King of Hollywood

Chapter 273 The Opportunity Is Just Right

"Look, three and two," Lily put the poker in her hand on the table, then looked at her father triumphantly, and shook the remaining cards in her hand, "Call the police, there are only two cards left."

"Well... yes." Frowning and glancing at the playing cards in his hand, Adrian said in a helpless tone, and then looked at Kate who was sitting opposite.

"No." Kate said in a calm tone, with no expression on her still delicate face, and at the same time put the cards in her hand on the coffee table.

"Yes! One-to-three!" The little guy shouted joyfully, put the paper in his hand heavily on the coffee table, then giggled and couldn't wait to get the note on the other side, and was about to slap his father in the face. He even waved his arms: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't play tricks, Dad!"

"Do you like doing this so much, Lily?" Adrian couldn't help asking, except for his two eyes, other parts of his face were already covered with paper strips, hanging down one by one, like shredded paper The box in the plane was dumped on the head.

"Don't be so wordy, I'll talk about it after I post it." The little guy shouted dissatisfiedly, stuck out his tongue and licked the note several times, and after the saliva soaked one end, he carefully observed Dad's face to find out After finding the position, he raised his hand and slapped the note to his right temple.

"Since it's a game invented by Dad, of course I should try it a few more times." After doing all this and observing carefully, Lily clapped her hands in satisfaction and said.

Looking at her daughter's triumphant appearance. Adrian was a little bit dumbfounded, well, he shouldn’t have taught her the punishment of fighting the landlord and the stickers, but...he couldn’t help but glanced at the same stickers on his face, but the number was much larger. Kate, who was much smaller than herself, still shuffled the cards with a calm face, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly upturned.

"Okay, baby, it's time to go to bed, it's late." Adrian said. The little guy shrugged, then raised his hands to Dad.

"How old are you, do you still want me to carry you to the bedroom?" Even so, he picked up his daughter, kissed her on the cheek, and walked upstairs.

Came to the little guy's bedroom, made the bed for her, and supervised her to finish washing. It wasn't until she climbed into bed that she got up and left: "Good night, dear, have a good dream."

"Father," Lily called him suddenly, her eyes flickering in the dark room, "will you live here today?"

"This..." Adrian scratched his head. "It's up to your mother to decide."

"Okay," the little guy sighed, "When will you be able to persuade mom to go back? It's not like your usual dad at all."

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What does dad usually look like?"

"Hmm..." Lily was about to speak when she suddenly showed a vigilant look. He looked Dad up and down, and suddenly pulled the quilt over his head, "I'm going to sleep."

Blinking his eyes, Adrian walked out with a smile and closed the door behind him. Well, it's like the little guy can guess without telling him. A big villain, always bullying his mother, always controlling everything and thinking that he is omnipotent balbalbal... These are either from Lily's own summary, or from the indoctrination of Kate or Charlize, they are not objective at all, but...

Adrian suddenly realized that this was a big problem, and it was nothing now. But when the little guy reaches the rebellious stage, it's hard to say. From a certain point of view, the growth of a child is a process of killing parents. From being obedient to their parents to building their own personality and three views step by step, this process must constantly deny their parents.

Everyone is an independent individual, no one is born to belong to anyone, even children and parents, Adrian is able to tie women by all means, adding circles of aura and powerful power did it. Therefore, family education is very important. It is related to whether the child can grow into an outstanding person. Parents always want their child to grow up in the way they plan for her, because it is good for her, but children are more willing to use their own Eyes to see the world, even if it is wrong, because she is an independent individual, this is an instinct.

Therefore, once it is not handled well, conflicts are inevitable. Adrian has been very careful to create a majestic, kind and communicative father image in front of Lily and her daughters, but it seems that the latter two points are done well, but the first point... who let the children have What about so many aunts?

Under such circumstances, Adrian will not be able to grasp the psychological state of his daughters very accurately. It is difficult to say how Lily will change when she enters the rebellious period. shaking out...

Don't tell Lily, what happened to Dad and Sister Emma was agreed upon by him, Kate, and little Emma respectively. No one can predict the reaction of the little guy. The accident happened, and it was agreed to keep her a secret for the time being, and it would not be too late to talk about it when she was a little older and had a basically perfect three views.

"Even so, it's still a ticking bomb." Adrian, who came downstairs, muttered.

"What are you talking about?" Kate, who was still tidying up the living room, raised her head and asked.

"Well...it's nothing." Of course Adrian would not mention this matter at this time. "I'm talking about the media. They always like to exaggerate everything, even the most famous and serious newspapers."

"Aren't they your dogs?" Kate sneered slightly.

