Liv's personality was like this. She was careless and seemed indifferent to many things, but she still had her own ideas. Once she decided on something, she would stick to it. However, her mind was not agile, and her father was not around when she was born. She lived in that kind of environment when she was a child, so she did not like to think and was more willing to accept other people's suggestions. Therefore, the thing she hated the most was being deceived.
This happened to be Adriaan's advantage. He almost never lied to his women, but he would not say certain things as long as they did not ask.
"A man who seduces women with lies should be called a liar!" Although this was the view of Adriaan, who used to boast of being romantic, he had completely inherited it now.
For such a long time, only in front of the pregnant Kate was an exception. After all, he had to consider the pregnant woman's emotions. The reason why he could have such confidence and bearing was that he had the ability and strength to match it. Of course, there were exceptions such as "Yes, you are the most beautiful", "Oh, baby, you are better than everyone else" and so on.
Although Liv did not comment on his evaluation of a vase, it did not mean that she really did not realize it. It was just that for a woman, this evaluation was not good, not to mention that she liked to act in movies. Adriaan believed that Liv would accept it, and not only did he say it sincerely, but he also gave a solution. After all, Liv was not a fool, not to mention she had a shrewd mother. Although Bibi Bill had always opposed their relationship, she did not necessarily see her daughter's shortcomings and opportunities.
At the same time, this was also a small test to test the importance of Adriaan in Liv's heart.
In addition to the two of them, Monica's movie had to be considered. Although he had made a plan, she currently needed to practice her acting skills in independent movies. At the same time, he had to prepare some more popular works to maintain her popularity.
The easiest one to consider was Blanchett. Adriaan had already prepared a role for her. Although she was still hesitant about some things, it could be seen from the fact that she rarely refused his dates. Adriaan just needed to work harder, such as making the next role successful again.
It was simple. Adriaan had to arrange this for the premiere of Mission Impossible.
"Look who's here." Tom Cruise laughed and reached out to hug Adriaan. He looked particularly enthusiastic, as if their relationship was very good.
"Sorry I'm late," said Adrian with a smile, patting Cruise's arm at the right time.
"It's okay. You're a busy man. We all understand, right?" Cruise said to the people around him.
Adriaan immediately greeted them. They were all familiar faces: Paramount's CEO, the film's director, Cruise's agent, and … his young and beautiful wife, Nicole Kidman.
"I'm so happy to see you here." Adriaan shook hands with them one by one. When it was Nicole's turn, she retracted her hand imperceptibly. Her eyelids were lowered, and she did not dare to look at him.
Although she hid her annoyance well, Adriaan still noticed it. He wanted to take this opportunity to gently scrape the tender spot between her thumb and index finger, but he gave up the idea after looking at the environment. However, he couldn't help but think back to the second time of passion that night. Nicole's figure and style were both top-notch. Furthermore, the self-abandoning debauchery and the shame and pleading after being exposed had left a deep impression on him. Not to mention ….
"Let's go in first. It's about to start." Cruise said at this time and made a gesture to everyone.
The group then followed the crowd into the screening hall, found their seats, and began to wait for the movie to be played.
"What do you think, Tommy?" Adriaan asked after a few words of conversation.
"I like this script, Eide. This is a great character." Cruise immediately said with delight, "He is very different from most characters of the same type. At first, he was just a mercenary businessman, and he only had a relationship with his customers. Because after the scandal was exposed, he only thought about how to regain his fame and how to retaliate against his boss. He never cared about the thoughts of the people around him. It was not until later that he slowly began to change. How to show this change perfectly is the key to whether this movie can be popular!"
"It's great that you like it." Although Adriaan maintained a smile, he sneered a few times in his heart. Although Cruise's words were reasonable now, when he first gave him the script, he did not take it to heart at all.
Adriaan deliberately asked someone to visit Cruise in person with the script. According to the description of the staff who came back, Cruise threw the script aside after flipping through a few pages, and then lazily said that he would call. There was no possibility of the staff lying because Adriaan specifically told him to focus on observing Cruise's reaction. Also, after handing over the script to Cruise, Cruise only gave a reply after almost three weeks. Although Cruise seemed particularly enthusiastic on the phone, it was obvious that he only understood the excellence of the script after being persuaded by his agent and friends.
Thinking of this, Adriaan involuntarily glanced at Nicole sitting next to Cruise. The latter had just shifted her gaze elsewhere, but the slight snort did not escape his eyes.
Adriaan could not help but chuckle twice in his heart, but he continued to talk to Cruise.
"When do you plan to start preparing, Eide? I have already picked the right actors, "Cruise asked immediately.
