King of Hollywood

Chapter 206 The Real New Miracle Girl

Before the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, the rumors of Cruise and Nicole's divorce were just rumors. Sooner or later, but no one can be 100% sure. After all, they were also a model couple in Hollywood—although this is the same in nature as the title of "the award closest to the Oscar"—and Nicole has always been a vase image, far less famous than Cruise. Mrs. Ruth is better known by her name than by her first name, and it is hard to say that she would be willing to divorce.

But now the rumors have become facts. While many people are extremely disappointed, countless reporters seem to smell bloody sharks flocking to the two of them. They almost follow them wherever they go, and they will raise their cameras at any time. There was a burst of shooting, so that Adrian was very careful when interviewing Nicole today. Of course, Cruise also helped a lot in it. As a popular star in Hollywood, he received much more attention than Nicole.

It’s just that Cruise once again committed the problem of not knowing how to be a human being. After being spotted by reporters when traveling alone, he became impatient after being pestered several times, and blurted out without thinking: "I have nothing to do with her anymore, why should I answer these questions?" question"

So the next day, several newspapers published headlines like "Seven years of love and now nothing". You know, no matter how much you are dissatisfied with your partner, before the divorce procedure has been formally started and the other party has not spoken ill of each other Before, keeping silent and demeanor was the best approach, otherwise you would only put yourself in a passive position. Cruise proved this very well, and Nicole quickly issued a statement: "...Although there have been irreconcilable conflicts between us, the past time is still lingering in Xu's heart. Hearing such words, I'm really disappointed and sad..."

Under the direction of Adrian, after responding so politely and politely, and then after packaging, sorting out and guiding the media, Nicole immediately stood in a weak and hurt position and won the majority of public opinion. With sympathy, Cruise has also suffered a lot of accusations for this, and he can't tell the pain.

Even so, the divorce turmoil this time was not as strong as Adrian remembered. First, the time was much earlier, and the prenuptial agreement was beneficial to Cruise, so he didn't need to rush to settle it in a short time; Derian also does not suggest that Nicole ask too much, so that they can get together and break up, and promise that what she loses now will be regained from herself.

However, Nicole or Cruise started a fight over the division of property. Naturally, a woman like her would not allow herself to be completely attached to Adrian, not to mention that he is still so "bad" and his own interests need his own go for it. Besides, Adrian would not agree with her pretending to be generous. It would be a bit contrived to give everything to the other party, and it would easily arouse suspicion. It is better to keep this kind of thing low-key or low-key.

So although this divorce turmoil is not as noisy as Adrian remembers, it will attract attention for a long time.

"It seems that I must agree?" Nicole picked up the script and flipped through it before throwing it on the coffee table in front of her again.

"I really hope you can agree, Nicole." Adrian said seriously, "I will try to complete this small-budget film within two months, and then send it to Cannes to participate. You can make full use of this supporting role to show it first." Once you are covered up in acting, you can also warm up, and then play more perfectly in the next movie I arrange for you."

"Wait," Nicole raised her eyebrows suddenly, "Which role do you want me to play? Betty? Or Diane?"

"Didn't I say it?" Adrian asked in recollection.

"Betty is Diane for a while, and Rita is Betty for a while, how do I know which one you are talking about?" Nicole snorted softly.

"Well, Rita in the front and Betty in the back are the black woman." Adrian said simply.

Nicole said "Oh" noncommittally, but looked away, and said after a while, "I don't look good when I'm dyed black."

Then dye it dark brown. "Adrian quickly walked down the street, and at the same time smiled silently in his heart. He was really a different person before and after. He kept tweaking and refusing before, but now he started to pick and choose. Of course, what did Adrian think about her? He wouldn't be able to see it, but it would be naive to think that it would be out of his control.

"Listen to me, Nicole," Adrian got up and sat on the sofa where she was lying horizontally, and hugged her legs into his arms. Nicole struggled slightly and then stopped moving, "These two The roles of the roles are similar, and they all test their acting skills, there is no distinction between them, if you feel dissatisfied, you can compare her with her excellence during filming."

Nicole, who was said to be the center of the matter, immediately coughed dryly, and gave Adrian an unhappy look, but at the same time she was a little helpless. Adrian has always been very direct in this situation, which made her unable to fight back.

Fortunately, he didn't get too entangled in this topic, and then continued: "Besides, the reason why this script can be completed is because the experience of the selected heroine inspired me. This role belongs to her. Just like the heroine of the script I arranged for you, it is also tailor-made for you. So don't worry so much, I believe you will do well, whether it is this role or the next one."

