Although there was still a week before the filming of "Killing Moment" officially started, Kate was not forced to report at that time. So, she still had a lot of time to prepare, such as how to arrange her daughter. Lily was definitely not suitable to be on the set all day, but at the same time, she could not stay by Adriaan's side all day either. How to arrange her time became very important.
Fortunately, the little girl was not unfamiliar with nannies. In addition, Charlize would visit Kate's house from time to time, and he was very popular with the little girl. Basically, there was no need to worry too much. So, Kate could devote herself to filming as much as she wanted.
Calculating the time, she had not appeared in front of the public for almost a year. In addition, the previous few works were not very eye-catching. Even if "Tornado" had a high box office, it would still be forgotten after a long time. But it did not matter. With Adriaan around, and the initial formation of the media group in his hands, it would not be difficult to make Kate attract attention again.
Besides, Adriaan had prepared a lot of movies for her. Originally, he wanted to arrange a more interesting role for her, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there were too many similar roles for Kate. Needless to say, "Tomb Raider" had already been made into a game character. In the future, when it was made into a movie, she would definitely be the female lead. As for that … hehe …
As for her "once" cold and seductive image, Adriaan had also made arrangements. In order to prevent copyright issues, he was looking for a way to adapt it into a novel, just like "Tomb Raider" and "The Matrix". So, even if he wanted to know what kind of eye-catching performance Kate would have in that role, he gave up in the end.
However, in this way, the matter of choosing a role for the movie became a little more troublesome. After Kate, Adriaan considered Sarah. It just so happened that Sarah had practiced Taekwondo. Although it was basically a show, the toughness and softness of her body were quite good. Adriaan had a deep understanding of this. However, Sarah was a little too beautiful and a little too young, so she was not particularly suitable.
However, other than Kate and Sarah, there seemed to be no more suitable candidates, at least among his women. Liv was relatively suitable, but … it was better for her to be a vase, a promising career. After thinking for a long time, Adriaan finally decided to let Monica be the female lead. Her facial features were not particularly delicate, but they were quite charming, and she could fully display her figure. As for the disadvantage of her age, the makeup artist would not disappoint. It was very interesting to think about her imagination in the movie.
"Some horror and scary stories, but at the same time, it is very imaginative." Monica, who had finished reading her novel in the study, pushed open the bedroom door, and was immediately startled by the sound of moaning that filled the room.
"What? You like to watch this?" Looking at the scenes on the TV screen, which were intense and fierce, Monica said half-jokingly, "You don't want me to do that, do you?"
She never avoided these topics, and sometimes she was even bolder than Adriaan.
"Why would I? I don't want to. " Adriaan shrugged with a smile, picked up the remote control, and pressed the stop button. The "two kings and one queen" image on the screen suddenly disappeared.
Then, he picked up the cover of the videotape and shook it, "I was just curious and wanted to watch it. You know, although they did not say it explicitly in the previous publicity, they hinted a lot. There should be a lot of people like me in Hollywood."
"So it's her …" Looking at the young woman on the cover who was full of depravity and wildness, Monica suddenly realized.
That's right, it was Joey Walter's wild and untameable daughter. Ever since she entered the industry, she had become the hottest new star in the adult film industry. She had also won an award at the adult Oscars in Las Vegas, and was sought after by many people. Of course, Old Walter would definitely not take this as an honor. He had already cut off his relationship with his daughter, who had made him a joke in Hollywood, and even accused her of bringing shame to the family.
However, his daughter was not someone to be trifled with. She also revealed in the newspaper that she was fighting back against her divorced parents, and even revealed that she had stolen her mother's boyfriend. Moreover, she took on all kinds of films, with a lot of tricks, and the scale was shocking. Using this method to take revenge was very much in line with her character.
Admittedly, this method was very effective. At least Old Walter was currently in a semi-retired state in Hollywood, and her mother did not even go out for a long time, and did not participate in the various parties that she used to be passionate about. However, because of this, it was difficult for her to make a comeback, and she could only continue on this path. Sometimes, fate was so unpredictable. It was just a small change, and a person's life might become completely different.
