King of Hollywood

Looks like my little Charlie is showing signs of jealousy, well, I said it will be different when my little Kate comes back. Adrian walked briskly in the corridor with a faint smile on his face. He couldn't help but think of the situation at Kate's house in the past few days. Some things did not come to him until he hit a wall. Of course, Roger did a good job, but if she hadn't left...

Adrian shrugged, anyway, he still has a lot of feelings for Kate, after all, this is his first woman.

Seeing that the editorial department was already approaching, Adrian immediately restrained his mind and opened the door.

"Hey, guys, how's it going?" He asked loudly with a smile, but there were countless noises in his face.

"Oh, damn, I just thought of a plot, can't you be quiet?"

"He's here again, he's here again, I really don't understand whether he is the director or the publisher who urged the script."

"He's nothing, he's a vampire, and he won't stop until he sucks us clean."

Seeing these chattering teasing and ridiculing the screenwriters, Adrian shook his head with a smile. Inspired by Pixar, he adjusted the editorial department to be like this. Of course, he did not copy it completely, and the degree of adjustment is not the same. After all, this is a company that produces live-action movies. The Pixar family.

Although this stimulated the creative enthusiasm of the screenwriters, it also made them a little lawless, but Adrian is not helpless. For example, after he coughed lightly, he immediately shouted: "Okay, you guys , just be quiet or I'll reschedule Julis back"

Among the several screenwriters, Julius has always been the best, and she has some skills, so she has been helping with management for a long time. Laverne originally wanted to promote her to be the head of the editorial review department, but Julius refused. She wanted to develop more as a producer, so Adrian arranged for her to go to the crew of "Delicious Love" as an executive producer. One.

These guys have all seen Julis' wrists, and they have all been subdued. Although most of the time it was because Mr. Noble, the head of the editorial department, supported her, they still didn't want her to come back.

"Okay, boss, we didn't say anything." Durant, one of the screenwriters, quickly raised his hand and said.

"Really? I don't have amnesia." Adrian reached out and licked his ears with his little finger.

"Hey, boss, can I kill you?" Another screenwriter Aitanis changed the subject with a smile.

"Of course not. If you want to kill me, not only will no one pay you any more, but you will have to spend your whole life in jail." Adrian's serious expression immediately elicited a burst of laughter.

"Okay, guys, let's get down to business, how's it going?" He clapped his hands immediately.

"One is nearing the end, you just need to complete it step by step; the other is only half written, and we agree that John's plot will not work with you." Aitanis said.

"Really?" Adrian took over the nearly completed script handed over by the other party and flipped through it, "What do you think?"

"An excellent story, with ups and downs and twists, can make people excited and tearful. The last scene, if it is filmed well, will be very classic." Durant said.

"Is there no problem at all?" Adrian continued to ask.

"If only from the perspective of the story, except for some details, it is already very good, but if it is related to reality," the third screenwriter Koenig shrugged, "Is there any William in British history? Wallace is still a question. After all, his early experience is completely untestable. The legend may be a combination of the deeds of several people, and Isabella, who is known as the "French she-wolf", is written so sadly and affectionately... If Scholars who study the Middle Ages will definitely laugh at it. And the British, or English people, probably won’t like this movie.”

"It doesn't matter, as long as the story is good." Adrian waved his hand indifferently, "The big deal is that when the movie is broadcast, make a statement before or after it, saying that the movie is based on reality. Yes, as for what the English think, do we care?"

The last sentence immediately made several screenwriters laugh, yes, who cares what those British guys think. After chatting for a few more words and analyzing another script, Adrian left immediately after getting what he wanted.

"Braveheart", this is the script he asked about just now, because of this movie, William Wallace's name is known all over the world, and the last sentence "freedom" made him a spokesperson for resisting tyranny. Even after the film was released, many scholars pointed out that the content of the story was inconsistent with historical facts, but they could not stop people from idolizing and symbolizing it. Mel Gibson also won the best director for this film.

