Chapter 102 No need to worry

There are many eye-catching entertainment news from late August to early September 2001, but the most eye-catching one was revealed by Us Weekly. Kate Beckinsale, who became a popular female star in Hollywood because of Laura Crawford, who starred in the movie version of Tomb Raider, had a five-year-old daughter.

In the eyes of most Hollywood entertainment journalists, Kate Beckinsale, who came from the UK, is a quite bumpy actress. She started to play roles in movies as early as the early 1990s, and even once served as the heroine of the super-selling commercial blockbuster "Tornado". Unfortunately, the most eye-catching protagonist of this movie is Tornado, so even though her performance is pretty good, she still failed to soar.

In the following years, she felt quite disappearing, as if she flashed like most actresses, and then no one asked about it.

However, at the end of the century, she gained a lot of popularity through "Destiny Destiny" and "Agent Beautiful", and she truly became a first-line actress. The title of British Rose fell on her again.

Immediately afterwards, she won the nomination for Best Supporting Actress with "The Rules of Cider House", which seemed to be a bit like an acting and an idol. Although some people criticized her for being a vase, she could not cause much storm.

Then this year, the movie version of Tomb Raider came out under the expectation of countless game fans. The wonderful and exquisite action and excellent plot design made this movie adapted from the game popular among many people and topped the North American box office list. Although it was only one week, for a game-adapted movie, the results were already quite good.

Kate Beckinsale is also known as the most savory Lara Crawford, or the actress closest to Lara's temperament. Perhaps not all game fans agree with it, but most people think so.

As for those non-game fans, Kate's agile skills and good plot have also won a lot of support, so her popularity has suddenly risen by several levels, almost among the popular female stars.

In this case, Us Weekly published photos of her and her daughter, and you can imagine how much sensation it would cause.

There are about a dozen photos of these photos, basically they are Kate and his daughter, some of whom are playing, some are dining, and some are shopping around the store. They clearly show the intimate relationship between mother and daughter. No matter who sees it, they will not think that this is someone else's child.

Even Kate herself issued a brief statement through her agent after the photo was published. The child in the photo was indeed his daughter. I hope everyone will not disturb her, but she did not mention a word to her daughter's father.

If it were just like this, even though the sensation was sensational, it would not have become the most concerned entertainment gossip.

However, after almost 90% of people read the report, they immediately thought of a shadow behind her as to who the child’s father was.

The Sun's report on the First Miracle Girl published after the release of Tomb Raider is now well known, and some people who are interested have proved it early. Kate Beckinsale did play roles in "Two Big Bullets", "Memory Smash" and "Howard Manor".

Think of Adrian's usual style, his playboy name, and his Miracle Girls. Although he was just beginning to make a name for himself in Hollywood, when Julia was photographed dating him, he was just starting out. Who can be sure that something hadn't happened?

Moreover, the little girl in the photo is almost five or six years old, so she should have been pregnant and born between 1994 and 1995. This coincides with Kate's low point. It is very likely that it temporarily faded out of the public eye because of pregnancy. More importantly, the shadow of the miracle director is indispensable in the later part of the movies that made her rise again. According to unconfirmable news, the script creativity comes from him.

Once this inference is established, it will be a huge news. Unfortunately, no one dares to verify it, and there is not even public doubt.

The Internet was a big fuss, but most entertainment reporters chose to ignore it, and at most they made vague hints in the report.

Adrian is not Adrian a few years ago. As the chairman of the board of directors of the world's largest media group, it is too simple to let someone who angers himself doom. No reporter would be foolish to be the first to be a leader.

Even those gossip journalists who are not afraid of heaven and earth and who specialize in writing all kinds of almost unreliable are inevitably a bit hindered when they write this.

It’s not that there are reporters who want to make indirect attacks from other angles, but after Kate Beckinsale issued a statement, he basically does not accept interviews from reporters in this regard except for a brief chat on a subsequent TV show.

As for director Miracle, he is busy filming the two-part "The Matrix" that has been resented by countless movie fans. How could he give reporters a chance?

We can use two cameras, one from this angle to this angle, and the other from that angle to that angle, so that the effect you want will come out.

On the set, the technician was explaining to Adrian how to use the camera to realize the scene in his mind.

Stability is not enough.After carefully sketching it in his mind, Adrian shook his head. If it is too elegant, it may not look good when fighting.

After thinking carefully for a few minutes, he patted the technician's shoulder: Don't worry first, I'll ask the martial arts coach to think of a solution.

