King of Hollywood

v1 Chapter 166: I'll take you home

A long silence enveloped the office, and Adrian said nothing, but stared at the girl in front of her. Sarah worked hard to maintain her posture, even if the chest was undulating, even if the body was shaking more and more, and even if her face was getting whiter, she still stubbornly stood up against him, as if Everything has been ruled out.

"Big stars are roughly divided into two types." Adrian finally spoke up, not in a slow tone. "One is a celebrity star, most of whom rely on small-cost independent art films to polish their acting skills. I started, until one day I was watched by a director or producer, starred in a well-received box office movie, and then became a front-line popular actor; the other is a youth idol star, they can easily attract the majority The sight of people, especially the youth of the main consumers. With a very high popularity, there will be a lot of fans everywhere, but it is not easy to transform. "

"Of course, this is just a more general classification of my own. If necessary, I can immediately find a professional to explain it to you." Adrian gestured at Sarah, waiting for her response.

This is another accident. It seems that there are always accidents during this period, and the previous application letter is already the third one. Adrian did not expect the girl to come directly to her. Although it was just a sentence, the meaning was self-evident.

Sarah's time in the entertainment industry is not short, I believe that she also knows some things, but it is so daring and so open to come to Adrian, it is still surprising. You know, Adrian originally planned to raise her for a year and a half, and then slowly seduced her.

However, Sarah should have done so after careful consideration. You can see from the previous sentence "Mom didn't know she was here" and her various small actions, but what motivated her to do so?

"That type of celebrity makes more money?" Sarah asked bluntly, keeping her posture all the way through.

Adrian raised his eyebrows again: "It's almost the same, this depends on the commercial value of the star."

"That type of celebrity can make the most money in the shortest time?" Sarah asked again, but the tremolo of the voice became heavier, and the tremor of the body became more and more obvious. It seemed that the arms of the chair were holding on to the armrests of the chair. Can't help it.

"The second kind," Adrian replied immediately, "I said before that, as youth idol stars, they can easily attract the attention of those teenagers, and then turn these into adulthood. Although the popularity is not completely equivalent to business Value, but there is no commercial value without popularity. But since it is a youth idol, once the youth is gone, the popularity will definitely decline. Young people are the most favorite group of the new and the old. At that time, the image has been fixed to a range, and then you want to transform ... ... "

"Then the second one." Before he could finish, Sara's voice rang, with an unspeakable determination.

Adrian still closed his mouth. Actually, when she said "make the most money in the shortest time", he realized her choice, so he nodded after two seconds: "Okay , Second, I know. "

Sarah, who got the answer, couldn't support her anymore. She slumped on the chair like a discouraged ball. She covered her face with a long breath and then put her hand down. She always had bright eyes with decisive eyes. Dimmed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and there was a gleam of sadness and gloom on the pretty face.

"I want to make money. I want to make a lot of money. I want my mother to live in a big house. I don't think she is tired and can enjoy life comfortably ..." Sara murmured leaning on a chair, as if in Talking to Adrian was like self-justification and comfort. Godless eyes lost their focus and looked forward.

Adrian listened silently, he still knew something about Sarah's family situation. Her irresponsible father abandoned her and her mother when she was 6 years old. It was a big blow to Sarah, who was just emerging in the entertainment industry at that time. Since then, she has depended on her mother. She resisted almost half the burden of the family.

Because of this experience, Sarah values ​​her mother and her material, and is very independent and stubborn. Otherwise, she would not be so excited and resentful when he was robbed on Thanksgiving in 1990. Otherwise, she would not make her own claims. Came to Adrian's office. However, her experience is still a bit weak after all. How can I go directly to the producer's office to say this? If someone was sitting here, she would have been invited out.

Even if some things are on the bright side, even if everyone knows it well, the excuses they should still have are. Just like Drew and Adrian, they know each other that this is a deal, but once they talk to others, they only say that they talk and feel up and look right, so they go to bed.

