Chapter 891

Adriaan liked Alissanda, not only because of her appearance, figure and hearty smile, but also because she was self-aware. She also knew what she could do, and would work hard without hesitation.

Frankly speaking, at first, she wasn't very enthusiastic. In fact, she was even worse than Miranda. After all, because of the previous cover scandal, Miranda had a strong desire to become a top model. She might not have realized it herself, but Adriaan, who was good at reading people's minds, could definitely see it. So, he easily kept Miranda by his side.

Alissanda, on the other hand, just wanted to be a famous and outstanding model. So, becoming a top model was already far beyond her expectations. However, when Adriaan presented her with the business plan, Alissanda finally agreed, even though she hesitated for a long time.

She didn't have much talent when it came to managing a brand. In the beginning, everything was decided by the team behind her. All she had to do was make a good brand. However, Alissanda worked very hard to learn and study. Adriaan also constantly encouraged her to improve as much as possible. So, in the end, even though she was only a manager, she did a good job.

Alissanda made full use of her advantages to promote her brand. Even though she had to manage her own brand, she never missed out on her work as a model. So, very soon, "professionalism" became her label. With the cooperation of the media, it became a well-known fact. It played a considerable role in promoting her brand. It could be said that she was able to establish and develop her own brand, not entirely because of Adriaan.

As mentioned before, Adriaan admired capable and hardworking women. Although Alissanda wasn't very enthusiastic at first, she worked hard to become a top model. Plus, he admired her style during her business. So, when he saw that she had the intention to leave, he was a little surprised.

However, it was only for a moment. When it came to women's minds, Adriaan didn't dare to say that he completely understood them. But, most of the time, he had a pretty good grasp of them. Through the fashion brand, Alissanda's interests were completely tied to his. Rather than saying that she was thinking about the future, it was more like she was testing him. So, when she got the answer she wanted, she calmed down.

Maybe I can make Miranda pregnant too. Adriaan secretly thought that after Nicole and Naomi got pregnant, he wanted to do what he did with Sophie and Monica. The intimacy between Miranda and Alissanda was basically the same as that between Sophie and Monica, and between Nicole and Naomi. Alissanda definitely understood Alissanda's mind, so she decided to make it big so that she wouldn't think too much.

Of course, this was all in the future. In about three months, the Kewell family's football team would be officially established. So, they would have to wait for another two or three years for the little guys to grow up.

After finishing things in New York, Adriaan immediately flew to London. He wanted to stay for a few more days to play with Du Chen or see if he could get Ai Meibo. Moreover, Leighton and Blake seemed to want to find a chance to show off.

Although Adriaan wasn't there at the time, he had heard from Alissanda and Miranda that they treated their provocation as a complete joke. However, Adriaan understood. After all, he was the one who raised them, so he wouldn't let them go. If possible, he might even secretly fan the flames, as long as it didn't affect his life and work too much.

The matter in London was very simple. The Thanksgiving period was approaching, and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was the latest movie in the series. As a result, Adriaan naturally had to attend all the premieres. But what wasn't simple was … No, it wasn't Little Emma's entanglement. In fact, it was even worse. It was Little Emma and Little Emma's entanglement.

"Remember what I said? Coming to London will definitely be rewarding. I didn't lie to you, right? " Little Emma put on her underwear on her legs that were stretched out high and swinging up and down. She tilted her head and said with a smile.

She lay down at the end of the bed and then her entire lower body was bent over. Then, it was needless to say what Adriaan, who was leaning against the head of the bed, could see.

"Yes, yes." Little Emma, who was lying on Adriaan's chest, nodded hurriedly. "I will definitely listen to you in the future."

Hearing this, Adriaan couldn't help but roll his eyes. He reached out and pinched Little Emma's cheek. "I'm starting to worry now, Ruth. Maybe one day, Charlotte will sell you off and happily count money for her."

"So what?" Unexpectedly, Little Emma turned over and sat on him. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked like she didn't care at all. "As long as I can get you, I don't care about this."

I knew it. Adriaan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Originally, when Little Emma used the promise with Little Emma as an excuse to come to London to attend the premiere, he originally wanted to refuse. However, Little Emma used her aunt as a lobbyist and even threatened him with her eyes. If he didn't agree, she might leak something.

Although he knew that she was just saying it, Adriaan had to choose to compromise. He couldn't tell Julia that if Little Emma followed him to London, she and Little Emma would think of ways to … sleep with him, right? Not to mention Little Emma, Julia didn't even know about Little Emma's matters. So …

Now, he could be sure that Little Emma must have given Little Emma some ideas over the phone. What a troublesome person. Adriaan gritted his teeth and thought bitterly.

