Chapter 3 "Buffy, the Vampire Hunter" and "The Seven Deadly Sins"

Sorry, we were late and hope it didn't take too long.Adrian, who pushed the door open, said in an apology, and Sarah was no different from usual behind him.

It doesn't matter, we only had a few chats with Jos.

Hudson, the head of the TV department, immediately stood up. Even if there was any opinion, it was impossible to express it. Adrian was the boss.

And this is the first time he has been late. Although it is a little long, who has never been late?

It's better to leave it behind.

This must be Jos, hello.Adrian walked straight to the one in front of Hudson, and the man who looked almost 30 years old smiled and stretched out his hand.

Hello Ed, I'm Joss Winden, I'm so glad to see you.

The other party was a familiar person. He did not look impatient because he waited for a long time, but instead shook hands with Adrian enthusiastically.

But he was also impatient and couldn't wait to ask Adrian before he could sit down: Did you hear that you want to adapt this movie into a TV series?

I thought Robert should have made it clear.Adrian looked at Hudson with a smile.

Oh, yes, but... Wenden made a gesture and paused for two minutes, then organized the next words and sentences in his head before continuing to ask, but he had changed the question: What do you think of this movie version?

The script is good.Adrian's smile became stronger, but the director obviously did not understand the theme of the story, so he made a comedy film, which was simply a disaster.

oh?Why do you say that, Ed?Although Wenden tried his best to maintain the calmness on the surface, his hand that made the fist had betrayed his true feelings.

It has been almost a formula for petite blondes walking into dark alleys and being killed in Hollywood horror movies, and your script is clearly intended to subvert that.What else is more eye-catching than a powerful girl killing those vampires that should have been killed by men and then saving the world?

Adrian spread his hands.

Wenden lowered his head, and after a while he sighed, he grabbed his head with a smile: I knew that you shouldn't show off in front of you, you are the most sensible screenwriter, director and producer in Hollywood.

Wow, it sounds like I should be proud.Adrian laughed.

Tell the truth.Wenden laughed as he followed, OK, I will take out the script as soon as possible...

Don't worry, Jos.Adrian waved his hand and interrupted him. Not only did I want you to be responsible for the screenwriter, I also wanted you to be the producer of the TV version of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"!

Sorry, did I hear something wrong... Wen Deng was stunned for a long time before asking subconsciously. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he raised his hand meaninglessly and put it down. Obviously, he was so shocked by the news that he could not find his direction.

You heard it right, Joss, I want you to be the producer of this TV series.

Adrian continued to talk casually, you know, "Friends" we made is on the air on NBC, and we can't attract more people to make new TV series, after all, we're just getting involved in the production of TV series.

When Hudson heard the sentence "I couldn't pull out more people," he raised his head in surprise and wanted to say something, but then he woke up and swallowed the thing that was about to his mouth.

But...but I... Wenden said with a stuttering stutter, his helpless look a little funny.

Don't worry, Jos, you should have relevant experience, right?

Adrian said without caring, and we can also help from the side.This is your work, of course it should be produced by you, right?

The last sentence worked, and Wenden finally calmed down, took a deep breath and nodded: I have no reason to refuse, nor do I have no reason to not do my best, Ed, thank you.

very good.Adrian laughed, now I will introduce someone to you.

As he said that, he waved to Sarah, who had been sitting next to her since she entered the house, and then continued to say to Wenden: This is Sarah Michelle Gellar, I think she is the best candidate for the TV version of Buffy.

she?Wen Deng looked at the girl in amazement, while Sarah stretched out her hand generously: Hello, Mr. Jos.

Do you know how I thought of shooting "Buffy the Vampire Hunter" into a TV series?

Adrian continued smiling from the side, saying, "At that time, about two months ago, the company was preparing for a new movie. There was a character I thought Sarah was suitable, so he asked her to come and audition."But she didn't get the role in the end. When I comforted her, I talked a few off-topic words and learned that she had been practicing Taekwondo and had already obtained the Blue Belt.

It's already a red belt.Sarah added to the narration.

So fast?Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise. It seems that you will be able to get the black belt soon?

It’s early, it will take at least one year for the systematic practice alone, not to mention other restrictions, such as age, etiquette and cultivation.Sarah shrugged as she said.

OK, let's not talk about this for now.

