King of Hollywood

Chapter 245 Borrowing

“Thank you for your hospitality, Catherine, Mark, it was a rich but not luxurious dinner that was unforgettable.” Standing at the door, Adrian hugged Marie and held Jessica to say this to the Alba couple who were sent to the door.

“Glad you liked it, Ed, free time...” Catherine looked slightly bitterly and said nothing after the conversation, “Perhaps you could come often with Jesse and Mary. ”

“I will.” Adrian nodded and pinched her little face, "Hey, Mary, we're leaving. Say good night to Grandma and Grandpa. ”

“Good night, Grandma and Grandpa.” The little guy is in arrears, his face is full of fatigue, and usually it's time to go to sleep.

“I'm leaving, Mom, and I'll bring Mary back often to see you guys.” A relieved Jessica and her mother hugged her and then looked carefully at her father.

Mark squeezed out a smile, he reached out and tried to touch his daughter's head, but hesitated and finally just patted her on the shoulder: “Go, me and your mother... both respect... your choice. ”

He talked very hard, paused two or three times, had some twitches in his face, but eventually said it all. Then, after some relaxation, after a glance at Adrian, he said, “Something must tell us, me and your mother are your strongest backers, if someone bullies you, I will show him the colour. ”

“I will, Dad.” Jessica laughed and Adrian pretended not to see it.

Then they walked all the way to the street, escorted by Joshua, to the car that had been waiting there.

“You don't blame me, do you, Ed?” Joshua grabbed his head and finally asked, a little embarrassed and... scared.

“Don't worry, Joshua, I won't do anything to you.” Adrian grinned and embraced his shoulder. “Though it did get a little angry at first, it's nice to think about it now, when Mary's older. It's not good to introduce her to your parents, and it may take time for your parents to accept her, and time is always the main cause of change, from this point of view. You're a lucky star, too. ”

“Really?” Josh Arden was relieved.

“Really.” Nevertheless, Adrian slapped him twice on the shoulder, grinning his teeth.

But then Joshua became even more relaxed, and the more Adrian did, the more he said he would not compare what he had missed to what had led to this somewhat unusual feast today.

“What did you and my dad say to the room?” After the car starts. Jessica asked.

“Oh, small things, like the insecurity you felt when you were a kid, or all his educational deficiencies.” Adrian shrugged, "he began not to want to admit, but had to admit in my powerful offense. ”

“Did you tell him all this?” Jessica's pretty face suddenly crossed over and her voice had to get sharp, forcing Adrian to quickly ratio his fingers to her mouth.

“Keep your voice down. Don't wake Mary up.” Adrian said to tap her daughter, who had fallen asleep in her arms. The little guy made a few noises, twisted his head and went back to sleep.

“How can you talk to my dad about that?” Jessica asked in a low voice.

“Why not?” Adrian asks back, "You're an adult now, Jesse, and you're worried your father's gonna look good when he finds out about this? Okay, don't worry about that. I've taken care of your dad, he didn't shoot me. You're right, your father is harsh, but not irrational. ”

He grabbed Jessica's shoulder and patted her gently. Jessica sighed softly, obediently resting her head against his shoulder.

“By the way, I'd like to thank you.” Adrian suddenly said again.

“For what?” Jessica puzzled.

“Thank you for not telling your father the terms I set out," Adrian kissed her on the forehead, "or else it would take another tongue to explain to your father. ”

Jessica immediately realized that when he whispered a glance but didn't make a sound, he only asked in an uncertain tone: “So Ed, if, I mean, if, one day I really wanted to... want to leave? ”

Although she couldn't see her face with her head down, Adrian could be sure that she was nervous in her eyes, so she screamed, "Oh, shit, why do women always like to ask such strange questions? ”

“Somehow?” Jessica immediately raised her head and opened her eyes, seemingly not happy, but Adri mounted herself as if she hadn't seen it: “Obviously, if I hadn't answered no, you would have said I was a jerk to the point where I didn't even have credit; but if I had answered yes, you would have blamed me again, and you didn't care at all. The problem is essentially the same as which mother and girlfriend have to save first, which is not a good problem, it only provokes the discord of the lover. ”

Listen to what he said, Jessica couldn't help but laugh low for half a day before stopping, but at the same time she still looked at him with a hopeful gaze of questioning.

