King of Hollywood

It was already the afternoon of the second day when I boarded the plane. Although Adrian started to make arrangements after receiving the call, the movie was very important, so there were a lot of things to deal with, and it took about a day It takes about 10 minutes to get it basically done, if not for Charlize, it might take twice as long.

"To be honest, I should thank you, Charlie. If it weren't for you by my side, my life would be in such a mess." Adrian said emotionally to Charlize after withdrawing his eyes from the white clouds outside the window .

But it was his itinerary that was oncoming.

"I've rearranged it according to your request. If there's no problem, then so be it." Charlize deliberately said in an ariad tone, but the delicate face was expressionless, which seemed very uncoordinated.

"Oh, this confirms my words even more." Adrian reached out and put his arm around Charlize's waist, and the girl suddenly screamed and sat on his lap, breaking the trick so easily.

"It's on the plane, Ed." Charlize said half reproachfully, half annoyed.

"Of course I know it's on the plane, and I also know that there is no one else on the plane except our pilot who is already in the cab, dear." Adrian said with a smile, his hands began to be dishonest.

"Don't call me honey"

"Okay, honey."

"Don't call me sweetheart"

"No problem, baby."

"Don't yell either... hell, are you listening to me?" Charlize struggled to stand up, but Adrian didn't let go anyway, just looked at her with a smile.

"What, do you want to do it here?" Charlize, who had difficulty maintaining a calm mind, said angrily, and her unscrupulous words immediately made her regret, because Adrian hissed and opened her jeans on the zipper.

"You guy" hurriedly beat him hard with his elbow, Charlize finally escaped from Adrian's embrace and sat on the other side of the plane, then glared at him bitterly and somewhat complicatedly.

"I'm serious, Charlie, there is no better secretary assistant than you." Adrian looked at her with a smile.

"Then raise the salary," Charlize said unceremoniously, "Now I have a new job called nanny."

"No problem, how about a 30% increase?" Adrian agreed very readily, and the girl was taken aback immediately, because he raised her salary by 50% just a month ago, and it took more than a year. It has been raised four times. In the profession of secretary assistant, Charlize already holds a rare high salary.

"I'm not joking, Charlie, you are indeed very good. Needless to say, your work achievements all the time, this time I will go back to discuss the project and you will complete the project, right?" Adrian said holding up The itinerary in his hand shook, and then he sat in front of the girl, held her hand in his own, and looked at her sincerely: "I don't want you to leave, I want to keep you by my side .”

"Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." After a few seconds of silence, Charlize stood up and walked to the back of the cabin.

Looking at her back, a smile appeared on the corner of Adrian's mouth, and then he shrugged, diverting his attention to other places, such as the plane. Because the need is urgent, the leased aircraft is of an older model, and it may be bumpy when encountering strong air currents, but the layout of the cabin is still very good.

Seems like it's time to consider buying a private jet? Adrian thought so. But he shook his head immediately. It's not enough now. Although TBS has been successfully acquired by them, he immediately gave Claude two new targets: Marvel Comics and TV Network. The acquisition of TBS did not cost too much money, which can be used in this regard.

Needless to say, Marvel comics, after entering the 21st century with mature CG technology, their superheroes have dominated most of the screen, so they have gained huge profits, Adrian can't think of a reason not to acquire it. Just look at Warners, how much Superman and Batman did for them after they bought the comics in the late 60's. Now that we know what its prospects are, don't we have to wait for Marvel Comics' stock to start to rise before making a move?

As for, unlike other TV networks, it relies on fees for profit rather than advertising. It is the largest paid cable TV network in the United States and one of the few TV networks that mainly focuses on original TV series. Although the series produced are inseparable from sex, violence, and blackness, they are always guaranteed in quality. "Band of Brothers" is produced by them. Also, now is a good time to acquire those classic shows that haven't been produced yet.

In this way, and Adrian still doesn't want to live in debt - affected by the previous life, there is no way - private jets are not expensive, and maintenance is the most expensive place, so I thought about it in my heart Later, the plan was abandoned. But you don’t have to wait too long, because 1995 is coming soon, and the stocks of Cisco and Microsoft in your hands have been increasing, and the two people from Stanford have already started collecting website addresses in advance. One or two points to make people invisible, by this time next year, his net worth will only continue to swell.

Well, let's get back to what's going on now. Adrian reached out and took the folder next to the itinerary to him and opened it in front of him. Claude spent almost a month adjusting and reorganizing TBS, and it was time for him to take out his things. In fact, Claude called to ask him to fulfill his promise. After all, Adrian had vowed to develop TBS with ease.

