The movie Adriaan was talking about was "National Treasure". When he first came up with the script, he wanted to produce it as soon as possible. However, considering that Cage's financial crisis at that time had not yet appeared, he wanted to postpone the movie so that he could help him when he needed it. No matter what, they were considered friends. Cage also helped a little when Sofia went to his bed.
However, he did not expect that after putting the script away, Adriaan would forget about it. After all, he had a lot of things to do in the past two years. The closer he was to his goal, the less he would focus on these small things. Now, it had finally come to an end. All he had to do was to maintain it and wait for the results. He had more time and energy. Only then did he realize that there was still a good movie that he had forgotten to shoot.
It was inevitable to start preparing. Although the climax of the first part of "National Treasure" was a little low, it was still very interesting to start from the decryption and cleverly connect the various symbols on the US dollar. Cage seemed to have noticed his financial problems but did not pay much attention to it. Therefore, although it was delayed for a long time, it was not too late.
Then there was the choice of the female lead. As a completely commercial movie, as Zeta Jones said, it would not be a problem to pick any of his women. However, Adriaan had a lot to consider, such as balance and the commercial value of the women. Since they had chosen to be by his side, he had to be responsible for these. Moreover, he could tell a lot from whether the women accepted his recommendation.
Originally, Adriaan intended to give this role to Gwyneth. She was currently in need of a commercial movie. However, Zeta Jones, who had been resting for almost a year due to pregnancy and childbirth, and had not appeared in the media recently, undoubtedly needed this role more. In addition, there were a lot of movies suitable for Gwyneth. The previous "Girls Dream 30" also had good reviews, so in the end, it was given to Zeta Jones.
Well, let's not talk about this anymore. There was plenty of time to choose a movie. Therefore, during the preparation time, Adriaan was also preparing for the upcoming Kewell's football team.
"To be frank, this due date is not good. It's terrible." Facing the two pregnant women with big bellies, Adriaan sighed loudly.
"He wants to say, sorry, I can't watch the birth of the child, is that right?" Naomi looked directly at Nicole.
"There's no doubt, a heartless man." Nicole bit off more than half of the Apple and stared at Adriaan fiercely. She no longer had the same elegant image as before.
Pregnancy had made them a lot more plump, but they were much better than Zeta Jones. Perhaps it was because Australian women didn't put on weight easily, and it was the same for Blanchett when she was pregnant. Hmm, wait a minute, both of them don't seem to be full-blooded Australians. Nicole was born in Honolulu and Naomi was born in England … Alright, what does it matter?
"I heard the complaints. Is it because I didn't pay on time? But I clearly remember that I didn't fall behind every time. "Adriaan raised his eyebrows with a smile.
"Double the price for services during pregnancy, you damn bastard!" Nicole took another bite of the Apple. Her angry look did not look like a woman in her thirties at all.
However, it was normal. Pregnant women were always moody. It was better to be like a child than to suffer from prenatal depression.
"This … I didn't say it before." Adriaan spread his hands and made an innocent look. "So it doesn't count."
"It's the same even if I say it now!" Nicole immediately snorted and looked at Naomi. "Aren't you going to fight for your own interests, Naomi?"
"Well …" Naomi lowered her head and coughed dryly. She would pretend to be deaf and mute every time she encountered such a situation. She was not Nicole who really treated herself as a private call girl. However, this situation was also very interesting, so she would occasionally participate in it. Just like now, "I only provide striptease services. I didn't do that before … so I don't need it."
Nicole frowned and was about to refute but Adriaan had already sat between the two of them with a laugh. "Well, don't worry. If you really give birth on the night of the Oscars, don't worry. I'll definitely be by your side."
"Oh? You're willing? That's the best opportunity for you to declare your power to the people. "Nicole sneered in a tone of disbelief.
"So what? It's not worth mentioning compared to accompanying you and watching the birth of the child. " Adriaan said as he grabbed their hands and said very seriously, "This is my promise!"
This year's Oscars was expected to be around March 5th, and Nicole and Naomi's due date was also around that time, so they were a little conflicted. Once they really gave birth at that time, Adriaan would definitely have to attend the award ceremony. This was definitely the most important moment in his life, but the problem was … when these women gave birth in the past, he had accompanied them throughout the whole process.
It sounded a little ridiculous. Did women care about this kind of thing? But the fact was that this was the case, especially for a … collector like Adriaan. Sometimes, he could do whatever he wanted, but sometimes he had to be fair. There was no reason. Of course, Adriaan also knew this. So if it really came to that, he would definitely accompany them in the hospital. If he got everything he wanted, then whether he participated in the award ceremony or not, his influence would be there. In contrast, the harmony of his family … was undoubtedly more important.
"Okay, let me listen to the movements of the little ones." Adriaan said as he put his ear on Nicole's lower abdomen. After listening for a while, he put his ear on Naomi's.
"Strange, why is there no movement at all?" After a while, he raised his head and said gloomily.
"Because the children need to rest … Oh!" Naomi hugged her stomach and screamed. "God, she's actually kicking me?"
