King of Hollywood Chapter 58: Always change

Chapter 58 always changes

"You seem to be having a good time, Ed." After Adrian came to the bar and asked for a glass of whiskey, a familiar voice was heard from the side.

"I knew that nothing could hide your eyes, Charlie." Adrian smiled and lifted a glass to his ex-secretary, a black long-sleeved silk top with a knee-length skirt and Pointed-toe high-heeled women's shoes, sitting on a high chair with her legs up, with a shallow, nonchalant smile, as always charming. As the head of the planning department, it would be normal for her to appear at a party.

"If you want, we might as well find a room to have a good chat." He said, blinking vaguely in front of Charlize.

"I know you are great, Ed, I also know that you are strong, but..." Charlize inadvertently took out the olives from Martini and put it in his mouth to chew slowly, cheeks The bulging and turning look was very tempting, and after a while she spoke again: "Let me think about who else is here, maybe I can go to the room and talk together?"

The Adrian didn't answer, he smiled and glanced around, but unfortunately the crowd in the hall, regardless of Catherine? Haiger or Alexis? Bledel, could not find him for a while. Recall that the two passions separated by half an hour before and after, if playing with the two of them, it will definitely be more exciting. But then again, if you want to get a woman to play with Alexis, or Jennifer? Connelly is the best. Adrian had the idea of ​​convincing Connelly to take over "Gilmer Girl".

I noticed that my thoughts were a little bit biased, and Adrian shook his head in a hurry. There will be opportunities in the future. Whether it is Hegel or Alexis, it is definitely impossible to play once, so he picked up the cup Divert the topic: "Oh, congratulations, Charlie, the ratings of "American Idol" are excellent."

A series of reality shows and TV series released in the autumn file have been quite successful. Needless to say, "Two and a Half Men", it can be enough to make seven or eight seasons in this episode of the previous life, and the following The screenwriters and producers are also very good. Adrian only talked about the main points in detail. Although the content of the first season is not similar to some of his memories, it is still very funny and interesting, and the ratings are naturally reached. The expected level.

The double-sided female spy is also not much different from his expectations. It was only four or five million when it was premiered, but after a few episodes, it rose to about seven million. This data may be different from the previous life. , But as long as this level is maintained, the production of the second season is a sure thing.

The same is true for reality shows. "Apprentice" was very popular as soon as it was aired. There are not many commercial movies and TV series in the United States. There are few movies such as "Wall Street" and TV series. It is completely dominated by sitcoms, legal dramas, police dramas, doctor dramas. As for reality TV shows, it is the first hit. And the host of the show is still a real billionaire, plus the full-hearted "You are fired", the strong image almost rushed out of the screen, and naturally received the audience's welcome, but it was almost two months In time, the average ratings have exceeded 10 million.

But this cannot be compared with "American Idol", this show has been gaining momentum since the sea elections, and there are countless people signing up for the contest. Each contestant also has a large number of relatives and friends to cheer, so it has caused ordinary people. Strong response. And many details have already been perfected, Charlize has won the golden broadcast time on Wednesday, Simon? Cowell also promised to serve as a judge under the repeated persuasion of the dispatched people, so the ratings of the first episode had fiercely jumped to 10 million, and the average ratings in a few weeks had reached the threshold of 20 million.

And on the Internet, "American Idol" has caused countless people to discuss, especially on the official website about the number of visits to this section of the program is many times more than other programs, the forum is also full of who is better who Bad posts, and the relatives and friends of the finalists have also made a lot of private websites or blogs to actively promote the popularity. Faced with this high popularity, many media have also joined in competing to report, and then attracted more curious people and families to look at it. In this way, the ratings of "American Idol" are naturally getting higher and higher.

Only in the qualifiers, it looks like this. By the spring finals next year, I don’t know how popular it will be. As a planner, Charlize is also rising internally, although many people speculate about the idea of ​​this show. From Adrian, but she strives to eliminate objections and strives for a good time for the program and supervises the production of the program from beginning to end. Even if some people are still not convinced, they are completely suppressed, which is why Adrian Will congratulate her for the reason.

"Thank you," Charlize also lifted his glass elegantly. "Thank you for the idea. Through this actual operation, I understand a lot of things."

She said that there was a pause here, and she said again: "So I have an idea, or a try, an attempt to play in the daytime program."

"Oh? Come and listen." Adrian showed an interested look, noticed her irrelevant look, and then waved her hand again: "Okay, Charlie, telling me to listen is not your idea. ?"

"You really hate it, Ed, can you not be so direct?" Charlize said with a smile.

"This is something I learned from you, dear Charlie." Adrian shrugged.

"As a gentleman, shouldn't there be some humility?" Charlize squinted.

