King of Hollywood

"I originally planned to let them participate in the Cannes Film Festival next year." In Claude's office, Adrian said as if explaining and complaining.

"Don't worry, Ed, it's not that we haven't made corresponding preparations," Claude waved his hand, not particularly concerned, "I know how you feel, but many things are like this, and we won't follow you every step of the way." mental development."

"Yes, I know, it's just..." Adrian gestured, "Well, I was just a little surprised. I should have expected this situation."

Thinking about it carefully, it is normal for Michael Moore to launch "Fahrenheit 9/11" so quickly and bring it to Cannes for the exhibition. In his previous life, the reason why he participated in the Cannes Film Festival in 2004 was completely forced out. First of all, it is difficult to attract investment for this kind of theme attacking the government. Secondly, Miramax and the parent company Disney have conflicts because of this. Eisner even forcibly used administrative means to order the Weinstein brothers not to participate in the production of the film. Production and distribution are also in the foreseeable future.

These factors have accumulated and caused controversy within a certain range. Only then did "Fahrenheit 9/11" participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and then won the Palme d'Or for various reasons.

Now, Miramax is under the banner of the media, and the degree of harmony with each other far exceeds that of Disney in the previous life. That's why Harvey Weinstein dragged Moore to find Adrian at the Sundance Film Festival. move.

Then, although Adrian did not agree to Moore's request. But not only acquiesced in Weinstein's approach, but also gave a proposal that could go straight to the top. In this way, Weinstein will definitely let go, and investment will not be a problem. In this case, Michael Moore must be extremely enthusiastic and energetic. In addition, he is also a guy who is not willing to be lonely. He can let the public see it earlier, reveal the inside story earlier, make the public wake up earlier, and prepare for Bush's resignation earlier. Why wait until next year? Especially after the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. And the Iraq War eventually broke out as a catalyst.

None of these Adrians expected, or had such an idea but then threw it behind him. He has become accustomed to giving an outline of a plan, and then letting others be responsible for perfecting the details and putting them into action. Now that the competition in 2004 has been arranged, and Weinstein has been informed, it only needs to wait until next year. More importantly, next year is an election year if Moore really wants to unseat Bush from the presidency. It's clearly better to have "Fahrenheit 9/11" released next year.

Therefore, Moore finally completed the documentary when May came, and sent it to Cannes for exhibition. Then, because such behavior was acquiesced several months ago, Weinstein did not notify Adrian, and finally came to the current...passive situation.

That's right. Although Adrian informed Claude about this after discussing with Weinstein, and made some series of arrangements around it, it was all based on the release of "Fahrenheit 9/11" in 2004. Doing this now is tantamount to pushing the unprepared media to the forefront, and many plans for this year will have to be revised.

fine. The corresponding plan can be used directly, and after a sudden climb to the top, it will be vented quickly, and the controversy caused will be smaller than in the previous life, and the pressure on the media will also be smaller. In addition, the plan needs to be adjusted at any time, so Claude doesn't care. Anyway, the scapegoat is Miramax, even if it is only in name, if it is thrown out to attract attention, it will share a lot of attention, and it can still achieve the purpose of signaling the Bush administration.

From this point of view, Adrian's view of Moore was correct at the beginning, and this angry youth is not a particularly "angry youth". Of course, it is also possible that he overestimated the influence of his documentary. I thought it would take a year to ferment and strive to be nominated for an Oscar again, which would resonate with more people and change the outcome of next year's general election.

It's a pity not to mention how objective his documentary is. The problems in it have been analyzed last time. As far as public opinion is concerned, it is not in the hands of people like him, so...

"Okay, let's talk about something else. Have you read the submission I asked Yi Ni to organize about the Flash Player developed by a?" Adrian changed the subject.

"I've seen it, but shouldn't this be for Victor? He is the chairman of the Internet company." Claude raised his eyebrows and said half-jokingly.

"Come on, Crowe, I'm talking about business with you." Ed shook his head with a smile, "Don't tell me, you didn't see the key point, if this website is successful, the entire network environment will become more Unimpeded. If we can occupy most of the market like K does, then we will once again seize the opportunity of the Internet era.”

"Okay, okay, I see." Claude laughed and raised his hands, and then he looked at him with a look of nostalgia, "Frankly speaking, Ed, I always remember when you treated me When describing the future... I am very happy to watch these, to see your prophecies come true one by one."

Hearing these sincere words of sentimentality, Adrian couldn't help but sighed softly: "Without your support, I would not be able to realize these ideas one by one. Without the support of the godfather and uncle, we would not be able to do this step, right? ?"

Claude sat up straight with a smile: "So, remember to ask Victor for this kind of thing in the future, because I will definitely give him the greatest support."

