King of Hollywood

Chapter 180 is mine. Nobody's gonna take it.

“I bet after two or three films at most, she'll definitely quit the crew, and I know Emma, she's not a woman who's willing to give in. Trelawney has many plays in the novel, but not many in the movie. After all, a movie can last up to three hours and the camera must be focused on more important characters, secondary characters like Trelawney, who will inevitably be sacrificed in later production unless the key plays are involved.” Adrian laughed in a crowd.

On his left is Alan Snape in the Harry Potter collection? Rickman, on the right is Maggie? Smith, there are more adult actors, but what you're facing is playing Emma Trelawney in Harry Potter and Azkaban's Prisoners? Thompson.

It seemed a little rude to say in front of herself that she would inevitably leave the crew in the future, but in fact, the other person didn't mean anything by being angry and always listened with laughter.

“Then why did you invite me to this role?” Thompson with the cup asked.

'Cause you promised. ”Adrian shrugged his shoulders and suddenly laughed.

“But to be honest, Emma, I knew I should have invited you to the role of Harry's mother. It wasn't much, but it was all important.” He said again.

“It's a good thing Geraldine's not here, or she'll die of sadness.” Rickman immediately inserted a sentence next to it, and everyone laughed again.

“Don't worry, Ed, for your sake, if I'm really gonna roll it out. I'll definitely be the first to let you know and then take another one.” Thompson said.

“Then you don't have to quit, Emma.” Smith plugged it in again, "and now we're shooting the third one, and based on what Joe revealed, the whole series is going to write seven copies, so when you cover up the three copies, the series is basically at the end, and according to Joe's usual pen, Trelawney probably won't have a lot of plays in the future. So it doesn't matter if you leave or stay. ”

A laugh erupted around the area, making the atmosphere in the room even more lively. Of course, it's louder, but it's next door, and there's the little actors at the party, and they have their conversations and their games. But at the same time, there is no shortage of connections. Adults often pass by, and children often come, for example, when the twins wanted to come and steal wine and drink.

This is common in parties and in the crew. Emma Jr. has also hosted at home and it's fun to melt down after everyone gets used to it. And it's not just the crew, it's irrelevant people, as long as they're friends, like Adrian. Well, this example is inaccurate. After all, Adrian was the one who built the whole series, but with Hugh? Laurie's description is appropriate.

“I didn't intend to, but Rachel dragged me here, so I had to say yes, but I didn't know until after. She was actually going to use me as a labor force, and these arrangements at the party couldn't be done by just a few of them.” When it came to her niece, Laurie said with such a stare.

“Don't make yourself so innocent, uncle. Didn't you hear Aunt Emma and the miracle director were all there before you promised to come?” Rachel next to him immediately grabbed White Road. Then I laughed alongside a bunch of little guys like Emma, and it turns out it was close to Mozie Black, with Emma taking the lead, and a bunch of little guys - especially girls - seemed even more unscrupulous.

Laurie raised her hand and looked like she had a headache for her niece. Adrian couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to her life: “Never mind, Hugh, the little ones are always naughty. ”

And then he took this opportunity to ask, “In other words, I have a question for you, Hugh, if that's appropriate. ”

“Go ahead.” Laurie made a gesture.

“With this role, the TV character, he is a doctor, a great general practitioner, many difficult complications are hard to beat him, but he crippled a leg, always avoided meeting his patients, liked to ridicule his colleagues, friends and even patients, called his interns ducks, and enjoyed not teaching each other academically… but he still had a good friend, and a female friend who maintained an obscure relationship but was often in contact with water. From your point of view, what character this character should be.” Adrian asked with a smile.

Laurie blinked, seemingly realizing something. Instead of answering first, he silenced for a long time before opening a somewhat uncertain statement: “First, he was a little isolated and good, then he was a little narcissistic, believing that the limping leg had a bad turn back. He doesn't believe in people, he only believes in himself, but he doesn't mind people reminding him when he's in trouble, simply because it's cold and hot, otherwise he won't have a good friend. ”

Speaking of which, Laurie suddenly laughed: "And if the character is important, the producer doesn't design it too weird, always considering the audience's appetite. ”

When Adrian settled in, he clapped his hands and asked: "So, Hugh, would you like to play this part? ”

“Wow, this is a challenge.” Though this is expected, Hugh? Laurie couldn't help but take a deep breath, which was an invitation from the miracle director.

