King of Hollywood

At this time of year, countless predictions are released. Critics have interpreted the possible trend of the Oscars from their own perspectives. Various comments have greatly enriched the conversations of Americans after dinner, and have also attracted many diehard movie fans. Who makes the Oscars a grand event in the film industry when they fight against each other for their favorite actors or directors?

However, Adrian, who is one of the objects of controversy, is not interested in giving an exact response to this. Even if he is surrounded by reporters when he goes out to a party, he will only use clichés to perfuse things, such as thanking the Golden Globe judges for the best The film was awarded to "Scent of a Woman", or Pacino and Thompson deserved the award, it's normal not to get the best director, and so on. But some substantive things, such as predicting the prospects of the Oscars, have always remained silent.

"He is probably thinking about a new movie again. The title of workaholic is not for nothing." Some media teased him like this.

Adrian was indeed busy, and it was the first time he was so busy after resting for more than a month. But this time he was not busy with movies. Last year, he had to rush to produce three different types of movies, which was enough for him. There is no need to do the same this year.

This time he was busy with TV dramas. After being reminded of "Friends" by Jennifer Aniston that night at the party, he immediately asked the company to start collecting relevant information. Fortunately, the situation was the best one. There were no similar TV drama scripts, so after he gave the TV department a general idea, he immediately asked the screenwriters to start writing the content of the first episode.

Of course, Adrian didn't participate too much in it, he just kept giving comments on the finished script, and then sent it back for the screenwriter to revise until he was satisfied. It is impossible for him and he is not interested in producing TV series, and it is impossible for him to recall the content of all the episodes. The team in the TV department is responsible for these, so they must understand the theme and direction of the TV series by themselves.

"The friendship between the six people is the key. They may have problems of one kind or another, and they may quarrel endlessly because of a little thing, but when they calm down, they will reflect and understand each other. That's why the name of the TV series will be called "" end"." Sitting at the head of the long desk, Adrian said, scanning the staff on both sides.

Seeing that they all seemed to be listening carefully, he opened his mouth again: "We all know that there are only two aspects to attracting viewers to watch TV dramas, which air once a week. First, there is enough suspense. Make them wonder what the hell is going to happen next, and two, make people laugh and make them want to keep having fun. Friends naturally uses the second approach, but take note, ladies and gentlemen, These jokes must be close to life, and the audience should feel that these six protagonists are people who live around them, and they will encounter these interesting things that happen between them at any time. There is no need to exaggerate, but to grasp the essence of the characters. Features, understand?"

Speaking of this, Adrian flipped through the folder in his hand, took out two copies from it, and praised: "For example, in the eighth episode of Zachary and Richard, although Ross is a bit stubborn and dull, he is definitely not ignorant. On the contrary, Sergio, Alison, and Chiwet did a good job in the tenth episode, and Joey's slowness, Phoebe's nervousness, and Rachel's little confusion are all performed very well. You can compare Check it out, I've put my opinion on it."

He casually put the two documents into the hands of Clark, the team leader on the left. Clark flipped through them quickly and then passed them to the next person. After passing them around, they were divided into several groups for discussion. Finally, Farmiga, the director of the screenwriting team, looked up. Looking at Adrian, he said carefully: "We will modify it as soon as possible, Mr. Adrian."

"Very good, do you have any other questions?" Adrian glanced at the crowd again, and seeing that no one was talking, he waved his hand to signal the end of the meeting: "That's it, the casting work can start, make samples as soon as possible and hand over to TV station."

Although it took almost half a month to complete almost ten episodes of the first season, in Adrian's opinion, the scriptwriters in the TV department have done a good job. After all, the first few episodes are almost completely according to his plan. The last three episodes were changed freely by the screenwriters. In these few episodes, except for the slight deviation in the description of Ross in the eighth episode, the other two episodes are well done. If the produced samples can pass from him, then this TV series can be handed over to them with confidence.

"If you hadn't said it before, I really thought you were going to make a TV series." Lavern came up from behind and muttered. Although he attended the meeting, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

"How come, although I work crazy, I am always alone." Adrian laughed twice, "Even if I made three films in one go last year, it was done with the assistance of the team."

As he spoke, he patted Lavern on the shoulder: "Worried, Laver, this TV series will be well received. You think so after reading the script, don't you?"

