King of Hollywood

No matter how jealous Hollywood movie companies are, they can't stop the Titanic from staying in the top 15 North American box office, refreshing their record.

Adrian hasn't put much effort into this either, just keeping the propaganda moderate under the admonition, at least to keep the big boat going through the Christmas - New Year period.

“As long as this period passes, we can make this miracle even more difficult to overcome.” That's what he said. [Search latest updates all over]

Although the Titanic has earned enough money for the box office, the laurel crown of the most sold film in film history has been worn on its head, and there are a lot of fans watching 10 movies in a row, it is impossible to make a lot of money or even go back to the top ten at the end of the year. Adrian knows that, and he arranges it this way, but he wants to make it a little more miraculous in his own hands, you know, even the original record hasn't been reached yet.

Of course, this can't be seen yet, so he has to survive the current period, so he is more concerned about other things, such as the slotting of three upcoming films. Of the three films, only The End of the World is best for the whole family to watch. The Moment of the Kill is a drama film, and the L.A. Secret belongs to a nostalgic crowd. If it can't be reasonably scheduled for the show, it might be counterproductive.

As for the first song of The Hacker Empire, if you pay a hefty overtime, you should be able to complete all the late stages by mid-December, but there may not be enough time to publicize it, and Adrian has given up his intention to show it this year after a long time. This also reminded him that with the screening of the big boat, more films with special effects as a selling point will become available in the future, and the production cycle, especially in the later stages, will become longer and longer, so if he wants to direct such films in the future, then this must be taken into account.

Beyond that, he also asked about the preparation and production of several new films, which had begun to be prepared after selling the right to adapt the film, and Adrian had spoken to the director for more than a year, although progress had not been quick, and don't forget that there was still a year left next year. The movie for Monica is on the agenda, and not surprisingly, it can be turned on next summer, and Adrian is equally well prepared to make some people understand what implicit temptation is, of course, to prepare for a double.

Operation Swordfish, which originally planned to recruit Wolverine Wolf, has also been officially set up. The film is still good in terms of production. Unfortunately, it has not been lucky enough to meet a pretty bad slot. Otherwise, even if it does not sell, there should be no problem in recovering the cost from the box office. As for the actor, there's no contact with Jackman yet. We'll have to wait for Orvitz to sign him first. Sean? Pan read the script and made a preliminary promise. And Harry? Barry, Adrian will take the time to talk to her personally.

Otherwise, the script of "Death Squad" has been officially completed, fully abiding by the rules of Hollywood commercial films, putting an introduction to the team at the beginning, then handing over the task to collect the money, the leaking fish wants revenge, then kidnaps Captain Stallon's daughter, discovers unknown secrets during the rescue, and then reveals them. It doesn't take a lot of brains, it's mostly the tough guys showing their muscles.

“I look forward to working with them.” Schwarzenegger finally promised, and the film pays well, for such a generous reason, it goes without saying.

But this is just the beginning, and there are more players to be sure that if not all of the actresses on the list will have to pull in, at least half.

These are all starting to be prepared, but Spider-Man has been delayed slightly, and Adrian has scheduled it to go live by the end of next year. Sam Remy is looking for a transformation, but there are films that need to be directed and produced that are currently out of date - if he's doing well with the original, why can't he still be held accountable? And the inner actress Kirsten has a new movie to complete: The Pretty Girl Cheerleader!

Thanks to the habit of reading screenplays from movie companies, Adrian discovered the film's script from the newline last year and then took it in his own hands to show it to a young girl. But since Kirsten doesn't want to go through this awkward age bracket too flat, it doesn't matter to have her as the lead actress, and she'll know that it's not that easy to transform the vase.

And of course, this series is up to the new line, and yes, yes, it can be a series, where cheerleaders are a unique landscape, and cheerleaders in schools are usually the most popular girls. So the film is positioned as a medium investment market for teenagers, and it's perfect for those new recruits.

As for Spider-Man, the copyright is in hand, so why plan on showing it when?

But these things aren't ready to be done, and it takes a lot of time, so Adrian's most urgent thing right now is...

“This, it's not good,” the little guy shook his head like a drum, and then extended his little finger to the fruit salad on the other side of the table, "that, yes. ”

“Lily.” Adrian put down the knife and fork in his hand and shouted in a low tone of caution.

