King of Hollywood Chapter 180: It’s mine, no one wants to take it away

"I bet that after shooting at most two or three films, she will definitely withdraw from the crew. I understand Emma, ​​she is not a woman willing to succumb to others. Trelawney has many plays in the novel, but the movie There is not much in it. After all, a film can take up to three hours. The lens must be focused on more important characters. A secondary supporting role like Trelawney, unless there is a key role, it will inevitably be sacrificed in post-production. "" Among a group of people, Adrian said with a smile.

On his left is Allen Rickman, who plays Snape in the Harry Potter series, and on the right, Maggie Smith, who plays McGonagall. There are more adult actors, but facing It was Emma Thompson who played Trelawney in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in the filming.

It seems a bit rude to say in her own face that she will definitely leave the crew in the future, but in fact the other party is not angry at all and always listens with a smile.

"Then why did you invite me to play this role?" Thompson, who was holding the glass, asked immediately.

"Because you agreed." Adrian shrugged and immediately smirked.

"But to be honest, Emma, ​​I knew I should have invited you to take the role of Harry's mother. There are not many plays, but they are very important." He added.

"Fortunately, Geraldine is not here, otherwise she will be sad and die." Rickman immediately inserted a sentence next to it, and everyone laughed again.

"Don't worry, Ed, for your sake, if I really want to launch. I will definitely notify you first, and then take another one." Thompson said with a statement.

"Then you don't need to quit at all, Emma." Smith inserted it again at this time. "Now the filming is the third part, and according to the information disclosed by Joe, the entire series is going to be written in seven, so After you cover up the three parts, this series is basically over. Judging from Joe’s usual style, Trelawney may not have much drama in the future. So it doesn’t matter if you leave or stay.”

A burst of laughter broke out immediately, making the room more lively. Of course, no matter how lively it is, it’s lively, but the next room is where the little actors are partying, they have their topics and games. However, Jing Wei is well-defined and there is no lack of contact. Adults often pass by, and children often come over. For example, the two twins had wanted to come and steal alcohol.

This is very common in the party among the crew. Little Emma has also held it at home, and everyone will get used to it afterwards and it will be fun. Moreover, not only the crew of the party, but also the irrelevant people can participate, as long as they are friends of the participants, just like Adrian. Well, this example is not accurate. After all, Adrian is the one who created the whole series in one hand, but it is very appropriate to use Hugh Laurie to explain.

"I didn't plan to participate, but Rachel would drag me to come, so I had to agree to it, but I didn't know until I came. She actually intended to use me as a labor force. A few of them can't do it by themselves." When talking about his niece, Laurie said so.

"Don't say that you are innocent, uncle, don't you hear that Aunt Emma and Director Miracle have both participated, and you promised to participate?" Rachel next to him immediately grabbed Baekdo. Then he laughed with a bunch of little guys such as Emma, ​​and it was indeed black near the ink. With the little Emma taking the lead, the little guys-especially the girls-seemed even more unscrupulous.

Lao Ruiyang raised his hand, and he seemed to have a headache for his niece. Adrian couldn’t help feeling a little bit ashamed: “Don’t care, Hugh, the small group of imps are always naughty.”

Then. He took this opportunity to ask: "After all, I have a question to ask you, Hugh, if appropriate."

"Please speak." Laurie gestured.

"There is such a role, a TV role. He is a doctor, a very powerful general practitioner. Many difficult diseases can not help him, but he is lame and always avoids meeting his patients. He likes to sneer at his colleagues, friends and even patients. He calls the doctor who is an intern under his own hands a little duck, and enjoys academically...Training them, but he still has a good friend and a Female friends who have ambiguous relationships but are always in the same position. From your point of view, what kind of character should this character be." Adrian asked with a smile.

Laurie blinked, seeming to realize what he didn’t answer in the first place, but after pondering for a long time, he opened some uncertainly: "First of all, he was a bit lonely and surly, then some self-conscious Love, I believe that the lame leg has a hard time looking back. He does not believe in others, only believes in himself, but he will not mind the reminders of others when he encounters difficulties. Simply put, the outside is cold and the inside is hot, otherwise there will be no one Good friend."

Speaking of which, Laurie suddenly laughed: "And, if this character is important, the producer will not design too weird, always consider the audience's appetite."

Adrian clapped his hands suddenly and then asked: "So, Hugh, would you like to play this role?"

"Wow, this is a...no small challenge." Although Hugh Laurie could have expected this, he could not help but take a deep breath. This was an invitation from Director Miracle.

"But I believe this is a piece of cake for you. When I handed over the idea of ​​this TV series to the screenwriters, I was thinking about who is suitable for this weird character. I didn’t expect to encounter it here and had to Say, my luck is so good." Adrian took him without trace.

