Chapter 10: Stop the troops

When he greets you, you must be very confused, but not too obvious, just like... the first time I came to this country.

In the studio, Takashi Kiyomizu was explaining the role to the heroine of "Grudge 2", but she was still bearded.

The translator stands by to supplement and explain in the event of poor communication. Although a work has been released all over the world, Shimizu Tsuke's English has not improved much.

Can I understand it as being puzzled and being prepared at the same time?

Jennifer Love Hewitt, who looked a little melancholy, asked, standing next to him, the photographer who investigated the house in the movie and then killed by Kayako. Of course, it has nothing to do with Mr. Edison Chen, but is a popular Japanese drama actor Takashi Omachi, and he doesn't know who recommended it to him.

Adrian's eyes stayed on Takashi Machi for a long time before moving away. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, looking a little weird, but disappeared after moving to Love.

How are you working together?Adrian asked Yuki Hui next to him.

Not bad, Jane is a very smart girl.Yuki Hui replied with a pleasing look on her face, not caring about other people's eyes at all. In fact, most of the crew knew about her relationship with Adrian.

Adrian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking for a few seconds, she kept looking at Love. She kept focusing on the director and not glanced at him, so she gave up on this plan.

Although Love has always been Sarah's little follower and Adrian has played with her several times, he always looks like he is submissive.

Adrian, who is familiar with women, knows that at least one-third of her is pretending, but so what?

The benefits were given enough. If she was really a smart person, in fact, Love had proved this point that she should be clear about what she could do.

Besides, in the past year or so, Sarah has no longer been concerned about the things she did back then. The young follower has long lost his reputation, so don’t worry about Yuki Hui getting along with Love?

More importantly, Yuki Hui doesn't have many scenes in "The Curse 2". If Tsuke Shimizu was quick enough, Adrian could have brought her with her when she returned to Los Angeles.

I must find a way, Mr. Adrian.When Adrian asked, Shimizu Tsuke answered this and bowed.

As a few directors in Japan who have international influence, after the release of "The Curse", Shimizu Tsuke, who was still a new director, immediately jumped several levels, and may even be on his teacher Hideo Nakada. Who made the adaptation rights of "Midnight Bell" take away by Adrian?

However, Shimizu Tsuke was still very respectful to Hideo Nakada.

I don’t know whether there was no ban on him or not. In my memory, the earliest Japanese version was rumored to be scared to death less than two days after it was released, so it was immediately stopped and the box office was no longer necessary.

Although there are similar rumors when this version was released in Japan, it was immediately clarified that Adrian would not allow things that affect the box office to happen, and the Japanese film market has always been the dumping place of Hollywood.

In this way, Shimizu Tsuke's legendary nature will inevitably be much lower. After all, not every director has a title that is scary, even if this title is not easy to verify.

After thinking for a while, Adrian immediately threw it away. This is Shimizu Tsu's business, what does it have to do with him.Even his statement was not taken seriously, so there was no need to be too polite to the Japanese.

As for animation, the progress is very smooth. The Japanese 2D animation is indeed quite outstanding. However, although Miyazaki Hayao is the most famous, it is not only Ghibli, Japan. This time, there are several studios that have been connected to produce the animation version of "The Matrix", and they are all very famous in the animation circle around the world.

Needless to mention Tokyo Studio 40C and 4 degrees Celsius Studio, they are involved in the production of the original version.

In addition, Oriental Light and Magic, the studio produced the film version of "Pokemon" and was released in North America last year, and achieved a good box office.

AC Media obtained the distribution rights of "Pokemon" in North America, and the movie version was naturally released by their film companies. In addition to making a lot of money, it also took this opportunity to launch a new female singer through the theme song of the movie version of "Pokemon".

That's right, it's that Jessica Simpson who almost became a member of the MMC like Britney and Christina, but was eventually eliminated.

After finally being favored by a small music company, the company went bankrupt before the record that it had been recorded for three years was released.

She should have signed a contract with Sony Records, but MCM Records emerged as a new force. In addition, she has always been known for her favorite young singers and has released outstanding girl singers in succession, so she was finally signed by MCM at the beginning of last year, and then trained for a while, and got the opportunity to sing the theme song of "Pokemon", which made her famous in one fell swoop.

At this time, Adrian learned that its record company had signed Jessica Simpson, but his first reaction was why there were as many girls named Jessica in the United States as Kate in the United Kingdom?

Well, this is an off-topic. Going back to the animated version of "The Matrix", in addition to the above mentioned, Avex Mde Studio, a subsidiary of Aihui, also participated in the production.

As one of the local pillar industries, large Japanese companies will involve some animation production, and Ai Hui is no exception.

Since AC Media is one of Aihui’s board members, what are the problems with their participation?

