"Every Thanksgiving I think about how to decorate to make a new idea. It's not an easy thing, especially when there are more and more families. But on the whole, Thanksgiving has been very good these years, so I'm still qualified, right? " Just as Adrian was chattering, a sharp razor hit his throat.
"Shut up, ED, and if you're any more wordy, I'll row across." 'said Kate, who was under him.
Adrian immediately lost his voice and raised his hands to show his agreement. Then Kate, who knelt in front of him, shrank slightly and carefully shaved the white foam on his chin again.
"It's cool, you're still very good at it, Kate," said Adrian, who had shaved, rubbing his chin in the mirror. "But I don't think it's necessary to keep this old-fashioned razor. Of course, I don't mean to replace it with an electric one, but it might be a good idea to use a short handle one
"Come on, ED, you know I'm not going to actually cut it," quipped Kate, who was washing her razor next to her. "Even though sometimes I do think about it."
"Well, then should I thank Princess Anna or Serena and Miss Crawford for not killing?" Adrian teased Kate from behind and rubbed her shaved chin against her back neck.
Kate rolled her eyes and turned to take hold of his collar. "You know, ED, I can sue you for sexual harassment with this action."
"Oh?" Adrian opened his eyes. "Are you sure? You know... "
"But we're not married," Kate sneered. "In order to play Josie well, I've not only looked through her experience, but also learned more about the legal provisions of sexual harassment. In addition, the definition of sexual harassment is much more detailed than the first ones."
"All right, all right." Adrian had to raise his hands again and cooperate. It's nothing to satisfy her little sense of superiority.
"Go down. If it's too long, they'll think I'm stealing." Kate said, grinding her teeth, and immediately went out, but after a few steps, she stopped and turned back. She put her hand on Adrian's face and looked at it carefully.
"I think you can try to keep a beard. Maybe it will make you more sexy." She said so.
I rubbed my chin. Adrian nodded. "You can think about it."
Down the stairs, the living room is a lively scene, lily with EVA and Juliet shouting everywhere, Eleanor behind, do not know what is waving and giggling, and her younger Mary sitting on the ground pouting her mouth, looking unhappy no one, Patricia and amber are crying, Evelyn is sleeping soundly, Even in this kind of environment, kyliss is not here, she is probably taken away by her mother to feed her milk.
And their mothers. Better things like Sophie, Monica or Blanchett, just chat. The little ones are left to the care of nannies and maids, and they just grab them when they need to. Worse, like Jessica, Julia and Gwyneth, they have to spend time trying to coax their children. Not only that, from time to time, there will be accidents, such as some things are knocked down, some things are broken. A little guy fell down, a little guy hit someone, etc., if it wasn't for a lot of nannies and servants. The house is bound to be a mess.
Even so, it's not easy to be relaxed. When the children come, the mothers will not be absent. Moreover, Charlize, Sarah, Ivanka and yajihui all live here, so In short, whoever gets the first slice of ED's cut Turkey is likely to lead to a silent confrontation, especially this year, when even the big bellied Nicole and Naomi are here.
This is the Cowell's Thanksgiving. It's noisy, fighting in secret, and it's going to happen again at Christmas. Sometimes it's a bit of asking for trouble, but Adrian never wants to cancel it.
"I don't deny it, but it's family life, understand?" Touching Lily's head as she was ready to go to bed, Adrian said.
"But you and your mother are not married, and you are not married to aunts." Lily made a face. "So those guys at school used to make fun of me."
"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows. "Who's laughing at you?"
"Don't worry," lily waved her hand carelessly. "Since I hit a guy, this kind of talk has gone. Of course, I promise that even if the teacher knows, he will only be on my side."
"Well, it's my daughter, but there's only one thing you have to do now, and that's sleeping." He pinched his daughter's face, covered her quilt and turned off the head lamp. Then he gave her a kiss on the forehead and said good night as before. Then he left the bedroom.
Yes, family life. That's why Adrian takes the risk of having a mother to mother party once a month and pulling them together on important holidays. However, even family life can not stop some things, or even add fuel to the flames."What you want is ready." After coming out of Lily's bedroom, you Jihui, who has been waiting outside, bowed immediately.
"Good," Adrian nodded. "When the kids are asleep, I'll be there."
