Chapter 93 A drama

Adrian, who was busy teasing Liv from time to time, didn't know what Gwyneth was thinking, but he didn't care even if he knew it. She was a woman who was very good at managing herself. In addition, Blanchett, Monica, and Julia all ranked as the best actress. Even Nicole had a best supporting actress, but she had nothing but nominations. It was normal for her to have such a small repetition occasionally.

In this regard, Adrian's suppression of her was very correct, and he almost understood her mind, so she could not escape from his palm.

In fact, Gwyneth herself knew this, otherwise she would not have talked to Blanchett about this. When Adrian was away, she and she could have been treated like paint and glue. In a sense, Gwyneth seemed to want to use Blanchett's mouth to express her dissatisfaction.

This is off topic. The arrival of Gwyneth and Liv is just the beginning. Then, Adrian's women came here one after another to stay for a while. Julia and Zeta Jones, Nicole and Naomi, Britney and Christina, Alexander and Miranda Keer, Lin Chiling and Lin Chilei, etc., did not miss any of them. Even Charlize took the time to come with Sarah. Unfortunately, Ivanka had to work hard to deal with the company's affairs and had to be busy with her studies. She was still a student at Stanford Business School, so she came alone, which disappointed Adrian, who was a little thoughtful, quite disappointed.

Of course, it is basically the last couple who leave after the first couple. As the secretary assistant, Ivanka was trained very well by Charlize in this regard.

Besides the daughters, there are only Blanchett, and Jessica, who have been living here for the time being, but she can’t live there all the time.

Here, women came to visit Adrian in pairs and took a vacation with him. Outside, AC Media's movies were launched one by one.

May to June is "Life and Death", June to the end of June is "Tomb Raider", then Jack Chen's "Rush Hour 2" from the end of June to July, and Naomi starring "Transparent Man" from the end of July to August is affiliated with Universal, which is invested in and released by Universal.

Originally, the new line planned to put "Love Return to Alabama" starring Sarah at the end of August. Although the time may be a bit tight, this romantic romantic comedy was promoted when it started filming, and it is still OK to be in the end of the summer vacation.

But this proposal was rejected by Adrian on the grounds that it needed to be fully promoted, and of course, in fact, I won’t talk about why.

There is no doubt that these movies have achieved quite good results. "Rush Hour 2" has the first one to base it, and it doesn't matter if the plot of the second one is slightly worse. What's more, there is the only Japanese actress Yuki Nakama who has successfully gained a foothold in Hollywood. In addition, Jack Chen is still very popular in Japan, so he defeated all the movies of the same period when it was released in Japan.

After that, "Transparent Man" also received a lot of praise. The director arranged the horror and horror atmosphere just right, and the special effects team also made the process of transparent people very realistically, winning a lot of applause. Even though he was designated as R-level by MPAA, he won more than 25 million box offices on the first weekend after his release.

"Charlie's Angels 2" is a little worse. In recent years, there have been many action actresses. Needless to say, Dennis's wife, Adrian specifically guided her to take the action route. Now she can basically be considered an action female star, not to mention "Tomb Raider" has started this summer vacation.

However, "Charlie's Angels 2" also has the first film, and the three main actors have their own styles, so it's not much different.

In short, AC Media has basically achieved a great harvest this summer vacation. The senior executives of other film companies were envious and breathed a sigh of relief, at least the gap was not big.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that this was just a prelude. The truly powerful movies, "X-Men", "Lord of the Rings", and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" were basically all in the end of the year.

In addition, a number of very commercially valuable movies have been put on the agenda. The preparations for Miramax have begun. It goes without saying that "Pirates of the Caribbean" that convenes the actors for training. "The Spy" has been confirmed to start filming in October. The role of Jason Bourne is Joaquin Phoenix. He lost to his brother Revan while playing the game of fist, so he had to take on the role.

