Chapter 125: At the Party

Patiently waiting for Gina Davis to give an excited acceptance speech, Eric walked off the stage with the other party and returned to his seat.

What followed was a long three-hour run, and the nomination for Best Score was negligible, and Eric just laughed over and over again at the not-so-funny jokes of the guests on stage.

As a young man who has only been in Hollywood for half a year and has achieved great things, Eric has been ridiculed by the guests on stage more than once, so the camera lens often sweeps over him, and from time to time there is a close-up, in this case, Eric does not even have a chance to wander. But Eric didn't feel so boring, but instead compared the difference between the Oscars more than a decade later and the present.

After a few hours, Eric's biggest feeling is that the Oscars of this era have not yet embarked on a more extreme art film route, and most of the award-winning works, such as commercial films, are more commercial. And more than ten years later, the Oscars have almost become the stage for politically correct main theme films and extremely niche films, and actors can either play great men or patients as long as they intend to go for awards.

More than two hours later, most of the major awards have been awarded. After the Best Cinematography award, the Best Animated Short Film award was finally ushered in. Everyone knows that this award will be followed by the heavyweight Best Actor, so they are all looking forward to the Best Short Film award coming soon.

Perhaps also feeling the anticipation of the guests in the audience, Kelly Fisher, who has participated in the series, opened the envelope and read: "The winner of the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film is, John Lasseter." ”

In the midst of the applause, Virginia glanced at Eric again, and after receiving a look of encouragement, she got up and walked to the stage.

Kelly Fisher's list of winners is obviously male, but it was a sexy beauty in a royal blue bandeau dress who took the stage, and the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but ask.

"Who is this?"

"What a beautiful beauty!"

"It's strange that there is a woman named John!"

The organizer was obviously premeditated, after Virginia walked on stage, the camera position was directly in front of Eric, giving him a big close-up, Eric secretly scolded, and in desperation, he could only sit upright, staring ahead without any expression, as if he didn't know that a camera was giving him a close-up.

But this kind of nonsensical cover-up didn't have much effect, and the guests around him invariably looked at Eric with a playful smile after Virginia took the stage, which made him even more irrelevant.

Viewers who paid a little attention to the gossip news in front of the TV quickly remembered the identity of Virginia, the beauty who is said to be about to star in the heroine of a movie written by Eric himself.

In the Manhattan apartment in New York, Aniston nestled on the sofa, holding a furry bear, staring at the TV screen motionless all night, hoping to see her boyfriend's camera again, and even expecting those award presenters to tease him a few more words, but every time she saw Eric, she would involuntarily distract her eyes to Virginia who was sitting next to Eric, and the furry bear in her hand would be affected for a while.

And seeing the scene when Virginia came to the stage to accept the award, Xiao 丨 Niu couldn't help it anymore, muttered a word of Bichi, pouted her little mouth and pulled it fiercely, as if she was tearing the hair of a ** boyfriend woman, and at the same time, the poor fluffy bear in her arms lost a handful of hair.

"No, I'm going back tomorrow," Aniston vented, no longer paying attention to the interest of the next award, and went into the bedroom in a hurry and began to pack her luggage, and at the same time remembered what her father persuaded her, if you really care about this feeling, it is best to stay by his side, no sincere feelings can withstand the distance of consumption. And if you feel that you can't hold on, then give up early to avoid more pain.

"I don't want to give up, why should I give up on him for those little Bichi!" kept muttering, and the little girl neatly packed a lot of clothes, and finally found the key to Eric's mansion, stuffed it into her satchel, and picked up the phone to dial the airline's booking number.

Almost at the same time that Virginia was on the podium, Jennifer Connelly was watching the scene on cable TV in a hotel in Rome, the capital of Italy.

After the girl rejected Eric that night, she had to return to Europe again, and took the initiative to ask for some reshoots, as the agent said, she had just given up an important opportunity, so she couldn't cut off connections in Europe, it was at the age of thirteen that she starred in the famous Italian director Sergio Leone Deborah, she gained the recognition of the Italian film circle, and now she only has this available connection.

