Chapter 647

"I have to say, everyone, well done. You've all done a great job. Although generally speaking, this kind of praise should be given after the end of the movie, but your performance exceeded my expectations, and also gave the whole movie a good start, so you deserve this kind of praise. "After the end of the day's shooting, Adrian called out to everyone and praised them.

They had indeed done a great job, from the makeup to the lighting to the filming to the two leading actors, so Adriaan did not mind doing this to keep everyone's morale up. As long as they kept this up, the progress of the movie would be shortened a lot.

"It turns out that I was right about you. So, keep it up, Joaquin." Adriaan patted Joaquin Phoenix on the shoulder and turned to Natalie. "You too, Natalie. You didn't let me down, and I believe you won't disappoint me next. Do you have any plans tonight, Natalie?"

The sudden change of topic surprised everyone around them, but Natalie shook her head calmly. "No, but I just want to stay at home and rest."

The meaning of Adrian's words couldn't be more obvious, and Jacquin couldn't help but snicker. Although he quickly put away his smile, Adrian still glared at him. Although he left without saying anything, Joaquin still felt a little nervous. He immediately asked Silver, who had stayed in the studio and accompanied him throughout the shooting, "Will I be okay?"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Silver rolled his eyes and looked at his second brother, who still did not quite believe him. He could not help but ask, "Don't you think Adriaan's technique is too low? It doesn't match his identity as a playboy at all. "

"It's a little …" Joaquin said, stroking his chin. However, what he said next made Silver roll his eyes again. "But it also shows that Eide really likes Natalie, so he didn't want to use too many tricks."

Silver sighed helplessly and decided not to say anything more. However, he also had a little doubt in his heart. Could it be true?

"I did it on purpose." After making love on the bed, Adriaan held the girl in his arms. Under the dim bedside light, he gently caressed her body and answered her question.

"But …" Natalie, who had exhausted all her strength and had to lie on his chest, looked hesitant. From the very beginning, she had been opposed to this kind of relationship. Even if they had nothing to do with each other in the eyes of the public, it did not matter. However, Adriaan insisted on it because it was obviously impossible, so she had no choice but to acquiesce.

However, Natalie had always been worried about this, so she would mention it every now and then. Of course, she could not follow Adriaan's wishes, but mainly …

"No one will say that you're deceiving them." Adriaan lifted her chin. "I just need to spend some effort to mislead them, and the fans will naturally imagine everything. It won't affect your image. You're still a talented girl from Harvard, the most outstanding actress of the new era. They will only be jealous that I spent a lot of effort to pursue you, and they will not think that you're … a two-faced person."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Natalie's blushing face turned a little pale. She immediately turned her head to the side, and her body tensed up involuntarily. Adriaan laughed carelessly. He turned over and pressed her under his body again. As for Natalie's weak resistance, it only made the exercise more interesting.

Adriaan had always been clear about Natalie's thoughts, very clear, even before the confrontation. It was just that he did not want to admit it. So, he had been watching all her efforts coldly. Of course, Adriaan understood Natalie. No matter who was forced to this point, they would find a way to resist. Just wait and see.

"Don't worry, I'll soon divert their attention." After entering her body again and listening to her moans, Adriaan chuckled.

"Go Forth" went on smoothly, which made Adriaan a lot more relaxed, and he had time to supervise other works. "Lord of the Rings" was waiting to be released. Although "Life as a Rose" was a little bumpy because of his absence, as long as it could be screened at the end of December, it would be fine.

In addition, he also went to the studios where several movies were shot. Even though it was already October, there were still new movies released. For example, Bosworth Pictures and Michael Bay's studio invested in the remake of "Texas Chainsaw" starring Jessica Bell, or "Saw" produced by Bosworth Pictures. "Saw" also won a lot of praise. In the end, the old man "Jigsaw" stood up from the ground in a "resurrection" way and announced the end of the game, which became the highlight of the entire movie.

In fact, the entire "Saw" was very ordinary until the end. Even though there were some highlights, it was not enough to become a classic. However, with this ending, the suspense of the whole movie was immediately raised to a higher level. Therefore, with a production cost of more than one million yuan, it could earn 100 million yuan at the global box office and develop into a series.

Adriaan originally planned to wait a little longer before giving this classic, low-budget, high-box office classic to Bosworth, but since Laffern personally came to him, hoping that he could support Bosworth Pictures, he had to give them some face, so he gave the script to them. There was no doubt that the reputation and box office were both good. As for whether it would develop into a series in the future, that was Bosworth's own business. Anyway, none of the sequels could surpass the first one. Even the third one, which had a good reputation in his previous life, was not as amazing as the first one. In the end, it was completely reduced to a blood movie, and the focus was like the "Final Destination" series, from suspense to the way the characters died.

