King of Hollywood

"I'm sorry!" The person who hurried in was obviously a little absent-minded, and he didn't find someone until he closed the door and walked a few steps inside, and they were still hugging each other in such an intimate posture, and they immediately screamed. 【..】

Adrian frowned, and then let go of Charlize. A young girl came in, about twenty years old, dressed very simply, but with fair skin, and with short black hair, she was quite pretty. She obviously doesn't understand the rules. Generally, if someone breaks in, they will immediately withdraw when they see this situation. This kind of behavior will only add some fun and excitement to them, but this girl froze where she was neither advancing nor retreating. He stared blankly at them without moving.

"Who are you?" Adrian straightened his clothes and asked a little rudely.

"I...I..." The girl trembled, as if she just realized what she had done.

"My name is... my name is Jessica Stoyadinovich. I have something... I forgot something here... I didn't take it away..." She finally explained with some stammers.

"Forgot here?" Charlize, who also cleaned up, narrowed her eyes and looked at her, "You mean, you were fired, but you still left something here."

"Yes... yes, Ms. Theron." The girl obviously knew Charlize, she lowered her head tremblingly, her hands were clasped together and stirred uneasily.

"The person who was fired will leave with his things that day, and it is impossible to come back in a short time without permission. Who let you in." Charlize asked sternly.

"It's Mr. Brill, I got permission, Ms. Theron, I know the company's regulations, and I guarantee that I have not violated the regulations." The girl hurriedly said, "I left in a hurry that day, Ms. Helton... …clearly didn’t want me to hang around for a second, so…what I said was true.”

She folded her hands to her chest, almost in prayer. With a begging tone, I feel a little pity. But Charlize was unmoved, and frowned at her, and was about to speak for a few seconds, but Adrian stopped her unexpectedly at this time.

"Jessica Stojadinovich, is that so?" He grabbed Charlize's hand and asked with interest while looking at the girl in front of him.

"Yes... yes, sir." Although the other party did not recognize him. But he still answered cautiously.

Adrian didn't speak anymore, but walked around her leisurely, and didn't speak again until he felt it was okay: "Have you ever studied acting?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "I started practicing dance at a very young age. I got my high school diploma at the age of 16, and I once studied at the Delaware College of Art and Design for one semester."

He is good at selling himself, so he didn’t answer directly, but just said that he had practiced dancing, and he also specifically stated that he graduated from high school at the age of 16. Adrian raised his eyebrows, although he roughly guessed what answer he would get. But he continued to ask: "What's next? Why not go to Delaware College of Art and Design? It's also a good university."

"We moved to Philadelphia, so I had to give up. Then I took some courses at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia." The girl replied, although she wanted to express herself, but compared to the calm appearance just now, she looked a little worried this time Glancing at him, his voice became much softer, as if he lacked confidence.

Apparently, the so-called learned part of the course. It should refer to some short-term training, but it's enough, basically... already matched. But Adrian still asked: "Where are your parents?"

"My parents?" The girl was stunned for a moment, but she quickly answered, "My father is an electronic engineer. When I was young, he often taught me how to use a computer and... use d to write commands. My mother is a teacher. She taught I read, and I was able to graduate from high school as soon as possible, and it is also ... her credit."

"Very good," Adrian nodded with certainty, "Do you have an agent?"

"No... I don't." The girl was stunned again, her expression suddenly became subtle, and her body moved slightly.

"Very good," Adrian clapped his hands, "Leave your phone number and contact address, and I will arrange an agent for you as soon as possible. He will guide you on how to better present yourself in front of the camera, and treat you A certain level of packaging, you have to do your best to master these as soon as possible, is there a problem?"

"Yes..." The girl bit her lower lip, her chest rose and fell very obviously.

Adrian immediately made a questioning gesture.

"Are you Adrian? Mr. Cowell?" She gritted her teeth and looked at him without blinking.

"Yes." Adrian gave the answer she wanted.

The girl didn't speak anymore, she immediately found out the paper and pen, left her phone number and address, and then left the mail room quickly without leaving anything behind.

"You're never satisfied, Ed." At this moment, Charlize opened her mouth again, and rolled her eyes at Adrian, who had carefully put away the other party's name, address, and phone paper.

"No, no, honey, I admit that I'm a little interested in her, but it's only a little bit." Adrian smiled lightly and shook his fingers, "I just thought of an interesting idea after seeing her."

"Really?" Charlize raised her eyebrows and folded her arms on her chest. "You see her future again, and then you want to make her fit your heart?"

