462. Chapter 462 Vanity
"Remember what I said, you may be the first among us to win the Oscar for Best Actor." Sean laughed and said to the fat man with eyes in front of him.
This man is the newly born Oscar winner tonight, Philip Seymour Hoffman, who worked with Sean in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Cold Mountain". His previous joke has now become
become reality.
"Thank you, Sean," Hoffman smiled very reservedly, but the excitement and pride in his eyes could not be concealed. "Frankly speaking, when I played an elderly high school student in "Scent of a Woman", I would never have imagined what I would be like today.
appearance."
What he said made everyone around him burst into laughter. Indeed, Hoffman has neither a handsome appearance nor great luck, so he spends most of his time playing supporting roles in various movies. But he has honed his acting skills.
In the biopic "Capote", his performance is almost impeccable.
Of course, if this is all, he may not be able to win an Oscar. After all, these awards are never entirely determined by acting skills. However, the biographical film with a gay protagonist is not only in line with the taste of the academy, but also politically correct.
The pressure of appearing on "Brokeback Mountain," and at least a little PR, was enough for the Academy judges to make their choice.
After chatting for a few more words, Sean left here immediately. He was so lucky. He couldn't help but say this in his heart.
He knew he was a little jealous, but he couldn't help but think that if he could get this role, even if he couldn't be as good as Hoffman, as long as he was 80% good, he might be the proud one now.
Okay, don't be so stupid. If you want it, then work hard. Sean is a person who has his own goals after all. He quickly adjusted and looked around. The party of "Vanity Fair" is always so lively.
Clooney had already said hello, and Hoffman had already congratulated him in person, so now...he quickly found his target, took a deep breath and walked over.
"Hey, Reese, congratulations, now your dream has come true." Sean walked up to Reese Witherspoon and extended his hand, and he specifically chose it when she was chatting with a female friend.
"Sean?" Reese was a little surprised at first, and then smiled nonchalantly, "Thank you, that's true."
Several of her friends looked surprised, obviously surprised that she knew this playboy who was already well-known in Hollywood. Some of her eyes even started to flicker, not knowing what they were thinking.
"When did you meet, Reese?" Someone still asked, with a sense of probing.
"We met before and chatted for a few words," Reese shrugged, then looked at Sean with a "you know" smile, "To be honest, Sean is a very cute little man."
Suddenly, there was laughter, with an ambiguous or other meaning, and some eyes kept flicking back and forth between her and him.
"Thank you." Sean raised his eyebrows, and then secretly grinded his teeth. There is no need to say more at this point, it is basically confirmed. This is... really unpleasant.
"Perhaps, we can find an opportunity to continue chatting in the future." Reese said with a wave of eyes.
As soon as she said this sentence, several women around her couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds. Isn't this too direct? Although they all know about her housework, she has not officially divorced yet, right?
Sean was also a little surprised and raised his eyebrows again, but his mood suddenly improved. Well, at least he was somewhat charming and not exactly an award-winning machine.
Despite this, he still maintained his manners and continued to say a few words before leaving. After walking a certain distance and no longer hearing the giggles and words such as "It's really cute", he let out a depressed breath.
"You look like you are running away." A voice penetrated my ears at this time.
"If you don't mind, I hope I can find a place to put my head on your shoulder and cry bitterly?" Sean stopped and turned around, teasing the tall and beautiful girl who came towards him.
said.
"Then you can take the opportunity to do other things?" Charlize snorted.
"You look so unreliable?" Sean made a sad expression.
"You're just so unreliable." Charlize gave him an unceremonious eye roll.
Sean didn't speak anymore, just stared at her delicate face. Although Charlize let his gaze look at her at first, she couldn't help but ask in the end: "Are you a little too unscrupulous, Sean?"
"No, no, no, dear Charlie, I was just thinking..." Sean grinned, "If I am really lucky enough to get a woman to win the award, maybe I should let you win the Best Actress title again this year."
Charlize was stunned for a moment, then snorted contemptuously: "Don't be so pretentious, Sean, do you really think I slept with you because I have feelings for you?"
Sean smiled and didn't answer. Charlize glared at him and had to change the subject: "So you and Reese Witherspoon slept with each other?"
"And Rachel Weisz." Sean shrugged. He had already talked to Rachel before coming to the party to chat with Clooney and Hoffman.
