Chapter 196 Two Things

According to psychologists, sexual addiction is a mental illness caused by excessive stress or some factors.

This thing had a preliminary concept in 1976, but it was not until 1987 that it was a definite definition. It has only been ten years since now. If nothing unexpected happens, it will become a marginal word and it will be gradually accepted by society in more than ten years.

Since this is nothing unexpected, then this word will be quickly promoted. Naturally, something unexpected happened, and Clinton made an indelible contribution.

Although the unlucky president has not yet encountered a zipper door incident, it will not be too far away. The plaintiff's lawyer for a sexual harassment case in Clinton has begun to transfer evidence of him being flirted with. It will take a moment or later to break out.

Strictly speaking, sex addiction is actually unproven. It is at best just a hobby, just like some people like reading, some people like playing chess, and some people like to chat on the Internet.

The same is true for the playboy who likes to pursue beautiful women. This is just one example of wanting to use rigid rules to describe and regulate people's desires. It is worthy of praise but also ridiculous.

However, the zipper door incident made this word widely known. Perhaps Clinton was pushing it or not. It is undeniable that the word sex addiction gave him a suitable excuse and had a reasonable explanation in front of Sheila. So whether the word is credible or not remains to be discussed will be ignored. This is the celebrity effect.

Therefore, Adrian said that all the men who cheat in the world should thank him. When they make a mistake, they can swear to tell each other that it is not that I want this, but that I just can't control myself. I should go to see a psychiatrist.

Countless potentially broken families have been saved, and countless psychologists can support themselves because of this. This is a great achievement, right?

Well, in a broad sense, whether it is reading or drinking tea, these daily behaviors are still a little addicted after a long time, but they are not big. People with a little bit of self-control can control themselves, let alone Adrian.

Many times his behavior seems to be unscrupulous and irresponsible, but in fact he has considered it carefully. From the moment he decided on his goals, he always remained calm and kept moving forward. Otherwise, even with the help of Claude, how could he establish the prototype of the empire in just a few years, and how could he put them one by one on the collection shelf?

In short, this is meaningless, but it just finds medical evidence for some people's excuses.But, no matter what you say, thank you for everything you did for me.

Adrian said as he kissed Charlize's cheek.

The word sex addiction is still very rare now. Charlize would ask him this. Obviously, he has read many books, and this is enough to make him express it.

There are many nonsense.Charlize, who was so refuted that he spoke, said this in the end without admitting his defeat, but did not mention the word again, and crawled out of his arms and left.

With her around and the group's scale continues to expand, Adrian is still very clear about the gossip trends of the tabloids. They can write it anyway, as long as it goes beyond the bottom line.

At least they guessed something right. He and Nicole were having a hot fight recently. Adrian said before that when a woman keeps breaking the lower limit in front of you, she will have no lower limit.

Since Nicole has made a choice, whether it is willing or under Adrian's temptation and force, she has let go of herself after all, so she is particularly enthusiastic when responding.

Oh, I can't say that I'm passionate, I should...

How to say it, every time she was in bed, she seemed to be fighting a war, trying her best to defeat Adrian, as if she was willing to sacrifice her life.

Adrian is very welcome to this. You should know that whether it is Monica, Julia, or Gwyneth and Blanchett, he can easily settle it, let alone Nicole.

All Adrian enjoyed her body, and at the end she would make her as limp as mud. Of course, he did not forget to pay the $1 in prostitution, and Nicole was also fighting with him, and she would suffer without hesitation every time. It was really fun.

Okay, let’s not mention these things and gossip rumors for the time being. Although the newly released "Los Angeles Secret" has gained a lot of reputation, its box office is not very good. It only won 8 million in the first week of the 1,000 theaters, which is quite standard.

This is quite in line with the judgment of the manager's assistant. Nostalgic people are the main force in consuming this movie. If it is placed in the Christmas season, it will definitely not be able to compete with those big productions.

Adrian also rewarded and encouraged that assistant again, talent is important no matter whenever.

As for the box office of "Los Angeles Secret", as long as the cost can be maintained, the main purpose of this movie is not here.

By late January, another eye-catching thing happened, and a catwalk was held on the spot during the annual Super Bowl during the break.

However, this show is different from other things. There are no strange fashions, only underwear with different styles, and those seductive underwear models!

It is conceivable that when these curved models walk out in only seductive underwear, how many men will be thrilled.

And with the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl, ABC has played the entire process, and several portals have also broadcast live on the Internet, so people quickly remembered this ostentatious underwear brand: Victoria's Secret!

