375. Chapter 375 At the party
"Congratulations, Peter, the new Oscar-Best Director, is amazing."
"Thank you, I'm so happy."
"Congratulations, Peter, "The Lord of the Rings" is a classic work, and you won the best director without any dispute."
"I'm so happy to hear you say that."
Seeing people keep coming forward to greet Peter Jackson, Sean stopped immediately. He was not in a hurry anyway, and it was not too late to wait until everyone else finished speaking. Anyway, this is a party in "Vanity Fair", Jackson would not go anywhere else, and he didn't want to win over or attract the other party. After "Lord of the Rings", he was basically the director of ***. If he wanted to make a movie, he would definitely be the main focus of CG, investing hundreds of millions of dollars, so he just went over to say hello and maintain his familiarity.
Moreover, Jackson was also excited at this time, basically saying "thank you" and "I'm so happy", so let's talk about it when he calms down.
Sean didn't wait too long. After about ten minutes, the people around Jackson became scarce. Then the fat man moved his shoulders with relief. It seemed that several groups of people should have come before.
"Hey Peter," Sean walked over and raised his hand, "How is it?"
"Hey, Sean," Jackson smiled and clenched at him, "You really want me to repeat it again?"
"Well, then I won't congratulate you anymore," Sean raised his hand, "Anyway, this is your honor, no one can take it away."
Then, he changed into a tone of emotion: "Frankly speaking, I really didn't expect "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" to win the Best Director and Best Movie, which is the first fantasy movie to win these two honors."
That's right, in the history of the Oscars, before "The Lord of the Rings", no fantasy film has ever won two awards: Best Director and Best Film. The so-called fantasy film refers to the themes of science fiction, fantasy, and magic. Although they have rich imagination and give people a pleasant viewing experience, they have nothing to do with reality. What Oscars attach the most importance to is to use movies to show reality, so biographical themes are so popular.
So even a science fiction classic like "E.T" can only be nominated but not won. As for "Avatar" a few years later, the box office may be amazing, but the awards are raining and thundering, and "Lord of the Rings" is a precedent. Of course, Sean still remembers that after "Avatar", a "Gratio" won the Best Movie and Best Director with a Science Fiction film, but that's because this science fiction film is very close to reality compared to similar movies - although all spacecraft are on the same orbit have been criticized for this - this film school opened a small mouth for it.
Even so, even if "Lord of the Rings" relied on Tolkien's influence and after three years of fermentation, it was still unprecedented, so it's no wonder Jackson was so happy.
"This shows that the film academy is not an old antique. They know what kind of movie is the best." The fat man said frantically. Well, this guy was bribed like this. You know, when he failed to nominate for Best Director last year, he really complained.
"It's a pity that you didn't get nominated. I watched "Cold Mountain" and your performance was really good." Jackson also knew when to say something nice, so he immediately praised Sean, and then changed the subject: "By the way, do you have any conflicts with the new line? I didn't see you at various parties before. Even if you don't play a role in the third part, you are still a member of the team."
Because of that stunning performance, this fat man from New Zealand still had a good impression of Sean, and he helped to facilitate the contract, so he guessed something, so he made a test at this time.
"It's indeed a bit contradictory, you know." Sean didn't hide it, and even took this opportunity to remind him, "You should be careful, Peter - by the way, are there any arrangements recently? After the successful end of "The Lord of the Rings"."
Some things need not be said too obvious, so after mentioning them, he immediately changed the subject.
Jackson raised his eyebrows, and did not ask questions, but introduced excitedly: "Of course, it was decided last year, and Universal has agreed that I will remake "King Kong"."
Then he thought of something and patted Sean on the shoulder: "How about it, are you interested in playing a role?"
"Oh?" Sean was a little surprised. Although he remembered that the other party did remake "King Kong", he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Before he could express his opinion, Jackson suddenly showed an ambiguous smile: "The heroine is a very unique woman, you will cooperate well."