"Okay, let's return to the original topic," Adrian raised his hands. "Tell me about your ideas, maybe I can help you add something."

“It’s just a very simple idea, because it’s a daytime program, so it’s short and lean but it’s worth watching,” Charlize said. “I think about so many things for you. , I suddenly thought why not make a whole person's show? With Hollywood stars as the object, I think many people will like to see their surprised appearance after being mistreated, so the stars have an additional exposure channel and appropriate display Out of the other side. Of course, the content of the whole person should not be too excessive, and you must communicate with the other party in advance."

Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise. This is not a pretense. He was really surprised. Charlize had such a concept. Just think about it for a while, it is recalled that this is the "Star Tricky" launched by mtv a few years later, and "Star Tricky" was born from the Canadian whole-person program "Easy Smile", the difference is "Easy Smile" The whole person is the passers-by who are not aware of it, not the star. I don't know if "Easy Smile" has been aired yet. I remember it seems to be a program of about 00 years. If not, it seems good to take it.

This idea is just left behind, and it’s not necessary to make too much of this kind of program. It can only be broadcast in the daytime. There are so many TV shows and reality shows at night. The show is almost uncompetitive, Charlize just said that this is the idea of ​​a daytime show. In comparison, "Star Tricky" is undoubtedly more popular than "Easy Smile". As Charlize said, the audience likes to see the star after it has been adjusted, and the stars have more exposure channels and Take this opportunity to show yourself something unusual.

"Frankly speaking, this is a good idea, Charlie, I don’t think I have anything to add, there is only one point, you can tell the participating stars a little bit, only tell them there are surprises, but they can’t explain what the surprise is. Otherwise, unless the acting is particularly good, sooner or later it will make people see through." Adrian said after thinking about it.

It is impossible for such a program to communicate with the stars in advance, only fools will believe that they are unaware when they are mistreated, otherwise, if they meet some grumpy stars and happen to meet again When he was on fire, the violent incident was a disaster for both the TV station and the star himself. Even some talk show stars will let the public relations negotiate with the producer, and then prepare some countermeasures when facing sensitive or embarrassing problems, not to mention the whole person.

"I think that in the later cut, they don't need acting at all." Charlize said with a raised eyebrow, the smiley look was obviously lifting the bar.

Adrian rolled his eyes, coughed and was about to speak. A figure suddenly sat down next to Charlize: "Hi, what are you talking about?"

Sarah’s smile, obviously, had a good time at the party. The long-sleeved jacket plus jeans and small leather boots are still so energetic.

"Of course it's a discussion about how you and I and Charlie will spend the time after the party is over." Adrian immediately smirked and got Sarah's big eyes.

"You came just right, Sarah," Charlize turned his head, "We are discussing a problem, maybe you can give us some opinions from the perspective of bystanders."

"What's the problem?" Sarah suddenly got excited.

Charlize briefly described his ideas and the opinions of Adrian, and then spread his hands: "As a very popular star, do you think it is better to communicate in advance or only part of it?"

"Well, from the star's point of view, it is best to communicate completely to avoid problems; but from the perspective of the audience and TV programs, it is best to keep a certain surprise in the communication part." After thinking about it for a long time, Sarah gave After giving such a neutral answer, and not waiting for Charlize to speak to Adrian, the bartender handed out the gold tonic and threw out his tongue: "But personally, I fully accept the second way."

After she finished, she lowered her head to squeeze Jin Tangli, Charlize immediately showed a "I know" expression, and Adrian laughed with pride.

"Hey, Sarah, it turns out that you are here--Hey, Adrian, you are here." Then a girl rushed over and grabbed Sarah, and then greeted her when she found Adrian And looked at Charlize in doubt.

"This is Charlie, Charlize? Theron, Charlie, this is Amanda, Amanda? Seyfried." Sarah quickly introduced.

The two shook hands immediately, then Charlize looked at Adrian, a meaningful look flashed in his eyes. Adrian, pretending not to see anything, smiled and asked Amanda: "What makes you chase Sarah here?"

"It's nothing. Everyone was having a good conversation, and suddenly I found Sarah gone, so I came over to find her." Amanda replied with a grin.

"I just want to get a cup of gin and tonic here." Sarah sighed.

"Since it's already requested, it's better to go back with me now. Everyone wants to continue listening to your anecdotes." Amanda said shaking her arm.

"Okay, okay." Sarah shook her head and gave Adrian an apologetic look. Adrian shrugged and shouted again because of the thought: "Wait, Sarah, you should have read the script? Remember to tell me your feelings in the past few days. I'll prepare them for preparation."

"Got it." Sarah replied angrily without seeing the fleeting envy of Amanda's face.

