King of Hollywood

Chapter 204 Progress

"Currently there are 6 links in total, because it is necessary to listen to the audience's feedback at any time, and they decide the development of certain things, and talent shows pay more attention to their opinions than TV dramas, so they can't be produced too long in advance. You can at least I want to come here once." In the studio, Adrian said this while leading people to visit.

"Is it necessary to arrange it so tight?" Before the other party answered, the young girl beside him spoke first, "All kinds of interviews, all kinds of presentations, especially the lives of models, all of which can arouse people's interest, isn't it ?"

Adrian glanced at her and took his eyes back. He didn't seem to take her into consideration. He still looked at the middle-aged man beside him and explained to him: "One episode per two weeks is compact, and this is the best arrangement now." , Showing the audience in detail will only make them lose interest, but a moderate cover-up can whet their appetite.”

"What if something delays me?" The young girl asked again.

But Adrian still ignored her, and continued to say to the middle-aged man: "The current judges have expanded to five, and there is no need to appear at the same time. Of course, if there is something, please notify in advance, and we can arrange it here. "

"It's a matter of course, isn't it, Yi Ni?" Trump stopped his daughter who was still about to speak in time.

"Thank you for your commentary, Ed, I will perform my duties well." He said to Adrian with a smile, and then added: "Actually, I can't wait."

"Then that's it." Adrian nodded and looked at the time, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. I can let Eddie or Max explain the rest to you. As for other things, Let's talk again when we have time, anyway, you don't have to be in such a hurry now, do you?"

"Of course." Trump laughed, and then raised his hand as a gesture of please.

Seeing Adrian walking out with the female secretary, Ivanka Trump, who came to Los Angeles, snorted softly: "I don't like him."

Looking at the man who was walking out with a smile and an intimate conversation with the beautiful female secretary, she involuntarily frowned, and an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes.

"I don't know why you have so much hostility towards him." Trump sighed.

"Isn't it enough to listen to those rumors, Dad?" Ivanka asked rhetorically, "I bet he slept with his secretary."

"Which company president hasn't slept with his beautiful female secretary." Trump muttered.

"Dad" Ivanka immediately raised her voice.

"I didn't say anything," Trump said quickly, "Well, even if you don't like him, don't say it clearly on your face, okay? This is the education you should have."

Ivanka opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but quickly closed it again, and said after a while: "I see, I will pay attention, there will be no next time."

But when the topic changed, she crossed her arms and looked at her father: "You too, Dad, don't forget what you promised me, you know what I will follow, if you dare to imitate that guy, I will be very, very unhappy. "

"Okay, Yi Ni, there are no such young girls here, and this is California." Trump laughed and patted his daughter's head lovingly.

"Then I'll go back. I have nothing to do here." Seeing that her father hadn't forgotten, Ivanka was temporarily relieved.

"Okay, I'll go back later." Trump nodded, and after watching his daughter leave, he was about to go to the two people in charge that Adrian mentioned to continue asking. But he stopped after taking two steps, turned his head and looked in the direction Ivanka left with some uncertainty, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head again and took another step.

"Yes, when I came out of TBs, Charlie already showed me the data, I have to say, well done, buddy." After returning to the company, Adrian immediately gave Claude After making a phone call, at the final preparation studio where he introduced the "American Model Contest" to the Trump father and daughter, the harvesting work in Southeast Asia has made great progress again.

"Isn't it too early to stop now? Even if you are right, I can prepare earlier, can't I?" Claude's voice came from the other side.

"Really?" Adrian's fingers tapped back and forth on the armrest, and he still knew what Claude was thinking, "Well, you can do it if you want, but remember that our main energy should be focused now. On Global, I heard that the French Verdiwang Group is also in contact with them, so don't delay the serious business."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I will only leave a small part of the funds, and the father's side, your uncle's side, and Lei Shidong's side have all been negotiated, even if Vidiwang wants to intervene, it will not help." Crowe Deha laughed.

Adrian hung up the phone with satisfaction. He was very confident in Claude and knew the company's situation very well. He looks like he's a hands-off shopkeeper. Many things are decided by Claude, but he has basically never been absent from the meetings he should attend. He has read the detailed reports every month. Even if there is something unclear, Leggett, a personal financial advisor, would also point it out for him. What's more, with Charlize by her side, she is shrewd and able to let go of the documents to be reviewed every time according to the degree of importance. With the equity in hand, there is no need to worry about losing control of the company.

Looking at the time, Adrian stood up, went to the inner room to change into casual clothes, and then came out again.

