"What kind of movie is it? Can you tell me? I promise I won't tell the media. " Sitting on the bench in Manhattan Central Park, Natalie asked Adriaan with a smile.
"Um … Okay, it's okay to tell you, but remember to keep it a secret," Adriaan thought for a moment and said, "It's Stanley Kubrick's movie."
Natalie blinked in surprise, "… Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly, or did you make a mistake? Eide, I'm asking about your new movie, not someone else's."
"Ha, I always thought you were smart, Nada. I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Adriaan laughed.
"Hey, it's not a gentleman's behavior to play a trick on a young girl." Natalie waved her fist and said.
"Okay, okay." Adriaan said with his hands raised in surrender, "You should know who Stanley Kubrick is."
"Of course, one of the best film directors in the world. He doesn't have many works, but he has a variety of themes. Someone once said that when he makes a movie with a certain theme, other directors can put down their guides."
"Then have you seen the news recently? Kubrick is paralyzed in bed because of a stroke."
"Really? I don't know, I rarely watch entertainment news. Oh, that's terrible. "
"He happened to be preparing a new movie, and it was almost over. Unfortunately, he had a stroke at this time, so he couldn't continue. And I, after getting his permission … "Adriaan's mouth curled up, revealing a proud smile," Ready to take over the production of this movie. "
"Kubrick agreed to let you take over?" Natalie's eyes widened, "I heard … heard … heard that he is … a very stubborn person."
"Yes, but I still convinced him." Adriaan shrugged.
"That's incredible." Natalie looked him up and down with a look of surprise, "Can you really grasp Kubrick's style?"
"He has agreed." Adriaan shrugged again, then said, "But remember not to disclose it, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
"What's the problem?" Natalie asked, puzzled.
"Kubrick doesn't want people to know that I took over his work, and we have an agreement between each other. If the film doesn't satisfy him, it won't be released." Adriaan explained, "Otherwise, Warner would have started to publicize it. It's a big gimmick that Adriaan was allowed to take over Kubrick's new movie."
"That's true. Movie companies or producers always like to use all kinds of means to promote their products," Natalie said with a nod. Her indignant look made her look exceptionally adorable.
"Hey, Nada, I'm also a producer to a certain extent."
"You're not like them." Natalie waved her hand. "You're Adrian."
"Oh? It's an honor to be treated differently by you. "Adriaan said exaggeratedly, reaching out and rubbing her head.
Natalie pursed her lips and deliberately looked at him with disdain. Adriaan looked back at her with a smile. After looking at each other for a long time, a burst of embarrassment suddenly welled up in the girl's heart. She couldn't help but turn her head, her face slightly red.
"So." She coughed and changed the topic. "The main reason you came to New York this time is to look for the location of the new movie?"
"Yes." Adriaan nodded. "Originally, I wanted to find someone familiar here to help me find a suitable location, such as you or your parents. Fortunately, a girl I know happened to be going back to New York with her mother for a vacation. She volunteered to find a few places for me, and it's not bad."
"A girl you know?" Although Natalie said casually, her hands on her knees involuntarily clenched into fists.
"Yes, I remember you seem to have met Kirsten Dunst." Adriaan still looked like he had nothing to hide.
"Oh, the Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars last year." Natalie showed a look of sudden realization, but then she felt that she was a little too deliberate. She then added, "Yes, I remember I saw her in New York when we were filming 'This Assassin Is Not Too Cold'. She seemed to have participated in the audition at that time?"
"You have a good memory, dear Nada." Adriaan laughed, but immediately revealed a distressed look. "I have to say, smart girls are too clever. They always like to play tricks on people, regardless of the time and place."
"Is that so?" Natalie's tone was still very casual, and her eyes were also looking into the distance, but the root of her teeth was already gently clenched together.
"Okay, Nada, it's almost time. It's time to send you back." Adriaan suddenly said so. "You have to know that my behavior today is already colluding with you to deceive your parents."
"How can that be?" Natalie, who came back to her senses, shrugged. "I just told my parents that I can hitch a ride with you to the city to see my friend, but I changed my mind halfway and wanted to walk around the city like last time."
