King of Hollywood

The saying that a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief, is indeed justified. The reason why countless men and women flock to cheating lies in the stimulation that is full of taboos and may be broken and discovered at any time. Especially in the situation of Adrian and Nicole, it was more dangerous and more exciting, so Adrian, who was very satisfied, paid 5 times the "prostitution fee" afterwards, which was really a "huge" amount.

When he thought of Nicole's indifference as she tried her best to pretend to accept the 5-dollar bill, he felt quite proud. As long as this low-intensity method of provoking her anger but leaving her unable to vent her anger continued, Nicole Sooner or later, she will realize that complete obedience to herself is her only choice.

"You're turning like a complete jerk, Ed," Charlize said remindingly afterward.

"Don't worry, there won't be such a thing in the future." Adrian said so. He knew what his female secretary meant. After all, she was the one who knew best how many women he had had affairs with. Many dating arrangements had to go through Her hand, the meeting with Nicole and Cruise before and after this time is no exception.

To be frank, he didn't have too many ideas when he arranged this way at the beginning, he just wanted to meet the two of them and make fun of it, maybe Nicole would put on a good show, after all, after the divorce case against Bo in court, The two of them basically never appeared together in public. Asking Nicole to do that is basically a temporary idea. Of course, the effect is too good to be good. Unfortunately, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future. The divorce agreement will be signed soon, but it is just like Charlize reminded , it's better not to have too many things like this.

As for Cruise, anyway, the copyright of "Mission: Impossible" has been transferred to him at a low price. Is there any dissatisfaction? As for the future, Adrian doesn't care at all. Does anyone think Cruise can pose a threat to him now? Unless it is an enemy of life and death, there is no need to kill them all, and in Hollywood, a place where people can look up and down at any time, there are so many deep hatreds. If they are too arrogant, they will only push the neutral people into the opponent's arms. It illustrates this point very well.

In a sense, Adrian also understands Cruise. After all, he climbed from the bottom to where he is today by relying on his own efforts step by step-even though he doesn't know how to be a human being, and his character is not very good. But this has to be admitted - so it is normal to be blindly arrogant after becoming a superstar. If Adrian hadn't been a man in two lifetimes, had enough experience, and could always watch everything as a bystander to keep calm and rational, he might not be much better than Cruise.

There is really no need to care about him. You must know that in this place, if an actor becomes popular, there will be many people who praise him; Cruz would fall from the clouds even without Adrian- stupid to hear he and manager Kingsley have had a rough time with him lately and don't see how much this packing woman has done for him ——So you just need to stand on the sidelines. Besides, the copyright of "Mission: Impossible" has been sold to him. If you still lose in the fierce competition and can't turn around, then it has nothing to do with Adrian, right?

After dealing with these matters, Adrian said goodbye to his women one by one, especially the two mothers-to-be who had protruding bellies. Although they were not particularly emotional, they still had the anxiety unique to pregnant women.

"Don't worry, it's just New Zealand. I can come back anytime, and I promise to be by your side on the day you give birth." Adrian comforted Monica and Sophie, who were getting fatter.

Although he was not very happy, after all, Adrian would take time to chat with them no matter how much he had to do during this time, and they were used to it. But he is going to direct his own new movie, so Monica and Sophie can only let him go. Of course, they have to give a half-warning, you know, there are three women in the cast list who are related to him many.

In addition, the daughter also needs to settle down.

"Mom said New Zealand is so far away." Lily pouted and said unhappily, and the doll in her hand was pinched back and forth.

"Yes, in the southern hemisphere, the seasonal changes are different from ours. Do you know what seasonal changes are?" Adrian said softly.

"I know, it's just...it's winter here, and it's summer over there. Dad always likes to think of me as an idiot." The little guy became more and more unhappy.

"Okay, okay, my Lily is the smartest." Adrian touched her little head lovingly, "In short, remember to be obedient when I'm not at home, and you can listen to Ms. Wendell's words when mom is away. If Ms. Wendell is not here, you must listen to Aunt Charlie or Aunt Sarah, and in addition, you must also listen to Aunt Yukie."

As he spoke, he raised his head and smiled at Yukie who was standing beside him.

"Understood, you have to listen to a lot of people." Lily waved her hands "sighing", then thought of something and said: "Then can I go see you?"

"Of course, call me if you want, and I'll let someone arrange it." Adrian said and kissed her forehead.

"Then it's settled." The little guy was finally happy, and talked to her for a while, and after making her giggle, Adrian got up again and came to Yukie.

"This time I'm not at home for a relatively long time, as before, help Mrs. Galen a little bit." He said so reassuringly.

