King of Hollywood

"I have to say, Mr. Miller, in terms of storytelling, my daughter is better than you." After listening to Lily's story, Adrian spread his hands to the principal.

"Mr. Kewell," the headmaster took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose with some headaches, "We also know about this matter, but these are two things, although they are related, we must first deal with one thing before talking about the other." one thing."

"Okay," Adrian didn't say much, and turned his head to his daughter again, "Do you know what's wrong with you, Lily?"

"I'm just helping my friend." The little guy immediately pouted with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I know, but there are many ways to help a friend," Adrian smiled slightly, "You should let her face the little guy who bullies her, instead of helping her solve the trouble yourself, that will only make her In the future, I will become dependent on you, become timid and unconfident, and the first thing I think of when encountering difficulties is not how to solve them, but to ask you for help."

"Could this be the case?" Lily blinked her eyes and seemed a little surprised.

"Of course, I'm exaggerating, but there is a possibility," Adrian spread his hands. "So, you should encourage her to fight. This is your first mistake."

"Okay, this is my fault," the little guy scratched his head depressedly, his mouth still pouted, "do you want a second one?"

"That's right," Adrian nodded. "Your second mistake is that you didn't take the moral high ground when there was a conflict, that is, when you beat him up. Others may sympathize with him." .”

"Why?" Lily frowned and couldn't accept it. "Many people have seen him bullying Vivian."

"But he didn't bully you, right? So, the whole thing has nothing to do with you directly, so you have no reason to beat him up, so when you made someone cry, most people think you Wrong," Adrian said for his daughter in a leisurely manner, "or be more specific, such as someone said in front of me. Your daughter Lily Cowell is a fool and an idiot. You think I have enough Any reason to punch him?"

Lily's eyes lit up immediately, and she punched her palm: "Understood, I should lure him to attack me. It doesn't matter whether it's a personal attack in words or a physical attack, but as long as he does it, I will That's reason enough to teach him a lesson, right?"

The little guy's eyes curled up. He looked at his father with his hands on his hips, and nodded in satisfaction: "As expected of a big bad dad."

The principal, who had been smiling wryly all this time, couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this. He couldn't say anything to the father and daughter who were discussing how to beat someone in front of him so that he wouldn't be blamed. Mr. Adrian Cowell sponsored a large sum of money for the school and was well connected with the school board.

It is also because of this. He had no choice but to invite Adrian to the school. If such a thing happened, it would be a very troublesome thing in the future if the parents were not asked to cooperate to stop it at the source, but now it seems that , was a wrong decision? Families who can come to this elementary school are either rich or expensive. Most of them are well-educated, but there are also quite a few weird ones, and Principal Miller has seen a lot, but the Cowells are so unscrupulous...well, maybe this word should not be used, at least they don't seem very arrogant . It is indeed discussing a problem, but is it really appropriate to talk about this problem between father and daughter?

"Then, let's listen to Mr. Miller's opinion." Adrian said and looked at the principal again.

"Hmm..." Mr. Principal automatically ignored what the father and daughter had talked about before, "We hope that Miss Cowell can apologize to Mr. Nelson in person."

"What do you think, dear?" Adrian immediately looked at his daughter.

"No problem," the little guy answered very frankly, but there was an inexplicable light in his eyes, "I can apologize to him. But there is a premise."

She puffed up her small chest, and faced the principal with a serious look: "Nelson must apologize to Vivienne first, I will be as sincere as he is, he is in front of all the students, and I am in front of all the students face!"

The sonorous and forceful tone actually carried a hint of refusal, but it didn't last long. After glancing at the father next to him, he triumphantly lifted his hand underneath, which was a big thumb.

The principal smiled bitterly, "I know..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Miller," Adrian said to him with a smile after Lily had left the meeting, "Lily is a smart and precocious child. She is proud, so I have every confidence that this will never happen again."

"I hope you are right, Mr. Kewell." The principal said with some helplessness.

Adrian ignored his worries. The little guy did have his own measure, so all he had to do was to let her understand that her measure was the same and different from others'.

"You've caused me a lot of trouble, Lily." Adrian said to his daughter after leaving the school by car.

"Do you find it embarrassing?" Lily smiled and looked at her father, holding her chin, "If so, can I come here a few more times?"

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows, and suddenly pulled her into his arms, "Do you really want to see me embarrassed, little guy!"

Lily immediately screamed, accompanied by giggling, and tossed around in the car for several minutes. After stopping, the little guy patted his father's arm angrily: "Don't worry, bad dad, I won't There's no such thing."