Besides, Avex mde Studio's technology is also excellent, no worse than old studios such as 4 degrees Celsius.

Although most of the animation studios involved in the production are from Japan, not all of them in the United States are not without them. Hanna-Barbera Studio, a subsidiary of AC Media, is also one of the members.

It is the studio founded by William Hannah and Nassephine Barbara, which has produced animations such as "Cat and Mouse" and "Scooby" and "Scooby". TBS also acquired the studio when he robbed MGM, so it has now become an industry under AC Media.

Although AC Media mainly uses Pixar's 3D in animated movies, the ones broadcast on TV stations are basically 2D animations, so 2D animations have not been pulled down. In addition to getting the North American distribution rights of "Pokemon" from Nintendo, it also bought the copyright of a series of animations such as "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "South Park". The former is very popular among children, while the latter is very popular among adults.

Hanna-Barbera Studio has also made great progress, and the ratings of "Power Girl" produced more than two years ago were also very good.

I'm very satisfied, everyone, I hope to keep it going.After learning about the situation in detail, Adrian said to several people in charge.

They are all considered to be a top animation studio, and the competitive atmosphere is also good, and they started to do it as early as the second half of last year, so the first part of "The Revival of the Machine" has been completed by one-third. If the progress is maintained, it can be played at the end of the year or at the beginning of next year.

Of course, Adrian didn't plan to use too many tricks, so the Buddha statues at the beginning of the original version were all cancelled, and frequent mysterious things would only make the story bad.

He was very satisfied with the outstanding performances of several major studios, so he had nothing to say. After understanding them in all aspects, he encouraged him to end the matter here.

The two most important things are like this, as for another temporary issue of being forced to be forced to Claude...

Mr. Adrian, I am Matsuda Nanako.

A woman with an indescribable gentle temperament bowed deeply to Adrian sitting on the sofa, and her simple outfit gave her a housewife.

Yuki Hui, who was kneeling on the carpet, couldn't help but look up and glance at the other person. Although Nanako looked calm, the timid and helpless look between her eyebrows was not obscure.

I was probably like this at the beginning, right?This kind of thought suddenly arose in her mind.

Yuki Ei.

Adrian called her at this time, and Yuki Hui then put down the knife, wiped her hands with a tissue, and then owed her to leave the hotel suite.

When the door was closed, she saw Nanako sitting down with her head down and respectfully sitting next to Adrian. Adrian lifted Nanako's chin without hesitation, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Is there any problem?Since Ed said that Matsuda Nanako was good, those guys would definitely send her over to curry favor with him.

While drinking in the bar, Ayumi Hamasaki, who asked her out, said indifferently.

But... Yuki Hui hesitated and seemed to have to think about something else.

What's there, Yukie, this is like this society, especially in Japan, women are still just accessories, Hamasaki shrugged, You see, I am now the most popular singer in Japan, and I can almost be on par with those producers on Aihui Records, but how much bitterness is there and how much effort is there, and how many people know?And it is still indispensable to Ed's support.I didn't mean to mention the past things, Yuki Ei, but to be honest, if you were not taken to the United States by Ed, even if you have achieved such achievements now, situations like Matsushima Nanako will still fall on you.

I didn't want to say this, Ayu... Yuki Hui was not angry. This is what Ayumi Hamasaki got into the conversation with her friends in private, and she spoke very directly.

Although most of the unique side is packaged, it also requires that foundation to package it, right?

What's more, Ayumi Hamasaki and Yuki Hye still rolled with Adrian on the bed together.

I mean... You know, Mr. Amachi is filming "Gentleman 2" and Miss Matsushima seems to be dating him. Is Ed doing this a bit too much.She said with some concern.

In fact, this further proves my point of view. Let’s not talk about whether the matter of their date is true, so what if it is true?It's not just a matter of a big shot, and Ed's big pervert has always been a big shot, so don't think so much.

Aki Hamasaki shook his head, then laughed and leaned over to Yuki Hui's ear: If you are really worried, I happen to have a few friends in the circle, maybe you can introduce them to Ed?

You obviously don’t drink much, but why do you always say some drunken words?Yuki Hui was slightly embarrassed and her head turned aside.

Well, she was indeed a little worried. Although Adrian had many women around him and was not short of Asians, Lin Chilei came to Tokyo a few days ago, but Yuki Hye was always unique.

She naturally would not want this uniqueness to be broken, although overall she was both gentle and lively, but she was not so stupid that she was not scheming at all.

However, if Yuki Hui knew the real reason why Adrian was interested in Matsuda Nanako, she might not have thought so.

Since arriving in Tokyo, Adrian has been constantly in contact with Sony people. Although Sony Records is only part of the entire group, it is almost squeezed out by Ai Hui in Japan, so it is relatively easy to collect relevant information.

