Chapter 611

Adriaan was surprised by Naomi's reaction. He thought it would take some time, but it seemed that the conversation that night had yielded more results than he had expected. This made Adriaan even happier and more excited. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. It would be more effective next time. If everything went well, he thought about the plot of Mulholland's Lane. It seemed that some things could be brought forward.

Frankly speaking, he wanted to say yes to Naomi, if it wasn't for the fact that there was a cocktail party that night. The cocktail party was hosted by Gwyneth at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. As for the reason, needless to say, such cocktail parties were everywhere in the month before the award ceremony.

"I'm so glad you can come, dear Godfather." Gwyneth smiled and hugged Spielberg. "You're in good spirits."

"You too, Gwyneth. Although I've said it many times before, I still have to congratulate you on being nominated for Best Actress." Although Spielberg said it with a smile, he shifted his gaze to Adriaan, who was next to her, and then to Blanchett, who was talking to others not far away. Although he withdrew his gaze as soon as it came into contact, he didn't hide anything from them.

Blanchett's appearance at Gwyneth's cocktail party surprised many people. Both of them were known as the Miracle Girls, and it went without saying what it meant. However, when they appeared together in public, and Adriaan was there, they were as intimate as sisters. How could they not be stunned?

Last year in London, Adrienne made two movies with them as the female leads, but standing together like best friends without any barriers was a bit too exaggerated, wasn't it? Especially looking at them, it seemed that they didn't have a one-night stand with Adriaan, which was even more unbelievable.

However, no matter how unbelievable it was, it couldn't overpower the fact that it was right in front of their eyes. Therefore, many of them could only praise Adrian's ability in private. He was able to have multiple girlfriends at the same time. Some of them even speculated maliciously that Adrian was with them every day. It had to be said that their speculation was quite close to the reality. Although it wasn't every day, it was always like this when they were together.

"It's a pity that you didn't get a single nomination this year. I heard that Warner was going to get nominated for 'Wide-Eyed, Alert'." After greeting his goddaughter, Spielberg chatted with Adriaan.

"I declined. You know, Film school won't like this style of movie. Those party scenes alone are enough to make them hate it. Even if I agreed, I wouldn't get nominated. Not to mention, the R-grade label is still being criticized. " Adriaan shrugged disapprovingly. "Besides, you didn't get nominated, Steven.

"I'm different from you. You're the Miracle Director." Spielberg laughed. Adriaan shrugged again and changed the topic. "By the way, I heard that 'Jurassic Park 2' won't be released until the end of the year?"

"If the post-production isn't good, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next year." Spielberg didn't hide it. "Technology has advanced a lot. I hope to make dinosaurs better."

"What a pity." Adriaan said regretfully, "I have a sci-fi movie ready to be released during the summer. I thought it could compete with 'Jurassic Park 2'."

"The one about virtual space?" Spielberg raised his eyebrows. "It's a pity. Don't think that you can beat me just because you're the Miracle Director."

"Damn, do you have to call me that, Steven?" Adriaan looked very unhappy. Spielberg laughed again, then glanced at Gwyneth. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he just patted him on the shoulder and left.

After watching him walk away to talk to other guests, Adriaan turned his head and said, "You and Kate gave me big trouble, Gwyneth."

"Really?" Gwyneth blinked innocently. "You mean I invited Godfather? Or did I not inform you before holding such a banquet? Or did I invite a lot of guests … "

After asking a lot of questions, she asked with a sly smile, "Or … did you invite Kate?"

"You guys are getting bolder." After looking at her for a while, Adriaan sighed and shook his head. "Your father doesn't look too good."

His daughter held a banquet to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress. How could her father not come? But when he saw Blanchett, who was like a sister to Gwyneth, he couldn't help but change his expression. How could he not think of what others thought of? It was already good enough that he didn't leave.

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything to Dad." Gwyneth waved her hand indifferently, and then her eyes twinkled. "And, as long as you want, I have a better way to appease him."

"Don't be so anxious, Gwyneth. There will be plenty of opportunities." How could Adriaan not know what she was thinking? He pushed her back.

Gwyneth immediately snorted and left angrily. Adriaan shook his head with a smile. He didn't take her temper to heart. Instead, he turned to look at Blanchett. Not only did Bruce Paltrow talk to his daughter, but he also talked to Blanchett. Although Blanchett didn't reveal to Adriaan what he said, and her expression didn't change, it probably wasn't anything good.

