Julia couldn't accept it. She'd known Adriaan for a long time. Even though he was just a new director who'd just entered the entertainment industry, he was already very domineering. Julia would always remember how he'd kissed her that night. She also remembered the ambiguous relationship between the two of them, which he'd gradually grasped in the palm of his hand. From the craziness in Santa Monica's villa to the threesome in Orange County, she remembered everything clearly.
Adriaan only had one girlfriend back then, and they'd broken up not long after. Although she'd returned to his side soon after, she could be said to be one of the closest women to him back then. However, out of so many women around him, why did it have to be Kate Blanchett from Australia who became the first female lead to win an Oscar?!
Looking at the tall Ayers Rock, Julia couldn't help but sigh. When she turned around again, Adriaan was playing with little Emma.
"Look here, Emma, then give me a funny expression. Oh yes, remember to be fast. Let's see if I can capture you," Adriaan shouted as he raised the camera and pointed it at the little one.
"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!" Little Emma was overjoyed as she jumped up and down. She stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and squeezed her face with her hands as the shutter clicked.
"Ha, I got it. Look, you're funny like this." Adriaan said as he passed the screen of the camera to little Emma. The little one giggled and said, "Oh my, so ugly."
Julia couldn't help but smile. This guy wasn't just popular with women, he was also popular with children. Emma often talked about everything about him in her ears. This wasn't bad, at least it made up for Emma's regret of not having a father … Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get distracted. The word 'child' kept echoing in her heart.
She knew about Monica's pregnancy. She also knew that Monica wanted a child. Although they hadn't played together in recent years, they still had some contact with each other, unlike the other women who were directly ignored by Julia. Adriaan said that Kate Becky Kinsey's pregnancy was an accident. Alright, she believed him for the time being, but what about now? Was he …
At this thought, Julia suddenly trembled. She looked at Adriaan, who was still playing with little Emma, and an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart. Since when was there only profit left between them?
"What's bothering you, baby?" After a good workout on the hotel suite's bed, Adrian hugged Julia and gently caressed her body as he whispered in her ear.
"… Do I look like I have something on my mind?" Julia said in a lazy tone after she caught her breath.
"You can't fool me, Julie. I know your body very well." Adriaan chuckled as he turned over and pressed her down beside him. "Your heartbeat, your breathing, your body temperature, your everything! Especially when we're in bed. "
"Is that so? Then tell me what's bothering me. "Julia turned her head to the side.
Adriaan chuckled again. He leaned over and whispered in her ear in a strange tone, "Don't think that I don't know what you did in Notting Hill. You fell in love with the bookstore owner, William Sack, right? You actually dared to bring him to me. Anna, I think it's necessary to teach you a lesson! "
"What are you talking about …" Julia turned her head, confused. She frowned and stopped after saying one sentence. She then looked at Adriaan with a strange, annoyed, and amused gaze.
"Am I wrong?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows and laughed. "You have to pay for lying to me, Anna!"
The name "Anna" was called even louder. Now that she was sure that it was true, Julia immediately swung her fist and wanted to punch him, but her hands were immediately grabbed by the man who was pressing down on her.
"Stop struggling. I told you, I know everything about you." Adriaan was still acting.
"The movie won't be released until the end of the year, so before that, everything you said is invalid." Julia looked at him and snorted.
"So what?" Adriaan shrugged, and his lower body shrugged as well, which made Julia gasp. "You and I both know that this is the truth, and it can't be changed. It's like this is the last installment of your love quintet, or the first actress to enter the 20 million club."
Julia glared at him hatefully, then burst into laughter. Then, she froze for a moment, and her gaze became unreadable as if she had thought of something.
"Everyone knows that you can get as much as you want." Her voice was a little low. "Even without me, there will be other actresses who enter the 2000 club."
"After the movie is released, everyone will know that you deserve to be paid 20 million yuan. Only you are qualified to do so." Adriaan laughed and lowered his head to kiss her collarbone. "Don't think that it's easy, Julie. Without enough popularity and commercial value, no one will pay an actress so much. Even I can't break the rules, can I? The most important thing is your charm. I just gave you a little push, and I dare say that even after the millennium, there will be very few actresses who can enter this club. "
Julia was silent for a moment, and then she put on a charming smile. She clamped her legs under the blanket around Adriaan's waist and hummed softly, "You said so much just to coax me to continue. Then let's continue. Although you have great endurance, don't expect me to give up easily."
"Really?" Adriaan smiled and reached out to lift her leg. "But I have a better suggestion. How about we play something more interesting?"
"Something more interesting?" Julia raised her eyebrows. "Don't tell me you want to …"
"No, no, no. My suggestion is …" Adriaan moved closer to her ear and whispered something. Julia's expression suddenly became strange.
