Chapter 688

Although Adriaan's main purpose in coming to Hong Kong was to visit all the places in East Asia, it was not as if he had nothing else to do. Other than visiting some companies, he had been doing a comprehensive understanding of AC Media's development in Hong Kong. After that, he had been discussing with Media Asia about buying the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs".

This film, which was once described as the savior of Hong Kong movies, basically lived up to its name. At least, it had a new interpretation back then. It was eye-opening and very fashionable. It didn't have the rustic feel of the police and gangster films of the past. Coupled with various religious elements, other than the ending, which didn't show Liu Jianming's suffering, the rest was very good. Naturally, it was very popular.

But that was only limited to the first film. The prequel was slightly better. It had a lot of plot holes, such as the expanded relationship between Chen Yongren and the Ni family. Overall, the quality was not bad. But the third film was purely a sequel. The schizophrenic plot had been used too many times, and Liu Weiqiang and the rest could not come up with anything new. Other than a large number of Best Actors to attract attention, there was basically nothing to write home about. So, Hong Kong films were destined to decline.

However, that didn't stop Adrian from putting in a good word for him, as long as he could get the rights to adapt "Infernal Affairs". However, he didn't want to direct the American version of this movie. In fact, he didn't even want Universal to produce it. He only wanted to get the rights for his own plans. Adriaan had enough halos. He did not need another film. So, he wanted to do Scorsese a favor.

Early this year. Because of him, Sophia had accidentally won the Best Director Award. It was very likely that the Film Academy would have to compensate Scorsese, which was very disadvantageous to his plan. Therefore, if necessary, it was necessary to suppress him. However, when the stick was waved, one had to give a carrot. Combining kindness with might was the way of the king. Only the king of a small place like Shao Yifu would consider himself a cruel tyrant.

As for whether Lin Jianyue would see through it and demand an exorbitant price — no matter what, the specific negotiations would be handled by his subordinates. But it was something that he personally asked for. But it did not matter. His subordinates had already given him suggestions. If it exceeded the bottom line, he could give up. It would just be a little more troublesome.

Adriaan smiled and sat in the car. Then, he turned his attention to the cocktail party prepared by King Entertainment.

To be honest, he was not interested in King Entertainment. Yang Shoucheng had met Yang Shoucheng two or three times before. Yang Shoucheng was wearing glasses like most of the tycoons in Hong Kong. He looked gentle and elegant. He was different from the rumors. That was true. Rumors were rumors after all. But this didn't mean that he didn't do anything. Hong Kong … hehe, so Adrian wasn't interested in dealing with him.

However, Jack Chen Zai was so close to him that they could practically wear the same pants. Hua Yi had a close relationship with the King, so he had to give them some face. Adrian agreed to attend the party today and tomorrow.

"I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Kewell. There aren't many people like you who can manage a corporation and produce outstanding movies." In the magnificent hall of the Peninsula Hotel, which was specially used for large banquets, Qin Guan and Qin Guan were seated on the sofa. Yang Shoucheng held a glass of wine and said respectfully. He attended the reception that night. He knew that Adriaan's Mandarin was very good, so he did not speak in English. It was just that his Mandarin sounded strange.

"You are welcome, Mr. Yang. Our group can develop to this day largely thanks to my friend Claude. I only produce movies most of the time. King Group can develop to this day because of Mr. Yang's efforts. This kind of spirit of not giving up is admirable. "Adriaan accepted it all and complimented him politely.

"Indeed. Many people said that Mr. Yang had failed this time, but he still stood up." Jack Chen laughed at the side. His iconic big nose was suddenly very eye-catching. After hearing that Adrian had come to Hong Kong, not only did he specially come back, but he also personally came to invite him at Yang Shoucheng's request. He even brought his wife and child to the reception. It was easy to guess what he was planning.

