King of Hollywood

Chapter 151 Reception

In the wide hall, well-dressed gentlemen and ladies sat around round tables, applauding the witty remarks of the man in the center of the stage from time to time. However, this middle-aged man is not the big steward of Hezong Kingdom, but the host of the most popular talk show on the TV station: Jon Stewart.

"...then the father went to the president of the World Bank and said: I can recommend a vice president for you; and the president replied: I have enough vice presidents; the father immediately said: But this boy is Bill Gates Ci's son-in-law, the president, immediately said: That's great, you see, many businesses in the world are negotiated like this." Despite Stuart's teasing, there was another round of laughter and applause, and the person being ridiculed smiled and shook his head and applauded.

Bill Gates is not the first person to be ridiculed by him. Before him, countless people have been commented by him with his mouth, and the Clintons have not escaped. Although many celebrities came to the scene, and there were live broadcasts on the TV station, the tone of the routine press conference was relaxed. It was also a routine program to choose someone to come up for a talk show, as long as it was not too much, you could bring it up.

But he must be the last person to be ridiculed by Stewart. After telling this joke, the routine talk show is over, and then the TV station also suspends the broadcast, and then it is time for free activities.

"Congratulations, Mr. President, although congratulations seem to be over now, but it is more solemn to say it in person than a phone call or a card, right?" He shook hands with Clinton and said in a serious and solemn tone.

"Thank you, Mr. Adrian, it's not too late at all." Clinton's face was flushed, and he looked proud.

He is indeed qualified to be proud. In addition to being the second president of the Democratic Party to be re-elected successfully after Roosevelt, his luck is also quite good. With the disintegration of the Red Empire and the end of the Cold War, people began to put more emphasis on their lives. Coupled with the keen awareness of the rise of the IT industry, they seized the opportunity to promote the construction of the information highway. The United States seems to have never It's not as easy as it is now, and all of this has become his credit, it's just...

Adrian glanced around quietly and covertly. He had noticed it when he was in the White House before, but unfortunately he couldn't see the famous White House intern.

"This is?" Clinton looked at the beautiful Taobao Women's Dress Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Coat mv Lang who was holding his arm at this time, and his eyes lit up.

"Let me introduce. This is Charlize Theron, my assistant secretary." Adrian immediately introduced.

Like him, Charlize is also wearing a black partly translucent wide-shouldered evening dress, with long gloves and some jewelry decorations, which looks mysterious but dignified at the same time.

The reason why she accompanied him to the reception is because... how should I put it, it is an honor to be able to attend the dinner at the White House, even if the dinner is not held at the White House—now they are in the Hilton Hotel on () Street , The interior of the White House is so big that it can't accommodate so many guests. If it is not arranged in a hotel, where should it be arranged? Is it possible to hold a BBQ on the grass? Although it is true that the president of the United States has done this.

But the question is, who is Adrian suitable for? In terms of fame and qualifications, Julia has basically re-emerged as the box office v king, and entering the Ten Thousand Club is just around the corner, and it is okay to attend the reception alone; but in terms of intimacy, Kate is not even v After giving birth, no one is closer than her and Adrian; but in terms of being considerate and obedient, Monica and Sarah are the best candidates.

Besides, even if the other V people are not suitable, they will inevitably be jealous. This is like who to spend an important festival with. If the choice is not good enough and not convincing, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary troubles—— It is the annoyance of too many people, but Adrian has always liked this kind of annoyance-but more importantly, the routine reception is broadcast live on TV. No matter who Adrian brings to attend, I am afraid that he will have to wait the next day Gossip headlines, this is the most troublesome, so after much deliberation, no one had to choose Charlize, there is nothing to say about bringing your own secretary assistant to attend, right?

"It seems that Mr. Adrian really deserves the title of a workaholic, and he always brings his secretary here." Clinton said half-jokingly, and then stretched out his hand to Charlize: "I'm glad you can Come to the reception, Miss Charlize, I hope all this will satisfy you. Frankly speaking, you are really very beautiful, like a pure white pearl."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. President." Charlize calmly returned his hand.

"Unfortunately, I disagree with you, Mr. President," Adrian came in with a smile, "pearls are not enough to describe Charlie's beauty. Call her 'South African Diamond'. By the way, she's from South Africa."

"Really? This is indeed a very appropriate adjective. Mr. Adrian is indeed an outstanding artist." Speaking of which, Clinton actually winked at him.

Adrian was a little stunned, but then he understood what he meant. Since Clinton knew his title as a workaholic, he naturally knew about those affairs. He wasn't a good man in the first place, and that White House intern was just one of many lovers, so he naturally felt a kind of sympathy for men that only belonged to men.

