King of Hollywood

"...baby, rk, rsburst!" As the chorus representing ** sounded, the atmosphere in the hall became more active. This "rk" was originally a catchy song, and this time The popularity of this song is very popular, as long as it is an individual, it can hum a few words, so the people present more or less actively or passively nodded slightly following the rhythm.

It's a good idea to invite Britney Spears to be a guest performer in the midfield. Anyway, Britney is still the most popular, well-known and commercially valuable among young female singers. And this is a show, a show full of entertainment to attract attention. It has nothing to do with promoting new products, but more to expand brand awareness. Therefore, it is foreseeable that inviting well-known singers to perform on stage will officially become a practice.

Although the fashion people present were occasionally jealous, they would be relieved to think that no one could copy this model, and who the big bosses on both sides were. So when beautiful female models appeared on the stage again wearing underwear, some of them even carried their backs. With different or gorgeous or extravagant big wings, they all began to concentrate on admiring the girls' figures.

Adrian did not, he was chatting with a senior fashion professional, Anna Winter, the editor-in-chief of "Vogue", and also... the prototype of the female anchor Miranda in the novel "The Devil Wears Prada".

"By the way, I have something to tell you, Ms. Winter, I plan to adapt that novel into a movie." After chatting about some things, Adrian quickly got into the topic.

"That novel?" Winter was obviously a little puzzled, but she quickly realized that her eyebrows were raised vigorously under the iconic head: "This is not good news, Mr. Cowell."

"On the contrary, I think it's a good thing to see." Adrian raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking, "I know you don't like that... former assistant, although she has repeatedly denied it, but we all know Miranda's You’re the archetype. So, you think she’s betrayed you, you think she’s ungrateful, she doesn’t understand the pressure of being the editor-in-chief of Vogue, frankly. I agree with the latter.”

For those strong women, interrupting them is a good way to control the right to speak in their own hands, so Wen Te didn't speak, just looked at him, waiting for the next step.

"However, you have to understand that the movie and the novel are two different things, Ms. Winter," Adrian said with a smile on his face. "The Miranda in the book is not necessarily the same as the Miranda in the movie. Perhaps the general aspects should be consistent. But there is more room for manipulation in the details. It can make Miranda appear more flesh and blood, I mean..."

He moved a little closer: "You can take this opportunity to change your image. I believe that 'Nuclear Weapon Winter' is definitely not a nickname."

Then he raised his hand to stop the other party from speaking again: "Please don't say that indifference and harshness are your business cards, Winter, the times are different, and the Internet has made society flatter. All your Everything can be found on the Internet. Staying mysterious and superior will not make people admire themselves more. Appropriately being close to the people can win more fans. What's more. You don't need to make much change, you just need to let people Just feel like you're not the same as you were before, or not the same as you were in the book."

Wen Te didn't speak for a while, and stared at the underwear girls walking on the stage, but his lips were tightly pursed, and his face was expressionless.

After a while, she finally said, "So, Mr. Cowell, who do you plan to cast as Miranda?"

"Julia Roberts," Adrian smiled slightly, "as the first American actress to step into the 20 million club, and the first Oscar queen in the new century, she is very suitable."

Then, he stopped Winter again: "Believe me, Winter, I know Julia, I sent her to the throne, she has long been out of the category of romantic comedy, I believe she is very suitable for this role .”

In the final analysis, the key to showing Miranda's charm lies in how to create a strong aura for her. This is not just for the actors, but also for the stylists, costumers and art directors. Different actors have different ways of expressing themselves. It is impossible for Streep to have silver hair in the original version, and Julia also has silver hair. It is impossible for Streep to use some accents in the original version, and Julia must follow suit. In some places take the accent.

What's more, the actors have changed a lot, and there are a lot of adjustments to be made, and they can complement each other, so Adrian is not worried at all. The focus of this movie lies in fashion, gossip in the circle, Miranda's indifference, harshness, weakness, strength and ruthlessness, and how Andy adapts and chooses as a newcomer. As long as you can show this convincingly, Movies are successful. Why follow someone else's ass? Why not create your own image of Miranda that is accepted by the audience? What's more, the current Julia has tried roles that "before" have not tried.

Adrian can fully imagine that as long as this movie is a success, some day in the future someone will post on the Internet saying that it would be better for Streep to play Miranda. Attack it. Not everyone is willing to admit that the character makes the actor and not the actor makes the character, especially when people feel that a character is well played.

