Chapter 85: Premiere (2)
This is a typical trap, if you answer that you have such a thing, no matter how you explain it, they will find a way to direct the topic to specific factors, if you are a little bit nervous, such as revealing that Weinstein is because he does not want to invest 5 million more to cause the actor to be replaced, the media will ridicule him for his stinginess, and then Weinstein will feel shameless. Even a famous actor can't offend a well-known Hollywood producer like this, let alone you. Frederick whispered to Sean as he walked.
"What if I say no?" Sean asked rhetorically.
"They'll take every opportunity to ask you what your relationship is with Minghella, because a director like him wouldn't use a newcomer as the lead actor for no reason." Frederick shrugged his shoulders, then thought of something and asked, "Speaking of which, you really don't have anything to do with Minghella, Sean?" ”
"Nope!" Sean gave him a blank look.
"I also know on my knees how Sean, who was born in San Francisco, could have a connection with that British director." Galen seized the opportunity to sneer.
However, Sean himself was also puzzled by this, and as his horizons broadened, he knew how lucky he was to be chosen by Minghella. Although there is indeed a factor of his own good quality, there must be something else in it, but unfortunately he doesn't know what it is until now, maybe, after the movie premieres, you can ask directly?
Soon, the group came to the front hall of the theater, where many people already stopped, rested and talked.
Jude greeted Shaun and disappeared into the crowd, as Frederick had been running around with him for a few minutes.
"It's easy now, feel free." That's what the guy said before he ran.
Probably adjusted, and felt that there was no need to worry so much about entering here, Sean had to walk slowly around the front hall with Galen.
"Looks like that's it for the premiere of the movie." Galen grumbled, "It's better than a party...... It's bigger, in a sense, it's a bigger party. ”
"Yes, that's it, but it's much higher than a normal party," Sean smiled, "See the man over there?" Jeffrey? Rush, the Oscar for Best Actor three years ago, and the woman over there, Uma? Thurman, in Pulp Fiction and John? Travolta's swing dancer, hey, speaking of Travolta, isn't he over there? ”
"Yes, I know, but ......" Galen scratched his head, "Frankly, Sean, I don't think you need to be an actor, I've been here for almost a year, and I've been here for almost a year, and I've been here for a few things." This line of work is too unstable, maybe you were popular yesterday, and today you are quiet, and the performance is a very emotional thing, I am a little worried......"
He looked up, then rolled his eyes, and the guy was looking around, not listening. Seeing this, Galen had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and shut his mouth without saying anything.
And Sean, who looked all around, then sighed in his heart, and he didn't find anyone he was looking for. Gwyneth won't talk about it, as one of the heroines, she should be there anyway, but she didn't see anyone, well, there are too many people here, he may not have seen it all. Sean wanted to talk to her, but he hadn't seen each other since the scandal, not because he still wanted anything, but just wanted to know if she really didn't care.
Then there are Jordana and Naomi, "The Genius Ripley" is his debut, how can he not invite them to participate? So I gave them the movie tickets as soon as possible. Who knew that I looked for it and didn't see it, but it was because there were too many people in the front hall? As for whether there will be conflicts when they know each other, Sean is not worried, and it feels like Jordana doesn't seem to care about these at all, so as long as she doesn't speak.
"Hey, Sean, so you're here." A voice rang out, and then there was a heavy slap on the shoulder.
"Hey, Phil, are you okay?" The grinning Sean wanted to scold a few words, but turned his head to look, and then laughed again.
A boxy face, slightly chubby, with slightly slender eyes, since it can look honest or sinister when needed, except for Philip? Seymour? Hoffman is no one else.
"It's the same old age, either to try out various supporting roles, or to practice at stage plays, or to rest at home." Hoffman raised his hands, "It's not like you, and you're still thinking about dating Gwyneth." ”
"Can we not say this? Weishenme everyone I meet tonight is going to ask me this? Sean exclaimed in frustration.
"Literally, you guys were dating that night, weren't they?" Hoffman laughed, then changed the subject after Sean looked at him with annoyance, "I see you were looking around before, who are you looking for?" ”
"Oh yes, I'm looking for Ben? Affleck, better avoid him early, because he warned me at my friend's party for three days! Sean snorted, clearly still angry.
