King of Hollywood

Chapter 75: Price

Nicole Kidman is that kind of very powerful woman. Although Adrian didn't have much contact with her, it can be confirmed from the combination of memories, so she broke with the controlling Tom Cruise. It's a matter of time.

If you want to conquer a strong woman, you must be stronger than her and overwhelm her in all directions. Equality between men and women has always been a matter of talk, and it is just a good wish for husband and wife to respect each other as guests. It is an unavoidable fact that one party must be more tolerant when living together. The patrilineal society has lasted far longer than the matrilineal society, and it has continued to this day. Even if feminism rises again, it will not be able to change the reality for a while.

Therefore, the family life of strong women is not very harmonious, because the status of the husband in the family must be very low, and most men can bear it temporarily but cannot endure it forever, not to mention that women subconsciously long to be conquered.

When a woman becomes more and more powerful and keeps closing the gap with men, but no one is willing to tolerate it, then conflicts are inevitable. But Adrian didn't have such worries, not to mention the future, even now, there are only a handful of women who can be stronger than him, and there are many women around him who are shrewd or have personality, but they all either grit their teeth or give up half-heartedly. If she wants to stay by his side, then what capital does Nicole have to be tough in front of him now?

Therefore, under Adrian's cold stare, Nicole quickly stepped down, and the previous rage no longer existed, she huddled together and showed a weak expression, her blue eyes flickered, which seemed to be full of panic and grievance, shivering Like a frightened little rabbit, he said in a begging tone, "Please..."

I don't know how long this confrontation lasted, and Adrian, who was staring at her, finally let go of his hand and stepped aside.

"Sorry." He said in a low voice without making any further movements. He knew very well that most of Nicole's anger just now was not aimed at him, but was only ignited because of him.

After he let go, Nicole, who hugged her arms to her chest, stayed for a long time before she finally understood. She breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her clothes, looked at Adrian with complicated eyes, and then walked to the corridor. , but stopped within two steps, hesitated for a while before turning his head and whispering: "Sorry."

He left in a hurry without looking back.

After watching her back disappear, Adrian let out a sigh of relief. Although what he said just now was angry, Nicole might not be able to resist if she really did this, but it might become very bad in the future. The reason why he has been able to get to the present smoothly and grow to today's scale within a few years is that, in addition to the advantages of foresight and having a buddy who is equally talented and can complement him, there is also excellent self-control.

Just like the sentence he often hangs on his lips: Greed is good, as long as you know how to control it. Don't ignore long-term things because of immediate benefits, otherwise even if you get it, you may lose it, so he is calm and knows what he should do when he is calm. It is the same at the Paramount reception, and it is the same now.

It won't be long. Adrian said to himself after coming down from upstairs. After staying for a few more minutes, he then walked towards the door. I'm afraid Cruise will stay here for a long time, so it's better for him to leave first, so as not to make Nicole feel embarrassed. Anyway, there is nothing wrong here .

At this moment, a warm body suddenly bumped into him from the side, and then an apologetic voice sounded beside his ears: "Oh, I'm so sorry, sir, I didn't mean it."

Not intentional? Adrian chuckled in his heart, this method is too old-fashioned. As his fame became more and more famous, many women came to strike up a conversation with him in this way.

"It's okay..." Even so, Adrian replied with a smile on his face, and when he saw the other party clearly, his eyes lit up, "...Miss Catherine."

"Do you still remember me?" Catherine Zeta-Jones immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Of course, I won't forget any beautiful woman who impressed me." Adrian raised his eyebrows. Not only did this action not make him appear frivolous, but it made his words more convincing. See you here."

"Oh, this is the best compliment I've ever heard, you are always so talkative, Mr. Adrian." Zeta Jones laughed, his eyes bent into crescent moons, and seemed to be very pleased, "I didn't expect that either, Life is always full of chance."

"Ed, please call me Ed," Adrian looked at her. "We only met once at Cindy's party, but we always had a good chat, so it shouldn't be so strange, right?"

"You called me Miss first, didn't you?" Zeta Jones smiled slyly.

"That's true," Adrian shrugged, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Why don't you go over and have a drink."

The two came to the bar immediately, ordered two glasses of wine and began to chat, especially speculative under the condition that they were interested in each other.

"...Then I ran into a street light because the car was too fast. Just like that, those tabloid reporters in the UK are still holding up their cameras and taking pictures, so they don't care about your life or death." Zeta Jones said It looks rather angry here.

"It's too bad," Adrian nodded. "It's a good thing you're fine, but you should sue them."

