King of Hollywood

Chapter 67 Negotiation

Adrian couldn't help being taken aback, not knowing where he said something wrong, but he understood the problem in just a few seconds. Last year's "Pretty Woman" made Julia Roberts popular all over the United States, and even won an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and the other two films she participated in also achieved good box office, but it was released at the beginning of this year "Keep a Lover" directed by Joe Schumacher failed miserably in Waterloo.

This movie has a mediocre reputation but a terrible box office. Although "Keep a Lover" has a very touching story, which is similar to "Pretty Woman" to some extent, I don't know why people just don't like it. Here is where the parallels between making a film and gambling can be seen.

All in all, Julia found herself in an embarrassing situation after the film, with even harsh critics calling her "box office poison." When Spielberg was discussing "Jurassic Park", he had heard the post-production staff for "Captain Hook" privately sneered at Julia.

"Don't think too much, Julia, there are always downs in life," Adrian said comfortingly, "Think about what Vivienne would do in this situation? The optimistic one with her own principles and dreams Girl, what would she do."

Julia couldn't help showing an expression of surprise, the corners of her mouth twitched as if she wanted to laugh, and she seemed to think it was a bit funny to be comforted by a young director who had just met. But she didn't laugh in the end, she just looked at him in a daze with some puzzlement.

"I believe that a woman who can perfectly play such a role will not be easily defeated. You are so young, and after going through this trough, the future will be brighter, I believe." Adrian said and stretched out his hand Brushing the long hair on Julia's forehead, it was very natural, as if she had known an old friend for a long time.

"Has anyone ever said... you're very talkative, Adrian?" Julia asked, blinking.

"Oh, everyone says that." Adrian said with a gesture and an exaggerated tone.

Julia suddenly burst out laughing, and after laughing, she showed her previous depressed look again, and sighed heavily while looking elsewhere. After a while, I turned my head and looked at Adrian with grateful eyes: "Thank you."

Although she has been working hard in the entertainment circle for several years, she is only 23 or 4 years old now. In addition, she has heard enough sarcastic remarks during this period, and she naturally has a lot of good feelings after being comforted by Adrian so intimately. .

"I'm just telling the truth," Adrian shrugged, "Smiling is always the most attractive part of a beautiful woman. Sadness is pity, but it shouldn't be the norm."

Although Julia covered her mouth, even so, the giggling sound still penetrated into Adrian's ears. Evidently, she was well received by the compliment.

"Thank you, Adrian, thank you very much," Julia coughed softly, the expression on her face relaxed a lot, "You are such a gentleman, although they have told me so, but never No one is as sincere as you."

"It's my honor to open your mind for you." Adrian smiled slightly.

"Hey, speaking of it, you haven't told me yet, why do you know that I'm wearing the Lancome Precious series perfume?" Julia suddenly thought of something and asked.

"My nose is very sensitive to perfumes, and I can smell most of them." Adrian raised his eyebrows and said, this is the skill of the previous Adrian, and that "he" spent too much effort on these things , for the current Adrian, this is not a small fortune when it comes to conquering certain things.

"However, although this perfume is full of gentleness and confidence, it is more suitable for mature and stable women. I suggest you try Lancôme's Miracle series, which will make you look fresh and more energetic. If you want to choose For other brands, Chanel No. 19 can achieve the same effect." Adrian talked eloquently.

Julia stared at him blankly, her slightly opened mouth seemed not to close it again.

"I really... I really... don't know what to say," Julia gestured with a surprised smile on her face, "I didn't expect you to know these things."

Adrian shrugged with a smile and didn't say any more.

"Okay, I will try you, but if it doesn't work, I will ask you to settle the score." Julia said jokingly, and then she raised her eyebrows suddenly: "Wait! How come you are so familiar with it when it was released just a few days ago?"

"Because I have a girlfriend, I bought a bottle for her to try when it was just launched." Adrian explained.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Julia was slightly surprised, a hint of disappointment flashed unconsciously in her eyes, and then subconsciously looked around.

"She's in college and it's not the weekend, so she didn't attend the premiere with me." Adrian continued.

In fact, if Kate wants to come over, it is not difficult, as long as she asks for a leave of absence from the school. But she declined the invitation on the grounds that her studies were important. Adrian, who knew Kate's psychology deeply, came to the premiere alone after feeling her innocence and cuteness. Now it seems that it is a good thing that she did not come to participate.

"I believe she must be very beautiful." Julia said a little insincerely.

"Yes, I was only 18 not long ago, and I am very interested in acting, and I am currently studying the acting department at the California Institute of the Arts." Adrian introduced his girlfriend, "She is still very talented. Movies have played roles."

"Wow, CalArts, I heard it's very good. I applied to CalArts after graduating from high school, but unfortunately I was rejected." Julia looked away and didn't know what she was thinking.

"It's such a pity," Adrian said, looking at the entrance of the screening hall, "The movie is about to start playing, let's go to the screening hall, I hope you can give me a fair score for this movie."

"Okay, I'll try my best." Julia who turned her head smiled slightly.

Although "The Shawshank Redemption" began to premiere, Adrian did not watch it in the screening room because an assistant approached him and said that Spielberg wanted to talk to him.

"I'm sorry to interrupt my work." Spielberg, who had been waiting in the lounge for a while, stood up after Adrian arrived.

"It doesn't matter, I have watched it countless times in the editing room, and I have confidence in my work." Adrian smiled and shook hands with him. Looking at the other people in the lounge, Spielberg's assistant, several heads of Universal, Laverne, etc., he already understood the reason why the other party invited him over.

After receiving some materials and documents from Lavern, Adrian sat down on the sofa and looked through them, then looked at Spielberg: "Then, let's get started."
