While Sarah was struggling in her room, Adriaan, who was driving home, was also thinking about how to deal with today's matter. The matter of packaging her as a high-quality idol was decided a long time ago. Now it was just brought forward, and this was originally her path to fame. Besides, there were several suitable movies, and there was also a small accident. As long as the awkward period of her age was over, as long as there were no accidents, it should not be a problem for Sarah to become famous.
So now what troubled Adriaan was Sarah herself. Admittedly, Sarah's feelings for her mother were touching, and the exhaustion and shame that she revealed after persevering was also very pitiful, but that didn't mean that he would change his mind and let Sarah go.
Doing what he wanted to do, wasn't this his biggest wish after his rebirth? If at first, he only had the desire to cultivate and collect Sarah, then after several contacts, he had somewhat liked this stubborn and independent girl. Especially the kind of determination she showed in the office today, it was very tempting. Besides, she had already made such an obvious hint, and he had agreed. Did she want to go back on her word?
However, it was easy to get her body, but it was difficult to get her heart. Although everyone had weaknesses, and although everyone in this circle revolved around fame and fortune, Sarah did this more for her mother. If he wanted to control such a girl in his hands, he had to put in some effort.
There were many ways to please a woman. For example, it was usually said to rely on coaxing, but coaxing was not the same as cheating. If it was just a one-night stand or a few night stands, naturally, he could lie. But if he wanted to get the other party's long-term feelings, it was absolutely stupid to use deception. Some things could be regarded as private secrets, but they could not be denied.
Because of this, when Kate asked Adriaan if he had slept with Drew and Monica, Adriaan did not hesitate to admit it. In his opinion, it was much better to tempt people with benefits and power than to cheat.
Forget it, I'll think about it later. Anyway, the future is long. Thinking so, Adriaan temporarily put this matter in the back of his mind. Then, the brick-like phone on the side rang at the right time.
"Hello, who is this?" Adriaan picked up the phone and complained in his mind about the caller ID.
"Eide, it's me. I have something to talk to you about." The voice of his agent, Roger, came from the other side.
"Really? What's up?" Adriaan asked in a relaxed tone. He was both Roger's employer and Roger's boss, so even though Roger called him by his name, he always maintained a cautious tone. Therefore, every time Adriaan talked to him, whether on the phone or in person, he would always use a relaxed tone to show that he could be at ease.
"Laffer and I just talked on the phone. After exchanging our opinions, we agreed that you can consider going on a few talk shows to increase your exposure so that we can have better public relations." Roger said simply.
"Okay, but I don't have time for the next few days. How about this weekend?" Adriaan asked after thinking for a few minutes.
"No problem, I'll arrange it." The other party agreed immediately.
"Then … if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm driving." Adriaan wanted to ask something else, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to.
This was going all out, wasn't it? But then again, he really didn't do enough in this area. If it was another director, he probably wouldn't need the agent's reminder to start going to parties and cocktail parties. Adriaan rubbed his chin as he drove, then shrugged with a chuckle. After all, he was different from other directors. In addition to being a director, he was also a producer and a boss — the boss of AC Media. He had to pay more attention to things than other directors.
However, it didn't matter if he participated in the shows. Although there were fewer directors on talk shows than actors, it didn't mean there were none, right? Coppola, Lucas, Spielberg, and even Adriaan participated last year. This wasn't a big deal. Who asked him to be in the limelight now? Six direct nominations, six of which were related to him. This was not only unprecedented in the history of the Oscars, but it would also be unprecedented in the future. One could foresee how the media would pursue him in the future.
Of course, before that, there was one thing he had to do first. This was also the reason why he delayed the arrangements for the show until the weekend. This matter made Adriaan very curious, so much so that he wanted to participate in it personally. That was: the interview!
The spacious hall seemed even more spacious due to the lack of furnishings. Behind the long table placed horizontally at the head of the hall, three men in suits and leather shoes were discussing something with their heads lowered. Sitting on a chair not far away, a similarly well-dressed man was nervously waiting for the other party's conclusion. The bright sunlight shone in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room particularly bright.
"Thank you for your interview, Mr. Eckhardt. We will inform you if there's any news," the interviewer in the middle said after the discussion.
