Chapter 279: Goal Determination (Subscription Requested)

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

After just one glance, Matthew withdrew his gaze, what can and cannot be done, he can still tell the difference, and his head is not flooded, and he will not choose Caesar Custer Hewis as a target.

As time went on, more and more people entered the Kodak theater, and Johnny Depp also came over with his wife Vanessa, Matthew stood up and gave Depp a gentle hug, and greeted Vanessa again.

The two of them sat on Matthew's right-hand side, and Matthew's left-hand side was the seating area for another crew.

"How?" Matthew didn't have to beat around the bush with Johnny Depp and asked directly, "What are the chances of winning the prize?"

Johnny Depp shrugged slightly, "I'm the youngest of the five nominations to win." ”

Matthew patted his arm lightly, "It's a pity, I don't have the right to decide, otherwise I will definitely give you ten best actor statuettes." ”

"Then the Oscars are finished. Johnny Depp was also not polite to Matthew, "Don't talk about the right to decide, can you vote?"

Matthew shook his head, "No. He didn't care, "I'm not a member of the Academy. ”

The next seating area was occupied one after another, and Matthew saw several familiar figures, such as Sophia Coppola, the first American woman to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Director by the media craze recently.

When he saw her, Matthew knew that on the left was the seating area of the crew of "Lost in Translation".

At this moment, a girl in a red low-cut evening dress came to Matthew's left-hand position alone, glanced at him, and sat down on the seat.

Matthew also glanced at her, the girl was no more than twenty years old, her curly blonde hair was draped over her shoulders, she was plump and sexy, but her height was a disadvantage, making her proportions look a little out of balance.

The seats were next to each other, and it was an actor in a circle, and Matthew stretched out his right hand and automatically greeted, "Hello, Miss Johnson." ”

The blonde girl looked at him again, a smile suddenly piled up on her face, and squeezed his hand lightly, "Hello, Mr. Horner. ”

It was clear that she knew Matthew.

"Call me Matthew. Matthew smiled like a sunny smile, "Can I call you Scarlett?"

He said eagerly, "I watched "Eight-legged Monster" last year, and I was thinking, how can a girl be so beautiful?"

Scarlett Johansson smiled, her voice a little hoarse, "That's a terrible work. ”

Matthew followed up and said, "It's precisely your existence that makes that movie the biggest attraction, and without you, "Eight-Legged Monster" would be ten times worse." ”

Last year, when he was bored, he watched the tape of this film.

Scarlett Johansson, who is not very old but has a lot of knowledge, suddenly said, "You are very good at pleasing girls." ”

"Because like Miss Johnson, no...... A girl like Scarlett, you ......" Matthew made a serious look, "shouldn't you be flattered by everyone?"

Hearing this, Scarlett Johansson couldn't help but laugh, and she spoke very directly, "You're funny, Matthew Horner." ”

Matthew stopped bothering Johnny Depp on the other side and said, "Just call me Matthew." ”

Scarlett Johansson looked at him and nodded slightly, "My friends call me Mannie." ”

"Oh......" Matthew was a little strange, "is this your Christian name?"

"It's not. Scarlett Johansson shook her head slightly, "This is the name of the character in one of the films I starred in, "Mannie and Rowee", I don't like people to call me Scarlett, so they call me Mannie, and I slowly got used to it." ”

Matthew nodded, "That's where it came from. ”

Scarlett Johansson added, "So, some people think I'm a weird girl. ”

"You're good. Matthew thought for a moment and said, "I think you're very cheerful and talkative. ”

"None of this is as good as you. Scarlett Johansson meant something.

She looked up at Matthew again, who was obviously a few years older than herself, and had a vague wild temperament.

Although this man took the initiative to talk, she was sure that she didn't hate it at all, and felt that this man looked quite good in terms of figure and appearance.

Thinking of the plan made by the agent and the publicity and public relations of "Escape from Clone Island", it seems that this is a good target candidate.

First of all, this person's appearance is very much in line with her requirements, looking at the muscles tight under the shirt, you can imagine that he is a macho man; secondly, there has been a lot of news about him recently, and he is also recognized as one of the male stars who attracted the most attention from the media and fans last year.

"Escape from Clone Island" is her first time starring in a commercial production, once it fails, she can only go back to the independent circle and continue to suffer, if she wants to make a lot of money, I don't know how many years she will have to wait.

Scarlett Johansson chatted with Matthew for a while, and while the awards ceremony hadn't started yet, she found an excuse to go to the back rows.