"I know." Yukie nodded, as well-behaved as always, and then asked: "Do you really don't need me to go to New Zealand?"

Looking at her with a serious face, Adrian couldn't help but sighed: "Although the film critics have mixed reviews for "The Grudge", it also allows you to basically become a quasi-first-line actress. You really don't want to Do you have your own house outside, Yukie?"

Unexpectedly, after saying this, Yuji Hui's face turned pale a lot, and she hurriedly asked: "I... Did I do something wrong? Or... did I make a mistake?"

"No, no, Yukie, you are doing very well," Adrian hurriedly raised his hand to comfort him, "No one can do better than you, I just want to know, do you have this plan and ……why."

"The Grudge" was released on the weekend three days ago. To be honest, for the first time in so many years, Adrian was not very sure. After all, the changes this time were too big. There is no Japanese version of "The Grudge" and Japanese The baptism of horror films is still Japanese actors as the heroines. Although they have the media in their hands, they have exhausted the gimmick of "distinctive oriental-style horror films", but it is hard to say what will happen in the end. .

Fortunately, luck is still on Adrian's side. Because it was in the off-season, he won 2,500 theaters, and then got a box office of about 25 million within three days on weekends, and an average of 10,000 US dollars per theater. As far as a horror film is released in the off-season, this achievement is quite good. It may not reach the height of the original version, but it is definitely profitable. You must know that the cost of this version is less than the original version.

American film critics' evaluations of this horror film are somewhat different. They think it is very innovative if they think it is good, and they think it is useless if they think it is bad.

"Would it make people scream by letting a woman crawl around on the ground in a strange position?" This is the opinion of "Variety Show".

"A good horror style. Compared with the bloody American horror film, this completely oriental horror film is more scary." This is the opinion of "Empire".

In Japan, where it was released at the same time, the media applauded overwhelmingly, from the content to the performance of the actors to the director. Afterwards, everyone thought it was very scary, and there were rumors in Sapporo that someone was scared to death while watching a movie.

It’s not surprising that they would do this. Although this is an American movie, from the basic structure of the story to the director and the heroine, they are all native Japanese. What’s more, the person who put forward the outline of the story is a well-known American miracle director. For the Japanese who have a Hollywood complex, this is another proof that Japanese culture has been recognized in Hollywood. It is definitely a very honorable thing and deserves a special mention.

As a result, Yukie has become the most famous actress in Japan. Various media have reported her development at length, such as her family, such as her previous private life, how she came to Tokyo with a dream, and how Because of encountering a miracle director by chance, she was encouraged to go to Hollywood to develop, and how after the ups and downs in Hollywood, she was appreciated by the miracle director and became the heroine of "The Grudge" and so on.

In short, she is as lyrical as possible, it is a living inspirational story, and countless beautiful words are added to her, which is almost promoted as the standard image of the contemporary "Yamato Nadeko". Of course, certain things were never mentioned, as if they didn't exist.

No matter how much Japan brags and the United States does not get recognition, Yukie will still be a second- and third-tier actor after all. Fortunately, Adrian’s method was used very successfully. At the beginning of the setting, the heroine was a Japanese child taken in by the Americans. She was born and raised in the United States and had an American boyfriend. American style——Yukie has put in a lot of hard work to achieve this.

Then I came to Japan as an exchange student because of my background. I wanted to see everything here, but I was always out of tune with the surrounding environment. From this, the story unfolded, and it became more harmonious and smooth. Then I added some small details of the Japanese who grew up in the United States and acted completely Westernized but were not recognized in Japan, which immediately attracted many ordinary Americans and literary critics.

Takashi Shimizu couldn't complete these details. Basically, the person in charge sent by the United States and the Japanese were in charge. With Adrian as the mediator, not only did they not have any conflicts, but they also matched the details with the whole movie very well. it is good. In this way, even if someone wants to secretly guide discrimination, there is no place to say it for the time being. In addition, although there is no foreshadowing of the Japanese version, there is also no preconceived notion of the Japanese version. box office.

After hearing Adrian's answer, Yukie was relieved, then smiled slightly, bowed and bowed: "For me, it is enough to stay by your side. Besides, even if I am in Hollywood No matter how famous you are, you won't receive more attention than Kate and the others, will you?"

Adrian shook his head with a grin. He wasn't really willing to let Yukie out. Although this girl was scheming, she never targeted anyone. She just wanted to stay by his side. That being the case, there is no need to force it. Besides, it is also a pleasure to have a celebrity as your personal maid.

