Chapter 740

In the dark room, a seductive body was lying under a strong body. The sweat all over her body and the long breaths from time to time showed the aftertaste of passion. But at this moment, that beautiful body was trembling slightly. The beautiful woman was looking at the man who was hugging her through the darkness with a surprised and uncertain gaze.

"Are … are you serious, Eide?" Monica asked incredulously. She reached out and touched Adriaan's face, and then shrank back as if she had been electrocuted, as if she was afraid that she would wake up at the slightest touch.

After Adriaan rejected her, Monica believed Adriaan at first. After all, he said it so sincerely, but as time went by, he never mentioned it again, and Monica, who was a little disappointed, thought he was rejecting her at that time. So she never made the same request again. Although she was still at ease as Adriaan's woman, the feeling of regret inevitably made her feel depressed, especially when she knew that Lily was growing up. Unexpectedly, just tonight, Adriaan suddenly made it clear that he wanted to give her a child. How could Monica not be surprised and suspicious?

"Of course it's true." Adriaan smiled and lowered his head to kiss her collarbone. "I never forget my promise to my woman."

He stroked Monica's face lovingly. "I said that I want the world to recognize you, and I want you to win the Oscar for Best Actress. It was also because of this reason that I delayed it before. Now, I'm ready for you. As long as you complete these smoothly, I can naturally put my promise into action. "

"Eide … Oh … Eide …" Monica called his name in a low voice, and the deep darkness couldn't stop the shining light in her eyes.

"I wanted to wait until the movie was finished before telling you, but I accidentally offended you today, so I had to tell you in advance." Adriaan smiled and kissed her again.

This kiss immediately brought a warm response from Monica. She hugged Adriaan and blocked his mouth, and began to entangle with him with her greatest enthusiasm, as if she couldn't express her excitement if she didn't do this. Then, she turned over and sat on Adriaan. She pressed one hand on his chest, and the other hand grabbed the thing that hadn't softened yet. Even in the dark, her rapid breathing could still be heard.

"Aren't you dying, my dear?" Adrian, who was lying on his back on the bed, asked with a grin.

"Now I'm … well rested." Monica said with a trembling voice. Then, she lifted her butt and slowly sat back down.

"Really?" Adriaan continued to smile, and then gently shook his lower body. "So urgent? What if I get pregnant during the filming? "

"That's your problem." Monica bit her lip and said, then grabbed his hands and placed them on her pair of full breasts that didn't droop at all. She began to slowly shake up and down, and the frequency gradually increased with her breathing and moans. In the end, the bed below was creaking like before.

Adriaan didn't expect that the matter of the child would make Monica burst out with such enthusiasm. Since this was the case, how could he hold back? So in the end, only Adriaan appeared on the set the next day.

"I gave her a call. She's not feeling well today, so she asked for leave. We can shoot the other parts first." Adriaan said to everyone without changing his expression.

After confirming his promise, Monica's demand could only be described as crazy. If it weren't for the previous two times that had consumed most of her physical strength, she might have tossed and turned until dawn, with the intention of squeezing him dry. Even with Adriaan's strong physique that could handle a 1v3, he felt a little tired at the end of her excessive demand. However, Monica couldn't get up at all.

"Crazy woman." Although Adriaan muttered in private, he was still very happy. First, it was because of her desire for a child and to be a mother. Second, from this moment on, she had completely become his.

And this was not without its benefits. Although Monica, who was full of spring, returned to the set after a day, after five NGs, she passed the difficult scene that she couldn't pass for three days before! Moreover, it was very brilliant. Just on the set, one could already feel the kind of vague love that could only be understood but not expressed in words. Adriaan believed that as long as the post-production was completed, this scene would definitely attract a lot of people.

"Congratulations, Monica. Not only did you complete this scene, but you also did it very well." Adriaan immediately gave her a hug after shooting.

"Thank you. It's not easy to get your praise, Eide. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I'll get a similar reprimand as for the other day." Monica replied teasingly with her eyes curved, and then gave him a kiss in public.

Regarding her bold behavior, Adriaan immediately gave a response. Now, it was not that these people couldn't guess their relationship. As for revealing it to the gossip tabloids? Anyway, similar gossip about intimate relationships with the female lead on the set had appeared countless times in the tabloids. It didn't matter if there was one more. Moreover, Monica was one of the miracle girls. In short, it didn't matter if there were no photos, and none of these staff were stupid enough to secretly take photos with their cameras.

