King of Hollywood

Chapter 304: Diva and Juliet

"Ah!" The sharp screams kept echoing in the room. Monica was lying on the chair with sweat profusely, her beautiful facial features twisted together due to the pain. (Genius only needs 3 seconds to remember)

"Press hard, Ms. Monica, push hard, you've done a good job, I can already see the baby's head." The midwife doctor kept saying, her tone was very gentle, her encouragement was obvious, and she was very experienced.

"Have you heard, Monica, you can already see the child's head, work harder!" Adrian said encouragingly while holding her hand.

"It hurts...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Monica screamed and grabbed his hand tighter and tighter.

"Patience for a while, and it will be healed soon." Although Adrian continued to comfort him, he withdrew his hand little by little.

"Just... stay with me for a while... Ed... please..." Monica, who noticed it, showed a pleading look.

"Sorry, baby, Sophie is also giving birth there, and she needs me too," Adrian said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, I'm nearby and I'll be right back."

Oh, hell, why did such a thing happen! What a joke! Adrian, who hurried from one delivery room to another, complained in his heart. Let’s not talk about double-shots, there are many precedents for this kind of thing, but there is always a speed of fetal development, right? Then why are Monica and Sophie's due dates almost at the same time? Well, the same time period is the same time period, but why did the two react together and then sent to the waiting room together? Well, let’s put them in together, but why the time to break the amniotic fluid doesn’t exceed ten seconds? !

So Monica and Sophie were basically pushed into the delivery room at the same time, and Adrian had to work hard on both sides. This is so depressing. Although coincidences often happen, this is too coincidental.

"Hi, honey, I'm here, don't worry, I'm right by your side." After entering the delivery room, he immediately came to Sophie's side and grabbed his hand.

"I'm in so much pain..." Sophie cried. Like Monica, she was sweating profusely. The pain of childbirth seemed to be unbearable for her.

Of course, it just looked like that. In fact, Sophie continued to exert strength under the encouragement of the midwife doctor. It must be said that women are indeed more able to endure pain than men. You must know that the pain of childbirth is the highest in the pain level. Although there was still a caesarean section, the idea was thrown away after only two turns in Adrian's head. It was a trivial matter to leave a scar on the lower abdomen, but it was a major matter to affect the child's development.

Children have been born in this way for thousands of years. This is already a set of inevitable procedures. Just like running a computer, the results will naturally be obtained after the program is completed. The ending is the same, but who knows if there are hidden flaws that have not been discovered.

The chances are very small, but Adrian doesn't want to experiment with his own child. Besides, Monica and Sophie are not particularly old now, so he has been persuading them to give birth naturally. Of course, they have been given detailed and best regular checkups. Even if they are not in Los Angeles, they will ask the nanny on the phone to urge them to correct their posture to prevent the occurrence of abnormal fetal positions, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Take a deep breath, Sophie, take a deep breath, you'll be fine soon." Adrian kept comforting him. He had the experience of accompanying Kate in childbirth, and even though he ran back and forth several times, he still didn't panic or get impatient.

Finally, the doctor squatting below cried out happily: "Okay, come out!"

Then, there was a loud cry, full of energy, and should be very healthy. The nurse next to him immediately came over to take the newborn baby from the doctor, took it aside and cleaned it, and took a look at it from a distance. It was the same as when Lily was born, wrinkled and ugly, but it took a few hours at most. It will be very cute and beautiful.

"Congratulations, Mr. Adrian, it's a girl." The relaxed doctor said while tidying up.

"My child... Where's the child? Where's my child?" Sophie, panting and regaining her senses, called out at this moment. (win q coins,)

"Calm down, Sophie, the baby is with the nurse, she is... a very cute girl." Adrian coaxed, Sophie turned her head, and showed a tired smile after seeing the baby being cleaned by the nurse, But then turned around again immediately, and Adrian had already retreated to the door.

"Sorry, Sophie, Monica is not finished yet, I have to go...to see her." Adrian laughed, then pretended not to see her resentful expression, turned and slipped out.

Although the two delivery rooms were not far apart, he was still one step too late, and before he stepped into the door, the sound of crying had already come out. Damn, this is miserable. Adrian sighed in his heart, but he didn't stop for a moment.

"Congratulations, Mr. Adrian, it's a girl." The doctor who stood up holding the child said with a smile.

Another girl? ! Adrian's eyelids twitched involuntarily, including Lily, this was his third daughter. But the daughter is also good, after all, the son kisses the mother and the daughter kisses the father.

"What a cute little guy." Looking at the little one in the doctor's arms, Adrian said in admiration, although the wrinkles on her face were like a little old man, which had nothing to do with cuteness at all.