It's a pity that he will no longer have anything to do with this movie. Adrian doesn't plan to ask him to act or direct. The reason is simple. This guy has a lot of scandals. Just discriminating against Jews is enough for him to consider others now. What's more, Gibson is one of the few Republicans in Hollywood. Well, that's beside the point, the point is that he doesn't like him, that's all.

But it is not easy to find a suitable protagonist and director. After all, Gibson in the movie still left a deep impression on him in his memory, so it is not all good things brought by good memories. But it doesn't matter, anyway, there is plenty of time, the big deal is to create momentum for the script first, the original novel seems to be published next year, as long as... the heroine is decided first.

Sophie Marceau. Adrian read the name in his mind. He has wanted to go to France for a long time, but it is a pity that he either has no time or no excuses. Now that he has both, why hesitate? Since Monica Bellucci is already his, how can he let go of this "French favorite"?

Wait, I seem to be a little too greedy. Adrian suddenly frowned slightly, and went through the things he had to do recently in his mind, and had to admit that there were indeed a few. Obviously, the step of winning the title of "Miracle Director" was quite good.

So what? Adrian shrugged. Greed is good as long as you know how to control it.

=================================

"Ladies and gentlemen: the plane has landed at Los Angeles International Airport, the temperature outside is 59.23 degrees, and the plane is taxiing. For your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand up or open the luggage rack. After the plane comes to a complete stop, please Then unfasten the safety box, organize your belongings and get ready to get off the plane..."

Following the announcement on the plane, Cate Blanchett, who was sitting by the window, yawned involuntarily. Looking through the glass window at the sunny airport outside, she couldn't help sighing softly in her heart: It's finally here.

Since receiving Adrian's invitation, Blanchett has been hesitant. Of course, she knows that stage play is definitely not her final destination, but is it too early to act in a movie now? Besides, she didn't know Adrian well, but the other party seemed to know her very well.

After thinking about it, she couldn't make a decision, so she naturally consulted her parents and friends, and at the same time asked some people she knew about Adrian. She knew nothing about him except that he was an excellent director with the title of miracle director.

The parents naturally hope that their daughter can stay in Australia for two more years, so they express their opposition in their words, but the final choice is still in the hands of the daughter, which is exactly the opposite of the opinion of Blanchett's friends, especially a A friend who just came back from Hollywood was envious when he heard that Adrian invited Blanchett to audition.

"God, I can't believe you are still hesitating. Do you know who is the director who has received the most attention in Hollywood in the past two years? You know that you can make three films a year, and all three can win awards, and you can make two films respectively. Who is the director who won the Oscar for the male and female protagonists in the movie?" The other party looked resentful, "If it was me, I would have agreed."

Fortunately, Blanchett had collected some information before, otherwise she might have been overwhelmed by the other party's aura. Even so, she hurriedly left the coffee meeting with her friends after saying "I'm thinking about it" At the restaurant, her friend shouted at her back: "Yes, Kate, believe me, yes"

As a result, pedestrians on the street looked sideways, embarrassing Blanchett.

To be honest, she really didn't expect Adrian's achievements to be so amazing. She never touched it before she started directing and producing films in 1990. The films she directed have never lost money, including literary films such as "Howards End" , Most of the scripts in his hands have made money, and he is the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or, and everyone admits that without him, Pacino and Thompson would not have easily won the Oscar for Best Actor and Actor.

These things are enough for Blanchett to be dazzled. In addition to these, she also learned from Campion through the photographer friend some things that ordinary people don’t know, such as owning her own film company or a media company Directors, etc., if you are not tempted, you must be in hell.

In addition, at this time, Adrian called again to sincerely invite and faxed the script. Blanchett was very interested in the role, and the two had a detailed conversation on the phone, and finally agreed. So, after Christmas and New Years, Blanchett boarded a plane to Los Angeles in mid-January.

"Ladies and Gentlemen: This plane has parked at the bridge, please get off the plane through the rear boarding gate. Thank you"

The voice on the radio rang again, and Blanchett, who looked away, unbuckled his seat belt, took off his carry-on luggage and got off the plane with the crowd. When she waited for her large luggage at the luggage carousel and came to the exit, she was surprised after seeing the person picking up the plane clearly: "Ed?"