"Simply put, the most attractive part of this program is that anyone can have the opportunity to participate in it, and get rich rewards in the end." In the conference room of the media, Adrian sat in Crowe On De's right side, leaning on the back of the chair with his hands crossed on the table, the executives of TBS who looked at the folder in front of them said so.

The headquarters of TBS is in Atlanta, but Crowder specifically asked the executives to come to Los Angeles for a meeting this time because he has something to do for the time being. Of course, Adrian knew that this was just a foreshadowing for the relocation of TBS to Los Angeles in the future. After all, Los Angeles is their base camp.

"Tell me what you think, gentlemen and ladies." Adrian said this.

"Everyone can sign up to participate, so it can attract a lot of attention from the very beginning." An executive opened his mouth immediately. From his thoughtful expression, it can be seen that he agrees with the idea of ​​this program.

"Indeed, and the process is not too difficult, giving people a feeling that if I were replaced, I could do it." Another female executive said, "The more people participate, the more people watching will change. Many."

"The audience will substitute themselves into the participants, and will naturally choose to support a person who is pleasing to the eye. If this person wins the final victory, it may also attract the audience to participate, which will snowball like a snowball."

"And the rewards seem generous, but if you can really get high ratings, it's not worth mentioning compared to the advertising fee."

With the words of the previous two executives as an introduction, other people also started to discuss Come Together, and the conference room became much more lively for a while. As for Adrian, after smiling at Claude, he slowly drank the pure water in front of him.

"Mr. Adrian, I have a question about..." A middle-aged man raised his hand as he thought of something at this moment and asked, but Adrian interrupted him before he finished speaking: "I think you might What's wrong, Mr. Baker, I'm only responsible for providing the idea and some basic information about the idea, and you have to complete the specific things yourself."

The face of the middle-aged man blushed immediately, and he withdrew his hand a little embarrassingly. He obviously just remembered that the person who provided this idea was the chairman of the media and their boss.

"Of course, I don't want to criticize anything, Mr. Baker," Adrian continued, "What I want to say is that an excellent variety show that can attract audiences can't be completed by excellent ideas, but It takes all of you to work together, and I hope you all can unite and turn this idea called "Millionaire" into a perfect show."

Yes, the idea given by Adrian is the TV show that wins 1 million by answering a few questions to pass the test. It was because of the introduction of this program from the UK that the situation was barely maintained until after 2000. It is conceivable how popular this program was when it was broadcast. But because of this, the high-level executives who were dazzled began to squeeze the profits brought by "Millionaire" as much as possible, so after two or three years, the life of this program came to an end. Adrian, who is very clear about these, will naturally not make the same mistakes. Although the life of the program will not be extended for a long time, don't forget that there are many other ideas in his head.

Crackling applause rang out in the meeting room, because of what Adrian said before, it doesn't matter if he sincerely caters to it, at least they all think this program is valuable now.

"I have to admit, Ed, your idea is very good, and you have made full use of the weakness of human nature." After the meeting, Turner, who also attended the meeting but never spoke, said to Adrian.

"It's not enough, it's just a little bit. Everyone likes to take advantage, doesn't they? Especially ordinary people," Adrian shrugged. "As long as they see the hope of winning bonuses, they will definitely flock to it. It’s the same principle as buying a lottery ticket, but it’s more intense, more exciting and more entertaining than a lottery ticket.”

"Anyway, this is an excellent idea. Although it seems simple, no one has had the same thing before you. You are indeed a genius, Ed." Turner said, patting him on the shoulder.

British television won't be producing the show until next year, so the idea is certainly unique.

"This is indeed a good idea, Ed. Ted is not a guy who praises others easily. I can't wait to see the effect." After Turner left, Crowder said half-jokingly. His performance today It's much more plain than Bitner and those executives. As Adrian's best friend, he already knew it.

"Actually, I still have a lot of these ideas," Adrian shrugged nonchalantly. "It's nothing more than lowering the barriers to participation and increasing rewards for winners. The specific operations may be different, but the essence is the same."

"But the key is to know how to operate, such as answering questions to pass the level; and what kind of reward is appropriate, such as a 1 million bonus. These are the key points of whether a program is popular or not." Claude said leisurely.

"Don't be so greedy, Claude, I'll take it out when it's time to take it out." Adrian knew what he meant, and shook his head with a smile, "It's better to make "Millionaire" first, and then say it after the signboard is opened." Bar."