Although the other party did not give an affirmative answer - of course, Sean asked very implicitly - he just said "thank you for your help" and the like, and smiled very charmingly, as if he was looking at the smoke and flirting. And he was so serious.
When she turned around to talk to her friend, she immediately returned to her previous elegant look. Should I say that she was indeed an excellent actor? Or were women born to be actors?
However, Sean felt that he would probably be the only one to see her like this. The one who lived with her... who was it? He might not have seen it before. He couldn't be sure, but he believed in his intuition, so he somewhat let his vanity go.
Her heart was satisfied. The same was true for Reese. Even if she slept with him because of that...luck, he at least left a deep impression on her.
This is inevitable. Everyone has vanity. Maybe some people look at his behavior from the perspective of bystanders, or in God mode, and find Sean's behavior disgusting. However, when they react like this
, isn’t it also full of arrogance, superiority and vanity?
"Then you should be happy. In the future, there will be many women sleeping with you in order to win Oscars." Charlize said in a playful tone.
"Well..." Sean laughed, but couldn't continue.
It sounds amazing. Lucky Sean, as long as you sleep with him, you may win the Oscar for Best Actress. Don't you believe it? Look at the series of award-winning movie queens starting in 2000. Which one has not been rumored to have had an affair with him?
However, for the person involved, this is tantamount to objectifying him. In the eyes of the swarming women, he is just a tool, not a person. No one will be happy if he is objectified. This sentence is why Xiao
After Eun is aware of it, he will test Rachel and Reese, and after getting the answer he wants, he will be secretly relieved and slightly proud of himself.
"Let's not talk about this, Charlie. Maybe we can find a secluded corner and have a drink?" Sean changed the subject.
"Forget it, I'm suddenly not interested in you anymore, Sean," Charlize shrugged, "At least I'm not interested tonight."
Then she glanced away and said, "Besides, you haven't said hello to a certain woman so far tonight."
Wherever he looked, Naomi was chatting and laughing with several people. Sean who looked over immediately coughed dryly.
Charlize is one of the few women who knows about his relationship with Naomi, and despite their interesting relationship, she often teases him about women and tries to push him, but rarely involves Naomi. Approximately
Is it...after learning about Naomi's experience, I admire her but also feel sympathy for her fate?
"What a pity. I thought I could discuss with you about winning the Best Actress next year." Although he knew that Charlize was right and he hadn't had any contact with Naomi tonight, Sean still couldn't bear it.
Zhu Xiaoxiao teased.
This is the state between them, they are always noisy and don't like to admit defeat - although Sean always "takes the overall situation into consideration", he will regain the ground if he can, and he will not fall behind if he can.
"I'm satisfied with just one. I don't need more. I'm very satisfied." Charlize snorted, then turned around and left.
"No need or no way?" Sean raised his voice slightly.
Charlize suddenly stopped and turned around, her slightly narrowed eyes revealed a dangerous look, which made Sean a little nervous involuntarily, and then, she suddenly burst into laughter.
"Speaking of which, Naomi seems to have a child," Charlize asked meaningfully, "Do you know whose child it is?"
Sean suddenly coughed violently, and Charlize strode away with a giggle, attracting the attention of many people.
Well, I knew she would definitely find this out. Sean was a little depressed. After all, there were some things that were hard to say to Galen and the others, but he could say them to her, and she was so smart. With just a few clues, she could deduce many situations.
.
So...she came to see me at this time? What does she want to do? Just to bully me? Sean thought so. Of course, maybe she really just bullied him, and Sean really wanted to believe this, but...
Well, people always like to think about things in complicated ways.
Soon Sean put it behind his mind. No matter what Charlize was thinking, one thing was right. He did give Naomi a little cold shoulder tonight, although he would spend the night at her house tonight. After that, Sean went over
We chatted with Naomi, and then quietly left together when the time was up. After returning, we teased the little guy for a while. It must have been too good to eat. The little thing was so meaty that it made people want to pinch it a few times.
But Sean didn't dare to use too much force. If he made him cry, Naomi would definitely kick him off the bed.
So far, because I have a nanny and I am not here very often, it seems to be quite easy for my father to do it.
Let’s not mention this for the moment. Although the Oscars have ended, there will inevitably be some aftermath, but this year it seems that there are a few more things.
Chapter completed!
