This is of course a mistake!And it was a big mistake!Have you read the newspapers of The Guardian?Since they dare to say that, they obviously have evidence of weight, you should respond with courtesy, integrity, no humility or arrogance, rather than a arrogant tone!
Murdoch said loudly to the phone, his second son, James Murdoch, who has become the chairman of Sky TV this year with the support of his father and is responsible for News Corp's European and Asian operations.
Damn it!
Murdoch, who put down the phone, cursed fiercely in his heart, wiped his face with his hand before closing his eyes, and suddenly he felt a little tired.
There is no doubt that this is done by AC Media. After the Guardian exposed the eavesdropping incident of the World News, its media such as CNN started to report it at full speed. Although there are not many newspapers or magazines, AC Media has the advantages of the Internet. Discussions about eavesdropping incidents can be seen everywhere on yutube or facebk. When you open ggle to search for keywords, the homepage of the news group is reported unfavorable to the news group.
In short, it is not concealed at all, and it is completely nakedly showing hostility.
This is very bad!
Almost everyone knows what Adrian said that night.
Now they took the lead first, and made such a huge trend, which was very unfavorable to News Corporation.
How could they know that the News of the World had eavesdropped?
Murdoch couldn't help thinking so.
You must know that even he is not very clear about these things.
Could it be...
Have they discovered it long ago?
The old man's brows frowned deeply. According to the information collected so far, reports about eavesdropping began to appear one after another two weeks ago. However, the wealthy News Group has rich connections and has settled them one by one with their help.
However, although those reports did not have much impact, they left an impression on many people.
So, when the former employee of the World News came out to provide evidence, he also had a lot of evidence, plus the rival of the Guardian, and AC Media spared no effort to instigate him, especially the royal family, the situation expanded so quickly.
But Blair has resigned again. The prime minister in office is Gordon Brown. His relationship with News Corp is very average, and he often appears in public as a conservative but liberal mind. He will definitely support the investigation, so...
The more Murdoch thought about it, the tighter his brows frowned.
Finally, he pressed the call button: Mr. Miller?Please inform the crew immediately, I need to go to London immediately.
The Guardian's report on the news of the World eavesdropping on the lives of royal members, and with the intention of some people, it quickly swept across the UK and even Europe.
Under the urging of the House of Commons, Scotland Yard had to start a serious investigation, and then began to have various turbulent situations, sometimes involving multiple cases, sometimes the senior officials of the newspaper were unaware of it, sometimes there was evidence that News Group was using its influence to put pressure, etc.
But Murdoch believes that he can handle these things. Even if AC Media is fueling the fire, they are still too anxious. If he waits for the previous year and Brown takes full control of Downing Street, he will face greater difficulties.
But now, although Blair has resigned, his influence is still there. Coupled with News Group's mixed connections in the UK, AC Media may have the upper hand for a while, but it will definitely not last long.
However, what he did not expect was that two weeks later, News Corp suffered heavy blows from the United States.
When August entered CNN suddenly broke out that News Corp. was suspected of eavesdropping on the phone calls of 911 victims, and immediately pulled the attention of Americans who had only wanted to watch the show.
911 has become a counter-scale for Americans. Some people may think that the Bush administration's launch of the Iraq War is immoral, but it is absolutely supportive of 911's retaliation.
This situation revealed this kind of thing, and it also brought some evidence. In addition, CNN's report was biased, which undoubtedly triggered the anger of some Americans. There was a proposal that immediately cooperated with lawmakers to ask the FBI to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Murdoch finally began to take it seriously. Although the UK is important, if someone pried the foundation of the United States, it would definitely be more than worth the loss.
Fortunately, Bush is still in office now, and he is still confident of controlling the development of this matter, but soon things began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
On August 4, Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, announced that its hedge funds would stop redemption. This is no big deal in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is a heavy blow in the eyes of investors.
It’s not that no one realizes the possibility of a subprime mortgage crisis, but either thinks it’s not that fast or can only ignore it for some reason.
However, when Bear Stearn announced the cessation of redemption, everyone knew that it meant one thing, and the subprime mortgage crisis had officially come to an end.
Immediately, European and American stock markets fell into a round of plunge!
Then Bear Stearn President Warren Spector announced his resignation, and several mortgage institutions declared bankruptcy one after another.
Although the Federal Reserve began to inject capital to save the market, it could not prevent the crisis from continuing to expand, and it affected the entire European and American financial markets in two weeks.
This is not a big problem for News Corp. Although it has also suffered a shock, the stock price has not fluctuated greatly when someone rescued the market. After all, they have not involved in the real estate industry. Even if someone shorted News Corp's stock since the eavesdropping incident, the losses caused were within an acceptable range.
But the next thing caused News Corp to suffer a great loss. In the continuous reports of subprime mortgage crisis, CNN suddenly broke out again. Bernard Madoff, chairman of Madoff Investment Securities, has been controlled by the police for suspected Pang-style scams, and two executives of News Corp. were also involved. The crime is that it is possible to use its power to help Madoff cover up the scam.
This bombshell made the entire United States, or the entire American financial industry, unable to recover for a long time, fall into the subprime mortgage crisis.
Bernard Madoff is also a top figure on Wall Street. The stable return of 1% to 2% per month in his asset management company has attracted countless customers, and they are all high-end customers. The Palm Beach Country Club founded is also well-known in the industry. The name of "My Nothing" has attracted many investors.
Such a big shot is suspected of using Ponzi schemes to deceive investors?
How is that possible!
But soon, more and more evidence showed that Madoff's asset management company was indeed a Ponzi scheme.
So under the guidance of some people, investors who suffered huge losses began to get angry.
News Group, which was forcibly linked to the public, had a negative impression of eavesdropping on the 9/11 victims, began to be despised by more and more people.
You should know, Barry, this matter has nothing to do with us!Many people asked Madoff to manage their funds. Are they also helping the liar to cover up the problem?
On this side of the phone, Murdoch tried to suppress his anger and talked in a calm tone. His face looked extremely ugly, and his hand holding the handrail was extremely tight.
Finally, he closed his eyes and then pressed the microphone hard onto the landline, making a snap.
Murdoch had never been so tired. At first he was full of confidence, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the current situation two or three months later.
The two senior executives in News Corporation's US affairs did have investments in Madoff, but that was a private act and had nothing to do with the group. It should be the victims. Moreover, those decent people from various investment banks were not trapped by Madoff, but those guys in CNN tried their best to tie News Corporation to this shocking fraud case together!
What a hell!
However, no one cares about the facts. As FOX News has done, the same content will attract a lot of people as soon as it is replaced with an exaggerated and special title.
Then no matter what the content is, they start to criticize based on what they want to see. CNN is just using the other way to give the other person.
It would be fine if it were other times, but now, after suffering the impact of the 9/11 eavesdropping incident and the subprime mortgage crisis, ordinary people need a scapegoat to vent.
