"I'll bet she'll quit after two or three films at most. I know Emma. She's not a woman who's willing to give up. Trelawney has a lot of parts in the novel, but not many in the film. After all, a film can last up to three hours, and the lens must focus on more important characters. Unless there is a key part, Trelawney will inevitably be sacrificed in the post production. " Among the crowd, Adrian said with a smile.
On his left is Alan Rickman, who plays Snape in the Harry Potter series, and Maggie Smith, who plays McGonagall, on the right. There are more adult actors, but he faces Emma Thompson, who plays Trelawney in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.
It seems impolite to say in my face that she will definitely leave the crew, but in fact, the other party does not mean to be angry at all. She always listens with laughter.
"Then why did you invite me to play the part?" Asked Thompson, holding the glass.
"Because you promised." Adrian shrugged, causing a low smile.
"But to tell you the truth, Emma, I knew I should have asked you to be Harry's mother. It wasn't much, but it was important." He added.
"It's good that Geraldine is not here, or she will die of grief." Rickman immediately put in a sentence, and everyone laughed again.
"Don't worry, ED, for your sake, if I really want to launch. I'll be the first to let you know, and then I'll shoot another one. " Thompson said.
"Then you don't have to quit, Emma." At this time, Smith interposed again, "what we are shooting now is the third one. According to the information disclosed by Joe, seven copies of the whole series are planned to be written, so after you cover up the three films, the series will be basically finished. Judging from Joe's usual writing style, I'm afraid Trelawney will not have many parts in the future. So it doesn't matter whether you leave or stay. "
Then burst out a burst of laughter, let the atmosphere in the room more lively. Of course, no matter how busy it is, the next room is where the young actors are gathering. They have their topics and games. But at the same time, there is no lack of contact. Adults often pass by, and children often come. For example, the twins once wanted to come to steal wine.
It's very common at parties. Little Emma held it at home, and it was fun to get used to it. And it's not just the crew that's going to the party. It's not just the people who are involved in the party, as long as they're friends, like Adrian. Well, this example is not accurate. Adrian, after all, is the one who built the whole series, but Hugh Laurie is a good example.
"I didn't intend to attend, but Rachel dragged me to come, so she had to promise and didn't come to know. She's actually going to use me as a labor force. These party decorations can't be done by their little guys alone. " Said Laurie, speaking of his niece.
"Don't make yourself so innocent, uncle. Didn't you agree to come when you heard that Aunt Emma and the director of miracles had participated?" Rachel, next to her, immediately grabs the truth. Then they laughed with little Emma and a group of other little guys. It turned out that it was dark in the dark. With little Emma taking the lead, a group of little guys - especially girls - seemed to be more unscrupulous.
Laurie raised his hand and seemed to have a headache for his niece. Adrian couldn't help feeling that he was in love with his life: "don't care, Hugh. The small group of kids are always very naughty."
Then. He took the opportunity to ask, "well, I have a question for you, Hugh, if that's right."
"Go ahead, please." Laurie made a gesture.
"There is such a role, a TV role. He is a doctor and a very good general practitioner. He is difficult to deal with many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. However, he has a lame leg and always avoids meeting with his patients. He likes to sneer at colleagues, friends and even patients. He calls the doctor who is practicing under his own hands as a duckling, and is happy with this and that in academic He trained them, but he still had a good friend and a female friend who kept an ambiguous relationship but was often in hot water. From your point of view, what kind of character should this character be? " Adrian asked with a smile.
Laurie blinked his eyes and seemed to realize something. He didn't answer for the first time, but after pondering for a long time, he opened his mouth with some uncertainty: "first of all, he is a bit lonely and surly, and then he is narcissistic. He believes that the lame leg has an unforgettable past. He doesn't believe others, only believes in himself, but he won't mind other people's reminding when he encounters problems. In short, he will not have a good friend if he is cold outside and hot inside. "
At this point, Laurie burst into a laugh: "and, if the role is important, the producers don't design too weird, always consider the audience's appetite."
When Adrian settled in, he clapped his hands and asked, "so, Hugh, would you like to play this part?"
"Wow, this is a No small challenge. " Even though he had expected this, Hugh Laurie could not help but take a deep breath, which was the invitation of director miracle."But I believe it's a piece of cake for you. When I gave the idea of this TV play to the writers, I was thinking about who is suitable to be the leading character of this strange character. I didn't expect to meet him here. I have to say, I'm lucky." Adrian held him up without a trace.
