King of Hollywood

PS: Tsk tsk, are you surprised to update now? Maybe there is another chapter today? Maybe not? I don't know lol

After "The Pianist", the miracle director Adrian once again became the focus of the entertainment circle, because after a reception, the reporters guarding the door photographed that he was also one of the miracle girls who won the Oscar queen throne Nicole Kidman, walked out arm in arm with him and returned to the hotel together.

It is conceivable how much sensation these photos would cause after they were published. I always thought that although the ambiguous relationship between the miracle girls and the miracle director was dressed up, there was basically no hard evidence to prove that they were dating. At best, the pictures of dining with Julia and Monica from a few years ago have become increasingly difficult to come by as Adrian has grown in power as a media mogul, despite his various Red carpet occasions like premieres are full of wonder girls, but that's really nothing.

But going back to the hotel together is different. The reporter did not mention that the hotel is very big, let alone that most of the Hollywood celebrities live in this hotel, so it goes without saying how readers will make up this information.

These are all gossip newspapers and websites like to hear and see. In the next few days, no matter where Adrian and Nicole go, they will be asked by reporters if they are dating, and some previous things will be turned out, such as Reasons for Cruise and Nicole's divorce, or... Adrian's relationship with Nicole and Naomi.

Everyone knows by now that Nicole and Naomi used to be classmates and are now best friends and girlfriends. And Naomi is also one of the Miracle Girls. The famous work "Mulholland Drive" was appointed by Adrian as the heroine, and she also starred with Nicole, which has a lot of meaning.

The newspapers are more scrupulous, even some gossip tabloids that are not afraid of anything, only half-covered and half-covered speculation. But it’s not so troublesome on the Internet. Some people almost refer to them by name. It’s very likely that the director of miracles often plays threesomes with these two miracle girls.

So even if Naomi did not appear in the reporter's field of vision that night. But they were quickly harassed by reporters, and when this inference spread to several other miracle girls who got along well, whether it was Sophie and Monica, or Gwyneth and Blanche in Los Angeles Special, also asked questions in this regard by the reporters.

Everyone is guessing. How many women did the Marvel director have affairs with? How did they play? Various discussions emerged one after another, and it seemed that it had turned into a carnival for the whole people. This can be regarded as a rebound after being suppressed for too long, and Adrian has been controlling it within his ability. The direction of public opinion about your scandals and gossip. But many times, the more you don't want people to know, the more people want to know.

So, when he rescued Nicole and went out with her in front of countless people and reporters, they got in the car and went back to the hotel together. It's like opening the floodgates.

"It's not like what you do." Natalie, who was scratching the food on the plate, said suddenly, because she looked very well-proportioned after Adrian asked her to improve her eating habits in the past few years.

"Huh?" Adrian, who was holding the red wine, raised his head in surprise.

"I think you were in a daze just now, because you were harassed by reporters these days?" She lowered her eyelids and said in a flat tone.

"I'm really touched," Adrian laughed. "It's great to hear you say that. You actually care about me, Nada."

He looked very happy, as if he didn't catch the faint sarcasm in the first sentence: "Don't worry. It's just a little trouble, although it's a bit unexpected, but this kind of thing is normal, isn't it?"

Then, Adrian pulled a chair around the small round table and sat next to her. She stretched out her fingers with great interest and lifted her chin to watch carefully. Then, it was lowered and stretched under the table, first on her lap, and then slid all the way up to the bottom of her skirt.

Natalie didn't fight back. He just took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "We're having dinner, Ed."

Adrian withdrew his hand with a chuckle. Then he said in a lazy tone: "Be happy, honey, I won't let them take pictures of you, at least not for these two years--tell me, are you ready?"

Natalie opened her mouth, and it took a while to realize, then her face changed slightly.

"Ready," she whispered, "anytime, but... I don't understand, Ed... what the hell are you... thinking."

"You're so smart, you should have guessed it, right?" Adrian laughed, "Didn't you already guess the purpose of my production of "The Pianist?"

After finishing speaking, he leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and then sat back to his original position: "Eat quickly, although you can't walk on the beach under the moonlight because of those annoying guys, but blow on the balcony The sea breeze is still good."

Natalie's hand holding the knife and fork tightened, not knowing whether it was because of his previous sentence or the next sentence, and then sighed softly: "Okay."

Adrian sees it but doesn't care. No matter how hard she struggles now, it is doomed to be futile, but the current situation makes him more concerned. The momentum caused by leaving with Nicole on his arm and returning to the hotel was indeed beyond his expectation. As I said before, this is like a dam that has been releasing water on a small scale and suddenly releases a large flood. It will definitely be very violent at first.

