Chapter 275 - 275 3 Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Seven

?Chapter 275: Chapter 3 “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Seven Deadly Sins Chapter 275: Chapter 3 “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Seven Deadly Sins “Sorry, we’re late, I hope we haven’t held you up too long.” Adrian said apologetically as he entered, with Sarah following behind him looking no different from usual.

“No problem, we just chatted a few words with Joss.” The head of the television department, Hudson, stood up immediately. Even if he had any complaints, he couldn’t possibly express them, as Adrian was the boss. Moreover, this was his first time being late, and though the delay was a bit long, who hasn’t been late before? Best to put it behind us.

“This must be Joss, hello there.” Adrian walked straight to the man sitting in front of Hudson who looked to be about thirty years old and smiled as he extended his hand.

“Hello, Ed, I’m Joss Whedon, pleased to meet you.” The other party was quite gregarious and didn’t show any impatience from the wait, instead warmly shaking hands with Adrian. However, he was also an impatient man, and before Adrian could even settle in his seat, he asked eagerly, “Did I hear right that you want to adapt this movie into a TV show?”

“I thought Robert had made that clear.” Adrian smiled, looking toward Hudson.

“Oh, yes, but…” Whedon gestured, pausing for two minutes, then after organizing his thoughts, continued with a different question, “What about the film version?”

“The script is good,” Adrian’s smile grew stronger, “but clearly, the director didn’t understand the theme of the story, which is why it ended up as a comedy. It was an absolute disaster.”

“Oh? Why do you say that, Ed?” Whedon tried to maintain a calm appearance, but his clenched fist had betrayed his true feelings.

“For a long time, in Hollywood horror films, the petite blonde girl getting killed after walking into a dark alley became almost formulaic, and your script clearly intends to subvert that. What’s more eye-catching than a strong woman killing those vampires who are supposed to be killed by men and then saving the world?” Adrian spread his hands.

Whedon bowed his head, and after a long moment, he sighed and laughed, scratching his head, “I knew it, shouldn’t show off in front of you, you are one of Hollywood’s most insightful… screenwriters, directors, and producers.”

“Wow, that sounds like something I should be proud of.” Adrian laughed heartily.

“Just telling the truth.” Whedon laughed along, “Alright, I’ll get the script out as soon as possible…”

“Don’t rush, Joss,” Adrian waved his hand to interrupt him, “I want you to not just be in charge of the main script, but I also want you to be the producer of the TV version of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’!”

“Sorry, did I hear you wrong…” Whedon was stunned for quite a while before he asked subconsciously. His mouth twitched, raising his hand meaninglessly then dropping it, obviously shocked by the news and unable to find his bearings.
