King of Hollywood

Chapter 16 Venice Film Festival

"It's time to say goodbye!" The bearded guy raised his knife and came to the guy who slashed him. Then he heard a crackling sound behind him. He turned his head in a little astonishment. Aligned.

Bang bang bang! The sound of stir-frying beans sounded, and long flames sprayed out from the machine gun, pouring bullets into the room. In the room, there was a strong contrast between the girl in the bohemian-style dress and the jet-black machine gun with flaming tongues. Although she couldn't see her expression due to the lighting problem, the frowning and pouting appearance gave people A very wonderful impression, especially the slow-motion advance after that, the appearance of shooting with a machine gun is even more adrenaline.

"I never thought I'd be this cool!" Catherine stared at herself on the screen with wide eyes. "It's unbelievable, I didn't feel that way when I was filming this part!"

"That's the beauty of movies, honey," said Adrian, holding her in his arms.

"Oh, no!" Catherine suddenly screamed. Although she had emptied the bullets in the machine gun on the screen, not only did she not kill many people, but she still stood there dumbfounded after the end, and was caught by the robber boss. Walked to the front and stunned to the ground.

"Why can't you let me kill them!" Catherine asked with some resentment.

"Because you only made this request now." Adrian laughed and kissed her cheek.

"What about the other clips? Is it just this one?" Katherine asked with a light snort.

"I'm sorry, the most important things are here, and the rest are basically passing by. You know, you are playing a girl who is unconscious from smoking marijuana and has a very weak sense of existence." Adrian shrugged. Shrug.

"But... I remember that I still have lines." Catherine frowned and thought about it.

"Just a few interjections, and then a 'what', so..." Adrian made a cut.

"Oh, what a disappointment." Catherine sighed, her eyes bent, obviously joking.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it," Adrian put on a serious look, "Just cut this part out, anyway, it won't have much impact on the plot."

"You can't do this!" Catherine called out immediately, thumping Adrian with her fists.

"Hey hey, what do you want to do? Do you want to fight with me? Miss, you don't have a machine gun in your hand now." Adrian laughed and grabbed her hands.

Not to be outdone, Katherine fought back, and accidentally threw them off the chair. But the two of them didn't care and were still fighting on the ground. Catherine screamed with laughter from time to time, and then spread from the ground to the table, chair, and wall until Adrian pressed her firmly. stopped.

"I said, you don't want to struggle out of my hand." Adrian said playfully, looking at Catherine who was close at hand.

Catherine stared at him with unconvinced eyes, her chest kept heaving up and down, and her blushing face was unusually attractive. Then, Adrian kissed her delicate lips and simply pried her teeth apart. The next second, Catherine responded enthusiastically, not only wrapping around Adrian's neck, but also pressing her entire body against it.

This time, the battle of lips and tongues was different from the previous one. While Adrian kissed passionately, the hands that held Catherine's face began to gradually slide down, from the pink neck to the collarbone to the firm chest, soothing with a rhythm that was fast and slow. Catherine didn't do anything else, except that her breathing became more and more rapid and heavy, and a slight moan came from her throat from time to time. Adrian's hands continued to slide down, and after crossing the hips, he picked up the corner of Katherine's skirt and explored the bottom of his thigh.

"...Ed...No..." Catherine's body suddenly tightened a lot, and she subconsciously grabbed Adrian's hand.

Adrian didn't stop, the hand was still advancing inward. Catherine's hand didn't really exert any strength, she just looked at his blurred eyes mixed with lust, shyness and pleading.

Sucking her lower lip again, Adrian suddenly stopped his movements. The two of them just leaned against the wall and said nothing, only the slightly heavy breathing echoed in the room.

After a long while, Catherine finally spoke: "I'm sorry, Ed, I just... I just..."

"It's okay, Kate, it's okay." Adrian said gently, and after feeling his emotions calmed down, he let go of Catherine: "I'll clean up this place and send you back, okay?"

Catherine opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but Adrian, who was looking at packing up, swallowed hesitantly.

Without a word, the car quickly came to the street outside Catherine's house. After parking the car, Adrian looked at Catherine: "Then, good night."

"Good night..." Catherine replied in a low voice, and after she opened the car door, she mustered up her courage and said, "Ed, actually I'm not..."