As for whether it will inspire the planning departments of other broadcasters, causing many programs to appear in advance? Don't worry about that. After a little recollection, most of the popular programs are imported from European countries. It's not that these people lack inspiration. There are still some good variety shows in the United States, but most broadcasters focus on profit and are rarely willing to take risks. Even in Europe, most of these programs are produced by independent television stations.

"Okay, let's talk about things other than variety shows now." After looking at the empty conference room, Adrian immediately changed the subject, "Do you still remember the plan we discussed before?"

"Of course," Claude smiled slightly, "Do you have an idea about the talk show?"

"Come on, Crowe, I'm serious about talking to you." Adrian rolled his eyes.

He has never had any good ideas about talk shows. Talk shows or popular talk shows have high requirements for hosts. TBS’s current contracted hosts can host programs like "Millionaire". Hosting a regular talk show is fine, but making it stand out is more difficult. Adrian had vaguely thought of something at first, but then disappeared without a trace, and gave up temporarily after failing to find it several times. He believed that since he was there, he would always remember it.

"Okay, okay, so you already have an idea for a TV series?" Claude spread his hands.

"Yes, there are already. There are a few movies that need to be prepared when I return to Los Angeles this time, so I just decided on the TV series." Adrian nodded, "This is a special youth idol drama, and the audience may It's a bit narrow, but it's in line with TBS's current situation. In addition, the lead actor may be a little young."

"Oh—maybe a little—" Claude said in a long voice, and the expression on his face became a half-smile.

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

"Goodbye, Mom" ​​Sarah yelled loudly, waved to her mother at the door, and got into Adrian's car.

After giving Adrian a shy look, she suppressed her emotions and sat obediently in the passenger seat without saying a word. Adrian smiled slightly, waved to Roselan through the car window, then started the car and drove out.

All the way to Bosworth Films without a word, drove into the parking lot and stopped at the corner, Adrian was about to speak, Sarah had already jumped up and wrapped his neck around his neck and kissed his mouth. Facing the girl's sudden attack, Adrian was a little stunned at first, but then began to enjoy the girl's passionate lips and tongue.

As the panting became more and more intense, Sarah not only did not restrain herself, but instead straddled Adrian's body, and entangled him even more passionately. The body began to shake back and forth involuntarily, and Adrian, who felt the friction below her, also hugged her tightly and pushed her up gently, and the atmosphere in the car became more and more intense.

Finally, the two separated. Sarah panted lightly, her face was flushed, and her eyes were still blurred when she looked at Adrian.

"I love you, Ed." She said softly, her soft voice was indescribably alluring.

"I love you too, baby." Adrian said earnestly, looking at the shy but charming Sarah with loving eyes, and sighed in his heart at the same time, the girl in Huaichun really can make men the most impulsive.

"I haven't seen you for more than two weeks." The girl said with some resentment, but she didn't hide the longing in her eyes.

Since the relationship in the wooden house in Forest Park, Sarah, who has just tasted human affairs, has become more and more infatuated with Adrian. She usually maintains a well-behaved and beautiful appearance in front of many people, but if she is alone with him in private, will be completely different. Sexy, wild, a little slutty, but just right and not annoying, Adrian likes it very much.

"I'm sorry," he kissed her lips, "I hope you like my birthday present."

Because of certain things, it was impossible for Sarah to visit Alabama like Monica and Julia, and it was difficult for Adrian to attend her birthday party. They separated and didn't meet again until now, more than two weeks later. During this period, Sarah's birthday gift was also sent by Adrianto.

"I like it, I like it very much, Ed, I've never liked it like this before." Sarah said tenderly.

Adrian's gift is a string of stone necklaces, composed of several white crystal clear stones, very beautiful. In the eyes of others, this may be just an ordinary stone necklace, but it has an extraordinary meaning to Sarah.

"It's a pity that I bought it in a store," Adrian sighed. "When I have time later, I will go to the stream in the forest park to search carefully, and then I will make a bracelet for you by myself..."

Before she finished speaking, she was gagged by Sarah again, and then there was another passionate obsession.

"Okay, Sarah, let's stop here for now." Adrian held the girl and breathed a little quickly. "We have other things today, remember? I said I would arrange a TV series for you."

"I know, Ed, but..." Sarah, who was always riding on Adrian's body and wrapping around his neck, said in a gasping voice, "I want you."

"Now? Here?" Adrian raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Sarah's face became more and more rosy, almost dripping water. She seemed to be hesitating for something, but made a decision after a few seconds and whispered excitedly, "kme"
