King of Hollywood

v3 Chapter 278: give me a hand

"Welcome back to our studio, my name is Jon Stewart, and I will bring you the daily show." With the sound of familiar music, the lens moved from up to sitting in the middle of a suit and leather shoes with a touch of cynical Middle-aged man.

"Just now we formally discussed President Bush's ... sad speech, and the ... subtle interpretation of the X News channel, so let's change the subject now." The prolonged voice is matched with the iconic, cheap and bad The smile made a lot of laughter at the scene. "Remember who I said before today is the guest? Yes, the great director who is always good at creating miracles, Mr. Adrian Cowell!"

He raised his hand to cover his mouth and made a mysterious appearance to the audience and said, "Of course, you know, he is my boss, so ... understand, give me some face."

"Don't worry, Jon, I won't let you get your salary deducted." Just then, Adrian had stepped out from behind, and was generous in front of him.

"Really?" Stewart cooperated to make a surprise look.

"Of course," Adrian spread out, "but I'm considering whether the paid vacation should be changed."

There was a sudden laughter in the audience, and Stewart's face followed. Adrian laughed.

"Well, I'm joking. Do you look like I'm such a shy person?" He said with a smile.

"Ok, let's get back to the topic." Stuart laughed. "I think everyone knows what happened recently, and there are a lot of people who want to invite you to a show."

"So I leave it to you, I like you, Jon." Adrian said immediately, pointing at him.

"Thank you, I'm really honored." Stewart immediately pretended to be in a flattering look, got up and shook hands with him, then looked at the camera again with his hands in front of him: "Did you see that? This is the benefit of being close, of course, I had to ... well ... continue my paid vacation efforts. "

The expression on his face matched the tone first, and then became depressed and helpless. It was very smooth, not at all inconsistent, and suddenly caused a laugh.

"Well, we all know that from the start of Brokeback Mountain at the end of last year, the public has been talking about it. After the official release a few days ago, this contradiction has been reached," Stewart said, looking to Adrian . "So, what do you think of this problem, Ed?"

"Frankly, I didn't think too much about seeing Ms. Pru's novel at first. To me, this is a story about love." Adrian made a gesture to amplify his tone. "It's just a love story."

"Just a love story?" Stewart repeated, eyes widened. "Are you sure you didn't think of Jack or Ennis as Jesse or Ennis?"

"Of course not," Adrian laughed with the audience on the seat. "Actually. If you turn one of the characters into a female and modify some details, you will find that this story is no better than" Romeo and Juliet " 》 How bad. For example ... a man and a woman fell in love on Brokeback Mountain because of work or something else. But for various reasons, such as family, such as a marriage contract, or too far away, the two cannot come together. But they love each other deeply. Although they already have their own lives, they finally meet again in Brokeback Mountain and then agree to meet on the mountain every year. This painful and happy life continues until the woman unfortunately dies and griefs Man looks at Brokeback Mountain with her relics and promises that he will always remember and live well. "

"Wow, it's really moving," Stewart applauded immediately. "This is actually what you wanted to shoot?"

Adrian smiled and went on: "I know what you want to ask the most, Jon, and I know that many people are concerned, and maybe some people are already dissatisfied to compare this film with" Romeo and Juliet " But what I want to say is-I do n’t support homosexuality, do n’t worry, I also do n’t object, in fact, support and opposition are not very accurate words, I care more about letting things go. If I really want to support what Then, I support another thing, that is, the power to choose freely! "

"Oh?" Stewart didn't have a jab, but picked it up with an exclamation.

"This is what we have always insisted on and what we are most proud of. We are free, we can choose what we can do, and we can choose not to do anything," Adrian finally threw out his own opinion, "Whoever it is, Ennis, Jack, me, you, have the right to freely make the choice you want without harming others, family and society!"

The warm applause rang out. As the thing that Americans are most proud of, the word freedom is quite resonating. At this time, plus the last time "Daily Show" is left for the guests, after two more casual chats, this time is up.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Jon, it's very good." After returning to the backstage with Stewart, Adrian tapped his shoulder and said.

Before Stewart spoke, a voice came in from the side: "If that's the case, I can do it, why can't I get on my show?"

"You're here again, Allen," Adrian looked at Laughing and laughed. "Why are you here?"

