King of Hollywood

Chapter 221 Mind (2)

"Thank you for sending me back, Mr. Strong. It was a pleasure to know you."

"No, no, it's my honor to send you back, Miss Portman, I wish you and Mr. Cowell a better work together."

After watching the taxi leave, Natalie put away her smile, a glimmer of haze flashed in her eyes, and then sighed, then turned and entered her home.

"Honey, are you back?" Just as she opened the door, her mother's voice came over. She stood in the living room and looked at her with a smile on her face. Obviously, she had noticed the taxi outside and her daughter who came back by taxi.

"Hi Mom, it looks like your piece is finished? And it went well and exactly what you wanted, right?" Natalie responded with a smile.

"Of course." Shelly came over and touched her daughter's head, then looked outside, "What about you? You seem to be familiar with that driver?"

"One of my movie fans, we had a good chat and even signed an autograph for him," Natalie stuck out her tongue, "Your daughter is very good, Ms. Shelley, she can meet her fans wherever she goes. "

"Yes, of course," Shelley hugged her daughter, "my Nada is the best."

After a pause, she asked again: "By the way, I called Emily's house before, and she said that you left not long after you passed."

"Of course, you know, I was rushing to finish my thesis, so I went to the library to check some information. Mr. Charles said that my thesis should be more rigorous. If there are experimental results to support it, I can recommend it to a professional journal." Natalie answered very calmly, with a smug expression on her face, and there was no other emotion at all.

"That's great, your father will be happy then—he's already," Shelley said, laughing.

"Of course," Natalie sighed, "thank you, Mom."

"Ok?"

"Thank you for not saying it, maybe it will make him happier."

"Nada"

"Okay, I'm going back to my room to do my business. Remember to call me at dinner." After speaking, Natalie quickly slipped upstairs, leaving Shelly standing there alone angrily and funny.

After closing the door with a bang, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, walked to her desk in a few steps and found all the papers, then sat down and opened the materials, and began to verify and revise them repeatedly. Adrian is right. Although this paper is worthless, at most it will give those professional scholars a way out of thinking, but as long as it is published in a professional journal, it is enough for an actor.

There are very few college students in Hollywood, even fewer top students from well-known universities, and very few top students from well-known universities who have made achievements outside of acting. Heidi Lamarr, the mother of CDMA technology, can be regarded as the highest achievement of all actresses outside of acting, but the movies she starred in can never get rid of the label of "vase".

Since Natalie has chosen this path, she naturally wants to take a different and unique path. She never wants to be said to be someone's second, as long as there are other actresses called For "Natalie II", the value of this paper to her is not in its professional use, but in whether it can be published; therefore, MIT can be eliminated, and Harvard, an Ivy League school, is its own The choice is just...

The girl suddenly put down the pen, leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes, her brows were tightly frowned, the troubled feeling came to her heart again, making her not know what to do, the scene a few weeks ago was still haunting her .

"Hey, Natalie, have you ever slept with that miracle director?" A shrill voice sounded in his ear, unceremonious, and a little smug and self-righteous.

"What?" Natalie, who was sitting on the bench on the school field and reading a book, raised her head with a dazed expression, as if she couldn't hear what the other party was saying clearly.

Ever since she had a substantive relationship with Adrian, she has been doing psychological construction for herself. This kind of surprise questioning doesn't help much, but what she didn't expect was that the cheerleader would ask this question Morrison Slater, you know the two of them have nothing to do with each other.

Natalie didn't have any good friends in high school. Although she had a few good friends, they were not very close. One was because she was a well-known actress, and the other was because she studied well and was too smart. Yes, this is indeed the reason. People who study well are not very popular in American high schools—especially those public high schools. Draw an equal sign.

But while studying well, Natalie is also very smart. If she wants to show her superiority or play pranks in front of her, it is asking for trouble. In addition, she is a well-known actor who doesn't care about being excluded at all, so many girls Even if he could have a few words with her and kept a certain distance from her, it was really strange that Morrison came to her so suddenly and asked such a question.

"Okay, Natalie, although our relationship is not very good, I promise I won't tell anyone. In fact, it's not a big deal, is it?" Morrison patted her on the shoulder and gave her a smack. Sitting down beside her, he beckoned to let several followers sit down, and then looked at Natalie with a smile, pretending to be curious and asked again mysteriously: "You Have you slept with that Marvel director, Adrian Cowell?"

To be the captain of the cheerleading team, Morrison is naturally attractive. Although her facial features are ordinary, she has a good figure and she dances very well. Of course, she also has all the bad cheerleading habits, arrogant, arrogant, supercilious, leading a group of minions to run amok and fighting the quarterback of the school team.

