Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 159 The Unexpected Little Goldman

Simon was wrapped around Sandra and kissed for a while, the two left the background.At the entrance to the side of the hall, Simon stopped and confirmed to Sandra again: "Is it really wiped clean?"

Sandra gave Simon a dissatisfied look: "Of course, do you think I really want to be scratched by Jenny?"

Simon always feels that Sandra's eyes are a little bad, and wipes the corners of his mouth again with his hands, and then walks out of the passage.

The award ceremony was over half unconsciously, and the best soundtrack award was being presented on stage.

When Simon returned to his position and sat down, Janet smiled and was about to say something to him. His eyes blinked, and a small hand touched it, pinching his waist without hesitation.

Simon breathed a sigh of relief and noticed Sandra's gloating expression on the other side, sighing in his heart.

The most poisonous woman's heart.

In the end it was still calculated.

After Janet pinched, she squinted at Sandra across Simon, before pulling out a tissue and a small mirror from her handbag.

Simon took a small mirror and took a photo, with a lipstick mark on his chin that was obviously left intentionally.Although not big, people sitting beside him like Janet can tell at a glance.

As soon as the lipstick mark was wiped away without traces, Sandra once again came together casually: "Simon, Douglas has got the actor."

On the stage, the last Oscar-winning actress Mary Martline pronounced the name of Michael Douglas in a jerky tone, the middle-aged actor from the Hollywood film family with the internal trading tycoon Gordon of Wall Street last year · The role of Gai Ke won the award for best actor.

Simon actually knew why Sandra specifically reminded himself, but he pretended to respond softly and angrily: "Huh?"

Sandra didn't care about Simon's pretending gesture, as if he had completely forgotten what he had just done, and analyzed seriously: ""Wall Street" is nominated by Douglas' best actor, just like "Roller Run" ."

Simon continued to maintain the state of'I am still angry', just nodded slightly: "Well."

Sandra saw Simon this way, glanced around, and confirmed that several live cameras on the scene were not pointing here, so she leaned over and posted it.Simon realized that Sandra was going to kiss himself in public, so startled, he quickly raised his hand to stop: "Stop, or I will let Jenny sit over."

Hearing Simon's'threat', Sandra stopped.

Simon actually just talked about that, in this situation, he really dare not change positions with Janet.

This is the scene of the Academy Awards.

According to Janet's madness, who came up with little temper.

Just in case.

Gee!

However, noticing the interaction between Simon and Sandra, Janet didn't let him go, and reached over and pinched Simon's waist with his small hand. Fortunately, his strength was much lighter this time.

When the two women were quiet, Simon turned his attention to the stage and couldn't help thinking of Sandra's words.Michael Douglas can win the best actor. In addition to his impeccable performance in "Wall Street", the deep connections of the Douglas family in Hollywood should not be underestimated.

As for "Rola Run", after the previous nomination was announced, Simon did not take this matter too seriously. Orion and Warner were disappointed after seeing the nomination results.

Thinking about this slightly, the awards ceremony came to an end unconsciously.

I don’t know if it was intentional or unintentional. The best editing award was even ranked after the best director. When Bernardo Bertolucci, who won this year’s best director with the "Last Emperor", left the stage and hosted Chevy Chess will introduce guests Kevin Costner and Daryl Hannah who will be responsible for the best editing awards.

Feeling Janet and Sandra unconsciously raised their minds, Simon also sat up slightly.

On the stage, Kevin Costner, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, made a few jokes with Daryl Hanna, and entered the topic: "They are the most creative and indispensable in a film crew. One of the characters, when a film ends, they need to choose the right lens from tens of thousands of feet of film and combine them into a perfect film through their miracle hand."

"So, now is the time for them to get rewards," Daryl Hannah continued: "The best editing nominations are:"

"Gabrielle Cristiani, "The Last Emperor."

"Richard Marx, "Broadcast News."

"Michael Kahn, "Sun Empire."

"Peter Berg, "Fatal Temptation."

"Simon Westero, "Rola Run."

After introducing the nomination, Daryl Hanna, who dyed her long blond hair, tore the envelope slowly, pulled out the card with the winning results and glanced at it. Immediately, many people on the scene noticed the obvious surprised expression on her face. , Daryl Hanna even looked up directly at Simon's side.

Pay attention to the pause when reaching Lil Hannah, and Kevin Costner, who was very curious, also looked at the award, with a somewhat surprised expression.

The reaction of the male and female guests, plus the small movement of Daryl Hanna looking at Simon, everyone at the scene realized what.After a short surprise, Kevin Costner and Daryl Hannah glanced at each other and read out the result with a smile: "The winner is Simon Westero, "Rola Run."

Many guests at the scene who thought a certain young man was destined to be the only accompaniment seemed to be surprised when they heard this result. Until the applause around the hall surrounded, the core group of talents just below the stage remembered to start applauding.

In warmer applause, Simon stood up from his seat, and Janet and Sandra got up as well and hugged him separately.

Simon and Janet hugged and turned to Sandra. He was originally worried that Sandra would take the opportunity to leave a lipstick mark on his face again. Sandra just leaned in his ear to say a congratulation softly and let go Arms out.

Quickly stepping onto the stage, Simon took the little golden man from Kevin Costner and shook hands with the two guests before turning to the podium.

Putting the little gold man next to the microphone, Simon waited for the audience to applaud, and then looked sideways at the little gold man in front of him, and smiled and said: "Although it feels weird, it is really a surprise."

Even if only talking about the movie, Simon's reputation as a director, screenwriter, soundtrack or producer is much larger than that of an editor, but at this time, he won the Oscar for the award as an editor. station.

