"Thank you for your hospitality, Katherine, mark. It's an unforgettable, but not luxurious, dinner." Standing at the door, Adrian, holding Mary and Jessica, said to the Alba couple who arrived at the door.
"I'm glad You can like it, ED, when you're free... " Katherine, with a slight wry smile, glanced at her husband, who was black faced but said nothing after the conversation. "Maybe you can come with Jesse and Mary often."
"I will." Adrian nodded and pinched her daughter's face. "Hey, Mary, we're going to go. Say good night to grandparents."
"Good night, grandparents." The little guy yawned and his face was full of tiredness. It was almost time to go to sleep at this time.
"I'm gone, mom. I'll bring Mary back to see you often." Relieved, Jessica hugged her mother and gave her father a slightly more careful look.
Mark put out a smile. He reached out to touch his daughter's head, but after hesitation, he only patted her on the shoulder: "go on, your mother and I All Respect Your choice. "
He said it very hard. He stopped two or three times and his face twitched, but he still said it all. Then, after saying that, he was more or less relaxed. After taking a look at Adrian, he immediately said, "if there is anything you must tell us, your mother and I are your most solid backing. If someone bullies you, I will show him the color without politeness."
"I will, Dad." Jessica laughed and Adrian pretended not to see it.
After that, they went all the way to the street, escorted by Joshua, and got into the waiting car.
"You don't blame me, are you, ed?" Joshua grabs his head and finally asks, a little embarrassed and fear.
"Don't worry, Joshua. I won't do anything to you." Adrian put a smile around his shoulder. "It was a little angry at first, but it's good to think about it now, when Mary gets older. It's not easy to introduce her to your parents, and it may take time for your parents to accept her, and time has always been the main cause of change, from this point of view. You're a lucky star
"Really?" Joshua was relieved.
"Really." Still, Adrian slapped him hard on the shoulder and slapped him grinning.
However, Joshua was more relaxed. The more Adrian did this, the more he said he would not care about what he said that led to today's somewhat awkward family dinner.
"What did you and my dad say when we went to the room?" After the car started. Jessica asked.
"Oh, little things like the insecurity you had when you were a child, or all the flaws in his education." Adrian shrugged. "He didn't want to admit it at first, but I had to admit it under my strong offensive."
"You told him all this?" Jessica's beautiful face suddenly stepped down, and her voice became sharper. Adrian had to quickly put her finger to her mouth.
"Keep it down. Don't wake Mary up. " Adrian said and patted her daughter who had fallen asleep in her arms. The little guy made a few noises, twisted his head and continued to sleep.
"How can you tell my dad that." Jessica asked in a low voice.
"Why not?" Adrian asked, "you're an adult now, Jesse. Are you worried that his father will look good on him when he knows this? Okay, don't worry about that. I've dealt with your dad. He didn't shoot me. You're right. Your father is tough, but he's not irrational
He took Jessica by the shoulder and patted it. Jessica sighed and obediently put her head on his shoulder.
"By the way, I want to thank you for that." Adrian suddenly said again.
"Thank you for what?" Jessica asked.
"Thank you for not telling your father what I offered," Adrian said, kissing her on the forehead. "Otherwise, it would take a lot of words to explain to your father."
Jessica immediately understood, and immediately gave him a look, but did not say anything. After a long time, she asked in an uncertain voice, "so Ed, if, I mean if, one day I really want to Want to leave? "
Although she could not see her expression with her head down, Adrian was sure that there was tension in her eyes, so she complained, "Oh, hell, why do women always ask such baffling questions?"
"Inexplicable?" Jessica looked up and opened her eyes. She didn't seem to be very happy, but Adrian said to herself, "obviously, if I answer no, you'll say that I'm such a jerk that I don't have credit. But if I answer yes, you'll blame me and you don't care about you at all. At the same time, it's not a good problem to pick up a lover and a girlfriend firstListening to his serious words, Jessica couldn't help laughing for a long time before stopping, but she still looked at him with inquiring and hopeful eyes.
"So," Adrian reached out and lifted Jessica's chin and lifted her beautiful face in front of him. "No matter what's happy or unhappy, you must tell me, because only in this way can I judge whether you are impulsive or really tired when you say that to me, understand?"
