King of Hollywood

Chapter 49 The Advantages of Identity

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little more depressing. Aunt Martha glanced at her husband worriedly, Diane glanced at her boyfriend anxiously, and Uncle Anderson seemed not to notice anything, and cut off his hair calmly. After putting a small piece of vegetable into his mouth, he opened his mouth slowly: "That's your young people's business, you can solve your own business by yourself. (Baidu search m, Rainbow Literature Network)"

Immediately, everyone, including Victor and Adrian, breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Adrian, Victor will go back to his parents' house in New York for dinner tonight, but he facilitated it, and it would be too bad if there was any conflict with Uncle Anderson like before.

Fortunately, Uncle has never interrupted their conversation, nor has he shown the appearance that he used to teach a few words from time to time, which is really rare.

"I'm serious, Victor, I saw the website you run, and it's not bad. As I said before, people who can invest in the IT industry at this time and run it well must have a long-term vision. I just need such a person to help me." After dinner, Uncle Anderson went to the study, Aunt Martha and Diane went aside to chat about women's affairs, and Adrian and Victor naturally continued the dinner table on topic.

"It's just a small website," Victor shrugged, "and it's just my company's official website, so don't make such a fuss."

"No, no, Victor," Adrian shook his head, "Sometimes you can see a person's habits and abilities from some small places. Although your company's official website is not big, but some places do It's smart and attractive, and mostly your idea, and you should be doing the website instead of advertising and print."

He paused at this point, and then looked at Victor half-jokingly: "Otherwise, I will use some special means to force you to submit, such as buying your company."

"I won't sell it, Ed," Victor laughed. "You really want me to help you?"

"Yes, I still have a lot of ideas on website operation, and with the development of the media, in order to prevent some problems from appearing, I may have to operate independently when I am involved in website affairs in the future, so I need someone with vision and ability to help , just like Crowe and me." Adrian said sincerely, "You are very sharp, Victor, I can tell from your company's small website."

"This is really a shocking statement." After a long silence, Victor sighed, "When I finally made my own achievements, you came to me and told me that this line of work is not suitable for me, Ed. , you are more..."

He made a gesture, and then laughed: "Okay, I will think about it, this time it is serious, and I will give you an answer after Thanksgiving at the latest."

"I'm waiting for your good news." Adrian smiled and patted Victor on the shoulder, "Okay, I'm going to talk to my uncle now, don't worry, it's just some company matters, and it won't be given by him. You put pressure on, and it's useless to talk about it."

Winning Victor was not just to show his uncle's goodwill. Adrian had noticed his ability in operation and management a long time ago, but at that time he just wanted to draw him into the company to take charge of management. But after the IT bubble burst, Adrian immediately discovered another of his strengths, having a good sense of website operation. For example, the several click-attracting and user-friendly interfaces of the official website all come from his ideas, and for example, at a time when many investors shy away from the IT industry, they see the opportunity to invest in y and Yahoo.

Doing this at this time, not all speculators who are bold and reckless, are visionary investors. Adrian believes that Victor is the latter. After several years of contact, he still has a certain understanding of Victor's character, otherwise he would not Will want to pull him into his group. Obviously, Victor has been studying, and he has learned very well, so he will definitely not be satisfied with the status quo. Coupled with Adrian's famous vision and the achievements of building a large group in less than ten years, It's absolutely impossible if he doesn't move. In fact, in those last few sentences, Victor had already revealed his tone.

Let Victor take charge of the network affairs first, and see if he can grasp the essence of it. Adrian thought so, although Victor has shown certain judgment, except for people like Adrian who can predict the future, almost no one can fully see the development trend of the Internet, and now he is excellent in the website Most of the talents are basically under the age of thirty, so it is necessary for Victor to conduct further tests. But it's not a big deal. If you can, you don't need to say it. If you can't, it doesn't matter. He still has the ability in management and operation.

Dong dong dong, reached out and knocked on the door of the study room twice, and after getting permission, Adrian walked into his uncle's study room.

"Sit down." Anderson pointed to the chair in front of him, never leaving the photo frame in his hand, and put it on the desk after a while.

It was a very ordinary photo, even in the frame, it looked a bit old, a little boy was riding on a man's shoulders, all with big smiles. Adrian couldn't help but shook his head in his heart. Both Victor and Uncle Anderson were actually tired of this tit-for-tat situation deep down by now, after all, they were father and son.

Victor still cared about his father, otherwise he would not have brought his girlfriend back to New York under Adrian's persuasion this time. And Uncle Anderson was also trying not to interfere in his son's life, otherwise he wouldn't have said the last sentence so lightly tonight. However, due to various reasons and the fact that the accumulated conflicts could not be resolved, the two still maintained this awkward relationship.

