Chapter 687

"Director Miracle is still so different. First, he made a completely different movie in such a short time, and then he claimed that it was a tribute to David Lynch. Then we found that the method of this movie is indeed full of David Lynch's style. It seems that only God knows what he is thinking." Adriaan turned the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help but laugh after reading this paragraph.

"Look at what they are saying, as if I am an alien. If possible, they probably want to drag me out and cut me up for research." He threw the newspaper down and said to the two women in front of him.

"I agree, I also want to know if you are an alien." Nicole said bluntly with a cup of black tea in her hand. Since the day of the premiere, she had not been nice to Adriaan. She was actually played with by his fingers in that kind of situation and that kind of place. If she hadn't sneaked back to the hotel before the lights went out, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been.

Even so, in bed, Nicole still seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat, but in fact, she tried her best to welcome him. Every time she thought back to the various things in the dark theater that night, she would feel a sense of excitement in her heart. After the movie was released, although there was a lot of controversy surrounding the plot, film critics from all over the country gave her a good performance.

It had been almost ten years since she came to Hollywood. Although she had acted in many movies and received some good reviews, when people mentioned her, other than the word "Mrs. Tom Cruise", they would think of her as a "vase". When had they ever had such a comment? Thinking of the compliments she had received at various banquets in the past few days, even though most of them were out of politeness or trying to hit on her, compared to the previous excuses of her beauty and sex appeal, she still felt a sense of pride.

This man, indeed, could create miracles. Every time she was alone, such thoughts would inevitably emerge from the bottom of Nicole's heart, and then she would subconsciously clench her teeth. If only she had met him ten years ago …

Of course, such thoughts were quickly forgotten. Also, Nicole would not forget Adriaan's undisguised possessiveness and desire to conquer every time he pressed her against the wall, on the table, or on the bed. She would not let him achieve his goal. She did not want a man to control her life again. The current forbearance was just for the future freedom. She would not become his pet or plaything like that woman!

Thinking of this, Nicole couldn't help but look at Naomi Watts on the other side. Their friendship had disappeared, and there was only disgust in her eyes. She was also played by Adriaan in the theater. Although Naomi moved out of Adriaan 'suite after returning to the hotel, she returned in less than two days, and she was as intimate as ever with Adriaan.

Needless to say, the praise of the film critics during this period had a great effect. Listen to it: The most difficult role of the year! This was higher than her evaluation. This was another reason why Nicole was unhappy. If it weren't for Naomi and Adriaan, Nicole would not be like this. After all, they used to be friends, and they were all from Australia. The Australian actors in Hollywood were still very united.

Not to mention, some tabloids also added fuel to the fire. The most shocking thing was that the Weekly World News, which claimed to be the only credible newspaper in the world, claimed that she and Naomi were gay!

"… This movie is very similar to the experience of Nicole and Naomi, but Nicole Kidman is not married to a big director, but the once popular star Tom Cruise. The most worth pondering is that Naomi and Nicole went to the same drama school in Australia and are like sisters. According to insiders, Naomi once attended Nicole's single party before she got married, and she even had a conflict with Nicole. Obviously, they had an unspeakable relationship before. Naomi has been unknown since she came to Hollywood, which is a sharp contrast to Nicole …"

The report was long and voluminous, fully displaying the pattern of nine truths and one falsehood. It spared no effort to link all the plots in the movie to the two of them, especially when it came to the "dream" part, it was even more exaggerated. Simply put, two beautiful girls fell in love in drama school, but one of them married a popular star in order to develop her career in Hollywood, and successfully became a famous actress. The other one was so sad that she didn't even hesitate to mess up the bachelor party before the other party's marriage. Later, the other one also went to Hollywood to develop her career, but she remained unknown for several years.

At this point, the plot was different from the movie. Under the disdainful efforts of the latter, she finally moved the heart of the former. In the end, she divorced her star husband and got together. Then, after a big director learned about their relationship, he adapted it into a movie and produced it.

It was very, very fictional, but thinking about the reputation of this newspaper, it would be strange if they didn't write it like this. It would be fine if it was during normal times, but "Mulholland Drive" had become the headlines of various entertainment media during this time, along with the Cannes Film Festival. Moreover, the experience of the two was indeed somewhat similar to the story behind the movie. Coupled with the picture of Nicole and Naomi attending the movie premiere hand in hand, it attracted a lot of attention. There were even some people discussing on the internet whether Nicole and Cruise's divorce was really because of Naomi.

