King of Hollywood

"Come closer to the camera, and play it again... Yes, that's right, that's the distance... Hey, Emma, ​​don't scratch around, stay obediently, it will be fine soon... Wait, let's replay the scene just now Once... damn it, can't see clearly, and then... ok, that's it, but there should be a shot of Red in the middle, otherwise it's too long... nothing else... Emma, ​​don't move... That's it, you can continue, if you are not sure, you can ask me tomorrow."

Putting down the phone, Adrian immediately rubbed his eyes. Although the videophone in front of him has the largest screen that can be bought at present, it is still a bit small in his opinion. feel tired. This is also impossible. Remote editing via videophone is the best way I can think of at present.

It's not a big deal, at most, the efficiency is lower than editing by yourself, and besides, it can also exercise the ability of other editors. The big deal is that I will spend time editing it after I go back. Editing is easier than production. . Adrian thought comfortingly. Besides, other things besides editing have been arranged by professionals, such as Thomas Newman has agreed to score the film.

In addition to these, there is another problem, that is, the call time is too short. He can only spend 2 to 4 hours a day communicating with the studio via videophone, which is not very efficient. Also, the completion of the final stage originally planned at the end of August may have to be delayed for a long time. It's not that Adrian didn't think about increasing the time, but eye fatigue is one problem, jet lag is another problem, and little Emma is the third problem.

"Hey, Emma, ​​we agreed that you can stay by my side while I'm working, but you can't bother me." Adrian turned his head at this moment, looking at the little girl next to him who was holding his trousers helplessly. sighed.

Emma blinked her eyes as if she didn't understand, but she also realized that Adrian was a little unhappy, so she couldn't help but flatten her mouth, and raised the thing in her hand in front of him with some grievances: "Apple."

"For me?" Adrian was a little surprised, the little guy nodded immediately, and then looked at him with a pitiful look. Adrian sighed, reached out and touched her head: "Okay, thank you."

As he spoke, he held her face and kissed it lightly on the forehead. Little Emma blinked again, and the corners of her mouth suddenly opened. Although the movement was very small, it was still as beautiful as a blooming flower bone.

Adrian froze for a moment, then excitedly picked up the little guy and rushed out.

"Hey, Ms. Marson, the little guy laughed." Adrian, who came to the living room, shouted loudly.

"Emma laughed?" Ms. Marson, who was cleaning up the house, raised her head in surprise, dropped her things and hurried over.

It's a pity that Adrian's actions just now scared the little girl, and with the presence of an outsider, Ms. Marson, she became a little timid again, wrapping her arms around Adrian's neck and curling up in his arms. look around.

"Damn it, I was too excited just now." Adrian said with some annoyance. You must know that although Emma has lived for several days, Emma is not as numb as before. Her expression and reaction have increased slightly, but she has never smiled , as if the emotion of laughing had been lost by her. But now, she suddenly laughed. Although the movement was small, it was enough to surprise people.

"It doesn't matter, as long as she smiles, it means it's going well," Ms. Marson said comfortingly, "It's a pity that Mr. Russell is not here, otherwise those gentlemen and ladies can shut up."

"It doesn't matter, do I need to care about them?" Adrian waved his hand indifferently.

Those gentlemen and ladies in Marson's mouth refer to Emma's uncle and aunt. After the death of the Watson couple, there are still many aftermath matters to be dealt with. Adrian took Emma to attend several times. To be honest, he was really embarrassing in that kind of situation, he was just an outsider after all, but there was no way, even though Emma had recovered, she still refused to leave him for half a step.

Therefore, after attending a few parties, it is inevitable that some gossiping women who like to gossip will make irresponsible remarks. Of course, they would not say this in front of Adrian, but they have no scruples in private. Two or three times later, Adrian euphemistically expressed to the old man Lasek that he wanted to minimize the number of times he attended such occasions, and the old man had heard a little about those things, so he agreed to his request.

"Okay, I'll take the little guy to a nearby park. Would you like to go with me, Ms. Marson?" Adrian asked at this time. During this period of time, he would take little Emma out every day to let her Connect with more people.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will tidy up a little bit," Marson nodded, "Frankly speaking, Mr. Adrian, you are a gentleman, and I don't know which lucky girl can be your girlfriend."

"Thank you for your compliment..." Adrian was about to say a few words of modesty, but suddenly he froze, and then slapped himself on the head: "Oops, I forgot!"

