795. Donkey's Kiss
"SHIT, is that program team so impatient?" Adolf couldn't help but scold, knowing that things were inevitable.
The kind of bet in the face of a national audience, even if he wants to deny it, but when he thinks of the nation's condemnation of his credibility, he must pinch his nose and accept the punishment.
"Adolf, you also know that those people on the TV station are mercenary guys, eager to suck the last drop of our blood, how can they let you go, especially now that "League of Assassins" is on the scene, it is a good opportunity to officially hype up this topic. There was also a bit of helplessness in the agent's tone.
What the TV station was thinking, he understood it when he received the notice, in fact, since the sudden emergence of "League of Assassins", he has already contacted Albert, who is betting against him, or Nie Wei, who is directly related to the gambling contract.
It's a pity that the former didn't let go at all, and sitting on the latter as a party, he didn't even get the contact information, as for going to the hotel where Nie Wei stayed, he didn't even see Nie Weiren, he was isolated by a group of bodyguards, no matter how he explained, the group of guys who looked like they had muscles in their heads just didn't move.
So at this moment, he can only persuade Adolf to happily agree to fulfill the contract, so that at least he can leave a good impression on the audience in the United States to keep his promise, just like Barkley did at the beginning, kissing the donkey's buttocks, but it made him more famous in the United States, and for a time even his popularity caught up with his active period.
"Adolf, you can actually imagine that Barkley kissed the ass of a donkey, at least you kissed the mouth, and from the heart, I think the mouth is still more acceptable than the ass. ”
"No, I don't think I can accept either of them. Adolf replied bitterly, but after complaining, he still agreed easily: "Edson, I understand, losing is losing, I will accept punishment, I am willing to cooperate with the program team, anytime and anywhere." ”
"It's best if you can figure it out, rest assured, just like Barkley, just touch it lightly, and I promise the show team will wash that donkey clean, and put on your favorite rose perfume. ”
"Thank you so much for your comfort. Adolf hung up the phone with a miserable expression.
On the other side, Albert, who had just received the notice, was full of spirit, who made him the ultimate winner.
Although he felt a little sorry for Adolf who was used by him, he was more excited, because through this bet, he not only became a little well-known in the United States, but also achieved his title of accurate vision in the industry.
After all, when he supported "League of Assassins", almost all the entertainment media in North America were not optimistic about him, and even many reports said that it was a bet that he would lose.
But now it turned out that he slapped everyone in the face, and he had the last laugh.
Of course, Albert knew in his heart that he was just giving it a go, in fact, he didn't believe that "League of Assassins" would be so successful, and even he was ready to kiss a donkey in those media reports, and even lost sleep for two nights in a row.
But none of this matters anymore, he is the winner now, he only cares about the outcome of this victory, as for the starting point and the process, anyway, for Albert, it is an existence that he has decided to forget.
"Hi bro, hear me tell you good news. Just as Albert was thinking about how he was going to tease Adolf during the recording of the show that night, his agent called.
"What's the good news?" Albert was shaken as soon as he heard the good news.
"I was called by a well-known clothing store and they wanted to sponsor your outfit for the evening show, man, you don't have to worry about which dress to wear at night more shabby, I know that the store, the cheapest clothes in the store are more expensive than the clothes in your closet!" the agent excitedly reported.
To identify whether an artist has really become popular, sponsorship and endorsement are undoubtedly a more accurate standard, whether you are a host, a singer, or an actor, only if you really have commercial value, these sponsorships and endorsements will find you.
Sure enough, hearing the good news, Albert excitedly bounced straight off the sofa.
"Oh, brother, you're so right, I've long been tired of those cheap shirts and suits in my closet, I can't wait to wear those designer suits now, do you think I should change my hairstyle again, I think it's a bit earthy now. ”
Albert, looking in the mirror, asked excitedly.
"Don't worry, I've put you in touch with a well-known barber who has styled the hairstyles of many of Hollywood's biggest stars, so I'm sure you'll be the most handsome of all the black guys tonight. After complimenting Albert, the agent said, "All you have to do now is get ready, I'll drive to your house right away, we'll get our hair done first, and then we'll go to that clothing store, and tonight you're going to wear the most gorgeous shirt and become famous overnight!"
"That's right, I'm going to be famous, I'm going to soar!" Albert had ambition in his eyes, he was no longer satisfied with being a special film critic for a newspaper column, he wanted to be a film critic like Adolf, no, even more famous than Adolf.
He wants to appear in various movie programs on major TV stations, give good or bad reviews to those movies, and even think that one day he can decide the rise and fall of a movie at the box office with one word.
Because this is a sensational gamble, the TV station deliberately made the program a live broadcast mode.
At nine o'clock in the evening of the same day, more than 10 million viewers across the United States locked on this channel at the same time, including Nie Wei.
After all, this is a bet about "League of Assassins", and it is also the fuse that changed the box office performance of "League of Assassins" for the better, and because of this incident itself, Nie Wei was of great interest, to put it bluntly, Nie Wei also had a heart of gossip.
The show started on time at nine o'clock, and when the picture cut into the live broadcast room, the two hosts and the two guests had already done it, and the position arrangement was also very interesting, it was originally just a row of sofas, but now it has become sitting opposite each other, obviously this arrangement is to reflect the feeling of the two guests being opposed.
"I'm sure many viewers were impressed by our last episode, in which two guests, Albert and Adolf, made a bet that caught the attention of all Americans, and that was about the box office results of a movie. With that, the host began to ask his partner beside him.
