"Don't think so much, that is, a few days. Kubrick won't delay too long." Adrian wanted to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand. Of course, as always, there was a soft bang on Charlize's hips. Charlize immediately turned a blind eye to him, and walked quickly to the room without looking back in Adrian's happy laughter.

In the next few days, Adrian didn't do anything, so he took Emma to play around. The little guy was very happy that he came again. He specially learned a dance and sang and danced in front of him. It was very cute. In addition, Adrian also went to Edinburgh to talk about publishing with Rowling, who is finishing the second Harry Potter series. Although the sales of magic stone in the UK is not particularly good, it is quite good in the United States. She is also at the bottom of the best seller list of the New York Times. Rowling has completely got rid of the plight of life and entered the middle class Class.

"Don't do that, Joe. You deserve it all, don't you?" Faced with Rowling's repeated thanks, Adrian said, after careful consideration, he still decided to wait until the second "Chamber of secrets" was published before talking to Rowling about the adaptation of the film. Now it seems a little early.

On the fifth day after the visit, Anya, Kubrick's eldest daughter, invited Adrian and Clarkson to the small manor again. The old man, who could not speak or move in bed, finally agreed after so long thinking.

"In principle, the father allows Mr. Adrian to take over, and at the same time allows Mr. Adrian to make adjustments according to his own requirements. However, after the film is made, it must be reviewed by his father first. If the father is not satisfied, then the film can not be distributed from any channel." In the bedroom of the last visit, Anya said the conditions in front of her father, sister and other family members.

"I don't think that's a problem, is it, pine?" He was in charge of Clarkson Because he was in charge of it.

"It should be No problem. " Clarkson sighed and said helplessly.

"I suddenly feel like I've made a big mistake, and you're so sure you'll satisfy Stanley? He is a picky guy. I have dealt with him more than once. Sometimes he is not satisfied with his own things, let alone This time, there is no precedent in history to let others take over his things. " Clarkson said with a wry smile when he came out of the little manor again.

If Adrian takes over the production and Kubrick is not satisfied with it, if the box office of the film is not good, we can recover part of the cost by issuing video tapes and other means, but if we do not release it at all, it will be a total loss.

"It's impossible to be 100% satisfied, but I'm sure it won't cross his bottom line." Adrian vowed, and then looked at Clarkson's sad face and laughed: "well, Payne, making a movie is no different from gambling a lot, and I don't know what the end will be until the last minute. You all admit that Kubrick's taking over is unprecedented. Why don't you believe that I can make a miracle? "

"Indeed, you are a miracle director, so I hope there will be a miracle in the end." Clarkson sighed again and gave a comforting smile.

Although it will take some time to sign the contract. After all, it is not legal to say that "if the father is not satisfied, then the film can not be released from any channel". Moreover, it is easy to get loopholes. However, those are the affairs of lawyers. After receiving the promise, Adrian immediately returned to Los Angeles to start some preliminary work.

For example, after Kubrick moved to Britain, his films were basically shot in Britain. Soon he went to other places. Although the script of "eye opener" was written in New York, he still insisted on shooting in England. Before that, he had contacted the studio and planned to build a New York street scene here. This cost a lot of money In other words, most of the cost of the whole film is spent on it.

But now that Adrian has taken over, the plan to build a set in the UK is only on paper. Naturally, it is better to go to New York for on-the-spot shooting.

In addition, they also have to meet with the cast members. Many of them have cooperated with Kubrick several times. Although Adrian will bring some people he is familiar with, most of them still need to keep it. After all, they are relatively familiar with Kubrick's style. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good relationship in advance. However, the most important thing is to communicate with the leading actor and heroine.

"Payne, I remember that I agreed to play because of Stanley's invitation, but why is it ed now?" In the box of a private club, Tom Cruise looked at Payne Clarkson and asked, with a hint of questioning in his voice, but then he looked at Adrian with a trademark smile: "I'm sorry, ED, I don't mean to offend you, I just want to understand why things have become this way."

"I understand." Adrian grinned and didn't say much. His eyes were completely focused on cruise, as if Nicole Demann didn't exist around him.