When Natalie was in the 10th grade, she was stuck in the toilet by her, in the name of wanting to see the style of a movie star, but Natalie's understatement was "how to moderate diet to keep fit" This topic took the initiative into his own hands, and the girls were fascinated by it. When Morrison came back to his senses, there was nothing he could do to intervene to reverse the situation.

After seeing Natalie's methods, Morrison never troubled her again, not even the intersection. She still has some brains, and this situation has continued to this day.

"Why should I sleep with him?" Natalie looked puzzled.

"Oh?" Morrison squinted her eyes and looked her up and down, then showed a playful expression, "Don't tell me, you are still a virgin, Natalie."

"What the hell are you trying to say, Morrison? If you want gossip, I'm sorry, but you should have bought a copy of World News instead of asking me." Natalie shrugged.

"Well, I actually want to... well, what I want to say is..." Morrison scratched his head, "Isn't this a common phenomenon in Hollywood?"

"A common phenomenon?" Natalie frowned, shook her head and wanted to get up and leave. At first she was a little worried if this guy had heard some gossip, so she ran over to confirm it, but now it seems that it shouldn't be, so There's no need for her to continue pestering them.

"Wait, I mean..." Morrison hurriedly stopped her, then waved to one of the attendants, took a magazine from her hand, turned to a certain page before continuing: "Here Say, if you're stuck in Hollywood and you want to open up the situation, you might as well do something for the director or producer who has the power to make decisions, make them happy and entertained..."

Natalie raised her eyebrows subtly. She understood what Morrison was thinking. This cheerleader is about to graduate this year, and she obviously wants to seek greater development after liking the sound of others cheering, so ... Anyway, it is not difficult for her. Last year, a new male student transferred to another school, and quickly took the quarterback position away from the original one. Morrison immediately dumped the original one and the current one without saying a word. Hooked up, and the two are very unrestrained, it is said that someone has seen them making a fuss around the stadium at night.

A feeling of disgust arose spontaneously. Of course, she didn't show it. She just turned over the cover of the magazine in the opponent's hand calmly, then chuckled lightly, with a little disdain: ""Youth Reading Guide" ? Can you believe the words in this kind of gossip magazine?"

"Why not? Some things are exaggerated, but some things are still very useful." Morrison said with some dissatisfaction.

"Well, you have to believe that's your business. The only advice I can give you is that if you want to go to Hollywood, you'd better find a competent agent." Natalie said and stood up, " Excuse me."

She ignored these girls and strode out of the stadium, but she could still hear their voices from a distance.

"It's nothing special, but it's just a few movies."

"She must have slept with Director Miracle or someone else. She looks conservative on the surface, but she's just a bitch in private."

"Maybe Adrian doesn't like her at all. Just wait and see. When I go to Hollywood and get to know those big shots, I will definitely be more famous than her. I heard that Director Miracle is a playboy."

At the beginning, Natalie had a cold face and was very angry at the intermittent words, but she calmed down after a while, why bother to be as knowledgeable as these stupid women? It's just that some things, some things that had been put aside and ignored, floated up because of this, and began to trouble.

If this matter is really exposed or known by parents, Natalie will not deny it, and she believes that Adrian will also not deny it. He is that kind of person, as if nothing in this world can shock or scare him, only……

Natalie opened her eyes, put her elbows on the desk, covered her mouth, her face was uncertain. Of course she knew Adrian's playboy name, and the women who might be related to him, she was not a fool. But if she doesn't ask, Adrian won't talk, and if Adrian doesn't talk, she won't ask. It was possible to ignore the past before, but I'm afraid it can't be done now.

Natalie rubbed her face in annoyance, and took a deep breath. Forget it, wait, now is not a good time, let's wait for a while, maybe there will be a better choice.

Adrian didn't know what Natalie was thinking. Although he noticed the strangeness in her heart, he still couldn't figure out what she was worried and hesitating for a while. Honestly, he hated the situation, the out-of-control situation, and... that ghostly feeling that something wasn't right came back.

Forget it, let's talk about it later, you can't guess it by guessing. Adrian finally chose to shelve.

Then, he went to his uncle's house, listened to some "teaching" as usual, and was complained by his aunt because he didn't bring Lily.

"Victor doesn't even think about getting married now, let alone having children. Lily is my only granddaughter now, shouldn't you bring her to see me more?" That's what my aunt said, the old man always likes children .

"Okay, auntie, I will definitely bring her next time." Adrian replied with a smile.

