Chapter 71 As expected, they all ripen early

What do you think?I mean, from your perspective, without considering our feelings, which girl is most like the Princess Mia you wrote?

After the actress who auditioned for the last time left the room, Adrian, who was sitting at the back, asked at the middle-aged woman with black-framed glasses next to her.

Please give me a few minutes to think about it.

The other party smiled, then flipped up the actress who was attending the audition. It took about a few minutes, and then she took out several copies of the information: No. 6, No. 11, No. 12 and No. 17.

so much?Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise, are you sure you are not choosing a cheerleader, Meg?

You said that it starts completely from my perspective, so in my opinion, these girls are very suitable.

Meg Cabert spread his hands, and I think it's up to you and Gary to decide, Ed.Gary is the director, and he needs to choose an actor who is more in line with his image. You, you invited me to write this novel at the beginning, so you know the most about this role, and there is no need to let me participate too.

So you are complaining that I called you here from Indiana?Adrian asked immediately.

If you want to say that...it's OK.Meg laughed.

Meg Cabert, the author of the novel "The Princess Diary", whether in the past or present life.

The difference is that in this life, Adrian asked his publishing company to find her, gave her ideas and invited her to complete the novel and released it, and then prepared to move it to the big screen. Anyway, the investment is not high and the production cycle is not that long.

The reason for this is to target Disney, just like Pirates of the Caribbean, Adrian has a complete set of plans.

It’s not that he deliberately wanted to get along with Eisner, but who made Disney the weakest among the major media groups in the front line?

What's more, AC Media has already gained a lot of benefits from Disney.

What a pity, you are not on these four, Miss.

After exchanging opinions with Gary Marshall and confirming that he had a good impression of the four girls, Adrian said with a chuckle looking through the profile of another girl.

The girl in the photo has long brown hair, big eyes, and a big mouth. She looks slightly upturned and has a very cute look. The name next to her says Anne Jacqueline Hathaway.

Yes, that's right, it was Anne Hathaway, who was called the complex of Julia Roberts and Audrey Hepburn in his previous life, and became famous for "The Princess Diary".

However, the situation of "The Princess Diary" has been postponed for almost a year, and she has published a book first and then made a movie. The audition she can still attend is Adrian who secretly lets her contact with her agent, not her initiative. There is no doubt that Adrian is very interested in her.

But it was just an interest. This was not because her family environment was good and it was not easy to train. This was just a piece of cake for Adrian, mainly because it was not very suitable for his appetite.

Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johnson are the exact opposite types. When Scarlett takes photos, he will feel very ordinary if he makes a little mistake. Maybe he thinks it is very beautiful at the beginning, but he will feel aesthetic fatigue after a little longer.

But the words she said through the camera were different. The vivid feeling was particularly attractive, and every frown and smile showed her sexy charm.

Anne is different. She looks very interesting in the photo, especially her lips and smiles, which are both naughty and a little cute, quite charming.

But if I saw her through the camera, the movie works would be fine, they were all carefully edited, but if I didn’t laugh in the show or interview, it would be fine, at most I just thought it was average, but if she laughed...

You'd better pray that you're not eating.

OK, it's a bit exaggerating to say that, but sometimes the difference is really big, Adrian has confirmed it in today's audition.

Of course, it does not prevent him from making a conclusion after trying it out, otherwise why would someone secretly contact her? Interestingly, May was not named among the four girls recognized by Ge and Marshall after the audition. However, Amanda Seyfried, who was specially found by Adria, was on the list, and there was no scene of falling off the chair in his memory. Could it be that Anne Hathaway was not interested in this role, but she was obviously a little excited and excited during the audition.

If you're sure, then we'll pick one of these four girls, Gary.After coming out of the audition room, Adrian said to the director.

Gary Marshall collaborated with Julia on "The Pretty Beauty" and "The Escape Bride" was also produced by him, so he has some friendship with Adrian.

This is your business. In my opinion, any of these four girls can do it.

Marshall, who is nearly 70 years old, has never seen any storm in Hollywood, and immediately pushed back the decision.

Well, then... Before Adrian finished speaking, a hurried figure suddenly collided with Marshall, and the sound of a woman's scream and the sound of a clicking thing falling to the ground sounded at the same time.

Yes... Sorry, Marshall...Mr. Marshall, I...I didn't mean it... The busy girl stammered, covering her forehead as if she wanted to squat down to pick up the things that fell out of the backpack she held in her hand, but she wanted to see if Marshall was fine, and her dilemma seemed a little funny.

