Vol 2 Chapter 187: Lily's charm

No matter how envious and jealous the major Hollywood studios are, they can't stop "Titanic" from staying in the top 15 of the North American box office charts and refreshing their records.
Adrian didn't put much energy on it, but just told him to continue to maintain moderate propaganda, at least to let the big ship survive the Christmas-New Year period.
"As long as this period has passed, we can make this miracle more difficult to surpass." He said so.
Although "Titanic" has made enough box office, the crown of the best-selling movie in the history of the movie is also worn on the head, there are also many fans who have watched ten consecutive games, but want to continue to make a lot of money even at the end of this year. It is impossible to return to the top ten. Adrian also knows this. He arranged this but wanted to make the miracle more miracle in his own hands. You know, even the original record has not been reached yet.
Of course, this matter has not seen results yet, he has to survive the current schedule first, so he pays more attention to other things, such as the scheduling of the three upcoming movies, of which only "Doomsday" Most suitable for the whole family to watch. "Killing Moment" is a feature film and "Luo Secret" belongs to the nostalgic crowd. If you can't reasonably arrange the screening time, it may have the opposite effect.
As for the Matrix, if you pay a lot of overtime, you should be able to complete all the late stages in mid-December, but the time for publicity may not be enough. After thinking about it for a long time, Adrian gave up this year. Plans for release. This also reminded him that with the release of the big ship, there will be more and more movies with special effects as a selling point in the future, and the production cycle, especially in the later period, will be longer, so after he will direct such In the case of movies, this must be taken into account.
In addition, he also had to ask about the preparation and production of several new movies. The giant system began to prepare people after selling the film adaptation rights. For more than a year, Adrian also had a lot. Talk to the person in charge, although the progress is not fast, don't forget that there is still a year next year. The movie for Monica has also been put on the agenda. It is no accident that it can be turned on next summer. Adrian is also fully prepared to make some people understand what is implicit temptation. Of course, the stand-in is still To be prepared.
Operation "Swordfish", which was originally planned to invite Wolverine to join, has also been formally established. This film is still good in terms of production, but unfortunately, it has encountered a rather bad schedule, otherwise it will not be sold. Box office cost recovery should be no problem. As for the actor, Jackman hasn't been contacted yet. I have to wait for Owitz to sign him first. Sean Pan has already agreed initially after watching the script. As for Harry Berry, Adrian will draw himself. Time to talk to her.
In other cases, the script of "Death Squad" has been officially completed, and it fully complies with the rules of Hollywood commercial movies. It starts with an introduction to the team members, and then pays the task to claim the money. Unknown secrets were discovered during the rescue, and then revealed. It doesn't take much brains, the main thing is that tough guys show their muscles.
"I look forward to cooperating with them." Schwarzenegger finally agreed, and the film pay was also very good. As for the generous reason, it goes without saying.
But this is just the beginning, and there are more players to be determined. Even if the action actors on the list cannot be all drawn in, at least half of them need to be pulled in.
These are all ready, but "Spider-Man" has been delayed a little bit, and Adrian will arrange it to start at the end of next year. Although Sam Remy is pursuing a transformation, there is no deadline because there are still movies to be directed and produced. Since he did a good job in the original version, why can't he still be held responsible? And the default actress Kirsten also has a new movie to complete: "Girlish Cheerleaders"!
Thanks to the habit of looking through the script of various film companies, Adrian discovered the script of the film from the new line last year, and then took it in his own hands, which young girl he intended to star in. However, since Kirsten didn't want to go through this embarrassing age too plainly, it didn't matter that she was the heroine. At that time, she knew that the transformation of the vase was not so easy.
Of course, this series will be in charge of the new line. Yes, yes, this can be made into a series. Among the various events in the United States, the cheerleaders are a unique landscape. The leader of the school cheerleaders is usually the most Popular girl. Therefore, the film's positioning is the middle-investment youth market, which is suitable for those newcomers.
As for Spider-Man, the copyright is in the hands, so why bother when it comes out, right?
But these things can't be done right away, and it will take a lot of time, so Adrian's most urgent thing is ...
"This, it's not delicious," the little boy shook his head like a rattle, and then stretched out his little finger toward the fruit salad on the other side of the table. "That, yes."
"Lily." Adrian lowered the knife and fork in his hand and yelped in a reminder tone.
"It doesn't matter, she likes it." Martha laughed, waved the servant who wanted to come up to help, and personally clipped a small plate of fruit salad for Lily and put it in front of her.
