King of Hollywood

Chapter 224: Back to Cannes

In Vincent Price or Martin? After Modimer went out, Adrian picked up the pieces of material he didn't read carefully and blew the whistle gently. Have to say, Anthony? Pelicano could have been called Hollywood Eye in a previous life, had so many celebrity clients, could have started that big wind wave, did have two brushes, and if he hadn't noticed him from the start, he'd be on his head in a few days. Likewise, if it wasn't for Martin's sly new face, this guy would have shrunk his head back.

Adrian wasn't really worried about what Pelicano was going to blackmail or blackmail. The old man was an old bastard, but an old fox. He knew exactly which people were the real big ones. He wouldn't blackmail those big people, let alone the country's homeless people and drunken truck drivers. Many of them, by law alone, would make him painfully unspeakable, even if the big one was young. []

But Adrian doesn't like to put the initiative in the hands of others, so letting Martin, who is easy to pull together, is a test.

Of course, he wouldn't underestimate Pelicano, the Lion Beat Rabbit did his best, Adrian had his current career and status, and while there were prophetic perceptions and the help of Claude among them, it had nothing to do with his sanity. Pelicano's means, though, are inevitable to get tangled up, so it is necessary to show your strength first and then show goodwill.

The result was very good for him, Pelicano was very honest and soft, and Martin's ability was recognized by him. As such, intelligence gathering can be reassuring to this guy, but Adrian won't trust Martin so quickly and wholeheartedly, he's just responsible for hosting, not to mention Leggett taking care of himself, don't worry, wait and prove it.

“How can you thank me, Nicole?” Adrian sighed and pressed the comm key on the table, "Come in, Charlie. ”

Soon, Charlize showed up at the door and the neat ol' outfit made her still so beautiful and charming.

“Handle this and pick a useful one to hand over to Rainer, the head of the advocacy department, of course, informally.” Adrian handed over the information in his possession.

Charlize took it and looked at it, and looked up at it like a smile. He gazed at Adrian with a gaze of scrutiny. Half a moment later, he said half-heartedly and half-heartedly: “Looks like another woman is going to fall into your palm completely. ”

“Hey, Charlie, what are you talking about, am I some kind of demon king?” Adrian asked dissatisfied.

“Isn't that right? As soon as you see the woman you love, you will find a way to approach her to please her, tie her up with what she craves most, and finally play with it in her hand as if…” Charlize says what suddenly comes to mind here, the glorious divine colour is stronger, "as if she was admiring her collection. ”

“I'm not sure. Are you talking about a video game offense?” Adrian stood up laughing and cuddled her waist in front of Charlize, "one of my most beautiful collections? ”

He looked down at her and not only squeezed her chin gently, but the hand on her waist and limb also slipped down, rubbing it against her round hips, and then hitting the vague low voice in her ear: “How about when we brought Martin in in before, what if we did something unfinished? ”

“Never” Charlize unnecessarily knocked off his claws, gave him a white eye and turned away, "Even if it's a collection, you have the right to refuse, otherwise you can take her off the shelf. ”

“Ha, that's so cheerful.” Adrian sighed, followed the door and suddenly slapped her again on the ass, Charlize turned her head and glanced at him, then slammed the door and shouted so loudly.

Adrian laughed softly and did not care, otherwise it would not be Charlize - not after the shadows of his past life, but only his South African diamonds - whose relationship was so interesting and delicate that Charlize was undoubtedly the most prominent, although his women were somewhat different.

Well, not to mention that for now, since Adriano managed to take care of Pelicano because he had long anticipated Cruz's actions, then of course it was time to deepen them and let them swallow the bitter fruit. Anyway, Cruz is destined to have such a companion, no burden in his heart, no big deal to pull him in the dark in the future, if he has learned how to position himself.

You see, I'm actually a kind man. Adrian's proud and brazen thoughts.

Speaking of which, Cruz probably wouldn't have wanted to turn to the old Italian if he hadn't been forced into the corner of the wall. After all, Nicole was not a fuel-saving lamp, and Adrian was behind her, and public opinion stood on Nicole's side like in previous life, and Cruz's affair didn't say anything about nose and eyes.

