King of Hollywood

Chapter 103: Cold

Adrian got sick, had a cold, although he didn't sneeze his nose, but he had a fever or something, and he lay in bed for a few days before recovering.

This was supposed to be normal. Who wouldn't get sick? Not to mention the small illness of the cold, which is incredible for someone familiar with him. Adrian has been busy almost every day in the last few years, apart from being easier in '93, not to mention making three films a year in' 92, and making two medium-biased works like last year alone has been beyond the reach of many, let alone guaranteeing quality.

And in addition to this film, there are a lot of other things, like watching the company, talking to Claude about the future, and spinning around among women. Especially the third point, don't say that 1v1, 1v2 is still alive and well, so energetic for so many years, has never been sick, and is as strong as a bear. Why is it not surprising that such a man is now lying in bed with a cold?

Essentially, apart from women who couldn't help themselves, such as Gwyneth, who was in Rosalito to shoot the Titanic, or Rachel, who had just returned from Morocco and was confused about herself, everything else came to the villa to see him, including Blanchett, who was still struggling, of whom Kate was the happiest.

“Lily's been mine all these days!” She was proud to say that it was not like a mother at all, but like a big boy who had finally grabbed his beloved toy.

Of course, she didn't bring her daughter here, and if he infected her, that would be a terrible thing.

With Charlize's arrangement, the women did not meet, so the atmosphere with Adrian was still very harmonious. Adrian, in particular, has always given them the feeling of strength, always writing them in the palm of a smile, and now suddenly this is the way it is, withering in bed as if nothing could be done, really fresh.

Adrian was somewhat ambiguous about the cause of the illness, and the women did not ask in detail, but the small illness of the cold could be accidentally acquired. Charlize guessed something, but she wasn't there, so she wasn't there, so she couldn't be sure, so the real reason was that only Claude, except for the two parties, knew.

However, Claude, who was both a best friend and a loser, did not comfort Adrian for the first time when he learned of the passing, but laughed in unimaginable laughter, completely ignoring that Adrian was still on the bed in his pajamas.

“I think… I think it's time to turn you… out of all your old nicknames… and see which one fits… and put it on you…” Claude laughed out of breath.

“Enough laughing?” Adrian was a little annoyed, but at the same time there was something he couldn't do to look at him.

“Okay, okay, I'm not laughing, I promise...” Claude waved and finally took control of his emotions and sighed again: “God, I admit it. Sophie? Marcel does smell good, and I know you like her very much, but not necessarily... Please, it's winter! ”

“Don't tell me that when you run out of options to acquire a company, you will tell each other that this is not the right time to wait a few days to maximize your profits, especially when two other companies are in hot mergers and acquisitions.” Adrian snorted immediately.

“Yes, Mr. Playboy, you're absolutely right, so stop complaining and feel better about your illness.” Claude patted his arm and laughed again.

“I'm not complaining, I'm just stating my point.” Adrian corrected that he would probably do the same thing no matter which man changed back then.

As a result of the vague roll, the intimate areas are also close together, with demonstrations, but the voices are extremely loud and clear, even though they are invisible. So he didn't hesitate to cover Sophie's mouth, ignoring the divine color she was begging for, and Sophie's weak divine color would only make her more seductive and stimulate him more, making him want to take possession of her more.

In fact, Sophie's crying eyes were just thin sheets of paper, pierced, just a few rounds, and the grievance became disoriented. Anyway, Adrian was very attracted to her, and with her contact for almost a year, there were sometimes some ambiguous sparks, and her passion just rolled over, which kept her from holding onto herself.

Besides, the pitch was also very exciting, just over the bush, and there was a demonstration in person, and a shout seemed to be urging her. So when the men and women left, Sophie, who had been completely * * dominated, sat up and showed off her wild side, and while Adrian had been through hundreds of wars, lying down was also an extraordinary enjoyment. Then he turned around and laid his clothes on the ground, and the two of them fought the battle for nothing on the grass.

French women also taste wild. Every time Adrian thinks about the situation, especially Sophie's delicate and grumbling, it's as if she's always saying, "Come on, come on, come on," there's a reaction going on down there. Though this is related to his general cold and weakened self-restraint, Sophie's wildness and hooking are also factors.

