King of Hollywood

"I don't understand, Rebecca, why do you think this script is suitable for me?" Julia, who was looking at the street scene outside the car window, suddenly turned around and asked her agent, "I don't think this story is very good."

"Because Mr. Adrian is right, you really need a romantic light comedy with a good box office now," Rebecca raised her head and replied, "Although those people are not as mean as before, the bad words are still the same. There are quite a few, and you should fight back instead of just burying your head. Of course, it takes a chance, and here's a good chance, you've read the script, and it's almost in the same vein as your previous characters, British style love Comedy is also very popular in the United States, why not give it a try? You also know that although Adrian is quite controversial now, the scripts he likes have almost never failed.”

"I know, of course I know, it's just..." Julia gestured a few times but didn't continue.

She couldn't help looking out of the car again, and after a few minutes, she noticed that the window papered glass reflected her own appearance, although it was vague, but there seemed to be something wrong, Julia involuntarily reached out and brushed her temples.

After seeing the hell, she immediately reacted and sighed in her heart. She thought that she had adjusted her mentality after a few months, but she didn't expect a simple invitation to stir her up again.

"I have a role I would like to invite you to play. If we have time, let's talk about it, Julia?" Although he only said a few words on the phone, his voice was as gentle and hearty as ever, making the People can't help but feel good about him, and want to chat with him a few more words.

At this moment, Julia suddenly thought of a few words on the note on the last page of the mailed script: "I set up a character based on the images you have acted in, and I hope you will like it."

Well, to be honest, although she doesn't like British humor very much, she still likes the story and the characters. If it had been another director's invitation, she might have already agreed.

Julia smiled bitterly in her heart, because of her contradictory mentality. Now it's no longer the girlfriend's problem. In the past few months, she has somewhat known something related to Adrian. Although it is not very detailed, she can figure out what happened with her knees. This is Hollywood, he is not only talented but also the boss of a film company, it is very normal for this kind of thing to happen.

Julia didn't want to get herself involved, but... no matter how many times she told herself to treat herself normally, she still tidied herself up when she went out today, and even sprayed on Chanel No. 19 perfume.

Forget it, don't worry about these things, go back when the talk is over, as for whether it will continue or not, let's talk about it later. Julia said to herself comfortingly in her heart.

The car quickly arrived at the private club in the Pasadena area of ​​Los Angeles. After getting out of the car and entering the club, led by the waiter, Julia and her manager Rebecca quickly came to the bright and transparent reception hall.

"Hi, Julie." Adrian, who was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, spotted them immediately and got up to say hello.

"Hi, Ed." Julia walked over, holding out her hand reservedly while maintaining a steady state of mind.

"Long time no see, you have become even more beautiful." Adrian said in admiration, his eyes full of appreciation.

Today, Julia is wearing a beige mid-short skirt suit, her curly hair is coiled behind her head, and her fair neck is exposed, giving people a capable feeling and the charm of a professional woman.

He never hides his feelings for me. This idea suddenly popped up in Julia's mind, but she immediately stopped her thoughts and smiled at Adrian: "Long time no see, you have become more noticeable."

"As a director, it's not a good thing to get so much attention." Adrian shrugged, shook hands with Rebecca again, and then made a gesture of invitation: "Let's sit down and talk."

After ordering drinks and snacks, the three exchanged a few pleasantries before getting into the main topic. At this time, Rebecca and Adrian were basically talking. From Julia's point of view, she raised some questions related to the script and the movie. An excellent and conscientious agent will put the interests of his clients first. Adrian, who had been prepared for a long time, naturally answered one by one. Although some answers were not satisfactory to the other party, Rebecca did not hold on to them. After confirming the cooperation intention, professionals will naturally come to discuss these matters with her in detail. .

Julia was listening to their conversation absent-mindedly, stirring the coffee in front of her with a spoon, not knowing what she was thinking. Occasionally, she would focus on Adrian, but then quickly moved away.

"Well, I don't have any questions to ask for now." Rebecca finally finished talking with Adrian, and then turned to look at Julia beside her: "Julie?"

