King of Hollywood

Chapter 122 At the Cocktail Party

Cannes, like other European film festivals, only runs for two weeks, so it's drawing to a close in the blink of an eye. As one of the most famous film festivals in the world, Cannes has attracted the attention of countless directors, actors and media from all over the world. During the period, many well-received films were released, but the most popular one is "Pulp Fiction" .

Since the film was screened at the Kappa Theater on May 16, every show has been full of audiences every day. Because of the unanimous praise of most of the media, many people want to come to see the real face and see "Pulp Fiction" "Is there anything worth noting. There are even quite a few American tabloid reporters who came to Cannes from China after reading the report, hoping to find some news about the fifth film directed by Wizards. The comparison between the first part and the well-received fifth part is well known.

Although many people thought it was exaggerated after reading it, a Spanish reporter wrote in his article: "The plot is too scattered and full of trivial details, but it is divided into three or even four paragraphs. It's unbearable to stop when people feel that they are about to enter the play. Although the ring structure echoing from the beginning to the end is eye-catching, the nonsense at the beginning is really boring. I don't know what the director wants to express. what."

However, this view is always a minority, and most people give it a high evaluation. As Adrian expected, various interpretations—interpretation of postmodernism, Jules reading the Bible The enlightenment of the old man, the experience of the big brother Marsha shows that the world is impermanent, etc., and so on have sprung up. It's dumbfounding, god knows, it's just a fun, funny, weird, inventive movie

Relatively speaking, the Americans are a little more pragmatic, and they did not analyze it from a profound perspective, but found out various tributes, and reviews of film history, music history, etc. - of course, It is indispensable to satirize Adrian's literary fourth film, which has been unwilling to disclose details.

Adrian didn't take it to heart, but told Lavern to be cautious when operating the remote control: "It doesn't matter, just be careful not to overdo it, and if necessary, you can also make some noise about the next movie to divert the attention of the media." , but it’s best to wait until after the festival is over, when Pulp Fiction starts to hit theaters.”

Judging from the current situation, the box office of this movie is definitely no problem. Although it is two years ahead of schedule, the audience will not reject such a fun and very interesting movie, so the only goal at present is the Palme d'Or. Even if the public relations work is handed over to Laverne, Adrian, as the director and producer, has to properly attend some parties and receptions, who makes this Europe.

But Adrian always went there with pleasure. Anyway, most of the time in Cannes was spent resting. Except for a few appearances in public during the screening of "Pulp Fiction", he took Monica around for the rest of the time. So it doesn't matter if you go to the reception to deal with it, and at the same time, you can also have a relationship or something.

"How are you doing recently, Dan? Did the beautiful scenery of Cannes make you feel refreshed? Did the beautiful girls on the beach strike up a conversation with you?" After meeting Dennis at the reception, Adrian asked jokingly road.

"This is indeed a beautiful place, I like it very much. As for those girls, I don't want to cause trouble here, who knows what they are thinking." Dennis shook his head.

Adrian chuckled, and then asked again: "Then why don't you invite your Winona to go with you? This is a good opportunity to deepen the relationship."

Dennis looked up at him, then shrugged helplessly: "I invited, but she declined."

"So, she still has some brains, but why can't she make a decision?" Adrian sighed, "Reporters will know sooner or later, and it's hard to say what will happen by then."

"It's okay, let's talk about it when the time comes, I can't make it too difficult for her." Dennis was very open-minded.

"Ha, I'm really disappointed, Dan, you know..." Adrian was about to teach him a few words, but Dennis changed the subject immediately: "By the way, why don't you see Monica with you?"

"Well...she's not feeling well, so she's resting in the hotel." Adrian said without changing his face.

In fact, the reason why Monica didn't attend the reception together was because... Simply put, that night, because Monica had never had any experience, Adrian was always careful, so naturally he didn't enjoy himself to the fullest. And last night, considering that Monica already had experience, Adrian simply came again, although this time it was done happily, but it was a little bit later, and Monica was lying on the bed all day , of course it is impossible to come to the reception.

How could Dennis, who was already familiar with Adrian, not be able to guess what was going on—of course, he certainly couldn't guess the reason behind it. But he could only express regret and then keep silent.