Salma? Hayek, this is what Adrian chose for Cruz, and it's not just a matter of space. In fact, according to the information gathered, Salma, a sexy, Latino woman, did have an affair with him, so who was she not looking for? Of course, it's not enough evidence to say that Salma's third party got divorced, but how can a reporter, or a dog whose hearing wind is rain, care? As for ordinary people, what they want is star gossip, and whether it's true or not is something they don't care about.

More importantly, this divorce wave, although huge, did not reach the level of previous life, so with a little effort, it can lead public opinion to sit down. And Salma? Hayek, how can you categorically deny that you have nothing to do with Cruz if you can't even think about it? Vaguely speaking, it's not politicians' specialty to say a big call without any ideas.

With this, Cruz was in bad luck, and now Pelicano can no longer serve him, so the end result is predictable, so a few days later Adrian went to France with great peace of mind on his own luxury private plane.

With the arrival of May, Cannes, a coastal town in southern France, has once again won the gaze of filmmakers and enthusiasts around the world. Although all three major European film festivals are more or less self-entertaining, they are relatively open to Oscars. As long as they have confidence in their films, they can apply for an exhibition, get a seat or not, and the factors of luck are even greater.

But the organizers are more or less aware of this and are constantly looking for change. Can't they let this historic film festival fall into their own hands? However, it would be difficult to say whether the proud French would accept such a change.

There are two Americans on the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Scorsese. Dennis? Nate's ex-girlfriend, Verona? Ryder, because of this, Dennis, who wanted to come to Cannes to relax, changed his itinerary, and the fire in the backyard was not over, in case it burned again, it would be very troublesome.

But Martin? Scorsese or Verona? Ryder, not the most journalistic American in the whole festival, but Steven a few years or six years ago? The youngest gold palm created by Soderberg, Adrian? Corwell.

There's always been some incredible change in the world, and six years ago, Adrian was just a young director of low-cost films, with the title of a ghost talent, and a little movie company. Six years later, he became not only a new American media outlet, chairman of a large group of television stations, film companies, record companies, gaming companies, etc., but also one of the leading directors, and the ghost was replaced by miracles, not to mention the accurate view.

How can European journalists let him go when he brings his new work to the Cannes Film Festival again?

“Mr. Adrian, why did you bring the newest film to the competition instead of the two films you made last year? ”

“Mr. Adrian, would you like another gold palm for this return to Cannes? ”

“Mr. Adrian, how would you rate your entry? You played Nicole for both of you? Kidman and... Naomi? What did Watts say? ”

When the door opened and the man in the suit came down with the sunglasses, there was a clicking shutter sound and a variety of accents. Outside the hotel was crowded with crowds, each with a rifle and a cannon, and they squeezed it up desperately. The journalists alone were about to plug this place up, which showed how much Adrian was paying attention.

Adrian didn't talk, just walked into the hotel lobby with a smile under the protection of bodyguards and hotel attendants. When the reporters were disappointed, they pointed the camera at the two women who came down from the two cars in the back. Even though they didn't know Naomi, Nicole could tell, so they hugged and wanted to continue the interview. Unfortunately, the two women also smiled and didn't answer the questions. In addition to taking countless photographs, the reporters had almost nothing to gain.

But how can these uncrowned kings be? The next day, a wide variety of articles appeared in European newspapers.

“The miracle director came to Cannes again after six years, and we should welcome him. In the course of these years, his films have become increasingly commercialized, without the startling feeling that he was worried about it. That's why he came here with his latest work, hoping that he can find what he wants again while away from Hollywood, and we all look forward to making better and more thought-provoking good films.” This is the story of the Liberation newspaper, with the constant pride and pride of the French.

The French invented the movie and started a new wave movement, so in their eyes, they had to be superior. This intense sense of superiority made them always raise their chin high when facing filmmakers from other countries, even if he was humble enough to say a compliment to you. Commenting on the work, as long as it doesn't fit their point of view, is always a cynical criticism, even though the world's film market is largely dominated by Hollywood.

But Adrian is also a new American media outlet, nobody in Hollywood has heard his name, such a big man came to Cannes again, and he won the Golden Palm Award a few years ago, still to say something good, so there was the article above, since Adrian praised himself even more.

