Chapter 407: Friendship by the Pagoda
After the awards ceremony, it's really the point, it's a grand event, an exchange between the most beautiful wine and the best meat, and the biggest stars. However, the venue is not in the Dolby Theater, but in a luxury hotel in Hollywood, and today this hotel is fully covered by the organizers, and there are no other guests on the entire 40th floor.
This is not to say that the organizers are pretending, but mainly considering security issues, after all, the United States is not so peaceful these days, once there is nothing else, it is a big matter, and no one can afford it.
When Gaucy and Daisy arrived at the hotel in the extended Lincoln car provided by the organizer and came to the banquet on the second floor, they were not so nervous, after all, it was not the first time that they had attended such a banquet, and they might have been nervous the first time, but the second, third, and even fourth times, they gradually got used to it.
"It's Mr. Gaucy and Miss Dressy, right?" As soon as I reached the elevator entrance on the second floor, there were a few American boys in tuxedos who were dressed like gentlemen, and they bent down to Gaucy and Daisy and asked.
This young man must be of English descent, because the gentleman's etiquette is too standard, or else he is specially trained, and Americans are not so gentlemanly.
"Yes."
"Please, you two, have fun."
"Thank you."
When Gosse and Daisy walked into the second-floor lobby, their first impression was that it was too similar to the private club he had been to in New York. The men and women inside are all dressed up quite well. Especially women, whether they are old or not, they all dress themselves up either flamboyant or graceful, and I didn't pay much attention to it when I was at the Dolby Theater before, after all, everyone's attention was on the awards ceremony at that time. But when you look closely, it's really too shiny.
Even if you look mediocre, under the magical makeup and clothes, it is also a little more beautiful, and there is a special attraction.
In comparison, the men are more unpretentious. No matter how you wear the clothes, they are basically the same style, Gao Xi sometimes feels that others used to say that China in the seventies and eighties was too distinctive, all black and white, in fact, this foreigner man is similar, attending a dinner party, all dressed like a person, it's really a bit boring.
But perhaps it is also this self-sacrifice of men. The idea of being willing to be a green leaf makes the women look more colorful.
As the so-called safflower has to be matched with green leaves, this is really true, many times, this really has to be compared to find the beauty.
He used to wonder why the goddess always liked to be friends with female slings, and why tall and thin girls should always walk with short and fat girls, but now that he figured it out, the comparison was even more obvious.
Just when Gao Xi was so fascinated by this jewel that he couldn't open his eyes. Old Tom came over with a smile, and the two of them had seen each other at the Dolby Theatre before. But he didn't speak, and it was not convenient to chat at the award ceremony, after all, the seats of the two people were not together.
"Aha, lad, you can surprise me every time, let's go. Let's go over there. Old Tom had something to say, but he didn't say it, probably because Daisy was on the side, but Gossi understood that this guy was changing his law to harm himself. He said that he would bring a different woman to a dinner party every time.
The first time it was Scarlett, the second time it was Shamu, and this time it became Descarlett.
Well, I'm afraid Tom Sr. didn't know that Gaucy had also gone to Clement's prom.
If you calculate it this way, Gao Xi also feels that he seems to be a little distracted, but it doesn't matter, he is single anyway, and there is no psychological burden.
Besides, he didn't cheat on any woman.
There was also a beautiful young woman beside Old Tom, who was only about thirty years old, which was much smaller than Old Tom's own age. Gaucy had seen this woman before, the wife of old Tom.
That's right, it's a wife, not a lover!
This old guy doesn't know how many women he has changed, but in the United States, it seems that rich people change women from time to time, and they are sorry for their money, and Gao Xi has long been surprised.
"This is Dexteria, my friend." Gao Xi didn't say that he had a girlfriend, not because he didn't think Daisy was worthy, but because he didn't want to put pressure on Daisie. If Dai Qisi thinks that Gao Xi wants to be serious together, then I am afraid that she will choose to retreat, this kind of thing actually doesn't need to be thought about, with Dai Qisi's character, she will definitely do that.
"Hello, beautiful Lady Daisie, this is my lady, it's a pleasure to meet you." Old Tom took Daisie's hand, kissed the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "How do I feel that Ms. Daisy seems to be very familiar, did she play a role in which movie?" ”
This is the genius of old Tom, in fact, he has never watched Dai Qisi's TV series at all, and even he doesn't watch TV series on weekdays, the reason why he says this is nothing more than to give Dai Qisi some face, which can be regarded as a compliment.
