King of Hollywood

Chapter 21 The Big Apple

(It is generally clear what the problem is and I am confident that similar instances of constant audit will not occur again in the future. Yeah, that's it.

(Adjusted below)

Two weeks soon passed and the Venetian Film Festival gradually came to an end, although the headlines had only just begun. For all kinds of film festivals, the most eye-catching ceremony is the awards ceremony, especially this year with a number of outstanding exhibitions. Like The Death of Stern in England, The Angel at My Table in New Zealand, The Mirror Man in Chile, or The Good Guy in America, and, of course, surprisingly, new American director Adrian? "Two Big Smoke Guns" by Colwell in pure English black humor.

So far, "Two Big Smoke Guns" has been largely in the top five spotlight at the festival, except that 60 per cent of the spotlight comes from that messy but orderly shooting technique, while 40 per cent comes from the director's nationality and film style. It is well known that because of a series of factors - historical, cultural - British people despise Americans, but now a virgin written by a new American director is a British black humor style film, which has to be said to be an interesting thing.

American directors who can make English-style films aren't without them, but most of them are famous people, and Adrian didn't even have a short story before that, and he's basically a new director who can't do anything new. And also native Americans, but virgins can only be so pure in English style that it has to be surprising.

The British press explained that Mr. Adrian's grandmother was British and he lived in London as a kid, so he could make English-style films, not to mention Gary from Tucnan Films? Brooke leaked it. Of course, we don't know how many people believe it.

In any case, those who followed the Venetian Film Festival were curious about the film, especially the Anglo-American people, whose curiosity was elevated and who, in invisibility, provided a good popularity basis for the Two Big Smoke Guns.

In addition, at the final award ceremony, Adrian received the Best Virgin Award to give the film more visibility. To be honest, Adrian didn't expect to win the prize at all. Although "Two Big Smoke Guns" was good from the perspective of the whole story, the “art” taste of European film critics and directors didn't, so he was surprised when the guest announced the prize, and was pushed by LaVerne before he came to the stage to receive the prize.

“Thank you to the judges for awarding me this best virgin, and I will tell every story in future works.” After a brief message, Adrian waved the trophy and returned to his position.

It's not that Adrian didn't want to get an award or even a few, which would be of great benefit to his reputation and the promotion of the film, but he started to wonder once he really got it.

If it's the Golden Lion Award, it doesn't make sense to get the best virgin award. Adrian mumbled in his heart. How many of the most famous films of previous life have been awarded such comfort?

That's what people are like, eating in a bowl and looking in a pot. But the thought was left behind by him. Anyway, it was at least an honor. It was the first honor he received after his rebirth, and the first step in building his reputation, so the celebration was still to be held.

Just because everyone didn't expect to win the prize, they didn't book a restaurant or anywhere else, and after the awards ceremony they celebrated everywhere and ended up looking for a few drinks at their hotel. Forgive me, everyone is still happy, including LaVerne, who has been busy at the festival, and he didn't expect what Adrian said to him more than two months ago to really come true! Although the film company could only earn some distribution money this time, it was undoubtedly a dark dawn, and the new owner would obviously not stand on it.

Because of the small size of the population and the inappropriate location, the celebration will soon be over, and Adrian returns to the hotel room with her lovely child. Joining Kate tonight, while temporarily no match for the female stars of those countries, Qing Xiu's five officials and their own youthful aura are not quite as beautiful, especially the unusually glamorous attraction between the eyebrows - since the breaking melon recovered, the two could almost count as night songs, Kate would have had a first taste, and Adrian had the heart to tease, she was completely indulgent in it.

In addition, Adrian chose a precious blue shoulder dress for her based on the impressions of her past life and the experience of her life, complementing her temperament, and then approached the hairdresser to take care of it, attracting a small number of eyes when walking on the red carpet.

