King of Hollywood

Chapter 188 April Trivia

Adrian often came here. Of course, most of the time it was for Charlize. From the very beginning, he did not shy away from his intimate relationship with her. After all, Charlize is not a star now. But today he came here for business. Although most of the new programs start broadcasting in September every year, they are not completely fixed. In many cases, there are also new dramas released in March and April.

At present, several TV dramas with good ratings are coming to an end, and several new TV dramas must be added, such as "Doctor House", which was started immediately after meeting Hugh Laurie at Rachel Harwood's party ; or "Battlestar Galactica", which is about to open up the Chinese market, with Gao Yuanyuan playing an important role; After the hit of "Hero", a new idea of ​​a science fiction drama - "Lost" came out of a sudden inspiration!

Although Adrian knew early on that Abrams, who was in charge of producing "Double Agent", also produced the sci-fi drama "Lost", he never thought that this TV series would appear in this way in this life, God Witness, "Heroes" and "Lost" are two completely different types of sci-fi TV shows, how did Abrams relate to the past?

However, except for "Doctor House", the two sci-fi dramas will not be broadcast until the second half of the year, because the production investment is relatively large, so the preparation time is relatively long, and he does not intend to hand over "Lost" to the airing of CBS. Should be a good idea. Yes, the sci-fi drama "Lost" was quite hot when it came out. The price offered by advertisers is also one of the best, and the cost of production is also quite high. If you only rely on copyright fees, you will definitely not earn as much as advertising costs.

But so what? With the support of Adrian, there is no shortage of profits now. Instead of digesting it by yourself and adding a little light to the dazzling halo, it is better to sell it to CBS. Anyway, what is needed now is sharing, just like broadcasting "Super Heroes", cooperating with the media can get a lot of benefits.

It is also for this reason. In addition to TV dramas, there are also many reality shows that are about to start preparations, such as "Hell's Kitchen" that came to Gao Yuanyuan's mind after mentioning "A Bite of China" during her trip to mainland China last year. This is also a good reality show. It invites a kitchen with a bad temper but top skills to train a group of rookies. It is very interesting. The ratings may not be comparable to those popular reality shows, but it is also very good. And very stable.

When it comes to this, Charlize must be mentioned. Facts have proved that those who are talented and good at learning can radiate dazzling brilliance as long as they are given a chance. This is true whether it is Kelly Lin, Ivanka or Charlize, except for the "American Idol" that was originally intended to give Charlize a solid position. At present, several reality shows with good ratings are planned by her, such as the just announced "Who Will Marry a Millionaire" that deceived countless people.

If this program still has Adrian's guidance and encouragement, but the upcoming preparations are planned by Charlize from beginning to end. He hadn't heard anything beforehand.

"It's actually very simple. Dancers have skills, and stars have popularity. When they are together, when dancers teach stars to dance on camera and let the public judge, it will definitely produce wonderful chemical effects. With this idea Afterwards, I asked people to conduct a market survey, and random sampling showed that 70% to 80% of people were very interested, so we began to further improve..." When talking about this, Charlize said.

Isn't this "Dancing With the Stars"? The only reality show that could be done in the previous life was actually planned by Charlize. I really don't know if it should be called luck or God's will?

"Excellent," Adrian said in admiration after listening. "I said, you're going to make your mark, it's fantastic."

"While you're saying this...can you take your hand away from my skirt?" Charlize, who was sitting on his lap with her arms around his neck in the planning director's office, gritted her teeth, "Again In ten minutes, I'm hosting a planning meeting and you want to tell them, did you just fuck me in the office?"

"That's your business, dear." Adrian replied with a smile, and the movements of his fingers sped up for a few minutes.

Charlize had to take a few big breaths to control her reaction, but how could Adrian, who was already familiar with her, give her this opportunity, and immediately kissed her elegant gooseneck.

"Damn it, I knew it, come on, you bastard!" Charlize hissed, stood up and turned around, and then rode on Adrian.

Every time Adrian comes, such things will never be missing. In his words: Who makes you more beautiful, more temperamental, and more attractive.

Of course, Charlize ruthlessly stripped off his "hypocritical" appearance every time: "You just think it's exciting, you just think it's conquered me, oh, yes, you also add the temptation of a uniform casually. "

But, after all, she is very cooperative every time, yes, no matter struggling, pushing or sarcasm, it is all cooperation - in the end, he succeeded, didn't he?

"You're wonderful, honey," said Adrian, who put his arms around Charlize, who was tidying her clothes, from behind, and kissed her on the nape of her neck. You held the position of vice president, but you declined, why?"

