King of Hollywood

Chapter 297 Unknown and Known

The dance movie considered for Jessica was not a whim. As early as when she was decided to star in "Dark Angel", Adrian had the idea of ​​tailoring a movie for her. Generally speaking, youth campus comedy is currently the most suitable for her, young and beautiful, as long as the script is suitable, it is not difficult to make her popular.

But here lies the problem. As I said a long time ago, youth campus comedy is easy to support young idols, but it will be very difficult to transform in the future. Many smart girls who see farther will deliberately avoid this type Movie. Jessica originally had the potential of a vase for various reasons, so if she really becomes a vase, it will be even more difficult to transform.

Adrian doesn't mind her being a vase, just like Liv, but Jessica will definitely not like it, so if he still has an idea now, this plan can only be put aside temporarily.

Besides, Jessica doesn't have much comedy experience. According to the original trajectory, she should have a role in "One Kiss", but this script was given to Drew by Adrian a few years ago. Coupled with the fact that "Dark Angel" was broadcast a year earlier, Jessica's vigorous figure has begun to be accepted by the audience. After much deliberation, a dance drama is more suitable.

Anyway, in a few years, she will have a "Sweetheart Dancing", and it would be good to get it out in advance, it's better to act in a horror movie in the past-several horror movie producers have approached her. Of course, you can't just use the script of "Sweetheart Dancing" directly. Although Jessica is the biggest highlight in the whole movie, the quality of the movie is very average.

To put it simply, whether it is inspirational or love, it is too bland, and the plot is also very old-fashioned, which cannot resonate with people emotionally. If you say it harshly, this is a failure. So after Adrian wrote an outline, he handed it over to the screenwriter team, and the screenwriter team did not disappoint him, and quickly gave a detailed script.

The brand-new story is very good. The heroine was born in an upper-middle-class family in Brooklyn, New York. She loved ballet since she was a child—hip-hop didn’t become fully popular until after the millennium, and it’s still the world of traditional dances—she wanted to enter Learn from the best dance schools in the United States. By chance, she met a black kid from Queens, who attracted her with the same passion for music and dance, and let her fully understand the beauty of the blues. However, when love sprouted between the two, they had to face countless obstacles from skin color and status. Although they both loved each other, going on like this would only crush their dreams.

There are conflicts, climaxes, twists and turns, as well as strong emotional releases, plus everyone's favorite jokes about poor boys breaking through racial and identity discrimination, realizing their dreams and embracing beautiful women. Maybe not, but it's definitely better than the original version of "Sweetheart Dancing", and it can also give Jessica a good popularity and evaluation, but...why does this script look so familiar? !

Yes, this script gave Adrian a very familiar feeling, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere. It should not be seen in the company. After all, he still has a lot of future scripts in his head. He said that many times he can recall a lot of things with just a little reminder, and the familiarity of this script is from here.

After spending a lot of time searching his memory, Adrian finally found the reason, and then he was embarrassed, why the script written by the screenwriters based on the idea of ​​"Sweetie Dancing" is so similar to "Keep the Last Dance" ? !

That's right, the similarity in the plot is at least 80% or more! They are all intertwined with ballet and blues, all are black and white romances, all have encountered various obstacles, and all have broken through for their dreams. There are only a few differences, for example, the main scene is in Chicago instead of New York, the heroine went to Chicago because of her mother’s death, and the way she met the black hero is also different, and the main resistance is not only skin color but also social status—this is still Added by Adrian's suggestion, Jessica will be classified as Latino because of his father, which is one of the reasons why she can't get good roles in the future, so the black and white love and racial discrimination are fierce. Too high is not convincing.

But this is not bad, according to Adrian's memory, the score of "Keep the Last Dance" is about the same as his estimate of the script written by the screenwriters based on the concept of "Sweetheart Dance", so it is better to directly write this script It's called "Keep the Last Dance". Of course, the modification that should be kept should be kept. When he returned to Los Angeles from participating in "The Trap of Stealing the Sky" last time, the script had already been approved, and he would soon start looking for directors and actors. Adrian also told Jessica about this by the way.

To be honest, Jessica's reaction was a little bit big, and it was very simple for Adrian to go further in that situation. However, during that hot kiss, he discovered something very interesting, which surprised him, and even thought for a few seconds that there was a problem with his judgment, but Jessica's reaction dispelled his doubts .

It seems that being born in a Catholic family is not a bad thing, but it will make him more serious, so he has to get up and leave in the end, not just for playing hard to get.

"You have to prepare well." Adrian said to himself after coming out of Jessica's room.

