As the car door opened, the cheers became louder, and the shutter sounds became louder. Two people walked out of the car. They were the two protagonists of tonight's movie premiere.
"Mr. Kewell, many film critics gave you good reviews before the test screening. What do you think of this?"
"Do you think your performance meets the critics' evaluation? Do you think Miss Theron meets it? "
The voices of the reporters rose and fell amid the screams of the fans, and the cameras in their hands flashed non-stop. This was the first time that the media mogul and super director had appeared on the red carpet of a premiere holding a woman's arm. It was not that he had never done this before, but he usually did it after the actresses came to the red carpet. It was indeed the first time that he got off the car and entered the theater with Charlize's arm. Did this mean that the former secretary was special?
At the thought of this, the reporters' questions became louder. Unfortunately, Adriaan did not give them any chance at all. He just laughed and used those tactful words to deal with them. Soon, the shutter sounds became louder. After walking for a while, Adriaan held the arm of another girl who arrived first. It was the current secretary Ivanka, who played a role in "Iron Man"!
With such a picture, one could almost imagine how many people would discuss it if it appeared in the media. So the reporters simply gave up asking questions and kept taking pictures until they went in.
"It's interesting to see them excited and unwilling." Charlize, who was wearing a translucent black evening gown with long sleeves, said after entering the theater.
"Of course, after being annoyed by these people for so many days, it's nice to see them like this." Ivanka, who was wearing a white strapless gown with deep cleavage, immediately said.
"Let's go in." Adriaan just said lightly. The formal smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by depression and annoyance.
However, after entering the theater, the smile returned to his face. There were many guests attending the premiere tonight, and they were all people of high status. After all, this was the first time that Adriaan played the lead role in a movie. He played the role of a billionaire and a playboy, and he also caused a huge stir in the early stages. People with a bit of status in Hollywood would be invited to support him.
Of course, most of the women were also there. Usually, under such circumstances, there would be no lack of women who would flirt with him. This time, they were very cooperative, which made the premiere particularly harmonious. Many people who wanted to watch the fun were disappointed.
As for the movie, there was no doubt that it was very successful. Although Adriaan gave the crew a lot of headaches during the shooting, the effect was very good after the post-production was completed. Tony Stark's temperament was exceptionally compatible with him. Especially in the beginning, which showed the slightly frivolous but charming appearance of a playboy, it made the people in the theater snicker. It was too appropriate.
In the nirvana scene in the cave, Adriaan's performance was slightly worse, but the clever editing made up for it. In addition, the standard did not drop too much, and it still maintained a good flow. After returning home, he became a technical geek. Although it was not quite the same as the playboy before, it was not difficult for Adriaan. The action scenes and various special effects were also above the standard, so the last sentence, "I am Iron Man," easily pushed the atmosphere to a climax.
However, the most interesting part of the whole movie was the confrontation between Charlize and Ivanka at the beginning. When they were shooting, there were sparks between the two of them. Now that they were on the big screen, they were even more at odds with each other due to the editing. Many people who saw through the clues couldn't help but snicker. Other than that, the conversation between Stark and the American soldier in the car at the beginning of the movie was also a very special highlight. In the original version, the soldier wanted to ask him if he had slept with all the cover girls of Maxim magazine in December, but now it had been changed to the centerfold of Vanity Fair's Best Actress. He wanted to know if they all had a close relationship with him.
"The one on the far left agreed to go on a date with me after I spent four weeks with her, and the fourth one on the right has been ignoring me. I'm asking her best friend for help," Stark replied in a matter-of-fact tone in the movie.
When they first filmed this part, both the actors and the director broke out in a cold sweat, but at the same time, they were all looking forward to it. Although no one said it explicitly, everyone basically knew that the Miracle Girls definitely had an affair with Adriaan.
Adriaan didn't care at all. Anyway, the script didn't mention names, nor did it give a completely accurate answer. However, the dramatic effect was very obvious. At least on the next day, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet among gossip-loving people. Posts with titles like "Adriaan admits to having an affair with the Miracle Girls through the movie" were everywhere on the forum. In addition, posts like "New Love vs. Old Love on Screen" or "Adriaan Enjoys His Life with Women" were also rampant.
Although the film critics gave good reviews, some comic book fans also admitted that Adriaan's Tony Stark was not bad. But there was no doubt that the thing that attracted people to the cinema the most was the super gossip. Therefore, the box office in the first week easily reached 130 million.
As a result, Adriaan once again became eye-catching, and the halo around him became even more dazzling. Whether it was as a director or an actor, he could make the box office in the first week exceed 100 million.
Unfortunately, he wasn't very happy.
"Unfortunately, you can't. You're still a little girl, and you're very popular now," Adriaan said to the girl sitting on his lap with a chuckle.
"I know, but making a movie is more interesting than making a TV series, isn't it? And I'm already a big girl, Eide. "Selina nestled in his arms, shaking his arm and saying softly.