"Ed..." Monica's weak voice sounded at this moment, and Adrian hurried to her side: "I'm here, honey, it's okay, it's okay, the little guy came out smoothly, and It's healthy and it's over."

Monica didn't speak, but just looked at him with an aggrieved expression, like a child, where there is no such mature and charming style. Adrian smiled, and reached out to comfort her in his arms. With the smooth delivery of both sides, Monica and Sophie returned to the double ward together again, and Adrian finally didn't have to run back and forth between the two sides.

However, there were two women talking and laughing before giving birth, but they both kept silent, and they separated soon after their eyes met occasionally. Although it was due to the exhaustion of giving birth before, the current atmosphere is a little strange point. Adrian had to force himself to make jokes between the two women and find ways to adjust their relationship.

Fortunately, after all, Monica and Sophie have lived together for so long, and threesomes with Adrian are also common. When he was away because he was going to shoot a movie in New Zealand, the two of them also supported each other, so they quickly It recovered.

After resting like this for a long time, Adrian helped them to the special nursery room, and began to pay attention to his children through the glass. After careful cleaning by the nurses, even though the little ones are still wrinkled, they are much more beautiful than when they were just born. They lay there quietly with their eyes closed, occasionally moving a few times, and they can hardly be seen Silhouettes of Sophie and Monica.

"They're so cute." Sophie murmured, looking at the children inside.

"Yes, they are our children." Monica also nodded, and her eyes also fell on the children.

Adrian in the middle coughed dryly at this moment: "So, have you thought about the name of the child?"

"Have you figured it out?" The two women looked at him together, with disbelief written all over their faces. He basically spent more than half a year in New Zealand, so the matter of naming was just a rough idea. Haven't had time to discuss yet.

"Of course," Adrian nodded, "Monica's daughter is called Diva, and Sophie's daughter is called Juliet."

After he finished speaking, he raised his chin and looked at them with a smile on his face, expecting their approval, but what he got was a complaint.

"Deva? What the hell is that name? Don't you have a better one?"

"Although Juliet is a French name, don't you think it's too common?"

How could this be? Adrian suddenly showed a surprised expression, but Monica and Sophie didn't care at all.

"I think Evila or Veronica are good."

"I think Zoe's French taste is a bit stronger."

That's weird, why don't they like it? Adrian was puzzled, knowing that Kate quickly accepted Lily's name. Although he was a little confused, he didn't intend to compromise. As for the possible objections and protests of Monica and Sophie, it didn't matter, it was easy to settle, so the newborn babies still used these two names.

In the next few days, Adrian will be around the two mothers and two babies. Even if he wants to go back to Los Angeles to deal with affairs, he will return to Orange County before night falls. And he showed the image of a dutiful father very well. Whenever the little ones cry in the middle of the night without caring about other people's feelings, he will always rush over there as soon as possible, and bring the babysitter to hug the little one sleepily. to mother.

"Actually, you can leave it to the nanny." When Adrian yawned repeatedly during the day, Monica once said with some distress.

"It's okay, I have experience." Adrian didn't care, "And you have to get along with the children a lot, so they will remember me, don't they?"

But he is also very strict with Monica and Sophie, such as stipulating that certain things cannot be done within a week, and certain things cannot be done within two weeks, no matter how much they protest, he cannot change his mind.

"This is for your own good. Think about it, the two little guys are so big and so big... Well, so big... In short, they have grown in your body for ten months, relying on you to provide nutrients to grow, and they are separated It will definitely hurt you later, so proper recuperation is a must." That's what Adrian said.

As the old saying goes, it is confinement. Of course, it doesn’t take that long. In ancient times, Chinese people would let pregnant women stay in the house for at least a month. There are many reasons such as sanitary conditions. Now it is natural. no need. But this does not mean that pregnant women who have just given birth can eat, drink and even go swimming without any scruples.

Just like what he said to them, giving birth to a child is a very energy-consuming thing no matter what, just like bleeding requires blood transfusion and rest, and the essence must be replenished if it is lost. It seems that eating, drinking, or swimming is fine, but God knows if hidden diseases will occur in a few years? Although confinement is an antique, it can be regarded as the experience accumulated by the ancients.

Because he served Kate, Adrian has a considerable understanding of this, so he naturally knows how to better persuade Monica and Sophie. They were indeed not convinced, but it was more because of the short time. If they really lived like this for a month, they would definitely find a way to kill this guy who "tortured" them. Besides, he will soon leave, after leaving...

