King of Hollywood

Chapter 169 Manipulation from Behind

Isn't it just a little famous? There is nothing to be proud of. Blake, who was applying lip balm on his pink lips in front of the mirror, thought a little angrily. Of course, this kind of contempt and contempt is just self-consolation. Although the previous rumors have caused some harm to Leighton, because of that star status, coupled with the same dressing and dressing, maybe he can't be like Blake since he was a child. Compared with the girls who go around in middle-class families, it is enough to attract some people.

What that bitch can do, I can do too! After finishing the makeup, Blake turned around in the mirror with his hands on his hips, and his blond hair like big waves was hanging down smoothly. Although it was said that her face was a bit mature, it just gave her an extra touch of amorousness in her youthfulness. In what way am I not as good as that bitch Leighton? Isn't it just the advantage of being a star? As long as I become a well-known actor myself, let's see what else that bitch can hold on to!

In Black's view, Leighton was able to turn around amid the rumors because she was a relatively well-known actor. This is both her strength and her weakness. As long as she has the same conditions, she can be easily dumped. behind. Therefore, when she learned that "Summer of Jeans" was about to be adapted into a movie, and someone persuaded her father to let her audition, she immediately jumped out and said that she really wanted to go.

Blake loved the novel, which came out last year, and so did her female friends and classmates, so although she had previously taken a role in a film directed by her father, she had decided not to pursue acting until high school . But after hearing "Summer of Jeans", it is still unavoidable to be moved. And this best-selling book is very popular among school girls. If she can play a role in it, it will be enough for her to compete with Leighton in school. Why not be able to star in a movie she likes and beat her opponents? Woolen cloth?

Moreover, Blake's ambitions are not great. She learned privately through her father that the heroine of this movie is likely to be Alexis Bledel, um, the starring role of "Gilmore Girls". After knowing the news. Black still laughed secretly in his heart. It looked quiet, cute and playful on TV, but in fact... as a child born in the entertainment industry, even though Black was young, he still understood some things under the influence of his ears and eyes. .

That being the case, it is of course impossible for her to compete for the heroine, so the main goal is to put on the other three girls, no matter which one she gets, she will achieve her goal.

Arranging clothes again. After confirming that there were no obvious flaws, Black smiled triumphantly, turned around and was about to leave. At the same time, the bathroom door opened, and a girl about her age walked in, wearing high boots and a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater. Wearing a pink scarf and a white lotus leaf hat, she is youthful and elegant at the same time, but most importantly, this girl Blake knows.

"Leighton?" Black looked at him slightly in surprise.

"Blake?" Leighton raised his eyebrows but showed no other expression. It seemed that she was not surprised by her presence here, "Nice to meet you."

After saying this in a lazy tone, Leighton immediately passed her by, walked to the sink, took out the cosmetics she carried with her from her handbag, and touched up the makeup on the mirror, as if Blake was insignificant.

"Are you here... are you here for an audition?" Black couldn't help asking even though he wanted to walk away.

"Of course." Looking at Black in the mirror. Leighton chuckled, "Looks like you too?"

She immediately turned around and looked at her with a hint of sarcasm, which made Blake feel quite uncomfortable, but before she could refute, Leighton spoke again: "Unfortunately, you may want the white robe There you go, Blake."

Black was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Really? You are really good at talking big, Leighton. People who talk too much are easily abandoned by everyone once they are exposed."

"I'm not talking too much, Blake," Leighton leaned in front of Blake, the mockery on his face became more and more undisguised, ""Summer of Jeans" has four female characters, and all four of them have been decided. One is mine, today's audition is just a formality, by the way, to prepare for the future publicity, only a fool like you would think that he has a chance."

Black narrowed his eyes: "You think I'll believe that, Leighton?"

"It doesn't matter, it's up to you whether you believe it or not." Leighton didn't say much, showing Black's usual contemptuous expression, raised his chin and walked straight out. This sure attitude made Black stunned for a while.

Impossible, she's just scaring me! The girl took a deep breath and said loudly to herself in her heart. Even so, there was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

Soon this anxiety was confirmed. After Thanksgiving, the results of the audition finally came out, and Blake Lively was not on the list. After hearing the news, her face suddenly turned a little pale. Although her father repeatedly comforted her and told her that it was no big deal, it was just a small setback, but it still couldn't make her feel better.

Especially when Blake got the cast list with great difficulty, his eyes passed over Alexis Bledel, Amanda Seyfried, Megan Fox, and then stopped on Leighton Meester. Wrinkled together, as if someone had slapped her hard, her face flushed red. Returning to school after the holiday, facing Leighton's contemptuous and condescending eyes, Black felt a crushing defeat for the first time, and his pride and restraint all the time began to crumble.

