King of Hollywood

"Remember what I said at the beginning?" After everyone left the conference room, Claude immediately looked at Adrian with a look of asking questions.

"I know, but I just read a short message." Adrian shrugged nonchalantly, and did not raise his gaze on his mobile phone at all. "By the way, test our new website."

"What short message must be read during the meeting?" Claude raised his eyebrows.

"It's nothing." Adrian finally raised his head. He didn't want to explain to him what "the pigeons started eating bread crumbs" meant. "A good news or a bad news, which one do you plan to hear first?"

"Speak directly." Claude made a gesture of invitation.

"The good news is that tter has already sent text messages to friends' mobile phones, but the bad news is that it is still a long way from my request, and it may take several weeks to complete." Adrian sighed.

"This is all good news, don't you want to use a semi-finished product to occupy the market," Claude said and raised his hand to stop Adrian from speaking, "Don't worry about that, Ed, even if someone else launched it before us A service like that is fine, I don't believe any media conglomerate will do research on this except us, oh, it's nice to have a chairman with a forward-looking vision for the internet, right?"

"It's really rare, I said, I like this flattery, Crow." Adrian stood up with a laugh, and then the two left the conference room together.

"The European side is basically settled. The rest is just continuous investment. Chelsea will help us expand the channel, although it will take several years."

"You have great faith in that Portuguese."

"Of course, my eyes are always the best, and you admit it, don't you—speaking of which, how did your talk with Jerry Jones go?"

"He has let go. After all, he is the best in sports among the major public television stations. This combination is not a bad thing for the Dallas Cowboys, of course. Mr. Neil Bush also helped."

"Wow, it looks like they're serious, need to suppress "Fahrenheit 9/11" a little bit?"

"Not for the time being. Michael Moore can't make any waves. It depends on the final transaction. In fact, I'm still thinking about whether I want to help and keep the popularity of "Fahrenheit 9/11" until the summer vacation. Sometimes, This documentary can also serve as a good counterproductive."

The two talked like this, all the way to the door of Claude's office, and then Adrian was about to leave.

"Of course, I still have to supervise the later stage of the movie, and then prepare for the next public relations. At the same time, there is a movie to start shooting in March and an appointment." Facing Claude's somewhat surprised question, Ah Derian said so.

"Dating?" Claude sighed, "Yeah, your dating is endless, I'm really curious. After so many years, they don't complain at all."

"This is a matter of personal ability," Adrian laughed, and then patted his best friend on the shoulder, "I know you are jealous, Crowe. Don't worry, show it boldly, this is your way to marriage One of the few before the grave, it's time to let off steam—have you figured out how to spend your bachelor party?"

"You can't wait any longer, Ed?" Claude rolled his eyes.

"Of course, I can't wait to appear in front of you and Helen hugging each other." Adrian laughed, and flew away under Claude's almost murderous eyes.

Claude and Helen are engaged without any suspense, although there is no specific wedding date yet. However, Adrian believes that it will not exceed this year. Every time he takes his daughters to visit the godfather, the godfather will half complain and ask Claude when he will have his own child. This kind of marriage is generally not allowed to be married with a child, so once Diane was sure she was pregnant, she hurriedly held a wedding with Victor. If you want to have a child, you must get married first.

"Poor Claude." Adrian sighed unconscionably, and then came to the post-production studio.

There are not many things in January. For example, the official premieres of "Warmth Contains Light" and "Life of Roses" are held, and various awards activities are about to be officially launched. It will take time to deal with these, but Adrian The main energy is still on the post-production of "Indomitable".

As an art film, "Warmth Contains Light" did not do well at the box office, but it still maintained a good reputation. With Kim Carrey as a foil, Kate's acting skills were further praised. However, the praise of "La Vie en Rose" has declined slightly. The key lies in Sophie's acting skills. Those who think it is good think her acting is very good, and those who think it is not good express that it is terrible.

Interestingly, most of the former opinions are American critics, while most of the latter opinions are European critics, and 70% of them are in France. One can imagine the twists and turns. Weinstein liked the situation, and, as he puts it, the involuntary confrontation only made him more certain.

So although Adrian was a little bit worried, after all, it hadn't been long since the last Oscar handed over the best actress to a European actress, but he didn't take it too seriously. So he attended the premiere with Sophie as usual, and like the previous premieres, he and Sophie appeared more intimate on the red carpet, adding a lot of talk to the public.

