"A glass of champagne." Natalie, who sat down, said this to the bartender, and then looked to Rachel, who was holding her face in her hand, fiddling with her glass of ice and lemon.
"Hi, Rachel," she said in her usual voice, "how does it feel for the best supporting actress?"
Rachel didn't answer for the first time. Instead, she fiddled for a long time. Then she raised her finger and took a sip of Kingston's power. Then she turned her head and looked at her with a smile: "this sentence should ask you, Natalie, how does the best actress feel, especially Second, the young best actress
Her face was flushed and her eyebrows were slightly intoxicated. Although the taste of Jin Tang Li is suitable for women, it can still be counted as alcohol.
"Do you think this is normal?". Natalie didn't talk nonsense with her. They were both smart people. Adrian had been imprisoned for a long time. There was no need to cover up.
"Normal?" Rachel raised her eyebrows, and then gave out a chuckle, with a hint of mockery, which made Natalie uncomfortable, but she looked at her quietly.
"Of course not! How many women like us, tied by a man with a rope, still insult and trample on by him, without dignity and status, just like a dog, happy to lose a bone, not happy to kick on a foot, this is not normal! " Rachel kept her voice down, but the feeling of grudging hatred was obvious, and her hand holding the cup became tight.
A glimmer of joy flashed through Natalie's eyes, and then she said in the same reluctant voice, "don't you think We should do something to change that. "
Although she doesn't have much contact with other women in Adrian, she has been able to sidestep a lot of things over the years - Sarah is a good talker, Britney is simple minded - so Natalie chose Rachel. It is said that Adrian loved to torture her, to trample and humiliate her, and that poor Rachel suffered.
Of course, Natalie also knows that what she hears may not be true. Sarah thinks Adrian sometimes goes too far, while Britney thinks the host has no problem doing so, but she has no better choice - Natalie doesn't understand why those women Yes, he is powerful and talented. Yes, he is one of the top media tycoons in the world, but But
At this point, she would subconsciously avoid some questions, and then let it go. All in all, Adrian is the only woman who's around. Especially at the vanity fair party tonight, Natalie thought it was a great time to see her sitting alone.
A normal woman will not endure that kind of torture forever, so she only needs an opportunity, a chance to open the gap of things that she has accumulated in her heart and dare not release. Anyway What she needs is not an ally. She can't resist or dare to resist. She even dares not to go too far. However, she doesn't want to wait for death. Therefore, it is very necessary to find cannon fodder to block the way ahead.
"Change?" Rachel's eyes became a little hazy, and her expression became hesitant. It seemed that those words had worked. Natalie was going to continue. Unexpectedly, her partner suddenly burst into a nervous smile: "why change?"
Leng Leng looked at her for several seconds, repeatedly recalled that there was no more or wrong to say after, restrain their own uneasiness, Natalie asked: "why not?"
"Why?" Rachel then asked, and Natalie could not help but shut her mouth. If she continued to ask, they could argue about it all night.
But Rachel didn't wait for her answer, and her expression became slack: "I know what you want to say, Natalie, but don't worry, I'm just I just have Stockholm syndrome. "
As a psychology major at Harvard, she certainly knows what Stockholm syndrome means, but But
"Hey, guys, what are you doing here?" The familiar voice suddenly came into her ears, and her hand holding the cup tightened a lot, but she still controlled her mood and looked up at the terrible man.
"Nothing. We're talking." Rachel, looking up, said with a smile, "talking about psychology."
Can I know the details. Adrian asked with a smile.
"Oh, it's easy," Natalie wanted to change the subject, but Rachel didn't give her the chance. "We're talking about my Stockholm syndrome."
She said, holding Adrian's hand, and her smile became more and more charming. With her rosy face and the slight drunkenness between her eyebrows, she seemed particularly Sexy: "ed, can we find a place to have a private chat? I have You can't wait **I, flog me, torture me I got the best supporting actress. Won't you reward me.
The more she talked about it, the more she breathed, and the more hazy she looked at Adrian's eyes, as if she were explaining Stockholm syndrome in action, and Natalie's face turned whiter."In fact I'd love to, Rachel, but... " Adrian seemed surprised and looked at Natalie sitting next to him.