“So," Adrian stretched her hand up Jessica's chin and lifted her pretty face in front of herself, "no matter what the happiness or unhappiness is, be sure to tell me, because that's the only way I can tell if you're impulsive or really tired of saying that to me, okay? ”

Jessica didn't answer, she just leaned her head against his shoulder, tighter.

That's all for now, and the reason is, it's not entirely up to Adrian himself, even though he's really going to Mark? Alba was silent. It's not difficult, as he said to Lily in the beginning, once you have a conflict with someone, always remember to occupy the place where others can praise you. Perhaps there are many other places on your body that can be attacked at that time, but if you keep emphasizing your irrefutable side, and then grasp each other's blossom and chase it hard, it's easy to completely overwhelm each other in momentum. This really depends on personal abilities.

But it's not the only, not even the most important, factor in solving the problem. Overall, it's Jessica's personal attitude that counts. As Adrian said. Everything between him and Jessica is in accordance with the law, can be morally reprimanded against him and can only be morally reprimanded against him. Besides, the children are already born, can they not admit it?

So after the initial impulse, the Albers made the decision to invite him over as a guest, indicating that they were actually ready to compromise. Jessica's attitude goes without saying much. Although she loved to play, all these years of family education were not ineffective, and she gave birth early, and the time when she did not initially become a mother, Adrian took Marie with her. Coupled with the implicit conditions he gave during the initial pregnancy, factors clustered together, and even if Jessica had any ideas, it would soon be automatically eliminated.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Albers to get support on their daughter's side, and then Joshua stood on Adrian's side - for Jessica's sake, Adrian gave Joshua a lot of opportunities. Except for the characters in The Dark Angels of the Late Age. He has also played a number of important dramatic television dramas in recent years, such as "csi" or "24", and is now a second-line actor.

So last year, Adrian gave him another very weighty character, the thunderbolt of The Wonder Four. That's right, starring as a real sister in a movie with your sister. That's what Paramount said. Joshua and Jessica do look alike and handsome. Adrian deliberately repackaged his eyebrows because they looked strange. Works great.

Anyway, with their brothers on their side, with their lovely Mary and their own lips, Adrian managed to take care of the Albers. One of his favorite moves is to take advantage of the fact that a person's ability to predict the future is always limited, even if it is impossible to confront society as a whole.

The so-called great tide of history and the death of those who follow it may not be appropriate to use it here, but it is sufficient to illustrate some of the problems. So, to achieve one's purpose, and the people and affairs involved are very broad, creating and exploiting momentum is a great choice. For example, in addition to publicizing and publicizing "King of the Rings," many book fans and film critics believe that the final song is eligible for a little gold man, and Adrian should be the best director again.

Beyond that, the film academy discriminates against unrealistic types of works, and changes are needed. Adrian has been nominated for the third time for three songs, more than countless before, and almost 10 years since the last award was won. Everything is driving King of the Rings: The Return of the Kings and Adrian to his throne. All he has to do is guide and adapt to this trend, and even if there is opposition, it will not help.

Likewise, the same is true for the best actresses, which is interesting to say that Kate and Sophie are famous for their Warm Inside Lights and Rose Life, but at the major awards ceremonies at the beginning of the year, they didn't have any awards, either the Actors' Union Awards or the Directors' Union Awards or the Association of Film Critics Awards, let alone the Golden Globe Awards, so many people didn't like them very much.

“Someone has done an analysis of the past Oscar Golden Statue Awards, and native American actors are far more likely to win performance awards than actors elsewhere. Obviously, Oscar has always been just a game for Americans themselves, so European actors on this year's nomination list won't have to worry too much about it.” It has been reported in British newspapers and, of course, Oscar has not been forgotten to mock it.

Unfortunately, it's all a superficial phenomenon, so Kate doesn't say, and Adrian didn't plan on getting her to the top right now, which means she has a long way to go if she's going to be the undisputed best actress. As for Sophie, he had been preparing for the day from the start, not to mention Weinstein's help.

One of the biggest factors was the gold palm obtained by Fahrenheit 911, which the French praised as a cloud of conscience after the Cannes Film Festival in May. Six months later, the fermentation had faded, but with the documentary officially released in the United States, with Michael? Moore made it clear that it was only for the general elections at the end of this year that the documentary was produced. As long as one less person voted for the Bush administration, the French got excited again and could ignore Sophie, who starred in Rose Life, by the way.

