Chapter 811

Well, the first thing to admit was that their average age was indeed relatively low. Apart from Eva, who was a very young housewife in the original series, Vanessa and Melinda were born in '68 and' 69 respectively. Brigid was born in '70, so their average age was less than 35. She was indeed not qualified to be a housewife.

But the problem was that the popularity of a TV series did not depend on the age of the actors. As long as it was good and the audience liked it, who cared about the age of the actresses? Moreover, because these four housewives were even more glamorous and beautiful, the ratings were much higher than what Adriaan remembered, so he did not need to care about these comments at all.

Although he was the one who decided on these four roles, it did not mean that he randomly picked the actors. Just like how he won an Oscar for Best Actress, without acting skills, no matter how good the operation was, it would not be enough. Vanessa, Melinda, and Eva were all married and had experience as housewives. Although Brigid was an exception, she had also lived together for a long time.

However, the premiere episode's ratings of more than 22 million had already proved their charm, so he did not need to care about these comments at all. Similarly, as expected, the success of Lost and Desperate Housewives continued to increase Adriaan's halo in the entertainment circle. Just these two shows alone had made at least five women famous, so certain things were going a lot more smoothly.

"Good, just like that, very good!" Adriaan said loudly as he charged forward fiercely. Under him, two naked, sweaty bodies intertwined together, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

After fighting for a while, the younger girl in the middle was the first to fall to the side. Then, the woman below came up to him, but she was soon defeated again. Adriaan had no choice but to go easy on her.

"You're always so strong, Ed. Even if Ashley and I work together, we're still no match for you." After they were done, the tired Jessica Simpson leaned into his arms and said in a flattering tone. At the same time, she gently rubbed her toes against her sister, Ashley Simpson, who was sandwiched between her and Adriaan. Another pair of beautiful sisters had been put to bed by Adriaan.

"Yes!" Ashley, who had come back to her senses, quickly supported her body and said in a tone similar to her sister's, "I didn't think so before, but now that I look at him, Eide is really gentle."

"Thank you. Every woman deserves to be protected. This has always been my creed," Adrienne boasted shamelessly. She then leaned against the headboard and sat up a little.

Simpson then gave her sister a look, and Ashley immediately lay down. After she got into the mood, Jessica also did the same. Seeing the two sisters scrambling around the banana, Adriaan was satisfied and comfortable.

As the recording industry became more and more depressed, Jessica Simpson's position in the record company began to decline. She used to be behind Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, but now she was one place behind Beyoncé. However, Simpson was smart enough to know that she had to hold onto Adriaan's coattails. For a long time, she agreed to all of his requests and used his support to develop horizontally. She did very well.

Now, not only did she continue to release singles, but she also had her own reality show on ABC. The ratings were not bad, comparable to the Hilton sisters' reality show. In addition, Simpson was also planning to start her own fashion brand. So when her sister came to ask her opinion on certain things, she did not hesitate to give an affirmative answer.

Ashley Simpson was only four years younger than her sister, and she had loved dancing since she was a child. She had practiced ballet for a long time, which was what Adriaan liked the most. Her soft body could perform many difficult poses. After her sister became famous, she also planned to become a singer. She even worked as a backup dancer at her sister's concerts. Finally, because of her sister, she got a record company contract.

From the beginning, she developed horizontally, just like her sister. After releasing her first album in the first half of last year, she also played an important supporting role in "The Boys of Orange County." Yes, it was the TV series starring Hayley Duff, which depicted the lives of the children of several rich families in Orange County. The ratings were average.

The album and the TV series made Ashley popular in a short period of time and satisfied her vanity. Then, she realized that it was the result of Adriaan's attention. Although Adriaan mostly inspected the goods before paying, sometimes he did not mind paying first and inspecting the goods. In fact, the latter was the mainstream. It was like a government executive who became a consultant to a large corporation after leaving their job.

Faced with Adriaan's teasing and hints, Ashley had to turn to her sister for help. She also knew that her sister and the most powerful man in Hollywood had some ambiguous relationship. Then, with the ratings of "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" as an example, Simpson very easily allowed his sister to undress in front of him. After that, the sisters flew off together.

However, Adriaan was just playing around, just like the Hilton sisters or the Duff sisters. Otherwise, he would not have waited until now to make a move on Ashley. After all, he was the one who led her to star in "The Boys of Orange County" after her album was released last year.

The two TV series this fall had further increased his already soaring reputation and power in the industry. What kind of woman could he not play with? Perhaps in the eyes of some naive people, they were also women with personality and pride. In fact, that was indeed the case. However, personality and pride were not worth mentioning in the face of real power. As long as they wanted to make a name for themselves in Hollywood, in this Vanity Fair, they had to obediently lie on the ground and raise their butts when Adriaan wanted them.

Therefore, all kinds of different tastes and tricks were what he wanted the most right now. Unfortunately, it would take some time to get the four housewives into bed together. If he added two "daughters," it would be even more difficult.

