King of Hollywood

Chapter 177 Harvesting the Mulberry Elm

People like conspiracy theories, no matter what country they are from, but it would be a big mistake to think that they pay attention to these things because they care about the country and the people. In the eyes of the public, or in the eyes of the vast majority of the public, these things are of the same nature as the privacy, gossip, and scandals of celebrities. sentence.

Although 9/11 was an unprecedented disaster, with tens of thousands of people directly and indirectly injured, it cannot escape this rule. What's more, countless Americans are gnashing their teeth with hatred for the culprit, and Michael Moore's force is not in the right direction. This kind of conspiracy theory may cause strong repercussions for a while, but it is basically impossible to set off any disturbance, especially politically.

But the government doesn't like conspiracy theories. No matter what kind of government it is, if this kind of thing becomes a big deal, no matter it is true or not, it will affect the government's credibility. Although the United States has always run out of government credit, then step down and replace it with a new one, it is impossible to change back and forth every three days, right?

So even if "Fahrenheit 9/11" participated in the Cannes Film Festival and won the Palme d'Or, with impressive word-of-mouth, big film companies and big media groups would still not wait to see it. It is true that the United States is a government of capital, but capital is not concentrated in the hands of one or a few people. However, with the rise of professional managers, the development of various industries, and the continuous dispersion of families, it is no longer five or six. Ten years ago, a few giants could control everything.

Of course, even now, the concentration of these people is still a force that cannot be underestimated by any person or country.

Although the capital is dispersed. But the nature of constantly devouring each other will not change, so imagine, if a large company is investigated by the government because of this movie, what kind of reaction will other groups in the same industry have? That's why in the previous life, Disney was very annoyed at Miramax's self-assertion, and finally simply drove away the Weinstein brothers.

However, the media does not have this kind of worry, and they certainly will not oppose the government, but it is another matter to provide shelter for their subsidiaries. First of all, they didn't know about it, and secondly, they punished them, and there is also a very important point, the media always appears as a neutral media!

America needs a neutral media. Even if it is only a superficial neutrality, it is a symbol of democracy and freedom. Not all media groups have this qualification. News Corporation's congenital inadequacy forced Murdoch to embrace the thighs of the government and the Republican Party, but Adrian and Crowder could flaunt their neutrality without any scruples.

So as long as you express what is inappropriate and wrong—whether it is the documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" that is wrong or Miramax's "reckless behavior" is wrong, it depends on what people think—how about closing the door It is the media's own business to deal with Miramax. Weinstein actually understood this point. He said before that he had seen the operation of the media when using the full power given by Adrian, and knew that he was not suitable to run such a large group. So although he felt that it was unfair to be thrown out as a pawn, he just complained.

The matter of Michael Moore's documentary ended here, and they chatted a few more about the film festival in the coffee shop. Adrian then returned to the room, and there was a lovely girl waiting for him.

Zooey? Deschanel is not so beautiful, but very delicate and sweet. She has the same pair of beautiful blue eyes as Alexis Bledel, giving people a little literary and fresh feeling, which is very suitable for playing that bitter or sweet role in a small-budget independent film. For Adrian, the feeling needed to be sullied, as it had been done to Alexis. Although their hearts and appearances don't match, Adrian didn't cheat on Alexis when playing Gilmore Girls cosplay.

The same is true for Zoe. During the two days or so in Park City, the movie that Adrian listened to most was "Love You", even though it was a bit of a moan. And there are common problems of literary movies, but the actor's performance is not bad, and then he remembered who the heroine is.

Next, Adrian found an opportunity to get to know her, met twice and made an appointment to chat in the bar for an evening, and then took her back to the hotel with ease. This is certainly due to Adrian's superb skills, but Zoe's indifferent attitude that she doesn't mind being his lover for a few days is also one of the reasons. After all, she is a girl who often starred in independent movies. Influenced by certain ethos.

Frankly speaking, Adrian doesn't mind having a girl with such a taste around him if he finds out early. It's good to have a variety of collections. But it's impossible now, he doesn't have so much time to correct Zoe's... reckless and playful character that she developed because she often starred in independent movies, and she is also a strict vegetarian, so let's forget it.

Of course, this does not prevent Adrian from taking the time to have fun with Zoe. Later, he remembered that it would be nice to ask out for a friendly match, so he spent a few days with her skiing and playing around, and even satisfied her. Wish to visit Sacramento.

Sacramento is the capital of California. Yes, that’s right. The capital of California is not Los Angeles, which has Hollywood, nor San Francisco, which is the gay capital of the world. It is a medium-sized city built on the banks of the Sacramento River with a population of just over 400,000. I don’t know, but it’s normal. Who made Los Angeles and San Francisco so famous? Even many Americans, Americans who grew up in California, may not be able to give the correct answer when asked which city is the capital of California.

