510 Friendly Advice
As soon as the door of the cloakroom opened, Austin's steps stopped. Lance, who had been slowing down half a step, also braked urgently. He raised his head and saw Gwyneth, who was slightly panicked. She seemed to have not expected someone to come out. She nodded apologetically and pointed to the direction of the cloakroom, "Sorry, I don't know anyone will come out."
Austin waved his hand very politely, but instead made way out of the position and gentlemanly let Gwyneth go in first.
Gwyneth's gaze turned to Lance, and the clear eyes were filled with a shallow light of water, facing Lance's eyes, trying to establish a connection through his eyes. With a hint of intimacy in his weakness, he could clearly feel the friendly atmosphere on her. This was very rare for Gwyneth, who had always been arrogant.
Lance doesn't care or be curious about Gwyneth's changes, nor does he plan to pay attention to them. They are just ordinary Hollywood colleagues. If Lance now has a project in hand, in which there is a role suitable for Gwyneth, then he will not ignore this choice because of personal grudges. Gwyneth can contribute to the box office of the movie and make him a fortune. Why not do it? But the problem is that there is no one at the moment.
Lance nodded politely to Gwyneth, then made a way out and made a gentleman invitation.
Gwyneth's eyes remained on Lance, trying to find a slight response, but unfortunately, she was disappointed. An indescribable anger hit her heart, but at the same time, a gesture of trying to surrender controlled her brain. Maybe she should speak out and show weakness to Lance, but her pride would not allow it.
How cruelly she broke up with Lance, she chose to leave at the lowest point and most desperate moment of Lance. Now, before she knew it, Lance has grown into an existence she needs to look up to, and that huge gap tortures her all the time, and even laughs at her.
While hesitating, Gwyneth withdrew her gaze, showed a thankful smile at Austin, and then took a step forward. Her self-esteem and pride prevailed. After entering the cloakroom, she heard the gentleman's voice of Austin say hello, "Madam." Then, the tedious footsteps gradually disappeared on the carpet, and the door of the cloakroom closed again.
Gwyneth slowly closed her eyes, and she couldn't tell what the mixed feelings on the tip of her tongue was.
Austin didn't notice the surging emotions or noticed them, but showed no signs. He and Lance continued the topic just now. The two returned to the first floor and integrated into tonight's carnival party. After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye to each other, and Lance was quickly surrounded again.
Although no journalist can attend Oscar Night mainly to protect artists, magazine editors are guests of honor because they control the promotional channels of the entire Hollywood. Editors of magazines such as "Vanity Fair", "Entertainment Weekly" and "Variety Show" are popular and valued even compared with those of first-line artists.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lance met three magazine editors, including the famous Anna Wintour NNNR, the real prototype in the "Queen of Prada". He controls the most authoritative, popular and top-notch Time magazine's American version. His status in the time circle is at the top of the pyramid, and even in Hollywood, it cannot be underestimated.
Anna invited Lance, hoping that he could serve as the cover character of the April issue of Time magazine, which is a very honorable thing for Lance. In the history of Time magazine, male artists counted the periodicals of the cover with one hand.
"Wow, others have always said that many people are discussing me now, and now I finally feel a little real. So, is the benchmark I compare to David Beckham?" Lance's response made Anna smile. Under the polite social mask, her eyes also leaked a hint of light. "No, I think maybe someone will be more suitable." Anna said, lifting her chin. Lance turned along Anna's gaze, and then she saw Johnny Depp coming.
In the past few years after the "Pirates of the Caribbean" won a complete victory, it can be regarded as the peak of Johnny's career, almost taking both box office and awards. He is not only the most profitable actor in the United States today, but also the most popular man in the United States at present, and almost swept the list of all sexy men.
"I hope you're talking about good things just now." Johnny had a bohemian temperament. Even though he was wearing a decent black suit, his flowing long hair and his unique smoky makeup still had a unique taste. In a word, Lance and Anna immediately chuckled. "You are definitely the focus of the focus tonight. I came here just to express my respect and then ask, would I be the right male protagonist in the next work?"
