Jonathan Gerrard, as a senior editor of "Vanity Fair", if he didn't know that someone deliberately set him up at this time, then he would have been in Hollywood for so many years. Jonathan was a little curious, how did this bureau come about? Angelina actually appeared at the Oscars tonight, and was in a room with the editor-in-chief of "America Weekly" in disheveled clothes, and both of them looked excited, revealing too much information in their words. And he became a witness to this qiē.
No matter who the person who set up the bureau is, it can be said that it is not unintelligent.
Jonathan knocked lightly on the door and said, "Tonight is really lively, there are people everywhere, and there is not even a little clean place to be found." If I could, I would just like to go home. After saying that, Jonathan didn't stop any longer, and walked straight away and left the room unhurriedly.
He and George Clooney are old friends, and he is also close to Brad Pitt. This reminder can be regarded as a wake-up call for Angelina.
Angelina in the room suddenly turned into a fossil and stiffened in place. Stunned, she suddenly wanted to rush to the door to see who was outside, but her right hand was firmly grasped, "Don't you understand yet?" That person is reminding us that we are now almost exposed, and may even become a lever for others, and the subtext is to make us give up. That man is on our side! Angelina's mind didn't turn for a while, and she stood quietly in the original place to clear her mind.
Jonathan walked to the bottom of the stairwell, and then he heard two chattering voices, "I just saw Angelina and Brad appear." This made Jonathan's footsteps pause, "However, the two don't seem to be together, and Brad went straight to those big guys." ”
"Really?" It was another person's voice, "I just saw Angelina and another man with a raw face pulling and pulling, and her skirt was torn. ”
"What!" The sound of surprise sounded, and he was directly covered in the mouth, and the other person scolded, "Shut up! He raised his head and looked around, and then he saw Jonathan standing at the top of the stairs, his expression suddenly became panicked and embarrassed, and the two of them immediately lowered their heads and left quickly.
Jonathan stood there for two seconds, smiling dumbly, this was obviously a chain of tricks, no matter what he had just done, he had already entered the trap, and had become a link in the trap. And he knows that this is definitely not the end. He, as an eyewitness, had to do it even if he didn't want to.
Thinking about it, "Jennifer Aniston is a good girl. Jonathan said to himself, nodding slightly, as if he had made up his mind.
Lance didn't care about the qiē that happened on the second floor at this time, and it looked like he was an ordinary member of this faction, enjoying this beautiful night. Tonight was indeed very beautiful for Lance, in just ten minutes, more than 20 people took the initiative to talk to him, including Michael Mann, Jamie Foxx, Kate Winslet, Mike Lee, etc., and the endless crowd was no less than Clint Eastwood and Tom Cruise.
Lance is chatting happily with Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, they are very interested in the gossip of the crew of "Killing with a Knife", and it is rumored that in order to force Tom to his limit, Lance even used unconventional means to make Tom collapse, and then regrouped, which made Tom miserable during the filming, so when the scandal between Penelope and Matthew broke out, Tom didn't have time to care about it at all.
"Hehe, it depends on the way you are curious, or is it gossip news?" Lance's answer made Annette laugh, and Warren, who was standing on the sidelines, put his arms around his wife's waist, "I hope she's curious about gossip, otherwise I wouldn't be comfortable putting her on your crew." ”
"I hope you're worried about my attractiveness, not what I have in mind." Annette's reply made Annette overjoyed, and she looked up at Warren, "Look, I'm still very popular. Warren took his wife directly in his arms and said triumphantly, "But unfortunately you can't run away." ”
Lance raised his hands, covered his eyes, and didn't say a word, just shook his head vigorously, but his attitude couldn't be more obvious.
Annette patted Lance's hands, "No need to pretend like this. How many girls in this room will rush over and eat you alive if you want. Such words are full of original atmosphere, which makes people laugh. Annette lifted her chin, "Look, there's one there." If I'm not mistaken, she's probably the most beautiful girl in America right now, right? ”
Lance turned his head and followed Annette's line of sight, and then saw Gwyneth Paltrow.
