Chapter 245 Taking advantage of the situation

Thank you for your hospitality, Katherine Mark, this is a hearty but not luxurious dinner that is unforgettable.

Standing at the door, Adrian held Mary and held Jessica and said this to the Alba couple who were sent to the door.

Very happy...you can like, Ed, if you have time... Catherine, who smiled a little bitterly, glanced at her husband who had a dark face after the conversation but didn't say anything. Maybe you can come often with Jesse and Mary.

I will.Adrian nodded, then pinched his daughter's little face, Hey, Mary, we're leaving, say good night to grandparents.

Good night, grandma.The little guy was yawning, his face was full of fatigue, and it was almost time to fall asleep at this time.

I'm leaving, mom, I'll take Mary back to see you guys often.Jessica, who was relieved, hugged her mother and then looked at her father carefully.

Mark squeezed out a smile, and he reached out to touch his daughter's head, but after hesitation, he just patted her on the shoulder: Go, your mother and I... respect... your choice.

He said it very hard, paused two or three times in the middle, his face twitched, but he said it all.

Then, after saying that, he felt a little more relaxed. After looking at Adrian, he immediately said: If you have anything to do, you must tell us that your mother and I are your most solid backing. If someone bullies you, I will show him the color without hesitation.

I know my dad.Jessica laughed, while Adrian pretended not to see it.

Afterwards, they walked all the way to the street and, under Joshua's escort, got into the car that was already waiting for there.

You won't blame me, Ed?Joshua grabbed his head and finally asked, feeling a little embarrassed and... scared.

Don't worry, Joshua, I won't do anything to you.

Adrian smiled and hugged his shoulder. Although he was a little angry at first, he thought it was pretty good now. When Mary was a little older, it would be difficult to introduce her to your parents. It might take time for your parents to accept her, and time has always been the main reason for the change. In this regard, you are also a lucky star.

Really?Joshua immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

real.Having said that, Adrian slapped him twice on the shoulder, slapped him with a grin.

However, this made Joshua feel even more relaxed. The more Adrian did this, the more he said he would not care about what happened to him and this awkward family dinner today.

What did you say to my dad in the room?Jessica asked after the car started.

Oh, some small things, such as the insecurity you felt when you were a child, or all his flaws in education, etc.

Adrian shrugged, he didn't want to admit it at first, but had to admit it under my strong offensive.

Have you told him all this?Jessica's beautiful face suddenly collapsed, and her voice became much sharper, forcing Adrian to quickly compare his fingers to his mouth.

Speak quietly, don't wake Mary up.Adrian said as he gently patted his daughter who was already asleep in his arms. The little guy let out a few umbrellas, twisted his head and continued to sleep.

How can you tell my dad about that?Jessica asked in a low voice.

Why not?

Adrian asked, you are already an adult, Jesse, are you still worried that your father will give him good looks after he knows this?OK, don't worry about these things, I've got your dad done, he didn't shoot me, you're right, your dad is very strict, but he is not irrational.

He said, holding Jessica's shoulder and patting it gently. Jessica sighed lightly and leaned her head obediently on his shoulder.

By the way, I want to thank you even more.Adrian suddenly said again.

What are you grateful for?Jessica asked in confusion.

Thank you for not telling you the conditions I offered at the beginning.Adrian kissed her forehead, otherwise he would have to explain it to your dad again.

Jessica then understood and immediately gave him a blank look but didn't say anything. It was only after a while that he asked in an uncertain tone: Then Ed, if, I mean if, one day I really want to... want to leave?

Although she lowered her head and couldn't see her expression, Adrian could be sure that there was tension in her eyes, so she complained: Oh, hell, why do women always like to ask such inexplicable questions.

baffling?

Jessica then raised her head, her eyes widened and didn't seem very happy, but Adri continued to say it as if she didn't see it: Obviously, if I answered no, you would definitely say that I was so bad that I didn't even have credit; but if I answered yes, you would definitely blame me and didn't care about you at all.This problem is essentially aligned. There is no difference between which one should be saved first when the mother and girlfriend fall into the water at the same time. This is not a good problem. It will only provoke disagreement among lovers.

Listening to his serious words, Jessica couldn't help laughing softly for a long time before stopping, but she was still looking at him with a hopeful look inquiring.

So... Adrian reached out and raised Jessica's chin and lifted her beautiful face in front of him. No matter what you are happy or unhappy, you must tell me, because only in this way can I judge whether you were impulsive when you said that to me, or were you really tired of it? Do you understand?

