King of Hollywood

Chapter 115

Finally... Hmm, wait?!

As the sun was about to set, people were already at sea in Trafalgar Square, and countless fans of books and journalists were eagerly awaiting under the huge poster of Harry Potter and the Magic Stone. Although their different aims did not prevent them from casting their fierce eyes on every guest who appeared on the red carpet, they had to admit that the Harry Potter collection of children's literature had tremendous influence - well, from the fourth part onwards, with Cedric's death, the entire collection was completely overshadowed with a dark tone of adulthood, but at least the first two parts did.

“Mr. Adrian, can you elaborate on how you and JK Lorraine met? ”

“Mr. Adrian, what are your plans for the future of this collection? ”

“Mr. Adrian, Kate? Is Miss Beckinsale likely to excel in the Harry Potter series? ”

These British journalists are much bolder than their American counterparts. After all, the UK is one of the cornerstones of the news group. Adrian has a great reputation in Britain with several British classical style films, and AC Media has extended its reach, and Claude is considering acquiring FHM, but the base camp is always in Los Angeles, so it's no better than the news group, and these guys can change Phare's questioning about Adrian and Kate and their relationship with Lily.

But boldness was also limited, otherwise the MTV executives were the best they could have done, and although the ensuing 9/11 diluted the public's focus on the matter, it was quite resounding in the circle. No matter how much press groups compete with AC Media, they won't offend Adrian for several journalists or editors.

So Adrian took it easy on the past, and thanks to Lorraine's announcement that she was secretly married, he could shift the subject to her without worrying about entertainment journalists making up stories between him and her. There have been such seedlings before, and after Lorraine became famous, things about Adrian's funding for her naturally couldn't be hidden, but at that time Lorraine was still just a soft single mother, so the journalists didn't really play in some ways, but now she's getting more and more temperamental, unfortunately soon she had an official boyfriend, and now she's even more married.

The husband, naturally the dentist mentioned, held a very low-profile wedding ceremony at his home in early December, attended only by immediate family members and not even by Adrian. Of course, after that, Lorraine called him personally to apologize. After all, Adrian was a world-renowned figure, and if he accidentally brought a journalist here, his previous secret preparations would have been abandoned.

Just on the red carpet today, the first thing Lorraine saw him still was an apology.

“No, Joe, I understand you very well.” Adrian is huge and, as it says above, this is not his property, so there are inevitable leaks at times, which is one of the reasons why he arrived in London and simply took a full afternoon off on the plane.

The funniest part of the premiere was Emma, who was new to the event. Don't look so lively and naughty, but nervous when walking on the red carpet. Despite her long plain skirt, her hair was neat and very cute, not only tight, but also a little stiff with a smile, even as Harry Eric? Reese and George playing Ron? Sanders came to relax.

“Well, gentlemen, why don't you invite our little actors in? You didn't interview them at last year's press conference.” Adrian immediately walked over to lift the siege and took three children to the theatre.

After last year's nautical selection, a small cast was decided, and the theatre team held a press conference at which Emma was quite calm and answered questions less frequently and concisely, but with absolutely no such rigid performance today.

“I'm just a little nervous, a little nervous.” After entering the front hall of the theater and relieving my breath, the little guy explained a bit of frustration. “Last year's press conference came with a lot of people, but not so many now...”

She looked up at Adrian with some anxiety and shame: "It's nothing, right? Everyone… for the first time… ”

“Of course not, honey, don't worry about it," Adrian grinned and touched her head, "you'll just get better and better, believe me. ”

How could he not know that Emma didn't give a shit about other people's perceptions? She just wanted to know if her poor performance would affect the way he looked in his heart.

With the exception of the three little stars and the original author, Lorraine, all the old actors are here, adding a lot of color to the premiere, and they're basically the highest level in the British film community, except Richard? Harris. The old actor, who played Dumbledore, was unable to make it because of some minor physical problems and could not sleep in his room at the Javert Hotel, which worried Adrian a little, and an inadvertent possibility that he would not be able to play the whole series “again”.

But that was the next thing, and now there's no more to worry about, so Adrian's attention goes to the director.

“I'm exhausted, Ed.” Chris? That's what Columbus said.

“Yes, I know, Chris, you did a great job, you did a great job.” Adrian laughed and hugged him.

