King of Hollywood

This guy... Did he do it on purpose or did he really not know what he meant? Looking at Tom Cruise who looked determined, as if he was saying that it was so settled, Adrian suddenly felt a sense of irony.

"I still think Cate Blanchett is the most suitable." He added something meaningful.

"Have you watched Renee's performance, Ed? I guarantee you will like it. Although she is not a particularly beautiful girl, she is quite temperamental. I have been looking forward to working with her." Cruise said happily , still with that superior look, and then he laughed and waved his hands: "Come on, there's nothing to argue about."

"Really?" Adrian replied calmly, but sneered in his heart. It seems that after accommodating for too long, some people not only forget who they are but also who they are.

Speaking of which, he insisted on using Renee Zellweger so much, maybe it was because she was the one next door that night? Adrian thought maliciously, and then changed the subject: "Do you have any opinions on production, Tommy?"

"We cooperated very well last time, why not continue." Tom Cruise replied as expected, even though his agent kept winking beside him, he didn't realize anything.

"I understand," Adrian nodded, then stood up, "That's it, I'm leaving."

"Farewell? You just came." Cruise looked at him inexplicably.

"I just thought of something else, I'm sorry." Adrian said perfunctorily, and then called Charlize and the person in charge of Bosworth Films to leave. Of course, the basic etiquette was still maintained.

After all, Cruise is not a fool, so how could he fail to see Adrian's attitude, but he didn't think about why at all, and naturally there would be no remedial measures, but he frowned very unhappy, probably in his heart He snorted heavily, and finally shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, so be it."

He had no intention of keeping him at all, and once again ignored the manager who gave him winks.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say any more, Adrian walked out first, and then inadvertently glanced back when he reached the door, the figure hiding on the stairs since they entered the room was fleeting.

"Is there something that Director Miracle can't handle?" On the way back, Charlize couldn't help teasing Adrian, with a half-smile, as if he was happy to see him deflated.

"You really think I can't handle him?" Adrian looked at her playfully, and asked half-truthfully.

Charlize's answer was to shrug his shoulders, and then sighed: "I finally understand why you don't like him. They are all named Tom, but there is such a big difference in how people behave. It's really interesting."

At this point, her eyes flickered when she looked at him: "You are very happy to see such a situation, aren't you?"

"Excessive arrogance blinded his eyes and made him unable to see the situation clearly. He always thought that the world was going to revolve around him." Adrian did not answer her question, "He will not be the first, nor will he be the first one. the last one."

Everyone or every successful person has an arrogant side. When you are already a leader in a certain industry, when you look back at those people behind you who are still working hard, you will naturally have a sense of superiority. No one can make an exception, even Adrian. It’s just that Adrian knows how to control. In addition to being a very calm person, it’s also because he knows better than others how his success came about. Although he seems to have no scruples in many things, but in I was very careful before doing it, and I couldn't clearly understand the reasons for my success. Even if I stood at the top, I would fall down quickly.

Tom Cruise is the best example. Although he works hard and has some ability, he lacks a little bit in dealing with people. Fortunately, he is the most popular star at present. The huge commercial value makes the film company have to cater to him. If he had been an ordinary person, he would have been pushed out to the point of disappearing. So after the commercial value is squeezed out, it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the wall is overthrown by everyone - if memory is correct, it should be ten years later.

You really think this movie wouldn't be made without you, Tom? Adrian sneered again in his heart. Now that Cruise has forgotten the real rule that characters make actors, he doesn't mind teaching him a lesson.

I will share the copyright of "Mission: Impossible" with you, but it's just for you to taste the sweetness. Adrian thought of the figure he had avoided seeing again. If there was a bit of a bad feeling about facing Cruise before-although it was rare-it has completely dissipated now, which is why Charlize said "you would love to see this situation". Most of the things about her—whether in business or in life—she knows.

Although I have basically decided to give up Cruise, there are many suitable actors, not to mention Pete, Spacey, Reeves, Rui Fan and Dennis are very good, it is no problem to replace Cruise, and they are very good. Command, but I have to admit that Cruise has a pretty good agent.

"I had a detailed talk with Tommy several times, and I watched the movie "Speed" carefully. Miss Blanchett is really suitable, but... the character is a little taller, but I don't think that's a problem , Right, Mr. Adrian?" The little woman called early the next morning, without saying a word about yesterday's unhappiness, repeatedly emphasizing Cruise's willingness to cooperate, and her tone was quite sincere, and she thought about it Not an excuse for an excuse.