“I should congratulate you, Ed... ah...” Back in the room, Kate just said something, and Adrian pressed her hand against the wall, unnecessarily, and Kate laughed twice, clamping Adrian's waist with her legs.

And then naturally, there was another fierce collision, but tonight was far more intense than before. From the wall to the floor, from the bed to the sofa, from the bathroom to the window, there is no sign of love between the two people, not only using a lot of fancy styles, but also asking each other again and again, as if it was never enough.

We both know the difference is imminent.

Either way, Kate is going back to graduate from high school, and Adrian is going back to the United States after the festival to continue to make her plans a reality. So it's inevitable, so the madness is inevitable, even if we meet in two months at most.

After the Venetian Film Festival gave LaVerne the release of the Two Big Smoke Guns, Adrian sent Kate back to London and then flew back to the United States, reluctantly, but not to Los Angeles, but to New York.

Big Apple, the economic center of the United States of America, Wall Street, the economic center of Big Apple, is full of greed, calculations, traps, ruthlessness and scams. Even so, there are still countless people who go back and forth, and that is the power of capital. But Adrian didn't come here for capital - and, of course, in a sense, he would - he came here to meet someone.

“I told you, Ed, don't be a scoundrel all day, but did you hear that? Besides drunk or drunk.” The old man put down the knife and fork in his hand and rubbed his hand behind his mouth of wine. His forehead was slightly bald, his nose was tall, his face was red, his brown hair was neatly combed back, he was a little like Adrian's father, but he didn't have a lot of expression on his face, and he looked at Adrian with some disdain.

“I know, Uncle Anderson, I'm changing myself now.” Adrian replied with a respectful tone, although he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

“Change? Go to the movies? A director?” The old man sarcastically said, "Are you still so unprofessional, or do you think buying a movie company will prove you're feeling better? When are you really going to mature when the Kowels aren't the self-righteous little wisecracks who can go on today? ”

Adrian was angry in his heart, but he still had patience to listen to, and another old man on the long table said, “Well, Anderson, Ed's at least working on his own, so why don't you say something encouraging? ”

“Trying? Running to the movies?” Anderson snorted coldly and stopped talking, clapping his hands and getting up and leaving the restaurant.

The old man couldn't help but sigh and look at Adrian with an apology: “I'm sorry, Ed, you know your uncle... he actually loves you. ”

“It's okay, Aunt Martha, I understand.” Adrian wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue and pressed his heart down.

“Go to the living room for a cup of coffee and tell me about the movies.” Martha stood up and smiled.

“With pleasure.” Adrian nodded and stood up, and the servants went up and picked up the table.

Anderson? Corwell, Adrian's father's brother, typical wasp, stubborn, old-fashioned, grinning. His business relationship with Adrian's father was good, but he didn't deal with it very well in private. Shut up was always family or something. Neither Adrian before nor Adrian now likes him.

The Corwell family is truly historic, and according to Adrian's father's records at home, the ancestors can be traced back to the passengers on the Mayflower! There has been glory for centuries, but there has to be a setback, until now there are distributions across the United States, but the family can't talk about it, Anderson is just looking for a little psychological comfort.

Even so, Adrian came all the way to New York to visit his uncle, who had a very large network on Wall Street. As I said before, relationships are essential wherever and in every country, even if they rarely transcend the rules in the United States, they are rare.

In the past two years, because of the life that Adrian had dreamed of living and dying, the network of relationships his father had accumulated was almost broken, and people walked everywhere with tea cooling. If he hadn't had a good godfather and a good buddy, he might have been pitted long ago, and not a few of the dudes were pitted in the United States.

Now that he has become him, and he has his own ambitions, it is essential to rebuild the network. Fortunately, only two years had been wasted and the tea had not been completely cool, otherwise he would not have been able to contact several major film companies so easily, but it was impossible to expect to make up for the two years that had passed entirely.

Adrian understands that too, so he came to New York just to see his aunt and talk to them about something, nothing else, and these things always have to be done step by step.
