    "During a previous test screening, some critics called the film a thoroughly feminist work. What do you think?"

    "What makes you produce such a work that is so different from Shang Bu's style?"

    "According to people who participated in the test screening, all male characters are marginalized. Is it because of themselves?"

    Facing these reporters who seemed a bit aggressive, I couldn't help but feel depressed and annoyed, but on the surface I had to cheer up and deal with it: "I just want to change the subject and try my best to try various types of movies, that's all."

    But instead of getting rid of these guys, it actually made them talk more and more, which made me even more headache. Even though I have done it several times, why can't I always deal with these guys?

    Fortunately, a hand was put on my shoulder: "Hey, everyone, this is not a good way to treat a lady."

    The reporters in front of him immediately smiled and sent the things in their hands to him with shining eyes: "Mr. Cowell"

    I couldn't help but roll my eyes inwardly, and I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but within a few seconds, the other party took my arm and pulled me towards the theater: "Sorry, everyone, the premiere will start soon.  Well, let¡¯s talk about it later.¡±

    We walked with him for a long time like this, and after entering the theater and leaving the reporters outside, he looked at me and laughed: "My dear, this is not okay. It has been so long, and you haven't learned to deal with it yet."  Those guys."

    ¡°I¡¯m not you, I have decades of experience.¡± I said unceremoniously.

    "But since you have taken this path, you must learn to deal with them." He laughed again. Seeing that my face became a little ugly, he changed the topic: "By the way, those reporters didn't ask any inexplicable questions."  Problem?"

    "Fortunately, they are all about movies. There are no stupid questions like last time, whether I am your new girlfriend." When I said this, I couldn't help but rolled my eyes.

    He laughed immediately.  He looked so happy that I really wanted someone to punch him hard. Unfortunately, this was a public place, so I could only stare at him and yell with gritted teeth: "Dad!"

    "Oh, honey, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Dad finally stopped, although his shoulders were still twitching.  "But don't worry, they have sent that guy to Fiji to work as a foreign correspondent. There will never be such a fool again in the future, I promise."

    Looking at his suppressed smile, I could only sigh again, hold his arm and continue walking inside.

    Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Lily, Lily Beckinsale Cowell, I am 26 years old.  He has just released his fourth film, which is entirely from a female perspective.  Yes Yes.  The daughter of Adrian Cowell, who is famous or infamous in Hollywood.  The man next to me is my father. Although he is already in his fifties, he looks like he is only in his forties at most. He is full of masculine charm at all times and can easilyattract women, especially with talent and power.  What¡­¡­

    My father has many titles.  The most talented screenwriter, the sought-after producer, and the super director who is good at creating miracles.  And privately, only people close to him would call him, King of Hollywood, etc., but the most widely known one is Playboy!  When I was very young, I remember there were many aunts besides my mother. Many of them were very good to me and I got along well with them. For example, Aunt Charlie, I liked chatting with her the most. Many of them refused to talk to my mother.  Everything my father said would be told to her, and she would be happy to explain it to me.

    The consequence of this is that by the time I realize that something is not right about my family environment, I have already gotten used to it.  Well, I'm used to it, but I can't imagine how my mother and other aunts could get used to it.

    "You have to know, Lily, your father is a very scary person. He can control people's hearts. He plays with us and makes us unable to resist." This is the mother's answer, of course, with a smile and a "  I¡¯m lying to you¡± look, which is really irritating.  Others, including Aunt Sarah, Aunt Ini, Aunt Monica, etc., gave very similar answers to my mother¡¯s. It was absolutely impossible to say that it wasn¡¯t through consultation. In the end, it was Aunt Charlie who solved my confusion a little bit.

    "Your father is talented, knows how to coax women, and has insight into people's hearts. He can easily catch other people's weaknesses and exploit them." This is what she said.

    Okay, I admit that my father is indeed very talented. I won¡¯t talk about the "Matrix" trilogy and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy here. I remember that almost ten years ago, he had been writing for my mother.  There are also aunties who direct art-oriented films.  Movies of this type generally have low box office numbers.?, so some reporters who couldn't find the topic teased him that he no longer knew how to make commercial movies. As a result, he easily produced a "" with Uncle Knight, his wife, um, and Emma Watson as his team.  "Inception" made everyone shut up.

