Like all talk shows, the background was set to the night view of the city outside the glass window. There were two sofas and a table in the middle, and the host sat behind the table. Then, amidst the music, the guest walked out from the back, and the audience suddenly cheered. The guest smiled and waved as he sat on the sofa.
"Welcome to our miracle director, Adrian Kewell," said the host, Jimmy Kimmel, as he applauded.
"Sorry, Jimmy, what did you just say? Miracle Director? "Adriaan, who was dressed casually, looked at the host in surprise.
"Of course, do you want to deny it?" Jimmy looked at him with a smile. "Three movies in a year, and the leading actor and actress of two movies were nominated for Best Actor and Actress at the Oscars. At the same time, you were nominated for Best Director with two movies, not to mention other nominations. I think this title is perfect for you."
"Well, to be honest, I'm flattered by this title." Adriaan rubbed his nose. This action made him look a little shy, like a kid who had just graduated from the Ivy League. In an instant, he closed the distance between the audience.
"I'm very happy that everyone likes these three movies. In fact, even I didn't expect these three movies to be so popular with Film School. In a sense, this should be luck. I don't dare to say that I can create such a … miracle again, but I will try my best to make beautiful movies, "he continued, looking sincere and humble, and immediately won a lot of applause.
"To be honest, I don't think you need to be so humble, Adriaan. After all, you are not 26 years old yet. How many directors have achieved what you have when they were younger than 26 years old?" Jimmy sighed exaggeratedly. "Do you know what I was doing when I was 26 years old? I did nothing all day, and I didn't know what my goal was. Think about it, those bookmakers even offered a 1: 2000 payout because of you, so you should be proud. "
"You mean, you are only 26 years old this year. Is that right, Jimmy?" Adriaan looked up and down at the host, then asked in a teasing tone, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
After Jimmy raised his hands, he suddenly sat up straight, raised his chin slightly, crossed his legs, and put his hands on them. His originally modest temperament suddenly became arrogant. After glancing at the audience, he said loudly, "Well, I'm starting to be proud now. Can anyone do better than me?!"
After about five seconds of silence, the audience burst into laughter, accompanied by screams and applause. The enthusiastic atmosphere even infected the audience in front of the TV.
In the following conversation, Adri fully displayed everything about himself in front of the camera. Compared to his first appearance on a talk show, he corresponded more appropriately and skillfully. At times, he was modest and cautious, at times, he was serious and sincere, and at times, he was young and frivolous. Furthermore, he had a good grasp of the scale, making it hard for people to understand him, but at the same time, it attracted more attention.
"I have to say, Adrian, you are a gentleman. No wonder so many people want to work with you." No wonder so many people want to work with you, "Jimmy lamented midway. The reason why he said that was because of something that had happened before.
Talk shows always had a segment like a phone call. This time, after the call went through, the person who claimed to be Adriaan's fans scolded him, saying that it was a complete mistake for him to produce Howard Manor, and he wanted everyone to pay for his mistake.
Everyone thought that Adriaan would retaliate without holding back. His conversation with Jimmy had proven his eloquence, and everyone knew that Howard Manor had received unanimous praise. The fans on the other end of the phone were more venting than commenting. No one would want to listen to such inexplicable criticism.
However, surprisingly, Adriaan listened patiently and did not refute. He only spoke after the other party finished venting. First of all, he admitted that Howard Manor was a niche movie, but at the same time, he pointed out that people who liked it loved it, and people who hated it hated it even more, so it was normal for the fans on the other end of the phone to feel this way.
"Every director will try to make a movie that they want to make, and I'm no exception. So, Harris, I'm sorry that you said that" Howard Manor "was a mistake. Of course, I understand how you feel, and I can feel your love and love for me. It is because of you that I can tell the story better, "Adriaan said into the phone.
He spoke very seriously and sincerely, so after he finished speaking, there was a round of applause, including from Jimmy. Harris on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then he apologized on the phone. Such an outstanding performance greatly increased Adriaan's reputation in the hearts of the audience.
"Even I thought you would reprimand him, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. You really know how to seize the opportunity, Eide." In the slightly dimly lit bedroom, Monica, who was lying in Adriaan's arms in silk pajamas, looked at the TV. The talk show was playing on the screen, of course, it was a repeat.