"Also, Amanda," but Adrian immediately called again, "Look at your lively appearance, maybe there is a character you can try, a series of movies about campus cheerleaders."

"Me?" Amanda's surprise look was not pretended.

"Of course, this is a campus youth movie, specially prepared for young actors, but don't think that it is easy to get it. The necessary homework is still to be done." Adrian said with a chuckle.

The movie he said is "Beautiful Girl Cheerleading Team", Kirsten starred in the first one, which is not particularly popular but still has a large audience, so it can be made into a series of movies, rather than the same as the previous life. Only the dvds were released in the later ones. As Adrian just said, this is a good campus youth movie, and cheerleader culture is deeply rooted in the United States, as long as the story has basic logic, then make good articles on dance poses, thighs, and the relationship between men and women in adolescence, and then control the production. Cost, this kind of movie does not worry about no audience, and Adrian also has a series of movies that can cultivate the acting skills of suitable girls, just like Amanda.

"It's a great idea." Charlize said after Sarah and Amanda left. Sarah didn't see that it didn't mean she couldn't see it.

Adrian laughed twice, drank the rest of the whiskey, then left the bar, and if he stayed again, God knew what words she would invent to ridicule herself. Charlize knew that some things could not be changed, but this did not prevent her from using the sharp words to describe him.

Actually, it’s good to hear her sarcasm occasionally, at least she really cares about herself. Adrian, who was crowded with people in the hall, thought that because of his celibacy, some sharp eyes were thrown around from time to time, making him suddenly have the urge to return to the bar. At this moment, several figures in the corner of the right hand projected into the eyelids, causing him to raise his eyebrows in surprise.

That is four women, four Asian women, Lin Zhiling, who played an important role in the latest season of "", and her agent Lin Xilei, and then a middle-aged woman about 40 years old, and A young girl with very dark and long hair looks very pure. Their facial features are very similar, obviously a pair of mother and daughter, the mother talked with Shuanglin generously, and the daughter stood next to him shyly and embarrassedly, hardly saying much.

Adrian narrowed its eyes and spent time in the entertainment industry anyway, how could it not be possible to impress the mother and daughter, but how could they appear here? His eyes fell on Shuanglin again. Lin Xilei kept talking with his mother with a smile, but Lin Zhiling seemed perfunctory and absent-minded.

Recalling what I heard about this pair of mothers and daughters in my previous life, Adrian was suddenly full of interest. After thinking a little, he walked a few steps and asked directly in Chinese: "Hey, two ladies, you are here."

"Hi, Ed." Lin Zhiling and Lin Xilei replied in unison. Lin Zhiling smiled and held his arm for the first time.

"I think you are talking to many people, so I didn't bother you." She said half-coquettishly.

Adrian raised his eyebrows slightly imperceptibly, and after a few words of comfort, he turned his attention to the mother and daughter who showed an interesting look: "Which of these two are?"

My mother was somewhat at a loss, probably she had never seen a Westerner who was so fluent in Mandarin. In this way, her daughter became more timid. Fortunately, Lin Xilei coughed beside her: "Ms. Liu, this is what I said to you Ever, the most famous Hollywood director and media mogul Adrian? Mr. Kewell-Ed, this is Ms. Liu Li, this is her daughter Liu Yufei."

Sure enough. Adrian said in his heart, smiling and extending his hand: "It's nice to meet you, Ms. Liu and Miss Liu."

"Um...um...I am also very happy to meet you, Ah...Mr. Adrian." Liu Li's eyes flashed with excitement. Although still a little uncomfortable, he held Adrian's hand for the first time.

"You...Hello~IndoMTL.com~Mr. Adrian." Liu Yufei also stretched out his hand timidly, and shoved it back quickly after he shook it, an unpretentious look, obviously Since childhood, most of her mother is taking the idea for her, has been accustomed to rebellion, no wonder...

"Just call me Adrian or Ed, Ms. Liu is from mainland China." Adrian smiled.

"Um... yes." Liu Li's face changed slightly.

"I like China very much, so I have learned Chinese, but unfortunately I haven't been able to." Adrian said immediately, "Am I fluent?"

"Of course, it is better than many Chinese people." Liu Li's face improved a lot in one sentence, and he immediately said in compliment.

"Thank you." Adrian said and looked at Lin Xilei, who explained it intentionally: "The double-sided female spy" starring Miss Kelly Hu needs some Chinese to play neighbors and friends. Some scouts caught the rain Fei, and then under the persuasion of Ms. Liu Li, Yu Fei participated in the audition and got a good role. There are two episodes of the content, which are in the recently broadcast content, so when Zhiling invited me to the party, I also Just invite Ms. Liu Li and Yu Fei to come together."