What scared Murdoch even more was that AC Media was definitely not the only one who attacked News Corp. All the people behind the scenes who participated in suppressing AC Media before have now appeared in the action of suppressing News Corp.
The simplest example is that Madoff's affairs will never have such a great impact as they are now at other times, and the losses he caused are not irreparable.
It’s not that no one can see Madoff’s tricks, but at the beginning he took the upper level route, had no connections with ordinary people, and had a wide range of connections, especially as a Jew, Wall Street also had to worry about face, so the biggest possibility is that someone jumped out to defend it, and then turned big and small things into small things, and finally returned to the original track.
But this time it doesn't work. The disastrous consequences of subprime mortgages have aroused the anger of the people. Wall Street must have an explanation. Madoff was put in front as a scapegoat, and then...
How about a News Corp., which has greatly increased negative impression among Americans due to the eavesdropping incident?
These bastards!
This group of vampires who are not full!
Murdoch hit the handrail again. If it were just AC Media, he was confident that he could still deal with it even in this situation. But if everyone started to target News Corp., then it would be in danger, let alone...
Why do they have such a good grasp of the timing?
This question has been bothering Murdoch, and the feeling of uneasiness has surpassed.
Finally, he reached out to pick up the phone and reluctantly dialed a number.
It's me, Sam, can you... help me contact those two?At this moment, he seemed to have been several years older.
********************
Under the blue sky, even though winter has begun, the vegetation outside still looks particularly green in the sun.
So I love Los Angeles, and despite the little rain here, it is definitely a good place to go in the winter.Adrian, sitting at the round table, said carelessly with a smile.
You can't deny that New York has its benefits.Lei Shidong continued with a smile.
This is, at least it is good to walk on the drizzling streets of Manhattan in summer.
Claude walked over with a golf club, followed by Time Warner's president and CEO Jeffrey Bicks.
Do you think, Rupert?Thunderstone turned to Murdoch with a smile.
Every place has different places to miss.Murdoch smiled, and Thunderstone in his eyes shook his head invisibly.
This situation has been going on for a while. Although he was in charge of the two sides, both sides agreed to sit down and have a good talk, but they have never talked about the topic until now, even though he deliberately brought Jeffrey Bicks from Time Warner to accompany Disney's Robert Eagle.
Of course, he understood that after all, Murdoch had been in the media industry for decades, and it was difficult for him to accept the fact that he was forced to this position by two younger generations. Taking the initiative to sum it is already a sign of weakness. If possible, he definitely didn't want to speak first.
Adrian and Crowder, as rising stars, are young and energetic and proud. They were plotted by Murdoch a few months ago. Now that they have finally forced him to this place, they are naturally more willing to negotiate with Murdoch as a winner. Speaking first is definitely not the first choice.
This is bad. Murdoch will speak sooner or later. After all, he proposed the peace talks first, but at that time, the peace talks will be very difficult.
As the oldest media tycoon present, Lei Shidong was not willing to see such a situation. After all, the talents on Wall Street are the most worthy of guarding against.
Fortunately, the two young people of AC Media are not people who don’t know the overall situation. Soon Adrian then followed the topic of the subprime mortgage crisis and began to guide: Obviously, everyone has a premonition, but they can’t be sure when it will happen. After all, no one can stop the flow of capital, just like they can’t stop people from eating and drinking water.
As he said that, he looked at Murdoch with an indescribable smile: If capital needs to flow, there will inevitably be transactions, but transactions are not limited to capital, or money.This is a very special word, which in a sense can be regarded as the foundation of the United States.A transaction can allow criminals who should be sentenced to death but only need to stay in prison for decades. A transaction can prevent a drug lord from serving his sentence for a long time. A transaction can make the police turn a blind eye to the minor crimes of billionaires. A transaction can allow the congressman to win the throne of president. A transaction can make the president boldly violate the law... Here, there is nothing that cannot be traded, as long as you have enough chips.
His slow words echoed in the ears of several people. Although they were not very pleasant to hear, they were all truth. Which of the few people here has not walked in the gray area, and which has never made a deal with the government.
Thoughtful words.Murdoch finally spoke, No wonder you have such a great influence in Hollywood, and now some people even call you... the King of Hollywood.
Although he tried his best to make himself look like he was teasing in a relaxed tone, the effect was really not very good.
But Adrian didn't care and still smiled: You misunderstood, Rupert, I admit that this has played a lot of role, but most of it has been achieved through my own efforts, just like AC Media.
Murdoch was silent. Although his words seemed to praise Adrian, they actually mean: Don’t you want to be the most powerful spokesperson in Hollywood completely?
I can help push another one.
But Adrian's answer was: No.
He now has an influence in Hollywood that no one else can have. He is only one step away from the peak and can go up without help.
At the same time, he also vaguely said that he would not use compensation for the financing that was ruined because of Murdoch's intervention as a breakthrough.
As for the current financial environment, AC Media's financing will have a little impact, but it is not a big problem, so they will not consider it for the time being.
So, tell me what you want.Murdoch suddenly got tired of this way of playing puzzles, anyway, the other party had already released his kindness.
Adrian and Claude looked at each other, and then Claude spoke: We don’t want much, we can ignore everything you do, and we can also help News Corp deal with the impact of the eavesdropping incidents that have caused much greater than you think, Rupert.We can even help News Corp stabilize the situation and continue, and deal with Wall Street and the White House together. You know, those greedy guys never thought about taking us in their hands, and we only have one request.
We hope you quit, Rupert.Adrian threw out the answer in turn, and Murdoch's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and his face became a little ugly.
Don't worry, you can retain the position of independent director on the board of directors, or simply consult with News Corp as a consultant, and the person sitting in that position can also be from the Murdoch family, and you can continue to direct behind the scenes.You don't even need to quit now. You can step down decently for physical reasons after these things come to an end.We can exchange our trust in each other through cross-holding, and at the same time ensure that the candidates you want and who will listen to you will get to that position.
Claude continued.
This is our only requirement, you must give us an explanation.Adrian added.
Murdoch's face turned red at first, then became unstable. Several other people couldn't help but take a breath, and their expressions became subtle.
This proposal seems to be very beneficial to News Corp, but what is hidden behind it is difficult to make a choice.
The two of them sang and smiled at each other at this time, and this was an open conspiracy.
Chapter 348 His Majesty the King
It's worthy of being Rupert Murdoch. I thought he would hesitate for a while, but I didn't expect that he agreed in one go.After leaving the club, Claude sighed.
Because he has no better choice, as an old fox, he knows very well how to do it more favorably for him.In terms of quick decisions, we are indeed not as good as old guys like them who have worked hard for decades.
Adrian shrugged, but no matter what, our purpose was achieved.