"It's okay, Kate, I said it, it's okay." Adrian interrupted her. He reached out and stroked Catherine's face, looking at her with a smile: "Your feelings are the most important, understand?"

Catherine stared at Adrian in a daze, suddenly pounced over and hugged him and kissed his mouth fiercely, and the two of them lingered for a while.

"I love you, Ed." When Catherine said this, her face was flushed with a seductive charm.

"Me too." Adrian gently kissed her forehead again, "Have a good dream."

After Catherine got out of the car, he suddenly stopped her again: "By the way, Kate, this movie has been submitted to the Venice Film Festival. Would you like to go to Venice with me? You are still in the summer vacation anyway."

"Of course." Catherine replied without thinking.

"Then it's settled." Adrian nodded, then waved goodbye.

As usual, after watching Catherine jumping and disappearing at the door, Adrian started the car and drove back. Tonight seemed to be a success, but he knew in his heart that Catherine would not escape from his grasp.

"It's really rare, a cute shy girl, the taste of love is very good." Adrian said with a sigh.

He seemed to be divided into two people, devoted himself to the date, and calmly seemed like an outsider when the date ended. But he doesn't think it's bad, he likes it.

But what's a little more troublesome is... Adrian rubbed his fingers and seemed to recall the situation in the studio. If the judgment is correct, Katherine is still... a virgin in all likelihood! This is normal, not all girls lose their virginity early, and it is not uncommon for girls who have not had sex by the age of 17, not to mention that Kate is obviously a little innocent.

Frankly speaking, the satisfaction of a man who can obtain the virginity of a woman is indescribable. But from another point of view, from the point of view of s.e.x, a virgin and a mature woman full of charm are completely different things.

Adrian suddenly laughed and shook his head. If he was just pursuing skills and physical pleasure, he could go to Bunt Street in East London. The 500-pound-a-hour senior call girl can fully meet all kinds of needs.

"That's it, we'll talk about it when we get to Venice." Adrian shrugged.

The Venice Film Festival was first founded in 1932. It is the ancestor of all film festivals in the world and one of the three major film festivals in Europe. It is held at the end of August or the beginning of September every year, and each session is about 2 weeks.

The purpose of the Venice Film Festival is "films serve serious art", and each year a different slogan is put forward, and the judging standard is very pure: artistry. But in Adrian's view, it's more appropriate to set the standard by encouraging experimental films.

When he was in the film school in his previous life, he was once very obsessed with the so-called art films in Europe, and he also had ambitions to make some excellent art films. When it comes to watching movies, everyone has their own feelings, and it is impossible to unify. Most of the so-called art films are just the result of mutual praise. Who gives them the right to speak? To put it harshly, the European film market has long been completely occupied by Hollywood commercial blockbusters, and European films clinging to the brand of art are just lingering.

Of course, this is just the words of the Adrian family, just like the definition of the artistry of a movie, different people have different perceptions. Although he does not like the artistic signboard of the Venice Film Festival, Adrian has a good impression of its attitude towards film experimenters. The Venice Film Festival often accepts films with novel shooting forms and unique techniques, even if there are some defects, as long as there are Just innovate. Although there are many small-cost works that claim to be art, there are also many movies that tell stories well and are liked by most audiences.

This is also one of the reasons why Adrian must let "Two Smoking Guns" participate in the Venice Film Festival. This film is still an experimental film in essence, and it is just right to participate in the Venice Film Festival. You must know that the three major European film festivals have their own characteristics. For example, the Berlin Film Festival pays more attention to ideology. If it is a film reflecting on the Second World War in Germany, as long as it is recognized, the chances of winning the highest award will be very high. The Cannes Film Festival, on the other hand, travels between the two major film festivals in Berlin and Venice, preferring political or inspirational works. With the quality of "Two Smoking Guns", although participating in these two film festivals will also be well received, the possible effects will definitely not be comparable to the Venice Film Festival.

There is no way. If a relatively weak film company or an independent film wants to expand its influence, if you want to find a good company to help distribute it, and if a new director wants to get ahead, then you can only take the road of participating in the film festival. Of course, Adrian believes that all this is only temporary, and this situation will not appear too much over time.

(A lot of prohibited words...hey...)
