King of Hollywood

With a plop, Natalie fell onto her own bed, buried her head in the quilt and arched her head indiscriminately for a while before lifting it up. After staring dully at the small objects on the bedside table for a long while, she finally let go of her pursed mouth.

Although there was a stalemate at the dinner table for a long time, but with the intervention of the mother, the father finally agreed to her request. It's just that Natalie couldn't be happy anyway, and when she thought of her father's stern appearance, she felt bored. The last time a scout introduced Sandy to his door, he was like this, objecting to her acting in a movie without saying anything.

Natalie didn't understand why she couldn't act in a movie, just like she didn't understand why she had to be a vegetarian when she was 6 years old, and why she had to strictly abide by those rules when she was 4 years old. Maybe she understands that after all, she has intelligence that is different from her peers, she just doesn't want to agree with it.

Forget it, I was missed, anyway, my father has already agreed. The girl rolled over and sat up, and then her eyes fell on the collar that had been placed on the bedside table before. Adrian's appearance suddenly emerged from his heart, followed by a smile rippling from the corner of his mouth.

She had always thought that the director was the kind of slovenly, who liked to speak in a loud voice, and always looked supercilious. It was only after she got in touch with Adrian that she realized how ridiculous her thoughts were. While he certainly doesn't speak for all directors, Natalie loves him, he's funny and humorous and... cute

Yes, she thought Adrian was very cute, and he often played and joked with her childishly, and even made her miserable several times. But at the same time, she took good care of her and took care of her. Natalie still remembers that when she was shooting a certain scene, she was hit by the props box because of something wrong with the props master, and she was severely reprimanded by Adrian a meal.

But more importantly, although he often plays with her childishly, he rarely treats her as a child when talking about serious matters. Whether it is directing performances or chatting about current affairs, he treats friends with an equal attitude.

"I never thought of you as a child, Nada, you are much smarter and more mature than most of your peers, just like Matilda, although you are still a little immature in some aspects due to lack of experience, but this can be made up for , isn't it?" Adrian said when Natalie asked.

The girl was very happy about that, God knows how much she disliked the word "kid".

It was a wise decision at first. The girl picked up the collar in her hand and played with it, and smiled slightly as she looked at the star pendant on it. The reason why he took the initiative to express himself at the beginning was not only a small resistance to his father, but also a feeling that the role of Matilda was very interesting and had an inexplicable attraction to him. It just so happened that the agent, Sandy, also revealed that the director is also the boss of their company. It would be too bad not to use such a relationship. I did not expect to meet such an interesting person.

Staring at the collar for a long while, Natalie suddenly put it on her neck, then jumped to the front of the full-length mirror with a stern face, pointed a gun at the person in the mirror: "I want you to do me a favor , Ed"

After saying this in a cold tone, she looked carefully at the image in the mirror. In addition to comparing her right hand to a gun, she subconsciously held her left hand, as if she still had a pot of Evergreen in her arms.

Natalie suddenly burst out laughing, then fell on the bed giggling and bouncing around, it took a long time for her to stop and turn over and crawl on the bed. Then her eyes fell on a photo on the bedside table, which she had taken during a certain scene, and usually movies take such photos as archives. The girl was wearing a striped short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts, sitting sadly on the window sill with her legs crossed. The dim sunlight came in and sprinkled on her body, giving her a unique beauty.

"I have to say, Natalie, you are really very beautiful in this appearance." The words Adrian said at the beginning suddenly sounded in her head, and a strange feeling suddenly emerged from Natalie's heart.

She still remembered how Adrian looked when he first saw this photo. He rubbed the photo with a faint smile, a little excited, admiring, admiring, and... obsessed? Like touching a lover's face?

Natalie's heartbeat quickened a little, and her face was slightly feverish. Oh, hell, what the hell was I thinking? She sat up, covered her mouth and coughed softly, but the way Adrian looked at her after asking for a photo that day as a souvenir—although it was just a glance— But exceptionally clear.

Okay, okay, stop thinking about these inexplicable things. After taking a few deep breaths, Natalie finally adjusted, and then sat down at the desk and started busy with her homework. Although her father promised her that she could visit the set the day after tomorrow, but These should never be left behind. However, even she herself didn't realize that a little pride hovered in her heart and couldn't get rid of it.