"You chose Jon's" Daily Show "instead of mine. Of course I have to come and see if he has anything to choose from you." A woman with short hair came over.

"Leave her alone, Ed, she's just jealous." Stuart yelled immediately, and Adrian laughed and stretched out his hand to the woman: "You know why, Ellen."

"Well, I do know the reason, but you should be on my show once anyway? Otherwise it would be too unfair. And it would be a joke. Hey, you know, Jon Stewart Will it be difficult to invite the director of the miracle on the show, pulled it out in his "Daily Show", or snatched it from Ellen DeGeneres. "The woman chattered, apparently, this That is her true purpose.

Adrian had to raise his hand and sway: "Well, Allen, I promise you, if there is time later. I will definitely be in" Allen Show ", I promise."

"That's the way to go." DeGeneres, who had promised, showed a happy look, while Stuart next rolled his eyes.

Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" and Ellen DeGeneres' "Allen Show" are two well-known talk shows. Despite their different styles, there are a large number of fans, especially DeGeneres' "Allen Show" is famous for its spicy and bold, dare to talk about any topic. So he was once as famous as Oprah Winfrey and Larry King.

It stands to reason that Adrian should be on the "Allen Show". After all, this is a special talk show, and it is more well-known in the United States. The relationship between DeGeneres and Ed is also quite good-at first She started her own talk show under Adrian's support.

The problem is that DeGeneres is a true gay. At first she was refrigerated, so that her program ratings were clearly good, but she was cut off after the fifth season, and it has nothing to do with her coming out publicly-of course, it will certainly not be admitted. But later because of Adrian. She was left behind, and after spending some time transforming, she eventually successfully founded the "Allen Show" brand.

Therefore, even though "Allen Show" is more professional, and DeGeneres and Ed have a better relationship, they are still set aside. Saying no support for homosexuality in front of a homosexual ... will conservative groups believe it?

Even though Adrian is now one of the best in power, he must be careful when dealing with conservative teams. He has said many times before that the area and degree of conservativeness of a country are directly proportional. The key to the movement of homosexual organizations after the 21st century is the political correctness of anti-discrimination. If they go too far, they will still be counterattacked by mainstream society.

Previously, Brokeback Mountain was just a reflection. Because Adrian was produced, it caused a confrontation between people on both sides. With the public release now, this debate has become more intense. Especially because of the previous fermentation and the vigorous promotion of homosexual organizations, coupled with the slow pace of the movie, the feelings shown are delicate and strong, and the acting skills of Rui Fan and Pete are also very good. In the end, the shot was more profitable Many women's tears are such that there are strong calls on the Internet from neutrals, and everyone should go watch this movie.

Therefore, in the first week of its release, "Broken Back Mountain" got 10 million box offices in 800 theaters. Many residents of Salt Lake City also deliberately drove to the surrounding cities to watch. In this case, everyone knows that the movie directed by Miracle has been successful again, **** organizations naturally celebrated warmly, and conservative groups want to exert more pressure.

If it was just a point of reflection before, and the influence has not been fully expanded, Adrian can still not respond, but in this case, it must be stated. After all, he is not a Hollywood minority like Ang. He is one of the super rich in the United States and a media magnate representing the media.

Fortunately, despite this fierce situation and expected differences, Adrian has already prepared a killer, a politically correct stick higher than anti-discrimination: the will of freedom!

As early as the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union fought for the right to speak for democracy, they held up the sign of freedom because they were at a disadvantage. Although the United States brought the sign of democracy after the Red Empire was over, it did not give up the sign of freedom. The left-hand side of Hollywood has played its best. The plot is endless, and even Morgan Freeman also taught Kim Carey in comedy movies like "Fake God" that you can't change free will.

As for whether ordinary people in various types of legal frameworks are really free, it doesn't matter, as long as they believe it.

Therefore, when Adrian held up the banner of freedom, said that I neither support nor oppose homosexuality, I just hope that people can choose the life they want to live according to their free will without harming others and the family and society ——Look at the broken family of the two men in the movie.

This is interpreted from a higher level. Its media help to shake the flag again, no doubt it will resonate among the neutrals. The so-called debate is not to refute the opponent, but to fight for neutrality, not to mention that Adrian did not offend whether it was a **** organization or a conservative group.