This is actually not bad. Ruifan has always followed the literary and artistic route, and does not value box office and pay much. He only accepts scripts he likes. If it weren't for Adrian this time, he would refuse without even thinking about it.

There are also examples of actors who can maintain a lot of fame and popularity in this way, but relatively speaking, there are too few, and more are a bit famous but always just a middle-level actor.

But Ruifan was within a few percent range, and his handsome appearance and excellent acting skills made him have countless fans on the literary and artistic route, and the drug abuse incidents have gone far away.

So, it might be better to keep him going, and in order to cooperate with his plan, Adrian has a better role to Ruifan in two years.

As for the two main young female characters in "Spy Shadow", Adrian lets Liv play the first heroine Mary, while Jessica plays the liaison who is just a supporting role in the first one and then upgrades to the main character in the third one.

Although Liv is positioned as a vase in a literary film, she has arranged a movie for her this year, and Jeffrey Rush has to play with her, she also has to show off her face in business from time to time. A role like Mary in "The Spy" is very good.

Although Jessica has tasted the sweetness of making a movie, Adrian is not in a hurry to let her take on too many movie roles. It is better to let her hone her acting skills with this time.

Although with her performance, the title of vase will sooner or later be worn on her head, a vase with some acting skills is better than a pure vase, so this supporting role, who has not many scenes, is also very suitable for her later role as the protagonist.

This is all for the future. Adrian stayed in the UK for leisurely vacation from June to July. Of course, he didn't care about anything. He would contact the United States from time to time. Ivanka would come immediately if there were important things, so he had enough time to adjust his mood and observe the fruits he planted.

********************

Thank you for sending me, Xixi.After getting off the car, the red-haired girl turned her head and said to the people in the car with a smile.

You're welcome, it's just the way.The Asian girl with long black hair looked very quiet and smiled.

By the way, Xixi, we will go to the suburbs with Saren and the others next week, so you can come together.

The red-haired girl immediately said, you should attend more parties so that you can fully understand everyone. I bet that although you have been in school for several months, you will not be more familiar with one hand.

Liu Yifei hesitated for a while, as if she was a little moved, but she finally just sighed and showed an apology: Sorry, Tina, I have to ask my mother first.

Oh, it's your mom again.

The red-haired girl rolled her eyes exaggeratedly. I can be 100% sure that your mother would not agree. Please, Xixi, you have to have your own opinion. We are just going to play and will not do any illegal activities. Why bother with your mother's opinion?Have you never done anything that violates the rules?

But...that's my mother.The girl smiled, and her previous hesitation and heart-warming were gone.

OK OK OK.Red-haired girl Tina sighed and finally made a phone call gesture. If she changes her mind, remember to tell me.

knew.Liu Yifei nodded and waved goodbye to her.

After a few blocks, I quickly returned to my home. The students who could attend St. Paul’s girls’ school were either rich or noble, and their places of residence were naturally not far apart. This method was a good way to meet new friends.

After saying hello to the driver, Liu Yifei opened the door and entered her home. Before she closed the door, she heard laughter from inside. It seemed that guests were coming to her home, but...

She looked up at the dark sky. What kind of guests would choose to visit at this time?

Mom, I'm back.The girl didn't think much and then shouted.

Sissi is back Ah.With joy in my mother's voice, she walked out of the living room in two steps, hugged her daughter and looked at her with a smile. She was still so cute.

Mom... Liu Yifei immediately spoke in a long voice.

But Liu Xiaoli was right. Her long black hair, a gray-blue long-sleeved T-shirt, plus tight jeans and canvas shoes made Liu Yifei look cute and full of youthful vitality.

You are back just in time, and a distinguished guest came to his house today.Liu Xiaoli said as she pulled her daughter into it.

When I came to the living room, a middle-aged white man was sitting on the couch in the middle, reading a newspaper. After hearing the sound, he raised his head and smiled slightly at the girl, and asked in pure Chinese: How are you doing recently, Xixi?

