Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Adrian had never looked down on the bottom line of women who longed for fame and were willing to do anything for it, but this time he was still shocked. He never thought that in that case, he would learn from a young woman like Dakota Fanning.  The words came out of the girl's mouth.  You know, Elle Fanning is her sister, her biological sister. In order to regain his support, she could even betray her own sister!

    Even Adrian, who was used to the exchange of interests in the entertainment industry and even personally induced a woman to betray her best friend, was inevitably surprised.  I originally thought that Dakota was just the second Kirsten, and she would be unambiguous when exchanging herself for tomorrow, but I didn't expect that she could do this and exchange anything for her own benefit.

    In this case, Adrian reluctantly accepted it. As he said before, he likes women who are ambitious and willing to take risks. The more ambitious they are, the more shameless they are, and the easier it is to control them.  Not to mention buy one get one free.  He was not worried at all about the possibility of Dakota writing a bad check. Although her desire was a little stronger - otherwise she would not have accepted the movie "Hound" after his warning - but judging from the determination she showed,  She didn't dare break the contract yet.  Of course, it will definitely take a few years, Elle Fanning is still too young.

    ¡°Besides, it doesn¡¯t matter if they break the contract, Annie, Natalie, and Keira are short of companions.

    Therefore, after the deal was concluded, Adrian immediately accepted the deposit she paid with her virginity.  Concluding an agreement in this way not only comforted Dakota - he could see the relieved smile on her lips - but also allowed him to vent.  As for the sequelae left behind, since Dakota was able to visit him several times without telling his parents.  It shouldn't be a problem to deal with this little thing.

    As for her future path, Adrian has already had preliminary ideas. The negative impact of "Hound" is not impossible to eliminate. As long as it lasts long enough, public opinion will eventually subside, and then she can come up with a good work and conduct a series of projects.  The momentum was enough for her to recover.  With Adrian's methods, there was no problem at all, which is why Dakota tried every means, even if she sacrificed her sister.  Also a reason to regain his support.

    You can give her a try on that Swedish novel.  Adrian thought so in his heart.  He was referring to the vampire novel. When he acquired the rights to adapt the Millennium Trilogy, he also bought the rights to adapt that novel. The Swedish versions of these novels did not need to appear in the movies.  I originally planned to wait a few more years to give it to Khloe, but considering how dedicated Dakota was, it didn't matter if it was left to her.

    After taking away her virginity, ravaging her slightly, and hearing enough of her crying, the girl did not leave, but continued to serve her.  Adrian also played with her all afternoon with some taste.  Except for the back, we have played everywhere we can play.  Whether it was swallowing or making faces, she did a good job, and her acting skills were fully demonstrated. The image of a girl after being violated made Adrian recall it very much.

    However, Dakota is obviously still a little green. Generally speaking, slowly letting go of her body can better catch a man, which is obviously more in her interests.  But from another perspective, giving everything without reservation is tantamount to showing one's loyalty.  It can also leave a lasting impression.

    So be it.  Adrian finally decided, and then sighed.  Although this can temporarily relieve him of his irritable mood, it is still a bad thing if it cannot be fundamentally solved, and right!  Maybe that would be an opportunity, a good opportunity.

    ????¡ª¡ª

    "We are fearless, we are invincible. We move forward until we come to our promised land" In a corner of the reception, a circle of people stood under the lights and sang their own songs, although they were all almost forty years old.  People up and down.  But they sang very happily, and Adrian and Claude were among them.

    ¡°I have to say, I haven¡¯t sung this song in many years, but it still sounds so beautiful.¡±

    ¡°If you attended every year, Ronald, you wouldn¡¯t have such thoughts.¡±

    ¡°I can take it that you don¡¯t actually like our song, Sean?¡±

    "Shut up, Shlane, I mean Ronald doesn't need to be so emotional, but there's no other meaning. Don't even think about attacking me like this!"

    After finishing the song, seven or eight middle-aged men immediately started laughing and shouting, and quickly pointed the finger at Adrian: "By the way, Ed, I heard that you also have great ideas in music now, why not  Let¡¯s optimize our songwell, how do you say that word? By the way, optimize it.¡±

    "Forget it, I just have some ideas. Without professional musicians, it is not easy to optimize," Adrian laughed, "Besides, if it is optimized, it will no longer be our song. This rough feeling,  It represents our past.That is an experience that will never happen again. It should be hung on the wall and slowly turn yellow, instead of being renovated from time to time to maintain its original appearance, right, Crow?  "

    His last words were asked to Claude, who was standing with him.

    Unfortunately, before Claude could speak, another person had already taken over: "That's right, many things have passed and many things have changed. It's better to leave a few things unchanged."

    "That's right. Look, Ed didn't bring any women to his alma mater's reception, and it's said that he had never brought any women with him before. This is really a miracle. Does it mean that your personality will change after you become a great director?"

