In the slightly empty lobby of the hotel, the old actor quietly watched everything in front of him. Occasionally, someone would walk past him in a language he didn't understand. His eyes were filled with confusion and sadness. He was alone, and the feeling of being lost in a foreign country was naturally highlighted.
“Good！” The female director clapped her hands and gave the old actor a thumbs up. He remained in the same position for a few seconds after hearing the voice. Then, she began to hurriedly shout, urging the staff, "Hurry up, everyone! There are still two more scenes to shoot, don't waste time!"
As she said that, she hurriedly found the female lead who was happily chatting with a man and shouted in dissatisfaction, "What did I tell you before, Eide! Don't harass my female lead, okay? I need her to maintain her form! "
"Don't be nervous, Sophie." Adriaan laughed. "You're underestimating Scarlett too much. Just give her a few minutes to adjust, and she'll be in form immediately, isn't that right?"
This last sentence was for Scarlett, but unfortunately, the young girl who had been chatting with him just now didn't reply. She only pursed her lips and looked at him with a playful smile. Before Adriaan could react, Sofia's grumbling voice rang out. "Yes, yes, the Scarlett you recommended is very outstanding, and I know she's outstanding, but I need time now, understand? The hotel owner only agreed to let us stay for one afternoon, and we have to leave at six o 'clock. The Japanese are very strict with this kind of time, and we can't exceed it even by a little. I really don't have extra time for Scarlett to prepare, you understand … "
Before she could finish, the surrounding lights suddenly went out. Sofia was stunned for a moment, then she screamed and ran back. "Brian Brian! Was there a problem with the scene just now? Was there a problem?! "
"No, Ms. Coppola, I started preparing after the time was up." The cameraman's voice quickly came over, making Sofia feel more at ease.
"What happened?" Adriaan, who had rushed over, asked in confusion.
"Just like Sophie said, the time was over, and the Japanese pulled the switch," answered Scarlett.
"Pulled the switch? How did this happen? " Adriaan frowned. "If you exceed the time, you can pay more. It shouldn't be long anyway."
"Sophie said the same thing, but the Japanese don't care about these things." Scarlet shrugged helplessly. It seemed that her impression of Japan wasn't very good.
Sofia sighed after confirming that there were no problems with the photos she had taken earlier due to the sudden power outage. She then hurriedly walked out, with Adriaan and Scarlet following behind her. Soon, Sofia and the translator found a skinny woman who was about 60 to 65 years old. She was short and had a straight face. No matter what the translator said to her, she kept shaking her head.
After communication failed, Sofia held her forehead for a long time before Adriaan walked over and asked, "She's not willing to extend the time?"
"What else could it be?" Sofia sighed and waved her hand anxiously. "No matter what, she's not willing. She can't wait to drive us away as if we are the plague."
Adriaan wanted to say something, but after a few seconds of hesitation, he just put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't mind it, Sophie. Don't punish yourself with other people's stupidity. You've done very well."
Before Sofia came to Tokyo, Adriaan had told her that if necessary, she could ask AC Media's Tokyo office for help. But according to the information he had received, Sofia had made very few requests. Just like the script for "Lost in Tokyo", she had basically completed it herself. It was only at the end that she came to seek help from Adriaan. After all, she had her own pride.
So, Adriaan didn't mention this for the time being. He just comforted Sofia with kind words.
"Damn it, there's only one scene left. After it's done, we can leave this damn hotel." Sofia was still a little angry. "But we're stuck here, and we have to do it again tomorrow … It's a waste of time … It's all because of you, Eide! If you had been a little faster, I wouldn't be in such a dilemma now. "
In the end, she couldn't help but get angry at Adriaan. She raised her hands and hit him. Of course, Adriaan didn't care. This kind of anger was normal, so he just grabbed Sofia's hand and continued to comfort her. "Okay, it's my fault. I apologize. I promise it won't happen again, okay?"
Sofia, who couldn't pull her hand away after a few attempts, finally controlled her emotions. She looked around. The assistant director, the director's assistant, and the cameraman were all looking at her in surprise, including the male lead, Bill Murray. It was probably because he had never seen the female director like this. Of course, when the female director looked over, they immediately looked away and began to talk, as if they had done nothing. This made Sofia feel awkward.
As for Si Jiali, who was standing next to Adriaan, she stuck out her tongue and shrugged.
"Since it's already like this, don't think too much about it, Sophie." With a warning look, Adriaan said very patiently, "It's inevitable that some things happen when you're directing. It's normal. There's no need to be angry about this kind of thing."
"That's easy for you to say. Someone was urging me to take this film to the Cannes Film Festival in May." Sofia was still a little unhappy.
