King of Hollywood Chapter 245: By taking advantage
"Thank you for your hospitality, Catherine, Mark, this is a sumptuous but not luxurious dinner, which is unforgettable." Standing at the door, Adrian held Mary and took Jessica to Alba delivered to the door The couple said so.
"I'm glad...you can like it, Ed, you're free..." Catherine, who smiled a little bitterly, glanced at her husband who was black after the conversation but said nothing, "Maybe you can talk to Jesse and Mary Come often."
"I will." Adrian nodded and squeezed her daughter's face, "Hey, Mary, we're leaving, say good night to grandparents."
"Good night, grandpa and grandma." The little guy yawned, his face was full of tiredness, and it was almost time to fall asleep at this time.
"I left my mother, and I will bring Mary back to see you often." Jessica, relieved, hugged her mother and then gave her father a careful look.
Mark squeezed out a smile. He reached out and wanted to touch his daughter’s head, but hesitated and finally patted her on the shoulder: "Go, me and your mother...both...respect... ...Your choice."
He spoke very hard. He paused for two or three times, and his face twitched, but after all he said it all. Then, after he finished speaking, he was more relaxed. After glancing at Adrian, he immediately said: "If you have anything to tell us, my mother and you are your strongest backing. If someone bullies you, I will Show him the color without any kindness."
"I will dad." Jessica smiled, Adrian pretended not to see it.
After that, they walked all the way to the street, and under Joshua's escort, they got into the car that was already waiting there.
"You won't blame me, Ed?" Joshua grabbed his head and finally asked, some embarrassment and... fear.
"Don't worry, Joshua, I won't do anything to you." Adrian smiled and hugged him on the shoulder. "Although it was a little angry at first, it is good to think about it now. Wait for Mary to be older. It is not easy to introduce her to your parents, and it may take time for your parents to accept her, and time never Are the main reasons for the change, from this point. You are also a lucky star."
"Really?" Joshua breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really." Having said that, Adrian slapped him slaps on his shoulders fiercely.
However, Joshua has become more relaxed in this way. The more Adrian does this, the more he says that he doesn’t account for what he said and caused this awkward family feast today.
"What did you and my dad say in the room?" After the car started. Jessica asked.
"Oh, some small things, such as those insecurity when you were a child, or all his deficiencies in education and the like." Adrian shrugged, "He started not wanting to admit it, but under my powerful offensive I have to admit."
"You told him all this?" Jessica's pretty face suddenly stepped down, and the voice could not help but sharpen a lot, so that Adrian had to quickly compare his fingers to his mouth.
"Be quiet. Don't wake Mary up." Adrian said gently taking a picture of her daughter who had fallen asleep in her arms. The little guy made a few clicks, twisted his head and continued to sleep.
"How can you tell those to my dad." Jessica asked in a low voice.
"Why not?" Adrian replied, "You are already an adult, Jesse, do you still worry that your father will look good to you when he knows these? Well, don't worry about these. I have already treated your father That’s it, he didn’t shoot me. You’re right, although your father is harsh, it’s not irrational.”
He said that he took Jessica's shoulder and patted it gently. Jessica sighed softly, leaning her head on his shoulder obediently.
"Oh, I have to thank you for speaking." Adrian suddenly said again.
"Thank you?" Jessica asked puzzled.
"Thank you for not telling your dad the conditions I originally issued," Adrian kissed her forehead. "Otherwise it will take a bit of tongue to explain to your dad."
Jessica came to understand it immediately, and immediately gave him a glance but did not make a sound, but after a long while, he asked in an uncertain tone: "Then Ed, if, I mean if, one day I really Want... want to leave?"
Although she can’t see her expression with her head down, Adrian can be sure that she has nervousness in her eyes, so she complained: "Oh, hell, why do women like to ask such inexplicable questions."
"Inexplicable?" Jessica immediately raised her head and opened her eyes, it seemed not very happy, but Adrian pretended not to see it and said, "It's obvious that if I answer no, You will definitely say that I am **** to the point where I have no credit; but if I answer yes, you will certainly blame me, even if you don’t care about you at all. This problem is essentially the same as that of mother and girlfriend falling into the water at the same time. It doesn’t make any difference, which is not a good problem, it will only provoke the lover’s discord."
Listening to his disturbing words, Jessica couldn't help but chuckled for a long time before stopping, but she still looked at him with a questioning and hopeful look.