Jessica didn't answer. She just put her head on his shoulder and leaned closer.
This is the case for the time being, and it's not entirely Adrian himself, though he does make mark Alba speechless. This is not difficult. As he said to lily at the beginning, once there is any conflict with whom, always remember to occupy the position that can be praised by others first. Maybe there are many other places that can be attacked at that time. However, as long as you constantly emphasize your side which can not be refuted, and then catch the weakness of the other side, you can catch up with each other's weakness and fight hard It really depends on personal ability.
However, this is not the only factor to solve the problem, or even an important factor. Generally speaking, whether the Alba couple can be settled depends on Jessica's personal attitude. As Adrian said. All the actions between him and Jessica are in accordance with the law, and we can only blame him morally. Besides, the children have been born so big, can they not admit it?
So after the initial impulse, the Alba couple made the decision to invite him over, which also showed that they had actually planned to compromise. Jessica's attitude is needless to say. Although I love to play, so many years of family education is not without effect. I gave birth to a child early. When I was not a mother at first, Adrian took Mary with her. In addition to the suggestive conditions he gave at the time of her initial pregnancy, all sorts of factors came together, and even if Jessica had any ideas, she would soon automatically eliminate them.
Naturally, Mrs. albaff couldn't get support from her daughter, and Joshua was on Adrian's side - for Jessica's sake, Adrian gave Joshua a lot of opportunities. Except for the supporting roles in the black angel of the last. In recent years, he has also played an important supporting role in many important TV dramas, such as "CSI" or "24". Now he is a second-line actor.
So last year, Adrian gave him a very important role, thunderbolt fire in the magic four. That's right. I'll play brother and sister in the movie as a real brother and sister. Paramount agreed to this. Joshua and Jessica are very similar, but they are also handsome. It was the eyebrows that looked strange, so Adrian went out of his way to have him repackaged. The effect is very good.
All in all, with their brothers and sisters on their side, and with their lovely Mary and their own words, Adrian succeeded in getting rid of 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 whole society.
It may not be appropriate to use the so-called historical trend, which is vast, prosperous and perishable if it goes along with it, but it is enough to illustrate some problems. Therefore, if you want to achieve your own goals, and involves a wide range of people and affairs, creating and using momentum is the only choice. For example, in the current publicity of the 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 the final song is entitled to a golden man, and Adrian should be the best director again.
In addition, the film academy discriminates against unrealistic works and needs to make changes. Adrian has been nominated for the third time with his trilogy. Before that, there were numerous nominations. It is almost ten years since the last award. Everything is pushing the Lord of the rings: the return of the king and Adrian to his throne. What he has to do is just To guide and conform to this trend, even if some people object to it, will not help.
The same is true for the best actress. It's interesting to say that Kate and Sophie are both famous for their "warm inside light" and "life in the rose". However, at the major awards ceremonies at the beginning of the year, they did not have any awards, either the actors' Union award, the director's Union award or the film critics' Association Award, let alone the Golden Globe Award As for many people, they are not very optimistic about them.
"Some people have made an analysis of the past Academy Awards. The chances of local actors winning performance awards are far more than those of other places. Obviously, the Oscars are always just American Games, so European actors on this year's nomination list should not care too much." Some British newspapers have reported that, of course, by the way, I don't forget to ridicule Oscar.
Unfortunately, this is a superficial phenomenon, Kate will not say, Adrian did not intend to let her go to the top now, since to become the best actress without dispute, it means that she still has a long way to go. As for Sophie, he was preparing for the day from the beginning, not to mention Weinstein's help.
The biggest factor is that "Fahrenheit 911" won the palm of gold. After the Cannes Film Festival in May, the French praised it as a work of conscience. After half a year's fermentation, it has gradually faded down. However, with the official release of the documentary in the United States, and Michael Moore has made it clear that this documentary was only made for the election at the end of this year. As long as one less person votes for the Bush administration, it will be an achievement. Therefore, the French are excited again and can ignore the performance of the documentary Sophie, who wrote life in the rose.Even after "Fahrenheit 911" failed to make the Oscar for best documentary, French critics made a lot of criticism. Think about how dissatisfied the film academy would be. Well, in that case. It's time to respond to these idiots like Gallic chickens, so what's the best way? Some people may not find a way, but don't worry, Weinstein will tell them.