Then he thought of something. He looked at you Jihui a few times, laughed and made her turn around in front of him. Finally, he slapped her in the face: "I changed my mind. By Ji Hui, 2D animation is still a bit too ethereal after all. So, I need you to play Xia in DOA. Is that ok? Don't tell me you don't have props. Don't think I don't know you bought them. "
"So, is Xia in love or Xia in prison?" After surprise, Ji Hui asked with a soft smile.
Adrian did not speak, but looked at her meaningfully. Ji Hui waited for a few minutes and then bowed again: "I know. I'm going to prepare."
She's always been so sweet and eye eyed that Adrian would stay with her and play tricks whenever the women were fighting in secret at parties. On this point, the women also acquiesced. First, you Ji Hui has always looked like a low brow and never offended anyone. Secondly, she is the only Asian here. Adrian and her overnight stay have at least achieved superficial fairness.
Not to mention the family affairs, 2005 has come to an end, there is no AC media competition. The major film companies were relieved and got a lot of box office. Even if the animation format of the beginning and the end of the film was canceled, the film still made a good box office, and liv was praised or criticized by film critics again as a vase.
"That's it, liv. Keep going. Princess is a good job for you." Some people make fun of it.
In addition to that. There is also a new Disney film that has barely anything to do with Adrian: The Legend of Narnia: the lion, the Witch and the wardrobe by British writer C.S. Lewis. Robert shey, CEO of the new line, was the first to target this series of novels. Despite the absence of the Lord of the rings trilogy, the new line has been fully improved in terms of Finance under Adrian's care.
But that doesn't satisfy Shay. Who doesn't want to make more and more profitable movies? In particular, Miramax, who is also a subsidiary of AC media, has made huge profits in Pirates of the Caribbean, which makes Shea even more restless. This time, he did not like the golden compass. This time, he took a fancy to Narnia: the lion, the Witch and the wardrobe.
Adrian, however, wanted to say hello to him. Then he recommended it to Dinis and made a small deal.
"There's no denying that C.S. Lewis's series is very good. But it's not suitable for film adaptation - or full film adaptation. You have a good eye, Robert. The lion, the Witch and the wardrobe is a good choice. As long as the movie reaches the Hollywood standard, the box office is not a problem. And the real problem is, the next one, a little bit careless. If you deviate a little bit, the next movie will fail. That's my judgment. The series is still less connected to each other. " Facing the angry but not easy to attack Shea, Adrian explained.
Then, he gave the other party a sweet date: "well, Robert, I know your mind, I can give you a series, in the next year, the cost is not high, but the return will be amazing, if it works properly."
Shay recognized what he was saying, struggled for a few minutes and nodded, "I'll follow up."
Because of Adrian's attention, a series of novels have been officially published in the second half of this year through its publishing company. If the situation is good, it is not a problem to start preparing films next year. Just as the new line needs a series of films, Adrian also intends to give them one. This series with low investment but high return is theirs.
However, there is no pie in the sky. In order to get a high box office, this series of dog blood movies not only attracts a large number of young people who love fantasy, but also needs a lot of commercial operation. Therefore, Adrian must send representatives to follow up, so as to remind them of the key points and intervene in the internal affairs of the new line.
After all, although AC media has acquired the new line, Xie Yi still has some shares in his hand, and because the original agreement has been sitting in the position of CEO, the new line always has a semi independent flavor. So, even though Shea has been honest and diligent, AC media has not given up the idea of controlling the new line, and this is a good opportunity.
Shay also understands this. Although reluctant, AC media has always had rules and basically fair film resources. He has seen the development in recent years, so he said, "I will follow up". As long as Adrian doesn't go too far, he will probably turn a blind eye.
In 2005, although many film makers were happy that there was no competition from AC media, they soon couldn't laugh. At the end of December, several more films were screened to hit the Oscars, such as Paul Haggis's "Tower of heaven.". The film is so similar in technique and editing to crash, which won the best film last year, that some film critics laughed at him, saying that he had no innovation at all, but upgraded the story range from Los Angeles to the whole world, but most people gave good comments."But there is no doubt that there is no doubt that you are forced to see these pictures together in a helpless way by chance. The whole movie is depressing and flashy, and Denise knight and Jennifer Aniston have also given the best performances ever, and haggis deserves another golden man. " It's been praised.