So Adrian always allows himself to calmly stand on a higher place and overlook everything, because he can compare, because he can see more.

"As the leading tycoon in the media industry, do you often do this, Mr. Cowell?" Winter finally asked.

"That's the fun." Adrian laughed dumbfounded.

As expected of "Nuclear Weapon Winter", even if he has been persuaded, he still has to make a sarcasm to show his own style. After all, if the crew wants to get her understanding, it is enough to ask Ron Mayer of Universal Pictures to come forward, even though she has been the editor-in-chief of "Vogue" for nearly two decades, even though she has many contacts in the fashion industry , and has considerable influence, but it is still not enough for a media tycoon, especially a media tycoon who has fully cooperated with the Newhouse Group to which "Vogue" belongs.

In fact, if it weren't for Adrian's relatively young age, his name in the entertainment industry would be even louder. Otherwise, this kind of behavior of explaining one's actions in detail to the editor-in-chief of a magazine will be a bit devalued in the eyes of people of the same level.

The reason why Adrian did this was of course to make the movie version of "The Devil Wears Prada" more outstanding. Because of the threat of Anna Winter in the original version, many well-known fashion brands faced cooperation invitations from the crew, knowing that it was a good idea. opportunities, but basically chose to decline, her influence is not small.

And now. As the most discerning person in the film industry and the most influential media tycoon, Adrian told her that this was an opportunity and gave her a suggestion, no matter how dissatisfied Winter was with the novel, he would think about it seriously. She is not an idiot either. With a miraculous director in front of her, it goes without saying what choice to make. As for how to cooperate, as a person who has been in charge of "Vogue" for nearly 20 years, Winter knows it well.

Therefore, Adrian can fill in a large number of famous brands. People can find any brand that can be found in the world in the movie, and just thinking about it is enough to make people who love fashion go crazy. By the way, you can also take this opportunity to promote her own fashion brand founded by Monica, which can serve multiple purposes.

"How do you feel, girls?" After smoothing out Anna Winter, Adrian immediately came to the other side of the catwalk and asked Leighton and Blake who were sitting together.

"It's not bad. They all have very good figures. I really hope to be like them." Leighton replied.

"It's too fancy. It can only be used for viewing, and it is not used at all at ordinary times." Black said.

"Fancy underwear is more ornamental than practical. Since it is displayed, it is not a problem if it is made more gorgeous." Leighton immediately retorted.

"I didn't say it's bad, the emphasis in my words is on practicality, Leighton, would you appear in front of... in such a set of underwear?" Black responded without showing any weakness.

Adrian smiled lightly and listened to their exchange of words. Not only did he not stop them, but he also took the time to say hello to Britney who was sitting not far away with his sister after the performance. Britney responded with a smile, and Jamie also waved his hand shyly, looking tender and as delicious as Britney back then.

If you want to choose the most topical TV series this fall, it must be "Gossip Girl". In addition to fashion and the rich life of Manhattan's Upper East Side, Britney's younger sister plays an important role.

Although under his training, there are not so many negative topics for Britney now, and the gossip is just some irrelevant scandals, or where and what parties she attended, as well as concerts, talk shows and so on. Serious embarrassment, in short, the image is as good as ever. But in any case, even though the shrinking of the global record market has undoubtedly affected Britney's commercial value, the title of Madonna's successor has never been removed. She is still one of the most popular singers, so as her Sister, Jamie's appearance has received considerable attention.

The combination of several factors, plus the cooperation between wD and the media, has done a good job in publicity, and it is very easy to stir up the topicality of "Gossip Girl". If it weren't for TV dramas aimed at young people aged 18 to 22, the ratings have never been very good, and the first few episodes might have reached 5 million viewers.

Even so, several leading actors have gained considerable popularity, not to mention Leighton and Blake, with the support of Adrian, they quickly became new teenage idols. As for others, Jamie Lynn Spears has a super idol sister, and her popularity is quite good. Teresa Palmer and Amber Heard, who has only appeared in a few episodes, are not far behind. But the accumulated popularity has taken a qualitative leap compared to before.

However, considering the number of episodes of Amber's appearance, Teresa is obviously a bit weaker. It is no wonder that Amber is more extroverted, and it is easier to mingle with others when he is resting on the set. He has also initially established himself in the play Such a person is always more popular. Among other things, he gave Adrian a good impression when he first met.

"Hello, my idol, I am Amber, Amber Heard, although I think many people have said this, but I still want to say it myself, you are really attractive." Amber said so at the time, with a warm smile on her pretty face and a blond hair that made her look very sultry. If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Adrian might have done it.

