Chapter 289 - 289 16 Charlizes Outburst

?Chapter 289: Chapter 16 Charlize’s Outburst Chapter 289: Chapter 16 Charlize’s Outburst “Let’s leave it at that. I’ll quickly have someone come over to finalize things,” Adrian, standing by the door, said to Evan. Natalie had already agreed to take on the role, and her parents were very supportive, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

“Thank you, Ed,” Evan said, shaking his hand and putting special emphasis on the word “thank you.”

“It’s nothing. You have a remarkable daughter,” Adrian shrugged, then glanced at Natalie who was following behind him. Although the girl had regained her composure, she quickly turned her head away when their eyes met, still sensitive.

Knowing what she was thinking, Adrian chuckled softly to himself, then said his goodbyes, got in the car, and left.

Frankly speaking, “Fly Away Home” wasn’t a high box office hit, and its reputation was just average, but it was suitable for Natalie now. Due to Adrian’s influence, “The Professional” had received far more attention in the United States than in his previous life, and her exquisite acting skills and spirited appearance were more widely recognized. Therefore, what she needed now was to solidify her image rather than chasing high box office returns or honors.

For a child star, receiving too much praise during childhood wasn’t a good thing, as it was easy to be used as a point of comparison later on. Many people liked to say that an actor who started as a child star had changed too much from their childhood not because their acting had worsened, but because their youthful spirit had made a deep impression. The more such impressions there were, the harder it was for people to accept their later appearance; therefore, having one classic image was enough. Judi Foster’s success was partly because she had faded from the entertainment scene for a long time due to the Reagan assassination attempt, of course, there were other factors, but let’s not talk about that here.

In any case, Natalie had returned to her intended path, taking on supporting roles in independent films to hone her acting skills and maintain her reputation, and then waiting for the right opportunity. However, there were certainly different aspects, like the current “Fly Away Home” she was preparing for. With a bit more effort in editing, if they could secure a G rating before release, the box office would definitely exceed the original, and even if it didn’t make a profit, breaking even shouldn’t be a problem. Then a proper promotion was due, now that he had his own media company, raising the film’s reputation a notch was also plausible.

It was always more interesting when things were different, especially when controlled by oneself. Adrian thought to himself. He turned his head and looked through the rear car window at the distance, although Natalie’s home had long disappeared, the image of the girl’s shy, embarrassed appearance still jumped to his mind instantly.

Delicious Lolita. He muttered to himself, touching his mouth. Unfortunately, it would still take a long time; she and the other little fairy were different after all. Adrian couldn’t help but think of Kirsten on the set of “Little Women,” the escalating daring of that little fairy who even dared to tease him so boldly in front of so many people on the set.

This was probably related to “Interview with the Vampire,” which was going to be released at the end of August. The preview screenings had received good reviews, Anne Rice was so pleased that she declared Tom Cruise’s decision to play Lester was very correct, Pitt’s Louis and Kirsten’s Claudia were also very brilliant, she had announced plans to write a lengthy review after the film’s release.

Kirsten, receiving such praise, naturally felt equally elated and was even more expectant of the film’s release. Actually, Adrian had initially planned to release “Interview with the Vampire” at the end of the year, but considering that delaying too long might affect the film’s promotion, the main reason he did so, as long as “Little Women” could be released on time by the end of the year, it wouldn’t be affected, plus, it was time to give the little fairy more substantial treats.
