King of Hollywood
Chapter 17
As always, on the second day after the Oscars, the major media began to comment on the list of winners and cheer for those films or actors who were not selected. Of course, different awards have different attitudes. For example, for the best movie, almost no one thinks there is anything wrong with "American Beauty" winning the award. Although the popularity of this movie in the United States cannot be compared with works like "Forrest Gump" Comparative, but also a top-notch movie, far surpassing the other four.
Even most Europeans hold this view, only the Italian media is complaining, if last year's "Life is Beautiful" is the work of an Italian director, and because it has addresses of Spielberg and others, it will inevitably be discriminated against , but "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is directed by the miracle director Adrian Cowell, and the quality is very good, why can't it win the best film? [m]
Of course, such complaints are pointless.
Although there are differences in the best actor, Spacey's performance has been recognized by most people, so those small controversies can be ignored. Therefore, the most debated is the best actress, Nicole, Streep, Moore, and Swank. Everyone has someone to complain about, and reporters or writers will analyze from various aspects to explain that they are equally Should have won Best Actress and questioned Monica with that.
Despite this, Adrian told Monica not to pay too much attention to these. First of all, many people sympathize with the losers, but there are also many people who support Monica, and most film critics believe that her performance in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is fully qualified to win a statuette; secondly, those people's The firepower is too scattered, and every unsuccessful candidate has to be compared. If there is too much, there is no threat.
This is not surprising. Although Swank in the previous life was also favored, he was completely upset when he won the best actress, so don't worry about the situation where many people gather to complain about one of them. Besides, there are still big killers that have not been used. Once they are labeled as regional discrimination, these guys will immediately start to distance themselves. Don't forget the power in Adrian's hands.
What's more, there are still many people who focus on other things. For example, the "New York Post" published such a headline: Another miracle girl reaches the top!
"Please don't forget that just last year, Cate Blanchett was promoted to the Oscar Queen's throne by the director of Miracle. Maybe we can see another Miracle Girl win the Best Actress in the near future The laurel crown." After reviewing Monica's film experience, analyzing the gains and losses of the clichéd "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", and finally describing in detail her scandal with Adrian and the miracle girl. This is how the tabloid concluded.
It seems that there is nothing special, but there is something vaguely revealed between the lines. Being Wonder Woman might be a good way to win an Oscar for Best Actress. Of course, this kind of implication is not very obvious, and it is up to the readers to comprehend it by themselves, just as many people never mentioned topics such as black-box operations when discussing the best actress in this year's Oscars. Films released by Lamax. The Weinstein brothers will inevitably be criticized, but everyone knows who is standing behind Monica, even if there is a small problem in his business.
"Newhouse and their vision is a bit narrow," Adrian commented when talking to Crowder about the words Donald Newhouse said at the "Vanity Fair" party that night. "They think this will make us grateful?"
Although the cooperation with the Newhouse Group is good, it is hard to say how deep it is. The old media group is always proud and reserved. In this regard, they are not as good as the Hearst Group, after realizing the huge profits in cable TV. The Hearst Group immediately began further cooperation with the media. Although their cooperation with the media was not as long as the Newhouse Group, it was much deeper. It can be seen from the fact that the media can promote the Oscars through the "San Francisco Chronicle" .
The Hearst Group's decision is very correct. Among other things, under Adrian's planning or suggestion, the cable channel they cooperated with specifically targeting female users won many subscribers. "Project Runway" is going to be broadcast on this channel. Around the turn of the millennium. As cable TV picks up speed, the Newhouse Group is finally seeing the benefits. They finally made up their minds to get a share of the action, but unfortunately the media that originally wanted to cooperate with them were declined and then attracted Hearst Group. Let the miscalculated Samuel Newhouse depressed.
Coincidentally, in the past month or so, the media has been in a quagmire because of the acquisition of the record company. If you help them at this time, the future cooperation should go smoothly. So there was the scene of Donald Newhouse at the "Vanity Fair" party. Everyone knew that Adrian was not in charge of specific affairs but had a say in many things. If he was persuaded, half the success would be considered.
"You can't let everyone have a long-term vision like you, Ed." Regarding his evaluation, Claude replied, although it was a bit teasing, it was sincere.
Most of Adrian's original predictions have come true, and the simple trick of concealing the benefits from the IT bubble has now become their not only but their biggest hole card. Therefore, Claude delayed and did not express his position on the Newhouse Group's overtures. After another week, everything will be clear. Of course, there was one more thing to do before that, and it had to be done by Adrian.