"You guy." Adrian rolled his eyes immediately.

There is no doubt that uTube is ready to be put on the agenda. Compared with k, which can only show value after reaching a certain number of users, uTube can develop the media business more quickly. Not to mention anything else, just a movie trailer for viral marketing can produce far higher effects than other media. It can be said that after the emergence of uTube, viral marketing in the Internet age was truly established and reached its peak.

So Adrian insisted on acquiring a early on. Also because it confused the company, it acquired some of the shares of the be company. Now K's operation is very good, and it is completely free to listen to. Then Adrian consulted and discussed with the programmers of A. After confirming that the latest version of Flash Player can meet the requirements, he immediately exchanged opinions with Victor.

Victor's talent has been fully utilized now, among other things, just because he gave up Adrian's recommendation, the one in the k trio who made the glasses, and he liked Andy who showed his ambition very much. • Allman. Instead, he chose Blair Vuitton, who looked ugly but was quite passionate and energetic, as his deputy, and Andy Allman knew it without complaining at all.

So the only thing left is to get Claude's unreserved support. Now that the last thing has been done, there is only one of the three key websites left, and there is no technical problem with this one. Wait for uTube to go online and stabilize It can start after development, and it should not exceed the end of next year at the latest.

It's time to enter June. The weather in Los Angeles is also getting hotter, but this does not prevent critics from still discussing a certain documentary in the media. In a sense, winning the Palme d'Or for "Fahrenheit 9/11" means that the French have given Americans a big slap in the face. Still a little small.

But whatever. After all, a slap is a slap. Even though there are not many French judges in this year's jury, everyone knows what happened. So the conservatives who support the Republican Party in the United States began to criticize Moore and his "Fahrenheit 9/11" on various occasions. Conduct verbal criticism and criticize him to nothing. This has happened once before. Moore is no one to keep a low profile, and despite overtime production to make it to the Cannes Film Festival in May, he found time to get the word out about his new film after winning the Best Documentary Oscar.

At that time, although many people supported him, they were not very strong. After all, he was talking about 911, which was a big wound for Americans. It is better to keep some before seeing the specific content, so during the period from April to the first half of May, there were very few voices supporting him.

But it’s different now, “Fahrenheit 9/11” won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and according to the descriptions of those who have seen it, the whole documentary is basically attacking the Bush administration, without touching too much Those who support the Democratic Party will naturally come out to debate with those who support the Republican Party. As a result, more people applauded "Fahrenheit 9/11".

Anyway, this does not harm the interests of the country. The documentary is only aimed at the government and some Republicans, and its reputation has already been made public. If the government suppresses it too hard, it will arouse people's doubts. Therefore, it will definitely be temporarily on the sidelines to show American democracy. And freedom, if they don't take advantage of this moment to talk about it, when will they have to wait?

As for the instigator's media, they still maintain a neutral face, but there are gossip that the two bosses were completely ignorant of Miramax's actions and were very angry in private. Of course, not everyone believed it, and many guys who seemed to be watching a good show scoffed at it, didn't they know? how is this possible! I'm afraid it was planned long ago to embarrass the Bush administration, and Miramax is just a prepared scapegoat.

They also have motives. Don’t forget that when the media bought AT\u0026adband at the beginning, they were blocked, but as soon as Bush Jr. came to power, the deal was completed. Let’s talk about the performance in the latter part of the university in 2000. It is obviously impossible to be tricky. However, in the past two years, the Bush administration has fought fiercely with News Corporation, which has taken the initiative to approach, and has given News Corporation a lot of special treatment, and News Corporation and the media compete in many aspects, so the media took this opportunity to express their dissatisfaction It is also very possible.

But then there was another news that the Weinstein brothers seemed to be very unhappy after their meeting with Crowder, the president of the media. It is said that the Weinstein brothers have been looking very ugly after returning to Miramax. There is a lot of evidence for this news, at least Harvey Weinstein's face will immediately darken when this is mentioned when he attends various gatherings. Then he murmured a few words with dissatisfaction and changed the subject.

But what is interesting is that the media did not punish Miramax. Although they also thought that their production and distribution of "Fahrenheit 9/11" in private was very bad, they did not order them to give up this documentary, let alone take Wayne. Brother Stan, the meaning of changing Miramax to someone else, in short, seems very ambiguous.

So when all these news were combined, it finally became that the media really didn't know about it, and they were very dissatisfied with the Weinstein brothers. But after all, Miramax is its own property, and it took this opportunity to show its neutral attitude—that is, to express dissatisfaction—so it finally acquiesced in this matter. It has to be said that it basically conforms to Adrian's plan.

