Chapter 66—The Capitalist

"Eat early?" Adrian was shocked for a few seconds when he heard this question. Lin Xilei's look hadn't changed, as if she were talking about something common.彩 @ 虹 * 文 ￥ 学% 网 m {} Although this is exactly what he wants to see, she's going into the state too soon, right? After Adrian thought about it, he asked with interest: "Is there any choice?"

Lin Xilei then handed a folder to him: "I made some selections first, if these are not what you want, it is not too late to look at the others."

Adrian picked it up in confusion, and almost sprayed out after opening it. The home page was pretty fine coated paper with four photos on it, and the price code was clearly marked below. Although there was no price code, but this time Do you still need to say clearly? There are 14 women in 7 pages in the folder, which are basically all heard by Adrian in the past, so clearly marked ...

"A little exaggerated, right?" Adrian raised the folder in Yang's hand with amusement. He didn't care about the price of hundreds of thousands or millions on it. This is just a piece of cake. It's so special.

It seems that the way of selecting goods is definitely an insult to those women, but it is also a pleasure to men. It is like ... the emperor turned the brand in a braid show, and this kind of design guy will try to figure out the psychology of men.

"Not at all, this is just the price of invitation." Lin Xilei shrugged at this moment.

When she said that, Adrian knew that it was one thing to invite, and it was another thing to go to bed. Of course, after spending so much money, getting the other person to bed is just a breeze.

"How did you get this?" Adrian asked curiously.

"I think you may need it, so I got in touch with the old woman who persuaded Zhiling before. She is a very good middleman." Lin Xilei continued to shrug, and looked at the folder with some complicated eyes.

middleman? Adrian raised an eyebrow, then understood it, smiled and stopped asking. Then, he noticed her look, at first a little confused, but quickly reacted, followed by a chuckle in his heart. If she didn't get the action of the current agent, she was afraid that the name would be on it.

"Frankly, it's very appetizing for me, but ..." Adrian made this gesture and wanted to say something.

"This transaction was conducted in a very secret situation, the other party is a senior person, and I warned her and agreed to pay an extra amount to shut her up, I think you should not mind, right?" Lin Xilei said He paused here and watched Adrian smile. "Zhi Ling doesn't mind."

Adrian showed a surprised look. The reason he was worried was to consider Lin Zhiling's image. If another woman came over, it would be tantamount to tell others that Lin Zhiling was raised by him? Although this matter will be discovered sooner or later, it can be a little later. Since Lin Zhiling has been serving him with all his heart, he doesn't mind standing in her place and thinking about her.

But now ... think about it a little, Adrian knew Shuanglin's plan, and immediately shook his head with a smile.

"Not satisfied? So continue or not?" Lin Xilei sighed lightly.

"Which one do you think is good?" Adrian pushed the folder back with a smile, and Lin Xilei immediately showed an unexpected look. Compared to Charlize and Ivanka, she was still impassive, so she could only do this. Already.

"Well, in" Flying Dragons in Heaven "broadcast last year, one person played two corners and became a popular idol. It is called Taiwan ’s eight o'clock, and you should like it in your taste in Japan." Lin Xilei browsed a few pages of documents and jumped out a photo and passed it, "And about the same size as Zhiling."

"You know a lot." Adrian praised and sighed again, if it wasn't for Ivanka who could stand up to the beam, if she wasn't Chinese, it would be good to be a life secretary.

"So it's her." He played the photo, his pretty face, with a smile, very youthful and sweet, "Miss Jia Jingwen."

Jia Jingwen is a native Taiwanese girl. She has appeared in some movies of China Television during her teenage years, but she graduated from Beijing Film Academy and her father officially entered the entertainment industry after failing to do business. In the first few years, the development did not go well. It was not noticed until 1999 when it appeared in the Taiwanese drama "The Seventh Couple—Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai." Then it became popular with "Flying Dragons in the Sky" last year.

Such a woman is easy to be seduced, although the middleman did not disclose Adrian's identity, he easily talked to her. Then, still that sentence, have already participated, is it still pretending to be reserved? Especially the target is Hollywood media tycoon. She was a little nervous at first, but Adrian let her down a few words and then looked at him with an inexplicable look.

Adrian has seen this many times, so when she pressed her on the bed, she didn't have the slightest burden, and enjoyed it with Jia Jingwen's flattery. Of course, the carnival of the foursome will definitely not be less. What Lin Zhiling doesn't mind is that, and she has joined in, will Lin Xilei still escape?