"Thank you, grandma." The little man yelled arrogantly, then slipped off the seat, then ran to the top of the long table with a plate shaking, and pushed the fruit salad down in front of the old man.
"This is ... for me?" Anderson looked at the little guy in surprise.
"Huh!" The little guy nodded his head firmly, his bright eyes stared at him without blinking, full of hope.
"... why ... give me?" The uncle, who had been slumped since Adrian entered the door, could not help slowing down in the face of Lily.
"Grandpa has no expression on his face, it's not good." The little boy crooked his head and thought for a while before answering seriously, "Grandpa hasn't eaten this, it's delicious, and he will be happy after eating."
"So you come over a plate for me, don't you?" The old man's expression became softer and softer, and he reached out and stroked the little guy's head before whispering, "Thank you for your gift, you are really Little lady, can I kiss you if you don't mind? "
Although Lily didn't understand it, she probably understood Grandpa's meaning. She hesitated, and then narrowed her neck, but then raised her chest and closed her eyes with a look of death.
"What ... what's this?" Anderson looked at her curiously, and looked at his wife at the dining table, as well as Adrian and Kate. They also looked like they didn't understand.
This is so, Anderson still bent down, and gently touched the little girl's face, then the little girl giggled.
"It's very different." Lili grabbed her face where Grandpa kissed, and stared at him with curly eyes.
"Oh? What's different?" Anderson asked quickly.
"It's soft, itchy, unlike the other grandpa, it's hard." The little girl pointed at the beard on Anderson's chin.
Anderson chuckled a rare smirk, and touched her head again: "I'm glad you like it, Lily, go back to your place."
After a pause, he looked at Adrian: "Give your father a fruit salad, too."
Unexpectedly, Lily shook her head very firmly: "No, Dad doesn't need it!"
"Oh?"
"Dad is a badass!"
Compared to some previous sentences, they are still a little vague in pronunciation, but this sentence is quite clear and fluent, and it has obviously been said many times. Anderson froze, and the burst of laughter burst into laughter. The shaking of his head seemed to have not been so happy for a long time. The hearty laughter quickly infected the others in the house, and not only 婶婶 and Kate laughed, even The servants serving next to him were also laughing.
The only one who didn't laugh was Adrian. He glanced depressed, wondering what everyone was laughing, but followed the daughter who was laughing, and stuffed a thin slice of Thanksgiving turkey into his mouth: "Okay. Come on, I'm a badass. "
After the Thanksgiving dinner, Anderson naturally had to call Adrian away from the study, leaving Kate to take her daughter and Martha to chat in another room.
"You aren't married, are you?" Anderson asked politely when he entered the room, and the expression on his face returned to the old fashioned.
"Yes," Adrian answered calmly.
"So Lily is an illegitimate child?" The old man asked further.
"If it's traditional, then yes." Adrian smiled slightly.
Anderson snorted heavily. Why couldn't he hear what he said? After walking around the study twice, the old man sighed: "You said she was two years old before. Do you plan to keep doing this? "
Then he whispered again, "I actually knew it later than the old guy Benedict."
Hearing this sentence, Adrian almost laughed. I didn't expect that the unrelenting uncle would have such a side, but it also showed that Lily was popular everywhere. Kate was still a little worried when he decided to bring his daughter to New York. She has been here several times and knows Anderson's temper, but Adrian didn't take it to heart. This phenomenon is common across generations. Even if his uncle would be dissatisfied, he would only come to him.
Now, both the uncle's and uncle's performance have proved that his judgment is correct.
"Almost." Adrian shrugged, still maintaining his frankness, and since he decided to take Lily to his uncle's house, he knew these things could not be avoided.
"Can you really say that?" Anderson sneered. "It's the first thing in Cowell's house to say such words in a grand manner. Well, even if you don't consider it for your ... lover, you always Think about it for your children? Not dare to take on family responsibilities. This is a cowardly act! It also goes against our tradition! "
"Don't dare, just don't want to," Adrian replied lazily. "I won't give up the whole forest for a tree, uncle."
Anderson frowned suddenly, showing obvious dissatisfaction, but Adrian immediately raised his hand and shook his hand: "I know what you want to say, uncle, if I literally take it, I agree very much, but the problem is How many people have actually done this? There are more than one lover after marriage, even ... my father once did. "
At this point he laughed softly, and Anderson coughed, frowning but not receiving a cavity.
"If you want to do it, you must do it, and I am confident that I can do it, but the problem is that I don't want to do it. I want to experience a more colorful life. Why do I have to do it now?" Adrienne Ann spread her hands and kept the calm look. "Lily is the daughter of me and Kate anyway, no one can deny it, and no one can separate us."
