King of Hollywood

Chapter 196 Two Things

Sexual addiction, according to psychologists, is a mental illness caused by excessive stress or whatever. This thing had a preliminary concept in '76, but it was only precisely defined in' 87, and it's only been 10 years now, and if not surprisingly, it will become a marginal term, and it will only be possible to gradually be accepted by society in a decade or more.

Since this is not an unexpected circumstance, then the word will soon be glowing. Nature is an accident, and Clinton's credit is immense. Though the unfortunate president has not yet encountered a zipper door incident, not too far away, it is only a matter of time before the plaintiff's attorney in a sexual harassment case in Clinton has begun to divert evidence that he was haunted. [Search latest updates all over]

Strictly speaking, sex addiction can't be proven, it's just a hobby at best, just like someone likes to read, someone likes to play chess, someone likes to chat online. Playboy likes to chase beautiful and beautiful women, too, which is just one example of using rigid rules to describe and regulate people's * *, exaggerated but ridiculous at the same time.

But the zipper door event made the word widely known, and maybe Clinton was pushing it or not, undeniably, the word addiction gave him a suitable excuse, and in front of Hillary there was a narrative that could be said, so whether the word was credible or not was still open to discussion, which was the celebrity effect.

That's why Adrian would say that men who cheated on the world should be thanked, and when they made a mistake, they could swear to tell each other, not that I wanted to, but that I just couldn't control myself, and I should go to a shrink. Numerous families could be broken down, and countless psychologists could feed themselves. That's a huge credit, isn't it?

Well, broadly speaking, reading books, drinking tea, these daily behaviors are a bit addictive, but not big, and some self-restraining people can control themselves, let alone Adrian. Many times his actions seemed unscrupulous, but they were actually carefully considered. From the moment he decided on his goals, he remained calm at all times, and then kept moving forward. Otherwise, even with Claude's help, how could he have built the infant shape of the Empire in just a few years, and how could he put them on the shelf one after the other?

“In short, it makes no sense, except to find medical evidence for the pretext of some. But anyway, thank you for everything you've done for me.” Adrian kissed Charlize's cheek and said so.

The word "addiction" is still very remote, and Charlize would ask him that, obviously, he has read a lot of books, which is enough to make him express himself.

“Bullshit.” Charlize, who had to say something to be rebutted, finally dissatisfied with the loss, but did not mention the word again, drilled out of his arms and went out.

With her around, and the growing size of the group, Adrian is still very clear about the gossip movement of the tabloids, whatever they write, as long as it's not the bottom line. At least they were right, he and Nicole were fighting recently, and Adrian said earlier that when a woman keeps breaking the lower limit in front of you, she'll have no lower limit.

Nicole was particularly enthusiastic when she had made her choice, whether she was willing or tempted and forced by Adrian, but she had let herself go. Oh, I can't say passionate, I should... I don't know, every time she's in bed, it's like she's fighting a war, trying to beat Adrian, as if she's risking her life.

Adrian is very welcome to this, knowing that it's easy for Monica and Julia, or Gwyneth and Blanchett to deal with each other, not to mention Nicole alone. All Adrian enjoyed her body and would paralyze her every time she ended up, and of course, he didn't forget to pay the $1 "hooker", and Nicole was like him, every time she didn't hesitate to take it, which was really funny.

Well, without mentioning these things and gossip for now, the newly released "L.A. Secret" has gained a lot of reputation, but the box office is not good. Only in the first week of 1,000 exhibitions did we get 8 million box offices, which is the rule. This fits the judgment of the assistant manager that nostalgic people are the main consumers of the film, and if you put it on the Christmas file, it will certainly not compete with the big producers.

Adrian therefore rewarded and encouraged the assistant again, whenever talent was important. As for the Los Angeles Secret box office, as long as it holds the cost, the film's primary purpose is not here anyway.

By late January, another remarkable event had taken place, with a walking show on the annual Super Bowl during the intermediate break. But unlike any other show, there's no strange fashion, just very different styles of lingerie, and the seductive lingerie models.

It is conceivable how many men will be stretched when these curved models come out only in seductive underwear. And with this Super Bowl broadcast right, ABC played it all the time, and several portals were broadcast live on the web, so people quickly remembered this stretch of underwear: Victoria's Secret.