The Super Bowl is one of the biggest events in the United States. The ratings have always been high. As long as you can get the broadcast rights, you will always make money and not lose money. Many advertisers want to insert advertisements in the event, which will cost millions in a few seconds.

Many actors or singers are also very eager to show their side in the Super Bowl. As long as they show their side, their popularity will increase a lot, even Madonna and Michael Jackson.

It is conceivable how much benefit Victoria's Secret has gained. You should know that the popularity of the models even suppressed the subsequent performances, and became the most talked about topic at this Super Bowl. In just a few days, sales doubled and reputation has increased a lot, and building a high-end brand is just around the corner.

I have to admit that you always see one step more than others.After giving the specific situation to the Victoria's Secret, Claude called Adrian over and opened a bottle of champagne in the office.

Therefore, it is worth spending a lot of money to compete for broadcasting rights.Adrian raised the cup in his hand. Now you don’t object to fighting for more broadcast rights, right?

I have never objected, I just thought I should seize the opportunity, after all, it was a turnaround broadcast.Claude smiled sly.

As I said just now, NFL events and the Super Bowl are the few shows that only make money but not lose money, especially the Super Bowl, which is almost one of the must-see programs for Americans.

The Super Bowl was first broadcasted by NBC, but eating alone is bound to be unpleasant. Therefore, as the Super Bowl's ratings grew, the other three TV stations also participated, and in the end, like the split NFL event broadcasting rights, the Super Bowl became a take-off broadcast by four wireless broadcasters.

But even so, you need to speak with money. The higher the price you pay, the easier it is to get more broadcast rights.

NBC and CBS have always been the majority. After all, among the four major broadcasters, they have the strongest capital, and then FOX is second, and ABC is at the end. There is no way. From the mid-1980s to the present, ABC has been in losses most of the time. If it weren't for the good agreement, they might not have been able to get it in a season.

This situation improved after AC Media acquired them. With the injection of new funds and the broadcast of several programs with good ratings, ABC finally recovered and took this opportunity to win the Super Bowl broadcast rights at the beginning of 1998. Just then, the new round of NFL event broadcast rights negotiations began again, so Adrian suggested taking the opportunity to spend a lot of money to win at least 10 seasons of the Super Bowl broadcast rights.

Although Claude doesn't like football very much, he also knows the influence of the Super Bowl. He was a little hesitant at the beginning, thinking that there were a little more seasons in 10, and ABC has just gotten out of the predicament.

However, after seeing the huge effect of Victoria's Secret's catwalk on the Super Bowl, I made up my mind.

With this platform, we can arrange the singers or actors we want to promote to perform on it to gain popularity, just like Victoria's Secret.

Adrian said after he fucked the champagne in his hand.

Yeah?Claude responded without comment, as if he had seen through his thoughts with a smile, and Adrian shrugged indifferently.

I have an idea, Ed.Claude suddenly changed the subject, maybe we should buy two or three teams too.

oh?Adrian raised his eyebrows, do you have any good suggestions?

Generally speaking, American group companies will buy more or less several teams to play. For example, TBS originally had two ice hockey teams and one basketball team, but AC Media sold them all out after taking over, just to see that the basketball team was left on Ted Turner. Even so, Turner was still depressed for a long time.

There are many football sports in the United States and their popularity is also different. Rugby is the most popular, you can tell from the super high ratings of the Super Bowl.

Baseball is second and basketball is second, followed by ice hockey, etc. Mr. Qiao once made basketball surpass baseball and the second most popular event before he retired, but it was just a flash in the pan. Although he is now serving again, he can no longer change the overall situation.

In short, it is also very important to have a popular team in a popular event. In essence, this is no different from the comparison between the rich, but with a lot of gorgeous coats, it looks unique and superior.

So, there is no doubt that Cloud is targeting one in the NFL.

There are a few considerations, but not now.Claude laughed, I know your plan, don't be nervous.

Adrian smiled without saying a word. The last piece of the puzzle had not been put into pieces. It was indeed a bit too early to say this, and even if it was put into pieces, it only meant that the foundation was laid. If you want to make the empire look more gorgeous and worthy of its reputation, you still need to continue to work hard.

Of course, it won't be too long, it only takes two or three years.

What about you, Ed, what suggestions do you have?Claude suddenly asked.

I?Adrian raised his eyebrows. To be honest, he was really not interested in the NFL, but when it comes to the team.

I really want to buy the Lakers, but I don’t know how to deal with that old guy Jerry Bass.He spread his hands and said.

Why the Lakers?Claude asked with interest.

Because it's a team from Los Angeles.Adrian lies without changing his face.

So are the Clippers.