After a long while of silence, Anderson sighed again and looked at him with a complex look: "You are not like your father at all here, even when your father and I were young ... it was quite like your grandpa."
Adrian raised his eyebrows. He never knew about his grandfather, but when he looked through the diary left by his father, he knew vaguely that he remained in love until his middle age, and his relationship with his grandma was not very good. Well, there may be reasons for the marriage of the wealthy, but they still care about the two children.
If he were alive, there might be a lot of common language between us. Adrian couldn't help thinking that. Listening to my uncle's tone, I was afraid that Grandpa was far more than that. Just as he did, he also had a very reasonable explanation for what he did.
"How are you chatting?" Asked Kate, who returned to the bedroom after coaxing her daughter to sleep with Adrian.
"It's nothing. Although his uncle is old-fashioned, he is not a person who doesn't know the flexibility." Adrian shrugged, took off his jacket and left it aside.
"Really?" Kate's tone was light, but there was something faint.
"But he wants me to marry you." Adrian said with a smile, sitting next to her, grabbing her waist, placing her head on her shoulders and smelling the fragrance, "What do you think I should do?" "
"Do you think this is interesting?" Kate snorted softly after glancing at him, then turned to herself in the vanity mirror and sighed again before saying: "I thought about it when I was pregnant ... but ... I know, I know very well that you will never agree. When you didn't even lie to me, you knew what kind of person you were. "
"Oh? What kind of person am I?" Adrian breathed softly in her ear.
Kate froze for a moment, glaring at him angrily, and staring at himself and Adrian in the vanity mirror for a moment, his eyes became confused: "I don't know, or indescribable ... probably positive Because of this, I will easily fall into your carefully woven trap. "
"Remember what I said, Kate?" Adrian laughed. "You actually understand, why must you use other excuses to deny it?"
"... maybe a little reconciled," Kate muttered.
"So, tomorrow, there will be a party in Manhattan's Upper East Side. Would you like to accompany me?" Adrian suddenly said.
"Party? What kind of party?" Kate was also happy to shift the subject.
"What else can there be, high-class people get together, talk about each other's current situation, communicate with each other, and maybe seize a good opportunity." Adrian said in a depressed face on the bed, "God, I really hope Crow is here. "
Adrian does not exclude such parties. Many times, many things are initially settled in this kind of place, and the network is also expanded here. However, his ability in business is not good after all. It might make him timid. When encountering such topics, Claude usually added him from the side, but if Claude was not there ...
"So what do you think, Ed, about the impact of the Thai baht crisis." The old man asked with a smile, he had a boxy face, half a hundred hairs were neatly combed, a little blessed but 5'11 " His height makes him look very healthy, his smile is very kind, and he wears a pair of simple glasses, a suit and leather shoes, and a gentleman, just like a university professor.
"There is no doubt that expansion is a sure thing in the Asian financial crisis," Adrian shrugged. "East Asian to Southeast Asian countries are almost no different from Thailand."
"You seem to be missing a country, Ed." The old man reminded.
"Yes, I know, but if international hot money is going to provoke them, maybe they will suffer a small loss." Adrian said easily, "After all, that country is not like us, and they are very good at concentrating Major events, no matter how large the amount of international hot money is, it cannot recognize the blow of an undisturbed sovereign state. "
"You have to admit, you have a lot of reference," the old man nodded, thinking with a smile, "you seem to know China well, Ed."
"Some, not too much, but among Americans ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is a bit more understandable." Adrian smiled, "My Chinese is also good."
"Ha, this is good news. If you don't have your own company, we might be able to hire you as a consultant on China issues." The old man laughed.
"Well, if one day I no longer serve as chairman of the media, and Goldman Sachs needs it, I will be happy to help you, Mr. Warren." Adrian owed slightly.
"You are really good, Ed, and I rarely miss my sight," the old man continued to laugh, and then patted his shoulder. "Well, I have something else, so I won't chat with you anymore. . "
Adrian then made a beckoning gesture, watching the other person walk into the crowd, and then exhaled long and completely. If we continue to talk, the order in the stomach will be exhausted, which is why although I have seen this old man several times before, I rarely talk about it for a long time. It's not that he doesn't want to. Buffett does have a scholarly temperament, but it doesn't mean that he is really a scholar, just like he is generous in charity, but the nature of a businessman will not change.
Quick thinking and high insight. This is what Adrian gave him, but fortunately he has finally left.