"Obviously, some things are not concealed enough. Fortunately, no one questioned me with evidence. Otherwise, I don't know how bad it will be if I deny it?" Adrian replied with a smile and gave him a meaning. With deep eyes, a trace of astonishment flashed across Clinton's face.

To be honest, the impeachment about him is completely unfounded, and it is one of the unspoken rules of politics that political interns provide services for some big figures. Of course, these are also under the guise of one-night sex. You know, Clinton was impeached for lying, not for being a White House intern. Which celebrity doesn't have many lovers? Bill Gates also has a so-called confidante.

But who let him violate the interests of some people? It couldn't be more normal to be designed like this. Just like what Claude said, the President of the United States is just a big butler, and it is not particularly difficult to get him to step down.

However, there are also supporters behind Clinton, such as IT companies that have benefited from the construction of the Information Highway Act, and the public's perception of him is also good, and all kinds of factors add up, so the impeachment case is ultimately Let it go. This is why Adrian gave Clinton a hint in such a cryptic manner, although he wouldn't be too sad even without his reminder, isn't it what he always likes to do to sell the other party's things well?

"I think Miss Charlize must be very capable, and Mr. Adrian will bring her with her." A voice came in from the side, and it was known without looking that it was Clinton's wife Hillary who was speaking.

She said with a smile on her face, and then glanced at her husband casually. A look of embarrassment flashed in Clinton's eyes, but he immediately adjusted it.

"Yeah, I often say to Charlie, I can't imagine what it would be like without her by my side, she is my best assistant," Adrian said, holding Charlize's hand on his arm and patting After clapping, he suddenly changed the subject: "Just like Mr. President, without your capable and virtuous helper, Mr. President would definitely have a lot of things to do."

"Who knows?" Hilary said with a smile, but from the pride in her eyes, it could be seen that her compliments to Adrian were very useful.

Clinton didn't say any more, and quickly left with his wife.

"Mr. President seems to be a bit henpecked." Looking at the departing Chief Executive of the United States, Charlize suddenly said this, and then looked at Adrian thoughtfully: "Your words should mean something. ?”

I have to say that she is really smart, especially after staying with Adrian for so long, she has somewhat cleared up some of his habits.

"It should be, Hillary is also a very powerful V person." Adrian avoided the latter question, said in a noncommittal tone, and then laughed when he thought of something: "You know, there is a very interesting joke about them .”

"Oh?"

"One day, the president and his wife went back to their hometown for vacation. The car they drove ran out of gas, so they went to a gas station to fill up. Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man who worked in this gas station turned out to be a college classmate of Hillary. The two of them had dated before, talked, laughed and sighed with each other, and then the president and his wife left the gas station. After walking for a long time, Clinton said with emotion, "Look, my dear, how important life's chances are" , if you married him back then, I don’t know what would happen now. Do you know how Hillary answered?”

"how to answer?"

"Hillary replied that if I had married him, he would be sitting in the White House and you would be serving the passing passengers at the gas station"

Charlize was stunned for several seconds before covering her mouth and giggling.

"That's too mean," she said with a smile. "Ms. Hillary V wouldn't say that, would she?"

"If it was here, she would definitely say that. In fact, she did play a big role in Clinton's entry into the White House." Adrian shook his head and said, "Hillary is an out-and-out strongman. "

"V Strongman..." Charlize murmured a few times thoughtfully in a low voice, and then suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, when did you give me the title 'South African Diamond'?"

"Just now, Mr. President felt very appropriate. Do you have any dissatisfaction?" Adrian asked half-jokingly, "Isn't South Africa rich in the best natural diamonds?"

Those Adrians just saw it. Since the "confession" that day, Charlize immediately returned to her previous appearance in front of him. She was calm, rational and passionate, always arranging everything quietly. Appropriate, including dates with v people. Speaking of it, the relationship between the two is also very subtle, similar to Kate, and she is also a relatively special existence, so even if Adrian's words are more for appeasement, I hope she can witness the birth of her own empire. The words are not false.

In this way, Charlize's positioning is a bit troublesome. Adrian really wants to let her stay by his side like this from beginning to end, but this is definitely impossible. Although Charlize has a side of a little V, But there is also an independent side. If it is completely erased, it will lose her characteristics, but now he seems to have an idea.

The reception continued, with a relaxed tone, no different from ordinary receptions, at most, it was somewhat similar to a campaign fundraising reception because of the political flavor. Adrian saw many familiar faces, such as Ahan Schwarzenegger, not surprising, thinking about his wife, and recalling his future, it is normal to appear here.

