King of Hollywood Chapter 6: Consolation
Chapter 6 Relief
"Okay, okay, Dad is wrong, Dad is wrong, don't cry, okay, Juliet?" Adrian coaxed the second daughter in her arms, but the little guy didn't buy his account at all, and kept crying. The big eyes that were completely inherited from her mother were full of tears, which made Lili laugh more than that. (Go read,
"Lily!" Adrian couldn't help but glared at Lily. This distraction, Juliet cried even more. He had to continue to coax the little guy in a hurry, and Lily suddenly leaked more laughs from her fingers. sound.
Before, Juliet, who was placed on a soft sofa, was doing what babies would do—biting her fingers. The mischievous Lily took her hand away from her mouth several times and told her sister very seriously that biting her hand was not good, no matter if Julie could not understand it. But each time it takes less than a few seconds, the little guy will continue to put his finger in his mouth, and then Lily will take it away again, so the cycle is endless.
Depressingly, Lily teased the little guy for a long time, and the little guy said nothing. After Adrian took her over, she took her hand away twice for hygienic considerations, but Juliet became dissatisfied instead. Crying. Obviously, all the grievances that Lily had made her were passed on to Adrian.
"Let me go, Ed." After feeding Daiwa and coaxing her to sleep, Monica came over, "Julie must be hungry."
"Okay." After hesitation, Adrian handed Juliet to Monica.
When the little guy got involved, he immediately started sucking up, and it seemed that he was really hungry. Adrian couldn't help but scratch his head. Experienced, he has always been accurate in judging the activities of children, but he didn't expect it to be a mistake today.
"I'm not a fool, as long as I'm willing to work hard to sum up their activity rules is not difficult." Monica smiled slightly, her tenderness and tenderness made her quite holy.
However, some people like to destroy this feeling, such as Adrian, he looked at it and sucked his mouth: "I really envy Juliet."
"Ed!" Monica reminded.
"I just talked about my own thoughts. Is there any problem?" Adrian said with a smile, doing a very obvious movement of looking around, and then spread his hands. Lily didn't know where to go at this time, but the nanny took Dawa, who was full of sleep, far away and wouldn't worry about someone hearing.
Monica naturally noticed this, and immediately gave him a glance: "You haven’t tried it..."
It’s enough to say half of the words, and two blushes flew up in my face. I thought I would feed him with Sophie. Even Monica, who had been in battle for a long time, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. a feeling of.
"Okay--Sophie knows it and will be very happy." Adrian digressed and tapped the little head of his daughter who was still greedily eating.
"What's so happy?" Cate's voice was heard at this time. She was carrying a porcelain plate on which she made her own apple pie. Although her cooking has always been not good, she has always been there Find ways to improve.
Deva and Juliet are almost five months old. Adrian often takes time to play with them and Lily, and this is called to cultivate the relationship between sisters. Anyway, Lily likes the two of them, and the two of them Don't hate Lily either. But every time you have time, if you take Lily to Monica and Sophie, Cate will keep up, and when you bring Deva and Juliet to Cate, Monica and Sophie will keep up.
The three women talked about common topics when they were mothers, and the rest of the time was relatively indifferent, so every time Adrian would choose Sarah’s absence, let Monica and Sophie go to Cate Here, at the same time, Charliez is also spread out, so as not to make the already bad atmosphere more strange.
But today Sophie didn’t come because she was busy with a movie, not the one prepared by Adrian for her, but the female director Nancy Meyers’ “100% Men”.
This film Bosworth has investment, so Adrian recommended Keira to get the role of daughter last year. The heroine was originally Helen Hunt, but she didn’t know because she was going to start up in early January this year. What caused the resignation? The crew couldn't find a replacement for a while, and it happened that Sophie recovered well. Adrian immediately recommended it to her when she knew it. As a woman from the fashion capital of Paris, she easily got it Meyers' affirmation. Of course, the hero is still the same as Gibson who has lost some honors because of Adrian.
The film that Adrian arranged for Sophie has obvious goals, but because of pregnancy and childbirth, Sophie disappeared in the media and the public for almost 8 months, so she had to hone her acting skills and regain some popularity. Just fine. It just happened that there was something wrong with "100% of Men". He happened to recommend Sophie to the past. No matter what happened to Helen Hunt who should have appeared smoothly, how could such a good opportunity be spared.
"By the way, I haven’t congratulated you for being nominated for the best actress Oscar." After asking Monica to taste the apple pie, and to talk about a few topics about motherhood, Cate suddenly said so.
"Thank you." Monica smiled and said nothing more.