In contrast, Teresa was more nervous and cramped. After standing there and saying "Hello, Mr. Cowell", there was nothing else.

But it's not bad, her facial features are very iconic, but the distance between her eyes is a little shorter, and various still photos of half or slightly profiled faces can best reflect her beauty. But if you look at it from the front, it will be a little strange. I have to admit that she is indeed very similar to a certain little girl who is still being raised, especially now that she has to dye her blonde hair brown because of the needs of the plot, it is even more similar, and because of this, Teresa is very similar in appearance Lost to Amber by half.

It's a pity that although they, as the leading actors of "Gossip Girl", also came to participate in the Victoria's Secret catwalk—since the fashion brand is the main focus, such a grand catwalk cannot be missed—but they are too far away to even say hello. It's not easy to fight. In addition, Adrian has other arrangements, so let it go for the time being.

"Really? If it were me. I would never say that, Blake."

"You just don't like me, Leighton, if it were someone else, she would definitely not think so"

Leighton and Black were still chattering at this moment, completely unaware that the surrounding lights had dimmed, until Adrian put his fingers to his lips and let out a "hush". The final moments of the catwalk are approaching. And Adrian will also concentrate on appreciating, because the finale must be Alessandra Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr.

He didn't come to New York specifically for Anna Winter. He attended every year's Victoria's Secret. This year is no exception, so I just came to see the filming of "Gossip Girl", and by the way, I also solved the worries of "The Devil Wears Prada".

There is no doubt that this year's catwalk was also very successful, whether it was the poses of the models or the performance of Britney, and the finale performance of Alexander and Miranda pushed the overall atmosphere to the extreme. Whether it's Alexander's butterfly-like wings or Miranda's snow-white angel wings, they all look luxurious under the rendering of the lights and won countless applause.

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work. You are very good. Once again, let us appreciate the beauty of women. Believe me, there are many men in front of us who are sitting in their seats and refuse to leave for a long time." Adri came backstage after the end Ann gave a little preaching, which sparked a flurry of laughter, some merely echoing, some meaningful.

What he said could of course mean that the men were fascinated by the beauty of the models and couldn't help but want to see it again, but it could also mean that...well...they had to sit more because some places were too obvious After a while, it is best to leave after it has completely calmed down.

"Hey, girls, your performance today is really wonderful." With Adrian, he came to his woman's side, and put his arms around their slender waists one by one.

"Hi, Ed." Alexander and Miranda said in unison with a smile, and left their kisses on his face without hesitation.

Although there are other people here, several contracted models share a dressing room, but they all look nonchalant, including makeup artists and other staff. Inside Victoria's Secret, it's basically an open secret that Alexander and Miranda are the lovers of the director of Marvel, and, apart from the two of them, most of the signed models have slept with another big boss, Heidi Klum , Adriana Lima, etc., and even went out to drive together...

That's why Claude didn't participate in the catwalk for the past two years. Before getting married, he confessed all these things to Helen, so in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he didn't participate. Anyway, Adrian will do it for him, isn't it? ? From this point of view, he is much more responsible than a playboy in some respects.

"Let me introduce, this is Leighton Meester, this is Blake Lively--Leighton, Blake, this is Alexandre Ann Broscher, and this is Miranda Kerr, the best tonight Two beautiful models.” After spending some time together, after Alexander and Miranda changed into simple clothes, Adrian walked out of the dressing room with them, and introduced Leighton and Blake who had visited the backstage. some.

"Hi, Leighton, Blake, you did a great job on Gossip Girl."

"You too, I wish I could be on the runway like you guys."

"You are the best models."

The four exchanged pleasantries, Leighton and Black obviously showed disappointment in their eyes, while Alexander and Miranda looked at Adrian with questioning eyes.

"I'm sorry, Leighton, Blake, I have arrangements tonight." Adrian said very directly and blatantly, but the four of them didn't care. Introduce to each other, some things are self-evident.

Leighton and Black were more disappointed, while Alexander and Miranda were very indifferent.

Adrian was about to say a few more words, but the phone rang suddenly, so he had to make a gesture to wait a moment, and walked to the other side. The two couples who had just chatted with each other stopped talking and just looked at each other .

"It seems... there is nothing else but figure." Black finally couldn't hold back.

"Indeed." Leighton answered in a strange manner.

Alexander and Miranda were surprised at first, and then both laughed silently.

"Two cubs." Miranda snorted softly.