Therefore, most people pretended to be indifferent to their intimacy. Only the Italian boy, David Marino, showed a look of heartbreak. It was no wonder that Monica's mature temperament was very lethal to young people, just like the lethality of a mature man to a young girl.

However, this made Marino's acting skills better. In the following shooting, he portrayed the vague feeling of the male lead losing his soul because of Marlena very well.

"Did you see that, Monica? You're really charming." Adriaan teased his woman more than once, but Monica always smiled and did not answer.

After the craziness that night, she did not continue to work hard. Although she said that it was Adriaan's fault that her pregnancy delayed the shooting, in fact, it was impossible to do so. It was not that Monica did not know the priorities of the matter. Besides, this was the film that Adriaan prepared for her after she won the Oscars. How could she waste his painstaking efforts? Moreover, she should save her energy and essence for the most likely pregnancy, shouldn't she?

"La Belle Sicilienne" was filmed slowly. Adriaan did not expect to produce it this year. After all, "Shakespeare in Love" and "Elizabeth" had not been released yet. However, in addition to directing the new film, he also took some time to deal with other things.

It was not Universal integration, which was completely left to Claude. He only kept track of the progress through the documents sent by Charlize from time to time. It was not the hype of "Blair the Witch" either. Although the website had been set up and all kinds of rumors had begun to spread, he had already left the whole thing to the two guys. There was no need for him to interfere. Otherwise, how could the company grow on its own? It was not to accompany little Emma to wander around. With the arrival of September, she had to return to England to prepare for school. When the little girl left, she deliberately said that this was the worst vacation she had ever had in the United States. Of course, Adriaan knew that she actually said that deliberately, so he did not take it to heart.

In fact, it was not a big deal. Do you still remember the TV series that Cameron had recommended? After they used the limited funds provided by Adriaan to produce the demo, Adriaan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately said that they could shoot it. Cameron, who happened to be on vacation, also returned to Los Angeles, so he dragged him along to discuss the matter with the producer of the TV series.

Cameron received a large sum of dividends from "Titanic," so naturally, he did what he wanted to do, such as deep-sea diving. It was said that he went to the Pacific Ocean with the Russian explorer who had been entrusted to help operate the diving robot to observe the wreckage of the Titanic. The old man had been friends with him when he was filming "The Abyss." Coupled with the fact that they had worked together on a super blockbuster, their friendship was quite deep.

However, there was also something that made him unhappy. Linda Hamilton, the actress who played John Connor's mother in the two "Terminator" movies, finally chose to break up with Cameron after living with him for so long. As for the reason, Cameron did not say, and Adriaan did not ask. This kind of breaking up and reuniting was all too common in Hollywood.

"I'm glad that they finally accepted my setting. I'm much more at ease now." After discussing with the producer, the TV series that would be handed over to Universal began to prepare. Adriaan found time to say this to Cameron.

"I really don't know what you're worried about, Eide. It's just a TV series." Cameron still felt that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Naturally, he was talking about the background of the TV series. Under Adriaan's insistence, the producer had to remove the original setting where the United States lost control of most of its territory after being attacked by terrorists. At the same time, the name of the TV series was changed to "Doomsday Dark Angel" because of his suggestion.

"I'm not worried, James. It's always better to be prepared. You know, that damn political correctness always takes precedence. Just like how you can't let Arnold fail to prevent the nuclear explosion." Adriaan shrugged, then waved his hand and changed the topic. "Okay, let's talk about something else. What do you think about the casting?"

As he spoke, he waved the thick stack of documents in his hand.

"Well … Although I haven't seen them live, according to the situation shown in the videotape, there are still a few good young people," Cameron said after taking the documents and flipping through them.

"Really? Let's hear it. "Adriaan showed a look of interest.

"This one, this one, and this one." Cameron didn't hesitate and picked out the actors that he thought highly of.

"The first one has a good appearance, but her eyes were a little crooked when she said the second line; the second one's appearance and acting skills are acceptable, but her temperament is a little too gloomy; the third one … Don't you think she's a little short?" Adriaan commented one by one, then asked, "This is for the male lead, what about the female lead?"

"They're all about the same. The TV series needs a girl with a bit of wildness, and it's best if she has a good figure." Cameron thought about it and took out five female lead candidates. "These five."

"They're all about the same. But I think this one is suitable, "Adriaan flipped through them and took out one.

"This one?" Taking the documents, Cameron suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"She's not beautiful, but she has a healthy and sunny feeling, and the appearance of a mixed-race is a good match for the genetic hybrid set for the female lead. Although she was a little absent-minded in the audition video, I'm very optimistic about her, and … she has a good figure." Adriaan smiled and shrugged.