"If it was somewhere else, I wouldn't mind mocking him, but you have to understand, Monica, there were a lot of people watching at that time, and you have to pay attention to the occasion." Adriaan, who was leaning against the headboard, chuckled. His right hand reached into Monica's collar, and it was obvious what he was doing from the shaking of her chest.
"Their ratings that night increased by 5%, Monica. You can imagine how popular they are. If I'm wrong, it will be very bad," Adriaan continued.
"I know, and I'm trying my best to do that." Monica turned her body slightly and adjusted her posture so that Adriaan could play with her better. "Maybe I should learn more."
"No, no, no. You did very well, Monica." Adriaan pointed to the TV, "Look, you're on stage. Although you didn't have many highlights that night, you didn't make any mistakes. You just have to maintain your performance."
On the screen, Monica, who was dressed sexily, was walking out from the back of the studio. Her appearance immediately caused a burst of screams. Of course, a talk show would always have a mystery guest as a gimmick, and this time, the gimmick was Monica. Although it was Adriaan's request, Monica had won a lot of popularity because of Pulp Fiction, and many tabloids had reported her and Adriaan's scandal, so the TV station didn't reject her request.
"Tell me, Monica, how did you get to know Adriaan?" the host, Jimmy, asked.
"My agent told me that there was a low-budget movie that was casting. Although the director was a newcomer, he was very good. At that time, I had the opportunity to audition for another big-budget movie, but after thinking about it, I finally chose Pulp Fiction." Monica said with a smile. Even though the TV screen wasn't big, her seductive aura could still be felt.
"Can you tell me the name of that big-budget movie?" Jimmy asked with interest.
"Hmm … director Coppola's' Four Hundred Years of Passion ', a female vampire character." Monica shrugged her shoulders elegantly, and the audience gasped in surprise.
"I didn't know that you had the opportunity to audition for '400 Years of Horror.' If you had changed your mind, you wouldn't be lying in my arms now," Adriaan suddenly said with a sigh.
"Sometimes, you can't predict what the choices you make will bring about." Monica raised her head and stared at Adriaan for a few minutes. She straightened her body and kissed his mouth. As their tongues intertwined, her left hand slid down through the pajamas, from his neck to his chest, to his lower abdomen, and finally between his legs.
Soon, she felt the heat and swelling in her hand. Monica left his mouth and kissed his chest. After unbuttoning Adriaan's pajamas, she kissed all the way down to the bottom. Although Monica's breasts touched her face when she pulled the pajamas open, she didn't even think about it and buried her head in it. At the same time, she raised her seductive buttocks high. She knew that Adriaan liked it when she did this in bed.
Monica never thought that she would be so infatuated with someone, and this person was a few years younger than her. Well, infatuated might not be the right word, but she really couldn't bear to leave Adriaan.
Once you had a taste of something, you didn't want to lose it again. The popularity that "Pulp Fiction" brought her was several times more than the past few years combined. The feeling of being the center of attention, flattering, and praising made Monica extremely infatuated. Many entertainment magazines called her the sexiest woman in 1992. Especially when she returned to Italy to participate in a business event, the people who surrounded her greatly satisfied her vanity.
But Monica also knew who gave her all this. However, if it were any other director or producer, they could break up after a few dates. After all, the situation had already been opened. But Adriaan was different. Although she had only been by his side for more than a year, she had seen how he had achieved what he had today.
Others might think that the title of Miracle Director was just a gimmick, but Monica roughly knew how this man controlled everything in an orderly manner. She completely believed that if he wanted to make her famous, he would definitely be able to do it. The script of "Delicious" and the nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globe Awards had explained everything.
Besides, Adriaan was indeed attractive to her. Sometimes, he was very evil and mysterious. When they were filming "Pulp Fiction", he had seduced her with two or three words and got her into bed. Sometimes, he was very gentle and good at coaxing women. He always knew what she needed and could give her a sense of security.
As time passed, Monica became addicted to it, so she was willing to be his lover even though she knew that he had a girlfriend. That was why she used her own way to please him after she knew that Kate had broken up with him. It seemed very cheap, but so what?
Adriaan suddenly took a deep breath and tightened his grip on Monica's head. Monica's head immediately moved up and down violently, and finally she buried it deeply. Adrian took another deep breath and his body trembled slightly. He only stopped after a long while. After a while, Monica's throat stopped moving, then she raised her head.