The so-called open conspiracy, to put it simply, even though you know that there is a pit ahead, you have to jump in.
Adrian and Crowder did not want News Group to make any substantial compensation, and even said that they could help them overcome the current difficulties. As long as Murdoch stepped down, it seemed that they were just trying to get some breath, but in fact it was not the case.
Once Murdoch left his current position, even if he could still control the News Corp board through his son, it would be impossible to use his fingers as before.
Moreover, there are constant disputes within the Murdoch family. Without the suppression of old Murdoch, there will inevitably be a fight between the children. Maybe the ex-wife who cares about her children will join in secret. It will take a lot of his energy to deal with these alone.
In this case, News Corp will inevitably slow down, and what problems will this lead to? The experiences of Adrian and Crowder being calculated before have already shown them.
Therefore, News Group will inevitably adopt a more conservative strategy in the future and move forward with a mentality of not seeking success but seeking nothing for a long time. For other media groups, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity, so Lei Shidong and others almost don’t talk much later.
Murdoch will definitely not be willing to accept it, but the problem is that this is his best choice. Wall Street will not see News Corp decline. The reason why they have participated in the previous suppression of AC Media and the current suppression of News Corp is mainly because they do not want to see an overly powerful media group.
Just like Adrian's Hollywood strategy, if Mu Xiu Lin's words are just showing the tops of the tree, it would be nothing, but if there are too many, it will definitely not be strong.
AC Media and News Corp both have this ability, but News Corp is always an outsider, and AC Media is too closed, so when there is a chance to suppress them, Wall Street will take action without hesitation.
In fact, in another time and space, the reason why News Corporation's eavesdropping incident fermented to that level is not unrelated to these masterminds behind the scenes.
In short, Wall Street may not let News Corp decline or even collapse, but it is happy to see Murdoch out. Adrian and Crowder also act like if they don't agree, then they will drive you out. In the end, they will naturally be the two evils to take the least.
Besides, he is not unable to turn over. The so-called waiting for a while before stepping down decently is to give him time to pave the way.
Moreover, if you get used to the behind-the-scenes work, you may play an unexpected role in the future.
Adrian and Crowder did not really want to fight News Group to the death, as they would only be cheaper. On the one hand, Murdoch stepped down and gave AC Media plenty of time, but on the other hand, they were indeed able to live up to their face.
So, Murdoch, who had been thinking about this for a long time before coming here, thought carefully about this situation and finally agreed in person.
Anyway, we won, winning thoroughly than Murdoch.Adrian laughed and said again.
That's right, win more thoroughly.Claude glanced at him with some complexity.
Well, the subprime mortgage crisis was predicted by him again, and he also realized Madoff's fraud case and used it so cleverly. Even when he arranged for people to go to the World News, he thought it was just a chess move...
But, so what?
You're right, Ed.Claude stretched out his fist, and as long as we were intimate, no one could defeat him.
Adrian laughed, stretched out his fist and touched him: Of course, we are the best partners, the best brothers.
The two of them laughed without any barriers, walked down the steps and headed towards the club's parking lot.
By the way, that reporter, what are you going to do?
In another two weeks, people will find his car wreck under the cliffs by the sea, and all kinds of conspiracy theories will emerge one by one, and then Nordic is a good place for retirement.
Well, you've thought about it... Then how about we have a drink now?
Well…sorry, Crowe, I have a date in the afternoon.
Oh, hell, who is this time?
Ashley Greene, like Brooklyn Daye, plays an important role in the upcoming "Twilight" and is a very delicious little girl.
Wait, you were not with that so-called socialite before, what was your name... Olivia Wilde?Is it this name?
It is Olivia Palermo. Although they are all called Olivia, their surnames are different.Isn’t somebody hype that Olivia Palermo is the prototype of Blair in Gossip Girl?Since that's the case, of course I'll call her over and take a look.Anyway, it's okay. His temperament is indeed better than Liton, but his figure is slightly worse, and he looks more like the younger version of Julia.Of course, I did date Olivia Wilde, she is as hot as the little fox, but unfortunately...
OK OK, don’t talk about your love hunting history in front of me.
Ha ha.
The subprime mortgage crisis is still spreading, mortgage companies are constantly going bankrupt, and the financial market is in chaos, but there are industries that are going against the current, such as movies and media.
When the financial crisis comes, people always hide in cinemas and use various movies to relax themselves from their worries. Even if News Corp is troubled by eavesdropping incidents, Fox Pictures still makes good profits.
Therefore, Adrian also continued his legend, especially after 2007, when the Oscar nomination list was announced at the beginning of 2008, it once again made countless people either depressed or resentful.
Although he did not nominate too many awards this time, there were no two most important awards, Best Film and Best Director, but with Best Actress and...
The nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film still has enough hatred.
Yes, at the end of December 2007, the director of Miracle or super director who had been on the verge of more than a year, Adrian Cowell launched his new work, a movie about the Japanese funeral industry.
Most of them are Japanese dialogues, and they only have English at a very rare occasions, and then Japanese funds are available. In addition, the response is very good, so they are nominated for the best foreign language film without any difficulty.
Suddenly, many people were uneasy again. A contributor from Variety magazine even wrote in a joke tone in his online column: Is Director Miracle going to win all the Oscars once?
Of course, there is Yuki Nakama's Best Actress, which is the first time that Asians have been shortlisted for Best Actress in the past 30 years, which is absolutely big news.
It is also because of this that when the female version of "The Devourer" was launched in Japan and North America at the same time, the Japanese evaluation was divided into two extremes. He praised the miracle director for accurately grasping the cultural essence of the Yamato nation, and even local directors may not be able to produce such wonderful works.
It is hard to say that criticism is not good. After all, 80% of the scenes completely restore the daily life of the Japanese, so the firepower is concentrated on things like understanding it is too superficial and forcibly inserting American culture.
In North America, it is probably because most people have never seen the rural life in Japan, and they praise exotic styles and different cultures of life thinking.
However, after the nomination list came out, the Japanese voice suddenly stopped, and there was no left at all, and then sang hymns like North America.
Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film is one reason, and Yuki Nakama's Best Actress is another reason. Yuki until now has received a green card, and she has Adrian in her place anyway, so she can be naturalized at any time, so even though she has lived in the United States for more than ten years, she is still a Japanese citizen.
Therefore, Yuki Ei, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, instantly became a model for Japanese artists, so the Japanese commentary quickly unified the caliber.
The change of face is so fast that it is amazing. From this we can also see how profound the United States has influencing Japan.
Of course, more importantly, their eyes are still staring at the Oscars.
Not only Japanese, Americans and Asians care very much because...
This is the work of a miracle director who has praised countless miracle girls!
Unfortunately, the Americans breathed a sigh of relief, while the Asians were disappointed, and the best actress finally fell into the hands of Helen Mirren, who was the starring role in "The Queen" which was postponed for one year.