But the intensity is intense, but as time goes by and someone guides it, it will soon weaken to a certain level. However, it has been several days now, and the media are still very excited, and they are still digging deep. Some guys even listed a long list of female stars who may have slept with Adrian. Good guy, there are more than 100 That's it, take a closer look, the accuracy is still quite high, except for a few, basically all of them are above.

Of course, there were several that he hadn't been on, so what the media came up with was actually a list of suitable first-line female stars. Hmm...not a bad record, maybe I should call Charlize and Ivanka over one day and ask how many women I've slept with so far - including friendly matches.

But they are still sensible, and they didn't stretch out their paws to Lili and the others, otherwise he wouldn't be so leisurely and adapt to all changes.

What's going on, after thinking about it carefully and exchanging opinions with Ivanka and Claude, you will basically understand. It's nothing more than someone saw what might happen and wanted to stop it in this way. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, let’s talk about it, even if it’s just to create an excuse for them, and the media is not without enemies, and Adrian does not monopolize the media industry, so the two parties tacitly cooperate. There is the current situation.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't cross his bottom line, it's fine.

This is indeed a troublesome matter. If it gets too big, even if his private life is a personal matter, it will inevitably have some impact on his plan. Add many uncertain factors.

Fortunately. This situation is not irreversible, and Adrian has yet to do what he needs to do in Cannes. So he still boldly continued to flirt with Natalie, Lin Zhiling, Jessica, Sophie, and Monica in turn, but became more secretive. Of course, Nicole must be punished by the way. Under normal circumstances, they go separately to avoid this situation. Even though it was Adrian who took the initiative to go out with her this time, she would have to pay for such a big reaction, wouldn't she?

The end result is, well. Naomi became his personal stripper, and I have to say that their relationship is really good. When Adrian deliberately picked on Nicole, Naomi stepped forward and did a hot striptease . Although there is no corresponding equipment in the hotel room, she still dances very freely, especially when she is on the long table, her petite body is so hot and sexy that even Nicole can't match it, and I don't know how long she has been practicing.

Adrian stuffed dozens of dollars on her that night and got extra hyper. Then, after Nicole became her personal call girl "because of money and fame", and Naomi also became his personal stripper because she was "desperate and forced by life", they were a perfect match.

Let's not talk about that, although he always plans well. But there are always unexpected things.

"It's kind of a pure vow that we just want the movie to go back to how it started, and I still stand by that. I admit I wasn't good enough, but I've been trying. I don't let too much technology go Desecrate the sacred movie!" In the center of the hall, a man in his forties was spitting. One look at the defiant appearance, and you can tell that there is no one else except Lars von Trier.

"I agree that you don't need too much technology, but Russ, don't you think the gmA95 declaration is a bit too harsh? Such conditions make it difficult for many people to adapt." A woman in her fifties sitting next to her The interface said, her name is Camille Rose, a well-known critic in France.

"It may be difficult at first, but it will get better after you get used to it. This is a necessary process. Only after experiencing this will you have a new life." Tire waved his arms to increase his persuasiveness, and glanced sideways intentionally or unintentionally with.

"It really needs a process, just like when I made "Last Tango in Paris", it was always difficult at the beginning, and the adaptation process has different lengths for different people." An old man on the other side said, that is Bernard Do Bertolucci, "Of course, although I agree with the gmA95 manifesto, I still want to say that it is not easy to promote. It was not easy before, and it is even more difficult now, especially when Hollywood's over-commercialized films continue to erode with us."

"It's easy. I believe that as long as the director of Marvel takes the lead in doing this, Hollywood will not pose a threat." Till shouted immediately, and then looked at the person he had been glancing at before, "Are you right, Adrian? Do you agree with me? Adrian?"

He called twice, and Adrian, who had been lazy all this time, came back to his senses: "Well, what's the matter?"

Before the words came out, the three people I talked to before and some other critics, film critics, and ordinary people and reporters who were listening around me all frowned or were surprised. This kind of absent-minded attitude is not like Adrian's. style. This is a somewhat academic salon. Whenever the Cannes Film Festival is late, the organizers will come forward to organize it. Many celebrities in the film industry will participate and speak their minds at the salon. In addition, ordinary participants and reporters, There are about a few hundred people, so it can be said to be a fairly formal occasion.

Adrian participated once before, and he didn't express too many constructive opinions, but it is definitely not like the expression of "I've been distracted, I haven't listened" written all over his face now. And he has always shown good upbringing in public. Even though many people don't like him, he has hardly accused him of this, so so many people are so surprised.