In the next few days, neither he nor Jessica tacitly mentioned what happened that day, but they became much closer to each other. They often walk on the streets of Queenstown in pairs, and when they go to the ski resort again, Adrian even shakes hands and teaches the little girl with his body close to his body. The crew members of "Lord of the Rings" couldn't help sighing, another good girl fell into the hands of the big devil.

As for the "Dark Angel of the Last Days" crew, no one cares, even though they all know Adrian's playboy name, but what other people are doing is other people's business, and the "Lord of the Rings" crew basically didn't treat them That said about New Zealand and the woman who directed Marvel. Cameron, who was the only one who came here because he was a producer, ran away after receiving a call from his girlfriend in just two days—he finally changed his girlfriend, and he was no longer "Sarah Connor", the leader of the rebel army. mother, but the granddaughter of Titanic survivor "Ruth Dawson".

And even if he wanted to say something, Adrian would retort: ​​You remember wrongly, Jessica is already old. Besides, the past few days seem to be intimate, but there is no movement of crossing the boundary at all. I thought that after I restrained myself, the little girl might become more active, but it is a pity that every time she shows such thoughts, she will instinctively immediately Divert yourself.

It's not surprising when you think about it, after all, she was born in a Catholic family and has a strict father, and so far... Besides, this makes her look very attractive, and Adrian is not in a hurry. What's more, it's not without gains. After the crew of "Dark Angel of the Last Day" left New Zealand for vacation, Adrian added another number in his address book that needed to be contacted frequently.

Of course, the new number needs to be contacted while the iron is hot, and the old number cannot be forgotten because of this.

"Aren't you really going to come and see? This is winter in the southern hemisphere. Isn't it amazing that you suddenly cross from summer to winter, and you only need to sleep for a while?" Holding the phone receiver, Adrian looked at the The looming snowflakes in the night sky outside said in a tone of exclamation. He could almost hear the sound of car horns coming from the other end. He was sure that the streets of New York must be sunny at this time.

"Frankly speaking, I really want to come, Ed, and I miss you too. But you know, I still have to prepare for school and participate in many activities. For a while, my house was completely surrounded." Natalie came over with a clear and helpless voice.

"I can imagine." Adrian chuckled.

"Of course you can, you've faced this situation more times than I have." Natalie's voice sounded coquettish.

"I believe that with your smart head, you will be able to come up with a solution, right?" Adrian continued to smile.

"There is no good way, I just rented a small villa outside, that's all, but I don't have to listen to my parents' nagging." Natalie also laughed, "Hey, Ed, although I can't come to New Zealand, But you can at least come to New York, you recently attended the premieres of two films, it's still very leisurely, this time I promise to have time to come out-perhaps you want to see my new home?"

"Then it's settled, so be it. It's already very late here... Oh, it should be dawn soon, and I have to take a nap. Congratulations to Harvard again for passing your application." Adrian After An finished speaking, she turned off the phone, took a long breath, frowned again, and then let go after a long time.

On the other side of the world, Natalie, who was walking on the street wearing sunglasses and holding her things, also let out a long sigh after putting away the phone, and then turned into her villa.

"Who were you calling just now, Nada?" Shelly asked casually after taking the big and small bags from her daughter's arms.

"A friend congratulated me." Natalie replied easily.

"Really?" Shelly laughed, very proud and proud, "Maybe you should throw a party and invite them over, never mind your dad, this is your home."

"I'll think about it, Mom." Natalie smiled and pushed her mother into the kitchen. "You'd better make lunch quickly. I'm starving to death. It's rare for me to come here. I'll leave all the lunch to you."

"Okay, okay." Shelly lovingly kissed her daughter's head, "But you have to help, otherwise, when I leave, you will starve to death."

"No problem, I'll be here right away." Natalie gave her mother a supercilious look with a smile, and walked upstairs with a few books she bought on the street.

When she came to the bedroom, put the books away, and tidied them up again, Natalie stretched her waist and took a deep breath, then her eyes fell on the neatly placed newspaper clippings on the desk, those were from May to early June All the reports on The Phantom Menace so far. She walked over and rummaged through it, then put the phone aside, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Everything went according to plan. Although there were some unforeseen circumstances, it basically went smoothly, but... Natalie, who walked to the door, turned her head and glanced at the collection on the table. It's better to wait for a while, and it's better to go to Harvard to have a look, and all factors must be taken into consideration.

While Natalie was planning her upcoming college life, someone on the other side of New York was arguing with her father about the same thing.

