In the brightly lit villa, the rhythmic dance music floated back and forth, and the noise rose one after another. Men and women enthusiastically crowded together in the hall, holding glasses or bottles of wine in twos and threes, chatting, playing games, dancing, laughing, and so on while drinking. If it wasn't January, there would be many hot girls in bikinis playing in the outdoor outdoor swimming pool.
Even though the weather was cold, there were still colorful lights hanging outside, and many people were walking and chatting outside. Ostentatious, noisy, and lively, this was an American party.
"This is an American party. I hope you don't feel restricted, Emma." Adriaan said to Emma Thompson. Because there were a lot of people around, he had to raise his voice.
"No, not at all." Thompson immediately shook her head, but after being stared at by Adriaan for a few minutes, she smiled bitterly and raised her hand. "Okay, it's a bit noisy."
"If you really don't think it's appropriate, you can …" Adriaan made a gesture and didn't continue.
"Thank you, I will." Thompson nodded.
Although it was nominally to celebrate the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture, it was actually more than that. After all, the films that won Best Motion Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress were all produced by Bosworth. So, except for Anthony Hopkins, who didn't attend the Golden Globes, John Travolta and the others were all on the invitation list. Emma Thompson wanted to decline, but Adriaan kept persuading her.
"Come on, Emma, haven't you been to an American party before? Besides, everyone will be there. It doesn't seem right if you're not there, "he said.
In that case, Thompson had to agree. Of course, she had been to an American party. She didn't like it, but she didn't hate it either. It seemed a bit noisy tonight. Adrian had obviously noticed this as well, which was why he took the time to ask her and tell her what he had said.
Of course, there were more than three, oh, four actors and staff attending the party. There were many other people besides them. For example, the directors of the film company, the actors' agents, and the partners and friends they brought.
"Hi, Eric, how are you feeling?" At this time, Adriaan came to Disneyland's department manager, Eric Cahill, and shook hands with him. At the moment, he was talking to Laffern.
"Hey, Eide, it's a pity that you didn't get the Golden Globe for Best Director." Erik patted him on the arm.
"Thank you, but it doesn't matter. At least we got the Best Movie Plot." Adriaan waved his hand indifferently.
"Of course. You have to know that you have received two nominations. If you still can't get the Best Drama Film Award, the media will definitely question the credibility of the Golden Globes," Eric said respectfully.
This was one of the reasons why the media said that Bosworth Pictures was in the limelight when the nominations for the Golden Globes were announced. It was the first time in the history of the Golden Globes that both "Scent of a Woman" and "Howard Manor" were nominated for Best Motion Picture.
"How could that be? I believe that the judges of the Golden Globes are fair when they choose." Adriaan laughed. He didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the topic and asked, "By the way, what were you talking about just now?"
"Some things about movies," Laffern said. "We were just talking about 'Ghost Horse and Fairies.'"
"I think if Eide has a similar script, we can work together again," Eric said straightforwardly. Although the previous "Ghost Horse and Fairies" only took 120 million in North America, it didn't seem to make much money. However, the overseas box office was more than 200 million. Naturally, Disneyland wanted to continue working hard.
"Really? Speaking of which, there is indeed a script that is very suitable for Disneyland," Adriaan said directly without even declining.
"Really?" Eric immediately revealed a look of surprise.
"Of course." Adriaan nodded. "I found a script in our company's editing department by chance. It's very interesting. According to my judgment, it will be a good movie. However, because I have been busy, I haven't had time to put it into action. It seems to be a good choice to leave it to you now."
"Is it also a family movie?" Eric asked.
"No, it's a little bigger, but it's also suitable for the whole family to watch." Laffern explained, "Simply put, a man was kicked out of his family because of a mistake at work, and his wife took custody of him at the same time. In order to be with his children all the time, he has to disguise himself as a woman to apply for a nanny."
He glanced at Adriaan, and Adriaan smiled back at him.
"That's interesting. It sounds a little like Dustin Hoffman's" My Fair Lady "?" Eric asked with interest. "When can I see the script?"
"I will ask Laffer to arrange it as soon as possible. After all, we have had a good cooperation, and we will continue to have a good cooperation, right?" Adriaan said with a smile.