"Not all." Adrian shrugged. "I knew those guys would write my name on it. I should have listened to them carefully instead of nodding casually."

"This is what you have done." Kate glanced at her, and the sarcasm in her tone became stronger.

Adrian couldn't help but rolled her eyes, she was still so rude after so long, but then again, it was indeed her own fault. The whole thing is actually quite simple. Although October is the peak season for TV dramas and the second off-season for movies, there are still many movies that choose to be released at this time, such as the low-cost campus comedy "Admission Notice" in which Leighton Meester plays the leading role.

Of course, because Halloween is at the end of the month, there are many horror movies, among them... Bosworth's new horror and bloody movie: "Chain Saw".

As I said before, the first few minutes of this movie are relatively mediocre, not much different from ordinary horror movies, and it does a better job of suspense. But at the last minute, when the old man who was originally a corpse got up from the ground and announced that the game was over. It suddenly raised the level of the whole movie to a higher level.

This shocking feeling of playing with everyone, including the audience in front of the screen, could conquer 99% of people in previous lives, and now it is no exception. Therefore, although the film was released with mixed reviews, many film critics also sarcastically called it a vulgar story of a pervert who thought he was a god and manipulated the lives and deaths of others through cruel games. But ordinary people still say that this is the best thriller movie of the year.

In addition, Bosworth's new team is also working well day by day. Although "Chain Saw" did not participate in activities such as the Sundance Film Festival to increase its popularity, under their publicity, it got the first day of release. With a box office of 7 million, the cost was easily recovered, so naturally those comments should not be taken to heart.

It's okay if it's just that. There are only a few films that have both word-of-mouth and box office, and the investment is extremely low. Since it is impossible to have both, of course the one with the greatest profit must be chosen. But the problem is, they happen to be at the time of release. I wrote Adrian's name in the screenwriter's column. Although it was ranked after the two screenwriters, it was released to the public after all.

In this way, some guys were given a chance, and they jumped out to attack—well, they couldn't say attack, anyway, they kept declaring in their columns or other media. The script of the movie "Chain Saw" is completely inconsistent with the identity of Adrianna's ace screenwriter. This is a complete mistake.

Then, they further guide readers to make associations with "the ace screenwriter has begun to show signs of going downhill" and initiate discussions. Adrian, a well-known figure, a great director, philanthropist, patriot and media tycoon, has written whether it is appropriate to tell a story that promotes anarchism.

As many people like it, as many people hate it, usually because of his power or because of his works. These people who don't like him can only hold back no matter how upset they are, but once they seize the opportunity, they have to jump out and jump a few times.

Of course, this is not of much practical use, at most it is just disgusting, after all, they are facing a media tycoon. Even so, Adrian still felt, how should I put it, the feeling of being shot while lying down. When discussing this script, he used the brainstorming method. In fact, he used this method to communicate with other screenwriters for many scripts. Everyone sat down and drank beer and chatted, and then you said what I said. The story pieced together.

When discussing the script of "Chain Saw", Adrian didn't make a sound, he just threw out an outline for them to discuss, and then inserted a sentence from time to time to lead the topic to the direction he wanted. The most talked about in the whole process was at the end. He asked them, if the mastermind behind the scene appeared in a different way, for example, in the beginning, he designed a person who was killed and crawled there, bleeding all over the place. In the end, he stood up in front of the person who stayed in the room and announced the end of the game. Wouldn't it be more shocking?

In short, apart from these, most of the work was done by the screenwriters, but when the film was finished and ready to be released in October this year, Bosworth asked Adrian if he could use his fame in the promotion. Adrian originally thought that they would say that director Miracle was very optimistic about this movie during the publicity, but he didn't expect that they would actually put their names in the screenwriter column. If they asked a few more questions at that time, He certainly would not agree.

"Okay, let yourself suffer." Adrian shrugged and changed the topic, "Speaking of which, do you plan to take a break for these few months?"

"Is there any problem?" Kate took the packed dishes and went into the kitchen. Every time Adrian came here, she didn't leave the servants at home, and she had to pack everything by herself.

"Of course not," Adrian followed to the kitchen and leaned against the door frame, "I just think that there is a script that is very suitable for you, and I hope you can consider it."

"I already have a film appointment, Ed." Kate said without looking back.

"So what? Sophie is also directing her first feature-length film, but she still agreed to play the heroine of "The Da Vinci Code", as long as it is delayed a little bit later." Adrian said with a shrug.

For high-grossing movies, Adrian has never been caught in his own hands, so Dan Brown's novel has not been released yet, so he asked people to come to discuss the right to adapt it. This year, Universal asked DreamWorks to cooperate to prepare for the filming. The male lead was naturally Hanks, and the female lead was naturally handed over to the new actress Sophie.

