King of Hollywood

Chapter 137 At the Party

? Chatted with Will and others for a few more words, and Adrian left immediately. Although Will's works in the past two years have not cooperated with the film company under the media, he still maintains close contact with him, otherwise there will be no three I want to get a role in "The Matrix" again and again. Ha 18 m-- It seems that some movies can be brought forward, Adrian thought so, "Men in Black 2" will be released this year, and Michael Bay also wants to put "Bad Boys 2" on the schedule to save I suffered a heavy loss because of "Pearl Harbor", but Adrian didn't intervene in these movies, so it's hard to say what the future will be.

Regardless of whether it is Asimov's "I, Robot" or Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend", the film copyright has already been taken into the hands, and a certain biography has not yet been published, but the prototype character has been found , his publishing company is in contact with him. In short, there is no need to worry about the script. As long as Will is willing and has enough energy, it will be no problem to gather together to finish the filming and release it. Adrian admires him very much, and besides him, he cannot find a more suitable black actor.

Walking around the party, although I have dealt with a lot of Yingying and Yanyan - Nicole's queen title further confirms another title that Adrian has just emerged: the hand of the queen. As long as he acts as the leading actress in a movie directed by him, he has a very high chance of winning the Best Actress. Coupled with his power, wealth and demeanor, it is enough for more women to contact him either explicitly or covertly, directly or implicitly.

But Adrian's main energy is still on his woman. This is the "Oscar Night" party after all. Even if there is a woman he really wants to try, he will find another opportunity instead of now, let alone have other arrangements tonight.

"Oh, don't be like this. My dear, you must know that you are Laura. This is a fact that everyone admits." Adrian said to Kate with a sly smile.

"Then I'm supposed to solidify my image as an action actor with a Tomb Raider sequel." Kate shrugged.

"Of course, it's just, you know, there are only two cases where video game adaptations can be successful, and I'm not very optimistic about the prospects of the "Resident Evil" series. It's fine if it's produced at a medium cost. It's easy to lose money," Adrian smiled slightly, "The same is true for "Tomb Raider", so for a long time. The second part will not start preparations."

Kate didn't speak, just looked at him fixedly, and snapped her fingers after a while: "I see."

"Oh?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Don't think I didn't see the draft of your drawing." Kate snorted softly, picked up the cup and looked away, "Black tight leather jacket..."

Adrian couldn't help laughing: "Is it in your eyes? I am this image."

Is not it? Kate replied directly with her eyes.

"Well, let's not talk about this," Adrian shrugged, didn't he just play Laura. It's not that I haven't played role-playing before, how stingy. "I'll take it as your default."

After finishing speaking, he drank up the champagne in the glass and was about to leave. Kate frowned and was about to speak when he suddenly leaned over and licked the corner of her mouth. This action made her stunned for a moment. Doing such an intimate act at a party with so many people? But Kate immediately realized that Lily was him and her daughter had been spread in secret, and it was no big deal for Adrian to do this, but it was just a few seconds, enough for him to disappear into the crowd .

asshole! Kate yelled hard in her heart, then sighed again, she was used to it.

The movie we are talking about is "Underworld". Although Adrian has many movies that he can arrange for Kate, he likes her demeanor, temperament and charm in it very much, and wants to see Kate as his own woman The performance in it, so people wrote the novel as early as the late 1990s, and then put it on the agenda after Kate confirmed her status as an action actor with "Tomb Raider". Of course, the director in charge must choose carefully.

"I'm looking forward to you giving me a more mysterious, sexy and glamorous goddess of the moon, dear Kate." Adrian thought triumphantly.

After talking with Sarah, Julia, Zeta-Jones, or Lin Chiling and Rachel respectively, he quickly came to the young girl who basically didn't say a few words tonight.

"There is no doubt that Miss Hughes broke the record entirely by luck. For a little girl in her early teens, her performance in the film is only satisfactory, but the Film Academy needs to expand its influence, so this Young age is an advantage.” Adrian talked to several young people, “No matter what, in my eyes, Natalie’s performance is the veritable youngest Oscar nominee for Best Actress. "

As he spoke, he looked at Natalie. Although the latter gave him a perfunctory smile, the other young people had ambiguous smiles in their eyes.

"Oh, by the way, I still have an appointment, so I'm sorry for the time being." One of the young men had a good look, and he understood after Adrian said such words, and left immediately.

With his leading role, several other people also left one after another, and in just a few seconds, only Adrian and Natalie were left here.

"It's really sweet, maybe" Natalie's expression was somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, Nada," Adrian smiled slightly, "you just need to keep the way you are now, they will only think that I haven't chased you yet, think about it, even that playboy can't handle the girl , How many curious eyes of praise will it attract?"