"You know, Tommy, Stanley had a stroke. It was so serious that he couldn't even say a word, let alone direct the film. But he sold the right to adapt the novel more than ten years ago, and he was not willing to give up halfway. Now Adrian promptly said that he could take over and moved him with his ability and sincerity. Why not continue? " Clarkson opened his hand and said sincerely."Oh, of course, ED is a famous miracle director." Cruise grinned, and a faint disapproval flashed in his eyes. Then he immediately asked, "but as far as I know, with Stanley's character, no one is allowed to interfere in his films. How do you persuade him, pine?"

Cruise looked at her agent, and Kingsley immediately took over the topic: "yes, Mr. Clarkson. As everyone knows, Stanley brick had a bad time with the original authors Arthur Clark and Stephen King in the production of" flash "and" space odyssey 2 ". The reason was that they did not agree with their view of the script. Arthur chose to give way and Stephen King More than once, he criticized the movie version of "the flash."

Then she went with her hands, which means obviously, how can you persuade this stubborn old man? Or are you Warner trying to kick Kubrick off because of a stroke?

"This should start from two points. The external reason is that Stanley has been preparing this film for many years, and he is not willing to give up now, but the internal reason..." Clarkson said and looked at Adrian, with some doubts in his heart. As a warner executive, he certainly knows that Adrian is working on a film with cruise, and the relationship between them should be OK. Why is cruise that expression?

Cruise thought he was doing it in secret, but all the people present could see it clearly.

Although he kept thinking, Clarkson's mouth did not stop: "as I said, Ed moved Stanley with his sincerity and ability. Before today, we had been to the UK and had a face-to-face talk with Stanley, and Ed's ideas were recognized by him. After all, without his consent, it would be impossible for anyone to take over. You can check with his family about this and make sure you get the answer you want. "

Kingsley ton and Cruise Talk in a low voice, and from time to time to ask Nicole, Nicole seems to have no opinion, each time just say a few words and then stop. However, as long as cruise can quickly grab the lead after she talks a little longer, some things can be guessed.

"Tommy, can you tell me why you are hesitating?" After a long discussion, Adrian finally asked.

"Well The point is that Nicole and I agreed because we wanted to work with Stanley Cruise made an effort to gesture, and then as if explaining something, he continued, "I'm not saying I don't want to work with you, ed. I just think, if we're going to work together, why not pick a new movie?"

"I know how you feel, Tommy. Making a movie sometimes is like gambling. It looks like the script is good and good, but it can be a mess, especially if you take over the work of a director with a unique style," Adrian chuckles, with a casual look in his face, "but when do I miss it, Tommy? Even Stanley admitted that I was qualified to take over his work. Why not try it? "

Adrian folded his hands on the table, propped up his chin, and looked at cruise with a little provocation in his eyes. Unlike cruise, who thought he was very covert just now, no one could see that except face-to-face, cruise was not Adrian's opponent in this respect.

"I believe you can shine in Mr. sweetheart. Why can't you believe that I can run eye opener?" He continued to ask in a leisurely tone.

Cruise pursed his lips, closed his smile, looked at Adrian, took a deep breath, frowned for a while, and then looked back at his wife.

"What do you think, Nicole?" He also put on the signature smile, although it is very sunny and charming, but see too much will feel some fake.

"Maybe..." Nicole looks uncertainly at Adrian, who lowers her head and sips his cup of coffee as if she and cruise are not at all concerned.

Nicole's hand under the table involuntarily becomes a fist.

"Maybe you can try it." She whispered to her husband.

Cruise, who heard the answer, raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then again aimed his smile at Adrian: "OK, I have no problem."

"I'm very happy to work with you, Tommy." A meaningful look crossed Adrian's eyes, then rose to his feet and held out his hand to cruise with a smile.

Now that it's settled, Adrian doesn't have to stay any longer, shaking hands with the cruise couple and their agent, Kingsley.

"I remember you seem to be working with Tommy, aren't you, ed?" After leaving the club, Clarkson couldn't help asking.

"What do you want to ask, Penn?" Adrian said casually.

"Don't you think Tommy seems so hostile to you?" Clarkson simply made the point.

"Yes, I know, but if you want to ask me why, I don't know." Adrian shrugged.