"Sorry, Pepe, I can't accompany you today. A lot of things have happened in the company recently. On the surface, they seem to be under control, but the actual situation is not very good. Inside, there is..." Adrian leaned on the table and squeezed Frowning to the side of his head, he said, "Damn it, I shouldn't have told you this."
"It's okay, Ed, everything will be fine." Penelope hugged Adrian from behind, nibbled on his ear, and gently rubbed his full softness on his back.
"Yes, it will be fine." Adrian turned his head and smiled, and kissed her again.
"Then I'll leave first," Penelope said.
"We'll have a good get-together when I come back from Kansas." Adrian nodded. "By the way, can you call Charlie in by the way? Then give this to Crowe's secretary."
He said and handed a folder to the other party.
"Okay." After hesitating for a while, Penelope still took it, gave him a smile, turned and walked out.
Watching her back, Adrian narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised without a smile, and quickly returned to the previous state.
Although after the Oscars, there are different opinions surrounding this list of winners. A lot of things came one after another, and even Julia couldn't sit still, and asked Adrian when she planned to start the script in her hand.
"Don't worry, it won't take longer than this month, Julie, you should have read the script many times. It's very good, right?" Adrian comforted her with a smile. "So, I think you should focus on the script and characters. For example, communicate more with Erin Brockovich. As long as your condition is good, I can finish the filming within 6 weeks."
"Okay, okay. You want to say that the speed of film production depends on the actors, not the director, is that true, Mister Marvel Director?" Julia rolled her eyes.
Yes, dear, this is my style. " Adrian laughed.
In short. No amount of things could stop Adrian from returning to Kansas, and Winter's Bone couldn't drag on any longer because of the slightly longer delays with the record company and the Oscars. Although the investment is not large, only 3 million US dollars. But it's not good to waste it casually, not to mention that $3 million now is worth more than $3 million ten years from now.
Fortunately, Natalie, who could have participated in the award ceremony, gave up this opportunity and returned to
Shidun spent the past few days on his studies. Maybe she just doesn't want to be pushed around by Adrian, who knows? Therefore, Natalie's condition is not bad. Although she was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, she began to recover after several NGs. It took half a day to return to the initial level, it can be seen. She is indeed very attentive.
Needless to say, Hucks, he is almost a real performance. Also slightly adjusted to return to the previous level. In addition, the scenes and plots of the movie itself are not complicated, the crew is different, and the key lies in the performance of the actors, so it only took a week (five working days) plus three days, and "Winter's Bone" was officially closed.
The crew was formed very low-key, and the disbandment was naturally very low-key, so some things don't have to be so deep in disguise.
Kansas, in the luxury suite of the hotel, naked young girls crawled on the carpet, and put thick pillows on their bodies so that they could put their elbows on them to support their bodies. The man's hands were placed on the slender waist, and he attacked rhythmically but fiercely from behind. From the fine beads of sweat, the frequency of the vibration, and the wrinkled carpet, it could be seen how intense it was.
Natalie shook her head and groaned, but she could only groan, her body reaction, which was so hot that it almost reached the sky, left her no time to think. Finally, after Adrian made a forward thrust, the girl who seemed to have touched the critical line suddenly raised her head and screamed, her body tensed and her little buttocks that were constantly shaking were clinging to her, and it lasted like this for centuries, losing her strength She collapsed limply on the ground.
"Your body finally seems to have a little more fat than last time, and it is more shapely than before. It seems that you did follow my orders?" Adrian, who held Natalie in his arms and comforted her, expressed satisfaction. said in a tone.
The girl whose eyes were still a little distant turned her head away, as if she didn't want to meet his eyes, but her mouth still heaved and fell, and she was still reminiscing about the feeling of climbing to the peak before. Adrian Lu, who kept kissing her shoulders and neck, showed a sudden smile, and he knew that this would be the result. The so-called strict vegetarians only persisted if necessary. Natalie never Not the kind of person who sticks to a dead end.
"I guess, you must be very contradictory now. On the one hand, you are amazed at my strength again, a miracle girl has become the best actress in the Oscar; on the other hand, you are secretly delighted at my impending failure If you pay a little attention to business news, you will know that the media is in trouble." Adrian whispered in her ear.
"No..." Natalie closed her eyes and shook her head lightly.
"You can't lie to me, Nada, your body has already told the truth." Adrian laughed, took off the raincoat and changed into a new one, and then increased the degree of caressing again.
"Wait, you can't..." Natalie wanted to stop her, but he finally picked her up from behind and sat down on the chair.
"Isn't this suitable? We used to be like this, but every time I didn't enjoy myself very much." Adrian said as he lifted one of her tuǐ and placed it on the armrest, "So now we have to make a change , You see. Didn’t you do a good job last time? Don’t worry, the night is still long, we have enough time, you will like it, Nada, now let’s change to a new pose.”