Jessica did not answer, but just leaned her head against his shoulder, leaning tighter.

This is the case for the time being, and it is not entirely up to Adrian himself, although he did make Mark Alba speechless.

This is not difficult, just as he told Lily at the beginning. Once he had a conflict with someone, always remember to take a reasonable position that others can praise. Maybe there are many other places that can be attacked at that time, but as long as you keep emphasizing your unrefutable side and then grasp the other party's flaws and chase them hard, you can easily completely overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum. This does depend on personal ability.

However, this is not the only factor that solves the problem, nor is it even an important factor. In general, whether the Alba couple can be dealt with is the key to Jessica's personal attitude.

As Adrian said, all the actions between him and Jessica are in accordance with the law, and they can be morally accused him, and they can only be morally accused him. Besides, the children are still so old, can they not admit it?

So after the initial impulse, the Alba couple made the decision to invite him to come and visit, which also shows that they actually had plans to compromise.

Needless to say, Jessica's attitude is not unhealthy. She has given birth to a child early in the first place. During the period when she was not a mother, Adrian took Mary with him. In addition, the conditions he gave him with hints when he was pregnant, all kinds of factors gathered together, and even if Jessica had any ideas, she would automatically dispel him soon.

Of course, it is impossible for the Alba couple to gain support from their daughter. Then, Joshua also stood on Adrian's side. For Jessica's sake, Adrian gave Joshua a lot of opportunities. In addition to supporting roles in "The Dark Angel of the End of the World", he has also played important supporting roles in many important drama TV series, such as "CSI" or "24", and now he can be regarded as a second-tier actor.

So last year, Adrian gave him another heavy character, Thunderbolt Fire in "Fantastic Four".

That's right, Paramount played the role of a sibling in the movie as a real sibling with his sister, and he agreed to it because he was interested in this.

Joshua and Jessica are indeed very similar, and they are quite handsome and handsome, but their eyebrows look strange, so Adrian specially found someone to repackage him, and the effect was very good.

In short, with the fact that their siblings were on their side, coupled with the cute Mary and her own verbals, Adrian successfully dealt with the Alba couple.

His favorite move is to take advantage of the situation. A person's ability is always limited. Even if he can predict the future, it is impossible to fight against the entire society.

The so-called historical trend is vast, and those who follow it will prosper and defy it will perish. It may not be appropriate to use it here, but it is enough to explain some problems.

Therefore, if you want to achieve your goals and the people and affairs involved are very wide, creating and utilizing momentum is the only choice.

For example, in the promotion of "Lord of the Rings", in addition to spending a lot of money on publicity and public relations, many book fans and film critics believe that this final song is qualified to get a Little Golden Man, and Adrian should also become the best director again.

In addition, the film school discriminates against non-realistic works and needs to make changes. Adrian has been nominated for the third time for the trilogy, and has been nominated for countless times before. The last time he won the award was almost ten years away. Everything is driving "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" and Adrian to his throne. All he has to do is guide and follow this trend, which is useless even if someone opposes it.

Similarly, the same is true for Best Actress. It is interesting to say that Kate and Sophie are both famous for "The Warmth of the Light" and "The Rose Life", but at the major awards ceremony at the beginning of the year, they did not have any awards, whether it was the Actors' Union Award, the Directors' Union Award, or the Film Critics Association Award, let alone the Golden Globe Award, so many people are not optimistic about them.

Someone made an analysis of the past Academy Awards. The chances of American local actors winning performance awards are far greater than those of actors elsewhere. Obviously, the Oscars are always just an American game, so European actors on the nomination list this year should not be too concerned.

There are British newspapers reporting this, and of course, I also don’t forget to mock Oscars a few words.

Unfortunately, this is all superficial, so Kate won't say it. Adrian didn't plan to let her reach the top now. Since she wants to become the best actress without any dispute, it means she still has a long way to go.

As for Sophie, he has been preparing for this day from the beginning, not to mention Weinstein's help.

The biggest factor is that Fahrenheit 911 won the Palme d'Or. After the Cannes Film Festival in May, the French praised it as a work of conscience.

It was already gradually fading after half a year of fermentation, but with the official release of the documentary in the United States, Michael Moore made it clear that the documentary was produced for the election at the end of this year. As long as one person was missing to vote for the Bush administration, the French were also excited again and could ignore Sophie, who starred in "The Rose Life".

Even after Fahrenheit 911 failed to be the Oscar for Best Documentary, French critics criticized it in a big way, thinking about how dissatisfied the film school would be.

