\u003e Chapter 77 Two Attitudes

After waking up in a daze, she felt the warm chest, the lips that kept falling on her shoulders, and the hands wandering on her body. Subconsciously, she hooked the other's neck with her backhand, turned her head and gave him a long kiss . {网}It wasn't until a chuckle sounded after the lips parted that she suddenly came to her senses, pushed the other away, and sat up panicked, grabbing the quilt to cover her chest.

"What's wrong?" Adrian, who was lying sideways on the bed, asked with a smile.

"Uh...uh..." Natalie didn't look at him, and organized the words in her mind, "It's nothing, it's just... I should get up, and this is my dormitory..."

"It's okay, honey," Adrian pulled her into his arms lazily, "You don't have class today, and your roommate isn't here, so don't be so anxious to get up."

"But..." Natalie struggled, "I still have something to do. I have to prepare for the upcoming new courses, and I have some papers to check in the library..."

"Library?" Adrian's eyes lit up, he bit her earball ambiguously, and hugged her tighter, "Hey, Nada, maybe we can try it in Harvard's library. Well, every library has dark corners reserved for unruly students, and Harvard is no exception. Oh, and I'm starting to miss my time at Stanford, it was such a wild time."

"No! Never!" Natalie's body trembled slightly. She knew that this guy could do what he said, but what frightened her even more was that a faint sense of excitement would actually arise in her heart.

"Okay, okay, I'm joking." Adrian, who felt her emotions, smiled, and kissed her on the cheek, "Go about your business, I will sneak out carefully, a little later Someone will pick you up when you are here, I have reserved a table at Topo restaurant to celebrate you, do you like my gift?"

"...like" Natalie said after a moment of silence.

She knew what the gift he was talking about, the youngest Best Actress nomination. To be honest, even though something was expected, Natalie was unavoidably surprised when the Oscar nomination list came out. Young record, this is an honor that many actresses can't even dream of!

All kinds of congratulations came one after another, from parents, neighbors, friends, and classmates. They cheered for her and were proud of her. There were more and more young men and women chasing her in the city of Cambridge. Her gossip was also suppressed to a corner, and countless reporters also submitted interview applications, wanting to hear her talk about the past. Even though Natalie is very smart, mature and sensible, and knows how this came about, she will inevitably be excited, excited and complacent in the face of these huge praises. Anyway, she has indeed invested a lot in this work. In terms of roles, at least 80% of these honors are what she deserves.

But this also made her hate and fear Adrian even more, even though she agreed under his threat.

"You didn't intend for me to win the Best Actress, did you?" Natalie, who was dressed in a simple attire and looked a bit absent-minded, was pulling the chicken on the plate, waiting for Ah After Derian finished explaining the history of the New England region, he asked suddenly.

"Of course." Adrian replied without any hesitation, "I promised to let you go to the top of the world, but I didn't say that I will let you go to the top of the world now, and this is conditional. You haven't met the conditions for me to send you to the top, have you?"

Looking at his playful expression and listening to his words of spreading everything naked in front of her, Natalie involuntarily clenched the fork in her hand, and her mouth was slightly bitter.

She knew that it was impossible for her to win the Best Actress, even though the media said that she was very likely, and she had already won several Best Actress awards for various pre-Oscar awards, such as awards from various associations, but The probability of her winning the Oscar for Best Actress is still less than 10%, because Julia is also nominated at the same time? roberts.

Natalie has stayed with Adrian for so long, how could she not know his plan, think about who won the best actress in the last two sessions, and he also said that she has not reached that condition.

However, Rao is so, even if she can clearly analyze all this, she still can't stop the desire deep in her heart, longing to be the best actress in the Oscars, the youngest best actress. Can't hold back, just like she can't resist those praises, she wants to get more applause, more glory and more admiration eyes! She wants to be more brilliant, she wants to be unique, and she wants to stand on the top and be unmatched!

In front of the public, in front of the media, even in front of friends and parents, she can show a peaceful and intellectual face that doesn't care about these things, but when she is alone in private, when the dead of night stand in front of the full-length mirror and look at herself inside, She couldn't avoid it and pretend she didn't care.

Therefore, she hated and feared Adrian more and more. He saw through her most secret thoughts, and unceremoniously peeled off her disguise layer by layer with emotionless words, and put these things in plain sight. When she came to the table, she seemed to be soaked in the biting sea water, unable to breathe or resist.

