King of Hollywood

Chapter 222 Clarify, or confuse

"I have to apologize about this. I was too excited at the time, so I didn't notice the existence of the paparazzi. I'm sorry." Adrian said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the scenery outside through the window while holding the cordless phone. He looked as if the person on the other end of the phone was standing in front of him.

"Okay, Julie, don't argue about this, let's decide how to deal with this matter first." Adrian continued, "It doesn't matter, it's up to you to announce it or hide it, and I will not object to your decision."

After waiting for about two minutes, Adrian sighed: "You really decided, Julie? Is it really up to me? I'm not polite? Well, I'll call you again in ten minutes , I want to discuss the specific method with the agent."

After putting away the phone, Adrian smiled, put it back in place and walked out of the study. No matter who it is, when faced with a choice, they will try their best to choose the one that is most beneficial to them, and this is often the time to test people's IQ and ability to analyze and judge, so who can say that the decision-making power is in his hands Isn't Julia smart?

Adrian soon came to a small living room. The agent Roger and the general manager of the film company Jeff Payne had been waiting for him here for a long time.

"Sorry, it's been a little long." He said and waved to the two people who stood up, "Sit down and talk."

"So?" Roger gestured.

"It's up to me," Adrian said with a smile, "tell the media like this, Julie and I are just friends, but we are closer than ordinary friends. It can be said to be a little ambiguous, but it must not be true. As for the What happened, I have already explained it just now, so I won’t repeat it. However, it should be noted that I must mention the fact that I invited her to star in the new movie and the previous preview. And a Funeral" to do a good pre-publicity."

"Four Weddings and a Funeral" is different from "Schindler's List". The latter is far more important and connoted than the former, so it needs more careful publicity before it is released at the end of the year. After all, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" is only a work of equal cost, and it is a romantic comedy love story, so it is very appropriate to release it before the end of the summer vacation. However, although Neville promised that it will be completed soon, the publicity may be a little tight, so Adrian thought it was possible to borrow the current opportunity.

The two who listened intently nodded, and then discussed in a low voice. After a few minutes, Roger raised his head first: "I know what to do, Ed, and I will arrange everything as soon as possible. Of course, if you have If you need to add something or make a decision, please let me know first."

"No problem." Adrian smiled and looked at Jeff Payne.

"I don't have too many problems. It's just that the publicity work may last for a while, so..." Payne said with a gesture, looking at Adrian without blinking.

"It doesn't matter, since I have made such a decision, I will naturally accept the consequences." Adrian waved his hand, then sighed in his heart. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this, anyway, it was not unheard of to use gossip to hype up movies, and besides, he could test Julia's mind. It's just that, although it can basically be regarded as an upstart in Hollywood from any aspect, it still has less power to speak in the media than those senior people. If it were Redstone or Murdoch, they would definitely not There are so many entertainment media coming to join in the fun.

Sighing and sighing, Adrian didn't fully take it to heart, because he firmly believed that he would reach that height sooner or later. As for things like this now, do directors get more coverage or stars get more coverage?

Seeing that the boss didn't take it seriously, Roger and Payne naturally didn't need to worry too much. After discussing for a few minutes, Charlize knocked on the door and said, "Ed, your guest is here."

Adrian didn't answer, but just looked at the two people in front of him. Roger and Payne stood up together when they saw this: "If there is nothing else, we will leave first, Ed."

"That's how it is." Adrian also stood up, and after sending them out, he said to Charlize: "Please sit here for a while, I'll go back to the study and make a call, and I'll be right back."

"Understood." Charlize looked at him, there seemed to be a little disdain in her gray-green eyes, but it immediately changed into an expression of "how could you do this", because Adrian was not gentle on her perky buttocks I squeezed it hard.

Duplicity of the little lamb. Adrian shook his head and came to the study with a smile. After talking with Julia on the phone, he returned to the living room just now. Liv Tyler and her agent were already waiting there, and her mother did not come with her.

"Sorry, I didn't expect it to be so lively today." Adrian said with a smile.

"It's okay, my mother always said that something is unexpected." Liv said openly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her blue eyes wide open, with a breath of innocence, but she didn't know What lies beneath this innocence.

