King of Hollywood Chapter 3: “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “7 Deadly Sins”

"Sorry, we are late and hope not to delay too long." Adrian, who pushed in the door, said in an apologetic tone, Sarah was no different from behind him as usual.

"It's okay, we just chatted with Jos." Hudson, the head of the TV department, stood up immediately. Even if there were opinions, it was impossible to express it. Adrian was the boss. And this is the first time he is late, although the time is slightly longer, but who has not been late? It's better to leave it behind.

"This must be Joss, hello." Adrian walked straight to the one in front of Hudson, who seemed to be about 30 years old and stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Hello, Ed, this is José Wenden, I am very happy to see you." The other party is familiar, and did not show an impatient look because of waiting for a long time, but with Adrian Shake hands enthusiastically. But he is also an impatient person, and can’t wait to wait before Adrian sits firmly: "I heard that you want to adapt this movie into a TV series?"

"I thought Robert should have made it very clear." Adrian smiled at Hudson.

"Oh, yes, but..." Wenden paused for two minutes with a gesture, and then organized the next words in his head before continuing to ask, but he has changed the question: "You are right about this Movie version"

"The script is good," Adrian's smile is more intense, "but the director obviously did not understand the theme of the story, so it will be made into a comedy, which is a disaster."

"Oh? Why do you say that, Ed?" Although Wendeng tried his best to maintain the apparent calm, the hand that was made into a fist had already betrayed his true feelings.

"For a long time, in Hollywood horror movies, petite blondes have almost become the formula when they walk into the dark alleys and are killed, and your script is obviously intended to subvert this. What is more powerful than a The girl who kills the vampires who should have been killed by the men, and then saves the world is more eye-catching?" Adrian spread his hands.

Wendon lowered his head, sighed for a long while, and grabbed his head with a smile: "I know, you shouldn't show off in front of you, you are the most visionary in Hollywood... screenwriter, director and production People."

"Wow, it sounds like I should be very proud." Adrian laughed.

"To tell the truth." Wendeng followed him and laughed. "Well, I will take out the script as soon as possible..."

"Don’t worry, Jos," Adrian interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "Not only do I have to be the editor in charge of the script, I also want you to be the producer of the TV version of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

"Sorry, did I hear something wrong..." Wenden asked subconsciously for a long time, his mouth twitched, raised his hand meaninglessly and put it down, obviously shocked by the news Can't find directions.

"You heard it right, Jos, I want you to be the producer of this TV series." Adrian continued to talk about it all the time, "You know, the "Friends" we are making is hot, no more Many people produce new TV series, after all, we have just set foot in TV series production."

When he heard the phrase "no more hands can be drawn", Hudson raised his head in surprise and wanted to say something, but then awakened and swallowed the thing that came to his mouth.

"But...but I..." Wenden stammered, and he seemed to be a little ridiculous.

"Don’t worry, Jos, should you have relevant experience, right?" Adrian said indifferently, "And we can let others help. This is your work, of course it should be produced by you, Isn't it?"

The last sentence worked, Wenden finally calmed down, took a deep breath and nodded: "I have no reason to refuse, and I have no reason not to go all out, Ed, thank you."

"Very good," Adrian laughed. "Now I will introduce you to someone."

As he said, he beckoned Sarah, who had been sitting quietly from the beginning of the room, and waited until she came over before continuing to say to Wenden: "This is Sarah? Michelle? Gellar. , I think she is the best candidate for the TV series Buffy."

"She?" Wenden looked at the girl in amazement, and Sarah extended her hand generously: "Hello, Mr. Joss."

"Do you know how I thought of making "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" into a TV series?" Adrian continued with a smile next to him, "At that time, about two months ago, the company was preparing a new movie with a character I She thinks Sara is very suitable, so let her come to audition. But she didn't get the role in the end. When I comforted her, I chatted a few off-topics and learned that she has been practicing Taekwondo and has already got a blue ribbon."

"It is now a red belt." Sarah added in a narration.

"So fast?" Adrian raised her eyebrows in surprise. "It seems that it will not take long for you to get the black belt?"

"Early early, the systematic practice will take at least one year, and there are other restrictions, such as age, etiquette, and so on." Sarah shrugged.

