Chapter 17 Closing the Internet

As always, the day after the Oscars, major media began to comment on the list of winners and waving flags and cheer for those lost movies or actors.

Of course, different award attitudes are also different. For example, the best movie. Almost no one thinks there is any problem with "American Beauty" winning the award. Although the response of this movie in the United States is so popular that it cannot be compared with works like "Forrest Gump", it is also considered a first-class movie, far exceeding the other four.

Even most Europeans hold this view, only the Italian media complained that if last year's "Beautiful Life" was a work by an Italian director and the boycott of Spielberg and others, it would inevitably be discriminated against. However, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was directed by miracle director Adrian Cowell, and the quality is very outstanding, why can't you get the best movie?

Of course, such complaints are meaningless.

Although there are differences in the Best Actor, Spacey's performance has won the recognition of most people, so those small controversies can be ignored.

Therefore, the most debated one is the Best Actress, Nicole, Streep, Moore and Swank. Everyone is criticized by it. The reporter or writer will analyze it from various aspects to show that they should also win the Best Actress and use it to question Monica.

Despite this, Adrian told Monica not to care too much about this.

First of all, many people sympathize with the losers, but many people support Monica, and most critics believe that her performance in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is fully qualified to win a little golden man; secondly, those people's firepower is too scattered, and each loser has to be compared, and there is no threat if there is too much.

This is not surprising. Although Swank in his previous life was also favored, winning the Best Actress was completely upset, so there is no need to worry that many people gathered together to complain about one of them.

Besides, there are also big killers that are not used. Once they are labeled as regional discrimination, these guys will immediately start to clear themselves. Don’t forget the power in Adrian’s hands.

What's more, many people are focusing on other things, for example, the New York Post published a title like this: Another Miracle Girl reaches the top!

Please don’t forget that just last year, Cate Blanchett was pushed to the throne of Oscar for Best Actress by Director Miracle. Perhaps we can see one Miracle girl after another winning the championship of Best Actress in the near future.

After reviewing Monica's experience in film, analyzing the gains and losses of some clichés "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", and finally describing the scandals between her and Adrian and the Miracle Girl in detail. This tabloid finally summarized it.

It doesn't seem special, but it vaguely reveals between the lines that being a Miracle Girl may be a good way to win the Oscar for Best Actress.

Of course, this hint is not very obvious, and it depends on readers to understand it themselves. Just like many people are not talking about the topic of secret operations when discussing the Best Actress of this Oscar. If "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is simply a movie released by Miramax, the Weinstein brothers will have to be criticized, but everyone knows who is standing behind Monica, even if there are some minor problems with his company now.

Newhouse and their horizons were a little narrower.

When talking to Claude about the words Donald Newhouse said on the night of the Vanity Fair party, Adrian commented, do they think this would make us grateful?

Although they have done a good job in cooperation with Newhouse Group, there is no question of how deep it is. The old media group always has a little pride and reserve.

They are not as good as the Hurst Group in this regard. After realizing the huge profits of cable TV, Hurst Group immediately began further cooperation with AC Media. Although they did not have the longest time in cooperation with AC Media, they were much deeper. It can be seen from the fact that AC Media can build momentum for Oscars through the San Francisco Chronicle.

The decision of Hurst Group is very correct. Not to mention anything else, under Adrian's planning or suggestions, the cable channel they cooperated with ABC specifically for female users has won many subscribers. "Pretty Overpass", which will be launched in the second half of this year, is scheduled to be broadcast on this channel.

Around the millennium, with the accelerated development of cable TV, Newhouse Group finally realized its interests and finally made up its mind to get a piece of the pie. Unfortunately, AC Media, which initially wanted to cooperate with them, was rejected and brought to the Hurst Group, which made Samuel Newhouse, the misguided young, depressed.

Just in the past month, AC Media has been in a quagmire due to the acquisition of record companies. If you help them at this time, the cooperation in the future should be very smooth.

So there was the scene of Donald Newhouse at the Vanity Fair party. Everyone knew that Adrian was not responsible for specific matters but had a say in many things. If he was moved, he would be half successful.

You can't let everyone have a long-term vision like you, Ed.Claude replied to his comments, although he was a little ridiculous, but he was sincere.

Most of Adrian's original prophecy was realized, and a simple move to conceal the benefits gained from the IT bubble has now become their biggest trump card.

Therefore, Claude delayed his favor with Newhouse Group and did not make any statement. In the last week, everything will be clear.

Of course, there is something to do before that, and it must be done by Adrian.