"Mary, do you remember what that bet was?"
"Of course. The hostess Mary shook her shoulders and said with a smile: "I see countless people on the Internet every day reminding me of this bet, and I think I won't forget it unless I suffer from Alzheimer's like my grandmother." ”
"The two made a bet about the box office of "League of Assassins", and I remember that the condition was that as long as "League of Assassins" won a weekly box office or could be ranked in the top three at the Christmas box office, then Albert won, and vice versa, Adolf won. Mary said.
As soon as the words fell, Adolf was not happy, and immediately retorted: "Hey, Mary, is it a kiss, not a tongue kiss, are you really Alzheimer's, please don't change our bet." ”
"I remember your mother was half French, and I thought you'd love a wet French kiss. Mary was not embarrassed by the lie, nor was she angry with Adolf for saying that she was demented, but gave a very powerful reason that made Adolf speechless.
"If it's you, I'm willing, if it's a donkey, forget it. Adolf is already in a broken jar state of mind, and at this time he didn't forget to tease this beautiful host.
But Mary is not the kind of woman who can be molested easily, and after so many years of hosting career, she has long been trained to have a poisonous tongue.
"Adolf, don't talk about me, I think after you kiss the donkey, maybe your mother won't want to kiss you anymore. These words, coupled with Mary's disgusted expression, made everyone laugh in the audience except for Adolf, who had a black face.
Albert, in particular, laughed the most exaggeratedly, leaning forward and backwards, and the large movement made others fearful, for fear that he would fall off the sofa in the next second.
And looking at Albert's smug appearance, Adolf's face darkened.
"Ahem, don't laugh, please leave the last dignity to Mr. Adolf. The host finally stepped up to interrupt the joyous atmosphere, and then asked Mary to announce the achievements of League of Assassins over the past week.
After Mary finished reading the results of "League of Assassins", the host continued: "Then now that "League of Assassins" has won the box office championship in the first week, it also means that Mr. Adolf lost the original bet, Mr. Adolf, did you think that you would lose so quickly, after all, it has only been a week, I remember that when the bet was first made a week ago, you also said that you were sure of this bet. ”
"In fact, I still think it's incredible, after all, before this movie, there was no film dominated by Chinese elements that could achieve such excellent results, of course, it is also possible that as some media say, I myself lifted a stone and shot myself in the foot, if it wasn't for this bet, maybe "League of Assassins" would not have created such a good result. Adolf replied bitterly.
"You think you're not willing to lose?" asked Mary sharply after listening to Adolf's words.
If Adolf shows a little unwillingness, then tonight, whether he is close to the donkey or not, he will be looked down upon by the audience and feel that he can't afford to lose.
But Adolf is not a stupid person, how could he fall into the trap of Mary's little so easily, so after Mary asked this question, Adolf gave the answer almost without hesitation.
"No, I'm convinced of this failure, after all, the results are there, which makes any excuse pale in the face of this achievement. Adolf's expression has become a lot calmer at this moment, and he even took the initiative to ask the host when he will bring the donkey in, and he wants to end this link quickly.
"You may not understand my feelings, I am like a death row prisoner now, I know that I will get a bullet in the end, but the waiting process is actually the most terrifying, so it is better to fight quickly, so I don't have to worry all the time. ”
"Please be patient, our Miss Sendy is not ready to be kissed by you, please give her some more time, unless you are not afraid of being kicked by her." Mary wouldn't agree to Adolf's request so easily, and the task given to her by the TV station today was to tease Adolf fiercely and dig out all the entertainment value on him.
Adolf had a sad face, God knows when the people arranged by the program team will be able to appease the donkey, he now feels that he has a sword of Damox on his head, which will fall at any time.
ridiculed the loser Adolf for a while, and the program team naturally will not forget the successful Albert.
"I was very confident when I made the bet, you may not believe it, I watched this movie no less than 100 times just by watching the trailer, and when it was officially released, I watched it three times a day, and I was amazed by his excellent production, which completely refreshed my impression of Chinese movies. ”
"So even if it didn't do too well on the first day, I didn't lose the confidence to win, because the film deserved it, it was excellent, and the purpose of my existence was to give a good piece of advice to the audience who were still confused, so that they could get the money for the few dollars they spended. ”
"As it turned out, I was doing pretty well. When he said this, Albert had an indescribably smug look on his face.
"Why do I think you're just shit lucky. Not to be outdone, Albert was not angry, he felt that the victor should be tolerant of the loser, and in the face of Adolf's sarcasm, he even responded with a smile: "Even if it is as you say, then God is on my side." ”
Adolf stopped talking and remained silent in protest.
The next program flow is completely the two hosts constantly ridiculing Adolf, and then interspersed with Albert boasting about how accurate his vision is and how good he is as a film critic.
It wasn't until the show was about thirty minutes into the second half that a staff member finally led the donkey into the venue.
"Adolf, this is Miss Sendy. Mary couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Adolf's pale face.
"It's really cleaned, isn't it?" Adolf asked the staff, and got an affirmative answer, looking at the donkey in front of him, who was not paying any attention to himself, Adolf finally gritted his teeth and relented, and leaned down to touch the donkey's mouth under the gaze of everyone.
"Wow !!" accompanied by Adolf's kiss, there was a commotion at the scene, and the director in the background looked at the curve of the ratings, and he was already happy.
