Chapter 218 Our Boss is Optimistic About You



The girl walked into the room, where three instructors were sitting with cameras next to them. The girl looked at the three instructors and asked, "Didn't they say the instructors are Ava Gardner and Gary Grant?"

One of the middle-aged mentors smiled and said, "We are audition mentors. If you want to see Miss Ava and Mr. Grant, you need to enter the finals. Miss, you are not here to see the stars, are you?"

“I’m here just to see the stars.”

After the girl finished speaking, she looked at the three mentors, her eyes full of disappointment, which hurt the three mentors very much.

"What are you going to sing?" asked one of the instructors.

The girl said the name of a popular song, and the instructor asked her to start singing, a cappella, without any accompaniment. But as soon as the girl opened her mouth, the three instructors discovered that her voice and singing skills were very good.

These three mentors are not ordinary people. There is an arranger from HD Film Company and a teacher from HD Records Company. They are all very knowledgeable about music.

The girl sang and was passed unanimously by the three instructors.

The girl happily got a promotion ticket.

The auditions went very quickly. Some people were stopped after singing only a few lines because their singing was so awful. It was almost devastating. The instructors covered their ears, but it also created a lot of jokes.

Show yourself.

Everyone can sign up for the audition.

As for whether or not to advance to the next level, that is up to the tutor.

Finally it was Patti Page's turn. This slightly chubby girl walked into the room with a confident look on her face after attending concerts and sang a classic pop song.

Patti Page's voice is gorgeous and mellow. Her singing is neither too fast nor too slow, and her voice is calm and measured. Her high pitch is elegant. The three mentors were very optimistic about this girl and unanimously passed her.

Elvis walked into the room, holding a guitar in his hand. He bowed to the three teachers and then started to sing by himself. It turned out to be a new song. The three instructors listened very carefully. I have to say that this little guy sang very well, especially his sense of rhythm was very good. He sang and danced while holding the guitar, which really livened up the atmosphere.

"pass through."

"pass through."

"pass through!"

After three votes were passed, the boy jumped up excitedly and said, "Yeah, thank you three teachers," then turned around and ran out.

Patsy Cline walked into the room. In the eyes of the tutor, she looked like an old lady. The three even suspected that she had lied about her age.

Patsy Cline was very reserved, standing in the middle of the scene somewhat at a loss, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly with one hand.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she seemed to be instantly full of confidence, and her melodious and magnetic voice made the three mentors open their mouths in shock.

The three instructors were all music workers. They knew a lot about music and voice, but they were still amazed and had to admit that this lady had a naturally gifted voice. Her singing was full of emotion, and she was completely immersed in her own singing, no longer as reserved and nervous as before.

“Pah pah pah pah pah~~!”

When the woman finished singing, the three mentors applauded together.

"It's great, the best sound I've heard today."

"I really like the feeling of her singing, she is totally immersed in it, as if at that moment she has already entered the world of music. She is gifted with unique conditions."

"I'll give it a pass."

"I passed too."

Another three votes passed, and the woman bowed to the three mentors with gratitude, and walked out of the room with red eyes.

Marilyn Monroe had been waiting nervously. She was standing not far from the audition studio and could hear the voices of the contestants clearly. Some of them had such beautiful voices that she felt she could not match them.

Now she is very nervous, afraid that she won't even make it through the audition.

After the last player walked out, the staff called the next person's name, "Is Ms. Marilyn Monroe here? It's your turn."

Marilyn Monroe was startled and immediately raised her hand, "I'm here."

Marilyn Monroe walked into the room, and the three instructors' eyes lit up when they saw the woman who walked in. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, a slim waist and a plump butt, a standard American beauty. No matter how she sang, her looks were worth appreciating.

"Hello, three mentors."

"Hello, Miss Monroe, please start your singing."

Monroe coughed lightly and began to sing a cappella. She was singing a song that was popular a few years ago. Although Monroe had practiced very hard for a week before, it was obvious that her talent and voice determined that she was not a good singer.