I have to admit that this woman's mind is quite flexible. She realized something after the sentence "Do you still remember me", and then adjusted her mood and topic, but it happened to be very smooth and natural, almost invisible, no wonder she could With such means, it's a pity that she has met herself now.

"Of course I won't forget to do this, but even though I won the case, I didn't want to stay in the UK anymore, so I went to Hollywood." At this point, she shook the cup in her hand, then raised it to her lips and took a sip mouth, leaving a light lip print on the mouth of the cup, elegant and charming.

"But it's not that easy here. Everything has to be done from scratch. It's hard to say which decision is better." Zeta Jones sighed a little self-deprecatingly, and changed his posture in front of him and raised his legs.

"Indeed, chance and luck are very important, and it depends on whether you can grasp it." Adrian suddenly changed his subject at this point, "Of course, there are many other factors besides this, such as your The March cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine, frankly, sucks, makeup artists and photographers should fuck off."

"Have you read that issue of "Entertainment Weekly"?" Zeta Jones once again showed a look of surprise, just like the previous "Do you remember me", it was indeed completely from the heart.

"Of course, I usually read a lot of information, such as entertainment, movies, etc. Everyone thinks that I am a genius, but how would they know how long I have worked so hard to achieve what I am today?" Adrian shrugged She shrugged her shoulders, and there was a flash of meaning in her eyes, "And as I said just now, I will never forget any beautiful woman who impressed me so much."

Zeta Jones turned his head away immediately, and brushed the silk around his ear with a smile on the corner of his mouth, with a coquettish look in embarrassment.

"Why do you say they are terrible?" She changed the subject, "There are still many people who think they are very good."

"First, the makeup is too heavy, which makes you look vulgar; second, the shape and clothing are a little awkward, and people's aesthetics are often affected by these details. So it looks beautiful, but it doesn't have its own characteristics. "Adrian said unceremoniously, "You are really beautiful and sexy, Kate, but you can definitely be more attractive, just need a very simple change. Take the cover of that issue of "Entertainment Weekly" In other words, add a little more freshness to the makeup, hang down the bundled black long hair from both sides or choose one side, and your beauty will be more refined and enchanting, showing your beauty Sexuality will also become more hazy, this kind of inseparable feeling is everyone's favorite."

"I don't know...you still have such accomplishments in this." Zeta Jones was surprised for the third time.

"If you see a lot, you will naturally have your own experience." Adrian spread his hands and stared at her without blinking. "To be honest, at least you are more beautiful now than the cover of that issue."

Tonight, Zeta Jones is wearing a low-cut dress with thin shoulders just below the knee, a long-sleeved coat on the upper body, and a pair of pointed high-heeled leather shoes on the feet. The black suit complements the beautiful appearance, and the slender The curves of her legs are almost perfect and the silk stockings on her calves are indeed very beautiful and very attractive.

The girl stopped talking, picked up the glass again and sipped lightly. After a while, she sighed with emotion: "I think there must be many beautiful women who have been taught by you. I am really lucky."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at Adrian with a smile. There was an inexplicable light in her eyes. One hand rubbed back and forth on her knee from time to time, and occasionally went back and forth on her calf. Gently ticking this up and down, it plucks people's heartstrings unconsciously.

Adrian, who saw it in his eyes, smiled slightly: "How about we go out for a walk now? There are too many people here, maybe you would like to listen to me talk about which is more important for women, makeup or lighting?"

There are a few cars scattered in the quiet parking lot. Although the number is a little small, they are either limited editions or top brands. You can tell what kind of parking lot this is. A tall street lamp stands at the exit and emits a soft The light makes the venue under the night look very harmonious - except for the northwest corner.

The silver-gray Bentley car parked there seems to be no different from other cars, but if you observe it for a little longer and carefully enough, you will find that the bridge car is always vibrating slightly. Under normal circumstances, the range is not very large, but it is fast and urgent. If you keep it like this for two or three minutes, there will be a big one-of course, because the performance of the car is good, and it is night, it is difficult to tell from the appearance.

I don't know how long it took, but finally, after a shock that was stronger than any previous one, the Bentley car finally regained its composure.

In the back seat, Zeta Jones was lying on the seat in a somewhat strange and awkward posture. From her long breathing, it could be heard that she was still immersed in the charm of the past, and the clothes that had not been completely removed were also gone. Already completely soaked, quite satisfied, she turned around and kissed tenderly with Adrian who was holding her from behind.

Fortunately, I drive a Bentley sedan today. Although the space in the back seat is not as large as an SUV, it is at least much better than a sports car, otherwise it would be really difficult to stretch out. But then again, Zeta Jones' figure is really soft, and it may be possible to challenge the small space of the sports car.

