King of Hollywood

"As expected of Rupert Murdoch, I thought he would hesitate for a while, but I didn't expect to agree." After coming out of the club, Claude sighed.

"Because he doesn't have a better choice, as an old fox, he knows how to do it better for him. We are indeed inferior to them, old guys who have worked hard for decades," Adrian shrugged. , "But in any case, our purpose has been achieved."

The so-called Yang Conspiracy, to put it simply, is that you have to jump in knowing that there is a pit ahead. Adrian and Claude do not want News Corp to make any substantial compensation, and even said they can help them through the current difficulties, as long as Murdoch steps down. Such a thing.

Once Murdoch leaves his current position, even if he can still control the News Corporation board firmly through his son, it is impossible to be as hands-on as before. Moreover, there are constant disputes within the Murdoch family. Without the suppression of the old Murdoch, there will inevitably be a fight between several children. Maybe the ex-wife who cares about his children will join in secretly, and it will cost a lot to deal with these. He has a lot of energy.

In this case, the pace of operation of News Corp. will inevitably slow down, and what problems this will lead to, the previous experiences of Adrian and Claude have been shown. Therefore, News Corp is bound to adopt a more conservative strategy in the future, and move forward with a mentality of not seeking success but seeking faultlessness for a long time. For other media groups, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity, so Redstone and the others There was hardly any talk after that.

Murdoch will definitely not be reconciled, but the problem is that this is already his best choice. Wall Street will indeed not watch the decline of News Corp. The reason why they have participated in the previous suppression of the media, and also participated in the suppression of the news now. group action. Mainly because they don't want to see an overly powerful media conglomerate. Just like Adrian's Hollywood strategy, Mu Xiu Yulin's words would be fine if only some tree tops pop up, but if there are too many, it will not be caught by strong winds.

Both the media and News Corporation have this ability, but News Corporation is always an outsider, and the media is too closed, so when there is an opportunity to suppress them, Wall Street does not hesitate to start. In fact, in another time and space. The reason why News Corp.'s wiretapping incident has fermented to that level is not unrelated to these behind-the-scenes actors.

In short, Wall Street may not let News Corp decline or even collapse, but it is happy to see Murdoch kicked out, and Adrian and Claude also put on a pair of "if you don't agree, then kick you out" attitude, then in the end it is natural to choose the lesser of two evils.

Besides, it's not that he can't turn over. The subtext of waiting for a while and then stepping down decently is the subtext. Give time for him to pave the way. Moreover, if you are used to the work behind the scenes, maybe it will play an unexpected role in the future. Adrian and Claude didn't really want to fight News Corp., it would only be cheaper for others. On the one hand, Murdoch's resignation gave the media plenty of time, and on the other hand, it was really decent in terms of face.

Therefore, Murdoch, who had been thinking about it for a long time before coming here, had carefully considered this situation. Finally agreed in person.

"Anyway, we won, and we won more than Murdoch." Adrian smiled and said again.

"That's right. Winning is more thorough." Claude gave him a complicated look.

Well, the subprime mortgage crisis was predicted by him again, and he was aware of Madoff's fraud case and used it so cleverly, even when he arranged for the "News of the World", he thought it was just an idle move... However, that So what?

"You're right, Ed," Claude held out his fist, "as long as we're close, no one can beat us."

Adrian laughed, stretched out his fist and touched him: "Of course, we are the best partners, the best brothers."

The two laughed without any barriers, walked down the steps, and walked to the club's parking lot.

"By the way, that reporter, what are you going to do?"

"In two weeks, people will find the wreck of his car under the cliffs by the sea, and then conspiracy theories will pop up one by one, and then - Northern Europe is a good place to retire."

"Okay, you've thought about it... Then how about we go for a drink now?"

"Um...sorry, Crowe, I have an appointment this afternoon."

"Oh, hell, who is it this time?"

"Ashley Greene, like Brooklyn Decker, plays an important role in the upcoming Twilight Saga, a very flavorful little girl."

"Wait, you weren't with that so-called celebrity before, what's your name... Olivia Wilde? Is that the name?"

"It's Olivia Palermo. Although they are both called Olivia, they have different surnames. Isn't there a hype that Olivia Palermo is the prototype of Blair in "Gossip Girl"? Since that's the case , of course I want to call her over to take a look. In short, it's alright, her temperament is indeed better than that of Leighton, but her figure is slightly worse, more like a young version of Julia. Of course, I do have a relationship with Austrian Livia Wilde dated and she was as hot as the little fox, but unfortunately..."

"Okay, alright, don't say that you are hunting Yanshi in front of me."

"Ha ha."

