King of Hollywood Chapter 2: “0 Millionaire”

It was already the afternoon of the next day when we boarded the plane. Although Adrian started to arrange it after receiving the call, this movie is very important, so there are a lot of things to deal with, it took almost a day The time is basically fixed, and if Charlize is not there, it may take twice as long.

"To be honest, I should thank you, Charlie, if I weren’t with you, my life wouldn’t be messed up." Adrian expressed emotion to Charliez after taking back his eyes from Baiyun outside the window Said.

But it was his schedule that was on the way.

"I've rearranged it according to your request. If it's okay, so be it." Charlize said deliberately in an aria tone, but the delicate face was expressionless and very uncoordinated.

"Oh, this confirms my words even more." Adrian reached out and hugged Charlize's waist into his arms, and the girl immediately screamed and sat on his thigh, so it was easy to crack this trick.

"This is on a plane, Ed." Charlize said half annoyed and half annoyed.

"Of course I know this is in the plane, and I also know that there is no one else on the plane except the pilots we are already in the cabin, dear." Adrian said with a grin, his hands began to be unreliable.

"Don’t call me dear"

"Okay, sweetheart."

"Don’t call me sweetheart"

"No problem, baby."

"Don't call it...damn you are listening to me?" Charlize struggled to get up, but Adrian didn't let go anyway, just looked at her happily.

"Why, do you want to do it here?" Charlize, who couldn't keep her calm, said angrily, and the unspeakable words immediately made her regret, because Adrian yanked her away. Zipper on jeans.

"You guy" hurriedly thumped him with his elbows, Charlize finally escaped from the arms of Adrian and sat on the other side of the plane, then stared at him with a bit of hatred.

"I am serious, Charlie, there is no better secretary assistant than you." Adrian looked at her with a smile.

"Then raise your salary," Charlize said unkindly. "I still have a new job called nanny."

"No problem, how about adding 30%?" Adrian agreed very readily, and the girl was surprised for a moment, because he adjusted her salary by 50% just a month ago, and more than a year. The time has been raised four times, and in the profession of secretary assistant, Charlize has received a rare high salary.

"I’m not kidding, Charlie, you are really excellent. Needless to say, the work you’ve done all the time. The items I’m going to discuss this time are also completed by you, aren’t you?" Adrian said. He shook the schedule in his hand, and then he sat in front of the girl, held her hand in his own hands, and looked at her sincerely: "I don't want you to leave, I want to keep you in a useful way. Around."

"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." After a few seconds of silence, Charlize stood up and walked behind the cabin.

Looking at her back, a smile appeared on the corner of Adrian's mouth, shrugging again, and diverting attention to other places, such as airplanes. Because the needs are more urgent, the leased aircraft model is older, and it may be more bumpy when encountering strong airflow, but the layout in the cabin is still very good.

It seems time to consider buying a private jet? Adrian thought so. But he shook his head immediately, not yet. Although TBS was successfully included in them, he then gave Claude two new goals: Marvel Comics and TV Network. The acquisition of TBS did not cost too much money, and it can be used in this regard.

It’s needless to say that Marvel comics. After entering the 21st century where CG technology is mature, their superheroes dominate most of the screen, so they have made huge profits. Adrian can’t think of a reason not to buy it. Take a look at Warner, after the acquisition of comics in the late 1960s, "Superman" and "Batman" brought them many benefits. Now that you know its prospects, don’t you want to wait until the stock of Marvel Comics starts to rise?

As for other TV networks, it is based on paid profits rather than advertisements. It is the largest paid cable TV network in the United States, and it is also one of the few TV networks based on original TV series. Although the episodes produced are inseparable from sex, violence, and black, they are always guaranteed in quality, and they are produced by Brothers. Similarly, the classic episodes have not yet been produced, and the acquisition is now a good time.

As a result, plus Adrian still don’t want to live a life with debts-affected by previous life, there is no way-private jets are not expensive, maintenance is the most expensive place, so I thought about it. Fan Fan still gave up this plan. But don’t wait too long, because the year of 1995 is coming, the stocks of Cisco and Microsoft in the hand have been increasing, and the two people at Stanford have already begun to collect the website address in advance, Adrian secretly let people One or two points are made without revealing traces. By this time next year, his net worth will only continue to expand.

Okay, let’s go back to what is currently going on. Adrian reached out and took the folder next to the itinerary in front of him to open it. Crowder spent almost a month adjusting and reorganizing the TBS, and it was time for him to come up with something. In fact, Claude called to ask him to fulfill his promise. After all, Adrian had vowed to declare that it would be easy to develop TBS.

