King of Hollywood

With a soft hiss, Adrian tore off the fake beard sticking under his nose, moved his mouth in front of the mirror, and threw the fake beard into the trash can. Then he put the windbreaker, glasses, and wide-brimmed hat in In the small suitcase you carry with you. Then he straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, and walked out of the bathroom with the suitcase. Thus, after entering the bathroom, a bloated man wrapped in a fat trench coat turned into a tall and straight young man in a suit.

After coming out of the shopping mall, Adrian looked around, walked to the car on the street, got on the car, started the engine and left. The reason why he went to the detective agency in disguise was mainly because he considered the future situation. It was hard to guarantee that this private detective would not think of certain things when he saw something in the future. It may not be possible to have any bad influence on him, but it is a hidden danger after all. Things should be done in a watertight manner, and disguise is easy.

All he had to do now was wait. Since Dean Wilson was good at finding people and the clues he provided were clear enough, he should be able to find that woman.

Originally, Adrian could have provided more clues, and he had read a lot of information about JK Rowling in his previous life, but most of them were passed by in a flash. Although he can recall all the things he has seen, the deeper and more familiar the easier it is, while those that have been seen before are very difficult, and it takes a long time to search slowly. He had started his memory work a few days earlier, but the most useful information he had spent a lot of time getting were dates of birth and graduation from Exeter University.

Enough is enough, anyway, there are still a few years left, let Dean find it slowly, maybe one day he will be able to recall something again. Adrian, who was driving, thought so. At the beginning, he had also planned to copy the "Harry Potter" series, but after thinking about it, he gave up this idea because it was too difficult to operate.

First of all, he is an American now, so it’s okay to make British-style movies, but he writes British-style novels, and he writes 7 books. It’s hard to say what changes will happen to the British people’s feelings. This kind of unpredictable result It should not be done.

What? You said move the background to America? Well, let's see, on the vast plains of Minnesota stands a castle of wizarding schools over 1,000 years old... wait, are you sure that's a wizarding school that teaches magic, not Indians who teach witchcraft? Full school?

Well, to put it another way, more than 300 years ago, a group of wizards crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the New World and built a wizarding school in the forests of Maryland... Wait, if Nick LeMay can live to be 600 years old, the four founders No reason to live shorter than him, is there? OK, ignore their ages, just treat them as slightly older than normal people, but in just 300 years, two Dark Lords emerged and two wars were waged, which parent is willing to send their children to such a school?

Adrian is too lazy to do such troublesome things, besides, he is not a professional writer, and it would be a bit of a disadvantage if he finds someone to co-write like those three novels. More importantly, what he knows most about this series is the movies and scripts. He has only read a few novels, and even fewer original English versions.

It's better to wait for Rowling to write it out by herself. It's not easy to be a single mother-it has nothing to do with hypocrisy, he just wants to do this. If he is reborn but dare not even do what he wants to do, he should jump off the Golden Gate Bridge as soon as possible. it is good.

In short, as long as he can get the right to adapt it as soon as possible, if he really can't find someone else, it won't be too late for someone else to write it. What Adrian values ​​is not the 1 billion net worth that Rowling earned from this series. If all goes well in the future, he can get far more than 1 billion. What he values ​​is the industrial chain derived from this series - games, movies, various peripherals and theme parks! It would be a great addition to his media company.

Back at the hotel where he was staying, after resting for a few minutes to deal with the things in his hands, Adrian picked up the phone and called: "Hi, dear, guess where mine is?"

"Have you arrived in London?" Kate's surprised voice came from the phone, "No wonder my sister smiled so ambiguously when she asked me to answer the phone."

"Really, she has never recognized my voice." Adrian pulled down his tie and said with a smile, "Obviously she did it on purpose. You should punish her well and not tolerate it."

"Forget it, she's my sister." Kate sighed deliberately over there, and then thought of something and asked, "Your new movie is already finished? I remember you said it would take two months or even longer." time."

"Of course the filming is over, it only took a little over 7 weeks, don't you understand my style of doing things?" Adrian laughed, "Don't you want me to finish the project sooner and come to see you sooner?"

The two chatted happily on the phone. After a few words, Kate suddenly sighed: "Oh, sorry, Ed, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out these days. There are several exams in school."

"It's okay, I happen to have some things to do in London," Adrian said with a smile, "Anyway, after you graduate in a few days, I can't even leave if you want to."