Adrian has nothing to do about it. After all, the filming in New Zealand will continue, so he can only supervise them as much as possible while he is still at home. The only thing that made him feel at ease was that there were almost no media reports about it, and the cover-up was done very well. At the beginning of the delivery, he signed a contract with the nurse. If he kept silent within ten years, he would get a lot of money. , otherwise it is sky-high compensation.

Queenstown is still the same, without him as the host, the progress of the shooting is quite slow, even if some shots are delegated to Jackson.

"Sorry, Ed, I couldn't do what you did even though I tried my best." Jackson said very apologetically.

Although Adrian has made many films with different styles, it does not mean that he has no style. In fact, the way of jumping the camera is his greatest style. No one can learn it, even the top in the world. director. Jackson, of course, is even worse. He would only cause a lot of waste to shoot in this way, and he would be very slow to shoot in his own way.

"It doesn't matter, you have tried your best, Peter, leave it to me, although a lot of time was wasted last month because of too many things, the rest will definitely be completed in this month." Adrian declared confidently.

Of course, basically everyone scoffed at his words. Wouldn't Director Miracle still be Director Miracle in Los Angeles? Has he persisted for a week from the beginning of last month to now? However, some facts are always unexpected. For the next two weeks, Adrian stayed in Queenstown and nearby locations, surprising everyone.

Then, there is no more, will a miracle director who does not return to Los Angeles still be a miracle director?

In fact, Adrian didn't want to do this either, but there were always things to deal with, and he wasn't exactly a hands-off shopkeeper.

"I'm glad you can support me, Ed." After the meeting, Claude said.

"Which time did I not support you?" Adrian shrugged.

"Once in July of 1994, and once in March of 1995..." Claude immediately counted with his fingers.

"Hey, even if I object, it's in private." Adrian interrupted quickly.

"That's objection too." Claude spread his hands, then laughed out loud in Adrian's white eyes.

"What do you think, Charlie?" Adrian asked casually when he returned to his office and met Charlize who had sorted out the minutes of the meeting.

""M" has great potential, but it still needs time to develop." Charlize gave her own answer after thinking about it.

"Oh? Can I listen to your careful analysis?" Adrian couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The most important thing to come back this time is to preside over the acquisition of the British magazine "m" by the group. Of course, it is more of a formality to show that I know and support it. The media has always been lacking in print media. Although it has acquired several newspapers and magazines, it is still not as good as those groups that are strong in traditional media, so it cooperates closely with Hearst and Newhouse.

But this does not mean that they will let it go, it is just that the traditional media has been carved up, and it is not easy to find an entry point. Then Claude discovered the magazine "m", although it was only published in the UK in 1995, It was only released in the United States last year, and its positioning is very good. It is suitable for men to take home and read it in front of their girlfriends or wives. But when preparing to start, the board of directors disagreed, so Adrian had to express his opinion.

Adrian naturally supported it. Apart from Claude’s proposal, he has always supported it. In my memory, the sales of this magazine will be very good in the future. It seems to be published in dozens of countries, and the sexy girl p100 of the year is also very famous. . It’s just that you know it, but you don’t know how it developed. At present, the sales volume of this magazine is very average, so when Charlize said this, he wanted to listen to it.

"Internet," Charlize's answer is very simple, "Although there are many problems with this magazine, such as insufficient features or poor scale, the most important thing is publicity. Under the current situation, magazines of the same type There are many, so the competition is very fierce, and if we can’t win by surprise, we will slowly disappear. We may have competitors in other areas, but no one can match it in online promotion. News websites already exist, and magazine websites are not too far away, and I When collecting their information, I found that they also have this idea, which is a good opportunity, pioneers can always seize opportunities for development, and we are the pioneers in this regard.”

Papa papa, Adrian's applause rang out, with a look of approval. What Charlize said made him understand easily. That's right, isn't their biggest advantage in the Internet? After the turn of the millennium, online magazines abound. They can buy a few magazines, and then build a website as a pioneer, which will naturally drive the sales of powerful magazines.

"Excellent, Charlie." Adrian hugged her, holding her face and said in admiration, "You can always surprise me."

Although Charlize put on a look of "so what" and "don't flatter me", her gray-green eyes always revealed an indescribable tenderness that she wanted to hide. The relationship between the two after that day It is getting denser, and there is an indescribable but understandable thing flowing between them.

"If it's okay, I'll go out." Charlize said after looking at each other for a long time.

"Okay." Adrian lowered his head and touched her lips lightly, but stopped her when she walked to the door: "Wait, Charlie."

He squeezed his chin and gave a smirk—not at Charlize, of course.

"I suddenly thought of a good idea. About the magazine, I need you to write it down," Adrian said with the corner of his mouth upturned. "Our group will contact other game companies to host a world e-sports competition, referred to as g!"