Indeed, shortly after haggis's version of the tower of heaven was finished, Adrian watched it in a special screening room. Although, like "life in a glass", the cut sub lens has little connection with the original version, haggis presents the story in his own way. The master of the plot is more satisfactory than the "crash", and the expression of the theme is not inferior to the original.
It is worth mentioning that although the plot of the Japanese side has been modified, you Ji Hui played quite well, especially when dancing because she was deaf and couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and finally let another woman snatch the man she was easy to hook up with, the loss and resentment with self destruction tendency was strongly transmitted to the audience.
Unfortunately, this is America. Critics' attention was focused on Dennis and Aniston, who also performed well, especially when compared with Mr. and Mrs. Smiths, so she was ignored. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, Adrian's goal has been achieved. What's next
Haggis could have been the last topic figure in 2005. If it wasn't for another movie, it would have been on the screen. That's right, directed by Adrian. Out of control with Natalie as the absolute protagonist.
The publicity of the film was not high, and it took mid December to release the notice. At this time, everyone is busy preparing for Christmas, and "Tower of heaven" had large posters posted everywhere two months ago. Rao is so, still the first time attracted a lot of attention, who let the director and production of this film is the famous miracle director? At this time, the aura of "pianist" and critical European filmmakers continues to shine, not to mention the new actress Natalie Portman.
"It's an indescribable, * * type miracle director's work. Adrian's film is full of female protagonists. He's already tried it in Gwyneth's "the devil's head" - and frankly, I've always thought it was one of the worst works by director miracle. But it is the first time that a single heroine has been used in the thriller suspense genre. No surprise, Adrian continued his accurate grasp of the plot and the camera. Except for a slight delay in the first 10 minutes and 30 to 40 minutes, the overall situation is basically compact and there are not too many gorgeous scenes. The suspense is revealed at the last moment, which makes people sigh.
Natalie's performance is also surprisingly wonderful. Here, we can't see her passion as Joan Carter. She is just a poor girl who has been hurt and lost in her chaotic inner world. She's so committed that she's almost integrated into her role and deserves everyone's applause. Maybe, she can achieve more. "
-- Richard Hansen of the New York Times has a lot of good reviews. Although it is a semi original script, Adrian has accumulated countless experience and has been thinking about it for a long time, so he has maintained an average level on the whole. And Natalie, because most of the characteristics of this role is almost her portrayal, coupled with Adrian's training in the shooting, played a 150% level in which there was no praise, which is a strange thing.
However, despite the positive comments from critics, more people are focusing on the other hand, not the guys who cry "you can guess the ending when you see the beginning". Their eyes are on the heroine.
"As expected, Adrian will always release another film at the end of the year, with at least one actress performing well in it."
"Natalie's performance is really wonderful, Adrian once again let her play extraordinary strength."
"This is the third time Natalie Portman has worked with Adrian, and is a small number of wonder girls."
Ridicule, ridicule, envy, jealousy, gnashing teeth and so on, director of miracle, wonderful performance of the heroine, together with the records of the past few years, can fully explain what Adrian is thinking.
This is ridiculous! Who does he think he is? Does he really think the film academy is listening to him alone?! Many people think of it with anger or hatred or jealousy.
But want to return to think, but a link to reality, but can't help but some depressed. Similar things have been more than once and twice, each time it seems that he can not succeed, but every time he laughs to the end. If you look at the theme of the pianist that he launched in Cannes this year, how many anniversaries of the victory of World War II this year, and how he shaped his image after that, the probability may be less than 100%, but how different is this situation from 100%?
But Adrian doesn't have much pride in it. He's sure about the results of the pianist, but there's still work to be done on the other.
But he was not in a hurry. Anyway, "out of control" had not been officially released, so he spent the new year leisurely after telling the story, and took his daughters to visit his uncle in New York as usual. Of course, being reprimanded is indispensable, and the daughters seem to like to watch their father being reprimanded, and the uncle seems to have noticed this. After the initial comments on the business, they began to take the tune. At this time, a group of little guys headed by lily came around and looked at their father with a smile.His aunt, who had always defended him, said nothing at this time, and even laughed and said, "it's nothing, ed. you know, your uncle loves you."