"You are a big kid!" Adrian pressed her head, and then sighed again, "In a few years, I will be a big girl, time flies so fast..."

Lily grimaced and just laughed. To be honest, being too precocious is not a good thing. Some...forget it, parents can guide the child's direction, but don't interfere with her life. She is so smart, she will know how to choose.

This little turmoil ended with Nelson's apology to Vivienne, and Lily's apology to Nelson. However, a small part of the tail was also left. From then on, Lily became the leader of the girls in school. Those boys are just teasing the girls. Just wait to be rectified. And Lily gave full play to what she learned that day, standing on the moral high ground every time. Even if the school knew that everything was planned by her, they couldn't find an excuse to blame it.

However, she didn't hold on to the problems of those boys, and would take the initiative to reconcile with them. Most of the time, she was well-balanced, so she was very popular in school in the end.

"The little guy has great leadership skills." Adrian teased Kate after learning about it, "It seems that he inherited it from himself."

Kate immediately understood him, although Adrian didn't say anything like the Lion King in front of her. But how could she not have heard of it? Even if he might not mean it that way, it doesn't stop Kate from thinking that way, after all, no matter how much she doesn't like this argument, it can't change the fact that she is a member of the lioness.

"I think we can have another baby," she said finally. With a good-natured smile on his face, "A smart child like Lily."

"Well... no problem, as long as you want." Adrian welcomed after thinking for a while.

"Then," Kate went on, "let Sarah, Charlie, Ennie. Let all your women have more children, hundreds of children in total, and let them bankrupt you!" "

She gritted her teeth, she looked so... so cute.

That's all for later, back around Halloween, when the November movie schedule is just around the corner. Therefore, many films that lack competition but want to win will be released at this time, such as "Very Human Trafficker". Although Luc Besson has already been recognized by Hollywood, and the whole story is spoken in English, it is labeled as a French film after all, so New Line, which took over the North American distribution affairs, chose to release it at this time.

Still, without a premiere, the film has done well and critics have been kind. Everyone praised the rhythm and atmosphere of the movie. As far as a commercial film is concerned, "Very Human Trafficker" is still very qualified. The actor is also set to be a retired American special soldier, and the heroine Yukie is now one of the best-known Asian actors in the United States. Adrian's exhortation has put some effort into publicity, so there is such a situation.

However, there are also movies that are released at this time because the schedule is just right, such as David Fincher's new work "Trembling Room". There must be a premiere of this movie. Although it is not big, many people came to join in, because Naomi is the leading role, and Adrian will naturally not be left behind, which makes this premiere a little more attention. .

Although the plot of the movie has been known for a long time, it still feels very interesting to watch it in the auditorium. After all, Finch is a MV shooter. Very thoughtful people, so every movie has redeeming qualities. Although "Frightening Space" is just a story that happened in one night in a house, it can be shot by him in a tense, exciting, impactful and infectious way.

Of course, Naomi’s performance is also indispensible. Years of accumulation broke out again, interpreting a mother who is strong and fighting back in a desperate situation vividly, no less than Adrian’s memory, Judy Foo Fincher was also full of praise for Starr's performance in the original version, saying that she held up most of the movie.

Kristen Stewart is also very good, especially the scene where the gangsters are locked in the back room and have a diabetic attack, which is especially wonderful. The only regret is that Adrian suggested that she grow her hair longer, but Fincher thought it was better to have short hair, so she was still a tomboy in the movie. She is actually quite outstanding. Although she is not a beauty at first glance, if she is not dressed in a neutral way, she will be able to see the taste after a long time.

At the premiere, she had long hair and wore a skirt, which was completely different from the movie. What's interesting is that she was always with Naomi, so she was always... constantly dangling in front of Adrian.

After the release, the word-of-mouth of "Tremor Room" was polarized. Some film critics felt good, but some film critics thought it was very bad. "Variety Show" said. The film maintains Fincher's usual level, the atmosphere is rendered just right, and although the plot is slightly clichéd, it maintains a sense of tension from beginning to end. But "U.S. Weekly" disagreed. They believed that "Trembling Room" was Fincher's worst film so far. "The Mind Game" is better than this movie.

Of course, Finch doesn't care about these, to put it bluntly. It's still a dispute between art and commerce. "Psychological Games" was also treated like this when it was released. It's good that the next film is more artistic. However, these film critics unanimously praised Naomi's performance. Just like Finch said, her performance alone supported most of the movie.

