King of Hollywood

“Every Thanksgiving I think about how it's going to be new, and it's not easy, especially with more and more families. But overall, Thanksgiving's been pretty good these past few years, so I'm pretty good, right?” Just as Adrian chatted, a sharp razor clasped down his throat.

“Shut up, Ed, if you talk any more, I'll paddle across.” Kate beneath him said harshly.

Adrian immediately lost his voice and raised his hands to agree, then kneeling down in front of him, Kate shrunk and carefully shaved him again with white foam all over his chin.

“It's refreshing, your technique is still so brilliant, Kate,” Adrian rubbed his chin against the mirror after shaving, "but... I don't think it's necessary to keep this old scraper anymore, of course, I'm not talking about changing electricity, but it might be a good idea to use a short handle. ”

“Come on, Ed, you know I'm not really going to cut it off," said Kate, flushing a razor next to her, "although sometimes I do think about it. ”

“Well, should I thank Princess Anna or Goddess Selena and Miss Crawford for not killing me?” Adrian grinned and hugged Kate from behind, rubbing her back neck with a shaved jaw.

Kate turned a white eye and turned around to grab his collar: "You know, Ed, with this move, I can sue you for sexual harassment. ”

“Oh?” Adrian opened his eyes, "Are you sure? You know..."

“But we weren't married," Kate chuckled, "and in order to play Josie, I not only went over her experiences, but I also learned more about the legal provisions relating to sexual harassment, and now the definition of sexual harassment is much more detailed than the first ones. ”

“All right, all right.” Adrian had to raise his hands again and cooperate. It's nothing to satisfy her little superiority.

“Go on, if it's too long, they'll think I'm eating.” Kate grinded her teeth and immediately went outside, but after a few steps she stopped and turned back, holding Adrian's face close to her.

“I think you could try to build a mustache, maybe make you a little sexier.” That's what she said.

He rubbed his chin. Adrian nodded: “Consider it. ”

Down the stairs, the living room was just a lively view, Lily was running around with Dava and Juliet yelling, Eleanor was behind her, not knowing what was waving and giggling, and Mary, younger than her, sat on the floor with her mouth upset, nobody cared. Patricia and Abigail were each crying, Evelyn slept perfectly, even in this environment, without Kelis, probably being taken away by her mother to feed her.

And the respective mothers. Better, like Sophie, Monica, or Blanchett, just talk. The little ones are taken care of by babysitters and servants, and they're only caught if they need to. Worse still, like Jessica, Julia, and Gwyneth, they have to spend time trying to impress their children. In addition, accidents happen from time to time, such as when something is touched down and something is broken. A little guy wrestled, a little guy hit somebody, etc., if not a bunch of babysitters, servants. It's bound to be a mess at home.

Even so, it's not easy to relax, the kids are coming, the mothers are not coming, and Charlize, Sarah, Ivanka and Yukie all live here, so… Anyway, whoever gets the first piece of Ed's cut turkey first could lead to a silent confrontation, especially this year, even Nicole and Naomi, who are hungry.

This is Thanksgiving at the Corwell family, noisy, clandestine warfare, and by Christmas it's one more time, sometimes it's really a bit of a pain in the ass, but Adrian never wanted to cancel it.

“I don't deny it, but this is family life, okay?” Touch Lily's head already in bed ready to sleep, Adrian said.

“But you didn't marry your mother, you didn't marry your aunts.” Lily dressed up as a ghost, "so those guys at school used to laugh at me for that. ”

“Oh?” Adrian frowned, "Who's laughing at you? ”

“Never mind,” Lily waved, “since I punched a guy, there's no such thing as speech, of course, I promise that even if the teacher knew, he'd just stand by me. ”

“Well, that's my daughter, but there's only one thing you have to do now, is sleep!” I pinched one on my daughter's face, then covered her quilt and turned off the headlights, then kissed her on the forehead like I used to and said good night before leaving the bedroom.

Yes, family life, which is why Adrian risked holding a monthly meeting between mothers and dragging them down on important festivals. But even family life can't stop something, or even push it.

“What you want is ready.” After coming out of Lily's bedroom, she had waited outside for Yuki to bow.

