Chapter 58 There Is Always a Change

"You seem to have a good time, Ed." After Adrian came to the bar and asked for a glass of whiskey, a familiar voice passed into the ear from the side.

"I know, you can't hide anything from your eyes, Charlie." Adrian smiled and raised a glass to his ex-girlfriend, wearing a black long-sleeved silk blouse plus knee-length skirt and tip. High-heeled women's shoes, sitting on a high chair with legs crossed, with a shallow smile, as charming as ever. As the head of the planning department, it was normal for her to appear at the party.

"If you want, we might as well find a room to talk about." He said as he reached Charlize and blinked ambiguously.

"I know you're great, Ed, I know you're strong, but ..." Charlize casually took out the martini's olive, chewed it slowly in his mouth, and his cheeks bulged. The turning look was very tempting, and she opened her mouth after a short while: "Let me think who else is here, maybe I can go to the room and talk?"

Adrian didn't answer, he smiled and glanced around, but unfortunately the crowd in the hall, no matter Catherine? Hegel or Alexis? Bleddle, he couldn't find anyone for a while. Looking back at the passion separated by half an hour before and after the two paragraphs, if it is to play with them, it must be more exciting. But then again, if you want to pull a woman to play with Alexis, is it Jennifer? Connery is the best. Adrian had originally persuaded Connery to take the idea of ​​"Gilmore Girl".

Realizing that his thoughts were a bit off, Adrian shook his head in a hurry, and there was an opportunity in the future. Whether it was Hegel or Alexis, it would be impossible to play once, so he took the cup and moved Topic: "By the way, congratulations, Charlie. The ratings for" American Idol "are excellent."

A series of reality shows and TV series released in the autumn season have achieved considerable success. Needless to say, "Two and a Half Men" is enough. It can be enough to explain that the previous episode can be shot in seven or eight seasons. The following screenwriters and The producers are also very good. Adrian only explained the points in detail. Although the content of the first season is not similar to his memory, it is still very funny and interesting, and the ratings naturally reach the expectations. s level.

"Double-sided Female Spy" is not much different from his expectations. It only had four or five million people when it premiered, but it rose to about seven million after a few episodes. This data may be different from the previous life, but as long as Keeping that level and making the second season is a sure thing.

The same is true of the reality show. "Apprentice" was greatly welcomed immediately after it was broadcast. There are not many commercial films and TV shows on the US side. There are only a few films such as "Wall Street" in movies. The TV series is completely The world of melodrama, law drama, police drama, doctor drama, as for the reality show is the first time. And the host of the show is still a real billionaire, plus the powerful "You are fired", the strong image almost broke out of the screen, naturally received by the audience, but almost two months soon Time, the average ratings have exceeded 10 million.

But this is not comparable to "American Idol". This show has been building momentum since the election. There are also countless people who have registered for the competition. Each participant also has a large number of relatives and friends to cheer, so it has aroused a strong response among ordinary people . And many details have already been perfected, Charlize has won for the golden broadcast on Wednesday, Simon? Cowell also repeatedly persuaded people to promise to serve as judges, so the ratings of the first episode fiercely jumped to 10 million, and within weeks, the average ratings have reached the 20 million mark.

In the Internet, "American Idol" has caused a lot of discussions, especially on the official website, the number of visits to this program section is several times that of other programs, and the forum is full of posts about who is better and who is worse And the relatives and friends of the finalists have also made many private websites or blogs to actively promote popularity. In the face of this high popularity, many media have also joined in to compete to report, and then let more curious people and families pay attention, so the cycle, the "American Idol" ratings are naturally getting higher and higher.

The qualifiers were just like this. I do n’t know how high the popularity will be until the finals next spring. As a curator, Charlize is also rising internally, although many people have speculated that the concept of the show came from Afghanistan. Drian, but she strives to eliminate objections, strives for good time for the show and supervises the production of the show from the beginning to the end. Even if some people are still not convinced, they are completely pressed down. This is why Adrienne Ann congratulates her for the reason.

"Thank you," Charlize said, holding his cup elegantly. "Thank you for your idea. Through this actual operation, I have understood a lot of things."