"Of course, we are the best partners." Since he had taken the initiative to extend his hand in front of him, how could Eric not take it?
"That's it then. You guys continue. I'll take my leave for now." Adriaan nodded and then left.
The movie that was mentioned just now was "My Fair Nanny" starring Robin Williams. According to the original schedule, this movie would be released at the end of 1993, so the shooting time should be quite early. However, now that the script had fallen into Adriaan's hands, he had the final say on when to shoot.
Speaking of which, it was very surprising that this script fell into his hands. When he was filming "Memory Fragments", because of Joe Pantoriano, Adriaan thought of "Kids on the Street", which was a parody of "Home Alone". It seemed that this movie had also received a good box office, but when he wrote one-third of it and gave it to the company's screenwriter and producer, most of them thought that the story was interesting, but it was slightly exaggerated. Too many coincidences would reduce the viewability.
Although Adriaan didn't think much of it, he still carefully searched his memory. Because there were more clues, it didn't take too much time to find something in the corner. Indeed, as they said, this movie had lost a lot of money. This incident also made him a lot more vigilant. In the future, if there were any ideas that suddenly popped up because of certain things, he would definitely think about it before making a decision.
In addition, Adriaan also strengthened the review of the scripts submitted to the editing department. Although he had asked Laffern to pass the submitted scripts to him every week after he acquired Bosworth Pictures, he would basically only look at them once a month. After this incident, the review became once a week. It didn't take much time. A form could be made, and the name and the general content could be written down. If he had any impression of it, he could ask the assistant to read it in detail.
Then, during the first review, Adriaan found the script of "My Fair Nanny". It was a good sign, wasn't it? However, because he had already started the trilogy in 1992, he could only buy it and put it aside. In the end, he put it aside until the end of the year.
Originally, Laffern had planned to let his company produce this movie. He estimated that because there were more indoor scenes, the budget would not be very high. Therefore, when Adriaan told Eric that there was a suitable script, he would give him a look.
However, Adriaan didn't take it to heart. There were many movies that could make money, and there was no need to limit it to this one. Now, he needed to make some ideas about Disneyland, so it was not a big deal to let them handle it. Anyway, as a partner, it wasn't like Bosworth Pictures couldn't invest, so they would have the same say.
The fiery party continued, and the living room and the outer courtyard were basically full of people. However, although it was lively, if one wasn't careful, there would be some accidents, such as —
"Be careful!" Adriaan, who was at the staircase, rushed forward and hugged the girl who had fallen because she had sprained her ankle. Although he grabbed the girl, he couldn't maintain his balance and took a few steps back. His back hit the wall and made a soft sound before he stopped.
"It's okay, it's okay here." Although there was some pain in his back, he still squeezed out a smile to the people around him.
"Sarah, how are you?" Roslan hurried down the stairs and reached out to take her daughter from Adriaan's arms.
"Wait, Roslan!" Adriaan stopped her. "Sarah doesn't seem to be okay."
In his arms, Sarah Michelle Gellar's face was a little pale, and her whole body leaned on him as if she couldn't stand steadily.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? "Roslan said in a panic, a little lost.
"Don't worry, Sarah may have sprained her ankle." Adriaan said as he carried Sarah and strode upstairs. "I'll send her to her room. Please go find Kate. Roslan, ask her to bring a first-aid kit to Room 16."
He walked up to the second floor and quickly came to Room 16. After opening the door, he was about to put Sarah down when Adriaan realized that she had wrapped her arms around his neck and was staring at him blankly.
"Sarah?" He tried to call out.
Sarah's body trembled slightly, and then she immediately reacted and struggled to get up. "I … I'm sorry, I just …"
"Alright, don't talk. Sit down and let me take a look." Adriaan didn't say much. He gently put her on the chair, then squatted down to lift her sprained leg and put it in his arms. Then he took off her shoes and socks.
"Eide … I … I …" The girl cried, a little bewildered.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Adriaan didn't seem to hear anything. He grabbed her leg and carefully observed the ankle. After a few minutes, he looked up and smiled. "Alright, it's just a little red. Fortunately, it's not a big problem. You can continue walking after a little rest."
"Um … Ah … Thank you!" Sarah lowered her head in embarrassment, as if she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