Jia Jingwen obviously hasn't played these, and at first it was a bit resistant, but after a little struggle, she obeyed, and then gradually started to take the initiative. Unfortunately, Adrian was just playing. Not to mention all the things about her in memory, it is enough to have two Asians on the collection shelf. Lin Xilei was out of curiosity and wanted to find a suitable broker for Lin Zhiling, and the investment was very cost-effective. As for Liu Yuquan, one is to verify whether the stories about their mother and daughter in memory are true, and the other is to consider for Zhang Qiu of the Harry Potter series-the original version is too bad.

And so far, Asians have been collecting too much, and there have been few good roles to be separated out more, and Hollywood's culture of discriminating against Asians cannot be changed by a media tycoon. So when I got up this morning, while Jia Jingwen was still dozing off, Adrian told Lin Xilei that it would be like this in the future. He would not take it back if he had a suitable play.

Adrian knew Shuanglin's thoughts. Like Lin Xilei's recommendation to Liu Yudi last time, they wanted to join forces for more benefits. In fact, it is not necessary at all. As mentioned above, there is not much to divide.

"For me, it's enough to have the two of you here in Taiwan." Adrian said, looking at the door on the other side, and soon Lin Zhiling came out in a bathrobe wiping wet hair and grinning.

There is no doubt that last night was a crazy foursome, otherwise Jia Jingwen would not be able to get up now, of course, it is also related to her being played by three people in turn.

"So there is no need to worry about that much, okay? Just keep the situation as it is now." After Lin Zhiling sat in her arms, Adrian squeezed her chin and said, while reaching out and pinching Lin Xilei's face Take.

"I see." Lin Zhiling said softly, although Lin Xilei still had a faint smile, but she had a distinctly relaxed expression.

This was the end of the trip to Taiwan, leaving Lin Xilei to accompany Lin Zhiling to cope with the propaganda of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Adrian returned to Los Angeles. After a two-day break, I followed the route of Los Angeles-New York-London to the United Kingdom. This must be done every year, but Emma Jr. would never be satisfied.

"It's late, why can't you be a little earlier?" Even though Adrian was happy to see himself, Emma still waved her arms and questioned fiercely.

"Okay, okay, Your Excellency the Queen, because I was late for causing a huge loss to you, I apologize for this and would like to make some compensation." Adrian squatted in front of her, posing The posture of seeing the queen said solemnly, and immediately attracted the laughter of many people including her aunt.

Little Emma can't help pouting, glaring at him unhappy, but Adrian didn't care to hold her face and smiled and shook it several times. Little Emma immediately opened her hands and opened her mouth, and made it fiercely. The look of "I'm going to bite you" was completely lacking the ingenuity and calmness of Hermione, and it immediately caused a laugh.

"Well, anyway, I'm still here, can't you give me a smiley face?" Adrian tripped with both hands.

"Want me to give you a smile? That's not easy to see." Emma said, looking at him with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed, and then made a lot of requests, even in the next few days. The private jet took her too much demand to tour the whole of Western Europe and part of Eastern Europe. Unexpectedly, Adrian actually agreed.

"Honestly tell me, Ed, why would you agree to be so refreshing? If it was the case before, you would cut off at least half of the conditions?" After strolling around Lake Meralen in Stockholm, dressed Asked Adrian, who was in a thick fleece with gloves and earmuffs, indented on the bench, and giggled and reached out to pull his face, as if hiding another underneath. people.

"Because after the release of" Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone "at the end of this year, you can't imagine that unbridled playing like this now becomes impossible." Adrian said, clutching her head.

"Oh? Is it so powerful?" Little Emma blinked.

"Trust me, as a fairly good director, my judgment is generally not wrong." Adrian shrugged and said in a "modest" tone.

"Not bad?" Little Emma hummed at him with her hands on her hips. "If the director of miracles says he can only be pretty good, should other directors commit suicide by shame?"

"Then you still ask!" Adrian grabbed her for a moment and rubbed, the little guy giggled as he struggled.

After a while of trouble, the two men calmed down, and after breathing, Little Emma hugged Adrian, put his head on his shoulders and said in a contented tone: "I love you, Ed."

Listening to her emotional words, Adrian frowned slightly, but quickly restored calmness, and patted her back gently: "I love you too, Emma."

In addition to visiting Little Emma and playing with her when coming to London, asking about the progress of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is also one of his things. Basically, there are only some finishing work left in the movie, except for the opening and closing credits, which have been completed. Adrian watched a few passages in the London studio to select the clips. Frankly, Chris? Columbus did a very good job. It is indeed a director who is famous for making family-friendly films, so the next "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" should also be on the agenda.

