Chapter 280: Elevator (Subscription Requested)
Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!
The banquet hall was full of people, everyone who won a heavyweight award was the center point of a circle, Charlize Theron was naturally no exception, when Matthew passed, she was surrounded by people, and it was difficult to go in and say hello for a while.
Scarlett Johansson took Matthew's arm, pulled him gently, looked up at Matthew, and said, "Or...... Shall we go first?"
Matthew looked down at her and asked directly, "Are you in a hurry?"
Scarlett Johansson didn't have any shyness, met Matthew's gaze, and said, "yes." ”
Matthew hooked a smile at the corner of his mouth and lowered his head to kiss it, Scarlett Johansson was a little surprised at first, but soon began to respond enthusiastically.
The ballroom was full of people, including stars, directors and producers, and there was no shortage of some media personalities.
The two of them were at the "Oscar Night" party, kissing in full view of everyone, and they didn't care that there were so many people around.
In an instant, many people looked at it together.
Scarlett Johansson immediately realized that although she was no longer a rookie, compared to Matthew's cheeky face, she still owed some heat, and immediately took a small step back, slightly widening the distance between her and Matthew.
Matthew smiled at her, seeing that there were fewer people on Charlize Theron's side, "I'll go say hi and I'll be right back." ”
Scarlett Johansson nodded, "I'll wait for you." ”
Regardless of the gazes around him, Matthew took a few steps in front of Charlize Theron, "Hi, Sally!"
He opened his arms, hugged Charlize Theron gently, and said, "Congratulations, Best Actress." ”
Charlize Theron politely hugged Matthew, "Thank you." ”
Matthew let go of his arm, took a step back, and said with a smile, "Oscar-winning actress, you are now on the front line! ”
For some reason, he faintly saw Stuart Townsend next to Charlize Theron's face seem to change.
In fact, there is no need to guess, Matthew also understands that an actor who is reluctant to even a third-tier star, but his girlfriend won the Oscar, if he has a good attitude, it is better to say, if he is unbalanced......
Thinking of the scene he saw in front of Depp's bar, he estimated that Charlize Theron might be in trouble lately.
But just think about this kind of thing, Matthew, as an outsider, is not good to say.
"Sally......" he asked Charlize Theron again, "how are you going to celebrate?"
Charlize Theron smiled and said, "I'll be back to South Africa next week, and as soon as the award ceremony is over, Mr. Mandela will call me, and I'll let you know when I come back from South Africa, wait for my call." ”
Matthew gestured to make a call, "Okay, I'll wait for your call." ”
He nodded to Stuart Townsend and turned to leave.
Maybe the Oscar-winning actress spell will find Charlize Theron.
This kind of curse has both career and emotional aspects, and since the beginning of the new century, the emotional aspect has become more prominent.
Matthew had also seen the hype on TMZ before attending the awards ceremony.
In 2001, Julia Roberts won the Academy Award for Best Actress for "Never Compromise", but 3 months later, she broke up with her handsome boyfriend Benjamin Blatter, who had been in love for 4 years.
In 2002, Halle Berry also won Best Actress for "Dance of Death Row Inmates". However, after that, Halle Berry and her husband Eric Bennett had a rift in their relationship, separated last year, and are currently in divorce proceedings.
In 2003, although Nicole Kidman had divorced early and had no hands to break up for the time being, she and Tom Cruise also staged a super tear between the divorced couple because of the complicated relationship between co-agent Pie Kinsley.
This fine Oscar tradition may be passed down.
In fact, there are many strong women and weak men in the circle, but the man's mentality must be good, otherwise it is easy to have problems.
Matthew also knows that Charlize Theron is not easy, and he can be called a typical example of climbing up all the way, and a person who once shot the cover of "Playboy" in the mid-nineties can finally win the Oscar, which is also absolutely inspirational.
Looking back at Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend, Matthew didn't think much about it, pulled up Scarlett Johansson and walked towards the outside of the banquet hall, many people's eyes were on them, the two had just had a hot kiss, and they couldn't wait to leave at this time, anyone could think of what would happen next.
In the corner of the banquet hall, Angelina Jolie has been paying attention to Matthew since the kiss, and her curious eyes have never left his side.
"That's right...... she muttered to herself, "you can't be wrong, this is that Matthew Horner!"
The guy who didn't even want a face for a little money is now mixed up with her in a banquet hall!
Even the other party's coffee position is not lower than her!
Originally, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress brought to her by "Soul Shifter", coupled with the fair box office performance of "Tomb Raider", had already touched the threshold of the first line, who knew that last year's "Tomb Raider 2" was a serious box office failure, which instantly knocked her back to the second line.
If it weren't for the fact that there were several other films that didn't perform too badly at the box office, her career as an actor would have inevitably suffered a serious blow.