Although Japanese won the Best Actress in the history of Oscars, that was in the 1950s and 1960s. Now, unless there is a very special situation, it is impossible to have the Best Actress of Asians.
Interestingly, despite this, some mainland netizens still complained that it would be great if Director Miracle directed a movie about China.
It is also worth mentioning that Kate was nominated for Best Actress again this year, thanks to the movie "Truth First", which is undoubtedly Adrian's evil taste.
The music is a little worse, but it is also eye-catching. After careful planning by Adrian, Christina broke the record and won six gold phonographs at the Grammy at the beginning of the year, which attracted the attention of the entire music scene.
Her album may not be as good as Britney's super album in terms of sales, but it will definitely leave a lot of money in the history of Grammys.
Of course, this caused Britney, Avril and Taylor to unite that night and tried every means to squeeze Adrian.
Interestingly, this is the leader of Avril. Taylor was urging him to Britney instead. After the Madoff fraud case was exposed, Adrian took Scott Swift in for a few days before making it out.
When he learned that he had socialized with Madoff at work, Adrian made this plan, but at that time Madoff was not easy to defeat, and Taylor also had other weaknesses, so he was not used.
Now that I was hitting her indirectly, and because of Taylor's playful mentality, she was a little lost in her heart, so I was completely obedient and held in my hand.
This is true in terms of film and music, and the same is true in terms of romance. After the release of "Twilight", Amanda Pete and Janeuri Jones failed to run away, and not long after, like "Desperate Housewives", the effect of marijuana was not in the midst of the melee without Christine, Amber and Dakota.
He originally wanted to play the girls in "Gossip Girl" like this, but Amber and Teresa are not yet at this point, and Jamie is still a little young, which is not that he can't do it. Britney ate it at this time.
The main thing is to beware of old Spears doing stupid things. His eyes are too short-sighted, and Jamie is not subtly influenced by him for a long time like Britney, so he can only wait.
But it doesn't matter. There are no gains here. After "Harry Potter and the Phoenix Huáng Club" was released in 2007, "The Mixed-Blood Prince" was quickly put on the agenda. Naturally, Ravend Brown's casting activities were put on the agenda.
With the intervention of Adrian, who played his absence again, Rosie Jones from Surrey, England received the role. No surprise, he personally checked her in bed, especially the breasts that were comparable to those of Jili.
Therefore, as the Harry Potter movies get closer to the end, the female students who fall into the hands of corpse eaters are probably going to be promoted to Rising.
Moreover, Adrian's range of beauty hunting is more than this. When Nasja Liu Jin from the American Women's Gymnastics Team won the women's all-around championship with elegant and seductive movements in the National Stadium, only the coach in the team knew that she did not live in the Olympic Village two nights before the game, but moaned softly under a man in a room on the top floor of the Pangu Grand View Hotel.
It seems that sex can make female gymnasts perform better, but of course, this is moderate. In the women's team a few days later, it was precisely because of a mistake from Nasja that the silver medal that should belong to the United States became a bronze medal.
Although she had tasted the gymnast at Holkina long time ago, and although she could still make many difficult movements with the resilience she retained, she was still a little older, so Adrian wanted to try a younger one.
Especially at the end of the summer vacation in 2007, after using "The Vampire Diary", a relatively amateur gymnast was very interesting, so he simply got the famous Nasja Liujin in the United States.
For Russian immigrant families like them, it would be better to be able to hold on to their thighs.
Not only that, Marisa Mayer, the famous so-called No. 1 beauty in Silicon Valley, the vice president of ggle, was also got involved with him. Although Adrian had teased Marisa before, the other party did not buy it very much. Unfortunately, when he became serious, she was still stunned.
It is also worth mentioning that the desperate Jennifer Lawrence officially signed with DP after her 18th birthday, becoming one of the adult actresses, and then her debut was soon released.
How to say, her acting skills are indeed excellent, so much so that Adrian regrets letting her become an adult actress after watching it.
But this idea was only a matter of a moment, and it was pushed forward. Do you still need to get it?
And if Stoya has already been gained, he must push one, which is for balance, not to mention that "The Hunger Games" has decided to give it to Christine.
Besides, Jennifer Lawrence is not very beautiful either. There are many people who are more beautiful than her, so why bother?
It's really a pity, so just find the porn queen, Monica Cruz and Mira Kunis to make a few more adult movies and make her the successor of the porn queen.
That's how he is. He can always get what he wants, always do what he wants, and always create miracles, as if nothing can be done.
He represents Hollywood and may not rule here as he pleases. Although like the US president, he is often the spokesperson of interest groups, his influence cannot be ignored, and he is more like...
The King of Hollywood!
********************
The car door opened, and on both sides of the red carpet, the clicking flashes began to flash quickly. Even though people kept marveling in the crowd, the shutter speed still did not decrease.
The decent suit, the angular facial features, the slightly bearded stubble, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, which makes it look serious and friendly, as if you can be friends at any time, but with a sense of mystery that is lofty.
Women like him because they can make them happy in a few simple words; men like him because he is good at enlightening them; actors like him because he represents opportunities; producers like him because his movies always sell well; journalists like him because they always find big news in him; film schools like him because he always discovers many high-quality movies that meet the taste of American society; Wall Street likes him because he can always find more valuable investment projects; leftists like him because his works always taste them; rightists like him because of his wealth and background, which makes him born to stand on their side.
Women hate him because he always wants to sleep with them; men hate him because he is good at stealing women and can always get them; actors hate him, especially male actors, because they are not as advantageous as actresses; producers hate him because they are all in his hands; journalists hate him because his bottom line is very high and changes at any time, and no one who touches the bottom line ends well; film schools hate him because he takes too many Oscars; Wall Street hates him because he covers his things tightly and does not let them attack; leftists hate him because his wealth and background make him naturally stand opposite; rightists hate him because his works and some of his remarks always tend to behave.
However, no matter whether you like or hate, whether you love or hate, it is impossible to deny that he, Adrian Cowell, is the well-deserved king of Hollywood.
This is the first time you have appeared on the Oscars' red carpet with a woman in your arms, right?
Kate, who was walking hand in hand with him, walked hand in hand with him, leaned into his ear and asked.
Of course, my dear.Adrian chuckled, Is there any problem?
You're not worried now?Kate hummed out.
What should I worry about?This is the 1981st Oscar, and there will be many more in the future, so they will have a chance.
Adrian stretched out his hand and bounced her face in the flashing light. I will slowly introduce them to everyone. Of course, you are the first one, always the first one.
Then, he laughed: I'd better worry now. Although your acting skills are excellent, and although I directed "The Converted Son" by myself, with the example of "The Devourer", will the judges still give me face?
