King of Hollywood Chapter 187: Lily’s charm

No matter how enviable and jealous the major Hollywood movie companies are, they cannot stop "Titanic" from staying in the top 15 box office charts in North America, which is a record of their own record.

Adrian didn't put too much energy on it, just told him to continue to maintain proper publicity, at least let the big ship support the Christmas-New Year period.

"As long as this period has passed, we can make this miracle more difficult to surpass." He said so.

Although "Titanic" has earned enough at the box office, the crown of the most popular movie in film history has also been worn on the head. There are also many fans who have watched ten consecutive games, but they want to continue to make big profits at the end of this year. It is impossible to return to the top ten. Adrian also knows this, he arranged so but wanted to make the miracle a little more miracle in his hands, you know, even the original record has not been reached yet.

Of course, we can’t see the result yet, so we have to support the current schedule first, so he pays more attention to other things, such as the schedule of the three upcoming movies. Among the three movies, only " "End of the World" is best for the whole family to watch. "A Time to Kill" is a feature film and "City of Los Angeles" belongs to the nostalgic crowd. If the release time cannot be arranged reasonably, it may have a counterproductive effect.

As for the first episode of "The Matrix", if you pay a lot of overtime, you should be able to complete all the later stages in mid-December, but the time for publicity may not be enough. Thinking about it for a long time, Adrian still gave up on The plan to be released this year. This also reminded him that with the release of the big ship, there will be more and more movies with special effects as the selling point in the future, and the production cycle, especially in the later period, will become longer and longer, so he will direct this afterwards. In the case of movies, then this situation must be taken into account.

In addition, he has to ask for the preparation and production of several new movies. After the masterpiece was sold and the film adaptation rights were sold, people began to prepare. For more than a year, Adrian did not Talk less with the person in charge, although the progress is not very fast, don’t forget that there is one year left next year. The movie prepared for Monica has also been put on the agenda, no accident can be turned on next summer, Adrian is also fully prepared, let some people understand what is called implicit temptation, of course, the avatar still has to prepare of.

Operation Swordfish, which was originally planned to recruit Wolverine, has also been officially established. The film is still good in terms of production, but unfortunately it was unlucky and encountered a very bad schedule, otherwise it would not be Selling seats and recovering costs through the box office should be no problem. As for the actor, I haven’t contacted Jackman yet. I have to wait for Owitz to sign him first. Sean Pan has initially agreed after reading the script. As for Harry Berry, Adrian will take the time to go. Talk to her.

Others, the script of "The Expendables" has been officially completed, fully abiding by the rules of Hollywood commercial movies, with an introductory team member at the beginning of the title, and then handing over the task to collect the money. Daughter found an unknown secret on the way to rescue, and then revealed it. You don't need too much brain, the main thing is that the tough guys show their muscles.

"I and I look forward to working with them." Schwarzenegger finally agreed, and the pay was also very good. As for such a generous reason, it goes without saying.

But this is just the beginning, there are more players to be sure, even if the action actors on the list cannot be all pulled in, at least they must be drawn to more than half.

All of these have been prepared, but "Spider-Man" has been slightly delayed, and Adrian will arrange for it to be started at the end of next year. Although Sam Remy is seeking transformation, he still has no schedule because there are still movies to be directed and produced-since he did a good job in the original version, why can't he still be held responsible? And the default heroine Kirsten also has a new movie to be completed: "Beautiful Girl Cheerleaders"!

Thanks to the habit of reading the scripts of various film companies, Adrian discovered the script of the movie from the new line last year, and then took it in his own hands, which young girl was going to appear. But since Kirsten doesn't want to spend this awkward age too plainly, it doesn't matter if she is the heroine, then she knows that the transformation of the vase is not so easy.

Of course, this series will be handed over to the new line. Yes, yes, this can be made into a series. In the various events in the United States, the cheerleaders are a unique landscape. The captain of the school cheerleaders Usually also the most popular girl. Therefore, the film is positioned as a mid-investment market for young people, and it is suitable for holding those newcomers.

As for "Spider-Man", the copyright is in the hands, so why not worry about when it will be released, will it?

But these things can't be done immediately, and it will take a lot of time, so the most urgent thing for Adrian is...

"This is not good," the little guy shook his head like a rattle, and then extended his little finger to the fruit salad on the other side of the table. "That, I want it."

"Lily." Adrian put down the knife and fork in his hand and yelled in a low tone.

"It doesn't matter, she just likes it." Martha smiled, waved back the servant who wanted to come up to help, and put a small plate of fruit salad for Lily in front of her.