"You're really good, Ed." In the dim compartment, Zeta Jones finally spoke, soft and a little hoarse, and she could tell that she was intoxicated without looking at her expression.

"You too, baby, it's almost killing me." Adrian fondled her on her nipples.

"Really?" Zeta Jones smiled coquettishly and swayed the body held in his arms.

"Of course, from top to bottom, from inside to outside." Adrian's tone was filled with emotion and love.

"It's a pity that you are almost stumped." The woman then sighed softly.

How could Adrian fail to understand the meaning of the other party's words, but he obviously wanted to do it in one step.

"What if I want more, Kate?" he whispered in her ear.

"Want more?" Although the car was dark, Zeta-Jones' eyes were bright and clear.

"Yeah, after tasting the sweetness, I naturally want more, don't I?" Adrian kissed her earball.

"Your possessiveness is really strong, Ed." Zeta Jones joked noncommittally.

"Of course, a man's possessiveness is always very strong, especially a man like me." Adrian held her hands and began to increase the range of motion, sliding down the flat belly all the way.

"Four works with a box office of over 100 million in North America, a salary of 10,000 yuan, and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress!" After the woman groaned softly, he said in her ear.

It's very direct and rude. It's good to know some things well, but talking about them will be counterproductive. But Adrian is not worried that Zeta Jones will not agree. As a child born in a working family in the Welsh fishing port of Swansea, he has tasted the taste of fame in the UK, and has experienced a world of difference after going to Hollywood. That's why after meeting Cindy Crawford at the party, Adrian just chatted with her—if she didn't care about these things, why would she take this opportunity to seduce him?

To deal with such a sensitive woman, sometimes the most direct way can often achieve the best results.

With the faint light, Adrian could see the stunned and uncomfortable look in Zeta Jones' eyes, but there was no disgust in it, and she didn't do anything else, but her breathing became a lot faster.

You know, the current dollar is still quite valuable, and the production and profitability of movies are far less exaggerated than ten years later. Even Tom Cruise, who is in full swing now, only has three absolute leading roles and North American box office. billion works. It is conceivable how attractive four such works are to her, not to mention the status of the 10,000-dollar salary and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

If someone else said it, it might just make people laugh, but where is Adrian's achievements? His vision, talent and ability have been affirmed by many people. Otherwise, how could Zeta Jones be eager? To seduce him?

In just a few minutes, Zeta Jones made a decision, and her smile immediately became charming. She grabbed Adrian's hand that had slipped inside and pressed it deep, and said in a puzzled tone: "I want to, too." Ask for more."

Adrian chuckled suddenly, and then raised his gun again to fight. The Bentley sedan parked in the corner started to vibrate again after being quiet for a long time, accompanied by the groans of the woman who was blocked inside.

The release of "Mission: Impossible" started the competition for the movie summer vacation in 1995. After it was released in home theaters, it won 10,000 US dollars in North America, and it undoubtedly occupied the top box office list in North America. Cruise once again won the throne of popularity, and that handsome face once again became the object of screaming by female actresses.

Various media have also used the words of praise in this commercial production.

"Tense, exciting, each plot is cleverly designed, cannot be ignored, and is extremely watchable." - "New York Times"

"Mission: Impossible breaks new ground for the spy genre, and not every agent is as personable as James Bond and juggles women and enemies." - The Washington Post

Of course, there are also some fans of the TV series version who express dissatisfaction. They think it is a very bad idea to portray the original captain Jim as a bad guy. It's a pity that no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can't change the reality of the movie's popularity.

Although other major film companies couldn't help lamenting that they came again, they did not adjust their own film release plans. Although Bosworth Films had a big hit last year, after all, two of the films were co-produced with Fox and Warner Besides, they don't have many movies released during the summer vacation this year, so it's not difficult to find out about these plans.

But is that really the case?

"Are you ready, Crowe?" Adrian asked his buddy on the phone.

"I have always been prepared, as long as what you said will come true." Claude replied immediately.

As the end of June approaches, the plan prepared by Adrian has also entered the countdown. Although enough publicity has been done in the past few months, the main creators still have no idea, after all, they have been embarrassed for too long . As long as Adrian is full of confidence from beginning to end, and achieves the diametrically opposite ending without any major changes, then it will only be a problem in this world.

Therefore, in the absence of screenings, the first 3D animation film "Toy Story" was released in North American theaters at the end of June 1995, and it made a box office of 10,000 US dollars in North America in the following week, easily surpassing the previous one. "Mission: Impossible", which sat on the North American box office list, was squeezed out to replace it, and the media was in an uproar. \u003c/p\u003e