Sorry, Pepe, I can't accompany you today. There have been many things in the company recently. On the surface, it seems that they are in control, but the actual situation is not very good, and there is something inside... Adrian leaned against the table and pinched his head and said, "Damn, I shouldn't tell you this."

It's OK, Ed, everything will be fine.Penelope hugged Adrian from behind, biting his ears lightly, rubbing his back with a full softness.

Yes, it will be fine.Adrian turned his head and smiled, then kissed her again.

Then I'll leave first.Penelope said so.

We will get together again when I come back from Kansas.Adrian nodded, by the way, can you call Charlie in?Then hand this over to Crow's secretary.

He said as he handed a folder to the other party.

All right.After hesitating, Penelope took it, gave him a smile and turned around and walked out.

Looking at her back, Adrian narrowed his eyes, raised his lips slightly without a smile, and quickly returned to his previous state.

Although after the Oscar, there were many different opinions around this list of winners, and many things followed one after another. Even Julia couldn't sit still and asked Adrian when the script she was planning to start.

Don't worry, it won't be more than this month, Julie, you should have read the script many times, it's very good, right?

Adrian smiled and comforted her, so, I think you should focus on the script and the characters, such as talking to Erin Brockwich, and as long as you are in a good state, I can finish the shooting within 6 weeks.

OK OK OK, you want to say that the speed of the film is based on the actors rather than the director, right? That's right, Mr. Miracle Director?Julia rolled her eyes.

That's right, my dear, that's my style.Adrian laughed.

Anyway, no matter how many things are, it can't stop Adrian from returning to Kansas, as the record label and the Oscars were delayed a little longer, and Bones in Winter can't be dragged on.

Although the investment is not large, only $3 million, it is not good to waste it casually. What's more, the current $3 million is worth more than the $3 million in ten years.

Fortunately, Natalie, who could have attended the awards ceremony, gave up the opportunity to return to Boston and spent the past few days on her studies.

Maybe she just doesn't want to be merciless at Adrian, who knows?

Therefore, Natalie is in pretty good condition. Although she was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, she started to recover after several NGs and returned to the initial level for half a day. It can be seen that she is indeed very attentive.

Needless to say, Hax is almost a true performance, and he also returned to his previous level with a slight adjustment.

In addition, the scenes and plots of the movie itself are not complicated, and the key to the crew is the actors' interpretation, so it only took more than three days for one week (five working days), and "Bones in Winter" was officially closed.

The crew is formed very low-key, and naturally it is also very low-key when disbanded, so some things don’t need to be disguised as deeply.

In the luxurious suite in Kansas, a young girl with naked bodies lay on the carpet, with thick pillows under her body so that her elbows could be placed on top to support her body.

The man put his hands on his slender waist, attacking rhythmically but extremely fiercely from the back. From the fine beads of sweat, the frequency of vibration and the wrinkled carpet, you can see how intense it is.

Natalie shook her head and moaned, and she could only moan. Her hot body reaction made her not have time to think.

Finally, after Adrian broke forward, the girl who seemed to have hit the critical line suddenly raised her head and screamed, tensing her body and shaking her tightly buttocks. This continued like this for centuries, and she had lost her strength and collapsed on the ground softly.

Your body finally has more fat than last time, and is more symmetrical than before. It seems that you did as I told you?

Adrian, who held Natalie in her arms and comforted her tenderly, said in a satisfied tone.

The girl with a little blurred look turned around, as if she didn't want to look at him, but her chest was still falling, and she still savored the feeling of climbing to the top before.

Adrian, who kept kissing her shoulders and neck, smiled suddenly. He knew that this would be the result. The so-called strict vegetarians just persisted in need. Natalie was never the kind of person who was stubborn.

I guess you must be very conflicted now. On the one hand, you are surprised by my strength again, and another Miracle Girl became the Best Actress in the Oscar; on the other hand, you are secretly happy about the failure I am about to suffer. If you care a little about business news, you will know that AC Media is in trouble at the moment.

Adrian leaned into her ear and then whispered in this low voice.

No... Natalie shook her head gently with her eyes closed.

You can't lie to me, Nada, your body has told the truth.Adrian laughed, peeled off the raincoat and replaced it with a new one, and then increased the caressing again.

Wait, you can't... Natalie wanted to stop it, but eventually got picked up from behind by him and sat down in the chair.

Isn't this very appropriate?We used to be like this, but I didn't enjoy it every time.

Adrian said as he lifted one of her legs up and placed them on the armrest, so now we have to make a change, you see, didn’t you do a good job last time too?Don't worry, this night is still long and we have enough time, you'll like, Nada, now we'll change to a new position.