But then again, that might have been one of the reasons for Cruise's refusal, just consider his pathetic 5-foot-7 height, and then think of Blanchett's 5-foot-9 and Zellweger's 5-foot-9. Feet and 5 inches, it is self-evident which one he will choose. Don't think this is a joke, as far as Adrian knows, Cruise bought 5 million box office out of his own pocket on the day "Mission: Impossible" was released, in order to make his movie the number one box office on the weekend, so he will It is not surprising to have such a move, besides, there is still that uncertain guess.

Adrian originally wanted to refuse, but the other party was very attentive, always seized the opportunity to express his kindness, and was quite good at talking without being offensive or annoying. Even Cruise also took the initiative to fight under his persuasion. I made a few phone calls, and although they were basically chatting, they expressed their apologies in a forced and cryptic way.

In any case, neither of them has completely torn their faces, and Adrian admires Pat Kingsley—Crowse's manager—and the team behind her. Cruise may be a bit stupid, but the agent PR team behind him is pretty good, and it would be nice to pull under his banner if he can. Although Adrian's agency company also has several excellent teams, the more talents the better, isn't it?

"Well, your sincerity has touched me, Pat, and I will tell Laverne to have further cooperation as soon as possible." After a few days, Adrian finally let go, and revealed on the phone unabashedly Appreciate the meaning.

"Thank you, Mr. Adrian, I believe you and Tommy will still have a good time working together." Kingsley answered gracefully, as if she didn't understand the meaning of "I let go because of your ability".

Adrian was not in a hurry, shrugged, put down the phone and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile: "Sorry, I'm going to break my promise again."

"You still decided to let Tom Cruise play the male lead?" Blanchett, who was lying on the sofa, asked in a lazy tone. She was wearing a round neck T-shirt and shorts, and her slender legs were leaning on the sofa together. On his back, he held up the magazine and looked at it to himself.

"Yes, he has an agent who is good at winning, so it's best to let him play the role after careful consideration." Adrian shrugged, then sat up and pushed aside the magazines in front of him, leaning over to look at her, "Of course, if you really don't want to cooperate with him, then I'll call them immediately and tell them to change. It's not a big problem."

"Really?" Blanchett raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.

"Really, as long as you want." Adrian then reached out and pinched her chin, bowing his head to kiss her.

"Let's forget it, I don't want to be your scapegoat." Blanchett let it go calmly, with a little complacency in her eyes but more complicated things that can't be said, trying to break free but Can't break free again.

"It really hurts me to say that, Kate." Adrian sighed exaggeratedly, with a frowning expression as if to say, "I've already held you in the palm of my hand, what more do you want?"

Even though he knew that half of this was faked, Blanchett still had a smile on his lips. Of course, he still couldn't admit defeat: "I look like a sinner, but I actually made you so sad."

There was a bit of mockery in his tone, then he got up and went to the refrigerator with good legs, opened it and bent down to take a bottle of pure water. During the whole process, she always had that kind of lazy feeling, coupled with the fact that she wore less clothes, she was sexy and charming.

"Well, as an apology, how about I invite you to watch Phyllis Troupe's "King Lear" at the Music Center?" Adrian said as he took out two tickets from his pocket and shook them, "Their show It’s very out of the way, and today is the first show in Los Angeles, why don’t you go and see it together? See if their standard is as high as yours.”

"I don't need to have acted in "King Lear." Blanchett said noncommittally while drinking water. Even so, her eyes lit up. The Shakespeare plays of the Phyllis Theater Company have always had a first-rate reputation. They don’t stick to the original works but maintain the British classical flavor. They are welcomed by many people. Many Hollywood stars will go to this theater company when they are studying stage plays, so Tickets are often hard to come by, let alone a first show.

Of course, for a big man like Adrian, it is very easy to get two tickets for a box, but it is still very touching to come here and ask her out with the tickets.

But after hesitating for a moment, Blanchett still declined his invitation: "Sorry, Ed, I don't want to go anywhere."

"Don't want to go anywhere? Did something happen?" Adrian immediately asked in a concerned tone.

"It's nothing, it's probably because the weather is hot and I don't want to go out." Blanchett shrugged. This is obviously an excuse. Although the temperature in Los Angeles is a bit high in summer, it is generally cooler at night. Besides, the music center also has air conditioning .

Blanchett seemed to be aware of this, and immediately turned her head to talk to someone else. Adrian chuckled in his heart, stopped talking and just kept looking at her with his eyes. Anyway, this cool dress is still very eye-catching.

Immediately, he realized a very interesting thing, no matter Kate, Blanchett or Zeta Jones, their full names are Catherine, especially Blanchett and Zeta Jones, the spelling and pronunciation are exactly the same, although Kate It's the beginning of K, but the pronunciation is somewhat similar, but in fact there is not much difference. If the three women are around, call Kate, there will definitely be three pairs of eyes on yourself.