Yuan Heping was explaining the action to the two leading actors on the other side. Today, he was filming the action scene in which the Savior had fought with the guardian who protected the prophet before entering the matrix.

This action scene must be played well and reflects the unreal elegance of the matrix, but it cannot be too elegance like the original version, otherwise it will give people a very strange feeling, so there are high requirements for shooting and action, and Adrian also thought about it again and again.

Today, I am in high spirits, Master Yuan Ba.There was still a distance, so Adrian greeted him in Chinese.

Oh, the boss is here.

Yuan Heping, who was punching, immediately stopped his movements and replied with a smile. Although he was not very clear about Adrian's status in Hollywood, he also knew that he was an amazing big shot. Even if he could be called a big shot like Yuan Bashi, even if he was joking, it would be enough to make him proud.

Although Yuan Heping served as the martial arts director of "The Matrix", he basically never personally led the action, and he was all done by his disciples.

However, it is rare to see an old friend in the United States, and Jet Lee, who worked very happily with him in Hong Kong, couldn't help but do it yourself while being happy.

How about it?After saying hello to Reeves and Jet Lee, Adrian told Yuan Baye in detail what he wanted and asked.

This Ah... is really difficult to deal with. To be honest, it must be quite elegant and heavy, which is too contradictory.

The old man said in a strong Cantonese accent Mandarin, and walked around the place twice. He looked at Jet Li: Ajie, do you have any good solutions?

Jet Lee, wearing Tang suit, took off his sunglasses and listened carefully. Although his kung fu is also good and he has worked with Yuan Heping countless times, he just shook his head at this moment.

But the next second he suddenly clapped his hands: By the way, maybe this can be done!

Immediately, Jet Lee and Yuan Heping started discussing, and a series of professional terms kept popping up from their words. Adrian, who couldn't understand, could only shrug and wait for the result.

In his previous life, he had no experience in directing kung fu films. Even if he directed, he might not be able to hire the best martial arts guide.

They didn't spend much time, and they discussed and gestured. Adrian also saw some smell as he watched.

Although the two people's counterattacks seem ordinary and slow, if combined with the shooting method, they should achieve the effect they want. It has to be said that it is really good to have two of the best martial arts mentors here at present.

Since the movement was confirmed, I took some effort to take a brief shot. The rest was for the two leading actors to practice.

Needless to say, Jet Lee is born in a kung fu movie and is involved in action guidance. This is not difficult, but Reeves also quickly became more and more adept.

No wonder he had been doing action training for several months, but he didn't completely fall into it after the first part ended. Recently, he had resuming training and was in good condition.

However, because he didn't understand Chinese, Adrian kept standing next to him with a smirk while communicating with Yuan Baye and Jay Li.

Very good, take a break now.After repeatedly filming the first two paragraphs, Adrian and Yuan Heping exchanged opinions and announced this.

Although these two shots took a little longer, the effect was very good. Adrian was very satisfied and encouragement and praise were indispensable.

It’s a lucky thing to have you participated. Can I call you that, Ajie?He asked Jet Lee with a smile.

sure.Jet Lee, who was drinking water, nodded immediately. This is what I should do. Thank you very much for bringing me to Hollywood, Adrian.

His tone was quite sincere and looked very respectful. As he was repeatedly exploited and would only get a chance to enter Hollywood, Adrian extended a helping hand and gave a pay of $3 million with considerable respect.

"The Expendables" then achieved considerable success. Although he played a supporting role, he became famous in Hollywood because of this. Various film companies came to him and released a movie starring him last year.

As a Buddhist, being grateful for one's kindness is a virtue, let alone being grateful for one's kindness, so he agreed to Adrian's invitation early on. Whenever he needed it, he immediately put down what he had in his hands and rushed over.

Do you want me to give you some advice?After chatting for a few more words, Adrian suddenly asked.

Jet Li Weiwei was a little surprised, but she still made a gesture to say something.

I watched the movie you starred in last year. Without commenting on the plot, it still has your style in terms of action effects, so the box office is pretty good.

Adrian looked at him, but it was far inferior to "Rush Hour", and even worse than "Rush Hour 2" released this year.

He frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Find a partner, Ajie, even if he is black, Indian, or Mexican, it is OK.

Adrian looked at him sincerely. This is Hollywood, and potential discrimination is everywhere. You may be able to win one gaze entirely on yourself, but after the second and third times, the popularity declined faster than you imagined. Jack Chen is smarter than you in this regard. He hopes that "Western Region Veyron" will be released at the end of this year and will star with Irving Wilson.

Thank you, Adrian, thank you for your reminder. After a moment of silence, Jet Lee finally spoke, but I don't plan to do that.

