King of Hollywood Chapter 34: No accidents
Two days later, on February 15, Adrian notified Claude. To prevent possible eavesdropping, he deliberately hired Claude and revealed the date in the cafe he used to visit.
"January 17, early morning." He didn't talk nonsense and said it straight after sitting down.
"I see." Claude also had only a short sentence, picked up a cup of coffee, and then left.
He did not ask the source, nor did he verify the authenticity of the news, nor did he raise any questions because he agreed to Adrian. This is called trust, and this is the friendship of the dead party.
Okay, everything is ready, but after coming back home, Adrian ushered in an unexpected person-the financial consultant who took care of his property is also his personal accountant, Regert ·Marshall.
Reggot was serving his Adrian father very early. For decades, he has always been loyal to his father. To say that in addition to the godfather and Claude, Adrian can trust someone wholeheartedly, Regget is undoubtedly one of them, and his position is still the first private lawyer who served Adrian father Wilson Gardner supremacy.
"It’s very inappropriate for you to do this, Mr. Adrian." As soon as he sat down, he took out several financial statements and pushed them in front of Adrian. Then he said in a public office tone.
"Let me call Ed, Uncle Regatt." Adrian rubbed the sides of his head with a wry smile. Generally speaking, Reggot talked in this tone, which means that he has important and unpleasant opinions. To elaborate. Although it is Adrian's business to listen, it is his business to say nothing.
Regget didn't speak, just frowned slightly.
"I know what you want to say, Uncle Regatt, I have my own considerations." Reggot came here to think and know with his knees, Adrian tries to make his tone appear sincere, he does not want to lose This excellent and loyal accountant.
"I will just say it, Ed, you put too much, the risk is too great, and you may overturn the ship if you are careless. Yes, Claude is very good on this, but you, not this one Expectations." Although the words are very merciless, it can be seen from the change in the title that Reggot is not malicious.
"I know, Uncle Regget, I know this is risky, so I gave it to Crowe to operate." Adrian made a gesture to enhance his tone, "I need to accumulate funds quickly."
"There are many ways to accumulate funds quickly, but you have chosen the most risky path."
"But this is also the fastest and most profitable road, as long as I win!"
Adrian took a deep breath and looked seriously at Reggot sitting in front of him: "It’s been almost a year, Uncle Regatt, you should see my change. I was too late With so much time and money, I just want to get them back! I know what I am doing, I know what I want, and I still have room for this gambling. Why did I not have it with you for a whole year Too many intersections? Because I want to prove myself, I want to prove that I am no longer the one who didn’t know anything before, the young and frivolous Adrian, I have my own goals and what I want to do! I know you care Me, Uncle Regatt, I am very grateful, but I need your support now!"
Regget did not speak for a while, but stared at Adrian with a sharp eye. After a long time, he stood up and owed slightly: "I understand, Ed, then, as you wish."
relieved in his heart, Adrian stood up and extended his hand: "Thank you, Uncle Regatt."
"I will take care of everything for you, please let me know if you have any need." Reggot said with a stern hand.
A smile wafted from Adrian's face. He had planned to talk to Regget after the incident passed, which would be more convincing. According to the memory of the previous Adrian, when he was a financial advisor, he was not only flexible but also rigorous and meticulous, and he was not as joking as Wilson's lawyers. He wanted to persuade such a person not to take any effort. No way.
Unexpectedly, he is now actively looking for the door. Fortunately, Adrian has done a lot of preparation work before, and the image of sweeping the decadence and rejuvenation has added a lot of points to him, and finally got it. Support from each other. This means that the cheap father—well, if it is not a cheap father from the point of view of that few souls—the team that he left behind will then be at his fingertips.
The rest now is to wait for the US military to launch an offensive. The pressure on it is undoubtedly huge for Adrian, even the reason and calmness that he is most proud of after rebirth will not work for a moment, every day Work efficiency is extremely low. Fortunately, this pressure did not last long. Two days later, in the early hours of January 17, local time, six US aircraft carrier groups and multinational forces assembled in the Persian Gulf launched an air attack on Silly Damu.
