King of Hollywood

"This world is very exciting. There are many things waiting for you to explore in the future. This world is also very dangerous. Interpersonal communication and self-cultivation often determine a person's future. You may not understand these things now, but sooner or later as you get older You have to face these, and what Dad wants to do is to make you realize in this way what you want to do and what you can do." Adrian said in a gentle tone, stroking his daughter's little face.

Lily, who was lying on the bed in checkered pajamas and was about to fall asleep, blinked her eyes for a long time, then closed her eyes and hummed: "Dad still doesn't give up."

"Lily!" Adrian emphasized his tone in a funny and angry manner.

"Okay, okay," the little girl giggled, "don't be so serious, please, dear dad, I'll take care of my affairs, I'm not a two- or three-year-old kid anymore, and don't forget, I But Super Lily!"

As she spoke, she raised her arms and made a strong figure on the bed. Adrian couldn't help laughing at that cute and serious look, but then sighed again.

"Of course I know, you are smarter than most of your peers, Lily, I have always been proud of you." He stroked the little guy's head, "So, sometimes Dad is nagging, if you don't nagging, there is no chance .”

"Why?" Lily opened her eyes wide with curiosity.

"Because in a few years, when you stay in school for a long time, you will start to refute your parents, start to have your own ideas, and find ways to prove that this is right. For this reason, you will not hesitate to quarrel with your parents." Adrian Said in a gentle tone.

"Hmm..." The little guy pursed his mouth and thought for a long time, "Will it reach that level? It won't be..."

Although the voice was drawn out, but the puzzled look in his eyes was enough to explain everything, Adrian couldn't help laughing again, and the strength in his hands increased a bit: "It's inevitable, dear , everyone is an independent individual, they see the world from different perspectives and ways, maybe some people have similarities, but not 100% the same. Sooner or later you will observe and analyze this from your own perspective The world. You will also have your own interpretation, which does not depend on any will, and what parents have to do is to guide you how to understand the world correctly, instead of imposing your own worldview, outlook on life and values ​​on you .”

"Wow, Dad is so serious." Lily stuck out her tongue.

Adrian smiled slightly: "So, if this happens in the future, remember to remind Dad appropriately. Do you know?"

Although the little girl is very smart, it's still too early to say this, but it doesn't mean that she can't feel her father's intentions, so she stretched out her arms and hugged him, and put her body on his face very seriously. Kissed: "Got it, Dad. I love you."

Of course, it is impossible for this ghost to stay in this state for a long time, so she immediately said seriously: "Even if I have many aunts and sisters besides my mother."

"Okay, sleep well!" Adrian said, rolling his eyes, and kissed his daughter on the forehead. Turn off the bedside lamp and leave.

"Is Lily asleep?" As soon as he left the bedroom, he met Kate oncoming.

"Sleep, where are the other children?" Adrian asked back.

"They're all asleep, including Emma." Kate nodded, with a narrow expression on her face, "Do you want me to say that it's hard work?"

After Adrian had a "serious" discussion with Lily about her schooling in the evening. The little guy chased the aunts all night to ask about schooling, and asked his mother seriously how much he could get paid for what he helped with. Paying by myself made everyone very happy and made Adrian very headache, chasing her and nagging until she went to bed.

"You can't just comfort me with words." Adrian put his arms around her waist.

Kate snorted and put her hands on his shoulders. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Is the monthly pocket money of 5 dollars a little less?"

"It's quite a lot, honey," Adrian kneaded her waist, "She's still a kid, and $5 is enough at this stage, and it won't be too late when she goes to junior high school and high school, I hope She understands the meaning of making money from distributing her pocket money, just like Yi Ni, so don't worry, it's not good if you spoil her too much."

Having said that, Adrian doesn't think that being educated like Ivanka from a young age is a good means. Freedom is needed, but rules are also needed. The key lies in whether the parents can handle all kinds of things flexibly. question. In a sense, Trump’s education has failed. Without his intervention, Ivanka would only gradually become mediocre and find a man to marry.

Although the sheep-herding education can make a person independent quickly, it will also quickly lose his edges and corners. Adrian doesn't like Lily, who is smart and mischievous, to become mediocre in the future. If a person wants to be successful, he must wrap the edges and corners with a sleek appearance, be able to handle people well and stick to his goals unwaveringly, instead of being the same from the inside out.

Taking Ivanka as an example again, even though it cost a lot of money to get the position of secretary assistant, she has fully utilized her talents and what she has learned. As I said before, this position is often equivalent to the chairman of the board of directors of half of the media, and it is quite capable to do a good job. Charlize, who has already taken up the post, is the best proof.