Natalie's complexion changed, she turned her head and said nothing.

"Why, still angry that I let the TV station change your rhetoric?" Adrian shrugged.

"No, you're right, I was really impulsive at the time," Natalie uncharacteristically agreed with his previous remarks, "In any case, you should make yourself look the same, even if it's only on the surface. It should be cut out when it is broadcast.”

"I know it's hard to accept, even though you're trying your best to adjust yourself. But it's really not reconciled to let a child surpass so quickly, and it's the same for me," Adrian said calmly. "But don't worry about it. Nada, I've already made arrangements for you. What you need to do now is just accumulate."

Natalie bit her lip, why didn't she answer just now? Why did it then start to conform to Adrian's previous remarks? It's very simple, this is very likely to be a trap, think about it, if it has been rumored that she is the only woman who is not fake to a certain playboy, and the only woman who cannot be courted by a certain playboy. This certainly brought special attention and made her imagination very positive, but if it suddenly broke out one day, she would have already been caught by him. Everything is performed for the audience, what kind of storm will it cause? !

Although Natalie couldn't think of a reason for Adrian to do this, she believed that he was likely to do it. Every time he recalled the way he looked at her that night, he recalled the various methods he used to oppress her afterwards . She felt shuddering. Out of precaution, she said those words, firstly to express her submission indirectly, and secondly, for the purpose of probing.

Rao is so. Natalie was not sure that Adrian would listen, in front of him. She has nothing but fear and helplessness, and at the same time she cannot give up. Since he can make her the youngest best actress nominee, he can naturally give her more, but the record of being replaced in one year is really hard for her to accept, so the conflicting thoughts make everything else full of love. Confident, she became suspicious and timid in front of Adrian.

"Why?" Natalie asked suddenly, "What makes me worth it for you?"

"This is really sad, Nada," Adrian sighed exaggeratedly, "I told you, I like you."

He looked into her eyes and looked quite serious: "Maybe you won't believe it, but when I saw you for the first time, I had a very strange feeling. I am not a pedophile, but at that time You really have a strange charm that makes it hard not to have a good impression of you. Especially after cooperating with "This Killer Is Not So Cold", this strange attraction is even stronger. I have never realized it, maybe I chose to ignore it out of morality, but the attraction never disappeared, and it kept accumulating in the deepest part of my heart until that day it was detonated."

Adrian looked very sincere: "I know, I scared you that day. In fact, I have never lost my composure like that, so you should understand how important you are to me? Of course, I know we will I can’t go back, it’s really a pity, but I still don’t want to lose you, I still want to possess you.”

After he paused for a while, he smiled again: "I know what you're thinking, Nada, but you're thinking too much. Even if the trust between us no longer exists, other connections still exist, aren't they? I said, as long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will let you climb to the top of this circle, you know I can do it, why should you worry about that?"

"I don't believe you." Natalie said after a moment of silence.

"Yes, I understand, so, four to five years," Adrian suddenly put away his smile, "I have always tolerated you, Nada, no matter how you treat me these years, I have never changed Your own attitude. But everything I planned for you will come true in four to five years, from now on, I hope you will change yourself somewhat, and of course, I will still respect you."

A gleam of light flashed in Natalie's eyes, and after taking a deep breath, she asked dryly, "Four to five years?"

"Yes." Adrian nodded very solemnly.

She didn't have a choice, and even though it looked like a choice, Adrian didn't intend to give her a choice, and she didn't want a choice. Just like his hints, besides him, who else could give her what she wanted? So these slightly long-winded and vague words were just to reassure her.

If Natalie thought about getting rid of Adrian at the beginning, but as the media grew stronger and Adrian made achievements one after another, she became more and more desperate and eager.

He made a deep impression on her that day. He dug out her well-hidden thoughts little by little, and laid them bare in front of the two of them. Hold it firmly in the palm of your hand. But he also kept giving her what she wanted, such as the record-breaking youngest Best Actress nomination a year ago.

As said before. In front of him, all she can have is fear and helplessness, but at the same time, she doesn't want to give up, so it's no wonder she thinks so much.

That's not what Adrian, who secretly pushed for an Oscar nomination for the little girl in Whale Rider, wants to see. However, no matter how much Natalie feels about him, it will not work, so I can only think of other ways, such as spreading the matter further: I can give you what you want, and I have already planned to I gave it to you, so in exchange for you to be more obedient to me.

But this is exactly in line with his plan. Even if there is no such opportunity now, Adrian will create an opportunity that is not a transaction. It's the chance to say that word: four to five years.