Kate glared at him, but said nothing, but just tied his arm tighter, stepped on the red carpet, slowly walking towards the sacred Oscar awards venue with numerous eyes.
Murdoch said loudly to the phone, his second son, James Murdoch, who has become the chairman of Sky TV this year with the support of his father and is responsible for News Corp's European and Asian operations.
Damn it!
Murdoch, who put down the phone, cursed fiercely in his heart, wiped his face with his hand before closing his eyes, and suddenly he felt a little tired.
There is no doubt that this is done by AC Media. After the Guardian exposed the eavesdropping incident of the World News, its media such as CNN started to report it at full speed. Although there are not many newspapers or magazines, AC Media has the advantages of the Internet. Discussions about eavesdropping incidents can be seen everywhere on yutube or facebk. When you open ggle to search for keywords, the homepage of the news group is reported unfavorable to the news group.
In short, it is not concealed at all, and it is completely nakedly showing hostility.
This is very bad!
Almost everyone knows what Adrian said that night.
Now they took the lead first, and made such a huge trend, which was very unfavorable to News Corporation.
How could they know that the News of the World had eavesdropped?
Murdoch couldn't help thinking so.
You must know that even he is not very clear about these things.
Could it be...
Have they discovered it long ago?
The old man's brows frowned deeply. According to the information collected so far, reports about eavesdropping began to appear one after another two weeks ago. However, the wealthy News Group has rich connections and has settled them one by one with their help.
However, although those reports did not have much impact, they left an impression on many people.
So, when the former employee of the World News came out to provide evidence, he also had a lot of evidence, plus the rival of the Guardian, and AC Media spared no effort to instigate him, especially the royal family, the situation expanded so quickly.
But Blair has resigned again. The prime minister in office is Gordon Brown. His relationship with News Corp is very average, and he often appears in public as a conservative but liberal mind. He will definitely support the investigation, so...
The more Murdoch thought about it, the tighter his brows frowned.
Finally, he pressed the call button: Mr. Miller?Please inform the crew immediately, I need to go to London immediately.
The Guardian's report on the news of the World eavesdropping on the lives of royal members, and with the intention of some people, it quickly swept across the UK and even Europe.
Under the urging of the House of Commons, Scotland Yard had to start a serious investigation, and then began to have various turbulent situations, sometimes involving multiple cases, sometimes the senior officials of the newspaper were unaware of it, sometimes there was evidence that News Group was using its influence to put pressure, etc.
But Murdoch believes that he can handle these things. Even if AC Media is fueling the fire, they are still too anxious. If he waits for the previous year and Brown takes full control of Downing Street, he will face greater difficulties.
But now, although Blair has resigned, his influence is still there. Coupled with News Group's mixed connections in the UK, AC Media may have the upper hand for a while, but it will definitely not last long.
However, what he did not expect was that two weeks later, News Corp suffered heavy blows from the United States.
When August entered CNN suddenly broke out that News Corp. was suspected of eavesdropping on the phone calls of 911 victims, and immediately pulled the attention of Americans who had only wanted to watch the show.
911 has become a counter-scale for Americans. Some people may think that the Bush administration's launch of the Iraq War is immoral, but it is absolutely supportive of 911's retaliation.
This situation revealed this kind of thing, and it also brought some evidence. In addition, CNN's report was biased, which undoubtedly triggered the anger of some Americans. There was a proposal that immediately cooperated with lawmakers to ask the FBI to thoroughly investigate the matter.
Murdoch finally began to take it seriously. Although the UK is important, if someone pried the foundation of the United States, it would definitely be more than worth the loss.
Fortunately, Bush is still in office now, and he is still confident of controlling the development of this matter, but soon things began to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
On August 4, Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, announced that its hedge funds would stop redemption. This is no big deal in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is a heavy blow in the eyes of investors.
It’s not that no one realizes the possibility of a subprime mortgage crisis, but either thinks it’s not that fast or can only ignore it for some reason.
However, when Bear Stearn announced the cessation of redemption, everyone knew that it meant one thing, and the subprime mortgage crisis had officially come to an end.
Immediately, European and American stock markets fell into a round of plunge!
Then Bear Stearn President Warren Spector announced his resignation, and several mortgage institutions declared bankruptcy one after another.
Although the Federal Reserve began to inject capital to save the market, it could not prevent the crisis from continuing to expand, and it affected the entire European and American financial markets in two weeks.
This is not a big problem for News Corp. Although it has also suffered a shock, the stock price has not fluctuated greatly when someone rescued the market. After all, they have not involved in the real estate industry. Even if someone shorted News Corp's stock since the eavesdropping incident, the losses caused were within an acceptable range.
But the next thing caused News Corp to suffer a great loss. In the continuous reports of subprime mortgage crisis, CNN suddenly broke out again. Bernard Madoff, chairman of Madoff Investment Securities, has been controlled by the police for suspected Pang-style scams, and two executives of News Corp. were also involved. The crime is that it is possible to use its power to help Madoff cover up the scam.
This bombshell made the entire United States, or the entire American financial industry, unable to recover for a long time, fall into the subprime mortgage crisis.
Bernard Madoff is also a top figure on Wall Street. The stable return of 1% to 2% per month in his asset management company has attracted countless customers, and they are all high-end customers. The Palm Beach Country Club founded is also well-known in the industry. The name of "My Nothing" has attracted many investors.
Such a big shot is suspected of using Ponzi schemes to deceive investors?
How is that possible!
But soon, more and more evidence showed that Madoff's asset management company was indeed a Ponzi scheme.
So under the guidance of some people, investors who suffered huge losses began to get angry.
News Group, which was forcibly linked to the public, had a negative impression of eavesdropping on the 9/11 victims, began to be despised by more and more people.
You should know, Barry, this matter has nothing to do with us!Many people asked Madoff to manage their funds. Are they also helping the liar to cover up the problem?
On this side of the phone, Murdoch tried to suppress his anger and talked in a calm tone. His face looked extremely ugly, and his hand holding the handrail was extremely tight.
Finally, he closed his eyes and then pressed the microphone hard onto the landline, making a snap.
Murdoch had never been so tired. At first he was full of confidence, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the current situation two or three months later.
The two senior executives in News Corporation's US affairs did have investments in Madoff, but that was a private act and had nothing to do with the group. It should be the victims. Moreover, those decent people from various investment banks were not trapped by Madoff, but those guys in CNN tried their best to tie News Corporation to this shocking fraud case together!
What a hell!
However, no one cares about the facts. As FOX News has done, the same content will attract a lot of people as soon as it is replaced with an exaggerated and special title.
Then no matter what the content is, they start to criticize based on what they want to see. CNN is just using the other way to give the other person.
It would be fine if it were other times, but now, after suffering the impact of the 9/11 eavesdropping incident and the subprime mortgage crisis, ordinary people need a scapegoat to vent.
