Chapter 790

"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. It's great that you like reality." Peter Jackson, who was surrounded by the crowd, responded happily to the congratulatory voices. The theater had just finished playing a movie he directed and produced. It was a remake of the classic 1930s blockbuster, "King Kong", with an investment of nearly 200 million!

"Look at him, surrounded by praises, he's like a different person." Adriaan, who was standing in the distance, joked with Naomi.

"Are you jealous?" Naomi asked with a smile. Her mischievous look was very cute. "Or are you starting to regret that you should have directed this movie yourself?"

"Come on, dear, do I really need it?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows and then whispered in her ear, "Looks like I should teach you a lesson when we go back tonight."

Naomi glanced at him coquettishly and didn't say anything, but there was a flash of imperceptible depression between her eyebrows.

"How do you feel, Peter? Not bad, right?" After the crowd dispersed, Adriaan walked in front of Jackson and high-fived him with a smile.

"Thank you, Eide. You've already fulfilled one of my dreams, and now you've fulfilled another one. I don't know what to say." Peter Jackson, who had slightly trimmed his hair and beard and lost a lot of weight, said sincerely. His eyes behind the lenses were shining.

As mentioned before, although this version of "King Kong" had a lot of flaws, it was much better than the original, especially the pace. Under Adriaan's reminder, the plot was controlled to about 2 hours and 30 minutes. The time when King Kong revealed his true colors was much earlier, and the scenes where he fought with the dinosaurs were exceptionally exciting. Although the part where he fought with the plane in the Empire State Building was slightly distorted — which was unavoidable — the atmosphere was rendered very well. No wonder so many people praised it at the end.

However, Adriaan still underestimated the influence of "King Kong".

"A wonderful and great work. The gorgeous and imaginative images have revitalized this once classic work. Peter Jackson, who once served as an assistant and assistant director in 'The Lord of the Rings', has proven his ability." This was an article on the website of "Hollywood Reporter," and there were many other media praising it.

Of course, there were also criticisms. A film critic bluntly said that this movie was nothing but special effects. He was very doubtful that Jackson could still make movies without special effects, but in general, most of them were praising it. Interestingly, some people said that Jackson only learned the use of special effects from "Lord of the Rings," but he didn't learn how to tell a story, which was really …

"I didn't expect that," Adrian said as he ate his breakfast and flipped through the newspaper.

He knew that the original version had a good reputation. It was just that the pace was too slow and long, which made the audience very impatient. That was why the reaction in this aspect was not very good. But because of Adriaan's interference, this problem was greatly alleviated, and the response was naturally much better than the original version. In addition, most importantly, Jackson didn't have the glory that "Lord of the Rings" brought him, so the audience didn't have high expectations of him. Therefore, "King Kong" easily surpassed this point, and its popularity naturally far exceeded the original version.

There was no doubt that, starting from "King Kong", there would be a wave of remakes in Hollywood. In fact, there was no difference between this and Hong Kong. Once there was a popular theme, everyone would rush to film it. The difference was that Hollywood had a perfect business operation. Even if they wanted to squeeze out the last bit of profit, they would do it step by step, unlike Hong Kong, which always wanted to squeeze out the last bit of profit in the shortest time possible.

Moreover, there was a perfect film industry system here, which could always capture what the audience wanted to see. Even if they squeezed out the last bit of profit, there would be enough left to create a new wave of popularity in the future. This was the difference.

"What didn't you expect?" Naomi came to the restaurant yawning and happened to hear his words, so she asked casually.

"How enthusiastic the response was." Adriaan took a long breath and then changed the topic, "Speaking of which, the young man who plays the screenwriter, who has the same name as me, seems to be good. I think I can cooperate with him in a movie."

"Really?" Naomi, who was pouring a glass of milk for herself, smiled and thought for a moment, "He is indeed a good actor. Since you are so good at talking about him, he must be even better."

Then she frowned, "What about Nicole?"

"Well … She … is not here at the moment …" Adriaan answered hesitantly, but then he took a deep breath. Naomi, who immediately understood, couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Please, can you not do this?"

"Of course not." Nicole's voice sounded from under the table, and she came out naked. With a charming smile, she hurriedly spread her legs and sat on Adriaan's body.

"After a night's rest, this should be the most active time, and the probability will be higher." Nicole leaned back on the long table, her hands grabbed the edge of the table, licked the corner of her mouth, and swayed her lower body.

"I've never heard of this before. I'm starting to worry if I will get stomach ulcers if this continues." Adriaan put aside the newspaper in his hand, and although he said so, the expression on his face was obviously very good.