After speaking of a pause here, she said again, "So I have an idea, or an attempt, to play it on a daytime show."

"Oh? Come and listen." Adrian showed a look of interest, then noticed her unwilling look and then waved again: "Well, Charlie, is it not your idea to tell me? "

"You hate it, Ed, can't you be more direct?" Charlize said with a smile.

"I learned from you, dear Charlie." Adrian shrugged.

"As a gentleman, shouldn't there be some modesty?" Charlize narrowed his eyes.

"Well, come back to the original topic," Adrian raised his hands. "Tell me about your idea, maybe I can help you add something."

"It's just a very simple idea, because it's a day show, so it needs to be short and lean but at the same time it needs to be watched," Charlize said. "Recalling so many things that I deal with for you, I suddenly Thinking of why not make a whole show? Targeting Hollywood stars, I think many people would like to watch their surprises after being badly cursed, so stars have more exposure channels and properly show their own On the other side. Of course, the content of the whole person cannot be too much, and you must communicate with the other party in advance. "

Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was not a pretense. He was really surprised that Charlize had such a concept. If you think about it, you can recall that this is the "Star Trick" released by mtv in a few years, and the "Star Trick" was born from the Canadian whole show "Easy Smile", the difference is "Easy Smile" The whole person is aimed at passers-by, not stars. I don't know if "Easy Smile" has already started. I remember that it seems to be a program around 00. If not, it seems good to bring it.

This idea just flickered and was left behind. This kind of program doesn't need to be too much. Generally, it can only be broadcast during the day. There are so many TV shows and reality shows in the evening, and there are almost no skit-style funny shows. Competitiveness, Charlize also just said this is the idea of ​​a daytime show. In comparison, "Star Tricks" is undoubtedly more popular than "Easy Smile". As Charlize said, audiences like to see how stars look after they have been trimmed, and stars have more exposure channels and Take this opportunity to show your unusual side.

"Frankly speaking, this is a good idea. Charlie, I don't think I have anything to add. There is only one point. I can tell the participating stars about it. I only tell them there are surprises, but I ca n’t explain what surprises. Especially good, sooner or later, people will see through. "Adrian said after thinking about it.

It is impossible for such a show to communicate with the stars in advance. Only fools will believe that they are unknowing when they are mischievous. Otherwise, if they encounter some grumpy stars and just meet him again The fire, which triggered the violence, was a disaster both for the TV station and the celebrities themselves. Even some interview show stars will let the public relations talk with the producer, and then prepare some countermeasures when facing sensitive or embarrassing problems, let alone the whole person.

"I think they don't need acting at all in the later cuts," Charlize said with an eyebrow, and the look of smile was obviously raising 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?"

With a smile on Sarah's face, she obviously had a good time at the party. The long-sleeved coat with jeans and small boots was still so energetic.

"Certainly discuss how I and you and Charlie will spend the party after the party is over." Adrian immediately grinned, then got Sarah a big white eye.

"You came just right, Sarah," Charlize turned his head. "We are discussing a problem, and maybe you can give us some advice from an onlooker's point of view."

"What's the problem?" Sarah suddenly became interested.

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

"Well, from the perspective of the celebrity, it is best to fully communicate to avoid problems; but from the perspective of the audience and the TV show, it is best to keep some surprises in the communication part." After thinking about it for a long time, Sarah gave such a Neutral answer, and then did not wait for Charlize to speak with Adrian. As a result, the bartender handed out Jin Tongli and spit out his tongue: "But as far as I am concerned, I can completely accept the second way."

After she said that, she lowered her head and raised Jin Tangli, Charlize immediately showed an "I knew it" expression, and Adrian smiled happily.

"Hey, Sarah, you came here-hey, Adrian, you are here too." At this moment a young girl rushed over and grabbed Sarah, and then struck up when she found Adrian. Greeted and looked at Charlize in doubt.

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

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

"It's nothing, everyone was chatting happily, and suddenly found that Sarah was missing, so I came to find her." Amanda replied with a smile.

