King of Hollywood

Chapter 9: Competition?

Looking at the shallow stamp kicked out of her pants, Adrian shook her head at little Emma: "That's not what a lady should do, honey. ”

“I don't give a shit about ladies," Little Emma still lifts her chin high, "I'm upset, Ed, very, very upset.” [Search latest updates all over]

“You're dead, Ed.” Little Emma didn't miss her chance to stick her head out of the back, dressed as a ghost and said with the flavour of happiness.

“Well, I apologize, it's my fault that the New Year didn't come, but this is the first time, forgivable, right?". Adrian lowered his posture immediately.

“Just like that?” Emma Jr. still looks like a wretch.

Adrian grabbed his head and said, "Well, maybe you should give me a hint? ”

“Hmm! What about New Year's greetings? What about New Year's gifts?” Little Emma asked, “If you can't come to London, you'll never forget these two, will you? ”

“Of course not,” Adrian said busily, "but I repeat all face-to-face greetings, and the gift is also given to you face-to-face. You can say that I didn't see you first when I got to London, but I can't say that I forgot, which will break my heart. ”

After touching her chin, Emma finally nodded her head: "Okay, you're through. ”

As he hooked his finger, Adrian sighed with a smile, then bowed down, and little Emma lifted her hands behind her back and kissed him gently in the face.

“Just let him go?” There was some disappointment with Emma, the little one behind her.

“Remember, Ruth, don't push men too tight when dealing with them. Allow some space to rotate appropriately. They'll listen to you.” Little Emma deliberately said out loud, looking like a prank. Make Adrian very eager to cover her head and pretend she doesn't know her.

“Hey, Emma, who taught you this?” He looked at her a little angry, "you know. You're not even ten years old, and that's not what you're supposed to say. ”

“What's the matter, I'm not a little kid,” Little Emma shook her fist, "and there's no need to be taught, as long as you listen to Mr. Columbus, Aunt Lorraine, or Mr. Courtlani from time to time. ”

Every time she says a name, Adrian sees it. People who were around or laughing or surprised at each other quickly spread out and pretended to be busy with their own business.

“Anyway, you can't say that anymore, even if you know what it means now. It's just superficial to know, you know?". He pressed it on her head.

“But Ed, I think Charlotte's right.” Little Emma came back to her head and said something.

“Emma, if you say that again, I'll put you on a plane back to Los Angeles and tell your aunt on the phone what you said here.” Adrian raised his finger to warn her a little bit.

Little Emma's mouth dropped immediately, and when she whispered, she ignored Adrian. Fortunately, Columbus came to announce that continued shooting distracted everyone. After this shoot, little Emma gets lively again. That's what kids do, they forget their troubles very quickly. Besides, even though she was abandoned at birth, little Emma was loved by her aunt and Adrian, and naturally did not ripen as early as little Emma.

When I talked to two more Emmas, it was basically all about Harry Potter and the Magic Stone, and he didn't know as much about the little actors who were completely blood-changing in Adrian's eyes as they had been filming with Emma for so long. The O'Dorsey brothers, who played the twins, loved to make a mess, and Eric, who played Harry, was shy, and George, who played Ron, was usually smart when Mune got to the camera, and Emma Jr., speaking like a couple of Jens.

Of course, she has not forgotten to say that she can't help herself. For example, before shooting a lens, she automatically took some kind of prop. As a result, she damaged it and couldn't recover. She had to throw up her tongue and hide.

“I have to admit, making a movie is an interesting thing, and being Hermione is such a cool feeling that when Ed read Harry Potter to put me to bed, I never thought I'd have another day.” After today's work, Emma Jr. said with some emotion.

Adrian responded by smiling and touching her head. Unconsciously, the little one who couldn't sleep without him was already this big, and her daughter was almost five years old.

“Why can't I play an important role, like Ginny? Weasley or something, I was also born in '91.” Little Emma complained.

Starting with "Island Spirit", she has played in several films, but they are all not eye-catching characters. The daughter in "Island Spirit" is her most played character and is currently her most acclaimed character. Little Emma was so interested in the show that she often twisted herself in front of Julia or Adrian, deliberately stuffed her little pillow under her clothes and ran out shouting, "I'm pregnant."

Adrian, while often encouraging her, has hardly interfered with her role since The Island Spirit, allowing her to exercise herself in those simple roles.

'Cause you're not British, and Joe wants a little English girl to play the part. ”Adrian touched her head and laughed.

“It's discrimination, I want to protest.” Little Emma also learned little Emma to wave her fist, unfortunately she was immediately repressed.

