King of Hollywood

Chapter 137: At the Party

After a few more conversations with Will and others, Adrian left. Although Will's two years of work did not work with AC Media's film company, he remained in close contact with him, otherwise he would not have wanted a role in The Hacker Empire three or four times. Looks like some movies can start early, Adrian thinks. Black Man 2 is coming out this year, and Michael? Bei also wanted to put Jedi 2 on the agenda in order to recover the heavy losses he had suffered as a result of Pearl Harbor, but none of the films Adrian had intervened in, so it was hard to say what the prospects were.

And whether it's Asimov's Me, Robot or Richard? Matheson's "I'm a Legend", the film's copyright is in hand, a biography hasn't come out yet, but a prototype has been found, and the publishing company is in contact with him. Anyway, there's nothing to worry about in the script, as long as Will is willing and energetic enough to concentrate on it and show it, Adrian really appreciates him, and he can't find a better black actor besides him.

Take a lap upstream of the party, although dealing with a lot of Inge Yan Yan - Nicole's seal further sits Adrian's current emerging title: The Hand of the Shadow. As long as he plays the lead role in his hand-directed film, there is a very good chance of getting the best lead. Together with his power, wealth and decency, it is sufficient for more women or those who come into contact with him, either explicitly or implicitly or directly.

But Adrian's main focus is on her own woman, after all, this is the Oscar Night party. Even if there were a woman he wanted to try, there would be another opportunity, not right now, let alone tonight.

“Oh, come on. Honey, you know you're Laura, that's a fact everyone admits.” Adrian said to Kate with a sly smile.

“Then I'm not supposed to consolidate the actress's image with the sequel to Tomb Beauty.” Kate shrugged.

“Of course, it's just that, you know, there are only two game-adapted films that can succeed right now, and I don't really like the prospects of the Biochemical Crisis series if it's made at medium cost. But it's very easy to lose if you invest too much,” Adrian smiled a little, "and so did Ancient Tomb Li Shadow, so for a long time. Neither of them will begin preparations. ”

Kate didn't talk, she just set her eyes on him, and half a dozen fingers went off: “I get it. ”

“Oh?” Adrian frowned in surprise.

“Don't think I didn't see the final draft you painted.” Kate hummed softly and looked elsewhere with her cup, “Black skinny leather jacket...”

Adrian couldn't help laughing: “Is it in your eyes? That's what I am. ”

Isn't that right? Kate answered directly with an eye.

“Well, don't talk about it," Adrian shrugged, playing Lower Laura. It's not like I've never played a role before. It's cheap. “I'll assume you're the default. ”

After that, we're leaving after all the champagne in the glass. Kate frowned and was about to speak, and suddenly he came over and kissed her in the corner of her mouth. Did this move leave her alone and make this intimate move at a party of so many people? But Kate immediately reacted, and Lily, he and her daughter had spread it in the dark, and Adrian didn't have to do anything about it, but it was just a matter of seconds before he could go anywhere in the crowd.

Kate screamed so hard in her heart, she sighed so long, she got used to it.

Naturally, this movie is called The Legend of Night. Although Adrian has a lot of movies to arrange for Kate, he loves the style, temperament and charm she exhibits in it. He would like to see Kate perform as his own woman in it, so he was asked to write the novel as early as the late '90s, and then put it on the agenda after Kate's status as an actress was determined by Ancient Tomb Beauty. Of course, the director in charge had to pick it out.

“I look forward to seeing you give me a more mysterious sexy and cold moon goddess, dear Kate.” Adrian thought proudly.

After turning to talk to Sarah, Julia, Zeta Jones, or Lin Zhiling, Rachel, he quickly arrived in front of a young girl who hardly said a word tonight.

“There is no doubt that Miss Hughes broke the record entirely with her luck. For a little girl in her early teens, her performance in the movie was only mediocre, but the film academy needed to expand its influence, and at this time she was young and had an advantage.” Adrian talks to a few young people, "Anyway, in my opinion, Natalie's performance is really the youngest Oscar's nominee for the best actress. ”

He looked at Natalie, who, while giving her a smile that seemed somewhat flashy, had a vague smile in the eyes of other young people.

“Oh, by the way, I have a date. Excuse me.” One of the young men was very eye-catching and would have liked to have come after Adrian had said such a thing and left immediately.

With his lead role, several others have said goodbye, just a few seconds, and there are only Adrian and Natalie left.

“Nice speech, maybe." Natalie's color is somewhat unsafe.