Adriaan chatted with them calmly. He gave Fang Zuming a few words of encouragement. Then, under Yang Shoucheng's lead, he got to know some of the guests. Most of the guests at the reception were people from the Emperor. From Yang Shoucheng's younger brother, daughter, niece, to the Director of Artist Management, Huo Wenxi, to some of the artists under the company, there were many of them. Most of the guests who weren't from the Emperor were also artists from the entertainment industry. It could be seen that Yang Shoucheng had quite a bit of influence in the industry.

Many of these people … were familiar faces from his previous life. Mr. Edison Chen was one of them. Of course, there was also his current good brother, Nicholas Xie, and … two female leads who would be very popular in the future.

"We have the most outstanding and popular artists in Hong Kong. Emperor is also working closely with the mainland. I believe we will do even better," Yang Shoucheng said in a slightly proud tone.

Adriaan smiled noncommittally. He turned to look at Jack Chen. "By the way, Jack, are there any new projects in preparation?"

"Recently? Not yet. " Although Jack Chen didn't understand why he asked this, he still answered with a smile. "This year, 'Wyvern Rebirth' was released. Then, I brought a younger generation and made a guest appearance in a movie. Now, I have to accompany my wife and son. I don't dare to act like I did in the past. Otherwise, if I find out that Fang Zuming has become unrecognizable, it will be terrible."

Then, he told the story of how he went to pick up his son from school, only to find out that his son was already in middle school. The people around him laughed along with him.

"That's great. I suddenly had an idea when I went to the mainland's capital. We need to open up in the mainland, so it should be a good idea to cooperate. I wonder if I can invite you to be the male lead?" Adriaan said with a reserved smile.

Before Yang Shoucheng and the others could react, Jack Chen's eyes lit up. He had been in Hollywood for a few years and had a more direct understanding of Adriaan's talent.

"Can I know the specifics?" he asked carefully.

"Of course. This is a story about time travel, or reincarnation. " Adriaan said as he tapped his head with his finger. "Let me think about how to describe it … Well, more than 2,000 years ago, the first emperor unified the world. The surrounding small countries in the cold and remote areas all worshipped him. Korea was one of them. They offered their most beautiful … um … Princess Yushu to the first emperor, and the first emperor sent his trusted general … Meng Yi went to fetch the bride, but a general in Korea fell in love with the princess. So, he wanted to stop him halfway … "

This idea was naturally "The Myth". Adriaan didn't think of this before, but he had an idea after coming to Hong Kong and meeting Jack Chen for a few times. As he said, he provided an idea for Huayi to produce. Well, now he could also involve the King of England. On the one hand, he could further expand the influence of AC Media from within. On the other hand, he could also tell some people. Look, I'm helping you.

Originally, he planned to talk to Jack Chen when he left, but it would be better to say it now. He could show his hand as he did on the Shao enterprise's set.

"… Jack is always Jack. He may be the reincarnation of Meng Yi, but he is not the real Jack. Therefore, Yu Shu sadly stayed in the First Emperor's Tomb, which was filled with falling rocks. Jack also started a new life with endless regret. The name of this story is called 'The Myth'. "At this point, it finally ended. There was silence for a few seconds. Yang Shoucheng took the lead to applaud, and then a large number of people around him also applauded. The sound of clapping attracted many people's attention.

"This is definitely a good story. Mr. Kewell deserves to be a genius in Hollywood. It's amazing." Yang Shoucheng complimented him again.

"Thank you. I'm glad you like it. I don't think Jack will refuse, right? I'll find some Chinese screenwriters to finish the script soon. " Adriaan asked Jack Chen with a smile, and then added, "Of course, I won't interfere with the production of the film. At most, I'll give some suggestions. Everything is up to you."

"Of course, no problem." Jack Chen agreed immediately. He looked very eager. It was obvious that he was very interested in this script.

Yang Shoucheng rolled his eyes at the side and winked at Huo Wenxi, the Artist Director beside him. Then, during the conversation, the group of people who were originally invited to accompany them left one by one. In the end, only Jack Chen, Yang Shoucheng, and Huo Wenxi were left.