“The protest is invalid, little man.” Adrian “ravaged” her into his arms.

Forgive me, but after all the shouting, little Emma's hands were forked and she was staring at Adrian: "I want a part to make it up to, Ed. ”

“I fully support Ruth's reasonable request!” Emma Jr. stood beside her.

“Okay, okay, I'll think about it.” Adrian had to say that.

“Really?” Little Emma opened her eyes and looked at him with some confusion.

“Hey, do I have to lie to you?”. Adrian was dissatisfied. Then he squeezed it in her face, and he started yelling at her again.

Promise. Promise. But it's not that easy to pay for it, I remember. Little Emma, though famous, is largely unimpressive. That's not to say that she's a terrible actor, and even though little Emma's acting isn't good, it's not going anywhere. The point is she doesn't have the right role.

For actors with great acting skills, all they need is opportunity, and for actors with ordinary acting skills, they need not only opportunities, but also roles that match their image. There are always very few talented top performers, most of them ordinary people who need to be honed. Why can Adrian let so many women throw their arms around her? In addition to the power it possesses. The answer given by the media was that he was always able to accurately discover the characteristics of every woman and arrange appropriate films.

Okay, back to the subject, anyway. Because of this problem, it takes a lot of time to find the right character for little Emma to highlight her image without any memory. If she was younger, she could be the little girl in Winter Bones, but unfortunately a few of the girls he could remember the first time were either younger or older.

Not in a hurry, Adrian had enough time to remember that little Emma, though she liked to make a mess, was not the kind of kid who didn't have the measure. It's just a little trouble, and the biggest headache is still in the back.

Click. The door to the room was opened, slammed down. A small head flashed out of the open gap and flashed in, half-quiet and flashed down again.

“Stop playing, Emma.” Adrian, who leaned against the bed and tapped the keyboard with the headlights, sighed, "At this time you should...”

Speaking of which, there was no sound, watching the little Emma jumping in and closing the door and unlocking it, Adrian covered her forehead, revealing a helpless and depressing look, because the little guy was wearing a spotted pajama and hugging a little pillow, and what was to be done was obvious.

“Okay, get out of the way.” The little guy came straight to the bed, put the pillow up and climbed up, waving at Adrian with impatience.

Adrian couldn't help but turn a white eye: “Emma, I've told you a few times, you can't do this now. ”

“Oh, come on, Ed, just sleep together.” Little Emma reached out and grabbed his quilt, "we slept together last year. ”

“That was before April, when you were only eight years old, and that was the limit.” Adrian put the laptop down, pressed the quilt and said in a harsh tone, "You're almost ten years old, you're already a big girl! ”

Emma tried a few times not to pull up the quilt and suddenly stared angrily at Ed: "Let go! ”

“Don't even think about it, now go back...”

“Let go! ”

“I said, I want to...”

“If you don't let go, I'm gonna scream for help! ”

Emma lifted her calf and stepped on the bed. She held her arm and looked at Adrian in a fierce mood. She looked like, "Be good or you won't be welcome." Adrian couldn't say a word, and he knew very well that this premature, naughty, troublemaker had always done it, and that there were still a lot of people living in his new home in London today - and since he had bought apartments in New York, London, of course, couldn't help it.

But today was my first stay, so I invited the Harry Potter crew. The party ended late, and some stayed behind. If little Emma did scream, someone had to rush in to check it out, even if she later said she was joking, but with her outfit, she had to trigger a series of unexpected repercussions.

“I suddenly realized that it was a mistake to recommend you as Hermione, Emma, that you should be the daughter of a bandit, and that you now interpret it perfectly.” Adrian concludes.

Little Emma's nostrils hummed toward the sky, retrieving her foot from the bed, pulling up a cup and lying on her side against Adrian, reaching out and turning off the headlights on her side.

“Good night.” She said so, smashing her little ass in his leg at the same time.

Adrian shook her head helplessly, and any woman would be hard to deal with without reason, let alone a little girl? I can't sleep well again tonight.

Luckily, little Emma was considerate of him. Adrian was finally relieved that he didn't get tangled up every day.

Five or six days in London. Once asked, Adrian was ready to leave. But then again, I got some bad news.

“You said Disney was offering a takeover offer to Universal Music at the same time as us?” Adrian asked unexpectedly.

