King of Hollywood

"Promise?" Adrian raised his head, and finally remembered after a while, "Oh, yes, you said yesterday that you wanted to introduce someone to me...but you didn't say it's now?"

"It's not true, but if I hadn't come to see you in advance, I would never have seen you in the hotel's coffee shop at ten o'clock." Weinstein spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay, I was wrong," Adrian said briskly, "Then, wait a minute, I have to spend some time getting dressed and..."

He pointed to the bedroom, and what he didn't say later was self-evident. Weinstein immediately shrugged, made a "please don't be late" gesture, and left.

"Hey, sweetheart, I have to say sorry..." Adrian walked into the bedroom, and was robbed before he could finish speaking: "Yes, I know, you have something to do, I heard."

Zoe, who had already changed her clothes and sat on the chair, said carelessly, with her mouth crooked, she looked dissatisfied, but she was very cute, and then she sighed exaggeratedly: "It's normal, men are like this, once a woman Once you're in bed, all the sweet talk you've said before will evaporate in no time."

"Oh, Zoe, it really makes me sad when you say that, it really hurts." Adrian also sighed exaggeratedly, then squatted down in front of her with a smile, and put her hand on his In his hand: "Okay, sweetheart, I just have a small appointment, and it won't take too much time. You can wait for me here first, or you can go to the ski resort first, and I will be there soon. I promise."

As he spoke, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips: "You are one of the sweetest and cutest girls I have ever seen, how could I be willing to neglect you."

"However, my mother told me, never believe a playboy's words. I made a mistake yesterday, and I can't do it again today." Zooey said seriously.

"Well, it seems that I should find a way to prove my sincerity," Adrian scratched his head, glanced at the time next to him, and gave a smirk. "Exactly, we still have some time."

Zooey showed a puzzled look, but she understood after Adrian reached out to unbutton her clothes, and immediately knocked it down: "Stop, you bastard, wasn't last night enough?"

Having said that, she giggled, and a charming blush appeared on her face. So Adrian quickly stripped her top off. But Zooey didn't want him to succeed so easily, and then giggled and played hide-and-seek in the bedroom. Unfortunately, these tricks were useless in front of the experienced Adrian. When she wanted to crawl over the bed , he suddenly pounced on her and pressed her under him, and then pulled off his trousers amidst her screams. The white and tender buttocks were immediately exposed to the air.

"Ed, you cheated..." Zooey yelled angrily, but before she could yell out, her mouth was gagged.

Under Adrian's provocation, the two kissed passionately. Then, without waiting for Zoe to be completely stripped, Adrian spread her legs and stuck them down, and the unique morning exercise between men and women began with moans.

Sex in the morning actually has many benefits, especially sex in the morning in winter, which can make people in a good state faster. So Adrian was in high spirits when he went downstairs to the hotel's coffee shop. Weinstein had been waiting there for what appeared to be a long time, but looking at the time, he wasn't late.

"Where is the person you want to introduce, Harvey?" Adrian asked in a relaxed tone after ordering the waiter.

"He hasn't arrived yet," Weinstein was a little embarrassed, and he went out of his way to remind Adrian. As a result, Adrian came down, and his friend hadn't come yet, "But it should be here soon, there are still a few minutes... Hey, he's there."

Immediately, Weinstein stood up, waved to the door and raised his voice: "Mike, this way."

Following his line of sight, a very handsome middle-aged man walked over here. His face was very fat or very fat. In the words of his previous life, it was a typical face with the word "you", with a black frame Glasses, with a round beard, and a large swing of his upper limbs when he walks, he should be a very confident or even arrogant guy.

"Sorry, Harvey, I thought it was the Haydn Cafe on Solam Street. I'm so sorry." The middle-aged man walked over and apologized.

"It's okay, Ed and I just sat down," Weinstein shook hands with him, and then introduced, "Ed, this is Michael Moore, a well-known documentary director and independent producer. Mike, this It's Adrian Cowell, famed Marvel director and... philanthropist."

Michael Moore? Adrian narrowed his eyes quickly. The memory of his previous life and the experience of this life made him quickly recall the information about this fat man. He shook hands with the other party and stared at Weinstein.

Weinstein smiled silently and secretly, looking a little embarrassed. He also knew that this guy was a headache for the boss of a big company, so why did he introduce him to him?

"Let me just say it straight, Mr. Kewell," after a few words of conversation, and after Adrian asked the purpose cryptically, Michael Moore put everything on the table directly, "Not long ago I and Harvey talked about an idea, an idea for a new documentary, Harvey is very supportive of me. But this documentary will involve a lot of information that the government does not want the public to know, a lot of information about the disaster of the year before, so how much it will be received when it can be produced There are not many obstacles, and there are not many investments that can be attracted, and then Harvey said that you might be interested."