Natalie has never regretted getting involved with Adrian as much as now, but it was too late, she knew very well that his threat was very serious, not to mention the previous things about the tax bureau have proved his strength. Of course, she's not the type to just sit around and try to get out of his grip, but when she became the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Actress for "Winter's Bone," she knew that her bits and pieces , the calculation without a complete framework has come to nothing, he knows what he wants!

That's right, Adrian is very clear about her thoughts, he will give her what she wants, but not completely, like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, it looks delicious, just take a few steps forward and open your mouth Can bite. But no matter how far it goes forward, it is impossible to eat it in its mouth, but the carrot is so fresh that it can't let it go, and it can only drag the goods forward until the owner is satisfied and give the carrot to the owner. give it.

This situation is definitely not what Natalie wants to see. She also thought about gaining some initiative, such as the problem in the restaurant. No matter whether Adrian denies or comforts her, she has something to say, but she did not expect But he admitted it directly, and told her clearly: Your efforts are far from enough.

Damn bastard! She usually pretends to be caring, and treats herself the same as before, but when it comes to the critical moment, she doesn't give her the slightest gap. But she knows what she knows, but Natalie has nothing to do. He is tying her hands and feet little by little, and then shaking the wooden cross to make her perform according to his instructions, but she can't and dare not let it go. The saddest thing in the world is knowing that you are slowly becoming someone's marionette, but you can't stop this trend for various reasons.

Can't do this, find a way, can't do this! Natalie, who was convulsed under Adrian and almost lost her mind, flashed such a sentence in her mind.

Adrian knows this. When you really understand a person, her thoughts will be invisible in front of you, not to mention that some situations are planned by him alone. It's like guiding an experimental mouse into a maze with only dead ends, watching it struggle again and again in vain to find a way out, but it can't escape from human hands, unless it has great perseverance, Give up the delicacies in this labyrinth and look for the entrance.

Of course, at that time Adrian would not hesitate to close the entrance to the maze, he would not let this little white mouse named Natalie out of his hands, she was so interesting, how could he be willing. That carrot Adrian will be replaced by a fresher one, and then put more distance, this year's Oscar nomination is just the beginning, the impact will not really be revealed until this time next year, and then... …

After a short stay in Boston for three days, Adrian returned to Los Angeles, asked about the company's situation, and paid attention to the news about the Oscars. Various speculations were in full swing. Whether it's Best Movie, Best Director, Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor, these are not the awards that he mainly cares about, but Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress.

As expected, with the addition of little Emma and the qualifications accumulated in the past ten years, Julia is gradually winning back the attention of the public. It is a pity that the focus was not obvious in Boston, otherwise It must be funny to tease Natalie with this.

Most of the guesses for the best actress are concentrated on them. Natalie is outstanding and broke the age record. Julia is also outstanding and a representative of American female stars, and they all played the leading role in Adrian's works. , with the precedents of "Elizabeth" and "Shakespeare in Love", it is quite normal for reporters to compare them.

In addition, although Blanchett's performance in "Sense and Sensibility" is also good, she has already won the Best Actress once, and there are very few actresses who have won two awards in a short period of time, and she is an Australian actress. people. Joan? Allen's acting skills are basically on par with Natalie and Julia, but it's a pity that she acted in a political movie, and Oscar has not yet won the best actress for a political movie. As for Laura? Lin Ni, her acting skills are at least half as bad as those of the dead before, and the quality of the movie is not particularly high, let alone think about it.

There are three candidates who are most likely to win the Best Supporting Actress award. Little Emma is almost impossible. Although her performance is quite eye-catching, she has not yet reached the point where she can win an award. Nomination is already the best reward. And judging from the inertia of Oscars, it takes at least 20 years for a young actor to win the Best Supporting Actress. Kate is also unlikely. This is the first time she has been nominated for an Oscar, and it was only after Adrian worked hard to get it. In addition, she is British, so it is very difficult to win the award.

So the final winner should be between Zeta Jones, Nicole, and Gwyneth. Zeta Jones has already been nominated for Best Supporting Actress once, and his popularity has almost accelerated under the support of Adrian in the past few years. Catch up with Julia, but the shortcoming is the lack of shocking performance in "Drug Network"; and Nicole shines after divorcing Cruise, and has been praised by people since "Small Cry", although The most outstanding actress in "Mulholland Drive" is Naomi, but her acting skills should not be underestimated. She also won a best actress nomination for "American Beauty". The only problem is that she is too beautiful.

So in general, Gwyneth has the biggest advantage. She has been nominated for Best Actress twice in a row before, but she missed each time, which will inevitably make people sympathetic, and this performance is also remarkable. At this point, it is Austin's work again, maybe the film academy will award this award to her as compensation.

