Chapter 221: I Don't Accept It
"Cheers!"
The people of "Saving Private Ryan" sat around and raised their glasses, Duke had just drunk the champagne from the glass, Robin? Grande stood up again, "For tonight's victory, I mention yì, toast again!" ”
"Agreed, cheers!"
Tonight, most of the crew participating in the Oscars have gained, and it is the center point of this Vanity Fair, and now is the time to be excited, Ben? Watts filled everyone with champagne, and everyone touched their glasses, regardless of the spilled wine, and another glass was bottomed out. ∏∈ ∏∈ point ∏∈ small ∏∈ said, www.
This is the Beverly Hills Hilton, and the crew attends the Oscar Night celebration hosted by Vanity Fair.
"Duke lost Best Director." Zack? "To comfort him, I'm going to have a drink with him." ”
John? Schwartzman also leaned in, "Don't forget, there's me!" I would like to thank him for helping me get the best photography! ”
"Duke mentioned a lot of ideas on set, and I wouldn't have been able to get the best art director without him." Hannah? Serena didn't plan to let Duke go, "I'm going to have a drink with him too!" ”
"Don't forget me." Mike? Dawson didn't want to lag behind, "I used to be just an ordinary editor in Hollywood, and after I met Duke, I got three nominations for Best Editing, one Best Editing Statuette, and I had to have a drink with him." ”
Sophia bumped Duke on the shoulder, then raised her glass, signaling that she wouldn't let him go.
The noise in the banquet hall, the clinking of glasses, and the voices of men and women gathered into a chaotic movement, and Duke looked at these members of the Zuò team and understood that these guys had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Then I'll have a drink with everyone."
Catherine next to her? Zeta? Jones had filled him with champagne, and Duke stood up and raised his glass. "I should toast everyone, and may our cooperation be a success forever!"
After speaking, he took the lead in pouring champagne into his stomach, "Cheers!" ”
"Cheers!" Others drank from their glasses.
"That's not right!" Put down your glass, Zach? Schneider suddenly came back to his senses, "We're each going to have a drink with Duke!" ”
"Wait!" Duke burped. I already felt the upsurge of alcohol, "You know I'm not drinking well, and I'll get drunk if I drink again." ”
"Are you afraid that you will get drunk and no one will take care of you?" John? Schwarzman across the table, to Zeta? Jones nodded his chin, "I don't think Kate will refuse to take care of you." ”
"Honey." Zeta? Jones immediately laughed and said, "I'd love to do that." ”
"Wow~"
The group of extremely excited guys let out a heckling sound.
Zeta? Jones turned his head, his red lips brushing across Duke's cheeks, leaving a hot and moist breath.
"Alright, stop making a fuss!"
Seeing that these guys really want to put it into action. Sofia? Coppola reminded, "Don't you need to socialize? How do you go to pick up girls when you drink too much now? Do you want to spend this night of revelry alone? ”
"Another drink!"
Duke stood up, took the lead in raising his glass, and encouraged, "Vanity Fair is the favorite place for beautiful models, don't say I didn't remind you!" ”
Honor, money, wine and beauty, this is the eternal theme of Oscar night, after a drink. Most people leave the dining area and go elsewhere to find their purpose.
The number of people at this table was rapidly decreasing. Even Sophia? Coppola went somewhere else, only Robin opposite? Mr. and Mrs. Grande were whispering something.
"You've had a lot of drinks."
Zeta? Jones took the handbag and looked at Duke with concern, "I'm going to prepare a drink medicine for you, do you need it?" ”
"Not yet."
Dinner was not eaten at all, and Duke took the knife and fork. Slice a steak and stuff it in your mouth, Zeta? Jones had already brought him a glass of juice and handed it over when Duke had eaten a quarter of the steak.
Took the juice and took a big sip, Duke could tell. This is a woman with a very good heart, quite sleek and sophisticated, also the heroine of "Chicago", also rehearsing in a dance studio, Naomi? Watts is the envy of numerous female backup dancers and character actors, Zeta? Jones has won the favor of many people, even the singing and dancing director Lily? Fred has spoken to him more than once that she is a very humble and hard-working actor.
"Someone's coming."
Hear Zeta? Jones's reminder, Duke turned his head slightly, Tina the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair"? Brown walked over.
