\u003c/br\u003e Chapter Thirty-one Close the mirror again

"You know, I had no professional training, and Ed was disappointed with the system, so I had to offer sexual services in exchange for their signature." (Baidu search m, Rainbow Literature Network) (duk an, )" In the big office, Irene? Brockovich said in a mournful and triumphant tone, "I have to blow the trumpet to more than six hundred people in such a short period of time. I am really exhausted."

She said and raised her eyebrows to her boss: "I'm really exhausted, can I sit down?"

"Of course, please." The old lawyer, who suppressed a smile, immediately made a gesture of invitation, and by the way, he pulled out a chair for her in a gentlemanly manner. The cooperating barrister and the female assistant who satirized Brockovich lost their voices, and the female assistant looked at her with trembling lips, but she couldn't get angry at all. Who let her get everyone's signature? and the power company's internal report on water pollution.

"D!" Adrian, who was in charge of the camera himself, raised his head and shouted loudly, then put down the camera in his hand and applauded with everyone.

The applause was especially warm, not only because of Julia's excellent performance, but also because after this shot, the filming of the film "Never Compromise" was completed. For the crew that worked hard for six weeks, it was no less than a once-in-a-lifetime liberation. It’s not that easy to work with director Miracle. This is the consensus of everyone. He originally thought that he had a few extra days off for everyone two weeks ago, and he changed his sex. Who knew that after the holiday, he started to squeeze again. It’s really miserable. .

Well, this is just a joke, at least the first four weeks are pretty good, no different from before, and the reason why the next two weeks will be more tense is because Adrian himself has just returned from London, and the jet lag has not yet completely reversed, So out of state. The second is because everyone in the crew, including the two leading actors, is not in the state because they have rested for four days.

The state is so amazing, maybe it was very good one day, but maybe not the next day, the whole crew can maintain a good state for four weeks is already very good. However, the plan is to finish the filming in six weeks, and most of the difficult and important shots have already been taken care of before, so there is no reason for it to become procrastinated now, so Adrian chose to increase the progress by squeezing. It's understandable, and I'm used to it anyway. It's a big deal to make jokes or sarcasm. Director Miracle has done a good job in this regard. As long as the work is done well, he has no problem with large-scale teasing.

"Where did you go just now?" After finishing, Julia sat next to Adrian and asked while drinking water.

"I went around the studio next door. You know, "Tomb Raider 2" is producing indoor scenes near here. I went to ask and the progress is normal, isn't it?" Adrian didn't hide anything. Of course, there are certain things For example, Rachel, who was sad, helpless and excited, tried her best not to groan too loudly under his shock in private.

This kind of Rachel is the Rachel he likes. She seems to be being violated, seems to be involuntary, but she is very catered to, as if only in this way can she be satisfied. Adrian happened to recall a certain movie before, and it must be very suitable for her to play the role. The role was tailor-made for her. Although it will be ranked behind "Tomb Raider 2" and that British film, it doesn't matter, as long as the filming starts next year.

I believe that with Rachel's character, she will definitely be very interested in this role that can be played in her true colors. Of course, she still has to act like she is insulted on the surface.

To mention a little bit, there is a big difference between the current "Tomb Raider 2" and the original version, that is, Evelyn and O'Connor have a daughter instead of a son. It doesn't matter, no matter the son or the daughter can promote the development of the plot, besides, the little girl recommended by Adrian is not much different from the little boy after packing up, especially when she has short hair, she is very suitable to be an archaeologist child.

This role is played by Julis who is still in charge of the screenwriting? Mann? Stewart's daughter Kristen? Stuart, that's right, that Christine? stewart. Julius and her husband John were among the relatively early group of people who joined the media. At that time, the media was only a film company in Bosworth. The talents of the two are also good, so they were appreciated by Adrian. Although Julis is still in charge of the screenwriting work, it is the script of four film companies including Universal, and John is a well-known TV drama producer. people.

Adrian didn't realize that there was a free gift at first, but he didn't pay much attention to it after he knew it. He had seen too many such things, so let it take its course, and he had a good relationship with Little Christine. But probably because Avril Lavigne lived in Julis' home when she came to Los Angeles, apart from wanting to be a screenwriter because of the influence of her mother, what little Christine wants to do most is to be a rock singer.

Her personality is more or less masculine. Although she is six years younger than Avril Lavigne, the two still hit it off. Many times, after Avril Lavigne wrote a simple new song, she would give it to her to sing, and she would be the general accompaniment. Taught her to play the guitar hand in hand, so little Christine would have the idea of ​​wanting to be a singer.

But this hope was quickly dashed. At the end of last year, she went to the record company for consultation through her mother's relationship, and a producer told her that her voice was very average. Although the other party didn't say it to death and asked her to try again in a few years, it was still a blow to little Christine.

