Chapter 429

Although the British media had continued to talk about Howard Manor in the past two months, it was no longer as grand as before. This could be seen from the fact that the position of the comments had gradually changed from the front page to the second and third page. After all, it was meaningless if no one refuted the provocation. No matter how they questioned it, Adriaan's only response was, "Please wait for the movie to be released before making a fair evaluation."

Hence, the popularity of the movie had subsided. The only reason there was still a certain amount of attention was because of the interesting performance of Pulp Fiction. The British and American theaters had been released almost at the same time. So far, it had earned more than 20 million pounds at the box office in the United Kingdom. At the same time, it had gained a lot of fanatical fans.

In North America, because of the long run, it was still showing in six to seven hundred theaters, even though it had been in theaters for 16 weeks. After the eighth week, the number of theaters continued to decline. At its lowest point, there were only 300 theaters showing the movie, but the box office was still rising slowly. It was about two million a week. There was basically no lack of people watching it. When the off-season came, the number of theaters slowly increased, but the box office was still about two million a week. It was so stable that people couldn't help but sigh for the movie.

"I've watched it seven or eight times. I love everything about this movie!" A fan who deliberately imitated the retro style of the movie characters said excitedly in an interview.

There were many fans like this. They were obsessed with the various details of Pulp Fiction, such as the retro style of dressing, the retro music, and so on. Interestingly, they were also the staunchest opponents of Adrian's decision to film "Howard Manor." They felt that he should continue filming movies like "Pulp Fiction," instead of making some literary and artistic movie. What's more, it was a Victorian-style "Howard Manor."

Of course, Adriaan didn't know about this. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. So, he had been working on the post-production of Howard Manor in his London studio. At the same time …

"Continue! Oh, don't stop, continue! " Hurried and excited shouts echoed in the room, accompanied by the creaking of the chair. In the same editing room, on the same recliner, the same man, but not the same woman.

Monica swung her long hair wildly. Her upper body was naked, and she bit her lips tightly. Her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and her pair of coveted breasts were jumping up and down violently. It could be seen how strong the two of them were.

Compared to Kate's young body, the mature and sexy Monica was a completely different kind of enjoyment. She was more seductive, more slutty, and more ecstatic, especially after Adriaan's training.

As the creaking sound grew louder and louder, the chair seemed to collapse at any moment. Adrian, who had been sitting on it, suddenly stood up with Monica in his arms. Monica also wrapped herself around him like an octopus, and then a series of even more intense movements followed. Soon, a few short screams were heard, and the two immediately tightened their bodies and hugged each other tightly.

After more than ten seconds, Adriaan let out a long breath and sat back on the chair with Monica in his arms. Monica moaned softly and lay on him softly.

"Oh, Monica, you surprise me every time." After a short rest, Adriaan hugged this mature and sexy body and sighed with satisfaction. One of his hands moved up and down her smooth back.

Monica didn't answer. She was still lying on his chest, still savoring the taste of orgasm. After a long time, she raised her head, and her brown eyes were still a little confused. "Why … Why can you always make us reach this state at the same time?"

"This is where my ability lies. I can satisfy myself and my woman at the same time. That's what a man should do." Adriaan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm familiar with your body, my dear Monica. I'm familiar with your every reaction. I like to satisfy my woman."

"I think you're very narcissistic, Eide." There was a hint of ridicule in Monica's tone.

"Maybe, but I prefer to use the word 'confident'." Adriaan corrected her. Then, he lifted Monica's chin with a faint smile. "Don't you think a man who is always winning is very attractive to women?"

Monica was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she snorted softly. "Have you said this to your little girlfriend?"

"No, she is she, and you are you," Adriaan said with a smile. His finger gently moved across her sexy thick lips.

Gently biting his finger, Monica suddenly asked, "So, under the same conditions, who can do better?"

Adriaan blinked and immediately understood. The reason why he closed the door of the editing room today and had a passionate moment with Monica, who had rushed over from Italy, was mainly because he accidentally mentioned that he had done it with Kate here. Although it wasn't obvious when he said it, Monica immediately realized it, and then it became the current situation.