The reason why she is here is because Adrian met her at Dennis's party last night. As for why she and Dennis have never met but can attend the party, just think about where her agent works. up.

Now that we met, Adrian had to have a few words with Liv. He had already seen the upcoming mTV when he went to the record company. The director captured Liv's temperament very well and made her innocent temperament It was well shot.

Once it's released, Liv will be making her debut, so Adrian reckons it's time to prepare a movie for her. But what kind of movie to prepare needs to be carefully considered. After all, although she has starred in many movies, they are basically vase types, even if it is the epic masterpiece that made her famous all over the world. However, being a vase is not a bad thing, at least in Adrian's opinion, it's better for Liv to be a beautiful vase.

But the choice of movies is indeed very difficult. It is impossible to make "The End of the World" ahead of time, right? Michael Bay is still working on his first movie, and Liv is a little too young.

However, Adrian, who has a memory bank, spent half the night finding a suitable script, and at the same time, this script could help him a lot. Of course, he had to have a good chat with Liv before that. Although he didn't have much contact with her, the girl always gave him a feeling that she didn't care about anything. He wanted to know what kind of character she had. Only after fully understanding a woman can we approach her better.

"I believe your manager, Ms. Toli, has already told you something in general," Adrian pointed to the five-year-old woman beside her, "Then, let's talk about the specifics now."

"Okay." Liv nodded and kept smiling, just looking into Adrian's eyes with a trace of curiosity.

Realizing this, Adrian raised his eyebrows, and then said nonchalantly: "About..."

===================================

As the two parties made statements through their agents, the scandal began to slide in an unpredictable direction. The statements of the two are basically the same, there is almost no difference, and the time of the table is also almost the same, which shows that they have colluded with each other to make a statement.

But it is precisely because of this that it makes people even more suspicious. If it is really just a date with ordinary friends as they said, why use such a method that will obviously be seen as a problem to make a statement? Why can't one be clocked first, and then the other be clocked every few hours?

And the statements of the two are also very interesting. Although they only admit that this is a date of ordinary friends, they both said that the other party is an attractive woman (man), and hinted that they might try to date. This hint is very subtle, except for those reporters who have been dealing with gossip for many years, almost no one has seen it.

This is even more strange, no matter if there is really no further relationship, or if they are really dating, they should get rid of it at the first time, but now the two of them use such a method to express their ambiguity. statement... What the hell is this?

After much deliberation, the reporters couldn't think of a reason. The most likely answer is that Adrian and Julia are indeed dating, and they want to confuse the water to cover up this fact. But in this case, the method is too clumsy, right?

Just when they were puzzled, another statement was sent to them. Oh, it can’t be called a statement, it should be an explanation. It explained in detail what happened that night. For example, after the preview of the new movie, the appointment was to discuss the role of the new movie. At the same time, Adrian was also mentioned. At the beginning, in order to invite Julia to star in "Four Weddings and a Funeral", people specially modified the plot and so on.

The most notable thing is that Adrian strongly accused the reporter who sneaked in the camera to distort the facts and deliberately changed the angle to shoot, so that it looked like he was kissing. This is tantamount to admitting that he kissed Julia in disguise— —even if the kiss is on the cheek.

If you only look at the front, it will make people think that he actually wants to use this opportunity to hype a new movie, but seeing the back makes people confused again. What exactly do they want to express?

Faced with this situation, the happiest ones are of course the tabloid reporters, who almost write whatever they want, boldly assuming and carefully verifying, the words "maybe" and "maybe" are like gold medals for avoiding death. Especially the "Mattwell Weekly" that broke the news at the time, it made a chapter on it all day long, saying that Adrian and Julia are indeed dating, saying that they are not dating, and saying that it is for the new movie Hype blah blah blah. Sometimes three different languages ​​are published in one page at the same time, which is really ironic.

They can do this, but the entertainment reporters of the mainstream media cannot do this. Although they are also entertainment reporters, they are more formalized after all—even if they are only a little formalized—they still cannot do things like chasing rumors. So they have a headache, when will such a scandal become a headache for them?
