King of Hollywood

Chapter 226: Successful Purchase

“Okay, little guy, get up.” Adrian, leaning over the bed dressed in clothes, feared climbing to the bed beside him, a little girl holding his corner with one hand, some funny words.

“Sleepy...” Emma rubbed her eyes, and Ha Hao refused to get up in bed.

“Really.” Adrian shook her head and dressed the little girl like before, trying to tease her while she could, but seeing as how she was sleepy, she gave up on this idea. If the little guy is just a little confused, he'll be hip-hopping and playing with him, and very angry if he's too sleepy.

After getting dressed, Adrian took the little guy out of the bedroom and the middle-aged woman who was preparing breakfast greeted him warmly: "Good morning, Mr. Adrian, I need your help. ”

“Don't worry, I'll take care of her, Mai.” Adrian, as usual, shook his head and refused.

Then he went into the bathroom of the apartment and combed for Emma, who was already a little sober. The biggest surprise since June is not Claude's acquisition plan, not Jobs' upcoming Pix, but Emma's arrival.

When she first got the call, Adrian didn't believe that, after all, a child like her could not leave the country without a guardian, and her guardian, Rodrin, was now resting at home with a big tummy, and George naturally couldn't have left her alone, so who could bring Emma to the United States?

But just to explain, Rodrin, they found their distant cousin, Mai, who just cooked breakfast? Quinlan plays this role, so it's not a problem.

In that case, Adrian promised to come down, and although he didn't say anything else, he guessed something. Ever since he last found out that Rodrine was pregnant and saw the little girl's slightly lukewarm appearance, he understood that some things were coming sooner or later, not to mention that when he spoke to Emma, the little guy didn't show any grievances or anything bad, but he was anxious to see his mood fully expressed in his tone.

“Drinking milk again...” Emma had become radiant after coming out of the bathroom, just seeing her face collapse again after breakfast.

“Of course, it's good for you, darling, if you don't drink, you won't be strong, if you won't be strong, I'll be sad.” Adrian sighed and followed with a "sad” look.

This technique was 100% effective, the little guy immediately panicked and drank with a big mouthful of cup, even though his face still had a reluctant look on it.

Knocking on the door, Charlize, wearing a white long-sleeved t-shirt and jeans, walked in and sat down for breakfast while delivering today's schedule to Adrian.

“Thank you." Adrian laughed, reaching under the table and squeezing a handful on her thigh.

“You're welcome.” Charlize kept smiling, but squeezed the word out of his teeth.

Because Emma wanted to sleep in a bed with Adrian, Mai naturally couldn't get too far away, so Charlize, who used to live next door to Adrian, gave up the room and lived across the street.

This makes Adrian a little uncomfortable. After all, it's more pleasant to wake up every morning and watch a beautiful young woman make breakfast than it is to watch a middle-aged woman make breakfast. But he didn't think much of it. With Emma around, and a lot of reporters at work, he'd be around any minute, and of course he couldn't do anything. Even when Monica called yesterday, the show in New York was finished and he declined the invitation to go out with him before he left.

After breakfast, Adrian took Charlize and Emma to the set, Mai didn't have to come, Charlize, who had a good relationship with the little girl, would take care of her, and after a few days of contact, she and Natalie got along well.

Outside the set, there were a lot fewer reporters watching than the days he first arrived in New York, after all, chasing the director was far less newsworthy than chasing a star. But today fewer people are more active than before, first because the two parties concealed, half true and half false answers made the matter quite stubborn and kept a certain amount of heat; second, today's film scene is the outside of the police station, Adrian will not be able to hide in the apartment as before, which gives journalists a chance.

“Keep them as far away as you can.” Adrian also knew that they wouldn't stop without giving these guys a little benefit, so he simply answered a few questions and told the associate director to get rid of them.

Although the journalists were not satisfied, Adrian's answers were almost identical to previous statements, but they were kicked out of the set. You know, none of the crews will allow reporters to be around while they're shooting, otherwise it's possible to sue them for influencing progress, and even if Adrian answers pretty much, just give it a little play.