It's okay, I'm fine.Although he was hit, Marshall just took a step back and saw that she was like this, he simply squatted down to help her pick up things.

I'm really, really sorry, Mr. Marshall, I shouldn't have walked that fast in the corridor.The girl was nagging while clumsyly packing up the things on the ground.

It doesn't matter, just remember the lessons.

Marshall said as he picked up a book, and the girl happened to catch it, and immediately pulled it to himself: Let me do it, you don’t have to worry about this.

Just a few books... Marshall was taken away before he finished speaking. He obviously didn't expect her to use such great power. The book immediately flew up and almost knocked his glasses off.

The girl was stunned and after a while, she said stutteringly with a sad face: Yes... I'm sorry, Mr. Marshall, I... I really didn't mean it...

Yes, I know, I believe you didn't mean it, please don't be so excited, okay?

Marshall, holding his glasses, looked at her with some amusement. The girl smiled embarrassedly, shrank her neck timidly, quickly stuffed the things on the ground into her bag, then lowered her head and quickly left here, completely ignoring Adrian who had been handing over the things.

I remember…she seemed to be one of the girls who came to audition before.As he stood up and watched the girl leave her back, Marshall thoughtfully, as if he was called Anne Hathaway?

Your memory is great, Gary.

Adrian, who also stood up, clapped his hands, and his casual look did not seem to take this small incident to heart. The girl is indeed called Anne Hathaway.

Marshall didn't say anything anymore, stood there with his chin pinched his chin and thought about it carefully, then looked at Adrian: I think there could be another name on the shortlist.

Anne Hathaway?Are you serious?Adrian raised his eyebrows.

Yes, I even think she's more appropriate than the other four, and if Meg saw everything just now would agree with me.

Marshall was a little excited. Do you remember how we discussed the heroine?Mia is a simple and cute girl. She is very simple and has a little inferiority complex, so she usually looks a little clumsy and her reaction will slow down. She will always make some unexpected mistakes, but she is very friendly.

He paused for a while, and after considering the words, he said: The four girls we selected were more or less inadequate in this. Anne Hathaway did even worse in the audition just now, but just now, her...showed very well fits Mia. What's even more rare is that this is not a performance, which is naturally revealed. God Ah, I almost missed a very talented girl.

So, do you think she is the most suitable candidate?Adrian asked calmly.

The decision is in your hands, Ed.Marshall immediately said, if it is just from the perspective of an actor, I think she is slightly higher in potential than others.

OK, I got it, I'll find some time to talk to her before making a decision.Adrian nodded.

To be honest, he felt a little bit unsatisfied, not because of Marshall, but because of Anne Hathaway. This was the first time that he had been ignored by a woman so thoroughly.

It's not that Adrian was stingy. It wouldn't matter if she didn't notice his existence because she was confused, but the problem is that she is not like this.

That's right, Anne Hathaway was pleasing Gary Marshall. Although she did a secret job, Marshall didn't see it, but she couldn't escape the gaze of Adrian, who had read countless women.

Because she didn't pay attention at the beginning, she couldn't tell whether she wanted to use the method of hitting people to attract Marshall's attention from the beginning, but she did it on purpose when she was rushing to pick up the book.

It seems that Miss Anne Hathaway is familiar with the script or the role, and has done enough preparations and knows to seize the opportunity to express herself. No wonder she remembers the rumors that she fell from a chair and got the "Princess Diary", but...

Why is her attention on the director?

Adrian's identity is not a secret, and all the girls who come to audition should know, and all the rumors about him should be heard by anyone who lives in Hollywood.

If Anne Hathaway really has any ideas, it should have been for Adrian. Amanda did a good job and his eyes always glanced at him inadvertently with expectations during the audition.

This is very interesting. Adrian couldn't help but think of a comment about Anne in his previous life, saying that she has the strength and means but has no vision. Whether it is to look at things or people, she can't grasp the right direction. If she didn't have some luck and connections, she might be the same as everyone else.

He originally disagreed with this. Although Anne is indeed stupid in life, which actor doesn't have several commercial movies with low box office?

This doesn't mean anything.

But now it seems that this comment is very likely to be true, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that she chose to ignore Adrian's existence even though she knew Adrian's identity and status.

Gary recommended you to me, Miss Anne Hathaway, who thinks you are more suitable for the role than others, but I don't agree, but considering that Gary is kind enough to think about the movie, I decided to talk to you.