Well, since that's the case, it's time to respond to these idiot-like Gaul chickens. So what method is best?

Maybe someone will find a way, but don't worry, Weinstein will tell them.

This is not enough, so Adrian also prepared something else, such as the short film "Sleeping in the Night in the Supermarket".

When he started his East Asia trip last year, Sophie took this short film to travel around various film festivals. Although some of the less famous movies are as famous as the Toronto Film Festival, they are even more incomparable to the three major film festivals, but they have also received some good reviews. The slightly stream of consciousness but not particularly obvious style attracted some people's attention.

The only thing criticized by critics is that Kaden Cross is a bit too beautiful. After Sophie reversed the character's gender, although she could better master the entire short film and highlight the style of the movie, it also made Kaden look a bit vase.

Kaden is somewhat of a bit of acting, but she is still very immature now. If it is a normal movie, she might have performed a little, but she will inevitably be criticized for playing the leading role in such a short film, and Sophie has performed a little extraordinary.

However, despite this, it cannot prevent the short film "Sleeping in the Night in the Supermarket" from being shortlisted for the Best Short Film of the Oscar. Of course, Adrian pushed it behind.

So, on the 76th Oscar nomination list, Sophie was nominated for Best Actress, and there was also a nomination for Best Short Film, which was also the first time in the history of Oscars. It can be imagined how surprising it would be.

With these, coupled with the continuous nominations over the past few years, and the secret use of all means to promote and public relations, just like "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", various factors gather together to form a trend, supporting Sophie to the throne of the best actress.

So Adrian likes to take advantage of the situation. His plan to ascend to the throne by himself is to take this opportunity to the extreme.

Although it takes a long-term plan to do this, it is not difficult for him, isn’t it?

Of course, if there is no long-term planning, the success rate will not be high. For example

OK OK OK I'm sorry you didn't get a golden phonograph, Weiniu.Facing the angry Avril, Adrian had to raise his hands and say this.

The Grammy will always be held before the Oscars, and this year is no exception. The Oscar is scheduled for the last day of leap February, so the Grammy will be held 21 days in advance and will be held on February 8.

Several of the most popular female singers in Universal Music were shortlisted, but they still remain the same as they won the award. Christina and Beyoncé each achieved their own success, while Britney and Avril were not successful.

It doesn't matter to Britney. Adrian was the first to build momentum for her and won the most important award for Best Album with the best sales result among female singers. Even though she was still very unhappy, she was not as bad as Christina, but she was not so bad once or twice.

But Avril has not gained anything in the Grammy so far, and only a few nominations were finally won, so he was naturally very depressed.

So, when Adrian came to see them, after making a few jokes, the girl immediately turned black. Seeing this, he had to apologize first.

Sorry, Ed, I'm a little emotional.

Avril quickly realized her loss of composure, sighed and apologized, but... sat there watching others happily keep coming to the stage to win awards and deliver speeches, and his original excitement and eagerness to try slowly cooled down with the passage of time... I had already felt this way last year, and I felt it again this year, which was really... very, very bad.

I understand, Weiniu.

Adrian opened his arms and hugged her. Don't take it to heart. This is the case with the recording and science society. The more popular the singer, the more he ignores it, as if this can make the Grammy unconventional. It's ridiculous.In this case, you need a normal mind and good works. A normal mind can help you face honor and music better, while good works can allow recordings and science to learn how powerful you are. Without their recognition, you are still the most popular rock witch.

He spoke with emotion, but what he received was Avril's rolling eyes: Come on, Ed, these are often words, but the problem is, knowing it is one thing, but doing it is another.

So just do it a few more times and you will know how to do it.A cheerful voice came from behind, and then a body hugged her from behind, Hi, Ivy.

Bubu?Avril turned his head, then looked at the girl in front of him with anger, and greeted Christina who followed him into the lounge.

I knew that you must have come one step ahead of us, and you are always like this.

Britney said with a smile, maybe I should learn from you how to fly to the owner as soon as possible.

Britney has become accustomed to calling Adrian the master in front of more and more people. Of course, they are all very familiar with each other. Similarly, Avril rolled his eyes because of this.

You have to learn to get used to it, Ivy.Britney said without caring about it, just like me, she never got the affirmation, and then the master gave me a reward.

After saying that, she laughed and held Adrian's arm. Her intimate and attached look made Avril roll her eyes again and immediately walked out: Okay, you guys chat slowly, I still have something to do.