In the row of seats behind the guest area, she found her agent, and seeing that no one else had come around, she lowered her voice and said, "Coincidentally, the person sitting next to me is Matthew Horner, he didn't bring a female companion, I chatted with him for a few words, and it felt good." ”

"Matthew Horner?" the agent said, glancing ahead, "yes, this is one of the most popular second-tier stars at the moment, and it has been attracting attention since the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" last year. ”

Scarlett Johansson was ready to go back, and before leaving, she said, "Get ready." ”

Seeing Scarlett Johansson leave, Matthew took out his phone adjusted to silent mode and sent a text message to Helen Herman, who just received Helen Herman's reply and glanced at it, and Scarlett Johansson walked back.

Seeing that the award ceremony had not yet started, the two chatted again, and the more they talked, the hotter they became, the more speculative they became, and they all looked like they were meeting each other.

"Manny......" Matthew said tentatively, "do you have any arrangements for the end of the party?"

Scarlett Johansson touched the wings of her nose, which had a little mark from wearing a nose ring, "I'm going to a Vanity Fair dinner." ”

Matthew answered, "Me too." ”

Scarlett Johansson smiled and said, "We're all in this together." ”

"Yes!" replied Matthew.

The music played on the stage in front of them, the camera camera turned, Matthew and Scarlett Johansson temporarily stopped talking, and their eyes turned to the Oscar stage, perhaps because of the disastrous ratings of the past few years, this year's awards ceremony is not only more gorgeous, but also has a bit of a retro taste of the 90s.

Renowned comedy star Billy Crystal once again served as the host of the Oscars.

From the beginning of the awards ceremony, the crew of "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" was particularly strong, and less than a third of the party went on, they took away four technical awards.

And Matthew's crew has always held the record of zero statuettes.

In the past, a super-hit commercial film like "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" has always won one or two inconsequential technical awards, but this year was too unlucky, just in time for the finale of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and when there were only the last four awards left, there was still nothing.

Pirates of the Caribbean is destined to go home empty-handed tonight.

Matthew doesn't care, his energy is not on the Oscars at all, throughout the awards ceremony, except for the occasional camera sweeping, the rest of the time will find opportunities to whisper to Scarlett Johansson, trying his best to make substantial progress tonight.

The four most important awards were not at all different from what was predicted, Sean Penn won Best Actor, Charlize Theron won Best Actress, and Peter Jackson and its "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" took away Best Director and Best Picture respectively.

"Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" became the biggest winner tonight, winning all of the eleven Oscar nominations!

The Oscars are over, but this Oscar night has only just begun.

"I'm waiting for you inside the hotel. ”

Coming to the exit of the Kodak Theatre and before getting into the car, Matthew said to Scarlett Johansson, "I'll wait for you at the door of the ballroom, I'll see you later." ”

Scarlett Johansson smiled and nodded, "I'll see you later." ”

She turned and got into the car not far behind, where the agent was sitting in the back seat of the car waiting for Scarlett Johansson.

Matthew got into his car, and Helen Herman was unsurprisingly in the car.

Two luxury cars, separated by several other cars, drove out of the Walk of Fame and headed towards Beverly Hills, and not long after they stopped in front of a red-carpeted hotel, where the "Oscar Night" party hosted by "Vanity Fair" had just begun.

"Remember, Matthew!"

Before getting out of the car, Helen Herman told Matthew, "Be sure to take her out and open a room in another hotel." ”

She whispered again, "Yelena's men and the tabloid reporters that Sean invited will be guarding the door. ”

Matthew nodded, "Don't worry, I know." ”

He got out of the car, flashed the lights to meet the reporters, waved and smiled across the red carpet, entered the hotel, and then took the elevator to the huge ballroom on the top floor of the hotel.

Standing at the door of the banquet hall and waiting for a while, Scarlett Johansson, who was in hot shape, walked in.

"Hey, Scarlett!" Matthew beckoned, "over here!"

Scarlett John walked over, naturally took Matthew's arm, and said, "Let's go say hello to the host, this kind of banquet is a bit boring." ”

Matthew glanced at her, understood what he meant, and said to himself, when did I become so attractive? Of course he wouldn't refuse, and said, "Okay." By the way, tonight's Best Actress is my friend, and I would like to congratulate Xiang as well. ”

Scarlett Johansson nodded, took Matthew and went to Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, to say hello, and then found Charlize Theron, one of the focal points of the ballroom.