"I need to make up, Ed, you don't know how uncomfortable I have been during this time, every time I put on a dissatisfied look in public, as if I have a deep hatred with you, and I can't hide in the office like Bob I'm just a producer. Ed, not an actor." Harvey Weinstein's complaining voice came from the phone to Adrian's ear.

"You did a good job, Harvey, very good, I'm very happy, so keep it up. At least until the release of "Fahrenheit 9/11." Adrian said on the phone, lying on a deck chair by the pool, The other hand was grasping the waist of Lin Xilei, who was riding up and down on her body in a bikini.

"What? Don't be kidding, you need to know that the release must at least..." Before Weinstein could continue, Adrian turned off the phone, straightened his lower body and began to hiss and breathe.

Lin Xilei twisted even more. Moaning and rubbing his hair, although the bikini is still soft, but the joyful beating makes people have higher desire than nothing. Finally, with a long moan, she tensed her body, and after a few seconds, she limply crawled on Adrian's body.

"I'm sorry, boss." After the gentle kiss, Lin Xilei whispered with winking eyes.

"It's okay, anyway, you have a lot of opportunities to make up." Adrian didn't care, and then looked at the two women who were actually playing in the swimming pool.

Lin Chiling and Gao Yuanyuan, who were also wearing bikinis, were laughing and having a water fight. They didn't seem to notice Adrian and Lin Xilei on the deck chairs, but they actually glanced over here from time to time. The difference is that Lin Chiling is used to it, but Gao Yuanyuan still blush.

Wait until the bottom softens. After tidying up and putting on his swimming trunks, Adrian plunged into the swimming pool and swam to the two women.

"Yuanyuan, do you feel better now?" After hugging them from left to right, he asked with a smile, "As I said, swimming is one of the best ways to relieve your mood in summer. "

"Hmm..." Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"That's not true," Lin Chiling interrupted coquettishly, "Yuanyuan is in a good mood because she talked with her family before. Men always like to take all the credit for themselves."

"Is that so?" Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Yuanyuan.

"That's not true. Sister Zhiling just mentioned one aspect. It's really nice to hear the news that my parents are safe, but swimming is also very refreshing." Gao Yuanyuan explained with her eyes shifting.

"You can't please both sides, Yuanyuan." Lin Xilei, who had also packed up, plopped into the swimming pool and rushed over, grabbed Gao Yuanyuan's arm and said with a smile.

"That's right, I was talking for you just now, Yuanyuan." Lin Chiling also laughed and grabbed her other arm, "So I want to punish you."

Gao Yuanyuan realized something was wrong, but before she could make a move, Shuanglin had already set her up in the water from left to right, lifted her up out of the water to face Adrian, and then pulled her thighs away. It's like carrying a present. Gao Yuanyuan struggled a few times, but was quite powerless, so she could only look at Adrian timidly.

"It's wrong for you to bully Yuanyuan like this." Although Adrian said so, he unceremoniously stuck it to Gao Yuanyuan's body and blocked her mouth. He didn't enjoy himself before, but after a few close stickings, he quickly He lifted it up again, and immediately started an in-depth communication with Gao Yuanyuan.

Afterwards, it was natural that the three women took turns fighting, fighting from the swimming pool to the shore and back to the water again. This kind of foursome has happened more than once or twice.

It is always easy to learn bad things. Gao Yuanyuan is alone in Los Angeles and cannot return to China because of the epidemic. Generally speaking, domestic requirements for performances are different from Hollywood requirements for performances. Although Adrian hand-picked her to play the role in "Battlestar Galactica", Lin Xilei, who lived with her in the United States, did not miss her. She instilled the idea that "even though the director of Miracle appointed her to play the role, if she is not competent, then she can only hand over the role".

In addition, although she has worked hard to integrate into American society, her social circle is relatively narrow, so it is easy to accumulate negative emotions and make people feel depressed. So, under the guidance of Adrian, she had a good way to vent, yes, sex.

After being happily sent to the cloud again and again on the bed, Gao Yuanyuan kept implying to herself, "There's nothing I can't do." Being able to be with Adrian, even being seen by Lin Xilei and Lin Chiling doesn't matter.

Moreover, she lived in Xilei Lin's villa, and Xilei Lin did not shy away from her relationship with Adrian. Gao Yuanyuan had seen Adrian and Xilei Lin making love in the villa more than once, so a threesome was a matter of course.

Next, the top and the back will fall. Except for a few friendly matches, most of the women have been passed by Adrian. How can Gao Yuanyuan be an exception? And this greatly stimulated her, no matter it was because of broken cans or other reasons, she began to open up more, games such as uniform play and taking pictures as souvenirs were not a problem, she accepted Lin Chiling's joining to play together 4p is even faster.

Of course, there will be such a situation, and Lin Chiling also put in a lot of effort. (To be continued..)
