Chapter 239 Trivia in England

"French critics haven't come up with a decent film review so far. What do you think, Sophie." After the party, Adrian asked with a smile while hugging Sophie in private.

"I don't know." Sophie replied after hesitating for a long time.

In any case, she is French after all. If she can be affirmed by people from her own country, critics, and filmmakers, it will undoubtedly be very good, and it will also be able to wash away the vase title she has always had, but French filmmakers, critics, etc. What are your feelings about her? Or put it this way, in the eyes of men, she is their true love, but what about in the eyes of women?

Because of this, after the trailer of "Life in Roses" came out, the French had a headache. As early as Adrian launched "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the French have always hoped that he can make a French film. No matter how much Europeans look down on Hollywood, if their works can be recognized by Hollywood Without exception, they will be extremely proud and proud, after all, where is Hollywood's influence placed.

And Adrian is already one of the representatives of Hollywood, a world-class director, each of his works has amazing results, many of the best-selling movies and TV series produced by Hollywood are related to him, and he is still so young, At the same time, he is also a world-class media tycoon. Through "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", Monica Bellucci, the representative of the Italian actress, won the Oscar for Best Actress.

If such a big man can make a film with a French flair. It doesn't matter the best actor or actress. If you can get the best movie or best director, it is enough to prove the charm of France in the world.

However, what they never expected was that Adrian actually made a French-inspired film, and it was also a biographical film of the famous Edith Piaf. Well, the long-awaited film finally came to fruition. It's come true, so we can celebrate it, but... why is the heroine Sophie? Marceau? It will be that vase!

That's right. This is what French men generally think of Sophie, a beautiful, delicate, very coquettish vase, nothing more. This is why Sophie's acting skills are still average, but after so many years of hard work, she still hasn't won much honor and recognition in France.

The French most want to see a director who makes a French-style movie. While allowing them to get what they want, they use a vase that they least want to see as the heroine. It is conceivable how entangled their feelings are. Oh, God. Even Juliette Binoche is better than Sophie Marceau, right? In particular, the vase looked pretty good in the movie, which made them even more entangled, so after the screening, the film reviews from France were a little painless.

"Don't take it to heart," Adrian pulled Sophie into his arms. "Everyone will see whether your performance is outstanding. Even if they don't want to admit it, it doesn't matter. When you become the most dazzling woman on the Oscars, Their ideas are already insignificant, let alone ... they do not represent all French people."

"You're really good at coaxing people, Ed." Sophie smiled. He looked calmer, but then he said half-jokingly: "If you fail to achieve the record this time, will you be very angry?"

"How is it possible, dear, I promised you that." Adrian laughed and cupped Sophie's face. He kissed her moist lips.

There is a reason for him to say that. Adrian had told Weinstein long before the "Life in the Rose" movie that what should be done can begin. When "Pirates of the Caribbean" was handed over to Miramax to operate, Harvey Weinstein promised Adrian that he would help him tackle the problem three times with all his strength.

Monica used it once, Nicole used it again, and another time can naturally be used by Sophie. As for the rest, Adrian has his own arrangements.

Weinstein was in a bit of a bind at the beginning. This was not an easy task. With Adrian having won Best Actress for several years in a row, it was absolutely not easy for Sophie to win the first place 100%. But Adrian just gave a small reminder, and he immediately accepted it with a smile on his face. There is indeed a very good advantage, and it will not be a problem if it is used well.

Of course, Weinstein also took the opportunity to say with a cheeky face, seeing him working so hard, isn't it...

"You run the three parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to the extreme, and you can win over Depp well." Adrian replied with a smile.

In December's film frenzy, apart from those blockbusters aimed at the market, there is also a documentary film among the Oscar-winning films, yes, Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11". After winning the Palme d'Or in May, although it was reported several times that it would be released in the United States, it was soon postponed, either because it was not easy to classify or because the theaters could not reach an agreement. After repeated delays, It is finally determined that it will not be released until the end of January next year, and there are very few theaters.

However, Miramax’s strategy was very successful. At least throughout the second half of 2003, when discussing documentaries or political issues, “Fahrenheit 9/11” could not be avoided. Every time it was about to be released and then postponed, it attracted a lot of attention. , when it is released next year, I believe it will definitely have a higher impact on the general election than the original one. But it’s hard to say how much higher. The result of a general election will never be changed because of this factor. If you want to pull Bush out, accusing him of sexually harassing underage girls is much more useful than accusing him of starting a war. Adrian The result of the narrow vote victory in An's memory is enough to explain the problem.