There's no comparison to soul singers like Ava Gardner.

After the song is finished,

Meng Lu looked at the three mentors with some trepidation.

"Teacher, I'm done singing."

Meng Lu looked at the three people timidly with her big eyes.

None of the three mentors spoke at the first moment.

"Hehe, I think it's okay. I'll pass it." The first tutor broke the silence.

When Menglu heard the teacher passing by, her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked delighted.

The second mentor shook his head and said, "I don't think your performance is up to the standard of a good singer. I can't give you this vote."

Meng Lu showed a frustrated expression on her face, and then turned to look at the third mentor with a look of trepidation and pleading.

Her expression changed so quickly that it vividly showed her inner emotional fluctuations. The third tutor felt a little embarrassed by Menglu's gaze.

"I think, oh, I remember that the requirements of our super idol talent show are a beautiful singing voice and stunning appearance. Although Miss Monroe's first requirement is not perfect, the second requirement should be given a high score, so I passed her."

When Menglu heard that the mentor had given her approval, an expression of joy, excitement and gratitude immediately appeared on her face.

The mentor looked at Menglu and suddenly felt that his vote was very worthwhile. He nodded and smiled at Menglu, no longer concealing his preference for beauty.

"With two votes passed, Miss Menglu will advance to the next round of auditions. Congratulations." said the first instructor.

“Thank you, three mentors.”

Menglu smiled and left the room.

......

The TV station recorded a lot of material and took it back to the station for editing as soon as possible. The program production in this era was not as refined as in later generations. The editing was very rough, with large sections used, but there was often a kind of primitive beauty.

That night,

ABC TV station aired the first episode of the "Super Idol" talent show.

A handsome 13-year-old boy singing passionately.

The sweet girl sang a magnetic song.

The teenage girl questioned the instructor why the teacher was not a big star like Ava Gardner.

The young man screamed and was kicked out by his mentor.

The whole program was joyful, touching and passionate, and immediately captured the audience's appetite.

Because it was the first episode of the show, Hardy also watched it at home to see how it would turn out. Through the performances of the first few contestants, Hardy felt that ABC TV had grasped the key points he required, and he was sure that this show would be a big hit.

Even after the variety show bombardment, people still love to watch this kind of program, not to mention that it is still the early stage of television culture development in the 1940s. This novel, joyful, and audience-friendly program is sure to attract people.

The next contestant was a beautiful blonde.

Hardy was stunned when he saw the woman.

When the woman introduced herself as Marilyn Monroe, Hardy's heart skipped a beat.

It turned out to be her.

The dream girl of countless men, 'American Sweetheart' Monroe.

I didn't expect her to appear here. Hardy recalled Monroe's life journey. It seemed that she was indeed in Hollywood during this period and was at the lowest point in her life and career.

on the show.

Menglu sang a song, but her performance was just so-so.

The instructors were divided over whether to give her a pass.

Very obvious.

This time, the two judges were attracted by Marilyn Monroe's beauty. Two of them passed him. In the end, the judge gave a serious explanation, but everyone could hear that he was trying to hide his intentions.

The main reason is that Menglu’s expression is too seductive.

Her happiness and sadness, pleading and desire were all written on her face, making it impossible for the man to refuse.

Interestingly,

The photographer faithfully recorded the mentor's performance in response to Monroe's pleading, and the editing of this segment was particularly delicate.

Hadi thought to himself, he wondered if this mentor would be scolded by his wife after he returned home.

If it happened somewhere else, it could have been an accident.

But in the United States, the audience just thinks it's funny and feels the program is interesting, and will not stand up to criticize ABC TV for being fake and unprofessional.

Monroe got two tickets and left happily. The camera switched to the next contestant, and Hardy suddenly felt that the show had lost a lot of its luster.

She is indeed a beauty of her generation.

When you come out, you bring light with you; when you leave, everything around you becomes dark.

Hardy thought about it, picked up the phone and called Edward.

