Chapter 795 795. Donkey Kiss
"SHIT, is that program team so impatient?" Adolf couldn't help but cursed, knowing that things were inevitable.
That kind of bet in front of a national audience, even if he wanted to deny it, but when he thought of the people's condemnation of his credibility, he had to hold his nose and accept the punishment.
"Adolf, you also know that those people on the TV station are all profit-seeking guys. They want to suck the last drop of our blood. How can they let you go, especially now that "Assassin's League" is on the air, it is a good opportunity to officially hype this topic." There was also a hint of helplessness in the man's tone.
He understood what the TV station was thinking when he received the notice. In fact, since the sudden rise of "Assassin's League", he has already contacted Albert, the bettor, or Nie Wei, the person directly related to the bet.
It is a pity that the former did not relent at all, and as the latter was the client, he did not even get the contact information. As for going to the hotel where Nie Wei stayed, he did not even see Nie Wei, and was isolated by a group of bodyguards. , no matter how he explained it, those guys who looked like they had muscles on their heads just remained unmoved.
So at this moment, he could only persuade Adolf to happily agree to fulfill the contract, so that he could at least leave a good impression on the American audience of keeping his promise, just like Buckley did when he kissed the donkey's butt, but instead let He is even more famous in the United States, and his popularity even caught up with him during his active duty period.
"Adolf, you can actually imagine that what Buckley kissed was a donkey's butt. At least you kissed the mouth. From a psychological point of view, I think the mouth is still more acceptable than the butt."
"No, I don't think I can accept either one." Adolf replied painfully, but after complaining, he still agreed not easily: "Edson, I understand, losing is losing, and I will accept it. I am willing to cooperate with the program team anytime, anywhere.”
"It's best if you can figure it out. Don't worry, all you need to do is give it a light touch like Buckley did. And I promise that the show crew will wash that donkey clean and put your favorite one on it." Rose perfume.”
"Thank you very much for your comfort." Adolf hung up the phone with a sad look on his face.
On the other side, Albert, who had just received the notification, looked high-spirited. Who made him the final winner?
Although he felt a little sorry for Adolf who was taken advantage of by him, he was more excited because through this bet, he not only gained some popularity in the United States, but also achieved his reputation as a precise visionary in the industry. .
After all, when he supported "Assassin's League", almost all entertainment media in North America were not optimistic about him, and many reports even said that this was a bet that he would lose.
But now the result is that he slapped everyone in the face and had the last laugh.
Of course, Albert knew in his heart that he was just giving it a try. In fact, he didn't believe that "League of Assassins" would be so successful. Even in the overwhelming media reports, he was already ready to kiss a donkey. I even lost sleep for two nights in a row.
But none of this is important anymore. He is the winner now. He only cares about the result of this victory. As for the starting point and the process, are the starting point and process important? Anyway, for Albert, it was an existence that he decided to forget.
"Hey, brother, let me tell you some good news." Just when Albert was thinking about what to say to Adolf during the recording of the show that night, his agent called.
"What's the good news?" As soon as he heard that it was good news, Albert's spirit was immediately shaken.
"I got a call from a well-known clothing store. They want to sponsor your outfit for tonight's recording of the show. Brother, you don't need to worry about which clothes to wear at night to look less shabby. I know that store. , the cheapest clothes in the store are more expensive than the clothes in your wardrobe!" the agent reported excitedly.
Sponsorship and endorsements are undoubtedly a more accurate criterion for identifying whether an artist has really become popular. Whether you are a host, a singer, or an actor, only you have real commercial value. These sponsorships and endorsements will find you.
Sure enough, upon hearing the good news, Albert jumped up from the sofa with excitement.
"Oh, brother, you are so right. I have long been tired of the cheap shirts and suits in my wardrobe. Now I can't wait to wear those designer suits. Do you think I should change my hairstyle? I think the current hairstyle is a little bit boring.”
Albert asked excitedly as he looked in the mirror.
"Don't worry, I have already contacted a well-known barber for you. He has designed hair for many big stars in Hollywood. I guarantee that you will be the most handsome among all the black guys tonight." The agent praised. After asking Albert for a while, he said: "What you have to do now is to get ready. I will drive to your house right away. We will do a haircut first, and then go to the clothing store. You have to wear your best clothes tonight." Gorgeous jersey, overnight fame! ”
"Yes, I want to become famous, I want to soar into the sky!" Albert's eyes flashed with ambition. At this time, he was no longer satisfied with being a special film critic for a newspaper column. He wanted to be like Adolf. No, a movie critic 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 thinks that one day he will be able to determine the rise or fall of a movie's box office with just one word.
Because this was a bet that caused a sensation, the TV station specially made the program a live broadcast.
At nine o'clock that night, more than 10 million viewers across the United States locked onto this channel at the same time, including Nie Wei.
After all, this is a bet about "Assassin's League", and it is also the fuse that changes the box office performance of "Assassin's League". Moreover, this matter itself aroused great interest in Nie Wei. To put it bluntly, Nie Wei Wei also started to gossip.
The program started on time at 9:10. When the screen cut to the live broadcast room, the two hosts and the two guests were already ready, and the location arrangement was also very interesting. It was originally just a row of sofas, but now it became a dialogue between each other. Sitting, it is obvious that this arrangement is to reflect the opposing feelings of the two guests.
