Adrian really likes Alexander, not just because of her looks, figure, and bright smile, but also because she’s very self-aware, and once she understands what she can do, she pursues it without hesitation.
Frankly speaking, in the beginning, her enthusiasm wasn’t particularly high, even sowhat less than Miranda. After all, due to the previous cover incident, Miranda harbors a strong desire to beco a top model deep down, perhaps she isn’t aware of it herself, but Adrian, who is insightful, could clearly see it, so he easily brought Miranda into his circle.
Alexander, on the other hand, just wanted to beco a well-known, outstanding model, so becoming one of the top supermodels was already far beyond her expectations. However, when Adrian presented her with the business plan, despite hesitating for a long ti, Alexander finally agreed.
She didn’t have much talent in brand managent initially; during that period, most matters were decided by the team behind her, and what she needed to do was be a good figurehead. But Alexander worked very hard to learn and delve into the field, and Adrian kept advising and encouraging her that once committed, she should strive to improve herself, so in the end, although she was in managent, she did quite well.
What’s particularly comndable is that Alexander fully utilized her advantages to promote her self-created brand. Despite having her brand to manage, she never missed her modeling work. Soon, "dedication" beca her label, and with the dia’s support, it beca widely known, playing a significant role in promoting the brand. It can be said that the establishnt and developnt of her brand were not entirely Adrian’s credit.
As ntioned before, Adrian appreciates capable won who are willing to work hard. Although Alexander wasn’t very active at first, she later worked hard to beco a top model, and her various conduct during her entrepreneurial venture greatly impressed him. Thus, when he noticed she had the intention of leaving, he was indeed slightly surprised.
However, that was just a fleeting mont. As for understanding won’s minds, Adrian wouldn’t claim complete grasp, but most of the ti, he has a pretty good idea. Moreover, through the fashion brand, Alexander’s interests are now thoroughly tied to his. Rather than thinking about the future, her stance was more of a test, and when she got the answer she wanted, she cald down promptly.
Maybe we can also get Miranda pregnant. Adrian mused privately with so mischief. After both Nicole and Naomi got pregnant, he was keen to recreate the feat that happened with Sophie and Monica. Miranda and Alexander’s closeness is pretty much on par with Sophie and Monica, Nicole and Naomi, and Alexander must also understand her mind, so it might be better to get both of them pregnant to prevent her from overthinking like herself.
Of course, that’s for later. In over three months, the Cowell family football team will officially be established, so let’s wait another two or three years and discuss it once the little ones grow up.
After wrapping up matters in New York, Adrian imdiately flew to London. Although he wanted to stay a few more days to have fun with Doutzen or see if he could win over Amber, as Leighton and Blake also seed eager to show themselves.
Regarding their impatience, although Adrian wasn’t present at the ti, he had already heard from Alexander and Miranda. They dismissed their provocations outright as jokes. Nonetheless, Adrian understood well; after all, it was him who had cultivated them into such characters, so he wouldn’t stop them. If possible, he might even fan the flas secretly, as long as it doesn’t overly affect life and work.
The matters in London were straightforward. Thanksgiving had arrived, and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," the latest installnt of the series, was about to premiere, so it was natural for Adrian to attend as he hadn’t missed any premiere. But what wasn’t simple was... no, it wasn’t the entanglent with Little Emma, rather sothing worse: the entanglent with Little Emma and Small Emma.
"Rember what I said? Coming to London would definitely be rewarding, didn’t I deliver?" Little Emma said with a chuckle, pulling on her underwear over her legs swinging back and forth high up.
She lay upside down at the end of the bed, with her entire lower body folded over, allowing Adrian, who was leaning against the headboard, to see everything.
"Yes, yes." Small Emma nodded vigorously, resting on Adrian’s chest, "From now on, I’ll definitely listen to you."
Hearing this conversation, Adrian couldn’t help rolling his eyes and reached out to pinch Small Emma’s cheek: "Now I’m worried, Rose. What if one day Charlotte sells you off, and you’re counting money for her with enthusiasm?"
"So what?" To Adrian’s surprise, Small Emma flipped over and sat on him, crossing her arms over her chest with a nonchalant look, "As long as I can get you, I don’t care about that."
I knew it. Adrian couldn’t help but roll his eyes again. Originally, when Small Emma clamored to co to London for the premiere under the pretense of a pact with Little Emma, he had intended to refuse. But then, Small Emma enlisted her aunt as a negotiator and even threatened him with her eyes that if he didn’t agree, she might let slip sothing.
Although he knew her threat was just talk, Adrian had no choice but to compromise. He definitely couldn’t explain to Julia that if Small Emma went with him to London, she’d try everything possible with Little Emma to... sleep with him, right? Not to ntion Small Emma, Julia is currently unaware of even Little Emma’s matters, so...