Connelly was also sensitive to the fact that her agent was much colder to her, and Lester was more focused on several other artists under him during this time, and paid less and less attention to himself. Even this trip to Rome, the other party did not come with him.

Every time Connery thinks about his decision a few days ago, he accumulates a layer of remorse. After the close-up of Eric sitting in the TV appeared, Connery couldn't help but take the lady's handbag next to him, pull out the communication, and look at the string of numbers that had been deeply imprinted in his mind again.

"Is it still useful to call him now?" Connelly muttered to himself as he stared blankly at the communication in his hand.

Although she was far away in Rome, Connelly still read the sporadic news in the guò newspaper and learned that the roles had all been confirmed, although the list of other actors had not been exposed except for the two male leads, but she knew that she must not have her own share. If he calls again, it is impossible for Eric to replace others for him to play, Connery feels that Eric is not the boss of those movie giants, and the film projects in his hands are very limited, and it is impossible to have a suitable role for him at any time, and she will not get any benefit from making this call.

Virginia was satisfied to be able to show her face on the Oscar podium, and the girl did not make any unexpected moves, she took the little golden man in an orderly manner, took out a copy of the acceptance speech that Eric had stuffed her in advance, and read it, and followed the presenters to the backstage.

It was no surprise that Best Actor was won by Dustin Hoffman, who had a wonderful performance, followed by two technical awards, and when the Best Director was about to be awarded, Virginia returned to her seat with the little golden man, her charming face was flushed, coupled with the mature charm exuded from her body, which caused several men around to turn their eyes to the girl, and at the same time secretly envy Eric's Yanfu.

Although it was not the time to speak, Virginia glanced at Eric affectionately, and her gratitude was palpable.

After winning Best Picture without any surprises, the three-hour ceremony finally came to an end, and then it was time to send duì. The famous Oscar vanity Fair faction will only appear in a few years, but it does not mean that the stars will go back to their respective homes after the Oscars are over.

There is not a single award, of course, there will be no celebration faction, although the Runkel couple, who are keen on this circle after leaving, want to take the little Stu to some pie duì to get acquainted, but unfortunately the little guy sat in the award hall for three hours, and now he is tired and drowsy (of course, it may also be pretended), and the Runkels can only take their son home directly in disappointment.

Because there were more people, Virginia didn't hold Eric, and waited for Eric to keep greeting the acquaintances around him before leaning over him and asking, "Eric, where are we going next?"

Eric took the little golden figure that Virginia carefully held in his hand and played with it, and said: "What do you say, I just received several invitations from the party, the crew, as well as Warner and Disney, oh, before Amy said that Columbia will also hold a party." ”

Virginia thought for a moment, and said uncertainly, "Or?"

Eric snapped his fingers, "I think so too, the celebration party duì is at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Beverly Hills, and after participating in the party duì go home, you don't have to run long distances like Hilton." ”

After making their decision, the two found Kapoor Sid and drove to the Sunset Tower Hotel together.

As the big winner of this year's Oscars, the crew's celebration banquet was undoubtedly the grandest and grandest, and Eric's arrival was also welcomed by Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman, and a group of directors and producers.

After walking around the crowd, greeting and chatting with people he knew or didn't know, Cruise suddenly pushed Eric aside and said to Virginia, who had been holding Eric's arm, "Miss Madsen, I want to talk to Eric alone." ”

After entering the pie duì for so long, Virginia has been tired of being by Eric's side, and she is actually a little careful in her heart, she herself hooked up with Eric on the pie duì, and she definitely doesn't want other women to do the same. Now that Cruise himself spoke, Virginia, although dissatisfied, could only nod and leave.

"Eric, I have a new idea, you see, can we shoot like this......" Cruise chased Virginia away without any psychological pressure, and began to tell Eric about his new ideas for the plot.

Eric listened carefully to Cruise's tirade, patiently waited for the other party to finish, and then got free to summarize all of Cruise's points of view, and summed it up in one sentence: add drama!