He was talking eloquently, but he didn't see Weinstein covering his head next to him.

"Information about 911?" Adrian raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, he couldn't help but glanced at Weinstein again, who secretly smiled.

"Yes, after this disaster, many people hated bin Laden, and Bush retaliated against Afghanistan, but few people know that the Bush family and the bin Laden family are very close," Moore said. Get a little excited. "I'm sorry that I can't come up with more information now, but I can be sure that the 9/11 incident is definitely not as simple as imagined. There are many complicated and shocking things in it. It is necessary for me to show the things in it to the public. , Tell them what happened, it's a citizen's duty!"

Really...how should I put it? Adrian shook his head disapprovingly in his heart, but kept a polite smile on the surface.

"Mr. Moore, I want to remind you. Mr. Bush Jr. is an elected president. If he did such a thing, neither the Congress nor the people will let him go. Paper can never contain fire." He said Said unhurriedly.

Moore was taken aback for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Adrian to understand what he meant so quickly. At the same time, his face changed slightly, and he could hear the hint of rejection hidden in his words.

"You're wrong. Mr. Cowell," he emphasized, "it's not paper that wraps this flame, but a sealed container. If no one opens it, they won't know what's hidden inside. And what I'm going to do. Open it up for the public, for everyone who has the right to know the truth!"

"Evidence, Mr. Moore, you have to prove with real evidence that there is such a container. And there is indeed a flame in the container. It is not guesswork. The jury will not because 'No one else but him can do this. Convict a person for this kind of reason." Adrian spread his hands.

Michael Moore frowned, and his eyes behind the lens were fixed on Adrian. After a long while, he finally stood up.

"I knew it. You can't rely on the conscience of rich people," Moore said bluntly, and then patted Weinstein on the shoulder. "Sorry, Harvey, to waste your kindness, but not everyone After your social status improves, you will still pay attention to the things under your feet. You are a good person. But not everyone is a good person.”

After speaking, he strode out. Weinstein stood up and yelled several times, but he didn't look back once.

Adrian shook his head disapprovingly again, and he did it very obviously. This guy is too self-righteous and thinks he has the truth, so it is difficult to listen to opinions that oppose or do not conform to his own ideas, especially if it is a rich man. Man, the opinion given to him by a super rich man is 100% wrong.

He didn't feel bad for him, though—certainly, he didn't feel good about him. From the perspective of director and producer, Michael Moore is a competent and even excellent documentary director. Among other things, the documentary "Bowling for Columbine" he produced last year about the issue of guns was released after its release. Earned him much acclaim for making a powerful impact by combining interview footage from the Oklahoma bombing and the Columbine High School massacre with clips of news reports, speeches, and numerous shootings , which probably fueled his ambition, so he targeted the 9/11 incident.

In Adrian's view, Michael Moore is at best a man, according to the words of his previous life, he is a clear stream. The meaning of his existence is to pick thorns, to show himself by picking thorns from the government. Because this kind of thing is very simple, and as long as you grasp the bottom line, you don’t need to worry too much. Nothing is perfect. If you want to find it, you can always find loopholes. The government has always been the target of criticism, especially the President of the United States It was already acting as a target.

Finding problems is easy, and solving problems is the most important thing, but for Qingliu, this is neither what they are good at, nor what they want to manage, they just need to find fault. Of course, some people will come up with some solutions, but they are basically thought of with a slap in the head. If they are implemented, it will only make things worse. Of course, Qingliu will definitely not admit this, they will only quibble, if there is a problem, it means that the solution has not been implemented.

In addition, although Michael Moore's documentary raises sharp questions, it is not necessarily fair. Documentaries are also made by people, and people always have their own standpoints and desires. For example, "Fahrenheit 9/11" is still in his head. It doesn't matter to expose the relationship between the Bush family and the bin Laden family. It doesn't matter if there is a problem with the collapse, but it is said that the US government did it...

As I said before, this may be possible, but the probability is very low, so low that it can be ignored, because once it is confirmed, the foundation of the United States is likely to be shaken. But in my memory, the documentary is short of naming names and saying that the government itself directed the disaster. But all the evidence, such as the transferred treasury under the WTO, or the military's plan to defend the WTO, etc., are all specious.

If it was Adrian, if he really wanted to do something for the victims and the country, he would definitely go to the government for dereliction of duty. There is no doubt that the government must have received intelligence in advance, but for some reason, intervening in the Middle East or sniping the euro, etc., allowed the terrorists to act. The result was a huge disaster.