The subprime mortgage crisis is still spreading, housing loan companies continue to go bankrupt, and the financial market is chaotic. When the financial crisis comes, people will always hide in the movie theater to relax and stay away from troubles through various movies. Even if News Corporation is plagued by wiretapping incidents, Fox Pictures is still profitable.

Therefore, Adrian also continued his legend, especially after 2007, when the Oscar nomination list was announced in early 2008, countless people were depressed or resentful again.

Although he didn't nominate too many awards this time, the two most important awards, best film and best director, but the nominations for best actress and... best foreign language film still pulled enough hatred. Yes, at the end of December 2007, Adrian Cowell, who had been resting for more than a year as a Marvel director or super director, launched his new work, a movie about the Japanese funeral industry.

Most of the dialogue is in Japanese, with very few in English. Then there are Japanese funds, and the response is very good, so there is no difficulty in the nomination of the best foreign language film. Immediately, many people were not calm again. A writer for Variety magazine even wrote in a joking tone in his online column: Does Director Marvel plan to win all the Oscars once?

Of course, there is also Yukie Nakama's best actress. This is the first time in nearly 30 years that an Asian has been nominated for the best actress. That's absolutely big news. It is precisely because of this that when the female version of "The Undertaker" landed in Japan and North America at the same time, the evaluation in Japan was divided into two extremes. It is praised that the director of Miracle has accurately grasped the cultural essence of the Yamato nation, and even local directors may not be able to produce such wonderful works. It's hard to say so. After all, the scenes in the 80's completely restored the daily life of the Japanese, so the firepower was concentrated on things such as "understanding is still too superficial", "forcibly inserting American culture is awkward" and so on.

On the other hand, in North America, probably because most people have never seen the rural life in Japan, they praise the exotic customs and life thinking of different cultures.

However, after the nomination list came out, this kind of voice from the Japanese side died down, and there was nothing left, and then sang praises like North America. The Best Foreign Language Film nomination is one reason. Yukie Nakama's best actress is another reason, Yukie has been holding a green card until now - anyway, with Adrian there, she can be naturalized at any time - so even if she has lived in the US for more than ten years , but still a Japanese citizen.

so. Yukie, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, instantly became a model for Japanese entertainers, so the Japanese critics quickly unified their caliber. Change your face fast. It is amazing, and it can also be seen from here how deep the influence of the United States on Japan is.

Of course, more importantly. Their eyes are still on the Oscars. Not only Japanese, Americans, Asians, all are very concerned, because... this is the work of the miracle director who has won countless miracle girls!

Unfortunately, Americans were relieved, and Asians were disappointed, and the best actress finally fell to Helen Mirren, who starred in "The Queen", which was delayed by a year. Although in the history of the Oscars, it is not that no Japanese have won the best actress, but it was in the 1950s and 1960s, and now, unless there are very special circumstances, it is impossible to have the best actress of Asian descent.

Interestingly, despite this, there are still mainland netizens complaining that when the director of Miracle directs a movie about China would be good.

It is also worth mentioning that Kate was nominated for a best actress again this year, with the film "Truth Comes First", which is undoubtedly Adrian's bad taste.

The music is a little worse, but it is also eye-catching. After Adrian's careful planning, Christina won a record-breaking six gold gramophones at the Grammys at the beginning of the year, which made the whole music world look up. Her album may not be as good as Britney's super album in sales, but it will definitely leave a mark on Grammy's history.

Of course, this also caused Britney, Avril, and Taylor to unite that night and do everything possible to squeeze Adrian. What's interesting is that this is still Avril's lead, and Tyler is beside him, and Britney is marginalized - after the Madoff fraud case was revealed, Adrian got Scott Swift in by the way. Get it out in a few days.

After learning that he and Madoff had interacted with him at work, Adrian made this calculation, but it was not easy for Madoff to be brought down at that time, and Taylor also had other weaknesses, so he didn't use it. Now that she was beaten so indirectly, and because she took advantage of Taylor's playful psychology, she was a little carried away, so he was completely obedient and pinched her in his hand.

This is the case in movies and music, and the same is true in terms of hunting. After the release of "Twilight", Amanda Pitt and January Jones also failed to run away, and it didn't take long for "Desperate Housewives" to do. A scrimmage without Kristen, Amber and Dakota under the influence of marijuana.

Originally, he really wanted to play the girls in "Gossip Girl" like this, but firstly Amber and Teresa have not reached this point, and secondly, Jamie's age is still a little too young-- It's not that it can't be done, Britney was eaten at this time. The main thing is to prevent old Spears from doing stupid things, his vision is too short-sighted, and Jamie is not under the influence of him for a long time like Britney, so he can only wait.