Interestingly, because Universal's "Matrix 3", "Lord of the Rings 3" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" easily swept through the entire December of 2003, and the aftermath continued until 2004 The January low has not completely passed, so some movies have been changed to January 2004, such as "The Last Samurai" starring Tom Cruise released by DreamWorks. Ying got his ticket to the Oscars.

For this reason, Spielberg also complained to him at a party: "If you do this every year, then no film company dares to arrange its own movies to be released at the end of the year."

Of course, this was a joke, and he didn't really care about it. After the animation department was separated to form a brand new DreamWorks Animation Studio, the media's support for DreamWorks has increased a lot, which made the Big Three somewhat relieved. tone.

However, in Adrian's view, this is just to delay the death of DreamWorks by two or three years. The Big Three are not very good at running media groups. Katzenberg is more suitable for animation, and Geffen's idealism takes More. Although Spielberg is a businessman when he puts down the camera, he still compares it most of the time. And they don't have anyone who can support the development of the entire group on their own. Although it is always said that if DreamWorks is short of money, it can be solved by pulling Spielberg out to make a movie, but it is still not as good as Adrian's. abnormal.

Of course, he won't say much, anyway, most of the equity of DreamWorks Animation Studio has already been acquired, at least within five to seven years. No one in the animated film industry can compete with the media that owns Pixar, Blue Sky and DreamWorks.

"Wait, here, I need the light to be brighter, and then link this shot with the one just now... Shot No. 53." Sitting in a chair, watching the editors use the equipment to adjust and cut the original shot Adrian, after calling them over. Refer to the words on the screen and say so.

In his current position, generally speaking, the post-production is handed over to the editor, and only in very special cases will he do it himself.

"Very good, come back and let me watch this paragraph again... Not bad. Let's move on to the next paragraph." After watching it repeatedly, he was sure that he had achieved the effect he wanted, and Adrian then asked them to continue.

But he didn't supervise from the side, but got up and went to another room. After all, Adrian was not in the studio all the time, so they finished work first for many shots. Then he came over and exchanged some of the work of the day before going to check the previous ones. Of course, even if he wasn't in the studio, he would have learned about those shots through the Internet, so it took a lot of time to check.

"Very good, that's it... Let me think about it, um, singing all the songs myself can be the main publicity point at that time." Adrian rubbed his chin and muttered to himself. Natalie in the picture is singing loudly. The training before shooting allowed her to control her voice very well. With the dressing in the 1950s and 1960s and the vivid pictures, the nostalgic taste is very comfortable.

One of the great things about "Moving Forward", or one of the most popular aspects of the film school, is that all the songs are sung by actors, and they are very original-of course, this uses some small techniques, but these Small tech is not against the rules. This brings the actors closer to the two famous country singers in history. What kind of Dharma appearance and how many eyes it will attract can be imagined on your knees.

However, even so, Adrian still can't take it lightly if he wants to achieve his goal. If Sophie can reach the top this year, basically he has won his woman as the best actress for six consecutive years. In this case, even if the film academy still gives him face, other film companies or producers will definitely be dissatisfied. They are also a big force, so it will be very difficult to continue, even if Weinstein helps public relations.

It's just that Adrian still has a back hand, and he has been researching and preparing some things for a long time. Moreover, his biggest plan has been fully implemented in the past two years. It can be regarded as an achievement that has never been seen before, and may even be unprecedented. He has fully considered all the circumstances, and the chance of failure is very small. Together, it can make his plan achieve greater results.

"The King of Hollywood..." Adrian read it in a low voice, then stretched his waist with a smile, what could be more pleasant than letting the world turn in his hands? Oh, yes, he looked at Natalie on the screen again, watching his prey fall into the trap step by step, although he couldn't exceed it, it was equally enjoyable.

Generally speaking, eating dinner is a date, going to a drinking party and party together is a date, singing and dancing in a nightclub is also a date, and going for a drive is still a date, but it does not mean that you have to go out when you are dating.

"...After you left, I counted the days you left every day. Do you know how much I need you now?" The guitar and singing stopped abruptly here. The girl frowned, as if she was not very satisfied with the lyrics.

"Do you think...the lyrics are a bit weird?" She asked aloud and moved her legs at the same time, but the man who was pillowing her thigh and covering his face with a book didn't respond at all.

"Ed!" the girl raised her voice.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Adrian immediately bounced up, and asked in a panic, "Did something happen?"

"I was writing a song for you, but you fell asleep?" The girl suddenly widened her eyes and glared at him.

