King of Hollywood

Chapter 196 Two Things

According to psychologists, sex addiction is a kind of mental illness, which is caused by excessive stress or other factors. This thing had a preliminary concept in 1976, but it was not until 1987 that the exact definition was given. It has only been ten years until now. If there is no accident, it will become a marginal vocabulary. After more than ten years, it may gradually be accepted by the society.

Now that it is said that this is not an unexpected situation, then this word will soon be popularized. Naturally, it was an accident, and Clinton contributed a lot. Although the hapless president has not yet encountered the zipper door incident, no matter it will not be too far away, the plaintiff's lawyers in the Clinton sexual harassment case have begun to collect evidence of his promiscuity. Sooner or later.

Strictly speaking, sex addiction cannot be proven. It is at best a hobby, just like some people like to read books, some like to play chess, and some like to chat on the Internet. Playboys like to chase beautiful Taobao women's clothing Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter jacket m beautiful women are the same. It's also ridiculous.

However, the zipper door incident has made this term widely known. Maybe Clinton is promoting it. It is undeniable that the term "sex addiction" gave him a suitable excuse, and he also had a plausible explanation in front of Hillary, so this It doesn't matter whether the words are credible or not. This is the celebrity effect.

That's why Adrian said that cheating men all over the world should thank him, and when they make a mistake, they can tell each other with a vow, it's not that I want this, but I can't control myself, I should see a psychiatrist. Countless families that may be broken have been restored, and countless psychiatrists have been able to support themselves because of this. What a great achievement, isn't it?

Well, in a broad sense, whether it’s reading a book or drinking tea, these daily behaviors are still a bit addictive after a long time, but not too much. People with a little self-control can control themselves, let alone Adrian install. Many times his actions seem reckless and reckless, but in fact they have been carefully considered. From the moment he decided on his goal, he kept calm all the time, and then kept moving forward. Otherwise, even with restraint With Lauder's help, how could he establish the prototype of the empire in just a few years, and how could he put them one by one on the collection shelf.

"Anyway, it's pointless. It's just an excuse for some people to find medical evidence. But anyway, thank you for everything you've done for me." Adrian kissed Charlize on the cheek So said.

The term sex addiction is still very uncommon, Charlize would ask him that, obviously he has read a lot of books, this is enough for him to express it.

"Full of nonsense." Charlize, who was refuted to the point of speaking, finally said so unwillingly, but did not mention the word again, got out of his arms, and went out.

With her by his side and the group's growing scale, Adrian is still very clear about the tabloids' gossip, and they can write whatever they want, as long as it doesn't exceed the bottom line. At least one of them guessed right. He and Nicole are having a hot fight recently. Adrian said before that when a woman keeps breaking the lower limit in front of you, then she will have no lower limit to speak of.

Now that Nicole has made a choice, whether she made it willingly or under the temptation and coercion of Adrian, she has let go of herself after all, so she responds very enthusiastically. Oh, I can't say enthusiasm, it should be... How should I put it, every time she is in bed, she seems to be engaged in a war, trying her best to defeat Adrian, as if she would risk her life.

Adrian welcomes this very much. You must know that whether it is Monica and Julia, or Gwyneth and Blanchett, he can easily settle it, let alone Nicole alone. All Adrian enjoys her body and makes her limp at the end every time, of course, he didn't forget to pay the $1 "whore fee" and Nicole also like him , Every time I accept it without hesitation, it's really interesting.

Well, let's not mention these things and gossip for the time being. Although the newly released "LA Confidential" has gained a lot of word of mouth, the box office is not good. Zhou Cai, who was screened at home, won the box office of 10,000 yuan, which is quite satisfactory. This is quite in line with the judgment of the assistant manager. Nostalgic people are the main consumers of this movie. If it is placed in the Christmas file, it will definitely not be able to compete with those big productions.

Adrian therefore once again rewarded and encouraged that assistant, no matter when talent is important. As for the box office of "L.A. Confidential", as long as the cost can be kept, the main purpose of this movie is not here anyway.

At the end of January, another rather eye-catching thing happened. On the annual Super Bowl, a catwalk was held on the spot during the break. But this show is different from others, there are no weird fashions, only underwear with different styles, and those attractive underwear models

It is conceivable how many men's pulses will be pumped when these curvy models step out wearing only seductive underwear. Moreover, having the right to broadcast the sub-bowl will broadcast the whole process, and several portal websites also broadcast live on the Internet, so people quickly remembered this flamboyant underwear brand: Victoria's Secret

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events in the United States. The ratings have always been high. As long as they can get the broadcast rights, they will always make a profit. Many advertisers want to insert advertisements during the game. The hours of the clock are in the millions. Many actors or singers are also very eager to show up at the Super Bowl. As long as they show up, their popularity will increase a lot, even Madonna and Michael Jackson.