Honestly, when I first heard the name Hugh Laurie, Adrian did not respond at all. Not only because of the pronunciation problem, Hugh in front of me was completely unconnected with Dr. House. In the very popular medical TV series in memory, House is a shaggy middle-aged uncle who is unshaven, and Hugh is courteous in front of him, with a full English fan from inside to outside.

But fortunately, he has a niece named Rachel? Harwood, so when Rachel mentioned his uncle Hugh Laurie again and again. After introducing him to Adrian, Adrian finally remembered it, so there was this conversation. It’s just that there is no medical drama of great weight. It’s very suitable to make “House Doctor”. As for Fox, don’t worry, there are many good medical dramas. If they are willing to cooperate, Adrian doesn’t mind giving them any compensation The plan advocated by Warner is still very good. Isn't it?

"Wow, is your uncle going to the United States now?" Rachel screamed with her chin beside her and heard everything.

"Now you can be proud, Rachel, the famous miracle director personally invited your uncle to act in a TV series." Emma Jr. made a grimace to her friend.

"Hey, little guys, not so fast, now I am just getting to know it first, and I have to watch the script and audition. But even if Ed insists, I will not take this role." Laurie said immediately. Although the possibility of setting this matter is quite high, after all, the big boss is speaking, but the posture must be posed.

Adrian also nodded secretly, and had a better impression of him. Fate is so interesting. At first, it was just a small suggestion, let Rachel? Harwood got the role of Ginny. Because of the experience of previous life, Adrian suggested the crew when casting the role. Not all characters must be limited to the age of the characters in the novel. For example, Ginny's candidates can also be selected among children born in 90 years.

So, Rachel, with her red hair and round face, looks pretty cute? Harwood entered the director at the time, Chris? Columbus, from the perspective of appearance. She is indeed very similar to the Weasley family with a red-haired tradition. Although Rachel wanted to compete for the role of Hermione in the sea election, she liked the Harry Potter series novels, plus the lobbying of the crew, so the family finally agreed.

Without this episode, Rachel will also enter the British entertainment scene, but it’s hard to say how big it is. So, in a sense, starring in Ginny is a good thing for her. Not only that. She also became a good friend with Emma Jr., things are impermanent, but nothing more.

"The unknown is indeed fascinating, especially the unknown of a small scope." On the way back, Adrian couldn't help sighing while looking at the street scene outside the car window.

"What are you talking about." Little Emma, ​​who rested her head on his thigh, asked immediately.

"I'm talking about why you must lie in the car." Adrian asked with his head bowed.

"Hey, don't I even have the power to lie down with your legs now? Isn't that going to go with me and you in the same car again." Little Emma shouted immediately.

Adrian would like to answer yes, but the concept has been stolen. In order to avoid being involved in more topics, shut up. He asked why she was lying in the car, not why she was leaning on his thighs-okay, it does have a meaning behind, but just to remind, but she just...

And even so, little Emma did not plan to let him go, and continued dissatisfiedly said: "You should thank me, Ed, if today I am not the one who took you to the party, how could you meet Mr. Laurie? "

"Okay, okay, thank you, Emma, ​​thank you very much." Adrian said as she leaned over and kissed her forehead.

This trick was very effective. After Emma Jr. fell down, she giggled immediately, twisted her head a few times on his thigh, and then looked up at him intently until she returned home.

"Okay, I won't be with you anymore. I have other things in London." After sending Emma back to her residence and greeting the Rodlings, Adrian said to her this way.

"This is the end." Little Emma seemed to be unhappy with her mouth curled.

"Don’t forget, I will come over your birthday next month." Adrian scraped her little nose, "I basically haven’t missed your birthday, have I?"

After hearing this sentence, Emma Xiao smiled immediately, but still did not forget to tease two words: "You are absent twice, I remember very clearly!"

She raised **** and gestured in front of Adrian, with a serious expression, but with a smile in her eyes.

"Yes, I know, but the two times did happen, and I didn't forget to call you, didn't I?" Adrian bent over and leaned in front of her.

"Okay, okay, just like that." Little Emma looked around and kissed his face quickly without taking care of her family.

I laughed. Adrian glared at her with "I know", touched her head again, and then said goodbye to the Rodlings. Little Emma escorted him to the door and watched the car leave in front of the window, then greeted the foster mother and returned to her bedroom.

After lying on the bed for a while, Emma Jr. turned over, her eyes widening towards the ceiling. After a while, she jumped up and turned twice in front of the full-length mirror. Then he hummed his arms akimbo.