Although the scenery here is good, there are not many attractions worth visiting. The most notable ones are the typical western cowboy-style ancient buildings left over from the gold rush era in the west more than 150 years ago. And that's all Zoe wanted to see, she thought it was interesting.

"I don't like traveling, but I like all kinds of novelty things, so I've been thinking of Sacramento to see these things but I don't want to leave. This time I just have your help." Zoe explained in this way.

Adrian has no reason not to meet this request. It's just a matter of little effort, and the young girl has been very cooperative these few days. Under his guidance, she not only completed the three-way connection, she also did what Alexis did before. When he looked down at Zoe, who was lying on the table with a dazed face, unable to open her eyes, and looked devastated by being raped, he felt very happy and satisfied.

Everything was fine, except for a twist in the ending, because Zoe wanted to go back alone.

"You're a nice guy. Ed, you're considerate, and you're good in bed, and I might like you if I stay around, though you're mischievous," she's saying. Otherwise, it’s easy to hurt yourself. It’s okay to play together for a few days, but let’s forget about long-term dating, so it’s better for me to leave as soon as possible.”

Although many women like to retreat, Adrian can see Zooey's seriousness, but miss...he doesn't plan to date her for a long time? Playing friendly matches doesn't count as long-term dating.

Of course, such words will not be said. Adrian sent her to the airport after politely retaining a few words. In any case, she is indeed a chick with great personality. Although such an accident happened in the end, he didn't take it to heart, and the things he encountered afterwards confirmed the words of the previous life. The east corner is lost, and the mulberry elm is harvested.

"Listen to me, this job is very simple, you just need to take off... twist a few times on the stage, and someone will cheer and give you a tip. Believe me, you are so beautiful. You will definitely be very popular, no Someone is doing something to you, I can assure you, it is a professional venue, as long as you perform a few performances, you can earn the money you need." Hearing the voice from the neighbor, Adrian suddenly thought Laughing, he involuntarily looked away from the street outside and then moved there.

Although there are a few words that are ambiguous in the middle. But as long as you hear the content of his words clearly, you can know what it is. If you do it so deliberately, you must want to lure the other party. It's really interesting.

After Zoe left, Adrian was not in a hurry to return to Los Angeles. As the capital of California, Sacramento had never been to Sacramento, and he probably would not come in the future, so he wanted to take some time to go shopping again. Anyway, the time has been delayed, and I believe the women in the family probably know the reason, and it is no big deal if it is a little later, and there is still plenty of time for the shooting of "La Vie en Rose".

So after shopping in Sacramento for most of the day, in the late afternoon, he randomly found a coffee shop that looked good, ordered a cup of coffee, sat in front of the glass window facing the street, and looked at the The street scene outside is very relaxed and comfortable, and it's not bad to be so leisurely once in a while.

It's just that this kind of silence didn't last long, and soon someone occupied the next table and started talking, the voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly. It's a man and a woman. The woman seems to be in urgent need of money for something. The man doesn't know what he does, but he keeps encouraging the woman to go to the striptease, but he likes to pretend to be mysterious. After listening for a long time, Adrian Finally couldn't help but look back.

The man turned his back to him and couldn't see his face, but his figure was very fat. The initial judgment should be between thirty-five and forty-five, while the woman was very young, she looked less than twenty, and there was even a girlish look between her eyebrows. Childish, very beautiful, with long blond hair that can hardly be seen in brown, gray-blue eyes, and good facial features. Although she can't see her figure, since men are encouraging her to dance striptease, it should always be good. If After a good training, it should be a stunner.

When he was looking at the other party, the other party also noticed him. He was a little impatient at first, probably because he was often looked at by others, but he became curious again for some reason.

Soon, the man noticed the strangeness of the girl, and immediately stopped talking and turned his head. He had a very mediocre face, and the only thing that could give people an impression was the pair of slender eyes, which looked a bit cunning. After seeing Adrian Immediately drinking with dissatisfaction: "Hey, what's there to see?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Adrian raised his hands in a good-tempered manner, and then cast his eyes on the street outside the window again, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm.

If the estimate is correct, this man will probably do the same thing, first use the girl's lack of money to encourage her to go to striptease, then use the temptation to make money quickly to subtly influence her, and finally, instigate her to become a **** ****'s signing actor. This is very common when young girls with little experience want to make a lot of money. It's easy to be tempted to take this path, because of the adult version of "Tomb Raider", Adrian knows a little about these things.