"We're talking about Hollywood. Obviously, they're polluting European movies. What do you think?" Thiel asked bluntly. It seemed a little aggressive.

"No, I have no opinion," Adrian shrugged, as if perfunctory, "You've said it thoroughly. Haven't you?"

"That's right. But what I'm asking now is your opinion. As a well-known Hollywood director and producer, what do you think about this situation, and what changes should be made." Tyre was persistent.

Rose frowned beside him. She felt that Tyre was going too far, so she interjected, "Maybe Adrian..."

"No no no Camille, it's important, I think he's the only one in Hollywood who should come to Europe and make movies. Although he's always directing boring movies now, Lord of the Rings, Brokeback Mountain, and The Pianist now or something, but I still think so." Till cut her off, smiling smugly.

"And what about "The Pianist" now?" Adrian repeated these words with a playful expression, "Why, you want to say that you sympathize with the Nazis?"

He asked in a joking tone, as if he was looking for a step for himself, but the guy immediately nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "That's right."

Rose next to him turned pale. Bertolucci also became very uncomfortable, and the others were even more shocked, sympathizing with the Nazis? What a joke! Even Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"What Russ wants to say is that Adrian should shoulder the responsibility of society." Rose helped to remedy it, but fortunately, Tyr did not continue. Instead, he nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, social responsibility."

"Social responsibility?" Adrian repeated, playfulness turning into sarcasm.

"Of course, human nature. Ugliness, hypocrisy, and violence must be shown..." Tyre started waving his arms again. But then I was overwhelmed by Adrian's voice: "Last year, I donated a total of about 50 million US dollars for charity, half of which was used to improve people's living environment, and one third supported environmental protection. One third goes to help ex-cons who are doing well find jobs!"

The sudden harsh words stunned everyone, and Adrian stood up and looked down at Tyre: "I have two charitable funds in Africa, and one is working hard to help local hungry children. One is working hard to provide them with basic medicines. I also invested in a hospital to find ways to research cheaper medicines that can be used by even the poorest people! If you add the donations over the years, you can’t even think of it. It doesn't matter how many people benefit from it!"

His voice suddenly became higher and impassioned, making the blushing Tyre unable to refute.

"Yes, I am rich, yes, I am extravagant, but I know what the world needs better than you! All the benefits related to movies are mostly used for this, and these accounts are clear! Even Before coming to Cannes, I talked with Buffett and Gates on the phone, and we even wanted to launch an initiative, hoping that the world's rich will donate half of their property during their lifetime or after death!"

He swung his arm fiercely in the air, his tone was so firm and forceful, and his expression was so stern that it was impossible to look directly at him.

"I have personally loaded and unloaded food sent to Africa, I have personally visited the laboratory to see the development of drugs, I have talked face-to-face with troubled teenagers - just in the suburbs of Los Angeles, those young people who receive psychological treatment are still children! They Just because of mistakes that are not their own, they have the right to start over, and we have the obligation to let them face their true selves! Yes, I am not Almighty God, I can’t save everyone, it’s still the same treatment center , a kid from San Francisco couldn't face his sexuality and killed himself, and a girl who ended up working as a prostitute in Las Vegas stole and ran away.

but! same! A black boy from Los Angeles, who played basketball very well, was imprisoned for taking drugs, but now he is fighting for the chance to join the Lakers with his own efforts! Also, a girl from Texas with a bad past is now one of the best civil rights lawyers in Arlington! A crew from Universal was sued by her for breaking the rules when they were on location there. I was pissed but also happy because she knew what she was doing! I will not turn a blind eye or compromise on certain issues just because I have helped her! "

His voice was getting louder and louder, reverberating in the room with an indomitable and irrefutable momentum, which stunned everyone, including Tyre, for a moment.

Then, Adrian finally paused, leaned down slightly, and looked at Tyre with the mocking expression before: "Social responsibility?"

Although it was just such a sentence, everyone knew the meaning of the sentence that did not go on: what qualifications do you have to talk about social responsibility in front of me? !

Till's face was flushed, and he seemed a little annoyed, and Rose and Bertolucci's faces were not very good-looking. Even if Till made such disrespectful remarks just now, he is still a European director. Even if he is very reckless, there is no need for such a shameless accusation, right? And it affects everyone.

But Adrian didn't give them a chance to speak.

"I know what you guys were discussing at the beginning." He straightened up and glanced at the hall, changing into a high-ranking look, "I've been listening, if you really want to hear my opinion, I'll tell you now, European cinema is dead!"