Adrian waved his hand and continued to talk to Wenden. I was very curious at that time because few girls practice Taekwondo and could get the color of the belt, so I went to the Taekwondo hall where she practiced.The actual situation is quite surprising. I never thought that she could do this, especially when she jumped up and cheated. For some reason, I suddenly thought of your movie.

You mean... because Sarah practices Taekwondo, she thought of adapting...that movie into a TV series?Wenden asked in disbelief.

I know this may sound ridiculous, like a fantasy, but it is.

Adrian looked at him and said sincerely, "I don't know what's going on, so he naturally jumped out. At that time, I knew that the character of Buffy was Sarah."Then, because of a series of things, it is only now that you are contacted to start preparing.

Wenden didn't say anything anymore, and after pondering for a while, he looked at Sarah: Can you ask you a few questions, Sarah?

Oh, of course, please ask.Sarah smiled and straightened her chest.

Have you seen the movie "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"?

No, Ed showed me the script you wrote in the first place, and he thought it would help me get to know the story better.

Wow, it's amazing, so what do you think of Buffy.

The two of them started talking like this, and Adrian sat next to him without saying a word, without interfering at all.

He knew that Wenden would not refuse because he had already said it very clearly.

Even if Wenden really refuses because of this, it is not a big problem. Although the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" can become a classic and is related to Joss Wenden, who is good at describing stories related to mutants or aliens, here, no one cannot be replaced.

Since Adrian can produce "Friends" with different producers, he can naturally produce "Buffy the Vampire Hunter" as well.

Of course, Wenden would not be so stupid. If he really refuses such generous conditions, he will definitely be in his head.

A few minutes later, Wenden finished his conversation with Sarah and turned to look at Adrian: I basically have no objection, Ed.Of course, it would be even better if I could see Sarah perform her fists with her own eyes.

No problem, you will be sure to see it after you start casting a TV series.Adrian said with a big laugh.

The preparations for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" were settled, and the specific things were discussed by Hudson and Windon. Adrian immediately left the TV department and returned to his office, oh, so was Sarah.

Do you think it is appropriate for me to star in such a vampire-themed TV series?

The girl asked in confusion. She was sitting on Adrian's desk at the moment, her legs were swaying and very playful and cute.

However, she was wearing a denim skirt that had just reached her knees, and the curve of her legs was slightly larger, so she could vaguely see the unobstructed spring scenery inside.

This is different from those vampire movies or TV series in the past, my dear.

Adrian took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. In the specific classification of this TV series, it should be considered a campus youth idol vampire TV series, integrating action, comedy, and plot. It has both the life of an ordinary high school student and another life as a chosen son.

As he said that, he walked up to Sarah, holding the table with both hands against her forehead: Do you remember what I told you?I want to train you into the best idol star, and now it is just the first step.

In my memory, Sarah was able to become one of the few high-quality idol stars in the United States in the late 1990s, and the role of Vampire Hunter Buffy played a significant role.

Although the ratings of this TV series are not as good as classic works like "Friends", and the fixed audience is only a few million, it has received a lot of praise and has driven many peripheral products, such as comics, novels, games, etc., and is quite popular among teenagers.

It is precisely because of the lack of investment and the relatively stable audience that Adrian chose him as the first TV series produced after acquiring TBS. After all, TBS is still not comparable to TV networks such as NBC, and needs to catch up step by step.

Of course I remember.Sarah whispered, her eyes turning around and didn't know what she was thinking.

That's right, so playing this role well with peace of mind is to treat it as a training of acting skills.

Adrian smiled and pinched her chin. Don’t forget, I have prepared a youth idol horror movie for you in the second half of the year.

It is not easy for all TV stars, especially popular TV stars, to transform. Only Jennifer Aniston in "Friends" can be considered a success, and it would be even more difficult if you add the title of a youth idol.

However, since Adrian has prepared for Sarah in this way, he naturally has corresponding countermeasures and will never let her repeat the old path. She is now her own woman.

OK, I got it.

Sarah said as she pushed Adrian's forehead hard. Unexpectedly, not only did she not push him away, but she leaned back slightly a few times, and her hands couldn't help but hold onto the desk. At the same time, her legs also clamped Adrian's waist, and the bottoms immediately touched each other.

Hey, wasn't it enough before?Adrian said half-jokingly and half-jokingly.

Sarah's face turned red slightly, and she glared at Adrian with a angrily and didn't say anything again.

Although the space in the car was small, it was unique and exciting. The intensity was no less than in the bedroom. Both of them were very happy, but it was not easy to deal with after the end, so they arrived at the TV department a long time later.

