Chapter 386

"I didn't expect to see you here, Drew. You look even more charming." Adriaan turned his head to look at the charming young woman in front of him and said with a smile.

Tonight, Drew Barrymore was wearing a black strapless dress and a pair of stilettos of the same color, which accentuated her enchanting figure perfectly. Her wavy blonde hair was slightly scattered, which made her look exceptionally sexy.

"Really? But they all say I've gained weight. "Drew giggled, and her slightly parted red lips gave off a seductive feeling.

"Plump is plump and beautiful, as long as you can control the degree." Adriaan waved his hand. "I heard that some models are willing to be as thin as a bamboo pole for the sake of their figure. That's terrible. Anything over the degree will be terrible."

As he spoke, his eyes were unscrupulously sizing her up. Although they had only had a passionate encounter at the celebration party, that feeling was very memorable.

Facing Adriaan's gaze, Drew did not avoid it. Instead, she puffed out her chest, and the smile on her baby face became more and more charming. "Indeed. That's why I've never cared about losing weight."

"There's also a degree. Being too plump will also make you look ugly." Adriaan's tone carried a hint of ridicule.

"How disappointing. Can't you continue to say something nice?" Drew combed her hair, sighed, and came to the right of Adriaan. "But maybe you can write a good story based on this theme?"

Adriaan could not help but raise his eyebrows. How could he not understand Drew's meaning? Although the "Gamblers" that he had prepared for her did not achieve much box office after its release, because the cost was not high, it more or less made a little profit. However, it was quite well received by the critics. Many people thought that it was her best work since the end of the 1980s. For Drew, who was eager to get rid of the negative image, receiving such a rating was far more practical than obtaining a high box office.

"Who knows? Maybe it was a sudden flash of inspiration, and then I had an idea. " Adrian stared at her face and said with a smile. He didn't mind having another round of passionate collisions with her.

But then another familiar voice interrupted, "Hey, Eide, so you're here."

Monica, who was wearing a deep blue V-neck dress, appeared in front of him. The bottom of the V-neck almost reached her lower abdomen, and more than half of her perky breasts were exposed. She didn't have any nipple patches on, and 90% of her smooth back was exposed, and her cleavage could almost be seen. In addition, her long hair hung down softly, and her thick lips seemed to open but not open. That kind of mature, sexy, and enchanting style immediately made Drew look inferior.

"I just had a chat with James, and then I met Miss Barrymore." Adriaan first introduced Drew to Monica, but before he could introduce Monica, Drew had already extended his hand to her, "No need for introductions, I know who she is. Miss Monica Bellucci, your muse, right, Eide?"

"Nice to meet you, Miss Barrymore." Monica said calmly, but she slightly raised her chin, "I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Of course not, I was just chatting with Eide about some very ordinary things." A hint of disapproval flashed in Drew's eyes, "I think you must have a lot to talk about, so I'll leave all the time to you!"

With that, she smiled and took a deep look at Adriaan, then turned and left without any hesitation. Looking at her swaying back as she left, Adriaan could not help but admire her in his heart.

"You two seem to have a good relationship?" Monica spoke again. Although her face was calm, the jealousy in her tone could not escape Adriaan's ears.

"Yeah, I invited her to act in a movie." Adriaan looked at Monica with a faint smile.

"I see!" Monica snorted softly, as if she had not realized that her tone was very different from usual.

"That's strange, why do I feel that you're a little different?" Adriaan looked at her with a faint smile and said. After looking around, he stuck to Monica's side, reached his hand around her back, and reached into the gap of her dress.

Monica suddenly took a deep breath and glared at Adriaan, but did not say anything. Fortunately, Adriaan quickly retracted his hand, but his faint smile really made her not know how to react.

It took about a few minutes for Monica to calm down. After flipping her hair, she looked at Adriaan with seductive eyes, "Do you have any plans after the premiere, Eide?"

"Of course, I have to rush back to the villa." Adriaan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Monica could not help but be slightly absent-minded. Of course, she knew what he was talking about.

"Am I just your mistress?" she suddenly asked.

