"It's very simple. I have high hopes for you." Adriaan smiled, "In Hollywood, the center of the film industry, there are very few types of Chinese movies that can make a name for themselves. The shelf life of a Kung Fu star is also relatively short. Coupled with that kind of arrogant personality, it's normal for you to encounter such a situation. But I know that you will be one of the best."
Jett Lee inevitably felt a little depressed, but he couldn't say anything. After all, what Adriaan said was the truth, so he had no choice but to drink the champagne in the glass.
"You should know that I have worked with many Hong Kong filmmakers, such as Mr. Yuan. When I asked him about your situation, he praised you to the skies," Adriaan continued.
"Thank you. My relationship with Master Yuan is not bad. In addition, your Chinese is quite good. I have never met a westerner who speaks Chinese as well as you do. And … you know a lot of colloquialisms," Jett Lee said flatteringly. Jett Lee said flatteringly. Although he played positive roles full of righteousness in movies, it did not mean that he was not slick enough.
"Is that so?" Adriaan laughed and then patted him on the shoulder, "I have never misjudged a person. A salary of 3 million is about the same as what you got in Hong Kong. You won't let me down, right?"
"Of course." He nodded seriously without hesitation.
To be honest, when Jett Lee first entered Hollywood, he was far more miserable than Jack Chen. After all, Jia He had worked with Hollywood before. Jack Chen had also acted in Warner's "Cannonball" a long time ago, so it was relatively easy for him to enter Hollywood. Last year, a certain Hollywood producer approached Jett Lee and wanted to invite him to play a negative role in an action movie. At first, he offered a salary of 1 million, which he quickly agreed to. But not long after, for some unknown reason, the producer suddenly lowered the salary to 750,000.
At this time, many people in Hong Kong advised him not to go. A salary of 750,000 USD was only available to second-rate actors in Hollywood. He could get at least 25 million HKD for a movie in Hong Kong, so why bother going to Hollywood? But Jett Lee didn't listen to the advice and agreed immediately. Seeing that there was profit to be made, the producer immediately lowered the salary again to 500,000.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would still agree. All he needed was a chance, a chance to go to a broader stage. After several years in Hong Kong, he had seen through some things.
But now, someone intervened. Before he could agree, another company came to him and invited him to play a supporting role in a movie for 3 million, but it might have to wait a little longer, at least until 1998. After hesitating for a while, he understood the other company's situation and who the boss was. He immediately agreed. He wouldn't have swallowed this if he had any other choice.
Moreover, Wu Baige and Yuan Heping, who had gone to the US first, had sent him to work, hoping that he would agree. Needless to say, Wu Baige didn't have much of a friendship with him. She was just helping Adriaan to deliver a message, but Yuan Heping and he had a good friendship. They had worked together on "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" quite happily, which led to today's scene.
Adriaan was very satisfied with this. No one in Hollywood knew Jett Lee's situation better than he did. It was definitely not his style to let him go so easily. Besides, he could also gain the other party's favor by doing a little something, so why not? It was just that the shelf life of Chinese Kung Fu stars was slightly shorter here. This couldn't be helped. As he said before, Chinese actors could only make a name for themselves in Kung Fu movies. At first, many Westerners would watch them for novelty, but after watching too much, they would inevitably get tired of it. And because of more complicated factors, they might be able to fly brilliantly across the sky, but it would be difficult for them to stay there for long, unless …
But it didn't matter. If they could make a fortune, it would be a fortune. Some things needed a foundation. Besides, New Line had already invested in Jack Chen's new movie to enter Hollywood, so Robert Shay still had some foresight.
The party was generally a success. Although the three big shots were unwilling to lose to each other, they didn't show it on their faces. It just so happened that the three of them were clumsy people, and without those sharp-tongued confrontations, they became a lot more harmonious — after a few glasses of wine, they immediately became familiar with each other. And although Steven Seagal wasn't as famous as them, he was still one of the best action stars. Jean Reno and Adriaan were also considered old friends, and the two of them played a very good lubricant role between them.
The others also got along well, and when they were with Jett Lee, they didn't have any discriminatory words or actions, which was exactly what Adriaan wanted to see.
This "The Expendables" would definitely be very interesting. He thought as he shuttled through the party. While selecting actors, Marvel also began to conceive of the possibility of a comic version, and the art director of the crew also designed different exclusive weapons and characteristics for different mercenaries. Of course, if Jett Lee was willing, he could also be responsible for designing his own action scenes, which would definitely be very interesting, and there would be no need to trouble the Yuan brothers.
And the story was also changed under his supervision, adding a lot of interesting segments. As long as they found a proper commercial director, this would definitely be a good commercial movie. As for the only female character that had more scenes, Stallone's daughter, he already had a suitable candidate in mind. After all, he should keep the goodies within his own field.
