Separated from the cold wind, there was a steaming bathroom. The East Asian-style decoration and layout had a hint of a Japanese-style hot spring. Although it was not a real hot spring, the comfort was not much worse than a hot spring. Especially when soaking in the hot water while looking at the distant sea view through the transparent glass wall, it was a unique feeling.
This was another villa of Adriaan's in Malibu. He had a lot of villas. Some were used for vacations, some were used for women, and some were used for … playing. Just like this one, it did not cover a large area, but it was very comfortable and relatively hidden. There was no need to worry about being discovered, and he could play more freely.
As Matsushima Nanako's excited scream faded, her tense body also softened. She loosened her hands around Adriaan's neck and fell into the water. Fortunately, Kyoko Fukada supported her from the side. However, Nanako was already absent-minded at this moment. There was only a trace of a silly smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, which looked very much like the characters in some romantic action movies or manga.
Another woman on the other side of the bath immediately muttered something in Japanese, and a trace of contempt flashed across her face. She had short black hair and soft facial features. She looked about 30 years old and had a very good body, especially the pair of plump breasts, which were a bit bigger than Kyoko's.
"What are you talking about?" Adriaan immediately reached out and pulled her over. His hand went through her back and pinched her plump breasts.
"Nothing. I just saw that she seemed to be unwilling before, but she screamed louder than anyone else. Just like in some manga, the mouth is disgusting, but the body is upright." The mature woman smiled charmingly. Not only did she lean into Adriaan's arms, but she also touched his lower abdomen with one hand. "Let me do it, Eide. I will make you satisfied."
"You really know how to talk, Kika." Adriaan laughed and immediately sat on the edge of the bath, looking down at her. "Then let me have a look."
Fujiwara Kika proudly puffed out her chest, took a deep breath, and held her plump breasts. She looked at Adriaan and put her hands on the plump breasts.
As soon as the New Year passed, "Memoirs of a Geisha" began the official preparation. If everything went well, "The Last Samurai" would be released this year, so he moved "Memoirs of a Geisha" to this year to prevent conflicts. And with "The Last Samurai" as the lead, as long as a new round of interest in Japanese culture was aroused in North America, the revised script of "Memoirs of a Geisha" should be able to attract more attention.
Naturally, there was a lot of opposition in Japan. After Gordon's novel was published, he was criticized for ignoring the facts. But when they heard that Worldwide wanted to use Japanese actors, all the agencies immediately came to him.
However, there were too few Japanese actors with international influence, which was one of the reasons why the original version used Chinese actors. So it took a lot of time to pick and choose. Apart from the female lead Yukie Nakama, the male lead Ken Watanabe, and the geisha friend of the female lead, Kyoko Fukada, the remaining two roles had not been chosen yet. The female lead's teacher and teacher's opponent had not been chosen yet. He really didn't know what to say.
This situation was not resolved until Adriaan asked.
Nakata Hideo was one of the directors who was good at making horror movies in Japan. Because of Adriaan's intervention, he lost "Ring", which made him famous in Japan, and was now second only to Takashi Shimizu, who directed in Hollywood, but he still released a horror film in the second half of 2000.
Then, because "The Ring" and "The Grudge" were released in the United States, this horror film called "The Misty Forest" was quite popular in Japan and East Asia. Coincidentally, he also chose Yasuko Matsushima as the female lead. Because of this, Yasuko became quite famous in Japan and East Asia. Because of this, Adriaan chose her to play the role of Yuri's teacher in "Memoirs of a Geisha."
At first, the people at Universal, like DreamWorks in his previous life, hoped that Lin Chi-ling could only play one of the main roles. After all, this was a woman's movie, and there were very few actresses who could play as big a role as the male actors. Choosing a more influential actress would be more guaranteed. Of course, this suggestion was rejected by Adriaan. The most important thing to do was to avoid repeating the same mistakes. How could he agree to such a request?
Therefore, the role of Yuri's teacher's opponent was chosen. She also had a certain amount of influence in East Asia. She had developed in both television and film, and had even collaborated with a Hong Kong film company in the millennium. Last year, she won the Japanese Drama Academy Award for Best Actress, which was also known as the Japanese Drama Oscars.
After that, he went back and forth between Japan and the United States for all kinds of training. For example, he practiced English, studied all kinds of settings, costumes, and geisha techniques. These required the actors to be on the set during filming. At the same time, Adriaan could also find time to do things he liked with them.
This was obvious. Was it that easy to get a role in Hollywood? Because of this, Yasuko Matsushima had rejected him once in the beginning. When Adriaan went to Japan, he left a deep impression on her. Even though he did not do anything violent, she almost broke down. Moreover, she did not dare to seek help from a psychiatrist. Fortunately, Japanese women had strong endurance, and she managed to pull through.
Now that Yasuko was married to Odachi Takashi, her life was relatively peaceful. After receiving such an invitation, it would not be a problem to find out what would happen in the future. Of course, she would not agree. Unfortunately, Adrian understood what she was thinking after receiving the reply, which made him even more interested. He immediately asked someone to tell her in an obscure way that he wanted her to go over to him.