Gwyneth was talking to Paul Haggis, the writer of "Million Dollar Baby", but was obviously absent-minded, and kept casting her eyes in the direction of Lance and Annette. Sensing Lance's gaze at this time, Gwyneth not only did not avoid it, but showed a bright smile and responded.
Lance retracted his gaze and chuckled, "I'm not interested in ruining other people's marriages. Gwyneth and Chris Martin got married at the end of 2003, and now Gwyneth's initiative is not difficult to guess the reason - Lance is now the hottest director in the United States, which is no longer the same as the "day after tomorrow" period, although the "day after tomorrow" investment in filming was only a little more than a year ago.
Warren smiled back, "But I think she has a different opinion. ”
Gwyneth had already said goodbye to Paul and walked in the direction of Lance, and the purpose could not have been clearer. But suddenly, a figure stepped in, crossed over to Gwyneth, and waved directly at Lance, "Hey, buddy, it looks like you're busy right now. ”
Amazing is the biggest protagonist tonight, Tom Cruise.
Gwyneth's footsteps couldn't help but stop, but she was stuck in the middle, neither advancing nor retreating, and she looked a little embarrassed for a while.
Tom didn't notice this detail, and after greeting Annette and Warren, he noticed the smiling expressions on the faces of the three people, "So, is there something going on between you that I don't know about, for example, you are saying bad things about me?" ”
Lance looked at Annette and Warren's playful eyes, and simply ignored them, "You're the busiest person tonight, aren't you?" I see you're so busy that you don't even have time to catch your breath. ”
Tom spread his hands, "That's how long you've been in this circle. The subtext is that it has nothing to do with the little golden man, it's just that his popularity is so good that Annette and Warren both chuckle, "I guess you guys had a great chat just now, but I have to apologize, I need Lance and me to meet a few friends right now." This sentence was addressed to the two in front of him.
"Oh, of course." Annette nodded repeatedly, "God knows, we stood by Lance's side and held back many eager people for him. The meaningful words clearly meant something, "Let's go, Warren and I need a little space to rest." ”
"Even if I'm not there, I don't think things will change much." Lance's gaze falls on Warren, as if alluding to Warren's rich relationship history. Warren immediately pretended not to understand and waved his hand vigorously, "You can go." Annette stood next to her, smiling at Warren's embarrassed expression, as if she could see a flower.
Lance grinned, turned and left with Tom. Gwyneth was met by him, and both Lance and Tom nodded politely in greeting, and Gwyneth smiled and nodded, but before she could say anything, she watched Lance and the two of them walk by quickly.
Tom didn't notice the details, but lowered his voice and said to Lance, "I just met a few friends, and I think you should get to know them." Tom paused and asked curiously, "Although I don't know what the scale of Chaos Pictures is now, and I don't know your plans, these people can come in handy sooner or later." Don't underestimate them. ”
The short words made Lance start to think, but before he could think deeply, the two of them arrived at their destination, and Tom greeted him with a smile, "Gentlemen, if you are not discussing national affairs now, then turn your attention and let me introduce you: Lancelot-Strello, an outstanding artist, is very demanding of artistic details. ”
A simple sentence caused everyone to laugh, and Tom turned his head and introduced Lance one by one, and the people in front of him were from public relations companies, producers' unions, and TV station executives...... and North American Cinemas," Austin-Hogan, general manager of AMC Cinemas Los Angeles. ”
A trace of joy flashed in Lance's eyes, but he still maintained restraint and did not let his feelings be revealed, he did not forget that this was a formal social occasion, and he didn't want others to see through his intentions, so he politely shook the other party's right hand, and said a polite word without humility or arrogance, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
It is the so-called drowsiness meets the pillow. One of Lance's biggest tasks tonight is to talk to the theater chain, and he was still thinking about the possibility of talking to Royal Entertainment just now, and now he met the branch general manager of AMC theater line. Compared with the senior management of Royal Entertainment, it is obvious that the general manager of the city branch will be much more direct, and the two parties can even directly reach a business agreement; Moreover, AMC Cinemas is currently the second largest cinema chain in North America after Royal Entertainment, which is definitely the best encounter for Lance.
Whether Tom was knowingly involved or not, his proactivity tonight opened up a great situation for Lance. Now, it's up to Lance to grasp it or not! (To be continued.) )