"Really? Really?" Adriaan quickly put his ear on again, but unfortunately, he still didn't hear anything. Then, he thought of something and looked up. "Wait, did you just say … her?"
Naomi was stunned and then turned her head away in embarrassment. Adriaan sighed and turned his head to look at Nicole. Nicole shrugged and looked like she would tell him if he begged her.
"It seems that I can think of a name for the child," Adriaan said finally.
What a pity. Even though he already knew the answer was most likely, Adriaan still couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't care whether he had to have a son or not. With so many daughters, it might not be impossible for anyone to accept his empire. Perhaps the United States didn't have the habit of marrying into the family, but it wouldn't be a problem for his daughter's child to change his surname to Kewell. Of course, the most important thing was … after I die, who cares what happens?
Therefore, he sighed because he really wanted to know how far he had to go in order for God to give him a son. Perhaps, he should try to find someone else? For example —
"No problem, I will come on time, I promise." Adriaan laughed while holding the phone. At the same time, his lower body moved faster. Han Caiying, who was lying on the table with her legs spread open, rolled her eyes and was on the verge of losing her mind.
"Okay, no problem. You know, I won't refuse such a request. Of course, I also need a little reward, so why don't you think about the theme for tonight?" Adriaan said immediately, and at the same time, his lower body went deeper and faster. Han Caiying gasped and opened her mouth as if she wanted to scream, but in the end, no sound came out.
"Very — Okay, then — that's it!" He grabbed her waist and pressed her body tightly, almost gnashing his teeth as he said these words.
Han Caiying's whole body was tense, and she trembled violently under the huge stimulation. It wasn't until Adriaan hung up the phone that she trembled violently and fell on the table. Then, Adriaan adjusted his collar and left her body. Han Caiying immediately fell from the table to the ground with a crash. She didn't react at all as she stared blankly in front of her. Only her chest was slightly moving up and down.
Adriaan didn't care and turned away. Kim Tae-hee, who was lying on the ground and had recovered, quickly propped up his body and opened his mouth to clean up for him.
"Clean up this place. I won't be staying here tonight. Also, I don't want to see what happened before again." Adriaan, who had tidied up his clothes, said lightly.
"Yes," Kim Tae-hee, who was kneeling on the ground, said respectfully.
Then, he glanced at Han Caiying, who was still lying on the ground and hadn't recovered, and strode out of the hotel room without looking back. This was just a small punishment, because when he called them over from Korea, the two of them actually quarreled in the room. If it weren't for Adriaan, they might have fought.
As for the reason, it was nothing more than Kim Tae-hee's jealousy because Han Caiying played a role in "Bone Knowledge Tracking". As mentioned before, he originally planned to give the Asian role to Li Zi, but then he changed his mind and let Li Zi go to the crew of "Grey's Anatomy" to act with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Katherine Heigl. It was impossible for Gao Yuanyuan to play the main role in two TV series at the same time, and Lin Chi-ling didn't need a TV series at the moment, so this role was vacant. It was a pity that he chose Han Caiying to play this role.
The reason why he chose her was that he didn't have enough time. When he made the decision, the preparation was already in the late stage. At this time, it was impossible to choose a woman from Asia for training. Han Caiying had lived in the United States for almost ten years. Her English was very fluent, and her acting was not bad, so she filled in.
If possible, Adriaan would like to let Han Jiaren have a try. The situation when he first met her in Seoul made him reminisce a lot. When he called her over from Korea, he often recreated the situation at that time. Unfortunately, there was really no time. Compared with Han Caiying, whose facial features were more westernized, Han Jiaren was too delicate. She really didn't look like a woman who dealt with corpses all day long.
Han Caiying was actually not bad. Her curvaceous figure was rare among Korean women, and she was quite obedient. If she could always be like this, Adriaan didn't mind having another Korean toy. After making a small deal with Goldman Sachs and other capital, and the Dragon Star Fund also intended to get rid of its shell, the representative of AC Media had already obtained a seat on the board of directors of Samsung.
Although Samsung was a "state-owned enterprise" in Korea, several major banks in Korea were basically controlled by international capital, so as long as they had chips, it was not difficult to do this. In this way, coupled with the fact that they were currently partners of Samsung, it would only be easier for Adriaan to play with Korean women in the future.
It was also because of this that Kim Tae-hee had completely regarded herself as a toy. Anyone who might threaten this would cause her hostility, and Han Caiying was one of them.
It was very simple. Because of Han Caiying's role, "Bone of Knowledge Seeking" was broadcast in Korea smoothly and attracted a lot of fans. Although Kim Tae-hee played the female lead in "The Myth" released last year and her fame soared a lot, she was still not as good as Han Caiying, who could land in the United States like Li Yingai. At the same time, Han Caiying spent most of her time in the United States. Adriaan could play with her whenever he wanted, and she had been trying hard to please him. How could Kim Tae-hee not feel threatened?
Needless to say, the war between women was unreasonable. Of course, Adriaan would not allow them to mess around, so he taught them a good lesson. As for the program in the evening, oh, don't worry. For Adriaan, who had been accustomed to continuous battles, this was a small matter.