It looks like I've got some of Hollywood's most recognizable Kates in my bag. Adrian was a little amused and thought proudly at the same time, isn't that the fun of collecting? Of course, he had already forgotten and blocked Fei Wen.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Blanchett's voice sounded at this moment.

Noticing the puzzled and annoyed eyes of the other party, Adrian immediately came back to his senses: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of work, and I suddenly got inspiration, so I was distracted."

"Really?" Blanchett's eyes were full of disbelief.

This is why it is said that when dating a woman, never think about another woman. They are more emotional than rational, and their intuition is more sensitive than any radar in this regard.

But sometimes doing this is not entirely a bad thing, such as——

"By the way, I've changed my mind," Blanchett said suddenly, "Anyway, it's impossible to return your ticket, so I'll accompany you to check it out."

Adrian's smile suddenly became much stronger, and he didn't remind her that the word "accompany" was pronounced too strongly: "Then, let's change clothes, let's go out for a stroll first, and just go over after dinner."

As he spoke, he leaned over and pinched Blanchett's chin, and kissed her light-colored lips. Blanchett didn't dodge this time, but lingered with him for a while before going to the inner room to change clothes. .

Women are like this, they have to coax them and make them have a sense of crisis and a desire to compete, so that they will stay obediently by his side. Of course, doing this requires both skill and strength, and Adrian has both, so as long as they can't make up their minds to leave him one day, they will be firmly in his hands one day, even if it is...

"It's very interesting, but do you really think I'm suitable?" Zeta Jones asked with a smile after flipping through the script in his hand.

"Of course, most British women have a more classical temperament, it's just a question of how much, and you are no exception." Sitting on a chair in the office, Adrian hugged her from behind and leaned to the back of his neck Chu took a deep breath, "Yes, Chanel No. 5, very tasteful. But this perfume is more suitable for formal occasions, and Chanel Coco is more suitable for you in private."

"I didn't know you still had research on perfume." Zeta Jones was slightly surprised.

"There are still many things you don't know." Adrian gently stroked her belly without a trace of fat, "For example, although your classical temperament is not as good as those of those British actresses, you have a different kind of charming and sexy, and this The glamorous Spanish princess is both aristocratic and full of wildness, not that kind of delicate lady, I really can't think of a more suitable role for you."

"Really?" Zeta-Jones looked at him noncommittally, and then gently shook his hips sitting on his lap.

"Of course, I will do what I said. Although you only have a part of the script in your hand, it can be completed in a week at most, and then the preparations will start. I will invite an Oscar winner to play a supporting role to help you out." Adrian said Start to move up with your right hand, and then gently knead it. It doesn't feel very good through the clothes, but it doesn't feel irritating.

"Then all I have to do now is wait." Zeta Jones' eyes were filled with moisture, making her look even more charming, her body swayed rhythmically with Adrian's hand, and her mouth was slightly opened as if she was breathing.

"You don't want to be here, Ed?" she asked in a low, seductive voice.

"It's just that your clothes are too tempting, so you're a little out of control." Adrian's tone was filled with admiration.

Zeta Jones giggled, concealing her complacency very well. She deliberately wore a white shirt and black coat similar to an OL outfit. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. The possessiveness revealed in Adrian's eyes is not fake of.

"Then I'll go back first, and remember to call me at night." Zeta Jones said and stood up. At the same time, she straightened her clothes and gave Adrian a wink before leaving. She still understood the reason for playing hard to get.

"Of course." Adrian smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Coming out of Adrian's office, Zeta Jones let out a long breath of excitement and pride, and then met the eyes of Charlize who was oncoming. Smiling and nodding politely, it was her greeting. Although Charlize also nodded in response, her expression seemed a little cold.

Zeta Jones couldn't help snorting softly in her heart. She bet that this beautiful female secretary never escaped Adrian's grasp, so what right did she have to put on a show in front of her? However, Zeta Jones quickly adjusted his emotions, shrugged indifferently after hearing the sound of closing the door behind him, and then took the elevator to the parking lot.

Sitting in the new red Porsche car, Zeta Jones couldn't help but praise Adrian's generosity in his heart. She didn't want this gift at first, and she knew what kind of gift she could accept, but handing over the key Adrian, who got it into her hands, said, if you don't accept it, then I have to dismantle it and send it to the waste recycling plant.

"You have to know, Kate, for men, fragrant cars and beauties are always associated. This is the model I have carefully selected for a long time." Adrian said very seriously.

It could be seen that if she really refused, this expensive Porsche would definitely be finished. To be honest, she did like this car, so Zeta Jones finally accepted it. \u003c/p\u003e