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

"Hey, Kate, are you going out together tonight? There's a party at Cleaver's house." Her sister's voice suddenly rang in her ears, startling Kate, who was in a daze.

"Well...forget it, I don't want to go out today." Kate shook her head and rejected her sister's proposal.

"Why? You have already graduated, and you are a big star who has acted in two movies. Why do you stay at home all day and don't go anywhere?" Although Samantha's tone was questionable, the narrowness in it was not at all There is no hiding.

"First of all, I did act in two movies, but I'm not a big star; secondly, having graduated doesn't mean I can't read books. Is there any problem if I stay at home and read books?" Kate replied seemingly calmly.

"Wow wow wow wow, I never knew you worked so hard. When I came in two hours ago, you were reading page 122. Now you are still reading. This kind of spirit is really admirable. "Samantha said with a smile, mercilessly exposing Kate's lies.

Kate's face turned red immediately, but before she could speak, Samantha continued: "Oh, Ed is such a jerk, he hasn't called for so long, and our cute little Kate has been distracted all day..."

"Samantha!" Kate yelled angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything," seeing that the joke was almost done, Samantha raised her hands, "Okay, Kate, don't think about it, Ed must have his own things to do, Maybe it will show up at the door tomorrow. So cheer up and go out with me to improve your mood."

Seeing her sister's serious expression, Kate finally sighed: "I know, I just... well, Samantha, let me stay alone in the room and be quiet for a while."

After staring at each other for a few minutes, Samantha raised her hands: "That's it, I'm going out."

After the door was closed, Kate withdrew her gaze. Looking at the book in her hand, she suddenly lay down on the table, with her hands deeply inserted into her hair. It has been almost two weeks since she received a call from Adrian, and Kate's heart seems to be empty. Samantha's words about being out of her mind are absolutely right.

What is the matter with me? It's just that I haven't called for a few days... What a few days! It's obviously more than ten days! It has never been more than four days before. I called the hotel by myself, and the news I got was that I checked out and left! Even if there is something urgent to leave, can't you give me a call to explain? Kate closed the book in front of her fiercely, a trace of resentment appeared on her pretty face. But this situation only lasted for a few minutes, and she leaned back on the chair slumped again.

Well, I'm just a little uncomfortable for a while, I'm just a little bit angry, I'm just... Kate wanted to find an excuse for her inexplicable state, but she couldn't find a suitable one after searching. That big empty space in her heart can't be filled with anything, this feeling tortured her almost to the point of going crazy.

hell! Then I'll pack up my things right away and go to Los Angeles right away. I want to see what he's up to! Kate stood up suddenly and began to pack her things. It has always been her style to do whatever she wants.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a mother's voice: "Kate, your phone."

Telephone? ! Kate's hand holding the cupboard door stopped suddenly, and she was stunned for about half a second. She rushed to open the door and asked in an excited and nervous tone, "Who is calling?!"

"Who else can it be?" The mother shrugged helplessly.

Before the words were finished, Kate was already running downstairs like the wind, and the sound of footsteps echoed everywhere in the room. In this regard, the mother sighed and said nothing.

Although she was so excited that she couldn't help herself, Kate unexpectedly calmed down when she picked up the phone receiver.

"Hi, who is looking for me?" The tone was reserved, but the eyes were rolling upwards.

"Hi honey, it's me."

"Ed? What's the matter?" He looked very relaxed, although the white teeth were grinding on his lips.

"Wow, this tone, are you angry?"

"Of course not, how could it be?" A hand pinched back and forth on the phone line.

"Well, you know that bus crash that the BBC covered for a few days?"

"I know, what's the matter?"

"I'm one of the survivors."

Kate was stunned for about ten seconds before reacting, and shouted in a panic: "What did you say?!"

"Calm down, it's just a car accident, I suffered a little injury..."

Before the words over there were finished, Kate asked anxiously: "Where are you? Are you in the hospital? Are you seriously injured? Oh, God, you didn't call me because of this, right? Damn it , I'm still complaining, sorry..."

"Kate, okay, Kate, can you listen to me?" Adrian was obviously dumbfounded.

"Where are you? Where are you?! I want to see you, I need to see you with my own eyes to be at ease!" Kate obviously didn't listen to him.

"Okay, I'm now at No. 89 Maioridi Street, let's talk about the specific situation when you come over."

"I'll be right there." After Kate finished speaking, she flew back to the bedroom to tidy up, and then flew out the door without even hearing her mother's shout.
