Chapter 613

The lady in front of him looked like she was in her early thirties. She had dark brown hair and wore glasses. She was not considered pretty but she had a capable temperament in a shirt and jeans. Although she was just frowning, she looked serious and determined. She looked like she was going to give her an explanation. That made her look interesting.

"I remember you, you're from the editorial team …" Adriaan knocked his head and began looking for her name. She looked familiar, he should not have forgotten her.

"Tina Fey, Mr. Kewell." She did not give him the chance. "I joined Bosworth Pictures' editorial team in 1997. Later on, the group acquired Universal and transferred most of the staff there. That's why I went to Universal and I've been working there ever since. I've been in charge of dramas from Will and Grace to CSI to New Growing Pains. I'm also the one who wrote Pretty Lady Lawyer …"

"And Sex and the City Season 5, Episode 9 to Episode 12, they were the best episodes of that season." Adriaan smiled and did not take her words to heart. "You're a good scriptwriter, Ms. Fey …"

"Thank you, Mr. Kewell. Does that mean that you acknowledge my ability?" Tina Fey's face looked slightly better now.

"Of course, what's the matter?" Adriaan asked in a relaxed tone.

"It's like this. A few months ago, I managed to get a job. I'm writing the script for a school comedy." Tina took a deep breath. "Just like before, the person in charge gave me an outline and I built the plot around it. I spent almost five weeks doing a lot of research and finally handed it over to the person in charge. I didn't expect that the script that was handed back to me a few days later would be completely different. Most of the plot that I had painstakingly thought out had been deleted and replaced with some inexplicable things, even though the whole story was very smooth. "

She paused as she spoke to this point and continued after taking a deep breath, "Then I found out that this was done by my two assistants based on their suggestions. I couldn't accept it but the person in charge told me that I had to accept it or else they'd change someone else to write the script. It's too much, I can't watch the script get so bad. I had to find a way to contact you. I hope to talk to you. But I didn't get permission to call your office a few times, so I had to stop you in this way. I'm sorry but I had to do this. "

Adriaan looked at Ivanka who was next to him. The secretary flipped through the document in her hand and replied, "I've arranged for Ms. Fey to meet you on Monday morning next week."

"That's too late." Tina shook her head. "I've been informed today that the movie will be ready soon. This is my last chance."

"But I'm busy now." Adriaan shrugged helplessly.

"I beg you, Mr. Cowell, I won't take too much of your time." Tina said in a pleading tone. There was an undisguised hope in her eyes behind her glasses. It was obvious that she cared a lot about her script.

Adriaan looked at the time on his hand and handed the briefcase to Ivanka. "There's a bar nearby. Let's talk there. I think half an hour should be enough for you to explain your ideas." Adrian looked at the time on his hand and handed the briefcase to Ivanka. "There's a bar nearby. Let's talk there. I think half an hour should be enough for you to explain your ideas."

"Thank you, Mr. Kewell," Tina said gratefully as she breathed a sigh of relief.

Adriaan smiled. He had already guessed which movie it was, but it didn't matter because he recalled Tina Fey's achievements at the same time. She was a very talented female screenwriter and was also an actress. However, shouldn't she be working at NBC's Weekend Night Live? Adrian smiled. He had already guessed which movie it was, but it was not important. At the same time, he recalled the relevant deeds of Tina Fey. She was a very talented female screenwriter, and she was also an actress. However, shouldn't she be working on NBC's Saturday Night Live?

"I wanted to go to NBC. A friend of mine works there. She said to me one day, 'Tina, you should really try it. You'll definitely be able to make full use of your talent here.' I was tempted, but I happened to see, um, Bosworth Pictures' recruitment advertisement. " At this point, Tina smiled a little embarrassedly. "Then, I chose to apply for a job at Bosworth Pictures. At that time, everyone knew that you were Hollywood's ace screenwriter. Many of the movies and TV series with outstanding box office and viewership ratings were related to you. I really admired you back then, Ed."

"Thank you." Adriaan raised his glass and smiled.

The sun had not set yet, so there were relatively few people in the bar. It was a good time to talk. Therefore, it was easy for him to get information about her past from her.

"That's how I got into Director Miracle's editing team. That's what they call us. Then …" Tina, who was reminiscing, smiled. She then sobered up. "Oh, I'm sorry, Eide. We shouldn't talk about this. We … Where were we? Oh yeah, the fight between the girls is a little simpler. I'm recalling my high school life. Just because of Tina's name, I was so badly ostracized. "

She lowered her head and muttered while adjusting her emotions. She seemed to be a little embarrassed.

