As soon as the door of the cloakroom opened, Austin's footsteps couldn't help but stop, and Lance, who was half a step slower, also braked suddenly, and when he raised his head, he saw Gwyneth who was slightly flustered, she didn't seem to expect someone to come out, nodded apologetically, and then pointed in the direction of the cloakroom, "Sorry, I didn't know someone would come out." ”

Austin politely waved his hand, but instead moved out of the way, gentlemanly letting Gwyneth go in.

Gwyneth's gaze turned to Lance, those clear eyes with a shallow light of water, meeting Lance's eyes, trying to establish a connection through her eyes, with a hint of kindness in her weakness, you can clearly feel the friendly aura on her body, which is very rare for Gwyneth, who has always been arrogant.

Lance didn't care about Gwyneth's changes, wasn't curious, and didn't intend to pay attention to them, they were just ordinary Hollywood colleagues. If Lance now has a project in hand that has a role for Gwyneth, then he won't ignore that choice because of personal vendetta - Gwyneth can contribute to the box office of the movie and make him a lot of money, so why not; But the problem is, not at the moment.

Lance nodded politely to Gwyneth, then moved out of the way and made a gentlemanly gesture of invitation.

Gwyneth's gaze remained on Lance, trying to find the slightest response, but unfortunately, she was disappointed. An indescribable anger hit her heart, but at the same time, a gesture of trying to give in took control of her brain, and perhaps she should have taken the initiative to speak up and show weakness to Lance, but her pride did not allow it.

How she broke up with Lance coldly, and chose to leave when Lance was at its lowest and most desperate, and now unconsciously, Lance has grown into an existence that she needs to look up to, and that huge gap torments her all the time, and even laughs at her.

After hesitating, Gwyneth withdrew her gaze, smiled a grateful smile at Austin, and stepped forward. Her pride and pride prevailed. As soon as she entered the cloakroom, she heard Austin's gentleman's voice say hello, "Ma'am." Then the sound of footsteps faded away on the carpet, and the door to the cloakroom closed again.

Gwyneth slowly closed her eyes, and she couldn't tell what the intricate emotion on the tip of her tongue was.

Austin didn't notice the surging emotion - or maybe he did, but didn't show any signs - and he continued the conversation with Lance, and the two of them returned to the first floor and joined in the party tonight. After chatting for a while, the two men said goodbye to each other, and Lance was quickly surrounded by people again.

While no journalists were allowed to attend Oscar night, mainly to protect the privacy of the artists, the editors of the magazines were the guests of honor because they controlled the entire Hollywood propaganda channel, and the editors-in-chief of magazines such as Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, and Variety were as popular and respected as A-list artists.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lance met three magazine editors, including the famous Anna-Wintour, the real-life prototype of the "Queen Wears Prada", who is in charge of the American edition of the world's most authoritative, popular and top fashion magazine "Vogue", and its position in the fashion circle can be described as the top of the pyramid, even in Hollywood, it cannot be underestimated.

Anna sent an invitation to Lance to be the cover of the April issue of Vogue magazine, which was a great honor for Lance - in the entire history of Vogue, male artists could be counted on one hand.

"Wow, people have been saying it all the time, and now a lot of people are talking about me, and now I finally have some real feelings. So, am I comparing to David Beckham? Lance's response made Anna smile slightly, and under the polite social mask, there was a glimmer of light in her eyes, "No, I think maybe someone would be more appropriate." Anna raised her chin as she spoke, and Lance followed Anna's gaze, and then saw Johnny Depp fluttering.

In the past few years after the big victory of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it can be called the peak of Johnny's career, almost at the box office and awards, he is not only the most profitable actor in the United States today, but also the most popular man in the United States at present, almost sweeping the lists/sexy/sexy men.

"I hope you're talking about good things." Johnny has a bohemian and wandering temperament, and even in a modest black suit, his long flowing hair and smoky makeup have a distinctive taste. In a word, Lance and Anna both chuckled. "You're definitely the center of attention tonight, I'm just here to pay my respects, and then ask, am I suitable for the male lead in the next work?"

