The script initially served as Adrian's stepping stone into Hollywood. As his fame began to spread with the production of two films, its original value diminished, so the role of the script inevitably had to change.
Thanks to those previous scripts and the fact that the scripts for the two films he succeeded in were also written by him, Adrian had earned the title of a brilliant screenwriter among the upper echelons of various film companies. He was well aware of this, so the script became his best tool for winning over these film companies.
For others, this would be an impossible task. Although the status of screenwriters in Hollywood was much better than decades ago, they still didn't have much say. When making films, top-ranking stars, directors, and producers could all freely modify the script. If a screenwriter didn't agree to adjustments according to their opinions, they would be asked to leave, as there were plenty of screenwriters available.