It is conceivable how much benefit Victoria's Secret has gained. You must know that the limelight of the models even overwhelmed the subsequent performances, and became the most talked about topic in this class bowl. Only a few days later, the sales It has doubled, and word of mouth has also improved a lot, and it is just around the corner to become a high-end brand.

"I have to admit that you always see one step ahead of others." After giving the details at Victoria's Secret, Claude called Adrian over and opened a bottle of champagne in the office.

"So, it's worth spending a lot of money to fight for broadcast rights." Adrian raised the cup in his hand, "Now you don't object to fighting for more broadcast rights, do you?"

"I've never objected, I just think we should seize the opportunity, after all, it's broadcast in turn." Claude smiled slyly.

As I said just now, the NFL games and the Super Bowl are one of the few programs that only make money, especially the Super Bowl, which is almost one of the must-see programs for Americans. The Super Bowl was first broadcast by the sole authority, but the behavior of eating alone is definitely not flattering, so as the ratings of the Super Bowl are getting higher and higher, the other three TV stations also joined in, and finally it is like a divided NFL game broadcast In that way, the Super Bowl has become a rotation broadcast by the four wireless broadcasters.

But even so, it needs money to speak, the higher the price, the easier it is to get more broadcasting rights. It has always been dominated by cBs. After all, among the four major broadcasting companies, the two of them have the strongest capital, and then x is at the bottom. There is no way. If it wasn't for the good agreement at the beginning, maybe I wouldn't get it for a season.

This situation improved after the media acquired them. With the injection of new funds and the broadcast of several programs with good ratings, they finally got over their breath, and then took this opportunity to win the almost lost 98 years. At the beginning of the year, the broadcast rights of the Super Bowl, just at this time, a new round of NFL game broadcast rights negotiations began again, Adrian also suggested to take the opportunity to spend a lot of money to at least win the broadcast rights of the Season Bowl.

Although Claude doesn't like football very much, he is also aware of the influence of the Super Bowl, but he hesitated at the beginning, thinking that the season is a little bit too much, and he has just gotten out of the predicament. However, after seeing the huge effect of Victoria's Secret's catwalk in the Super Bowl, he made up his mind.

"With this platform, we can arrange the singers or actors we want to support to perform on it to gain popularity, just like Victoria's Secret." Adrian said after drying the champagne in his hand.

"Really?" Claude responded noncommittally, with a half-smile that seemed to have seen through his mind, while Adrian shrugged indifferently.

"I have an idea, Ed." Crowder suddenly changed the subject, "Maybe we should also buy two or three teams."

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

Generally speaking, American group companies will more or less buy a few teams for fun. For example, TBs originally had two ice hockey teams and one basketball team, but the media sold them all after taking over. For Ted Turner's sake, the basketball team was left behind. Even so, Turner was still depressed for a long time.

There are also many ball games in the United States, and their popularity varies. Rugby is the most popular, as can be seen from the high ratings of the Super Bowl. Baseball is next, basketball is next, and ice hockey is next. Before he retired, Master Joe once made basketball surpass baseball as the second most popular game by virtue of his personal charm, but it was only a flash in the pan, even though he is now playing again. Served, but can no longer change the overall situation.

In short, being able to own a popular team in a popular game is also very prestigious. In essence, this is no different from those comparisons between the riches, but with a lot of gorgeous coats, it looks different and superior. . So, there is no doubt that Crowder's goal is one in the nFL.

"There are a few considerations, but not now," Claude laughed, "I know your plan, so don't be nervous."

Adrian smiled and did not make a sound. The last piece of the puzzle has not been put together. It is indeed too early to say this, and even if it is put together, it only means that the foundation has been laid. To make the empire look more gorgeous and worthy of the name, Still need to continue to work hard. Of course, it won't be too long, it only takes two or three years.

"What about you, Ed, what suggestion do you have?" Claude asked suddenly.

"Me?" Adrian raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he has no interest in the NFL, but when it comes to the team.

"I really want to buy the Lakers, but I don't know how to deal with that old guy Jerry Buss." He spread his hands and said.

"Why the Lakers?" Crowder asked with interest.

"Because it's a Los Angeles team." Adrian lied without changing his expression.

"So do the Clippers."