What scared Murdoch even more was that AC Media was definitely not the only one who attacked News Corp. All the people behind the scenes who participated in suppressing AC Media before have now appeared in the action of suppressing News Corp.
The simplest example is that Madoff's affairs will never have such a great impact as they are now at other times, and the losses he caused are not irreparable.
It’s not that no one can see Madoff’s tricks, but at the beginning he took the upper level route, had no connections with ordinary people, and had a wide range of connections, especially as a Jew, Wall Street also had to worry about face, so the biggest possibility is that someone jumped out to defend it, and then turned big and small things into small things, and finally returned to the original track.
But this time it doesn't work. The disastrous consequences of subprime mortgages have aroused the anger of the people. Wall Street must have an explanation. Madoff was put in front as a scapegoat, and then...
How about a News Corp., which has greatly increased negative impression among Americans due to the eavesdropping incident?
These bastards!
This group of vampires who are not full!
Murdoch hit the handrail again. If it were just AC Media, he was confident that he could still deal with it even in this situation. But if everyone started to target News Corp., then it would be in danger, let alone...
Why do they have such a good grasp of the timing?
This question has been bothering Murdoch, and the feeling of uneasiness has surpassed.
Finally, he reached out to pick up the phone and reluctantly dialed a number.
It's me, Sam, can you... help me contact those two?At this moment, he seemed to have been several years older.
********************
Under the blue sky, even though winter has begun, the vegetation outside still looks particularly green in the sun.
So I love Los Angeles, and despite the little rain here, it is definitely a good place to go in the winter.Adrian, sitting at the round table, said carelessly with a smile.
You can't deny that New York has its benefits.Lei Shidong continued with a smile.
This is, at least it is good to walk on the drizzling streets of Manhattan in summer.
Claude walked over with a golf club, followed by Time Warner's president and CEO Jeffrey Bicks.
Do you think, Rupert?Thunderstone turned to Murdoch with a smile.
Every place has different places to miss.Murdoch smiled, and Thunderstone in his eyes shook his head invisibly.
This situation has been going on for a while. Although he was in charge of the two sides, both sides agreed to sit down and have a good talk, but they have never talked about the topic until now, even though he deliberately brought Jeffrey Bicks from Time Warner to accompany Disney's Robert Eagle.
Of course, he understood that after all, Murdoch had been in the media industry for decades, and it was difficult for him to accept the fact that he was forced to this position by two younger generations. Taking the initiative to sum it is already a sign of weakness. If possible, he definitely didn't want to speak first.
Adrian and Crowder, as rising stars, are young and energetic and proud. They were plotted by Murdoch a few months ago. Now that they have finally forced him to this place, they are naturally more willing to negotiate with Murdoch as a winner. Speaking first is definitely not the first choice.
This is bad. Murdoch will speak sooner or later. After all, he proposed the peace talks first, but at that time, the peace talks will be very difficult.
As the oldest media tycoon present, Lei Shidong was not willing to see such a situation. After all, the talents on Wall Street are the most worthy of guarding against.
Fortunately, the two young people of AC Media are not people who don’t know the overall situation. Soon Adrian then followed the topic of the subprime mortgage crisis and began to guide: Obviously, everyone has a premonition, but they can’t be sure when it will happen. After all, no one can stop the flow of capital, just like they can’t stop people from eating and drinking water.
As he said that, he looked at Murdoch with an indescribable smile: If capital needs to flow, there will inevitably be transactions, but transactions are not limited to capital, or money.This is a very special word, which in a sense can be regarded as the foundation of the United States.A transaction can allow criminals who should be sentenced to death but only need to stay in prison for decades. A transaction can prevent a drug lord from serving his sentence for a long time. A transaction can make the police turn a blind eye to the minor crimes of billionaires. A transaction can allow the congressman to win the throne of president. A transaction can make the president boldly violate the law... Here, there is nothing that cannot be traded, as long as you have enough chips.
His slow words echoed in the ears of several people. Although they were not very pleasant to hear, they were all truth. Which of the few people here has not walked in the gray area, and which has never made a deal with the government.
Thoughtful words.Murdoch finally spoke, No wonder you have such a great influence in Hollywood, and now some people even call you... the King of Hollywood.
Although he tried his best to make himself look like he was teasing in a relaxed tone, the effect was really not very good.
But Adrian didn't care and still smiled: You misunderstood, Rupert, I admit that this has played a lot of role, but most of it has been achieved through my own efforts, just like AC Media.
Murdoch was silent. Although his words seemed to praise Adrian, they actually mean: Don’t you want to be the most powerful spokesperson in Hollywood completely?
I can help push another one.
But Adrian's answer was: No.
He now has an influence in Hollywood that no one else can have. He is only one step away from the peak and can go up without help.
At the same time, he also vaguely said that he would not use compensation for the financing that was ruined because of Murdoch's intervention as a breakthrough.
As for the current financial environment, AC Media's financing will have a little impact, but it is not a big problem, so they will not consider it for the time being.
So, tell me what you want.Murdoch suddenly got tired of this way of playing puzzles, anyway, the other party had already released his kindness.
Adrian and Claude looked at each other, and then Claude spoke: We don’t want much, we can ignore everything you do, and we can also help News Corp deal with the impact of the eavesdropping incidents that have caused much greater than you think, Rupert.We can even help News Corp stabilize the situation and continue, and deal with Wall Street and the White House together. You know, those greedy guys never thought about taking us in their hands, and we only have one request.
We hope you quit, Rupert.Adrian threw out the answer in turn, and Murdoch's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and his face became a little ugly.
Don't worry, you can retain the position of independent director on the board of directors, or simply consult with News Corp as a consultant, and the person sitting in that position can also be from the Murdoch family, and you can continue to direct behind the scenes.You don't even need to quit now. You can step down decently for physical reasons after these things come to an end.We can exchange our trust in each other through cross-holding, and at the same time ensure that the candidates you want and who will listen to you will get to that position.
Claude continued.
This is our only requirement, you must give us an explanation.Adrian added.
Murdoch's face turned red at first, then became unstable. Several other people couldn't help but take a breath, and their expressions became subtle.
This proposal seems to be very beneficial to News Corp, but what is hidden behind it is difficult to make a choice.
The two of them sang and smiled at each other at this time, and this was an open conspiracy.
Chapter 348 His Majesty the King
It's worthy of being Rupert Murdoch. I thought he would hesitate for a while, but I didn't expect that he agreed in one go.After leaving the club, Claude sighed.
Because he has no better choice, as an old fox, he knows very well how to do it more favorably for him.In terms of quick decisions, we are indeed not as good as old guys like them who have worked hard for decades.
Adrian shrugged, but no matter what, our purpose was achieved.
The so-called open conspiracy, to put it simply, even though you know that there is a pit ahead, you have to jump in.
