Chapter 474

Yukihui opened the door carefully and looked around to make sure there was no one in the living room. Then she hurried upstairs to her room, but she was very quiet, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.

Adriaan's car was parked outside. It was impossible that she did not see it when she came in. Moreover, he had called his family to leave temporarily. If not for the fact that she had left the script and thesis at home and had to use them this afternoon, Yukihui would not have come back at this time.

She had been in America for almost a year, and Yukihui respected and liked Adriaan. He had done a lot for her, and he was very considerate. Although the role he arranged for her in Friends was only for three episodes, the response was good, and it opened up her path in Hollywood. There were already many low-budget movies looking for her to play supporting roles. Of course, she listened to Adriaan and turned them down.

"It's not easy for Asians to make a career in Hollywood. Just like in Japan, Kansai and Kanto don't like each other. So, if you want to develop here, it will take a long time, unlike in Japan, where a song or a role can turn you into a popular artist. But don't worry, I will arrange everything for you, "Adriaan said to her.

Usually, he would take time to chat with her, and they talked about all kinds of topics, from the world's scenery to social activities, all kinds of funny jokes, and … Japanese animation and games. Yukihui never knew that Adriaan was so knowledgeable about these things. Sometimes she even had the illusion that if he went to Japan to make animation, he might not be any worse than the top Japanese producers. Of course, Adriaan denied this.

"I just know a little about Japan, and I gave a few suggestions from a bystander's point of view. In practice, without the support of a large number of outstanding people, these are just castles in the air." That was what he said.

In addition, after knowing that she liked to play video games, Adriaan would often play a few rounds with her, and he would be angry and even shameless when he lost. As for bed, there was no need to talk about role-playing or uniform seduction. When he went home to visit his parents during the New Year, he contacted his former colleagues and heard that some of them had encountered worse things.

Adrian didn't really treat her as a maid or a plaything. In addition, Country R women's character of obeying the strong was engraved in their bones. Yukie also settled down to be his little lover, and never felt that there was anything wrong with Adrian having other women. Today, Yukihui could roughly guess the reason why he asked his family to leave temporarily. He came back at this time because the things he left behind were indeed very important.

She had a good plan. She took the things and left immediately. As long as she was careful, Adriaan would not find them. Unfortunately, accidents always happened. When You Jihui left her room with the script and thesis, she sighed in relief and was about to sneak downstairs. At that moment, the door at the end of the corridor opened, and a young girl walked out lazily.

When Yukihui took the script and the paper out of her room and was about to secretly go downstairs with a sigh of relief, the door at the end of the corridor opened, and a young girl walked out lazily. The girl was very petite, wearing smooth silk pajamas. Her calves were bare, and she walked on the floor barefoot. She looked delicate, and even when she yawned, she looked very cute.

"Ah?!" The girl immediately noticed Yukihui's figure and suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong, Nada?" Adriaan heard the sound and walked out. He was also wearing pajamas, but his strong chest was exposed.

"Yukihui? Why are you here? "After holding the surprised and shy girl in his arms, he recognized her.

"I'm sorry, sir! I'm sorry, miss! I left … I left Miss Charlize's things here. " You Jihui hurriedly made a 90-degree bow. In a moment of desperation, she thought herself clever and said. She stopped bending her waist, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Did you get it?" Adriaan's tone did not sound angry.

"Yes, I got it. I'll leave right away." You Jihui stole a glance at him. Adrian's gaze was very calm, which made her heave a sigh of relief.

"Very good, don't make any more mistakes," he said with a double meaning.

"Yes, sir, I promise I won't." Yukihui nodded again and again, then she bowed and retreated. She only turned around and went down when she reached the stairs. She didn't look at him again.

She didn't really relax until she got in the car and drove out of the courtyard of the villa. She couldn't help but recall the scene just now. The girl didn't seem to be very old … But she quickly shook her head and threw these thoughts out of her mind.

Although Yukihui left, the matter at the villa had just begun.

"She's the Japanese servant you hired?" Sitting at the table, Natalie, who was still wearing pajamas, looked at Adriaan with her hands covering her face. There was a sense of scrutiny in her eyes.

"Yes, part-time. Japanese women are very good at cleaning the room." Adriaan, who put the milk in front of her, shrugged.

"Then why was she so panicked?" The girl asked, and then asked half-jokingly, "She looked very afraid of you. Are you a tyrant at home?"

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Adriaan spread his hands innocently and showed a faint smile. "I think she was like this because she saw something she shouldn't have seen."

As soon as he said this, Natalie frowned, and her eyes showed dissatisfaction. "You said no one would see it!"

