Chapter 682

The movie had an inexplicable atmosphere from the very beginning, especially the dazzling opening, which caused the originally quiet hall to be filled with a low voice of discussion. Although they knew that Director Miracle's works were ever-changing, this was the first time they had seen such a clueless and somewhat inexplicable opening. How was such a joyful dance like a crime or thriller movie?

The discussion soon died down. As mentioned earlier, Director Miracle's works were ever-changing, and it was his choice to choose this way to open the movie. Soon, the movie officially began. At the beginning, Nicole's Rita Betty was forced to get into a car accident. She stumbled out of the car and down the steep slope, finally falling into the bushes outside a house.

Nicole's hair was red with a hint of gold, so it didn't match her dyed black, so Adriaan had asked the hairstylist to deepen the color of her hair and make it dark brown. This way, she achieved her goal without damaging her beauty. In addition, she had been holding back because of the divorce case and Adrian's teasing. She had a good grasp of Rita Betty's bewilderment and helplessness, which made people want to protect her. In the hall, or rather, in the last few rows, after the girl in the film fell to the ground with her arms crossed, a few clicking sounds were heard.

Although the sound was soft and short, Nicole could still hear it clearly. This was the advantage of sitting in the back, but her expression didn't change. Her eyes were still on the screen, waiting for people's comments after the movie ended. Even so, she still glanced at Adriaan from the corner of her eye, who was also sitting upright and looking at the screen.

She couldn't help but think of what had happened in the afternoon. At that time, she only said that because she didn't want to be at a disadvantage, but she regretted it as soon as she said it. With Adriaan's character, how could he not pose for her to blow on him? So, should she blow on him or not? Unexpectedly, the other party didn't mention it again after smiling, which made her feel like she had punched empty air.

Despicable guy. Although she had criticized him many times, it was always accompanied by a sigh after each time. She couldn't see through this man. Just when she thought she had calculated what the other party would do next, the other party's actions always exceeded her expectations. For a woman like Nicole, especially after nearly ten years of marriage, she hated this feeling very much. At the same time, she also felt that it was dangerous.

Wait and see, there's no need to be so anxious. Nicole said to herself in the end. That was the only thing she could say. She focused her attention on the screen again.

At this time, the story had been divided into two lines. One was that a gangster intervened in the production of a film company and asked a well-known director to use a certain actress as the lead in the film. The other was that Betty Diane, played by Naomi, came here from Canada, then stayed in her uncle and aunt's room and found Rita Betty, who had lost her memory after waking up and escaping to this room.

Naomi, who appeared, wore a pink silk jacket, a T-shirt, trousers that exposed her ankles, and short blonde hair that perfectly displayed her beautiful appearance. There was always a smile on her face, and her eyes sparkled. This naive image of a newcomer to Hollywood who was curious about everything complemented the golden color under the bright sun. It was very impressive.

Up to this point, the plot was still somewhat organized, although there were many inexplicable scenes interspersed in the middle. For example, a guy and his companion talked in a cafe until they were dreaming, and then they were scared unconscious by a ghost-like homeless man outside. Or a stupid killer's performance, which was supposed to be enough to kill one person, but for various strange reasons, he killed three people, and then caused a fire. This plot caused a lot of laughter.

But this kind of order soon became more and more fragmented. The mystery snowballed, but there were no clues to solve it. What kind of woman was Rita? Why did someone want to kill her? Why did she carry a huge amount of money in her bag? Why did the gangster want the girl to be the female lead in the film of the director and try to make the director yield? What was the connection between the two?

What was even more strange was that when Betty asked Rita to read the lines for her, it was supposed to be a murderous script, where the female lead threatened to kill her lover if they broke up. But why did it become a sorrowful scene between lovers during the audition? No one could understand what was going on. Then, something even more horrifying happened. Betty accompanied Rita to one of the houses that she remembered, and when she opened the window, she saw a decomposing female corpse!

There was a low gasp in the hall, and before that, someone complained in a very low voice that they didn't understand what the movie was trying to express.

Nicole shook her head and looked down. She didn't like this scene. It wasn't horrifying, but it was a little disgusting. Just then, she felt a warm touch on her thigh. A hand was placed on it through the thin gauze of her evening gown.

Needless to say, she knew who it was. Gritting her teeth in anger, Nicole squeezed her legs tightly together. But this didn't stop the other person. Soon, the hand went deep into the high slit of her evening gown, and began the most direct contact. Even though she couldn't move further because of her tightly clamped thighs, the kneading on her thighs still made her whole body numb.