But what does this have to do with him? Although that girl is indeed very beautiful, he has no interest nor obligation to rescue all the girls who have gone astray in this world, not to mention that many of them are still walking happily.

However, to his surprise, when the man asked the girl "Can you answer me now", the girl didn't give an affirmative answer, as if she was still hesitating.

"Ryan, can you give me two more days to think about it?" She said in a begging tone.

"Okay. But you'd better hurry up, Kimberly. There are many girls who want this job. I also think you have potential to convince you." Although the man didn't force him, the displeasure in his tone was obvious, and he said It's really stingy to leave without paying the bill.

Adrian couldn't help turning his head back with some curiosity. From the previous conversation, the girl named Kimberly was obviously tempted, but why did she become hesitant now?

At this moment, the young girl was sitting at the table, with her head lowered, and she was fingering the handle of the cup with her fingers, looking very preoccupied. It is undeniable that her posture is very tasteful. Then, she suddenly raised her head, and her eyes immediately met Adrian, but who is Adrian? No embarrassment at all. He smiled softly before looking away.

"Sir..." After hesitating for a few seconds, the young girl sat down in front of him as if she had made up her mind, and lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Can... may I ask you a question?"

Adrian raised his eyebrows, and originally wanted to refuse, but watched her biting her lip. She looked pitiful, but finally made a gesture of please.

"My name is Kimberly, Kimberly? Nicole? North Camp," the girl said slowly, "I know, you... must have heard our conversation just now, and maybe some... look down on me...but now I Really hard to decide, there is a cute pony that is about to be killed. I want to save it, but there is no better way to make money at the moment... So... Dear sir, can you give me a Suggestion?"

"Sorry, Miss North Camp, the most important thing about this kind of thing is your thoughts," Adrian shrugged, "If you think it's worth it, then do it, if you don't think it's worth it, then give up."

"Not everyone can make the choice that suits them best, and sometimes the bystanders may be able to see it more clearly," Kimberly said with a pleading look on her brows, "Can you, sir?"

Adrian didn't speak, but just looked at her for a long time, and then the corners of his mouth curled up: "One question, Miss North Camp, when did you recognize me?"

The young girl froze for a moment, but then her face flushed, and her hands clenched into fists, looking very embarrassed and embarrassing. It seems that she is not without shame.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cowell," Kimberly said again after a long while, although the redness on her face hadn't faded, and there were still fine beads of sweat on her forehead, "I just... I just..."

"You just want a chance," Adrian said unceremoniously, "a chance to make yourself famous."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" The young girl suddenly became a little angry and sad, "When I was in school, I studied very hard and wanted to realize my dreams, so I was called a nerd because of this. Now, I'm about to graduate from high school, but I don't even know where my future is, and I can't even keep what I like, and those girls who love to play are either famous or have a good job, just because they can do anything for a chance, I What's wrong with going for a chance now?!"

In the end, her tone became a little choked up, making her look weaker and pitiful. Maybe there was some element of acting at the beginning, but later on, it could be regarded as an expression of true feelings, which made Adrian feel a little sympathetic. Unfortunately... Wait!

Adrian narrowed his eyes. He always felt that Kimberly looked familiar. He thought it was an illusion. After all, she is very beautiful, but this illusion has always existed, so when she recalled her name, she wanted to know Do you have any impression of this woman? When he recalled it twice, he didn't find any relevant information, but he definitely had an impression of her face, so he recalled it a few more times, and just now, a name finally popped out from the depths of his mind: Kaiden? Cross!

It's... amazing! Adrian, who controlled his heart and mind, looked at Kimberly, and after venting, he returned to a timid begging look. There are at least eight points of similarity. If you put on makeup, you should be able to reach ten points. I really didn't expect to meet her here!

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and after a few minutes, he finally asked, "What can you do for me?"

A look of ecstasy flashed across Kimberly's face.

"Anything, sir!" She said in an affirmative tone. After a pause, she gritted her teeth and whispered another word: "era."

It seems that her grades in school are indeed very good, otherwise she would not know such an uncommon word, Adrian, if she hadn't read some famous books involving Mycenae, she would not know the meaning of this word .

Very decisive, willing to pay for what you want, very good. Looking at the young girl whose neck was red from uttering this word, but who kept staring at him expectantly, Adrian nodded approvingly in his heart.

"Come with me." Adrian said as he checked out and walked out of the cafe, and then led her to an empty alley next to him.

"Prove it to me." He said and stood against the wall, and Kimberly immediately knelt down and reached out to untie his belt without any hesitation, but showed a embarrassed expression after the thing popped out and became bigger and thicker in her hand , probably because it's never been done before, but two seconds later she parted her alluring red lips.
