Chapter 711: Long-legged Edward
The crew members of "The Undertaker" went to the location where Lionsgate held a celebration banquet, while Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi came to the Dolby Theater hall where the six major companies held the celebration banquet. 【】
Although the Dolby Theater has post-Oscar interviews, each hall is contracted by different companies, and Lionsgate didn't expect to win the award at all, so there was no place to celebrate at the Dolby Theater, let alone an interview space.
What's more, at the beginning, he didn't plan to give the crew of "The Undertaker" any chance to be on camera, nor did he have any interview sessions.
Liu Shishi took Gu Xiaofan's hand, and as soon as she entered the hall, she saw the brightly lit hall, full of the winners of this year's Oscars who were pouring glasses to celebrate, and most of the TV media reporters, most of them were stunned when they came in, and seemed surprised how they could appear here.
For most people, the name Gu Xiaofan is still a word that everyone keeps secret.
At this time, a person took the initiative to greet the two and greeted them warmly: "Hello, Director Gu, Miss Liu, you are finally here, Lily said that you will come, I don't believe it yet,"
Gu Xiaofan was very familiar with this voice, and soon remembered that he had heard the "Edward" in the toilet, and looked at it intently, and in front of him was a burly young man who was about thirty years old, with a strong body, a deep and atmospheric face, sparkling blue eyes, and a graceful gesture, which made people feel that he was very kind and extraordinary.
When Gu Xiaofan was a little confused, the person who came laughed in a low voice: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Lily's brother, Edward." ”
Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi exchanged glances, sure enough, it was Murdoch's youngest son, the three children of the old Murdoch, except for the second child who did not serve in his media empire, the eldest and the third child were the mainstays of News Corporation, I didn't expect to meet here today.
The three of them also greeted each other, but Gu Xiaofan didn't like this kind of super rich man very much, so he just deliberately laughed and joked:
"The name Edward is good, the long-legged Edward of England, this is the name of the king."
This tall and handsome Edward smiled faintly in Chinese: "Brother Xiao Fan really lifted me, but this name has a story, the two of you come over and let's talk slowly." ”
Edward used to be in charge of Star TV's business in China, and he spoke very well in Chinese, and he called Gu Xiaofan "Brother Xiaofan" more cordial, and his posture was extremely low.
At this time, in the distance, Lily, who was chatting with Disney's senior management, also waved her hand apologetically: "Edward, you help me take care of Shi Shi~"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll come back later." Edward nodded to his sister.
Edward brought the two to his seat, pulled out a chair and beckoned them to sit down, with great sincerity and no arrogance.
Gu Xiaofan's heart suddenly had a good impression of the heir of this news group, and Liu Shishi gently pushed his arm and whispered: "Look at everyone's demeanor, don't squeeze him later." ”
Edward smiled calmly, poured wine for the two of them, and said, "When I was a child, I was born very thin, and my legs were very long, so my mother thought it was called 'Edward with long legs'. ”
When Liu Shishi saw him talk about his mother, there was a sad look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of his family, and also thought that he hadn't been home for a long time, and sighed: "Have you not seen your mother for a long time?" ”
Edward nodded slightly, stared at the red wine swaying in the wine glass, and only returned to normal after a few seconds, and smiled:
"By the way, congratulations to the two of you, Black Feather Studio has won three awards in a row this time, which has shocked the whole of Hollywood, I came this time to see if we Fox can have a chance to cooperate with Black Feather Studio."
Gu Xiaofan thought to himself, he finally had to get to the point, this Fox wanted to borrow their hands to buy Warner, he couldn't agree to this, and said with a smile:
"Our studio has signed a contract with Warners, but I'm afraid we won't be able to cooperate with Fox in production, but you also know, hehe, the six major TV stations have blocked my news recently, and my video interviews can't be transmitted back to China, Edward, can you help me do a few interviews and broadcast them on your Fox TV."
Gu Xiaofan's words were obviously a bit of a scoundrel, not only not to agree to Edward's request, but also to take advantage of them, Liu Shishi was startled when she heard this, frowned and glared at Gu Xiaofan a few times, and said embarrassedly:
"Mr. Edward, don't be embarrassed, Gu Xiaofan is just joking, I know that you Fox TV have no time to interview the crew of "Slumdog Millionaire", how can you give us time for the interview......"
Edward smiled and said, "What's the problem, it's easy to do a joint interview." As he spoke, he took Gu Xiaofan's hand, took him to the interview area, introduced it to everyone, and began to arrange.
Now it's not just Liu Shishi, Gu Xiaofan is a little moved, no wonder News Corp has become stronger and stronger in recent years, this Edward's bearing and mind are much stronger than Warner's Abel......
Gu Xiaofan shook hands with everyone in "Slumdog Millionaire Crew", but couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, when he was drinking and chatting just now, red wine dripped onto his shirt collar, and there was an interview activity later, which seemed very inappropriate, after all, this was his first interview with global fans.
He wanted to ask Edward for help, but he couldn't see where the others had gone, and at this time, Liu Shishi was chatting with Lily and the two girls, and Gu Xiaofan was not easy to interrupt.
As he was hesitating, he suddenly saw someone tapping him on the arm from behind, and Edward smiled and handed him a white Armani shirt.
Gu Xiaofan noticed that he had taken off his suit and put on a round-necked woolen sweater, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is your shirt?" ”
"Yes, I hope Brother Xiaofan doesn't dislike it." Edward smiled:
"The nearest clothing store is a fifteen-minute drive from here, and I've already asked someone to buy it, but it's too late, so I can only let you be wronged."
Gu Xiaofan knew that Edward was wooing him at this time, but he was still impressed by his bearing.
At the same time as the celebration banquet and interview activities, the global media are also reporting on the grand occasion of this Oscars.
"British director Danny Boyle won Best Director! The director, who made a name for himself with Trainspotting, has finally become the new king of the Oscars!! Let's congratulate him!! ”
Galley Miller, the host of Fox TV, who was doing the live broadcast, said excitedly to the camera:
"And what is equally impressive today is the rise of young Asian filmmakers, and there is no doubt that "The Undertaker" has created a miracle for Chinese filmmakers, winning all three nominations! It has become the most successful Asian-themed film after Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won 4 awards in 2001!
Director Gu Xiaofan won the best foreign language film at the age of 22, which also set a new record for this award. ”