By December, Columbus had finally finished filming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as he had ordered, and although much time was needed later, he had accomplished what Adrian wanted.

“Rest a few days, the second part can slow down, and we're already looking for your successor," Adrian continued, "Anyway, I'm glad you were able to direct the first two films of the series, Chris, which is bound to leave a lot of money in the Harry Potter collection. ”

“Thanks, Ed.” Columbus got so happy when he praised him, "I couldn't help but want to know how the audience would react. ”

Speaking of this, he immediately glanced at each director, talking about his work, especially when he felt good, and friends around him said it was good, he wanted to show off immediately when the work had not been officially released. Believe this is the time to persuade one or two words, then promise to shoot slowly - Eric and George are starting to change their voice anyway, and the third one will be on by the end of next year - and maybe Columbus will say yes.

Adrian did not, however, and Columbus' style for all ages was indeed the most suitable for the first two, since the third Harry Potter series began to be gradually coated with adult grey and dark colors, and it was imperative to change directors.

Although the premiere ceremony was so lively, the film itself had nothing to say, as I said earlier, the first two children's literary colors of the Harry Potter series were so great that the film just had to bring them to their fullest potential, and Columbus happened to be an expert in that area. So even if the plot is compressed because of the movie, many details are either ignored or cancelled, but the childish protagonists, the magic school, and the everywhere warm tone make the movie very appealing, accompanied by Williams' beautifully crafted accompaniment, which makes people feel like they're in it.

Speaking of music, there's something interesting about it. Adrian loved Harry Potter movie music in his past life, which is the Hydervey Theme Variation, and it fits perfectly with the theme of the novel, so how could he let that melody disappear? So, through his relationship with Spielberg, John? Williams invited me to play Harry Potter and the Magic Stone.

After all, however, Adrian still has his own film to make, and he can't keep an eye on the late production of Harry Potter and the Magic Stone, so it wasn't until he finished that he realized that the song Williams did was not the Hedwig Theme Variation he wanted. Even though the song was equally beautiful, it was a little worse than the one I remember, and so many years of copying got him out of the "preconceived" scenario, and he said it was definitely a little worse.

Adrian has a little bit of a problem with this. If it doesn't feel right, let Williams overthrow it, don't think about the movie slot, and don't think about Williams' own mood, can doing it again guarantee that it's what he wants? But it's impossible for him to write, even though he has a reputation in the record industry, but he hasn't arrived where he can write freely, and Williams asks him how he did it, if he can do it, why invite him to do the music, what do you say?

And finally, thinking about it, Adrian simply borrowed a melody somewhat similar to the Hedwig Theme Variation, humming it here in front of Williams, and suddenly stopped, thinking for a few minutes why not, and then hummed the whole song again. Who knew Williams, after hearing it, stayed for a few minutes and suddenly screamed and frightened Adrian.

“Exactly! That's what I want!” The old man was very disoriented at the time, quickly finding out that the paper was humming the melody Adrian had previously hummed while writing and drawing on the paper, making the faces of the people beside him look alike.

But nevertheless, the Hedwig Theme Variation ended up as a compliment to Harry Potter and the Magic Stone, which is quite a compliment.

The movie plot doesn't describe specifically, because Harry, whose parents died and lived in his uncle's house, suffered a lot of abuse? Potter found out he was a wizard the day he was 11, and killed a great demon's savior 10 years ago, then rode a steam bike to school at the Scottish Highlands School of Magic, made two good friends, and thwarted that big demon's plot. Though a lot of changes have been made, with Lorraine on the sidelines, the theme is very clear.

And then the next day, all the major British media praised the film almost overwhelmingly, from directors to actors to original authors, all British, and of course they had to praise their own people. As for the movie content, it's a fairy tale movie, and it's also a fairy tale movie of the fantasy type, so long as the basic logic is in harmony, the plot is relaxed enough.

Although the show time in the United States is a little late, and there are a few movie reviews that don't feel very good about the movie, most praise it. Relatively speaking, the French seemed a little homesick. Although it would take until next year for "Harry Potter and the Magic Stone" to be shown in France, a number of journalists and film critics attended the premiere in London. So, it was just a fairy tale fantasy movie, and they pulled out Wenhuo like Stuart, Balzac, Hugo, Fuloubai, etc., and said, "You can see it with a glance, it's funny."

