King of Hollywood

Looking at the shallow kicked marks on the pants, Adrian shook his head at little Emma: "This is not something a lady should do, my dear."

"I don't care what a lady is," said little Emma, ​​still holding her chin high. "I'm very upset, Ed, very, very upset."

"You're dead, Ed." Little Emma poked her head out from behind without losing the opportunity, and said gloatingly with a grimace.

"Well, I apologize. It's my fault for not coming over the New Year, but this is the first time, so I can forgive you, right?" Adrian immediately lowered his posture.

"It's just like that?" Little Emma still looked resentful.

Adrian scratched his head: "Well, maybe you should give me a hint?"

"Hmph! What about New Year's greetings? What about New Year's gifts?" Little Emma asked angrily, "Even if you can't come to London, these two will never forget, right?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten," Adrian said hurriedly, "but I always greet you face to face, and give you gifts face to face. You can say that I didn't see you immediately after I arrived in London, but you can't say that I forgot Yes, it would make me sad."

Touching her chin, little Emma finally nodded: "Okay, you pass."

Speaking of hooking his fingers at him, Adrian smiled and sighed, then bent down, and little Emma immediately stood on tiptoe with her hands behind her back, and kissed him lightly on the face.

"Just let him go like this?" Little Emma who followed behind said a little disappointed.

"You have to remember, Ruth, when dealing with men, don't push them too hard. Leave some space and give them some leeway. They will obediently listen to your arrangements." Little Emma deliberately smug Said loudly, with a mischievous look on his face. It made Adrian want to cover his head and pretend not to know her very much.

"Hey, Emma, ​​who taught you this?" He looked at her with some annoyance, "You know. You haven't turned ten years old yet, these words are not what you should say."

"What's the matter, I'm not a child," Little Emma shook her fist, "I don't need anyone to teach me at all, as long as I listen to the chats of Mr. Columbus, Aunt Rowling, or Mr. Coltrane from time to time, I will understand." gone."

Every time she said a name, Adrian looked over. The onlookers who were laughing or surprised at the side hurriedly dispersed, pretending to be busy with their own affairs.

"Anyway, you can't say this kind of thing anymore, even if you know what it means now. It's only superficial, understand?" He pressed on her head.

"But Ed, I think Charlotte is right." Little Emma poked her head out and said something at this moment.

"Emma, ​​if you say this again, I'll put you on the plane and send you back to Los Angeles, and then tell your aunt on the phone what you said here." Adrian pointed at her with a warning finger point.

Little Emma's mouth dropped immediately, she snorted softly and turned her head away from Adrian. Fortunately, Columbus came over at this time and announced that the filming would continue to divert everyone's attention. After the filming was completed, little Emma became lively again. Children are like this, they can quickly forget their troubles. What's more, even though she was abandoned at birth, little Emma still received a lot of love from her aunt and Adrian, so she was naturally not as precocious as little Emma.

When chatting with the two Emmas again, the topic was basically on the filming of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". For the young actors who were completely changed in Adrian's eyes, he didn't know as well as They've been photographing little Emma together for so long. The Odosi brothers, who play the twins, like to make trouble. Eric, who plays Harry, is very shy. George, who plays Ron, is usually dull in front of the camera but is very clever. Little Emma said it all.

Of course, she didn't forget to talk about some of her behaviors that she couldn't help laughing. For example, before shooting a certain scene, she moved a certain prop without authorization, but it was destroyed and could not be restored, so she had to hide with her tongue out.

"I have to admit, it's a lot of fun to do a movie and play Hermione, which is... so cool, I never imagined that when Ed was reading Harry Potter and putting me to sleep. There will be such a day." After finishing today's work, Little Emma said with some emotion.

Adrian's response was to touch her head with a smile. Before he knew it, the little girl who couldn't sleep without him was already so old, and his daughter was almost five years old.

"Why can't I play an important role, such as... such as Ginny? Weasley or something, I was also born in 1991." Little Emma complained.

Since "Small Island Cry", she has played roles in several movies, but they are all inconspicuous supporting roles. The daughter in "Small Island Cry" is her role with the most roles, and she is currently the most acclaimed Role. As a result, little Emma's interest in acting greatly increased, and she often pretended to twist and turn in front of Julia or Adrian, and deliberately stuffed a small pillow under her clothes, then ran out terrified and shouted, "I pregnant".

Although Adrian often encouraged her, after "Small Island Cry", she basically didn't intervene in the roles she played, letting her exercise herself in those simple roles.

"Because you are not British, and Joe hopes that a young British girl will play this role." Adrian touched her head and smiled.

"This is discrimination, I want to protest." Little Emma also imitated Little Emma and waved her fist, but unfortunately she was immediately suppressed.