Adrian and Crowder did not want News Group to make any substantial compensation, and even said that they could help them overcome the current difficulties. As long as Murdoch stepped down, it seemed that they were just trying to get some breath, but in fact it was not the case.
Once Murdoch left his current position, even if he could still control the News Corp board through his son, it would be impossible to use his fingers as before.
Moreover, there are constant disputes within the Murdoch family. Without the suppression of old Murdoch, there will inevitably be a fight between the children. Maybe the ex-wife who cares about her children will join in secret. It will take a lot of his energy to deal with these alone.
In this case, News Corp will inevitably slow down, and what problems will this lead to? The experiences of Adrian and Crowder being calculated before have already shown them.
Therefore, News Group will inevitably adopt a more conservative strategy in the future and move forward with a mentality of not seeking success but seeking nothing for a long time. For other media groups, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity, so Lei Shidong and others almost don’t talk much later.
Murdoch will definitely not be willing to accept it, but the problem is that this is his best choice. Wall Street will not see News Corp decline. The reason why they have participated in the previous suppression of AC Media and the current suppression of News Corp is mainly because they do not want to see an overly powerful media group.
Just like Adrian's Hollywood strategy, if Mu Xiu Lin's words are just showing the tops of the tree, it would be nothing, but if there are too many, it will definitely not be strong.
AC Media and News Corp both have this ability, but News Corp is always an outsider, and AC Media is too closed, so when there is a chance to suppress them, Wall Street will take action without hesitation.
In fact, in another time and space, the reason why News Corporation's eavesdropping incident fermented to that level is not unrelated to these masterminds behind the scenes.
In short, Wall Street may not let News Corp decline or even collapse, but it is happy to see Murdoch out. Adrian and Crowder also act like if they don't agree, then they will drive you out. In the end, they will naturally be the two evils to take the least.
Besides, he is not unable to turn over. The so-called waiting for a while before stepping down decently is to give him time to pave the way.
Moreover, if you get used to the behind-the-scenes work, you may play an unexpected role in the future.
Adrian and Crowder did not really want to fight News Group to the death, as they would only be cheaper. On the one hand, Murdoch stepped down and gave AC Media plenty of time, but on the other hand, they were indeed able to live up to their face.
So, Murdoch, who had been thinking about this for a long time before coming here, thought carefully about this situation and finally agreed in person.
Anyway, we won, winning thoroughly than Murdoch.Adrian laughed and said again.
That's right, win more thoroughly.Claude glanced at him with some complexity.
Well, the subprime mortgage crisis was predicted by him again, and he also realized Madoff's fraud case and used it so cleverly. Even when he arranged for people to go to the World News, he thought it was just a chess move...
But, so what?
You're right, Ed.Claude stretched out his fist, and as long as we were intimate, no one could defeat him.
Adrian laughed, stretched out his fist and touched him: Of course, we are the best partners, the best brothers.
The two of them laughed without any barriers, walked down the steps and headed towards the club's parking lot.
By the way, that reporter, what are you going to do?
In another two weeks, people will find his car wreck under the cliffs by the sea, and all kinds of conspiracy theories will emerge one by one, and then Nordic is a good place for retirement.
Well, you've thought about it... Then how about we have a drink now?
Well…sorry, Crowe, I have a date in the afternoon.
Oh, hell, who is this time?
Ashley Greene, like Brooklyn Daye, plays an important role in the upcoming "Twilight" and is a very delicious little girl.
Wait, you were not with that so-called socialite before, what was your name... Olivia Wilde?Is it this name?
It is Olivia Palermo. Although they are all called Olivia, their surnames are different.Isn’t somebody hype that Olivia Palermo is the prototype of Blair in Gossip Girl?Since that's the case, of course I'll call her over and take a look.Anyway, it's okay. His temperament is indeed better than Liton, but his figure is slightly worse, and he looks more like the younger version of Julia.Of course, I did date Olivia Wilde, she is as hot as the little fox, but unfortunately...
OK OK, don’t talk about your love hunting history in front of me.
Ha ha.
The subprime mortgage crisis is still spreading, mortgage companies are constantly going bankrupt, and the financial market is in chaos, but there are industries that are going against the current, such as movies and media.
When the financial crisis comes, people always hide in cinemas and use various movies to relax themselves from their worries. Even if News Corp is troubled by eavesdropping incidents, Fox Pictures still makes good profits.
Therefore, Adrian also continued his legend, especially after 2007, when the Oscar nomination list was announced at the beginning of 2008, it once again made countless people either depressed or resentful.
Although he did not nominate too many awards this time, there were no two most important awards, Best Film and Best Director, but with Best Actress and...
The nomination for the Best Foreign Language Film still has enough hatred.
Yes, at the end of December 2007, the director of Miracle or super director who had been on the verge of more than a year, Adrian Cowell launched his new work, a movie about the Japanese funeral industry.
Most of them are Japanese dialogues, and they only have English at a very rare occasions, and then Japanese funds are available. In addition, the response is very good, so they are nominated for the best foreign language film without any difficulty.
Suddenly, many people were uneasy again. A contributor from Variety magazine even wrote in a joke tone in his online column: Is Director Miracle going to win all the Oscars once?
Of course, there is Yuki Nakama's Best Actress, which is the first time that Asians have been shortlisted for Best Actress in the past 30 years, which is absolutely big news.
It is also because of this that when the female version of "The Devourer" was launched in Japan and North America at the same time, the Japanese evaluation was divided into two extremes. He praised the miracle director for accurately grasping the cultural essence of the Yamato nation, and even local directors may not be able to produce such wonderful works.
It is hard to say that criticism is not good. After all, 80% of the scenes completely restore the daily life of the Japanese, so the firepower is concentrated on things like understanding it is too superficial and forcibly inserting American culture.
In North America, it is probably because most people have never seen the rural life in Japan, and they praise exotic styles and different cultures of life thinking.
However, after the nomination list came out, the Japanese voice suddenly stopped, and there was no left at all, and then sang hymns like North America.
Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film is one reason, and Yuki Nakama's Best Actress is another reason. Yuki until now has received a green card, and she has Adrian in her place anyway, so she can be naturalized at any time, so even though she has lived in the United States for more than ten years, she is still a Japanese citizen.
Therefore, Yuki Ei, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, instantly became a model for Japanese artists, so the Japanese commentary quickly unified the caliber.
The change of face is so fast that it is amazing. From this we can also see how profound the United States has influencing Japan.
Of course, more importantly, their eyes are still staring at the Oscars.
Not only Japanese, Americans and Asians care very much because...
This is the work of a miracle director who has praised countless miracle girls!
Unfortunately, the Americans breathed a sigh of relief, while the Asians were disappointed, and the best actress finally fell into the hands of Helen Mirren, who was the starring role in "The Queen" which was postponed for one year.