“Nada, I need you to feel angry and unhappy, but this anger can't be obvious, okay?” Adrian plays for Natalie while others are busy setting the scene.

“Um... can you see this?” Natalie thought about it, brewing it and closing her eyes, opening it after a few seconds, compared to the brown eyes that had gone through a layer of sadness, lips in a line, seemingly biting lips.

“Very good,” Adrian exclaimed, “looks like you've completely recovered, Nada. ”

Instead of showing joy in his praise, Natalie glanced at him and ignored his presence, teasing Emma, who grabbed his legs. Adrian didn't think so either, afraid to shoot the little guy in the head, suggesting that she could go play with Natalie and talk to someone immediately.

That's why Emma was the biggest surprise of June, and that day was the first time Natalie made a difference to him because she was with him -- she came down from upstairs, he looked at it, he thought she should have adjusted, but he didn't expect it to be that sensitive. It was a surprise.

At the same time, it distracted Natalie and made her forget what day it was, so the birthday party that followed gave her a big surprise. You know, he's spent a lot of time planning this party since he left New York, and not only did he talk to Natalie's parents on the phone for a long time, but he also dragged Oldman back to the crew.

His approach proved to be correct, with Natalie having had her initial excitement and surprise at her birthday party that day, waiting for her father to leave and start playing wildly. What's more, where are the photos and videos, especially between Adrian and Natalie, that have been circulating among the staff for a long time.

Natalie in the photo stared at the lens and looked as if she was going to bite. Her arm was hooked on Adrian's neck as if she were pulling hard, and Adrian spit her tongue with white eyes and seemed to be strangled. So Natalie was really excited that day.

But for Adrian, another photo is worth keeping in mind. It was almost the end of the party, and Natalie, who was enjoying herself, had probably fainted and held his head from the side and spanked his face with a firm kiss. The person who took the photo pressed the shutter at the same time, and the intimate appearance was preserved.

Although Natalie's feelings improved a lot - at least not so much anymore - even if she didn't return to her previous situation because of his birthday party, the photo was still not cold or hot on his face.

Adrian doesn't care. Birthday party was a success anyway, isn't it? On the other hand, take your time, there's time, there's no rush.

“Gary, I'm not going to tell you anything specific. It's all up to you, okay?” After a big turn, Adrian came to Oldman, where he had changed into Steiner's iconic beige suit, rubbing his cheeks and begun to breed evil.

“No problem, I know what to do.” Oldman nodded with a smile and looked at Adrian as if he wanted to say something else, but shrugged away after two seconds of hesitation.

Although Oldman took the words back to his mouth, Adrian understood what he was trying to say, just by looking at the look on the face of the crew during this time. After all, Monica came to visit the crew in three days, but she had a history. I didn't expect Adrian to come back to Los Angeles and have a scandal with Julia. With those statements, I knew that the relationship between the two people was never simple. It was really...

Of course, after all, it was his personal business, so nobody would say anything, let alone reveal it to reporters, and most of the staff had made several films with Adrian, and they knew that he would not be soft on the situation; and Oldman, as an actor, was born to reject puppies and naturally wouldn't talk nonsense. This guy Renault, because of the romantic atmosphere characteristic of the French, has done a lot of side hitting on Adrian, but every time Adrian turns the subject around without leaving a trace.

“You're a cunning guy, Ed.” Reynolds concludes.

Cunning is cunning. When everyone is cunning, Adrian immediately invests in shooting. Although this year needs to make a movie, there are other things to observe, to prepare, his foundation is half good, and the other half needs to be tightened up.

So, a week after the shooting, he paused again and went back to Los Angeles, because Claude had successfully bought Pix from Jobs. One willing to sell one willing to buy, so the deal didn't take long, and Claude wanted to crush the price, but when he thought about what Adrian had told him to do, he ended up with $52 million. And it's very important that Adrian stop filming and drive back from New York to stabilize Pix's people.