"Are you sure?" Nicole was in a daze for a while after hearing the word "tailor-made".

"Of course, that's what I said." Adrian said with a slight lift of his chin in a tone that is no match for me.

"Okay, then it's settled." Nicole said after sighing, and then asked angrily, "When are you going to touch it?"

"Of course I don't want to touch it." Adrian said with a chuckle. After hugging Nicole's legs in his arms, his hands were not walking on those well-proportioned legs. She was dressed in black, from the velvet skirt to the belt to the stockings, they were all the same black, giving her a mysterious beauty and temptation.

"Ed..." Nicole straightened up and wanted to say something, but in the end she just called his name in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Adrian asked, but he held her right foot with his right hand and gently kneaded it, and from time to time he hooked his fingers and stroked the sole of the foot. The warmth and numbness that came from Nicole's body Once soft, it almost spread out on the sand.

"It's nothing," she said after a while, and turned her head to look out of the window, "it's just...some...can't see clearly."

Although she was a little vague, Adrian still understood the meaning of the words, it was nothing, she somewhat regretted it. This is normal. Although there were many reasons for her marrying Cruise at the beginning, she still has some feelings after so many years. As long as she is not a heartless person, she will inevitably feel a little bit of reluctance and want to keep her when she separates. Thoughts are natural, not to mention she knows that she can't control Adrian.

Of course, she wouldn't know that even if Adrian hadn't intervened, she and Cruise would still be divorced in two years. Some rifts were irreparable, and the excitement would be far greater than it is now.

Adrian naturally wouldn't let her continue to recall, so he changed the subject in time: "By the way, speaking of it, you still know the heroine."

"Know?" Nicole turned her head around again, then frowned slightly.

"Yes, Naomi Watts." Adrian nodded, ", Naomi, Watts."

"Naomi Watts?" Nicole looked like she was remembering, but she didn't say anything for a while.

"She said that she went to the same drama academy as you in Australia." Adrian reminded.

"Uh...uh...yes, I remember, Naomi Watts, she has beautiful blonde hair and gray green eyes, she was very pretty, and she was at my bachelor party before I got married" Nicole yelled excitedly when she thought of something, but then fell silent when she thought of something again.

Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect them to have such a relationship. No wonder the media said they were girlfriends in his memory, but if so, why did Naomi end up in that situation? Even if Nicole's current fame has not reached the height of a few years later, she is still a first-line star, so it shouldn't be difficult to help her?

But he quickly laughed in his heart. From the fact that Nicole thought for a long time or relied on his own prompts to recall, he knew that the relationship between the two women, or the current relationship, was not as close as he remembered. As for the future, oh, that's perfectly normal. After all, they know each other, they are classmates, and they have a lot of friendship. They are all Australians, and they should support each other.

"How is she now?" Nicole quickly adjusted, and then asked, "You said before that you completed this script based on what happened to her?"

That's right, his mind is very quick, and he secretly praised in his heart, and Adrian nodded immediately: "Yes, I can only say that it's not too bad."

"Really?" Nicole narrowed her eyes immediately thinking of something, then suddenly pulled her legs out of his arms, then got up and said in a cold tone: "Okay, I got it, that's it. "

It's... interesting. Adrian raised his eyebrows. It seems that the first plan can't be used, so let's use the second plan.

He also stood up: "Very well, then I will leave."

As he spoke, he turned Nicole's body around: "Before I leave, can I express it?"

"I don't think it's necessary..." Before Nicole finished speaking, he hugged her and blocked her lips. She whimpered a few times and then obeyed.

"It's really tempting." After tasting her lips, Adrian said in admiration, and then walked away with hatred in her eyes.

The news that the Marvel director had started working on a new movie spread throughout Hollywood within a few hours. The reason why it was so fast was mainly because the location of the filming was in Hollywood.

First, some tourists noticed that a film crew was filming exterior scenes outside a certain cafe. This is nothing, this is Hollywood, and such things happen every day. Although those actors are not well-known people, someone quickly recognized who the director was. After a phone call broke the news, reporters rushed to them. Although they were quickly stopped outside, they confirmed that the director of the film was indeed It's Adrian.

"His energy is really strong. If I remember correctly, he seems to have produced three films last year, but none of them have been released yet. Could it be that the director of Miracle is now obsessed with production and doesn't plan to do it? Or Is it just for myself to watch? Or do you want to choose a time to release four movies at a time? If so, movie fans will definitely be very troubled. Finally, there is a movie directed by Miracle, but which one should I watch? Just once After watching all of them, I don’t want to watch them anymore.” A reporter wrote sarcastically.

