Chapter 137 At the Party

After chatting with Will and others for a few more words, Adrian left immediately. Although Will's works in the past two years have not cooperated with a film company under AC Media, he still maintains close contact with him, otherwise he would not have wanted to have a role in "The Matrix".

It seems that some movies can be advanced. Adrian thought so. "Man in Black 2" will be released this year, and Michael Bay also wants to put "Jedi Men 2" on the agenda to save the major losses he suffered because of "Pearl Harbor". However, Adrian did not intervene in these movies, so the prospects are still difficult to say.

Whether it is Asimov's "I, Robot" or Richard Matherson's "I Am a Legend", the copyright of the movie has been taken. A certain biography has not yet been released, but the prototype has been found, and its 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, there is no problem in focusing on filming and release it. Adrian admires him very much, and he can't find a more suitable black actor besides him.

After wandering around the party, although he dealt with a lot of Yingying YànYànYàn Nicole's queen further confirmed another title that Adrian has just risen: the master of the actress.

As long as he plays the leading actress in the movie he directs himself, 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, implicitly, directly or implicitly.

However, Adrian's main energy is still on his own women. This is an Oscar Night party after all. Even if there is a woman he really wants to try, he will find another opportunity instead of now, not to mention that there are other arrangements tonight.

Oh, don't do this, my dear, know that you are Laura, this is a fact that everyone admits.Adrian said to Kate with a sly smile.

Then I shouldn't have consolidated the image of an action actor with the sequel to Tomb Raider.Kate shrugged.

Of course, just, you know, there are only two cases where the game adapted movies can succeed, and I am not optimistic about the prospects of the "Resident Evil" series. It's not much if it is produced at a medium cost, but if the investment is too large, it is very easy to lose money.

Adrian smiled slightly, so the same is true for Tomb Raider, so for a long time, the second part will not start.

Kate didn't say anything, but just looked at him steadily, and after a while, he snapped his fingers: I understand.

oh?Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Don't think I didn't see the setting draft you drew.Kate hummed softly, picked up the cup and looked elsewhere, a black tight leather jacket...

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

Isn't it?Kate replied directly with his eyes.

OK, let's not talk about this.Adrian shrugged, wasn’t he just playing Laura? He has played role-playing before, so stingy, I just think you are the default.

After saying that, he drank the champagne in his glass and was about to leave. Kate frowned and was about to speak when he suddenly came over and kissed her at the corner of her mouth.

This action immediately made her stunned. Do such an intimate move at a party with so many people?

But Kate immediately reacted. Lily was him and her daughter, and it was no big deal for Adrian to do so. But just a few seconds were enough to make him flash into the crowd and find out where he could not find out.

asshole!Kate shouted fiercely in his heart, then sighed again, already getting used to it.

The movie I talked about is naturally "Legend of the Night". Although Adrian has many movies to arrange for Kate, he likes the style, temperament and charm she shows in it, and wants to see Kate performing as a woman. So as early as the late 1990s, someone wrote the novel, and then put it on the agenda after Kate relied on "Tomb Raider". Of course, the responsible director had to choose.

I look forward to you giving me a more mysterious, sexy and cool goddess of the moon, dear Kate.Adrian thought proudly.

Then after chatting with Sarah, Julia, Zeta Jones, or Lin Chi-ling and Rachel, he soon came to the young girl who had basically said a few words tonight.

There is no doubt that Miss Hueyes broke the record entirely by luck. As for a little girl in her early teens, her performance in the movie is just a normal one, but the film school needs to expand its influence, so young age is actually an advantage.

Adrian talked to several young people. No matter what, in my eyes, Natalie's performance is the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Actress.

He said and looked at Natalie. Although the latter gave him a perfunctory smile, other young people showed an ambiguous smile in their eyes.

Oh, by the way, I still have a date and I'm temporarily out of company.One of the young men had a wink. After Adrian said such words, he had already understood and immediately left.

With his leading role, the other people also said goodbye. In just a few seconds, only Adrian and Natalie were left here.