"What does mixed blood and mixed genes have to do with each other?" Cameron retorted with a sneer. "But she does look good. Maybe she can participate in the next audition — wait, don't tell me you like her, Eide?"

Cameron put down the heavy documents in his hands and looked at Adriaan with interest. The faint smile on his face made Adriaan quite unhappy. Although everyone knew, there was no need to be so explicit, right?

"She's only 16, James," Adriaan reminded him.

"So what?" Cameron shrugged indifferently. "Two years will pass quickly. Besides, it doesn't have to be in California."

"Are you itching for a beating, James?" Adriaan stood up and pinched his fingers at the same time, making a ferocious look.

"What? Do you want to silence me? " Although Cameron was still joking, he quickly changed the topic. "Well, you're the investor. I won't interfere with your casting."

"Really?" Adriaan looked at him. "You're the producer."

"Producer?" Cameron looked up in surprise. "When did I become the producer of this TV series?"

"Just now. Why, do you want to refuse?" Adriaan smiled and crossed his arms.

"Wait, you want me, the super director, the king of the world, to produce a sci-fi TV series?!" Cameron deliberately made an exaggerated gesture.

"So what? Steven has already agreed to be the producer of a TV series about World War II. Why can't you take the same position in a sci-fi TV series? "Adriaan asked calmly." Or do you want to tell me that you already have a contract? "

"Of course not." Cameron shook his head.

"Really? I heard that Fox is interested in producing Terminator 3. "Adriaan chuckled and pursued.

"That's impossible. I won't be the director. For me, the story of Terminator is over in the second part. You should have seen the director's cut." Cameron continued to shake his head. Then he sighed gloomily. "Although a lot of people have come to me and said that I have the final say on the set, I'm not interested at all. You know, I always like to perfect all kinds of work in the early stage, especially technical problems. If I don't get a good grasp of it before I start, I won't be able to sleep for days. Without a few months or even a few years, how can I produce such outstanding works? But what are those invitations for? Damn it! "

"Don't worry, you'll be useful soon, buddy. Don't forget, you're the king of the world." Adriaan patted him on the shoulder to comfort him. "Don't worry, I've already prepared a movie for you in the future."

"Oh?"

"A movie about a robot, a big robot."

"A big robot? Can you be more specific? "

"Sorry, not now. Let's wait." Facing Cameron's interested eyes, Adriaan spread his hands. "You should settle the TV series first."

"Okay, okay. I knew it. I can't escape your control." Cameron muttered and then stood up. "Then let's do it this way. Even if Steven can be the producer of the World War II TV series that you invested in, I can also be the producer of the sci-fi TV series that you invested in."

Saying that, he shrugged and turned to leave the room. Adriaan laughed and then picked up the documents on the table. The girl's upper body came into view again. Her facial features were mixed, and her smile was sunny and sweet. She might not be beautiful now, but she would be different in a few years. Next to it was her name: Jessica Alba.

Looking at the photo, a smile appeared at the corner of Adriaan's mouth, and his fingers slowly tapped on the table.

Although there were many outstanding TV series on its wireless and cable TV stations, especially "Friends," which immediately brought high ratings after it was transferred to ABC, "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "CSI" also had loyal audiences, not to mention "Sex and the City" and "The Sopranos," but the TV series that needed to be produced still had to be produced. No one would think that having more good TV series was a bad thing.

Therefore, "Band of Brothers" began to be put on the schedule after the acquisition of Universal. When Spielberg got the script of "Saving Private Ryan" from Adriaan, he promised to be the producer of this TV series. Naturally, he would not go back on his word. Moreover, his old company, Universal, was the middleman, so Adriaan simply pulled Hanks in. After all, the original version was produced by them.

Then "Doomsday Black Angel" was also put on the schedule. Since the original version was insisted on by Cameron, and since Spielberg had agreed to produce "Band of Brothers," how could he not be involved? Think about it, when it was announced that two famous directors would be the producers of a TV series produced by AC Media at the same time, how many people would be attracted to it?

But now it was all in preparation, and it was still too early to even start shooting, let alone broadcast. Therefore, Adriaan only asked about some things and confirmed some basic things. Most of his time was still spent on the shooting of "La Belle Legend of Sicily." Although the progress was not very fast, by late September, the indoor scenes were basically completed. Then the crew moved to Siracusa, Italy, where they began shooting the outdoor scenes.