"Simply put, the most attractive part of this program is that anyone can have the opportunity to participate in it, and get through all the obstacles and eventually get rich rewards." In the media conference room, Adrian sat Crowder's right hand, leaning on the back of the chair, crossed his hands on the table and looked at the TBS executives looking at the folder in front of him.

TBS’ headquarters is in Atlanta, but Crowder specifically asked senior executives to come to Los Angeles for a meeting because he has something to do with it temporarily. Of course, Adrian knows that this is just a foreshadowing to relocate TBS to Los Angeles in the future, after all, Los Angeles is their base camp.

"Talk about your views, gentlemen and ladies." Adrian said this.

"Everyone can sign up to participate, so they can attract a lot of attention from the beginning." An executive immediately opened his mouth, and he can know from his thoughtful expression that his idea of ​​the program is in agreement.

"It's true, and the process is not too difficult. It gives people the feeling that I can do it if I change it to me." Another female executive said, "There are more people participating, people watching. It will also increase."

"The audience will substitute themselves into the participants, and will naturally choose to support a person who looks good. If this person wins the final victory, it may also attract the audience to participate, so that it will grow like a snowball. ."

"And the rewards seem generous, but if you can really get a high rating, it is not worth mentioning compared to the advertising fee."

With the words of the previous two executives as an introduction, others began to discuss together, and the meeting room became much more lively for a time. As for Adrian, after smiling at Claude, slowly drinking the pure water in front of him.

"Mr. Adrian, I have a question about..." A middle-aged man asked what raised his hand at this time, but was interrupted by Adrian before he finished speaking: "I think you might be wrong What's wrong, Mr. Baker, I'm only responsible for providing the idea, as well as some basic related information of this idea, the specific things must be completed by you personally."

The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned red, and some of him shyly withdrew his hand. He apparently remembered the person who provided the idea, the chairman of the media and their boss.

"Of course, I don’t mean to blame, Mr. Baker," Adrian continued. "What I want to say is that an excellent variety show that can attract audiences is not done by good ideas. You still need to work hard together, I hope you can unite and turn this idea called "Millionaire" into a perfect show"

Yes, the idea given by Adrian is the one that answers a few questions and wins 1 million TV programs. It was through the introduction of this show from the United Kingdom that the situation was barely maintained until 2000. I can imagine how popular this show was when it was broadcast. However, for this reason, the stunned seniors began to squeeze the profits from "Millionaire" to the greatest extent, so the life of the show came to an end after two or three years. Adrian, who is very clear about these, will naturally not make the same mistake. Although the life of the program will not be extended for a long time, don’t forget that there are many other ideas in his head.

The clap of applause rang in the meeting room, and the words that were said before Adrian were really sincere to cater to, at least they now think this show is valuable.

"I have to admit, Ed, your idea is very good, making full use of the weakness of human nature." After the meeting, Turner, who also participated in the meeting but never spoke, said to Adrian.

"Not enough, just a little, everyone likes to take advantage, doesn't it? Especially ordinary people," Adrian shrugged. "As long as they can see the hope of winning, they will inevitably rush, This is the same reason as buying a lottery ticket, but it is more intense, exciting and more enjoyable than the lottery ticket."

"Anyway, this is an excellent idea. Although it seems simple, but no one has had the same thing before you. You are indeed a genius, Ed." Turner said, slapping his shoulder.

British TV will not produce this show until next year, and this idea is of course unique.

"This is indeed a good idea, Ed, Ted is not a guy who praises others easily, I can't wait to see the effect." Claude said a little joke after Turner left, he today The performance of Bitner and those executives are much more bland, he has long known as the buddy of Adrian.

"Actually, I still have a lot of these ideas," Adrian shrugged carelessly. "It's nothing more than lowering the door of participation and increasing the reward of the winner. The specific operations may be different, but the essence is the same."

"The key is to know how to do it, such as answering questions by answering questions; and what kind of rewards are appropriate, such as a 1 million bonus. These are the main points of whether a show is popular." Said.

"Don’t be so greedy, Crow, I will naturally take it out when I should take it out." Adrian knew what he meant, and shook his head with a smile, "still make "Millionaire" first, after the signboard Let’s talk about it."