I went to my uncle’s house, and the next one was the location of “America’s Next Top Model” in New York. Although this is the first season, there are not a few girls who came to participate. Generally speaking, the quality is high or low, how to judge depends on the Professionals too.

"I think No. 16 has more potential. Her sense of fashion is the most sensitive among several contestants, and she is very bold, never twitchy, and she didn't even hesitate when taking nude photos." This is Trump's judgment.

They are currently in the fitting room of a fashion magazine, and the contestants are choosing clothes that suit them under the prompts of the fashion editors.

"It's hard to say, you know, although excellent quality is an indispensable condition for success, but sometimes luck is also one of the factors that determine the outcome." Adrian replied with a smile.

"Why do I think... you mean something, Ed?" Trump raised his eyebrows.

"No, absolutely not. In fact, I think you've done a pretty good job as a judge. You should read the critics' comments on this show, right?" Adrian patted him on the shoulder, "He never Point out the other party's problems mercilessly, and sternly warn them what to pay attention to, and at the same time, there is no lack of human comfort."

"Thank you, that's my style." Trump immediately showed a smug look. As a showy and pushy person, he was very satisfied with these comments, not to mention greatly increasing his exposure in front of the media.

"So, I think you can definitely stick to the bottom line and be a qualified judge." Adrian then added leisurely.

Trump was stunned, and then shook his head with a smile. Adrian's subtext was nothing more than telling him not to have anything to do with the candidate. Once it was exposed, it would not look good.

"He underestimated me too much," Trump waved his hand in dissatisfaction, "Since I am a judge, how could I do something out of the ordinary."

But right away he added: "Even if I do, I can find a way to settle it, and it won't cause trouble to the show."

A smug look, as expected of a man, but this look was replaced immediately, because a familiar voice floated into his ears: "What are you talking about, Dad?"

"Hi, Ennie, it's nothing, something about the judges." Trump smiled and hugged his daughter.

"Really?" Ivanka looked at her father with a half-smile, "I seem to have heard the topic that number 16 seems to be good."

No. 16 is blond, blue-eyed, and tall. He is indeed the type Trump likes. He will think that No. 16 has potential, which probably has something to do with it.

"From the judges' point of view, No. 16 does have some potential, doesn't it?" Trump replied solemnly, but immediately changed the subject, "By the way, I'm planning to invite Ed to a party at home tonight .”

"Oh?" Ivanka's gaze finally fell on Adrian, and she couldn't help but raise her voice half a point when she stepped off the stage, "Hello, Mr. Adrian."

"Hello, Ivanka." Adrian nodded and stopped talking, still maintaining a polite but distanced and uninterested attitude.

Ivanka gritted her teeth involuntarily. She felt more and more disgusted by this man. He was self-righteous and coquettish. Just looking at this kind of playboy who likes to play with women makes people angry. Why would Dad contact this kind of person? superior? In fact, she also knew that at this time when no one was willing to lend a helping hand, only the man helped her father and the family was able to tide over the difficulties, but...

"By the way, Ed, I remember you said last time that you plan to find material from me to make a reality show, is that true?" After glancing at Trump, who was showing an angry expression, he opened the mouth.

"To be precise, I plan to invite you to host, if you have time." Adrian smiled and continued to ignore Ivanka's unhappy eyes.

"Of course I have time." Trump said immediately, this is an invitation from a miracle director. Although he does not have astonishing achievements in this regard, he is not as amazing as he has been in movies, but he has some TV shows that have slowed down. The shadow is behind.

"The initial idea is already in place, but it will take a while to perfect it. In addition to this period of time, the reality shows of various TV stations are emerging one after another, so that the audience is a little tired of aesthetics, so we need to take a break for a while. Currently, we are planning to launch a thousand The jubilee begins." Adrian said seriously.

"Really?" Trump was slightly disappointed, but quickly adjusted, "Then I'll just wait."

His industry has just adjusted, and he hasn't fully recovered yet, so even if he has some eagerness to try, he will put it aside for a while, and he wanted to change the subject of the previous question because his daughter didn't seem very happy.

"Don't worry, Tang, this show will be hosted by you alone, and this will be your stage alone. At that time, no matter what special things you have, just use it." Adrian laughed and patted Pat him on the shoulder.

"Then I look forward to it even more." Trump also responded with a smile, which is his favorite.

After chatting with Trump for a few more words, Adrian left to discuss and chat with others. After walking a long way, he stopped in the corner, glanced at the production site, and nodded slightly. Very good, although there are some things that are not popular, but the basic effect is there, and the ratings are not bad, as long as they keep on improving, this show will not be more popular than before.

"Mr. Adrian." A cold and displeased crisp voice rang in my ears at this moment. . ..