“You heard me right. It was Disney,” Claude still sounds relaxed over the phone, "and it was Disney who made a takeover offer to global music. ”

“Interesting. What does Disney want with global music?” Adrian is still confused. “Music production has never been their main goal, and even if they needed to adjust the whole group now, it would not be possible to start with music, or would they just be upset with us and want to make this difficult for us? ”

“Well, here's another message for you, the global music side is unusually fluctuating stock prices. Perhaps the obstruction came from Times Warner.” Claude added.

“Really? They're really leisurely, stuck in IT bubble-affected mergers and acquisitions online in the United States, and they have time to do that. Or is Warner united with Disney? Looks like Michael? Eisner must hate us.” Adrian smiled and said. “Where's Sonny? I mean, Sony Records? ”

“There are no obvious signs at the moment, or the group as a whole has not yet been told, but I am sure they are preparing something.” That's what Claude said, "so you might want to check it out while you're in Japan. ”

“Let me try? You're kidding, and you're not afraid of me leaking anything.” Adrian asked back half a joke.

“Well, that's it, I'm going to rest. Different time zones, you have to understand. And lately, news groups seem to be doing something about it.” There was a hidden voice of arrogance and women talking.

“Wait, I haven't... this guy!” He's a little pissed off to put the phone away. I thought about it and slightly raised my eyebrows.

More than a dozen hours later, Adrian came to Tokyo for the second time after almost four years… Well, it should be the third time, the reason he didn't go to London was because he visited his uncle in New York and then went to Tokyo, because Ji-hye was invited to attend a red and white concert hosted by the Japanese NHK. Despite spending four years in the United States, Yukie is still Japanese with a green card, and as the most popular Japanese actor with the highest achievement in the United States, even if he has not sung much, it is normal to be invited to perform at the highest standard singing party in Japan.

Adrian wanted to accompany her, but she didn't go to Japan until after the millennium because she never visited her godfather or uncle in the New Year. Rao, Yukie was still very happy, and he traveled all the way to Hokkaido. Despite the fact that Hamasaki Boo, currently in Japan like Jomtien, began to walk with him when he arrived in Tokyo, the Hokkaido tour was still only a matter for Adrian and Yukie.

“Ed is still eccentric.” Hamasaki Boo was delicate in front of Adrian, and then showed himself even hotter.

Although only for a few short years, Adrian's status has been several steps higher than before. Four years ago, AC Media could only count as a rookie in the media group, and four years later, it is now more than one of the shareholders of Sony standing in front of many people, let alone Ai Hui.

More than a month later, Adrian came to Japan for the third time, but for a different purpose than the last two, two vacations, and this time because of the work thing —— well, it was a vacation, just like in London, but that had to be done.

The first thing is to ask about the production of the animated version of Hacker Empire. Because the original version of Hacker Empire contains too many things to explain the whole world and the previous causes and consequences, we deliberately asked the Japanese animation studio to produce several different styles of animations to supplement the explanation.

Adrian's edition is based on novels, but the animations in my memory are excellent. Why not use them? Moreover, because there are two films to be made this year, even though the investment is not very great, but there are later productions of the "King of the Rings" trilogy to ask, the remaining two songs of "Hacker Empire" are not expected to start, so it is necessary to hang the appetite of fans with animations and relieve their desires.

Of course, it's still done by the Japanese, and AC Media has two top animation studios, but they're all based on 3D, and 2D animations are the strongest in Japan except Disney. Disney must not be able to cooperate, and their current mind is not on the animation at all, so naturally the Japanese are responsible, and the animation in memory was originally done by the Japanese Animation Studio.

The second thing is the start of "Curse 2". Although the "Curse" was released in North America at the beginning of last year and eventually broke the billion-dollar box office gate two months later, the overseas box office also broke the billion-dollar mark, eventually scraping the 250 million box office worldwide, of which Japan provided a minimum of about $50 million, the sequel has not been scheduled.

Simply, the first is to wait for the full fermentation of The Curse, and the second is that Adrian is not always happy with the script. Remembered "Curse 2" is not as good as "Curse 1", but it is also totally worth continuing to make. Unfortunately, a completely American style "Curse 3" completely destroyed this sign, and now it is in his hands, it must be fully pressed to its value.

The current screenplay of "Curse 2" was negotiated by the Japanese writer together with the American writer. Some of the main lines were roughly the same as the original. In the United States, the adoptive mother heard that the Japanese adopted daughter had been confined to a psychiatric hospital in Japan, begging her own daughter, who was not very close to her sister, to go to Japan to bring her back, and then triggered a series of horrific events. Of course, the director is still Chong Shimizu. Although he was a newcomer in the production of "Curse 1", he has already demonstrated his abilities in the process, and there is no reason not to continue to direct, is there not?