In fact, he didn't need to take it to heart either. This was a consensual thing. How could Old Paltrow criticize his daughter's matters? Moreover, because of Adriaan, not only did Gwyneth advance year by year, but she also played the female lead in a super production that created a miracle in the global box office. She also received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. She was already a solid A-list actress. Although Gwyneth respected her father, she didn't necessarily listen to him.

As for the relationship between the two women … After Adriaan found out about it in London, the two women almost flew off together. At least when he wasn't around, Gwyneth and Blanchett had a lot of fun.

What happened at night also proved this point.

"Your father said that no matter what my motive is, if I dare to hurt you, he will make me pay. Am I that kind of person?!"

"Your father said that no matter what my relationship with Eide is, I should behave myself. Doesn't he know that you are the same kind of person?!"

"Your father said that he hates me. If I go to your house as a guest, he won't welcome me. He's not a gentleman at all!"

With every sentence, Blanchett would slap Gwyneth's perky buttocks. Gwyneth's upper body was lying on the bed, and her buttocks were raised high. She hummed under Blanchett's slap.

Both of them were completely naked, and their skin was faintly flushed. Especially Blanchett, who was kneeling behind Blanchett. Her grayish-blue eyes were filled with endless confusion and desire. She was unusually excited. Every slap brought her unparalleled pleasure. Although Gwyneth's expression couldn't be seen, it wasn't much different from Blanchett's.

"You're really impressive, Kate," Adriaan, who was behind Blanchett, whispered as he kissed her neck.

"I'm going to teach her a lesson. If her father dares to say such things again, I'm going to get justice from her." While panting, Blanchett immediately hooked her arms around Adriaan's neck and turned her head to kiss him passionately. Her lower body began to move faster, and Gwyneth's moans became much louder.

Bruce Paltrow might think so, but he would never say it out loud. Otherwise, it would be rather rude. Even if he wanted to say it, he would find a private place, and not at a cocktail party. Hence, Blanchett was just making a fuss. Adriaan didn't expose Blanchett. After Blanchett stopped, he started to play with her tongue and began to slap Gwyneth's perky buttocks. This was the fun between the sheets.

It's really satisfying to be able to train them step by step into this state. With this thought in mind, Adriaan suddenly pushed Blanchett onto Gwyneth's back. He also increased the strength and frequency of his lower body. Suddenly, a burst of sweet moans began to ring one after another.

Let's not talk about this anymore. The next day, Adriaan's office welcomed a guest. It was an acquaintance he met at Gwyneth's cocktail party.

"I didn't expect you to have an outline. Why are you acting so surprised? Are you trying to make fun of me?" Closing the folder in his hand, Adriaan jokingly asked the woman behind the desk.

Her facial features were somewhat androgynous, but her long black hair set off the gentleness that a woman should have. Combined with this, she had a unique intellectual temperament.

"No, it's exactly because of this that I was surprised at that time. What you said … was exactly what I thought." The other party looked at him in a slight daze.

"That's a flattering compliment, but it's easy to hear something else." Adriaan continued to joke.

Seeing that the other party coughed and lowered her head, he then said, "So, why are you looking for me, Sofia?"

Sofia Coppola, the daughter of Francis Coppola. This was the acquaintance Adriaan met at the cocktail party hosted by Gwyneth. Although they had met a few times before, they did not have much contact with each other. However, Adrian had left a deep impression on Sophia. He had pointed out that Sophia did not have any talent in acting without any reservations, yet he had suggested that she take another path. Furthermore, he had repeatedly emphasized that, coupled with his famous foresight, anyone else would have done the same.

"I've made up my mind. I'm preparing to direct my first movie," Sophia said after they met and chatted at the cocktail party last night.

"Congratulations, you've chosen the right path." Adrian immediately replied. He had suggested the same thing to Sophia when they first met. He had also suggested the same thing to her when Luke was working on "Star Wars Episode I". He still hadn't changed his opinion.

A strange look flashed in Sofia's eyes. "So, do you have any good suggestions, Eide? I'm talking about the theme. "

"Do I have to answer?" Adriaan asked with a chuckle.

"Anyway, you've said this more than once, so it's not a big deal to give me further suggestions," she said plausibly.

"I see …" Adriaan didn't think too much about it. "First of all, the cost has to be low. Don't be delusional about having too much money. Then, find something in your life that you're familiar with, that you often see, and that you've personally experienced."

"And then?" Sofia asked leisurely. It was obvious that she had already considered all of this.

"For example, a theme related to women." Adriaan smiled. "Most female directors are very meticulous and good at paying attention to all kinds of things from a woman's point of view, but most of them focus on the relationship between men and women. You can choose a new focus — how about the relationship between daughters and their parents and families? "

"Oh?" Sofia was finally moved.