Ah…Uncle Adrian?Liu Yifei hesitated for a while and then immediately recognized the other party.

Adrian has also been to her house before, and during this period in the United States and the United Kingdom, no Westerners she has come into contact with can speak Chinese as good as him, so she was very impressed, and her mother told her a lot that they could settle down in London today thanks to this media tycoon.

After a few months, you have become much more beautiful and are already a big girl.He continued with a smile.

Thanks.Liu Yifei smiled softly and lowered her head, looking very shy.

She didn't see it, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Adrian's face, and her mother breathed a little relieved.

Sissi Ah, can you help me with Adrian here? I want to cook for dinner myself.Liu Xiaoli said again at this time.

But mother... Liu Yifei was a little puzzled.

Don't, you can't let Ed be here alone, okay, that's it.Liu Xiaoli pressed her daughter to the sofa without saying a word, and then went straight to the kitchen.

Helplessly, Liu Yifei had to respond, but she was always a little restless and did not dare to look at Adrian.

Your mother said, you have performed on stage plays in school, can you tell me what kind of role it is?Adrian raised the conversation, as if he hadn't noticed her discomfort.

At the beginning, the girl just used um or yes to answer. She would only say a little more when she really needed explanation, and she was a little timid.

But as the chat deepened, she unconsciously let go of herself. Later, she not only took the initiative to talk a lot about her affairs, but also was often amused by the other party. If it weren't for the obvious difference between this person's appearance and Asians, Liu Yifei would even think she had returned to China.

This steamed Wuchang fish is really good. Ms. Liu's skills are really good. She hasn't eaten such authentic Wuhan dishes for a long time.

During dinner together, Adrian said after tasting Liu Xiaoli's cooking skills.

That’s of course, my mother not only danced well when she was in Wuhan, but also had a great cooking skills!

Liu Yifei said proudly, and then asked strangely: Uncle Ed, have you eaten authentic Wuhan dishes before?

I have eaten in Hong Kong, but if you say that, maybe it is not that authentic. After all, I have never been to the mainland.Adrian shrugged.

My this is not authentic. Although the Wuchang fish was transported by air, it is relatively fresh.Liu Xiaoli touched her daughter's head in love.

By the way, mom, there is something... I want to tell you... Liu Yifei suddenly became hesitant, Tina and Salen asked me to go... to their party...

no.Liu Xiaoli rejected her daughter's request without thinking.

What's going on?Adrian asked immediately.

The Tina and Saren are Sissi's classmates in St. Paul. They are very fun-loving young people. They know about parties all day long and always want to take Sissi with them.Liu Xiaoli's tone was a little dissatisfied.

They are not bad people.Liu Yifei argued in a low voice.

I know they are not bad people, but they spend much more time playing than learning. Now it is the best time to learn knowledge to enrich themselves. What should I do if I visit this game in the future?

Liu Xiaoli said her daughter without hesitation.

Seeing the girl flattened her mouth, Adrian couldn't help but interrupt: It's no big deal to have fun properly, attending some classmates to hold parties. Studying is very important, playing is equally important, and a suitable rest can make people work harder.

You don't understand, Ed, our Sissi is too simple, has a weak temperament and doesn't have many opinions and doesn't know how to protect herself. She does whatever others ask her to do. There are many people at the party, and there are many people who smoke marijuana at such a young age. Her classmates may not be bad people, but what about other people?If something happens, I can't even cry.

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and sighed.

Liu Yifei stopped talking. She knew that her mother would not agree, so she didn't take it to heart, just...

Why does my mother seem to be complaining to Uncle Ed?

This made the girl feel uneasy again. She knew a little about her mother's incident in New York. She had worked hard enough and she really didn't want these things to happen.

Fortunately, after dinner, Adrian stayed for a while before leaving. Although Liu Xiaoli tried to keep him here for one night, he politely and resolutely declined, which somewhat relieved Liu Yifei.

