Vol 2 Chapter 3: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the 7 Deadly Sins

"Sorry, we're late, hoping we didn't delay too long." Adrian, who entered the door, said apologetically, and Sarah was no different from behind him.
"It's okay, we just talked with Jos." Hudson, the head of the television department, stood up immediately. Even if there was an opinion, it was impossible to express it. Adrian was the boss. And this was the first time he was late, although it took a little longer, but who hasn't been late? It's better to leave it behind.
"This must be Jos, hello." Adrian walked straight up to the one in front of Hudson. It looked like a man in his 30s or so stretched out his hand in front of a smile.
"Hello, Ed, my name is Joss Wenden, and I'm glad to meet you." The other party was familiar, and didn't look impatient because he waited a long time, but with Adrian. Holding hands enthusiastically. But he was also an acute child, and he could not wait to ask Adrian before he sat down, "I heard that you want to adapt this movie to a TV series?"
"I thought Robert should have made it clear." Adrian looked at Hudson with a smile.
"Oh yes, but ..." Wendeng made a gesture and paused for two minutes. After organizing the words in his head, he continued to ask, but he has changed the question: "You have to this movie version "
"The script is good," Adrian smiled deeper. "But the director obviously didn't understand the theme of the story, so it was a comedy. It was a disaster."
"Oh? Why do you say that, Ed?" Although Wenden tried to keep the surface calm, the fisted hand had betrayed his true feelings inside.
"For a long time, in horror movies in Hollywood, petite blondes have almost become the formula when they walk into dark alleys and get killed, and your script is obviously intended to subvert this. What could be better than a powerful girl Those vampires that were supposed to be killed by men, and then save the world are more eye-catching? "Adrian spread his arms.
Wen Deng lowered his head, sighed after a long while, and grabbed his head with a smile: "I know, you shouldn't show off in front of you, you are the most discerning ... writer, director and producer in Hollywood."
"Wow, it sounds like I should be proud." Adrian Haha laughed.
"To be honest." Wenden laughed after him. "Well, I'll get the script out as soon as possible ..."
"Don't worry, Jos," Adrian waved his hand and interrupted him. "I will not only put you in charge of the screenplay, but I will also make you the producer of the TV version of Buffy the Vampire Hunter"
"Sorry, did I hear something wrong ..." Wen Deng lingered for a long time before he asked subconsciously, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he raised his hands meaninglessly and dropped, apparently shocked by the news. Direction.
"You're right, Jos, I want you to be the producer of this TV series." Adrian went on with his spare time. "You know, our" Friends "is on the air and can't find more To produce new TV series, after all, we are just getting involved in TV series production. "
When he heard the phrase "No more hands can be drawn", Hudson looked up in amazement and wanted to say something, but then he woke up and swallowed the things to his mouth.
"But ... but I ..." Wenden said stupidly, his helpless look a little funny.
"Don't worry, Jos, should you have relevant experience, right?" Adrian said indifferently. "And we can also have people assist. This is your work, of course, it should be made by you, not ?"
This last sentence worked, and Wenden finally calmed down and nodded after taking a deep breath: "I didn't refuse the reason, and I have no reason to go all out, Ed, thank you."
"Very good," Adrian laughed. "Now I'll introduce someone to you."
Saying that he beckoned Sarah, who sat quietly by the side since entering the house, waited until she came over and continued to say to Wendon: "This is Sarah Michelle Gellar, I think She is the best candidate for the TV version of Buffy. "
"She?" Wendeng looked at the girl a little bit, and Sarah reached out her hand generously. "Hello, Mr. Joss."
"Do you know how I thought about making" Buffy the Vampire Slayer "into a TV series?" Adrian smiled and continued. "At that time, about two months ago, the company was preparing a new movie. I think Sarah is very suitable for the role, so I asked her to audition. But she did n’t get the role in the end. When I comforted her, I talked a few digressions and learned that she has been practicing taekwondo and she has got the blue belt. . "
"It's a red belt now," Sarah added in a narration.
"So fast?" Adrian raised an eyebrow in surprise. "It doesn't take long for you to get the black belt?"
"Early, it takes at least a year to practice systematically, not to mention other restrictions, such as age, etiquette, etc." Sarah shrugged.