I also said that it's best to start shooting in December. Of course, he couldn't really say this out loud, so he just laughed and waved his hands. "Don't worry, if it's delayed here, you can find it somewhere else. I believe it's not difficult for you, right? As a director, you're really outstanding. "
Sofia didn't say anything else, she just sighed.
"How about this, I've booked a table at the best western restaurant in Tokyo tonight, and I plan to invite Si Jiali to dinner. Why don't you come with us?" When Adriaan said this, his eyes flashed.
Sofia's mood was probably messed up by today's events, so she didn't think too much about it and casually agreed. Si Jiali, who hadn't interjected from the beginning to the end, gave Adriaan a meaningful look when he walked in front of her. Adriaan smiled and didn't say anything, but when no one was paying attention, he knocked her on her little butt, which made her roll her eyes again.
Don't think it's easy. If you can't convince me, don't even think about it. The meaning in Si Jiali's eyes was very clear to Adriaan. As expected of a girl who did things her own way, with a strong personality. Fortunately, he had acted early, and his luck was not bad. He had grasped the key point, otherwise, it would have taken him a lot of effort to grasp it in his hands. As for her hint just now, hehe, was it difficult for him?
Tokyo, Ginza, Florence Restaurant. Just from the name, one could tell that it was an Italian restaurant, and the interior design was also typical of the Mediterranean style. Of course, the taste was really good. At least when Adriaan tasted it, he really liked their tomato sauce sea bass. After all, to be able to open a restaurant in a place like Ginza where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, it was impossible not to put in some effort.
"Many men are like this. Even though they pretend to be magnanimous on the surface, they don't care about women in their hearts. This is just a variant of male chauvinism." A man and two women chatted as they enjoyed the delicacies. After talking about movies and Japan's customs, Sophia suddenly started talking about matters between men and women. After a few sentences, she jumped to the topic of men's rights and women's rights.
Sofia was not a fool. At that time, she did not care and agreed, but it did not mean that she would not realize it. It was not like she did not know Adriaan's nature. However, since she had agreed, it was not good to go back on her words immediately, so she came up with such a trick. Once they started talking, Si Jiali also echoed her and added oil to the fire.
But Adriaan did not seem to take it seriously. He just put on a sincere look and kept nodding, as if he was on their side.
"Indeed, what Sophie said is the truth, but —" he smiled slyly, "I am not that kind of person. In a sense, I am a feminist."
"You mean, you are a playboy feminist, or are all playboys feminists?" Sofia showed a look of interest, but her words were a little impolite.
But whether it was Adriaan, Sofia, or Si Jiali, they did not think there was any problem. First, Adriaan had always had a good reputation for treating women, and he would never be angry because of this little offense. Second, because of Sofia's success as a director, she was constantly moving closer to feminism — fortunately, she was not an extreme feminist — so it was normal for her to ask such a question.
Adriaan did not directly answer, but continued to say, "I once read a science fiction novel. In the future, the world belongs to women. Men will either disappear or be imprisoned as a species for research. So I am not surprised that the future is really like that. In some ways, women are indeed better than men. So, any job that men can do, women can also do, needless to say, director, producer, manager, CEO, chief of staff, defense minister, and even president, these can also be done by women. "
Speaking of this, he spread out his hands, "Whether they can do it or not, it is a matter of attitude, and whether they can do it well or not, it is a matter of ability. These two concepts are not necessarily connected — as long as they are willing to be responsible for the results."
"That is to say, men can have a lot of women at the same time, and women can have a lot of men at the same time?" Si Jiali, who was wearing a bright red spaghetti strap low-cut skirt and squeezed a deep cleavage in front of her chest, suddenly asked with bad intentions. At the same time, she exchanged a tacit look with Sofia with a grin.
"This is what I want to talk about alone." Adriaan replied calmly, "There is not much difference between the ability of women and men, except for one thing."
He paused and looked at Sofia and Si Jiali with interest and even a little rudely invasive, "In bed, it is always …"
"Me." He pointed to himself.
"Enter your body." He then pointed to Sofia, but his eyes glanced at Si Jiali. Obviously, the "your" was a plural.
The two women suddenly became a little uncomfortable, and their faces were a little red. Sofia even picked up the glass and took a big sip of red wine. Her chest kept rising and falling, and then she stared at Adriaan with a red face. Si Jiali was a little better. She took a small sip of red wine, pursed her lips, and looked elsewhere before adjusting her emotions. She also stared at Adriaan fiercely.
"This is a fact, an unchangeable fact." Adriaan looked at them and said leisurely, "No matter what position you are in, whether you are facing away from me or facing me, whether you are below or above me, it is the same. Even if you tie me to the bed and make me unable to move, it is still the same. "
"That is not necessarily true. There are countless sex shops in Japan." Although Adriaan did have the suspicion of secretly changing the concept just now, Si Jiali was purely bickering.