It's kind of riding a wall, in fact he's riding a wall, and he rides very comfortably. If it is an ordinary person, in the face of this pressure, it is necessary to choose the side, and riding the wall will only die unsightly. But he is different. He is Adrian Cowell, the miracle director of Hollywood, and the chairman of the board of directors of the media.

In the eyes of homosexual organizations, although he showed no support or no objection, a Brokeback Mountain is enough to get more attention from **** people, not to mention he also reminded them in the name of freedom. In the eyes of conservative groups. He has made it clear that he does not oppose but does not support, let alone the banner of freedom, which is enough for a big man.

Besides, didn't he say that, on the premise of not harming others, not harming the family, or harming society. Homosexuality is a violation of human natural processes and harmful to society. As long as they strive to make this acceptable and affirmative to most people, then he must stand by their side.

Of course, the conservative team won't know. This excuse was in Adrian's expectation, let alone say that such a discriminatory point of view can be published openly, even if it is put forward-in fact, such an argument has long been made-gay organizations will be the first time Blocking the muzzle for confession and refutation, he just needs to watch the show next to him.

In January 2005, more than half of the quarrel between the two groups passed. With Adrian Cowell's statement on the "Daily Show", plus many stars have emerged or supported or opposed — —Two starring roles in the low-key "Broken Back Mountain". Rui Fan Phoenix and Brad Pitt have also expressed their supportive opinions. Unfortunately, Rui Fan already has a fixed girlfriend, and many people who want them to become a pair will be disappointed.

This, coupled with the cooperation of the media under the media, Adrian quickly became a secondary target and returned to the background, and Brokeback Mountain also steadily increased his box office, and many paparazzi were unwilling. , But what about unwilling? Their omnipotence is nothing but the blow of the media.

"I know. Every time you're tossing hard, Ed." Claude teased him like this at a lunch, "Even if we don't cooperate with you, you can use this to divert the college's attention to other The place."

"No, no, Crow, if the college knew it, my efforts would be wasted," Adrian said, "remember I told you a verdict in an ancient Chinese criminal case?"

"Of course I remember that the same sentence was reversed, and the verdict was different," Crowd nodded. "I know what you mean, but is that all right?"

"Of course not," Adrian said naturally and leisurely. "There are still some conditions, in short, to ensure that the specific situation will not be caught out by the media before that."

As he looked to the other side of the table, a middle-aged, fat man with a stubble face had just put a piece of fatty beef into his mouth.

"Just rest assured, two, I didn't understand what you said." Hurry up and chew the beef down, and Weinstein shouted in his heart for not being able to taste it.

"It doesn't matter, in fact, I want to ask you to do me a favor, Harvey." Adrian took a cup and took a sip and smiled.

"Happy to help you, Ed." Weinstein said with surprise.

Not surprisingly, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is about to be released this summer, and the three super PRs for Adrian not only made him a media tycoon, but also made Miramax a big money. Mine, in this case, no matter what requirements Adrian has, he will agree to it, of course--

"I've been waiting for you to call." Weinstein grinned, his eyes narrowed into a line.

Adrian generally knew what Weinstein wanted, and since he took the initiative to call today to ask if he would like to have lunch together, if it wasn't for the quarrel caused by Brokeback Mountain, it would be too intense. The relationship with Natalie and the gossip of whether the Miracle Girl ’s lineup has been expanded will occupy an important position in various entertainment websites or newspapers and magazines for a long time. You must know that in the three weeks after the release of "Ahead" This trend is very obvious.

For what the relationship between the two is ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Weinstein is not interested to know, let alone Adrian is still a powerful playboy. Weinstein's interest lies in what he wants, which means that he can get more benefits from this miracle man.

"Are you sure you'll be fine this time?" Adrian said nothing but smiled.

Weinstein froze, then reacted, and his face became a little dazed. He still knows what the other party means. He has sent his woman to the throne of the film for six consecutive years. If he wants to continue, even a public relations guy like him will feel tricky, not to mention Natalie is still so young, And ... Although Weinstein didn't know what Adrian and Claude were talking about just now, as the old foxes of Hollywood, they could probably guess a bit. In this case, let alone 100%, 80% Probably already very good.

"Don't worry, Harvey," Adrian patted his shoulder again. "It's easy for me to help you."

He looked at him with a sharp look: "I hope to invite the respected Mr. John Campbell to come out and talk."

Weinstein opened his eyes suddenly. . . )