But she still felt that her mother still had something to do, and when she was playing with her, she was always absent-minded.

Xixi, have you slept?After knocking on the door, Liu Xiaoli pushed open the bedroom door.

Is there anything wrong?Liu Yifei, who was sitting on the bed reading a book with the bedside lamp on, raised her head.

There are...some things I want to tell you.Liu Xiaoli at the door seemed a little hesitant.

Then say it.Liu Yifei happily sorted out a place on her bed to facilitate her mother to sit down.

Daughter Ah, mom... Liu Xiaoli sat down and looked at her daughter, mom... I hope you can... I hope you can...

Just say whatever I need to do.The girl didn't realize anything, and knelt on the bed and hugged her mother from behind. As long as I could do it, I would definitely do it.

But...Sixi Ah...

Just as Uncle Ed said, I am also a big girl. My mother works so hard, of course I should share some of it.

Looking at her daughter's bright eyes, Liu Xiaoli reached out and touched her head. She gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind, leaned into her ear and said softly.

Liu Yifei was a little confused at first, but soon turned pale. Her hands holding her mother unconsciously released, looking at her guilty mother in disbelief.

I know... this is a little... this is a little... Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter with a wry smile, as if she could not say the rest.

How can you do this... How can you do this... Liu Yifei murmured and took a few steps back, looking at her mother with a strange look. She has always been weak and can only rely on her mother. She is still angry until now, and can only question her softly.

I'm sorry, Qianxi, but... Liu Xiaoli stretched out her hand to hug her, but the girl screamed and stepped back, her pale face hugging her arms, trembling like a frightened little rabbit.

How can you do this!You are my mother!Liu Yifei finally called out, then jumped out of bed and hid in the bathroom and ignored her mother's scream and slammed the door.

Then, the girl sat down with helplessness against the door, gently twitched her nose, and tears began to flash in her eyes. She tried her best to block her ears and didn't want to listen to my mother's voice outside, but her heart kept twitching.

All the affairs of her mother in her life were arranged by her mother. She never thought about what she would do if her mother could no longer arrange them or arranges some things she could not accept.

It can even be said that without her mother, she could not live alone.

Unexpectedly, this day came so quickly that my mother actually...

My mother actually asked her to do that.

Thinking of this, a huge sense of helplessness and emptiness poured into her heart, making her feel so uncomfortable that she didn't know what to do. She couldn't help but want to cry out loud for a moment, and then she heard the crying.

mom?

Liu Yifei opened the bathroom door, and her heart, which had been twitching, suddenly felt aching. The mother who always took care of her and made her happy and laughed, was also helplessly sitting on the ground, crying sadly.

Mom, don't do this, Mom.The girl couldn't help but shed tears and grabbed her mother's hand and wanted to drag her up.

I'm sorry for you, Xixi, but what can I do... Liu Xiaoli sobbed and said, "Who made us women, who made us miserable life... You are by my side, you see how the An family treats us mother and daughter... Just because you are a girl, the two old people in the An family are unwilling to recognize you... Just because I am a dancer, they think I'm from a low-born background and can't deserve your father, so they try their best to drive us away... You know how we got through these years... I only have this ability, and I only have this capital... I really can't imagine what to do after losing these things... I'm sorry for you, Xixi, I can't give you a good future. I'm an incompetent mother...

She said without hesitation, as if she wanted to vent all the sadness in her heart. Tears slid across Liu Yifei's face. She couldn't help but hug her mother tightly and said, "Mom, stop talking, Mom, I'll just agree."

Liu Xiaoli raised her head, watched her daughter cry again, and repeatedly said "I'm sorry," which made her hug her even tighter, and her tone became choked: I know that my mother has paid a lot for me, and I should have paid for her... Anyway... Anyway... I can't do it anyway...

Although she was still sobbing, Liu Xiaoli finally felt relieved in her heart. It was worth the effort to act in such a big drama.
