King of Hollywood

After answering a few more questions, Dennis said goodbye to these reporters and walked along the red carpet to the gate of the music center. As he passed the unnamed statue, he heard someone calling himself: "Hey, Dan!"

Following the sound, Morgan Freeman was waving to him, and a man and a woman standing beside the old man holding arms were Tim Robbins and his life partner, Susan Sarandon.

"Hey, Morgan, Tim, nice to meet you." Dennis immediately walked over and shook hands with the two in turn. And the scene with Robbins, so the relationship with each other is quite good.

"This beautiful woman who can fascinate Tim must be Ms. Susan Sarandon." After the greetings, Dennis bowed to Sarandon next to Robbins with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Dan, you're very good at talking," Sarandon raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "You can call me Susan. Tim keeps saying you're a nice young man, and it seems he's right."

"Thank you. I know that opportunities don't come easily, so I work harder." Dennis said modestly, and then changed the subject: "By the way, I also want to congratulate you for being shortlisted for Best Actress, Susan. This is really rare."

Susan Sarandon was shortlisted for Best Actress this time for "Thelma \u0026 Louise". Unfortunately, she and Tim Robbins are not married, otherwise they would be husband and wife instead of lovers.

"Actually, I don't expect the judges to award me the best actress." Sarandon shook his head as if he didn't care, but looked at Robbins with satisfaction, "but It's nice to be in the finals with Tim."

"It's really enviable," Freeman said with a little emotion and a little teasing, "In the history of the Oscars, there are not many people who were both shortlisted for the best actor and actress as a couple."

Robbins and Sarandon both laughed, and the four chatted for a while. Although Dennis was listening most of the time, he didn't show any signs of impatience. A few minutes later, the couple bid farewell to the music center, and then he asked Freeman, "By the way, Morgan, have you seen Ed?"

"Ed? Well...he's over there." Freeman looked around and quickly found Adrian.

"Thank you." Dennis nodded to him, then walked over there.

Adrian was standing not far from the entrance of the music center, talking to a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. His suit made him look tall and straight.

Before Dennis came to the front, he heard Adrian's voice: "How is it, Joe? I have been waiting for you for a long time."

He took a closer look at the middle-aged man and found out that it was Jonathan Demme, the director of "The Silence of the Lambs". He remembered that Adrian and Jonathan had crossed paths at last year's Berlin Film Festival, but he did not expect to become rivals now. .

Dennis hesitated and didn't know whether to go up to say hello, and Adrian was obviously talking about something important with Jonathan. Just when he was about to leave, Adrian turned his head and saw him.

"Hey, Dan, you're finally here." He greeted him enthusiastically, "Come here-this is Jonathan Demme, you may have seen it, although he is my main opponent tonight, but I think I just wanted to convince him to do a movie."

"I don't seem to have refused, Ed." After exchanging pleasantries with Dennis, Demi reminded.

"Then it's settled?" Adrian immediately grabbed his words.

"This..." Demi raised his hand, smiling helplessly, "You can really seize the opportunity, Ed, and... well, I think you should be a producer instead of a director."

"Come on, Joe, your heart was already moved at the beginning of last year." Adrian laughed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "As for the rest, don't worry, tonight will belong to you, I'm just your foil .”

"Oh, I like this sentence. It would be wonderful if Ridley and the others said the same." Demi said jokingly.

"That's it, I'll go in first." Adrian said, gestured to Dennis, and then walked towards the music center.

Dennis nodded with Demi again, and then followed behind Adrian. After walking into the lobby of the music center, he asked in a low voice, "Are you serious, Ed?"

"What?" Adrian didn't seem to understand what he meant.

"I mean, best director, do you really think you have no chance at all?" Dennis explained.

"Hehe," Adrian smiled softly, "You have to know, Dan, there are rules for everything. Unless you have the ability and power to modify the rules, you can only do things according to the rules. In fact, this is nothing, you should have You will have it sooner or later, and... sometimes you win instead of losing."

Lose but win? Dennis didn't understand what this sentence meant, but when he was about to ask, Adrian's eyes lit up and he walked towards a tall girl in the front hall of the music center.

Dennis closed his mouth immediately, swallowed back the words he was about to say, looked around and walked straight into the inner hall without saying hello, he knew that Adrian would not care about these.

"Hi, Julie, nice to see you here again." Adrian caught up with the girl who was walking slowly in two or three steps, and greeted with a smile.

"Ed?" The other party turned his head and showed a look of surprise.

"Wow, Julie, you are so beautiful today." Adrian looked up and down, and Julia Roberts in front of him was wearing a pure white shoulderless evening dress, her hair was coiled just right, and her white goose The neck, smooth shoulders and delicate collarbone are all exposed, which looks very sexy.

"Thank you, I didn't expect that when we met again, you would already be the youngest nominee for best director." Julia smiled slightly. This action and her iconic big mouth made her look extraordinarily charming.

"Life is always full of surprises. There are ups and downs, so don't take it too seriously." Adrian shrugged, with a hint of comfort in his tone. The box office of "Captain Hook" was not bad, but it did not reach the film company. The expected goals, but fortunately the released video sold well. Therefore, the title of Julia's "box office poison" has not been mentioned again, but critics still have to speak sarcastically to her.

"It's okay, I still remember what you said to me, I won't be defeated so easily." Julia shrugged with a smile, how could she not hear what Adrian was trying to say.

"You still remember what you said that day? I'm really honored." Adrian showed a slightly exaggerated expression, then leaned forward, and then took a deep breath.

"Chanel No. 19? Glad you took my advice." He looked at her without blinking.

"Well..." Julia suddenly became a little embarrassed, "Okay, I have to go in, Ed, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly walked towards the inner hall without looking back. Adrian shrugged with a chuckle after watching her figure disappear at the door of the inner hall.

(Well, regarding Julia, all the animals in the group are required to accept, but there are still a lot of lolita to be cultivated, and a lot of royal sisters to be teased, and if there are more female characters, in addition to ensuring that the main role Except for good descriptions, I’m afraid everyone else needs vases. So, what do you think? Even vases will be collected in the future?)