Adrian, who was watching next to it, couldn’t help laughing, and shook his head gently. Although Cate behaved normally, the slightly tasteful look still couldn’t escape his eyes. That's how she does it, she really wants it but never speaks in front of him, always thinking that it will show that they are doing transactions with each other, just like she used to like to put on a deal to hide herself. The feeling, this contradictory attitude is really... cute!
"Today's pie is a little bit better, did you add anything?" When Cate brought the remaining pie back to the kitchen, Adrian walked in.
"As usual." Cate shrugged and handled himself.
"Is it possible for the servant to do it?" Adrian hugged her waist from behind.
"I like to do it myself, is it okay?" Cate finally turned around and grunted.
"Of course," Adrian smiled and kissed her on the back of the neck, and then deliberately changed the subject, "Speaking of which, it is really not easy for Monica to win the Oscar nomination for Best Actress."
Cate took a clear deep breath, then turned around and asked casually: "Really? Then what are the chances of winning"
"Not high, so I spent a lot of time." Adrian said with a shrug.
Harvey Weinstein finally agreed to his request. As he said before, the Weinstein brothers can even jump on the stage to perform striptease as long as they have money to make. Others may say that the big production trilogy is still open for discussion, but it’s another story from the director of Miracle. If so, why not try hard to put it together? For the Weinstein brothers who are familiar with the operation and tone of the film school, this is definitely not particularly difficult. Although 100% is still impossible, it can be approached indefinitely, not to mention the resources of the media can be freely allocated.
And Adrian is very accurate, and what he said is correct, the Weinstein brothers have always hoped that Miramax can be responsible for some big productions, so that Miramax can develop into a big film company. Disney, who was supposed to acquire them, was because of its conservative style for teenagers and the inconsistency of miraculous Miramax, and they were positioned as auxiliary roles, so they eventually parted ways.
But there is no such problem in the media. After the acquisition of Miramax, it also worked very well. Although the Weinstein brothers worried about it for a while after Universal was acquired, there was no conflict with the media. Adrian also knows that 100% is impossible, unless the entire film academy is bought out, and the big production trilogy is not only to calm their hearts, but also to make them work harder in public relations and fight.
Of course, Adrian has not forgotten to attach some conditions. The three best actresses who need their full PR must be developed by him. At the same time, the trilogy will not be established until 02 at the earliest.
"Monica is really lucky." Cate couldn't help saying this.
Adrian couldn't help but chuckled, and began to move her hands up from her waist: "Yes, there is a character you may try. "Agent Belle" and "28 Days" are done like this Over time, you should have enough rest."
"Don't you say that the script of "Tomb Raider" is still being written?" Cate first thought of this.
"Yes, but I am talking about another script." Adrian said with a smile, "a relatively literary script."
"You want me to make two movies a year again?" Cate turned around and frowned slightly.
"So what? Didn’t you also star in two movies last year?" Adrian smiled at her face, "This movie is also adapted from a novel and has more room to play than "28 days" ."
The script adapted from the novel has this advantage. As long as you get the right to adapt, you can do it in advance or later. Just like the "Human Bone Jigsaw" for Monica, the movie that was supposed to be released last year is now in preparation, and it will take some time to start production. Of course, Denzel Washington is still a male protagonist.
In short, as long as it still conforms to the current social environment, it does not matter that the delay is at all, as is the one prepared for Cate.
"You know, seniority is necessary to get the best actress Oscar." Adrian kissed the lips of Cate.
The title of the British Rose is nice and nice, and it also has some advantages, but it is more restricted. It is not so easy to get the best actress of the Oscar.
"Sounds like... are you all ready?" Cate was a little uncomfortable, and her eyelids were lowered, like smirking but more hesitating.
"Of course, my baby, although a little troublesome and time-consuming, I have already arranged it." Adrian uses a nasty name.
After all, Cate is the first woman after his rebirth, and the mother of the first child. Even if you want to get the best actress, you need to get a real and beautiful scenery instead of relying on public relations.
"If you doubt again, I will strip you off in the face of Monica..." He then threatened again, even though he swallowed half a sentence, he knew what he wanted to say when he laughed. What, Cate immediately gave him an elbow.
Just when Adrian wanted to pretend to be painful, knocking on the door rang, and after getting permission, a maid walked into the kitchen with a mobile phone.
"A lady calls you, Mr. Adrian." The other party said.
"Okay, thank you." Although Adrian said with a smile, he sighed in his stomach. If he was in his mansion, Yuhui Hui would call him out and explain the situation, not in front of Cate. surface.
Maybe it's better to take Lily, Deva and Juliet to yourself later. Adrian who took the phone thought of it, and then he heard who was on the phone, and then made an sorry gesture to Cate and went out.