Now it’s certain, Little Emma must have given Small Emma so advice over the phone. What a troubleso character. Adrian thought with a bit of resentnt, grinding his teeth.
Adrian didn’t intervene, nor did he discuss the upcoming director selection with the crew; he basically left it all to them. As said before, at this point in the series, it’s basically down to the basic plot and special effects, and it doesn’t matter who directs. Even if there’s a director, the producer would help make corrections.
As for whether the last installnt should be divided into two parts... Yes, of course. Why give up such a good opportunity to make money? Moreover, with Adrian’s interference, perhaps 3D technology will mature faster, and he can even suggest in advance to make the last two parts in 3D, so there’s even more money to be made.
Besides, Liu Yufei’s role in the ’Goblet of Fire’ is also significantly more than in the previous ’Azkaban’s Prisoner’, and promotions in the mainland are already scheduled, ensuring the entire series will surpass a hundred million in the mainland, if not higher. Then, based on her roles in the two movies and fan feedback, a basic plot tiline can be set for her in the series, which not only keeps her fa alive but also brings in more money from mainland moviegoers.
As for Luna’s casting, there have been just a few inquiries for now, and it’s still in the preparation stage. With a series of busy movie schedules coming up, the official selection has to wait until after the New Year’s holiday. So we’ll talk about it then, but Adrian has an interesting idea for this role’s casting.
After wrapping up these tasks, he returned to the United States, not because he had many premieres to attend; at the end of this year, AC dia doesn’t have many films releasing aside from ’Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’. With weight or comrcial potential, there’s only one, ’Enchanted’, starring Liv.
Having dominant companies like Universal Pictures, Miramax, New Line, and Bossworth, along with a slew of studios, and Adrian’s eccentric AC dia, occupying a considerable advantage in the year-end schedule isn’t just a one-ti or two-ti occurrence, so occasionally stepping aside isn’t a big deal.
Moreover, Adrian used the ti more to be with won and his daughter, and to prepare for his final blow.
Since October’s public release of ’Pianist’, it’s been a topic of conversation among reporters, even now. When Adrian attended the ’Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ premiere in London, there were still British reporters asking him about ’Pianist’ topics, clearly trying to associate it with the Pal d’Or and European filmmakers.
Despite his focus this year on attacking European cinema and asserting his role as a Hollywood spokesperson, Adrian didn’t give them a chance; after all, this was Murdoch’s turf, and British reporters—especially entertainnt reporters—weren’t worth expecting good conduct from. Besides, he’d nearly achieved his goals anyway. Although Arican dia didn’t explicitly say it, most industry insiders knew the results. The only question left was the magnitude of his appetite.
"Rest assured, it’s smaller than you imagine." Laughing, Adrian said this after reviewing the information Ivanka had gathered for him, and then he flipped through another docunt, which was the post-production report for ’Locke’. Although not fully completed, arranging previews by the end of the year was a certainty.
At that ti, with his current buzz, a little hype would easily garner enough attention, and as for box office? Conducting long-term screenings like ’Pianist’ would do just fine; just need to break even.
’North Country’, ’Sideways’, and ’Transarica’, starring Nicole, having participated in Cannes and postponed to an October release, were similar. In short, films with low investnt yet good acclaim, that aren’t lacking in comrcial value or highly topical, benefit from long-term screenings as the best ans of recouping costs while also accumulating Oscar recognition.
"I don’t think it’s small at all; your appetite has never been small." Comnted Ivanka sarcastically upon hearing his soliloquy as she ca to the office to fetch sothing.
"Really?" Adrian raised an eyebrow, but just as he stood up, Ivanka cautiously stepped back two paces, picked up the signed docunt, and swiftly turned to leave.
"Damn, is it necessary?" He could only sigh in frustration.
No surprise, since learning about Small Emma’s affair, she had adopted this attitude, maintaining her usual jesting, mocking and sarcastic tone, yet being sowhat resistant. After all, Small Emma and Little Emma are different; although Little Emma’s actions are unexpected, it’s not surprising. Her relationship with Adrian is well known, and frankly, there’s practically no barrier between her and him.
But Small Emma is different. Even with experiences similar to Little Emma, emotional matters are understandable. Adrian has always had a knack for attracting young girls, sothing he managed even before, so now it’s even more effective. But the problem is her aunt is his lover, and they even have a child together—this is simply too ssy. If nothing else, what should Patricia call Small Emma in the future?
It’s no wonder Ivanka is conflicted, and fortunately, as Adrian’s secretary, she’s already accustod to keeping secrets. For now, only a few involved individuals know, aside from her, so Adrian isn’t worried. But to resolve the issue, it takes not just ti, but effort too. (To be continued.