It was so beautiful, maybe... Natalie's expression was somewhat unpredictable.

Don't worry, Nada.

Adrian smiled slightly, you just need to keep your current appearance. They will only think that I have not caught you yet. Think about it, how many curious and praiseful eyes will be attracted by the girl who can't even deal with that playboy?

Natalie's face changed, she turned her head and didn't say anything again.

Why, are you still angry, I asked the TV station to change your words?Adrian shrugged.

No, you are right, I was indeed a little impulsive at that time.

Natalie agreed with his previous remarks in an abnormal manner. She should make herself look consistent in her expressions no matter what. Even if it is just a superficial expression, it is appropriate for you to ask the TV station to pinch that passage when it is broadcast.

I know it's hard to accept. Although you try to adjust yourself, it's really unwilling to let a child surpass him so quickly, and it would be the same if it were me.

Adrian still showed that calmness, but don’t worry, Nada, I have already made arrangements for you, all you have to do now is accumulation.

Natalie bit her lip, why didn't she just say anything?

Why did it then start to conform to Adrian’s previous remarks?

It's very simple. This is very likely a trap. Think about it. If it had been circulated that she was the only woman who was the only woman who was not pursued by a certain playboy, it would certainly bring special attention and make her imagination very positive, but if it suddenly broke out one day, she would have been taken by him long ago, and everything was performed for the audience to see, what kind of storm would it cause?!

Although Natalie couldn't think of a reason for Adrian to do this, she believed that he would probably do it. Every time she recalled the look he looked at her that night and the various methods he had done to oppress her later, she felt chilling.

Out of planning for the future, she said that, indirectly expressing surrender, and in the second place, it was for testing.

Even so, Natalie was not sure that Adrian would listen. In front of him, she had nothing but fear and helplessness, and at the same time she could not give up. Since he could make her the youngest nominee for Best Actress, he could naturally give her more. However, the record of being replaced in a year was indeed difficult for her to accept, so her contradictory thoughts made her, who could be confident in anything else, become suspicious and timid in front of Adrian.

Why?Natalie suddenly asked, what is worth my part?

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

He looked into her eyes and seemed quite serious: Maybe you won’t believe it, but when I saw you at first, I felt a very wonderful feeling.I'm not a pedophile, but you really had a strange charm at that time, and it was hard not to have a good impression of you.Especially after collaborating on "This Killer Not Too Cold", this strange appeal is even stronger.I never realized that maybe it was because of morality that I chose to ignore it, but that attraction never disappeared, and I kept accumulating this in the deepest part of my heart until it was detonated that day.

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

He paused at this point before he smiled slightly: I know what you are thinking, Nada, but you are thinking too much.Even if the trust between us no longer exists, other connections are still there, aren’t we?I said that as long as you are willing to stay by my side, I will let you reach the peak of this circle. You know I can do it completely, so why should you worry about those?

I don't believe you.Natalie said this 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 in the past few years, I have never changed my attitude.But everything I planned for you will be realized within four to five years. From now on, I hope you will change yourself a little, and of course, I will still respect you.

A ray of light flashed through Natalie's eyes. After taking a deep breath, she asked dryly: Four to five years?

Yes.Adrian nodded very solemnly.

She had no choice, although it seemed like it was a choice, in fact Adrian was not going to give her a choice, and she didn't want it.

As his hints, who else can give her what she wants besides him?

So these slightly long-winded and vague words were just to make her feel at ease.

If Natalie thought about getting rid of Adrian at the beginning, but as AC Media grew stronger and stronger, Adrian achieved one achievement after another, she became more and more desperate and eager.

He had a deep impression on her that day. He digged out her thoughts that were hidden very well and placed them nakedly in front of the two of them. It would be nothing if she had broken free at that time, but in the end, not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but was firmly held by the other party.

But he also kept giving her what she wanted, such as the youngest best actress nomination a year ago.

As I said before, all she could have in front of him was fear and helplessness, but at the same time she didn't want to give up, so it was no wonder she thought so much.