"A movie about vampires, because the theme is relatively cool, the color is also colder, so actors with very fair skin are needed." Even a few popular teen idols, but again, because the content is too... narcissistic, it will also be hated by many people, and it is difficult for popular idols to go further after the series is over. Because of this, I have been hesitant to take it Put Kristen Stewart in, and now there's a suitable replacement."

"Oh?" Charlize was a little surprised, apparently attracted by Christine's name, "You really are after her, well, who else but her."

"It's hard to say what's going on," Adrian didn't deny, and then pulled her to leave, "Okay. Let's go to the set as soon as possible. We've run out of time after being interrupted by her, of course—"

He showed a leisurely... smirk: "I will make it up...Little Pepper."

"I will never take those nasty photos and movies with you again!" Charlize immediately gave him the middle finger angrily, and took the lead in walking. Adrian, who successfully changed the subject, shrugged and followed In the back, don't look at what she said so swearingly. You don't need to guess what will happen in the end.

It's a nice bonus though, it's pretty funny that Jessica Stoyadinovich worked in the mailroom of ab production and got fired. I believe that if he hadn't had a bad taste and intervened, it would be very possible for her to follow the established path-yes, for Jessica Stojadinovich, Adrian is more familiar with her other name.

That's just as well, since he's really hesitant to cast Kristen in that series anyway. Although she used "The Evil in an American Pastoral" to hone her acting skills, that series was really ruined. Yes. It is "Twilight", a series of films adapted from American-style Qiong Yao's novels. Because of Adrian's foresight, Stephanie Meyer's novels are published by a publishing company under A Media, and the right to adapt them is naturally in their hands. , has now been handed over to the new line, and is in the process of preparation, and the start-up time is set for the second half of the year.

No matter how much Stephanie Meyer looks at herself in the novel. It is an indisputable fact that this series of novels and the adapted film have sold well in the United States and become a phenomenon-level topic, so why let it go when there is money to be made? Although the operation, hype and publicity of the film company are indispensable. But with the mature team under his command, there is no difficulty in replicating it.

Now that there is a more suitable choice, Adrian doesn’t have to worry—of course, if Stoyadinovich is interested, he doesn’t mind playing it a few times—by the way, he can also test Christine’s patience . As for what she will do in the future, isn't there another good series? Although the novel will not be published until next year, the other party must have an idea by now, and she has also worked part-time as a TV screenwriter. It is not difficult to get in touch, and then sign a book contract and get the right to adapt the film. under control.

As for the original leading actor, according to the usual practice, this kind of balance that was broken by oneself must be filled by oneself. Since one is caught, one must be pushed down. That's a good way out, too, isn't it? Mila Kunis can be described as a duck to water in DP now, she can almost be compared with the porn queen. copy?

In private, several major media groups have inextricable relationships with some adult film production companies. After all, according to the development of TV stations, cable stations have become more and more important, and encrypted cable stations must play some adult movies to attract subscriptions. . As one of the media groups, A Media is no exception, and naturally has a good relationship with the equally young DP.

Well, this is a digression, leave it to Martin Mortimer, he will not let himself down.

Then again, there seem to be quite a few supporting actresses in "Twilight". Think about how Charlize and the others make fun of themselves, making TV series like "Desperate Housewives" and "Gossip Girl" is entirely for the convenience of him play with women. That being the case, let's make a series of movies that are convenient for him to play with women, um... Christine can also make a cameo, for example, the heroine has a few high school classmates, it must be very interesting. Oh, that Asian can let Kim Tae Hee try it. As a qualified toy, he should be rewarded.

By the way, the vampire TV series can also be prepared. After "Twilight" becomes popular, there must be demand for this aspect. Tennis players have played it, how about some gymnastics?

Not to mention that, Adrian is currently focusing on the filming of "Iron Man". Although it does not require much acting skills as a commercial blockbuster, since it is his first work as the leading actor, of course he must do his best. , so even if the outside media reports that "Universal is losing its summer vacation time", it can't distract him in the slightest.

It's true that Universal didn't have many important movies this summer, and the third "Pirates of the Caribbean" was a huge hit, but it was produced by Miramax. Although they both belong to A Media, they are two film companies after all. In short, this year's Universal is completely different from the invincible scenery in the popular schedules in the past few years, so some media started to make noise.

Sadly, none of the other major studios who really know the situation see it that way. Among other things, the Harry Potter series alone is enough for Universal to earn money, not to mention colluding with Marvel. This is the normal situation now, there are ups and downs, ups and downs, popular schedules are always ruled by a film company, anyone who watches it will feel something is wrong, and this is one of the reasons why Adrian takes a break.