"Selina … Dinner is about to start …" Mandy Tiffy's voice came from the side. Her eyes were evasive, as if she didn't dare to look her daughter in the eye.
"Got it." Although Selina turned her head and answered calmly, the expression on her face became very ugly for a moment, and a trace of disappointment and resentment flashed in her eyes.
Mandy seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she turned back to the kitchen. Only then did Selina turn back and continue to smile sweetly at Adriaan. "Please, Eide, even if it's just a supporting role."
"No." Adriaan reached out and pinched her chin. "For now, you'd better focus on making a TV series. When the time is right, I'll arrange a role for you."
"You promise?" Selina moved closer to him.
"I promise." Adriaan raised his eyebrows.
The girl giggled and exhaled in front of him. "There are still a few minutes before dinner. Let me try some dessert first."
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed between his legs. After a few moments, she leaned over and buried her head. Adriaan took a deep breath as she moved. As for Mandy, although she saw this scene during the Dragon Boat Festival lunch, she didn't do anything other than turning a little paler. Even when Adriaan and Selina ate and lingered in front of her, or when Selina pressed her on the table after she cleaned up, Mandy could only bear it silently.
This was the situation that Adriaan wanted to see. Mandy and Selina were different from Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei. It was impossible for them to completely rely on him. Therefore, it was best to let the mother and daughter have a sharp conflict without turning against each other. In this way, Adriaan could benefit from both sides and manipulate them to his heart's content. With the addition of a certain thing, the mother and daughter would be completely in his bag — here, the influence of some things was not as great as imagined. It might even bring more fame. Therefore, in another time and space, even if Paris Hilton was physically and mentally injured, she could still have a great influence.
However, there were some things that could never be touched. Once it was exposed, it would be the end of the world. From the very beginning, Adrian had used some tricks and tricks. He had even deliberately left evidence behind, and he wasn't among them. With such a huge leverage in his hands, Mandy and Selina could only obediently submit. Selina also hated her mother because of this.
This made Adriaan extremely happy. In fact, he could have taken it slowly and used some gentle means to trap them so that they would be firmly grasped unknowingly and eventually completely fall into his hands. Compared to this kind of crude means that might cause a backlash, it would obviously be more effective. Unfortunately, he needed to vent now.
After the quarrel that day, although Adriaan apologized to Claude after calming down, they both understood each other and took a step back. Claude gave up going public and chose to raise funds in the primary market, Adriaan fully supported him. However, after that, the relationship between the two did not fully recover. Most of the time, they only spoke a few words when they met. It had been almost a month since then.
This made Adriaan very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do. In this situation, he could not express anything, because it was equivalent to admitting that he was at fault. This was absolutely unacceptable to him. Adriaan admitted that he was indeed responsible, such as being careless and being too excited at the time. However, this did not mean that the fault was all on him. The question of why Claude was also so irrational had always been a question.
However, until now, Claude had not expressed anything, so naturally, Adriaan was very uncomfortable. After accumulating such emotions for a long time, he naturally needed to vent them. He could not vent his violent emotions on his own women. Ivanka had already made him feel very guilty. However, Annie, Natalie, and Kayla could admit that Kayla had mocked Natalie after finding out what she was doing. In the end, Natalie provoked her and said that she was obviously more favored by Adriaan for being able to do this. So, Kayla, who could not refute, immediately joined in without hesitation.
She had such a strange personality, so it was a great idea for Adriaan to let Kayla and Natalie act in "The Other Boleyn Girl" together. When the time came, he would have even more fun.
However, there were only three people, after all, and it was not enough for Adriaan. The two Korean toys could be played a little more seriously, but not too seriously. So, Adriaan turned his attention to Selina. The girl's moans and cries, as well as the conflict with his mother, all made him feel better. At this time, he could not be bothered with the demon king anymore.
Other than that, there were also people who came to his door.
"What can I do for you, Hannah?" After the girl sat down on the sofa in the study, Adriaan asked in a gentle tone. Although he did not look much different from a few months ago, there was a hint of a giant in his voice.
Dakota Fanning bit her lip. She did not seem to have changed much from a few months ago, but her face was a lot paler.
"I'm … I'm …" She tried to keep her voice calm, but her hands were clenched tightly on her thighs, and her eyelids were lowered as if she was very regretful. "I'm here to apologize, Mr. Kewell."
"Oh?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows, looking like he really did not understand.
"I shouldn't … I shouldn't have been so stubborn," Dakota continued. "I shouldn't have accepted … 'Hound'."
"Oh, you mean that?" Adriaan pretended to be indifferent. "Don't worry, I'm not angry. That's your choice, and I respect your choice. Hannah, you don't have to worry."