"Hmm... this..." Adrian gestured hesitantly, and looked at each other for a long while, until the girl bit her lips angrily. He suddenly burst out laughing.

"Oh, I wish I had a mirror in my hand right now, Wei Niu, it's so interesting to see what you look like." Adrian said with a big laugh, "Do you really think I'm asleep?" I watch carefully every day. Count the days you're gone', I love that line, actually. I love all the lines!"

Avril was stunned at first, then became annoyed, stared at him fiercely, and finally rushed over with a cry, and pressed him on the sofa who was caught off guard, opening her mouth to show her small tiger teeth and was about to bite.

"Hey. Wait, wait! You're not a puppy, Wei Niu." Adrian hurriedly stopped while smiling.

"If you don't give you a profound lesson, you won't restrain yourself." Avril yelled, gnashing her teeth.

The two of them fought on the sofa for quite a while, and they didn't stop until the girl exhausted her strength.

"I still think the lyrics are not very good. What about you?" Avril, who was crawling on Adrian's chest, brought up the original topic again.

"Let me think about it...Actually, the lyrics and music are very good..." Adrian nodded his forehead with his hand, suddenly got up and brought the guitar over, plucked the strings a few times, and then started playing and singing.

His voice is still good, and the lyrics are very familiar. It doesn't have a taste to sing. Avril Lavigne made a disdainful expression at first, but then she was attracted attention, closed her eyes and tapped on the armrest with her fingers following the beat.

"You sang well." After the end, she boasted so "generously".

"Thank you, I said it, I like this song very much," Adrian smiled, and suddenly leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, "I can hear what you want to say from it."

Avril immediately became a little awkward. His eyes looked away, his lips were pursed, and he looked unhappy that his mind had been found out.

Adrian shrugged and didn't continue, but returned the guitar to her: "You can try to omit the ending, especially the few lines before the chorus."

The girl's attention was immediately shifted to the song, she plucked the strings and began to sing, while Adrian listened carefully with his chin resting on his hand.

"Well, this change is really good, but it's not enough," Avril said, picking up the small notebook and pen on the coffee table, and then quickly wrote down her feelings, "But I think I have found a breakthrough, and I will wait until next year There must be a better way to go to the studio."

"So where is my reward?" Adrian approached her with a slanderous face.

The girl gave him a sideways glance, but then she lifted his face and kissed him heavily on the top of his mouth. Adrian raised his eyebrows, and immediately tasted the little tongue she offered. As before, Avril, who was able to take the initiative at the beginning, was soon weakened by his kisses. If Adrian pursued the victory, it would be no problem to strip her naked and eat her now.

"I knew it." Avril Lavigne, who was leaning softly in his arms, said in an angry tone.

"Oh, who made you so cute and beautiful, Wei Niu?" Adrian laughed while sucking her earballs, and his hands holding her were also hesitant.

"What do you want to do again?" The girl immediately grabbed his hand and asked in a questioning tone.

"Why, can't I say that?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Every time you say that, you will...you will..." Avril suddenly thought of something when she said this, her face flushed, and she turned her head to the side.

After being stunned for about a second, Adrian came to his senses, and then his smile became meaningful. It was really rare, and he just took advantage of it.

"Well, there is something I really want to do, tonight..." He said a few words in his lowest voice as he leaned close to her ear.

Avril was a little dazed at first, then opened her eyes wide, and finally looked at him with anger and disgust: "You... how could you ask me to eat that kind of thing!"

"It's just a taste, and there's no harm in it, there's a lot of protein." Adrian coaxed.

"I... I won't, don't want me to do such a thing!" The girl sternly refused.

"Why?" Adrian blinked, "You must give me a reason? Besides, it's not like you haven't used your mouth before..."

Hearing this, Avril became angry again, and looked at him with gritted teeth: "It's not because of you!"

"But you said, that heather smells good." His smile just got worse.

The girl became even more vicious, as if she would jump up and grab him at any time and bite him a few bites, just like she did after being teased before, but after staring at him for a long while, her face flushed and she turned her head away again.

Adrian was not in a hurry, just hugged her in his arms and waited patiently. Finally, Avril's voice was as low as a mosquito: "Okay... okay..."

Oh, this is really a beautiful answer, you must know that she was not willing to write some pornographic songs before, and the photos she took were mainly aesthetic, but after today...

"Wait," Avril suddenly reached out and grabbed Adrian by the collar, pulling him in front of her, "I can do this, but—"

Her smile became cold: "If I feel disgusting, I will spit them in your face!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, yours Support is my greatest motivation.)