"Yes, I know. It's customary for you to be with the best actress tonight," Rachel waved nonchalantly. "That's OK. At least you're free now, aren't you?".
She said to stand up, close to him in front of the wave of a breath, and then swaying the body to one side.
Adrian whistled softly at her back until she was far away, and then looked back at Natalie: "I'm sorry, Nada, I'd like to excuse me, but I think it's appropriate, right? Of course, don't forget you're mine tonight
Without a word of superfluous words, he chased Rachel away, and Natalie glanced around without expression. Although the party was full of people, no one noticed them. It's perfectly normal for a playboy to be rejected again by someone who has been rejecting it and then chasing another object.
However, the humiliating feeling that she was treated as a plaything was still holding her heart hard, which made her unbearable. No matter the media's query or the exclusion of other women, it could not be compared with it.
"Not like Annette? Bening? Not as good as Hillary? Swank more tension? I think the guy who wrote this story must have hit his head. " Gwyneth uttered a Tut, then threw the newspaper aside.
"You should be immune to this kind of thing, gwyne," Blanchett came over with a snack. "Isn't that what journalists do all the time?".
"I'm just complaining about Natalie, who played so well in" go ahead "that even Kashi's children think. And before that, almost all the media thought so, but after an award ceremony, the wind changed immediately, and it was incredibly fast. " Said Gwyneth, raising her eyebrows.
"I said, it's a common thing. After I took the best actress, the reporters immediately came to your side?". Blanchett said, pouring three red cups and delivering one of them to Natalie. "So don't mind that, Natalie - of course, I don't think I need to remind you, right?".
"Yes." Natalie picked up her glass and sipped, and though she had a smile on her face, she snorted coldly in her heart.
Of course, they will maintain this. After all, Adrian's works have been on the back of the film. If journalists question her, they are questioning them. If it was something else, they would not talk to her so kindly. Even if they defended her, the smell of resisting people from thousands of miles away was very obvious. In their eyes, she was an intruder.
At the thought of this, Natalie's heart is a burst of restlessness. Although Adrian's humiliation is nothing compared with Oscar night, it is also very uncomfortable. Why does he bring himself here.
Just then Adrian's voice came: "Hey, aren't you going to come and help? I don't have three hands. "
At the same time, accompanied by the cry of two children, turned around to see Adrian holding a nearly one-year-old child in one hand and a few years old in the other hand, standing there depressed. The one who is about one year old is OK, just crying. The one who is a few years old is holding one of his legs, which makes it inconvenient for him to walk. Natalie knew that the smaller one was EBO, the child of Adrian and Gwyneth, and the older, Eleanor, the child of Adrian and Blanchett, and that he had several children, all of them with different women.
Often think of this, Natalie more and more disgusted with this man, she is not unaware that he and some women have children, but until today she found that there are seven or eight, and their mothers are different. These women are crazy, thought Natalie, especially when she sees that they are still getting along well.
"Isn't that your duty, ed?" Gwyneth laughed.
"I remember someone saying that there was no need for help." Blanchett said the same thing.
"Well, so you're going to stand there and watch the kids cry?" Adrian rolled his eyes, but there was no anger or displeasure. He looked more like a joke.
"I'll do it." Blanchett said and walked over, calling on the nannies who followed but did not dare to do so, and asked them to pick up Eleanor and give her to her. Gwyneth went with her and went to her.
Natalie took a deep breath and looked down at the newspaper in her hand. It has been more than two days. The record breaking best director of miracle director still occupies a large page. After all, it's not that no director won the best Oscar for decades, but it's still the first time to get the Oscar for two consecutive years, so it's worth it.
What's more, the winners themselves are quite controversial in this respect. Adrian's identity as a media tycoon has more than once been said that he is both a player and a referee. There is always a market for gossip such as buying colleges. However, the most striking event was the celebration of gay organizations. They believed that the best director and best actor of Brokeback Mountain was another major victory after its release and nomination, so that small-scale demonstrations broke out in San Francisco, Boston and other places.Of course, there are also many people who think it's wrong not to take the best film. This is the discrimination of the naked. Some critics also criticize that the Academy's awarding the best film to crash at the last moment is a kind of leniency, but this has not won the support of the overwhelming majority of people. On the contrary, some people think that they should get ready, so the previously United gay organizations began to split. Even though there were demonstrations in many parts of the United States, their momentum was much smaller than before the Oscars.