Only a fool would believe this kind of news! Nicole, who was drinking black tea, secretly glared at Adriaan again. At this moment, he was chatting intimately with Naomi about something. Obviously, he was very happy to see this kind of report, because it would make it easier for him to do certain things. In fact, after returning from the premiere that day, he had the intention to take them to bed together, but he didn't succeed after both Nicole and Naomi refused.

"Speaking of which, Eide, did you make this movie to pay tribute to David Lynch?" Naomi's voice floated into Nicole's ears at this time. "Nicole should also want to know, right?"

She originally wanted to object, but she swallowed the words when they were on the tip of her tongue. Then, she looked at Adriaan. Nicole was also very curious. After all, many well-known film critics affirmed that the style of "Mulholland Drive" was very similar to Lynch. If the name of the director and producer was changed to Lynch, there would definitely not be so many people questioning and asking.

"Do you really want to know?" The corners of Adriaan's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes moved between Naomi and Nicole twice before he said, "First of all, the style of this movie is indeed Lynch's style, and secondly, I don't need to pay tribute to others."

His words immediately made the two women a little confused. Since he admitted that he did indeed make a movie in Lynch's style, why did he say that there was no need to pay tribute to others?

"You don't understand? That's right, I didn't intend to let people understand when I made this movie. " Facing their puzzled eyes, Adriaan suddenly laughed, and then refused to say another word. It wasn't until Naomi pestered him for a long time that he said, "You will know in a few days."

He never did useless work. Producing "Mulholland Drive" and participating in the Cannes Film Festival again, in addition to giving Naomi a chance to become famous and involving Nicole, had a more important purpose.

In order to achieve this goal, he had done a lot of work, but most of it was useless. Relatively speaking, he had underestimated these professional film critics. Needless to say, Roger Ebert's analysis was impartial and to the point, and the film critic who suggested the possibility of "dreaming" also surprised him a little.

The saying of "dreaming" was very popular in his previous life. Although there were many parts that didn't make sense or were even far-fetched, it was enough for ordinary people. They wouldn't study a movie over and over again. As long as they could sort out the general logic and show their sense of superiority, the rest didn't matter. An important piece of evidence for this statement was that when the two stories were switched, the cowboy who had threatened director Adam opened the door and said to Betty Diane, who was lying in the bedroom bed, "It's time to get up, beautiful."

In Adriaan's version, this place was modified. The cowboy just came out and didn't say anything. He wanted to know if anyone would come to the conclusion that it was "dreaming" without this sentence. Even if there wasn't, it didn't matter. He had already arranged for people to bring up this topic when the time was right. But things were always so interesting, and these preparations were in the end for nothing.

The same was true about the David Lynch style of the movie. It had to be admitted that there were some people who couldn't be underestimated, whether it was among the film critics or fans. Fortunately, this last move was not in vain. A few days later, another surprising report came out in the Los Angeles Times, and then was reprinted by other newspapers.

"Obviously, Director Miracle is trying to prove something. Think about the comments people made about him when" Wide-Eyed, Warning "was first released last year. Almost all of them said that he couldn't make such a work. Even after it was confirmed, some people still expressed doubts and even thought that Kubrick's guidance played a considerable role in it. As a young man who became an internationally famous director in just a few years, although he didn't respond to these comments, it was inevitable that he would take it to heart. So he thought of a good way to fight back, which was to make a work that was similar to the style of a certain director. "

This was a paragraph in the article. It seemed to say that Adriaan was narrow-minded and couldn't stand others pointing fingers at him, but with a little analysis, a surprising conclusion could be drawn: if Director Miracle wanted to imitate the style of that director to make a movie, he would definitely be able to make it, and no one would be able to tell.

This was the truth. If someone hadn't mentioned that "Mulholland Lane" was very similar to the style of David Lynch, perhaps no one would have realized this. So, the already chaotic situation became even more chaotic. Why did Director Miracle want to make such a movie? Was it a tribute to David Lynch, or was it just to prove himself, as the article revealed? Neither the reporters nor the critics dared to come to a conclusion.

It would be great if Adriaan was willing to say something, but the problem was that the reporters couldn't find him. Although he began to appear at some banquets after the article came out, the reporters outside the hotel still couldn't find him. As for the critics, directors, and producers who also attended the banquets, they couldn't get anything out of him. Every time they talked about this matter, he would always avoid it. Moreover, Adriaan often didn't stay for long before leaving, so they couldn't find any problems even if they wanted to.

Adriaan didn't care about this. Although it seemed a little unnecessary to make such a big fuss about leaving such an impression, it was worth it as long as he thought about the benefits of letting Naomi and Nicole get closer to him. Moreover, this arrangement would play some role in the future. Although he wasn't very clear about it, it was always good to be prepared.