"I've heard Mr. Kewell comment on the female leads of the various versions of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre at the last cocktail party. It's really on point. I wonder what Mr. Kewell likes most about Chinese women?" After talking about The Myth and martial arts movies, Yang Shoucheng shifted to this topic.

Here it comes. Adriaan's heart was clear, but he still maintained a smile on the surface. "It's hard to say. It all depends on your feelings. Sometimes, a woman that others don't think is good will be very attractive to you at first glance. Sometimes, a beautiful woman that everyone pursues will be unattractive to you."

"Then, among the female artistes who came to the cocktail party today, is there anyone that Mr. Kewell thinks is not bad?" Yang Shoucheng asked in a more explicit manner, but he still looked serious, as if he was really discussing the charm of women with him.

Adriaan laughed softly and pretended to glance at the scene.

"They're all not bad. Each has their own charm. It's hard to say which one is better," he said. Even though it was said that some things happened in 2004, he still wasn't very interested. Moreover, there was still …

"If you really want to choose …" Adriaan smiled and pointed to a charming woman in her thirties who had medium to short hair and wore a long white dress. "That one is not bad."

Yang Shoucheng looked over and couldn't help but be stunned. Then, he furrowed his brows, as if he was in a difficult position. Jack Chen, who was standing at the side, was silent. He turned his head away, as if he wanted to laugh. Although that woman was also a Hong Kong artiste, she wasn't from the King of England. Furthermore, she had a stable boyfriend for more than a year.

I knew it. Seeing this, Adriaan shook his head regretfully in his heart. Then, he changed the topic. "Actually, there's also a very charming woman in front of us. Perhaps there's a gap between her and that one, but not by much."

Yang Shoucheng and Jack Chen were both stunned. Then, they looked at Huo Wenxi. Huo Wenxi, who also didn't expect this, was stunned for a moment. However, she was the director of the King Artist Management Department, so she immediately revealed a professional smile.

"Thank you for the compliment. Mr. Kewell, "she said.

"In my opinion, Miss Huo completely deserves this compliment." Adriaan waved his hand.

"Of course, many people say that Huo Wenxi is more beautiful than many of our female artistes." Yang Shoucheng laughed and at the same time, he casually glanced at Huo Wenxi. The latter immediately lowered her eyelids and didn't speak.

Then, after chatting for a few more minutes, Jack Chen and Yang Shoucheng left one after another. Adriaan also prepared to be alone for a while, but Huo Wenxi immediately called out to him. "Do you really think I'm not as good as her? Mr. Kewell? "

She narrowed her eyes and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. Suddenly, she had an indescribable charm. She was also in her early thirties. She was wearing a black silk dress with a belt that accentuated her waist perfectly. Coupled with pure black stockings, she wasn't particularly beautiful. But she was very charming. She was like a different person from the previous professional image. Moreover, there were some similarities between her brows and Lin Qingxia's. No wonder she played Lin Qingxia's childhood role in "Seven Brothers".

"It's just a feeling, beautiful Miss Huo. It's not easy to compare in detail." Adriaan maintained his smile.

"Is that so?" Huo Wenxi's eyes swept the hall. "Maybe we can find a place to have a good chat. What do you think, Mr. Kewell? "— —

In the dim room, Huo Wenxi's clothes were disheveled. Her lower body was completely folded, and her forehead was covered with sweat. Her eyes were blurred as she moaned loudly under Adriaan's oppression. Even so. She still continued to move her body to cooperate with his attack. After a few times, Adriaan simply picked her up and began to tease her up and down.

Huo Wenxi's moans became even more frantic. The room's soundproofing was very good. There was no need to worry about being heard by others. At the same time, her body twisted even more. It was as if she was about to reach the peak. Finally, after being picked up by Adriaan again, she screamed and wrapped around his body like an octopus. After shaking like this for a few breaths, she finally softened.