"Really? That's too rude," Hoffman was a little surprised, and then waved his hand again, "but don't worry, I walked a few laps before, and I just happened to hear that he didn't come to the premiere today, as for the reason...... When you say that, I think I get it. ”
He spread out his hands, the smile on his face was a little hateful, but not knowing the weishenme, Sean relaxed. Some people are like that, just ordinary friends, and they don't have deep relationships, but sometimes it's easy to relax.
"By the way, what about Director Minghella? I came in with Jude and never saw anyone else. After introducing Galen to Hoffman, Sean asked.
"I'll take you there, where did I just come from?" Hoffman immediately made a gesture of please, "Where is Jack too, Gwyneth hasn't come yet, but it shouldn't be too long, and it will be more than ten minutes before you enter." As for Kate, you know, it's Christmas Eve, so she didn't come to Australia. ”
Sure enough, Sean sighed softly in his heart. Then Gwyneth walked in through the doorway.
The big golden waves naturally drooped, and a beige evening dress set off the body very well, standing there and looking around, it was very beautiful.
"Want to change your mind?" Hoffman, who also noticed, then quipped.
"No," Sean shook his head, he knew what to do now, but he added, "You can bring her over later." ”
"You guy." Hoffman chuckled, then blinked again, "By the way, I forgot to tell you something just now, be mentally prepared." ”
Sean was about to ask what he was mentally prepared for, but he opened his mouth to understand what he meant, Minghella was ahead, and at the same time there was a fat man with stubble, Harvey? Weinstein.
"Hi Anthony." Sean took a deep breath, stepped forward to greet Minghella, and hugged him gently.
"You're finally here, Sean, I thought you'd have to wait until Zuihou for a second before you show up." Minghella said with a smile, he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Why, I can't wait to go in and have a look." Sean said with a smile, then looked at Weinstein.
"I'll introduce you," Minghella said knowingly, "it's Harvey, Shaun, Harvey, here's Shaun, I think you all know each other a little bit." ”
"Hello, Mr. Weinstein, it's a pleasure to meet you." Sean bowed slightly, "Thank you very much for your support." ”
This is the first time he has met Weinstein, although the other party has vigorously opposed him as the leading actor and acquiesced to Houberg's small actions, but anyway, if he hadn't been stuck with Minghella in the first place and didn't invest more, Sean wouldn't have gotten this opportunity anyway. And after that, he didn't let people make small moves, and when there was a scandal, he diverted the attention of reporters, although these were all forced to do so, but after all, he helped Sean, and he should show due respect.
"I'm not so happy, but I hope you really live up to Anthony's trust." Weinstein snorted, and he looked cold.
Well, it's normal, he still doesn't like him after all, but the low profile just now also played a role, even if he was unhappy, it was not good to speak so badly.
"I've said it many times, Harvey, and I don't mind repeating it again, Sean is going to make this movie great." Minghella said this again, and patted him on the arm.
Although Sean wanted to ask him what made him choose him, he saw that Harvey's face, which was not bad before he came, became a little ugly, so he closed his mouth.
Fortunately, Gwyneth walked over under the leadership of Hoffman at this time: "Hi Anthony, hi, Harvey, hi...... Sean. ”
The "Shakespeare Love History" she won and "Emma", which she won for the first time, were both produced by Miramax, and she was one of the heroines of "The Genius Ripley", and she was the only lady among several people, which naturally eased the atmosphere.
Then, after a simple conversation about a few marginal topics, Weinstein looked at the time: "All right, gentlemen, let's go in first." ”
After speaking, he took the lead and walked to the screening hall where people were entering one after another, and Minghella and the others followed, and Sean found an opportunity to say hello to Gwyneth alone: "Hi." ”
"Hey," Gwyneth smiled, but was still a little rustier than before, "what's the matter, Sean?" ”
"I just want to face you daoqian, after that incident, we haven't met yet." Sean said.
"It's okay, it's gone, isn't it?" Gwyneth waved her hand, "Just don't do it again." ”
The meaning of this sentence was already obvious, so Sean shrugged his shoulders very dryly, and then let out a long breath. Then, he saw Naomi not far away, who was about to enter the screening room through another door, and she looked at him with a smile, as well as Gwyneth beside him. What was even more unexpected was that not far behind Naomi stood Jordana, also smiling in surprise, looking at herself and Gwyneth beside her.
At this time, even if you want to go there to say hello, you can't go and say hello, well, it will take a lot of words to explain tonight, but it's finally coming.