It's not as good as the Lakers, and Jerry Bass and Donald Sterling are still friends. If you really want to satisfy my wish, Crowe will find a way to get Bass done.

This topic is stopped here. Although it is not particularly difficult to sell the Lakers from Bass, it is definitely not easy. Just like Cloud's idea of ​​buying a football team, let's wait for the last piece of the puzzle to play.

At the end of January 1998, in addition to the stunning Super Bowl show on Victoria's Secret, something happened. For many people, this was not an important thing, but it is worth remembering for Adrian and the person involved. Britney's first album was released, and the first wave of title songs also began to hit the charts. The name of this song is "Baby, Love Me Again".

Hi, how are you all listeners? I am your faithful Warden Jackson!Oh, every time I read my name, I can't help but complain, why did my father name me Warden instead of Michael, otherwise I would be so proud, you know that MJ told me that I was only a little worse than him in singing "Beat It"...

Listening to the sound coming from the radio, one of the girls in front of him couldn't help but complain: Hell, this guy is so nagging.

Perhaps because of her complaint, the radio host changed the topic: OK OK OK, let's start the official topic quickly. The director is going crazy in front of him. If he doesn't get to the point, he will kill me.So the first thing I want to recommend today is the work of a newcomer. The first song of a 16-year-old girl's first album is both lively and cute, full of vitality and a hint of sweetness, and a strong sense of rhythm, which is very suitable for young people.So, let’s listen to Britney Spears’s “Baby, Love Me Again”!

As the rhythm of ups and downs came out, the girls waiting in front of them immediately began to cheer, and the girls surrounded by them were particularly excited.

How about it, this is my new song!I can't wait to know which one will be ranked after the Billboard list comes out.

Britney shouted to her friends proudly, and a group of girls immediately cast a look of envy or jealousy at her.

At least it should be within the top 20.A girl thought about it and said, the MTV of this song was also good, and Britney was very beautiful.

Who knows, maybe it might be possible to squeeze into the top ten.Another girl made a different opinion.

On the radio, Britney's slightly hoarse sweet voice kept floating out. I have to admit that her voice was indeed very interesting and very popular. Soon the girls began to hum and Britney became even more proud.

Soon, at the end of the song, the host's funny voice rang again: Oh, it's really beautiful, the sweet magnetic voice makes people think of it. Well, I decided, I must invite her to be a guest in the next episode of the show. I want to know what kind of sweet and cute girl she is. If you want to know too, then please pray that my dear producer will agree to my request.

Wow, Britney is on the radio show of Warden Jackson.

He actually wanted to know how sweet and cute you are. I really envy you, Britney.

A bunch of girls started to rush and pushed Britney around the middle.

OK, didn’t he say that, and it also requires the consent of the producer of the show.Even though Britney said so, her chin was raised high, and her proud look did not diminish at all.

But she quickly screamed when she thought of something, and then she started to pack up in a panic, as if she was about to go out.

Has something happened?a girl asked.

I almost forgot that I would go to the record company to talk to the art director this afternoon about some issues. I'm so sorry, I can't be with you anymore.

Britney said apologetically, then ran downstairs for a moment.

Mom, I'm going out for a while, maybe I'll come back later.She ran a few rooms before she found her mother in the corner of the kitchen. To her surprise, her father was also here.

What's wrong, dear?Lynn asked her daughter.

Britney repeated the previous words once.

I'll send you there.Jamie Spears next to him said at this time.

No, Dad, I just need to find a taxi to go there. This is not a big deal. If it is fast, I will come back later. If it is slow, it may be one night.

Britney said refusingly.

Hey Britney, can we follow us?Several other girls also ran down from the upper floor.

Oh, no, I have something to talk to the art director today. If you want to visit, I can apply for you. If the company agrees, you can go at any time.

As Britney's voice went away, the girls quickly left the kitchen, and the two adults then withdrew their gaze.

You should follow, Jamie.Lynn said dissatisfiedly at this time.

Don't worry, she is not a child, if I follow her, it will only make her disgusted.Jamie shrugged indifferently.

But... Lynn originally wanted to say something, but after spitting out two words, he closed his mouth again.

What are you worried about?Worry about her having a boyfriend?Jamie said jokingly.

Maybe it was my illusion.Lynn did not deny it, frowned and sighed, always feeling that she had been...

Okay, don’t worry about these things. Let’s talk about the results when they come out. Maybe it’s not going well.Jamie said in a relaxed tone, but the excitement flashed in his eyes betrayed his thoughts.

OK, anyway, be careful.Lynn didn't say much, if Bubu really became a big star...

I know what to do.Jamie immediately said, this is our opportunity!
