King of Hollywood

"Okay, little guy, get up." Adrian, who was leaning against the head of the bed and getting dressed, patted the little girl who was crawling on the bed next to him, holding the corner of his clothes with one hand, and said a little funny.

"Sleepy..." Emma rubbed her eyes, yawned and lay on the bed, refusing to get up.

"Really." Adrian shook his head, and dressed the little girl as before. He wanted to take the opportunity to tease her, but seeing her lethargic appearance, he gave up the plan. If the little guy is just a little confused, he will laugh and fight with him, and if he is too sleepy, he will be very angry.

After getting dressed, Adrian carried the little guy out of the bedroom, and the middle-aged woman who was preparing breakfast immediately greeted him warmly: "Good morning, Mr. Adrian, I need my help."

"Don't worry, I'll just take care of her, Ma Yi." Adrian shook his head and declined as always.

Then he went into the bathroom of the apartment and washed up for Emma, ​​who was already a little sober. To say that the biggest surprise since entering June is not Claude's acquisition plan, not about getting Pixar from Jobs, but Emma's arrival.

When she first received the phone call, Adrian still couldn't believe it. After all, it is impossible for a child like her to go abroad without a guardian, and her guardian, Rodlin, is recuperating at home with a big belly. Naturally, it is impossible for George not to accompany her. With her, who can bring Emma to America?

But after listening to the explanation, he realized that Rodlin and the others had hired their distant cousin, Mai Quinnlan who had made breakfast just now, to play this role, so this problem was not called a problem.

That being the case, Adrian agreed. Although the other party didn't say anything else, he also guessed something. Ever since he found out that Rodlin was pregnant last time and saw the little girl's slightly depressed appearance, he knew that some things would come sooner or later, not to mention that when talking to Emma, ​​although the little guy didn't show any grievances or anything else I'm sorry, but the eagerness to see him was fully expressed in his tone.

"I want to drink milk again..." After coming out of the bathroom, Emma had already become radiant, but her face would inevitably collapse after seeing breakfast.

"Of course, it's good for you, my dear. If you don't drink it, your body won't be strong. If you don't, I will be very sad." Adrian said with a sigh, followed by a "sad" look.

This trick was 100% effective, and the little guy immediately drank from the cup in a panic, even though he still had a reluctant expression on his face.

There were two knocks on the door, and Charlize, who was wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, walked in, sat down to have breakfast together, and handed today's schedule to Adrian.

"Thank you." Adrian smiled, reached under the table and squeezed her thigh.

"You're welcome." Charlize kept smiling, but squeezed the word out between her teeth.

Because Emma wanted to share the same bed with Adrian, Ma Yi couldn't stay too far away, so Charlize, who originally lived next door to Adrian, gave up the room and moved to the opposite side herself.

This made Adrian quite uncomfortable. After all, watching a young and beautiful girl make breakfast every morning is more pleasant than watching a middle-aged woman make breakfast. But he didn't think too much about it. With Emma by his side, plus he was at work, and there were a lot of reporters around at any time, of course some things couldn't be done. Even when Monica called yesterday, the filming of the scene in New York was over, and he declined the invitation to hang out with him before leaving.

After breakfast, Adrian took Charlize and Emma to the set. Mayi didn't have to follow. Charlize, who had a good relationship with the little girl, would take care of her. After a few days of contact, she got along with Natalie It's also quite good.

Outside the set, there were far fewer reporters watching than when he first arrived in New York. After all, the news value of chasing directors is far less than that of chasing stars. However, although there are fewer people today, they are more active than before. Firstly, because the secretive and half-truth answers of the two parties made this matter quite a gimmick, it has always maintained a certain degree of enthusiasm; secondly, today’s studio is Exterior, filmed outside the police station, Adrian will not be able to hide in the apartment as before, which gives the reporters an opportunity.

"Keep them as far away as possible." Adrian also knew that they would not give up if they didn't give these guys some benefits, so he simply answered a few questions, and then ordered the assistant director to drive them away.

Although the reporters were not satisfied, Adrian's answers were almost the same as the previous statement, but they were obediently kicked out of the set. You should know that no crew will allow reporters to be around during filming, otherwise they can be sued if the progress is affected. Besides, even if Adrian's answer is almost the same, just play a little bit.

