King of Hollywood

Chapter 396: Chapter 118: Digression

“Is it a film you can tell me about, Adrian? I promise I won’t tell the media.” Sitting on a bench in Central Park where she had often sat before, Natalie asked with a grin.

“Hmm… alright, I’ll tell you, but you must keep it a secret,” Adrian thought for a moment and then cautioned, “It’s a Stanley Kubrick film.”

Natalie blinked in surprise, “…Sorry, did I hear you incorrectly, or did you make a mistake, Adrian? I was asking about your new film, not someone else’s.”

“Ha, I always thought you were clever, Nata, but it seems you can be confused sometimes too,” Adrian laughed heartily.

“Hey, playing a trick on a young girl is not gentlemanly behavior,” Natalie scolded, waving her fist.

“Alright, alright,” Adrian switched to a “surrendering” gesture, “you know who Stanley Kubrick is, right?”

“Of course, one of the most outstanding film directors in the world, his works are few but cover various genres. It has been said that once he made a film in a certain genre, other directors might as well put their cameras down.”

“So have you heard the news recently that Kubrick became paralyzed in bed because of a stroke?”

“Really? I didn’t know, I rarely watch entertainment news, oh, that’s terrible.”