That's not enough. So Adrian has other things to prepare, like the short film "sleepless in the supermarket.". Last year, when he started his trip to East Asia, Sophie took the short film to various film festivals. Although they were not very famous films - at most, the popularity of the Toronto Film Festival was the same as that of the three major film festivals - Sophie also got some good comments. That kind of slightly stream of consciousness but not particularly obvious style attracted some people's attention.
The only criticism by critics is that Kate cross is a little too beautiful. After Sophie's gender reversal, she can better grasp the whole short film and highlight the style of the film, but it also makes Caden look like a vase. Kaiden is a bit of an actor, but he's still very young now. If it's a regular movie. She might play a little bit. But in this kind of short film to play the leading role, coupled with Sophie and some extraordinary play, it is inevitable to be criticized.
But even so, it doesn't stop the short film "sleepless in the supermarket" from being shortlisted for the best short film Oscar, of course. Adrian pushed in the back. So, on the nomination list for the 76th Academy Awards. Sophie has a best actress nomination as well as a best short film nomination. This is the first time in the history of Oscar, and it can be imagined how amazing it will be.
With these, together with the constant nominations over the past few years, and the covert use of all means of publicity and public relations, just like the Lord of the rings: the return of the king, all kinds of factors have come together to form a trend, which has pushed Sophie to the throne of the film queen.
So Adrian likes to take advantage of it. The plan he designed for himself to ascend the throne is to make the best of it. Although it takes a long time to plan to do this, it's not difficult for him, is it? Of course, if there is no long-term planning, such a success rate will not be high, such as -
"OK, OK, I'm sorry you didn't get a gold gramophone, weiniu," Adrian said, raising his hands in the face of Avril.
Grammys are always held before the Oscars, and this year is no exception. If the Oscars are set on the last day of February, the Grammys will be held 21 days earlier on February 8. Several of the most popular female singers of global music have been shortlisted, but the awards are still the same as before. Christina and Beyonce have their own achievements, while Britney and Avril have no success.
It doesn't matter if Britney Spears. Adrian made a show for her at the beginning, and won the full volume award of best album with the highest sales of female singers in the world. Even if it's still very uncomfortable, it's not better than Christina, but it's not so bad twice. But Avril has not made any achievements in the Grammy, only a few nominations are easy to win, naturally very depressed.
So, when Adrian came to see them, he made fun of them, and the girl turned black. Seeing this, he had to apologize first.
"I'm sorry, ED, I'm a little emotional," Avril quickly realized her gaffe, sighed and apologized, "but Sitting there watching others cheerfully on the stage to win awards and speeches, the original excited mood of eager to try gradually cooled down with the passage of time I've felt it once last year and again this year. Really It's very, very bad. "
"I understand, Vicia." Adrian opened his arms and hugged her. "Don't take it to heart. That's what the society for recording and science is like. The more popular a singer is, the more ignored he is. It seems that this can make Grammy unconventional. It's ridiculous. In this case, you need a sense of normality and good works, which can make you better face the honor and music, while good works can let the recording and science society see how powerful you are. Without their approval, you are still the most popular rock and roll girl. "
He said it with both voice and emotion, but it was Avril's white eyes: "come on, ED, these are the words that are often talked about, but the problem is, knowing is one thing, doing it is another."
"So just a few more times and you'll know what to do." A cheerful voice came from behind, and a body hugged her from behind, "Hi, ivy."
"Cloth cloth?" Awed Avril turned her head, then looked at the girl in front of her, and then said hello to Christina who followed her into the lounge.
"I knew you'd come one step ahead of us, you always do." Britney said with a smile, "maybe I should learn from you how to fly to the owner's side at the first time."
Britney has been used to calling Adrian the host in front of more and more people. Of course, they are all very familiar with each other. Similarly, Avril rolled her eyes because of this.
"You have to learn to get used to it, ivy," Britney said casually. "Just like me, I don't get a positive, and then the host gives me a reward."www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