After hearing this, Adriaan could not help but frown slightly. Have you picked the right actors? Why? Do you want to make it like Mission Impossible? What is going on in his head?
Of course, it was hard to say what Cruise was thinking, plus the movie was about to start, so Adriaan just shrugged, "Don't worry, Tommy. Let's make an appointment in a few days to discuss it."
As the lights in the theater went out, the movie finally began. As soon as the movie came out, a group of agents used framing methods commonly used in movies to get a confession, but everything from the room setting to the corpses were fake. Soon, the first classic scene appeared. After the middle-aged man came out of the room, he tore off the whole skin on his face, and then revealed Cruise's handsome face hidden behind it.
This face-changing scene and the explosive opening music that followed could be considered the hallmark of "Mission: Impossible." One had to admit that although the original TV series was produced in the 1970s, many things were not outdated today. For example, the face-changing scene was smoother and better looking, and the explosive opening music was even more so. Only a small change could be made in the arrangement.
Then, naturally, it was the main movie. Jim, played by Anthony Hopkins, received a mission on the plane, and then began to recruit team members to prepare for the mission. Seeing Hopkins' appearance, Adriaan could not help but think of poor Joey Walter, the former Best Actor, who was now almost the laughing stock of Hollywood.
The subsequent plot surprised many people. Originally, they thought that Tom Cruise and his wife, Nicole Kidman, would appear together at the beginning, so they should play a couple in the movie. The husband and wife scene was also one of the gimmicks in the publicity. They did not expect that Nicole would play Hopkins' wife, which was really interesting.
On the screen, Hopkins joked, "Are you criticizing my wife's craft, Ethan?" After that, Adriaan could not help but look at Nicole, who was a seat away from him, but unfortunately, her face was stiff and expressionless.
Chuckling in his heart, Adriaan then set his eyes on another woman in the movie, Richel Viz, who played Sarah Davis. It was undeniable that her temperament was really attractive, especially in the scene where she appeared in the embassy. Her behavior was decent and a little sexy, but she did not have many scenes.
But what made Adriaan depressed was that Richel did not go to the United States to attend the premiere. The reason was also very simple. She acted in a stage play in the United Kingdom, and the schedule just happened to be there. This should be the truth, but … He touched his chin and decided not to think about it. Anyway, there was still a chance. If she really did not appreciate it, it did not matter. He was not short of women.
With Ethan Hante detonating the bomb in the restaurant, the movie won the first climax, and then a tense plot ensued. Contacting arms dealers, making deals, sneaking into the CIA, and the classic Spiderman theft, as well as the helicopter and train chase in the tunnel later, all made the audience breathless.
From the mid- 1980s to the mid- 1990s, Tom Cruise did make a lot of good movies. Not to mention the commercial "Mission Impossible," which created a new model of agent movies — he was still living on this for more than a decade — and the artistic "Born on the Fourth of July," which earned him his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor a few years ago, and the commercial and artistic success was "Mr. Sweet," which he had just discussed with Adriaan before the movie began.
"Mr. Sweet" was indeed a very good movie. The plot was full, the content was rich, the plot was ups and downs, and several characters appeared to be full. Needless to say, the protagonist, Cruise's previous analysis was very accurate. One of the main supporting roles was a black player. Although he talked big and made a mess of things several times, no matter how down and out the protagonist was, he unswervingly supported him. Another main supporting role, the male protagonist's female assistant, a gentle and pleasant single mother, and at the same time, a little woman who admired the talent, was the male protagonist's best haven.
Even the supporting roles that only appeared for a few minutes were quite interesting. For example, a former client of the male protagonist, after the male protagonist was fired, cried to him on the phone about his predicament and said that he could no longer work with him, but immediately became happy after putting down the phone. This kind of acerbic plot could be found everywhere in movies. It not only showed the greed of human nature, but also praised the indomitable spirit. Although it criticized the agent profession, it was more of a positive outline of what an agent should do. Therefore, even though there were comedy elements in this inspirational plot, and the North American box office exceeded 100 million, it still made the Oscars look at it in a different light.
Therefore, when Cruise tried to get a script from Adriaan that would help him go further, the first thing that Adriaan thought of was this movie, and at the same time, he found a good role for Blanchett.
As the ending came, many people felt it was a pity that Claire, played by Nicole, still couldn't escape the ending of being shot dead by Jim, played by Hopkins. But as a whole, the movie was quite successful. It was expected that after the movie was released, Cruise's popularity would rise a lot.
