King of Hollywood

By now, the bragging American media has risen from 80% to 90%, and for reasons that have been analyzed before, it goes without saying. It is worth mentioning, however, that LaVerne grabbed the opportunity so well that Fox, the distributor, quickly contacted more exhibitors, that less than three weeks later he got 30 million boxes.

Basically, the cost is back, and overseas, apart from the UK, it hasn't been shown anywhere else, and maybe "Smell the Woman" can't make as much money as the newly released "Low Volume Novel" - The Low Volume Novel that went down before Thanksgiving in North America alone took away a $110 million box office, while overseas was still showing, but the momentum couldn't be lost to North America, and Adrian's popularity made the film more profitable - but profitability was certainly fine, so people had to remember Adrian again in their hearts.

While there are other reasons why such a film could recover costs in less than three weeks, LaVerne's vision and timing are highly positive. Even after many emotions, Adrian, who got the news, couldn't help but feel sorry for himself and was lucky to find such a person.

Compared to the consistently called good movie reviews, the opinions of film fans can be far more varied. Pacino's fans undoubtedly love it, and many people go back and forth to the cinema to watch it. Adrian's fans, on the other hand, half liked it. Those who liked it thought it was a good story, inspiring and inspiring; those who disliked it thought Adrian had lost his most proud style and started compromising on the mainstream. However, with the exception of some of the more extreme guys - such as obsessed with the Low Volume Novel so much that they can't help but learn to live one life at a time - most people don't hate it.

Adrian had heard all about it, because the movies were consistently called well, and the media had to circle around him, and what had happened and what was happening was really all over the news, so he wondered whether it was difficult to react. Adrian, however, has not responded positively, but has simply spoken casually through spokespersons, such as “thank you for your support” and “Al's outstanding performance is the key”.

So Al, who was supposed to be the target of entertainment journalists because of the screening of "The Fragrant Woman"? Pacino, who was treated more “enthusiastically” because of these words, was blinded by countless flash lights as soon as he left the house a few days before Thanksgiving. Even so, Pacino praised Adrian in his words.

“He's a great director, he's always good at mobilizing, and I'm happy to work with him, as the Hollywood Report says, which is my best role in almost two years," Pacino said.

Likewise, Pacino said it at the beginning of the year, unfortunately no one cared about it at that time, and now if anyone recalls it, it must be full of flavors. Unfortunately, journalists don't feel that way. They just want the news.

But after Thanksgiving, such journalists are half missing, and the media that has always been praised for "Smell the Incense Woman" began to be calm, a strange and strange calm, as if a storm was coming...

“Thank you for your hospitality, Godfather, it was a pleasant evening.” Standing in front of the villa, Adrian said goodbye to his godfather's family with his girlfriend.

“Glad you could come and spend this wonderful holiday with us, son," Benedict Haha grinned and hugged his godson, “it would be great if it were like this every year. ”

“It's a good proposition," Adrian said, looking at Claude next to his godfather, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "but I have a better one, Claude's new villa is on Beverly Hills, not far from me, so we can come back together for an important holiday every year. ”

Claudeton had an unexpected look, but before he could speak, Benedict laughed and said, "Sure, me and Beth wouldn't object, do you think, Claude? ”

“No problem, Dad, just...” Claude glanced at Adrian in secret and made a neck squeeze under his hand, "Ed remembered to call me. ”

“I don't think Ed will forget,” Beth plugged in and smiled at Kate holding Adrian, “of course, remember to bring Kate with you, so we'd be happier. ”

“Would you like to come along, Kate?” Adrian immediately looked at his girlfriend.

“It's an honor.” Kate immediately replied that although she had a smile on her face, she was distracted for a few minutes, so the smile appeared a little tense.

Adrian squeezed her hand and said a formal goodbye to his father: "Then we go back. ”

“Let your father's driver take you home, you drank a lot before.” Claude said at this time.

“No, I'm counting," Adrian waved, "just drive a little slower, don't worry. ”

The car quickly arrived on the street and headed towards Beverly Hills at night. As he just said, the speed is well maintained, neither too fast nor as slow as a snail climbing.