Hearing this, the girl's face turned even paler. "No … No, Mr. Kewell, I was really wrong. I … I was muddle-headed at that time. I thought … I already knew what I did wrong. Please … please forgive my rashness. I promise I will be obedient in the future."
She pursed her lips, and her widened eyes were shining with a pleading light. Unfortunately, Adriaan was unmoved. "I told you, Hannah, I'm really not angry."
In the end, Dakota still accepted the movie "Hound". Then, just like what had happened before, when the cast of the movie was announced, the critics were in an uproar. Countless people were puzzled and criticized the female director for using a little girl to play a rape scene. Then, Dakota and her family were implicated.
Although this time, Kampummel listened to the director's advice and only screened the movie at the Cannes Film Festival after the post-production was completed, unfortunately, even in Europe, it didn't receive much praise. On the one hand, because of Adriaan, some European filmmakers were more resistant to American movies. On the other hand, although Europe was more open than the United States, there were still a few red lines in this regard. Even if Murgia filmed "Spring Forest" today, he would still be banned. Although Kampummel was slightly better, it was almost impossible for him to get support.
After the movie was released, the controversy suddenly became even more intense. Some religious groups even publicized that it was a crime for Dakota to act in such a scene, and even called for an investigation. Although Dakota defended her, there were still some people in Hollywood who spoke up for her. Some people thought that although the movie was terrible, her acting was still good. Unfortunately, the overall public opinion was very unfavorable to her.
No matter how open Hollywood was, the United States as a whole tended to be conservative, especially in the inland areas. It wasn't surprising that Dakota received such treatment. Later, the public opinion began to attack her and her family. The reporters began to write long articles about her life, digging up all the corners — as long as it was within the scope of the law — even if Dakota was angry, it wouldn't matter.
Then, she began to become afraid, especially when some advertising contracts were canceled due to the pressure of conservative social groups. Some roles were also found by others. She had no choice but to come here alone to ask for help.
Unfortunately, Adriaan didn't have such plans. He knew that Dakota had taken the role immediately, but he didn't care about it. It was very simple. He had already said what needed to be said. As for what to do, it was Dakota's business. He didn't need someone who didn't listen. Since she chose to act in "Hound" out of her desire for an Oscar and to reach a higher level, she naturally had to bear the consequences.
What's more, he was angry about something more important. He didn't want to spend too much energy on someone who didn't listen. So, seeing that the girl refused to give up, he said directly, "If you do something wrong, you have to bear the responsibility, Hannah. Some things can only be done wrong once. Go back, your performance has already said everything."
"No!" Dakota revealed a look of despair. She knew very well what would happen to her if she didn't have the support of this media mogul, not to mention that she was now in trouble.
So, the girl stood up without hesitation, bit her lip, and pleaded with a trembling voice, "Please, Mr. Kewell, please don't give up on me. Please give me another chance. I … I won't make any more mistakes. I can do anything for you … I can do anything for you! Even … now … "
Dakota's face turned red, but she still puffed out her small chest. Today, she was wearing a loose dark green plaid dress with a milky white undershirt. She also had white socks that reached her calves and black leather shoes. Coupled with her rapid breathing, she was full of youthful temptation. Looking at her determined look, it was obvious that she had made up her mind before coming.
Unfortunately, it was a move that should be very useful to Adriaan, but at this moment, it was ineffective.
"Go back," Adriaan said as he looked up at her.
The girl opened her mouth in disbelief. How could this be?! But she still didn't give up. After her expression changed several times, she clenched her teeth and looked even more determined.
"You know, Mr. Kewell." Her voice was very soft and a little strange at the same time, as if she had let go of everything. "I have a younger sister, Ellie. She's … a very cute girl. She also … really wants to be an actress. As long as … as long as you need … I can give her to you …"
After saying this, her originally red face suddenly turned a little pale. Her body also slightly swayed as if she could collapse at any time. Even so, Dakota still stood there, widened her eyes and clenched her teeth as she looked at Adriaan.
Finally, he raised his head and looked at her eyes that flashed with an inexplicable light. After a long time, when Dakota felt that she was about to collapse, he finally said, "Do you see the round table over there? Go over there with your back facing me. Spread your legs, lift up your skirt, and then take off your underwear. "
A trace of ecstasy flashed across Dakota's face. Even though her body was trembling violently, she still walked over and climbed down with her back facing Adriaan. She lifted up her skirt and took off her underwear. Soon, a pair of hands held her slender waist. Under the rhythmic rubbing, the girl almost fell to the ground, but she finally stood steadily until a huge pain suddenly came from below.
"Ah!" Dakota cried out in pain, but she immediately bit her lips to prevent herself from making a sound. But the man behind her didn't want that.
"Scream!" He said coldly.
Soon after, the girl let go of everything and moaned, screamed, and cried as he charged at her. However, even though her tears kept flowing, and even though the terrible pain almost made her faint several times, there was a smile on her face, a smile of relief.
