Chapter 172: The Dinner Party
At the end of the award for the best foreign language film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the undoubted award, but that has nothing to do with Lee Chung-hee, what he said is important. As for the next award ceremony, it is even more interesting for him, a rookie who does not attract much attention.
At half past nine, the nearly four-hour awards ceremony finally ended, and in a state of joy, Lee Chung-hee walked out with his legs pulled, Jessica Alba was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stopped him, "Hey, where are you going?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that he was very anxious, he immediately blushed and spat him.
Li Zhengxi was stunned for a moment, then guessed her thoughts, and immediately spread his hands, "Please, what do you want, I'm hungry, I have to eat!" ”
Because of the practice, he is now less and less hungry, hungry and miserable, his stomach hurts, today because he came out at three o'clock, modeling or something to get more than five o'clock, and he has no time to eat, so, by this point, he has long been hungry.
Jessica Alba smiled apologetically, and, when she told him, she felt a little hungry, so she said, "Then you wait for me!" ”
Li Zhengxi chuckled, "Do you think I'm going to the Governor's Palace, I'm going to deal with the vendors outside now!" ”
This year's Oscars dinner was held at the Governor's Mansion in California, but there were reporters at the dinner, and he couldn't always be as casual as he did at Columbia Pictures.
Sure enough, Jessica Alba was stunned when she heard him say this, but she was also young after all, with childlike innocence and playful thoughts, so she giggled. "That's not bad. I'll go too! ”
Now. Lee Chung-hee had no choice, but as soon as they came out of the backstage, they blocked reporters, especially the Korean media who had never been able to get a chance to interview before.
His attendance at the Oscars is not only a high-level event in the Korean entertainment industry, but also a big event in South Korea, so he can't hide if he wants to.
"Dr. Lee. What was it like to be present at the Oscars and be a guest of honor? KBS TV.
"After all, it's an Oscar, and I was a little nervous at first, but then it was nothing, it was similar to attending the KBS acting awards, and I felt average," Lee Chung-hee laughed, paused, and continued: "If you win the award, it may be different!" ”
"Since you talked about winning awards, and you just said on stage about the rise of Asian films. As we all know, you're also a great writer and screenwriter. So, do you have any plans to make our Korean films appear on the Oscar stage as well! Chosun Ilbo.
"Well, there must be this, but that's not something that can be achieved overnight," Lee Chung-hee nodded and continued: "First of all, the domestic film market in South Korea is very poor, it has just started, we have to cultivate the local market first, everything has to be done step by step, and then, when the market is getting bigger and more mature, and our directors, screenwriters, and actors are getting better and better, more and more, at that time, I think, Korean films will inevitably stand on the stage of this Oscar!" ”
Not only Korean films, but also Chinese films will seize or even dominate the Hollywood stage, that is Lee Chung-hee's ambition, but that road is still far away, so he is just talking casually now, saying too much, and no one believes him, but will say that he is arrogant.
In addition to the South Korean media, the American media also took the opportunity to run up, which took Lee Chung-hee almost half an hour, and by this time, the time had already passed ten o'clock.
Coincidentally, Nicole Kidman and her assistant walked over together, saw him and Jessica Alba, and after being stunned, laughed, "Why are you still here?" ”
Lee Chung-hee shrugged his shoulders and joked with a smile: "Although I am a little star, there are also good interviews!" ”
Then, when Nicole Kidman invited them to go to the Governor's Mansion in California, she consulted Jessica Alba and got into the car.
Then, the two brothers, Li Mingen and Li Mingze, finally completed the task of buying food and drink that he had explained, and handed him a big bag.
"What is this?" When the car started, Nicole Kidman looked at Lee Chung-hee in surprise, and then, when she saw that in the bag that Lee Chung-hee opened, there were several boxes, and the boxes were full of delicious food.