And this is the Japanese territory, and he is here alone. If they have any ideas, it is a good opportunity now.

It was just a few days later, and although there were many attendances in various cocktail parties, there was no progress. Sony always respected him, as if what happened in the United States had nothing to do with them.

This is also related to insufficient intelligence. Sony Records' trends are still not very clear, so Adrian simply took the initiative to find a breakthrough and told the cadres sent by Sony to accompany him at the cocktail party that Nanako Matsuda looks very good.

In fact, he has many choices, such as Sakai Dako, but she got married two years ago and was probably almost played by Gao Sui Yuichi. The three Japanese drama queens from the mid-1990s to the mid-1910s in Japan, Takako Tobashi, had already played them, and Yuki Ei Nakama was taken to the United States by him, which was just right to try the currently popular Matsushima Nanako.

In fact, he had this idea long before, otherwise he would not have had a strange feeling when he saw Takashi Machi on the set of "Grudge 2".

Needless to say, Nanako took the initiative to come to her house that night, and her eyes were down and her eyes looked very pleasing to Adrian's appetite, so she naturally accepted it without hesitation.

But things were beyond his expectations again. Although he pretended to be unintentional and showed some slight slight in front of Nanako, Nanako did not move at all, and Sony did not respond at all.

Does it mean that the fact that Japanese people like to use women as spies only exist in novels?

Adrian thought depressedly.

Could it be that the original layout itself was problematic? The entire Sony Group may not care about it, but Sony Records cannot react without Ah at all?

So, Nanako of Pity had to completely bear his dissatisfaction.

Bang... Bangmachikun... I'm so sorry, I can't come here recently... because... something... Matsushima Nanako kept her tone with the best of her strength. The fine sweat beads at the tip of her nose and a somewhat dispersed look showed that this woman was almost at her limit. Sorry, this is... the company's business, I can't say... Yes, I'm doing a massage, and then I'm going to another place soon...

Finally, the call ended, and the phone dropped to the ground. Nanako, who was dressed in "Spicy Teacher GTO", held her hand holding the phone on the floor-to-ceiling glass of the suite, and then screamed wildly and swayed her butt so that the people behind could impact more fiercely. Her lost smile made her look like she had collapsed.

No wonder, in the past few days, Nako Matsushima has been played with by Adrian. I won’t talk about the role-playing of "Spicy Teacher GTO". I won’t talk about the 4P of Ai Hui’s popular singer Ayumi Hamasaki and Hollywood’s most outstanding Japanese actor Yuki Nakama. I even found a room on the set of "Grudge 2" to let her watch the shooting outside through the crack of the door and endure the infringement.

However, although Adrian was not polite to her at all, he did not really mess with her. After all, it was not easy to cultivate a popular Japanese drama queen. When he left, he even wrote a check of $3 million.

As for Sony...

Then there is only one explanation. The entire Sony adopts a default attitude towards Sony Records, neither supporting nor opposing it. After all, although we are young and developing very quickly, we are also very stable at the same time. There is basically no major problem, so there is no need to confront us in a comprehensive manner.

Adrian discussed this with Cloud on the phone before getting on the plane. Of course, this is based on the fact that Sony Records have movements.

Okay, then we adjust our plan and wait and see. Obviously, Disney is just here to disrupt the situation. If Warner announced the acquisition of Universal Music, it might still need to be taken seriously, but now, I think they are likely to just want to make our acquisition miscarriage by raising the stock price.

Claude then said, but the problem is that even if they estimate the working capital we may hold, even if I and you don’t invest additional funds, it’s enough to get Universal Music if they raise funds. Why are they doing this?

After all, the success of the acquisition case is determined by the funds. If there is unlimited amount of funds, no matter how high the other party raises the stock price, it can be eaten in one bite, so the opponent's reaction is very puzzling.

They discussed it several times but couldn't get any results. In the end, they had to decide to stay calm and not add additional capital investment. They would talk about it for a while before talking about it. Anyway, it is common for a acquisition to take one or two months.

No matter what the opponent's plan is, it will be revealed sooner or later.

So, after Adrian returned to Los Angeles, he began to make final preparations for "Bones in Winter". The studios in Missouri were ready. As long as the actors of the two roles of Little Boy and Little Daughter can be turned on.

You guys did a great job, Parker, I'm going to supervise the final audition right away.Adrian flipped through the young actor's form and said to the casting director that he was happy with their work.

Wait, what is this?He suddenly turned to a little girl's form and asked.

Oh, she is from Georgia, and her family has just moved to Los Angeles, and although she has no acting experience and is blonde and blue eyes, she is very aura and I think you deserve to see her performance in person.

Parker explained.

I will.Adrian nodded as he clamped his chin and stared at the form.