“Good,” Adrian nodded, "I'll be there when the little ones are asleep. ”

Then he thought of something to measure up by Ji Hui's eyes, smiled and let her turn in front of herself for a few laps, and finally clapped: “I changed my mind, Ji Hui, the 2D animation is still a little too slim after all, so I need you to play Xia in the DOA, okay? Don't tell me you don't have props. Don't think I didn't know you bought them. ”

“So, is it Xia in love, or is it Xia in a trap?” After being surprised, Ji Hui asked softly.

Adrian didn't speak, just looked at her deeply. Ji Hui waited a few minutes and then bowed again: “I know, I'm going to get ready. ”

She's always so thoughtful and eye-catching that every time women can't help themselves at a party, Adrian lives with her and plays a little trick. At this point, the women also acquiesced, first Ji Hui was always a low eyebrow, never offended anyone; second, she was the only Asian on this side, Adrian and she spent the night with at least a fair appearance.

Not to mention the family thing, 2005 was the end of the line, without competition from the AC media. Major film companies were relieved and divided into a number of box offices. Forgive me, but even after Thanksgiving, Magic Curiosity got a good box office even after cancelling the animation formats of the footage and the end of the film, and Liv was again criticized or praised or criticized as a vase.

“That's it, Liv. Keep going, princess. The profession suits you very well.” Someone so twisted.

Other than that. There's also a new Disney movie that's barely connected to Adrian, adapted from British author C.S. Lewis' The Legend of Narnia: Lions, Witches, and Magic Wardrobes. Robert, the CEO of the new line? Shay, despite the absence of the "King of the Rings" trilogy, the new line has improved financially under Adrian's care.

But that doesn't satisfy Shay, who doesn't want to make more and more profitable films? Especially after seeing Miramax, a subsidiary of AC Media, capture huge profits from the Caribbean Pirate, Shay couldn't sit back. This time he missed the Golden Compass, and this time he won the Narnia Legend: Lions, Witches, and Magic Wardrobe.

But these things are usually greeted, so Adrian comes out and pushes them down. Then he recommended it to Dennis and made a small deal.

“Admittedly, C.S. Lewis has a great series of novels. But it's not the right way to adapt to support a movie - or completely adapt to a movie. You have a good eye, Robert, and Lions, Witches, and Magic Wardrobe is a good choice, and as long as the movie reaches Hollywood's usual standards, the box office is not an issue. And the real problem is, the next one, a little careless. With a slight deviation, the next movie will fail, which is my judgement. The series is relatively less connected to each other.” Adrian explains this in the face of Shay, who is angry and doesn't have a good time.

And then he gave the other sweet date: "Well, Robert, I know what you're thinking, and I can give you a series, and next year, it's not expensive, but the rewards will be amazing, if it works. ”

Shay heard what he was saying and nodded after struggling for a few minutes: "I'll follow up. ”

Due to Adrian's concerns, a series of novels was officially published later this year through the publishing company, and if the situation is good, it is not a problem to start preparing the film next year. Adrian also intends to give them a series of films just as the newline needs them, a series that's not very investing but that pays off.

But pies don't fall out of the sky, and this series of dog-blooded movies requires a lot of business operations, in addition to attracting a lot of fantasy-loving young people themselves. So Adrian is bound to send a representative to follow up so as to remind him in key places and get involved in the internal affairs of the new line.

After all, while AC Media acquired the new line, Shay still had some equity in it, and because the original agreement had been sitting in the CEO's seat, the new line always had a semi-independent smell. Therefore, even though Shay has always been honest and diligent, the AC media has not given up the idea of taking control of the new line, and this is a good opportunity.

Shay also understands this, although reluctant, the ac media has always had rules and is basically impartial in terms of film resources. He has also seen developments over the years, so he will say “I will follow up”. As long as Adrian doesn't go too far, he will probably close one eye.

That's it in '05, and while many filmmakers are happy that they don't have the AC media to compete, soon they won't be able to laugh, because at the end of December, several more films were spotted for the Oscars, like Paul? Haggis' Tower of Heaven. The film is so similar in both technique and editing to the Car Crash, which he received last year's best film, that movie critics mocked him for not being innovative at all, but upgrading the story from Los Angeles to the rest of the world, but most people gave good reviews.

“Perhaps you will watch Haggis arrange these coincidences entirely and forcibly, but they are undoubtedly helpless pictures of humankind in distress. The whole movie was depressing and flashing, and Dennis? Nate and Jennifer? The Annistons also gave the best show ever, and Haggis deserved another little golden man.” Someone was so praised.