Johnny's words were obviously said to Lance, which was originally just a normal conversation on Oscar night, but Lance heard the deep meaning, could it be a hint at the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean", but Lance's pupils shrank slightly - is this a positive signal or a negative signal?

Anna seemed to smell something abnormal, teased a few words and excused herself to leave. Lance then half-jokingly said, "I thought your next plan was to shoot Captain Jack Sparrow, you know, people are now looking forward to the next legendary adventure of the captain." ”

Johnny shrugged, "Oh, this is obviously an adrenaline-packed adventure, and I can't wait to set sail again." Johnny didn't look at Lance, just smiled and talked as if it were just a casual chatter, a small detail that seemed to hint at something, "You know, when we first started preparing Captain Jack Sparrow, almost everyone thought we were crazy, including myself. Johnny pointed at himself and chuckled.

Gore always insisted that it was the right thing to do, though, and he convinced Jerry, and then together they convinced the big bosses to let us go for the toss. God, it's hard to imagine how difficult a movie can be before filming begins. Johnny exaggeratedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Lance earnestly, "Can you imagine?" ”

Johnny's eyes were firmly fixed on Lance this time, as if the question couldn't have been more serious. Lance pursed his lips slightly, and said with a chuckle, "I'm afraid I can't." ”

"But that's not the end of it." Johnny seemed satisfied with Lance's answer, and smiled brightly, "After the filming of the movie was finished, during the editing process, the movie was almost shot again, and it was almost impossible to make it to the big screen. In the end, it was Gore and Jerry who worked together to make sure our hard work was not in vain. Jesus Christ, during that time, our entire cast was worried and scared, especially Kayla, you know, when she was filming the scene at sea, she threw up so much that she took seasickness medicine and went straight to sleep. If there is no way for the movie to be released, it will be a disaster. ”

"The audience is lucky, aren't they?" Lance felt Johnny's gaze cast again, and he said.

"Huh." Johnny laughed out loud and patted Lance on the shoulder, "It should be said that we are lucky that our work has been recognized. Who would have thought that the story of pirates could rise again? Lance raised an eyebrow, intending to speak, but Johnny didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued, "Look at me, I've been talking about my own business, and tonight should be yours." This is the second time he has mentioned this sentence, almost the same words, but the actual actions are different.

"I think there are countless people who care about your next work tonight, so I won't delay your time, otherwise those producers will settle accounts with me." Johnny said wittily, then patted Lance on the arm again and turned away.

Lance stood still, looking meaningfully at Johnny's back as he left.

The second, the second person to come and warn him not to take over "Pirates of the Caribbean", Kayla was the first, and she gave a kind reminder at the Oscar nomination luncheon. In less than two weeks, he received a second "friendship" advice.

Johnny's words were the same thing: there was a lot of unity within the crew, they had worked together to create the hard-won success, and they were looking forward to the sequel, but they didn't welcome a bystander to join in. Among them, Gore and Jerry are undoubtedly the most important core link, all the actors support them, and their hearts are together.

Lance thought it was a very funny thing, even ridiculous.

In fact, Lance had already made the decision that if his script idea was rejected, then he would make a second or even third effort to make Robert Iger and Jerry Bruckheimer realize the possible consequences of their script framework, and that shrinking the script structure was not a timidity, but a kind of progress. He will do his best to sell his script ideas. However, if the effort fails in the end, then Lance will not hesitate to abandon the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project, because after all things considered, this project is not worth his so much effort.

A DC Universe project, or a new search for a suitable commercial film project, will be more cost-effective.

But now, first Kayla and then Johnny, they had treated Lance like a flood beast without any further move. This only made Lance more intrigued, he always had this personality: he refused to accept "no" as an answer, and even if he wanted to refuse, he should be the one who gave the order.

So, where is the game headed next? (To be continued.) )