    After that, he directed and produced the "Daredevil" trilogy for Marvel Comics, which was very sensational, created a new superhero genre, and suddenly made Daredevil, a second-tier superhero, the most popular.  one.  Many people are constantly exploring the connotation, and some even say that the third film is alluding to the previous subprime mortgage crisis. The only one who is not happy is Marvel Comics, because the overly realistic style prevents them from adding Daredevil to the Avengers.  .

    But my father was not very happy. He said privately that this series was actually more suitable for Batman as the protagonist.  I don't quite understand. If he feels that Batman's wealthy status is more ironic in the hint of the subprime mortgage crisis, Daredevil's lawyer status is not bad either - so some critics said.

    So I think he is actually trying to be lazy. If he really wants to adapt the Batman series, Warner will definitely welcome it with both hands. Even if Marvel is dissatisfied, there is nothing to say.  So although I often wonder why my father doesn¡¯t take care of the company even though he has it, and leaves it entirely to Uncle Claude, while he goes about his business to make movies, I must admit that he is indeed the greatest director and producer in Hollywood.

    If this is a bit vague, then the four best director awards at home are not fake. In addition, there are also the best actress awards for my mother and various aunts. Even if public relations plays a big factor, but there is no strength anymore  No matter how much public relations is used, it won¡¯t work.  And the best screenplay, whether adapted or original, has been won.  It is still nominated frequently, including for Best Director.  Counting the first time my father has been nominated, there have been more than a dozen now, and he has already broken the record for best director nominations. Looking at it like this, if he continues to direct, he might even win the best director¡ª¡ª  That is impossible.

    ?According to my father, four seats is already the limit.  He has broken several records and the film academy will not let him continue.  However, compensation can be made elsewhere, such as the best foreign language film.

    It was also about ten years ago, probably because I was unhappy that "The Embalmer" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film but did not win, so a few years later my father directed another movie, a movie about the changes in the times in mainland China.  What is it calleda piano made of steel?  I don¡¯t know why, but after the movie was released, there was some disapproval from both sides. Film critics in China said that it brought the American middle-class inspirational genre to the mainland.  Film critics in North America said he was trying to please the mainland government.  It¡¯s really strange, although I don¡¯t quite understand some things due to cultural differences.  But the inspirational feeling is very good, especially the scene where a few old workers are building a piano under the powerful background music is very tense.

    What¡¯s interesting is that the box office of the movie was quite high in mainland China. Although the scale of the film¡¯s release in North America was small, it was still very good in terms of proportion. It then won the Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars.  I thought those film critics must have very good looks on their faces, but my father didn¡¯t think so.  He said that the film academy would do this mainly to disgust the Chinese Well, I don't like politics.

    In short.  I will pick up the guide tube, which probably has nothing to do with this.

    "Lily!" After entering the front hall of the theater, a surprised voice reached my ears, and then two figures rushed over.

    "Hi, Deva and Juliet!" I smiled and hugged my sisters. Deva is the child of Aunt Monica and her father, and Juliet is the child of Aunt Sophie and her father.

    Speaking of this, I am starting to feel depressed again. I think there is no one in the whole of Los Angeles, the whole United States and even the whole world more than my sister.  Remember what I said before?  My father is a playboy, I have many aunts besides my mother, and the women I can call auntsall have children with my father!

    Only a few people did not, such as Aunt Charlie. I once asked her why. You must know that even Aunt Sarah and Aunt Liv, who insisted not to have children, were eventually pregnant by their father, but Aunt Charlie always  She insists on not having children. It is said thatwellthere were several times when her father tried to get her pregnant using a torn raincoat, but they were all found out.

    "If I give birth to a boy, he may become like your father; if I give birth to a girl, she may meet a man like your father." This is what Aunt Charlie said.

    Really I really want to ask, if that's the case, why have you stayed with your father for so many years?  Of course, Aunt Charlie certainly didn't think about it when she said this. Sometimes girls can do certain things.

    In short, my father is such a great playboy. He is still unmarried, but he canLet many women, including his mother, stay by his side and willingly conceive and bear children for him - maybe not so willingly, but who cares?  Just like Aunt Rachel, she had a weird relationship with her dad, although not the weirdest - I couldn't put it into words anyway - but she still gave birth to a child for him.

    No one said anything about it, maybe there was some at first, but then it all disappeared.  Just like what my father often said, if you do something to the extreme, others will not be able to express their dissatisfaction.  A playboy like him who can keep many women around and give birth to a large number of children is indeed the first in the world.