“What's on your mind, Kate?” Enjoying the customary cold wind blowing through the windows, Adrian asked the girl around her eyes.

“Nothing.” Returned Kate, apologizing and laughing, “Just being stupid? ”

“Really?” Adrian asked, “Isn't it because Godfather and Beth left a bad impression on you? ”

“How come, they're all good people,” Kate said with a hint of delicacy, "I'm supposed to be the one making the bad impression, I've been out of my mind several times all night. ”

Speaking of which, she suddenly sighed and watched as she stopped talking.

“I know, in fact, that your mind has not been distracted twice in this time, which is why I ask you this.” Adrian, slow down. Turn around. "Kate, can you tell me what's going on? You know, I've always been your best listener, and I'd do anything for you. ”

Kate watched him open his mouth and didn't say anything, and Adrian gave her an understandable smile: “It's okay, everyone has something they don't want to say, but if you want to say it, I want to be your first listener. ”

After she smiled and nodded, silence was restored in the compartment, and a few more decades later, the two returned to Adrian's villa. As soon as she got out of the car, a cool breeze blew in, and Kate in her thin shoulder dress rubbed her arm, Adrian next to her took off her coat and put it on her.

“Thank you." Kate laughed, hesitating for two seconds, then suddenly asked: “By the way, Ed, a while ago... you didn't seem to be there when I called London. ”

“Yes, I snuck back to Los Angeles the other day.” Adrian answered bluntly, not even thinking about it.

“Sneaking back to LA?” Kate opened her eyes, "why? Why... don't you tell me? ”

“Oh, honey, you know, I've been watching a lot of reporters that time,” Adrian explained, "and the job in London isn't over, and if it wasn't for something very important on the Los Angeles side, I'm afraid I'd have to wait until after The Scent Woman, and only a few of Claude and Laver knew I was in Los Angeles that day. ”

“But... but...” Kate hesitated to know what to say.

“Well, if you're angry about that, I apologize, okay?” Adrian held Kate's shoulder and grabbed her hand and looked her in the eye and said honestly.

“No, I'm just...” Kate grabbed his hand and before she finished, her face felt warm and Adrian came over to give her a kiss. Slip her shoulder-wrapped hand onto her waist and carry her around the vestibule.

Kate unconsciously wrapped her neck around it and squeezed her eyes as she was being carried away until she stopped and punched him weirdly in the shoulder: "Ed.”

“Are you happy now?” Adrian looked at her with a smile.

“I'd like to know what the headlines will be tomorrow if you just accidentally dumped me and a reporter happens to be outside filming the scene," Kate said, staring at the drums.

“Firstly, I would never throw you out," Adrian shook his head, "and secondly, there are no reporters outside the villa right now. ”

“No, so sure?” Kate didn't believe it. Look at the door, "you said the other day," and the reporters who surrounded you on the street are as bad as flies. "”

“Of course, they've become silent these last few days, waiting for the last moment to come," Adrian said, looking at the door with a smile and smile, “didn't you notice that the press started talking about something else these past few days? ”

“I think so...” Kate overthought and looked at Adrian inexplicably, “Why? ”

“'Cause the movie where you play the character is about to show.” Adrian said, still turning around.

“You mean Howard Manor?” Kate blinked and finally responded, she wasn't an idiot, and she was in the crew when the British press criticized her for filming Howard Manor, and she was so clear about the whole thing.

“So someone's worried about you making jokes, and someone's been wanting to see your jokes for a long time.” She watched Adrian curl her eyes narrowly.

“Too bad a lot of people are doomed to be disappointed that I don't do things I'm not sure about," Adrian shrugged off, “you know, Kate, you did a great job. At least in my opinion, after Emma? Thompson and Anthony? Hopkins. ”

“I'm suddenly dying to see this movie.” Kate's eyes are spinning, "she said.

“Soon, let's go inside first.” Adrian grinned and again held her waist and walked into the house.

“
