King of Hollywood

Chapter 268: The Fall Season Is Coming

Little Emma's little devil has always been a headache. Up to now, Adrian still hasn't revealed the slightest word to Kate, only hoping that Ivanka can open the gap first. Lily didn't want to accept Megan, who was almost ten years older than her. Don't look at her taking the initiative to greet Megan, but she never used the name "auntie" from the beginning to the end. You must know that she is the mother of other sisters. Everyone has used this title, including Jessica. But it happened to be Megan here, the first time we met, after saying hello, I asked directly, can I call your name.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the unborn child in Megan's womb and the natural intimacy, but she is already like this, let alone Lily... little Emma who has always been regarded as an older sister.

Probably because she was born in such a family, Lily was really precocious in some aspects. Before that, she had discussed with her father how the child was born, and accused her father of being playful.

"I know that when a man and a woman do something together, the baby will be born from the mother's womb. These school courses have it. But it's weird. The course says it's supposed to be two people in love. What should be done after getting married, but father and mother are not married, and they are not married to other aunts, why is that?" Lily asked at the time.

"Hmm..." Faced with this question, Adrian had a headache for a while, not because he didn't want to explain, but because he explained it to the little guy now. Can she fully understand it? But if you use this as an excuse to shirk. Lily would definitely not accept it, she never took this kind of thing, she always put on an attitude of "as long as you tell me, I will understand".

The fact is just as he expected, when he said "You are still young, many things are not easy to explain clearly", the little guy snorted.

"I'm not a kid, I'm Super Lily!" The little guy said proudly, and then he looked suspicious: "Is there something shameful about Dad that dare not tell me? I often listen to Mom and Sarah Auntie La and Auntie Charlie say Dad is very possessive."

Hear the last sentence. Adrian felt like rolling his eyes. He really didn't know what they usually said to Lily. Well, it's impossible to let her guess by herself, otherwise, how could Adrian maintain the image of a hero in her heart? Although he probably didn't get along with this word in Lily's mind.

"Let's put it this way, dear, there is a delicious apple, and everyone wants to eat it, so we share it together. Although there is no explicit agreement, there is a tacit understanding. At this time, if someone suddenly wants to take the apple for himself Yes, if you don't share it with others, what kind of strong reaction will it cause from others?" Adrian thought for a while, and finally gave such an answer. It can be regarded as barely dismissing the little guy.

Of course, he did not expect that this sentence would become one of the materials used by his daughter to tease him a few years later.

"Not only arrogant, but also narcissistic. He actually compared himself to the apple of Eden. Everyone is trying their best to snatch it. This is our father." Lily, who has grown into a beautiful big girl, said at a family gathering Said so to his sisters. God knows, Adrian was just giving an example, and using apples as a metaphor-can't use bananas-has nothing to do with the Garden of Eden.

Therefore, educating children is always a troublesome thing. At first, Adrian thought that Lily would like to be a director or a photographer in the future. She always took apart and reinstalled the DV, although most of them couldn't be put back. Later, I thought she would become an actress, because she always felt that it would be a good experience if she played the mother's daughter in "Underworld". But now, he thought she wanted to be a designer, because Lily earned a lot of pocket money by helping her mother design some accessories and small places for everyone. The variability of children is evident.

But Adrian always enjoys doing it, just like he will personally change each child's diaper, put him to sleep, wipe his butt and so on. It is rare that he has so much energy and patience. But Adrian likes to do it, and in a sense, they... are also his works, very beautiful works.

Therefore, even though Megan complained that Adrian had lied to herself and did not explain that there were so many women, nor did she explain that there were so many children, she would not be out of his grasp. After all, Adrian started early, seized the weakness to unify her feelings and interests, and now she has further shown her demeanor as a father, what else can Megan do?

In fact, she is just a bit of prenatal depression, which is not difficult to deal with. Adrian has experienced 7 women's pregnancies, from Kate always whimsical about this and that, to Blanchett's sudden boredom and Unhappy, and then Jessica worries about whether the child will be okay all day long, what kind of situation he has never seen before, this is the time when he can express himself best, Adrian is very good at solving women's insecurities.

So the biggest problem now is little Emma's matter. Adrian also rejected her request to come to the United States for vacation this year. It's rare that the little devil knew his plight and didn't stick to it. It's just that this matter must be resolved. . Therefore, after thinking about it, Adrian decided to put it at the end of September. If Ivanka's disclosure is well grasped, and a certain movie is released at that time to call little Emma over, maybe it can be done in one go.