"Thank you, grandma." the little guy screamed with milk, followed by slipping from the seat, and then ran to the top of the long table with a dish shaking, pushing the fruit salad down in front of the old man.

"This is...for me?" Anderson looked at the little guy in surprise.

"Uh!" The little guy nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling at him without blinking, full of hope.

"...Why...give me?" The uncle, who has been faceless since Adrian entered the door, could not help but slow down in the face of the well-behaved Lily.

"Grandpa has no expression on his face, which is not good." The little guy replied seriously after thinking his head tilted, "Grandpa has never eaten this, this is delicious, and it will be happy to eat."

"So you came over for me, right?" The old man's face became softer, and he reached out and stroked the little guy's head before he whispered: "Thank you for your gift , You are really a little lady, if I don’t mind, can I kiss you?"

Although Lily didn’t understand it, she probably understood what Grandpa meant. She hesitated and shrank her neck, but then she lifted her chest and closed her eyes as if she were dead.

"This... what is this for?" Anderson looked at her curiously, and then looked at his wife at the dining table and Adrian and Cate. They were all unclear.

Rao is the case. Anderson still bent down and gently touched the little girl’s face, and then the little girl giggled.

"It's very different." Lily grabbed her face where Grandpa kissed her, and her curvy eyes looked at him with curiosity.

"Oh? What's different?" Anderson asked quickly.

"It's very soft and itchy, unlike another grandpa, it's very hard." The little girl pointed to the beard on Anderson's chin.

Anderson laughed rare, and touched her head again: "I'm glad you like it, Lily, go back to your place."

After a pause, he looked at Adrian: "Bring your father a fruit salad."

Unexpectedly Lily shook her head very firmly: "No, Dad doesn't need it!"

"Oh?"

"Dad is the villain!"

Compared with previous sentences, there are still some ambiguities in pronunciation, but this sentence is quite clear and fluent, obviously it has been said many times. Anderson froze, and burst out bursting into laughter. The shaking of his head seemed not to have been so happy for a long time. His hearty laugh quickly infected other people in the room. Not only did the aunt and Cate laugh, even The servant who was serving next to him was also snickering.

The only one who didn’t smile was Adrian. He glanced down at his daughter who didn’t know what everyone was laughing but followed, laughing, and stuffed a thin slice of Thanksgiving turkey into his mouth:" Okay, I'm a badass."

After the Thanksgiving dinner, Anderson naturally had to ask Adrian to leave the study, leaving Cate to take his daughter and aunt Martha to chat in another room.

"You are not married, are you?" Anderson asked indulgently after entering the room, and the expression on his face was restored to the old one.

"Yes." Adrian replied calmly.

"So Lily is an illegitimate child?" the old man asked further.

"If the traditional words mean it, then yes." Adrian smiled slightly.

Anderson snorted heavily, how could he not hear what he said, and walked around the study room twice, the old man sighed: "Before you said she was two years old, do you plan to Always like this?"

Followed by a low murmur: "I actually knew it later than the old guy Benedict."

After hearing this sentence, Adrian almost laughed. I never thought that the unspoken uncle would have such a side, but it also shows that Lily is popular wherever she goes. Cate was still a little worried when he decided to bring his daughter to New York. She had been there a few times and knew about Anderson’s temper, but Adrian didn’t care about it. This phenomenon is very common even if he is uncle There will be dissatisfaction and it will only come to him.

Now, the performance of aunts and uncles have proved that his judgment is correct.

"Almost." Adrian shrugged, still maintaining his candidness. From the decision to bring Lily to his uncle's house, he knew that these things could not be avoided.

"Can you really say that?" Anderson sneered. "It's the first one to say this kind of thing in the Kewell family. Well, even if you don't think about it for you...lovers, you Always think about the children?! Not daring to take responsibility for the family. This is a cowardly act! It also violates our tradition!"

"I'm not afraid, I just don't want to." Adrian replied lazily, "I will not give up the whole forest for a tree, uncle."

Anderson immediately frowned, showing obvious dissatisfaction, but Adrian immediately raised his hand and shook it: "I know what you want to say, uncle, if it is taken literally, I very much agree, but The question is how many people actually do this? There are more than one lover after marriage, even...my father used to have it."

He said he smiled softly, and Anderson coughed dryly, frowning and not speaking.

"If you want to do it, you must do it. I am confident that I can do it, but the problem is that I don’t want to do it. I want to experience a more colorful life. Why do I have to do it now? "Adrian spread his hands and kept the calm look. "In any case, Lily is the daughter of Cate and me. No one can deny and no one can separate us."