The next morning, however, Sophie got up from his arms and left Adrian's villa in a hurry, as did Los Angeles back to Paris. Adrian wanted to give it to her, but it was rejected, and he didn't take it personally. Sophie walked in a hurry but was still seen to be a little overwhelmed, but it didn't occur to him that he soon started to catch a cold and lay down in bed.

Obviously, either Sophie's ill cold infected him, or that night's garden passion got sweated out by the cold wind, or both. Because I ended up with a cold, regardless of time and venue * *, and that was not a very glorious thing to do, and no wonder Claude smiled like that.

All right, let's catch a cold. It'll take a while to win in Paris. Adrian's not in a hurry, but he's taking the opportunity and Claude to continue exploring the future of the company.

“It's basically stabilized. Your TV show and reality show are really good.” Claude seemed satisfied with ABC's integration.

With Raymond for All now basically stabilizing at around 14 million, and Survivors gradually adjusting, plus so many better producers, the ratings are slowly picking up, with about 8 million people now, and it is estimated that it is possible to surpass 10 million people. These numbers are enough to stop the downward trend in ABC, and there is an encouraging look inside ABC.

“I have more TV drama and reality show ideas if I have to.” Adrian said, "For example, there's an idea for an improved version of Millionaire right now. ”

While popular TV shows can save downhill TV stations, they can't be fully supported by one or two dramas, so he doesn't mind taking out more great dramas if he needs them.

“Don't worry, Ed, it's better for us to let abc keep the situation going for a while.” Claude shook his head, "As for the improved Millionaire reality show, the current potential of Millionaire has not been exhausted, so there is no need to rush it, I was going to put this show...”

“Leave the show to ABC, but I'm afraid Ted's got a little word for it again, right?” Adrian laughed, "no problem, you're in charge. ”

“Well, about surprises, no surprises - I mean, Disney getting involved in an accident like this - shouldn't be more than a summer vacation.” Claude said immediately.

“Oh?” Adrian frowned, "Looks like you've circled a lot of money. ”

“Of course, in the movies you're a genius, in which I'm a genius.” Claude said proudly, adding: “Even if you don't warn me, I'll think of that sooner or later. ”

“You guys.” Adrian looked at him angrily and funny.

Acquisition of surprising funds was not a problem, surprises were now reaching the end of the road, and consideration was being given to cutting back on unnecessary sectors to sustain the situation, which would cost little to acquire. Although all previous financing has been invested in the acquisition of ABC, don't forget it's 1996.

With the release of Win95, with the listing of Yahoo, the IT industry has taken a full run. Yahoo did lose last year, but lost only tens of thousands of dollars. This year's profitability is almost certain, and even Yang has begun to set up the definitive portal in preparation for world quarantine. Microsoft, Cisco's stock has also become a favorite of the bank, and the stock has multiplied countless times since then, so it's very simple to raise funds, not to mention...

“Websites have to be smashed with money, and children can't keep wolves. Hire a few abusive shooters on high pay. Find a few more cultural celebrities to target and extinguish the fire. What's on the website? That's the click-through rate! The click-through rate went up and the next one followed. How much did you throw in there and sell it to the next house with a zero? I also told you, if someone talks about buying it, cash it out, and give you the stock, you don't have to talk about it! If you're interested, you put in eight to ten million. I dare say more. I guarantee you $100 million a year! Really - I'm talking about dollars! ”

Adrian is familiar with this classic line in a movie. Although it is not the same as it is now, the speculation method is too simple, but some of the essentials are the same.

In fact, that was true before the bubble burst, and if it worked well in the meantime, the gains might not have been as much as they were in '92, which is an absolutely astonishing number.

“Well, feel free to take care of your illness. I'll take care of everything.” Claude was about to leave.

Adrian was going to say something, but after thinking about it, he gave up his plan and waved lazily: "Okay, don't talk like I'm very sick. ”

“Actually, I was just worried," Claude suddenly laughed badly, "and I was worried you wouldn't be able to take care of your stuff. If it got infected, and then it got infected, it would be the biggest joke in the world. ”

“You bastard, Claude!” Adrian roared furiously, unfortunately the other side slipped away just after saying it, so he couldn't even catch something, leaving only a haha laugh in the hallway.