"Okay, don't talk about this first." Adrian waved his hand and continued to speak to Wenden. "I was curious at that time, because few girls practiced taekwondo, and they could get the belt color. , So I deliberately went to the taekwondo hall where she practiced. The actual situation is quite surprising, I can't think she can achieve this point, especially when she jumps and splits her legs, it is very powerful, I don’t know why, I Suddenly thought of your movie."

"You mean...because Sarah practiced Taekwondo, you just thought...that movie will be adapted into a TV series?" Wenden asked incredulously.

"I know this sounds ridiculous, like a fantasy, but it is so." Adrian looked at him and said sincerely, "I don't know what's going on, so it popped out naturally, At that time, I knew that the role of Buffy was none other than Sarah. Then, because of a series of things, I have not contacted you until now to prepare for the preparation."

Wenden didn't speak anymore, and after a long thought, she looked at Sarah: "Can I ask you a few questions, Sarah?"

"Oh, of course, please." Sarah smiled and straightened her chest.

"Have you seen the movie "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?"

"No, Ed showed me the script you originally wrote. He thought it would help me better understand the story."

"Wow, it's amazing, so what do you think of Buffy."

The two of them talked like this. Adrian sat beside him silently, without any interference. He knew Wenden would not refuse, because his words were already clear. Even if Wenden really refuses because of this, it is not a big problem, although the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" can become a classic, and it is not related to the production of Joss Wenden who is good at describing stories related to mutants or aliens. But here, no one can be replaced.

Since Adrian can use different producers to produce "Friends", naturally "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" can also be produced. Of course, Wenden will not be so stupid. If he really refuses to face such excellent conditions, he must have gotten into his head.

After a few minutes, Wenden ended the conversation with Sarah and turned to look at Adrian: "I basically have no opinion, Ed. Of course, it would be better if Sarah was able to see her fist. ."

"No problem, when you start to choose a TV series, you will see it." Adrian said with a big laugh.

The preparatory work for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is thus settled. The specific things are to be discussed by Hudson and Wenden. Adrian then left the TV department and returned to his office, oh, Sarah.

"Do you think I starred in such a TV series about vampires?" The girl asked a little puzzled. She was sitting at the desk of Adrian at the moment, her legs were flirting and cute. However, she was wearing a denim skirt that had just reached her knees, and the swing of her legs was slightly larger, so that she could peep into the unobstructed spring inside.

"This is different from the previous vampire movies or TV shows, my dear," Adrian took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. "If this TV show is specifically classified, it should be counted as a campus youth idol vampire TV series, set action, comedy , The plot as a whole, not only has the life of ordinary high school students, but also has another life as a child of natural selection."

As he walked up to Sarah, his hands propped the table against her forehead: "Remember what I told you? I want to train you to be the best idol star, but now it’s just The first step."

Sarah in memory can become one of the few high-quality idol stars in the United States in the late 1990s. The role of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has played a large role. Although the ratings of this TV series are not as good as classic works like "Friends", the fixed audience is only a few million, but it has won a lot of praise, and it has driven many peripheral products, comics, novels, games, etc. among young people Has a very high popularity.

Because of the low investment and relatively stable audience ratings, Adrian chose it as the first TV series produced after the acquisition of TBS. After all, TBS can’t compare with other TV networks, and it needs to be step by step. Go up.

"Of course I remember." Sarah whispered, her eyes turning around, not knowing what she was thinking.

"That's right, so it's safe to play this role, it is to hone your acting skills," Adrian smiled and squeezed her chin, "Don't forget, I will prepare for you in the second half of the year What about a youth idol horror movie."

All TV stars, especially popular TV stars, are not easy to change. The six people in "Friends" will be considered successful by Jennifer Aniston. If you add a young idol The name is even more difficult. However, since Adrian is prepared for Sarah in this way, she naturally has corresponding countermeasures. She will never let her "repeat the old road". She is now her own woman.

"Okay, got it." Sarah said, pushing the forehead of Adrian hard. Not only did he not push him away, but instead he leaned back a few degrees, and his hands could not help supporting the desk. At the same time, the legs also clamped the waist of Adrian, and the bottom suddenly touched together.

"Hey, wasn't that enough before?" Adrian said half-jokingly and ridiculously.

Sarah’s face was slightly reddened, and she glared strangely at Adrian without a word. Although the space in the carriage is small, it does not have a taste and excitement. The intensity is no less intense than in the bedroom. Both of them are very happy, but they are not easy to deal with after the end, so they arrived at the TV department after a long delay.

