, which Ms. Kampmeyer herself promised.” Dakota's impatient defense.

When he heard Cam Pummel's name, Adrian couldn't help but pick his eyebrows: "But society wouldn't think so. They'll just see a little girl in a movie playing something she shouldn't have, then. They will denounce the crusade, and whatever you think the crew thinks has nothing to do with them, all they know is that a little girl seems to have been assaulted. And then you and this movie will be at the tip of public opinion, and for a long time, your name will be negatively impressed, and this shouldn't be what you want. ”

Dakota's face was a little white. If it was someone else, she might not look at it, but it would be different if it came out of Adrian's mouth, but...

“I understand what you're thinking, Hannah,” Adrian continued, “but. There are many ways to transform the image of a child star, which is undoubtedly the most undesirable tool, and it may get you out of the shackles of your original image, but it may also spoil your image. I wouldn't object if it wasn't for these fictional gestures, or if this movie was just a demonstration of your maturity. But as far as this script is concerned, I don't suggest you go. ”

“I... I know.” Dakota took over the script from Adrian with great disappointment and sighed so much after half an hour.

“Don't worry, Hannah, there are plenty of opportunities. Patience is virtue.” Adrian said with such comfort.

The little girl smiled and stood up and bowed. Then he turned around and left his study, except that his teeth were not loose on his lips.

Adrian didn't notice the details and wouldn't care if he did, he was going to knock down Dakota. Although he said “I understand what you think”, “There are many ways to change the image of a child star", and so on, he knew very well that what Dakota really wanted was not this, and that her purpose was Oscar.

As the child star currently known as the most promising, if she could get a nomination at this time, what would be the improvement outside the circle, if she could win the prize… unlikely, but not necessarily once. Making herself more distinctive and compelling, that's what she wanted, otherwise why would she want to take on such a big role for a little girl.

Ambitious, isn't it? Adrian doesn't mind her being ambitious, but she has to follow the path she's been given, and holding her up isn't just to make her famous. There is no doubt that a movie like Hound Dog is not suitable for Dakota, she is too young, and if she were two years older, she would be fine, but now, the negative effects are far more than positive.

Cam Pummel invited her to the show, more to create visibility for her film, but never thought about the consequences, and mainstream society could tolerate a little girl to play the offended role, but would never allow her to show up on camera. In fact, in another space and time, Dakota fell into the valley for a long time, thanks to the film.

Will she use this to ask her own opinion, or will she come to her house alone, indicating that she still values his opinion. Adrian also took the opportunity to knock it down and let her know what to do. She listened well, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't. As for some aspects, Adrian feels comfortable, so let it go.

That's all for the movie, and, oh, and Sophie's new work, after director Dead Girl received a disparaging review, her confidence grew somewhat more and more enthusiastic about the directorship. Adrian had intended to dispel Sophie's thoughts, but when she thought about it, she was rarely so proactive, and it didn't seem good to pour cold water. Besides, it was no big deal to hit the wall once in a while, so she was given a script of some kind that was already ready for the intimidation.

Interestingly, Adrian hasn't spoken yet, and Sophie, who has seen the script, is thrilled to say that Monica can star with herself.

“I'm sure you'd love to see this, otherwise you wouldn't have come up with a script like this.” Don't think I don't know "look on Sophie's face.

Well, that's true, the reason why the script "Don't Look Back" was written years in advance and drastically adjusted was to bring Sophie and Monica closer together in the film. In addition to Nicole and Naomi from Muhland Road, there are only Sophie and Monica from Hacker Empire 2, and Sophie and Monica are much smaller than Nicole and Naomi.

Other women are unlikely to make out in the movies for the time being, so just push Sophie and Monica again. That must be quite interesting. I was just trying to get Sophie to direct one or two more films and accumulate more experience before thinking about Don't Turn Back. I didn't expect her interest to be so high. But as I said before, good shooting is just right, and if it's not right, bumping into the wall can be rewarding.

Then, Killy and Scarlett worked together, and the scene was moved to the United States, where Love Credits was also selected for release at the end of September. Unlike Queen in Prada, Scarlett dyed her hair red chestnut hair this time, with a naughty taste in X-Men. But dressed fresher and smelled like a college student. She's actually a great fit for this thick, light costume, which can be counterproductive if it's too thick or too light.

Gilly has blonde hair in it, which continues from "Superhero" to "Football Essentials", but the acting... stop talking. But Killy doesn't care, for her, as long as she's not the actress of Football Epic. Everything was not a problem, and obviously she was very badly impressed by her experience with breast-wrapped films.

“This will hurt my chest.” Previously in New York, when it came to "Football Essentials," she held onto her own poor, soft words.

Well, she made this second look more to fight Scarlett than to complain. But it has to be said that Kelly kept this soft on herself so well that Scarlett, while complaining often about her breasts being too big and making a fuss about going for a breast reduction surgery, didn't pay for it.

There is nothing to say about television. The two shows "Desperate Housewives" and "Scarecrow Girls" have basically become his gorgeous hunting grounds… oh. Jamie has to wait a little longer. It's a little early. But there's Britney. Look, don't worry. Then, in September, ABC aired a new sitcom by Caden? Cross as the lead actress - The Big Bang!

unlike Disney, AC Media doesn't always have to think too much about Happy movies and TV shows, so ABC has grown more comprehensively under them, and with Adrian's support, these have developed well. Even though Adrian gave some of the dramas to other stations for win-win reasons, ABC is still at the top of the list of five public television stations.

It was precisely in order to maintain this advantage that he gave ABC a TV show like "The Big Bang of Life" and then let Caden be the lead actress in it, which was planned a long time ago. After being taught a lesson, Caden has been very honest and well prepared before and after getting this role. Adrian was satisfied whether she made it for him or really tried, at least the first episode had a good rating and Caden received some positive reviews.