But anyway, at least commercially successful, in the UK, Harry Potter and the Magic Stone's first three days of the week box office exceeds £20 million! You know, a lot of good movies go live and go down in the UK, but there are just so many box offices, like Adrian's virgin, Two Big Smoke Guns, and you can see how popular this series is.

Of course, the box office on this side of the UK is also small, important still in North America, with 100 million harvested in three days! This is the second movie in its first week! Even if it's not as good as Spider-Man's 110 million, even if it's just a few hundred thousand more than that line, it's a hundred million. Countless movie companies are eye-catching. The first movie in the first week was under the AC Media flag. The second movie in the first week was under the AC Media flag. That's too...

Naturally, the three little stars became red stars, and everything about them was posted quickly on the Harry Potter series, and almost 99% of fans accepted the specific images of Harry, Ron, and Hermione for the first time.

“Oh, I can't believe it's just a movie, it actually resonates so loudly, the neighbor's kid now sees me calling me Hermione, as if the name Emma never existed.” The little girl complained so much about Adrian on the phone, "and now I have to go with the crew for publicity, which I'm starting to regret. ”

“Really regret it?” Adrian didn't persuade either, just smiled and replied.

Quiet down there, a moment later the little dull voice came along: "Don't think you'll get away with this, Ed! I'll show you next time! ”

After another threatening hum, Adrian still sees her lying in her bedroom at home in London, waving her fists with her phone, despite the distance of thousands of miles.

“Don't wait too long, I'll be back in Los Angeles soon, and you can come to my house for Christmas. Your aunt will agree, and Lily misses you.” Adrian smiled and hung up despite the little girl's loud protest.

Then, he reached out and rubbed his head and grew out of breath, and the little girl had become harder and harder to fool. After the premiere ceremony, under Emma's soft grip, Adrian had to live in her house, you know that the little girl against him has always failed to achieve her purpose. Don't look at it as just a soft grip. If he refuses, then it must be coercive.

Adrian had a headache every time he thought about what happened at the manor study that day, but after so long he never found the opportunity and the right reason and little girl to say it. But it was even more inappropriate to leave her alone. Emago didn't make it that night of the premiere ceremony. After the chat and the game, he said he wanted to sleep with him. Adrian, of course, took her back to the bedroom without any courtesy, and he still remembered the way the little girl sat on the bed with her legs and exhaled.

Fortunately, she was going to follow the crew immediately, and Adrian went to her estate on the pretext that she was still in London, otherwise she didn't know what she was going to do, knowing that she was now famous.

Shaking his head and putting these aside for the time being, he didn't have much to do in London, apart from attending the premiere ceremony, where he went to see how things were going, so Adrian got up and went upstairs to the room. At this moment, the four stewardesses on his private plane are following the loud music in the ballroom, and all he has to do is relax.

Although it is winter and the lake cannot swim, other facilities of the estate are available, such as tennis or horseback riding in the woods. And doing something that you love to do is also the focus, and in this case, with Adrian showing great strength, a few words of care and a few words, many people are not difficult at all.

Only Pak Yaka had some resistance, but Adrian and Ali were wrapped around a chair to rest while playing tennis, Adrian and Eliza's passion in the bush while riding horses, and Grey drilled under the table for “milk” at dinner, and her few clings were thrown aside.

As a reward, when Adrian pulls the four women together into the bedroom, lets them climb side by side and skip their asses, one by one, puts her in first place.

This flavor is incredibly refreshing, especially the next day when you wake up with your arms and thighs staggered, and they are asleep in the bedroom. The feeling of pride is refreshing, and the bed is a place where men like to look for accomplishments.

For the first time, however, Adrian was tired, even though he had accomplished his first magnificent work, and although he was strong and strong and well maintained - don't look at him playing too much, he had never had too much to cook, and his dietary habits were quite good, and these were the best options given after various expert discussions - but not the super - < > - male protagonists he had seen in his previous life.

I wish I had picked a few hundred. When this thought came out of his head, Adrian laughed and shook his head without any reason.

Two more days later, he went back to Los Angeles, but the four stewardesses were always a little soft, and the brows were more stylish. As for the reason, the two drivers can totally guess, so they never hit on their ideas.