In addition to expressing their disappointment at the academy and declaring that they are not aimed at the miracle director himself, the conservative groups have nothing more to say. This competition looks like a win for gay organizations, but only those who stand higher can see clearly.
In short, no matter how many people complain about Eastwood and Scorsese, especially Scorsese, according to the opinion poll, 80% of people think that this old Italian American should have been the best director for a long time. However, as everyone knows, the poll was conducted by Fox TV.
Even so, with the support of gay organizations, such words as "miracle director gets the best director by playing" are only circulated in minority forums, and a wide range of public opinion still thinks that he is lucky and has selected good subjects. It is also because of him in front, Natalie received less questioning, more like routine.
It's a pity that she's not happy - except that his children are daughters, which gives her a little pleasure.
"Finally liberated. Hey, what are you looking at? So focused? " Adrian, relieved, sat down in his chair and turned to Natalie, who was flipping through the newspaper.
"Nothing, just some comments." Natalie replied blandly.
"You look a little unhappy?" Adrian didn't like her attitude. "Why don't you go out and play tennis?"
"No, No She shook her head perfunctorily, then added: "nothing."
"Do something? It's not good to be in the house all the time. " The other side uses the tone of concern to say, still full of sincerity.
Natalie bit her lip subconsciously. What she can't adapt to most is this. Adrian is patient and considerate to any woman. Different types of women have different corresponding ways, and it's easy to get the favor of each other. But However, no matter who has gone through such a change, it is impossible not to change. At least she will never forget his cold and heartless that day, but he seems as if he has never had such a thing in his life.
So Natalie is always afraid, worried, afraid of her own fate, worried about her future, want to use all means. What's even more difficult for her to accept is that she wants to forget these things completely, that is, she was sent to the summit by him in bed, and she was so tortured that she almost went crazy, so she took the risk to contact Rachel.
"Well, I mean Maybe I should go back, "Natalie said after taking a deep breath. She wasn't sure if Rachel had told Adrian about her courtship, but she really wanted to be alone.
"So fast?" Adrian picked his eyebrows.
"It's been two days. I You have to go back and get together with your friends, or you want to change... " Natalie pursed her lower lip. Although the traditional media haven't paid attention to it, the gossip about her and him has intensified in the network. Whether the Playboy has made the Harvard talented woman in bed has become the most popular topic among netizens. After all, no miracle girl has twice served as the female director in the film directed by the miracle director and won the prize She got the nomination, not to mention she got it.
This is another place where Natalie is uneasy. She begins to find that Adrian created this kind of atmosphere in which she is the only woman he can't catch up with, and gradually begins to bind her.
"Well," he replied unexpectedly after pondering, "since you want to go back to New York, I can't force you, so let's make sure about one thing first."
He gave her a look at Gwyneth and Blanchett, who were looking after their daughters. He got up and walked out. Natalie doesn't understand what he's doing behind him.
"I had a play given to you a week ago. Did you read it?". Coming outside the living room, Adrian asked.
"Well Yes, not bad. " Natalie said, recollecting.
"If you start now, can you fully interpret the character's inner world?". Adrian continued, "or are you ready? I'm going to turn it on after May. "
"I have grasped some characters' characteristics, but it still needs time to figure out. After all, psychological activities account for the majority. I want to Wait Natalie suddenly stopped and opened her eyes incredulously. "You mean You mean You mean... "
"Yes, I will direct and make this film myself, and you, will be the main character of this film, the only leading character." Adrian looked and nodded very seriously.
Natalie just felt a buzz in her head. Everyone in Hollywood knows what it means to be a heroine in a movie directed by director miracle.But But she has This year has been But judging from his appearance, it seems that he really intends to How could this be But he's a miracle director. He's made Hanks the best actor, and he's been the best director ever, and he's going to God, it's unique
Great surprise and great fear wrapped this Natalie, so that she could not speak at all, can only stare at him.