"Maybe I should invite you and some of the best action stars together to make a large-scale action movie." Adrian said in a joking tone after talking to him for a few words.

"That's great, I will definitely participate." Schwarzenegger also replied casually.

However, Adrian did not settle the matter while the iron was hot. He was joking, and Schwager was also joking. Besides, "The Expendables" is just an idea now, so it's enough to lay down such a foreshadowing first. But from the other two people, he got a slightly surprising news.

"You mean, you plan to actually start filming the prequel of "Star Wars", George?" Adrian asked in a suspicious tone that seemed unbelievable.

"Of course, do I look like a liar?" Lukes said feigned displeasure, and was hugged by Adrian.

"It should have been done a long time ago, do you know how long we've been waiting?" Adrian thumped his back so hard that Lucas rolled his eyes, and Spielberg laughed beside him.

"Okay, boy, if you continue like this, I will be crushed by you." Lucas complained after breaking free.

"You can't blame me. It's been years since you started now." Adrian said, "That's your fault."

"When will the filming start? How's the pre-production going? About when the story will start?" He asked quickly, like a star war fanatic

"Don't worry, it's just the beginning," Lucas said quickly, "it's about Darth Vader, that is, the story of Anakin Skywalker's youth, including how he was accepted as a disciple by Qui-Gon Jin Amidala v King fell in love, and how he fell into the dark side of the force, etc., I plan to make a trilogy as well." Lucas explained.

"So there are already suitable actors?" Adrian asked naturally.

"How is it possible, the others are okay, but the two protagonists are more troublesome, Anakin is okay, he is just a child in the first part, we have enough time to select, but Amidala v King is more troublesome "Lucas sighed at this point, "According to the setting, Amidala was still very young when she became King V. Although she was smart, she was not yet mature and independent. The paradoxical feeling of striving for independence and not being able to be completely independent for a while comes out, and she has to be young, which is not easy."

"Really?" Adrian held his chin in a pretentious manner and pondered for a moment, "Perhaps, I can recommend an actor to you."

"Oh?" Lucas, who wanted to say something else, gave a look of astonishment, and Spielberg, who was next to him without a mouth, gave a look of curiosity

"She is very young but she is also very good at acting. She has tried some of the roles you mentioned. She is experienced and quite smart." Adrian said with a smile, his eyes were shining, "But I am not completely sure. , After all, I just listened to your general description, maybe we can discuss it at another time?"

"No problem," Lucas said immediately, "Actually, I originally wanted to talk to you about the script, you are a gold medal screenwriter, and you provided Steven with a production like "Saving Private Ryan" story, maybe you can make the prequel trilogy a little bit fuller."

"Great, I'm happy to help." Adrian agreed without hesitation.

This conversation can be said to be an accident or not. He has long been calculating the start time of the prequel of "Star Wars", which is Natalie's famous work. Although with him, it is not difficult to make her famous, but it is difficult to reach the height of Star Wars V King in terms of popularity. Natalie's popularity in the United States is basically due to the prequel of "Star Wars". Don't underestimate it. The American craze for Lucas's space opera.

But "Star Wars" is Lucas's work after all, he has been eaten by this work for a lifetime, Adrian would not enter it anyway, did not expect to meet an opportunity here, I have to say that luck is too much All right. I believe that based on his relationship with Spielberg, as well as the reputation and contacts among Jews established through "Schindler's List", it will not be too difficult to help Natalie get this role.

Talked to Lukes and Spielberg for a few more words, and Adrian took Charlize to leave. Although Charlize didn't speak from the beginning to the end, Adrian believed that she had made a note of it, and she would be happy when she returned to Los Angeles. Started to arrange for myself.

Glancing at Charlize inadvertently, Adrian walked towards the far left corner, where he had one of his most important goals tonight.

Two middle-aged people of the same age who were only a few months apart were arguing there. Although they seemed to be in harmony, both of them were basically smiling and their voices were not high, but it seemed that they only had each other in their eyes. Judging from the expression, this debate is not simple, and there are many spectators standing around.

Both of them wear glasses, but the man on the left has a good manner. Although he is wearing a tie instead of a bow tie, he has a modest smile on his face. He is fierce in business. And the one on the right has a bushy head, but even on this occasion, he still refuses to shave off his beard, and wears a round neck that seems to have remained unchanged for thousands of years, his brows are furrowed as if he is ready to fight at any time.

That's right, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are two of the most influential figures in the IT industry. f