But it doesn't matter, there is no gain here. After the release of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" in 2007, "The Half-Blood Prince" was quickly put on the agenda, and naturally, Lavender Brown's casting activities were also put on the agenda. Under the intervention of Adrian, who played his vacancy again, Rosie Jones from Surrey, England, got the role. No accident, he personally checked her on the bed, especially the pair comparable to Keeley. of the chest.

So, as the Harry Potter series draws closer to the end, the "schoolgirls who fell into the hands of the Death Eaters" will probably also be mentioned.

and. Adrian's pursuit of beauty is not limited to this. When Nastya Liukin of the US women's gymnastics team won the women's all-around championship with elegant and attractive moves at the National Gymnasium on August 15, 2008, only the team's Instructed by the coach, she did not live in the Olympic Village two nights before the competition, but groaned softly under a man in a room on the top floor of the Pangu Grand View Hotel.

It seems that it is not entirely false that sex makes female gymnasts better, of course, in moderation. A few days later in the women's team, it was precisely because of a mistake by Nastya that the silver medal that should have belonged to the US team became a bronze medal.

Although I have tasted the taste of a gymnast in Khorkina for a long time, despite her retained tenacity, she can still perform many difficult movements. But the age is still a little older, so Adrian wants to try something younger. Especially at the end of the summer vacation in 2007, after Nina Dobrev obediently undressed through "The Vampire Diaries", a relatively amateur gymnast had a lot of fun. So I simply took the famous Nastya Liukin in the United States.

For a Russian immigrant family like them, it would be great to be able to hug their thighs.

Not only that. The famous so-called first beauty in Silicon Valley, gle's vice president, Marissa Mayer, was also used by him - although Adrian had teased Marisa before, but the other party didn't buy it very much, but it's a pity that he After getting serious, she still quickly fainted.

That's how he is, always getting what he wants, always doing miracles, as if nothing can't be done. He represents Hollywood, and he may not be able to rule here as he pleases. Although, like the President of the United States, he is often the spokesman for interest groups, but his influence cannot be ignored. He is more like... the king of Hollywood!

The car door opened, and the flashing lights on both sides of the red carpet began to flash rapidly. Even though there were people in the crowd who kept exclaiming in low voices, the speed of pressing the shutter did not decrease.

A decent suit, angular facial features, slightly protruding stubble, slightly raised mouth corners, both serious and friendly, as if they can become friends at any time, but with a sense of mystery.

Women like him because he can make them happy with just a few words; men like him because he's good at unraveling them; actors like him because he represents opportunity; producers because his movies always sell well ; reporters like him because they can always find big news in him; film academies like him because he always unearths many high-quality films that meet the taste of American society; Wall Street likes him because he can always find more valuable investment projects; the left likes him because his work is always appetizing to them; the right likes him because his wealth and background make him a natural on their side.

Women hate him because he always wants to have sex with them; men hate him because he is good at grabbing women and can always grab them; actors hate him, especially male actors, because they have less advantage than actresses; producers hate him, Because he owns all the big-selling movies; reporters hate him because his bottom line is high and changes at any time, and anyone who touches the bottom line will not end well; film academies hate him because he has taken too many Oscars; Wall Street hates him because he keeps his stuff tight and doesn't let them do it; the left hates him because his wealth and background make him a natural opponent; the right hates him because of his works and some of his speeches Always tend to be pie-in-the-sky.

However, whether you like it or hate it, whether you love it or hate it, you can't deny that he, Adrian Cowell, is the well-deserved king of Hollywood.

"This is the first time you have appeared on the Oscar's red carpet holding a woman, right? Your Majesty?" Kate, who was in a white high-cut evening dress walking arm in arm with him, got out of the car and approached him. asked in the ear.

"Of course, dear." Adrian chuckled, "Is there a problem?"

"You're not worried now?" Kate snorted.

"What's there to worry about? This is the 81st Oscars, and there will be many in the future, so they will also have a chance." Adrian recklessly stretched out his hand and flicked her face in the flashing light, "I Will slowly introduce them to everyone, of course, you are the first, always the first."

Then, he laughed: "Let's worry about now, although your acting skills are very good, although I personally directed "Suspicious Clouds", but there is an example of "The Undertaker", will the judges still give My face?"

Kate glared at him, but didn't say anything, just pulled his arms tighter, and just stepped on the red carpet, walking slowly towards the hallowed venue of the Oscars under the eyes of so many eyes. To be continued.

ps: Phew... don't worry, there is also the end of the big chapter to explain, it is guaranteed to be exciting
