Looking at the taxi that took Kirsten and her mother away, Adriaan couldn't help but touch the place on his cheek where he had just been kissed. The little girl's soft lips seemed to still be on his cheek, and he could still feel the fragrance of her face.
Damn that little vixen! Although Adriaan cursed in his heart, the strange feeling still lingered in his heart. She actually dared to do such a thing on the street under the watchful eyes of so many people. She was really bold.
It wasn't until the taxi disappeared at the end of the street that Adriaan turned around and was about to return to his car. Then he saw Charlize standing not far away, holding his chin with one hand and pursing his lips, looking at him with an indescribable expression.
"Let's go, there are other things to do!" Adriaan shrugged nonchalantly. Charlize didn't say anything and curled his lips, then followed him into the car.
Before the official start of filming, there was only one thing left to do.
In the slightly noisy studio where the staff came and went, Adriaan sat quietly at a small round table, sipping his coffee and waiting for something. On the other side of the small round table, Charlize was whispering something to a middle-aged woman. The woman was slightly plump, but one could still see her youthful beauty. From the occasional chuckle, it could be inferred that they were having a good conversation.
At this time, the crisp sound of high heels tapping on the ground came from afar, and finally stopped in front of the small round table. Adriaan immediately raised his head and let out a gasp of admiration. The two people in the middle of their conversation stopped. Even though the middle-aged woman was extremely confident in her daughter, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise at the first sight.
Her black hair was long and straight, hanging from both sides of her face and falling on her shoulders. Her beautiful blue eyes were even more lively, making people unable to look away. Her rosy lips were even more vibrant, giving people the urge to bite them, and her white and tender skin seemed to be able to squeeze water out of it. Coupled with a fitting black pleated dress that reached just above her knees and a pair of five-inch open-toed heels, her tall figure was completely accentuated, especially her slender legs.
Not only did her youthfulness and innocence not disappear because of this outfit, but it also blended together, mixing the characteristics of a pure girl and a sexy girl. She stood there gracefully, with a unique charm.
No wonder she was described as "the symbol of innocent girls in the 1990s." At least from the appearance, she was indeed very pure and beautiful. Adriaan couldn't help but clap his hands in his heart. If Kirsten was seductive in that she took the initiative like a fairy, Natalie was seductive in that she was elusive, and Liv was seductive in that she exuded charm from the inside out. Of course, that was how it seemed on the surface.
"What do you think, Bibi? Am I right?" Adriaan looked at Liv's mother with a smile.
"Well, I admit that I am really surprised. Your taste is really sharp." Bibi stared at her daughter and said, "It seems that at least I can't refuse. Liv, what do you think? "
Liv looked at Adriaan with her blue eyes. There was no shyness or excitement in her eyes, but curiosity. After a while, she asked softly, "Is it just MTV?"
"For the time being, but you are very suitable for the image of a pure girl, Liv, so I suggest that you can live in Los Angeles for a while," Adriaan said. "After all, that is the base of the film industry."
He could not find a suitable role for the time being. It just so happened that the record company formed "Superboy" — Adrian directly plagiarized the name of the group — had gained quite a bit of popularity through the previous few good singles. After the release of their new album, they started to become popular. Therefore, they were filming an MTV video for their new song. Therefore, he took this opportunity to invite Liv to be the female lead. After all, her debut would also be in MTV.
As long as she went to Los Angeles, then everything would be easier. As for movies, there were so many in his memory. If he thought about it carefully, there would always be one, and now he had a vague idea.
"Mom, what do you think?" Liv then looked at her mother.
"I just said it, dear," Bibi replied immediately, but she quickly realized that her daughter was not asking about this. After hesitating for a few seconds, Bibi then looked at Adriaan. Obviously, the miracle director thought that his daughter had great potential and wanted to train her, but …
"You make the decision, Liv." Bibi finally shrugged and gave the choice back to her daughter.
"Then I agree. Thank you, Mr. Adriaan." Liv then gave Adriaan a sweet smile, and her eyes finally showed excitement. "Anyway, I have wanted to go to Los Angeles for a long time."
Just like that, Liv's matter was settled. Because she had just entered the industry, her mother acted as her agent. Bibi herself was a model, and she had a certain amount of connections in the industry.