"I believe many viewers were deeply impressed by our last program. In the last program, the two guests Albert and Adolf made a bet that attracted the attention of all Americans, that is, about a movie. The box office performance of the movie." Speaking of this, the host began to ask his partner.
"Mary, do you remember what the bet was?"
"Of course." The female host Mary shook her shoulders and said with a smile: "I see countless people reminding me of this bet on the Internet every day. I think unless I suffer from Alzheimer's like my grandma, otherwise I will Will not forget it.”
"The two made a bet about the box office of "League of Assassins". I remember the condition was that as long as "League of Assassins" won a weekly box office championship or ranked among the top three at the Christmas box office, then Albert would win. , otherwise Adolf won. As for the bet, I believe everyone in the United States knows that it is to kiss the donkey." Mary said.
As soon as he finished speaking, 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 that your mother is half French, and I thought you would like French wet kisses." Mary was not embarrassed by having her lie exposed at all, and was not angry with Adolf for saying that she had Alzheimer's disease. Instead, she was very combative. Adolf was given a reason that left him speechless.
"If it's you, I'm willing, but if it's a donkey, forget it." Adolf was already in a state of mind, and at this time he didn't forget to flirt with the beautiful host.
But Mary is not the kind of woman who can be teased easily. After so many years of hosting career, she has long developed a vicious tongue.
"Adolf, don't talk about me. I think after you kissed the donkey, your mother might not want to kiss you again." These words, coupled with Mary's disgusted expression, made the whole audience laugh except for the black-faced Adolf. Everyone was laughing.
Albert, in particular, smiled the most exaggeratedly, leaning forward and back. His large movements made others fearful, fearing that he would fall over the sofa in the next second.
And looking at Albert's proud look, Adolf's face turned even darker.
"Ahem, everyone, don't laugh. Please leave the last dignity to Mr. Adolf." The male host finally stood up and interrupted the happy atmosphere, and then asked Mary to announce what happened in "Assassin's League" in the past week. Achievements achieved.
After Mary read the results of "Assassin's League", the host continued: "So now "Assassin's League" has won the box office championship in its first week, which also means that Mr. Adolf lost the original bet. Mr. Adolf, did you ever think that you would lose so quickly? After all, it has only been a week. I remember when you made the bet a week ago, you said that you were 100% sure about the bet."
"In fact, I still find it incredible. After all, before this movie, no movie dominated by Chinese elements could achieve such excellent results. Of course, it is also possible that, as some media said, I moved it myself. It's a stone that hits myself in the foot. Without this bet, perhaps "League of Assassins" would not have achieved such good results," Adolf replied bitterly.
"Do you feel that you are unwilling to lose?" Mary asked sharply after listening to Adolf's words.
If Adolf shows any reluctance, no matter whether he kisses the donkey or not tonight, he will be looked down upon by the audience and feel that he cannot afford to lose.
But Adolf was not a fool. How could he fall into the trap of a bitch like Mary so easily? So after Mary asked this question, Adolf gave the answer without hesitation.
"No, I am convinced of this failure. After all, the results are there, which makes any excuse pale in front of these results." Adolf's expression became much calmer at this moment. He even took the initiative to ask the host when the donkey would be brought in. He wanted to end this session quickly.
"You may not understand my feelings. I am like a death row prisoner now. I know I will get a bullet in the end, but the waiting process is actually the most terrifying thing, so it is better to make a quick decision to save me from being anxious all the time. ”
"Please wait patiently. Our Miss Sendi is not mentally prepared to be kissed by you yet. Please give her some more time, unless you are not afraid of being kicked by her." Mary would not agree to Adolf so easily. The task given to her by the TV station today was to tease Adolf fiercely and bring out all the entertainment value in him.
Adolf was frowning. God knows when the people arranged by the program team will be able to appease the donkey. He now feels that there is a sword of Damocles on his head, which may fall off at any time.
After teasing the loser Adolf for a long time, the program team will naturally not forget the winner Albert.
"I was very confident when I made the bet. You may not believe it. I watched this movie no less than a hundred times just by watching the trailer. When it was officially released, I watched it three times a day. I was amazed at its excellent production and completely refreshed my impression of Chinese movies."
"So even if its performance on the first day was not very good, I did not lose confidence in the final victory, because this movie deserves this performance. It is excellent, and the meaning of my existence is to give the confused audience a good suggestion so that the few dollars they spend can be worth it."
"It turns out that I did a good job." When saying this, Albert had an indescribable smug look on his face.
"Why do I think you are just lucky?" Adolf said sarcastically, but Albert was not angry. He thought that the winner should be tolerant of the loser. Facing Adolf's sarcasm, he even smiled and responded: "Even if it is as you said, God is on my side."
Adolf stopped talking and protested in silence.
The following program process was completely the two hosts constantly teasing Adolf, and then interspersed with Albert bragging about how accurate his vision was and how good he was as a film critic.
Until the program was almost 30 minutes in and had entered the second half, a staff member finally led the donkey into the venue.
"Adolf, this is Miss Sandy." Mary looked at Adolf's pale face and couldn't help laughing.
"It has been cleaned carefully, right?" Adolf asked the staff and got a positive answer. Looking at the donkey in front of him who didn't pay any attention to himself, Adolf finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Under the gaze of everyone, he leaned down and touched the donkey's mouth.
"Wow!!!" Along with Adolf's kiss, there was a burst of booing at the scene, and the director in the backstage was also very happy when he saw the ratings curve.