It should be easier for Camilla Baylor. She had guest roles in various movies and TV series when she was very young, so she had more experience. On the other hand, Emma Stone had just set foot in Hollywood. If Adriaan had not accidentally discovered her resume and felt that she was somewhat similar to Melinda, he would have chosen her to play the role of one of the daughters. He would have hit a wall a few times before he understood.

Of course, this was not absolute. It still depended on their own brains, especially when compared to his previous life. But there was no need to worry too much. This was Hollywood, and this was going to completely become his territory.

Therefore, it was better to try Camilla first. Adriaan had a very good idea, and —

"You are Liu Shishi?" Adriaan looked up and down at the Asian girl in front of him. She was sitting obediently on the sofa, her neck shrunk, and her eyelids drooped. She seemed to be a little scared, but her eyes moved from time to time as if she was a little absent-minded.

"You look much cuter than in the photos," he continued with a smile, "You should have read the contract in detail, right?"

After making a sound with his nose, the girl in front of him came back to her senses in a panic. She smiled a little embarrassedly, "I... I'm sorry, Mr. Kewell. I didn't mean it... I didn't know that you... speak Chinese so well... I'm... it's my first time in the United States..."

"I understand." Adriaan smiled and raised his hand. He did not take her incoherent speech to heart. In fact, this made her look even cuter.

"It's inevitable for a person to feel timid in a foreign country, especially for a Chinese who have a strong sense of home. Plus, you are still so young, so I arranged for you to live in their house. I hope you can adapt to the environment here as soon as possible." He continued, and at the same time, he pushed the glass on the table in front of the girl. "Don't be nervous. I'm a very easy-going person, and I know China very well. You can treat me as an ordinary person."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Kewell. I'm just... a little excited." The girl named Liu Shishi smiled embarrassedly, "I really didn't expect you to choose me. This is so surprising. I don't know what to say... I haven't even brushed my teeth yet."

She even winked as she said this, looking a little proud. Adriaan could not help but laugh, "Are you so sure that I know Journey to the West?"

Hearing this, Liu Shishi was obviously stunned. After a while, she showed a look of sudden realization, and then it turned into embarrassment. It seemed that she was a little insensitive.

"Well, let's not talk about this." Adriaan raised his hand, "You can call me Adriaan or Eide, so I'll call you Shishi, okay? Very well, then let's talk about your matter. Again, have you read the contract in detail and fully understood it? "

"Yes, I've read it, and I've also asked a lawyer to read it. They all said that there's no problem." Liu Shishi, who had adjusted her emotions, immediately said. After the previous teasing, she was a lot more relaxed.

"Very good, but there is one thing I have to clarify. We will understand your life and study at any time. While providing you with sufficient needs, we will conduct some tests on you in stages. If you can't meet the requirements, we will consider replacing you," Adriaan said very seriously.

"I can definitely do it!" The girl suddenly became nervous again.

"Don't worry." Adriaan waved his hand and said, "The test will not be too difficult. As long as you work hard, there should be no problem. I also believe that you won't disappoint me. Out of all the young women that President Wang has given me, I chose you because you give me a special feeling, just like … the feeling that Yifei gave me. "

As he spoke, he raised his head and smiled at Liu Yifei, who had been sitting quietly next to Liu Shishi and had not interjected.

"Don't worry, Shishi. Since Eide said you can do it, then you can definitely do it." Liu Yifei immediately grasped Liu Shishi's hand, "I was not very confident at first, but with Eide's encouragement, I finally got the role of Zhang Qiu. So, as long as you work hard, there will definitely be no problem."

Adriaan, who was listening next to them, frowned slightly. She was a little too much, but fortunately, Liu Shishi did not notice. It seemed that being careless had its benefits.

"Are you guys done discussing?" Liu Xiaoli walked in from outside.

"Almost, what's wrong?" Adriaan asked immediately.

"I looked at the time and was about to prepare dinner. Why don't you eat here before going back?" Liu Xiaoli said with a very decent smile. She looked like an elegant lady.

"Is it already so late?" Adriaan showed a surprised expression and then stood up, "No, I have a date. I will leave Shishi in your care."

"No problem, Shishi is very sensible, and she and Qianqian get along very well." Liu Xiaoli said as she looked at her daughter and Liu Shishi, who were sitting together very intimately. "You can rest assured."

"Alright, I'll be leaving then." Adriaan nodded and then said to Liu Shishi, "In two days, I will arrange for you to be an agent, Shishi, and of course, Yifei. At that time, the company will arrange some small supporting roles in some TV series or movies based on your learning ability. You can rely on this to practice your acting skills, and at the same time, familiarize yourself with the process of Hollywood film and TV series production. "

"Thank you, Eide." Liu Shishi looked grateful.

"Let me walk you out." Liu Xiaoli said as she took down Adriaan's coat from the hanger, handed it to him, and followed him out of the room. Although she maintained her composure, after leaving the room, there was a clear look of worry on her face.