"Okay, don't say this anymore." Adrian waved and continued to talk to Wenden. "I was curious at that time, because very few girls went to practice taekwondo, and they could get the color of the belt. So I went to the Taekwondo Pavilion where she practiced. The actual situation was quite surprising. I didn't think she could do this, especially when she jumped and split her legs very powerfully. I do n’t know why, I suddenly Think of your movie. "
"You mean ... because Sarah was practicing taekwondo, she thought about adapting that movie to a TV series?" Wenden asked incredulously.
"I know this sounds ridiculous, like heaven and earth, but it's true." Adrian looked at him sincerely, "I don't know what happened, so I jumped out naturally, then I knew that Buffy's character was Sarah. And then, because of a series of things, I haven't reached you until now to prepare. "
Wendeng didn't speak any more, and after a long groan, looked at Sarah: "Can I ask you a few questions, Sarah?"
"Oh, of course, please." Sarah smiled and raised her chest.
"Have you seen the movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer?"
"No, Ed showed me the script you originally wrote. He thought it would help me better understand the story."
"Wow, that's amazing, so what do you think of Buffy?"
The two talked like this, Adrian sat silently next to him without any interference. He knew Winden wouldn't refuse, because his words were clear enough. Even if Winden really refuses because of this, it is not a big problem, although the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Hunter" can become a classic, and Joss Winden, who is good at describing stories about mutants or aliens, is not a producer It doesn't matter, but no one can be replaced here.
Since Adrian can produce "Friends" with different producers, naturally he can also produce "Buffy the Vampire Hunter". Of course, Winden wouldn't be so stupid. In the face of such excellent conditions, if he really refused, it would be water in his head.
A few minutes later, Wenden ended his conversation with Sarah and turned to look at Adrian: "I'm basically out of opinion, Ed. Of course, it would be better if Sarah could show her fists. . "
"No problem, when you start casting for the TV show, you will see it." Adrian laughed.
The preparations for "Buffy the Vampire Hunter" were settled. The specific things should be discussed by Hudson and Wendon. Adrian then left the television department and returned to his office. Oh, Sarah too.
"Do you think it's appropriate for me to star in a TV series about vampires?" The young girl asked, puzzled. She was sitting at Adrian's desk at the moment, and her legs were very playful and cute. However, she was wearing a denim skirt just to her knees, and her legs flickered slightly, so that she could peek into the unobstructed spring inside.
"This is different from the previous vampire movies or TV shows, dear," Adrian took off his coat and hung it on a hanger. "If this TV show is specifically classified, it should be considered the campus youth idol vampire TV series, which includes action, comedy, The plot is one, with both the life of an ordinary high school student and another life as a son of heaven. "
As he walked up to Sarah, she propped her hands on the table against her forehead: "Remember what I said to you at the beginning? I want to make you the best idol star, and now it is just the first step . "
The Sarah in memory can become one of the few high-quality idol stars in the United States in the late 1990s, and the role of the vampire hunter Buffy played a big role. Although the ratings of this TV series are not as good as classic works like "Friends", and the fixed audience is millions, it has received a lot of praise and has driven many peripheral products, comics, novels, games, etc., among young people. Has a very high popularity.
It is also because of the small investment and the relatively stable viewing audience that Adrian chose it as the first TV series produced after the acquisition of TBS. After all, TBS can't be compared with other TV networks after all, and it needs to be stepped up step by step. .
"Of course I remember." Sarah whispered, her eyes turning around without knowing what she was thinking.
"That's right, so to play this role with peace of mind is to hone your acting skills," Adrian smiled and squeezed her chin. "Don't forget, I also prepared for you in the second half of the year A youth idol horror movie. "
All TV stars, especially popular TV stars, are not easy to change. The six people in "Friends" are also Jennifer Aniston. If you add the name of a youth idol, More difficult. However, since Adrian has prepared for Sarah in this way, she naturally has corresponding countermeasures. She will definitely not let her "repeated the old way." She is now her own woman.
"Okay, I see." Sarah said, pressing Adrian's forehead. Not only did he not push him back, but he leaned back a few degrees instead, and he couldn't help his hands on the desk. At the same time, his legs also caught Adrian's waist, and they immediately met together.
"Hey, wasn't it enough before?" Adrian said half-jokingly.
Sarah's face turned slightly red, and Adrian stared at him strangely before saying a word. Although the space in the compartment is small, it should not have a taste and excitement. The intensity is no less than that in the bedroom. Both of them are very happy, but they are not easy to handle after the end, so they arrived at the TV department for a long time.