Later, Adrian found out about this. Although out of bad taste, he really wanted Christine to develop into a singer, but considering that his involvement in music is far less than that in movies, he might be able to do so in a few years. It was hollowed out, so I gave up this plan. Then, he suggested little Christine to act in a movie, and specially asked Stephen? Sommers changed the little boy in "Tomb Raider 2" into a little girl-Sommers has no difference, it has no effect on the plot anyway-so there is the current situation. Interesting, isn't it? Even though only he knows how the world has changed, it still feels dark.

Well, let’s get back to this point. Even though Adrian didn’t say a single extra word, Julia still knew exactly what he did to him. How could she not know who was filming in the studio next door? She might not be able to name all of Adrian's women, or even how many women he had, but she still knew the one next door. But she didn't say much, just snorted softly, and Julia was used to it, how could she not get used to it after staying with Adrian for so many years and still hasn't left.

"By the way," she changed the subject, "I plan to hold an equestrian party at the horse farm the day after tomorrow, will you come?"

"The day after tomorrow?" Adrian thought for a while, "Sorry, honey, I have something to do that day, so I probably won't be able to come."

"Can't come, or don't want to come." Julia asked with some dissatisfaction, but followed her with a sigh: "You are always like this, you always let others accept your invitations, but rarely accept others' invitations. "

"But I do have something, my dear, you know, I never lie about it." Adrian said seriously.

This is true, even if he is dating another woman, he will not say it explicitly but will give hints, so if there is something to say, then there is really something to do. Of course, what Julia said is also true. For these party invitations, the number of times he agrees to women is always far less than the number of times women agree to him. This detail may seem insignificant, but it is actually very important. dominance? right here!

Come to think of it, if every woman wanted him to come over, it would be an exhausting situation. Of course, how to control the dominance by yourself, let them revolve around you, and at the same time coax the women well, so that they don't get too much dissatisfaction, that is at the personal level.

It was obviously impossible to say these words, so he quickly changed the subject: "How about this, my new yacht will be officially available on Tuesday next week, how about we go out to sea together?"

"New yacht?" Julia's attention was indeed attracted, she raised her eyebrows as if thinking of something, and showed her signature charming smile: "Could it be another antique yacht?"

"Well...of course not." Although he turned the topic to this, Adrian touched his nose in embarrassment.

After owning the largest private jet at the time, he planned to update his yacht and customize a yacht with a unique style-of course, the small yacht that went to sea with Blanchett was still retained.

After thinking twice, he slapped his head and ordered a sailboat from K Company, a five-masted clipper-style sailboat. Invented by the United States, the clipper sailboat was the fastest ship on the sea for a long time. It was still active at sea even in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when steam engines were used on a large scale, especially the five-masted scissors. Once Zhang Fan is opened, the momentum of riding the wind and waves is second to none. That too fast speed has also created many accidents. The most typical example is what happened to the famous Prussian Clipper when it crossed the English Channel in November 1910. A British steamship underestimated the accident. Its speed violated the rules and the two ships collided.

However, with the development of technology, the clipper sailboat was finally phased out after the First World War. Although it had set many new records, it was still no match for the steamship. It was either scrapped or destroyed in an accident, and the rest were refitted. It has become an exhibition ship, a training ship, or a fishing boat, etc. However, some of them have been converted into yachts. It is only natural for Adrian to customize one. It is suitable to use this to show his personal style. He has always had a bad taste. Before that, he even thought about buying a yacht. A decommissioned Iowa battleship was converted into a yacht.

But he doesn’t know much about this, and for the opinion of the shipyard, for example, the flying shear boat is no longer suitable for yachts, and the latest flying frying boat yacht was more than ten years ago, or there is no need to manufacture it. The five-mast type, and the mast is just for decoration, it doesn't need to be used... etc. Ignore it at all, order and emphasize that it must be manufactured according to his requirements, and then throw it aside. The shipyard was very helpless. They were also used to the rich man's various weird hobbies, so they did as he asked, and then... there was no more.

The five-masted clipper yacht produced is indeed magnificent. Although it is only 5,000 tons, the five tall masts alone are already very imposing. Everyone raves about this. However, although there are many advantages, there are more disadvantages, not to mention that it can only sail in the offshore - because of its size, it will fluctuate greatly when encountering strong winds and waves. It’s not good. The clipper sailboat is famous for its speed, so it must sacrifice a certain amount of stability. Although this ship was specially corrected during its manufacture, its own defects are not so easy to make up for.

In addition, the mast looks very imposing, and the sails must be very cool to use, but where can I find a professional and skilled sailor? The deck is wide enough. If a group of people dress up very retro and walk on it, it will be a good sight, but the interior is a bit small. If there is a party, the number of people that can be accommodated will not exceed one person, and there is no way to park a helicopter on the ship.