"I just came here for a cup of soup." Sarah sighed.

"Now that you have it, then go back with me now. Everyone wants to keep listening to your fun." Amanda said with a shake of her arm.

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

"I see." Sarah replied angrily, but did not see the flash of envy on Amanda's face.

"Also, Amanda," but Adrian yelled again, "Look at you lively, maybe there is a character you can try, a series of films about campus cheerleaders."

"Me?" Amanda didn't pretend to be surprised.

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

The movie he said is "Girlish Cheerleading", and Kirsten starred in the first one. It is not particularly popular but the audience is still quite large, so it can be made into a series of movies, instead of the latter ones as in previous lives. Only released DVDs. As Adrian just said, this is a good school youth movie, and cheerleader culture is deeply rooted in the United States. As long as the story has basic logic, then write articles on dance postures, thighs, and adolescent men and women relationships, and then control them. The cost of production, this kind of film will not worry about the audience, and Adrian also has a series of movies that can train the appropriate girl's acting skills, just like Amanda.

"It's a great idea," Charlize said after Sarah and Amanda left. Sarah's failure to see it did not mean she couldn't see it.

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

In fact, it is good to hear her ridicule occasionally, at least she really cares about herself. Adrian, who was walking in the hall with the crowd thinking, thought that because of his celibacy, from time to time he cast some sharp eyes around him, which suddenly made him want to return to the bar. At this moment, several figures in the corner of the right hand reflected into the eyelid, making him raise his eyebrows in surprise.

There are four women, four Asian women, Lin Zhiling, who played an important role in the latest season of "", and her agent Lin Xilei, then a middle-aged woman about forty years old, and a young The girl with black and beautiful hair looks very pure. Their facial features are very similar. Obviously they are a mother and daughter. The mother talked to Shuanglin generously, while her daughter stood side by side and hurriedly, saying very little.

Adrian narrowed his eyes, and he had been in the entertainment industry in the past. How could he not remember this mother and daughter, but how could they show up here? His eyes fell on Shuanglin again. Lin Xilei kept talking to her mother with a smile, but Lin Zhiling seemed perfunctory and absent-minded.

Recalling what the mother and daughter had heard in previous lives, 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, and Lin Zhiling smiled and held his arm for the first time.

"I see that you are talking to many people, so I didn't bother you," she said half-coquettishly.

Adrian raised his eyebrows inconceivably, and after a few words of comfort, turned his attention to the mother and daughter, showing an intriguing look: "What are these two?"

The mother was a little helpless, probably because she had never seen a westerner who was fluent in Mandarin. In this way, her daughter was even more timid. Fortunately, Lin Xilei coughed aside: "Ms. Liu, this is what I said to you, Mr. Adrian Kewell, the most well-known Hollywood director and media mogul, Ed, this is Ms. Liu Li, and this is her daughter, Liu Yuquan. "

really. Adrian said in his heart, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "I'm glad to meet you, Ms. Liu and Miss Liu."

"Um ... uh ... I'm also glad to meet you, Ah ... Mr. Adrian." Liu Li's eyes flashed with excitement. Although she was still a bit uncomfortable, she held Adrian's hand for the first time. .

"You ... Hello ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Mr. Adrian." Liu Yudi also reached out a little timidly, and after he shook it with him, quickly took it back, a look of innocence, Obviously, her mother has been thinking for her since she was a child, and she has been used to adversity. No wonder ...

"Just call me Adrian or Ed. Ms. Liu is from mainland China." Adrian kept smiling.

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

"I like China very much, so I have learned Chinese, but I haven't been able to do it," Adrian said immediately. "I speak fluently?"

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

"Thank you." Adrian said, looking at Lin Xilei, who explained it in a deliberate way: "The two-sided female spy starring Miss Hu Kaili needs some Chinese to play neighbors and friends, and some scouts fancy Yu Yan Then, after Ms. Liu Li persuaded Yu Yu to participate in the audition and got a good role, there are two episodes, both of which were recently broadcast, so when the party that Zhi Ling invited me to, I just casually Ms. Liu Li is invited to come with Yu Yan. "
