King of Hollywood

Chapter 233 Bestseller List

Although it is regrettable, there is no need to be too regretful. Anyway, Adrian still has a lot of ideas, and there are still many works with high ratings and popularity. Although it cannot be compared with "Friends", it can be regarded as a classic American drama. After the company's TV department fully grows through "Friends", it can completely produce one by one.

Besides, to increase the ratings of TV does not depend solely on excellent American dramas. Don’t forget that he still has a lot of ideas for classic variety shows. Comprehensive exhibitions are the most correct way, so let’s get the TBs first. .

After resting for almost two weeks, after Independence Day, Adrian returned to the company's studio to start the post-production of "This Killer Is Not So Cold". Now that the editor is a quarter of the way through the script's shots, he can start montage-editing them further, while overseeing the production of the score and theme song.

But overall it is still very easy, because there is plenty of time, and Adrian can make it at the slowest speed. Surprisingly, the staff couldn't accept it for a while. After all, they have been used to his fast, desperate, and rigorous production methods in the past two years, and it is inevitable that they will not adapt to the sudden relaxation.

"Very good, then let's speed up." After hearing such a discussion, Adrian said to the staff. Although everyone knew that he was joking, everyone still booed unanimously.

Just kidding, although the overtime salary is high enough and the bonuses are generous, they are not as important as a comfortable and regular life. Since Adrian's great mercy is no longer rushing to work, why would they take the initiative to ask for it? However, it is probably because of this reason that every year there are a few news stories about film companies oppressing interns in Hollywood, and some jobs in society have almost become the patents of ethnic minorities or immigrants. In the 1920s and 1930s The momentum of the hard work is almost gone.

Well, these are all digressions. The editing work has not affected Adrian's current leisurely life. Apart from dating, attending various parties, and checking the status of various companies, he still has time to do other things, such as going to records from time to time. Go around the company and pay attention to the progress of Britney and Christina's training.

They are still very good. Two or three years of career has laid a solid foundation for them. Although Adrian asked the teacher to treat them strictly, and explained this in front of the two girls, several teachers expressed their appreciation for them. .

"You guys are doing a great job, I really hope you can keep it up." Adrian had to call them out and say a few words, basically words of encouragement, with a little hint at the same time. Of course, as usual, he would let Christina leave first, and then leave Britney for a few more words.

"Okay, little guy, as long as you are obedient, I promise I will find time to come and see you. Now, I'm going to rest, you know, if it's daytime over your side, it's nighttime here." Adrian doubled With his feet on the desk, he held the cordless phone and said with a smile, "Very well, good night then, I love you."

After the sound of disconnection came, he sat up and put the phone back to its original place, then heaved a long sigh of relief. Emma, ​​who returned to London after Adrian wrapped up filming in New York, was unlikely to be here for long, even with Mai looking after her. In fact, it's good for the little guy to come to New York, so no matter how reluctant she is, she can only go back obediently. Of course, tearful eyes were unavoidable when parting, and it took a long time to laugh before being coaxed.

Little guy. Adrian said something in his heart, and then thought of Rodlin and George who adopted her now. But he can only shake his head, some things are not easy to interfere.

Stretching, he put the matter aside, and picked up a letter from the desk.

"...I have finished reading this book, frankly speaking, the story is very interesting, and the kind of philosophical thinking about virtual cyberspace is also very surprising. My father also said that compared with other similar novels, it has more There are a lot of flashes of inspiration. But unfortunately, I think the description of its fighting has weakened the atmosphere full of philosophical thinking..."

Seeing some graceful handwriting, the corners of Adrian's mouth curled up slightly. That day, I saw Natalie reading a newspaper, the New York Times, so I followed suit and took a look, and unexpectedly found that "The Matrix" occupied the 76th place on the bestseller list.

This is a surprise, since Adrian lost the finished version of "The Matrix" to the publishing house, Adrian hasn't asked about it again, and he doesn't even know the sales volume - to be precise, he forgot, of course the publishing house will not ignore the sales volume. Notified him, and Charlize sorted out all kinds of information for him, so it can only be said that he didn't take it to heart at all.