He lifted her little butt and slowly put it down. When the empty and wet place was filled, Natalie let out a moan mixed with cowardice and joy.

That's it, she touched her bottom line little by little with patience, pushing this bottom line down little by little.

Perhaps the results are not great, and sometimes there are no results. At least Natalie has never sweared when having sex. You should know that it is very exciting for women with temperament to swear in bed.

But it doesn't matter, some things are sooner or later, Blanchett can now pat his butt and scream fuck ass at Adrian, let alone Natalie.

In short, there are still many such training in the future. Now, let’s go back to another thing. After "Bone in Winter" successfully blocked the mirror, Adrian immediately rushed back to Los Angeles.

Although others are in Kansas, they always pay attention to acquisitions and counter-acquisitions. In just a few days more than a week, Charlize came three or four times.

In the eyes of the outside world, AC Media has been exhausted. It neither wants to give up Universal Music, and it is all-out to acquire Universal Music, nor to give up MCM Records. It is always in a dilemma, and it is not a big mistake in decision-making.

Many media have also made various ridicule, such as even if they win Universal Music, they lose their roots, or if they save MCM records, they cannot make up for the losses caused by the acquisition of Universal Music, and if they continue, they will only be empty.

Many people are also waiting to watch the show. Adrian said that Natalie was secretly happy at all. AC Media has not suffered such a big loss since its establishment.

Especially after the fourth negotiation, after the news that MCM Records CEO Ryan Fergerson turned to Sony Records, the acquisition of MCM Records seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

Of course, no one knows that when Adrian returned to Los Angeles from Kansas, he called Cloud as soon as he landed: It's time to close the network.

********************

After washing his face with cold water, Penelope covered his forehead and moaned, then found a few painkillers from behind the mirror in the bathroom to take it.

Recently, her head has been suffering from a slight pain, which makes people feel upset. She has to take medicine to make herself feel better.

Penelope knew why she had a headache, and she had already started to regret it. Why did she agree to the other party with a delusion?

Even if she didn't leave immediately, she could let Thomas Motola spread it. Will Adrian still blame herself for something she hadn't done before?

If it really doesn't work, just leave directly, why make things so complicated?

Besides, she could tell Adrian immediately, so that she might gain more attention.

The feeling of frustration surges into Penelope's heart when he thinks of Monica Bellucci, who won the Best Actress at this Oscar.

I am obviously not a fool, and I have weighed the pros and cons before, so why am I so confused about this matter?

And it gets deeper and deeper...

When Penelope thought of the disdainful, pity-loving, mocking eyes of Adrian's beautiful female secretary looking at her, Penelope would feel inexplicably irritable and uneasy, and occasionally a little frightened, so that she had the urge to slap the other person in the face. Fortunately, Adrian had not changed much to her, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.

It's okay, it's over right away. Today they signed the contract. There will be no business for me in the future and you will be able to gain something in the future.

Penelope took a deep breath and said to himself in the camera.

At this moment, the phone rings suddenly. Penelope cleans up and then comes out to answer the phone. But what comes from there is a voice that surprised her: Ed?

Yes, it's me, have you gotten up, Pepe?Adrian's voice sounded pleasant.

Well...yes, is there anything wrong?Penelope stabilized his mind.

In another ten minutes, I will arrive at your doorstep. I will quickly get dressed up and I will have a surprise for you.

surprise?

Yes, hurry up.

Before she could answer, Adrian hung up the phone. Penelope held the microphone and waited for several seconds before he reacted. Although he felt a slight uneasy in his heart, she still cleaned up as he said.

After changing into a pretty decent black dress, put on light makeup, the doorbell rang.

You are still so sexy and charming, Pepe.

After Penelope came out, Adrian, wearing a suit and a tie, said with a smile, and the two cars were parked on the side of the road, sitting in the driver's cab, very formal.

Is there anything wrong?Penelope kept his usual smile.

Get in the car, you'll know soon.Adrian said as he held her arm and was about to walk to the car.

Wait, Ed, you always have to tell me something specific, right?And, I haven't had breakfast yet?Penelope began to feel bad.

Simply put, I want to take you to witness a miracle happening.

Adrian didn't stop at all, then gestured to the bodyguard in the car behind and shouted loudly: Colin, go buy some simple breakfast that can fill your stomach.

I want to stay at home, Ed... Penelope grinned barely, and there seemed to be a slight pain on his elbow that was tightly grasped by Adrian.

OK, Pepe, don't be too late, we don't have much time.Adrian said casually, then opened the door and stuffed her in.