"Thank you, Mr. Roddick, Mr. Kane, and Mr. Kewell." The man nodded, then stood up and walked out. He seemed to be a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. He was very calm and steady.
"So far, this is the best, Mr. Adriaan." After the man left, the interviewer in the middle looked at Adriaan, who was sitting on the right.
After a moment of silence, Adriaan nodded, but he said noncommittally, "Now, let the last person in."
There was no need to say who the last person was. Adriaan glanced at the information in his hand. Although it wasn't very detailed, it matched the information in his memory. There was only one thing that didn't match. Two years ago, after she left the ballet troupe due to an injury, she didn't become a model. Instead, she entered a professional school to learn how to work as an assistant. Not only did she do well in all her subjects, but she also fought for a lot of internship opportunities, so much so that she obtained a training certificate in advance.
Interesting. What made her give up being a model and learn how to work as an assistant? Adriaan looked at the information, his left hand supporting his face while his right hand tapped back and forth on the table. This butterfly's wings are a little big.
Thinking of this, his heart moved slightly. A vague thought suddenly flashed through his mind, but it passed too quickly for him to grasp. Just as Adriaan was about to carefully comb through his memory, the door of the hall was opened again. He quickly gathered his thoughts and looked up, then he was stunned.
She had a head of wavy, medium-short blonde curly hair, delicate facial features, and a faint smile on her face. Her black suit was very fitting, and her shirt collar was turned outside. Her short skirt was just above her knees, and her flesh-colored stockings made her calves look particularly seductive. Her 5 '8 "height and 5-inch black high heels made her look tall and straight, accentuating her exquisite curves. Her standard OL attire made her look dignified and elegant, but also had a different kind of sexiness.
She really is a stunner. Adriaan praised in his heart, then looked at the other two interviewers beside him. Although they were expressionless, he was sure that they must have the same praise in their hearts.
"Please take a seat, Miss Charlize Theron." The first to speak was the interviewer in the middle, Roddick.
"Thank you." Charlize smiled slightly and sat down on the chair.
"Please tell me, Miss Theron, why do you think you are suitable for this job?" Cain asked on the other side. Although Charlize's beauty surprised them a little, his questions were not ambiguous.
"I got straight A's in school, and I've also gotten a lot of internship opportunities. Among the people who got their certificates at the same time, I have the most experience," Charlie replied in a confident tone with a smile on his face. He had been sitting straight the whole time.
Her eyes seemed to glance at Adriaan, and Adriaan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. How interesting.
"Can you give us a reason to hire a newcomer like you?" Roddick asked immediately.
"I admit that a newcomer is not as stable as those experienced seniors, but a newcomer's reaction, ability to adjust, and adaptability are far better than those seniors who are used to the rhythm of other companies. Every experienced senior grew up as a newcomer. I think a dynamic company is good at giving newcomers opportunities," Charlize said confidently.
Cain and Roddick took turns to ask questions. Some of these questions were sharp, and some were hidden, but they were all resolved by the 17-year-old girl in front of them. Adriaan couldn't help but nod his head lightly. Charlize was indeed a smart and tough woman. It was not surprising that she could answer these questions in such an outstanding manner. Then, could she really be …
Finally, Roddick and Cain finished asking their questions. After exchanging opinions, they looked at Adriaan.
"Not bad. She doesn't lose to the one just now, but she is a little young," Roddick whispered in his ear.
Adriaan nodded to show that he understood. Then, he looked at Charlize with interest and asked his first and last question, "Miss Charlize, if you were not selected in the interview, what would you do?"
Charlize's eyes obviously flashed a glimmer of light, and the smile on her face suddenly became more gorgeous.
"Two years ago, when I was sitting at the mouth of the Hudson River because of my knee injury, and I could no longer dance ballet, I looked at the Statue of Liberty. A person I was very grateful to encouraged me. He said, 'Don't feel that you have failed. There are still many choices in life. If you want to break through your own sky, the most important thing is whether you dare to do it, not whether you know how to do it. So, my answer is, if I am not selected, I will strive harder. If it turns out that this industry is not suitable for me, I will continue to work hard in another direction until I succeed. Are you satisfied, Mr. Adriaan? "
She just sat there quietly, her beautiful eyes staring at him without blinking. After a long time, Adriaan finally smiled slightly, "Very satisfied, Miss Charlize."
It really is her!