As long as these things are confirmed, the government will have to peel off its skin, and Bush will likely become the fourth president to be impeached. But Moore just made such a conspiracy theory. If it wasn't for the meeting today that Adrian had an intuitive impression of him, he might have thought he was A or the undercover agent.

Of course, he would be like this. Adrian also understands that a complete idealist will either die early, or change himself after being beaten badly in society. But Moore still played some positive significance after all. At least let the public look at some issues from another angle, and regardless of whether what is said is true or not, but he really dares to say it.

"Damn it, how did it become like this." Weinstein sat back in his seat and hugged his head and sighed.

"You seem to have a good relationship with Michael Moore." Adrian asked calmly.

"Yes, Miramax helped him distribute the movie in 1999." Weinstein explained, followed by another heavy sigh.

"Okay. Harvey, don't tell me that you supported him making the 9/11 documentary because of a conscience discovery." Adrian stopped circling around and teased unceremoniously.

"Why can't I be a conscience discovery?" Weinstein immediately asked, but then raised his hands. "Well, I just think it's a valuable subject, especially after Mike told me his idea, maybe a little rough, but it's going to be a hit when it's done."

Having said that, he blinked his eyes: "By the way, you can show Mr. President a little color."

Although at the end of 2000, because of the acquisition of AT\u0026adband, it got on the line with the Bush family. When Bush Jr. finally hit the presidency, he played a big role, but after more than a year, it has gradually faded or even turned cold. Claude and the Godfather are more inclined to the Democratic Party, and in comparison, the White House definitely prefers News Corporation, which has a closer relationship with the government, so this situation is unavoidable.

And Weinstein knew about this. After all, when he was asked to help with public relations, Adrian gave him full power and allowed him to fully mobilize resources. Although he couldn't understand some confidential things, he still knew a little about the changes in the relationship with the Bush family. This is why Weinstein said that, he also supports the Democrats, and he can use this excuse to bring Adrian in-of course, this is definitely not his only reason.

"Really?" Adrian smiled noncommittally, "Not only that, Harvey, this is a good opportunity to enhance Miramax's reputation, do things that other film companies dare not do, and by the way, let We will endorse you."

Weinstein chuckled twice, and was not embarrassed by the exposure of his petty thoughts.

"You gave me a problem, Harvey," Adrian sat up straight, "you should know how much trouble this is."

"I just hope that the media can give some support in distribution, that's all." Weinstein explained.

"This is the problem." Adrian tapped lightly on the table, "After all, we are a big company, even if we appear as a neutral company, we have to consider the government's response to this kind of thing, especially after 9/11. "

Weinstein remained silent, and Adrian knew that this would not convince him. It has always been the wish of their brothers to make Miramax bigger and stronger. If the documentary conceived by Moore can be released smoothly, it will definitely cause a sensation Effect, and Miramax, which does what other big film companies cannot do, is even more dazzling.

In the previous life, the reason why the Weinstein brothers turned against Eisner and finally ran away from Miramax was because they released "Fahrenheit 9/11" without authorization, so it is almost impossible to get him to give up.

However, this road does not work, there is another way to go.

"Want to hear my advice?" Adrian asked leisurely after a while.

"Of course." Weinstein's eyes lit up. Without the endorsement of a powerful large group like the media, Miramax would not be able to withstand the huge pressure of a separate release, so even if there is a chance to get Adrian's support , he will try his best to fight for it.

"It's very simple. You can continue to invest in Mr. Moore's documentary, and it can be made very delicate. If it exceeds the budget, I can help a part." Adrian said with a smirk, "Then, take this documentary The documentary will go to the Cannes Film Festival next year."

Weinstein was taken aback for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth.

"I like the idea!" He had the same smirk on his face as Adrian.

With the consistent pissing nature of the French, they will never let go of any opportunity to show the face of the US government, so Mr. Moore is very likely to win a Palme d'Or, and it is easy for a documentary with a huge reputation to be released in the US. There are too many - in fact, "Fahrenheit 9/11" in the previous life did this.

"But there is one thing I want to make clear," Adrian suddenly stretched out his finger and shook, "I didn't know about this matter from beginning to end!"

"Huh?" Weinstein, who hadn't reacted, was stunned again.

"So, when Miramax releases this documentary, the media will criticize you and plan to punish you for your self-assertion. Moreover, Claude and your brothers have also had some conflicts." Adrian said slowly and word by word.

Speaking of this, how could Weinstein not understand what he meant, just...

"It's not fair, Ed!" he cried bitterly, his fat face crumpled into a ball.

"This world is unfair, Harvey." Adrian laughed. (to be continued..)