No wonder there is such a reaction. As the reporter said, he has produced three films last year, none of which have been released until now, and then he will start making a new film. This is not his style at all. , even though the sci-fi movie called "The Matrix" has already started to promote, what is he thinking? This is what many of his research subjects want to know.

Actors want to know how to get acquainted with a miracle director, he always likes to appoint actors, only those small supporting roles will audition; new directors want to know how to get investment from him, he always likes to support new directors; and investment Man wants to know how to get a piece of his movies, and he doesn't mind sharing, but the best goodies get snatched away.

What about the people around Adrian?

"Anyway, just remember to ask about the company." This was Cloud's reply after knowing that he was going to start making a new movie, and he was already immune to his style.

As for the women, they basically shrugged their shoulders, even after learning who the two main female characters were, and they got used to it as well.

Only Sophie complained about Adrian's inability to go to France during this period—he would go to Paris at least once a week during the Christmas-New Year holidays—and was even more hesitant about buying land in Los Angeles.

"Very good, that's the feeling, let's do it again." In front of the lively street, Adrian clapped his hands and said loudly, then gave Naomi a thumbs up.

"Mulholland Drive" doesn't have too many shooting skills, and the lens structure is quite satisfactory. The main attraction is the weird atmosphere and various hints. This requires hard work in editing. So as long as the actors can express the emotions of the characters, the shooting will be quite fast.

Here, Betty/Diane, played by Naomi, came out of the airport with her uncle and aunt. She finally came to Los Angeles and came to Hollywood. She took a big step towards her dream, with a big smile on her face, and everything so beautiful.

For Naomi, it is not difficult to grasp this emotion well, as long as she recalls how she came to Los Angeles in the first place, so the ng times of these shots are no more than four times.

"Nice job, Nami," Adrian couldn't help shouting after the scene of parting with his uncle and aunt passed.

"How's it going, do you need a rest?" He immediately raised his voice and asked Naomi.

"It's okay, I can persevere." Naomi said after taking a deep breath while stroking the silk beside her ear. The low-heeled leather shoes of the same color as the trousers made her look a little rustic, but also had an indescribable charm.

"You can persist, but they can't," Adrian pointed to the staff around him humorously, "take a break, and try to take the last four shots at once."

After ordering the director's assistant a few words, and discussing the subsequent plot with the assistant director, Adrian came to Naomi who was sitting on a chair drinking water: "How do you feel?"

"Very good, nothing...better than now." Naomi pursed her lips and said, her eyes slowly swept from the surroundings, and her voice was kept to a minimum, "I have dreamed of such a situation more than once , I stood in the middle of the set, people circled around me, everything was serving me... Every time I dreamed, I would smile wryly, I don't know if this dream can be realized... Until today..."

Her voice trembled slightly because of excitement, and Adrian then put his hands on her shoulders: "This is just the beginning, Nami, believe me, your future road will be even broader."

"I believe," she looked up, watching Adrian smile, "I believe in you, Ed."

Although it is a scene at the airport, it does not mean going to the airport to shoot. Although it is not a few years now, it is too troublesome to apply to the airport for a scene. So I set up an entrance in the studio, and then went to the street outside to shoot some street scenes, and then edited them later. What is being filmed right now is the plot of Betty/Diane coming out of the airport to take a taxi, and the people on the street are coming and going, and it is inevitable that some people will be mixed in with them. Although they cannot take pictures, their eyes can see it. It could be written, so the headline "New Miracle Girl Officially Released" was published the next day.

Compared with Zeta Jones, Naomi is undoubtedly more qualified. She plays the leading role in a movie directed by Miracle Director and has a close relationship with Miracle Director. The reporters hiding in the crowd were not allowed to take pictures, but they tried to use exaggerated style of writing as much as possible in the description. Even if the two spoke normally, they would write very intimately, not to mention that Adrian put his hands on on her shoulders.

"Undoubtedly, another lucky person has won the favor of a miracle director, especially this Miss Naomi, although she has had acting experience for several years, she has never played any important and impressive roles. She doesn't seem to have anything special, except that she is very beautiful. So how did Adrian find her? Although he has proved his vision with many facts, people can't help but ask here, so Can a girl really take on the leading role of his movie?" wrote one newspaper. . ..
