Chapter 62 Comparison

So, which of these two movies do you prefer?Julia, wearing pajamas, smearing jam on the bread, raised her eyebrows after hearing Adrian finish speaking.

Unfortunately, this trick never worked for him. After taking a sip of the morning coffee, Adrian breathed a lot of satisfaction: I like both.

Even though I know that he is a playboy and I have accepted it, isn’t it a waste of fun to ask such a question?But Julia's purpose is not here now.

Julie wants to ask another question.Zeta Jones, who was sitting on the other side of Adrian, then picked up the coffee pot and filled his cup, then blinked at Julia: Yes, Julia?

Julia shrugged without comment and handed the spread bread to Adrian. Adrian took it and bit it, then closed his eyes and savored it. Then he gave a thumbs up and praised it, and then said with a chuckle: I believe Julia already has the answer in her heart. No matter what the answer is, it is correct.

There is no doubt that Julia is asking about his relationship with Natalie. In fact, after the release of "Never Compromise", the judgment about Natalie's eighth Miracle Girl emerged again. After all, in recent years, they were all Miracle Girls who were able to play the leading role in movies directed by Adrian in recent years, so it is impossible to say that Natalie has nothing to do with him. You should know that she worked with him in the early 1990s, and it is normal to admire the Miracle Director.

As far as Adrian knows, similar topics have begun to circulate on Harvard campus. I wonder if Evner and Shelley have tried Natalie.

But there is no need to worry too much. He didn't have any choice. He first released the news that Jessica had visited the set before saying that of course, he would definitely not say Jessica by name. After all, she is a single mother, and it would be troublesome if she made some messes.

In short, just reveal that when filming "Bones in Winter", another woman came to visit the set.

It may be difficult for those people in the crew to name it, but it is OK to prove that this is the case. Then, with a series of methods, they may not be able to shut up, but it is still OK to lower the volume. Besides, Adrian did not intend to shut up.

Good morning, Ed!When Julia was about to say something, the little Emma's voice came from the restaurant door, and then the well-dressed little guy appeared in front of the three people yawning.

Good morning, aunt, good morning, Aunt Catherine.While greeting, little Emma took the milk handed over by the servant and drank it.

She was really slow enough. Whether it was Little Emma or Lily here, she would guess what happened to Adrian, Julia, and Zeta Jones at the first time, but this little guy looked like he turned a blind eye.

And this hasn't been once or twice. Zeta Jones often came to Julia's house after playing threesomes with Adrian because she starred in "American Sweetheart" with Julia. She is indeed a decisive woman. Since Adrian made a statement, she is unlikely to leave him for the time being, so she immediately turned to Julia and got close to him.

I don’t know if Julia did it on purpose or Zeta Jones could speak, but Julia actually got along well with her.

In short, in this situation, little Emma can not notice anything, and no wonder she is always eaten by little Emma.

If I want to choose, I will vote for "Never Compromise". The tone alone is enough to make people feel comfortable, not to mention the plot, and "Bone in Winter" looks a bit tough.

Zeta Jones then brought the topic back to the movie. What's interesting is that she was clearly expressing her support for Julia, and she used what Adrian just said, and she was really good at everything.

What do you think, Ed?Julia kicked the ball back to Adrian.

I'm glad I've applied the tones to the extreme.Adrian laughed.

In fact, among all the shooting skills, he has the best control and application of color tones, because he was good at this in his previous life. In addition, while constantly copying in this life, he has been constantly learning and making up for it through comparison. Then, because the style of the films produced is always different, the very exquisite treatment of color tones becomes particularly conspicuous.

What are you talking about?At this time, the little Emma waved the spoon and added it in unwillingly.

Oh, sorry, my dear, I forgot that you are still here.Adrian looked at her with a smile, and we were talking about the movie your dear aunt had just released.

I know I know, it's called "Never Compromise" right!

Little Emma immediately began to show her knowledge, but after watching it for several seconds, she felt embarrassed to grab her head: What is it telling... what story?

A sentence immediately made Adrian and Zeta Jones laugh, while Julia sighed.

OK, I know it's bad, but I can't remember it.

The little guy pouted with grievance, then turned his eyes and asked: By the way, Ed, when will my movie be released?I performed very well, everyone praised me, and I will definitely surprise many people.

They will definitely be shocked, especially when you're on a striptease.Julia gave Little Emma a blank look. She still didn't like the last scene of "The Little Beauty of Sunshine".

Striptease?Zeta Jones was a little surprised, and Adrian then briefly explained the plot of the movie to her.