"Charlie, I have an appointment tonight, you can go back alone - go to Kate's side, I probably won't go back at night, help me look after Lily." He said to the female secretary, then raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to know whose idea you are playing." Charlize, who was arranging the things on the table, had a half-smile expression, "When the index finger and middle finger of your right hand start to move back and forth, I know you are uneasy again." Good intentions."

"This is really shocking, I am so unbearable in your eyes?" Adrian sighed exaggeratedly.

"That's right, it's that unbearable." Charlize replied without hesitation.

"Well, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked this. You can think of the answer on your knees." Adrian shrugged helplessly, and was about to walk out with his legs lifted.

"Which one is it?" asked Charlize after him. "The one from the afternoon, or the one from the day before yesterday, or the one from the other day."

Adrian turned around in astonishment, but Charlize spread out her hands in a leisurely manner: "I want to arrange an itinerary for you, Ed, so who will appear on the list is very important to me, I am a responsible secretary .”

After laughing for a while, he pursed his lips and thought for a while, and Adrian gave the answer: "Guess."

When the doorbell rang, Naomi, who was already prepared and rehearsed several times in her heart, was still startled. After all, she only met twice in total, and she doesn't know what Adrian likes, but what is certain is that he is a very gentle and kind man, so...

After calming down, Naomi opened the door, and it was indeed Adrian outside, dressed casually, with a little more unruly in the calm, which made her even more charming.

"Hi, Ed, you're very punctual." She smiled and moved away as a gesture of invitation, but after seeing him, the feeling of ups and downs between the two was gone.

"A man's punctuality is a virtue." Adrian walked in, and then took out the gift behind him, a fiery red rose.

"This is..." An indescribable light of surprise flashed in Naomi's eyes. The rose still had thorns, so the branches were wrapped in something, obviously not long after it was picked.

"I came from the company. I left in a hurry. I didn't have any presents for you. Fortunately, roses were planted in someone's yard nearby, so I secretly..." Adrian explained with a smile, and at the same time clapped his hands, thumbs There was still a little dark stain on it, and it was obvious that it was all true.

"Thank you, I...I like your gift very much." Naomi said a little excitedly, the feeling in her heart was indescribable, stealing roses from other people's yards to give to herself, this was something that only happened so many years ago.

She quickly found a small old vase, cleaned it, filled it with water, inserted the roses and placed it on the window sill.

"You are such a sentimental person, Ed." After calming down and serving coffee for Adrian, Naomi said, the smile on her face became softer.

"Facing a beautiful woman like you, even a fool would know what to do." Adrian said with a light smile.

After chatting for a few more words, Naomi immediately went to the kitchen to get busy. Her cooking skills are not very good, and she is still struggling—she declined Adrian's relief and didn't want to owe more money before paying off the rent. , this is a matter of attitude, let alone don't forget what she said in the mirror that night.

However, I have been cooking and eating by myself for many years, and I always have two specialties, and I still have some cash on me. If I take it all out, I can buy some cheap ingredients.

"It tastes good. This soup is at least at the level of a first-class chef. I really didn't expect to taste such a delicious soup. If you weren't in front of me, maybe I would lick the plate." Adrian was full of praise Said, let Naomi's smile increase a lot, no woman doesn't like others to praise her cooking skills.

After dinner, she quickly packed the tableware into the kitchen, but unexpectedly, Adrian came in to help.

"I don't know how to cook, but I have no problem cleaning and tidying up. Although I have never done it at home, do such trivial things still need training?" He said while putting the tableware into the dishwasher, and then a The plate made a good interpretation of his words - it slipped out of his hand, and while making him flustered, it jumped several times and fell to the ground. If it wasn't for Naomi's quick eyes and hands to grab the plate, it would definitely be a bang It fell to pieces with a bang.

"Well, a little accident, it's normal." Adrian coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment.

"Let me do it." Naomi said, holding back her smile.

"No, I was just careless for a while, and I won't make such a mistake again."

"That can't be done. I only have such a set of tableware. If I accidentally break it, then I can only eat takeaway in the future."

"You mean to say that I will only add to your troubles and make you more unlucky, don't you?"

"You said that, I didn't say that, I just want to prevent the worst outcome."

"Come on, that's what you mean, it can't be denied."

A sentence of joking words came from the kitchen, as if the young couple were flirting and cursing, there was a warm feeling.

Fortunately, the damn antique dishwasher didn't go on strike. With Adrian's assistance, Naomi quickly cleaned up the kitchen, and the two returned to the living room to chat again. We can talk about any topic, such as the interesting stories about our childhood, or our different views on certain things, etc. Adrian always makes Naomi giggle very easily, and the trembling appearance is quite attractive .

