King of Hollywood

Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Seven

"The basic itinerary is arranged in this way. I have already faxed a copy to your parents and your agent. They have no comments. Do you have anything to add?" Eric Norton flipped through the information in his hand and said. .

"No, not at all, in fact, I can't wait any longer." Britney shook her head like a rattle, clenched her hands into fists, and an unabashedly excited smile hung on her face.

"Okay, then..." Norton immediately looked at her manager, Lawrence Vick, who was sitting next to Britney. The latter also shook his head and said that he had nothing to say, "That's it."

"Is it over? It seems that I'm late." A voice came from the door of the conference room.

"Hi, Ed." Britney greeted immediately, with a look of joy, if it wasn't for someone else, she might have swooped up.

"Hi, Boob, it's great to see you. You look a lot prettier again. Is it because you heard any good news?" Adrian walked over with a smile.

"Oh, of course, this is the itinerary for the signing, from Los Angeles to New York, and New Orleans." Britney excitedly picked up the document and waved it, "Although I can't pass through my hometown, it's already pretty good. "

"Really?" Adrian chuckled, then looked at Norton, "Why, haven't you told her any news yet?"

"I think it's more appropriate for you to tell her in person." Norton smiled, looking around at him and Britney, "After all, this is the result you've always wanted."

"What is it?" Britney asked, looking at Adrian with anticipation and hope in his eyes.

"Well, you're done anyway, so give us some private space." Adrian nodded and waved to Britney.

The girl jumped up immediately, greeted Norton and her manager, and followed Adrian with a smile on her face. The two left the meeting room and walked through two corridors to Adrian's private lounge. He didn't have his own office in the record company, so this lounge became a place for him to talk privately with several people in charge.

Click, as soon as the door closed, Britney jumped up and wrapped her arms around Adrian's neck.

"Wait, Bubu..." Before he finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by the other party, and he skillfully pried open his teeth, and stuck his flexible tongue in.

Amidst the whistling sound, Adrian locked the door while kissing Britney passionately, then put his arms around her body and straightened up. The girl clamped her legs around his waist, and Adrian also lifted her hips, just hugged her, and walked towards the sand next to him while continuing to kiss.

With a plop, the girl was pressed on the sand. Although Adrian had already counterattacked and broke through the line of defense, her nose let out an excited snort, and two blushes had already flowed up on her pretty face.

After an indistinct sigh, the two finally separated. Adrian, who sat up, pulled the neckline and looked at her with satisfaction: "You are so cute, Boo Boo."

Britney didn't speak, but panted with her mouth slightly open, her eyes were even more watery looking at him, as if she was not satisfied. Sure enough, she suddenly turned over and got up, crawling on the sand in a figure shape, with her hands on Adrian's shoulders, her panting became more rapid: "Come again, Ed, come again."

"Wait, Boob, don't be in such a hurry, okay?" Adrian smiled and grabbed her slender waist.

"But I want you." Britney said hurriedly, leaning forward and putting her head on Adrian's face and rubbing it lightly, sniffing it like a puppy.

This can't help but make Adrian feel relaxed and happy. Although Sarah is obedient to her, the relationship between each other is closer to a lover; although Kirsten is a little elf, she knows how to seduce people; Needless to say, Li. So Britney deserves to be his specially trained little pet.

Even so, he still gently pushed her up, and then asked under the longing and confused eyes of the other party: "You don't want to know a piece of good news?"

Britney was stunned for a moment before she realized it, but then she posted again: "What good news is more important than you?"

Adrian chuckled twice, then squeezed her little chin lovingly: "That's true, but I think you should know the news first."

"Okay." Although a little disappointed, Britney did not insist, after all, Adrian said so.

He took out a piece of paper from his arms, shook it in his hand, and then smiled, "Although the Billboard list won't be released until tomorrow, I've already got it through some channels."

"You mean..." Britney took a deep breath immediately, and looked at the thing in his hand with surprised and unbelievable eyes.

Adrian smiled and handed the paper to her. The girl took another deep breath after taking it, and opened it tremblingly. At the beginning, her eyes looked at the bottom, and then moved up. The disappointment in her eyes became stronger the higher she went up, until she reached the top. She was stunned, blinked her eyes, then stared wide open, shot an unbelievable look, and her body began to tremble.

"This...really?" She put down the paper, couldn't help but look at Adrian, then picked it up and looked at it again, feeling dizzy, biting her lips as if afraid, afraid that she was in a dream You may wake up at any time.