Hope is always good. Leaving Natalie Adrian said leisurely in his heart, a cold look flashed through his eyes. What will you be then, dear Nada? I'm really looking forward to it.

Soon, Adrian came to Blanchett again. She and Liv were chatting enthusiastically about the theater in Sydney.

"I'm planning to renovate the surrounding area, plant some lawns and plants, and make the arrangement more environmentally friendly and greener, so that the audience can relax more when they come to the theater—by the way, Liv. If you are interested, Why not go somewhere and try performing a stage play." Blanchett said with a smile.

"Really, what started business?" Liv asked with interest.

"It's hard for me to say, there hasn't been a specific time yet." Blanchett shrugged.

"That's what she meant. Don't think about it this year." Adrian, who was listening quietly by the side, interjected with a smile at this moment.

"You just don't want the theater to open as soon as possible." Blanchett then watched him fold his arms, if she was not wearing an evening dress but a women's suit with extended ku. If you wear a pair of black-rimmed glasses, it will match this action very well.

"I think it is necessary to check what happened to the recent sponsorship." Adrian said in an irrelevant answer.

"I knew you were not that kind of person." Blanchett quickly changed his words.

Same as Monica. Blanchett will also begin to divert his interests to other areas, such as taking a stake in the Sydney Theater and serving as artistic director. If there is no Adrian, she should have performed in the Sydney Theater for a few years and became the number one actress in the Sydney Theater before entering Hollywood.

However, although she was brought to Hollywood in advance by Adrian, she never gave up her love for drama, just like Rachel always returned to England to participate in some drama performances after staying in the United States for a long time. After the initial period of time, she would return to Sydney to perform comedy from time to time, and Adrian would also find time to go to join in – of course, assaulting her in costume backstage was also indispensable.

After the successful seal, Blanchett slowly shifted part of her energy to the theater. Adrian naturally expressed her support. Not only did she follow her to invest in the Sydney Theatre, but she also helped her obtain the right to speak in the theater. At the beginning of this year , she also starred in a play at the Sydney Theatre, which was well received.

"Occasionally, you can go to Broadway to perform, maybe you can win a Tony Award." Adrian once said to her.

So when he said he wanted to check the sponsorship for the Sydney Theatre, Blanchett immediately changed his mind, and Liv was a little surprised at the speed.

"You seem to be still questioning Ed in your last sentence, Kate." Liv couldn't help reminding.

"That's the last sentence." Blanchett said without changing his face, and then threatened: "I think it's more appropriate to change the heroine in "Quill Pen."

Liv immediately shut up obediently, well, even a "queen" has a cute and funny side.

"It's really depressing. I thought I could get a nomination this year." Liv complained while changing the subject.

She said this because she also received several nominations for "Quill" last year, but they were all technical and none of them were acting. This movie was originally released in 2000, and then competed for the Oscar in 2001, but because Adrian carefully created the image of a literary vase for Liv, he got the film copyright of this stage play early, and then postponed it to 00 years of production.

Probably because of the change of director, despite the help of Jeffrey Rush, Joaquin Phoenix and Michael Caine, the film still only received a few nominations such as best art direction and best costume , and all lost to "Moulin Rouge", and Geoffrey Rush's due best actor nomination is gone.

However, Liv's acting skills have been more or less affirmed by some critics, at least they did not say that she is a complete vase, so she began to become interested in stage plays. After learning that the Sydney Theater will schedule this play, She begged Blanchett to let her play the leading role, that's why Blanchett's threat just now was so effective.

"At least it's an improvement to be nominated for the Golden Globe Awards." Adrian immediately said comfortingly, and then remembered something and asked: "By the way, where is Gwynnie? I went all over the party and didn't see her."

"Don't you know?" Liv was slightly surprised, "She left after the ceremony, and didn't come to the "Vanity Fair" party, and... I think she seems very sad."

"Disappointment again and again, of course it's sad." Blanchett responded with a half-smile, and she obviously had an insight into Adrian's plan.

"Well...it looks like I have to leave for a while," Adrian didn't care at all, "I don't think Gwynne will go back to your villa, she has residences in Santa Monica and Burbank. Where might it be going?"

"Why didn't you go back to your parents' house?" Blanchett raised her eyebrows, but didn't answer directly.

"No." Adrian denied it, and then leaned into Blanchett's ear: "Okay, Kate, tell me directly, or I promise to give you a good look."

Blanchett gave him a blank look: "You should have other plans tonight, right?"

"Kate!" Adrian narrowed his eyes.

"Okay, Santa Monica." Blanchett shrugged. q! .