"You know, this is an excuse, Nada." Adriaan looked at her gently. "Although I don't mind doing something for you, although I come to see you every time I come to New York, although I like you very much, it doesn't mean that I can cooperate with you to deceive your parents. This is wrong."
Natalie's face first turned red, and then she frowned and looked at him a little angrily.
"Why have you become like my father?" She asked unhappily. "You always say this is not good, that is not good, I am not a child, I have enough judgment."
With that, the girl jumped off the bench. "I am usually well-behaved enough, but can't you even tolerate this little bit of rebellion? Also, allow me to remind you, Mr. Adriaan, no matter how dignified you are, your behavior has already constituted the fact that you are cooperating with me to deceive my parents! "
After that, she let out a loud snort and walked to the skating rink not far away. Adriaan laughed and spread his hands, then got up and followed her.
"Okay, Nada, I just reminded you a little, you don't have to do this to me, right? I am not Mr. Evner, "he said half-jokingly and half-complaining.
Natalie did not answer, but she turned her head and made a face, still looking angry.
"Then let's talk about something else. There is still some time, anyway." Adriaan then said, "I can continue to accompany you."
"Really? Then tell me what the new movie you took over is like. "Natalie asked after thinking about it.
"Ha, strictly speaking, it is a pornographic movie. It is not suitable for a girl like you to watch. Let's change the topic." Adriaan shook his head and refused.
"In short, you still treat me like a child." Natalie spread her hands and looked at him mockingly. "Oh, Eide, what I said just now is useless."
"I am serious, Nada." Adriaan suddenly became serious. "I admit that you are smart and precocious, Nada, but some things are still too early for you. I have already warned you in the last letter."
"But we had a good chat in the letter, didn't we?" Natalie immediately retorted.
"Because it was a letter. Writing a letter is not the same as chatting. Face-to-face conversations are often influenced by emotions, but writing a letter is more rational. This is why I always ask you to indicate in the letter which book and which page the quote comes from," Adriaan said.
"… This really made me develop a good habit of looking up books." After a moment of silence, Natalie looked into the distance with a look of reminiscence in her eyes. "I still remember I asked you in the letter about the discussion of desire."
"You need to know how to release and how to control." Adriaan quickly replied, "Whether it is abstinence or indulgence, they are both stupid. Don't hesitate when you need to release, and don't cross the bottom line when you need to control. Understand how big your desire is and how strong your ability is. This is a necessary lesson for every successful person."
"What about you? What is your desire? How big is it? " Natalie suddenly turned her head and looked at Adriaan with a smile. "Don't tell me you are not a successful person."
"I think I don't need to answer these more private questions, right?" Adriaan replied in a joking tone, but there was a slight change in his eyes. His eyes stayed on the girl's face for about two seconds, and then he quickly looked elsewhere.
The girl suddenly turned her head away as if she had been electrocuted, and her heartbeat sped up.
"Sorry, I have to go to the restroom. Please wait for me here." Without waiting for Adriaan to answer, Natalie quickly ran to the restroom at the other end of the skating rink.
Peng, closing the door, the young girl immediately leaned against the wall and held her face as she let out a long sigh. Then, she let out a long moan.
"Oh, hell, Natalie, what are you doing? Is your brain fried?! "She said to herself in a low voice. Her voice was unusually stern, but it immediately became weak.
Yesterday, after school, she went to her mother's gallery in Brooklyn and came out just in time to see some disturbing scenes. At the end of the street, a girl about the same age as her wrapped her arms around Adriaan's neck and kissed him hard on the face.
At first, she thought she was seeing things, but after careful observation, she confirmed that the girl hugging and kissing him was Kirsten. Then, an inexplicable feeling of annoyance and unhappiness rose in her heart.
Although Adriaan looked like he was being teased, and Kirsten seemed to be just joking, Natalie was still swayed by this feeling and didn't go up to say hello.
This feeling became more and more intense after she returned home. The scenes of her peeping that had been forgotten in the corner of her mind kept appearing in her mind again. As a result, the situation that rarely occurred when she slept at night came again. In the end, she had no choice but to get up in a daze and change her underwear with a blushing face.