“But I believe this is a piece of cake for you, and when I leave the idea of this drama to the writers to perfect, I wonder who would be the right protagonist for this strange character, and I didn't expect to meet him here, and I have to say, I'm lucky.” Adrian gave him his hand without a trace.

Honestly, did you first hear Hugh? When Laurie was named, Adrian didn't react at all, not only because of the pronunciation, but because Hugh was totally unconnected with Dr. House. In that very popular medical television show in my memory, Haus was a bearded middle-aged monster with no trim, and Hugh was courteous in front of him, carrying a full English paradigm from inside to outside.

Luckily, though, he has a Rachel? Harwood's niece, so when Rachel talks about her uncle over and over again? Laurie, after introducing him to Adrian, Adrian finally remembered, and this conversation came to pass. It just so happens that abc doesn't have much of a medical drama right now, and it's very appropriate to make "Dr. House". As for Fox, don't worry, there are still a lot of good medical dramas, and Adrian wouldn't mind compensating them if they were willing to cooperate. The program Warner advocated is still very good. Isn't it?

“Wow, uncle, are you going to America now?” With her chin next to her, Rachel heard everything screaming with her eyes open.

“Now you can be proud, Rachel, the famous miracle director personally invited your uncle to a TV show.” Little Emma made a ghost face at her friend.

“Hey, guys, not so fast, now I'm just getting to know the script and auditioning. But even if Ed insisted, I wouldn't take over the role.” Laurie went on to say that although it was quite likely that this would be settled, after all the big boss spoke, the gesture had to be put out.

Adrian nodded darkly, adding another fondness for him. Fate is so funny. It was just a small suggestion. Let Rachel? Harwood got Ginny in the role. Because of previous life's experience, Adrian suggested the crew when the corners were chosen. Not all roles must be limited to the age of the characters in the novel, for example Ginny's candidate can also be selected among children born in '90.

So, with a redhead and a round face, you look pretty cute, Rachel? That's when Harwood entered the director, Chris? In Columbus' eyes, in appearance. She is very similar to the Weasley family, which has a tradition of red hair. Although Rachel wanted to compete for Hermione, she loved the Harry Potter series of novels, and the crew lobbied, so the family finally agreed to let go.

Without this insertion, Rachel would have stepped into the British entertainment world, but it's hard to tell how big it is. So, in a way, being Ginny is good for her. Not only that, but she and little Emma became good friends, and things were a mess.

“The unknown is indeed fascinating, especially the less extensive unknown.” On the way back, Adrian couldn't help but sigh at the street view outside the car window.

“What are you talking about?” Ask Emma, who pillows her head on his thigh.

“I'm talking about why you have to lie in the car.” Adrian lowered his head and asked helplessly.

“Hey, don't I have the right to lie on your leg now? That's not gonna happen again. I can't even ride with you.” Little Emma screamed disgruntled immediately.

Adrian would love to answer yes, but it's been stolen, so to avoid getting involved in more topics, shut up. He asked why she was lying in the car, not why she was pillowing on his thighs - well, it did mean a little bit back, but just to remind, but she was biased...

And even then, little Emma didn't plan on letting him go and continuing to complain, “You should thank me, Ed, if I hadn't dragged you to the party today, how could you possibly meet Mr. Laurie? ”

“Okay, well, thank you, Emma, very much.” Adrian leaned over her forehead and kissed her.

It worked, Emma beamed, then she giggled, her head twisted a few times on his thigh, then she looked up, until she came home.

“Well, I won't stay with you. I have other things to do in London.” After sending little Emma back to her place and saying hello to the Rodrins, Adrian said to her.

“That's it.” Little Emma doesn't seem very happy with her mouth.

“Don't forget, I'll be here next month for your birthday.” Adrian scratched her little nose, "I barely missed your birthday, did I? ”

When I heard that, Emma little frowned and laughed, but I still didn't forget to say two words: “You were absent twice, I remember very clearly! ”

She raised her fingers and drew them in front of Adrian with a serious expression and a smile in her eyes.

“Yes, I know, but there was something wrong with those two times, and I didn't forget to call you, did I?” Adrian bent over in front of her.

“All right, all right, that's it.” Little Emma looked around and kissed him in the face while his family didn't notice.

Smiled a little. Adrian glanced at her with a “I knew it” look, touched her head again, and then said goodbye to the Rodrins. Little Emma dropped him off at the door and watched the car leave in front of the window before saying hello to his foster mother and returning to her bedroom.

Emma turned around and looked at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. Then another moment later, she jumped up and twiced in front of the dressing mirror. Then his hands crouched out.