Why? ! She couldn't help shouting in her heart, why on earth is this? !

Why? Of course it was because someone was manipulating it from behind. Adrian had promised Leighton to help her clean up Black, so how could he not keep his words? Coincidentally, after returning from China, he finally managed to put Jennifer Connelly and Alexis Bledel on the bed together, staged a scene that has not been seen in life so far, and defiled Alexis Bledel by the way. Pair of beautiful blue eyes.

Since she played others like this, she and Connery were asked to play their roles in "Gilmore Girls". It is necessary to give some benefits, so Adrian adapted "Summer of Jeans" published by his company last year into a movie, and let Alexis play the leading role. Anyway, she is also famous in movies. This character is the most impressive.

Then, the novel was turned into a movie with four girls in the main characters, so in addition to Alexis, Amanda and Megan were added. Adrian originally wanted to consider letting Jessica come in contact with Megan, but she has already played the role of an intelligence agent in "The Bourne", and she will soon be the invisible woman in "Fantastic Four" It would be inappropriate to play the role of a high school student. So after much deliberation, I still gave it to Amanda.

Although they are all a little younger, this is a story about high school students, and the acting skills don't need to be very good. Being a little younger is also in line with Adrian's strategy of attracting young audiences.

As for the fourth role, the one played by Blake Lively in the original, was given to Leighton Meester. Afterwards, under the condition of secrecy, they pretended to hold an audition, and asked Blake to participate in a roundabout way. So there was that scene in the bathroom.

The end result is that after Thanksgiving at school, Leighton, who was elated in front of Blake, served Adrian with all her heart and soul in different ways, even doing various bold and even dangerous behaviors without hindrance, such as In the corner of the dimly lit ballroom, Adrian was intimately lingering.

But for Adrian. This is not the biggest gain, Litton has already been tightly held in his hands, even if he does not reach this level this time, sooner or later he will give all of himself completely, the last time he was with Yukie It is the best proof. So little Megan is Adrian's biggest gain.

Speaking of which, although Megan looks very hot and sexy, especially when she sat on him for the first time and tried to twist her small waist that day in the middle of the casting scene, the charm she showed Almost indescribable. Even so, deep down. In fact, she is still a little woman, longing for a man's love and a shoulder to lean on.

Maybe she didn't realize it herself, and she seemed to be very independent, but the body can't lie, especially the body immersed in pleasure. This is actually quite normal. As I said before, she has been excluded by others since she was a child. At first, it was because she didn't look very good, but later, because she looked too hot, she was exactly the same as Jessica.

This resulted in a serious inferiority complex, and the inferiority complex made her close her heart, especially when she finally became a model, but was eliminated a few years later because of her height, and finally had to change careers, which became even more serious, so she tried her best Want to show a feeling of being different in front of people. She is already hot and attractive, and when she is running between various TV dramas, her characters are all vase types. In addition to showing her figure, she still shows her figure. Although she has attracted the attention of many people, many young people Everyone was vying to strike up a conversation with her, but unfortunately no one cared about her inner world.

This situation continued until the appearance of Adrian. He was well prepared and he had various means of dealing with women. He easily opened Megan's heart at Downey Jr.'s party, and everything he did after that was nothing more than Keep expanding this gap, and keep instilling the concept of "give me everything you have, and you don't have to worry anymore".

The result is obvious, otherwise Megan would not have been caught by him in the room when he went to audition for "Summer of Jeans" and executed on the spot. Afterwards, biting her lips, the appearance of a little woman biting her lip and walking with a slight limp made her very cute. When sending her back, she even used the excuse that he hurt her so she couldn't sit in the seat, and crawled shamelessly on the back seat. stand up.

"You'll always be good to me, won't you?" Meghan asked in a weary voice as she climbed on top of Adrian after recovering and having another fight.

"Of course, my little Megan." Adrian said, stroking her smooth back.

Who knows, Megan snorted: "You playboy has so many women, why should I trust you?"

"I do like chasing women, chasing those attractive women, but I will take care of those women who need my care." Adrian smiled and pressed the girl under him and kissed her, making her whole body weak.

As good as it was going, prying open and occupying Meghan's heart, it would take time to get her all in his hands. Although Megan knew that he was a playboy and had affairs with many women, he didn't know what position these women had by his side. After all, unlike Sarah, Scarlett, and Leighton, Megan's family is basically intact. Although her parents divorced when she was a child, her stepfather was very strict with her-this is very similar to Jessica.

