King of Hollywood

Two days later, on 15 February, Adrian notified Claude. To prevent possible eavesdropping, he deliberately asked Claude out and revealed dates in the cafes he used to visit.

“January 17, early morning.” He didn't give a shit, sat down and said it straight away.

“Got it.” Claude also had a short sentence, picking up the coffee and then leaving.

He did not ask the source, nor did he seek to corroborate the truth of the information, let alone challenge it, because he promised Adrian. This is called trust, and this is buddy friendship.

Well, it's all set, just that when we met back home, Adrian welcomed an unexpected person - the financial advisor who took care of his property, and his personal accountant, Reggie? Marshall.

Leggett served Adrian's father a long time ago, and remained loyal to him for decades as usual. To say who else Adrian can trust wholeheartedly besides Godfather and Claude, Leggett is undoubtedly one of them, and his position is Wilson, a private lawyer who also served Adrian's father very early? Gardner takes over.

“You're not doing this right, Mr. Adrian.” As soon as Leggett sat down, he took several financial statements and pushed them to Adrian, and said in the mouth of the office.

“Call me Ed, Uncle Leggett.” Adrian rubbed both sides of his head with a bitter smile, and in general Leggett spoke with this tone, which meant that he had an important and very unpleasant point to make. It's Adrian's business, but it's his business.

Leggett didn't talk, he just slightly wrinkled his eyebrows.

“I know what you're trying to say, Uncle Leggett, and I have my own considerations.” Leggett came here because, on his knees, he knew Adrian was trying to be honest with himself and he didn't want to lose the good and loyal accountant.

“I'll be blunt, Ed, you put in too much, too much risk, and a little carelessness could tip over. Yeah, Claude's great up here, but you, not this material.” Though very heartless, it can be seen from the change of name that Leggett has no malice.

“I know, Uncle Leggett, I know it's risky, so I left it all to Claude to run.” Adrian made a gesture to enhance his voice, "I needed to accumulate funds quickly. ”

“There are many ways to accumulate funds quickly, but you have chosen the most adventurous path. ”

“But it's also the quickest and most violent path, if I win! ”

Adrian took a deep breath and looked seriously at Leggett sitting in front of him: “It's been almost a year, Uncle Leggett, you should see my change. I'm wasting too much time and money, I just want them back! I know what I'm doing, I know what I want, and even this gambling leaves me room. Why haven't I crossed paths with you all year? Because I want to prove myself, I want to prove that I'm no longer the one who didn't know anything, Adrian, the young madman, and I have my own goals and I have what I want to do! I know you care about me, Uncle Leggett, and I appreciate it, but I need your support now! ”

Leggett didn't talk half the time, just stared sharply at Adrian, and after a while he stood up and slightly owed himself: "I get it, Ed, then, as you wish. ”

Relaxed in his heart, Adrian stood up and extended his hand: "Thank you, Uncle Leggett. ”

“I'll take care of everything for you, let me know if you need anything.” Leggett shook his hand and said seriously.

A smile swung from Adrian's face, and he was going to wait until this thing was over before talking to Leggett, which would be even more convincing. According to the memory of the previous Adrian, his financial advisor was not only flexible but also very rigorous and meticulous in dealing with things, and he didn't like jokes as much as Lawyer Wilson, and trying to convince such a person not to take a little effort was not enough.

It was unexpected that he had come to the door on his own initiative. Fortunately, Adrian had already done a lot of preparatory work before, and had added a lot of points to him when he swept away and revitalized his image. Finally, he had the support of the other party. This means that the cheap father - well, if not cheap father from the point of view of a small part of the soul - left him with the rest of the class that would then be fingered by his arms.

Now all that remains is for the US military to attack, and the pressure is undoubtedly enormous for Adrian, even his most proud sensibilities and calm after his rebirth do not work for a moment, and his daily work is extremely inefficient. Fortunately, this pressure did not last long, and two days later, in the early morning hours of 17 January local time, six United States military carriers assembled in the Persian Gulf, as well as the multinational force, launched an air strike against the silly trees.