"Up to one year, be patient!" She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "It's mine, no one can take it away!"

Adrian came to London to do other things besides accompany Emma Jr. After spending several months collecting data and discussing with Crowder and others, he has already made a decision.

"It's okay, but it doesn't have its own training base. And the stadium is a bit smaller." In the team's box, watching the players in blue uniforms below finished warming up, in the shock of the fans With cheers ready to start the game, Adrian said so to the old man around him.

"It is not small anymore, it can accommodate 40,000 people." The old man next to him raised his white eyebrows. "And the land here is worth every inch of land. It is not so easy to expand."

As for the fact that there is no training ground. He ignored the past directly. Adrian smiled and turned to enter the box, which is equipped with a TV. It is not necessary to stand in front of the window to watch the ball, but it is not for watching the ball.

"Overall. Chelsea is pretty good and has the potential to be tapped, so make a price, Mr. Bates." He said directly after sitting in the chair.

Adrian finally chose Chelsea. Claude woke him up with a sentence: "Are you an individual investment? Or a group investment?"

Obviously. This is a personal behavior, so naturally it is necessary to follow his opinion, and Adrian, who cares about giving and reclaiming power, naturally prefers a blank piece of Chelsea. Still in that sentence, he can be a chairperson regardless of the matter and delegate all his power to the head coach, let him go to the scenery to receive cheers, but the power of the head coach is given by him, or he had it before he came. This is a very important difference.

Adrian doesn’t want to deal with Ferguson and Manchester United’s avid fans, so Chelsea is better, let’s talk about a London team.

Of course, several conversations with Claude were also the incentives for his decision. The reason for the sway was largely because Manchester United was undoubtedly more helpful for ESPN to enter Europe, so Claude asked him Can you develop Chelsea into a first-class team after selling it? Looking back on the few impressions of Chelsea in the past life, nothing more than digging up the Magic Bird, and then willing to invest in players, there is no too complicated strategy.

The answer came out, according to Claude’s words, this is in line with the process of ESPN’s entry into Europe, growing with the team, gradually building its own reputation and brand, complementing each other, which is a good publicity in itself. the way.

After the decision, Adrian immediately arranged personnel to contact Chelsea. The current chairman Kenneth Bates has a bad reputation and is notoriously unobstructed. The Independent Fan Association is likened to a parasite defendant in court.

Such a chairman is not difficult to deal with, and Adrian has a lot of relationships in the UK, so there is now a scene.

"Why would Mr. Kewell want to acquire a Premier League team?" Bates did not answer directly. "After all, English football and American football... are two completely different sports."

He was careful not to express too much emotion beyond words. Almost everyone in Europe knows that the United States is a desert of football. Uncle Sam prefers "barbaric" and "unbeautiful" rugby. However, facing Bates is a media tycoon. Such a big man is not something he can offend. Even if he is disdainful in his heart, he will definitely not show a little bit.

"Every sport has its own charm." Adrian grinned, "I also have a lot of friends in the UK, and I often watch football with them. The warm atmosphere is not that bad. For any sport, every World Cup is a big event."

Of course, it is actually because the Premier League club is probably the only easy entry for European teams. No matter whether it is Spain or Italy, it is impossible to sell the team to outsiders.

After a few more chats, Bates finally talked about the topic: "I know that Chelsea currently have many difficulties, but it is still a team with a long history and its own honor. It has many fans who love it. ——I’m not saying that those parasites are fans who really love it. So even if I want to sell it, I have to find a better owner for it.”

Adrian smiles and has no interface, Bates is still calm: "So even if many people want to buy it, such as a Russian rich man who has contacted me, his bid is the highest, but..."

"How much did he come out?" Adrian suddenly interrupted his speech without any kindness~IndoMTL.com~ Bates frowned slightly, but still gave the answer: "110 million."

He doesn’t dare and will not make a false report on this number. He is not sitting in front of him like the Russians who are foolish and have a lot of money. Adrian has its own network and channels. If he dares to play tricks...

"I give you 220 million." Adrian said casually.

Even though Bates was calm, his throat could not help but visibly shaken, and even after swallowing some saliva, he was reminded of some rudeness: "I am talking about pounds, Mr. Kewell."

"Of course it is the pound, not the Bahraini dinar, nor the Cyprus pound." Adrian smiled again and looked at him with condescending eyes.

So much, did Bates just want to sell the price? Adrian directly gave him twice the price, so he forced him to a dead end. This number has greatly exceeded Bates's psychological expectations. He dare not and can not increase the price. And 220 million pounds also shows the determination of Adrian, not to sell? That would offend him completely.

In short, no matter what aspect, there is no room for discussion. (To be continued...)
