King of Hollywood

"I bet she will definitely retire after filming two or three films. I know Emma. She is not a submissive woman. Trelawney has a lot of roles in the novel, but not in the film. Many, after all, a movie can take up to three hours. The lens must focus on more important roles. Secondary supporting actors like Trelawney will inevitably be sacrificed in post-production unless there is a key role. " Among the group, Adrian said with a smile.

On his left is Ellen Rickman, who plays Snape in the Harry Potter series, and on the right is Maggie Smith, who plays McGonagall. There are more adult actors, but facing them, Emma Thompson who played Trelawney in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" being filmed.

It seems rude to say that she will inevitably leave the crew in front of me, but in fact the other party has no intention of being angry, and always listens with a smile.

"Then why did you invite me to this role?" Thompson holding the cup asked immediately.

"Because you agreed." Adrian shrugged, causing a chuckle.

"But to be honest, Emma, ​​I knew I should have invited you to take on the role of Harry's mother. There are not many plays, but they are all important," he said again.

"Fortunately, Jeradin is not here, otherwise she will be sad." Rickman immediately inserted a sentence, and everyone laughed again.

"Don't worry, Ed, for your sake, if I really want to launch. I will definitely inform you first, and then make another one." Thompson said with a tense.

"Then you don't have to quit at all, Emma." Smith inserted again at this time. "The third part is being filmed now, and according to Joe, the whole series is going to write 7 books, so wait for you to cover up After three episodes, the series has basically come to an end, and judging by Joe's usual style, Trelawney may not have much drama in the future. So it doesn't matter whether you stay or not. "

There was a burst of laughter all around, making the atmosphere in the room more lively. Of course, it can't be more lively than the next room. There are little actors at the party. They have their topics and games. But there is no lack of connection at the same time. Adults often pass by, and children often come over. For example, the two twins had wanted to come and drink.

This is very common at parties in the crew. Little Emma also hosted it at home, and it was fun and fun after everyone got used to it. Moreover, not only the crew, but also irrelevant people can participate, as long as they are friends of the participants, just like Adrian. Well, this example is not accurate. Adrian, after all, was the one who built the entire series in one hand, but Hugh Laurie's explanation is very appropriate.

"I didn't plan to attend, but Rachel dragged me to come, so I had to agree, but I didn't know until after I came. She actually intended to use me as a labor. The arrangements at the party depended only on them. A little guy can't do it. "Laurie said so arrogantly about his niece.

"Don't make yourself so innocent, uncle, didn't you hear that Aunt Emma and the director of Miracles had both participated in it before they agreed to participate?" Rachel immediately robbed the road. Then they laughed with a bunch of little guys like Emma, ​​and it turned out that they were close to the black, and with Emma taking the lead, the little guys-especially the girls-seemed to be even more fearless.

Laurie raised his hand, and seemed to have a headache for his niece. Adrian couldn't help feeling a little bit compassionate: "Don't worry, Hugh, the little group of little ghosts are always naughty."

then. He took the opportunity to ask: "Speaking back, I have a question for you, Hugh, if appropriate."

"Please say it." Laurie gestured.

"There is such a role, a television role, he is a doctor, a very good general practitioner, and many difficult diseases can not stump him, but he stomped a leg, always avoids meeting his patient, and likes to treat colleagues , Friends, and even patients ridiculed, called the doctors who practiced under him as ducklings, and liked academically ... Teach them, but he still has a good friend and an ambiguous relationship. Female friends who are always on the same page. From your point of view, what character should this character be. "Adrian asked with a smile.

Laurie blinked and seemed to realize something. He didn't answer for the first time, but groaned for a long time before he opened his mouth a little uncertainly: "First of all, he was a bit lonely and surly, then he was narcissistic, believe There was an unforgivable past in the leg that was kicked out. He did not believe in others, but only in himself, but he would not mind the reminders of others when he encountered difficulties. Simply put, it was cold outside and hot inside, otherwise there would not be a good friend. "

Speaking of which, Laurie suddenly laughed: "And if the character is important, the producer will not be too weird, and the appetite of the audience must be considered."

Adrian clapped his hands suddenly, and then asked, "So, Hugh, would you like to play this role?"

"Wow, this is a ... no small challenge." Although Hugh Laurie couldn't help but take a deep breath, this was an invitation from Director Miracle.

"But I believe this is a piece of cake for you. When I handed over the idea of ​​this TV series to the writers, I was thinking about who would be suitable for this weird character. I didn't expect to meet here, I have to say, Good luck. "Adrian held him without a trace.