Super Bowl is one of the biggest events in the United States, the viewership rate has never been high, so long as you get the right to broadcast, you never lose money. Many advertisers squeeze their heads and want to advertise in the event, it takes millions of seconds. A lot of actors and singers are eager to show up in the Super Bowl, and if you show up, it's a big hit, even Madonna and Michael? Jackson always does.

Imagine how much Victoria's secrets have benefited. Knowing that the models even pressed down on subsequent performances has become the most popular topic in the Super Bowl. Only a few days later, sales doubled, and the reputation has improved a lot, creating a high-end brand to wait for.

“I have to admit, you always see one step more than the others.” Claude called in Adrian and opened a bottle of champagne in the office after giving the details to Viktor.

“It is therefore worthwhile to spend heavily on the right to broadcast.” Adrian raised the cup in his hand, "and now you don't object to more broadcast rights, do you? ”

“I have never objected, I just thought that to seize the moment, after all, it was a rotating broadcast.” Claude smiled cunningly.

As I said earlier, the NFL event and the Super Bowl are a handful of programs that only make money, especially the Super Bowl, and are almost one of the must-see shows for Americans. The Super Bowl was originally broadcast exclusively by NBC, but the act of eating exclusively is necessarily unpleasant, so as the Super Bowl's viewership rate grows, the other three TV stations joined in, and eventually, like the divided NFL event broadcast rights, the Super Bowl was turned into a rotating broadcast by four wireless broadcasters.

Even so, however, there is a need to speak with money, and the higher the price, the easier it is to obtain more rights to broadcast. It has always been NBC and CBS, after all, the two largest broadcasters have the strongest capital, then FOX, and ABC is at the end of the line. There is no way. From the mid-1980s to the present, ABC has been in the loss for most of the time, if not for the original agreement, it may not get it for a season.

This situation improved after AC Media acquired them, and with the injection of new funds, along with several good TV shows, ABC finally relaxed, then took advantage of the nearly lost early '98 Super Bowl broadcast rights, just at this time a new round of NFL event broadcast rights negotiations began, and Adrian suggested taking advantage of the opportunity to smash down Heavy Gold for at least 10 seasons of Super Bowl broadcast rights.

Although Claude didn't really like football, he also knew the influence of the Super Bowl, but hesitated at first, feeling a little more than 10 seasons, and ABC was just out of trouble. But it was determined to see Victoria's secret show on the Super Bowl.

“With this platform, we can arrange for singers or actors to perform on it to gain popularity, just like Victoria's secret.” Adrian dried the champagne in his hand and said so.

“Really?” Claude answered, smiling as if he'd seen through his mind, and Adrian shrugged his shoulders.

“I do have an idea, Ed.” Claude suddenly changed the subject, "perhaps we should also buy two or three teams. ”

“Oh?” Adrian frowned, “Do you have any suggestions? ”

Generally, American group companies would buy more or less teams to play with, such as TBS, which already had two hockey teams and a basketball team, but AC Media sold them all out after taking over, just to see Ted? Turner left the basketball team behind, so forgive me, Turner was still depressed for a long time.

And there's a lot of ball sports in the United States, and it's different in popularity, and rugby is the favorite, as you can see from the super high ratings in the Super Bowl. After baseball, basketball again, then hockey, etc., Mr. Joe once made basketball the second most popular event because of his personal charm when he was not retired, but it was just a showdown. Although he is now back in service, he can no longer change the game.

In short, a popular team that can have a popular game is also very identifiable. In essence, there is no difference between this and the outbreak of wealth. However, there are a lot of gorgeous outfits, which make them look like distinguished high-ranking people. So, there's no doubt that Claude's goal is one of the NFLs.

“A few thoughts, but not now,” Claude laughed, "I know your plan, don't be nervous. ”

Adrian laughed and didn't make a sound, the last piece of the puzzle hasn't been spelled yet. It's a little premature to say this, and even spelling it just means that the foundation has been laid down. To make the empire look more gorgeous and more famous, we need to continue our efforts. Of course, it won't be long. It'll only take two or three years.

“And you, Ed, what do you suggest?” Claude asked suddenly.

“Me?” Adrian frowned, honestly, not interested in the NFL, but speaking of the team.

“I'd love to buy the Lakers, but I don't know what to do with Jerry. Buzz that old guy.” He stepped up and said.

“Why Lakers?” Claude asked with interest.

'Cause it's a Los Angeles team. ”Adrian is lying without changing colours.