But not without cynicism, there's an article in Le Monde that says, "I don't like his new work. From the brief, it's a mysterious and intimidating story that happened in Hollywood, and while we can say that it's exactly what's happening around us that inspires people, why limit it to Hollywood? A few of his earlier works, at least 95 years ago, were all based on the idea of emptiness, so why not now? It's simple, he's already made his mark in Hollywood, and he doesn't need to invest too much energy and enthusiasm. Otherwise, how can there be a" Brave Heart "such a hilarious piece in history? ”

Obviously, the author is dissatisfied, dissatisfied with what? Except for Sophie? What else could Marcel have done, even though she had hardly ever been honored, in the heart of a French man was a very deserving feat, but how could Adrian be happy to seduce her to Hollywood with a "Brave Heart"?

“Adrian? Colwell was at the Cannes Film Festival again. Monica in Lowlife Fiction six years ago? Belucci's sexy dance is still there, but now he's human, and the muse around him has been replaced by someone else, but he doesn't know if it's Naomi? Ms. Watts, or Nicole? Ms. Kidman. ”

“Just yesterday, the miracle director stayed at the Mocas Hotel in Cannes, along with two new actresses, Naomi? Watts and, right now, Tom? Nicole Cruise's divorced? Later, Kidman, someone saw him having dinner with two ladies in the hotel's restaurant, behaving intimately. ”

The two stories, one from the Italian "Evening Post" and the other from the British "Sun", are similar but highly judged. Italy is a “romantic” country named after France, and this description is both illustrative and reminiscent. And the British tabloids are too straightforward, gossiping for gossip, but that's how they are. If they want to attract attention, they have to use shocking titles and straightforward content. People who love gossip don't care what the muse is. Just tell them that a married couple divorced from their husband is having a good time with a famous dude, and they won't stop paying for it.

“It is hard to understand why, according to Adrian's previous records, at least one of the two films produced at the same time last year should not be used for the Cannes Film Festival, but for the latest work, which has just been completed. Doesn't Adrian think people can't appreciate a movie about Shakespeare or Elizabeth I for the time being?” This is an article by a columnist in The Times, filled with considerable resentment.

It also represents the attitude of most British critics, who are very unhappy. After Adrian sent out the news that he was bringing a new film to the current Cannes Film Festival, many thought it would be one of the three unseen films he had made last year, and Cannes had a rule that the film must be premiered at the festival.

The "Hacker Empire" that is being promoted doesn't have to be said. At first glance, it is a commercial work and investment is not small. It is impossible to get the film to premiere at the festival, so it will certainly be one of the two films produced later. Adrian's speed of making films has quickly become a consensus, so even if he can't do it at the same time, it should be fine to take care of one, but the glasses dropped dramatically, and his work with the Cannes movie was actually made a long time ago by an unknown Naomi? Watts and Nicole in a divorce? Movies starring Kidman

This made the British angry, very angry, you know what they were saying last year about Adrian being a British director, but he went to the Cannes Film Festival without a British style film that was supposed to have been made, instead of a super small cost production that was said to have invested only a few hundred thousand dollars, which didn't amount to hitting them in the face - even though he had already been hit many times in the face when he claimed it.

As for the American media, they just briefly mentioned it, and the tabloids reproduced the gossip about Adrian and Nicole and Naomi, and there was no other news. Americans are not interested in the Cannes Film Festival, and even miracle directors can't change that.

In spite of all the mess and all the news, Adrian, as a client, hasn't been out for a few days, adjusting jet lag and talking to the person in charge here about the movie being ready for show, and so on...

The waiter rang the doorbell and soon the door opened, a beautiful blonde, almost 5 feet 4 inches (165 cm) tall, appeared at the door, looking at several waiters outside and several dining cars pushed, smiling and nodding her head to clear the way.

After pushing the dining car in, the waiters came to the table blindly and began to set up food, although there was a tall man in the room and a tall child standing in front of the glass window. With well-trained movements, food is quickly arranged, and if it wasn't daylight now, they would light candles.

“Need a break, Mr. Adrian?” After all this, the waiter leader owes the man a slight debt and asks in French, "or split up now? ”

“Cut well, but don't split up, don't leave anyone here, we'll take care of it ourselves.” The man said.

The leader nodded and the conductor quickly began cutting, and the waiters retreated after having handled these and brought back the '52 Bordeaux for the men to see.

“Have a seat, ladies.” Adrian smiled at the two beautiful women in front of her after the door closed and made a gesture please...