Under such circumstances, how could Yasuko refuse? Moreover, the first rejection was not considered firm. After all, there were not many Japanese actors who could get a place in Hollywood. Up until now, there were only Watanabe Ken and Yukie Nakama. If Watanabe Ken entered Hollywood with decades of accumulation, then Yukie completely relied on Adriaan's support.
'He is like a devil. I can't refuse him.' The weak Yasuko said in her heart. In the end, she came to Los Angeles and took off her clothes in front of Adriaan. This was the submissive Japanese woman.
Therefore, compared to Fujiwara Norika, Adriaan preferred to play with Yasuko. Just as Ji Xiang said, she was quite "honest". On the surface, she looked extremely unwilling, but once she took off her clothes, she would be more active than anyone else. Although Ji Xiang's breasts were not small, Kyoko's were not much worse than hers. There were also many women with large breasts around Adriaan.
Yasuko's situation was somewhat similar to Richel's. The difference was that at least two-thirds of Richel's rejections were insincere, but her rejection was completely sincere. Every time she said, "Please, Mr. Kewell, please let me go," she really hoped that Adriaan would stop. But when he entered her body, she would excitedly cater to him, which made her even more attractive.
Coupled with the addition of the wife attribute, Adrian could play more tricks. Things like calling Japan had almost become a routine. It was no wonder that he loved it so much that he could not bear to part with it.
Of course, Adriaan did not neglect Fujiwara Norika because of this. This woman knew how to conduct herself, and she was not like Yasuko, who had a submissive attitude that was unique to Japanese women. She gave people a very elegant feeling, with the temperament of a mature woman. Also, when she took off her clothes, she was quite wanton, not losing to Yasuko at all.
From her point of view, it was very worth it. Even if she could not become the second Yuki Hui, as long as she could please a rich and powerful person in Hollywood, it would be a good thing for her to fight for opportunities in the future. Therefore, no matter what request Adriaan made, she agreed to it. Other than the various uniforms, she also played a lot of cosplay, such as the captured Tears of Afterlife in the live-action movie "The Cat Eyes Sisters", or the kidnapped Interpol in "Thundermen", etc.
These two women and Kyoko Fukada made Adriaan very happy, but Yuki Hui did not participate. Previously, when he played with Ayumi Hamasaki and Kyoko Fukada in Japan, it was because they were about the same age. But here, Yasuko Matsushima and Fujiwara Norika were both older than Yuki Hui. If she joined in, how could Yuki Hui show that she was superior to them? Adriaan still cared about the feelings of his part-time maid.
But the most interesting thing was that because of them, an idea that he had in the past finally came true.
"Alright, since Mr. Quan is so kind, I won't reject it anymore. This weekend …" Adriaan stood up and looked at the calendar on the table. "March 5th, I will arrive on time."
"I'm really grateful." The Asian man in front of him stood up and bowed with an excited expression. "I hope it didn't bother you."
"Of course not. In fact, I'm very happy to attend your party." Adrian smiled and gestured for the man to leave. Only then did the man leave his office, turning his head back repeatedly.
After the door closed, Adriaan immediately stopped smiling. His fingers knocked on the table a few times, and Ivanka walked in.
"You asked for information about Quan Zhengyu." The female secretary passed the document to him. "Is this person very important? I skimmed through it, and there's nothing special. "
"No, I'm just a little curious." Adriaan smiled and flipped through the document in his hand. Soon, he found what he was looking for. "Look, he used to be the deputy director of Samsung's publicity department. Then, he was transferred because of some mistakes. Now, he's the president of an entertainment agency affiliated with Samsung."
"What's wrong with that …" Ivanka stopped mid-sentence. She followed him to Korea, and she knew a lot of things. Coupled with her constant understanding of Adriaan, it was impossible for her not to guess what it was.
"I knew it. I had to let you …" She sighed, but the expression on her face was very calm. She had long been used to it. "If this weekend, I, Kate, Charley, or Sarah wanted you to stay at home, what would you do?"
"Don't ask such a silly question, Yini. You know the answer." Adriaan laughed.
Ivanka snorted with satisfaction. Then, she turned around and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned back and asked, "Do I need to continue investigating?"
"No rush. We'll talk about it after this weekend." Adriaan smiled.
The Koreans' weekend party was held in a pretty good two-story bar in the West Forest district. They had booked the entire place and decorated the place in a gorgeous manner. Furthermore, it was decorated in the style of the Americans. Other than their people, they had also invited quite a few guests. When Adriaan arrived, Quan Zhengyu purposely came out with a few people in charge to greet him, which surprised him a little.
The beginning of the matter was actually very simple. A Korean TV series crew wanted to come to the United States to shoot some outdoor scenes. It would be even better if they could go to Harvard. However, Harvard had never allowed any crew to film there. Even Hollywood movies about Harvard were either shot in a studio or in a few universities in California. It was even more impossible for the Koreans to succeed.