Look at the despicable and shameless little person who could only envy her back then, but she actually got mixed up in Hollywood's first-line productions, and she has never starred in any first-line productions with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Angelina Jolie just made a slight comparison, and sadly found that the little person who couldn't even speak in front of her a few years ago actually ran in front of her!
Matthew knew that he was far from being the protagonist of the banquet hall, and the protagonist here would always be an Oscar winner, so he pulled Scarlett Johansson out of the banquet hall without hesitation.
"Where are we going?"
There were a lot of people in the corridor outside, and Scarlett Johansson seemed impatient and deliberately said, "Let's change to a hotel, I don't like it here." ”
"Well, I don't like it here. ”
This is exactly what Matthew wants, he pulls Scarlett Johansson and walks towards the less crowded side of the hallway, "There's an old elevator over there, wooden decoration, few people use it, let's go try it?"
Scarlett Johansson was a little moved, but she didn't forget the plan and said, "Aren't you going to another hotel?"
Matthew leaned into Scarlett Johansson's ear and said, "We've got a whole night, and we'll go to another hotel after trying." ”
In fact, what he thought was very simple, if the two walked out of the hotel in disheveled clothes and let the paparazzi found by Yelena Boyard and Sean Daniel take pictures, it would be easier to arouse people's associations.
Hearing Matthew say this, Scarlett Johansson quickened her pace, "I know that elevator, hurry up!"
While talking, the two turned into a secluded elevator room, Scarlett Johansson hurriedly pressed it, the elevator opened, and Matthew pulled her into the elevator.
In a small monitoring room in the hotel, two security guards are on night duty, and their main job every night is to monitor the situation of nearly 10 elevators in the hotel to ensure that the elevators can operate safely.
Facing numerous monitor screens, it has become the daily work of the two.
Unlike in the past, when they took turns sleeping and resting, the eyes of the two security guards were wide open tonight, and the "Oscar Night" party was taking place, and any unexpected situation in the hotel was enough to have a huge negative impact.
In the face of the hotel's strong order, the two security guards did not dare to slack off.
"Huh......"
The tall and thin security guard suddenly said to the fat security guard, "That old elevator is suspended!
"I'll pull up the surveillance and take a look. ”
The fat security guard immediately came to a monitor screen, picked up the mouse and operated, and the monitor opposite him immediately appeared in the old elevator.
"Uh......"
Seeing the picture on the monitor, the fat security guard was stunned, and subconsciously stabbed the thin man, and the thin man took a look and was also stunned.
In the elevator, a man and a woman are leaning on the opposite wall panel of the surveillance, although the two look completely clothed, the tall figure of the man basically covers the relatively short woman, and the specific situation is not clear, but from the woman's face on the man's shoulders and the movements of the two, anyone can see what they are doing.
The fat security guard subconsciously stretched out his hand to change the monitoring angle, but he still couldn't see the substance, but the picture on the monitor was enough to make people think about it.
"This is ......," the tall, lanky security guard came back to his senses and pointed to the screen, "the woman is Scarlett Johansson!...... The man is Matthew Horner, who played "Pirates of the Caribbean"!"
The fat security guard's eyes widened, looked at it for a moment, and said, "Yes! It's Matthew Horner and Scarlett Johansson!"
The tall and thin security guard reacted quickly, "Quick, quick, record!"
"The surveillance will be automatically recorded!" reminded the fat security guard, "and keep it for a while." ”
The tall and thin man said, "When we pass the exam, we will make a fortune!"
In Los Angeles, most people know that celebrity news and gossip can be exchanged for money.
The fat security guard hurriedly said, "I know a paparazzi, I guess it's ......."
"You can't sell paparazzi for a few bucks. The tall and thin man thought for a moment and said, "Recently, there is a TMZ website that has been buying these things at a high price......
He and the fat man looked at each other and laughed together.
The elevator was quickly back in operation, and the two security guards didn't care about the two people who got out of the elevator, so they quickly found a storage device, copied the video from the hard drive, and completely deleted it after the test in order to prevent others from getting it.
The elevator went down to the first floor, Matthew and Scarlett Johansson tidied up a little and walked towards the hotel lobby together, both of them were wearing extremely well-fitting dresses, which were impossible to restore to the original after just messing up.
Entering the hotel lobby, Matthew made a phone call and said, "I've called a car, let's go out." ”
Since there was no real physical contact before, Scarlett Johansson was now itching and urging, "Hurry up." ”
She took Matthew's arm and followed him out of the hotel, no one seemed to notice them, a black Mercedes sedan slowly approached, and just as the two wanted to get into the car, more than a dozen reporters appeared from different places, and the cameras in their hands were all aimed at the two men.
When he got in the car, Matthew was a little strange, as if there were a lot more reporters to follow than planned.
Scarlett Johansson glanced back, could it be that some new reporters were contacted?