"You're really amazing, Mr. Kewell. This is the first time I've been so happy." After Adriaan sat down, Huo Wenxi, who was soft on his body, said so.

"Oh?" Adriaan, who was gently stroking her body, raised his eyebrows. Even though she knew that her skin was flushed, Huo Wenxi's eyes were hazy. The word "satisfied" was written on her face. She didn't lie.

"Of course, no wonder Mr. Kewell is so popular. He's so good at coaxing women." Huo Wenxi said as she kissed his neck. Her infatuated appearance made it seem like she wanted more.

"You're also very good, Miss Huo." Adriaan smiled and praised. His hands moved a bit more.

As soon as they entered the room, Huo Wenxi took the initiative to kiss him. She tangled her tongue with his while taking the initiative to untie his belt. She was so bold that even She Shiman couldn't compare. She was unusually bold when she catered to him. Playing with this beautiful director of King was indeed a good choice.

"If you were also an actress, you'd definitely be much more popular than those women at the party." Adriaan continued. "What a pity."

"There's nothing to be pitiful about. How can an artist have as much power as a director?" Huo Wenxi chuckled. "I've been a manager since I was 21. I've seen a lot of things. It's still more practical to be a manager."

"That's true." Adriaan shrugged. His hands that were moving on her body wandered to the softness.

"So, now do you still think I'm a little bit worse than that woman?" Huo Wenxi's smile became more and more charming.

Adriaan was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed. This woman really wouldn't give up. He cupped her face. The lazy look after the high court made Huo Wenxi look even more seductive. Especially compared to her appearance at the banquet, it made people have a strong urge to play with her again.

"At least for now, you're better than her." Adrian said as he caressed her face with one hand and put his other hand on her thigh where her stockings were torn.

"To put it simply, you can't judge her in this aspect, right?" Huo Wenxi combed her hair behind her ear and smiled meaningfully.

Adriaan smiled and didn't say anything. Although he did have the thought, he also knew from the memory of his previous life that the best opportunity to make a move had passed. Pointing it out to Yang Shoucheng at the party was just an excuse. He just had to play with Huo Wenxi.

"Don't worry!" The beautiful female director leaned close to his ear and blew ambiguously. "You'll have a chance to compare soon."

"En?" Adriaan couldn't help but be a little surprised. She meant …

"You underestimate Mr. Yang's means and influence in Hong Kong, Mr. Kewell." Huo Wenxi giggled. "You're Mr. Yang's guest. We'll try our best to satisfy what our guest wants."

Even with Adriaan's calmness, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Coupled with Huo Wenxi licking his ear and her body twisting from time to time, he suddenly had a reaction. Huo Wenxi's eyes lit up, and she immediately slid down like a water snake. She took off her raincoat and wiped it clean. Then, she opened her mouth and began to tease him.

Adriaan immediately took a deep breath. After she blew for a while, he flipped her over and carried her on her back to begin another round of fierce battle. Even this wasn't enough. After the matter in the private room was over, they went back to the party for a while. Adriaan then brought Huo Wenxi back to the suite and continued to do it with her. Li Zi and She Shiman happened to have scenes to shoot today, so they couldn't make it.

Huo Wenxi had probably never been so satisfied. She fought with Adriaan from the bed to the living room, and from the living room to the bathroom. The next day, she woke up late in the morning.

"Fortunately, Mr. Yang gave me a day off. Otherwise, I don't know how messy today's work would be." After getting up, Huo Wenxi sighed. She still stayed in Adriaan's suite and had breakfast and lunch together. Then, the afternoon came.

"Your gift is here, Mr. Kewell." After answering a phone call, she said with a smile and then left the suite.

Adriaan raised his eyebrows. Although he had some doubts, he didn't say much. Then, Huo Wenxi came back quickly with a woman. She was wearing a long-sleeved velvet top, a short skirt, and tight-fitting pants. She gave people a feeling of vitality and sexiness, but her face was numb and a little muddle-headed. Zhu Yin.