“Don't worry, Nada,” Adrian smiled, “all you have to do is stay where you are. They'll think I haven't caught you yet. Think about it. How many curious praises will that girl attract? ”

Natalie's face changed and she passed her head and stopped talking.

“Why, still angry that I let the TV change your story?” Adrian shrugged.

“No, you're right, I was a little impulsive,” Natalie said, paradoxically agreeing with his earlier remarks, "in any case, you should make yourself look exactly the same, even if it's just the same on the surface, and you should have let the television station strangle that part while it's on the air. ”

“I know it's hard to accept, even though you're trying to adjust yourself. But it's so uncomfortable to let a child outperform him so quickly, and I'd say," Adrian is still that light cloud, "but don't worry. Nada, I've arranged this for you. All you have to do now is accumulate. ”

Natalie bit her lip. Why didn't she catch it? Why then begin to conform to what Adrian said before? It's very simple, it's probably a trap, think about it, if it's been circulating all along that she's the only one who doesn't fake the color of a dude, the only one who can't be pursued by some dude. This certainly brings special attention and makes her imagination very positive, but if one day suddenly erupted, he would have gotten to her. Everything is for the audience, what kind of storm would that cause?!

Even though Natalie couldn't think of a reason for Adrian to do so, she believed that he was likely to do so, every time he looked into his own eyes that night and looked back at the means he had subsequently used to oppress her. She has a chilly feeling. Proactive, she said that, indirectly yielding, and to try.

Forgive me. Natalie wasn't sure Adrian would listen in front of him either. She had nothing but fear and helplessness, and at the same time she could not give up. Since he could make her the youngest nominee for the best actress, he could naturally give her more, but her record, which had been replaced in a year, was indeed difficult for her to accept, so the paradoxical mind made her confident in anything else, but she became skeptical and awe-inspiring in front of Adrian.

“Why?” Natalie asked suddenly, "What am I worth doing? ”

“That's sad, Nada,” Adrian sighed a little exaggerated, "I told you, I like you. ”

He looked her in the eye and looked very seriously: "Perhaps you won't believe it, but the first time I saw you, I had a wonderful feeling. I'm not a pedophile, but you really had a strange charm at the time, and it was hard not to be fond of you. Especially after cooperating with The Killer Not Too Cold. I never realized that maybe it was for moral reasons that I chose to ignore it, but that appeal never disappeared and accumulated in the deepest part of my mind until that day was detonated. ”

Adrian seemed very sincere: "I know, I freaked you out that day, and in fact, I've never been that insane before, so you know how important you are to me? Of course, I know we'll never be able to go back, which is really unfortunate, but I still don't want to lose you and still want to have you. ”

Speaking of which he paused, he smiled again: "I know what you're thinking, Nada, but you think too much. Even if our trust doesn't exist anymore, there are other connections, aren't there? I told you, if you want to stay with me, I'll let you get to the top of this circle. You know I can do it. Why worry about that? ”

“I don't believe you.” Natalie said this after a moment of silence.

“Yes, I understand, so, for four to five years,” Adrian suddenly put his smile away, "I've tolerated you, Nada, and no matter what you've done to me over the years, I've never changed my attitude. But everything I've planned for you will happen in four to five years, and from now on, I want you to change yourself a little bit, and of course, I'll still respect you. ”

Natalie's eyes flashed a little bright and took a deep breath before asking some dry questions: "Four to five years?” “Yes.” Adrian nodded very solemnly.

She had no choice, although it seemed to be, and in fact Adrian did not intend to give it to her, nor did she. As he suggests, besides him, who else can give her what she wants? So the slightly nagging and vague words were just to reassure her.

If Natalie had wanted to get rid of Adrian at first, she would have become more desperate and eager as the AC media grew and Adrian achieved one achievement after another.

He was too impressed with her that day, digging out a little bit of her well-hidden mind, * * naked in front of both of them, if she was free at the time, it was nothing, but in the end, instead of accomplishing her purpose, she was held by the other side. But at the same time, he kept giving her what she wanted, like that young, best actress nomination a year ago.

Just like I said before. All she had before him was fear and helplessness, but at the same time she didn't want to give up, no wonder she thought so much.

This is not what Adrian, who secretly pushed the little girl from The Whale Knight into Oscar, wanted to see. But the way Natalie feels about him doesn't work, no matter how comforting, so we have to do something else, like spread things out: I can totally give you what you want, and I'm already planning on giving it to you, so in exchange for you being more submissive to me.