Sean was even more surprised. He glanced at the side in front of him, and couldn't help but look over, and then immediately turned around and stared at Jackson. I didn't know what to say, because Naomi was joking with someone at the bar there. Well, Naomi was recommended to him after all, and the two of them behaved intimately during the crew. When they think about some of Sean's current reputations, Jackson naturally thought about it?
"Forget it, I'll be busy until at least August this year, and I've never had a complete rest since July last year. I'm sorry, Peter." Sean did not mention this, and the change-indicated rejected his invitation.
Seeing this, Jackson did not invite him again. The two of them said a few more words, and Sean immediately said goodbye, and then... walked towards Naomi.
Anyway, Jackson saw it, and it doesn't matter if he lived in front of him. He shouldn't be the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense. Besides, it doesn't matter if he is seen here. As long as he doesn't appear in the media, it's no big deal, and he hasn't comforted her tonight.
"What a pity, before pronounced the name, I thought you were likely to win the award for a few minutes." Sean said to Naomi.
Although there are no one around her now, he still dares not make too intimate actions. In any case, he is now a person with a girlfriend, and he openly flirts with other women. His private life style, which is not very good, may decline more and more. It has to be said that although his performance with Jessica diverted others' attention, it also more or less restricted himself.
"It's okay, there's still a chance in the future. You don't even have a nomination," Naomi had answered this question before, and then smiled, "By the way, aren't you going to congratulate your sister?"
Sean immediately coughed dryly, his face getting hot. Although he just briefly mentioned to her what happened to Charlize after that, how could Naomi not guess what he did.
"I have already congratulated you, but there are more people congratulating you, so I just said a few words and left." Sean explained briefly, then changed the subject, "Why haven't you told me that you promised Jackson to play the leading role in his new movie?"
"What are you worried about?" Naomi leaned against the bar, held her chin with her hands, and looked at him with a smile.
Well, with the success of "Mulholland Road", "Lord of the Rings", "Midnight Bell" and "21g", Naomi has begun to build up her own confidence. Although her relationship with Sean has not changed, she has become more and more proactive and more capable of grasping people.
"Of course, I'm worried that the audience is used to your heroic appearance in "Lord of the Rings", and suddenly becomes a pitiful little person in "King Kong" who is weak and weak in being held in "King Kong". The contrast is really big." Sean raised his eyebrows and said.
Well, as the queen of Rohan in the movie, although she looked like a weak woman at first, she secretly wore her armor and went to the battlefield in the third part. In the end, she killed the Angma Witch King with one sword in the Battle of White City, which was quite like a hero among women. Naomi's performance in this section was remarkable, especially when Angma Witch King claimed that "no one (man) could kill me", she took off her helmet and shook her long hair, and pierced the other party's mask in the voice of "I'm not a man (man)" and looked very handsome, even Sean was surprised.
Of course, Naomi has always been gentle and lovely in front of him. It is no wonder that she left a deep impression on Sean when she had such an expression, so that she felt that she was much better than the original one - although he had forgotten who played the original one.
Not only that, after the movie was released, her fans also liked it very much, attracting a large number of book fans and movie fans trained by "The Lord of the Rings". That's why Sean joked that playing a weak woman at this time would easily disappoint the movie fans.
This is impossible. After all, she had played several weak roles before. Sean said this just to divert her attention and let her put the idea of counterattack on it, and then immediately began to sigh again: "What a pity, in Peter's habit, this movie will have to be filmed for at least four to five months, so our job has to be rejected again."
Naomi was stunned, but soon reacted, her face turned slightly red, she glared at Sean awkwardly, twisted her head away, but there was still a look of anger between her eyebrows. The so-called work naturally refers to being pregnant. After Sean agreed, although she spent time to create a person for several reasons, she had not been able to get pregnant for various reasons, so she went for a check-up.
Of course, the results of the inspection were fine, so the two continued immediately. However, if Naomi went to Jackson's new film to play the heroine, then this matter would have to be artificially refused. This is a normal thing, but Naomi was somewhat uncomfortable with talking about this in such an occasion. Her skin was not as thick as Sean.
Just as Sean smiled proudly and was about to continue speaking, a voice suddenly came over: "Nami, so you are here."