Even Jessica Alba was surprised and said, "I thought you asked them to buy burgers or something, but they bought these!" ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled, opened the six boxes, and then put them on the spacious table in the courtesy car, shrugging, "Taste it, this is the delicacy of the Imperial Food Garden, I have eaten it a lot recently, so I promise it is not bad," and added a special sentence, "Although it is Chinese food, with my experience in the United States for more than ten years, I can be sure that this is also in line with your taste!" ”
The Imperial Food Garden can be said to be the best Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, it is said to be a family heirloom craft of making palace imperial food.
It's not like being outside, there is no need to pay attention to any etiquette, no matter how beautiful and elegant a woman is, she has to eat, so Jessica Alba and Nicole Kidman's eyes suddenly lit up, and they picked up knives and forks one after another, and tasted it while asking the name of Lee Chung-hee's dish.
Cold beef, braised lion's head, stir-fried shrimp, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, and a bowl of bird's nest, the staple food, is mutton sandwich bun, Li Zhengxi is a carnivore, so there is not a plate of green vegetables.
However, Nicole Kidman and Jessica Alba didn't say anything bad without greens at this time, and they didn't stop eating from the beginning, not only because they were hungry, but also because they were delicious.
"Oh my gosh, it's so delicious!" After Nicole Kidman comfortably swallowed a spoonful of bird's nest, she sighed with satisfaction, then looked at Lee Chung-hee and said, "What do you say this restaurant is called?" ”
"Imperial Food Garden!" Lee Chung-hee smiled, "If you ask the best Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles over here, more than half of them will tell you by your name!" ”
Nicole Kidman chuckled and looked at him, and sighed, "You guy is really picky, you are actually thinking about buying the best food at this time!" ”
Seeing that Jessica Alba also had that expression, Lee Chung-hee shrugged. "Please. I was actually planning to buy a burger on the street in the first place. However, the reporter stopped me, and I thought, it will take a lot of time anyway, so I called first to book it, and then asked them to pick it up."
"Well, it's a genius!" Nicole Kidman praised sincerely: "Although it is said to be for enjoyment." But with a good plan and a good timing, you don't look like you're nineteen! ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled, but didn't answer, but directly aimed at the six boxes and ate them with a sigh.
Although it was delicious, Jessica Alba and Nicole Kidman still controlled it, so it can be said that half of the amount went into his stomach, especially the four lamb buns. He ate almost three.
"Aren't you afraid to hold on, there are still a lot of things to eat at the dinner!" Looks like it's almost there. Nicole Kidman smiled and gave him a blank look.
Li Zhengxi spread his hands, "It's only seven points full, besides, the things at the dinner are what you put on display, especially you beauties, who are even afraid ......to eat a snack." ”
Jessica Alba looked very strange from the sidelines, not only talking, Lee Chung-hee and Nicole Kidman were very casual, even when eating, the two of them seemed to be very intimate, such as inadvertently feeding each other a bite or something, shouldn't it be between boyfriend and girlfriend.
But they didn't look like they were in that state of affection, and she really didn't understand, because she didn't know that the two guys had rolled over the sheets one night.
That kind of relationship, as long as it is not an after-the-fact feud, after seeing it, there will naturally be a special sense of closeness, which is caused by the impact of the previous intimate relationship.
The courtesy car stopped in front of the square of the Doge's Palace, and there were not so many people invited to the dinner, only about half, that is, about fifteen hundred, but it was still a huge number, and it was an extremely lively and busy scene in front of me.
"Are you going anywhere else?" While getting out of the car with Lee Chung-hee's men, Nicole Kidman asked him.
Lee Chung-hee shrugged, "Sounds like Vanity Fair magazine has also given you an invitation!" Nicole Kidman giggled and nodded.
After the Oscar ceremony, the winners and nominees will basically rush to N dinners all night, including major film labels, major brokerage companies, and various magazines such as "Vanity Fair" in front of them, etc., the official dinner of the Oscars is just one of them.
And among these many dinners, in addition to the official one, the dinner of "Vanity Fair" magazine is the most grand, this is because of the influence of this magazine and the power of the owner behind it, and therefore, most people are willing to go and have to go, and even, many big stars pay more attention to that dinner.