At first, Adriaan was a little surprised by her initiative, but the conversation just now made him understand some of Monica's thoughts. Although he felt it was funny, he didn't take it to heart. "Each has their own special characteristics. This can't be compared."

Monica snorted softly again. She straightened her body and got down from Adriaan's waist. But when she was tidying up, she still couldn't help but ask, "Is every man like this, maintaining a lover relationship with another woman while having a girlfriend?"

"My answer is that most men are like this. Even if they don't take action, they will have such thoughts." Adriaan said with a smile, and put on a bra for Monica from behind.

Although Monica, who was tidying up her clothes, had her back to him, Adriaan still guessed Monica's thoughts from her shoulders that had collapsed and risen again. He immediately put his head on her shoulder and blew into her ear. "You know, Monica, there's no point in lying about this."

Monica looked back at him and didn't speak again. Adriaan smiled and patted her butt. After looking at the time, he said, "It's almost time to get off work. Why don't we go to Regent Street or Oxford Street later? Anyway, the rest of the time is ours. "

Although the holidays of American universities were long, they would eventually end. So after mid-September, Kate had to go back to school. There was one less person by his side, and Adriaan had always been in contact with Monica. She happened to be in Italy, so how could he not call her over?

As for Emma, her aunt knew about the trouble between Adriaan and Kate, so she simply reduced the number of times she came to see Adriaan. She couldn't even throw a tantrum at home, so he didn't have to worry about her seeing them being intimate.

Days with a beautiful woman were always pleasant. Time passed until early October. Ghost Pony had already been released in North America, and because of its outstanding performance, it had swept away 120 million dollars in the box office. Although it hadn't finished screening in some overseas regions, it was estimated that the number would not be much lower than that.

Meanwhile, Pulp Fiction was still making two to three million dollars a week, slowly approaching the 100 million mark. Interestingly, at the end of the 18th week, it actually re-entered the top ten of the North American box office rankings with 2.8 million dollars. Although there weren't any particularly attractive productions during the off-season, the situation was still surprising.

"Adriaan is indeed worthy of the title of 'Genius Director.' He must have used some kind of magic to make this R-rated movie so tenacious," a media outlet wrote in its review.

But the most surprising thing wasn't this. The most eye-catching thing in the entire October was a clip of a movie that was broadcast on major TV stations. A blind man, under the guidance of a young man, held the hand of a young woman to the dance floor. Then, they tango to the melody of Carlos Gardel's most famous work, "One Step Away."

Although it was only a short two minutes, and although there were only a few lines of dialogue, the tango was so flamboyant and passionate that people couldn't take their eyes off it. In particular, Al Pacino, who played the blind man — yes, that's right, the Al Pacino that everyone knew — displayed an imposing manner. Many fans were suddenly filled with praise.

After the initial shock, the quick-witted reporters immediately realized something. Moreover, there was also the phrase "stay tuned" at the end of the broadcast. Suddenly, people began to talk about it, wanting to know what was going on. A New York Times columnist wrote, "After being shelved for more than half a year, Adriaan's fourth film has finally revealed the tip of the iceberg. Does this mean that this film, which has caused so much discussion, is finally going to be released to the public? What is Adriaan planning? Does he think that it's already been edited and can be released? Or does he want to promote 'Howard Manor'? "

This was a fair statement. A film critic who had once mocked Adriaan simply described it as "wishful thinking."

"Just based on the clip itself, it is indeed very attractive. A beautiful girl, beautiful music, the blind but flamboyant Al Pacino, and the passionate tango. However, whether a film is good or not is not determined by a clip. In my opinion, for Adriaan to release this long-shelved film at this time, he either hopes to win some good reviews, or because 'Howard Manor' has encountered a more serious problem than this film, so he has no choice but to release this film to divert attention. Frankly speaking, I think the latter is much more likely. "That was his comment.

Because of what happened two months ago, the British media had been paying attention to Adriaan. Of course, they also knew about his fourth film. After hearing this news, it was as if they had found a treasure. Not only did they bring up "Howard Manor" to talk about it, but they also began to circle around the studio, hoping to get first-hand information.