"It's too fast." Charlize, who had packed up, looked back, as capable and glamorous as ever, "I have only been the department head for more than two years, and although I have done a good job, I was suddenly promoted to vice president. The position will make many people feel dissatisfied in private, and the employees will also make irresponsible remarks.”

"Do you care what other people think?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"The position is different. When considering other people's feelings, you must consider it. It is not an IT company. It is not so young, and you should have a lot of qualifications," Charlize said frankly. "Instead of risking promotion, it is better to think of The planning department is running well, and it will not be too late to cultivate enough word-of-mouth and manpower."

"Well, everything is up to you." Adrian smiled and raised his hands, very satisfied with Charlize's attitude.

"Then, I'm going to the meeting, you can do what you want." Charlize said and walked out. But after a few steps, he turned back, and asked in a hesitant tone, "Are you sure I don't look like...just now..."

"No, no, my dear, not at all." Adrian suddenly laughed.

In fact, it's no big deal for Charlize to be promoted to vice president. As long as Adrian supports her as always, there is no need to worry. Besides, her roots are not here. Charlize fits in well with the office culture and does a great job with her relationships. Fully capable of this. However, her worries were not groundless, and it was a good way to act steadily, and she did such a good job, there was no need for Adrian to interfere too much.

That's about it, the reality shows are naturally on the air, and in a few years the TV dramas on the public channels will start to compete with the cable channels. But reality shows can always have good ratings, and having some excellent reality shows is enough to keep the advantage.

Time slipped into April without knowing it, and Adrian began to relax again, and the debate about the Oscars began to fade away. No matter how much you complain about Scorsese, the Academy of Film will not let Sophia win the award. The best director was handed over to Scorsese again. On the company side, Claude is in charge of operations. In terms of movies, everything that needs to be explained in the later stage of "La Vie en Rose" has already been explained. For the time being, it is not necessary for him to be in the studio all the time to watch this, but "The Matrix 3" and "Lord of the Rings 2" are scheduled to be released at the end of this year. "It was almost finished early.

Originally, he had plans to go to East Asia, but after April, the United States issued serious warnings at home, unless it was not necessary. Don't go to Guangdong or Hong Kong to visit, so I had to change it to the second half of the year. On the other hand, Gao Yuanyuan, after collecting some information through the channels here, called home three or two days ago to confirm that her parents were safe, and was very worried.

Since I can't go, I should spend more time with my wife and daughter, not to mention Lily's troublesome little troublemaker, and Diva and Juliet have also begun to develop in this direction. However, they are better than their older sisters. Mary and Eleanor still have their own characteristics, one likes to gnaw and the other talks nonsense.

As for Patricia, who was just born, the little guy looks a little dull, and his biggest hobby all day is to look around with his eyes open, sleep when tired, and continue to look when he wakes up. Much, except in father's arms.

Well, let me do it. "When Papa was crying in his father's arms again and his mother was away, Zeta Jones smiled and took her over. After a while, the little guy fell asleep.

"She's really cute." After putting Papa into the baby cradle, Zeta Jones stared at her little face for a while before sighing.

Although she and Adrian left the room immediately and handed the little guy over to the nanny, the expression of reluctance on her face was very obvious.

"Yeah, very cute." Adrian, who saw it in his eyes, complied with the sentence, but did not continue.

After a moment of silence, they all came to the living room, and Zeta Jones with drooping eyelids spoke again: "Thank you, Ed, although... I'm still very... happy, very happy."

"As long as you are happy, I like to see your smile, this is what I should do," Adrian smiled slightly, and then added, "Besides, this is our contract."

Zeta Jones's smile was a little stiff, he turned his head and took a deep breath before turning around and saying: "Speaking of... you have fulfilled our contract, then... if I leave..."

"Who have I fulfilled?" Adrian smiled meaningfully. "Four works with a box office of over 100 million in North America, and one best supporting actress, right? There is still one work with a box office of over 100 million in North America."

The girl froze for a moment, she probably didn't expect him to speak like this, and suddenly became a little stuttering: "But...but..."

"The 007 series has nothing to do with me, but "X-Men", you are just one of the supporting roles." Adrian said leisurely.

After another moment of silence, Zeta Jones finally came to her senses, she rolled her eyes and wanted to speak. But he didn't know what to say, he told her clearly that this movie with a box office of over 100 million in North America would always be owed. Even if he accidentally arranges one in the future, he still has enough excuses to count it out, hateful bastard!

However, although Zeta Jones yelled in his heart, he was inexplicably relieved, and after staring at him for a long while, he withdrew his gaze.

"Then..." She bit her lip, as if she had made up her mind. "Give me a child."

"No problem, if that's your wish." Adrian chuckled lightly, with an indescribable cunning in his smile.