Adrian took a long breath and then... continued to bury it in the post-production and ignored it. Yes, this is just the beginning, and the final result will not be known until the end of the war, but since it has been fully handed over to Claude, let him do it well, at least half a month later to inform him when to end so Clear in advance. As for the world shocked by the war... What does it have to do with him?
In the next ten days, Adrian resumed his previous life. He worked in the editing room at the end of the working time, wrote and wrote at home, exercised during exercise, and coaxed Cate on the phone. Looking at the formation of "Memento" a little bit in my hand, a feeling of excitement spontaneously emerged, although this feeling is not more satisfying than the Cate moaning underneath, although the movie brings him something more than necessary. Not enough, but it is undoubtedly helping him to reach his goal step by step.
Compared to the unconcerned Adrian, Lavern is much more worried. He is worried that this year’s Berlin Film Festival will be cancelled due to the war in the Persian Gulf. In this case, he must rearrange the promotion of the new film.
"Relax, Laffer, this year's Berlin Film Festival will never be cancelled, wait to see it." Adrian reassured him several times. In his memory, the 91-year-old Berlin Film Festival was held as scheduled.
In fact, even if he can’t remember whether to cancel, just look at the reality and know that this is impossible. Germany was finally unified in October last year, and the Berlin Wall was overthrown in November. How could West Germany miss this opportunity to show East Germany?
Of course, this has nothing to do with Adrian. The purpose of participating in the Berlin Film Festival is only one-publicity!
With a roar, the picture finally turned on. A man with a gun in his head turned his head and yelled about what he wanted to do, but after a gunshot, he fell to the ground and his blood was splashing everywhere. . Then, a stubborn and decadent male face appeared in the camera. He looked at the dead person with indifferent eyes, and then dropped his pistol and pulled out the polaroid to snap the picture out.
The camera quickly spit out the photo, the man took the photo in front of himself and flicked it, waited a few seconds for the image and then flicked it, so after three times the image of the quick photo was finally fully revealed , Followed, the lens suddenly changed to black and white, followed by the tired and blank eyes of the man who shot.
"Where am I? In a hotel room?" The narration rang inside.
In the next few minutes, the man who shot and killed the man was sitting on the bed in the motel, telling his confusion and confusion by the side.
The whisper of burglary sounded in the cinema. The audience was obviously inexplicable. Why did they jump to the hotel when they just killed someone? Okay, this is a suspense set by the director, but why is the picture black and white? Before they finished thinking, the man in the camera had already finished speaking about his doubts, and then the picture turned back to color again.
"This person, have you seen it?" The man put the picture in the window and asked the person inside.
The person in the photo was obviously the one he killed first. Then, the person walked in from the outside and greeted the actor very warmly. It seemed that he had a good relationship with him.
suddenly attracted the audience. Since the relationship between the two is good, why should the actor kill him? And I can tell from the lines that the male protagonist seems to have something wrong~IndoMTL.com~ seems to be related to memory.
Soon, the two chatted a few words and then went to an abandoned hut in the suburbs. The protagonist of the advanced house took out a picture from his clothes. That is a picture of the man. Written: Don’t be fooled by him anymore, it’s him, kill him!
"How long have I been looking for?" the actor murmured, and then let the other party down while he was not paying attention, then dragged it inside and pointed his gun at his head.
"I finally found you, confess my wife, bastard." the actor said.
However, the other party did not show much panic. Instead, he laughed that he didn’t even know who he was. Everything had to be remembered by photos, and at the same time encouraged him to go to the basement with himself, because there were The truth he didn't know.
The protagonist seemed to believe his words, but the man named Teddy suddenly struggled, so he pulled the trigger without hesitation and made a bang.
The camera rotates again at this time, and the screen becomes black and white again and returns to the situation where the actor was in the hotel. The inner narration also sounded: "It’s just a normal room with empty drawers..."
Audiences whispered again, they didn’t understand what the director wanted to express, why the picture was black and white for a while, and why the plot was so severe.
However, compared with the last time, these thefts are much quieter. Some people still see the key points. Besides, there are a lot of suspense left in the plot, such as the hero’s illness? Teddy is very familiar with him and knows his situation. Why did he kill him? What happened to his wife? All these are enough to attract people to continue watching.