At first, one person sat on the chair and the other sat on the sofa, then both sat on the sofa, and then Naomi leaned on Adrian's arm.

"By the way, you should have read through that script several times, right?" Adrian suddenly mentioned the new script, "What do you think?"

"Hmm... It's still the same as that time, I don't know what to say." Naomi said after hesitating for a while.

Adrian saw her hesitation in his eyes but didn't ask, but changed the angle: "What kind of character do you think the heroine should be?"

"...fragile, sensitive, and even a little nervous, so after a series of blows, she began to become desperate, and then from despair to madness." Naomi's eyes became a little floating.

"Then you still say you don't know what you're talking about?" Adrian's joking voice sounded at this moment.

Naomi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he had seen through her thoughts, so she pursed her mouth and looked at him in displeasure, and then sighed after a while: "I still only saw the plot, the heroine is because she is in Hollywood. Has been unable to achieve success, but the same-sex couple became stars by relying on a certain producer, felt that she had betrayed them, so they found a killer to kill each other, and then went crazy... committed suicide?"

After a pause, she thought for a few seconds before she continued: "But I don't know what the previous ones represent. In short, apart from this, the whole script has no logic at all. It seems to be composed of various fragments. Even if I say This plot is not necessarily logical, after all, I don't know what you are thinking, Ed."

"You can observe this, you are already very good." Adrian praised.

"Probably because... I empathize with you." Naomi smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Of course, this script was originally written for you." Adrian suddenly laughed.

"Written for...for me?" Naomi was stunned immediately.

"It's not all," Adrian shrugged, "I wanted to make a movie with no logic at all, but it can't be completely without logic, at least there must be a carrier to carry these fragments, otherwise the movie It's just a mess. I didn't find the right one until I met you."

"Meet...me?" Naomi looked at him in confusion, but her heart jumped with joy.

"Remember that night, when we went shopping in Hollywood and walked to Mulholland Drive, what did you say?" Adrian reached out and stroked her face gently, with pity in his eyes, " You said that when Mrs. Lawrence threw all your things out, you were completely desperate. At that moment, you even wanted to drive to the end of Mulholland Drive and drive over the cliff. I was thinking, then What kind of despair would make a person want to fight by ending his life, and how many people in Hollywood, a dream factory, have the same idea? So I added this to the script and made a fictional Hollywood Add that kind of desperation and madness to it, and use this kind of emotion to carry the fragments of logic, so the name of the script is "Mulholland Drive", understand?"

These words hit Naomi's heart like a heavy hammer. She may not understand what the whole script wants to do, but Adrian's words about having a complete script because of her experience are just one word. Passed into the ear without leaking. All the events of that day came to mind again, and for a moment, her eye sockets turned red uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving..." Naomi, who covered her mouth, was about to stand up when a force suddenly came from her shoulders, pulling her into Adrian's arms.

"It's okay, I understand how you feel." He held her in his arms and patted her back gently.

Naomi struggled symbolically twice and then stopped moving. She buried her head in Adrian's chest and took a deep breath, her body trembling slightly. After a while, she raised her head. Although she didn't cry anymore, her eyes were red and her face was full of sadness.

"I'm sorry, I just... I just..." She sniffed to explain.

"I said, it's okay," Adrian held her face and rubbed it lightly, still with that kind of pity and warm eyes, and his tone was full of the power to calm people's hearts, "It's all over now, you are a Strong girl, Nami, things are changing and you will have your own achievements."

Naomi looked at Adrian in a daze, and the feeling of that night was once again in her heart. It was a long-lost feeling of being safe and reliable. So in the next second, she kissed his mouth, and Naomi kissed and sucked unceremoniously, regardless of everything, as if she wanted to burst out all her enthusiasm.

Adrian also responded unceremoniously, fiddled and entangled again and again, making a sizzling sound, and the hands holding her face began to slide down, passing from the neck to the shoulders and then to the arms, bringing a burst of tension. Array current.

Naomi, who started to pant, let out a groan in her throat, suddenly straightened her body and turned over to straddle Adrian, and then unbuttoned her blouse while breathing rapidly, Adrian also unbuttoned her mouth, and from time to time She kissed and lingered. Soon the coat was unbuttoned, and Naomi picked up the corners of the coat and turned it over together with the undershirt. The pair of plump and soft clothes looked unusually strong against the backdrop of the bra.

"Come on, Ed" she looked at him and said panting, as if it was squeezed out of her throat, with endless temptation, his hands immediately grabbed her slender waist and kneaded gently, both of them The fire of human desire has burst out, and a big battle is about to kick off. . ..