    "That's not okay, Ed, why don't you introduce some movie queens to us. Some people like your "Moulin Rouge" and the heroine Nicole Kidman very much."

    The group of people immediately started chatting away again. Adrian, who was dealing with it with a smile, could only sigh in his heart.  He is currently attending a cocktail party held at Stanford University. Americans attach great importance to various parties held by their alma mater. This is always a good opportunity to expand their contacts. There may be a rich man or a congressman among the classmates.

    The school can also take this opportunity to win over many people and obtain more donations.  On the other hand, it can also make the school more glorious.  To give the simplest example, there are many princes from Arab countries studying at Harvard University. Although many of them are dawdling, no one knows whether there will be a king in the future, and then Harvard University can be proud of it.  Tell everyone, look, a certain king went to school here to attract more students.

    Therefore, there are never any shortage of parties such as cocktail parties, homecomings, graduation proms, etc. in various schools.  When Stanford University sent the invitation in early June, Adrian agreed and then dragged Claude with him.  For this reason, he also threatened him that if he didn't come together, he would call his godfather.

    "It's really nostalgic. Scenes from the past keep popping up in my mind. It seems like I just discovered it yesterday, but it seems to be far away." Under the soft light of the street lights on both sides.  Looking at the star-studded Stanford campus that has completely fallen into darkness.  Adrian said in an emotional tone.

    After having a fight with their former close classmates, as the reception came to an end and they began to say goodbye one by one, Adrian forcibly dragged Claude around the Stanford campus.

    "It's been 20 years." Claude echoed, although his expression did not change, his tone was also sentimental.

    Adrian was silent for a while. Although he could clearly remember everything that happened here, he still felt a little disconnected.  But now is not the time to think about this, he dragged Claude to a place like this.  Not just to reminisce about the past.

    Unfortunately, before he could further guide the topic, Claude made it clear: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

    His tone was light, as if he didn't care about anything, he just looked into the distance with his brows slightly furrowed, giving people a feeling of impatience under the dim light.  Adrian couldn't help but frown.  It was fine before. When chatting with his former friends and classmates, Claude didn't talk much but was basically normal, but now he looks like before.

    "Okay. Crow, tell me, what are you thinking about?" Adrian asked bluntly.

    "What else can there be?" Claude spread out his hands, seeming a little resentful, "Of course it's about work. I have to think about how to appease everyone and tell them why they were obviously ready to go public, but in the end they didn't.  Change your mind and only raise money in the primary market.¡±

    Adrian raised his eyebrows, feeling a little angry, but at the same time he quickly realized something.

    "Then what do you want me to do? Do you support you when you change your mind?" His tone began to become aggressive. "If you can tell me more clearly what you think before this - this is just a matter of phone calls - we can  If we have a more detailed communication, it won't be like this now. You know, I have always trusted you!"

    "Trust me?" Claude sneered, "Yes, trust me, so it doesn't matter anything. Then when you find that it doesn't suit your wishes, you will veto it mercilessly, and then put all the problems on me.  , This is really trustworthy. In this month, you have to check every document in detail, ha, are you so worried that I will ignore you? "

    "Oh? So I should just do what I did before and just wait until something goes wrong to start a fight?" There was sarcasm in Adrian's tone, and he reached out and punched him on the chest, "I have been against it for so many years.  How many times have I passed you by? You should know in your heart that except for those projects that I am more insistent on, which time have I not supported them?you?  !  "

    "Because without me, you have no intention of turning your fantasies or even fantasies into reality, Adrian!" Claude, who was irritated by his actions, raised his voice.

    "Really? Do you really think that's the case?" Adrian laughed angrily, "I tell you, Claude, even without you, I would still be able to achieve what I am today! Don't forget, it was me who suggested  I was the one who made the first pot of gold by shorting oil during the Gulf War. I was also the one who suggested taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union to make a fortune. I was also the one who suggested acquiring TV stations! It was also me who suggested making money during the IT bubble! Not to mention  I discovered ABC¡¯s high-rated programs all by myself! If it weren¡¯t for me, you would still be in Godfather¡¯s company!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a thud, and then Adrian covered his nose and took a few steps back while staring at stars. It took him a long time to regain his composure, and then looked at Claude in disbelief.  He seemed to be a little confused, and he was stunned for a few seconds. He said after a few seconds: "You asked for it"

    Before he could finish speaking, Adrian had already punched him in the face.  The force of this punch was so strong and the angle was not very accurate that he had to gasp for air and keep shaking his hands.  Claude, who was also dazzled, took several steps back, his eyes immediately turned red, and he rushed forward without saying a word.

    The two men just started punching each other on the sidewalk of Stanford campus. They used elbows, knees, and strangulations. In the end, they even hugged each other so much that they both fell down.  Into the bush¡ª¡ª

    "Thank you, John." After taking the ice pack from the bodyguard, Adrian hissed and breathed in the cold air.  Then he waved his hand again, and the bodyguard left here without saying a word, pretending not to see anything.