"I've said so much. Shouldn't you tell me about your idea? That way, I'll be able to analyze it better, "Adrian said.

"Well, I do have an idea. It's about a family in the Midwest in the 1970s. It's about the relationship between a few daughters and their religious parents." Sofia admitted readily. "They're very young. Some are quiet, some are lively, and they're all very cute. But these are all superficial appearances. People don't understand them, or rather, the real thoughts of these young girls."

"So they're very distressed, right?" Adriaan immediately took over the topic. "I don't recommend you to describe the girls' distress in detail. That's too simple. There are many similar themes. At this time, you need to win by surprise."

After a pause, he continued, "You don't even need to describe their distress. Instead, show them their lives, and finally give them a shocking ending, such as suicide! Think about it. A few lovely girls who just grew up and were about to enjoy a wonderful life committed suicide one after another. What a sensational and terrible thing! Why did they do that? What kind of difficulties did they encounter? Why couldn't they ask their parents or teachers for help? This series of questions popped up. Thinking back to the various descriptions of their lives, the answer — which is the theme of the whole story — surfaced. No one knows what these young girls are thinking. No one really understands them! "

At first, Sofia just opened her mouth slightly. The more she listened, the wider her jaw dropped. Especially when she heard the option of "suicide," she couldn't help but show a surprised look.

"Is there a problem?" After noticing her strangeness, Adriaan immediately asked.

"No … nothing … it's just … I want to say … I'm really … surprised …" Sofia covered her forehead and didn't know what to say.

"What I want to say is, Sofia, what I said is just a suggestion. Only you know what kind of movie you want to make. If you don't even know yourself, then it's better to let go. So, you can listen to these opinions, but don't let them affect you. "Adriaan said patiently.

"Yes, I know. I'm just … a little surprised …" Sofia said the word "surprised" again, but she quickly controlled her emotions. "Thank you for your advice, Eide. Can I talk to you tomorrow?"

Her eyes twinkled as she looked at Adriaan curiously, as if she knew him for the first time.

"No problem. You have my office phone number, right?" Adriaan said without hesitation.

Since it was determined, Sofia didn't say anything more. She looked at him deeply and then left. After that, it was now.

"Now that you have read the outline, what I want to ask is, are you willing to invest in this movie, Eide?" Sofia hesitated before looking up and asking.

Adriaan raised his eyebrows in surprise. "I think Franck will be very willing to invest in this movie."

"That's my father." Sofia quickly interrupted, then paused for a few seconds before saying, "You should know, I don't want …"

She smiled bitterly, made a gesture, and didn't say anything more. Her tone was depressed and helpless.

"Indeed, every young person will have such thoughts." Adriaan comforted her and then smiled again. "Okay, I'll invest."

"Really?" Sofia looked at him in disbelief. She obviously didn't expect it to be so easy.

"You know, my judgment has always been very accurate." Adriaan smiled slightly. "I said that being a director is more suitable for you than an actor. Moreover, last night …"

Although he didn't finish his words, the meaning was clear enough. Sofia couldn't help but cough again. She took a deep breath and looked at him again. "I will finish the script as soon as possible."

Then she stood up and said, "That's it. I'll go back first."

"I'll wait for your good news." Adriaan also stood up, but he just watched her leave. The hurried back made him feel as if he was fleeing.

A trace of pride flashed across his mouth. This was the benefit of being able to predict the future. The script that Sofia Coppola talked about was her famous work as a director: Death of a Virgin. It was a story about the suicide of five daughters in a religious family for 70 years. Like all female directors, it was very delicate and sensitive. Coupled with the appropriate theme, it received considerable praise and allowed Sofia to take a solid step forward as a director.

Because of this, Adriaan, who had expected it, surprised her with just a few words at the cocktail party. Just like how he said that she was more suitable to be a director than an actress, it didn't matter even if Sofia chose another theme because of the butterfly effect. Since she used this idea in his memory, it must resonate with her, right?

It turned out that his approach was correct. Although it was a bit surprising that Sofia asked him to invest, it was just a bonus. To be honest, Adriaan's impression of Sofia Coppola was only good, although she had some temperament. The reason why he did this was … because it was interesting. Yes, it was interesting. This reason was enough.

Of course, no matter what, there was still a long way to go, so he quickly turned his attention elsewhere, such as asking about the votes, paying attention to the situation in Southeast Asia, inquiring about some upcoming programs, arranging some movies for his woman, and dating that was close at hand.