The party in the evening was at Lin Chi-ling's home, or to be exact, the home of Lin Chi-ling, Lin Xi-lei, Gao Yuanyuan, and Li Zi. Although they now had their own villas in Los Angeles, they still lived together most of the time. At most, they would leave for a few days to adjust their mood after some minor conflicts.
This time, Lin Chi-ling became the first Chinese person to be nominated for an Oscar. Of course, it needed to be celebrated. It should be known that the Taiwanese media had blown this matter up. All kinds of titles and halos were constantly given to her, such as the pride of Taiwan, the pearl of Taiwan, the diamond of Taiwan, and so on. In short, it seemed that she would not give up until she became unprecedented.
As for the mainland media, at the beginning, they were a little shy and embarrassed. They didn't know how to report it, but it didn't take long for them to adjust themselves and began to praise Lin Chi-ling as the pride of the Chinese without blushing or panting. Of course, it was understandable for them to do so for the sake of cross-strait relations. However, many Taiwanese media ridiculed her and wanted to use this opportunity to draw a clear line. Even Lin Chi-ling's weird parents joined in the fun.
Fortunately, Lin Chi-ling knew, or rather, Lin Xi-lei had reminded her, that Adriaan was planning to occupy the market in the mainland. She also had a lot of endorsements in the mainland, so she obediently and tactfully made some statements such as, "As a Chinese person, it is an exciting thing to have such an achievement, and this glory does not belong to me alone." She completely ignored the voices of her parents, as if they did not exist at all.
Interestingly, her parents actually called to express their dissatisfaction. No one knew who persuaded them, but they probably thought that Lin Chi-ling could not care less about these things in the United States. However, Lin Xi-lei quickly dealt with them, which was not a problem at all for her now. She did not make things too difficult for Lin Chi-ling.
However, because it seemed to be quite a big event, and because Adriaan was busy, the private celebration party was delayed for a few days, and finally, it was postponed to the beginning of February.
There was no need to talk about the details of the party. They had never let him down. This time, three beautiful female doctors diagnosed the patient and tried all kinds of treatment methods, but they could not cure the patient. Later, a young nurse accidentally found the problem, so the doctors and nurses took turns to fight with the patient, and finally, they swarmed up and finally solved the problem.
"I like this theme. Although it has been tried before, this time there are a lot of new ideas." Lying on the messy bed, Adriaan took a deep breath. The exhaustion after the battle was still lingering in his heart.
Lin Chi-ling, who was lying next to him, giggled a few times. She got up and wanted to do something, but soon lay down again and was too lazy to move again. On the other side, Gao Yuanyuan curled up her body and basically fell asleep. Below him, Lin Xilei hugged one of his thighs and was also in a half-asleep state. Only Li Zi stood up, put on some clothes, and staggered out of the bed.
"I need to get myself a glass of water," she explained to Adrian who was lying on the bed before stumbling out of the room.
Looking at her leaving figure, Adriaan's heart skipped a beat. Then, he carefully got up from the bed, comforted Lin Chi-ling with gentle words, and carefully moved Gao Yuanyuan and Lin Xilei's hands and legs away. After getting out of the bed, he tiptoed over the specially made clothes that were made with reference to both erotic uniforms and real doctors' and nurses' clothes, as well as various glasses and wine bottles, and left.
"Ah Zi?" He came to the outside of the kitchen and called out, but it gave Li Zi a shock.
"You scared me, Eide." Li Zi, who was only a little less tired than Lin Chi-ling and the others, said angrily with a cup in her hand.
"Am I that scary?" Adriaan asked in a puzzled tone.
"Of course." Li Zi gave him a supercilious look. It was an expression that all women who got along with each other for a long time would have.
Then, she thought of something and revealed a vigilant look. "You … you can't be thinking of … I … I'm already very tired, I really … can't continue …"
As she said that, she glanced at his big thing that still had energy to spare, and even put on a nervous look. There was no need to say what she was worried about.
Adriaan couldn't help but laugh. "Well, it seems that I should at least put on underwear."
"You can take it off if you put it on." Li Zi muttered and immediately took a big gulp of water.
"I have to say, you look very cute like this." Adriaan walked forward with a smile and hugged her from behind. Li Zi didn't say anything, just quietly held the cup and let him hug her.
After a long time, Adriaan reached out and brushed the hair around her ear, and then slid down her still smooth face. Then, he suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, Ah Zi, if you didn't meet me, what would you do?"
"Do what?" Li Zi was slightly absent-minded, and after a moment, she sighed. "Of course I would continue filming at TVB until I couldn't or didn't want to anymore. Then, I would find someone to marry. Well, I might even get a rich husband."
She chuckled, and then quickly sighed. "Then … I would have a child with my husband. I hope it's a daughter. I definitely won't let her suffer. I definitely … won't let her walk on my path again."
Speaking of this, Li Zi became a little absent-minded, and her eyes were filled with longing, hope, and despair, as if she was completely immersed in her own thoughts. Adriaan, who was hugging her, slightly curled the corner of his mouth.
