The year 1991 was finally over. After spending Christmas Eve with his godfather, Adriaan took Kate back to London to fulfill his promise with little Emma. But this time, he took care of Kate's feelings. After staying with the little girl for six days, they went to Paris with the excuse of going back to Los Angeles.
Of course, when they parted, the little girl still eagerly asked him to set a time for their next visit. Although he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking of this year's plan, Adriaan comforted her and gave her a time.
"Actually, if she didn't ignore me so much, I could visit her more often," Kate said when they accidentally mentioned the little girl on the Champs-Elysees Avenue.
But then Adriaan teased her, "Please note, miss, you're studying in California now."
Kite, who was at a loss for words, could only roll her eyes at him in rebuke.
The two then went to Luxembourg and the Netherlands. After spending the New Year's holiday in Europe, they returned to New York. As usual, Adriaan was going to visit his uncle, but he didn't know if he should bring Kate with him. After all, his uncle's temper wasn't easy to bear.
However, Kite insisted on going. "You've already met my family. Can't I meet your family? If you're worried about your uncle's temper, I can bear it. "
In that case, after reminding him of some things to pay attention to and rehearsing in the hotel, Adriaan took Kate to his uncle's house. Fortunately, the whole visit went smoothly. Although his uncle still kept a straight face and still spoke in a lecturing tone, he was much better than before. He didn't show any dislike or kindness to Kate.
His aunt liked Kate very much and kept asking her questions. But when she talked about how she and Adriaan met, her uncle snorted. Only Adriaan, who was sitting closest to him, heard it.
"I hope you know what you're doing, Eide!" In a private conversation, Anderson said to Adriaan, "There are many good girls on the Upper East Side. Don't always focus on those … people."
Hearing this, Adriaan shrugged his shoulders, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he didn't say anything. Alright, at least his uncle didn't use those disgusting words, which meant that he still considered his feelings. Let Uncle think whatever he wants. It's not like I don't know what I want.
After staying in New York for about three days, on January 6th, Adriaan and Kate returned to Los Angeles. After relaxing, it was natural for them to start working on post-production again. The film industry during the holidays appeared to be calm. Although many movies were screened alternately, the disintegration of the Red Empire had attracted the attention of most people.
On December 25th, the Ge family announced their resignation. After more than 60 years, the Red, White, and Blue flags were raised in the Kremlin once again. The Red Empire became history.
This had an unimaginable impact on the people of the Western world. After so many years of confrontation, the Red Empire suddenly disintegrated. It was hard for people to accept it. In the studio, Adriaan heard many employees discussing this. All this while, these employees rarely asked about politics and were not very enthusiastic about things like voting in elections. Now, they had the time to discuss the reason for the Red Empire's disintegration and what kind of impact it would bring. One could imagine how great the waves this matter would cause.
However, Adriaan didn't care about this. Occasionally, when someone asked him, he would only say a few words. He focused on editing the post-production of "Understanding Women by Scent." Building a huge empire was not an easy task. Even knowing the future did not mean that he could act without any scruples. He had to be careful when he needed to be, and he had to be decisive when he needed to be.
Even so, such a rapid development that relied on tricks to bring huge benefits would also cause many problems. Once it was not handled well, it would gradually worsen, and collapse would happen in an instant. Therefore, everything he was doing now was to lay the foundation for the future empire. Every time he hammered down, the foundation would become stronger, and it would be even stronger when it was attacked.
After the middle of January, the post-production of "Understanding Women by Scent" was finally completed. The presentation of this movie was standard, and there was not much to pay attention to in terms of editing techniques. Therefore, the task was completed in advance. It was just that Adriaan couldn't help but sigh at the computer editing because it was too inconvenient to use these equipment.
After the editing was completed, he could let go of it. The subtitles, soundtrack, and so on could be left to someone else to synthesize. Then, Laffern looked for Adriaan to talk about the publicity work for this movie. However, the CEO did not expect to get such an answer.
"According to my idea, this movie will be released at the end of this year, so there is no need to rush to start the publicity. We can talk about it after a while," Adriaan said as he gestured.
Laffern raised his eyebrows in surprise. After pondering for a few minutes, he said, "Because of the Oscars?"
"Yes, we all know that there is an advantage in releasing it at the end of the year. Since this movie is originally aiming for the Oscars, it is okay to delay it by a year." Adriaan spread his hands. "Although this will lead to an increase in costs, I believe you can earn back the increased costs through publicity, right?"
"You really trust me, Eide." Laffern's tone was slightly helpless.
"Of course I trust you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed over the public relations task of" The Shawshank Redemption "to you, Laffer." Adriaan said with a smile.
Laffern was silent for a long time, and then showed a strange smile. "Well, then put this movie away first. However, I am very curious, Eide. Since you have decided to release this movie at the end of the year, why are you still in a hurry to finish the post-production? "
The smile on Adriaan's face immediately froze. After staring at Laffern for a long time, he finally lowered his head and shook his head with a wry smile. "Well, I was negligent."
Looking at his depressed look, Laffern, who had always been a serious middle-aged man, could not help but laugh. Obviously, because of the previous three high-intensity movies, Adriaan was used to editing it immediately after shooting. In addition, there were many things to pay attention to, so he did not think much when producing "To Know A Woman by Scent." As a result, it became such an awkward situation.
"Alright, Lafferne, stop laughing. What's so funny? Haven't you had this problem before?" Adrian sighed and looked at Lafferne, who was laughing non-stop behind the desk. "That's enough, Lafferne.
"I can't stop laughing, Eide. You have always been full of confidence. I can't believe you would make such a mistake." Laffern shook his head, trying to hold back his laughter, but it seemed that he was about to fail.
Adriaan raised his hands. "Well, let's talk about the new movie now."
"Oh my god! Another new movie! Don't you ever get tired?! "This time, it was Laffern's smile that froze on his face.