    Throwing one of the bags to Claude who was sitting on the ground, Adrian rubbed his own a few times, and finally put it on the bruised area on his face and sat on the ground. Claude opposite him did the same.  Thinking about the same thing, and looking at him from time to time, then quickly looking away.

    After a long time, Adrian continued to breathe in the air-conditioning and said: "Okay, I have vented. Tell me, what are you thinking? Is it really going to the point where you can't talk anymore?"

    Claude muttered something.  His head turned around, then turned away again, with an expression that was hard to say.

    "Can't you be louder the fuck, Crow?" Adrian became angry again, "I've already apologized, I've lowered my profile, can't you react in a slightly useful way?!"

    "Okay, okay, I admit it," Claude finally raised his voice in a self-defeating tone.  "I'm jealous, I'm jealous of you, that's alright!"

    "What?" Adrian opened his mouth and blinked, as if he didn't understand what he was saying at all.

    "I said, I'm jealous of you. I'm jealous that you can always make correct judgments about the future," Claude said dejectedly.  "I also tried to analyze and predict possible outcomes through observation, and I achieved certain results, but that's not the case with you. You always seem to have known it for a long time. It was nothing at first. But as time went by, I started to have some problems.  Uncomfortable, I can also make these judgments, but some are right and some are wrong, but you are always right So when I spent a lot of time preparing to list the group, you thought it was not a good time and firmly opposed it.  ,nature¡­¡­"

    Before he finished speaking, Adrian punched him in the face: "Are you still a fucking 16-year-old boy?! This is not the time when I hooked up with the cheerleader and her two best friends!  Where is your brain!"

    This time he was really angry. What he said before was mainly to provoke Claude's anger and let him vent it out, even if it was to yell a lot - of course, Adrian didn't expect it.  To the point where he actually punched him - but what I didn't expect was that this guy was really thinking about this kind of thing. God, was he still a mature adult man?  Is he still CEO Jian, the president of AC Media?  How could you have such a stupid idea like a child!  It actually lasted for so long!  How could Adrian not be angry or annoyed!

    So, unable to hold it back, he punched him directly. Of course, Claude punched him back without hesitation, and the two of them immediately started fighting again.  The final result was that each of them had an ice pack for cold compresses in their hands, and the bruises on their noses and faces became more obvious.

    The two grown men just sat on the ground, panting and sucking in the cold air while glaring at each other, as if neither one was convinced by the other.  After staring like this for a long time, the corner of whose mouth began to twitch. The two of them turned their heads to different sides in unison, and then after a while they said in unison: "I'm sorry."

    After being stunned for a moment, the two of them twitched their mouths again, and said in unison: "What are you sorry for?"They both rolled their eyes and smiled bitterly before Claude stepped forward and spoke: "Okay, let's talk first."

    After a pause, he seemed to be hesitant, but he quickly said: "Ed, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had such childish thoughts, but I couldn't control my jealousy, and I delayed it.  I want to sincerely apologize to you for taking such a long time. I hope this will not affect the relationship between us. You are my best friend and my best brother."

    "You also admit that it is a childish idea." Adrian snorted coldly.

    "Adults also have childish thoughts." Claude remained calm.

    "Okay, Crow, I accept your apology, but I also want to apologize to you again," Adrian sighed, "Although I reflected a lot after the quarrel, for example, if I was more careful, I could have seen you earlier.  plan so that I can fully communicate with you as before, but I still overlooked one point. Just as you said, my prediction has always been correct, and I have always been proud of it until I hit a wall with Steve Jobs.  .Although I always said, it doesn¡¯t matter, everything can¡¯t go smoothly, but I didn¡¯t really let go, because I always thought I could convince him, I could. But I failed in the end, and I couldn¡¯t accept this, so when  After the same thing happenedthis was caused by my arrogance. If I had been more tactful and delayed a little bit, maybe what happened today wouldn't have happened, so I still have to apologize to you."

    Claude didn't speak, and looked at him after a moment: "So, you admit that you lit the fuse."

    "Well, if that's what you think, then so be it." Adrian rolled his eyes.

    Then, the two people who looked at each other suddenly burst into laughter. It was so strong that it seemed to shake the entire Stanford campus, and the previous haze was swept away.

    ¡°Damn it, that punch from you was so cruel, how could I show up at the company meeting tomorrow?¡±

    "You are the same, you hit me in the eye, and I have to promote the movie."

    "Come on, when have you cooperated with the promotion of a movie? There are many people below complaining to me about this."

    "You should be glad that my strength has not recovered yet, otherwise I will definitely beat you up again."

    "You can try it. It's been a long time since I've beaten you so hard."

    The two people who helped each other up slowly walked out while chatting, and stopped after a few steps.

    "You know, there is an insider in the group, and his position is not low."

    "of course I know."

    "oh?"

    "You said that I have read all the reports during this period. I am not a fool."