"Nata, I need you to feel angry and unwilling, but this anger can't be obvious, understand?" While others were busy arranging the environment, Adrian was telling the play for Natalie.

"Hmm... Do you think this is okay?" Natalie thought for a while, closed her eyes after a while, and opened them after a few seconds. Compared with before, the brown eyes were already filled with a layer of sadness. , his lips were pursed into a line, vaguely seeming to be biting his lips.

"Very good," Adrian said in admiration, "It seems that you have fully recovered, Nada."

But Natalie didn't show joy because of his compliment, instead she glared at him, then ignored his existence and teased Emma who was clutching his trousers. Adrian didn't think it was disobedient, and patted the little guy's head in fear, indicating that she could go with Natalie to play, and then started talking to others.

This is why it is said that Emma was the biggest surprise in June. It was because of her being together that day that Natalie immediately changed her attitude toward him—he looked at her when she came down from the stairs. In her eyes, I thought she should have adjusted it, but I didn't expect it to be so sensitive, what a surprise.

At the same time, it distracted Natalie's attention and made her forget what day it was, so the birthday party later gave her a big surprise. You must know that he spent a lot of time planning this party since he left New York. Not only did he discuss with Natalie's parents on the phone for a long time, but he also deliberately brought Oldman back to the crew.

Facts have proved that his approach is correct. At the birthday party that day, after the initial excitement and surprise, Natalie started to play crazy immediately after her father left. I won’t talk about the specifics, where are the photos and videos, especially a photo between Adrian and Natalie has been circulated among the staff for a long time.

In the photo, Natalie stared at the camera with eyes wide open, with a vicious look as if she was about to bite someone. Her arms were tightly hooked around Adrian's neck, as if she was pulling hard, and Adrian turned over. With white eyes sticking out his tongue, he seemed to be strangled out of breath. It can be seen that Natalie was really excited that day.

But for Adrian, another photo is more worthy of his nostalgia. It was already the end of the party, and Natalie, who was excited to play, probably lost her head, hugged his head from the side and slapped him firmly on the face. The person who happened to take the photo pressed the shutter at the same time, so the intimate appearance was preserved.

Although Natalie's senses have improved a lot if not back to the way they were before because of the birthday party he planned - at least not so sensitive - but because of the photo thing she still has a straight face on him. lukewarm.

Adrian didn't take it to heart, the birthday party was a success anyway, didn't it? As for other aspects, take your time, there is plenty of time, there is no need to rush for a while.

"Gary, I won't tell you the specific things. How about doing everything by yourself?" After a long circle, Adrian came to Oldman, who had already replaced Stan Rubbing his cheeks in that iconic beige suit, evil spirits had already begun to brew.

"No problem, I know what to do." Oldman nodded with a smile. He looked at Adrian as if he wanted to say something, but shrugged and left after hesitating for two seconds.

Although Oldman took back the words that came to his lips, Adrian still understood what he wanted to say, just look at the expressions of the crew members during this time. After all, the scene when Monica came to the crew to visit the set twice in three days is vivid in my memory. I didn't expect Adrian to have an affair with Julia after returning to Los Angeles. I knew the relationship between the two people based on those statements. It's not easy, it's...

Of course, this is his private matter after all, so no one will talk too much, let alone reveal to reporters. Most of the staff have made several movies with Adrian, and they know him well. This situation will not be soft; and Oldman and the others, as actors, are born to reject paparazzi, so naturally they will not talk nonsense. On the contrary, Renault, because of the unique romantic atmosphere of the French, has often made indirect remarks on Adrian, but Adrian will change the topic without leaving a trace every time.

"You're a cunning fellow, Ed," Raynor said finally.

It’s fine to be cunning. When everyone is cunning, Adrian immediately threw himself into the shooting. Although it is enough to make a movie this year, there are other things to observe and prepare for. His foundation is Half of it is better, and the other half needs to be firmly established.

So, after a week of shooting, he announced a pause again and returned to Los Angeles, because Crowder had successfully purchased Pixar from Jobs. One was willing to sell and the other was willing to buy, so the deal was negotiated within a short period of time. Claude originally wanted to lower the price, but thinking of Adrian's original order, he finally achieved it with 52 million US dollars. The reason why Adrian stopped filming and rushed back from New York was to stabilize Pixar's hearts, which is very important. ()