"By the way, you seem to have forgotten this." Adrian said as he pulled out the same white thing from his pocket, and smiled and shook him in front of Sarah. "It's definitely not comfortable to put it in the air."
"Just don't. It's been so long in your pocket." Sarah took a sip and his face became ruddy.
At this moment, the knock on the door rang, and Sarah flinched her neck and shoved her tears as she tried to jump off the table, but Adrian grabbed her arm and shouted at the door. "Please come in."
"Ed, they're already ..." Charlize in OL uniform appeared in front of the two, and noticed the young girl sitting at the table and Adrian leaning forward on the table, noticing that Adrian's white underpants frowned, but calmed down after two seconds and said in a business tone: "They are already waiting for you, Ed, you have up to ten Minutes. "
After waiting for Adrian's explanation, he turned around and walked out, but with a bit more energy when closing the door, a loud bang made the two people in the room look different.
"Well, I have something to do, so ..." Adrian looked at Sarah apologetically. "And ... I'm sorry, I may not be able to accompany you today."
"It's okay, I'll go back by myself." Sarah said La Adrian's clothes empathically.
"So this?" Adrian shook the white underpants in his hands again.
"You keep it yourself." Sarah jumped off her desk. "I'll just go to a supermarket and buy one."
"But ... I think if I do this, it's tantamount to a pervert collection." Adrian said with a sense of jealousy, but it turned out that Sarah's eyes and grimace were indeed in exchange.
After packing a little, Sarah was about to leave, and turned around when she came to the door.
"Ed," she looked at him, "you and Charlie ... isn't it ..."
Although she did not continue, Adrian had already understood her meaning and nodded immediately.
"I'll know." The girl shrugged, instead letting down the look of the big rock in her heart.
"Know what?" Even Adrian couldn't help asking this.
"Nothing," Sarah smiled and shook her head. "Anyway ..."
Bright eyes gazed at him for a few seconds, and then the girl came forward and hugged him, closing her eyes and resting her head on his chest for a long time. Adrian hugged her and patted her back gently, only a moment before she said, "Zhali's situation is a little different ..."
"It doesn't matter," Sarah interrupted him, raised her head and smiled. "As long as I can still hold you and lean against your chest. One day if I get tired, I will leave automatically."
Talking, the girl kissed on his mouth, turned and walked out. After standing there for a few minutes, Adrian rubbed his lips, shook his head with a smile, and walked out of his office.
I walked down the corridor to the conference room. As soon as I pushed in the door, I heard a slightly soft voice telling a joke: "An English gentleman and a French woman are sharing a box on the train. The woman wants to seduce the gentleman. She When she undressed and lay down, she complained of coldness. The gentleman gave her the quilt, but she kept saying cold. 'How can I help you?' The gentleman asked in frustration. 'I When I was a kid, my mother always used my body to heat me. '.' Miss, I can't help it. I can't jump off the train to find your mother, right? '"
His oral skills are quite good, mimicking the frivolity of a woman and the helplessness of a gentleman, naturally attracting the laughter of several others. Although he hadn't seen anyone, Adrian already knew who was telling the joke.
"Good joke," he said, laughing as he walked to the long table in the conference room.
"Hey, Ed." Of course, Dennis jumped first, and then Morgan Freeman reacted, followed by Tom Fisher, one of the production directors, and his assistant. The most important thing was The other two looked somewhat restrained.
"Hello, Kevin, hello, David." After greeting them with Dennis, Adrian took their hands with enthusiasm, "I'm glad to meet you."
"Me too ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Mr. Adrian."
"I'm glad to meet you too, sir."
The two answered while shaking hands.
"Just call me Ed. Don't be so constrained, I don't think you are like this, do you?" Adrian said with a smile, and his relaxed attitude immediately relaxed them all.
"Of course, Ed." The man on the left with a prominent forehead and a slender, almost thirty-five or six-year-old man nodded, and then returned to his joke-like state. The man on the right, wearing a baseball cap, casual clothes, and a beard that looked two or three years younger than him, nodded, giving a sense of silence.
Adrian smiled slightly and exchanged glances with Dennis, Freeman and others, and then asked, "So gentlemen, what do you think of the script of the Seven Deadly Sins?"
Well, now you do n’t need to guess. I know that the thirty-five or six-year-old man with a somewhat feminine voice has no one other than Kevin Spacey. And a man with a beard and a beard wearing a baseball cap is naturally David Finch.