"What's wrong? Don't they get along well?" Adriaan, who noticed her expression, asked casually.

"How could that be?" Liu Xiaoli forced a smile and said, "Didn't you tell her that Qianqian is very obedient? That Shi 'shi has only been here for one day and they have already become good friends."

"Then what are you worried about?" Adriaan chuckled, "Isn't it good for Qianqian to have a partner?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli was more or less relieved, but she didn't completely let it go. She frowned slightly, until a hand was placed on her waist.

"What do you think about letting Liu Shishi recognize you as her godmother?" Adriaan asked with a very serious expression, as if he didn't mean anything else.

Although Liu Xiaoli didn't react for a moment, a few seconds later, she beamed with joy, "No problem. I think Shishi is pretty good. She will definitely get along well with us."

In the end, there was only one thing she was worried about, and that was whether she and her daughter would fall out of favor. After all, everything they had now depended on him. However, Liu Xiaoli was still a little petty. Yi Fei didn't think about this at all. When Liu Shishi went upstairs to look for something, Adriaan pulled Yi Fei into his arms and touched her, she asked, "Uncle, will you eat her soon?"

The reason why Liu Yifei asked this was because Liu Shishi was staying at their home in Los Angeles. That way, it would be a little troublesome for her to serve Adriaan. If he ate her, she would naturally be able to be intimate with him openly. Simply put, Liu Yifei didn't even think about what to do if she fell out of favor. She even hoped that Liu Shishi would be taken care of as soon as possible, and that she would be able to compete with her in bed. From this point, it could be seen that Adriaan's training was very successful.

So he told her not to worry, that there were many places in Los Angeles where she could show herself. For example, his office, his mansion, the changing rooms of big shopping malls, the restrooms of theaters, bars, and so on.

Well, the whole thing was like this. When Adriaan was considering Camilla's situation, he came up with a very good idea that would help him further expand into the China market. Especially under the current circumstances, Battlestar Galactica had an important role in Gao Yuanyuan. Coupled with the fact that the quality of the show was good, and the marketing was also on point, the ratings in the mainland were quite good.

Coupled with the launch of the two video websites owned by AC Media, although Adriaan really wanted to use his original name, after careful consideration, he changed it to Sweet Pea and Yaku. Both websites broadcast American dramas. The difference was that Sweet Pea's were all genuine, purchased at a low price. The quality was good, but there were very few of them. Yaku, on the other hand, was all pirated. There was a wide variety of shows, but the quality was average.

He was competing with himself and making his own pirated version. This was a kind of investment. But it didn't matter. As long as he could expand into the China market, Adriaan was just repeating what he had done in the past. American dramas and Win were different. Win was a necessary program for the computer, but American dramas were not.

Once again, reality proved that this was the right approach. At least the influence of American dramas among Chinese netizens was rapidly increasing, especially since they were all original. Sweet Pea, whose click rate was starting to fall behind Yaku, was starting to get frustrated. But Adriaan had already made preparations. On one hand, he increased the output of the original dramas and further lowered the cost. On the other hand, he ordered them to stick with it for four to five years.

Fortunately, Sweet Pea and Yaku were better than YouTube in that they could make money through advertising. YouTube needed to occupy the global market, so they were very careful in this regard. Sweet Pea and Yaku, on the other hand, did not have to worry about that. They only needed to occupy the mainland market, so naturally, they did not have to think too much about it.

In short, because of the different environment, and a series of backup plans, they were able to maintain the current situation. Then, Adriaan planned to add fuel to the fire after Gao Yuanyuan. So, he asked the Wang brothers to find a young girl with good dance skills. He would be very useful to her.

The other party basically agreed to all his requests. After all, the Wang brothers were proud of China's AC Media, so they quickly contacted Bei Wu. After a little bit of effort, they were able to gather a lot of information. When the girls learned that they could go to Hollywood and go to USC as exchange students, their eyes all lit up. Of course, the smart Wang brothers knew what to do and what not to do.

Then, Adriaan picked Liu Shishi. Yes, that Liu Shishi. As for the reason, her facial features were somewhat similar to Liu Yifei's. When they were together, they looked very interesting and pleasing to the eye. It just so happened that Liu Yifei had graduated from high school in England. So, Adriaan asked her to come to USC to attend university. After all, her future career was going to be in Hollywood. She had only become a British citizen because of the Harry Potter series.

Under such circumstances, Liu Xiaoli naturally had to come over to take care of her daughter. So, he arranged for Liu Shishi to live in their house, which led to the previous scene.

On the way back, Adriaan thought with a smile, "Let's see how things go."

However, Liu Shishi had to spend at least a year to adapt to life in the United States and learn how to perform here. She had plenty of time. So, it was better to solve the problem at hand first. Yes, it was that problem. At the end of September, Bridge of Wonderland, starring little Emma, was released.