To be honest, when he first heard the name Hugh Laurie, Adrian did not respond at all, not only because of the pronunciation problem, but also in front of Hugh was completely unconnected with Dr. House. In the very popular medical TV series in memory, House was an unshaven middle-aged uncle, and Hugh Bin in front of him was polite, with a full British fan from the inside out.

Fortunately, he had a niece named Rachel Harwood, so when Rachel mentioned his uncle Hugh Laurie again and again. After introducing him to Adrian, Adrian finally remembered it, so there was this conversation. It happens that there is no significant medical drama at the moment. It is very suitable to make Doctor House. As for Fox, do n’t worry, there are still many good medical dramas. If they are willing to cooperate, Adrian will not mind giving them some. Compensation, Warner's proposal is still very good. Isn't it?

"Wow, is this uncle going to the United States now?" Rachel yelled, holding her chin beside her and hearing everything.

"Now you can be proud, Rachel, the famous miracle director personally invited your uncle to the TV show." Emma Little made a grimace at her friend.

"Hey guys, it's not that fast. Now I only understand it, and I need to watch the script plus audition. But if Ed insists, I won't take on this role." Laurie said immediately, though The possibility of this matter being settled is quite high. After all, it is the boss's speech, but the gesture must still be set out.

Adrian nodded secretly, and added another favor to him. Destiny is so interesting. It was only a small suggestion that let Rachel Harwood get the role of Ginny. Because of previous experience, Adrian suggested the crew when casting. Not all characters need to be limited to the age of the characters in the novel. For example, Ginny's candidates can also be selected among children born in 90 years.

So, with a red hair and a round face, Rachel Harwood, who looked quite cute, entered the director at the time, in the eyes of Chris Columbus, in terms of appearance. She is indeed similar to the Weasley family with a red-haired tradition. Although Rachel wanted to compete for Hermione's role in the audition, she liked the Harry Potter series novels and the lobby had a lot of lobbying, so the family finally agreed.

Without this episode, Rachel would also enter the British entertainment industry, but it's hard to tell how big it is. So, in a sense, it's good for her to play Ginny. Not only that. She also became good friends with Emma Jr., and the world was fickle, but that was the case.

"The unknown is indeed fascinating, especially the unknown unknown." On the way back, Adrian couldn't help sighing as he looked at the street view from the car window.

"What are you talking about?" Little Emma asked, resting her head on his thigh.

"I'm saying why you have to lie in the car." Adrian lowered his head and asked helplessly.

"Hey, don't I even have the right to lie down with your legs? Isn't it that I can't go with you in the same car anymore?" Little Emma exclaimed immediately.

Adrian wants to answer yes, but has been stolen. In order to avoid being involved in more topics, shut up. He asked why she was lying in the car, not why he was resting on his thigh-well, it does have a meaning behind it, but just to remind her, but she just ...

And even then, Emma Jr. didn't intend to let him go, and continued to say dissatisfied: "You should thank me, Ed, how could you meet Mr. Laurie if I didn't drag you to the party today?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, Emma, ​​thank you very much." Adrian said, leaning over and kissing her forehead.

This was a very effective move. After little Emma froze, she immediately giggled, twisted her head on his thigh a few times, and concentrated on looking up at him until she went home.

"Well, I won't be with you anymore. I have other things in London." After returning Emma Jr. to her apartment and greeting the Rodrigues, Adrian said to her.

"It's over." Little Emma seemed to be unhappy with her mouth.

"Don't forget, I will come over your birthday next month." Adrian shaved her little nose. "I haven't missed your birthday, have I?"

Hearing this, Emma immediately smiled, but did not forget to say a few words: "You have been absent twice, I remember very clearly!"

She raised her **** and gestured in front of Adrian, with a serious expression, but with a smile in her eyes.

"Yes, I know, but those two things did happen, and I didn't forget to call you, didn't I?" Adrian stooped to her.

"Okay, that's it." Little Emma looked around and took a quick kiss on his face while the family didn't notice.

Laughed. Adrian glared at her with "I knew it", touched her head, and then said goodbye to the Rodling family. Little Emma sent him to the door and watched the car leave in front of the window. Then she greeted her adoptive mother and returned to her bedroom.

Lied on the bed for a long while, and Emma turned over, her eyes widening to the ceiling. After a while, she jumped up and made two turns in front of the dressing mirror. Then he snorted with his hands on his hips.

"It's still a year at most, so be patient!" She said, looking at herself in the mirror, "it's mine, no one can take it!"