Sure enough, there is no enmity between a father and a son. Adrian couldn't help sighing again in his heart, and then some fragments involuntarily popped up in his mind, some in this life and some in the past, which made him a little dazed for a while.

"What are you thinking?" Anderson, who had adjusted his emotions, asked at this time.

"Hmm...it's nothing," Adrian smiled when he came back to his senses, "I just... thought of my father."

Although as far as the two-thirds of the souls have not seen the father in this life, they can find many fragments of joy, happiness, quarrels, anger, etc. from the one-third of the souls, although some The places are not the same as the two-thirds of the souls about the father, but most of them are indeed the same in essence.

Hearing this sentence, Anderson couldn't help but fell silent again, and sighed softly after a while: "Jeff will be proud of you."

"Thank you." Although Adrian quickly adjusted because of the father-son relationship between Uncle Anderson and Victor, it has been ten years, and his heart has already become extremely strong. These emotions are just adjustments in life.

"Victor is slowly improving his relationship with you, Uncle Anderson, he brought Diane home today," Adrian said immediately, "I think they are a good match."

"Diane is really nice," Anderson admitted. "It's time for Victor to get married."

Diane? Gleason's father runs a big business in Boston, although his net worth is not as good as Anderson's? Kewell, but he is considered a respectable person in Boston. Diane is also well-bred, and it is normal for her to be recognized by Uncle Anderson. Playing with a woman is different from taking a wife. If you want to play with a woman, you only need to look at the right person, but if you want to take a wife, you must find a woman who can help you.

Either this woman is very capable, such as Trump's current girlfriend, although she is a model born in Slovenia, but she is very skilled and good at weaving relationships for Trump-in fact, the same is true of Trump's two previous wives.

Either this woman has a good family background and is worthy of marriage. This is also one of the reasons why high society follows the right family apart from conversation or common hobbies.

"What about you, Ed?" Anderson's tone suddenly became very serious, "Jeff will be proud of you, except for one thing - the mothers of the three children are different, what are you thinking?"

As expected of Uncle Anderson. Adrian smiled helplessly, and then spread his hands: "Actually, two more children are about to be born, and...the mother is also different."

"?!" Even Anderson, who has always been calm, couldn't help opening his eyes wide in shock.

Calculated in this way, Adrian has already had five children, and the mothers of each child are different...It's too exaggerated!

"God, do you know what you're doing, Ed?!" Anderson frowned deeply, and he waved his hand as if trying to cover his forehead.

"Relax, dear uncle, it's not a big deal." Adrian put on a lazy tone, "Although I don't plan to get married, they are all my children, that's for sure, don't worry, I'll take care of it everything."

Anderson stared at him for a long time, then suddenly sat up straight and changed the subject: "Okay, tell me why you came here, do you have any new ideas?"

As expected of Uncle Anderson. Adrian said something in admiration in his heart this time. Don't look at him who always likes to show his power, always likes to point fingers at younger generations, but at the same time he is also a pragmatic person. Buffett is the best example. Uncle Anderson has always disliked Jews, and he often said this in front of him, but he admires Buffett very much.

"He's very pragmatic and shrewd, and he doesn't believe in Judaism, so he's not Jewish," Anderson said at the time.

In this regard, Adrian can only shrug his shoulders. Well, Buffett is an agnostic, so he can not be considered a Jew, but what about the guys on Wall Street who believe in Judaism? But then again, there may not be many devout Jews among Wall Street Jews, especially traditional Jews.

In short, Adrian is now the boss of one of the best media groups in the United States. Although Anderson can still say a few words as an elder in private, in other respects, the two are already qualified to be equal, so even if Anderson wants to beat him You have to pick the right time.

"During dinner before, Victor and I have already said that the group will make a big move next. The risks are a bit high, but the rewards are equally high. Maybe Uncle Anderson can give me some suitable advice." Adrian smiled He said, his words remained respectful as always, no matter what he said, he was his own family, and the respect he deserved was indispensable.

After chatting with his uncle in the study, Adrian left immediately. He now has his own residence in New York and doesn't need to stay at his uncle's house, but Victor and Diane stayed. Although Anderson didn't make a clear statement, Adrian can conclude that he will support himself only if there is a possibility of success.

It's very simple. As the boss of the media, Adrian is a native American, and he can also be regarded as English or Anglo-Saxon. Based on this, he can get enough in that Jewish-occupied Hollywood. support.

"This status is really great." Adrian said half-mocking and half-teasing to the colorful New York on the balcony of the luxury apartment.

However, it is impossible to achieve the goal just relying on the support of Uncle Anderson. The success or failure of the entire acquisition. But it doesn't matter, you don't know how to do it.