"Eide!" Little Emma's voice suddenly turned sweet. She moved in front of him, puffed up her cheeks, and blinked her eyes, trying to make herself look cute. "Can you let me play a role in the Harry Potter series?"

"Play a role? Why? " Adriaan asked curiously. Little Emma, who had already sat up and put on her bra, also looked over.

"Because … because …" Little Emma's little face unexpectedly turned red. After stuttering for a while, she mustered up her courage. "Last night, you played with Charlotte in … Gryffindor uniform … very excitedly … and called her … called her … so I was thinking if I could also …"

Towards the end, her voice became softer and her face redder. She also looked away. After all, Little Emma was not as daring as Little Emma.

"No, dear." Adriaan sighed and then glared at Little Emma, who was giggling at the end of the bed.

"Why?!" Little Emma pouted and asked unhappily. "Aren't you guys casting again? For Luna from 'Order of the Phoenix'? "

"Yes, that's right. The crew is casting for Luna." Adriaan pinched her cheeks. "But, Ruth, only British actors can be used in the Harry Potter series. This is the rule."

"But … But …" Little Emma bit her lip, unwilling to give up. "But … Louise Bourkun, who fooled around with you in the bathroom at the premiere, isn't British."

As she spoke, she pinched his chest. Obviously, all women knew how to do this.

"That's because the role she played is French. If there are roles from other countries, then people from that country will be chosen. For example, Taniswich, who plays Viktor Krum, is Bulgarian." Adriaan explained patiently, pretending that the "fooled around with you in the bathroom at the premiere" did not exist. "There are no American characters in the novel, so … it's a pity."

"Why is it like this?" Little Emma was very disappointed. "This is discrimination!"

She waved her arms, looking a little agitated. Her delicate body, which was already exposed in front of Adriaan, was even more exposed. Especially the two red spots at the front of her pointy little lotus looked very delicious under the young girl's temptation, so much so that Adriaan suddenly had the urge to taste it again.

"Alright, Ruth." Little Emma giggled and hugged Little Emma from behind. "Even if you don't have a role, you can still wear Gryffindor's school uniform. If you think it's not real, then you can … and …"

She lowered her voice at the last few words. Although Adriaan tried his best to listen, he still could not hear her clearly. However, looking at her smirk, it was definitely not a good thing. Especially after Little Emma said "Really?" loudly and looked at Little Emma with an incredulous expression. Then, she looked at Adriaan with evil intentions.

"Are you really not going to reconsider …?" Little Emma came closer again and called out softly in his ear.

Adriaan took a deep breath and had a huge reaction. Little Emma immediately cheered and grabbed the thing that she lifted up.

"Damn, now is not the time … How can you be like her, Ruth … Stop … Wait …" Adriaan shouted incoherently. He used his elbow to support his body and was about to climb up.

"Don't move." Little Emma shook the thing in her hand threateningly.

Adriaan glared at her and had to stop.

"Now, look closely, Ruth." Little Emma noticed that the thing in her hand was changing according to her emotions. She immediately called out and lied down with her hair passing by her ear.

"Oh …" Little Emma immediately covered her mouth and made a sound of surprise. When Little Emma started, her eyes widened even more.

"Don't just stand there, I'll teach you." Little Emma waved at her. "If Eide uses' you're still young 'as an excuse to reject you, you can use this method to continue teasing him."

Little Emma, who was hesitating and even a little scared, heard this and her eyes lit up. "Yeah!"

She immediately climbed down and didn't care about how Adriaan felt. She and Little Emma took turns biting the thing in their mouths.

"Damn …" Adriaan looked up and sighed. He could only enjoy it … Fine, he admitted that he was actually a little happy to see it happen. Looking down at them from above, this feeling … Oh …

Although Adriaan stayed in London for a few more days because of the casting for Luna in the fifth movie, he didn't succeed with the two Emmas. In fact, if he didn't believe Little Emma on the night of the premiere, the two girls wouldn't have climbed into his bed. He couldn't help it since he spoiled them. However, even though the little devil liked to mess around, she still knew where her bottom line was. After the premiere, although she and Little Emma would occasionally tease him, they basically stopped.

The box office of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was needless to say. No matter how bad the movie was, as long as the basic plot was complete and the special effects were passable, there was no need to worry that no one would buy it. This series already had countless fans all over the world. Moreover, Mike Neville had a good grasp of the rhythm and plot. Although it wasn't much better than the original, it was still an improvement.