But there were no plans to add female action characters in the movie yet. Although Michelle Young's skills in "Tomorrow's Kingdoms" attracted a lot of attention, it was far from enough to set off the craze for female action movies. Although Adriaan knew the future, he still planned to let the movie test the waters first. After all, it was only a few days away.
That movie naturally referred to "Fierce Girl", which was scheduled to be released on February 14th, Valentine's Day. This was a very strange arrangement. Generally speaking, romantic movies were arranged at this time, in hopes of getting box office from those couples, but arranging an action movie was a bit out of place.
But the person in charge of distribution had his own explanation. First of all, the main characters were the three female protagonists. They were omnipotent, which was bound to be favored by many feminists. Second, they also had boyfriends, but their boyfriends did not know their identities, which would undoubtedly capture the minds of many women. In addition, the female protagonists were charming and beautiful. They sang and danced in the movie, and even when they fought, they were quite beautiful, which would also attract many men.
All these factors combined, and the commercial elements that a movie should have had, it was handled quite well. Moreover, the Christmas and New Year had just passed, and major productions of various companies had begun to gradually go offline, but the movie had not yet entered the off-season. Inserting a work that was completely different from the previous action movies at this time might not be unpopular. Therefore, Adriaan did not stop such an arrangement. Whether a movie could sell well, publicity and marketing were important, but the key was also the quality. Without a story and plot that the audience liked, no amount of marketing would be of any use.
As expected, "Fierce Girl", which was released in 2000 cinemas, earned more than 30 million in North America in just three days. The beautiful and sexy appearance, the ups and downs of the plot, the dazzling fight scenes, and all kinds of irrepressible humor made the three "Charlie's Angels" quite popular among young people, especially girls. Christina Aguilena, who sang the theme song, instantly became popular along with the song.
"This is a unique movie. If Michelle Young in" Tomorrow's Empire "taught us that female action characters are not bad, then Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Kelly Hoo in" Fierce Girl "used practical actions to further illustrate this point," the "Los Angeles Times" commented.
"Oh, I really love you, Eide. Do you know, I've never been so happy." In the middle of the noisy room, Drew, who sat in front of the bar, grabbed Adriaan's arm and exclaimed loudly. His other hand was holding a glass of wine and swirling the amber liquid in the glass.
"You drank too much again, Drew," Adriaan responded with a smile.
"No, no, no, I swear to God, I definitely didn't drink too much." Drew shook his head and looked at Cameron beside him. "Is that so, Cammie?"
"Yeah, you only drank 'a little', that's all." Cameron, who sat beside Adriaan, raised the bottle on the bar. The whiskey that was opened not long ago was now only half left.
"Oh, you make me sad when you say that." Drew sighed exaggeratedly and then looked at Hu Kaili, who was lying on him and giggling. "Only you can help me now, Kelly."
"Alright, I can testify that Drew didn't drink much. After all, there are four of us here. Drinking half is really not a big deal." Hu Kaili tried to smooth things over. "Besides, even if Drew drank half of it alone, she won't get drunk."
"Not getting drunk and talking too much are two different things, Kelly," Adriaan reminded. "I think Cammie will agree with me."
"That's right. Just admit that you drank too much. Drew, Eide has already supported me." Cameron's entire body was pressed against Adriaan's back.
"I knew it. Among the three of us, Eide likes you the most. He has already arranged a movie for you, but Kelly and I have nothing," Drew said in a half-joking tone.
"Don't be jealous, Drew. It's not like Eide hasn't thought about you guys." Cameron laughed.
"Yes, how could Eide forget us? Besides, Cammie's new movie is also funded by our company," Hu Kaili added. The three of them cooperated very well.
In this regard, Adriaan could only laugh and shake his head. This was the celebration party for "Charlie's Angels." After receiving 30 million in the box office in three days, it received another 40 million in the following week. It was quite possible for it to cross 100 million in North America. Coupled with the unprecedented popularity of the movie, the skills and styles displayed by the three female leads were discussed enthusiastically by many fans. It even drove up the video rental rate of the TV series "Charlie's Angels". Drew could be said to have completely stood up again.
She was quite happy, so naturally, she privately held a celebration party at home. Other than the company staff and her three best friends, she invited a large group of people. Naturally, Adriaan was among them.
Was this retreat for the sake of advancing? Looking at the three women who had temporarily thrown him aside after chattering for a while and began to chatter non-stop, Adriaan drank his whiskey and recalled their tacit understanding just now. To be honest, he really did not expect that Drew, Cameron, and Hu Kaili would get along so well. This was not a performance in front of outsiders. After all, after Cameron, Hu Kaili also invested in Drew's production company.