"Shut up, Eide, or I will kiss you." Nicole sneered and opened her mouth, sticking out her tongue in the air. Adriaan suddenly stopped talking and began to move his lower body, and then he let out a long breath at the top.

Nicole screamed happily, and then she held on tightly, as if all the hope was instilled in her. Naomi, who saw all of this, first rolled her eyes, and then went straight to the kitchen.

After Megan's unexpected pregnancy, Zeta Jones and Nicole, who didn't pay much attention, suddenly seemed to have changed. Whenever they had the chance, they would make love to Adriaan, as if they couldn't wait to have a big belly the next day, just like this morning. After all, during the threesome last night, every time, Adriaan left it to Nicole, and many of his tricks didn't work.

But this wasn't a big deal, and from another perspective, it was also a good thing. Their behavior was enough to explain a lot of problems. However, Adriaan always felt that being manipulated by them like this, he really seemed to be … similar to what Gwyneth said, and this didn't make him very happy.

"Hey, Naomi, why did you leave just now?" After cleaning up, Nicole picked up her pajamas from under the table and went back to her room, Adriaan went to the kitchen.

"If I didn't leave, did I have to watch you two make love in the dining room early in the morning?" Naomi snorted without looking back.

"Oh? Haven't you seen it like this before? " Adriaan laughed, hugged her from behind, and kissed her deeply on the back of her neck, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Do you know what I heard?" He chuckled in a low voice, "A little bit of … jealousy hidden in the complaint."

As he spoke, his hands moved from her waist to her lower abdomen, and he even touched it meaningfully.

Naomi didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, she turned around, "If I also want to …"

"No problem." Adriaan agreed without waiting for her to finish. "As long as you want, you can do it anytime."

Naomi breathed a sigh of relief and then lowered her eyes, and there was a flash of depression in her eyes that was similar to the night of the premiere. Then Adriaan whispered in her ear, "Do you think this means that I have no plans to make you the Best Actress Oscar in the next few years, so you are a little disappointed, Naomi?"

Hearing this, Naomi couldn't help but be shocked. She looked up at him, opened her mouth as if she wanted to defend herself, but in the end, she didn't say anything. She just turned her head to the side, which was a tacit agreement.

"Fool!" Adriaan laughed, moved in front of her, and took a deep breath in her hair, "Naomi, do you think this is the right time to get this glory?"

"The right time?" Naomi was a little puzzled. Adriaan didn't say anything else. He just looked at her, waiting for her to think about it. Some things could only be understood by letting her think about it herself.

Naomi was confused for a few minutes, and then she looked enlightened. She wasn't a fool. She was just blinded by something for a while, and when he removed it for her, she naturally understood. Adriaan had helped his woman to the top of the Oscars for several years in a row. If this continued, he didn't need to guess what kind of reaction the public would have. At that time, even if she won the award based on her ability, she would be infinitely magnified by others.

So, if she didn't want to be stared at by the public, wouldn't it be better to wait for Adriaan to take a break for a few years before trying again?

"Two or three years. Trust me, Naomi, you will get the glory you deserve." Adriaan was right.

"Two or three years. Trust me, Naomi, you will get the glory you deserve." Adriaan had a reason to say so.

"I … I'm sorry, Eide." Naomi said shamefully, "I just … I just …"

Hearing this, Naomi couldn't help but sigh faintly. She bit her lip, looked at him, and nodded her head gently, "You have … terrible possessiveness."

"Yes, I have always been the object that psychologists want to analyze the most." Adrian said in a helpless and self-deprecating tone, which successfully made Naomi chuckle.

The two stared at each other for a while. Finally, Naomi let out a long sigh and smiled, "It's okay, this is my own choice. Although I always think a lot when you're not around, whenever you're in front of me, these thoughts will disappear, so …"

"Then don't think about it." Adriaan smiled and held her in his arms, kissing her forehead gently, "However, you may have to wait a little. You know, Nicole and … plus … I will be too busy."

"I know!" Naomi, who was annoyed and amused, immediately gave him a punch, but all the previous things disappeared.

Saying sorry too often would lose its meaning, so after Naomi said that, Adriaan didn't say anything. As long as she still wanted to stay by his side, she would naturally straighten out everything in her heart. Of course, the truth was as he expected. However, there were indeed a lot of women around him. Even if Adrian used various methods to balance the relationship between them, favoritism would still happen occasionally. For example, when Little Emma acted like a spoiled child and asked him to go over to her, he basically never rejected her.