Cate sighed, put the remaining apple pie on the plate down two or three times and kept busy for a while, just about to go out, but Adrian suddenly came in.
"Sorry, Cate, I'm going out." Adrian said with apology, "may not return at night."
"Got it." Cate replied somewhat helplessly, "Remember to tell Monica."
"Of course." Adrian smiled and kissed her, and turned to leave the kitchen.
"Can I know what it is?" Cate suddenly asked.
"Uh..." Adrian stopped and turned back a little later, smiling awkwardly, pointing to Cate's abdomen, and then quickly slipped away.
Cate thought for a few minutes before I realized it, but unfortunately Adrian has run away without a trace, even if the face came down.
Hello to Monica in the living room and kiss the three little guys one by one. Adrian then drove away from the villa. It’s not a big deal, it’s not small, it’s just pregnancy syndrome. Although it’s just over a month, the belly is not obvious at all, but Jessica is not even 20 years old. Ups and downs, it is normal to look for dependence.
"Look, don't I come right away? So don't worry." Sitting on the Jessica's sofa, Adrian said hugging her intimately.
"I'm just a little... afraid." Jessica snuggled in her arms and said docilely.
For the purpose of taking care of her, and worrying that she will be alone, the feeling of insecurity will be more exuberant. Adrian hired a middle-aged woman to take care of her-of course, the quality is the best-if not Considering that a sudden move might attract the attention of her family, Adrian had already let her live in Beverly Hills.
"Don’t be afraid, no one knows more about this matter at the moment," Adrian continues to coax her, "And there is no delay, "Keep the last dance" has already been filmed, "Dark Angel" No. The shooting of the second season is coming to an end, and you don’t have much drama, just at ease to cultivate."
After a pause, he said again: "Although I have a new movie to start next month, if you want, you can go to the crew to play. We are going to Missouri. The forest over there is beautiful."
"I...I will consider it." Jessica nodded.
Seeing her look like this, Adrian couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Frankly speaking, Jessica is not as fun-loving as a few years later, so there was no need to force her by that means. But it’s okay to do everything, and Jessica took the initiative to choose the third one. As for the fear in her heart, it will slowly disappear with the birth of the child, but I don’t know this time Will it be a daughter again, and it is so...囧.
Adrian coaxed Jessica all afternoon and made her giggles, and the whole person was a lot of fun, and she slept in her arms at night. However, after waking up in the morning, one leg straddled his lower abdomen, almost crawling on him. Fortunately, if two months later, she could not let her sleep in this position. It can be seen from this that she was pregnant and nobody could remove it, which gave her a big blow, but... this is what Adrian wants to see, isn't it?
Although the woman and daughter who take care of them both spend time and energy, Adrian did not put down the work, such as choosing the right little actor for "Bone in Winter", he did not have so much time to go to Missouri Detailed selection, in the final analysis, whether the actor conforms to the character image, in addition to his own strength, the makeup artist is also indispensable. The children born in the local may have a temperamental addition, but this is optional.
If the good acting children are eliminated because of this, then it will affect the shooting. Adrian has another movie to be produced this year. "Bone in the Winter" was added midway, so he only gave It took me 6 weeks to shoot.
In addition, he has to ask many movie projects, especially those for his own women.
"I am very optimistic about you, Steven, especially after watching the "Strategy Master" directed by you, I know that you are finally beginning to face yourself." Adrian leaning on the high-back chair spread his hands, although Some lazy, but the expression is very serious.
“Thank you, I’m very honored to get a comment from Director Miracle~IndoMTL.com~ The man who was sitting at his desk who was less than 40 years old pushed his glasses and said in a slightly teasing situation.
"Come on, Steven, you are also eligible to be called a miracle director." Adrian laughed.
The man in front of him who he called Steven is not Steven Spielberg, but Steven Soderbergh, the youngest person before the Adrian Golden Palm Awards . Although he basically took the niche route, with the release of "Strategy Master" produced in 1998, he also began to develop into commercial films, so Adrian asked him to direct a film that should be directed by him: "Drugs" The internet"!
Speaking of this, the process of this movie falling into his hands is very interesting. The original original version was a British TV series. It was produced in 1989 and was later sold to a Hollywood producer for copyright. However, no one has invested for a long time. In the end, it was easy to persuade the Fox searchlight, but it was shelved because of various candidate problems. Finally, it was taken by the global flagship film industry.
Each major film company has a small company that specializes in investment and production of art films, such as Fox’s Fox Searchlight, and Universal’s Focus Film. When they got it, it was already at the end of 1999, and it was discovered by Adrian, who often browsed the company's scripts.