Will it inspire the planning departments of other broadcasters and cause many programs to appear in advance? Don't worry about that, as you will recall a bit, most of the popular programs are imported from European countries. This is not to say that these people lack inspiration. There are still some good variety shows in the United States, but most broadcasters focus on interests and rarely take risks. Even in Europe, most of these programs are produced by independent TV stations.

"Okay, let’s talk about things other than variety shows now." After looking at the empty meeting room, Adrian changed the subject, "Remember the plan we discussed before?"

"Of course," Claude smiled slightly, "Do you have any ideas for the talk show?"

"Come on, Crow, I am talking to you very seriously." Adrian rolled his eyes.

He never had any good ideas about the talk show. The talk show or talk show that is popular has very high demands on the host. The current contracted hosts of TBS host such shows as "Millionaire" No problem, it's no problem to host an ordinary talk show, but it's more difficult to make the talk show noticeable. At first, Adrian had already vaguely thought of something, but then disappeared without a trace. After not finding it for a few times, he gave up temporarily. He believes that since he is there, he will always remember it.

"Okay, okay, so you already have a TV series in mind?" Claude spread his hands.

"Yes, I already have it. There are just a few films that need to be prepared this time when I go back to Los Angeles. It just happened to confirm the TV series." Adrian nodded. "This is a special youth idol drama, the audience It may be a bit narrow, but it is in line with the current situation of TBS. In addition, the starring age may be a bit young."

"Oh--may be a little--" Claude said in a prolonged voice, and the expression on his face became a smile.

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

"Goodbye, mother," Sarah shouted loudly, waved at her mother at the door, and got into Adrian's car.

After looking at Adrian a little bit shyly, she suppressed her emotions and sat in the co-pilot position without saying anything. Adrian smiled slightly, waved to Roseland through the window, and then started the car and drove out.

Something came to Bosworth Films all the way. After driving into the parking lot and stopping in the corner, Adrian was about to speak. Sarah had already pounced around his neck and kissed his mouth. . Facing the sudden attack of the girl, Adrian was a little stunned at first, but then began to enjoy the girl's enthusiastic warm lips.

As the wheezing sound became more and more intense, Sarah not only did not converge, but instead crossed over and straddled Adrian, even more entangled with him. The body began to shake back and forth involuntarily, feeling that the friction Adrian under her was also holding her gently and pushing it upwards, and the atmosphere in the car became stronger and stronger.

Finally, the two separated, and Sarah gasped lightly, her face flushed, her eyes still blurred as she watched Adrian.

"I love you, Ed." She said softly, her soft voice with an inexplicable temptation.

"I love you too, baby." Adrian said seriously, looking at the shy but charming Sarah with compassionate eyes, and at the same time sighed in her heart, Huaichun's young girl really makes men impulsive.

"I haven't seen you for more than two weeks." the girl said with a bit of grudge, but she didn't hide her desire in her eyes.

Since having a relationship in a wooden house in a forest park, Sarah, who is new to personnel, has become more and more obsessed with Adrian. She usually maintains a beautiful and beautiful appearance in front of many people, but if you are alone with him in private , It will become completely different. Sexy, wild, a little wavy, but just right not to be annoying, Adrian likes it very much.

"I'm sorry," he kissed her lips, "I hope you like me to give you your birthday present."

Because of certain things, Sarah can’t go to Alabama like Monica and Julia, and Adrian is not good at her birthday party, so after the shooting of "Forrest Gump", the two of them It was divided, and I didn’t meet again until more than two weeks later, during which Sarah’s birthday gift was also sent by the Adrian trustee.

"I like it, I like it very much, Ed, I have never liked it like this." Sarah said softly.

Adrian's gift is a pebble necklace~IndoMTL.com~ is composed of several white crystal clear stones, very beautiful. In the eyes of others, this may just be an ordinary stone necklace, but it has an extraordinary meaning for Sarah.

"Unfortunately I bought it in the store," Adrian sighed. "Wait for time later, I will go to the creek in the forest park to look for it carefully, and then make a bracelet for you..."

Before the words were finished, Sarah closed her mouth again, and then there was another passionate obsession.

"Okay, Sarah, come here for the time being," Adrian hugged the girl, breathing a little hard. "We have something else today, remember? I said I would arrange a TV series for you."

"I know, Ed, but..." Sarah, who was riding on Adrian around his neck, said to her ears with a gasping voice, "I want you."

"Now? Here?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Sarah's face became more rosy, and it seemed to be dripping water. She seemed to hesitate, but she made a decision a few seconds later, and then whispered in excitement: "kme"