"Ah? Oh, that..." The absent-minded Julia finally came back to her senses. The scene in front of her was a little awkward, and she blurted out without thinking, "Why do you want to invite me to play the leading role, Ed?"

Rebecca next to her couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and reached out to cover her forehead. Julia immediately came to her senses, smiled a little embarrassedly, and was about to say something to make amends, but Adrian waved his hand.

"Although what I said to Rebecca is that I will invite you to play because I think this role is suitable for you," Adrian's tone was very steady, which made Julia feel a little relieved and a little unusual.

"But at this moment, what I want to say is that I created this character specially for you." He looked at her eyes and said earnestly without blinking.

Julia was stunned for a few minutes, she opened her mouth as if she wanted something, but she didn't say anything. Rebecca next to him obviously felt something, looked at the two of them separately, and then stood up: "Sorry, I'm sorry, please talk slowly."

As he spoke, he smiled at Julia, grabbed his bag and left the living room. Julia watched her disappear at the door before turning her eyes around, looking at Adrian with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Write it just for me?" Julia said in a teasing tone to keep herself calm.

"I'm not lying," Adrian spread his hands, looking very frank, "This character was originally designed as a woman who doesn't live very well and likes to deal with rich men, so that the story will be more interesting. Conflict. But I don't like this character very much. After several revisions, I don't know why I suddenly thought of those characters you played, so I asked myself why I can't create an independent woman? And the story conflict will not How much was reduced. After revising a few times according to this idea, I simply added your image in the movie, and the inspiration increased a lot, and finally I got this character.”

Hearing this, Julia couldn't help but lower her head, and reached out to pinch the bridge of her nose to cover up her fluster.

"Although I am not in charge of writing a specific story, I have always been supervised, and this character has always been shaped according to my wishes." Adrian said, holding Julia's other hand on the table , "If you refuse, I will be very sad. You know, I secretly asked you out from London back to Los Angeles."

Julia twitched her hand slightly but not too hard. She gave Adrian a sneaky look, and asked casually, "Secretly?"

"Yeah, you know, I've been paid attention to by reporters all this time, and I was annoyed enough by them when I was in London. I don't want to go back to Los Angeles." Adrian said with a sigh, and all his depression was written in face.

Julia couldn't help but chuckled. For some reason, she knew what Adrian was talking about, but she couldn't help thinking about the word "secretly" elsewhere.

"Julie?" Adrian called out remindingly at this moment.

"Ah? Oh, sorry, I was distracted again." Julia smiled concealedly, and finally withdrew her hand, "Since you've said that, I obviously can't refuse."

"That's great," Adrian showed a happy expression, "So can I invite you to dinner tonight?"

"This..." Julia's heart tightened suddenly, and she subconsciously rejected him: "Sorry, I have a date tonight."

"Is that so? What a pity." Adrian showed a disappointed expression without concealing it.

"Maybe, I have time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Julia couldn't help but said again, and she regretted it as soon as she said it, but before she could speak, Adrian's surprised voice sounded: "That's great , there will be a game at Anderha Hockey Arena the day after tomorrow, the Los Angeles Kings will play against the Detroit Red Wings, maybe you would like to watch it live with me?"

Julia was stunned for a moment, and seeing the other party's expression was a little half-smile, she immediately realized that she had been duped, and was a little annoyed, but also had an indescribable feeling.

"Well, if you can get a ticket," she said, a little provocatively, it's not easy to get tickets for an upcoming game, and besides, didn't you sneak back to Los Angeles?

But Julia was quickly disappointed, and Adrian waved his hand indifferently: "Don't worry, it's not difficult to get two tickets for the ice hockey game, just a phone call away, and I'll have them delivered directly to my home of."

Julia hated it a little bit, and based on this, it is absolutely certain that Adrian had planned it.

"So be it." She nodded and stood up, "We'll see you the day after tomorrow."

"I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow, if you'd like to tell me the address." Adrian stood up and said with a smile.

Julia opened her mouth to say it, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it back: "Call me, you have my number, don't you?"

"I thought it would be better for you to tell me yourself." Adrian shook his head, with a hint of complaint in his tone.

Julia turned a deaf ear and walked quickly to the door of the living room. Isn't it just a game, there will be no problem. ()