Well, let's not talk about it, although life is now getting flat, there are some things, some things that have been prepared for a long time, that have come to pass by so unexpectedly.

“I wasn't ready to be a father when Lisa was born, so I chose to ignore and escape, and I admit it's one of the few bad decisions I've made in my life, but it doesn't make any sense.” Stand under the roof, Steve? Jobs looked at the children playing in the distant garden and said that the first illegitimate daughter, Lisa, who was 28 years old, and three other children, seemed a little out of place.

“That's right, it doesn't mean anything.” Adrian laughed a little bit.

Jobs turned his head and stared at him closely behind his glasses. “I'm not you, Ed. I was born to know what to do with women. ”

“Hey, I didn't say anything.” Adrian opened his hands and patted him on the shoulder, "Well, at least now you and Lisa have a good relationship, and she's become an iconic girl. ”

“You're not gonna hit on her, are you, Ed?” Jobs couldn't help but laugh and Adrian rolled his white eyes as if choking.

It's rare that this arrogant maniac jokes about this, whether to help him achieve it or not... forget it.

“Would you like a drink, gentlemen?” Jobs' wife, Lawrence, walked in with a servant with a plate.

“Not yet, darling,” Jobs made up his mind for Adrian without asking, and then twisted his head, “Come here, Ed, I want to show you something. ”

“Well, thank you. Les." Aware of something Adrian nodded and gave Lawrence another smile. Then he followed Jobs all the way to his study.

It's not that he hasn't been alone with him, parties, liquor parties, White House dinners, Apple's board of directors, etc., but it's the first time Jobs has invited him alone, or he's been to his house —— not that he hasn't been to his house before, but it's all a party, like those parties, with a lot of people present —— that makes this guy so solemn. Then it's just gonna be that thing.

Indeed, Jobs quickly took out a small, metallic rectangle with a smooth tip into Adrian's hands. Even though he had some psychological preparation, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, glance at each other, pretend to mock a little, then press the power button and slide to unlock. The unexpected icon appears in front of you.

Though much has not yet been done, this is enough to usher in a new era, and Adrian couldn't help but look up at Jobs. Honestly, he was thinner and thinner and his hair was getting scarcer than he was a few years ago. The brain is also getting brighter and brighter, just the eyes behind the lens, still bright, fanatical and with a hint of hope.

“Is this a prototype?” Adrian asked, taking a deep breath after receiving a positive answer. “Perfect work - Perfect work at this stage, people will love this feeling. ”

Then Adrian laughed: “Nokia looks like it's going to be bad, unless they can quickly recognize the prospects of smartphones and make changes, but I don't like them. ”

Jobs' eyes flashed with a glimmer of pride, his hands together in front of him, his eyes blinking and looking at him without answering the question.

His expression dissatisfied Adrian, picked an eyebrow, and decided to go deeper: “Now that we've reached this point, have you thought about making a smaller computer, like a very thin computer, about 9 inches in size, that doesn't require complicated features, that can take pictures, play games, watch movies, and put all kinds of entertainment together? ”

Amazing expression flashed from Jobs' face, but not much movement, Adrian slightly stunned, but immediately reacted. There is no doubt that this idea is already in Jobs' mind, and imagine, though the first generation of ipad was released four years later, how, as a true genius, could he have created an apple without such a forward-looking look and pulled it out of the mud and into what it is today? It was stupid to want to sell it in front of him.

After realizing this, Adrian was depressed, but he wasn't that easy to give up, and his eyes turned, and he said, “I saw the itunes icon, and you didn't think about putting it in the store? You can buy games, newspapers, magazines, movies, TV, etc. ”

This time, Jobs finally frowned: “Great idea. ”

He revealed an excited smile, a delightful look in his eyes, and even a small punch in the air, which apparently scratched his itch: “We can make it into a platform, a model for providers of third-party software... I knew it was the right thing to ask you to come and see. ”

In such a moment, Adrian had understood why he had deliberately invited himself to come alone, and then he had a bit of a laugh. Prophecies about the future? Isn't this guy a Zen? How did you get interested in mystics? Or... he wants to look at himself, is it really so forward-looking?

If the latter is the case, then look at him as he is now… it seems to be very satisfying, which increases your chances of success!

“What do you need me to do?” Adrian then asked, "Continue investing? ”

“I'd rather you sell your shares than this.” Jobs said without courtesy.

“Again, you control freak.” Adrian gave him a white-eyed idea that Jobs had beaten Apple's equity in his hands more than once since we got to know each other.

Even if he splits into three parts, leaves a part of himself, sells it to Claude and the AC media, and shows full support, it won't satisfy the guy. Without him, Adrian is the only one on Apple's board who can threaten Jobs if he wants to.

If anyone else wanted to move Jobs, they would have had to cross the line, but Adrian didn't need it, and the original investment of more than 100 million took about 20 percent of the shares. In fact, there have been a lot of people who have tried, except that Adrian safety refused and informed Jobs, but this is definitely not a comfortable thing for Jobs, who is used to taking control of everything.

“I intend to launch it officially next January or February, and I need your help, and I need it to be known and accepted by everyone first.” Jobs said what he wanted.

“No problem, with this good user experience, many people will like it.” Adrian nodded, without any hesitation, and guided the question: “What do you call this? ”

“iPhone.” Jobs answered without waiting for him to ask again and explained, "I took it from you when you bought the iPod logo. ”

“Ha, so you had this idea a long time ago?” Some depressed Adrian laughed dry.

Jobs, open your hands. You're not talking, but you're saying yes!

“Where's the system?” Adrian continues, “as completely closed as mac? ”

“Of course, it's an Apple tradition.” Jobs naturally said that.