This is also the reason why Nicole Kidman asked this question, of course, such a statement, showing Xiàn is the closeness to Lee Chung-hee.
The Governor's Mansion is a large, three-story building, which served as the official residence of the Governor of California from 19o3 until Ronald Reagan's term as Governor of California.
The huge lawn, the lavish formal social dining room, the spiral staircase and the newly renovated swimming pool, and of course, the various study rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc., are also open, in short, any part of the building today is used for banquets, and more than a thousand guests linger.
Lee Chung-hee and the three of them were basically full, so they didn't stay in the social restaurant, but each brought a glass of red wine and went around.
"Hi Tom," Lee Chung-hee was the first to meet Tom Hanks, greeted him with a smile, Tom Hanks also responded with a smile, and introduced him to his good friend and good partner, Steven Spielberg.
The "Band of Brothers" they're working on now is what they co-produced and co-directed, and of course, their relationship is more than that, and these two guys have been a golden partner for the past decade.
"Hi Vincent, nice to meet you!" Steven Spielberg is a person who doesn't talk much, but for Lee Chung-hee, he is very polite, and sincerely praises: "The Da Vinci Code is really good, but what's even better is that you quickly get rid of the shackles of that reasoning through "The Lovely Bones", and focus on family affection, as well as friendship and love, which is really ordinary...... It's really remarkable! ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled a little flattered, "Wow, this is probably the best compliment I've heard this year, Mr. Spielberg deserves to be the best director in Hollywood, and he is more beautiful than others!" ”
As he spoke, all three of them laughed, and Tom Cruise also took the opportunity to answer at this time, "Well, Vincent, I told Stephen before, I think, there shouldn't be much of a problem in terms of time!" ”
This is basically equivalent to agreeing to Lee Chung-hee's invitation, Lee Chung-hee nodded happily, and Steven Spielberg next to him smiled: "I have half of the credit for this, because I said he should star in this role!" ”
Lee Chung-hee could hear some extraneous meanings, probably the meaning of cooperation, and Stephen Spielberg should know his plan for "The Da Vinci Code", which must be later.
This was good news, and so he said with the same smile; "How can I thank you, Mr. Spielberg, perhaps, we should find an opportunity to work together!"
That's what Steven Spielberg wanted to hear, and he wouldn't be too surprised if it was just a copy of The Da Vinci Code, but as soon as "The Lovely Bones" and "Illaron" came out, two completely different and extremely excellent novels, Steven Spielberg had to pay attention to the amazing talent of this young man.
The most important thing is that he is also a screenwriter and the owner of an entertainment company, such a person, he believes that he will definitely be great in the future, especially in this industry, so he formed this good relationship with Tom Hanks early.
At this time, he replied with a smile: "That's no better, and even, I'm looking forward to it now!" ”
After chatting with Tom Cruise, Lee Chung-hee politely said goodbye, walked around from the first floor, and after meeting Ang Lee and others, who had just awarded the best foreign language film award to the other party, after chatting with each other for a few words, he turned around and went up to the second floor with the mentality of visiting the Governor's Palace.
Just went up to the second floor, just around the corner, he slapped someone on the buttocks, and after turning his head in amazement, it was now Scarlett Johansson, and before he could speak, the other party said, "Where are you going, I've been looking for you for a long time!" ”
Li Zhengxi was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I also looked for you, but I haven't seen you!" ”
Scarlett Johansson pouted, but he didn't care about those, after all, thousands of people, sitting in completely different positions, and they couldn't move, how could they see it with a few casual glances. Instead, he asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Lee Chung-hee pointed ahead, "It's just a stroll, it's my first time here!" ”
Scarlett Johansson shrugged, "There's nothing to see here!" He subconsciously followed him, and at this time, Kate Beckinsale suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
When she saw them, she was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled strangely, "Hey, two cute little friends, you don't seem to have an ordinary relationship!" (To be continued!)