"Yes, I know. I roughly understand what you mean, Tina." Adriaan patted her hand. "But you have to understand that this is a youth comedy movie. It doesn't need to carry that much meaning even if it's hidden in the plot and lines. Its content is even worse than Pretty Lady Lawfare. It's just a rough representation of the scheming between high school girls. Then, it encourages the audience with laughter. It's no different from other school comedies. That's why I picked out your plots and asked people to revise them, even though they're all very interesting. "

Tina could not help but look disappointed. What could be more devastating than not being able to preserve the fruits of one's labor after spending so much effort? Suddenly, her expression changed.

"You mean … You mean …" She looked at him and stammered, "This script … is your idea, and all the changes … are also your idea?"

"Yes." Adriaan nodded.

Tina's face suddenly turned red. Her chest began to heave violently and her lips trembled a little. Obviously, this made her very embarrassed. When she tried so hard to persuade the person who could stop all of this for her script, the person who did not make the decision to revise and give up was her former idol.

"Don't get too worked up, Tina." Adriaan grabbed her hand and said in a comforting tone, "I know this is your painstaking effort. I also know how much effort you've put into this script. In fact, through the conversation just now, I realized that part of your plot can be preserved as long as we change it in a different way."

"It can … be preserved?" Tina asked subconsciously.

"Yes. For example, what happened to the booklet filled with bad words in the end? We can leave it blank and let the audience guess it themselves. It doesn't matter if they don't notice it. Even if they do notice it, there's no specific answer. They can fill in the rest of the story with their own feelings. " Adriaan said, "I'm guessing the plot where the female protagonist tells the truth should have evolved from Ellie encouraging her Japanese friend to break up with her boyfriend in Pretty Woman, am I right?"

"Hmm … Something like that," Tina replied while stuttering.

Adriaan smiled faintly, "See, it's that simple. Some of the plot can be preserved with some modifications. I won't list them one by one. What I want to say is that you're outstanding, Tina. So, I hope you can continue to write this script and write it according to my requirements. Then, I'll straighten it out and make it a complete and smooth story. "

"But …" The lady was still hesitant.

"Do you know what you're lacking now, Tina?" Adriaan said sincerely, "You need to learn to adapt to the theme of the script. You're really outstanding. The few episodes of Sex and the City in the fifth season have proven your ability. However, if you limit yourself too much, then the types of scripts you can write will become fewer and fewer. I don't approve of screenwriters involving too many genres, but it's not good to have too few or too narrow either. I think you can definitely do that."

"Alright, I understand." After a long silence, Tina sighed. "Thank you, Eide. Thank you for your advice."

"You don't have to do that. I just have high hopes for you, Tina." Adriaan smiled. "You should know that the editorial team is planning a TV series about women. After Sex and the City ends, we need a TV series with this aspect. After talking to you for so long, coupled with your achievements in Sex and the City, I think you're very suitable to be the screenwriter of that TV series. Of course, the premise is that you have to broaden your horizons."

"You mean …" Tina's eyes lit up.

"Yes, that one." Adriaan nodded.

"Thank you, Eide. Thank you very much." After taking a deep breath, she thanked him again. Her tone was very sincere, and she looked at him without blinking. There was an indescribable feeling in her eyes.

After looking at him like that for a long time, Tina stood up in shock. Then, her face turned red, and she packed up in a panic. "Then, I'll go back. I'll revise it again as soon as possible to make the script more complete."

"Okay." Adriaan stood up as well. "I'll send you back."

"I have a car," Tina refused.

"But you said before that you came here in a taxi," Adriaan reminded her.

"Well … this …" Tina turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

"It's okay, I don't think it'll take too long," Adriaan insisted.

"Alright, thank you, Eide," Tina agreed immediately, and then —

In the corner of the small parking lot, the silver-gray Bentley was shaking slightly. In the driver's seat, Tina Fey, whose clothes were messy, was riding on Adriaan's body, moving up and down continuously. Her moans of ecstasy echoed in the car. Her intoxicated eyes, flushed skin, and forehead that was covered with fine beads of sweat showed how excited she was.

After a few quick ups and downs, with a long moan, Tina finally went limp on Adriaan's body and panted heavily. Adriaan also exhaled comfortably, and then began kissing her tenderly.

After resting for a while, Tina raised her head and looked at Adriaan. She said in annoyance, "I can't believe I'll become like this one day."

"Oh?" Adriaan was puzzled. "Become what?"

"I never date bad guys. This is the rule I set for myself," Tina said softly while lying on his chest. Tina laid on his chest and said softly. Although she said that, she still let his hand move around her body.

Adriaan could not help but frown. "So, I have such a bad impression in your eyes."

"Of course not!" Tina laughed. "But almost everyone in the company knows that you're a playboy. You've slept with many women, but no one dares to say it out loud."