In the end, she still made the choice he wanted to see. This is not to say that Adrian was exhaustive. He just drew a frame and tried his best to pull the other party into the frame. Naturally, every move would be predicted by him . This is true in career, and it is also true in women. It's just that Claude is needed on the career side, and uncles and godfathers are needed to help it, but the women's side is completely arranged by him.

"Then..." Zeta Jones immediately reached out to grab him, and the coquettishness in the corner of his eyes flowed out very naturally.

"Julie will be back soon." Adrian was slightly surprised by her action.

"It's okay, we still have at least 20 minutes. Otherwise, her mouth will take away the opportunity again tonight." Zeta Jones said with raised eyebrows.

Adrian couldn't help laughing, but he still didn't agree: "Don't worry, Kate, it's not the time yet."

"What bad idea do you have?" Zeta Jones narrowed his eyes.

"It's a very, very bad idea, are you willing to try it?" Adrian looked at her with a smirk.

This somewhat alarmed Zeta Jones. Since he talks like this, I'm afraid it's really not a good thing, even if he won't harm himself, he will definitely make her hard. But, since I said that just now, it doesn't matter how bad it is

"No problem," she replied.

Not just Zeta-Jones. The same is true for Gwyneth, who originally planned to start making humans after she won the Oscar. Adrian postponed the matter on the grounds that "a bad idea requires her participation". As for what it is, I don’t need to say more. There are many ideas in this awards ceremony that have not been implemented due to various reasons. How can I not make up for it? It’s just that the temperature is still a little low, so let’s wait.

After this episode, Adrian went to London again and promised little Emma to attend her birthday party. Originally, he planned to take little Emma with him. But "Bridge to Fairyland" unfortunately started filming, so we can't ask the heroine to ask for leave right after the filming starts? So I had to give up the idea.

Little Emma was still very happy. Although her little follower didn't come and no one could bully her, Adrian's presence was enough. So even though she kept her distance from him for a long time and blew out the candles on the cake, she couldn't help but hugged Adrian in public and gave him a big kiss on the face.

To be honest, watching her face change from immature to green, and then began to show signs of maturity, Adrian was also full of emotion, but he didn't show it on his face. He had experienced the precocity of little Emma's mind.

Now that she's in London, Liu Yufei naturally wants to go there, and threesomes are almost becoming the norm. In addition, it is necessary to accompany Kayla, who was bedridden due to a cold and failed to attend the Oscars, to go shopping. You know, in addition to Depp's best actor, "Pirates of the Caribbean" has several technical nominations, and if It's not that "Chicago" is more likely to win the award. Weinstein will definitely take the opportunity of "Lord of the Rings" to set off a fantasy movie boom and strive for a best movie nomination for "Pirates of the Caribbean", so Keira should have appeared in At the awards ceremony.

"Actually, I'm not very sorry. After watching the live broadcast, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Besides, there is no red carpet to go." She didn't seem to care much, but it made her happier that Adrian came to see her.

Thinking about it, in her previous life, she was able to say that Oscar was a dog show, but now she probably can't, Adrian has somewhat adjusted her character, and she also used her paranoia to other places. It's okay to say this kind of thing occasionally, and others will just laugh it off, but if you say it too much and make people bored, then nominate it for a lifetime.

There are still many scattered things in April. For example, Britney Spears will release a new single, Christina has also shifted from releasing an album to a single, and her music documentary will also be released. Avril Lavigne's second album released last year sold well, and her world concert was also officially launched, so that Britney also wanted to hold it again. Because of maintaining her exposure rate, her popularity has always been maintained at a high level, and her university studies do not hinder this.

As for Taylor, well, he is currently studying very seriously, and he is constantly developing. He is growing rapidly, but at the same time he is also very restless. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will run around in the record company.

Although she was polite to Britney and the others, it was another matter how she saw her in private. At least Adrian had seen her before. He smiled and said a few words to Christina face to face. She snorted, showing a look of "no big deal". Relatively speaking, she has a better sense of Avril.

Don't worry, let her continue like this for the time being. I said at the beginning that if she shows up, the release time of the album can be advanced, and we can observe for a while longer.

In addition, although April is the low season of movies, there are also many movies released, such as the live-action "Scooby" starring Jessica and Love, another Jessica in a supporting role, and Sarah as the producer. Bi" was released at the end of the month.

As a funny comedy combining live action and animation with an investment of more than 50 million, this is certainly a gimmick, but it is also a weakness. In the eyes of critics and some people, this is to be equated with the mentally retarded and simple plot, so word of mouth and comments will not be too high. Even so, the publisher still spent a lot of money on publicity, and there was no shortage of premieres, and the end-April schedule was still somewhat competitive. (to be continued..)