But there is no need to be distracted by the movie. But there are other areas that need his attention, such as music. After the Independence Day, a disappearing 蟗托着 dagger 跽u锫汤目 景δ谝问早\u003eMou gjian  this solitary  watering  about drought is lucky loyalty drop 鍪鄹 Counseling iliac quilt frame?

I have to say that this is news that shocked many people in the industry. You must know that when Sony and Bertelsmann jointly established a new music company three years ago, many people were optimistic that the record market would stop declining. Bertelsmann walked away and handed everything over to Sony. Since then, the Big Five record companies have become the Big Four.

This shows how the record market has deteriorated. At the same time, some are worried that Sony seems to have a tendency to overtake Universal and become the only record company in the world. However, if you collect the information carefully, you will find that there are many things worth pondering. The most typical point is that after Sony annexed BG, it only got its publishing business. But the copyright of the music library is in the hands of another company—yes, Universal Music!

This is the opportunity for Adrian to be calculated at the beginning. Proposed cooperation to Sony, carve up the music market! The rise of online paid music is doomed to the decline of the record market, and whoever can't resist will be doomed. Among the five major record companies, Sony, Universal, and Warner all have large media groups as their backers. Although BG also has Bertelsmann, EMI is even a group in itself, but they are all limited to Europe. From the perspective of future generations, they have been abandoned. Divide up is doomed.

When Adrian proposed cooperation, Sony did not have much interest. Although several major record companies were looking for opportunities to acquire each other after the millennium, Adrian's proposal was still a bit exaggerated. What's more, he didn't say it very clearly, so Sony only agreed because he offended him and wanted to make an explanation. Anyway, there is nothing to lose, and it is good to calm his anger in this way.

But when the traditional record market began to be gradually eroded by online paid music downloads, Sony reacted and immediately cooperated with Universal. At Adrian's suggestion, they bypassed the European Union and cooperated with bg first, and then prepared It's almost time to make an acquisition. The reason why Sony was able to succeed at once was that Universal Music also put in a lot of effort in private. Otherwise, with their current strength, if they wanted to swallow it all in one bite, they might be choked.

This can be regarded as a win-win cooperation. Sony itself lacks distribution channels, but Universal Music, which has inherited the legacy of Polygram, does not have such a demand, so it is natural to take away BG's music library, and at the same time push Sony to the foreground To attract firepower, this deal is very cost-effective.

Then, bg fell, will EMI be far behind?

"Although as an established music group, EMI still has the potential to fight, and at the beginning of this year, it wanted to acquire Warner Records, but unfortunately it still lacked support. But Warner was too impatient. They are still Sony or us. It is impossible to swallow EMI alone. Therefore, it is the right choice to continue to cooperate with Sony, seize the opportunity to bypass the antitrust to acquire EMI in a split form, and squeeze Warner to the end. , the era of three pillars of music distribution will eventually come." Adrian said to Claude.

However, this is not where he spends the most time and energy. Everything has been arranged, and Claude agreed. The rest is just a matter of time. EMI will not live past 21 years this time, so he spends the most time and energy The ones are on the other side.

"Ed, there is something I want to discuss with you." Taylor Swift sat on Adrian's lap, put her hands around his neck and said coquettishly with a smile, her two iconic red lips looked special charming.

Now she is between adolescence and maturity, especially after being constantly nourished by Adrian, the pure sexiness makes her very tempting.

"Oh? Let me tell you something." Adrian raised his eyebrows.

"You promise me first, okay?" Taylor continued to be coquettish, and even stuck to his body and rubbed gently.

"Don't even think about it," Adrian rebuffed. "If you promise, you must do it. If I agree, but you make a request that I can't accept, then it's my fault."

"Really, Ed isn't considerate at all," Taylor murmured, pursing his lips.

"The aggressive method is useless." Adrian pinched her little chin leisurely.

"Okay, okay," Taylor said with a reluctant look, but immediately turned into a cautious look, "I want to date another man."

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, "You broke into my office and said you had something to discuss with me, and you asked me to agree first, that is, to date another man."

"Listen to me," Taylor said, not flustered at all, shaking his arm with a look of reproach, "I just hang out with him to find a feeling, I need new inspiration to write songs, I promise there will be no Things that shouldn't have happened!"

"Need inspiration to compose?" Adrian looked at her playfully, "You promise?"

"Yeah," Taylor nodded sharply, "I can definitely guarantee it."

As she said that, she jumped up and took something out of the backpack she was carrying. That was... a chastity belt? !