“It's okay, she just likes it.” Martha smiled and backed off the maid who wanted to come up and put a small dish of fruit salad in front of Lily herself.

“Thank you, Grandma.” The little guy screamed softly, then slipped down from his seat and ran to the top of the long table with a dish, pushing the fruit salad down in front of the old man.

“Is this for me?” Anderson looked at the little guy with some surprise.

“Mmm!" the little guy nodded forcefully and his bright crystal eyes didn't blink and looked at him with hope.

“… why… give it to me?” From the moment Adrian walked in the door with his face on his face, Lily had to slow down in the face.

“Grandpa didn't have a look on his face, which was bad.” The little guy thought about it and then replied seriously, "Grandpa hasn't eaten this. This is delicious and will make you happy. ”

“So you came all the way over here for me, huh?” The old man's face grew softer and softer, reaching out and touching the little guy's head before he said softly: “Thank you for the gift, you are such a little lady, can I kiss you if you don't mind? ”

Lily didn't quite understand, but she probably understood what Grandpa meant. She hesitated and shrunk her neck again, but then pushed her chest up, closing her eyes and looking at her like she was dead.

“What is this... what is this?” Anderson looked at her curiously, at his wife at the table, and at Adrian and Kate, who all looked confused.

Forgive me, but Anderson bent over, gently beat the little girl's face, and the little girl giggled.

“It's very different.” Lily grabbed the spot Grandpa kissed on her face and looked at him with curiosity in her bent eyes.

“Oh, what's different?” Anderson asked.

“It's soft, itchy, unlike another grandpa, that's hard.” The little girl pointed to the moustache on Anderson's chin.

Anderson smiled and touched her head again: "Glad you like it, Lily, go back to your place. ”

After a pause, he looked at Adrian: "Bring your dad a fruit salad too. ”

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

“Oh?”

“Daddy's a bad guy! ”

Certain sentences are somewhat vague when pronounced, but they are quite clear and fluent, and have obviously been said many times. Anderson beamed and burst into laughter. The shaking of his head seemed as if he had not been so happy in a long time. The sharp laughter quickly infected the rest of the house. Not only did his aunt and Kate laugh, but even the servants who served beside him laughed.

The only one who didn't laugh was Adrian, who looked depressed and didn't know what everyone was laughing at but followed his daughter with a thin piece of Thanksgiving turkey in her mouth: "Okay, I'm a bad guy. ”

After Thanksgiving dinner, Anderson naturally had to send Adrian to the study and leave Kate with her daughter to chat with Aunt Martha in the other room.

“You're not married, are you?” After entering the room, Anderson asked politely, and the expression on his face restored the old plaque.

“Yes.” Adrian answered frankly.

“So Lily's a bastard?” The old man asked further.

“If that's what the traditional word means, then yes.” Adrian smiled.

Anderson hummed so hard, how could he not hear what he was saying? He walked two laps in the study and the old man sighed: “You said she was two years old before, are you going to keep doing this? ”

And he whispered, "I know it's too late for that old Benedict guy. ”

After hearing this, Adrian almost laughed. I really didn't expect that my uncle, who spoke ruthlessly, would still have this side, but it also means that Lily was popular everywhere she went. Kate was a little worried when he decided to bring his daughter to New York before. She came here a few times, and she knew Anderson's temper, but Adrian didn't pay attention to it. Kissing her next generation was common, and even if her uncle was unhappy, she would only come to him.

Now, the performance of both aunts and uncles proves his judgment to be correct.

“Almost.” Adrian shrugged and remained honest with himself, knowing these things were inescapable from the moment he decided to take Lily to her uncle's house.

“Can you really say that?” Anderson sneered, "and he was the first in the Corwell family to say that. Well, even if you don't think for your... lover, do you always think for the child?! It's cowardly behavior! Against our traditions! ”

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

Anderson frowned and showed obvious dissatisfaction, but then Adrian shook his hand up and shook: “I know what you're trying to say, uncle, if literally speaking, I agree very much, but the question is, how many people actually did this? There's more than one lover after marriage, even my father once did. ”

Speaking of which, he laughed softly, Anderson coughed dry and frowned without a lumen.