This kind of thing is too common in Hollywood. For example, male and female guests stay in the lounge on the show, because they feel like they are performing a moment of passion. Of course, most of them are young people. So no one can say. what.

What's more, there are excuses, such as one-night stand such as dating, even people in the circle may not know who is dating with whom or is there a purpose. How can those who only look at media news understand what is in it?

Everything is hinting, only fools will hang those lips. Although Sarah was also hinting, she was too blunt and awkward, and if she was someone else, she would often think that there was any conspiracy in it.

Here, it is rare for an actor to sue a producer or director for sexual harassment, because that would be tantamount to declaring war against the entire Hollywood system. Otherwise, who else would undress in front of the camera? Whether this undress is art or something else. Therefore, for men and women who want to excel, even if they encounter it, pretend not to.

However, since there are very few, there are still some, usually some small actors who can't keep going will use this method to blackmail and leave Hollywood, and the media and film company bosses are also happy to take this opportunity to promote Hollywood Glorious, as long as their interests are not harmed.

The producers and directors involved will inevitably be unlucky. Although they will not completely ruin their reputation, they will keep a low profile for a long time. People in the circle will temporarily keep their distance from them, even if they do the same thing. Do less.

Most of the recruiters are second- and third-line producers or directors. Real big-name producers and directors are very cautious and very skilled in it, and small actors who want to make a fortune will not be stupid enough to target them. they.

If Adrian hadn't understood Sarah well enough, and had already planned, he would certainly not have agreed easily. Even so, there are still many doubts, for example, why she came to him like a rush.

"Drink some water." Adrian stood up and poured a glass of water for Sarah and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Sarah took it in a slightly obscure voice, her head hung low and she didn't dare to lift her. After some conversation, her courage seemed to have disappeared.

Adrian didn't say much, returned to his position and pressed the speakerphone, followed by a string of numbers.

Soon, a rough voice sounded over there: "Hey, who is looking for me?"

"James, it's me," Adrian answered as he looked at the phone, squinting at Sarah across from him. She froze for a while, then adjusted her sitting position slightly to reveal the look of listening.

"Hi Ed, why are you free to call me today?" James Cameron over there laughed.

"It's been more than half a year since you got the investment and you haven't switched on," Adrian said in a joking tone. "I'd like to know if you still want to direct this movie."

"Oh, of course, is everything ready, but you want to kick me away?" Cameron replied jokingly, "You know, Ed, this movie needs a lot of things to prepare, just with the Air Force It took a lot of time to get in touch with the fighters. "

"You can contact as you shoot," Adrian reminded.

"If you haven't talked about it when you need it?" Cameron asked back immediately, but he skipped the topic immediately, "Okay, Ed, everything you should have prepared is almost ready. Be sure to turn it on at the end of the month. You will get a wonderful movie. "

"I have no doubt about it, James, is it OK for the actors?" Adrian asked again.

"Yes, sign the contract right away, I have to admit, you are right, Jamie Lee Curtis is pretty good."

"What about the other one?"

"Who?"

"Sarah Michelle Gellar, playing Arnold's daughter."

"The girl with long brown hair? Oh, she is also good. It gives a strong and independent feeling, but she lacks the vivacity of a 14- or 5-year-old girl, so I list her as a spare ..."

"What should I say, James, I have recommended her twice."

"You mean ..."

"You should understand, isn't UU reading www.uukanshu.com? Besides, it is not the director's job to instruct the actors how to perform and let them make the most of the other side?"

"Okay, okay, I know, but I was severe at the scene."

"Of course, I don't think she will let you down."

After speaking, Adrian looked at Sarah, who was always listening, and the girl immediately woke up, first shrinking her neck subconsciously, then slightly raising her chest and straightening her body, and looked at him again.

"You won't let me or let him down, will you?" Adrian asked softly after pressing the speakerphone to hang up.

"Yes." Sarah nodded strongly, then trembled slightly at the thought, but still gathered the courage to open her mouth to say something.

But before she spoke, Adrian stood up: "Okay, you should go back. She would worry about hiding her mother out for so long. I'll send you back." ()