Adrian didn't continue this topic anymore, but talked about something else: "Although your performance has been very good, I don't think you can try to change some roles at present. If you can still grasp it well, then The scope of the play will be wider. But don’t have too much burden, if you fail, it’s a big deal and you can go back to that kind of evil character.”

"No problem, I will do what you say." Dennis had no objection at all.

"Very good, you can rest for a while after the film festival, and I will let you know when I have a plan." Adrian nodded, looked around and pointed not far away: "Let's go and have a look, Bruce still There's John and they're all there."

The two walked over immediately, and Travolta, Willis, and Willis' wife Demi Moore stood up and talked together for some unknown reason. They seemed to be very happy with smiles on their faces, and there seemed to be someone else beside them.

"Hey, everyone, what are you talking about?" Adrian started to say hello a few steps away.

"Ha, we happened to be talking about you, Ed." Willis was the first to wave.

"Speaking of me?" Adrian nodded to Travolta and Demi Moore, while looking at Willis with interest, "So it's talking about my overreaching and wanting to shoot literary and artistic films Movies, or talk about me making movie after movie like a workaholic?"

"Duben. Yes, these are your two most prominent traits now, Ed." Willis laughed, and then began to introduce a couple next to him, "By the way, I think this You two should be familiar with each other, right?"

After seeing each other clearly, Adrian couldn't help raising his eyebrows subtly.

"Of course not, I have known you for a long time." Adrian said and stretched out his hand in front of the man. "It's a pleasure to see you here, Mr. Tom Cruise."

"You can call me Tom or Tommy, Adrian, I am also very happy to meet you." Tom Cruise said with a smile. He is still very young now, and his smile is indeed very sunny and charming. No wonder he is not accepted by Oscar see you.

"Thank you, please call me Ed." Adrian nodded, and then looked at the young woman beside him who was at least half a head taller than him: "And you, Nicole—"

"Nicole Kidman, you can call me Nicole, Mr. Adrian." Nicole, who has red and golden curly hair, said first with the same smile as her husband. She was wearing a thin-shouldered black dress with slits Almost to the half of her thighs, the black transparent stockings added a lot of sexiness to her, but the shoes were flat.

"Okay, Nicole." Adrian kept his smile unchanged, and at the same time sneaked a glance at Cruise. The other's face didn't change because of his wife's words, but it's unclear what he was thinking.

"I really hope Bruce didn't talk nonsense just now, I don't want to leave a bad impression on you." Adrian said jokingly.

"That's not very pleasant to say, Ed, am I that kind of person?" Willis immediately showed displeasure.

"You may not be that kind of person, but everyone may make a slip of the tongue, isn't it?" Adrian spread his hands, and the expression of "you admit it" made the two ladies burst out laughing.

"If you say that, Ed, John may have made a mistake, but why do you only trouble Bruce." Demi asked her husband immediately after all.

"That's because it's not his turn yet. We all know that Bruce is always very enthusiastic, so he is more likely to slip up than John." Adrian said and looked at Travolta, "John, we will be there soon You, don't worry."

"Wow, it's really unfortunate." Travolta sighed, "How could I meet a guy like you."

"Actually, Bruce and the others didn't say anything just now...it's not pleasant to hear," Cruise, who kept smiling and shaking his head, interjected, "They just objectively told all kinds of interesting things about you at my request. Frankly To put it bluntly, although I have heard many rumors about you before, the first meeting still surprised me."

"Really? Think I'm a bit out of touch and not like a director?" Adrian said jokingly.

"Of course not," Cruise waved his hand, "I always feel that a director who has the title of workaholic and is called a genius should be slovenly, and he should be informal in his words and deeds, a little ugly. But it doesn't look like that now , you are very personable, Ed, even when you are joking, you are very measured, good at adjusting the atmosphere, um... not bad."

Although the words were full of praise, Adrian raised his eyebrows involuntarily, and he heard the well-hidden disapproval and a little contempt.

"Thank you, Tommy, you are exactly as I imagined, none of those tabloid reporters can be trusted." Adrian still kept smiling, his tone full of sincerity.