After this matter was resolved, Adrian also relaxed and stayed in New York for a few more days. Of course, it was necessary to ask Natalie out to have fun and... to participate in some receptions.

"Yes, the freezing period, I use this term to describe the current IT industry, but it will recover in three to four years at the most. The bursting of the bubble certainly dealt a major blow to the IT industry, but it also brought the IT industry on its way to the top. A good track," Adrian said, raising his glass, "that's how I see it, gentlemen, excuse me."

After finishing speaking, he bowed and left the small circle. Receptions are always like this. Several people stand or sit together to compliment each other, and take this opportunity to meet some people. Those who really have something to talk about will find a room to talk in private.

It's really boring. After muttering this, Adrian put the cup on the waiter's plate casually, and sat on the high stool at the bar a little bored. It's a pity I can't bring Natalie, she is so charming when she is dissatisfied but dare not explode; Ivanka would be fine, but as soon as she arrived in New York, she went back to her father's house, although Trump has acquiesced in the current situation , but such a direct door-to-door dignitary seems inappropriate...

So I had to go to the reception alone, and greeted, greeted and chatted with people I knew and didn't know. Adrian stretched a little, then glanced to the side, and then added in his mind: Or sitting at the bar and listening to a man show off making a movie to a young girl.

"The so-called expressive montage is based on the alignment of shots, through the echoes, contrasts, metaphors and symbols between images, revealing their inner connections, endowing them with new meanings, and arousing the audience's association..." Bearded A male in his mid-thirties was showing off to a young girl who looked to be in her mid-twenties.

Look at that girl, with long platinum blonde hair, although leaning on the high stool, her graceful figure is still somewhat attractive, although there is only a back view, it can be seen that her temperament is not bad, They should be the children of wealthy families. On the other hand, that man was dressed very formally, but his collar was unbuttoned, his tie was loose, and his shirt was still tied in the middle of his trousers. It seemed unruly, but the actual effect...

He actually used the method of introducing how to make a movie to pick up girls, and all of them are words from books, which are almost useless in actual shooting. Is his head flooded? Thinking of this, Adrian couldn't help laughing.

The eloquent man happened to have a short pause here, so he heard his laughter, and when he looked up, he just saw a disapproving smile flashing across Adrian's face, and suddenly became annoyed: "Why, Is there anything wrong with what I say, sir?"

"No, of course not, sir, you perfectly explained what expressive montage is." Adrian smiled and waved his hands, too lazy to share his knowledge.

"Really? But I don't think so. Maybe you can tell me why you think my explanation is perfect?" The other party came over reluctantly.

Adrian suddenly smiled and shook his head. Obviously, this guy probably felt that he was about to get the girl, but he still couldn't get the last step, so when he made his voice, he thought that he was messed up by himself Yes, so I want to teach myself a lesson, so as to take this opportunity to get that girl.

"Rick, don't do this." The girl who was chatting with him hurriedly stretched out her hand, but then found that the man didn't move, and looked at Adrian with embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" the girl asked strangely, then she looked over and screamed in a low voice: "Adrian? Kewell!"

Then, she rushed up to Adrian with a swish, and grabbed him with bright eyes: "Are you Adrian? Mr. Kewell?! The miracle director of Hollywood! I am so happy to meet you! Too Happy!"

Seeing the other party's excited appearance, Adrian was a little puzzled, but why did she look so familiar? Wait, she's not... she's not...

"You are...Richard? Mr. Hilton's daughter, aren't you?" After searching in his head for a long time, Adrian asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, yes, my father is Richard Hilton," the young girl grabbed his arm and shook it excitedly, "My name is Paris, Paris? Hilton!"

Although she quickly realized her gaffe, her face was blushing, and her brows were even more shy, but she still grabbed his arm and never let go.

It's really that rich prodigal girl. Adrian raised an eyebrow. However, how does she look like a prodigal girl now? She's just a little girl who gets carried away by her idol.

"Nice to meet you, Paris. I'm Adrian? Kewell, you can call me Adrian." After a while, Adrian finally pulled his arm out calmly. Then he looked at the man standing there with a face full of embarrassment, resentment and depression, "By the way, who is this?"

Paris immediately turned her head and asked dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say you knew Adrian, Rick?"

"Hmm... this..." The man named Rick faltered and couldn't speak.

"Hello, Rick, maybe we have met before, but I don't remember. I'm sorry, sometimes there are too many things, and people's memories will suddenly disappear." Adrian stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

The other party was obviously relieved, and reached out to shake him: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Adrian, I'm Rick? Solomon, my father is Robert? Solomon."

Robert? Solomon? It seems to be the former executive vice president of Warner Bros. He probably has seen it before, but... Adrian glanced at Paris, who was still looking upset, thinking of something? hilton. This Rick? Could Solomon be...
