105. Chapter 105 After the dinner party
"The winner of the best actor in the plot is Denzel Washington!" With the voices of the award presenters on the stage ahead, warm applause sounded again in the hall.
There is no surprise at this Golden Globe Awards. In addition to the best actor in the plot just announced, the best supporting actor in the plot was taken away by Tom Cruise, and the best director was given to Sam Mendes, the director of "American Beauty". If nothing unexpected happens, the best movie will be won by him.
In short, it is really embarrassing that "Genius Ripley" has been defeated again. You should know that at least I won the Best Adaptation Award at the Director's Union Awards before.
However, no one cared, and Jude was just a little regretful, both Mingla and Weinstein. After all, the Golden Globes were just a dinner party. To put it bluntly, it was just an elegant and dazzling party. Just look at the stars who were talking easily.
But Sean was still not happy.
"Don't care, it's just the Golden Globes. As I once said, even Tom Cruise can win the award, it's only a matter of time before you get one." Frederick comforted, of course, the latter sentence was relatively low, and Cruise's seat was not far from them.
"Have you said this?" Sean rolled his eyes.
"Well... it should be," the agent was a little uncertain, "Anyway, that's it. When you win the male lead in "Pearl Harbor", you might be able to stand on top in the next few days."
"You mean to stand up as an award presenter." Sean teased.
"That's not bad," Frederick didn't care at all, "can also highlight himself and impress those present."
Well, Sean could only shut up and not talk about it, he was afraid of him.
However, his unhappiness was certainly not because he failed to win the award. Topher Redric had been nagging, and he knew that it was unlikely. Although they created miracles and did almost no one could do it, they could not use up all their luck in one breath, would they? Otherwise, what should I do in the future?
So, his unhappiness was only because of a person, a woman, sitting diagonally opposite Cate Blanchett.
She was wearing a gray evening dress with a strapless bra, her golden hair was curled up on her shoulders, her gray-blue eyes were a bit lazy, and her every frown and smile was indescribable.
However, she never looked at Sean at all, except for the initial greeting, as if he didn't exist.
Sean felt very bad, just like the thing he loved was moving away from him. He told himself that he was just chasing a shadow. She was just temperament similar to her, but he still couldn't get rid of it.
If I had just wanted to look at her from afar, a month ago on the set of "Lord of the Rings" in New Zealand, he could clearly feel that the other party was still like that, but under today's stimulation, he suddenly felt a strong urge to possess her.
No one can tell the pain, it can only be buried in his heart. He can't even look at her for a moment, so as not to let people see something. He didn't want to cause any trouble to make Kate embarrassed, after all, he was shameless. As the bottom line, this was still firmly controlled by him.
So, Frederick and others misunderstood him because he failed to win the award and was unhappy, so let them misunderstand.
After the best movie was presented to "American Beauty", the banquet finally began. It was just a talk while dining. It was too indecent to sit like this.
The atmosphere became easier as well. Many people got up and started walking around. Some people congratulated each other, some went to the smoking area to smoke, and some people took photos with movie fans who also lived here by chance.
Sean saw many acquaintances, such as Drew Barrymore and her best friend Cameron Diaz. Cameron was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at this Golden Globe Awards.
They also came over to greet Sean and comfort him, saying that it didn't matter if they didn't win the award. They laughed and laughed for a while before leaving, and their eyes kept looking at him unscrupulously.
"I just auditioned in "Charlie's Angels" starring them." Sean then explained.
Unfortunately, both Jude and Hoffman looked like they didn't believe it. Jude even looked at Gwyneth in a special way, but unfortunately the latter did not respond much. As for Frederick, he began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Kate still had no intention of paying attention. Sean finally found an opportunity to say hello to her, and she just nodded, so that he suddenly wanted to pull Jennifer over to show it.
The Golden Globe Awards have awards for TV series, so many TV actors will also be present. Of course, actors like "Friends" who are popular TV series will receive invitations if they have nominations.
However, this idea was just turned around and was left out. Not to mention that each other's tables were far apart. Just because Lisa and Courtene were there, Sean was destined to be impossible for him to pass, not to mention that they had an agreement.