However, some things still needed professionals to take care of, so Adriaan lost no time in recommending Sandy, who had left a good impression on him. Sandy did not let him down. She quickly gained the trust of Liv and her mother and successfully signed the contract. This way, Adriaan would be very clear about Liv's every move. Plus, Sandy was also a smart person, so he did not have to worry about anything going out of control in Los Angeles while he was busy shooting in New York.
Speaking of which, I was really lucky. I actually met three girls that I wanted at the audition in New York. Maybe I should really go to church and pray to thank them. Adriaan couldn't help but feel proud of himself.
After he was done with all this and handed the final matters to the other people in charge, he brought Charlize to Washington, DC. James Cameron had brought the crew of "True Lies" to shoot on location here a few weeks ago, and they were almost done with filming.
"We used a lot of manpower and material resources for that chase scene. It wasn't easy to get the cooperation of the police department. Unfortunately, the National Park Administration does not allow us to shoot outside the Lincoln Monument. Otherwise, it would be quite cool for Arnold to gallop past on horseback." As soon as Adriaan arrived at the set, Cameron chattered to him.
Although Adriaan answered with a serious expression, his mind was not completely focused on it. In his opinion, since he had handed the entire movie over to Cameron and given him enough support, he only needed to sit back and wait for the results. Besides, with Cameron's temper on the set, even if he gave him a suggestion, he might not take it.
Therefore, after praising him and chatting with Arnold, Curtis, and other actors for a while, he went to find his target.
Sarah had originally finished her scenes the day before and was planning to go back to Los Angeles. However, she stayed and wanted to stroll around in Washington, so she happened to meet Adriaan.
"God probably told me to do this." After introducing her situation, Sarah said in a faint tone, as if she had accepted everything.
"Anyway, I'm happy to come over and see you for the last time." Adriaan sighed and hesitated for a moment before reaching out and stroking her head. Although there were many reporters near the set asking for news, and Roslan specifically followed her to Washington to take care of her daughter, it didn't seem like a big deal to touch her head.
However, he immediately realized that his words were not right. He immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Damn it!"
"Listen, Sarah, I didn't mean that. I mean … I want to say … Well, I'm happy to see you before you leave." Adriaan rolled his eyes and explained with gestures.
Seeing his slightly funny look, Sarah, who had been maintaining a calm face, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although she immediately recovered, the lines on her face had softened a lot.
"Are you shooting a new movie in New York? About the assassin? "Sarah, who adjusted her mood, then asked.
"Yes, I just chose the right girl for the role. There is still some time before the official start of filming." Adriaan nodded.
Sarah said "oh" and then stopped talking. Adriaan smiled slightly. As early as after the casting news of "This Assassin Is Not Too Cold" was released, Sarah's agent talked to him. It was just that the role of Matilda had to go to Natalie. How could Adriaan let someone else play the role?
In this case, the agent would definitely return empty-handed. Sarah would not be unhappy about this, but it was inevitable that she would be depressed. After all, only people like her who had stayed with Adriaan for a while would understand the miracle of the miracle director.
"I've seen Cameron's arrangement. You have two more scenes in the studio, and then it's over." Adriaan continued, "You can rest for a few months, and then study for a period of time according to the arrangement. Don't worry, some things don't happen quickly. Even I can only achieve my goal when I'm fully prepared. "
Sarah bit her lip, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked up at Adriaan, "I understand."
Adriaan smiled and reached out to touch her head again, but he sighed in his heart. This is the difference between Sarah and Kirsten. If Sarah knew how to use her capital to tease like Kirsten, she would probably be in a different situation now.
Adrian couldn't help but laugh inwardly. He then shrugged his shoulders almost imperceptibly. If Sarah did that, she would not be the Sarah that attracted him. However, Kirsten's temptation to him was really great.
Adriaan did not stay in Washington for too long. He stayed for one night and talked with Cameron, Arnold, and the others. After asking the person in charge of the company about the relevant situation, he then returned to New York and began to devote all his energy to the final preparations of "This Assassin Is Not Too Cold." About ten days later, after two important actors, Jean Reno and Gary Oldman, reported to the crew, the movie that Adriaan had been planning for a long time finally began shooting.