"Edward, are you watching Super Idol?"

"Yes, boss. I'm watching. Are you calling because you think something is not well made?" Edward asked cautiously.

"No, it's very well made. I have something to tell you."

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the boss was satisfied.

"Boss, please give me your orders."

"Did you see that girl named Marilyn Monroe on the show?"

"Yes, I see."

"Do you think she can advance to the next round?" Hardy asked.

"It depends on what you, the boss, want. If you ask her to be promoted, she can be promoted," said Edward.

Depend on,

This bastard really knows how to flatter.

"I mean her strength," said Hardy.

"As for her ability, it's probably not good enough. She does look sweet and attractive, but her talent in singing is really average. Her voice and pitch have no special features. Many of the eliminated contestants sang better than her. It may be difficult for her to advance to the next round." Edward told the truth.

"I feel the same way, so you go find her, sign a contract with her, and then find a teacher to train her. The program can have a segment about the players' lives, filming the lives of some of the advanced players."

"For example, the round-faced girl who plays Patti Page, the divorced woman with children, Patsy Cline, the lively 13-year-old boy, and Marilyn Monroe. We went to their homes to shoot and learn about their lives and current situations. This will allow the audience to better understand the contestants' situations and make the characters more substantial."

Edward was very smart and immediately grasped the key points of what Hardy said.

"I understand, boss. I will arrange for the production company to contact the contestants and produce a program for the contestants to introduce their albums."

After hanging up the phone, Edward smacked his lips.

That girl named Marilyn Monroe was so lucky to be noticed by the boss.

Becoming the boss's woman is the dream of many Hollywood female stars, and this time it happened to this silly and sweet girl.

If the boss wants to sleep with a woman, he believes that more than half of the women in Hollywood are willing to wash themselves clean and climb into the boss's bed.

In Hollywood,

Or in the United States.

This is the kind of thing people care least about.

No one would criticize a star because of his private life.

In fact, many people envy Ava, Heidi, Taylor and Elaine because they can nestle at the foot of the mountains, drink clear stream water and eat fresh fruits.

At first, the boss supported Miss Ava, invested in movies, and wrote songs for her.

Support Miss Taylor, help her write scripts, and invest in movies.

He supported Miss Heidi and wrote Ghost, which became a huge hit and became the most popular candidate for this year's Oscar.

Elaine is a TV executive and now the most famous female host in the United States.

Now the boss wants to promote this woman named Marilyn Monroe. I guess he has a crush on her. I can only say that this girl is really lucky.

With the support of her boss, her future will surely be bright.

When Edward knocked on Marilyn Monroe's door, Monroe was still surprised. Edward revealed his identity and said that he was the president of HD Film Company. Monroe covered her mouth in surprise. When Monroe saw the agency contract, her body was shaking with excitement.

"Ms. Monroe, our boss is very optimistic about you, so he asked me to come and sign a contract with you. This is a C-level contract. The salary is $100 per week, and there will be a share of the performance. We will also train you so that you can perform better in the talent show. What do you think?" Edward asked with a smile.

Meng Lu was of course satisfied with this economic contract.

"Your boss has high hopes for me. Can I ask who the boss you are talking about is?" Meng Lu asked.

Edward smiled and said, "Who else could my boss be? Of course it's Mr. Jon Hardy, the chairman of the Hardy Group and owner of ABC TV and HD Films."

Of course Monroe had heard of Jon Hardy. Now Jon Hardy was already a legendary figure in Hollywood, a billionaire, the boss of a film company, and the chairman of the Screen Actors Guild. Monroe was very surprised that such a big shot thought highly of her.

Then happily sign the contract.

The contract period is 10 years.

After signing, Edward took the contract and prepared to leave. Menglu saw him off, but when they reached the door, Menglu suddenly said, "Mr. President, can I make a small request?"

"What do you want?"

"Can you advance me two weeks' salary? I already owe the landlord two months' rent." Meng Lu said in a low voice.