Of course, these are all speculations. Before the award ceremony, no one can be sure who will win the award. There are still many variables, such as... public relations.

"You are really getting more and more beautiful. You are exuding charm all the time, which is fascinating." Adrian said in an admiring tone while staring at the woman in the mirror.

A head of long reddish golden hair hangs fluffy on the shoulders, the eyes are bluer than before, the red lips are full of temptation, the white outerwear dotted with shiny pieces and the furry hair underneath The skirt made her look a little vulgar, but at the same time it gave her a different kind of charm. Adrian's hand that was originally on her shoulder moved to her neck unconsciously, and finally held her from behind. face.

"Really?" Nicole replied lazily, narrowing her eyes slightly, which gave her a playful feeling.

"Of course, don't you know how attractive the current appearance is?" Adrian lowered his head and put it on the same level as her head, and gently blew into her ear, "It's so beautiful Best Supporting Actress."

"It's just a nomination." Nicole, who was looking at the mirror, couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

"So you don't want it anymore." Adrian smiled and kissed her neck.

Nicole couldn't help taking a breath, and glanced up, as if she wanted to look up at Adrian, but she quickly controlled her emotions: "Then how can I get it?"

"At least not enough for now." Adrian showed a smirk, "Not enough."

In just a few seconds, Nicole understood what he meant, and finally couldn't hold back and turned around: "I only pay you a few dollars for playing, and the whole set is only double digits. Isn't that enough?"

She looked at him with a sneer, and she didn't know whether she was really annoyed or just pretending, but it matched her glamorous temperament just right, making Adrian feel like he was twitching his index finger.

"Of course," he couldn't help pinching her chin and lifting it up, "What do you think, I grabbed you on stage, pressed you against the curtain in the corner, and raped you without being afraid of being discovered by everyone outside? Or when there are people, let you talk to them through a door, and then rape you from behind? Or hide in the closet, listen to people outside discussing the private affairs between you and me, and then rape you, Make you dare not call out even if you want to?"

Listening to his unscrupulous words, Nicole couldn't help but blushed. She couldn't help but gritted her teeth and looked at him, glaring at him: "Is this kind of thing rare before? Don't forget..."

"That's how many times?" Adrian smiled half-smile.

"But at least..."

"So not enough!"

Adrian put away his smile and straightened his body, his condescending appearance made him feel irresistible: "I want more than just a little, what I want is all of you, all of you! Because I can give you If you want everything, you should know why this movie is shot now. I said that I will let the most beautiful you be the queen of the movie, but there is a premise, that is, the most beautiful you must be me Yes, from beginning to end, from the inside out!"

He let out a long breath, and gently stroked her soft neck with his fingers. Although Nicole's chest kept rising and falling, she never made a sound.

"You're too greedy, Ed." She finally opened her mouth slowly.

"Because I'm a man." Adrian smiled slightly, "It's a fairly successful man."

A smile suddenly spread from the corner of Nicole's mouth, like a thawed rose, glamorous but also coquettish, she reached out and grabbed his waist, something was burning in her blue eyes: "Do you really want to try?"

However, at this moment, there was an untimely knock on the door: "Mr. Adrian? Miss Nicole? We are ready."

"Okay, come right away and keep them in good condition." Before Nicole could speak, Adrian replied loudly.

Nicole couldn't help being surprised by this behavior. Faced with her doubts, Adrian shrugged: "Although I am lustful, I am not a beast that is in heat all the time."

After a pause, he showed a meaningful smile: "And we still have time. Although exciting pleasure is important, so are safety and security, isn't it?"

Nicole couldn't help but gave him a blank look, and immediately got up and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned around and said in a provocative tone, "I'll wait for you. Besides, the cost must be proportional to the risk."

Adrian immediately burst out laughing, oh, this is Nicole? Kidman, his Nicole? Kidman, without Cruise, an idiot who doesn't know how to develop, has completely let go of herself. In her golden age, the word Bufangwu was used to describe her.

Of course, there is also Adrian's credit for this. Although without his means, even if Nicole would be equally bright and moving, it would not be as good as it is now. However, this also led to a distorted relationship between her and him, which is different from the attachment of Kate and Sarah, different from Natalie's fear, and similar to Kirsten, in which interests and feelings are closely linked, regardless of each other.

Therefore, Adrian raised the topic very directly just now, and Nicole quickly agreed to it afterwards, so... this is actually a good thing.

"There is a lot of fun to enjoy in the middle of filming." Adrian thought so when he came to the ready-made "Moulin Rouge" set.