What's more, Texas has invited Crowder several times, and recently it has been a bridge between him and the Dallas Cowboys. Looking at these, we know that they are determined to win Bush's re-election next year.

Well, regardless of this, no matter how the election develops, it has nothing to do with Adrian, even if Bush loses in the end. So after Christmas, after playing with the women and the daughters for two days, he returned to London as planned to meet the new Chelsea coach, or the new Chelsea coach who will soon be.

"Forgive me. Mr. Kewell—Adrian, there are many excellent football coaches in Europe, why do you insist on inviting me to coach Chelsea?" In the large suite of the London Hotel, the Portuguese in suits and ties looked very stylish. Man, asked after dropping a candy cube into his coffee mug.

"I know your concerns, Jose," Adrian who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows turned his head and smiled slightly, ignoring the other party's thick accent, "I don't deny it, I'm an American. I'm from the football desert, and I don't Deny, the acquisition of Chelsea is to help the group's development in Europe, but this does not mean that I don't understand anything."

He walked back slowly and looked at Jose Mourinho, who is still only a young coach and not a madman: "Leave professional matters to professional talents. I don't know much, but it doesn't prevent me from looking for... the best coach to take charge of this team."

Adrian sat down. Picking up the cup and smiling, he continued: "I am very confident in my vision, even in an industry I am not familiar with. I have watched some videos of your coaching, and frankly speaking, I can't see the pros and cons of your level. and high and low, but I noticed two points, two key points. First, you like to say some arrogant words in front of the media to attract people's attention. Those reporters and fans may think you are talking big, but I absolutely No. It’s your strategy, you take the pressure off your players by drawing attention to yourself.”

When he said this, he paused: "Second. For a football coach, you win and draw far more than you lose. A coach who can lead the team to win continuously and try his best to decompress the players. Keeping their morale up must be an excellent coach."

Without waiting for Mourinho to speak, Adrian waved his hand and said: "Chelsea is still largely a blank sheet of paper, so it is very suitable for painting. This is why I bought Chelsea instead of those giants. In Europe and even In the world's top competitions, turn a mediocre team into a powerful force that everyone looks up to, lead them to win countless honors, and build a new giant. Is there anything more exciting and challenging than this? The people at the club should have told you, and I'll repeat it here, I can give you full power, Jose, I won't interfere in anything, you can train this team as you want, here you are You are the boss, all you need to do is one thing, lead the team from one victory to another!"

Raising his hands, he finally ended his speech. After a long silence in the room, Mourinho took a long breath and put down the cup in his hand: "It seems that I can't refuse your proposal, Adrian."

"I'm glad you made the right choice, Jose, Chelsea welcome you." Adrian smiled and held out his hand, "Also, Porto will win the European Cup in a few months, right? "

"Of course." Mourinho, who was shaking hands, replied proudly after a few seconds.

"By the way," Adrian said suddenly, "I'm preparing a football-related movie. The team will be based on Chelsea. If you don't mind, I hope the coach is based on you."

"...As you wish." Mourinho, who was struggling for a while, nodded, and Adrian immediately laughed.

In fact, it is basically certain that the Portuguese agreed to Chelsea's invitation. No matter how mediocre Chelsea is, they are still one of the Premier League teams. Which coach would not want to coach in the top European competitions? What's more, there is an annual salary of 5 million euros, and the club owner who fully supports him.

So this meeting was proposed by Mourinho. The purpose was just to meet Adrian, the new Chelsea boss, to confirm what kind of person he is and whether the promises he made will really be fulfilled. Although Adrian's acquisition of Chelsea caused a small disturbance before, the British media had a lot of reports on him, and he was already a popular figure in the eyes of reporters earlier. Although as his power grew step by step, the media involuntarily began to divert their attention, but analysis articles about how he developed are still everywhere, saying what a genius he is and how good at creating miracles, but only by seeing Really?

Therefore, after Adrian gave Mourinho a reassurance, there is no need to say much about the rest, as long as the contract is signed. It's useless even if Abramovich thinks about it after the European Cup. The only strange thing is that he doesn't have an adopted son named George Wood. This is really strange. Adrian clearly remembers it. Maybe he came to England to adopt him? But it's impossible... Well, whatever, Adrian is too lazy to look for detailed memories, that's not a big deal, football is just a small adjustment in his life, leave it to Mourinho.