Although Sophie began to transform into a director. But it's not bad for her to star in a high-quality movie from time to time, because of Adrian, the rumor that she has been in decline for three years has no place at all.

"I'll think about it." Kate said in a light tone.

Adrian couldn't help but touched his nose, so he had to change the subject again: "Then, you will always bring Lily to the party in two days' time? You shirked it the previous two times, and everyone thought it was very strange."

"Don't you have an excuse ready for me?" Kate finally looked back at him, and then quickly moved away.

"Of course, but it's not good to shirk every time. Isn't it?" Adrian continued to persuade this, "It's just a party, it's not a big deal, and you haven't given Megan any advice yet."

The gathering he was talking about was naturally a gathering among the mothers of several children. They discussed their children together to increase their relationship with each other, and at the same time they could exchange ideas. Even if they can't make them close like a family. At least they won't dislike each other. Looking at Hollywood and even the entire United States, only Adrian can do this kind of thing.

Such gatherings have always been held on a regular basis, and basically no one was absent, until Kate broke this practice. After she left his mansion because of little Emma. Although after a few days of entanglement, he finally calmed down under the guidance of little Emma and Charlize, and agreed with Lily to live back, but he never met Adrian.

It has been almost three weeks so far, and October is almost halfway through, and I also did not attend the two mother gatherings during this period. to this end. Adrian had to find a way to make up an excuse for her, keeping the whole thing in a small area so that it was not rumored that Charlize had proposed it specifically for Kate, and he agreed. However, it is a bit unreasonable not to attend three times in a row. In fact, when Kate did not go for the second time, Gwyneth was pushed out by others for insinuation.

Just last week, Kate finally relented and allowed Adrian to come and see her daughter - but not overnight - even though she still hasn't shown any desire to come back. But it is also a good progress. Adrian naturally seized the opportunity to go further. According to the next plan, he will go to Europe.

"I'll think about it." Kate still said the same thing.

"Hey, Kate, it's not okay to dismiss me like this," Adrian exclaimed, "I need definite answers."

"I said, I will think about it." Kate frowned and turned her head to stare at him. "If I don't think about it, how can I give you a definite answer?"

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned her head back, as if she didn't have the desire to look at him more, so Kate didn't know that the corners of Adrian's mouth curled up.

Even though it was only about ten seconds, he still clearly saw the hesitation in the corner of her eyes. What does that mean? It means that the consideration she said was not a perfunctory word, she was indeed hesitant, which is really... great!

"Okay, Kate." Adrian stepped forward and hugged the first woman after his rebirth from behind. She trembled slightly, and then tensed her body, but she didn't open his hand, nor did she Did not look back.

"I know that some things cannot go back, and I will never deny some mistakes, but... I still hope you can go back." Adrian put his head on her shoulders, "I know this request is neither It's polite and outrageous, but I'm going to say it anyway because...that's what I really think."

Kate didn't speak, but looking from the back side, she seemed to have closed her eyes, and her chest was also rising and falling, obviously very contradictory.

"Can I stay tonight?" Adrian immediately asked in her ear.

The girl in her arms trembled, looking along the back of her neck, her throat visibly moved, and her breathing became slightly rougher.

After a while, Kate slowly turned around, and looked up at Adrian closely: "...you should go back."

She was about to leave as she said, but she stretched out her hand but didn't push him away.

"Don't do this to me, okay?" Adrian said softly, holding her hand tighter.

"Should I say this to you, Ed!" Kate became a little excited, "It's like this every time, always forcing me to make choices, always forcing me to make choices you want! Get out of the way! I Warning, if you stop like this again, I will call the police and tell them you tried to rape me!"

She realized something was wrong just after she finished saying this, and looked at Adrian again, his eyes had become dangerous. In the next second, without waiting for Kate to react, he grabbed her and pressed her on the kitchen table, and swept the things down, making a ping-pong-pong sound.

"Stop, Ed!" Kate struggled in a panic, "Let me go!"

"Shh, Kate, keep your voice down," Adrian said with a smirk, "don't wake Lily up."

As he spoke, he leaned over and licked her face like so many villains.

"Damn it, you bastard!" Kate was angry and anxious, her arms and legs swaying even more violently, "Warning you, Ed, I was trained when I acted in action scenes. To kill you is to die."

Even so, Kate, who was stern and stern, didn't realize that there was... a little expectation in her fear.

"It's okay, I won't let you have a chance." Adrian laughed loudly, grabbed her thin T-shirt and pulled it violently, and it was pulled away with a loud bang.

There was a short scream. . . )