Although the end of September is not counted as the summer vacation, it is not yet the off-season, so some promising movies that are not competitive compared with commercial blockbusters are usually released at this time. With movies being made in Hollywood all the time, it's no surprise that even Sophie is filming her new film.

After successfully ascending to the top, Sophie was not in a hurry to take on new films, but turned to directing. Although "Sleepless in Supermarket" was definitely nominated for an Oscar due to Adrian's factors, Sophie's own ability also played a part in it. It played a big role, and she did grow in this area, so she started to become more and more interested. That being the case, Adrian, who originally wanted her to develop as a director, arranged a script for her. Support her making her first feature-length film.

"This story consists of five short stories in total. The theme can be interpreted from two aspects, either the suspenseful and thrilling route, or the fatalistic pathos." Adrian explained to Sophie.

This script is called "Dead Girl". Simply put, a young girl dies, and then this leads to the stories of several other women. The monotonous woman who found the body hit the headlines, looking for her sister who was lost more than ten years ago, hoping to identify the body, the wife discovered that her husband had an unusual relationship with the dead girl, and the mother began to search for her daughter who ran away from home. and the cause of the death of the young girl, etc.

The clues are not complicated. As long as the rhythm can be mastered, the two routes mentioned above will make this story an excellent movie, plus it is a female drama, which is very suitable for a newcomer like Sophie who has just taken charge of the director. She finally chose the route of fatalism and tragedy, which Adrian expected, although he hoped that she would try the route of suspense and thriller, but it requires more control over the director, and the producer cannot have a comprehensive and clear vision. consider. It's easy to screw up a movie, so forget it.

Besides, it’s not bad to follow the path of fatalism and tragedy, but it’s too literary and artistic, and the box office may not be very good, but as long as the cost is kept as low as possible and maintained. The two leading actors Scarlett and Cayden have more roles. The remuneration is basically negligible, and Sophie herself plays a role in it.

Needless to say, Caden, she plays the younger sister who is looking for her sister or her dead body. It is not difficult for her to control this role. After Adrian made it clear, Kayden still worked hard. Although it was just a vase in "The Day After Tomorrow", it was also considered a beautiful vase. If it wasn't for being too beautiful in "Supermarket Sleepless", the acting skills should have been more affirmed. It is precisely because of this that Sophie was the first to consider her during the preparations. Adrian wondered whether to match Kayden as Sophie's queen actor?

Scarlett was recommended by Adrian. After the release of "Love in New Jersey" at the beginning of the year, her position in independent films has become more and more stable, and it is appropriate to star in such a small-budget film. Of course, there are also commercial films, but they are all medium-investment types. This is Adrian's plan for Scarlett from the perspective of long-term development, and Scarlett also approves of his plan.

This time she plays the dead young girl who ran away from home because she was sexually abused by her stepfather as a child. As a result, she became a prostitute and became addicted to drugs, and had a daughter. This is not an easy task for her. After all, she has never experienced these things. At most, she has smoked marijuana, and she smoked with Adrian. If you want to perform convincingly, you need a lot of Preparation.

"Don't worry, Scarlett, believe in yourself, you can do anything, if you can play this kind of role well with your own ability, then many roles will not be difficult for you in the future." Adrian said to her.

This is true, even if Scarlett has done a lot of preparation work, it is already very good to be 70% convincing, and lack of experience is the biggest problem. If she can do it 100%, I am afraid that only a few people can match her acting skills, but it is a pity that there is no last sentence.

"If you want, we can try it in private, so that you can have a more intuitive experience." His tail was immediately exposed.

"You just like to seize this kind of opportunity." After being coaxed into doing a lap dance for him, Scarlett, who still had the green paper in her stockings and panties, said half angrily.

Then, Sophie herself played a role in it. Originally, what she wanted was the role of the mother of the dead girl, but Adrian persuaded her to change it because this role had too many roles. Doesn't it mean that he thinks her acting skills are not good? Even if Sophie's best actress is the result of public relations, if her acting skills are not recognized at all, she will definitely not get it.

It’s just that Adrian has always insisted on one point. Being a director and a starring role at the same time will inevitably lead to deviations in work, not to mention that Sophie has only started to work hard as a director, so it is suggested that she be replaced by the mother who played the role by Cayden. Since it can put her in a situation , without affecting her work as a director.

In this way, as long as the publicity and distribution are in place enough, it will not be difficult to maintain capital.

Publicity has always been important, and everything needs publicity, which is why Google and Yahoo are fighting over uTube, and that's why the media can make deals with the Bush family. In order to achieve the desired effect. Various methods emerge in endlessly, such as in hot news, such as various shootings or various demonstrations, hiring extras to act as witnesses on the camera to guide the thoughts of the audience in front of the TV. Which of the major media groups Needless to say.