"Protesting is invalid, little guy." Adrian grabbed her into his arms and "ravaged" her.

If so, after yelling and slapstick, little Emma glared at Adrian angrily with her hands on her hips: "I want a role compensation, Ed."

"I fully support Ruth's reasonable request!" Little Emma booed from the side.

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

"Really?" Little Emma opened her eyes wide and looked at him with some doubts.

"Hey, do I have to lie to you?" Adrian pretended to be dissatisfied. Then he squeezed her face hard, causing another yell.

Promise is promise. But it is not so easy to put it into action, in memory. Although little Emma has a great reputation, there are basically no impressive works. This is not to say that her acting skills are bad, although little Emma's acting skills are not good, but they are not bad. The point is that she doesn't have the right role.

For those actors with excellent acting skills, all they need is opportunities, while for those actors with average acting skills, they need not only opportunities, but also roles that fit their own image. There are always very few talented top actors, and most of them are ordinary people who need to be tempered. Why can Adrian let so many women fall into his arms? In addition to the power you have. The answer given by the media is that he can always accurately discover the characteristics of each woman and arrange suitable movies.

Well, back to the topic, in short. Because of this problem, there is no memory for reference, and it takes a lot of time to find a suitable role for little Emma that can highlight her image. If she was younger, she could be the little girl in "Winter's Bone". It's a pity that the few girl characters he can remember at the first time are either younger or older.

Don't worry, Adrian has enough time to recall. Although little Emma likes to make trouble, she is not the kind of child who has no sense of propriety. This is just a small trouble, and the most troublesome big trouble is yet to come.

click. The door of the room was opened, and swished down. A small head flashed out of the opened gap and then flashed in. There was no movement for a while, and then flashed again.

"Stop playing, Emma." Adrian, who was leaning against the bed and typing on the keyboard with the bedside lamp, sighed, "At this time you should..."

At this point, there was no sound. Looking at little Emma who jumped in and closed the door and locked it, Adrian covered his forehead, showing helplessness and depressed eyes, because the little guy was wearing speckled pajamas and was holding a baby. Little Pillow, it was obvious what to do.

"Okay, get out of the way." The little guy went straight to the bed, put the pillow on it, and then climbed up, and at the same time waved to Adrian impatiently.

Adrian couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Emma, ​​I've told you several times, you can't do this now."

"Oh, come on, Ed, we just slept together." Little Emma reached for his quilt. "We slept together last year."

"That was before April, you were only 8 years old, that is already the limit." Adrian put down his laptop, pressed the quilt and said in a stern tone, "You will be ten years old soon, you are already a big girl!"

Emma tried several times but couldn't pull up the quilt, and immediately glared at Ed angrily: "Let go!"

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

"Let go!"

"I said, even if I think about it..."

"If you don't let go, I'm going to yell for help!"

Little Emma raised her calf and stepped on the head of the bed, crossed her arms and looked at Adrian aggressively, with a look of "be good to me, or I will be rude to you". Adrian was speechless for a long time. He knew very well that this precocious but mischievous guy always kept what he said, and today there are still many people living in his new home in London—since they are all bought in New York. Apart from apartments, London is of course indispensable.

But today is the first time to stay here, so I invited the "Harry Potter" crew over. The party ended late, and some people stayed. If little Emma really yelled, someone would inevitably rush in to check, even if she later said that she was joking, but with her attire, it would inevitably trigger a series of unpredictable reactions.

"I suddenly realized that it was a mistake to recommend you to play Hermione. Emma, ​​you should play the robber's daughter. You have perfectly interpreted it in this way." Adrian finally said.

Little Emma snorted with her nostrils up, retracted her foot on the head of the bed, pulled up the cup and lay down on her side with her back to Adrian, and reached out to turn off the bedside lamp on her side.

"Good night." She said so, and her little butt bumped against his leg at the same time.

Adrian rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly. Any woman would be difficult to deal with if she was unreasonable, let alone a little girl? Can't sleep well again tonight.

Fortunately, little Emma was considered considerate of him and did not pester him every day, which finally made Adrian heave a sigh of relief.

I stayed in London for five or six days. After asking the matter one by one, Adrian was ready to leave. But at this time, I received another bad news.

"You said that Disney issued an acquisition invitation to Universal Music at the same time as us?" Adrian asked with some surprise.

"You heard it right. It is indeed Disney," Claude's still relaxed voice came over the phone, "It is indeed Disney who issued an acquisition offer to Universal Music."

"It's really interesting, what does Disney want Universal Music to do?" Adrian was still puzzled. "Music production has never been their main goal. Even if they need to adjust the entire group now, it is impossible to start with music from the beginning, or are they just simply upset with us and want to embarrass us in this regard?"

