King of Hollywood

Indeed, after Johnny Depp became famous through "A Nightmare on Elm Street", he became a representative of bad boys in Hollywood because of his wild and uninhibited life, and thus attracted many innocent little girls. He got involved in at least 4 lawsuits throughout the 90s. Although he worked happily with Tim Burton, he was always in an embarrassing state of being half-red and half-white. It was not until he was lucky enough to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean" that he was completely relieved. It became very popular, and at the same time, it successfully entered the 20 million club.

Speaking of it, it is normal to have a quarrel because of a woman in a bar, and then punch each other. Celebrities are also human beings, and Adrian has no ill feeling towards Depp. But since he has chosen to live under the spotlight, he must pay the corresponding price. Yes, bad boys are cool and admired by young people, but if they cannot be recognized by more people, they will never be on the stage. If you want to change it at this time, it will take several years. Drew Barrymore is one of the examples.

Since Adrian has decided to support Dennis because of a series of things, he naturally does not want him to spend more than ten years to understand what can and cannot be done like Johnny, so he took this opportunity to beat him a little bit. Take him down—probably it has nothing to do with him being a calm and rational person himself.

"Yes, I understand." Dennis nodded honestly.

"Do you really understand?" Adrian asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I know what you mean, Ed. As a public figure, you need to be conscious of being a public figure. Because I'm just emerging now, I need to pay more attention to these." Dennis said.

"Very well, my vision is indeed right." Adrian smiled with his hands crossed.

Although Dennis didn't finish his sentence, he knew that the other party had indeed understood what he meant. People who had tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships and experienced the disillusionment of their dreams really knew the importance of opportunities.

"Then that's it, but the matter of you getting this role is kept secret for the time being, let Roger find a way to calm down these messages." Adrian said at this time.

Although being jealous in a bar is not a big deal, he still decided to be cautious. Besides, with Roger's ability, he should be able to settle this kind of thing for Dennis, which is what the agent does.

"I see." Dennis nodded immediately, and Adrian followed with a weird smile: "Of course, I fully support you in pursuing the woman you want. Don't worry, bring out your charm."

If he had known that Dennis was aiming for Winona, Adrian would have taught him more that day than just talking about it in general. The golden boy and the jade girl have a foot in the middle. Adrian originally wanted to see what Dennis could do, but unexpectedly got a big surprise. It seems that he still has some potential, and he doesn't know what will happen next.

After temporarily resolving this matter, Adrian focused on other aspects. For example, the novel version of "Tomb Raider" was ready to be published. This time I’m still working with Ben Arndt. This second-rate writer still has some expertise in adventure and horror novels, so it’s perfect for him to complete the world constructed by Adrian. People cooperate very well.

Because of the same problems as "Resident Evil", the sales of the novel version of "Tomb Raider" may not be much higher, but after all, such female versions of Indiana Jones' adventure novels are rare, and if they are done properly, they should be sold. Better than Resident Evil. Here I have to praise Ben Arndt. Although this man’s novels are not very good, he has done a solid job in textual research. He has read a lot of Peruvian materials and legends of Atlantis, and will These details are well filled into the novel.

If his writing is tempered, he can be used as a training object, Adrian thought after watching the revised version of "Tomb Raider". "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" are both series, and although the sales volume is not good, they are still profitable. In this case, they can continue to squeeze out the remaining value. Adrian certainly doesn't have much time, so it's better to provide the outline by himself, and then let Ben Arndt write it, and just change the sharing contract, and he doesn't care about such little royalties.

But "The Matrix" can't be like this. First, Ben Arndt is not suitable for writing science fiction novels. In his hands, he might complete an adventure novel or horror novel dressed in science fiction; For many things in the future, it is undoubtedly stupid to share copyright with others. So it's better to revise by yourself. Anyway, there are still a few years left, and it will be completed if you revise a few sentences every day, isn't it?

In addition, Adrian was busy with other things before he turned his attention to casting. This time, the news was released through internal channels. The media did not know the specific situation. In addition, this is not the Internet age after a few years, and Adrian deliberately kept a low profile in front of people outside the circle, so he cast the new movie. The news is not known to outsiders.

Even so, nearly a thousand boxes of videotapes were mailed to the company, and there were many second- and third-tier actors' agents who came to recommend them, and even some quasi-tier-one actresses also went to the lobby through other channels. After all, Adrian is in the circle. The reputation is already quite well-known. Truth be told, this would only be more spectacular if the previous three movies hadn't had so few outstanding female characters.

David Michelold, who was in charge of the casting, strictly followed the criteria given by Adrian. First, more than half of them were eliminated through video tapes, and then some were eliminated through telephone contact. The clips of the actors were recorded and handed over to Adrian, the director and producer, and the rest is up to him.

"How many more? 40?" After watching the video for a long time, Adrian pinched the bridge of his nose and asked wearily.

After getting an affirmative answer, he paused the TV screen to signal everyone to take a rest. After getting a cup of coffee for himself, Adrian shook his head and sighed. Although there were less than half of the 100 actors in the initial audition, there were only three who were eye-catching, and they basically met the requirements.

Do we have to go to Uma Thurman in the end? Adrian shook his head. He walked back to the table in a few steps, frowning again and flipped through the files of those actresses. In Hollywood, no one is irreplaceable, he just hasn't found it yet.

After flipping through these files several times, Adrian shrugged and was about to continue watching the video tape, but just as he turned around, he suddenly thought of something, picked up the last file and flipped through it, a strange look appeared on his face. across.

"David, do you have any impression of this woman?" Adrian raised the file in his hand to Michel Ode.

"Hmm... yes, an Italian woman with a good temperament and a good figure. She has worked as a model." Michelold looked at the file and nodded.

"Find her video tape." Adrian said immediately, his eyes lingering on the name of the file for a long time.