In fact, Kate should understand this point, but as a mother and a woman, coupled with all kinds of entanglements with Adrian, she can't help but favor her child emotionally—after knowing that Monica and Sophie were pregnant at the same time, She has been very depressed for a while, and it is also because of this that she firmly opposes Lily going to a public school.

But there was another reason for Adrian to agree. The reason why he wanted to arrange for Lily to go to a public elementary school. The main reason is that she should focus on enjoying her childhood at this stage. How to say about American education, there is not much difference between primary schools, and although the top universities are all private, there are also many well-known public ones, such as LA or the University of Michigan, etc., so elite education The watershed is secondary education in grades 7 to 12.

Generally speaking, public middle schools are basically a mixed bag, and most young people just squander their youth in them. Private middle schools are relatively stricter, and the teaching content may not be as abnormal as the Chinese high schools in the previous life, but they pay great attention to the cultivation of comprehensive quality. And the cultivation of interpersonal relationship also starts from this time.

Adrian originally planned to let Lily experience the school atmosphere in a public elementary school first, try to communicate with more people, and slowly find her own direction. She is very smart, and now she can basically read newspapers smoothly. Well, those elementary school lessons were no problem for her. However, the children in public elementary schools are also uneven, and her status is also a problem. It would be very troublesome to be exposed by someone with a big mouth. Private elementary schools are much better in this respect. If a large amount of sponsorship is drawn over, the principal must make good arrangements.

Out of this consideration, Adrian finally gave up the idea of ​​sending Lily to a public primary school, and chose Horaceman Primary School together with Kate.

"Okay, okay. I see." Although Kate sighed, she kissed Adrian next, and the two immediately had a lingering moment in the corridor.

"You can always arouse my desire, dear Kate," Adrian said with a smile holding her face after parting. "But it's not enough."

"Then what do you want?" Kate snorted teasingly, "Would you like to call Charlie? Sarah? Or Ennie? Or two of them?"

"Why...not together?" Adrian said with a smirk.

Kate narrowed her eyes.

"Don't push yourself too hard, Ed!" She warned, and as soon as she finished speaking, he resisted and strode towards the end of the corridor.

"Damn it. Ed! Put me down, you bastard!" Kate screamed and struggled.

"Quiet, dear, everyone is asleep." Adrian slapped her buttocks unceremoniously, making a crisp sound. Although Kate screamed in pain, her voice and the degree of struggle They all became much smaller, and their faces turned slightly red immediately. Then he was resisted into the room.

But what they didn't know was that at the corner at the other end of the corridor, little Emma in pajamas was leaning against the wall with her arms folded on her chest and one leg backwards. The slippers kept lighting on the ground, watching The wall in front of him squinted his eyes, pursed his mouth and raised his eyebrows, as if he was very dissatisfied.

This night, with the help of Charlize, Adrian, who showed off his glory, once again completed the 1v4 feat. Before that, although Kate, Sarah, Charlize and Kate, Charlize, and Ivanka had already become the custom, but because Sarah and Ivanka were not familiar, even if Adrian had that idea, he couldn't Take action, but sooner or later this barrier will slowly disappear with the passage of time, so the situation of 1v4 is also a matter of course, so the four women who woke up the next morning and fell asleep together did not complain about this what.

Of course, Kate couldn't help muttering: It seems that a bigger bed should be ordered. Adrien pretended not to hear the laughter of the women, but if it wasn't for some factors, he really wanted to pull Yukie in to try the next one-on-five challenge, well, so it is true It is necessary to prepare a large bed.

Well, this is just a small episode. After dealing with the matter in Los Angeles, Adrian immediately went to London. First, he sent little Emma home. Second, it took several months. There were more than 5,000 people with A girl of Asian descent signed up, and the casting of Harry Potter's first love, Zhang Qiu, will be announced soon, and he must ensure that the result is what he wants to see.

"I choose this." In the meeting room of the production company in London, facing director Michael Newell and JK Rowling and several other principals, Adrian will look the most well-behaved, very The little girl next door picked out the photos of the Chinese girls who felt like they were there, and no one would be caught except Liu Yufei.

"This?" Rowling frowned. Of course she was dissatisfied, she had already set her sights on another one.

Unlike the one from the Hong Kong immigrant family in the previous life, although this is a Chinese girl, she is the child of a second-generation immigrant who lives in Liverpool. They can't even speak Cantonese, let alone Mandarin, but one thing is very similar to the one in the previous life, they all have a big face.

"Of course, I immigrated to the UK two years ago. My mother runs a gallery and is a dancer. She also got good grades in school and played small roles in some stage plays, which is very suitable." Adrian said in a relaxed tone , and gestures before Rowling speaks. "Don't worry, Joe, I know what you want to say, but I have good reasons for choosing her."