“One year at most. Be patient!” She looked at herself in the mirror and said, “It's mine, no one can take it! ”

Adrian came to London to do something other than accompany little Emma, and after months of gathering information and discussing it with Claude and others, he had already made his decision.

“All right, just don't have your own training base. And the stadium is a little smaller.” Adrian said so to the old man around him as he watched the players in blue in the team compartment finish warming up and prepare to start the game in the shocking cheers of the fans.

“It's not small enough to hold 40,000 people.” The old man next to him picked out the snow-white eyebrows, "and the land here is golden, and it's not that easy to expand. ”

As for the lack of training grounds. He just ignored the past. Adrian laughed and turned to the box, which was equipped with a TV and could watch the ball without having to stand in front of the window, but it could not be for watching the ball.

“Overall. Chelsea's pretty good, with the potential to dig, so, give me a price, Mr. Bates.” He went straight into the chair and said so.

Adrian finally chose Chelsea, and Claude woke him up with a phrase: "Are you investing personally? Or a group investment? ”

Obviously. It's personal behavior, so naturally it's in his opinion, and Adrian, who cares about the power given and recovered, naturally prefers a blank piece of Chelsea. Again, he could be an irrelevant president and delegate all the power to the head coach, letting him go to the scenery to receive cheers, but did he give the head coach the power or did he have it before he came? It's a very important distinction.

Adrian doesn't want to deal with Ferguson and Manchester United fanatics, so Chelsea is better off, and it's a London team.

Of course, several conversations with Claude were also an incentive for him to make a decision, and the fluctuation was due in large part to the fact that Manchester United undoubtedly helped ESPN to advance to Europe, so Claude asked him, "Can we turn Chelsea into a top-notch team after we sell it?" Looking back on the last few impressions of Chelsea, there was no complicated strategy to unexpectedly dig up the Magic Bird and invest in buying players.

So the answer came, in Claude's words, which is exactly how ESPN went to Europe, grew up with the team, gradually built up its reputation and brand, and complemented each other, which is a good way of promoting itself.

After the decision, Adrian arranged contacts with Chelsea, the current chairman, Kenneth? Bates' reputation was not very good, his famous mouth was unstoppable, and he had an affair with Chelsea fans just last year because he compared the Chelsea Independent Fans Association to a parasite defendant in court.

Such a president was not difficult to deal with, and Adrian's relationship in the UK was quite significant, so now there is a scene.

“Why would Mr. Corwell want to acquire an English super team?” Bates did not answer directly, "after all, English and American football… are two completely different sports. ”

He was careful not to express too much emotion beyond words, almost all of Europe knew that America was a football desert, and Uncle Sam preferred “barbaric”, "beauty-free” football. But Bates' face is a media tycoon, such a big man is not something he can offend, even if he is a little embarrassed in his heart, but he definitely won't show up at all.

“Each sport has its own charm.” Adrian smiled with a good temper, "I have a lot of friends in the UK and often watch English football with them. The atmosphere is no less intense than any sport, so every World Cup is a big event. ”

Of course, it's actually because the British Super Club is probably the only European team that's easy to get, and neither Spain nor Italy can sell the team to outsiders.

After a few more chats, Bates finally talked about the subject: “I know Chelsea is in a lot of trouble right now, but it's still a long-established team with its own honors, and it's got a lot of fans who love it —— I'm not talking about the parasites, I'm really a fan of it. So even if I were to sell it, I'd have to find a better owner. ”

Adrian Security smiled without an interface and Bates remained calm: "So even if a lot of people wanted to buy it, such as a Russian millionaire came into contact with me, he had the highest bid, but...”

“How much did he get out?” Adrian suddenly interrupted his speech without courtesy.

Bates frowned slightly, but gave the answer: "110 million. ”

He doesn't dare or misrepresent this number. It's not the Russians who sit in front of him. Adrian has his own connections and channels. If he dares to play tricks...

“I'll give you 220 million.” Adrian said carelessly.

Even if Bates was calm, his throat couldn't help but shrug clearly, and even a rude reminder after swallowing his saliva: “I'm talking about the pound, Mr. Corwell. ”

“It is of course a pound sterling, not a Bahraini dinar, not a Cypriot pound.” Adrian smiled again and looked at him with a high eye.

With all that said, Bates wanted to pay the price, and Adrian gave him twice the price, and drove him to his death. That number has far exceeded Bates' psychological expectations, he dares not and cannot raise the price again, and £220 million demonstrates Adrian's determination not to sell? That would totally offend him.