"Yes, so I am supportive." Laverne shrugged, "Frankly speaking, Ed, it is both lucky and unfortunate to have a boss like you."

"Because I can give you full trust and power, but once you decide to do something, you have to do it no matter what, right?" Adrian looked at him with a smile.

Lavern shrugged again and said nothing, and Adrian patted him on the shoulder again. The two looked at each other and smiled. With the two years of working together and the development of the company, they have already established a very tacit understanding.

"Mr. Adrian," a staff member came over at this moment, "Mr. Dennis is already waiting for you in your office."

"Okay, I'll come." Adrian nodded to Lavern and was about to leave, but after two steps, he turned his head and said: "By the way, Laver, tell the personnel department Supervisor, I need a secretarial assistant right now."

"Secretary assistant?" Lavern was a little puzzled.

"I can be a secretary when I'm in the office, and an assistant when I'm on the set," Adrian explained, "I need an all-around talent who can help with all the trivial matters."

"Well, I know, I will let them find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible." Laverne agreed.

Adrian nodded again, and then walked towards his office.

"Hi, Dan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." As soon as he entered the office, Adrian saw Dennis in unlined clothes sitting on a chair idly and turning around, and he couldn't help but greeted with a smile.

"Ah... Hey, Ed." Dennis quickly pressed down on the chair and bounced up. Although he was no longer familiar with Adrian, he always instinctively maintained a kind of respect when he was in the office.

"It's nothing, you have your own business to attend to." He waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, I've only been here for a few minutes."

After a pause, Dennis asked curiously again: "By the way, what are you busy with, a new movie?"

"Of course not," Adrian sighed suddenly, "Why does everyone ask me that? Crowe is like this, and you are like this, so as long as I'm working, I must be working on a new movie? I'm so workaholic ?”

"Probably, because the media call you that." Dennis looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

"It seems that it will take a long time to change people's views on me." Adrian raised his hands helplessly, walked to the desk and sat down. There's no one to deal with."

"Sorry, Ed, I'm sorry." Dennis said hurriedly after sitting down again.

"Regret?" Adrian looked at him inexplicably, but then he reacted and shook his head dumbfounded.

"It's okay, I didn't take it to heart." Adrian waved his hand indifferently.

The regret Dennis said was naturally Kate’s departure. During this period of time, Adrian did not deliberately publicize Kate’s departure, nor did he deliberately conceal it, so everyone around him knew about it—fortunately, the Golden Globe Awards dinner was over. Finally, because he was busy inviting guests to the party, the original plan to reveal Kate's real girlfriend's identity in front of the reporters was not carried out, otherwise, the media would definitely be very lively now.

"Really?" Dennis looked at him suspiciously, seemingly in disbelief.

"Okay, let's talk about something else." Adrian didn't bother to explain.

He really didn't take it to heart, with Roger as an agent, he knew Kate's every move very well. If there was any trouble with her leaving, it was that his life had become a little more chaotic.

When Kate was still around, she sorted out most of the documents that Adrian left at home. Now that she left suddenly, it suddenly became messy. It took Adrian several days to put away the things she left behind. The classification is completed, so he just asked Lavern to help find someone who can be both a secretary and an assistant. In the previous few film productions, the assistants were different each time, and it took a period of time to adjust each time, so Adrian simply wanted to find someone to take up these two positions.

"I'm busy with a TV series, which is the idea that came to mind because of your new girlfriend on the day of the party. Of course, I only provide the idea and supervision at the beginning, and most of the work is handed over to them." Adrian said just now The matter in the conference room was about to lead the topic to "Four Weddings and One Funeral", when Dennis' voice full of doubts rang out: "My new girlfriend? When did I have a new girlfriend?"

Adrian raised his eyebrows: "Why, Jennifer? Isn't Miss Aniston your new girlfriend?"

"How could Jane be my new girlfriend?" Dennis became more and more puzzled, "We are just ordinary friends."

"Ordinary friends? Then why did you..." Adrian was also a little confused on the night of the party.

"What happened to me that night?" Dennis still didn't understand.

Adrian twitched the corners of his mouth, tapped his hands on the desk a few times, and looked at him after pondering for a few seconds: "Okay, tell me how you know each other." ()