This is not what Adrian, who secretly promoted the little girl in "Whale Knight", wanted to see, but Natalie's feeling of comforting him will not work, so she can only find another way, such as spreading things more openly: I can give you what you want, and I have already planned to give you, so in exchange for your more obedience to me.

But this also fits his plan. Even if there is no current opportunity, Adrian will create an opportunity not to make a transaction, but an opportunity to say that word: four to five years.

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

Soon, Adrian came to Blanchett again, and she was talking with Liv excitedly about the theater in Sydney.

I was about to renovate the surroundings and plant some lawns and plants, so that the audience can relax more when they come to the theater. Liv, if you are interested, you might as well try performing a stage play there.

Blanchett said with a smile.

Really, what started to open?Liv asked with interest.

I can't say anything, there hasn't been a specific time yet.Blanchett shrugged.

What she meant was, don't think about it this year.Adrian, who was listening quietly next to him, smiled and interrupted.

You just don't want the theater to open as soon as possible.

Blanchett then watched him pick up his arms. If she wasn't wearing a evening dress but a women's suit and trousers, and a pair of black-framed glasses, it would be very suitable for this action.

I think it is necessary to check how the recent sponsorship is going.Adrian said irresponsible.

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

Like Monica, Blanchett has also begun to shift his interest to other aspects, such as buying a stake in the Sydney Theater and serving as artistic director.

If Adrian hadn't, she should have performed at the Sydney Theater for a few years before entering Hollywood after becoming the number one actor at the Sydney Theater.

However, although she was brought to Hollywood by Adrian in advance, she never gave up her love for drama. Just like Rachel always had to go back to the UK to participate in some drama performances after staying in the United States for a long time, Blanchett would return to Sydney to play comedy from time to time after the initial period. Adrian would also take time to support her. Of course, it is also necessary to violate her costumes in the backstage.

After the successful blockade, Blanchett slowly shifted part of her energy to drama. Adrian naturally expressed his support. Not only did he follow her to invest in the Sydney Theater, but he also helped her gain the right to speak in the theater. At the beginning of this year, she also starred in a drama at the Sydney Theater and received considerable praise.

I can also perform on Broadway occasionally, and maybe I can win a Tony Award.Adrian once said to her.

So when he said he wanted to check the sponsorship for the Sydney Theater, Blanchett changed his words immediately, even Liv was a little surprised at how fast he was.

You seem to be questioning Ed, Kate in the last sentence.Liv couldn't help but remind him.

That's the previous sentence.Blanchett said without changing his face, and then threatened: I think it is more appropriate to change the heroine of "Queen".

Liv immediately shut up, okay, even the Queen has a cute and interesting side.

It's so depressing. I thought I could get a nomination this year.Liv complained at this time, changing the subject.

The reason she said this is because the Quille, which she starred in last year, also received several nominations, but they are all technical and none of them are performance.

The movie was originally released in 2000 and then competed for the Oscars in 2001, but because Adrian carefully created the image of a literary vase for Liv, he got the copyright of the film for this stage play early, and then postponed the production to 2000.

Perhaps because of the change of directors, despite the help of Jeffrey Rush, Joaquin Phoenix and Michael Cain, the film still only received a few nominations such as Best Art Director and Best Clothing, and all of them lost to "The Moulin Rouge". Jeffrey Rush deserved nominations for Best Actor.

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

At least the Golden Globe Awards are nominated, which is already a progress.

Adrian immediately said comfortingly, and then remembered something and asked: By the way, where is Gwyne?I went around the party but didn't see her.

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

Disappointment after disappointment, of course sad.Blanchett became a smile, and she had obviously understood Adrian's plan.

Well…it looks like I have to leave.

Adrian didn't care at all. I think Gwyne would definitely not go back to your villa. She has accommodations in Santa Monica and Burbank. Where are the most likely to go?

Why not go back to your parents' home?Blanchett raised his eyebrows and did not answer positively.

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

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

Kate!Adrian narrowed his eyes.

OK, Santa Monica.Blanchett shrugged.