    So I have many sisters, a dozen or dozens?  Oh, please, don't ask me to count, I'm so lucky to be the eldest daughter, otherwise I would go crazy being stuck between a lot of older sisters and younger sisters.  Maybe you will ask strangely, what does a dozen or dozens of sisters mean, then I will tell you Ahem, although dad has children with many women, but but they are all daughters.

    This matter has been a joke in Hollywood for a long time. As an unparalleled playboy, Adrian Cowell actually gave birth to daughters. It is really ridiculous.  As for why this is the case, from a mystical perspective, God felt that he had fallen in love with too many women, so he made his children all daughters as compensation for the world - this is simply bullshit.  I don't want to make up for that nasty old man.

    You will never imagine how bad my father can be sometimes. I remember very clearly that when I was fifteen years old, it was the time when I was young and impulsive, coupled with all kinds of idealism, which led me to have a negative attitude toward the environment at home.  Very dissatisfied.  Although I got along well with Aunt Charlie and the others, there were still many average relationships with women. I always felt that my mother was accommodating my father by tolerating them, so I asked to move out in protest.

    Of course Dad disagrees.  But it doesn¡¯t bother me. You have to know that I have fought with him countless times since I was a child - okay, I admit, my father still dotes on me.  In short, I was very careful and used the best words to squeeze him out until he was almost speechless. You would definitely not think of the method he would use to come back.

    He changed the subject and started talking about how difficult it was to raise me, as if he was wronged. I was very calm at first, but then he took out a photo.  Keep one in your wallet.  The photo that I always carry with me was probably taken when I was a few months old.  He lifted the very small me up high, and I smiled happily, while his face looked um that um that's it.

    I almost went crazy, God, how could I have such a father!  Especially when it was at dinner, in front of many aunts and sisters I knew that this time was my choice.  Butat that moment I really wanted to jump up and bite him hard, even though I hadn't done that for a long time.  Of course, I didn't do that.  It's OK to do this when you're seven or eight years old, but it's too stupid to do this when you're fourteen or five years old, so I ended up biting my lip, shaking my body, and stared at him fiercely for a long time, and then left angrily while snickering.

    No one sympathizes with me, not even my mother, because she thinks that she should be proud of it.  I get it, I totally get it, and I heard some of the stories from Aunt Charlie about Mom and Dad, and Mom obviously thought it was great that I did what she couldn't do.  Okay, Mom, I understand how you feel, but damn!  In short, this matter is settled.

    As the saying I often said when I was a kid, dad is the big bad guy!  Big, big bad guy!

    Let¡¯s not talk about this and go back to the topic. It was from a mystical perspective. From a scientific perspective, that is How to put it, in a man¡¯s tadpole, the survival time of the tadpole with the Y gene is longer than that of the tadpole with the Y gene.  The one with the

    In short, I have more and more sisters. Not only the aunts I am close to have children of their own, but also those with whom I have a normal relationship, such as Alessandro Ambrosio and Miranda Kerr.  In addition, none of those in the Asian circle, including Li Zi, Lin Chiling, etc., were left behind.  I don¡¯t know why, but they always like to form a small circle independently. If they don¡¯t get along well, doesn¡¯t Aunt Yukie stay at home well?

    "Ahem, this is none of my business, and I'm not interested in talking about it. At least their children didn't form their own circle, and everyone got along pretty well.  In the current situation, it doesn't matter whether there is a boy or not. You must know that Uncle Claude's first child was also a daughter, and he had a son several years later. He is only 7 years old now.

    The little guy is very cute, but every time he comes to our place, my sisters always play with him a lot. Several times KellySi and Alice all dressed him up as a little girl and took him out for a walk.  Poor Albert couldn't resist at all. He was brought to tears every time he was played, so much so that he was willing to come over to play even to the death. This child must have left an indelible shadow in his heart.

    If the father has a boy, such encounters will be more frequent, and even if the father is protecting him, he will not be able to escape.

    "This is your fourth work, what do you think, Lily?" Juliet asked with a smile.

    "What else can I feel, that's all." I shrugged.

    "Don't be so perfunctory with us, Lily, we are asking you very seriously." Deva immediately answered, with a dissatisfied tone, and she sang in perfect harmony with Juliet.