"I think it's better to use the word lover." Although they were in the corner, although he had slightly violated Monica, Adriaan did not do anything else. He just looked at her seriously, "Don't tell me that you have never felt it?"

Monica opened her mouth, but no words came out. Adriaan then took her arm with a smile, "Well, the movie is about to start. Let's go to the theater. I really want to see your dance on the big screen again."

There was no need to describe the audience's reaction at the premiere. When "Pulp Fiction" was screened in Cannes, it attracted a lot of applause. How could it be an exception here? However, the subsequent press conference was very interesting. After interrogating the actors, the reporters all aimed their spears at Adriaan, who had disappeared for a period of time.

"This strong cult style film made you the youngest Palme d 'Or winner. Do you think this is good or bad for your career, Mr. Adriaan?"

"Will you continue to produce this style of film in the future? Or do you have other plans? "

"What do you think of cult-style movies and artsy movies?"

"Will we have a chance to see your other films in the future?"

Almost all the questions revolved around the style of "Pulp Fiction" and the previous movie that had been shelved. This was a good topic to attract people's attention. People wanted to know what kind of artsy movie this director, who was known for his cult style, would be like. These guys were different from the paparazzi. They were very skillful in asking questions. They knew what they were asking, but they had to answer them, unless they said, "No comment."

But Adriaan did not take it to heart. Since he had chosen to return to Los Angeles to attend the premiere, he had to be prepared. Although the controversy caused in March had won a lot of attention for "How to Know a Woman by Scent," there were still a few months before it was released. Since "Pulp Fiction" could not be ignored after winning the Palme d 'Or, he could only use the tactic of diverting people's attention. Anyway, a proper debate would only be beneficial, especially when he knew the result.

"To be honest, I'm still surprised that 'Pulp Fiction' won the Palme d 'Or. I'm flattered that the critics gave this film so many praises. In my opinion, this is just a very interesting and fun black film. I pieced together a lot of bits and pieces, borrowed from many movies, and put them together into a complete circular jigsaw puzzle with obvious cracks. That's all. I'm very happy that I chose John, Samuel, Bruce, Denis, and Monica to star in this film. They completely fit the image in my mind, and they performed perfectly. As for the future, of course, I will make changes. I still have a lot of ideas and ideas, and I will never limit myself to a very small scope. I'm not afraid of failure, and I don't think I will fail. I know you have always been curious about my fourth film. I can tell you clearly that you will see this film released within this year. Also, my new film is about to start filming. This will be a completely artistic film. You can all wait and see. "

This was Adriaan's last speech at the press conference. Although most of the things he said had been said many times, the last two sentences attracted a lot of attention from the reporters. Unfortunately, when they wanted to ask more questions, the host came over and announced the end of the press conference. Then, Adriaan quickly left the theater, so they couldn't pursue him even if they wanted to.

However, the reporters weren't helpless. They quickly turned their attention to the people who hadn't left. Although the celebrities didn't necessarily know that much, they would always hear some rumors. Besides, there were people from Bosworth Pictures. Besides, it didn't matter even if there was no more news. Don't forget what they were doing. Although the big newspapers had their own rules, it didn't mean that they wouldn't do their best. Adriaan's last few sentences were enough.

"Pulp Fiction" was released in early June 1992, and by the end of its first week, it had earned more than 12 million in North America. The total box office for the first week was more than 18 million, but there were only 1,000 theaters that released it. For an R-rated film, this was quite a good result.

The critics also gave it good reviews, just like when it was released in Cannes.

"An excellent black humor film. Adriaan handled the disturbing scenes well, making them more comical and ridiculous. It also added a lot to the film." — The Hollywood Reporter

"The circular narrative structure is amazing, and the omnipresent details and tributes make people unable to turn their eyes away. Adriaan has a mind full of wonderful ideas." — Variety

"If I were a judge at Cannes, I would also vote for this film. 'Pulp Fiction' is really vulgar, but at the same time, it's also very good." — The Washington Post

Although some people said that the plot was too messy, and the audience didn't know what to make of it, it was the same as in Cannes. However, compared to the critics, the entertainment reporters were much sharper. Of course, their sharpness wasn't directed at "Pulp Fiction." Their sharpness was directed at —