"Oh, you seem to have forgotten this." Adrian said that he pulled out a white object from his pocket and smiled and shook it in front of Sarah. "Let's change it. The empty one is definitely uncomfortable." "

"Don't need it, staying in your pocket for so long." Sarah gave him a sip and his face became more ruddy.

At this moment, the knock on the door rang, and Sarah, who was startled, shrank her neck and shouted, pushing her to tears, hoping to jump off the table, but Adrian immediately grabbed her arm and faced the door. Shouted: "Please come in."

"Ed, they are already..." Charlize in OL uniform appeared in front of the two. When she saw the girl sitting on the table and the Adrian leaning forward on the table, she couldn't help but notice. The white **** in Adrian's hands frowned, but calmed down after two seconds, and said in the official tone: "They are already waiting for you, Ed, you still have up to ten minutes ."

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Adrian to defend himself, and turned and walked out, but he used a little more energy when closing the door, making a loud bang, which made the two people in the room have different expressions.

"Okay, I still have some things to do, so..." Adrian looked at Sara with some regrets. "And... I'm sorry, I may not be able to accompany you today."

"It's okay, I'll go back by myself." Sarah pulled the clothes of Adrian and said understandingly.

"Then this?" Adrian shook his white **** again.

"Keep it for yourself." Sarah jumped off her desk. "I just go out and find a supermarket to buy one."

"But...I think that if I did this, I would have a meta-collection habit." Adrian said with some care, but in exchange for Sarah's white eyes and grimace.

After a little tidying up, Sarah was ready to leave, but when she walked to the door she turned back.

"Ed," she looked at him, "you and Charlie...are you..."

Although she did not go on, Adrian already understood what she meant, and nodded immediately.

"I knew it." The girl shrugged her shoulders and instead put down the big rock in her heart.

"Know what?" Even Adrian couldn't help asking.

"Nothing," Sarah shook her head with a smile. "Just anyway..."

The bright eyes stared at him for a few seconds, and then the girl hugged him and closed her eyes against his chest for a long time. Adrian hugged her, patting her back gently, and said for a while: "Charlie's situation is a little different..."

"It's okay," Sarah interrupted, raising her head with a smile. "As long as I can hold you and lean on your chest. One day if I get tired, I will leave." ."

As he said, the girl kissed him on the mouth and turned and walked out. Standing for a few minutes, Adrian rubbed his lips, smiled, shook his head, and walked out of his office.

I walked down the hallway to the meeting room. As soon as I pushed the door in, I heard a slightly feminine voice telling a joke: "An English gentleman and a French woman were sharing a box on the train. The woman wanted to seduce this Gentleman, after she undressed and lay down, she complained of coldness. The gentleman gave her quilt, but she kept saying cold.'How can I help you?' asked the gentleman in frustration. .'When I was a child, my mother always used my body to keep me warm.'.'Miss, I can't help you. I can't jump off the train to find your mother?'"

His eloquence is quite good, imitating the frivolousness of a woman and the helplessness of a gentleman, which naturally attracted the laughter of several others. Although I haven't seen anyone yet, Adrian already knows who is telling the joke.

"Good joke." He walked to the long table in the meeting room and said with a smile.

"Hey, Ed." The first one to jump is naturally Dennis, and then the reaction is Morgan Freeman, followed by Tom Fisher, one of the heads of the production department, and his assistant. As for the most The other two important people seemed a bit cautious.

"Hello, Kevin, hello, David." After saying hello to Dennis, Adrian took their hands very enthusiastically, "Nice to meet you."

"Me too~IndoMTL.com~Mr. Adrian."

"I am also very happy to see you, sir."

The two replied while shaking hands.

"Just call me Ed, don't be so constrained, I don't think you are such a person, right?" Adrian said with a smile, a relaxed attitude suddenly let them all relax.

"Of course, Ed." The man on the left with a prominent forehead and slender eyes, almost thirty-five or six years old, nodded, and then returned to the state of telling a joke. The man on the right, wearing a baseball cap, a casual suit, and wearing a beard, who looked two or three years younger than him, nodded, giving a feeling of silence.

Adrian smiled slightly and exchanged glances with Dennis and Freeman, and then asked: "So, gentlemen, what do you think of the script of "The Seven Deadly Sins"?"

Okay, I don’t need to guess now. The thirty-five or six-year-old man with a soft voice has no one other than Kevin? The man wearing a baseball cap and a beard is naturally David Finch.