Damn it, this is a theater! Nicole thought angrily. She glanced at Adrian out of the corner of her eye. He still had that serious look on his face, but there was a faint smile on his lips. This made her even more annoyed, and her hands, which were placed on the armrests, trembled slightly. But soon, she was surprised to notice one thing. Although Naomi, who was sitting on the left side of Adriaan, was also focused on the screen, the frequency of her chest rising and falling a lot faster. Looking down, she could see Adriaan's other hand moving around her thigh.

This situation made Nicole's legs loosen for no reason, and the hand that had been waiting for a long time suddenly reached inside. Even if she immediately reacted and clamped it again, the hand was already reaching that sensitive spot.

This bastard! This pervert! Her breathing quickened as she cursed in her heart. However, she vaguely realized that this scene was very similar to a certain scene in the past. That should be … last year. Yes, at the beginning of last year, during the premiere of "Eyes Wide Awake, Warning", when she was still Mrs. Cruise, in that private room, after Tom left, he also played with her in the same way in front of his secretary!

All kinds of scenes from that day suddenly poured into her mind, making her body slightly hot under the numb feeling, and her legs loosened a little, allowing his hand to go further inside. He dared to do those things to her at that time, let alone now? Although the last few rows were arranged for the crew of "Mulholland Pass", in the end, there was almost no one except the three of them.

At this time, ambiguous music came from the sound system, and the plot on the screen had already progressed to that scene, the bed scene between Naomi and Nicole. The two women were kissing and entangling with each other on the screen, smiling ambiguously as if they had never been so happy before. In Adriaan's editing, there was actually not much that was really exposed, and there was not a single important part, but it still made people feel like their blood was boiling. There was also a faint sound of inhalation in the hall.

Except for the three people involved, probably no one knew that the two women in the screen were doing it for real. Nicole's eyes began to become blurred. She could vaguely recall kissing Naomi, the feeling of rubbing and hitting her, and at the same time, some scenes also overlapped in her mind. Wasn't it the same when they were filming "Eyes Wide Shut"? Wearing a navy uniform, Adriaan pressed herself on the bed and galloped in front of the camera.

The blood had already rushed to her head, and she could feel her face burning. Nicole completely loosened her legs, then held Adriaan's hand, and pressed further inside. "Whatever you want …" The woman who was being played with let out a long breath, and at the same time, noticed that on the other side, Naomi was doing the same thing as her.

Although such an erotic and exciting thing was happening in the last row of the hall, no one noticed it. They were all thinking hard about the plot. If there were clues in the first few minutes, after the sex scene, the previous content was completely subverted. Betty became Diane, and Rita became Betty. They seemed to still be a couple. Then, the director, who was originally driven into a corner by the gangsters, became a powerful man, and got Betty. The characters that had appeared before began to appear one by one, and their positions were completely different from before.

If this was the work of some other unknown director, people might have already started cursing. However, this film was made by the miracle director, so he must have arranged some deep meaning in it. There was no way he would make a film that was illogical and make fun of everyone. Besides, when he first started directing, there were already works such as "Two Smoking Pipes" and "Pulp Fiction", so we must have missed something that we couldn't understand.

One had to admit that this was the advantage of being famous. As the saying went, the same stupid thing was done by a nobody, but when a big shot did it, it was just an anecdote. Adrian's reputation was there. Even if he really made a messy piece of trash, there would be people trying to find a reasonable explanation for it.

The plot continued to develop, and finally, there were more or less clues. The woman originally called Betty, who was now called Diane, and the woman originally called Rita, who was now called Betty, were a same-sex couple. Now that the woman called Betty was recognized by the director, she became a popular star. Naturally, Betty threw herself into the arms of the director and announced her engagement in public at the cocktail party.

The abandoned woman, who used to be called Betty and was now called Diane, cried all day long. She even cried while recalling Betty and masturbated. This scene immediately caused a lot of low laughter. For the two women who were immersed in something, this was another strong stimulation, especially Nicole. The tip of her nose was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her eyes were shining with strong desire. Biting her lip, she pressed Adriaan's hand deeper.

Later, Diane, who attended the cocktail party because of Betty, heard the news of the engagement between the two. She couldn't help but find a killer in a coffee shop and ask him to kill Betty. The killer agreed and gave her a small blue key. He told her that he would inform her to go somewhere to get a small blue box that could be opened with the key. Inside the box, there was something that could prove that Betty was dead.