Of course, even now, this horror film was still doing well at the box office. The remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was also doing well at the box office. Although this remake did not cost as much as "Saw," which only cost slightly more than a million dollars, it still did not exceed ten million dollars. On the other hand, it earned more than 25 million dollars at the box office in North America in the first week, which was comparable to "Saw," and the two films even competed for the top spot in the box office rankings. So, no matter what, it was still profitable.

To be honest, looking at this result, Adriaan wanted to ask, how much did Americans like this series? Would they pay to go to the cinema like this?!

Well, the topic was off. Although there were such remarkable movies in October, the off-season was still the off-season. Other than these few highlights, the overall performance was still mediocre. However, with the off-season for movies, TV dramas naturally ushered in the peak season. This was already fixed. Many long-awaited new TV dramas, such as "Battlestar Galactica" and "House", began to air at this time.

"The biggest attraction is House's mouth. This eccentric man is always merciless with his words. Even if he cares about others, he will never express it directly." When he went to the studio of "House," he said, and happened to see the main actors taking a break, so Adriaan chatted with them.

"Let me give you an example …" As he spoke, he looked at the three actors who played House's assistant in the series. It was still a woman and two men, and there was a black man among the men. However, his gaze went past the two men and landed on Kelly Brooke, who played the young female doctor. "There were many memorable moments in the first episode. One of them was when House asked Alison in a serious tone, asking her what she, a beautiful young lady with a good figure, had experienced to become a doctor. He even gave a detailed explanation of what had happened to her. Frankly, what he said was reasonable, but to say it in front of the other party, and with a serious expression, you can see how bad this guy is. "

Indeed, although the scope of this line was a bit wide, it was generally true. As mentioned before, medical schools in the United States were very strict, and many people gave up before they could complete their studies and internships. If Pu Yaka had followed her original path, she would have returned to India to participate in the beauty pageant long ago.

"But this is also a kind of charm, and not easy to get along with, but it doesn't mean that he is incapable. So even if his three assistants have some complaints, they admire him very much, and the administrative director, Lisa Cudi, has never thought of driving him away," Adriaan continued, and then his gaze moved to Vera Farmega, who played the role of Lisa.

"Well, that is indeed the case. After the broadcast, I kept browsing the Internet, wanting to know their comments. But when everyone praises me for my good performance, sometimes I can't help but worry that if I put too much into it, I'll end up like this in real life, and that won't be good. "Hugh Lorry sighed.

"I believe that won't happen, Hugh." Adriaan laughed.

This TV series was indeed quite popular. Even though the first episode only had 9 million viewers and lasted for three episodes, it jumped to 13 million from the fourth episode onwards. Furthermore, the audience of 18 to 49 years old, which advertisers were most concerned about, had also increased to 5.2%, and it looked like it would continue to increase. It could be said that as long as this number was maintained, "House" would definitely be able to make it into the hottest TV series of the year. As a result, not only did Hugh Laurie become famous, but the popularity of the actors in the series also increased significantly.

It was the same for "Battlestar Galactica." Just as Adriaan had described, its first broadcast had more than 5 million viewers, and this was a TV series that was broadcast on cable. Moreover, its reputation was quite good, and several of the main characters were quite eye-catching. Although Gao Yuanyuan's performance was nothing special, there were no flaws either.

This was also a good idea. First, she would let the audience familiarize themselves with her. Then, she would think of a way to display the characteristics of the character. Besides, she was deliberately cultivated. Her short hair and heroic appearance in a combat uniform were indeed very attractive. After watching a few episodes, many people started asking about the actors on the official website.

However, because this was a sci-fi series, it would usually be broadcasted after filming a season. Therefore, at this time, the crew was on vacation, or else Adriaan would have gone there first. Gao Yuanyuan also returned to China not long ago, but Adriaan was not worried. Hua Yi knew that he had taken a fancy to her, and they must have disclosed to the higher-ups that he did not need Gao Yuanyuan before he left for the mainland again.

"This character is very good. Capable and resourceful, and knows how to compromise. I learned a lot."

"Mine is also very good. It's amazing to play a doctor in front of the camera. The medical knowledge I learned before finally came in handy."

The first was Vera Farmega, who played the role of the administrative director, and the second was naturally Kelly Brook, who played the role of the female assistant doctor. What was interesting was that Vera was obviously a little uncomfortable, and Kelly was the first to speak, with her proud breasts sticking out, completely ignoring Vera.