Hearing Simon's slightly ridiculous words, accompanied by a chuckle, the applause from the audience rang again.

Simon waited for a moment and then continued: "I think of it now, the past year has been like a dream, but fortunately the result is not bad. This way, too many people have helped me. Here, I want Thanks to Bob, Brian and David, who produced the production for "Laura Run", my agent Jonathan, girlfriend Jenny, good friend Sandra, Catherine, Ron, Keanu, etc. ,thank you all."

Unlike some important awards such as the best film and best director, Oscar stipulates that the speech time for technical awards is only half a minute.Although Simon knew that no one would urge him to step down even if he overtimed. Even, the ABC responsible for the live broadcast may still want him to stay on the stage for a while, but Simon did not deliberately delay and left the stage soon after a brief speech.

Just came to the background, Janet and Sandra who had slipped from the seat greeted them together. After hugging with Simon again, Pat Kingsley and Neil Bennett held a hand The phone appeared in front of him.

Pat Kingsley instructed Simon to follow the staff to install the nameplate for the little gold man, and said: "Simon, just called by Mike Medova, he congratulated you and hope you can attend the Orion at the Hilton Hotel Party. Terry Semel also made a similar call. Jonathan has left home, he asked you where he will go on the phone, and he will come over."

Pat Kingsley said this, the mobile phone in her hand rang again, and when Kingsley walked to the side to answer the phone, Neil Bennet handed the phone in his hand and whispered: "Ms. Bigelow is online."

Simon and Janet don’t like mobile phones that were still very bulky in this era, but they only have one bodyguard for Neil Bennett and Ken Dixon. Neil Bennett is responsible for driving them tonight The two came over and stayed in the background.

After receiving the mobile phone from Neil Bennett, Simon whispered a question: "Catherine?"

"Well," the side responded quickly, paused, and said again: "Just saw you won the award on TV, just wanted to congratulate you."

"Thank you," Simon smiled at the corner of his mouth. "How are you doing?"

"You know, preparing the movie, but also helping you and Jenny watch the decoration of the house. Very busy."

Catherine's tone carries a touch of burnout. She is a woman with a very regular life. She is used to going to bed early and getting up early. New York is now close to midnight. If it is not waiting for Simon's only nomination result, she must have fallen asleep. .

Simon listened to the woman's voice at this moment and said, "Otherwise, will you return to Los Angeles tomorrow?"

"Don't," Catherine immediately refused, with a bit of confusion in her tone, and then said a few moments later: "Later, I, anyway, you must never think of chaos like that night."

Simon nodded immediately: "Well, I promise."

"Little bastard," Catherine said lightly in disbelief, and said, "You must be busy over there? I'll hang up, bye."

"Good night, go to bed early."

Simon hung up the line, handed the mobile phone to Neil at any time, and took the little gold man whose staff had nailed the nameplate, before being crowded into the media area.

After receiving media interviews, the awards ceremony at the front desk was officially announced. "The Last Emperor" won the best film award without suspense.

Although the east coast is already early in the morning, the west coast is still at nine o'clock in the evening, the beginning of many people's nightlife.

Vanity Fair parties have not yet appeared in the 1980s. After the awards ceremony, everyone usually transfers to the entertainment party specially organized by major film companies.Now that the appointment has been made in advance, Simon and others rushed to the Beverly Hills Sunset Tower Hotel to attend the party hosted by Warner.

Twenty minutes later, Simon had just got off the car at the Sunset Tower Hotel, and Jonathan Friedman greeted him.

Congratulations again warmly, Jonathan greeted Janet and others before whispering to Simon: "Coincidentally, Simon, Steve Rose also came tonight, he just hoped to be able to chat with you chat."

Steve Rose is the chairman and CEO of Warner Bros., and Simon has always been very interested in the Warner leader with a mafia background.

Steve Rose made his fortune in New York by operating a funeral company and parking lot in the early years. Those who pay attention to certain information basically know that industries such as parking, funeral, engineering, and garbage disposal in such a metropolis as New York are usually Underground forces penetrated.

A few people in Noodles of America started a funeral company. This is definitely not a coincidence or a deliberate mapping. This is the reality.Because it is difficult for the IRS to assess in detail how much funeral companies can make for a funeral. You can say 10,000 US dollars, and it’s okay to say 1 million US dollars. As for where the extra 9.9 million US dollars come from, as long as If you pay your taxes honestly, everyone will be obsessed with it, and the same applies to the parking lot.

Speaking of which, some operable attributes of the movie are actually stronger.

Simon and his party entered the Grand Ballroom of the Sunset Tower Hotel. He was greeted by Warner Bros. Pictures ceo Terry Semel. Semel was followed by Mel Gibson who had just attended the award ceremony.

"Simon, congratulations," after congratulating Simon again, Semel said enthusiastically to him: "Mr. Rose just left something and will be back soon. He hopes to chat with you. In addition, this It’s Mel, you guys know me formally."

Simon reached out to Mel Gibson: "Hello, Mr. Gibson."

"Simon, just call me Mel," Mel Gibson shook hands with Simon, and gently shook Janet holding Simon, complimenting: "You are so beautiful tonight, Miss Johnston ."

"Thank you, Mel, you can also call me Jenny, I like "Mad Max" very much."

"Oh, then you can talk to George later, he is here, we are preparing to shoot the fourth sequel."

It's not surprising that Simon felt the natural familiarity that Janet and Mel Gibson chatted with.The reason is simple. Both Janet and Gibson are from Australia.

The Australian gang in Hollywood has always been a very group. In the original space and time, Mel Gibson later plummeted due to scandals such as domestic violence, alcoholism and racial discrimination, but now he is definitely the leader of the Australian gang.