"So," Adrian reached up and lifted Jessica's chin, lifting her beautiful face in front of herself. "No matter what is happy or unhappy, you must tell me, because this Only in this way, I can judge, when you say that to me, are you impulsive, or are you really tired, understand?"
Jessica didn't answer, just leaned her head on his shoulders and leaned closer.
This is the case for the time being, and the reason for this is not entirely dependent on Adrian himself, although he does make Mark Alba speechless. This is not difficult, as he said to Lily, once there is any conflict with who, always remember to occupy the position where you can be praised by others, maybe there are many others that can be The place to attack, but as long as you continue to emphasize your irrefutable side, and then seize the other party's flaws and pursue it fiercely, it is easy to completely overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum. This really depends on personal ability.
But this is not the only factor to solve the problem, or even an important factor. In general, the key to whether or not the Albas can get along is the personal attitude of Jessica. As Adrian said. All actions between him and Jessica are in accordance with the law, and he can be accused morally, and only morally. Besides, the children are already born so old, can they not admit it?
So after the initial impulse, the Albas made a decision to invite him to come and be a guest, which also shows that they actually have a plan to compromise. Needless to say, Jessica's attitude. Although it is fun to play, family education for so many years is not ineffective. After giving birth to a child early, the period when I did not become a mother was Adrian with Mary. Coupled with the hinted conditions he gave during his initial pregnancy, the various factors were brought together, and even if Jessica had any thoughts, they would quickly dismiss them.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Alba couples to get support on the daughter’s side, and then Joshua also stood on the Adrian side—for Jessica’s sake, Adrian gave Joshua a lot of opportunities . In addition to the supporting role in "Dark Angel". In recent years, he has also played important supporting roles in many important drama series, such as "" or "24", and now he can be regarded as a second-line actor.
So last year, Adrian gave him a very important role, Thunderbolt in "Fantastic Four". That's right, acting as a real brother in the movie with her sister. Paramount agreed on this point. Joshua and Jessica are indeed very similar, and they are quite handsome. The eyebrows seemed strange, so Adrian specially asked someone to repackage it for him. The effect is very good.
In short, with their younger brothers standing on their side, plus the lovely Mary and his mouth, Adrian successfully managed the Alba couple. One of his favorite moves is to take advantage of a person's ability is always limited. Even if he can predict the future, it is impossible to fight against the entire society.
The so-called historical trend is vast, and those who are prosperous and those who are prosperous may die. It may not be appropriate to use it here, but it is enough to explain some problems. Therefore, if you want to achieve your goal, and the people and affairs involved are very extensive, creating and using momentum is the only choice. For example, in the current promotion of "The Lord of the Rings", apart from the heavy publicity and public relations, many book fans and film critics believe that this final song is eligible to get a small gold man, and Adrian should also become the best director again. .
In addition, the film school discriminates against non-realistic works and needs to make changes. Adrian has been nominated for the third time on the basis of the trilogy, and there have been nominations before. The last award is almost the same as now. For almost ten years, everything is driving the Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Adrian to his throne. All he has to do is to guide and follow this trend, even if someone opposes it, it will not help.
Similarly, the best actress is also so interesting. Cate and Sophie are famous for their "Warm Warm Inner Light" and "Rose Life", but at the major awards ceremony at the beginning of the year, they were one There are no awards, no matter whether it is the actor union award, the director union award, or the awards of various film critic associations. The Golden Globe Award is not to mention, so many people are not very optimistic about them.
"Someone made an analysis of the past Oscar Awards. Native American actors are far more likely to get performance awards than actors from other places. Obviously, Oscars are always only Americans’ own games, so this year’s nomination list European actors don’t care too much.” Some British newspapers reported that, of course, I also did not forget to mock Oscar by the way.
Unfortunately, this is a superficial phenomenon, Cate will not say it, Adrian did not plan to let her top, now since she wants to become the best actress without controversy, it means that she still has a long way to go go. As for Sophie, he was preparing for this day from the beginning, not to mention the help of Weinstein.
One of the biggest factors is that "Fahrenheit 911" won the Golden Palm. After the end of the Cannes Film Festival in May, the French were quite touted and praised it as a work of conscience. After half a year of fermentation, it has gradually faded, but with the documentary officially released in the United States, plus Michael Moore made it clear that this documentary was produced only for the general election at the end of this year, as long as one less person voted for the Bush administration It’s a grade, so the French are excited again, and even the exhaustive reports on it can, by the way, ignore Sophie, who appeared in The Rose of Life.