Adriaan knew that this change was caused by his appearance. Although he did not know what caused the change, he had no intention of making up for it. Although opportunities determine the future, personality also affects choices. In Adriaan's memory, her behavior in the 1990s was not much better than an adult film actress. He was not too surprised that she would take this path.
If it was at the beginning, perhaps Adriaan would be interested in catching her and training her. Now, it was better to watch her films.
Of course, these things were not discussed now. Adriaan quickly changed the topic, "So, there's no problem?"
"Of course, I haven't worked with you for a long time." Monica automatically sat in his arms, and said with a smile around his neck.
"But you have to be prepared to suffer first, Monica." Adriaan patted her buttocks gently. "You have to train for at least three months first."
"Training?" Monica showed a puzzled look. "What training?"
"Well … Have you watched Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, Monica?" Adriaan thought about it and asked. After getting a negative answer, he continued, "Then I will recommend you a few movies first. You can take some time to watch them. I need you to fight with others like this in the movie. However, if you want to make such moves, you can't do it without training. For this reason, I will specially hire a few people from Hong Kong to be in charge of the action director. Don't complain when the time comes."
Leaving aside Monica's surprised look when she saw the recommended Kung Fu movies, Adriaan soon welcomed Yuan Heping, the action director from Hong Kong, in late July. With Wu Baige's help, it was easy to invite him.
"I heard from John Wu that you are the best action director in Hong Kong, is that right?" In the vacated conference room, Adriaan looked at the skinny old man in front of him with interest and asked.
After listening to the translation, the other party immediately smiled, patted his chest, and said a lot of things. Naturally, everyone liked to hear good things. However, he spoke in Cantonese, and Adriaan could barely guess the meaning of a few sentences. With the experience with Wu Baige last time, he had no interest in "showing off" his Chinese.
"Mr. Yuan said that although he can't guarantee that he is the best action director, he is definitely the most experienced action director." The translation then said.
This was the difference between Americans and Chinese. If it was an American, he would definitely climb up the pole and claim that he was absolutely the best. However, Chinese always liked to be humble and praise themselves from another angle.
Adriaan didn't say much and just nodded, "I think so too. I have also watched a lot of Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, and I often see Mr. Yuan's name appear in the credits."
After hearing the translation, Yuan Heping's eyes flashed a trace of surprise. He was not a fool. Even if the Hong Kong movie was spread over and everyone's name was given English subtitles, no one would know his English name. Then, the other party should have known from the Chinese subtitles. How could this "foreigner" have such a good level of Chinese?
"If it's possible, could Mr. Yuan allow someone to demonstrate it? I don't want to offend anyone. I just want to know if Kung Fu can express what the movie wants to express. " Adriaan didn't know what he was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, so he quickly continued to speak, but his words were full of politeness.
Obviously, this kind of tone was very useful to the old man. He immediately nodded with a smile, made a gesture to the two apprentices he brought, and then asked the interpreter to vacate the venue. The two apprentices were almost in their early twenties. In metric terms, they were about 1.75 meters tall and looked very strong.
The two walked to the middle of the venue and made a posture. They paused for a few seconds to adjust their breathing, and then began to fight. Probably because the venue was relatively small, the two did not make any big movements. Basically, it was just the Kung Fu of their hands, probably grappling hands or something like that. Adriaan wasn't particularly clear about this.
It had to be said that the two young people did indeed fight very well. The fierce appearance of a tiger was very enjoyable to watch, but unfortunately, the strength was a little lacking. Adriaan, who would fight with Claude or the boxing coach from time to time, still had this kind of taste. Of course, it could also be because this was a show of Kung Fu, and they were both holding back. Who knew?
Even so, all the people in charge around him showed a look of surprise, including Charlize. Although the action scenes in American movies were fists and flesh, they were relatively simple and not good to watch. Hong Kong movies had some market in the United States, but not everyone would watch them.
"Very good." After the two young people finished their demonstration, the old man made a gesture of "please", and Adriaan clapped his hands. "I think I can make a decision, Mr. Yuan."
He looked at Yuan Heping with a smile. "But now, there is a change from the original proposal. Everything before is invalid. I now officially invite you to be the action director of two movies."