As Adrian once said, the message you get in the media is always the message they want to send you.

Well, this topic is a bit too big. If you want to talk about movies, let's use "Breakthrough" as an example. As early as the beginning of the year. To keep Brokeback Mountain out of the limelight, rumors started swirling that the Marvel director's new movie would be a Johnny Cash biopic.

Although the reporters didn't fully and thoroughly confirm the news, Adrian avoided seeing them and never said it - of course, he didn't deny it. After the Cash family got the communication, they only told the reporter that they had contact with the director of Miracle, but they never talked about the aftermath, so this news has always maintained a certain degree of attention.

Anyway. Cash is a man of the moment. After his death, even the White House issued a statement. This is a great loss for the United States. Letting a legend direct a movie that shows a story of another legend's life is definitely for the fans of Cash. Or what most music fans want to see.

then. Under such circumstances, when the trailer of "Indomitable Action" suddenly landed on major media at the end of August, one can imagine how people would react. Then, a series of prepared marketing methods were pushed out, which quickly occupied people's attention. Jacques and Natalie have also become the best actors of the young version of Cash and Carter. Even if someone objects, they can't make much waves for a while.

The situation is so hot that some people exclaimed that the director of Marvel has already locked in next year's Oscar in advance. It's a pity that they don't know that there is still a film that is still being intensively produced in the later stage. It will be released at the end of the year, and this is the benefit of being able to keep it secret, so Adrian will ask Claude and Victor for help, so that the new movie he is preparing can also be kept secret until March next year.

In fact, he originally had a better choice, to start filming after March next year, as long as it can be released at the end of the year, it doesn't matter if it is known by the public at that time. only. Adrian's plans are not limited to this. To control Hollywood and represent Hollywood, he must stand on Hollywood's side with a clear banner, and at that time, it will be an excellent opportunity.

With the beginning of September, the autumn TV series are also on the agenda, and "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" have finally begun to be broadcast. There is no doubt that the ratings are extremely good. The first episode of "Lost" was released on CBS at 8:00 p.m. The ratings champion at 9 o'clock, whether it is Rachel McAdams as the heroine or Cheryl Tweedy as the supporting role, has gained considerable popularity because of this.

Although Lee Young-ae did not attract much attention due to the lack of eye-catching performance of the Korean character, but when it was broadcast simultaneously in South Korea, it attracted many Koreans and broke several records on the peninsula.

Overall, the premiere was quite successful, and many critics agreed that "Lost" was a very good sci-fi drama, although it was a completely different style from "Super Heroes", and it is expected that it will attract more viewers in the future. Therefore, Rachel, Cheryl, and Li Yingai expressed their gratitude in the same way, which is a bit pity, but they expressed it separately.

But no one expected that since "Lost" could win the ratings champion in the first broadcast, it would definitely keep it in the second week, but a female drama was broadcast, so "Desperate Housewives" received more than 22 million viewers. The ratings unceremoniously squeezed "Lost".

This is a terrifying statistic. You must know that since the beginning of the new century, the development of cable TV has become faster and faster, and there are fewer and fewer TV dramas with a rating of more than 20 million. Excellent work. Records like "Survivor" and "Friends" that set more than 50 million viewers in a certain period of time have basically become extinct, not to mention that these two works were achieved only through accumulated word of mouth.

"Desperate Housewives" can achieve such an astonishing result, one can imagine what a big sensation it will cause, many critics wrote articles to praise, and the four housewives became popular overnight. Adrian took the opportunity to seduce Melinda again at the celebration party, and took her to linger in the small room. Although Melinda complained, she was extremely enthusiastic when lingering.

Moreover, this was just the beginning, after which Vanessa, Eva, and Bridget were all brought into the room by Adrian to play with. He originally wanted to hook up with Tina, and Tina, who was the screenwriter, also played a role in the play, that is, the housewife who committed suicide at the beginning, and she also acted as the narrator at the beginning and end of each episode, plus The car shock left a deep impression on him, so she came up with the idea of ​​a friendly match.

It's a pity that the other party saw it after only a few words, and then quickly found an excuse to leave the party, which is quite regrettable. But if Tina thinks that this can dispel Adrian's thoughts, she will be wrong. The more she does this, the easier it is to arouse Adrian's interest, especially if she is not firm.

However, although there are many praises for "Desperate Housewives", there are also many criticisms. One of them is that the average age of the four housewives is relatively low. As a housewife, I am afraid that it is a bit... not worthy of the name. . . )