I didn't expect to be on the "New York Times" bestseller list now. Although it only ranks 76th, it is already quite good. You must know that Adrian initially expected that this novel would be at most second-rate. Between and first-class, so I couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect my 76-bit book."

How could Natalie, who was right next to her, ignore this line, immediately grabbed the newspaper and quickly read it, and exclaimed: "You mean, you wrote this novel called "The Matrix"?"

"Of course, is there something wrong?" Adrian spread his hands.

"Hmm..." Natalie froze immediately, "Well, I'm just a little surprised, you are a director after all... I mean, writing a script and writing a novel are two different things, so..."

She gestured awkwardly and smiled.

"Actually, they are all creative stories, but the presentation methods are different." Adrian smiled and untied her, "Actually, I didn't expect this novel to achieve such a result. It was originally planned to be written as a script. Even though it can be produced now, the budget alone may reach astronomical figures, so I decided to write it as a novel first. But because of... um... some reasons, so I used a pseudonym, don't tell others about this, okay? "

Natalie was a little stunned at first, then smiled slightly: "I think it must be no problem."

After a pause, she thought of something else and said: "It seems that I should buy a book and see how your novel writing skills are. By the way, can I post my own comments after reading it?"

"Oh, of course, everyone has the right to express their opinions." Adrian nodded, "However, I'm going back to Los Angeles soon, so your comments should either be published in the newspaper or write to me— Don’t say anything about using the phone, that’s not called a comment, it’s just an opinion.”

"That's it." Natalie agreed after thinking for a while.

This happened at the end of the filming of "This Killer Is Not So Cold", because Adrian shared his little secret with Natalie, so she agreed to keep in touch through letters smoothly. A lot of times distance is attractive, especially after that kind of thing happened again.

"Well, I have to think about how to reply to the letter and keep it going." Adrian murmured while looking at the light blue letterhead. Some things seem insignificant, but they can often play a big role.

"Ed, you should go." Charlize knocked on the door and walked in without waiting for Adrian's response.

"Hey, Charlie, you should come in when I let you in, in case I'm so embarrassed to be naked." Adrian joked in a complaining tone.

"Are you going to be embarrassed?" Charlize rolled his eyes at him and turned away.

"Oh, Charlie, you really make me sad, how can you talk like that." Adrian got up and chased out of the study with a smile, arranging his clothes as he walked, which he had already put on.

Charlize didn't bother to pay attention to him, knowing that when she reached the stairs, she said in a nonchalant manner: "By the way, Ed, I plan to move out in the first half of this month. There is a nice villa for rent in Xilin District."

"Don't think about it, Charlie, I won't agree." Adrian vetoed it bluntly.

"Damn it, Ed, you'd better understand that I'm only yours..." Charlize said half of it and then closed her mouth. After a few seconds, she said again: "Okay, I won't say this, otherwise you Say I’m nagging again. In short, it’s up to me to decide where to live, and I have the freedom and power to move at will.”

"Oh?" Adrian stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Charlize and chuckled a few times, then suddenly walked up to her and stared at her: "Well, it looks like I'm going to release their pigeons tonight— How about we go to the study and have a good talk, Charlie? I will definitely try to persuade you to stop thinking about it."

Charlize stepped back nervously, and leaned against the wall within two steps, unable to resist Adrian's aggressive eyes.

"What are you talking about, Charlie?" Adrian whispered in her ear.

"Um...um...no need, I will...consider the previous question again." Charlize gritted her teeth and said with frustration.

"Okay, then I'll leave the house to you. Julia is still waiting for me to pick her up." Adrian said with a smile, leaned over and sucked gently on her ruddy lips, and then turned to go Go downstairs.

Seeing his back gradually getting smaller, Charlize, who was leaning against the wall, slid softly on the ground. After several minutes of this, she took a deep breath, half annoyed and half depressed, and covered her forehead.

Parties are always an indispensable part of American life, especially in Hollywood, where all kinds of parties are dazzling. And parties are often a place to show a person's status, especially the identity and status of the host, which can be seen from the guests attending.

Adrian attended the celebration party of "Friends" tonight. It's hard not to celebrate such a high ratings. Although Bosworth Films hosted it, as the producer—although it was a name, However, the conception of the script and the selection of the actors came from him - he can also be regarded as the host, so many people came after receiving the invitation.