============================

Mainly in red and yellow tones, semi-European-style decoration, coupled with the bright crystal chandelier hanging in the center, the whole restaurant looks gorgeous and extravagant. In the restaurant, a man and a woman were arguing about something. The woman stared at each other with her hands on her hips looking very strong, but the man was lazy as if he didn't care about anything.

In the surrounding circle, photographers, lighting engineers, and sound engineers are all working with breathless concentration. Even the director Mandy Gale is also sitting on a chair and is concentrating on observing the rival scene between the two. It has been NG for almost ten times. , should pass.

"Nada, what do you think of our restaurant scene being filmed here?" Adrian who was standing in the corner suddenly asked the girl beside him, but after he asked about two or three times, the girl was a little dazed. He raised his head: "Huh?"

Fortunately, Natalie reacted immediately: "Here? It seems too extravagant, right? Although Leon should have made a lot of money, there is no need to bring Matil to this kind of restaurant, right?"

"Enjoy life, why not?" Adrian shrugged. Seeing that the shooting was over, he immediately walked over to talk to director Gail.

Natalie curled her lips and started to walk slowly on the set. Frankly speaking, the crew here is different from what she imagined. Originally, she thought it would be the same as that of "This Killer Is Not So Cold", and it would be lively and lively during breaks, but in fact, people have their own Small circles, chatting together in twos and threes, and the voice is not loud.

Sure enough, every director has his own style, and even the atmosphere on the set is different. Natalie looked around and kept shaking her little head. It's not that she has gained nothing, at least she has seen some different directors and performance styles, and gained a lot of her own experience. In her opinion, although the heroine Monica Bellucci's performance is not bad, if she is her grown-up self in the future, she will definitely be better than her.

Thinking of this, Natalie involuntarily looked for the figure of the heroine, and then, her brows frowned slightly. At the small table not far away, Adrian was chatting and laughing with Monica, with a look of intimacy, Adrian pinched Monica's chin several times while talking, and Monica also laughed. Very charming and seductive.

Unknowingly, the girl bit her lip, and her mood became a little bad. At this time, a slightly frivolous voice came from behind: "Hi, are you Natalie Herag?"

Natalie was slightly startled, and finally came back to her senses. She quickly took a few breaths to stabilize her emotions, and after making some adjustments, she turned her head and forced a smile: "Yes, you are?"

In front of her was a little girl about her age, with blond curly hair and a round face, cute and beautiful, and very temperamental, but there seemed to be a hint of arrogance between her brows.

"Kirsten Dunst, nice to meet you." The other party narrowed his eyes, as if he had noticed something, but then he extended his hand with a naive smile.

"Hello, Kirsten, I'm Natalie," the girl shook hands with her, and then showed a look of reminiscence, "Where have we met?"

"Oh, yes, I also participated in the audition for "This Killer Is Not So Cold." Kirsten said generously, "It's a pity that I was rejected. Ed thinks I'm not suitable for this role."

"That's a pity." Natalie raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing the other party call Adrian "Ed".

"But it's okay, I got the role again," Kirsten said with a cute smile, "Although it's a naughty girl with anorexia, I like it very much. By the way, how about you? Let's talk about how well you filmed." How's it going?"

"It's not bad, I also like the role of Matilda..." Natalie immediately picked up a few interesting things about the shooting, but for some reason, she always felt that the other party was a little hypocritical, and looked into her eyes With a bit of condescension, it made her very uncomfortable.

The two girls exchanged a few more words, but only in general terms and without getting too deep, and Kirsten left. Although she has a cute and cute smile from beginning to end, but the feeling of hypocrisy is a lot more.

Weird guy. Natalie wrinkled her little nose and muttered something in her heart, then put it aside and looked for Adrian again. He was no longer in the original position at this time, and the girl found his trace after going around the set for a few times, but she found it, but the idea of ​​saying hello in the past disappeared.

Adrian was behind a corridor in the restaurant where no one was moving around, and with him was the heroine Monica Bellucci, who was more intimate than before, hugging each other like a couple.

In fact, Natalie knew a little about Adrian's situation. During the few days when Monica came to New York, although she was not on the set because she had no role in the show, she did not listen to the staff's gossip afterwards. It’s just that I haven’t seen Monica basically. Even if she came to the set and waited for Adrian a few times, she still had a glimpse and no specific impression. Unlike now, she can see clearly.

The girl's mood became even worse for no reason. She was standing not far from the two of them, but they were so busy talking intimately that no one noticed her existence. Natalie stomped her feet immediately, turned around and walked away angrily. ()
