Chapter 78 Someone should take a lesson

This guy...

Did he do it on purpose or did he really not know what he meant?

Looking at Tom Cruise who looked determined, as if he was just saying that he had just decided, Adrian suddenly felt ridiculous.

I still think Cate Blanchett is the most suitable one.He said something meaningful.

Did you watch Renee's performance, Ed?I promise you will like it. Although she is not that kind of girl who is particularly beautiful, she is quite elegant. I have always looked forward to working with her.

Cruise said with a gaze, still looking superior, and then waved his hand with a smile: Come on, there is nothing to argue about.

Yeah?Adrian replied quietly, but sneered in his heart.It seems that it takes too long to accommodate too much, and some people not only forget who they are, but also who they are.

Speaking of which, he insisted on using Renee Zellweger so much, could it be because she was next door that night?

Adrian thought maliciously and changed the topic: Do you have any opinions on production, Tommy?

We worked very well last time, why not continue.Tom Cruise replied as expected, not realizing anything even though his agent kept winking at him.

I see.Adrian nodded and stood up, let's do it, I'll say goodbye.

Say goodbye?You've just arrived.Cruise looked at him for no reason.

I just thought there was something else, I'm sorry.

Adrian said perfunctorily, then he called Charlize and the head of Bosworth Films to leave, of course, the basic etiquette was still maintained.

After all, Cruise was not a fool, so how could he not see Adrian's attitude? But he had never thought about why this was, and naturally there would be no remedy. He just frowned unhappily, probably humming heavily in his heart, and finally shrugged his shoulders: Okay, that's it.

He had no intention of keeping him, and he ignored the agent who shrugged him again.

It was already here, and it was useless to say more. Adrian walked out first, and then he took a casual look back and glanced at him. The figure that had been hiding on the stairs since they entered the room flashed away.

Is there something that director Miracle can't handle?On the way back, Charlize couldn't help but tease Adrian, and his smile seemed to be very happy to see him being defeated.

Do you really think I can't handle him?Adrian looked at her playfully and asked half true and half false.

Charlize shrugged and sighed: I finally understand why you don’t like him anymore. They are all called Tom, but there is such a big difference in dealing with people. It’s really interesting.

Speaking of this, her eyes flashed when she looked at him: You would be happy to see such a situation, right?

His excessive arrogance blinded his eyes, making him unable to see the situation clearly, and he always thought that the world was about to circle around him.

Adrian didn't answer her question, he wouldn't be the first, nor would he be the last.

Everyone, or every successful person, has a arrogant side. When you are already the leader in a certain industry, look back at the people behind you who are still working hard, and naturally you will feel superior. No one is exceptional, even Adrian.

But Adrian knew how to control it. In addition to being a very calm person, he also knew better than others how his success came about. Although he seemed to be ruthless in many things, he was very careful before doing it and could not clearly recognize the reasons for his success. Even if he stood at the top, he would fall down quickly.

Tom Cruise is the best example. Although he worked hard and had some ability, he lacked little in dealing with people. Fortunately, he is the most popular star at the moment. His huge commercial value makes the film company cater to him. If it were an ordinary person like this, he would have been excluded and would have ended up being excluded.

So after the commercial value is squeezed out, it is inevitable that there will be a situation where the wall falls and everyone pushes it. If you remember it, it should be ten years later.

Do you really think that you can't make the movie without you, Tom?

Adrian sneered in his heart again.

Since Cruise has forgotten the real rule that roles make actors, he doesn't mind giving him a good lesson.

I will share the copyright of Mission: Impossible with you, but I just give you some sweetness.

Adrian thought of the avoidant figure again.

If there was some bad feeling in Cruise before, although it rarely has completely disappeared, this is why Charlize said you would be happy to see such a situation. She knew most of his things, both career and life.

Although I have basically decided to give up Cruise, there are many suitable male actors. Not to mention Pete, Spacey, Reeves, Revan and Dennis are very good. It is absolutely fine to replace Cruise, and they are very obedient to the command, but I have to admit that Cruise has a very outstanding agent.

I talked to Tommy several times in detail and watched the movie "Life and Death" carefully. Miss Blanchett is indeed very suitable, but... the word is a little higher, but I think that's not a problem, right, Mr. Adrian?

The next morning, the little woman called, without talking about her unhappiness yesterday, repeatedly emphasized Cruise's willingness to cooperate, and her tone was quite sincere, and she also thought of an excuse that was not an excuse.

But then again, this may really be one of the reasons why Cruise refused. Just think about his miserable 5-foot-7 height, and then think about Blanchett's 5-foot-9 and Zellweger's 5-foot-5, which one he would choose.

