"Okay, everyone, let's continue. Hurry up, we're almost done!" After the discussion with the assistant director, Adriaan immediately called for people to start working. Normally, he would start by clapping to attract attention, but now that someone was occupying his arms and chest and wouldn't let go no matter what, he had to raise his voice.
"Where's Kate? She's the main character in this scene. " Scanning the actors on the set, Adriaan frowned. Fortunately, Kate, who had changed into her costume, quickly walked in from outside.
"Sorry, I ran into some trouble while changing." She walked a few steps to her seat.
"Okay, it's okay, but …" Adriaan looked at her and was about to say something when he suddenly felt his collar tighten. Emma's angry voice rang beside his ear, "Don't look at her!"
Although her voice wasn't loud, the assistants and assistant director around them all heard it. If it wasn't for Adriaan's ugly expression, they might have laughed out loud. Of course, Kate, who wasn't far away, didn't miss this sentence. Her expression was just as ugly as Adriaan's, but she pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
"Listen to me, don't mess around!" Adriaan also smacked the little girl's head gloomily. Then, without giving her a chance to speak, he ordered the script clerk to announce the start of the scene.
Speaking of which, he should actually thank Emma. That day, when he was discussing the movie with Neville, he had taken the opportunity to meet Monica, who had come to London. Before returning, Adrian had cleaned up all traces. He was confident that no one would be able to find out anything. Although Monica claimed that she wanted to squeeze every last drop out of him, when she fell into a deep sleep in satisfaction and exhaustion, Adriaan felt like he had only eaten a third of the main course.
Every person who was reborn was special and different from ordinary people. One was their abnormal memory bank, the other was their strong body. Coupled with the accumulated experience from his previous life, as well as the environment and background he had, Adriaan completely believed that he was reborn to fulfill his desire.
Okay, let's get back to the topic. After carrying the sleeping Monica to bed, he took a shower in the bathroom and cleaned up his body. After leaving a small card that he made at the last minute, Adriaan immediately rushed back to the hotel where the crew was staying.
However, as soon as he walked into the hotel lobby, Emma, who had once again been released from the "cage", rushed over and hugged him. What made him even more depressed was that before he could say anything after carrying the little fellow, Emma inexplicably frowned and stretched her head over to sniff his neck. Then, she immediately glared at Carter who was about to come over to her.
Just when everyone was puzzled, she began to wave her arms at Kate and yelled, "Don't come over!"
This made people even more embarrassed and depressed. Although the little one didn't like Kate much in the past, she had never behaved like this, not to mention in the hotel lobby. Fortunately, there were no reporters outside.
However, Adriaan quickly understood the reason and was secretly a little surprised. The little one actually smelled something wrong with her nose? How is that possible?! She's too sensitive!!
Since Emma could smell it, would she also be able to sense it when he and Kate were being honest? Although Adriaan believed that it was because children mostly acted on their instincts, and the younger they were, the more so. He couldn't take the risk. A woman's intuition was no less than a child's.
So, he took the opportunity to give Kate an apologetic look and carried the little one back to the room, even though Kate's gaze was full of hidden bitterness and indignation. Even though he really wanted to eat his main course.
Fortunately, the little one mistakenly thought that the object was Kate, but she probably didn't understand what was going on. Adriaan, who returned to the back of the camera, had an idea. After putting Emma on a chair and giving her a few reminders, he immediately picked up the camera and began to shoot personally. The shooting of the entire movie was basically coming to an end. They had done a good job before, and they couldn't afford to make any mistakes at the last moment.
It took another four days. Around late July, "Howard Manor" finally closed, and the British media, which had begun to fall silent because of Adriaan's lack of response, became active again.
"I'm worried about the future of this movie again. Adriaan obviously didn't put all his effort into shooting. He only used a little more than six weeks to finish all the scenes. Maybe he's thinking more about violent movies than about expressing the delicate aspects of this novel," a newspaper said.
Of course, as he had shown during this time, Adriaan did not respond to this. He continued to do what he was doing. His spokesman also continued to say that he hoped to make a judgment after the movie was released.
"They seem to have forgotten that I've always been this fast when it comes to making movies," Adriaan teased the media in private.
After disbanding the crew, giving the employees a long holiday and comforting Emma, Adriaan and Kate returned to Los Angeles together.