Old Tom's wife also hugged Daisie, and after greeting each other, they took Daisy to taste beef and red wine, of course, Daisy wanted to do the same, because in this way, it would not be so embarrassing to meet a male actor or director.
Gao Xi took a plate casually, and then cut a piece of cooked beef with a knife and put it in his mouth, this is not a steak, but a real roasted beef, so Gao Xi didn't have any problems eating it.
"Well, this beef tastes good, but it's far worse than the beef on my ranch." After taking a bite, Gao Xi didn't move his fork again, but tasted the red wine, once he got used to eating good beef, and then ate this relatively inferior beef, the feeling was really not good, and there was a kind of taste that was difficult to swallow.
"Hahaha, yes, this is the best beef, well, I really want to go to your ranch and taste your beef."
"Don't worry, it's not time to slaughter yet, after the resort is built, you can go often, I'll give you a 5% discount, bring more friends, I'm sure you won't be able to eat other beef after you go once, hahaha." Gosse did have this confidence, because it was the result of his own experiments.
"That's not afraid, as long as you supply us beef in the future, the price is negotiable. There are no poor ghosts among my friends. "Old Tom is a person who pays attention to the quality of life, he can not care about the price of things, but the quality must be good.
"But you just told me what you just said, and don't say it publicly, otherwise it will attract a lot of enemies. There are a lot of top-quality beef from farms controlled by big families, and if you say their beef is not good, it is not good. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not here to dismantle the stage, that Daisy is also a bit of fate with me, the reason why I came is just to take her to meet a few more big names in Hollywood. Well, if I can, I would also like to know a few more directors or producers, my brother is also acting in China, but it is not very formal, I hope he can realize his dream, so Hollywood should be a good circle. Gao Xi doesn't have much pursuit of his life, he doesn't want to be a movie star, and he doesn't want to be a big name, but he still cares about his only brother, and he couldn't help when he didn't have any skills before, but now he has a way, and he can't say anything if he doesn't help.
"You really have a heart, but it's just for fun, why take it so seriously?" Old Tom said with a smile.
"Well, it depends on what you say, for me, it's just a gesture, just help. Besides, I'm still going to help my brother after all, and by the way, it's not a problem. Gao Xi waved his hand.
"Then you can come to the Oscars in the future, the scale of that event is much larger than this, to be honest, this so-called Hollywood Annual Achievement Award is just to give some stars who can't show their faces at the Oscars a chance, so that they can also be happy, but everyone who comes has a bit of an impure purpose, of course, it's not impossible to meet Bole, there are still many big names in Hollywood." Old Tom said.
"Well, I really don't have much interest in this, if it weren't for the fact that there is top-quality beef to eat this time, I really wouldn't have come." Gao Xi said with a sigh.
"Hahaha, you're really a foodie."
As the two were talking, a voice suddenly interjected, interrupting their conversation.
"Brother Xi! And Mr. Tom! You two know each other? ”
Gao Xi saw that the person who came was none other than Saiwen, a Chinese student he knew.
"Severn? You're here too? ”
"Yes, why can't I come, I like to eat beef and drink red wine the most, and more importantly, my dream in the future is to have my own creative company in Hollywood. But it's a pity, now Hollywood is getting weaker, and it can't be compared with before, but the surrounding development is getting more and more popular. Severn leaned over and said.
"So that's the case, the revenge is not small, come on, I heard that Hollywood is not easy to mix. But Severn, how did you meet Old Tom? Gossi asked, confused.
"What is this, do you know where my house is?"
"Shaanzhou, I'm a fellow countryman, haven't you told you everything?"
"That's right, it's Shaanzhou, but it's from Pagoda City in the north of Shaanzhou. Tom Sr.'s father used to go to Pagoda City to interview our leaders, and he also revealed an important news to us at that time to ensure the safety of the leaders at that time, but his father suffered from acute appendicitis because of eating bad food, and it was in Pagoda City that he had surgery at that time. Severn explained: "My grandfather was a well-known acupuncturist at that time, and Mr. Tom's father felt bloated after the operation and was not very comfortable, and my grandfather gave a few injections to get it, so he naturally got to know me." ”
"Damn, I'll just say, old Tom has always taken care of me so much, maybe it's because I'm also from Shaanzhou, you old guy still misses the old love." Gao Xi's long-standing doubts have finally been solved. (To be continued.) )