Johnny's words were obviously said to Lance. It was originally just a normal conversation on Oscar Night, but Lance heard the profound meaning. Is this a hint at the sequel of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but Lance's pupils shrank slightly, is this a positive signal or a negative signal?
Anna seemed to smell an abnormality, teased for a few words before leaving. Lance said half-jokingly, "I thought your next plan should be to film Captain Jack Sparrow. You know, people are now looking forward to the captain's subsequent legendary adventure story."
Johnny shrugged, "Oh, this is obviously an exciting adventure, I can't wait to set sail again." Johnny did not look at Lance's gaze, but just talked with a smile, as if it was just a casual chat. This small detail seemed to suggest something, "You know, when Captain Jack Sparrow was just preparing, almost everyone thought we were crazy, including myself." Johnny pointed at himself and chuckled.
"However, Gore always insisted that it was right, he convinced Jerry, and then they convinced the big bosses together and let us go and make trouble. God, there are so many difficulties in a movie before it starts, it's unimaginable." Johnny wiped the sweat from his forehead exaggeratedly and looked at Lance seriously, "Can you imagine?"
Johnny's eyes were firmly locked on Lance this time, as if this question was too serious. Lance pursed his lips slightly and said with a chuckling, "I'm afraid I can't do it."
"But this is not the end." Johnny seemed very satisfied with Lance's answer and showed a bright smile. "After the film was finished, the film was almost shot during the editing process, and almost lost the opportunity to the big screen. In the end, it was Gore and Jerry to make sure that our efforts were not in vain. Jesus Christ, during that time, the actors in our entire crew were worried about being afraid, especially Kaira, you know, she vomited in the dark while filming the sea scene, and then took seasickness medicine and fell asleep. If the movie could not be released, it would be a disaster."
"The audience is lucky, aren't it?" Lance felt Johnny's sight again, and he said with the flow.
"Haha." Johnny laughed out loud, very generously, and patted Lance on the shoulder hard, "It should be said that we are lucky, our work has been recognized. Who would have thought that the story of pirates could rise again?" Lance raised his eyebrows. He originally planned to speak, but Johnny did not give him a chance to speak, and continued, "Look at me, I have been talking about my own affairs, and it should belong to you tonight." This was the second time he mentioned this sentence, which was almost the same, but the actual action was a different look.
"I think there are countless people who care about your next work tonight, so I won't waste your time, otherwise those producers will have to settle the score with me." Johnny said humorously, then patted Lance's arm again and turned away.
Lance stood there, looking meaningfully at Johnny's back as he left.
The second one, this is the second one to come and warn him not to take over the "Pirates of the Caribbean". Kaira was the first one, and she issued a kind reminder at the Oscar nomination luncheon. In less than two weeks, he received the second "friendly" advice.
Johnny's words just now were actually the same content: the crew was very united, they worked together to create this work, achieving hard-won success. They were looking forward to the shooting of the sequel, but they did not welcome a bystander who sat in it. Among them, Gore and Jerry were undoubtedly the most important core link, and all the actors supported them, and their hearts stood together.
Lance thought this was really an interesting thing, or even absurd thing.
In fact, Lance had already made a decision. If his script idea was rejected, he would make a second or even a third effort, making Robert Eiger and Jerry Brookheimer realize that the consequences of their script framework might lead to. Shrinking the script pattern is not a timidity, but rather an improvement. He would do his best to sell his script idea. However, if his efforts failed in the end, then Lance would give up the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project without hesitation, because after comprehensive consideration, this project is not worth his energy.
It would be more cost-effective to have a cosmic project, or to re-find a suitable commercial film project.
But now, first it was Keira and then Johnny. They regarded Lance as a flood without any further action. This made Lance even more interested. He always had this personality: he refused to accept "no" as the answer, and even if he wanted to refuse, he should be the one who gave the order.
So, where will this game go next? To be continued.