He did indeed arrange a comedy for Cameron Diaz, a sex comedy, "I'm Crazy for Mary." This was also a movie with a considerable box office, and it was also like that. The script was produced by the screenwriters early on, and then a series of methods were used to spread it, so that they had the upper hand. However, the main reason why he still let Cameron star was mainly because the women around him basically did not fit the image of a silly big sister. Julia could give it a try, but her age was not suitable. Besides, how many of the real superstars had starred in the female lead of a sex comedy?
Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to leave it to Cameron, and then pull Drew to invest together. It was not a bad idea to do him a favor.
"Oh, Eide, it's a little noisy here. Cami and I want to go upstairs to calm down." Drew suddenly leaned over and said in a coquettish tone, "Later, can you come up and accompany us?"
Her red lips were only a few inches away from his face, and the slightly alcoholic breath slid past his face. Coupled with the flirtatious look in her eyes, the meaning was self-evident.
"My pleasure." Adriaan smiled and then watched them leave and go upstairs. Then, he raised his eyebrows slightly. If he was not mistaken, they … seemed to be three people?!
After sitting at the bar for a few more minutes, Adriaan got up and walked around. He greeted a few acquaintances and chatted for a while. Looking at the noisy crowd in the room and outside, he then walked upstairs. Soon, he arrived at the door of the bedroom that he had entered several times. He adjusted his clothes, coughed softly, and then knocked on the door.
"Please come in, the door is not locked." A sweet voice was heard, and because there was a layer of separation, he could not tell whose voice it was.
After entering, he closed the door and locked it, isolating the noise outside. Before Adriaan could say anything, he was stunned. The light in the room was deliberately adjusted to the lowest, and there was a hint of ambiguity in the dim yellow. Hu Kaili was indeed here, and she was lying with Drew and Cameron on the big bed that Drew bought so that he could roll around at will. She was wearing a tank top that exposed her navel, and only a pair of underwear.
"Hi, angels." Adriaan greeted them half-jokingly.
"Hi, Charlie." Unexpectedly, they replied in unison.
"I finally meet you, Charlie." Cameron jumped out of bed, walked to his left, and hugged him.
"Your appearance is more attractive than your voice." Drew also jumped down, walked to his right, and hugged him.
"We can finally fulfill our long-cherished wish." Hu Kaili walked behind him and hugged his waist from behind.
The story of "Charlie's Angels" was born out of the TV series "Charlie's Angels". It mainly talked about three beautiful detectives who were hired by the millionaire Charlie to complete various tasks. Charlie usually contacted them through the radio, and he had never appeared in person. This identity was very compatible with Adriaan, so he asked that question. Who knew that the three women would answer without hesitation, and it was obvious that this scene was premeditated.
After walking back and forth between the six red lips, Adriaan let out a long sigh, and because the three hands were alternating, his lower body was already raised. Drew, Cameron, and Hu Kaili all began to become excited. They all had an affair with Adriaan, and they all knew that the other had an affair with Adriaan. Moreover, Adriaan, Drew, and Cameron had a threesome more than once, and there were a few times when they were in Drew's office. Hu Kaili also knew about this, and it was no big deal to enter the house now, so it was meaningless to be reserved at this moment.
Soon, his clothes were stripped off, revealing his strong body, and he sat on the bed amidst hugs and kisses. Drew and Cameron, one on the left and one on the right, knelt on either side of Adriaan, constantly moving their hands up and down his body while kissing passionately. Hu Kaili kissed his chest as she slid down, and finally knelt in front of him. Needless to say, the two of them had handed their first time tonight to her.
When Hu Kaili buried her head and began to suck, Adriaan felt a comfortable feeling in his throat. His hands began to tighten around Drew and Cameron, and his head began to move back and forth between the two bodies.
After Denis had no intention of 4P, he had been planning to do the same, but he was different from Denis. One of his principles when it came to women was to never force them, and he didn't have such good luck — he didn't like to put everything on luck — so if he wanted to achieve this idea, he had to plan carefully.
What he didn't expect was that before he could plan anything specific, Drew and Cameron actually took the initiative to stick to him with Hu Kaili. This made him a little surprised. When he went to bed with Hu Kaili in the past, he had teased her many times to try a threesome, but the other party always looked around and talked about it. But now, not only did she agree, but she also had a 4P as soon as they arrived. Should he say that she was bold and unrestrained?
Even so, Adriaan still accepted it with a smile. He couldn't find a reason to refuse.
The atmosphere in the room began to become lascivious, especially Hu Kaili, who was working very hard below. The sound of her clicking her tongue directly ignited the emotions of Drew and Cameron, making them kiss Adriaan even more passionately. Not to mention, from time to time, she would raise her head and look at the man and two women above with a flirtatious gaze. The two women on both sides became more and more excited. After raising their hands to take off their singlets, revealing their soft and full breasts, they also began to kiss Adriaan's chest, followed by getting off the bed, all the way down, and finally knelt in front of him.
Tonight had just begun.