However, when Diane took the small box from a ghost-like tramp and opened it hesitantly at home, her uncle and aunt ran out of the box, laughing crazily and brandishing their claws at her. After Diane hid in her bedroom, she couldn't bear the pressure anymore. She took out a pistol from the drawer, pointed it at her mouth, and pulled the trigger. After a bang, Diane died. Her posture was exactly the same as the first half of the decomposing female corpse.

Finally, the scene changed to the end of the story. Betty, who was still Rita, and Diane, who was still Betty, went to the club. The female singer was still singing in Spanish, sad and melancholy.

The movie ended here. The subtitles began to rise slowly. In the dark hall, there was no other sound except for the background music. There was not a single applause. This was a very impolite thing to do, unless the movie was so bad that no one wanted to watch it. In that case, applause should be given.

But was this the reason why Adriaan didn't receive applause? Of course not! After about ten seconds, the first round of applause rang out, followed by the others. Even though the movie was hard to understand, the clues were still very obvious. Director Miracle must have deliberately arranged it this way so that the audience could figure it out for themselves. He couldn't have made a bad movie, right?

As the subtitles rolled, more and more people had the same idea. Naturally, the applause became more and more enthusiastic, which made one person more and more nervous. Although Nicole's mind was occupied by Adriaan's desire, she still managed to keep a clear head. After all, this was in the theater.

But as the applause rang out at the end of the movie, Adriaan still didn't have the slightest intention to stop. Instead, he continued to dig deeper. Nicole wanted to move his hand away, but when she did so, she followed his rhythm and pressed deeper. As more and more subtitles appeared, the applause grew louder and louder. The feeling of fear mixed with a little excitement began to dominate her, causing her body to tremble slightly.

At this moment, another round of enthusiastic applause rang out. It was louder than any before, as if everyone was applauding. The feeling of being seen immediately filled Nicole's body, making her feel hot. Sensing something, Adriaan suddenly pressed down, and in an instant, her body tensed up. This went on for a few seconds, which also felt like a few centuries, before Nicole finally relaxed, gasping for breath. At the same time, Naomi on the other side did the same.

The lights were finally turned on, and the people who had adapted to the darkness couldn't bear it for a while. They all narrowed their eyes, but the light wasn't strong, so this situation didn't last for too long. People began to look for Adriaan's figure, and soon found him sitting alone in the last row, slowly wiping his hands.

Soon, a film critic walked over and stretched out his hand. "Hello, Mr. Adriaan, I'm Jacques Lehmann. I have a column in Le Figaro. You made a very interesting movie."

Although his English was very strong, Adriaan could still hear him clearly, but he didn't intend to answer in French. Looking at the people over there, he knew that they would soon rush over, and he couldn't answer in another country's language, could he?

"Sorry, Mr. Lehmann, my hand is stained with some drink." Adriaan said as he raised the tissue in his hand.

Lehmann smiled and withdrew his hand. Just as he was about to speak, an Italian accent interrupted, "Now can you tell me what you think about this movie, Mr. Adriaan?"

Judging from the tag hanging on his chest, it was obvious that he was a reporter, a reporter from Italy.

"Please don't rush, let's go out first." Adriaan smiled and made a "please" gesture, then strode out.

Jacques Lehmann glared at the Italian reporter and then followed. The Italian reporter also followed behind Adriaan as if he didn't see it. Seeing that the results of the exploration were good, the others immediately rushed down. The directors and producers who originally wanted to come over to say hello to the miracle director and talk about this strange movie gave up the idea. Anyway, there would be opportunities in the future.

When Adriaan walked to the door of the theater, the reporters had surrounded him again, and the accumulated questions had become more and more.

"Don't you think that your movie is logically incoherent, Mr. Adriaan?"

"What do you want to show in this movie, Mr. Adriaan? Despair because of a lover's betrayal? Or the shady dealings of that era in Hollywood? "

"We observed that although the two stories are completely different, they are inextricably linked. What are you trying to express, Mr. Adriaan?"

"You're rigidly splitting the story into two parts, and it's not like it's …"

"Do you think your work …"

In the face of these endless questions, Adriaan kept smiling. When they walked out to the door of the theater and the bodyguards came up to separate them, he gave a general answer. "As for the specific content of this movie, that should be the business of the audience. There is no standard answer to this movie, just like there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people. Why not use your own wisdom to find the answer you want? I know that many people may still have questions. Although my works have varied styles, there has never been a movie like Mulholland Drive, so let me reveal a little bit here … "

Speaking of this, he glanced at the people who were craning their necks to wait for the answer, and then showed a mischievous smile. "This is actually not my work, this is David Lynch's."