He lifted her little ass and lowered it slowly, when the empty and wet place was filled. Natalie then let out a shēn moan mixed with timidity and joy.
That's it, patiently touching her bottom line little by little. Push this bottom line down little by little. Perhaps the results are not great, and sometimes there are even no results, at least Natalie never swears in bed, you know, it is very exciting for a temperamental woman to swear on the bed. but it does not matter. Some things, sooner or later, Blanchett can slap her own ass and yell obscene "**ass" at Adrian, let alone Natalie.
In short, there will be many such trainings in the future, and now I will come back to another matter. After the successful filming of "Winter's Bone", Adrian rushed back to Los Angeles. Although others are in Kansas. But he always paid attention to the takeover and anti-takeover matters. In just a few days a week, Charlize came over three or four times.
In the eyes of the outside world, the media has been struggling to cope. They neither want to give up Universal Music and fight against the acquisition of Sony Records, nor do they want to give up M Records and go all out to acquire Universal Music. They are always in a dilemma. Neither side wants it. Obviously, there has been a major mistake in decision-making.
Many media also made various ridicules, such as "Even if you win Universal Music, you will lose your foundation", or "Keep the M record. It can't make up for the loss caused by the acquisition of Universal Music" and "Continuing It will just be empty of both" and so on. Many people are also waiting to see a good show, and Adrian said that Natalie is not wrong to be secretly happy. The media has never suffered such a big loss since its establishment.
Especially after the fourth negotiation, after the news that M Records Ryan Ferguson fell to Sony Records, the acquisition of M Records seems to be a foregone conclusion. Of course, no one knew that when Adrian returned to Los Angeles from Kansas, he called Claude as soon as he landed: "It's time to close the net... I washed my face with cold water, and Penelope covered his forehead." Shēn groaned, then found a few painkillers from behind the mirror in the bathroom and took them. Recently, her head has been suffering from a slight pain, which made people upset, and she had to take medicine to make herself feel better Some.
Penelope knew why she had a headache, and she had already begun to regret it, why did she agree to the other party in the first place? Even if he didn't leave immediately, Thomas Mottola could be allowed to spread the word. Would Adrian still blame himself for something she didn't do? No, just leave, why make things so complicated.
Besides, she could tell Adrian right away, which might make herself more valued. When she thinks of Monica Bellucci who won the Best Actress in this year's Oscars, Penelope will feel depressed. I'm obviously not an idiot, and it's not like I haven't weighed the pros and cons before, so why did I lose my head on this matter? And it's getting deeper and deeper...
Thinking of the disdainful, pitiful, and mocking eyes that Adrian's beautiful female secretary looked at her, Penelope would feel inexplicably irritated and restless, and occasionally feel a little terrified. As for her urge to slap each other across the face, fortunately Adrian didn't change anything about her, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.
"It's okay, it will be over soon, they signed the contract today, and I will have nothing to do with me in the future, and I can harvest in the future." Penelope took a deep breath and said to herself in the camera.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, Penelope cleaned up, and then came out to answer the phone, but there was a voice that surprised her: "Ed?"
"Yes, it's me, are you up, Pepe?" Adrian's voice sounded cheerful.
"Well... yes, what's the matter?" Penelope stabilized her mind.
"I'll be at your door in ten minutes, pack up quickly, and I'll have a surprise for you then."
"surprise?"
"Yes, hurry up."
Before she could answer, Adrian hung up the phone. Penelope held the microphone in a daze for several seconds before reacting. Although she felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart, she still packed up as she said. . After changing into a decent black dress and putting on some light makeup, the doorbell rang.
"You are still so sexy and charming, Pepe." After Penelope came out, Adrian, who was wearing a suit and tie, said with a smile. Driver, very formal.
"What's the matter?" Penelope kept her usual smile.
"Get in the car, you will know soon." Adrian said, holding her arm and going to the car.
"Wait, Ed, are you going to tell me something specific? Besides, I haven't had breakfast yet?" Penelope was starting to feel bad.
"To put it simply, I want to take you to witness a miracle." Adrian didn't stop at all, then gestured to the bodyguard in the car behind, and shouted loudly: "Ke Lin, go and buy some simple, slightly filling breakfast."
"I want to stay at home, Ed..." Penelope smiled reluctantly, and there seemed to be a slight pain in the elbow held tightly by Adrian.
"Okay, Pepe, don't dawdle, we don't have much time." Adrian said casually, then opened the car door and stuffed her in. Q! .