“So is the fast boat. ”

“Better than the Lakers, and Jerry? Buzz and Donald? Sterling's still friends —— well, if you really want to do what I want, Claude, do something about Buzz. ”

The topic stopped, and although it was not particularly difficult to sell the Lakers off the bus, it was never easy, as Claude thought of buying a football team, until the last piece of puzzle was put on.

At the end of January '98, in addition to Victoria's secret stunning walk in the Super Bowl, there was one thing that didn't mean much to many people, but it was worth remembering in Adrian's eyes, as well as in the eyes of the client. Britney's first album was released, and the first wave of lead singers began to play, called "Baby, Love Me Again."

“Hi, folks, how are you? I'm your faithful Warden? Jackson Oh, I can't help complaining every time I say my name, why would my father name me Warden instead of Michael, otherwise I would be so proud, you know how mj told me that I was only a little less than him singing" b "...”

Listening to the sound coming from the radio, one of the girls in front of her couldn't help complaining: "Damn, this guy is nagging. ”

Perhaps when she heard her complaint, the radio host changed the subject from time to time: "Okay, let's get down to business. The broadcaster is going to freak out in front of me, and if he doesn't get to the point, he's going to kill me. So the first thing to recommend today is the work of a newcomer, the first song of a 16-year-old girl's first album, lively and cute, vibrant and silky sweet, and very rhythmic, very suitable for young people. So, what about Britney?" Baby, love me again. "

As the rhythm of repression spread, the girls in front of them began to cheer and were particularly excited to be surrounded by them.

“Well, this is my new song, and I can't wait to find out, when the Bulletin Board comes out, I'll be in the next place.” Britney was proud to say aloud to her friends that a group of girls immediately cast their eyes at her or envied or jealous.

“At least it should be in the top 20.” A girl thought about it and said, "The song's MTV is good, Britney's pretty. ”

“Who knows, maybe we can squeeze into the top ten.” Another girl offered different opinions.

On the radio, Britney's sweet, sandy voice kept coming out. Admittedly, her voice was really smelly and quite popular. Soon the girls started humming along, and Britney was even more proud.

Soon, at the end of the song, the host's weird voice rang again: “Oh, that's very nice, sweet magnetic lines are reminiscent, okay, I've decided, I must invite her to the next show, I want to know what a sweet, lovely girl she is, if you want to know too, please pray that the dear producer agrees to my request. ”

“Wow, Britney's going to Warden? Jackson's on the radio. ”

“He actually wants to know how sweet and cute you are, and I envy you, Britney. ”

A bunch of girls started to get up and push Britney around the middle.

“Well, didn't he say so? We need the producer's consent.” Even so, Britney said, her chin was raised high, and her pride had not diminished.

But she quickly thought of something screaming and panicked and packed up, seemingly getting ready to go out.

“Is something wrong?” A girl asked.

“I almost forgot to go to the record company this afternoon to talk to the art director about some issues. I'm so sorry, I can't stay with you.” Britney said with apologies and ran downstairs for a moment.

“Mom, I'm gonna go out for a while, maybe come back later.” She ran a couple of rooms before she found Mom in the corner of the kitchen, not surprisingly, and Dad was here.

“What's up, honey?” Lynn asked her daughter.

Britney will repeat what she said before.

“I'll take you there.” Jamie next door? Spears said at this point.

“No, Dad, I'll get a taxi. It's not a big deal. If it's quick, I'll be back in a minute. If it's slow, it might be a little late at night.” Britney refused to say.

“Hey, Britney, can we follow?” Several other girls also ran down the stairs.

“Oh, no, I have something to talk to the art director about today, and if you want to go on a tour, I can apply for you, and if the company agrees, you can go anytime.” As Britney's voice went away, the girls quickly left the kitchen, and the two adults regained their gaze.

“You should come with me, Jamie.” Lynn said dissatisfied at the time.

“Don't worry, she's not a child. If I follow her, she'll just be disgusted.” Jamie shrugged his shoulders.

“But...” Lynn had intended to say, but said two words and shut his mouth again.

“What are you worried about? Worried she had a boyfriend?” Jamie joked.

“Maybe it's my illusion.” Lynn didn't deny it. She frowned and sighed. “I always felt like she was here for a while...”

“Well, don't worry about that. We'll talk about it when the grades come out. Maybe not.” Jamie said in a relaxed tone, but the excitement in his eyes betrayed his thoughts.

“Well, keep an eye out,” Lynn didn't say much, “If Boob really became a big star...”

“I know what to do.” Jamie said immediately, "This is our family's chance."