In fact, Megan is very similar to Jessica on the whole, except that if Jessica hadn't been accidentally shot, she would have to succumb to Adrian's "prestige"—of course. Even if she wants to go now, she won't go - I don't know what will happen now. And the little woman has a characteristic. Although she relies on men, she also likes to cling to men. After the relationship between the two developed further, Megan called him five or six times almost every day, and there was nothing important.

"I just want to hear your voice." She said coquettishly on the other end of the phone.

As the secretary in charge of transferring calls, Ivanka did not use this kind of thing to tease or even mock him. The other women were somewhat dissatisfied because of this. Fortunately, it was Thanksgiving later, which made Adrian somewhat relieved.

In this case, if Megan knew that so many women were in his collection, and she was one of them, it was hard to say how she would react. Once the little woman gets into the horns, it will be a very exciting thing, so Adrian needs to continue to influence her subtly.

Putting this aside for now, Thanksgiving is as lively as ever. Lily, who has already gone to school and started to take the lead in the school, has begun to have the demeanor of a child king. Instigated 3-year-old Deva, Juliet, 2-year-old Mary and 1-year-old Eleanor to jump up and down to play around. Ma also listens to her instructions.

It seems that she is addicted to it, and she doesn't know what she will do in the future, inherit the company? It's hard to say, Adrian won't leave too much property to his children, and he won't have his own career without training. If the children can't with the connections he has, then...

After Thanksgiving, another new commercial masterpiece is about to be released, that is "Pirates of the Caribbean" invested by Miramax. The Weinstein brothers set out a budget of 140 million for this film, which is the first time in the history of Miramax. It is precisely because of such a large budget that Harvey Weinstein constantly supervises the progress of the film. Hurrying to release it this year, even if Adrian told him that it might be better next year, Miramax is famous, but it is still inferior to the seven major film companies in terms of funds.

"I just hope that the audience will like it. As long as they like it, everything is fine. Will the audience really like it?" After walking the red carpet and entering the theater, Weinstein began to nag to Adrian, completely He didn't have the appearance of praising the movie with eloquence when facing a group of reporters before.

"Hey, Harvey, you don't usually look like this. You are full of energy anytime, anywhere, as if there is no peak that you can't climb. How did you become like this now?" Adrian asked half-jokingly.

In fact, it is quite normal. After all, an investment of 140 million yuan is not a child's play. Even if it is the seven major film companies, if they lose money, they will have to hurt their muscles and bones. Not to mention the second-tier Miramax, it is no wonder that Harvey Weinstein will This is it.

"You don't have to do that, Harvey," Adrian laughed, "You've seen the reviews of the film critics' previous screenings, most of them were praises, and you also think that whether it's John, Jeffrey, or Hope Chris, Kayla, the performances are very good, and the whole movie is very interesting."

"However, some people think that this is a messy magical movie. It seems that it wants to integrate many things into one, but it is a bit neglected." Weinstein said reflexively.

"When did you become so pessimistic, Harvey?" Adrian asked jokingly, then walked a few quick steps and patted the shoulder of a person standing in front chatting with his friends: "Hey, John, there is Critics said you were exaggerated, like a funny clown, which made the whole movie look funny, what do you think?"

"Do I need to care what they say?" Johnny Depp turned around and gave a standard Depp answer.

"See, Harvey." Adrian then smiled at Weinstein.

"Okay, okay, I'm just a little nervous. After all, I've been busy for so long, and now it's finally going to be released. It's like giving birth." Facing Depp, as well as Heath Ledger and Geoffrey Rush , Gore Verbinski, Jerry Bruckheimer and other actors, directors and producers, Weinstein is also not good at saying that actors and film company owners are different.

"It's as if you have given birth to a child." Adrian teased unceremoniously, which immediately attracted everyone's laughter.

"Let's not talk about this, can we?" Weinstein spread his hands helplessly.

Seeing this, Adrian let him go, turned his attention to the actors, exchanged pleasantries with Depp and Jeffrey respectively, and then he looked at Ledger: "How do you feel, Hope?" Si? I heard that your swordsmanship is very good, and you almost caught the famous Captain Jack Sparrow."

This is not only teasing the plot of the movie, but also the shooting situation. Because the movie needs it, several leading actors need to practice swordsmanship, and the crew specially invited a swordsmanship master to teach them. Among them, Heath's swordsmanship is the best. Although it is still mostly showy, he has a good appearance and style, and even the swordsmanship master praised him.

Depp was inevitably a little unconvinced, and the two had a friendly match after filming. Although their swordsmanship was not the same, Ledger had a clear advantage thanks to his previous hard training. If Depp hadn't played a trick, Just like Sparrow in the movie, Ledger will definitely not be able to win.

So after that, "Almost caught the famous Captain Jack Sparrow" became a joke for the crew to tease the two of them. (to be continued..)