“If I want to do it, then I must do it, and I am confident that I can do it, but the question is, I don't want to do it, I want to go through a more colorful life, why do I have to do it now?” Adrian stretched his hands apart and kept that blatant look, "Anyway, Lily was my daughter and Kate, and no one could deny it, no one could separate us. ”

After being silent, Anderson sighed again and looked at him with complexity: "You don't look like your father at all on this, although when I was younger with your father... it was quite your grandfather's style. ”

Adrian couldn't help but pick his eyebrows. He never knew anything about his grandfather. However, when reading his father's diary, he knew that he was still in flux until middle age, and his relationship with Grandma was not very good. There were probably also reasons for the luxury marriage, but he still cared about the two children.

If he were still alive, there might be a lot of common language between us. Adrian couldn't help but think so. Listen to your uncle's tone, I'm afraid Grandpa was far more than that, and just in time, there was a very reasonable explanation for what he did.

“How was your conversation?” After putting her daughter to bed with Adrian, she went back to Kate in the bedroom and asked.

“Nothing, uncle is old-fashioned, but not unaware of the alternative.” Adrian shrugged her shoulders and took off her jacket and threw it aside.

“Really?” Kate whispered faintly, but hidden something.

“But he wants me to marry you.” Adrian suddenly laughed and said, sitting next to her, holding her waist, putting her head on her shoulder and smelling the scent, "what do you want me to do? ”

“Do you think that's funny?” Kate looked at him and hummed, then turned to herself in the dressing mirror and sighed. “I thought about it when I was pregnant, but... I knew, I knew, you would never agree, I knew what you were like when you didn't even lie to me. ”

“Oh? What kind of person am I?” Adrian sighed softly in her ear.

Kitten's souffle half-body, some glared at him angrily, and looked at himself and Adrian in the dressing mirror for a moment, and his eyes became confused: “I don't know, or I can't describe it… probably that's why I easily fell into your carefully knitted trap. ”

“Remember what I said, Kate?” Adrian laughed, "You know, why do you have to deny it under other pretexts? ”

“… perhaps a little unhappy.” Kate mumbled.

“So, there's a party tomorrow on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, will you come with me?” Adrian suddenly said again.

“Party? What kind of party?” Kate also enjoys changing the subject.

“Anything else, upscale people get together, talk to each other about what's going on, communicate with each other, maybe seize some good opportunities.” Adrian lay face to face in bed and said depressingly, "God, I wish Crowe was here. ”

Adrian does not exclude this kind of party. In many cases, a lot of things are tentatively decided in this kind of place, and the connections also expand here. It's just that his business skills are not very good after all, and a little deeper into the topic might frighten him. It's usually the Claude interface that he adds from the side, but if Claude isn't there...

“So what do you think, Ed, about the impact of the Thai baht crisis.” The old man asked with a smile, he had a square face, half a hundred hair combed neatly, slightly blessed, but 5 '11 "tall again made him look healthy, smile very nice, with a pair of simple glasses, suit leather shoes, Sven, like a university professor.

“There is no doubt that the expansion of the Asian financial crisis is a positive thing," Adrian shrugged, "and the models for East and South-East Asian countries and Thailand are almost no different. ”

“You seem to have missed a country, Ed.” The old man warned.

“Yes, I know, but if international tourists go to mess with them, they may lose a small fortune. Adrian put it bluntly:" After all, that country is not like us, and they are very good at concentrating on big things, and international tourism is huge enough not to recognize the blow of a sovereign, undisturbed country. ”

“Admittedly, your words are very informative," the old man nodded with a smile after a moment of reflection, "you seem to know a lot about China, Ed. ”

“Some, not much, but among Americans, it's quite understandable.” Adrian smiled, "my Chinese is good too. ”

“Ha, that's good news. If you don't have your own company, maybe we can hire you as a consultant on China.” The old man laughed.

“Well, if one day I'm no longer chairman of AC Media and Goldman Sachs needs it, I'd be happy to help you, Mr. Warren.” Adrian owed slightly.

“You're really brilliant, Ed, and I hardly miss my eyes,” the old man continued laughing and patted him on the shoulder, "well, there's something else I don't want to talk to you about. ”

Adrian then made a handy gesture, watching each other walk into the crowd, and then made a long, thorough statement. If we keep talking about it, that order in the stomach is going to be emptied, which is why I've met this old man a few times before but rarely talked for long periods of time. It's not that he doesn't want it, Buffett does have a scholarly temperament, but it doesn't mean he's really a scholar, just like he's generous in charity, but the nature of a businessman doesn't change.