Indeed, Adrian watched the Haggis version of the Tower shortly after its completion in a dedicated screening room. Although, like The Life of a Cup, there is little connection between the cut shot and the original version, Haggis presents the story in his own way. Mastering the plot is more satisfactory than Crash, and the expression of the theme is not lost to the original.

It is worth mentioning that although the Japanese scene has been modified, it can be played fairly well by Ji Hui, especially when dancing because she is deaf and unable to keep up with the rhythm, eventually allowing another woman to snatch away a man she can easily hook up with, the kind of loss and resentment with a tendency to self-destruct is passed on quite strongly to the audience.

Unfortunately, this is America. The attention of film critics is on the Dennis and Anniston couples, who are equally remarkable, especially when compared to the Smiths, so Kie is ignored. But it doesn't matter, Adrian's purpose has been achieved anyway, so...

Haggis could have been the last person to talk about it in '05, and if it hadn't been for another movie, yes, directed by Adrian. Natalie is the absolute protagonist of "Out of Control."

The film was not highly publicized and the teaser was released only in mid-December. At this time, everyone was busy preparing for Christmas, and the Tower of Heaven had posters posted everywhere two months earlier. Forgive me, but it's still the first time I've caught a lot of attention, and who let the film be directed and produced by the famous miracle director? At this time, the halo of Pianist and criticism of European cinematographers continues to shine, not to mention starring Natalie after the new film? Portman.

“This is an indescribable, * * miracle director's work, and Adrian's film, which is entirely female-dominated, is not without it. He's already tried it in The Witch's Head, which Gwennis sealed —— frankly, I always thought it was one of the worst works of a miracle director. But this is the first time a single actress has been used in a creepy suspicious type. Unsurprisingly, Adrian continues his precise grasp of the plot and the lens, with the exception of the initial 10 minutes and slight delays of 30 to 40 minutes, which are generally compact, without too many gorgeous lenses, the suspension is revealed at the last minute, making people sigh.

Natalie's performance was unexpectedly amazing. I can't see her here as Joan? When Carter was passionate, she was just a sad girl who was hurt and sinking into her own chaotic inner world. She is so committed, almost integrated with the characters, and deserves everyone's praise, perhaps she can achieve higher achievement. ”

The New York Times, Richard? Hansen.

Good reviews are necessary, although semi-original scripts, after all, Adrian has accumulated countless experiences and has been conceived for a long time, so the overall average is maintained. And Natalie played 150% of the role because most of the characteristic was almost her photo, and Adrian's tutorial in the shooting, which is strange.

However, despite the positive reviews from movie critics who have seen it, more attention is focused on the other hand, not on the guys who yell “You can see the beginning and you can guess the ending”, but on the female lead.

“Unexpectedly, Adrian will be releasing another film at the end of the year, with at least one actress performing well. ”

“Natalie did a great show, and Adrian once again gave her extraordinary strength. ”

“This is Natalie already? Portman worked with Adrian for the third time, and was one of the few miracle girls. ”

Adrian's ideas are well illustrated by the tweaking, jealousy, jealousy, teeth biting, etc., the miracle director, the actress's wonderful performances, and the record of the years.

This is ridiculous! Who does he think he is? Did he really think the film academy listened to him alone? Many people think in their hearts or in anger or hatred or jealousy.

But to think about it, but when it comes to reality, you have to feel a little frustrated. Something like this has happened more than once and twice, and every time he seemed unable to succeed, but every time he laughed at the end. Needless to say, what was the subject of his pianist launch in Cannes this year, how many years after the second victory, how did he shape his image, perhaps less than 100 percent, but how different was it from 100 percent in this case?

But Adrian wasn't too proud of it, and he was pretty sure of the Pianist results, but there was still some work to be done on the other.

But he wasn't in a hurry, because "Out of Control" hadn't been officially released yet, so he spent the New Year with his daughters to visit his uncle in New York, as usual. Of course, there was no shortage of reprimands, and the daughters seemed to like watching their daddy reprimanded, and the uncle seemed to have noticed that, after the first comment about the matter, he began to take the tone, and at this time, a group of little guys headed by Lily came around and looked at his daddy with a smile.

Always defending his aunt, not saying anything at this point, and even smiling: “It's nothing, Ed, you know, your uncle loves you. ”