"Not as good as the Lakers, and Jerry Buss and Donald Sterling are still friends—well, if you really want to fulfill my wish, Crowe, find a way to get Buss out."

That's it for now, and while it's not particularly difficult to sell the Lakers from Buss, it's not going to be easy either, as with Crowder's idea of ​​buying a football team until the last piece of the puzzle is put together.

At the end of January 1998, in addition to Victoria's Secret's amazing catwalk in the Super Bowl, another incident happened. For many people, this is not an important matter, but for Adrian and the person involved But it is worth remembering here, Britney's first album was sold out, and Bo's title song also began to hit the charts. The name of this song is "Baby, Love Me Again".

"Hi, how are you, listeners, I'm your faithful Woden? How proud it would be, knowing that mJ told me that I was only slightly worse than him in singing "B"..."

Listening to the voice from the radio, one of the girls standing in front of him couldn't help complaining, "Damn, this guy is really nagging."

Perhaps hearing her complaint, the host of the radio station immediately changed the subject: "Okay, let's start the formal topic quickly, the director is going crazy in front of him, if he doesn't get to the point, he will kill me. So what I want to recommend today is the work of a newcomer, the first song of a sixteen-year-old girl's album. It is lively and cute, full of energy and sweet, and has a strong sense of rhythm, which is very suitable for Young man. So next, listen to Britney Spears' "Love Me Again, Baby"

As the ups and downs came out, the girls waiting in front of them immediately cheered, and the girls surrounded by them were especially excited.

"How about it? This is my new song. I can't wait to find out. When the "Billboard" list comes out, it will be ranked." Britney said triumphantly to her friends, and a group of girls immediately shouted She cast either envious or jealous eyes.

"At least it should be in the front." A girl thought for a while and said, "The mTV filming of this song is also good, Britney is very beautiful."

"Who knows, maybe I can make it into the top ten." Another girl put forward a different opinion.

On the radio, Britney's slightly hoarse and sweet voice kept wafting out. I have to admit that her voice is indeed very flavorful and quite likable. Soon the girls began to hum softly, and Britney was even more excited. proud.

Soon, the song ended, and the host's funny voice sounded again: "Oh, it's really beautiful, the sweet magnetic voice is reminiscent of floating, well, I've decided, I must invite her in the next show As a guest, I want to know what kind of sweet and lovely girl she is, and if you want to know too, please pray that the dear producer will agree to my request."

"Whoa, Britney is going to be on the Worden Jackson radio show."

"He wants to know how sweet and lovely you are, I envy you, Britney."

A group of girls started booing and pushing Britney around.

"Okay, didn't he say that, the producer of the show must agree to it." Although Britney said so, her chin was raised high, and her complacent expression did not diminish at all.

But she quickly thought of something and yelled, then packed up in a panic, as if she was about to go out.

"What happened?" a girl asked.

"I almost forgot. I'm going to the record company this afternoon to discuss some issues with the art director. I'm sorry, but I can't accompany you." Britney said apologetically, and then ran downstairs without stopping. .

"Mom, I'm going out for a while, maybe I'll be back later." She ran for several rooms before finding her mother in the corner of the kitchen. To her surprise, her father was also here.

"What's the matter, honey?" Lynn asked her daughter.

Britney repeated what she had said before.

"I'll take you there." Jamie Spears next to him said at this time.

"No need, Dad, I'll just find a taxi. It's not a big deal. If it's fast, I'll be back in a while. If it's slow, it might be one o'clock in the evening." Britney refused.

"Hey Britney, can we follow?" Several other girls also ran down the stairs.

"Oh, no, I have something to discuss with the art director today. If you want to visit, I can apply for you. If the company agrees, you can go anytime." As Britney's voice faded away, the girl They also left the kitchen quickly, and the two adults looked away.

"You should follow, Jamie." Lynn said dissatisfied at this time.

"Don't worry, she's not a child. If I follow her, she will only be disgusted." Jamie shrugged indifferently.

"But..." Lynn wanted to say something, but after uttering two words, she closed her mouth again.

"What are you worried about? Worried that she has a boyfriend?" Jamie said jokingly.

"Maybe it's my illusion." Lynn didn't deny it, and frowned and sighed, "I always feel that she..."

"Okay, don't worry about this, let's talk about it after the results come out, maybe it's not good." Jamie said in a relaxed tone, but the excitement in his eyes betrayed his thoughts.

"Well, anyway, be careful," Lynn didn't say much, "If Boo Boo really becomes a big star..."

"I know what to do." Jamie said immediately, "This is our family's opportunity." ..