To be honest, Adrian didn't respond when he first heard the name Hugh Laurie, not only because of the pronunciation problem, but also because of the lack of connection between Hugh and house. In the memory of the popular medical TV series, house was a middle-aged strange uncle with a ragged beard and a slovenly middle-aged man. In front of him, Hugh was polite and full of British style from inside to outside.
Fortunately, he had a niece named Rachel Harwood, so when Rachel mentioned her uncle Hugh Laurie over and over again. And introduced him to Adrian, Adrian finally remembered, so there was this dialogue. It's just that ABC doesn't have any significant medical dramas at present. It's very appropriate to make house. As for fox, there are still many good medical dramas. If they are willing to cooperate, Adrian doesn't mind giving them some compensation. Warner's proposal is still very good. isn't it?
"Wow, is uncle going to America now?" 'cried Rachel, with her chin on her side, hearing everything.
"Now you can be proud, Rachel, the famous miracle director has personally invited your uncle to the TV series." Little Emma made a face at her friend.
"Hey, guys, it's not so fast. Now I'm just getting to know it, and I'm going to see the script and audition. If I don't pass, I won't take the role even if ed insists Laurie immediately said, although it is quite possible to settle the matter. After all, it is the big boss who speaks, but the gesture still needs to be put forward.
Adrian nodded his head secretly, and was more fond of him. Fate is so interesting that Rachel Harwood was given the role of Ginny with just a little suggestion. Because of his previous life experience, Adrian suggested the cast when he was casting. Not all characters have to be limited to the age of the characters in the novel. Ginny's candidates, for example, can be selected from children born in 90.
So Rachel Harwood, with her red hair and a round face, was in the eyes of the director, Chris Columbus, in terms of appearance. She's really similar to the Weasleys, who have a tradition of red hair. Although Rachel wanted to compete for the role of Hermione in the audition, she liked the Harry Potter series, and the crew lobbied, so the family finally agreed.
Without this episode, Rachel would have entered the British entertainment industry, but it's hard to say how big it is. So, in a sense, playing Ginny is good for her. More Than This. She also became good friends with little Emma, and things were changeable.
"The unknown is really fascinating, especially the small unknown." On the way back, Adrian couldn't help sighing at the street view outside the window.
"What are you talking about." Asked little Emma, who put her head on his lap.
"I'm saying, why do you have to lie in the car." Adrian lowered his head and asked helplessly.
"Well, don't I even have the right to lie down on your legs now? I can't even ride with you in the future Little Emma exclaimed, discontented.
Adrian would like to answer yes, but it has been changed. In order to avoid being involved in more topics, he should shut up. He asked why she was lying in the car, not why she was resting on his thigh - well, it was a bit of a back meaning, but just to remind, but she just
And even so, little Emma didn't want to let him go, and continued to complain, "you should thank me, ed. if I hadn't pulled you to the party today, how could you have met Mr. Laurie?"
"Well, well, thank you, Emma. Thank you very much." Adrian said, bending over and kissing her on the forehead.
It worked, and little Emma giggled, twisted her head on his thigh and looked up at him until he went home.
"Well, I won't be with you. I have other things to do in London." Send little Emma back to her house and say hello to the Rodrigues, Adrian said to her.
"That's it." Little Emma looked unhappy with her mouth curled.
"Don't forget, I'll be back for your birthday next month." Adrian shaved her little nose. "I haven't been absent from your birthday, have I?"
Little Emma beamed at the remark, but still did not forget to tease: "you were absent twice, I remember very well!"
She held up two fingers in front of Adrian, a serious expression, but with a smile in her eyes.
"Yes, I know, but something happened on those two occasions, and I didn't forget to call you, did I?" Adrian bent over to her.
"All right, all right, that's it." Little Emma looked around and, taking advantage of her family's inattention, snapped a quick kiss on his face.I laughed. Adrian gave her a "I knew it" look, touched her head, and then left with the Rodrigues. Little Emma saw him to the door, watched the car leave the window, and then said hello to his adoptive mother and went back to her bedroom.
After lying on the bed for a long time, little Emma turned over and looked at the ceiling with wide eyes. A moment later, she sprang up and made two turns in front of the mirror. And then he hummed with his hands on his hips.
"There is at most one year left. Be patient!" She looked at herself in the mirror and announced, "it's mine. No one can take it away!"