But it also fits his plan, and even without this opportunity, Adrian would have created an opportunity, not a deal. It's an opportunity to say that word: four to five years.

Hope is always good. Leaving Natalie Adrian said softly in her heart, flashing cold from the bottom of her eyes. What will you look like then, dear Nada? I'm really looking forward to it.

Soon Adrian came back to Blanchett. She's having an exciting conversation with Liv about the theater in Sydney. “I'm going to renovate the perimeter, grow some lawns and plants, make it greener and more environmentally friendly, so the audience can relax when they come to the theater —— that's right, Liv. If you're interested, try performing theatre somewhere.” Blanchett laughed.

“Really, what's opening?” Liv Rao asked with interest.

“I don't know, there hasn't been a specific time.” Blanchett shrugged her shoulders.

“What she means is. Forget it this year.” Adrian, listening quietly beside him, inserted a smile.

“You just don't want the theater to open as soon as possible.” Blanchett immediately watched him lift his arm if she was not wearing an evening gown but women's suit trousers. If you wear one more pair of black framed glasses, it will go very well with this action.

“I think it's necessary to find out what happened to that sponsorship recently.” Adrian replied unquestionably.

“I knew you weren't that kind of person.” Blanchett flew fast and changed his mouth.

Just like Monica. Blanchett will also begin to shift interest to others, such as joining the Sydney Theatre and serving as Art Director. Without Adrian, she would have performed at the Sydney Theatre for a few years before entering Hollywood as the number one actor at the Sydney Theatre.

But even though Adrian took her to Hollywood in advance, she never gave up her passion for theatre, just as Rachel had to go back to England for some theatrical performances after a long time in the United States, and Blanchett would return to Sydney from time to time after the initial period of time, and Adrian would take the time to dedicate herself - and, of course, it was not unnecessary to violate her in a costume behind the scenes.

After a successful seal, Blanchett slowly shifted some of her energy to the theatre, and Adrian naturally expressed support, not only by joining her in the Sydney Theatre, but also by helping her gain a voice in the theatre. Earlier this year, she also starred in a play at the Sydney Theatre, which was well received.

“You could go to Broadway once in a while and maybe get a Tony Award.” Adrian used to say that to her. So when he said he wanted to check out the sponsorship of the Sydney Theatre, Blanchett immediately changed his mind, and even Liv was a little surprised.

“You seem to be questioning Ed, Kate.” Liv couldn't help but remind me.

“That was the last sentence.” Blanchett said without changing color, and then threatened, "I think it would be better to change the female lead. ”

Liv shut up right now, okay, even Queen has a cute funny side.

“It's depressing. I thought I could get a nomination this year.” Liv shifted the subject at this time, complaining. She said that because she also received several nominations for "The Goose Pen," which she performed last year, but they were all technical, and none of them were acting. The film was originally released in '00 and then competed for the' 01 Oscar, but because Adrian had crafted a vase of literature for Liv, he got the copyright to the theatre sooner rather than later, and it was postponed to '00.

Probably because of the director change, despite Jeffrey? Rush, Jacques? Phoenix and Michael? Kane and others helped, but the film still won only a few nominations, such as Best Art Instruction, Best Clothing, and all lost to Red Mill, Jeffrey? Rush's nomination for the best male lead is gone.

But Liv's acting was more or less confirmed by some critics, at least they didn't say she was a complete vase anymore, so she became interested in the stage play, and after learning that the Sydney Theatre was going to line up for the play, she begged Blanchett to put her in the lead role, which is why Blanchett's threat was so effective just now.

“At least the Golden Globe Awards have been nominated, and it's been an advance.” Adrian immediately said with comfort, then remembered something like, “Where's Gwinnie? I went around the party and I didn't see her. ”

“Don't you know?” Liv was slightly surprised, "she left after the ceremony, didn't come to the Fame Fair party, and... she seemed sad to me. ”

“Again and again, disappointment, of course.” Blanchett became laughing and not laughing, and she obviously knew Adrian's intentions.

“Well... looks like I'm going to have to leave,” Adrian didn't care at all, "I don't think Gwinnie's going back to your villa. She has a place to stay in Santa Monica and Burbank, most likely where? ”

“Why not go back to your parents' house?” Blanchett picked out the eyebrows and didn't answer positively.

“It won't.” Adrian denies it, and then puts it in Blanchett's ear: “Okay, Kate, just tell me, or I promise I'll give you a good look. ”

Blanchett whispered to him, “Should you have something planned for tonight? ”

“Kate!” Adrian closed his eyes.