"You have to give me a reason, Ennie, why choose something else when there are better choices?" Trump held back his anger and asked his daughter, "Do you know what the Ivy League means? Well? Well, you don’t like Brown, Columbia is good, or Penn, which is where I graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.”

"It has nothing to do with the Ivy, Dad!" Ivanka walked around the room a little anxiously, "I just want to choose the university I want to go to, and the university I want to go to is the one I want to go to, not the one I want to go to." Dad wants me to go."

"But the University of California is on the West Coast, and it's still a public school—although I admit they have a lot of influence—it's too far away, Ennie, why can't you choose a school closer to New York?" Trump sighed, " Like Georgetown University, I remember you saying before, you like it because the White House is nearby."

"No, Dad, I said it, I only go to the school I want to go to! I want to be more independent, not study and live in a place where I only need to drive a few hours every day to go home. No one can change me. decision!" Ivanka refused politely.

"I will never allow you to go to the University of California! I will not pay a tuition fee for this!" Trump finally got angry.

"It's okay, I can earn it myself!" Ivanka didn't back down at all.

"Okay, you two! Arguing won't solve the problem!" Melania, who had been watching from the side, finally stepped in, and angrily yelled both father and daughter.

She came over and gave Ivanka a wink, then pulled the furious Trump into the corner and whispered. I don't know what she said. After a few minutes, Trump finally calmed down. Come down, and then, Melania walked over to Ivanka, who was watching coldly.

"Eni...Ivanka, I know you don't like me, but now I hope to have a few words with you as a friend, okay?" She asked very seriously.

"Okay." Ivanka nodded reluctantly. Frankly speaking, this woman is not bad. In a few months, her brothers and younger brothers have recognized her. If it wasn't in the closet that night... Maybe she has also been accepted.

Thinking of all that happened that night, Ivanka couldn't help but get angry.

"Ivanka?" Melania, who noticed it, showed a questioning look.

"It's nothing, just tell me." Ivanka said after controlling her emotions. After hesitating for a while, she added, "Call me Yi Ni."

"Okay, Ennie." Melania smiled, but immediately became serious again: "Your father loves you very much, Ennie, I believe you understand this, and he also knows that he treats you in some places." I owe something, so I have always supported you to do what you want to do independently, whether it is a model or a host, right?"

After a pause, she then continued: "Your father hopes that you can receive a better education, he hopes that you will be better in the future, and a public school's help in this regard is limited, you should understand, right? You're going to the west coast, and you want to be away from your home in New York for a while, I can understand, but UC is definitely not a good choice. Why can't you consider other universities? Like Stanford, I've seen your grades, if you apply to Stanford, you should There will be no problem."

Ivanka was silent for a few minutes, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again: "Okay, then choose Stanford."

She took a deep look at Melania, then looked at her father in the distance with her back turned away, said in a low voice, "Please... apologize to Dad for me", and then hurriedly left the study.

"Damn it!" All the way to her bedroom, after closing the door, Ivanka leaned against the wall, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Forget it, even though you can't go to UCLA, Palo Alto is only a few hours away from Los Angeles...Wait a minute, Adrian Cowell, you bastard who ruined my life, I'll make sure You regret it!

Adrian, who doesn't know this at all, is still directing the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in New Zealand. Although he can't go too deep into the forest park because of winter, as long as the weather is good enough, he can still spare some time. Due to the increased rest time, the staff and actors have also maintained a good state. Many shots have passed within a few times, and with Jackson's help, the progress is not only very good but also slightly improved.

No problem in this aspect means that there are problems in other aspects. For example, after Liv, Gwyneth, and Blanchett came again, Adrian suddenly found that the three of them seemed to be getting closer, and Liv Either with Gwyneth, or with Blanchett, or with both of them, hardly ever alone. As for Gwyneth or Blanchett in front of Adrian—of course, in private—it is also common to hug and even kiss and caress each other.

Although this made Adrian feast on it, it also aroused doubts and admiration in his heart.

"How did you two make her like this?" he asked Blanchett, who was holding him.

"Oh, you don't know, Ed, what a lubricant she is," Blanchett replied with a sigh.

Well, and the tit-for-tat that Gwyneth and Blanchett usually show, it's just right for Liv's character to act as a lubricant in it.

"It's not bad." Adrian said in an admiring tone, looking at Liv and Gwyneth who were moving together on the bed with two "Y"s facing upside down. The legs tightened immediately.

Meeting Blanchett's charming gray-blue eyes, he giggled and accelerated his efforts. After Monica and Sophie, Blanchett also wanted to have a child, and Adrian would naturally not refuse . \u003c/p\u003e