Adrian did come to London to accompany little Emma, ​​and after spending months collecting information and discussing with Claude and others, he had already made a decision.

"It's okay, but there is no training base of its own. And the pitch is a bit smaller." In the team's box, watching the players in the blue uniforms underneath warm up, in the fans cheering Ready to start the game, Adrian said to the old man around him.

"It's not small anymore, it can accommodate 40,000 people." The old man next to him raised his white eyebrows. "And the land here is so rich, it's not easy to expand."

As for the lack of training grounds. He ignored the past directly. Adrian smiled and turned into a box with a TV inside. He could watch the ball without standing in front of the window, but he could not enter the box to watch the ball.

"Generally speaking. Chelsea is pretty good and has potential to dig, so let's make a price, Mr. Bates." He said directly after sitting in the chair.

Adrian eventually chose Chelsea, and Claude awakened him in a few words: "Are you investing personally or a group?"

obviously. This is a personal act, so it is natural to follow his opinion, and Adrian, who is very concerned about the granting and recovery of power, naturally prefers a blank piece of Chelsea. Again, he can be the chairman regardless of the matter and delegate all powers to the head coach, let him go to the scenery to accept cheers, but the power of the head coach is given by him or before he comes. This is a very important distinction.

Adrian doesn't want to deal with Ferguson and Manchester United's avid fans, so it is better for Chelsea, let alone a London team.

Of course, several conversations with Claude were also the reason for his decision. The reason for the uncertainty was largely because Manchester United undoubtedly helped ESPN to enter Europe. So Claude asked him and sold it. Can Chelsea develop it into a first-class team in the future? Looking back on the last few impressions of Chelsea in the previous life, nothing more than digging up a magic bird and then willing to invest in players, there is no too complicated strategy.

So the answer came out. According to Claude, this is in line with ESPN's process of entering Europe, growing with the team, gradually establishing its own reputation and brand, and complementing each other, which is a good way of publicity in itself.

After the decision, Adrian immediately arranged for manual contact with Chelsea. The current chairman, Kenneth Bates, was not very good in word-of-mouth, and became known for his unspoken reputation. He had a bad relationship with Chelsea fans. Just last year, he also Chelsea became independent The fan association is likened to a parasite defendant in court.

Such a chairman is not difficult to deal with, and Adrian has a lot of relations in the UK, so there is now the scene.

"Why would Mr. Cowell want to acquire a Premier League team?" Bates did not answer directly. "After all, soccer and American football ... are two completely different sports."

He was very careful and did not express much emotion beyond the words. Almost all Europeans knew that the United States is a football desert. Uncle Sam prefers "barbaric" and "unseen" football. But in the face of Bates, it is a media tycoon. Such a big man is not something he can offend. Even if he is disdainful in his heart, he will never show a little bit.

"Every sport has its own charm." Adrian smiled with a good temper, "I also have a lot of friends in the UK, and I often watch soccer with them. The warm atmosphere is no less than Any sport, so every World Cup is a big event. "

Of course, in fact, it is because the Premier League club is probably the only one that is easy for European teams to start. Whether Spain or Italy, it is impossible to sell the team to outsiders.

After a few more chats, Bates finally came to the topic: "I know that Chelsea currently has many difficulties, but it is still a team with a long history and has its own honor. It has many fans who love it-I Not that the parasites are fans who really love it. So even if I want to sell, I have to find a better owner for it. "

Adrian kept smiling and had no interface, Bates was still calm: "So even if many people want to buy it, for example, a Russian rich man has contacted me, he has the highest bid, but ..."

"How much did he get out of?" Adrian suddenly interrupted his speech with impoliteness ~ www.readwn.com ~ Bates frowned slightly, still gave the answer: "110 million."

He didn't dare to report this number, and he didn't report falsely. It wasn't the Russians who were stupid and moneyy. Adrian had his own connections and channels.

"I give you 220 million." Adrian said casually.

Even though Bates was calm, his throat couldn't help but obviously shudder, and even a bit of rudeness after swallowing, reminded: "I'm talking about pounds, Mr. Cowell."

"Of course it is the pound, not the Bahraini dinar or the Cypriot pound." Adrian smiled again, looking at him with a dominating gaze.

Having said all that, didn't Bates just want to sell for the price, Adrian directly gave him twice the price, and then forced him to death. This number has greatly exceeded the psychological expectations of Bates. He was afraid and could not increase the price, and the 220 million pounds also showed Adrian's determination not to sell? That would completely offend him.

In short, there is no room for negotiation in any respect. (To be continued ...)