"You have to give me time to rest, Ed. I haven't had a good time with my wife and children for a long time." Columbus sighed, rather reluctantly.

"Yes, I know, Chris, I look at your hard work," Adrian advised with a smile, "but you also know that children always develop quickly, especially those around ten Little children, if you procrastinate too long, the first one still looks like a child, and the second one will say that it is OK to be 13 or 4 years old, which will give people a sense of incongruity. "

Having said that, he paused before saying, "Besides, I have no intention to let the crew start shooting now, as long as it is not turned on before July, you have enough time to accompany the family."

Columbus was still a hesitant look. He agreed with Adrian in his heart. The children's film series is like this. If you do n’t hurry up, once a child develops into an adult, he wo n’t be able to make the original feeling. . And he also likes the Harry Potter series very much, otherwise he would not have moved his home to London for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

But the problem is that this is a huge project. Columbus, who had arranged the casting and production in one hand, had a clear understanding of this. Shooting, production, and post-production must be asked one by one, not to mention that Rowling was still nearby, and any questions related to the direction of the script She had to be consulted, and it would be almost impossible to make such a film in less than a year. There are currently four novels in the entire series. I heard Rowling said that there may be a total of seven, oh god, would he want to stay in London for 7 years or more?

The same thing is done too much, even when I like it again, there will be times of exhaustion. After the initial freshness of the children in the family, he has criticized his father for a long time either in the studio or in the studio, which made him Very contradictory.

Adrian naturally could see it, so he did not persecute him: "So, Chris, Joe's current four novels you have also read, since the third part is a bit adult, so you only need It's enough to direct the first two, I think it should be okay. "

"Well, you are the boss." Columbus agreed after sighing after thinking about it.

Indeed, the more the whole series becomes more adult, the more directors like Columbus are not suitable for it. This is why some people in the past have always said that the first two films are the best because they have enough childishness. .

Of course, it is also a problem that the director is not suitable, but after the production of "The Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is completed, the little actors are basically finalized, and then the next few can be slowly produced . Adrian believes that as long as the director and Rowling are willing to listen to their opinions, the next few will be better than the previous ones. Speaking of which, a few small actors also performed very well, and Emma Jr need not say. Even Rowling praised her. As soon as she came to the camera, she was a true Hermione. And Eric as Harry? Reese and George as Ron? Sanders also performed very well. As long as children grow up in a healthy environment, they will have an indescribable aura.

Just like Little Emma, ​​although she suffered such a big disaster, and her aunt inevitably shifted emotionally after giving birth to her own child, Adrian was used as a sustenance for her feelings as she grew up. Played an important role, so she is still growing up healthily-oh, of course, if she is not so precocious and too old-fashioned, even better.

Now that Columbus has agreed, the preparations for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" can be officially started. With the experience of preparing for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", most of the affairs can be left to other people to do, he can Feel free to leave time for your family, as long as it is turned on before July. It should be enough to shoot for half a year, it is not enough, Adrian can also make "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" release a little later-originally scheduled for the Christmas stall at the end of the year.

The reason for this is to avoid the situation where the small actors suspend the filming and request a new contract after the box office sale. This kind of thing is very normal, no matter who it is, it will not be high for the first time as an actor. Once it becomes popular, it is inevitable to increase the pay. Although Universal's pay for them is relatively good, and it is stipulated in the contract that they will be gradually increased, and they will get more in the second movie than the first movie, but they are still not enough in front of the high-priced box office.

So this kind of thing will definitely happen, and most of them will get the support of the cast's old actors, as a capitalist ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Adrian naturally how to do it can make a greater degree of profit- Well, this is a joke, he thinks more about that, once the conversation is not reached, the filming will also be put on hold, and then rushing to work before will be wasted.

What's more important is that once the delay is too long, the little actor is long and tall, and if it is not consistent with the previous pictures, it will be re-shot as much as possible, so the waste will be extremely serious.

However, it is not possible without long-term negotiations. If the series is only two or three, he can prepare a high-paid contract in advance, as short as possible to waste time, but the problem is that the "Harry Potter" series is not If there are accidents, there will be seven. If the actors are initially asked to increase their pay, they will be given generous conditions. What if they often have an appetite for this? Of course, because of the high box office of the "Harry Potter" series of movies, such negotiations will inevitably be in the future, but the dominant power must be in their own hands, just like the six stars of "Friends" will be paid.

In short, it is necessary to complete the filming of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" before the release of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" ... Well, from this point of view, Adrian is still a capitalist.