Rowling chose the Chinese girl in Liverpool because she felt that her lifestyle was completely British. After all, Zhang Qiu was not a girl who transferred from an Eastern Magic Academy. If she changed her name in the novel, she would not be named. If you are of Chinese descent, then you are a Western girl, such a role. How can a young girl who has only immigrated for two years and is still very Chinese in her behavior and affairs show it.

But Adrian had enough reasons to convince her, and all he had to do was to convince her. From the beginning to the end, the director Neville and several people in charge didn't speak, and Liu Yufei was taken care of all the way to this point. Even people who didn't know it at first are now aware of it, so why would they argue with the big boss?

"I need to use her to open up the Chinese market." Adrian said lightly, although it was very simple, Rowling also frowned. But he didn't speak again.

Why add a character of oriental descent to this novel? In addition to showing the tolerance of British culture, it is more to attract Asian readers. Since novels can do this for sales, why can't movies do the same for box office? You must know that after "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released in mainland China at the beginning of this year, the box office exceeded 5 million US dollars, and the total box office of last year's mainland movies was only 100 million US dollars, and this is still flying all over the sky. And I got it when the 2000 novel officially landed in the mainland.

Anyone with a bit of a brain will know that the film market in mainland China has not been fully developed, and the potential of the Harry Potter series in the mainland has not been fully developed, so it is not a problem to talk about opening up the Chinese film market.

"If you're not afraid of trouble, Joe, you can do an experiment," Adrian continued with a smile, "take pictures of these two girls and go to China. Do random surveys on the streets and ask them, the two girls Which one is beautiful. To open up the Chinese market, we must cater to their preferences. If we choose a girl with a very ordinary appearance in the eyes of Orientals to play this role, will they like it? This casting has caused a sensation in mainland China. You should Heard about it."

Although the casting this time is not as sensational as those three at the beginning, it has indeed attracted a lot of attention, and there are also a lot of cheeky self-hypes. Bragging in front of reporters that he has a good chance of getting the role. Similarly, this casting has also aroused many discussions in China. Many people are excited to speculate whether girls from mainland China will be invited to audition. Netizens who are hungry for information on the Internet are especially excited. The corner discussion has several replies to thousands of posts.

After experiencing the embassy, ​​the South China Sea and many other incidents, I finally breathed a sigh of relief because of 9/11. The national power began to rise slowly, and the people naturally longed for recognition from other countries—no matter what. Naive as it may be, showing kindness at this time will surely pay off handsomely.

"I have invested in mainland China and established some connections. I also introduced a film company's film to North America. It was released at the beginning of this month. Although the scale is not large, the box office has already exceeded 2 million, which is a very good figure. Through them We can try our best to get all future movies to be released in China at the same time, so as to reduce risks and promote the sales of novels. If we use this girl who is very affectionate to them to write an article, the future situation will be completely different. It's predictable!" Adrian spread his hands here, "That's why I chose her."

Rowling frowned tightly and said nothing, she seemed a little unwilling.

"Don't worry, Joe, some things can be made up for through a series of means such as learning, but some things are brought by yourself." Adrian finally said.

"Okay," Rowling let out a long breath, and chose to compromise, "That's it."

For this person who can be said to have reinvented her, she really couldn't say no to it.

"Soon we will announce the results. You have to be prepared. There will be a lot of reporters flocking here, so I won't live here for the rest of the time. And your previous experiences, the current series of lives It will all be exposed to the media, and I hope you are all prepared." Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Adrian said, sipping coffee after dinner.

"No problem, I'm ready, and Feifei is ready too." Liu Li said with a glowing face, she looked very excited, too, she should imagine in her head that after the news was sent back to China and An's family saw it, An's It's expression.

"Really, Faye?" she said to her daughter sitting on Adrian's lap.

"I have carefully read the resume and talking points that Ms. Lin arranged for me. I will not make mistakes in front of the media. Don't worry, le." Although these words must have been prepared under Liu Li's urging, but Liu Yufei looked very cute and serious.

"Very good, come on." Adrian smiled and squeezed her little chin.

Before that, he asked Lin Xilei to find a team to design various resumes for her, trying to portray her as the little girl next door. There is a professional team to take care of it. In terms of credibility, the things that Liu Li fabricated for her daughter in the previous life are not comparable to the current ones.

"Feifei." Liu Li gave her daughter a look at this moment.

"By the way, le, I saved my pocket money and bought a new dress for me. Can you appreciate it for me?" At the end Liu Yufei's face turned slightly red, even though she was used to sitting in front of her. into the arms of this man, but he is not used to such blatantly giving sexual hints in his words.

"No problem." Adrian was also unambiguous, laughing and picked her up and walked upstairs.

Then, when she walked to the stairs, Liu Li obviously gave Adrian a wink while her daughter was not paying attention. It seemed that tonight was another wheel battle. (To be continued..)