I've practiced for a long time.The little Emma looked like she was smug and looked like she was complacent and expressed dissatisfaction with her aunt's words.

Don't worry, my dear, the movie will be released soon. Maybe the reviews you received at the beginning are not high, but later I'll guarantee you will have a surprise.

Adrian said that the movies he is following will look for opportunities to watch before they are completed later. How could "The Little Sunshine Beauty" be an exception?

Little Emma's performance may be a bit immature, but Oliver's vitality is still very good. However, because the competition for Christmas is too fierce, and next month may indicate that there are loopholes to take advantage of in the year, so we will naturally make arrangements.

OK, then that's it, as long as you can be better than Charlotte anyway.

Little Emma said, "Small Emma has been successfully changed the topic, there is no need to get entangled anymore." She still has this little cleverness, but she certainly doesn't know that neither Adrian, Julia, or Zeta Jones, neither wants to stick to this topic."

By the way, Ed.Little Emma remembered something and looked at him with hope. Can I play a role in the movie you directed?My aunt always says she has a great time working with you.

Adrian looked at Julia with a chuckle, who glanced at him quietly, saying nothing extra.

Don't worry, Emma, ​​there will be a chance.He then said with a smile.

Speaking of which, I never seem to work with you, Ed.

Zeta Jones said in a casual tone at this time, although he didn't seem to care much, his eyes were always fixed on him.

There will be a chance, Kate.Adrian still looked like he smiled. Only he himself knew what was actually going on.

Then I'll wait.Zeta Jones didn't get too entangled.

Frankly speaking, Adrian did not arrange any works for her, and who made this a deal at the beginning?

Although Zeta Jones has become very obedient, but...

Let's complete this transaction first.

When Adrian had breakfast at Julia's house, the media comparisons about "Never Compromise" and "Bones in Winter" continued. As he said, the two movies are so similar, so clearly distinguished, and they were from the same famous director, and they both were released at the end of the year. It would be strange if they were not compared.

Such a comparison even involved Erin Brockevich herself. At the most exaggerated time, nine out of ten phone calls a day asked her about her opinion on this matter, so she had to briefly mention on her personal website that she first thought "Bones in Winter" was an excellent movie, then recalled the case a few years ago and sighed, and finally said that "Never Compromise" is also a good movie, which made her feel honored and would continue to struggle.

Such a result was expected before the movie was released, so Adrian has been watching calmly. The only thing that can make him pay more attention in the past two days is the third Monday of this month. There is no suspense. Not long ago, the Supreme Court ruled that Florida would re-check the votes with 7 votes to 2 votes, which is very consistent with the identities of the 9 justices 7 are from the Republican Party and 2 are from the Democratic Party.

The final result is that Bush Jr. exceeded Gore's more than 700 votes, so Florida's 25 electoral votes will belong to Bush Jr., which will allow him to lock in the throne of president.

I have to say, dear Ed, you are indeed very visionary, and our investment has once again received a huge return.

Claude said to Adrian very happily, before I could have someone come over to congratulate me, Bush, Sr., had called me to express his gratitude. I think some people's faces must be very good.

There is no doubt that he is talking about several other media giants. AC Media’s actions to show good to George W. Bush are not visible to ordinary people, but they will not be aware of it.

Of course, in their opinion, this is gambling, and the risks are very high. It is difficult to tell who will be the winner until the last moment of the election. Even a guy like Murdoch who has a relatively deep relationship with the government is one of the reasons why big companies and groups will bet on both sides.

In fact, Claude also thinks so. If Adrian hadn't insisted on a gamble, even if he would show kindness to Bush Jr., it would have been quite limited. However, it seems that such gambling is very worthwhile now. Even News Group, which is completely Republican, probably did not expect that AC Media would gain an advantage in this way.

Such a slight advantage does make it difficult to make a correct judgment, but this is not what I think of first.Adrian looked through the information about the election and what I thought of was that curse.

curse?Claude asked inexplicably.

Have you never heard of it?Anyone who becomes the president of the United States in a year when the end number is 0 will die in his or her life during his term of office.

Adrian dropped the things in his hand and laughed, Lincoln, McKinley, Roosevelt, Kennedy, all of them. So far, only Reagan has escaped, which is said to be the curse of an Indian chief who was killed in the Promenade in the 1830s and 1840s.

Where did you hear such a boring thing?Claude couldn't help but sigh while covering his forehead.

OK, let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about when we can get AT&T Bradband.

Adrian laughed, and several other media groups must have other means.