However, they did not give up after being rejected by Harvard. So, they wanted to ask Adriaan for help, so this request was conveyed to him through Samsung. Although Samsung repeatedly stated that it was just a small matter, and that they could forget about it if it was not appropriate, Adriaan happened to be free at that time. So, he simply studied the crew's information in detail. It was definitely impossible to shoot in Harvard, but it was not a problem for them to shoot a few scenes outside of Cambridge. As for the rest, they could shoot in UCLA and other schools.
Although it did not achieve the desired effect, it was enough. So, after a few weeks, it was finally completed in early March. The crew immediately held a celebration party, and then Quan Zhengyu personally came to invite Adriaan to attend. At first, Adriaan did not have much interest, but the other party kept coming again and again, so he finally agreed.
It was also because of this that Adriaan had the idea to investigate him. Then, he discovered the problem. After some deduction, it was not difficult to guess why the other party invited him. However, even though he was mentally prepared, he did not expect that the other party would actually …
"I'm really sorry, I was too careless." The young woman's face was flushed red. She grabbed a tissue and hurriedly wiped Adriaan's collar. Just a few seconds ago, she accidentally spilled a bit of wine on him.
Did these Koreans become stupid from all the TV series they've been watching? How could they use such a scene? That was what Adriaan thought at the time. However, on the surface, he maintained a gentle smile. He directly grabbed the other party's hand and wiped it himself with a tissue. "It's okay, it's not too much. I just need to wipe it a little."
The wine stain on his collar was not much, just a small one. Of course, if it was too much, Adriaan would have to go back and change his clothes. If it was too little, it would be too deliberate — even though she was quite good at it.
"Oh … okay." The Korean woman looked at him in a daze. After a while, she realized that her hand was still being held by him. She quickly retracted her hand, and her blushing face became even redder.
Her facial features were very beautiful. If one looked at her for a long time, they would find that there was a natural gentleness about her. She was not the same type as Quan Zhixian and Song Huiqiao.
"Xi … I hope you won't blame me, Mr. Adrian Kewell." Seeing that Adriaan was done cleaning up, the young woman spoke timidly. After staying in Los Angeles for several weeks, her English was not bad.
"How could I, Miss Kim Tae-hee." Adriaan smiled.
The young woman's eyes widened. She seemed somewhat surprised. "You … you know me?"
"Yes, when Mr. Kwon Jung-woo brought the film crew's information to me and asked me to think of a solution, I studied it in detail." As he spoke, Adriaan made a gesture of invitation. "Can I buy you a drink?"
"Mm? Oh … of course. "Kim Tae-hee's expression changed slightly, and then she squeezed out a smile.
The two then went to the bar, each ordered a glass of wine, and started chatting. Most of the time, it was Adriaan talking, and Kim Tae-hee listening. From time to time, she would purse her lips and smile, and then she would say a few words. She sounded cute, but sometimes she seemed a little stiff. However, from afar, it seemed that they were having a good conversation.
After chatting and laughing for about half an hour, Adriaan got up and left.
"Are you leaving now?" Kim Tae-hee was a little surprised. Her eyes flashed with hesitation, as if she didn't know whether she should ask him to stay or what.
"Yes, I'm sorry. Although it's nice to chat with a cute girl like you, I have other things to do." Adriaan said with a smile. He paused before saying, "By the way, you're going to stay in Los Angeles for a while, right?"
"Ah? Oh, yes. "Kim Tae-hee was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly replied. Such a pause had happened more than once tonight.
"Then can you give me your number?" Adriaan asked naturally.
"No … problem." After another hesitation, Kim Tae-hee found a pen and paper, and wrote her number on it.
"Thank you, you're really a cute girl. Tae-hee, goodbye." Adriaan put her phone in his pocket, and then went straight out of the bar.
Kim Tae-hee sat on the high stool at the bar without moving. After he went out for a while, she was awakened by her friend's voice.
"Hey, Tae-hee, what did you talk about with Mr. Kewell? He's a big shot. "The one who asked was also an actress in the cast, Jung Songji, who was a few years younger than her.
"No … nothing." Kim Tae-hee smiled.
"Really? Or did you say something private to him that you don't want to tell us? "Jung Songji smiled mischievously.
"Alright, Songji, stop harassing Tae-hee." The male lead, Jin Laiyuan, walked over and interrupted.
"Why are you so nervous, Jin Laiyuan? Are you planning something bad? "Jung Songji immediately turned to a new target." I'm warning you, Tae-hee's family isn't ordinary. "
"Alright, Songji, stop joking." Jin Laiyuan said with a blush, and involuntarily glanced at Kim Tae-hee, and then Jung Songji giggled.
Listening to their words, Kim Tae-hee smiled bitterly. So what if it's not ordinary? She looked at the private room behind the transparent glass on the second floor, and forced herself to pull herself together. She smiled and said, "You guys talk first, I still have something to do." Then she went up to the second floor.
Outside the private room, she knocked on the door. After getting permission, Kim Tae-hee walked into the room. She, who was very natural before, immediately lowered her head, and clasped her hands together, timidly standing there, not daring to raise her head.
After a while, Kwon Jung-woo's cold voice sounded, "Why didn't you chase after him just now?!"