She said as she propped her body up with her hands on his chest and stared at his face. "But I've still been taken over by a playboy like you. You're … a man who's good at coaxing women, a very attractive man, no wonder …"

Then, Tina stopped as she thought of something. Her face turned ugly, and in the end, she covered her face and moaned sadly.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Adriaan wrapped his arms around her waist in confusion.

"Damn it, damn it," Tina moaned. "I … I have a fiancé, I'm … engaged."

The news surprised Adriaan, but he immediately hugged her tighter and kissed her cheeks that were dodging. "I'm sorry, Tina. It's my fault. I shouldn't have … But since it's already happened, let's just treat it as an accident. That's how people are. Once they have feelings, it's easy for them to get carried away and do things that they shouldn't do. So, we're not wrong. Just treat it as an accident and forget about it. "

Tina sighed deeply and climbed on his body. She did not say anything, but it was obvious that she was much better.

"Maybe!" She said faintly. "Maybe it can be a wonderful memory that I don't want to recall."

"Then, I'll make this memory more memorable." Adriaan whispered in her ear while his hands moved.

"No … Wait, Eide …" Tina wanted to stop him, but she soon responded to his teasing.

"You're such a …" The lady panted and kissed him passionately again. When they started fighting again, her reaction was much stronger than before. As for the reason …

To be honest, Tina was not the best in terms of appearance or figure, but Adriaan still tasted her in his car. There was no other reason other than Tina Fey's good temperament. He had a preference for women with good temperament, just like Blanchett and Gwyneth. They were not very beautiful, but they had good temperament. Whether it was them showing off their temperament in bed or him destroying their temperament in bed, it was a pleasure.

Therefore, when the feeling was right, it was natural for him to taste this lady with good temperament in the car. He could get a good scriptwriter, so why not?

In his previous life, Tina Fey was one of the chief scriptwriters of NBC's ace show, Weekend Night Live. Not only did she gain popularity from Weekend Night Live, she was also the female lead in I'm a Comedy Maniac and won a lot of Emmy Awards. Interestingly, she was the one who wrote the script for Mean Girl in his previous life. She was also the scriptwriter for the script now. Fate was really interesting.

However, without the experience from Weekend Night Live, and the fact that Mean Girl did not have a novel to refer to, it was inevitable that Tina would run into problems. Moreover, although she was the scriptwriter for popular movies and TV series such as Pretty Woman and Sex and the City, she was relatively not well-known and had not reached the point where she could take charge.

However, she was indeed talented. Through the conversation at the bar, Adriaan confirmed this. Therefore, he considered letting her produce a certain TV series that he was preparing. Since she had written for Sex and the City before, she should be able to handle a similar theme. This TV series was going to be left for ABC, so naturally, it had to be better produced. For a TV series like Lost, Adriaan would not hesitate to let other TV stations broadcast it as a deal. After all, there were many popular TV series with the same theme, but a phenomenal TV series must be left to him.

If Tina did a good job, Adriaan did not mind promoting her to producer. This could be considered … compensation. After all, I'm a Comedy Maniac was produced with NBC's Weekend Night Live as the background. Even if this could be ignored, there was no rule that a production company could not produce a comedy TV series based on this. At most, it would not be explained in the TV series. However, without Weekend Night Live's experience, could Tina still write the script and perform well?

Well, let's not talk about this anymore. With the arrival of the middle of August, X-Men 2 was finally released.

A grand premiere was definitely essential, because with "Spiderman" and "Blade Warrior" leading the way, the "X-Men" series was more valuable than in Zhang Heng's previous life. So after the first one was released, they worked overtime to produce the second one and arranged for it to be released this summer. They also contacted nearly 4,000 cinemas in North America.

During this process, Sony put in a lot of effort. In addition to taking away the copyright of Spiderman, Adriaan generously gave up part of the copyright of the X-Men characters. Even Wolverine was put in a shared position. In this way, Sony -Columbia was naturally willing to put in the effort.

Therefore, the day of the premiere was quite lively. In addition to the director, producers, and actors of the crew, many celebrities came to support. On the red carpet outside the theater, fans, comic fans, reporters, and large posters were everywhere.

"It's like a carnival, and everyone is enjoying it." At the door of the theater, looking at the flashing lights outside, listening to the cheers of the fans, and the various questions of the reporters, Adriaan said to the white man standing next to him, who looked to be in his late forties.

"That's why I like movies adapted from comics." The other party said with a smile, "Of course, I also like comics adapted from movies and TV series."

"That's true, at least in the comics, Buffy is much better." Adriaan laughed.

The man next to him was none other than the producer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Jos Weldon. Currently, because of Adriaan's recommendation, he is directing The Hulk for Fox.