Unfortunately, the next "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" would have to change directors. After being in charge of two consecutive Harry Potter movies, Neville felt that it was too much, so he made it clear that he wouldn't be renewing his contract.

Adriaan didn't ask him to stay, nor did he discuss with the crew about the next director. He basically left it to them. As mentioned before, the current series had basically reached the point where they only needed the basic plot and special effects. It wouldn't be a problem for anyone else to direct. Even if there was a director, the producer would help to correct it.

As for whether or not the final movie should be split … Yes, of course. Why would they give up such a good opportunity to make money? Moreover, with Adriaan's interference, maybe the 3D technology would mature faster. He could even suggest in advance to make the last two movies in 3D, which would only make more money.

In addition, Liu Yifei's scenes in "Goblet of Fire" were a lot more than the previous "Prisoner of Azkaban". She was also scheduled to go to the mainland for publicity. He believed that it wouldn't be a problem for the series to exceed 100 million in the mainland. Then, according to the two movies' scenes and the fans' feedback, he would set a basic plot time for her in the series. This would not only maintain her popularity, but also make the mainland's fans spend more money.

As for Luna's audition, he only asked about it for the time being. Currently, it was just preparation. Moreover, there would be a series of busy schedules, so the official audition would have to wait until after the New Year holiday. So when the time comes, Adriaan had a very interesting idea about the candidate for this role.

After finishing his work, he returned to the United States. There weren't many premieres to attend. At the end of the year, there weren't many movies under AC Media's banner. In addition to "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", the only work that had weight or commercial prospects was "Wizardry" starring Liv.

With four powerful film companies, Universal Pictures, Miramax, New Line, and Bosworth, as well as a large number of studios, there was also Adriaan, the abnormal AC Media, which had a considerable advantage at the end of the year. So it wasn't a big deal to give up his position occasionally.

Moreover, because of this, Adriaan spent more time with his wife and daughter, as well as preparing for his final blow.

Ever since "The Pianist" was released in October, it had been the topic of the reporters. Even now, when Adrian attended the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in London, there were still British reporters who asked him about "The Pianist". It was obvious that they wanted to bring it up to the Palme d'Or and the European Film Awards.

Although attacking European films and showing his identity as a Hollywood spokesperson was his focus this year, Adriaan still didn't give them a chance. This was Murdoch's territory, and the behavior of British reporters, especially entertainment reporters, was not worth looking forward to. Besides, so far, he had basically achieved his goal. Although the American media didn't say it clearly, most people in the industry knew what he wanted. The only thing left was the size of his appetite.

"Don't worry, it's smaller than you think." After reading the information collected by Ivanka, Adriaan chuckled. He then flipped through another document, which was the post-production report for "Out of Control." Although it wasn't completely finished, it was already certain that it would be screened at the end of the year.

When that time came, with a little hype, it wouldn't be difficult to get enough attention. As for the box office, it could be screened for a long time like "The Pianist." Anyway, as long as it broke even, it was fine.

The same was true for "The Wind and Clouds of the North," "A Glass of Life," and "Crossing America," starring Nicole, which participated in Cannes and was delayed to October. In short, for a film like this, which didn't have a high investment but had a good reputation, it wasn't completely without commercial value. At the same time, it could also accumulate reputation for the Oscars.

"I don't think it's small at all, your appetite has never been small," Ivanka, who came to the office to get something, said sarcastically when she heard him talking to himself.

"Really?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows, but as soon as he stood up, Ivanka vigilantly took two steps back. She picked up the document he had already signed, turned around, and quickly left.

"Damn it, do you have to do this?" He could only sigh gloomily.

It wasn't strange. Ever since she found out about little Emma, she had been like this. She maintained her usual teasing and sarcastic tone, but at the same time, she was a little resistant. After all, little Emma and little Emma were different. Although little Emma's actions were surprising, it wasn't too surprising. Her relationship with Adriaan was obvious, and strictly speaking, there was no barrier between them.

But little Emma was different. Even if her experience was similar to little Emma's, it was understandable that they had feelings for each other. Adriaan always had a way with little girls. In the past, it was easy to attract young girls, and now it was even more so. But the problem was, her aunt was his lover, and they even had a child. This was too messy. Not to mention anything else, how was Patricia going to address little Emma in the future?

No wonder Ivanka was conflicted. Fortunately, as Adriaan's secretary, she was used to keeping secrets. Other than the few people involved, she was the only one who knew about this, so Adriaan wasn't worried. But to solve this problem, not only would it take time, but it would also take a lot of effort.