"See, Nami, this is a very high evaluation." In Marbury's seaside villa. Adrian shook the newspaper deliberately and said to Naomi.

Before Naomi, who was grinning, could speak, Nicole next to her took the topic away: "Yes, yes, I have never received such an evaluation. I knew I would want this role."

"Why not, isn't that the case with the previous "Small Island Cry"? Need me to find out the comments at that time?" Adrian pretended to be displeased.

"So some people say that David originally planned to invite me to star in "Small Island Cry." Nicole sighed and walked over, and sat down beside Naomi. Then he put his arms around her: "Of course, Nami, I'm not saying that I will perform better than you, I'm just... a little depressed."

"Come on, Nicole. We both know you deserve the title of Oscar-winning actress," Naomi said with a smile.

Although Nicole won the Oscar for Best Actress with "Moulin Rouge" at the beginning of this year, the controversy has continued. It is not bad to compare it with Gwyneth and other nominees. Public relations, shady and so on are persistent. Constantly, Nicole doesn't care though. But being chased and asked too much by reporters, it is inevitable that I will be a little upset.

"Oh, Naomi, you're still close to me, I love you, let's get married." Nicole immediately picked up Naomi's face and kissed her on the mouth.

"Your performance in the new movie is also good, and the film critics say so. You and George are both very good." Adrian shrugged, "Also, if you tempt me in front of my eyes..."

"He will threaten us with this." Nicole snorted immediately.

"He has always been like this, and it's not like you don't know it."

"How about giving him some color tonight?"

"no problem."

The two women just sang together, which made Adrian burst into laughter. Then, the water in the kitchen boiled, and Naomi got up and left. As soon as she left, Nicole's smile changed, becoming a little seductive, she stretched out one foot in front of Adrian, and rubbed it on his calf: "Do you just let them write casually like this? "

"This kind of thing is normal, isn't it?" Adrian smiled slightly, grabbed her ankle, and kneaded her calf along the way.

"Okay, okay." Nicole sighed, a little bit disappointed.

"Speaking of which, which actress has the most nominations for acting awards?" Adrian didn't care, and said to himself, "Katherine Hepburn? Or Meryl Streep?"

In just a short moment, Nicole understood what he meant, and her eyes lit up immediately: "It seems to be about the same, more than ten times."

Speaking of which, she also stretched out her other foot, and both feet were clamped around his waist. She narrowed her eyes and licked the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue: "I can let you play for free for a month."

"Just one month? No more," Adrian raised his eyebrows. "How about free for life?"

"That's not okay, I still have to support myself." Nicole said seriously, "Or like this, after each time, I will be free for half a month, and then half price for half a month."

"Acceptable." Adrien pretended to think for a few minutes, then nodded with a smile.

I wanted to wait for a while longer, but it’s okay to throw it out now. The reason why she reached the top with "Moulin Rouge" was because she promised to let her win the Oscar for Best Actress with the most beautiful and beautiful image. The reason, and now this is also a reason, if you want to prove that you are awarded by strength - well, strength accounts for 80% or more than 90% - then continue to stay by his side.

After all, he always has the most opportunities here. For example, he has solved a troublesome matter before.

"Ms. Nora Ephron has agreed to be the director, and Ms. Meryl Streep has also agreed to play the leading role, and the preliminary work has already begun preparations. So, as long as you agree, you can start working immediately " Adrian leaned back his chair and looked at Natalie who was reading the script with his head sideways.

"You...really think this role is suitable?" Natalie asked, frowning slightly as she stared at the script.

"What do you think is inappropriate?" Adrian asked back.

"It doesn't matter if you like food, but..." She bit her lip and turned to look at Adrian, "Do I look like a woman who is almost thirty and married?"

Adrian raised an eyebrow, then laughed.

"We all know that the real acting is to look ordinary and yet be extraordinary; but we also know that most of the time, for an actress to win an Oscar for pussy acting, she has to play some crazy or ugly characters. "Adrian sat up, leaned in front of Natalie, looked into her eyes, "It's very simple, this is the only way, what the judges want to see is completely different from you in reality, or even the opposite, but you More believable."

Speaking of this, he patted the script on the table: "If you really find an actress who is twenty-seven or eighty-eight to play this role, there will be no bright spots, but if a very young girl is in this movie, it will be very exciting. Being able to behave like a home woman who likes good food, is in her late thirties and has nothing to do, there is no doubt that she will be the most dazzling highlight of the whole movie!"