"That's it. I'm going to stay in New Zealand for a long time, and I'll let you go if I need it." Adrian said, hugging her in his arms, kissing her lightly, and playing with the doll beside him. Lily turned a blind eye to this. She was used to hugging and kissing women other than her father and mother.

"If we have time in the middle, we can still go to Japan. I haven't been there for a long time, just the two of us." Adrian whispered in Yukie's ear.

"Yeah." Yuki Hui smiled softly, hesitated before saying: "By the way, you can go and see Ayu, she is now a popular singer."

Adrian glanced at her, didn't say much, and kissed her again after agreeing.

On a sunny afternoon, Adrian arrived in New Zealand with the crew and came to Queenstown. The northern hemisphere is still in the climate of late winter and early spring with a slightly lower temperature, but the southern hemisphere is extremely hot and has not completely cooled down.

Because I have been preparing every year for the past few years, immediately after the announcement, a team rushed to Queenstown to build a studio, and the local government also strongly supported it, especially when I heard that the director of Miracle will shoot the epic masterpiece "Lord of the Rings" here. In the end, the relevant departments with a keen sense of business even gave the green light, so they took a short break, basically adjusted the time difference, and the crew began to get busy.

The shots taken at the beginning were very scattered, which was convenient for the director and actors to find the feeling and adjust themselves. In addition, many teams were also sent to other places to shoot. Since the contents of the three films are to be filmed within a year, it is naturally impossible for Adrian to shoot each part himself. The scenes where the main character appears—such as the birth of the Orcs, or the long-range shots of the orcs siege of Helm’s Deep—can be left to other people. Adrian only needs to explain clearly and review it after completion. He brought a huge team, including four or five assistant directors alone.

Even so, after the shooting started, there were still troubles. The most prominent thing was Gandalf’s robe. In this shot, Gandalf is a gray robe, and the next shot will become a white robe. Therefore, Adrian’s stern scolding can often be heard on the set. : "Where did the dresser go?! What is needed now is Gandalf the Grey (White Robe), why is his robe white (gray)!"

"If only I could really use spells, I can change the color of my robe at will just by tapping on my cane." Ian McKellen often said half-jokingly.

"I think it's better to invent a kind of paint. If you splash it head-on, it will change color immediately. If you need to change it back, then pour another bucket." When he said this again, Adrian replied in a rare mood, Then call the others to get ready to shoot.

The content of the second part is being filmed. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli tracked the orcs who captured Pippin and the others to the woods, and then met Gandalf, who was promoted to a white-robed wizard after fighting the Balrog— —In these three novels by Tolkien, wizards are a race rather than a profession, and they are graded by the color of their robes.

Mortensen is indeed an excellent actor, and he is versatile. Not only is he good at acting, but he can also write poems and draw pictures. It is said that he has published several collections of poems and pictures. However, if one is good at more things, the level of specialization will inevitably drop a lot. In the end, it is not easy to make breakthroughs in any aspect. But it doesn't matter, as long as he can play the role of Aragorn well now, and in fact he does well.

Not to mention Silver, the men in the Phoenix family are very handsome, and they are even more dazzling after being well-dressed. I believe that there will be more women screaming for him by then. Moreover, he is already very talented and has practiced archery. The role of Legolas does not require much acting skills, and he is also well-handled.

As for McKellen, they are all old actors. Do you need to worry about his state?

"D!" After Gandalf pretended to be a ghost in front of Aragorn and others, Adrian clapped his hands and praised.

"Thank you!" The old kid McKellen bowed in public, as if calling a curtain call, and won a low laugh.

Adrian shook his head with a smile, walked over and was about to speak, suddenly stared at McKellen for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

A few actors looked between the two for no apparent reason, and McKellen also looked at himself inexplicably: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Adrian held back a smile, "it's just that a funny picture that is completely different from the current atmosphere suddenly popped up in his head."

"Oh? What kind of picture?" McKellen showed a curious look.

"It's nothing, it's just a completely different atmosphere from now...some funny pictures." Adrian waved his hands again and again.

"Let's hear it, there's nothing you can't beat." Someone booed from the side, and then won the approval of most people.

"Okay, are you sure you want to hear it?" Adrian glanced around.

"That's right, everyone was waiting," McKellen urged.

"Well, to put it simply, here stands Gandalf, the one in white."

"Yeah, Gandalf the White."

"He's got a rifle in his hand, upright in his hand like a cane."

"Rifles?!"

"That's right, the rifle is still with a wooden handle, and then he faced the camera with a serious face, or said to Aragorn and the others: Go away, let me kill him!"

There was silence, and then a burst of laughter broke out. \u003c/p\u003e