"You're joking!" She wanted to laugh but was also a little surprised.
"Try it," Adriaan coaxed.
"Okay, okay." Julia sighed. "Um … Sorry, dear. I didn't mean to lie to you …"
"Oh, Julie, you're being perfunctory. You have to put in more effort."
"Put in more effort? Alright, let's do it again. Sorry … "
"No, still no. You have to figure out the role like how you usually do."
For an actor, especially a very good one, it was almost an instinct to carefully figure out the role. What Adriaan needed to do was to let his women treat role-playing as a real performance, not just a game. Then, naturally, they would start to enter the step of self-suggestion. This was well demonstrated by Gwyneth, Blanchett, and Liv.
Adriaan had tried it with Julia a few times before, but they were all small things. But this time, he seized the opportunity. As one of the first few women who had a relationship with him, even if he couldn't guess all of Julia's thoughts, he could roughly guess what she was thinking. That was why he mentioned "Notting Hill" and the 20 million club when both of them were in a relaxed state after the exercise. Of course, he also casually guided Julia to completely immerse herself in it.
Needless to say, the effect was obvious. Julia knelt on the bed and used her hands to support her body. She shook her hips to cater to him while saying "sorry" and "please forgive me" in a tearful voice. This greatly increased Adriaan's "sex".
Julia and little Emma didn't stay in the southern hemisphere for too long. One reason was that they were on vacation, and the other was that the reporters came to them. Although the magazine under AC Media didn't explicitly say that "The Lord of the Rings" would be filmed in New Zealand, there were only a few places in the southern hemisphere. It was impossible for Adriaan to go to Fiji or Tonga for a few months. There were so many people in the crew, and not everyone could keep a secret. He would find out sooner or later if he asked around.
But, after all, it was south of the Pacific Ocean. It wasn't as convenient as Europe or North America, so there weren't many reporters. Even so, after Julia left, no other women came for the time being. Before this, they could come one after another. Of course, it was because Adriaan was more cautious, and he didn't want to provoke the men in the crew.
He completely believed that the actors and staff would keep their mouths shut about this matter. After all, Adriaan wasn't an ordinary producer or director. But if they were stirred up into a gossip topic, and the reporters heard it, it would be too depressing.
Even so, Adriaan wasn't too worried. It was interesting to say that the women around him were not the famous "big-mouthed beauty" Julia, the beautiful female secretary, the three female leads in "The Lord of the Rings", or Kate with her child. Instead, it was the quiet and gentle Yuki Nakama.
This wasn't just because she was Asian. Don't forget that after Yuki Hui left, Lin Zhiling came back immediately, but the staff almost forgot about her. Of course, Lin Zhiling's main focus was on pleasing Adriaan, and she didn't have much in common with the others. It was also because of the two different faces that Yuki Hui showed.
Normally, Yukihui was very gentle and quiet. She treated everyone very well and always maintained her politeness. However, once she started playing the game, she would quickly start shouting and become very cheerful. The environment in the United States was completely different from that in Japan. Therefore, when Yuki Hui was not running errands, other than serving Adrian, she would play games and read comics. She had played all the games produced by the major gaming companies. She had even played the various ball games that Americans loved the most. Her gaming skills were quite high.
When Adriaan left Los Angeles, he asked her to bring a game console when she came to New Zealand. So, in just a few days in Queenstown, almost no man could be Yuki Hui's opponent in the game, not even Adriaan. Even if he lost, he would wantonly "humiliate" her at night, but he still couldn't make the petite lady give in. Of course, it was more likely that she did it on purpose.
All the men in the crew, regardless of whether they knew how to play games or not, took turns to play, but they were still beaten to a pulp. Naturally, Yuki Hui left a deep impression on them.
Alright, back to the topic. From this, it could be seen that even though they were interested in Adrian's luck with women, they didn't really care about it. Anyone who reached Adrian's position and had the same ability as him would have countless women by his side.
This situation didn't last for too long, as the reporters couldn't stay in New Zealand for too long. Then, just as they finished leaving, another miracle girl came to New Zealand. Regarding this, the men in the crew were already numb. Who asked him to be a miracle director? Who asked him to be a media mogul? Who asked him to be a playboy?
Similarly, they were also numb to the fact that Adriaan and the miracle girl had to leave New Zealand to return to Los Angeles to participate in activities. From the start of filming until now, he had to leave every month. It had almost become a routine. Anyway, as long as the filming could be completed on time, it would be fine. If he stayed for a few months, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, he would get tired of it.