So after the initial freshness passed, as more and more shortcomings were exposed, Adrian became more and more depressed. After thinking twice, he finally donated the yacht to the alumni of the primary and secondary schools he attended. Yes—although the maintenance cost will be very low when docked on the shore, but it is not affordable by one school—so that the two schools can let students go up for physical observation when organizing extracurricular activities.

Although he ordered a new yacht immediately afterwards, and Adrian did his homework carefully this time, the new yacht is even more luxurious, with a tonnage of nearly 10,000, equipped with various top-notch equipment, and has the best defense functions. The swimming pool, There are cinemas, massage rooms, helipads, jet skis, and small sightseeing yachts, and the styles of various suites are also different. It may not be as good as the Eclipse, which exploded in Russia a few years later, but it can also rank among the top three luxury yachts in the world. ranks.

However, Claude still teased him about the clipper ship for a long time, and his woman and some friends who knew the ins and outs also teased him about it, so it was quite normal for Julia to smile like that.

"You'll know when the time comes, this is the maiden voyage, Julie." Adrian said.

"A world for two?" Julia held her chin, her eyes narrowed, with an indescribable temptation.

"Of course." Adrian smiled slightly. Although he was not interested in comparing with the Russian rich man—although it would be a few years before Abramovich ordered this yacht or cruise ship—but some ideas can still be used Useful, such as the ceiling that can be opened automatically, falling asleep under the stars is also very romantic, isn't it?

Let's not mention this, although "Never Compromise" is officially closed, but Adrian does not intend to fulfill his promise to little Emma. It's not that he wants to break his promise, of course, but there are other things to deal with, such as how many movies are going to be released-Kate's "Spy Belle" or Russell? Crowe's Gladiator.

The promotion of the former is already in place, and the previous "28 Days" has a good box office reputation as expected. If this movie can still achieve similar results to the original version, Kate will definitely be able to reach another level. Although it doesn't matter if this movie failed, there are still many roles suitable for her in the future, but this kind of movie with relatively large changes, Adrian always hopes to succeed.

Kate is obviously not suitable for the image of that kind of silly big sister. As a special agent, she can't be too natural-unless it is a spoof movie. So in order to make this character fit the image of Kate, the screenwriters spent some brains, and finally set it as an informal female agent. For example, the furnishings in the house have been done well in her opinion, and on the surface It's not bad, but as soon as you pick it up, you can see that the mess is actually covered up.

Of course, if the setting is appropriate, it depends on the director's grasp and the performance of the actors themselves. Adrian, who has watched the sample film, thinks that Kate's performance is not bad. The comedy effect of the story is not much different from the original version, but the problem is that he It doesn't matter what you say, it depends on the audience's reaction, so it is necessary to attend the premiere to cheer for Kate.

Needless to say, "Gladiator", Ridley? Where is Scott's ability, Russell? Crowe is also at the top of his game after a few years of polishing. What's interesting is that Russell now has a regular girlfriend who is a fashion designer. She's pretty, and the two of them are quite affectionate. Some reporters put him on the label of "good man". He is still with his wife in Australia. Dear Hugh? Compared with Jackman, thinking about his scandals in his previous life, there is nothing more impermanent than this.

In addition, you have to go to the set of some movies. "Tomb Raider 2" has already been there, and "Little Miss Sunshine" can be ignored if you go often. "Human Bone Puzzle" and "Drug Network" must be Go, and Denzel? Washington to talk about the "Training Day" script, or maybe with Steven? Soderbergh chatted about "Ocean's Eleven" and drew another cake for Zeta Jones by the way.

"That's right, singing and dancing, it's best to perform all the singing and dancing by yourself." Adrian said with a smile.

"Are you going to make a musical?" Zeta Jones asked hesitantly.

"It's time for a revival of musicals," Adrian didn't deny. "Even if it's only a short revival, at least we can announce to people that this type of film hasn't disappeared yet, so the chances are relatively high."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zeta Jones meaningfully, and a complex expression flashed across her beautiful face, but soon she showed her iconic charming smile: "I think so."

Adrian knew what she was hesitating about. An old man was pursuing her. It is said that the guy told his friends after watching "The Mask of Zorro" that even if he couldn't marry this woman as his wife, he would get her into bed. However, the other party has never had a chance. It was only at the end of last year that he successfully struck up a conversation with Zeta Jones, and then asked her out every three days, even though she kept refusing.

Adrian knows all these things, but he has remained silent. If Zeta Jones really wants to leave, he will not keep him, but if the method used is wrong, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

But now it seems that she has made a decision. It is not in vain to use Penelope to scare the chickens and monkeys, so she can also give that guy a warning.