"Hi, Duke. Congratulations on winning the best picture. "She looked at Catherine? Zeta? Jones, who didn't know him, immediately turned his gaze back to Duke, "Can we talk for a while?" ”
"Of course." Duke motioned to the chair next to him, "Please be seated, Tina." ”
Sitting diagonally across from Duke, Tina? Brown smiled politely, "There aren't many talented young directors like you, I heard that your new film is ready to be filmed?" Interested in an interview with Vanity Fair? ”
"No one would say no to Tina? Brown's invitation, isn't it? Duke first politely remarked, then added, "I can't make a decision on my own. Tina, you better get in touch with my PR and agent. ”
"No problem." Tina? Brown stood up and left.
It was not early, and looking at his watch, Duke was about to leave, but before he could stand up, he saw dozens of feet away, Mel? Gibson sat alone at the Braveheart table, looking at this side, as if hesitating.
"What does he want to do?"
Catherine? Zeta? Jones also noticed him, grabbed Duke's sleeve, and asked a little nervously, "Do you want me to call security?" ”
Shaking his head, Duke turned around and looked at Mel as well? Gibson, he'd love to see what this savage wants to do.
Mel? Gibson didn't drink a glass of wine tonight, and no one asked him to drink, everyone saw him like a fly, and they couldn't wait to go as far as they could, losing the opportunity to win the Oscar for Best Director, and in this circle of chasing success, he has become a complete loser.
Looking at the other side, he had extremely mixed feelings, the young director also lost the best director, but he was still sought after, no matter where he stands, he will definitely become the center point there, and it seems that the whole world revolves around him.
Keep your head down, Mel? Gibson dodged the two seemingly calm, but actually sharp gazes, and remembered the purpose of his participation in this faction, he was not here to accept the ridicule of those people, but to find a new opportunity in a desperate situation.
If you go over and apologize, fight for the other party's forgiveness, and then try to make some articles in the media, your current situation will be improved to a certain extent.
These are not difficult to say and do, why is he so resistant?
Mel? Gibson looked at Duke again, and he knew that even if he sincerely apologized, he actually hated it to the extreme.
But hatred doesn't solve the problem, it doesn't bring any change to his situation, so Mel? Gibson stood up.
He's waiting, just as Duke was looking for an opportunity, and he's choosing the right one.
Finally, more than a dozen people walked to the crew of "Saving Private Ryan", Tom? The Hanks sat at the same table and talked to him, Mel? Gibson took the heavy, slow first step.
This step was very painful, and it made him feel like he had been slapped in the face.
However, the most difficult step is often the first step, and after this step, it will be much easier to follow.
Mel? Gibson took a deep breath, ignored the disdainful glances of those around him, and strode towards Duke.
"Mel? Gibson came over. ”
Hearing someone remind, Duke ended his conversation with Hanks, turned his head, and watched the tall figure of the other party walk step by step.
"Don't be impulsive, Duke." Sophia, who returned to the table, hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "You have to stay calm, he's finished." ”
Duke nodded, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to take the initiative to do something.
The table of "Saving Private Ryan" is located in a very prominent position in the banquet hall, Mel? Gibson's move immediately attracted countless eyeballs, among which there were countless people waiting to see the show.
Mel? Gibson didn't care about those looks, and Duke didn't care about those looks either.
Walk five feet away from Duke, Mel? Gibson paused, looked at Duke, and almost turned into anger when he wanted to say something, and took a deep breath before suppressing it.
A few people nearby looked at Duke, Ben? Watts and Zach? Schneider has unknowingly walked to Mel? Gibson flanked him, as if he was guarding against a possible reckless move by the Australian savages.
Mel? Gibson's temperament was known throughout Hollywood, and no one thought he had good intentions.
Duke looked at Gibson and asked directly, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Gibson?" ”
"I ......" Mel? Gibson seems to have used up the strength to feed, "I'm here to apologize." ”
Apologize?
Including Duke, the people around who heard this couldn't help but be stunned, Mel? Will Gibson take the initiative to apologize?
"Last time the Golden Globes were sent to duì, I did something stupid." Mel? Gibson's voice was unusually loud, as if it was going to be heard by everyone in the banquet hall, "I feel so guilty about this, I came here to apologize to you." ”
After this loud voice, many people's eyes fell on Duke, Mel? Gibson's apology seems sincere, what will he do?
Pretty smart, isn't it? Duke chuckled to himself, Mel? Did Gibson sincerely apologize? He doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know, the other party is a veteran actor, and his acting skills are definitely above the level line when he is not drunk.
Mel? Gibson looked at this side sincerely, as if he wanted to impress Duke, as long as the person concerned was willing to forgive him, there were always many articles to be done in the future.
After just a second of silence, Duke gave the answer, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Gibson, I don't accept your apology!" (To be continued......) R527