Adrian did have other things to do besides accompany Emma when he came to London. After spending several months collecting information and discussing with Claude and others, he had made a decision.
"It's all OK, but I don't have my own training base. And it's a little bit smaller In the team's box, watching the players in the blue team uniform finish their warm-up and prepare to start the game with the thunderous cheers of the fans, Adrian told the old man next to him.
"It's not small. It can hold 40000 people." The old man next to picked a snow-white eyebrows, "and this land inch gold, want to expand is not so easy thing."
As for the lack of training ground. He ignored the past directly. Adrian smiles and turns into the box, which has a TV set. You don't need to stand in front of the window to watch the ball, but you can't get into the box to watch the ball.
"On the whole. Chelsea are not bad and have potential, so make an offer, Mr Bates He said this directly after he got into the chair.
Adrian finally chose Chelsea. Claude's words awakened him: "do you invest personally? Or group investment? "
Obviously. This is a personal behavior, so naturally it should be in accordance with his view, and Adrian, who is very concerned about the giving and recovery of power, naturally prefers a blank sheet of Chelsea. In that case, he can be the chairman who doesn't care, and delegate all the power to the head coach, and let him go to the scenery to receive cheers. However, the power of the head coach was given by him, or before he came. It's a very important difference.
Adrian doesn't want to deal with Ferguson and United's fanatical fans, so it's better for Chelsea, a London team.
Of course, several conversations with Claude were also the incentive for him to make a decision. The reason for his vacillation was largely due to the fact that Manchester United undoubtedly helped ESPN to enter Europe. So Claude asked him whether he could develop the club into a first-class team after selling Chelsea? Looking back on the few impressions of Chelsea in previous lives, it's nothing more than digging up magic birds and willing to invest in buying players. There's no complicated strategy.
So the answer comes out. According to Claude, this is just in line with the process of ESPN entering Europe. Growing up with the team, gradually establishing its own reputation and brand, which is a good way of publicity.
After the decision, Adrian immediately arranged for people to contact with Chelsea. The current president, Kenneth Bates, had a bad reputation. He was known to have a bad word of mouth and had a bad relationship with Chelsea fans. Last year, he was accused of comparing the Chelsea independent fans association to a parasite.
Such a chairman is not difficult to deal with, and Adrian has a lot of relations in the UK, so there is now a scene.
"How could Mr. Cowell want to buy a Premier League team?" Bates did not answer directly, "after all, soccer and American football It's two completely different sports. "
He was careful not to express too much emotion beyond words. Almost everyone in Europe knows that the United States is a football desert, and Uncle Sam prefers "barbaric" and "aesthetic" Rugby. However, facing Bates is a media tycoon, such a big man is not he can offend, even if in the heart some disdain, but also absolutely will not show any bit.
"Every sport has its own charm." Adrian's good-natured smile, "I also have many friends in England, often with them to watch football, that kind of warm atmosphere is no less than any sport, so every world cup is a great event."
Of course, the fact is that the Premier League clubs are probably the only ones that are easy for European teams to start with. Neither Spain nor Italy can sell their teams to outsiders.
After a few more words, Bates finally got to the point: "I know that Chelsea have a lot of difficulties at the moment, but it is still a team with a long history and has its own honor. It has a lot of fans who love it - I don't mean the parasites, but the fans who really love it. So even if I want to sell it, I have to find a better owner for it. "
Adrian kept smiling, but Bates was still calm: "so even if a lot of people want to buy it, for example, a Russian rich man contacted me, and his bid was the highest, but..."
"How much did he give?" Adrian interrupted him abruptly.
Bates frowned slightly and gave the answer: "110 million."He didn't dare and would not make a false report on this number. It was not the Russian who was sitting in front of him. Adrian had his own contacts and channels. If he dared to play tricks
"I'll give you 220 million." Adrian said casually.
Even though Bates was calm, his throat heaved distinctly, and even after swallowing his mouth, he cautioned rudely, "I'm talking about pounds, Mr. Cowell."
"The pound, of course, not the Bahraini Dinar or the Cyprus pound." Adrian smiles again and looks down at him.
With all that said, Bates just wanted to wait for the price. Adrian gave him twice the price, so he was forced to die. This figure has greatly exceeded Bates' psychological expectation. He dare not and can not raise the price any more. Moreover, £ 220 million also shows Adrian's determination not to sell? That would have completely offended him.