Silent for a while, Anderson sighed again, and looked at him with a complex look: "You are nothing like your father on this, although when my father and I were young...it was quite like your grandfather. Style."

Adrian could not help raising his eyebrows. He never knew about his grandfather, but when he read the diary left by his father, he vaguely knew that he was still romantic until his middle age, and his relationship with grandma was not Very good, probably because of the marriage of giants, but still very concerned about the two children.

If he is still alive, there may be many common languages ​​between us. Adrian couldn't help thinking. Listening to the uncle's tone, Grandpa was probably far more than that. It happened that there was a very reasonable explanation for what he did.

"How are you talking?" asked Cate who returned to the bedroom after coaxing her daughter to sleep with Adrian.

"It's nothing. Although my uncle is old-fashioned, it's not that he doesn't know the flexible person." Adrian shrugged, took off his coat and left it aside.

"Is it?" Cate's tone was faint, but there was something faint.

"But he wanted me to marry you." Adrian suddenly said with a grin, sat down next to her, embraced her waist, placed her head on her shoulder, and smelled the fragrance, "What do you say to me? ?"

"Do you think this is interesting?" Cate gave him a soft hum after looking at him, and then turned to himself in the vanity mirror. After a long sigh, he said again: "In the first time...I thought when I was pregnant Yes, but... I know, I know very well that you will never agree. When you didn’t even deceive me, I knew what kind of person you were."

"Oh? So what kind of person am I?" Adrian sighed softly in her ear.

Cate suddenly half of his body, and angrily glared at him, then stared at himself in the vanity mirror and Adrian for a moment, his eyes became confused: "I don’t know, or, I can’t describe it... probably It is because of this that I will easily fall into your carefully woven trap."

"Remember what I said, Cate?" Adrian laughed, "You actually understand, why do you have to use other excuses to deny it?"

"...Maybe it's a little unwilling," Cate murmured.

"So, there will be a party in the Upper East Side of Manhattan tomorrow, would you like to accompany me?" Adrian suddenly said again.

"Party? What kind of party?" Cate is also happy to change the subject.

"What else can there be, high-class people get together, talk about each other's current situation, communicate with each other, maybe they can seize a good opportunity." Adrian said lying on his back on the bed depressed, "God, really Hope Crow is here."

Adrian does not exclude such gatherings. Many times, many things are initially finalized in this place, and the network is also expanded here, but his ability in business is not good after all, a little deeper topic It may make him feel timid. When encountering this kind of topic, it is usually Claude's interface that he adds from the side, but if Claude is not there...

"So what do you think, Ed, about the impact of the baht crisis." The old man asked with a smile, he had a square face, half a hundred of hair was neatly combed, a little blessed but 5 feet 11 Inch's height makes him look sturdy, and his smile is very kind, with a simple pair of glasses, a suit and leather shoes, and a gentleman, like a university professor.

"There is no doubt that expansion in the Asian financial crisis is a sure thing," Adrian shrugged. "The countries of East Asia to Southeast Asia are almost the same as Thailand."

"You seem to be missing a country, Ed." the old man reminded.

"Yes, I know, but if international hot money is going to provoke them, maybe they will suffer a small loss." Adrian said easily, "After all, that country is not the same as us, and they are very good at concentrating their strength. For major events, no matter how huge the international hot money is, it is impossible to recognize the blow of an undisturbed sovereign state."

"You have to admit that you have a great reference for your words," the old man nodded with a smile after thinking for a moment, "You seem to know China well, Ed."

"There are some, not many, but among Americans ~IndoMTL.com~ is relatively well understood." Adrian smiled, "My Chinese is also very good."

"Ha, that's good news. If you don't have your own company, we may be able to hire you as a consultant for Chinese issues." The old man laughed.

"Well, if one day I no longer serve as the chairman of the media, and if Goldman Sachs still needs it, I will be happy to serve you, Mr. Warren." Adrian owed slightly.

"You are really good, Ed, and my eyes are rarely missed," the old man continued to laugh, and then patted his shoulder, "Okay, I have other things, I won't be with you Chat now."

Adrian then made a casual gesture, watching the other person walk into the crowd, and then let out a long and complete breath. If we continue to talk, the goods in our stomachs will be emptied. That's why we have seen this old man a few times before, but we rarely talk for a long time. It's not that he doesn't want it. Buffett does have the temperament of a scholar, but it does not mean that he is really a scholar. Just like he is generous in charity, the essence of a businessman will not change.

Think fast and have a lot of insight. This is the evaluation given to him by Adrian. Fortunately, he has finally left.