"Okay, let me tell you another news, the abnormal stock price fluctuation of Universal Music. The blocking is likely to come from Time Warner." Crowder said again.

"Really? They really have time to do these things while they're still stuck in the IT bubble-affected M\u0026A case with America Online. Or maybe Warner and Disney have joined forces? It seems that Michael Eisner must be very happy Hate us." Adrian said with a joke. "What about Sony? I mean Sony Records?"

"There is no obvious sign at present, or the entire group has not been persuaded, but I believe they must be preparing something." Claude said, "So, you might as well try it out when you are in Japan."

"Let me test it? Are you kidding me? You are not afraid that I will reveal something instead." Adrian asked half-jokingly.

"Okay, that's it, I'm going to rest. The time zone is different, you have to be considerate. And it seems that News Corporation has made some moves recently." The voice of yawning and a woman talking faintly came from there.

"Wait, I haven't... this guy!" He put away the phone a little annoyed. After thinking carefully, he frowned slightly.

More than ten hours later, Adrian came to Tokyo for the second time after almost four years... Well, it should be the third time. The reason why he didn't go to London for the New Year was because he went to Tokyo after visiting his uncle in New York , because Yukie was invited to participate in the Red and White Song Festival held in Japan. Although she has spent four years in the United States, Yukie is still a Japanese with a green card. As the most popular and accomplished Japanese actor in the United States, even though she has never sung, she was invited to be the highest-level singer in Japan. It is also normal for the guest performers at the party.

Adrian originally wanted to accompany her, but because New Year has always been to visit the godfather or uncle, so he did not go to Japan until after the millennium. Even so, Yukie was still very happy and went on a trip to Hokkaido with him. Although Ayumi Hamasaki, who is currently in full swing in Japan, began to accompany him every step of the way when he arrived in Tokyo, the trip to Hokkaido is still just a matter of Adrian and Yukie.

"Ed is still biased." Ayumi Hamasaki was coquettish in front of Adrian, and then showed herself even more fieryly.

Although it's only been a few years, Adrian's status has been several steps higher than before. Four years ago, the media could only be regarded as a rookie in the media group. Four years later, it has surpassed Sony and stood in front of many people, let alone one of the shareholders of Ai Hui.

After more than a month, Adrian came to Japan for the third time, but the purpose was different from the last two times. The previous two times were vacations, but this time it was because of work-well, it can be regarded as A vacation, like in London, but after you've taken care of things.

The first thing to do is to ask about the production of the animated version of "The Matrix". The original "The Matrix" contains too many things in the trilogy, and it is not enough to explain the whole world and its causes and consequences clearly, so I specifically asked a Japanese animation studio. Several animations with different styles were made for supplementary explanation.

Although Adrian’s version has a novel as a base, the animations in my memory are very good, why not use them? Moreover, because there are two movies to be produced this year, although the investment is not very large, there is still the post-production of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy to be involved, and the remaining two "Matrix" movies may not be able to start, so It is necessary to use cartoons to whet the appetite of movie fans and relieve their cravings.

Of course, it is still done by the Japanese. Although the media has two top animation studios, they are all based on 3D, and 2D animation is the most powerful Japanese besides Disney. Disney is definitely unable to cooperate, and their current thoughts are not on animation at all, so it is naturally handed over to the Japanese. Besides, the animations in my memory were originally completed by Japanese animation studios.

The second thing is the filming of "The Grudge 2". Although "The Grudge" was released in North America at the beginning of last year, it finally broke the box office mark of 100 million yuan two months later, and the box office overseas also broke 100 million yuan. The global box office took away 250 million box office, of which Japan provided at least 50 million US dollars in the box office, but the sequel has never been put on the agenda.

It's very simple. One is to wait for "The Grudge" to fully ferment, and the other is that Adrian is still not very satisfied with the script. Although "The Grudge 2" in my memory is not as good as "The Grudge 1", it is still worth continuing to produce. Unfortunately, a completely American-style "The Grudge 3" completely ruined this brand, and now it is in his hands. It must be fully squeezed out of its value.

The current "The Grudge 2" script was negotiated by Japanese screenwriters and American screenwriters. Some of the main plots are roughly the same as the original version. The adoptive mother in the United States heard that her Japanese adopted daughter was imprisoned in a mental hospital in Japan, and begged to have a bad relationship with her sister. How good her biological daughter went to Japan to bring her back, and then triggered a series of horrible incidents. Of course, the director is still Takashi Shimizu. Although he was still a newcomer when he made "The Grudge 1", he has fully demonstrated his ability in the process, so there is no reason not to continue directing, isn't there?