Don't think this is a joke. As far as Adrian knows, Cruise paid for the box office of 5 million on the day of the release of Mission: Impossible, so it is not surprising that he would have such a move. Besides, there is an uncertain guess.

Adrian originally wanted to refuse, but the other party was very attentive and could always seize the opportunity to show his kindness. He was quite good at speaking and did not make people disgusted or disgusted. Even Cruise took the initiative to make a few calls under his persuasion. Although they were basically calling, they were reluctant to express their apology.

In any case, neither of them completely broke up, and Adrian admired Pat Kingsley, Cruise's agent and the team behind her.

Cruise may be a little stupid, but the agent and public relations team behind him are quite good. If possible, it would be nice to pull himself under the flag.

Although Adrian's brokerage firm also has several excellent teams, the more talent the better, isn't it?

Well, your sincerity touched me, Pat, I will tell Lavern to cooperate further as soon as possible.

After a few days, Adrian finally let go and revealed his appreciation on the phone without any concealment.

Thank you, Mr. Adrian, I believe you and Tommy will still work happily.Jinsli answered very well, and she didn't seem to hear that I was letting go because of your ability.

Adrian was not in a hurry either. He shrugged and put down the phone and looked at the girl in front of him with a smile: Sorry, I'm going to break my promise again.

Do you decide to let Tom Cruise play the leading role?

Blanchett asked in a lazy tone, wearing a round-neck T-shirt and shorts, her slender legs leaning against the back of the sofa, holding a magazine and watching herself.

Yes, he has an agent who is good at fighting for it, so he will be the best to let him play again and again.

Adrian shrugged, then sat down and pushed away the magazine in front of him and bent down to look at her. Of course, if you really don't want to work with him, I will call them to change people right away. This is not a big problem.

real?Blanchett raised his eyebrows as if he was smiling.

Really, as long as you want.Adrian then reached out and pinched her chin, lowering his head to kiss her.

Forget it, I don't want to be your scapegoat.

Blanchett let go without saying anything, with a little smug look in his eyes, but more complicated, and he wanted to break free but couldn't break free.

You said this so sadly, Kate.Adrian sighed exaggeratedly, as if he was frowning and saying that I have already held you in my palm, what else do you want?

Although I knew that half of this was pretending, a smile still appeared on the corner of Blanchett's mouth. Of course, I still can't admit defeat: I look like a sinner, but I actually make you so sad.

There was a little mockery in his tone, then he got up and went down to the ground, walked to the refrigerator with his beautiful legs and opened it and took a bottle of pure water.

She always had that lazy feeling throughout the whole process, and she dressed less, which was sexy and particularly charming.

Well, as an apology, how about I ask you to go to the Music Center to watch "King Lear" by Phyllis Theatre?

Adrian said as he took out two tickets from his pocket and swayed. Their drama is very good. Today is the first performance in Los Angeles. Don’t you go and see it together?See if their level is as high as you.

I may not have acted in "King Lear".

Blanchett said unquestionably while drinking water, and despite this, her eyes lit up.

The Shakespeare stage plays of Phyllis Theatre have always had a first-class reputation. They are not limited to the original but maintain the British classical flavor. They are popular with many people. Many Hollywood stars will go to this troupe when they are studying stage plays, so it is usually hard to get tickets, let alone the first performance.

Of course, for a big man like Adrian, it is very easy to get two private tickets, but it is still very touching to come over to ask her out with the ticket.

But after hesitating for a moment, Blanchett rejected his invitation: Sorry, Ed, I don't want to go anywhere.

Don't want to go anywhere?Has something happened?Adrian asked immediately in a concerned tone.

It's nothing, maybe it's because the weather is a little hot and I don't want to go out.

Blanchett shrugged, which was obviously an excuse. Although the temperature in Los Angeles is indeed a bit high in summer, it is usually cooler at night. Besides, there is air conditioning in the music center.

Blanchett seemed to realize this, and immediately turned around and drank water on his own.

Adrian chuckled in his heart, stopped talking, but kept looking at her with his eyes. Anyway, this cool outfit was still very pleasing to the eye.

Immediately, he realized something very interesting. Whether it is Cate, Blanchett or Zeta Jones, their full names are Catherine, especially Blanchett and Zeta Jones. The spelling and pronunciation are exactly the same. Although Kate starts with K, it is just a little similar in pronunciation, but there is actually not much difference. If all three women are around, the call to Kate will definitely be three pairs of eyes on him.