Speaking of Mr. Abu. He finally sold Tottenham. I don't know what kind of means he used. Although he spent a lot of money, it was not as high as it used to be. This is really boring. Adrian thought he would attack Manchester United or Manchester City, but then again, Abramovich did this to make himself a celebrity, and the team is naturally the best in London.

"Of course I like Tottenham. Otherwise, why would I buy them? Of course, Chelsea is also good. In fact, I really wanted to buy Chelsea at the beginning. I didn't expect Ed to do it first. It's a pity. Thanks to this, I was able to pick myself. My favorite." said the well-dressed Abu. The whiskers are clean-shaven, but there is nothing less of a Slavic appearance.

"Then I should congratulate you, Roman. Of course, if you buy a team, you must choose your favorite." Adrian raised his glass with a smile.

Since he has no good impression of this Russian oligarch. But there was no ill feeling, so when he met the other party at a social reception in London, he just chatted a few words.

"That's right," Abramovich said with a smile, "so I will definitely turn Tottenham into a luxury warship. If possible, I hope that the most dazzling stars in the world can play for me in Tottenham."

"I believe you can do it. Roman, I can see that you are the kind of person who never admits defeat, and I like people who never admit defeat." Adrian patted his arm actively, "As for me, I prefer Leave it to the professionals, but at the end of the day I prefer to do what I want.”

Don't worry, no one will rob you. Adrian's subtext is this. He is not interested in spending big money to bring in some flashy players. Like that... what about Chenko? Now that the team has been handed over to Mourinho, let him be in charge. It is up to him to decide what players are needed. Chelsea needs to spend a lot of money. Instead of spending these useless efforts, it is better to use it to build a Training base, better improve the youth training part.

"That's true. I like several of your works, especially the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. I don't know how to make movies, but it gives me the feeling that people who are full of mundane things can't make them. No wonder Some people always say that Ed is good at discovering the charm of women." Abu's expression suddenly became ambiguous, "To be honest, our Russian girls are not bad."

Adrian raised his eyebrows when he heard the last sentence.

"I fully believe that women in every country and region have different charms. This is the reason why I pursue women. They are the source of my inspiration." He said this, and then made a gesture of excuse, and he would be a little dazed Abu left in place and left.

Adrian knew Abramovich's purpose, who made the media one of the largest media groups in the world? It's a pity that although he is lecherous and always plays unscrupulously in East Asia, it doesn't mean that he is really a fool with a sperm and a brain. So let’s let Abramovich air first. There are also many girls in the United States and Russia. Speaking of which, Michael Ovitz has developed a lot in the sports world with his agent company.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little pity. Maybe it would be better for Miss Mila Kunis to become a high-end call girl, so that he can also patronize her business when he has time.

After changing the fate of Kaiden Cross, Adrian decided to fish one ashore, so he must push one into the sea to maintain balance, although many women have fallen because of the butterfly effect he caused. He chose Mila Kunis, a Slavic woman who was born in Ukraine and immigrated to the United States with her family on the eve of the disintegration of the Red Empire.

This identity is why Adrian chose her. She has no background and connections, so it is very easy to deal with her. That's exactly what happened, although she held on for a while, it was just that Martin, who was in charge of the matter, didn't take it seriously, and now her first adult movie is about to be released.

It's really a pity. Mila Kunis has been playing small roles in various movies and TV shows since 1995. If she has such a resume, she should be very happy to be a high-end call girl. But since it's already like this, it doesn't matter, he said at the beginning that as long as he snaps his fingers, the other party will willingly undress him, so that's fine.

It just so happens that the adult version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been secretly contacted by dp, and when her debut is released, it will definitely be nice to have her star in alongside the porn queen.

As for now, rejecting Abu does not mean that Adrian has no women to play with in London, not to mention that it is very convenient to go back to the manor, not to mention Liu Li and Liu Yufei who are close at hand, just those who need to socialize will go up, want to climb There are countless women in his bed.

"Every woman wants to sleep with you, Ed." In the large bathroom of the hotel suite, Kelly Brook said with a smile on Adrian's chest, her body immersed in the water.

"You're very good at talking, Kelly." Adrian squeezed her plump body with his underwater hand.

"It can't compare to your sweet talk—of course, not everyone is qualified to sleep in your bed." Kelly narrowed her eyes and seemed to enjoy it.

Then, there were footsteps in the rising mist, and a young girl in a bathrobe appeared in front of the two of them in the bath, and then untied her belt generously.

"Come on, Cheryl, Ed and I are waiting for you." Kelly immediately called out in greeting. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