"Yes, I said I was sorry." Adriaan nodded and admitted. "But don't be so nervous. Yukihui is not a talkative person."

"But she still saw it. You know … no one knows!" Natalie was still a little unhappy.

"Then what do you want me to do? Bury her in cement and then transport her to Long Beach and throw her into the sea? "Adriaan asked jokingly.

The girl snorted and did not speak. Adriaan then sat down and put her on his lap. He kissed her cheek and said, "Believe me, nothing will happen."

Natalie pursed her lips and then took a big gulp of milk. She then asked, "By the way, she just mentioned Miss Charlize. Who is that?"

"My assistant secretary. You should have seen her before," Adriaan said casually.

"Really? But I … don't remember. "The girl frowned and recalled." And you always come to my house alone. "

"Of course. Do I have to bring my assistant with me everywhere?" Adriaan replied with a smile, as if he found the question very interesting.

Natalie looked at him deeply. There was a trace of indecipherable look in her eyes, and her teeth gently moved across her lips. Adriaan still looked indifferent. When he picked up the coffee cup, he noticed her eyes and then asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you have any questions to ask me? "

"Nothing. Anyway, if it gets leaked, you will be the unluckiest one." The girl pouted and snorted. Then she changed the topic. "By the way, what do you plan to do for the next two days? Don't tell me you have to stay here every day. "

"What's wrong with staying here? Well, I'm just kidding. I already have plans. Since your excuse is to visit Pixar with me, then let's go there tomorrow. They are very interesting there. You will like it. "

Adriaan did as he said. In the next two days, not only did he bring Natalie to Pixar, but he also took a stroll in San Jose, which was not far from Los Angeles. Just as he said, the young lady really liked the atmosphere of Pixar, because all the copyrights and peripherals belonged to Pixar. Although they didn't have a more complete system and rich experience like Disney in terms of marketing, the profits they made were still quite shocking.

Therefore, Pixar changed early on. In addition, with Adriaan's suggestions from time to time, as well as the incentive of the company's stock options, the current Pixar was filled with more vitality. It was already at the scale he remembered Pixar to be a few years later. Although the second animation was still "Bug's Secret Service," the production was more exquisite and efficient. It was going to be released this summer, but under Adriaan's suggestion, it was moved to the Christmas slot at the end of the year. Also, "Toy Story 2" was also in production, and it would probably be released next summer.

Natalie was having a lot of fun. Although she was smart and precocious, it was the first time she was completely like a child playing around. The people at Pixar were originally big kids.

Adriaan felt a little regretful. When they were at home that day, the girl obviously wanted to ask something, but unfortunately, she swallowed it back. From his point of view, he hoped that she would ask so that he could naturally be honest and adjust according to her reaction. After all, Natalie and Kirsten were different. Some things were easier to solve when the other party was younger.

However, some things couldn't be forced, so Adriaan had to think of another way.

"Then, congratulations." After watching Lucas, Shelley, and Natalie's professional manager, Sandy, from the side, Adriaan stood up and said so.

"Thank you, Eide." Shelley expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you for your help." Lucas did the same, but he changed the topic. "But now, there is still a problem, maybe you can provide some advice."

"I sincerely suggest that you, George, bring your problem to the church," Adriaan looked serious.

The few of them laughed, and Lucas was a little embarrassed, but he continued, "Okay, I know I'm asking for too much …"

"Not 'too much', but 'very, very much'!" Adriaan corrected him.

There was another burst of laughter, and Lucas could only look at him with a bitter smile. "Eide!"

"Okay, let's hear it. If you really can't provide it, don't make things difficult for me," Adriaan said in preparation.

"It's actually very simple," Lucas said without saying "yes" or "no." "You know, according to the script, we need to prepare a substitute maid for Queen Amidala. Since you recommended Natalie, perhaps you can also recommend a girl who looks similar to Natalie."

"This …" The corner of Adrian's mouth twitched. He had actually forgotten about this matter. If Lucas hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have been able to do so.

Of course, he couldn't say it immediately, or else it would be too shocking. So, he frowned and said a word, then looked at Natalie for a long time without saying anything.

"You don't have to think of it immediately …" Just when Lucas was about to say that he could wait for a while, Adriaan suddenly clapped his hands. "Hey, I really thought of one!"

"Really?!" Lucas' eyes widened. He originally just wanted to have another channel, but he didn't expect Adriaan to really think of one.

"That's right. I thought about it carefully, and I'm sure that according to the sketches you gave, no matter if it's the girl's mother or Shelley, I'm afraid they won't be able to recognize them just based on their appearance," Adriaan said confidently.

"Are you serious?"

"You're joking!"