Although Japanese won the Best Actress in the history of Oscars, that was in the 1950s and 1960s. Now, unless there is a very special situation, it is impossible to have the Best Actress of Asians.
Interestingly, despite this, some mainland netizens still complained that it would be great if Director Miracle directed a movie about China.
It is also worth mentioning that Kate was nominated for Best Actress again this year, thanks to the movie "Truth First", which is undoubtedly Adrian's evil taste.
The music is a little worse, but it is also eye-catching. After careful planning by Adrian, Christina broke the record and won six gold phonographs at the Grammy at the beginning of the year, which attracted the attention of the entire music scene.
Her album may not be as good as Britney's super album in terms of sales, but it will definitely leave a lot of money in the history of Grammys.
Of course, this caused Britney, Avril and Taylor to unite that night and tried every means to squeeze Adrian.
Interestingly, this is the leader of Avril. Taylor was urging him to Britney instead. After the Madoff fraud case was exposed, Adrian took Scott Swift in for a few days before making it out.
When he learned that he had socialized with Madoff at work, Adrian made this plan, but at that time Madoff was not easy to defeat, and Taylor also had other weaknesses, so he was not used.
Now that I was hitting her indirectly, and because of Taylor's playful mentality, she was a little lost in her heart, so I was completely obedient and held in my hand.
This is true in terms of film and music, and the same is true in terms of romance. After the release of "Twilight", Amanda Pete and Janeuri Jones failed to run away, and not long after, like "Desperate Housewives", the effect of marijuana was not in the midst of the melee without Christine, Amber and Dakota.
He originally wanted to play the girls in "Gossip Girl" like this, but Amber and Teresa are not yet at this point, and Jamie is still a little young, which is not that he can't do it. Britney ate it at this time.
The main thing is to beware of old Spears doing stupid things. His eyes are too short-sighted, and Jamie is not subtly influenced by him for a long time like Britney, so he can only wait.
But it doesn't matter. There are no gains here. After "Harry Potter and the Phoenix Huáng Club" was released in 2007, "The Mixed-Blood Prince" was quickly put on the agenda. Naturally, Ravend Brown's casting activities were put on the agenda.
With the intervention of Adrian, who played his absence again, Rosie Jones from Surrey, England received the role. No surprise, he personally checked her in bed, especially the breasts that were comparable to those of Jili.
Therefore, as the Harry Potter movies get closer to the end, the female students who fall into the hands of corpse eaters are probably going to be promoted to Rising.
Moreover, Adrian's range of beauty hunting is more than this. When Nasja Liu Jin from the American Women's Gymnastics Team won the women's all-around championship with elegant and seductive movements in the National Stadium, only the coach in the team knew that she did not live in the Olympic Village two nights before the game, but moaned softly under a man in a room on the top floor of the Pangu Grand View Hotel.
It seems that sex can make female gymnasts perform better, but of course, this is moderate. In the women's team a few days later, it was precisely because of a mistake from Nasja that the silver medal that should belong to the United States became a bronze medal.
Although she had tasted the gymnast at Holkina long time ago, and although she could still make many difficult movements with the resilience she retained, she was still a little older, so Adrian wanted to try a younger one.
Especially at the end of the summer vacation in 2007, after using "The Vampire Diary", a relatively amateur gymnast was very interesting, so he simply got the famous Nasja Liujin in the United States.
For Russian immigrant families like them, it would be better to be able to hold on to their thighs.
Not only that, Marisa Mayer, the famous so-called No. 1 beauty in Silicon Valley, the vice president of ggle, was also got involved with him. Although Adrian had teased Marisa before, the other party did not buy it very much. Unfortunately, when he became serious, she was still stunned.
It is also worth mentioning that the desperate Jennifer Lawrence officially signed with DP after her 18th birthday, becoming one of the adult actresses, and then her debut was soon released.
How to say, her acting skills are indeed excellent, so much so that Adrian regrets letting her become an adult actress after watching it.
But this idea was only a matter of a moment, and it was pushed forward. Do you still need to get it?
And if Stoya has already been gained, he must push one, which is for balance, not to mention that "The Hunger Games" has decided to give it to Christine.
Besides, Jennifer Lawrence is not very beautiful either. There are many people who are more beautiful than her, so why bother?
It's really a pity, so just find the porn queen, Monica Cruz and Mira Kunis to make a few more adult movies and make her the successor of the porn queen.
That's how he is. He can always get what he wants, always do what he wants, and always create miracles, as if nothing can be done.
He represents Hollywood and may not rule here as he pleases. Although like the US president, he is often the spokesperson of interest groups, his influence cannot be ignored, and he is more like...
The King of Hollywood!
********************
The car door opened, and on both sides of the red carpet, the clicking flashes began to flash quickly. Even though people kept marveling in the crowd, the shutter speed still did not decrease.
The decent suit, the angular facial features, the slightly bearded stubble, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, which makes it look serious and friendly, as if you can be friends at any time, but with a sense of mystery that is lofty.
Women like him because they can make them happy in a few simple words; men like him because he is good at enlightening them; actors like him because he represents opportunities; producers like him because his movies always sell well; journalists like him because they always find big news in him; film schools like him because he always discovers many high-quality movies that meet the taste of American society; Wall Street likes him because he can always find more valuable investment projects; leftists like him because his works always taste them; rightists like him because of his wealth and background, which makes him born to stand on their side.
Women hate him because he always wants to sleep with them; men hate him because he is good at stealing women and can always get them; actors hate him, especially male actors, because they are not as advantageous as actresses; producers hate him because they are all in his hands; journalists hate him because his bottom line is very high and changes at any time, and no one who touches the bottom line ends well; film schools hate him because he takes too many Oscars; Wall Street hates him because he covers his things tightly and does not let them attack; leftists hate him because his wealth and background make him naturally stand opposite; rightists hate him because his works and some of his remarks always tend to behave.
However, no matter whether you like or hate, whether you love or hate, it is impossible to deny that he, Adrian Cowell, is the well-deserved king of Hollywood.
This is the first time you have appeared on the Oscars' red carpet with a woman in your arms, right?
Kate, who was walking hand in hand with him, walked hand in hand with him, leaned into his ear and asked.
Of course, my dear.Adrian chuckled, Is there any problem?
You're not worried now?Kate hummed out.
What should I worry about?This is the 1981st Oscar, and there will be many more in the future, so they will have a chance.
Adrian stretched out his hand and bounced her face in the flashing light. I will slowly introduce them to everyone. Of course, you are the first one, always the first one.
Then, he laughed: I'd better worry now. Although your acting skills are excellent, and although I directed "The Converted Son" by myself, with the example of "The Devourer", will the judges still give me face?
Kate glared at him, but said nothing, but just tied his arm tighter, stepped on the red carpet, slowly walking towards the sacred Oscar awards venue with numerous eyes.