Adrian grew out of breath and… continued to bury his head in the late production. Yes, this is just the beginning, and the end result will not be known until the end of the war, but since Claude has been given full authority, let him do it and notify him when it will be over in half a month, at most, for early clearance. As for the world shocked by the war... what does that have to do with him?

Adrian regained his previous life over the next decade, working late in the editing room, writing at home, exercising, and making Kate feel better over the phone. Watching "Memory Shards" form a little bit in your hand, an exciting sensation of oil that is not more satisfying than Kate moaning beneath you, and while the film brings him something far short of what he needs, it is undoubtedly helping him to climb to his goal step by step.

Rather than careless Adrian, LaVerne was much more worried that this year's Berlin Film Festival would be cancelled as a result of the war in the Persian Gulf, so he would have to reschedule the promotion of the new film.

“Rest assured, Ralph, this year's Berlin Film Festival will never be cancelled, just wait and see.” Adrian reassured him several times that the '91 Berlin Film Festival was on schedule in his memory.

In fact, even if he can't remember to cancel it, look at the reality and know it's impossible. How could West let go of this opportunity to show East Germany when Germany was finally reunited last October and the Berlin Wall was overthrown in November?

Of course, this has nothing to do with Adrian. The purpose of attending the Berlin Film Festival is only one thing - publicity!

With a roar, the picture finally lit up, and a man with a gun to his head turned his head and yelled what he wanted to do, but after a gunshot, he dumped him on the ground and the blood was spilling everywhere. Then, a murky, decadent male face appeared in the lens, and he stared indifferently at the dead man, then dropped his pistol and pulled out Polly and snapped the picture.

The camera quickly spit out the photo, the man took the photo in front of himself and dumped it. It took a few seconds to dump the image before dumping it. So after the third time, the quick photo image finally came out completely. Then, the lens suddenly turned black and white, followed by the shooting man's tired and blinking eyes.

“Where am I? In a hotel room?” The inner confession rang.

In the next few minutes, the man who had previously shot and killed was sitting in a bed in a motel, beside him, talking about his confusion and confusion.

In the cinema, there was a whisper of theft, and the audience was obviously confused. Why did you just kill someone and jump into the hotel? Well, that's kind of the director's suspense, but why did the picture turn black and white? Without waiting for them to finish thinking, the men in the lens had already spoken up about their doubts, and then the picture turned back to color.

“This man, have you seen him?” The man put the photo in the window and asked the person inside.

The person in that photograph was obviously the one he killed in the beginning, and then this guy came in from the outside and greeted the hero very warmly, and he seemed to have a good relationship with him.

This instantly attracted the audience. If the two had a good relationship, why did the hero kill him? And I can tell from the lines that the male lead seems to have some kind of illness, which seems to be related to memory.

Soon after, they climbed into an abandoned cabin in the suburbs, and the hero of the first house pulled a photo out of his clothes. That was the photo of the man, and he flipped over and wrote on the back: Don't be fooled by him again, that's him, kill him!

“How long have I been looking?” The male lead muttered, then, while the other side was not paying attention, threw it down and dragged it inside with a gun to his head.

“Finally found you, confessed to my wife, asshole.” The male lead says so.

Instead of showing too much panic, however, the other party laughed at him for not even knowing who he was, relying on photographs to remember everything, and at the same time encouraged him to go to the basement with himself, because there was a truth there that he did not know.

The hero seemed to believe his words, but the man named Teddy suddenly struggled, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation, making a bang.

Now the camera turns again, the image turns black and white again and returns to the previous male lead in the hotel, the inner narrative also rings: “It's just a normal room, the drawer is empty...”

The audience made another whispering noise, they didn't understand what the director was trying to say, why the scene was black and white for a moment, why the scene was broken so badly.

But compared to the last time, the sounds of these thefts were much smaller, and some people still saw the concern, and there was a lot of suspense left in the plot, like what was the male lead's disease? Teddy and he knew each other very well, and he knew his situation. Why would he have to kill him? What the hell happened to his wife? These kinds of things are attractive enough to keep people watching.