By the way, you seem to have forgotten this.

Adrian said as he took out something white from his pocket, and swayed in front of Sarah with a smile. It would be better to change it. It would be uncomfortable if it was empty.

Don't want it, I've been in your pocket for so long.Sarah spat at him, her face becoming even more rosy.

At this moment, the knock on the door sounded, and Sarah was shocked and shrank her neck and pushed Adrian to jump off the table, but Adrian then grabbed her arm and shouted to the door: Please come in.

Ed, they already... Charlize, wearing an OL uniform, appeared in front of the two of them. When he saw the girl sitting on the table and Adrian leaning forward on the table, he frowned after noticing the white underwear in Adrian's hand, but he returned to calm down in two seconds and said in a business tone: They are all waiting for you, Ed, you have at most ten minutes.

After saying that, he turned around and walked out without waiting for Adrian to defend himself. However, when the door was closed, he used a little more force and made a loud bang, which made the two people in the room look different.

Well, I still have some things to be busy with, so… Adrian looked at Sarah a little apologetically, and… I’m sorry, I might not be able to accompany you today.

It doesn't matter, I'll go back by myself.Sarah said understandingly as she pulled La Adrian's clothes.

So this one?Adrian shook the white underwear in his hand again.

You keep it yourself.Sarah jumped off her desk, and I went out to find a supermarket to buy one.

But...I think if I do this, it means I have a perverted collection habit.Adrian said seriously, but it was indeed Sarah's eyes and grimace.

After cleaning up a little, Sarah was about to leave, but when she walked to the door, she turned around.

Ed.She looked at him, are you and Charlie... too...

Although she didn't continue, Adrian understood what she meant and nodded immediately.

I'll know.The girl shrugged, but instead looked like she had put down the big stone in her heart.

What do you know?Even Adrian couldn't help asking this question.

nothing.Sarah shook her head with a smile, Anyway, just...

Mingmèi's eyes stared at him for a few seconds, then the girl stepped forward and hugged him, closed her eyes and leaned her head against his chest for a long time.

Adrian hugged her and patted her back gently, and after a while, he said: Charlie'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, lean on your chest.If I get tired of it one day, I will leave automatically.

As he said that, the girl kissed him on the mouth and turned around and walked out.

After standing there for a few minutes, Adrian rubbed his lips, chuckled and shook his head, and walked out of his office.

I walked down the corridor to the conference room. As soon as I pushed the door in, I heard a slightly feminine voice telling a joke: A British gentleman and a French woman were on the same private room on the train. The woman wanted to seduce the gentleman, but she complained about her chills after she took off her clothes and lay down.The gentleman gave her his quilt, but she kept saying it was cold.‘How else can I help you?’ asked the gentleman in frustration.‘When I was a child, my mother always used her body to keep me warm.’.‘Miss, I can’t help this.I can't jump off the train to find your mom, right?’

His ventriloquy was quite good, imitating the frivolity of a woman and the helplessness of a gentleman vividly, which naturally attracted the laughter of several others.

Although he hadn't seen anyone yet, Adrian already knew who was telling a joke.

A good joke.He then walked to the long table in the conference room and said with a smile.

Hey Ed.

Dennis first jumped up, then Morgan Freeman came to realize that he was Tom Fisher, one of the heads of the production department, and his assistant. As for the most important two, they seemed a little restrained.

Hello Kevin, Hello David.After saying hello to Dennis and the others, Adrian held their hands enthusiastically, and was very happy to see you.

So, me, Mr. Adrian.

I'm happy to see you, sir.

The two of them replied while shook hands.

Just call me Ed, don't be so restrained. I don't think you are such people, right?Adrian said with a smile, and his relaxed posture immediately made them all relax.

Of course, Ed.

The man, who had a protruding forehead on the left and his eyes were about thirty-five or six years old, nodded and then returned to his previous state of telling jokes.

The man on the right, wearing a baseball cap, casual clothes, and beard, looked two or three years younger than him, nodded, giving people a feeling of taciturnity.

Adrian smiled slightly, exchanged glances with Dennis, Freeman and others, and then asked: So, gentlemen, what do you think of the script "The Seven Deadly Sins"?

Okay, now I don’t have to guess, that thirty-five or six-year-old man with a somewhat feminine voice is nothing but Kevin Spacey.

And the man wearing a baseball cap and bearded face is naturally David Finch.