It seems that I have already won all the most famous Kate in Hollywood.

Adrian was a little funny and thought proudly, isn’t the fun of collecting it?

Of course, he had already forgotten and blocked Fei Wen.

Hey, what are you thinking?Blanchett's voice rang out at this moment.

Noting the other party's puzzled and annoyed eyes, Adrian immediately came to his senses: It's nothing, it's just a little work matter, and suddenly he got inspiration, so he was distracted.

Yeah?Blanchett's eyes were full of disbelief.

This is why, when dating a woman, you should never think of another woman. They are more emotional than rational, and their intuition on this is more sensitive than any radar.

But sometimes doing this is not completely a bad thing, for example

By the way, I changed my mind.Blanchett suddenly said, "Your ticket cannot be returned anyway, since that's the case, I'll go with you to see it."

Adrian's smile suddenly became much stronger, and he did not remind her to accompany the word pronunciation too heavily: So, change clothes, let's go out for a walk first, and after dinner, it's just over.

As he said that, he came over and pinched Blanchett's chin and kissed her pale lips. Blanchett did not dodge this time, but lingered with him a little before going to the inner room to change clothes.

This is how women are. They have to coax and make them feel crisis and fight for them, so that they will obey and stay by his side.

Of course, doing this requires both wrists and strength, and Adrian has both, so as long as they cannot make up their minds to leave him for a day, he will be firmly in his hands for a day, even if it is...

It's very interesting, but do you really think I'm right?Zeta Jones asked with a smile after flipping through the script in his hand.

Of course, most British women have a more classical temperament, but it’s just a matter of how many things are, and you are no exception.

Sitting in the office chair, Adrian, who held her in his arms from behind, leaned over to the back of his neck and took a deep breath. Yes, Chanel No. 5, very tasteful.However, this perfume is more suitable for formal occasions, and Chanel cocoa is more suitable for you in private.

I don't know you have any research on perfume.Zeta Jones was slightly surprised.

There are many things you don't know.

Adrian gently stroked her belly without any fat. For example, although your classical temperament is not as good as those British actresses, it has an alternative charm and sexy feeling. This beautiful Spanish princess has both aristocratic temperament and wildness. She is not that kind of delicate lady. I really can't think of a role that suits you more.

Yeah?Zeta Jones looked at him without comment, then gently shook his butt sitting on his thigh.

Of course, I did what I said. Although there is only a part of the script in your hand, it can be completed in one week at most, and then I will start preparing. I will invite an Oscar winner to serve as a supporting role to help you.

Adrian said as he started to move his right hand upwards, and then gently kneaded it. The touch was not very good through the clothes, but it was a little exciting.

Then all I have to do is wait now.

Zeta Jones's eyes had a layer of water vapor, which made her look more and more charming. Her body swayed rhythmically with Adrian's hands, and her mouth opened slightly as if she was gasping.

You don't want to be here, Ed?She asked quietly in a tempting voice.

It’s just that your outfit is too tempting, so it’s a little out of character.Adrian's tone was filled with admiration.

Zeta Jones giggled and concealed her pride very well. She deliberately wore a white shirt and a black coat that looked like OL. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. The possessiveness revealed in Adrian's eyes was not fake.

Then I will go back first and remember to call me tonight.

Zeta Jones said and stood up, and at the same time he tidied up his clothes and gave Adrian a look before he was about to leave. She still understood the principle of playing hard to get.

certainly.Adrian smiled and nodded without saying anything.

After coming out of Adrian's office, Zeta Jones breathed a little excited and proudly, and then ran into the oncoming Charlize's gaze.

He nodded politely with a smile, as if she had greeted her. Although Charlize nodded in response, his expression seemed a little cold.

Zeta Jones couldn't help but snorted in her heart. She dared to bet that this beautiful female secretary had never escaped Adrian's palm. So what right did she have to pretend to be in front of her?

However, Zeta Jones quickly adjusted his mood, shrugged indifferently after listening to the sound of the door closing behind him, and then took the elevator to the parking lot.

When she got into the new red Porsche car, Zeta Jones couldn't help but praise Adrian's generosity in her heart. She didn't want this gift, and she knew what kind of gift she could accept, but Adrian, who handed the key to her, said that if you don't accept it, I have to tear it off and send it to the scrap recycling factory.

You have to know, Kate, for men, fragrant cars and beauty are always associated, which is a model I have carefully selected for a long time.Adrian spoke very seriously.

It can be seen that if she really refused, this expensive Porsche would definitely be over. To be honest, she did like the car very much, so Zeta Jones finally accepted it.