Even after the "Fahrenheit 911" failed to be shortlisted for the best Oscar documentary, French critics criticized it. Think about how dissatisfied the film school will be. Okay, that's it. It's time to respond well to these idiot-like Gaul chickens, so what is the best way? Maybe someone will find no way, but don’t worry, Weinstein will tell them.
It’s not enough. So Adrian also prepares other things, such as the short film "Supermarket Sleepless". When he started his East Asia trip last year, Sophie took the short film and ran around at various film festivals, although they were all notoriously notorious films-at most it was as famous as the Toronto Film Festival, and more so than the three major film festivals. It is incomparable-but also got some good reviews. The slightly stream of consciousness but not particularly obvious style attracted some people's attention.
The only thing criticized by critics is that Kayden Cross is a little too pretty. After Sophie reversed the gender of her character, although she allowed her to better grasp the entire short film and highlight the style of the film, but also Make Kaiden look a little vase. Kayden is somewhat acting, but it is still very young, if it is a satisfactory movie. She may have a little play. But starring in this short film, plus Sophie's extraordinary play, will inevitably be criticized.
However, despite this, it does not prevent the short film "Supermarket Sleepless" from being shortlisted for the best Oscar, of course. Adrian pushed a hand behind. So, on the 76th Oscar nomination list. In addition to a nomination for the best actress, Sophie also has a nomination for the best short film. This is the first time in Oscar's film history, and it can be imagined how surprising it will be.
With these, coupled with the constant nominations in the past few years, as well as the use of all means of publicity and public relations in secret, just like "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", various factors have gathered together to form a trend. Sophie moved towards the throne behind the shadow.
So Adrian likes to take advantage of his power. His plan to ascend to the throne for himself is to use this power to the extreme. Although it takes a long-term plan to do this, it is not difficult for him, is it? Of course, if there is no long-term planning, such a success rate will not be high, such as --
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry you didn't get a gold gramophone, Wei Niu," Adrian had to raise his hands in the face of the sighing Avril Lavigne.
The Grammys will always be held before the Oscars. This year is no exception. Oscars are scheduled for the last day of the leap in February. Then the Grammys will be held 21 days in advance on February 8. Several of the most popular female singers in Universal Music are shortlisted, but the awards are still the same. Christina and Beyonce have won each, while Britney and Avril have no results.
Britney doesn’t matter. Adrian was the one who created her momentum. She won the best album award with the best number of female singers in the world. Even if it’s still uncomfortable, it’s not worse than Christina, but it’s not bad. So once and twice. But Avril Lavigne has not gained anything in Grammy so far. Only a few nominations were easily won, which is naturally very depressed.
So, when Adrian came to see them, but ridiculed a few words, the girl immediately blacked her face. Seeing this, he had to apologize before saying.
"Sorry, Ed, I'm a little emotional," Avril quickly realized her gaffe, and apologized after sighing, "but... sitting there watching other people happily continue to get on stage to win prizes And the speech, the originally excited and eager mood slowly cooled down with the passage of time...I felt this way last year, and I felt it again this year, really...very, very bad."
"I understand, Wei Niu." Adrian opened her arms and hugged her, "Don't worry about it, this is the case of the Recording and Science Society. The more popular the singer is, the more it ignores it, as if it would make Gleen It’s ridiculous to be beautiful. It’s really ridiculous in this case. In this case, you need to have a normal heart and a good work. Normal heart can make you better face honor and music, and a good work can let the recording and scientific society look at your You don’t need their approval, you are still the most popular rock witch."
He speaks with emotion, but what I get is Avril’s eyes: "Come on, Ed, these are words that are often talked about~IndoMTL.com~ But the problem is, knowing is the same thing , It's another matter to do it."
"So as long as you come a few more times, you will know what to do." A cheerful voice came from behind, and then a body hugged her from behind, "Hi, Ivy."
"Bubu?" Avril, who was startled, turned her head, then looked at the girl in front of her angrily, and then greeted Christina who followed into the lounge.
"I knew that you must be a step ahead of us, and you are always like this." Britney said with a grin, "Maybe I should learn from you, how can I fly to the master's side in the first place, "
Britney has become accustomed to calling Adrian the master in front of more and more people. Of course, they are all very familiar with each other. Similarly, Avril has rolled her eyes because of this.
"You have to learn the habit, Ivy," Britney said indifferently. "Like me, I am still not sure, and then the master will give me a reward."
After she finished laughing, she took Adrian's arm, and the intimate attachment made Avril rolled her eyes again, and immediately went out: "Well, you talk slowly, I still have something." ( To be continued...)