"I'm finally back. God as my witness, I've never felt so much better in Los Angeles than in London." As soon as they entered the villa's living room, Kate suddenly raised her hands and shouted. She was wearing a checkered shirt and jeans, and her curly hair, which was permed for the movie, was swaying around her shoulders. She looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child.
"Don't worry, she's just holding it in and wants to take this opportunity to vent." Adriaan waved at Mrs. Galen, who popped her head out and thought that something had happened.
"Holding it in? You think so? "Throwing her handbag on the sofa, Kate stared at Adriaan with her arms crossed.
"I know, it's a very depressing thing to be inexplicably hostile to a child. I can't hit her, I can't scold her, and I have to smile. But, Kate, no matter what, Emma is only a two-year-old child. Do you expect a two-year-old child to understand the adult world? "Adriaan comforted with a smile.
"We've talked about this topic many times, Eide, I'm not stupid, I just …" Kate made a few gestures and suddenly didn't know what to say. After a while, she sighed and said, "Oh, what the hell, you actually want to do post-production in London. My first summer vacation looks like it's going to be …"
"Okay, Kate." Adriaan pulled her into his arms. "You have to know, this is a British-style movie, and most of the employees in the crew are British. Do you want them to come to Los Angeles for post-production? Also, there's a movie that's in negotiations. In short, we have to look on the bright side. Even when we were filming, Emma didn't pester us every day. Also, if we're in London, it'll be easy for us to go to Europe for a vacation, right? "
Kate snorted softly. Although her hands were on Adriaan's shoulders, she pouted and didn't say anything else.
"Why don't we think about how we're going to spend the next few days?" Adriaan smiled and kissed her cheek. "We can rent a small yacht and go out to sea. My sailing skills are trustworthy. Or we can go watch a basketball game. The Lakers and the Bulls have a game in a few days, but the Lakers, who are at a low ebb, might be beaten by the Bulls led by Jordan. If you don't like these, then we can go to Claude's cocktail party and cause trouble for him. Of course, we can also host a party in the mansion and invite all your friends and classmates."
"It all sounds boring." Although Kate said this, her smiling face obviously didn't mean what she said.
"I see." Adrian scratched his head and suddenly carried Kite in his arms. Then, he sat on the sofa. "That's it then. Why don't you plan the next few days' schedule?"
"Me plan?" After being carried, Kate screamed. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around Adriaan's neck. She was stunned when she heard this. She forgot to let go and sat in his arms.
"Of course, you can do whatever you want. I will be your coachman wholeheartedly for the next few days." Adriaan deliberately bowed, but he still held Kate in his arms. It was a little inappropriate, and Kate couldn't help but giggle.
"However, you have to promise me something first." Adriaan suddenly said.
"I knew there was a condition. Say it." Kate gave him a big eye roll.
"You have to accompany me to the premiere of Ghost Horse Pokémon at the end of the month." Adriaan said with a smile.
Kate couldn't help but be stunned. "You really want me to accompany you to the premiere?"
"Of course. This can increase your exposure and popularity. It can also be an early promotion for Howard Manor. Besides, Sarah misses you." Adriaan said and pinched her chin.
"Sarah?" Kate couldn't think of who it was for a moment.
"Oh, if Sarah knew that you forgot about her, she would be very sad. When I talked to her on the phone last week, she mentioned you and asked me to send her regards." Adriaan said.
"Hey, I didn't say I forgot about her. I just didn't think of her for a while." Kate punched him angrily. "Then it's settled. I will go with you to the premiere at the end of the month!"
After various "in-depth" exchanges and discussions, the itinerary that Adriaan initially listed was all rejected by Kate, and the two finally went to San Francisco. According to Kate's words, "I remember that you had the idea of going to San Francisco with me, but it didn't happen because of some reasons. Why not make it up this time?"
Since Adriaan said he would be her coachman, he would certainly not refuse, so he deliberately drove the silver-gray Ferrari convertible. The two wore sunglasses and drove all the way to San Francisco with music in the wind. After having a good time there, they drove back the same way the day before the end of the month.
On July 31st, the family-type Ghost Horse Pokémon, which had been fully promoted by Disneyland, held its first screening at the China Theater in Hollywood.