    They were basically conceived at the same time and were born at the same time, with only a few minutes difference between them. In addition, after more than ten years of eating and sleeping together, they are more than twins. Naturally, their relationship is extremely good, but

    "Help, I've already dealt with reporters outside. Don't let me talk about this anymore." I cried bitterly.

    "That's right, please be considerate of your sister and change the topic," my father said for me, "Juliet, how far has your photography progressed?"

    "Daddy always defends my sister." Deva and Juliet rolled their eyes together, and then giggled. Only at this time would they call me sister.

    "Diva is always in good condition. You will be able to see it soon." Juliet replied immediately, and then hugged Deva affectionately.

    ¡°Just like me as a director, Juliette and Deva also have their own careers, and just like their lives, they complement each other very well.  Juliet became a photographer and is now well-known in the industry, but Deva is even more famous because she became a model. The two of them work together to create a unique scene in the industry.

    "That's great, I will definitely comment on it." Dad smiled evilly, and Juliet immediately leaned back alertly.  Generally speaking, because as long as he makes this gesture.  It's definitely nothing good.

    But before he could continue, an angry voice intervened: "You'd better handle the matter at hand first before you comment, Ed!"

    Then, a blond girl wearing an OL uniform, not much older than me, appeared in front of me, glared at my father, and greeted us by the way: "Hi, Lily, Deva, Juliet. Sorry to bother you, I can't help it."

    She sighed, looking helpless.  She looked annoyed again when she looked at her father, who had to comfort her: "Okay, Anna, I apologize. This is indeed my problem, but I have read most of the documents, haven't I?"

    This is Dad¡¯s third secretary, AnnaSophia Robb, who is only two years younger than me. Ever since Aunt Ini went to Universal as an executive, she was chosen by Dad to be his secretary, and she has been working as a secretary for almost ten years now.  Year.  Dad's secretary is actually a very training place. Women who are qualified for this position are very capable, like Aunt Charlie, who was transferred to AC Media Corporation as a senior executive two years ago.  Although there are factors in this that Dad may want to resign and give way to Uncle Claude and choose a more suitable CEO, Aunt Charlie's ability cannot be underestimated.

    To give the simplest example, the children in the family all have their own cliques. For example, I am closer to Deva, Juliet, and Mary. The only person who can make every child like me is Aunt Charlie, besides my father.  .

    Of course, you have to pay a price to get this position. Yes, just like Aunt Charlie and Aunt Ini, you have to accompany them from the company to home and then to bed.

    "I did read it, but you didn't sign it! I had to drive home to pick up the pile of things and then come here to notify you. Don't tell me about phone calls or anything like that. If you don't put pressure on me in person, you won't do it at all.  I will care, these will be used tomorrow!" Anna said angrily, looking at him with an angry look.

    Dad¡¯s three female secretaries all had their own personalities. Aunt Charlie liked to be sarcastic the most, and sometimes her words were so sharp that it was hard to look straight at them.  Aunt Yi Ni is a bit proud, often does not mean what she says, and always likes to beat around the bush when speaking.  Anna, on the other hand, is outspoken and outspoken, and often complains and criticizes directly. She will not give up until her father admits his mistakes every time.

    But no matter what, Dad has a very good relationship with them, especially Aunt Charlie. Although she doesn¡¯t want to admit it, sometimes she is a little better than Mom.  Aunt Ini is a little worse, but her relationship with Dad is also very close, and her care can be heard in her roundabout words.  Anna again, but just looking at her coming here in such a turbulent way, one knows that the relationship between her and her father is even stronger than that of many women.  Being able to do anything for their father is the biggest thing they have in common.

    "Okay, okay, thank you, Anna." Dad smiledHe held her waist and pulled her forward. Anna, who was about to say something, immediately closed her mouth, frowning but looking away expectantly.

    I couldn¡¯t help but rolled my eyes, not looking at these, and then started chatting with Deva and the others.

    "I heard that Mary is going to open her own restaurant. I don't know how many people will want to try the food made by the daughter of the famous King of Hollywood."

    "Why do people go to restaurants looking for the daughter of the King of Hollywood to be a chef instead of really wanting to try Mary's cooking skills? She cooks delicious food."

    "Because she is indeed the daughter of the King of Hollywood. This is a fact that cannot be changed."

    PS: I originally wanted to make a big chapter of 10,000 words, but it ended up exceeding 1w2, so I had to divide it into two paragraphs.