He smiled: I just want the whole world to experience Chinese kung fu and let the whole world see the abilities of Chinese people.

This answer made Adrian raise his eyebrows, both expected and beyond expectations.

After all, he came from the mainland and was a little arrogant. Otherwise, he would not have invested in filming a movie like "Heroes of China", and three ribs were broken during the filming.

Unfortunately, people always have to bow to reality. Even if Jack Chen uses the method of partnering with Americans to maintain his popularity in Hollywood, it will not last long, let alone Jet Lee, who plays the protagonist?

I wonder if he will have so much regret in five or six years.

Well, since you said that, I won’t mention it anymore, but no matter where you go in the future, the position in "The Expendables" will always be reserved for you.

Adrian didn't say anything more, but just patted him on the shoulder. This was his choice, and it was a perfect end to this point.

After chatting a few more times, Adrian walked away to prepare for the next filming. As long as Jet Lee and Reeves can maintain their current state, the fight will end soon. However, next is a battle between the Savior and more than a hundred Smiths, which needs to be carefully controlled.

I looked at the plan. Are you worried about what you arranged the plot so far?A playful voice came from the side, and Monica, wearing a black tight leather jacket, walked over.

Although there is no scene here, there are some small scenes directed by the assistant director on the set next door, such as the captains' gathering in the matrix. If you want to shoot completely within four months, you naturally have to find a way to improve your efficiency, so Monica can come and take a look at it at any time.

After giving birth to the child, she recovered quite well, and her body curves were still so attractive. Coupled with her mature temperament, her appearance as if she was smiling is already enough.

You know, I have always thought that self-direction and self-acting have an influence on directors. It is best to be a living prop in his own movie like Hitchcock, but to play a heavy role, you still have to make some preparations.

Adrian shrugged and then changed the subject before Monica spoke: By the way, where is Deva?Didn't you bring her to the set today?

Now in this situation, I still dare to take her out?Monica immediately gave him an angrily glance.

Because of Kate and Lily, almost all the Miracle Girls have been paid attention to. It’s okay for Blanchett to be low-key at the moment, but Monica and Sophie had rumors of having children before, so they all began to be careful. Even Julia, who also wanted to have a child when she won the Best Actress, temporarily slowed down her movements.

But it's just some reporters, so don't take it to heart. If you are worried, you can take her to another city to play.Adrian didn't care.

Basically, the heads of several major media groups have more or less knowledge of his affairs, so he is not worried that the press will do too much. With his current identity, if someone attacks him with a lot of things about his children, whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is equivalent to declaring war on AC Media.

No matter who it is, Murdoch or Eisner, they are not that stupid, and this is a good card for Adrian. If you play it rashly, it is very likely that the gain will not be worth the loss.

Their concerns were correct, because Adrian still held more than one card.

Don't worry, my dear, this trend will pass soon.He then comforted him like this.

Compared with Kate, Monica was more blind to Adrian, and naturally she didn't think too much like Kate. After being comforted by him for a few words, she didn't say anything.

What a pity.Looking at Monica's back as she left, Adrian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When he thought of Kate talking about Ivanka with gritted teeth, he couldn't help but laugh. After finally flying two secretary in the office that day, he simply took them back because he wanted to accompany Lily.

Naturally, the evening continued, but for some reason, Charlize coaxed Kate too. What a big impact this was for Kate, who could only accept Sarah and Charlize at most, so that genius declared that.

But in Adrian's opinion, she was just pretending. You know, Kate was quite excited when he pressed Ivanka on the bed and played with it. It was sooner or later that Ivanka would add it.

So when contacting Monica and Sophie, Adrian had to sigh. If Penelope's stupid woman did not do such a stupid thing, she might be able to play with the European Three Kingdoms coalition now.

Of course, no matter how much regret it is, Adrian didn't really take it to heart.

But then I thought of another thing.

DP has received 5 million yuan to start filming the adult version of "Tomb Raider", and the porn queen also agreed to star in it. The plot is naturally based on the original version, and various types of hand-to-hand combat scenes are also indispensable.

Of course, she alone is not enough, so there is also a new DP member who also joined the Spanish girl Blanca Baden from Europe. There is no doubt that this is a stage name, and her original name is Monica Cruz.

It's just a little interest.

Although most of his time was spent on filming the Matrix, it doesn't mean Adrian didn't attend any event. On the night of September 6, he appeared on the red carpet outside the Metropolitan Opera House in Lincoln Center, New York to attend this year's MTV Awards ceremony.