Adrian said so after Anne Hathaway sat down in the chair.

The girl who was originally a little happy was stunned and looked at Adrian who seemed not to understand what he was saying.

Is there any problem, Miss Hathaway?Adrian asked calmly.

No, nothing, Mr. Adrian, I was just... a little flattered.

Annie then reacted. She had realized something, but she didn't fully understand it, so she had a restrained and confusing tone.

You can call me Ed, so I can call you Anne, and then our conversation can be less stiff.Adrian smiled, would you like something to drink?

No, sir... Ed.Anne said quickly, she was still very quick when changing her name.

We originally picked four young actresses from the audition list the other days, and either of them would fit well, but after meeting you, Gary insisted that you have more potential than the other four.

Adrian spoke slowly and gentlely. Although Anne sat in a chair, her simple coat and trousers gave her a girl next door feeling, and her tight and oblique legs made her look dignified and virtuous, he still captured the fleeting pride in her eyes.

But I don't agree.

Adrian immediately changed the subject. I don't think you are better than the other four, but Gary insisted on his own. Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to convince me to hand over the role here to you.

After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation and looked at her with interest.

Annie lowered her head, making people unable to see her expression, but her pursed lip line was still very obvious. Since she did this move, she should generally be aware of the problem with her judgment.

First of all, frankly speaking, Ed, as an actor, I really hope to get this role; secondly, I also believe that I can play this role well, because I have analyzed the character of this role in detail, although the script is not complete; again, I am very happy to be praised by Mr. Marshall. In fact, I was a little intentional in the end that day, and I was worried that he would be angry... After thinking about it carefully, Anne immediately raised her head and talked with a smile.

very nice.

Adrian nodded secretly in his heart while listening.

Just like after she bumped into Marshall, packed up her things in a hurry and apologized, she left very quickly, and when she was not talking too much, Marshall had made up a lot of things that were beneficial to her.

The same is true now. She first frankly said that she really wanted this role, which would give people a sincere impression; then she said that she could play well, which would make her seem very confident and thus increase her persuasion; then admitted that the busyness that day had intentional elements, and this feeling of honesty made the subsequent worry that he would be angry and became very credible.

Especially she didn't say too much, she just revealed a few keywords, and the rest needed to be supplemented by the person she talked to herself. In this way, the persuasion will be greatly enhanced. Once some cognitive determination is settled in her heart, few people will overturn it immediately. She is really smart.

If Adrian was not aware of her, and if there was no tension in her tone that caused by saying too much, most people would like her because of it.

Finally, Annie finished speaking, breathed a long sigh and waited nervously.Adrian, like at the beginning, still had no expression, just asked: Then?

This is not a simple question. Many experienced police officers will ask casually when recording confessions when the criminal finishes his or her statement. Then, if the other party is guilty, they will continue to speak involuntarily.

Here, this sentence has the same effect, the difference is that it conveys a message clearly but not obvious here: I am not satisfied.

No matter how the other party answered, it was enough for him to understand her personality.

Anne obviously did not expect this situation to happen. She opened her already big eyes, a little confused and innocent, but Adrian was not moved, but just waited quietly for her answer.

After a long time, the girl finally spoke: I can do the best in anything, anything.

Adrian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This kind of ambiguous answer that seemed to suggest something but seemed to be nothing. It was definitely not something a girl could think of, so...

Is it her mother?

It is very likely that her mother was a singer and stage actor, a singer and actor from the 1970s...

Haha, it's getting more and more interesting, then

Well, you have initially received my approval, Anne, although I still need to inform the crew of the situation, basically... this character is yours.Adrian said at the end.

Is this true?!

Annie took a deep breath and looked at Adrian in disbelief. Until he nodded with certainty, she jumped up cheering, her excited look...

Well, it's better not to mention it.

Thank you, Ed, thank you, I...I...thank you so much.The girl finally held his hand and kept saying.

Adrian guessed that she wanted to apologize for her previous behavior of focusing on Marshall, but how could such a thing be brought to the table? So she followed her mouth and kept saying thank you.

OK, Anne, that's it, I hope you can do what you say.

Adrian said meaningfully at the end.

Thinking about women's thoughts, then writing them in the palm of your hand, letting them dance to their fingers, has always been one of his favorite things to do.

Let me see, Anne Hathaway, see what kind of woman you are, are you really capable and have no vision?

Adrian said this in his heart, and then couldn't help but think of another topic.

Girls who can enter the entertainment industry and gain some popularity are indeed very precocious.