"So confident?" Kate's tone sounded bad.

"Yes." Adrian didn't take it seriously.

"Then just wait and see, I'm going to read a book, goodbye." Kate snorted softly and hung up the phone.

Adrian shook his head with a grin, put down the receiver and flipped through the documents in his hand, and a few minutes later he picked up the phone again to make a call. Commissioning private detectives to find Rowling was only one part of the plan, plus another.

===============================

"There is no problem, Mr. Adrian. The information you provided is very detailed. We can go to the relevant department to go through the formalities together tomorrow." The man sitting on the sofa opposite said after flipping through the information.

"Thank you, Chris. Without your help, I wouldn't have dealt with it so quickly. I have to say that Brent recommended a good lawyer for me." Adrian nodded with a smile.

"I'll take the documents to the study first, please wait a moment." Chris said and stood up.

"Okay, no problem." Adrian watched him leave, then picked up the coffee cup on the coffee table and meditated.

What he is doing now is setting up a charitable fund to help single mothers, and the reasons are naturally self-evident. Even if you can’t find Rowling, it doesn’t matter, just think of it as charity. It’s very common for rich people to do charity in the West. Whether it’s from the heart or not, at least it’s very helpful to shape the image, and the charity dinner is also important. social place.

So Adrian had arranged through the British film producer who had some relationship with Bosworth Films before he came to London, and Wardell Brent, who had worked with the first film in London before. A series of previous things - private detective Dean was also introduced by him.

Doing so is basically foolproof. Although there is such a big commotion, it is not a loss to think about the industrial chain. Adrian thought about this, and then his heart moved slightly. He turned his head and looked at the other side of the couch, only to see two bright and bright eyes looking at him curiously from behind the armrest.

It was a little girl about 2 years old, with brown slightly curly long hair combed back into a ponytail, round and pink looking very cute. Adrian couldn't help but smile. This is the daughter of Lawyer Chris. She had seen her a few times when she came to his house before, but every time she caught a glimpse of her.

It's a pity that the other party didn't seem to appreciate his overtures, and immediately stuck out his little tongue and made a face.

Adrian shook his head with a smile, and a woman's voice came from outside the living room: "Honey, where have you been?"

Before the little girl turned around to speak, a young woman had already appeared at the door of the living room, and looked at her angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't come here to make trouble when Dad has guests."

Then he looked at Adrian apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Adrian, I hope the little guy didn't disturb you."

"It's okay, Ms. Jacqueline, we're done." Adrian stood up and looked at the little girl who ran to her mother with open arms and giggling. "Your daughter is very cute."

"It's really cute, but it's also very naughty, and always likes to make trouble with us." Having said that, the young mother who held her daughter in her arms was filled with a doting smile, "Have you greeted the guests, Emma? "

The little girl blinked and looked at Adrian without speaking for a while, Adrian simply straightened his collar and extended his hand to the little girl in a formal manner: "Nice to meet you, Miss Emma. "

The little girl turned her head directly, buried on her mother's shoulder and refused to lift it up again.

"Sorry, Mr. Adrian, the little guy is a little... shy." Jacqueline said helplessly.

"It's okay, shyness is a reaction that every lady will have." Adrian didn't take it to heart.

Chris came out of the study at this time, saw the scene in the living room, he was slightly stunned, and then handed the document in his hand to Adrian: "This is another document you need, if there is no problem, please enter it below Sign it, and be sure to bring it with you tomorrow, and I will wait for you at the office with my wife at 9 o'clock in the morning."

"Great, it will be more efficient with Jacqueline's help." Adrian nodded. Chris's wife, Jacqueline, is also an excellent lawyer. Get these things sorted out within days.

After browsing through the document in hand, there was no change from the previous one. Adrian immediately signed his name below, and then got up to leave: "That's it, I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." The couple sent him to the door, and then the little girl who had been watching all this curiously in her mother's arms suddenly made a face at Adrian, which immediately aroused laughter.

"Actually, this is a sign that she likes you." Chris tried to explain to his daughter.

"I understand." Adrian, who was walking outside, smiled and waved his hands.

(I don’t know much about the process of setting up a charity fund. Just take a look. In addition, please ask for a recommendation ticket. Although it will be listed on the new book list soon, let’s give it a try.)