"Very good, both of you did well. Vera and Kelly did not let me down." Adriaan, who was secretly laughing, said seriously, "Then keep up the good work, I have to leave. Look, the assistant is calling you."

After saying that, he also made a move to leave, which made Vera more or less relieved. However, when she saw Kelly, she immediately followed, not caring at all about the looks of the people around her, and became a little restless. In the end, however, she did not move. The reason was simple, she still had scenes to shoot, and Kelly did not.

"Can I walk with you, Eide?" Kelly followed Adriaan and said, brushing her hair behind her temples.

"Of course, but …" Adriaan looked around, "I think we'd better skip to the last step."

"No problem." Kelly licked the corner of her mouth.

The two then found an empty room, and after locking it, Kelly eagerly began to take off her clothes. After Adriaan sat down at a table, she held up her full breasts and leaned over.

After Adriaan played with her in London, Kelly came to Hollywood not long after. Since Adriaan had a good reputation in this area, he arranged for all kinds of jobs for her. Of course, it could not be compared to his collection. Although these were only slightly lower level shows, roles, and various kinds of front covers, Kelly still had a good time, at least much better than she did in England. So in the past two or three years, she often played friendly matches with Adriaan, and every time, she served him well.

Since she worked so hard, Adriaan also asked people to give her the role of House's female doctor when they were preparing for "House's Doctor." Although this role was not top-notch, as long as she could grasp it, her reputation and career would at least go up a notch. Of course, Adriaan also warned her that it was best to take time to enrich herself.

Kelly Brook was not stupid, and he was very serious. Although she lacked talent in acting and did not have much interest in learning, she gritted her teeth and forced herself to cram some medical knowledge. If she did not find a way to seize the opportunity when it came, then she might not have another chance in the future. These preparations were more or less useful. She received some good reviews during the audition, and then with Adriaan's support, she got the role. When the TV series began to be broadcast and became popular, her position in the crew was basically confirmed.

So, Kelly, who was a little clever, seized this opportunity to pay interest, and at the same time, show Vera Famejia, who also played the lead role, her relationship with Adriaan. Through the grapevine, she found out that Vera also got the role with Adriaan's support. She knew that this woman, like herself, had slept with Director Miracle, but Vera's acting skills and popularity were better than hers. So, in order to prevent Vera from using dirty tricks, Kelly had to use this method to protect herself.

In this regard, Adriaan naturally accepted it without hesitation. He also skipped a series of steps, and directly found a room to start. Anyway, he had dragged Kelly to any random place to have fun. Kelly knew his preferences and her own advantages, so how could she refuse? To be honest, if he waited a little longer, it was possible to get Vera to have a threesome, but it was only a possibility. Vera was still a little shy. The last time they met, he had a threesome with Rachel McAdams. On the one hand, it was because of family reasons, and on the other hand, she had thrown caution to the wind. If she had a choice again, she might not make the same choice.

Of course, Adriaan did not mind. Vera only needed to have fun once in a while, unlike Kelly, who could have fun a few times. Anyway, he had already given her enough things. Other than the popular administrative manager in "House" who could showcase her acting skills, he had also given her the female manager in the remaining two movies of "The Bourne Identity", Pamela Randy.

There was nothing wrong with this. Anyway, the script did not have to follow the original novel. He remembered that Joan Allen's performance in the Chinese version of the movie was quite eye-catching, but only Adriaan knew that. Would there be any problems with letting Vera play the role? There were only two points. First, Vera had never acted in a similar role before, and second, this role was older than Vera's actual age.

This was also fine. The opportunity was right in front of her, and "The Bourne Identity" had already proven its box office appeal. There was no way Vera would not fight for it. Moreover, she had not acted that many times as a housewife, and her acting skills were quite good. As long as she worked hard, she might be able to play this role well. Moreover, it was not like no one had ever acted in a role older than their actual age.

This was enough. In fact, it was more than what Vera had given. However, if she wanted more after tasting the sweetness, then she would have to pay more than this. Adriaan's deals had always been "fair."

Take Rachel McAdams for example. Other than the female lead role in "Lost," which was already in preparation but would not start filming for a long time, she also had a rather important role in the movie.

“cut！” After calling for a cut, Adriaan walked over to the actors and actresses with a frown. After circling them twice, he said to Jekun, "I need you to act a little more grumpy, but you have to control your limits. As for you, it would be even better if you could increase your emotions just now. If you can't do that, then stay the same, understand?"

The last sentence was said to Rachel McAdams, who played Johnny Cash's ex-wife, Vivian.