He didn't lie. Cruise didn't do it once or twice, but he didn't know why. God knows what's going on in Cruise's head. However, according to some of Cruise's words and deeds since several contacts, Adrian may have guessed a little, but he can't be sure, but there should be something to do with it. He can only say that people who are not broad-minded and will not adjust themselves are really Sad.But it also makes Adrian feel more at ease by doing something. When he thinks about leaving, he can't help but rise slightly. When saying goodbye, he and Nicole shook each other lightly and then pulled out his hand without nostalgia. It seemed that he was facing a stranger and left without looking back.

After basic communication with the crew members, Adrian went to New York again at the end of April. There were not many real scenes in New York. Most of the scenes were arranged in the studio in Los Angeles. Naturally, Warner agreed with this. If Kubrick wanted to build all the sets in Britain, the cost would be expensive a half.

Kubrick's films are not going to make money, even if it's the miracle director who's taking over. Now that Adrian has been recognized by Kubrick, he certainly won't add commercial elements to it. Although Kubrick can't be allowed to start shooting, don't forget that if he is not satisfied, the film can't be released, and Adrian won't joke about his reputation, so it's better to save.

"Well, I admit it's a good place. You've got it, Kiki." Adrian said to the beaming girl, and had a few pictures taken of the block.

"How about it? I said it would be useful to bring it with me. " Kirsten said that she was wearing a light color T-shirt with long sleeves, and a dark short dress, trousers and sneakers, which showed the girl's youthful vigor vividly and vividly.

"Yes, yes, but can it be so loud." Adrian sighed and looked at the busy people. Fortunately, there were not many people. Charlize stayed in Los Angeles.

Kirsten was here because when he came to Adrian's office as usual that day, after hearing that he would go to New York to investigate the setting of the next film, the girl who had a good idea immediately came together.

"I've lived in New York for a while, and I'm familiar with the neighborhoods, especially Brooklyn, where I can find any kind of ambience you want." Kirsten was riding on Adrian's thigh and hugging his neck. He had just recovered from the "guidance" of his fingers. The flush of his face had not faded, and his soft voice sounded like red wine before going to bed. It was quite comfortable.

She did live in New York, otherwise she would not have participated in the audition of "the killer is not too cold". In addition, Adrian immediately agreed. But he didn't lose his head, so he went to Kirsten with his mother, Inez, to New York.

She told her mother most of the truth, only modified a little. She said that she talked about Adrian on the pretext of "going to New York to travel with her mother", so her mother had to help her solve the panic. Inez naturally agreed to her daughter's request. She also knew that Adrian had something to do with her daughter's success today, so she should try her best to maintain a good relationship with director miracle. However, she did not know that her daughter went further.

"Well, now that you've been chosen, it's time for me to send you back." Adrian said so, after explaining to the person in charge, he immediately took the girl to the car parked on the street.

"Since it's so early, why don't we go somewhere else? We've been looking for your block these days. It's time to have a rest." Said Kirsten in the co driver's seat with a smile.

"That's not good. I promised your mother to send you back the first time." Adrian shook his head, bent over to bring her safety, tied it to her, and then flicked her round face: "safety first, I rarely drive on the streets of New York."

"Oh, ED, don't do that, will you?" Kirsten took the opportunity to seize his arm, the whole person pasted up, in a pleading tone.

Sensing the newly developed touch from his elbow, Adrian sighed, "well, I'll drive two-thirds of the way, and then walk back the rest of the way."

"All right." Kirsten's eyes showed a look of undisguised disappointment, and she knew that Adrian's decision would basically not change.

Adrian chuckled and started the car. He didn't know what Kirsten was thinking. However, some things should be kept in suspense. Anyway, it's still within the warranty period, isn't it?

As he said, he drove for a few blocks, then stopped two blocks from Kirsten's and Ma's Apartments - Inez had a decent little apartment in New York, so he didn't stay in a hotel - and followed them back for a walk.

Although Kirsten was not very interested, he kept laughing in Adrian's humorous words. No one was better than him in coaxing women, no matter what kind of women they were.

"Well, that's it, Kiki," Adrian said, touching her head after sending Kirsten to the steps of the apartment. "Don't be so anxious. You know, I like you very much."