Adriaan originally wanted to leave when the movie was over. There was a beautiful woman in front of him, but he couldn't touch her, and the other one didn't come. It was better to go back and coax Kate. These days, her temper had become a lot worse, but Adriaan found it more and more funny when she was angry. So now, every time Kate would be defeated by her "watching with interest."
However, Cruise repeatedly invited him to the party after the premiere, and the other people echoed him, and the place where the party was held was not far from the theater. After thinking about it, he finally agreed.
Like all parties, the scene was very lively, and everyone was very casual. There were many acquaintances.
"I heard that you almost fell off the train scene." Adriaan joked to Anthony Hopkins. "Have you become a terrible old man, Professor Hannibal?"
"I have always been a terrible old man, Eide," Hopkins said with a self-deprecating smile. Then he explained, "At that time, my back was very painful, and it inevitably affected the shooting of the action scenes. Fortunately, I got through it."
"Last time in Prague, I heard you talk about back pain, and I also introduced you to a doctor. Can't he cure you?" Adriaan asked in surprise.
"No, no, no." Hopkins quickly waved his hand. "I've recovered. Dr. Royden is very good. After a small operation, I have recovered for a long time. I have to thank you, Eide."
"It's nothing, just a small favor. With a good body, I can continue to create classic screen images, and then I can continue to work with you." Adriaan laughed.
"It sounds like you have some ideas."
"You know, I always have a lot of ideas."
After all, Hopkins was older, so he soon left the party. Adriaan chatted with others for a while, and suddenly felt a little bored, so he could not help but want to leave.
"Sometimes parties are good, but sometimes they are boring." He muttered to himself as he came to a deserted corridor. After clearing his mind in the hustle and bustle, he turned a corner and saw a graceful figure standing on the balcony at the end of the corridor.
She was wearing a dark blue knee-length skirt and a silk coat of the same color. Her big wavy red hair with a hint of gold hung softly from the back of her head. Because her hands were on the balcony, her upper body was leaning forward while her lower body was slightly tilted back. The round curve of her buttocks was immediately revealed. She was wearing a pair of black high-heeled sandals on her raised feet. It was as seductive as one could imagine.
Adriaan admired her in his heart, and walked to the balcony. "Why are you here alone?"
Nicole, who was immersed in her own thoughts, did not notice his arrival. She was startled, and when she turned around, an indescribable expression appeared on her face: embarrassment, anger, annoyance, and so on.
"What's on your mind?" Adriaan's smile was more meaningful, but no matter how he asked, Nicole tilted her head, neither looking at him nor answering.
But who was Adriaan? He quickly changed the topic. "Oh, by the way, when I came up, I saw Tommy talking with Brian and the others, so you don't have to worry."
As soon as he said this, Nicole's face became extremely ugly. She stared at Adriaan fiercely, as if her eyes were about to spit fire. Adriaan shrugged, looking innocent, which was like adding fuel to the fire.
"What do you want to say, you bastard?" Nicole gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think you can humiliate me just because you've f * cked me? Do you think you can laugh at me just because you've f * cked me? F * ck you! "
If it weren't for the fact that the venue of the party was below the balcony, and that they could hear the music and noise coming from there, Nicole might have shouted this sentence out loud.
"I didn't say anything, did I?" Adriaan spread his hands, still looking very innocent.
Nicole's body suddenly trembled, and she took a few deep breaths to control her emotions. She immediately turned around and walked to the balcony corridor, but before she could take two steps, Adriaan grabbed her arm.
"Wait, Nicole, don't you think this is very rude? I only said a few words, but you yelled at me without any reason. This is so disappointing, "Adriaan said in a calm tone.
"Let me go!" Nicole shouted in a low voice, swinging her arm, trying to shake his hand off.
"You shouldn't vent your accumulated anger on me, it's very unfair to me," Adriaan continued.
"Let me go, you bastard!" Nicole, who was already in a state of anxiety, couldn't listen at all. She raised her voice, "Don't think that I'm a whore just because I unintentionally let myself go. You're nothing to me!"
As soon as she finished her sentence, she was pulled into Adrian's arms. Then, he lifted her up and pressed her against the wall. Nicole let out a painful groan, and then struggled with all her might. Unfortunately, she was firmly suppressed, and she couldn't break free at all.
"Let me go, or I'll scream!" She finally shouted like this. As soon as her voice fell, Adriaan, who firmly pressed her against the wall, suddenly pushed up. Nicole, who felt something, finally thought of something and calmed down. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Adriaan's somewhat cold and teasing gaze, and she couldn't help but shiver.
Adriaan smiled coldly, and then moved closer to Nicole's ear, staring at her without blinking, "Do you really think I don't dare to f * ck you here?"