Shelley and Natalie screamed at the same time. Just a moment ago, they were just stunned, but now their eyes widened like Lucas.

"I swear to God, I'm absolutely not lying." Adriaan raised his right hand in a serious manner. "That girl is British. One of her parents is an actor, and the other is a screenwriter. I've also worked with them before. It just so happens that I'm going to England soon. When I come back, I'll give you her detailed information, and you'll know by then."

A few days later, England, London, Mr. and Mrs. Knightley's home.

"In fact, it's very simple. The first script is a story that overrides history, applying the story written by Shakespeare to himself. It has a kind of plausible but very interesting feeling; while the second script is basically a story based on historical facts. Of course, in view of the heavy fog of history, we only need to grasp a few main threads, such as Elizabeth I being imprisoned in the Tower of London, becoming Queen by chance, and announcing her marriage to England, and so on. Then, we need to supplement the small details according to folklore to make the whole story more interesting." Sitting in the living room, Adriaan spoke with assurance.

"I have to admit, these two scripts are very interesting." Sharwin flipped through the two incomplete scripts and lamented, "I don't know if I can help you finish them."

"You're too humble. You did an excellent job on the script for 'Emma' last time, Sharwin." Adriaan smiled and said, "You can use the same method to complete these two scripts."

By using the same method, he naturally meant inviting a few British screenwriters to discuss and supplement the script. Originally, there was still some time before Adriaan would bring the two scripts to England. According to the plan, it would be after the filming of 'The Matrix' ended. However, the incident of 'Star Wars Prequel' popped up midway, and he couldn't wait any longer. Therefore, he simply brought it forward to now. Coincidentally, they were currently filming the subway battle between Neo and Smith, so it would be no problem for Yuan Heping to handle the action scenes.

"No, no, no." Sharwin shook her head. "That's not what I want to say. What I want to say is that these two stories take place in the same era. If you're not careful, you might confuse them when you're thinking."

"That's a problem." After thinking for a moment, Adriaan nodded and said, "How about this, you pick the one that suits you best, and I'll find someone else for the other."

"That's great, Eide." Sharwin heaved a sigh of relief. After discussing with her husband in a low voice, she made a decision. "Then, I'll go with 'Shakespeare in Love'. This story is really interesting."

"That's settled then." Adriaan nodded and didn't force the issue. Then, he looked into the inner room and shouted, "Emma? We should go. "

The sound of footsteps could be heard, and the little one's head quickly poked out of the room. However, she looked a little unhappy. "So soon? We've only been here for a few minutes. "

"That's right. Can't you let Emma stay a little longer?!" Kyla's head also poked out from above Emma. She glared at Adriaan and seemed very dissatisfied.

"We didn't. We only stayed for a few minutes. Since we've finished our business, we should leave." Adriaan spread out his hands.

"It's okay. If you don't mind, please stay for dinner," Sharwin said immediately. It was rare for her daughter to have a friend that she could get along with.

"Can I?" Before Adriaan finished, the little girl had already cried out. She looked at him with her big, bright eyes with a pleading look.

"Don't worry, Emma. Even if that guy doesn't agree, you can stay. I'll send you back," Kyla said while patting her chest. She even gave Adriaan a provocative look.

The three people in the living room almost laughed at her childish behavior, but Will and Sharwin smiled bitterly. However, before they could say anything, Adriaan had already agreed. "Alright, it's my honor."

After saying that, he specially smiled at Kyla. Unfortunately, Kyla did not buy it. She snorted and turned her head to the sky.

Adriaan was not angry. He just pretended that he had just thought of something. "Oh, I almost forgot something. Hey, Kyla, do you remember our promise?"

The girl was stunned. She immediately screamed, "Of course I remember!"

As expected, how could this girl, who had an inferiority complex at such a young age, forget the opportunity to prove herself? Adriaan smiled. "Do you want to hear my question now?"

"Eide?" Sharwin looked at Adriaan in confusion. She already did not remember the promise between her daughter and Miracle Director, even though she had been happy for her daughter at that time.

"Tell me. As long as you don't go back on your words, I'll definitely do it," Kyla immediately walked over and said arrogantly with her chest puffed out.

"Kyla!" Sharwin said with some blame, but she looked at Adriaan.

Making a gesture to Sharwin, Will, and Emma to calm down, Adriaan looked at Kyla with a smile. "It's simple. One of my friends is preparing a movie, and he needs a substitute to play the role of the female lead. The substitute for the role, not the actress. Do you understand? In other words, he needs an actress who looks like the female lead. I think you're very suitable. So, as long as you can play the role and make your mother look like the female lead's mother, I'll fulfill my promise. What do you think? "