Even after Fahrenheit 911 failed to win the Oscar Best Documentary, critics in France were raging. Imagine how dissatisfied the Film Academy would be. Well, in that case. It's time to respond well to these idiotic Gaul chickens. What's the best way? Someone may not find a way, but don't worry, Weinstein will tell them.

That's not enough. So Adrian has something else going on, like the short film "Supermarket Night Sleepless." Last year, when he started his journey to East Asia, Sophie ran around with this short film at all the festivals, and while it was all some of the less famous films - at best as famous as the Toronto Film Festival, and even less than the three festivals - it also received some good reviews. That slight flow of consciousness did not attract the attention of some.

The only person criticized was Caden? Cross was a little too pretty, and Sophie reversed the character's gender and, while giving her a better grasp of the film and highlighting the style of the film, also made Caden look like some vase. Caden's a little bit of an act, but he's still young, if it's a regular movie. She might play a little bit. But the characters in this short film, coupled with Sophie's extraordinary performance, are inevitably criticized.

Nevertheless, it does not stop Supermarket Night Sleepless, the best film in Oscar, of course. Adrian pushed one in the back. So, on the 76th Oscar nomination list. In addition to having a nomination for the best actress, Sophie also has a nomination for the best short film. For the first time in Oscar's history, it's amazing.

With these, coupled with the constant nominations over the past few years and the clandestine use of all means of propaganda and public relations, as in Ring King: The Return of the Kings, various factors have come together to form a trend that holds Sophie back to the Shadow Throne.

So Adrian loves borrowing, and his plan to climb the throne for himself is to maximize it. Though it takes a long time to plan for that, it's not hard for him, is it? Of course, without long-term planning, such success rates would not be high, for example ——

“Okay, well, I'm sorry you didn't get a gold phonograph, Vinnie,” Adrian said with her hands up in the face of Elvir's breath.

Grammy is always held before Oscar, and this year is no exception, with Oscar set for the last day of Leap February, then Grammy is 21 days ahead of schedule, on 8 February. Some of the most popular female singers around the world are finalists, but the awards are still the same, with Christina and Beyonce winning, and Britney and Ivy losing their grains.

It doesn't matter if Britney has Adrian, who originally created the momentum for her, won the award for the best album in the world with the number one selling score of female singers, even though she was unhappy with Christina, but not twice. But Evel hasn't made any gains on Grammy so far, and only a few nominations were easily won, naturally very depressing.

So, when Adrian came to see them, but he said a few words, and the girl darkened her face, and he saw it, and he had to apologize first.

“I'm sorry, Ed, I'm a little emotional,” Ivel quickly realized that she had lost her temper and sighed and apologized, "but... sitting there watching other people happily and happily come on stage to win awards and speeches, the already excited mood to try slowly cooled down over time... I already felt this once last year, again this year, really... very, very bad. ”

“I understand, Vinny.” Adrian opened her arms and hugged her. "Don't worry, the more popular singers ignore it, the more ridiculous it is to keep Grammy from falling apart. In this case, you need a normal mind and a good work, a normal heart can make you better face honor and music, and a good work can show the Sound Recording and Science Society what you're good at and you don't need their approval, you're still the most popular little rock witch. ”

He spoke loudly, but in exchange for Averill's white eyes: “Come on, Ed, that's what you always say, but the problem is, knowing is one thing, doing it is another. ”

“So just a few more times, you'll know what to do.” The sound of joy comes from behind, and then one body hugs her from behind, "Hi, Ivy. ”

“Boob?” Evelle turned her head in shock, looked at the girl in front of her, and said hello to Christina, who followed her into the lounge.

“I knew you'd come one step ahead of us, and you always did.” Britney smiled and said, “Perhaps I should learn from you how to fly to the master in the first place."

Britney has become accustomed to calling Adrian the master in front of more and more people, of course, very familiar with each other, and, again, Aveline rolled up her white eyes because of this.

“You have to learn to get used to it, Ivy,” Britney said, not at all concerned, "like me, always uncertain, and then the master gave me a reward. ”