After all, the cold was just a minor illness, cured for a few days, took a little medicine, Adrian was completely fine, and then came close on February 14th. To say what he is most worried about, it should be all kinds of festivals. No matter which one he chooses to be with, several of the women around him will inevitably dissatisfy others. Although most of the time it will pass, often this is not good.

So Adrian tried to make incontrovertible excuses during the holidays, like Christmas in the Godfather's house, like last Thanksgiving with Kate because she had a daughter. But some festivals are not so good, and some of them seem to be hard to choose, like Valentine's Day in front of them.

But now he seems to have found a good way to go to the film premiere.

On February 14, '96, Julia starred in "My Best Friend's Wedding," and romantic romantic romance comedy had to be shown on Valentine's Day, so Adrian's generosity appeared in the premiere. This time he didn't go into the theater with Julia, like the premiere of Emma, but the reporters still dragged him around asking him a lot about Julia.

“It's not fair, is it?” At the time of the screening, do the gibberish of Julia beside her.

“If you want, I can take you out later.” Adrian replied with a smile and deliberately squeezed the handkerchief on the inside of her thigh in exchange for Julia's white eyes.

Of course, Julia didn't really let him out in the end. After all, Adrian came to the premiere on the pretext of being with her on Valentine's Day night. It was a good victory, so why push herself across the street?

When passion intertwines, she gets confused occasionally. Why did she become like this? A victory like this is delightful. But it soon drowned on the pleasure of the tide.

"My Best Friend's Wedding" is indeed an excellent film, although only the director and the lead actress have not changed, but it is still very well made, whether it is the opening of the song of the film or the two women in the middle, or finally Julia's confession, which is both laughable and emotional, so many film critics gave high marks.

“Julia? Another romantic romantic comedy by Roberts, still so” - The Chicago Tribune

“With a little vintage style, humorous and funny clips of women competing, interesting films." - The New York Times

“Julia? Roberts and Cameron? Diaz is the two most outstanding characters in the whole movie, Julia continues to be independent, individualistic, disobedient, and persevering in her role image, while Cameron is the kind of total little woman who likes to be attached to men, eager to be protected by men, is the type that all men want, in fact, from here you can see what the end will be. But they did an excellent job of interpreting a love battle between women, and Julia would become a little woman because of love, and Cameron would also be brave because of love, a chemical reaction that was both intolerable and moving, and very interesting, indeed, a film suitable for Valentine's Day.” - Paul the film critic? Falls

"My Best Friend's Wedding" had a great reputation, so I took 23 million ticket offices in North America the first three days of the week, and it was already good to get that number in the off-season period.

Julia, who has regained her popularity, is also connected to two steps. The way Juliana looks in front of the movie and the way she pinches the little woman who robs the man behind her is very popular.

“Because it's all hands-on.” The next day Julia, sitting in a shirt for breakfast in Adrian's arms, saw the newspaper have to comment and understate.

Cameron? The popularity of Diaz has also improved a lot, although the appearance is not a special number, but the excellent figure, along with the blonde figure and the image of the little woman in the movie, makes a lot of people really like it. Plus, the acting is pretty good. At least it's a lot better than the pure vase in "Phantom Jay". The slightly silly image is also very appealing. It's already an absolute quasi-first-line actor.

“Your work always has an unknown appeal, Ed.” On the night of the premiere, Cameron made quite a tease of Adrian while Julia was away.

“You too, Cameron. Long time no see. You're still so beautiful.” Adrian, while complimenting, did not do anything else, and although it would be interesting to fight Cameron again, Julia's mood had to be considered.

“Thank you. I haven't seen you in a while.” Cameron wasn't too involved either, and she knew the difference between herself and Julia after a few visits to Adrian's studio. Though there had been some discontent and discontent in her heart, she looked back and explained that there were some things she couldn't ask for, besides, what Julia could get, she couldn't help but get.

“Maybe we could go out for a cup of coffee sometime.” Adrian then said.

“No problem, just give me a call.” Cameron smiled beautifully.

It's nice to change flavors once in a while. Anyway, there's a lot more he can give. Adrian has got a lot of novels, TV shows and other movie editing rights in his hands in the last two years based on his memory. There's just one that's quite suitable, as long as...