Adriaan didn't have any good ideas himself. He really wanted "Lord of the Rings" to stop filming as soon as possible, but that wasn't the only thing he had to ask about. Also, he couldn't leave the company alone. Besides, in the next two months, the southern hemisphere would only get colder, and the time for outdoor filming would be further shortened. So, it was fine to leave once a month.
This time, he returned to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of a movie. Because "Star Wars Episode I" was released at the end of May, all the major film companies had selectively delayed the films that they had invested in and produced, which had good commercial prospects. This added a lot of pressure to the films produced by the film companies under AC Media. Although Adriaan was very confident, and he had long known about the release date of "Star Wars Episode I", so he had arranged the release dates of his films to compete for the summer holiday slot. However, for the sake of maximizing profits, he still delayed it by a few days, and finally arranged it to be released at the end of June.
"I can't wait to watch your performance on the big screen, Sean." On the red carpet, Adriaan extended his hand to Sean Connery. The sound of shutters around them kept ringing. The reporters took pictures of Connery and Adriaan from all angles. At the same time, there was also the glamorous girl next to Adriaan.
"Why? Didn't you see it during the test screening? When you sent the invitation, you said that you would carefully supervise the completion." The old man asked half-jokingly.
"I didn't see it during the test screening. You know, I was in New Zealand and didn't have much time. However, I saw a lot of it during the post-production, so I'm looking forward to the official release, "Adriaan said with a smile.
"I'm also looking forward to it now." Connery laughed, then turned to Zeta Jones, who was holding his arm. "I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become more beautiful, Kate."
"You too, Sean." Zeta Jones smiled and shook hands with him. Her black strapless low-cut evening dress made her sexy, especially her proud and upright chest. The curve was very attractive. Coupled with the deep cleavage in the middle, it was unknown how many men's eyes were attracted and how many reporters' films were killed.
"Do you mean I'm older or more handsome?" Connery asked immediately.
"Both. According to Eide, the older you are, the more handsome you are." Zeta Jones said with a smile. Her hand holding Adriaan's arm suddenly tightened, looking very intimate.
"Thank you." Connery laughed, then winked at Adriaan. "I have to say, Eide, you two look very compatible now."
"I think so, too." Adriaan shrugged and turned to give Zeta Jones a smile. He patted her hand gently, and Zeta Jones returned a more charming smile.
The three talked a little more and answered a few questions from the reporters. They were still entangled in the shooting of "The Lord of the Rings". Even if they knew that they could not get an answer in such a place, they were entertainment reporters. As for the ambiguous relationship between Adriaan and Zeta Jones, so many photos were enough. A picture was worth a thousand words.
"You are still so popular, Kate." After entering the theater and finding his seat, Adriaan said to the girl next to him in a teasing tone, "Both Bond's are saying good things about you."
Sean Connery was naturally one of the two Bond's, and the other was naturally the current James Bond, Pierce Brosnan. The reason why Brosnan appeared here, at the premiere of "The Sky Thief Trap", was that in the latest 007 series, "Black Sun Crisis", which had just been filmed, Zeta Jones played the role of the daughter of an oil tycoon.
This role should have been given to Sophie, but unfortunately, Sophie was pregnant when she was considering it. Naturally, she could not play the role that could make her beauty shine again. In fact, it did not matter if she missed it. In Adriaan's plan, Sophie's beauty would be counterproductive if she showed too much of her beauty in Hollywood. He had already prepared a movie for her, and after she gave birth and regained her figure, he could start producing it. It did not matter if "Black Sun Crisis" was there or not.
However, in any case, "Black Sun Crisis" was a relatively outstanding work in 007. If he could give a good role to his woman, he would try his best to give it to his woman. Hence, he recommended Zeta Jones. Because he was not familiar with the producer of the 007 series, and his relationship with MGM was not very good, he had to ask her out, share breakfast, exercise, and have some afternoon tea.
Of course, that was all. Today, Adriaan's identity and status were high enough, and he had countless bargaining chips in his hands. Moreover, the heroine of the 007 series had always been a pretty face, so it would not be a problem for anyone else to play the role. Hence, it was decided. As mentioned before, Zeta Jones could easily win the favor of others and let others speak for her. Brosnan was no exception. In the front hall, he also praised Adriaan and her as a good match, just like Connelly.
"Of course, to be an actress, you need to be popular." Zeta Jones said with a smile, "Do you think I should be a woman that everyone hates?"
"Of course not. I'm just worried that someone might snatch you away one day. That wouldn't be good." Adrian shrugged.
Zeta Jones' eyes suddenly lit up. Although this was not the answer she wanted the most, there was no doubt that she was one step closer. Although Adriaan's statement was still a bit ambiguous, wasn't this the reason why she flattered him and submitted to him?!