Although Sean was depressed for a long time after being half-forced by Jennifer to agree to this agreement, after learning in detail about her breakup with Brad, he could only sigh for her.
Simply put, it is similar to the previous life. After finding a new woman, Brad deliberately exposed it to the media, creating a situation where he dumped her. No wonder that when he comforted her that night, her face became so bad, and she said nothing about not dating a man in the future.
Maybe he should have brought Naomi here, maybe by bringing the three of them together, he can summon the dragon to realize his wish...Sean was thinking randomly.
He was really not in the mood to eat, so he ate some staple food and sat for a while and chatted with Jude and the others for a while, then got up and said goodbye. Although Frederick had not used up, he also got up. Who made him his agent?
"Even if you are in a bad mood, don't you have to do this?" He caught up with him and complained.
"Someone has left, and it's no big deal for me to leave now. The award ceremony has ended anyway." Sean shrugged, "It's better to go back and find a bar with Garen and the others to have a drink."
"This is, although the atmosphere of the Golden Globe Awards is easier than other awards ceremony, it is an awards ceremony after all. If you want to be comfortable, it is better to be in a bar, nightclub or club." A voice came from behind, and then Weinstein, who was thrusting his stomach, rushed up.
"Are you going to run away, Harvey?" Sean asked half-jokingly.
"I just left early, there's a party tonight," Weinstein shrugged, then looked at him with a smile, "Are you coming to attend, Sean?"
There is no doubt that this is his purpose.
"No problem, it's still early anyway, so it's no big deal to go crazy." Frederick agreed without waiting for Sean to speak.
Sean couldn't help but frowned slightly, and Weinstein, who saw it, said: "It's great. If you have any friends, just call them together, as there are more people."
"Thank you, Harvey." Since the other party said so, Sean did not refuse.
The Paisson Club where Weinstein held the party is not far from Beverly Hills, just south of Culver City, located between many cinemas and mansions.
As a satellite city in Los Angeles, Culver City has a deeper connection with the Hollywood film industry than Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. After Harry Culver built the city here in 1917, MGM placed one of the film studios here three years later. Thunderbolt Hua Film also settled here, and Elvis also used the studio to rehearse when he became popular.
Now, like Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, this place has become a place where many celebrities live. Drew has a house here, so there are many high-end clubs here.
"Frankly speaking, if Xiao Qiao hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered that you had appeared in my movie, Sean. I have to say, you are very outstanding. In more than a year, you can go from a newcomer to a dazzling new star, almost a handful of actors." The person who spoke was a man in his thirties with a beard, who looked a bit Latin-derived and had a very cute smile.
"Did you hear it? Sean, Robert is praising you." Jordanna said, giving Sean a elbow.
"Well...thank you, Robert." Sean wretched his face and touched the ribs that were hit by her elbow.
Seeing his appearance, several people around him laughed. The fat man in his thirties with a beard with a round glasses smiled the most.
"You're not dating, are you?" He also asked.
But amid the laughter, the middle-aged man in his forties standing on the far right was still expressionless.
"I have seen many meteors, and some even passed through the sky very brightly, but quickly disappeared without a trace. So, if I were you, I would reflect on myself every morning, thinking about what was not done well, and thinking about what could be done better." He said this, then greeted others and left immediately.
After being mixed up like this, the atmosphere became a little awkward. After a while, the fat man smiled: "Don't care, Sean, he has this temper."
"It's okay, Gus is right. Modesty is a virtue, and modesty can make people progress." Sean replied with a smile, which greatly relieved the atmosphere and everyone started to laugh again.
"Gus doesn't seem to like you very much?" Jordanna tiptoed to Sean's ear and said.
"No one can make everyone like it." Sean replied. In fact, he guessed the reason why the other party didn't like him, but it was difficult to tell.
The middle-aged man who left was Gus Van Sant, the director of "The Catcher", and the screenwriter of "The Catcher", the male lead and supporting actors are Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. With this relationship, it would be strange if Sant had a good impression of Sean. But finally, he was not like some people, and he started to mock him.
Of course, there must be factors that are either directors or producers around. For example, the one who spoke to Sean at the beginning was Robert Rodglidz, the director of "The Deadly College", and the fat man who teased him was Kevin Smith, the producer of "The Mind Catcher".