So he had been very relaxed these days. Although there were many reporters around the hotel, there were still many film competitions in Cannes, and they had to pay attention to some of them. No matter how tight the security was, there would always be loopholes, not to mention how tight the cooperation of these reporters was. In addition to some entertainment activities in the hotel, he also went out a lot. He even took Naomi to the beach to play, not in Cannes. The coastline of southern France was not short, so they couldn't play in Cannes, but they could go to the neighboring cities. Even though the beach might not be as good as that in Cannes, it was definitely not much worse. At the same time, he also did some things on the way.

The woman was lying on the bed, constantly twisting her body. Her clothes were in a mess, and her skirt was rolled up to her waist. Her underwear was pulled into a thin thread hanging at the bottom of her calf, and her ankles were tied together. Not only that, her hands were also twisted, and her wrists were also tied with something. The black cloth was covering her eyes, and her mouth was firmly covered by a big hand. She couldn't make a sound.

The strong man pressed her down on the bed from behind, and he was moving up and down on her soft body from time to time. All of this seemed to be related to some kind of crime scene, but from the man's teasing eyes and the woman's moans without the slightest pain, it could be seen that this scene was definitely not as violent as she had imagined.

Finally, with a loud sigh, the man and the woman both tightened their bodies. This lasted for dozens of seconds before they softened and began to adjust their breathing.

"Let go of me, Adriaan! You bastard, how long are you going to keep me like this?! " As soon as the man's hand loosened, the woman cried out impatiently. Although her tone was fierce, it also carried a hint of coquettishness.

"You don't know how charming you look like this, Sophie." Adriaan kissed the back of the woman's neck and shoulder gently and said in a regretful tone, "I really don't want to let you go. You only belong to me like this."

"But you won't only belong to me," Sophie, who was under him, said jealously.

Adriaan couldn't help but laugh. As a film festival held in her hometown, how could Sophie Marceau, who had already finished filming "Anna Karenina", not to mention that Adriaan had also brought a new film to Cannes. However, as a woman who had done shocking things with him in Paris, how could she not know what kind of relationship he had with the two heroines of "Mulholland Drive"?

Although she knew what kind of person Adriaan was, knowing and seeing were two different things, so how could Sophie be happy? Therefore, when Adriaan had secretly come to see her twice, she had stopped him with a few words.

"You know why." Adriaan bit her earlobes and said in a low voice. At the same time, he took off the cloth tied around her wrists and ankles.

Sophie was silent for a moment. She took off the cloth covering her eyes, turned around, and raised her blushing face to look at Adriaan. She couldn't hide the satisfaction between her eyebrows. After a while, she sighed and leaned into his arms. "You only know how to torture me with this little trick!"

Obviously, Adriaan wasn't someone who would give up so easily. Soon, he came out for the third time. However, this time, he didn't come to her directly. Instead, he took advantage of the time when Sophie returned to the hotel alone and there was no one else in the corridor to come out of his hiding place. He covered Sophie's mouth from behind and hugged her into the hotel suite. Then, he took the prepared black cloth and covered her eyes. Then, he tied her hands and feet and pressed them on the bed to put on a big show.

Of course, he didn't hide his accent. Otherwise, Sophie might have taken out an anti-pervert appliance from her handbag and showed it to him. It would be big trouble if the electric current hit something that shouldn't be there. Hearing his voice, Sophie struggled for a while, but she quickly obeyed and cooperated with him. Adriaan didn't tie her too tightly, and the position was very suitable. He didn't worry that she would feel uncomfortable. It was a pity that there was no camera, so he couldn't shoot the tempting scene of Sophie being blindfolded and tied up and thrown on the bed.

"If I didn't use this little trick, how would you see me?" Adriaan teased. He wasn't worried that Sophie would have other ideas, because in addition to her sweet words and gentleness, she also had two Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

This seemed very vulgar. How could such an elegant woman stay by a playboy's side just for this? But the reality was like this. After the Young Actor Awards, Sophie didn't have any significant honor. She didn't even get a nomination, which was absolutely a sad thing for actresses. They could live without money, but they couldn't live without honor. At this point, it had to be admitted that the Chinese language was broad and profound. Fame and fortune always came behind the fortune.

Therefore, Adriaan could let so many women stay with him, whether they were willing or not.

"I know you may be a little unhappy, but it doesn't matter. The film festival is about to end. How about I accompany you in France for a while?" Adriaan then said, "And after a while, I have a movie to shoot in Europe, and it will be easier to see you."

"You have a movie to shoot in Europe?" Sophie raised her head at this time and looked at him with a thoughtful expression.