"Of course, congratulations, Boob, you did a great job." Adrian nodded with a smile.

"It's great, it's great, I'm number one, I'm number one." Britney suddenly cheered, jumped up from the sand, jumped up and down in the lounge excitedly, like a girl.

She has a reason to do so, because the title song "Baby, Love Me Again" of the first album has just been released, and it has been on the "Billboard" for any rookie singer, which is quite an honor.

"I knew I knew I was the best and the best" Britney kept jumping and cheering, her unscrupulous appearance seemed to shake the floor down, her innocent and lovely side was fully revealed at this moment.

Then, she stopped suddenly and turned her head to look at Adrian, her eyes were full of uncontrollable emotions. In the next second, she swooped into his arms, and then rained her kisses on him: "I love you, Ed, I love you, I love you, I love you Right, I can do it, my best best"

She yelled in ecstasy, with a choked-up sob at the end, and kept kissing Adrian, as if she couldn't express her gratitude otherwise. After yelling like this for a long time, it wasn't until she was exhausted that Britney finally stopped, snuggling up against Adrian and panting softly.

"Finally calm down now?" Adrian, who patted her back lightly, asked with a smile.

The girl smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just... didn't expect to be on the "Billboard" list, oh, it's like a dream."

""Bulletin Board" is not something unattainable. Such achievements are not surprising." Adrian said relaxedly, "Do you still remember what I told you, Boob? What kind of singer do I want to train?"

"Of course I remember, the next Madonna, and... I have that potential." Britney's eyes sparkled, and her breathing became a lot faster when she said this. Which female singer doesn't want to be the second Madonna?

"That's right," Adrian nodded with a smile, "Do you believe it now?"

"I have always believed in you, Ed, I believe everything you say." The girl said coquettishly, she suddenly straddled over and rode on his body, giggling, "I love you, Ed ,You are my everything."

Speaking of which, she suddenly thought of something and pouted: "Speaking of which, don't you think I look ugly in school uniform in mTV? It's not as beautiful as when we were in class."

"Of course," Adrian pinched her waist and lifted her up, "Only I can see you like that."

"But, sir, I have already graduated." Britney's voice suddenly became sweet, her eyes flickered with an inexplicable light, her chest stood out even more, even though she was still wearing a coat, she was so beautiful The good softness still shakes slightly, which is very attractive.

"I didn't say you graduated." Adrian replied with a smile, followed by his face for a while: "Do you remember what I taught you, Boob?"

Britney was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses, and replied somewhat uncomfortably: "Yes, you must learn to control your emotions."

"Obviously, you're not doing very well, are you?" Adrian said softly.

"Yes... sorry, Ed, I just... can't help it." Britney lowered her head and whispered.

"You will soon become a big star. If you can't learn to control your emotions and always show it on your face, those all-pervasive gossip reporters will catch a lot of bad things. Then you will be You will face countless pressures." Adrian said persuasively.

"I'll try my best," Britney said immediately, but immediately showed a hesitant look, "but...it doesn't seem easy in front of my family..."

"It's only two years. After two years, you don't have to do this anymore." Adrian said in a comforting tone, even though he frowned in his heart.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for today. You have to gather your energy for the upcoming signing event. Don't look at those singers who seem to be relaxed, but actually spend a lot of energy." He said again immediately.

"Then I'll go back." Britney, who was already obedient to Adrian, jumped off him obediently.

Although Adrian wanted to send her back so that he could observe her parents and see if they saw something, in the end he canceled the plan. And basically Britney's fame is a foregone conclusion

Frankly speaking, before releasing this album, even though "Baby, Love Me Again" was produced with the help of Norton and others, and even optimized to a certain extent, he is not sure whether it will be broadcast again Just boarded the "Billboard" list, but now the facts have explained everything,

Compared with actors, the requirements for the fit between singers and works are higher. This song will be popular. In addition to the bright and strong rhythm, which can resonate with young people, and the vigorous cooperation of media companies to promote it, Britney's youthful and beautiful appearance, as well as her magnetic and sweet singing voice are also indispensable. Think about it, if a black chick with a sharp voice and a habit of singing high notes were asked to sing this song, would such a result be achieved?

Now that the first shot has been fired, it is natural to continue this momentum. This is what Adrian and Norton discussed several times. The first miracle that Britney created in memory was that "Baby, Love Me Again" set a record for the most number of times on the "Billboard" list, and it took almost two years.