Don't worry, after Mr. Bush is sworn in next month, the plan can begin. I have clearly stated to Bush during the negotiations.As for other media groups, don’t worry, the advantage lies with us now, and I have prepared several backup plans.

Claude said in a relaxed tone.

Then I'll wait and see.Since this is the case, Adrian felt relieved. Although there were more and more variables in the future, he was still in his reach. His empire would definitely be completed!

After confirming that the process of acquiring AT&T Bradband was not hindered much, Adrian once again focused on the movie and finally said a few words for "Never Compromise".

Both movies are my works, so I like them both. Whether it is "Bone in Winter" or "Never Compromise" they all reflect certain social phenomena, and they all exist in society, so there is no need to distinguish between the superiority and inferiority.In fact, I just want to tell stories, use various techniques to tell stories, and the meaning of the story is with the audience.

Adrian replied in the face of the reporter's microphone.

This is the premiere of "One Hundred Percent of Men". As the first movie Sophie has appeared after giving birth, Adrian has to support him no matter what, let alone Bosworth invested.

Although Bosworth is now downsizing, spending most of his energy on films in the horror thriller genre and having an unexpected battle with Lionsgate, some medium-investment movies can still be participated.

Although Bosworth's people who followed Adrian when he started his business have basically been promoted, the company is a souvenir in any case, so such support is also essential.

Since it is the premiere of other movies, Adrian said a few words. Anyway, there will be the premiere of "Human Bone Puzzle" before Christmas. How could anyone who participated in Sophie's will not participate in Monica's?

Now let’s talk about the reporters for the time being, if you need it, you can also say it at that time.

As a romantic comedy movie that was released in mid-December and could compete for Christmas, there must be something extraordinary, so there are many guests who came to participate, but Adrian's attention is not on them. They have met countless times. Unless there is something important, just chat a few words.

Most of his attention was on Sophie, just like the previous "Never Compromise", Adrian walked on the red carpet with Sophie's arm. There is no doubt that this murdered a lot of films from reporters. You should know that the director of Miracle has never expressed any opinion on the Miracle Girl.

In addition, a small part of my energy is devoted to supporting actresses in the movie, well, Kayla Knightley, who plays the protagonist's daughter.

Although I have only seen some of the clips, I think Kaila's performance is still remarkable. I believe that she will be able to see her wonderful performance in a few minutes.

Adrian said to Kayla's mother Shavin that her daughter was coming to the United States to attend the premiere of the movie she starred in, and of course, mothers had to accompany her.

Thank you, Ed, thank you for taking care of her all the time.Savan said proudly and gratefully.

Adrian did play some role in being able to go from being a serious and always sensitive girl to becoming a little cheerful and willing to communicate with more people.

Of course, it's another thing in the eyes of others, such as Sophie who always holds his arm at this moment.

It's a pity that I haven't had a fight with Sophie.Kayla was also looking at Sophie, but there was only curiosity in her eyes. Frankly speaking, Sophie is one of my favorite French actors.

Thank you, you're a great girl, Kayla.Sophie gave her a sincere smile, and even if she had any ideas, she would go for Adrian and would not contact Kayla.

But the drama against Mr. Gibson also taught me a lot.Kayla immediately looked at Mel Gibson who had never made any noise.

That's right, the only Australian actor who is not outside Adrian's Australian gang still becomes the leading actor in "One Hundred Percent" because director Nancy Meyers believes that such a manly actor like him, which shows the scenes of trial women's objects in the movie, will definitely have a good effect.

You are one of the most talented British actresses I've ever met, Kayla, who is as good as Sophie.Gibson laughed, then glanced at Sophie.

Adrian, who saw his expression in his eyes, chuckled in his heart, remembering the rumor in his previous life that he would invite Sophie to play Isabella in "Brave Heart" because he had ideas about the love of this French man.

Of course, it is impossible now, but I didn’t expect to work with Sophie in this way. However, it doesn’t matter whether he has any ideas or not. Adrian had instructed the producer at the beginning. Although Gibson’s temper is not very good, it does not mean he has no brains, so it is very regular from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, even so, Adrian did not intend to absorb him into the Australian Gang. It is a reason to come to Hollywood too early and have his own connections and circles; it is also a reason to be irritable, too rebellious, and difficult to get along with.

Adrian was not interested in supporting someone who was already on the downhill road.

Although he pushed Gibson on it, the other party had the best director of the other party in his previous life, so what?He can send the script to the original author for advice, and he still cares about this?

Okay, time is coming, so let's go in and enjoy the movie.

Adrian looked at the time and suggested this, and then when he walked into the screening room together, he exchanged glances with Kaira.