But then again, as long as he maintained his current power, he didn't have to worry too much. He just had to focus on running the business. Of course, he did have to restrain himself and have more friendly matches. He also couldn't stop when it was time to chase after women. Just like what he said shamelessly, women were the source of his inspiration. So-

"What do you think? I told you, she is very suitable for this role. " After a young girl came out from the inner room, Adriaan said to Michael Neville, the British director who was in charge of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

She was wearing a blue-gray silk costume, which was the school uniform designed by the "Harry Potter" crew for France's Bubba Barton Academy. The costume designer spent a lot of effort and drew several plans before deciding on it. The design of the uniform was naturally very good. It set off the young girl's graceful figure and showed off her elegant temperament. It also had a hint of magic. It was quite good.

"Yes, you are very good at judging people, especially women," Neville said jokingly. He then stood up and stretched out his hand to the girl. "Welcome to the 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' crew, Miss Bourquin."

Louise Bourquin, this was the 22-year-old French girl that Adriaan had personally chosen to play the role of Fleur Dracul in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Because Adriaan had asked for a wider age limit, and because the crew had started building up momentum for the audition early, Louise Bourquin, who was about to graduate, had participated and passed the first three rounds by luck. Then, her information was seen by Adriaan.

Adriaan didn't think too much about it at first. He only asked about the casting because he wanted to find a Fleur Dracul who was more suitable for the original work. He had originally considered Eva Green, but she had already become famous last year and relied on Bertolucci's movies. The parents would not like such an actress to play this role. And looking at her photos, if she didn't dress up, she would look good, but if she had thick eyeshadow, she would look very scary, and Adriaan lost his appetite.

Looking at Louise Bourkun's information again at this time gave her some vague impressions. After carefully searching through her memory, she was able to confirm it. So, Louise successfully passed through the layers of selection and got the role.

"Congratulations, Louise. I'm looking forward to seeing your performance on the big screen." Adriaan was the last to congratulate the young girl.

"Thank you, Eide. Thank you for your support. I'm very, very grateful." Louise smiled charmingly.

"Next, take a good rest for a while, and then start preparing. We'll start shooting after the summer at the latest." Adriaan said, then thought of something and asked, "Are you going back now?"

"No, my flight is tomorrow afternoon." Louise was a little puzzled.

"Oh? I wonder if I have the honor of inviting you to dinner, Miss Louise Bourquin? "Adriaan said immediately.

Louise was obviously stunned for a moment, and her face showed some uncertainty. After more than ten seconds, the smile returned to her face.

"I'm very happy to have received your invitation, Eide," she said.

You see, it's very simple, isn't it? Adriaan thought happily. Since Louise came to London for the interview, he had met her several times, and he constantly encouraged her.

"You have to know, Louise, I have high hopes for you, so don't let me down," he always said, and Louise was always very grateful.

But Adriaan did this not only to gain her gratitude, but also to observe her, to see what kind of girl she was. As for the results, needless to say, as she got closer to her goal, Louise gradually understood how much Adriaan had helped her, and became more affectionate towards him. So when he sent her an invitation today, she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Hi, Valerie, it's me. Yes, it's confirmed. I'll be playing Fleur Dracul in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!" Back at the hotel, Louise excitedly called her friend. "Yes, yes, I'm going to be famous! I'm going to be famous!! "

Speaking of this, she fell on the bed and danced with joy, even if her friend was pouring cold water on her.

"Yes, I know, it's just a movie, but you'll never guess what happens next," Louise said proudly. "Remember what I told you? That miracle director has always been very supportive of me, and today he asked me if I would like to have dinner with him! Oh God, this is an invitation from the miracle director! You're right, Valerie, you're right, he likes me. I'll seize this opportunity, I will! Thank you for reminding me! Thank you! "

After that, she made a loud kissing sound into the phone, then hung up the phone amid her friend's envious tone. She went to the dressing mirror and began to think about what would be suitable for her to wear at night. If necessary, she might as well rent a beautiful dress and dress herself up beautifully. Who wouldn't want to be invited by the miracle director?

There was no need to elaborate on what happened after that. Adriaan had enough time to taste this French girl, but his free time in London was not much, it all depended on … someone's mood.

"I really want to be able to move out." After getting up, Little Emma went downstairs to say hello to her aunt and had breakfast. After returning to her room, she picked up the photo on the table and muttered.

This was a photo from this year's birthday trip. She was sitting on Adriaan's lap and twisting incessantly, while Adriaan looked depressed. This was taken before that night. At that time, he must have been very conflicted, right? Every time she thought of this, Little Emma couldn't help but feel very proud, but …

She sighed and simply took out her phone. "I said I was in London for the casting, but I didn't even come once in two days. This is too much!"