There is already a road ahead, and Adrian will naturally not be so stupid as to choose another one. It is actually not difficult to do this, the key lies in whether the first shot can be fired, but now the biggest problem has been solved, and the rest depends on the effectiveness of the propaganda and supplemented by some other means. Anyway, it's not the number one that has been maintained for more than two years, as long as it stays in the middle.

Adrian originally planned to make some other classic songs of Britney Spears. Although his understanding of pop music is far lower than that of movies, he has heard many classic songs, and he can recall them as long as he has heard them. But now it seems that this is not appropriate, since memory has proved that these songs are quite good, then the long stream is the correct approach.

When the latest Billboard list was released, Britney immediately became the focus of the media, and a large number of young people also became her fans. After entering February, the national signing event was officially launched. A large number of fans came to join him, and for a while he was out of the limelight among the new singers.

Adrian did not follow, although he cared about the signing, and Britney would call her everywhere, but his main energy was not on it.

The post-production of "The Matrix" has already been completed, and the rest is just publicity and waiting for release, but the post-production of "Shakespeare in Love" and "Elizabeth" is still in progress, especially after the basic editing has been completed, the rest is all up to him to make.

"It's a piece of cake, there's plenty of time." This is Adrian's reaction. These two films are going for the Oscars. Naturally, it's best to choose to release them in the last three months, so he has plenty of time to work slowly and meticulously. Even if there is still one movie to start shooting in August, there are still at least 5 months for him to squander, and he can't even finish two movies in 5 months, and there are still not many CG-produced movies, then he can take off the title of workaholic up.

Therefore, he can also spare time and energy to arrange other movies, such as the preparation of "Fight Club". For some reason, Winona readily agreed to it, which surprised Adrian slightly. But he quickly forgot about it. Dennis should be the one who should have the headache.

Then there is the preparation of "Tomb Raider". Since Rachel has been decided to play the heroine, it is more appropriate to use the "original cast". But Rachel hesitated to reject it after reading the script, and Adrian's reaction was to hug her to the bed and toss her hard until she begged for mercy.

"I just... want to think about it carefully." Rachel, who was lying on the bed, said aggrieved after recovering a little, but was immediately whipped by Adrian again.

In addition, there is also a movie that is not a huge production but definitely has enough gimmicks and has been in preparation for a while.

"In short, I invite you to come here, hoping to get to know each other so that we can fully cooperate in the shooting." Amidst the lively music, Adrian said this to the people around him.

On his left, there are three super facial paralyzed people: Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis. All three of them had sullen faces, as if no one was convinced. In its implementation, Vassinger and Bruce still smiled at the beginning, but after making eye contact with Stallone, they also became expressionless. It can be seen that Stallone is worthy of the most facial paralysis.

And on his right hand side, there are also several muscular men who are not as famous as the three big guys. Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Stephen Seagal, and Jean Reno, whom I haven't seen for a long time, because this is the work of "The Expendables" and the budget considerations , Travolta and Cage are temporarily removed from the list. If the box office is good enough to make a sequel, it's not too late to invite them.

However, there was a slightly thin figure standing among this group of people, which seemed a bit out of place. It's not that he's not strong enough, but that he's a little short in height, only 5 feet 5 inches. In the United States, where the average height is 5 feet 8 inches, he is relatively short, especially when the people around him are tall.

"How's it feeling, Searle? Can't you not be so sullen?"

"I look forward to your swing, Dwayne, you are Dwayne Johnson"

"Long time no see, Jean, to be honest, I think Luc should let you play Bruce in The Fifth Element."

Adrian chatted with them one by one, even newcomers like Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel were able to chat a few words, which made them feel a little flattered, and the little man was no exception.

"You don't seem very interested, Jeter," Adrian came to his side, "Yes, the party culture here is different from Hong Kong after all."

"That's not the case, Adrian. When I was in Hong Kong... I also attended... many parties." The other party replied in unproficient English with some stuttering.

"But it's different after all," Adrian smiled and changed into Chinese, "and you don't have any friends here for the time being."

The other party smiled, and was not surprised by his fluent and accurate Chinese, obviously he had learned it before.

"Don't worry, after this movie is released, you will have many friends here." Adrian patted him on the shoulder.

The other party hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Can you tell me why, Adrian, why did you pay a price of 10,000 yuan to invite me to play a supporting role that is not a small amount?". ..