Therefore, Adriaan just smiled and said, "The premise of what we are talking about is that the man and the woman are on the bed, not a substitute on the bed. And even if it is a substitute, it still can't change the fact that it has been entered."
"I can totally say that I have swallowed you." At this time, Sofia was not to be outdone and retorted.
"But you still have to spit it out in the end." Adriaan raised his chin slightly and said with a smile, as if this was a very elegant topic, "This is like a siege in the Middle Ages. The defending party can use various methods to control the attacking party's attack time, attack strength, and attack methods, such as attacking logistics or carrying out political activities in their rear, but the decision whether to launch an attack or not is always in the hands of the attacking party. Once the attacking party breaks into the city, the defending party can at most drive them out, let them … leave more blood in the city. "
Speaking of the last sentence, Adriaan showed an ambiguous smile. The last sentence meant not much, so the two women's faces turned even redder.
"This is the biggest difference between men and women, and it is this biggest difference that has created the current society. No matter how much power women have fought for, it is still a male-dominated society." Adriaan comfortably took a sip of red wine and said, "Therefore, many female film critics in some violent erotic films, the scene of women cutting off men's parts is very popular, thinking that it symbolizes the complete resistance to male power. Unfortunately, this is not the relationship between the sword and the shield, but the relationship between the sword and the scabbard. "
Sofia's throat gently moved, looking left and right, absent-minded, and even unconsciously rubbed her neck with her fingers. Si Jiali opened her eyes wide and looked at Adriaan without blinking, her eyes slightly revealing a light of excitement. Obviously, under his unscrupulous way of using words to violate them in public, they had some chemical reactions.
Therefore, after having dinner and strolling around the streets to admire the night view of Tokyo, the naked Scarlet was panting heavily on top of the equally naked Sophia in Adrian's suite. The two women were hugging each other, passionately kissing each other while enduring Adrian's attacks from behind. It was very normal for them to do so.
With Si Jiali's character, she had long wanted to try this kind of thing. During dinner, she cooperated with Sofia just to show a little temper and teach Adriaan a lesson. As for Sofia, she had been running around various film sets with her father for many years. After that, she had been in the entertainment circle for a long time as an actress, so she understood this kind of thing. Therefore, even though she showed a certain amount of resistance, she was still brought back by the unyielding Adriaan. In bed, she was even pressed down by Si Jiali, who was much younger than her.
On the first day they arrived in Tokyo, the tone was set, and after that, there was no more suspense. Adriaan basically stayed with the two of them every day, and did not avoid it at all, which made the crew of "Lost in Tokyo" extremely depressed. It would be fine if you slept with the female director or the female lead, or even if you slept with the female director and the female lead, but you slept with the female director and the female lead every day … What is this?!
Although Adrian, Sophia, and Scarlet did not appear to be very close to each other on the set, it was clear that they would appear and leave together every day. People's imagination and imagination were very strong, not to mention that their imagination and imagination were very close to the truth. Unfortunately, there were a few men in the crew who wanted to pursue Si Jiali, but because of this, they all gave up on their plans. Who could compete with Adriaan?
"The charm of the miracle director is really incomparable." Bill Murray could not help but tease Adriaan when they were chatting.
"Thank you." Adriaan accepted it with a smile, without the slightest hint of modesty.
In short, during this period of time, he had a threesome with Sofia and Si Jiali every day. The three of them had played all kinds of tricks that could be played. Although Sofia was somewhat resistant to some of the tricks, she would always succumb to Adriaan's "despotic power." Of course, Si Jiali was also one of the reasons for this. The only regret was that her chest was not as full as Si Jiali's, and some of the fun was not so good.
"You are a bad guy, a bad guy who specializes in playing with women." When Si Jiali was alone with Adriaan, she always said this in a reproachful tone. It seemed that she was really a little unhappy, but in fact, she was just acting coquettishly.
The words that night were more targeted at Si Jiali. Now it seemed that the effect was good, so Si Jiali also received a reward. When the three of them were taking a bath together, she was held down by Adriaan, allowing Sofia to have a good revenge. Who asked her to bully Sofia, who was much older than her before?
Of course, Adriaan's mind was not completely on the bed. He actively helped to contact the location and location needed by the crew. With his help, it was equivalent to the help of AC Media's Tokyo office. In this regard, the crew suddenly improved a lot of efficiency. If this continued, they might be able to finish filming at the end of the month.
"You see, reasonable use of advantages can improve the efficiency of filming. This does not conflict with completing a work independently. Don't tell me your father has never asked someone to help him contact the location?" Adriaan comforted Sofia.
In fact, Sofia also knew this, but there was a deeper reason why she was not willing to do this before. And Adriaan also knew this, so he never criticized the filming. Even if Sofia was really uncertain and came to ask him for advice, he just kindly encouraged her.
