After patiently waiting for Geena Davis to finish her acceptance speech excitedly, Eric walked off the stage with her and returned to his seat.
What followed was a long three-hour running time. The nomination for the best soundtrack for "Home Alone" was completely negligible. Eric just laughed at the jokes of the guests on stage that were not too funny.
As a young man who has achieved great success only half a year after he broke into Hollywood, Eric has been ridiculed by guests on stage more than once, so the camera lens often sweeps over him, and there will be a close-up from time to time, In this case, Eric didn't even have a chance to distract himself. But Eric didn't feel so boring. Instead, he compared the difference between Oscar and the present more than ten years later with relish.
After a few hours, Eric's biggest feeling is that the Oscars of this era have not taken the more extreme route of art films. Most of the award-winning works such as "Rain Man", "Working Girl", "Beetlejuice" and so on are partial commercial film. After more than a decade, the Oscars have almost become a stage for politically correct films and extremely niche films. As long as actors intend to go to the awards, they must either play great men or patients.
After more than two hours, most of the main awards have been awarded. After the best cinematography award, finally ushered in the best animated short film award. Everyone knows that this award will be followed by the heavyweight Best Actor, so they all look forward to the Best Short Film Award passing quickly.
Maybe I also felt the expectations of the guests in the audience. The award presenter Carrie Fisher, who once participated in the "Star Wars" series, just gave a brief introduction, then opened the envelope and read: "The winner of the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film is—— The Tin Soldier, John Lasseter."
Amidst the applause, Virginia glanced at Eric again, and after getting a look of encouragement, she got up and walked to the stage.
Carrie Fisher's list of winners is obviously male, but a sexy beauty in a navy blue tube top dress came on stage, and the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but ask questions.
"who is this?"
"What a beautiful lady!"
"It's so strange that there is a woman named John!"
The organizer obviously had a premeditated plan. After Virginia stepped onto the stage, the camera shifted directly in front of Eric and gave him a big close-up. He stared forward with any expression, as if he didn't know that a camera was taking a close-up of him.
But this kind of irrelevant cover-up didn't have much effect, and the surrounding guests all looked at Eric with playful smiles after Virginia came on stage, which made him even more inseparable .
The audience who paid a little attention to the gossip news in front of the TV quickly remembered the identity of Virginia. This beauty is said to be the heroine of a movie written by Eric himself.
In the apartment in Manhattan, New York, Aniston nestled on the sofa, hugged a plush bear, and stared at the TV screen motionless all night, hoping to see her boyfriend again, and even looking forward to those award presenters who would tease him more A few words, but every time I saw Eric, I would involuntarily divert my eyes to Virginia sitting next to Eric, and the plush bear in his hand would be stimulated for a while.
And seeing the scene where Virginia came to accept the award, the little girl couldn't help it anymore, she muttered a bit of bitch, and pulled her mouth hard, as if she was tearing the flesh of a woman who cheated on her boyfriend. At the same time, the poor plush bear in his arms lost another tuft of hair.
"No, I'm going back tomorrow," Aniston vented. He didn't pay attention to the next awards. He rushed into the bedroom and started to pack his luggage. At the same time, he remembered the words his father persuaded him, If you really care about this feeling, it's best to stay by his side. No sincere feeling can overcome the weariness of distance. And if you feel that you can't hold on, then give up early to avoid more pain.
"I don't want to give up, why should I give up on him for those little bitches!" Muttering non-stop, the little girl neatly packed a lot of clothes, and finally put Eric's mansion I found out my key, stuffed it into my satchel, picked up the phone and dialed the airline's booking number.
Almost at the same time that Virginia was on the podium, Jennifer Connelly also watched this scene through cable TV in a hotel in Rome, the Italian capital of Europe.
After the girl rejected Eric that night, she had to return to Europe again and asked to make up some shots of "Death of the Swan". As the agent said, she just gave up an important opportunity, so she couldn't be in After cutting off her connections in Europe, it was at the age of thirteen that she played the role of Deborah in the famous Italian director Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America", and she was recognized by the Italian film circle. A usable contact line.
Connery also sensitively noticed that her manager had become much colder towards her. During this time, Lester shifted more energy to several other artists under him, and paid less and less attention to himself. Even this trip to Rome, the other party did not come with him.
Every time Connery thinks about his decision a few days ago, he will accumulate a layer of regret. After the close-up shot of Eric sitting upright appeared on the TV, Connery couldn't help but took the lady's handbag next to him, took out the communication, and looked again at the series that had actually been deeply engraved in his mind. Number.
"Is it still useful to call him now?" Connery stared blankly at the communication in his hand, talking to himself unconfidently.
Although far away in Rome, Connery still learned through sporadic news in the newspaper that all the roles of "Dark War" have been confirmed. Although the list of other actors has not been revealed except for the two leading actors, she knows that they must be I don't have my share anymore. Calling now, it is impossible for Eric to replace others and let him act. Connery feels that Eric is not the boss of those movie giants, and the movie projects in his hand are very limited, so it is impossible to have a suitable role for him at any time. , she won't get any benefit from making this call.
Virginia was already satisfied to be able to show her face on the Oscar podium. The girl did not do anything unexpected. She took the statuette in a regular manner and took out a copy of Eric's hand to her in advance. After finishing his award speech, he followed the award presenters to the backstage.
Unsurprisingly, the best actor was picked by Dustin Hoffman, who had a wonderful performance in "Rain Man", followed by two technical awards. When the best director was about to be awarded, Virginia won As the little golden man returned to his seat, his charming face was flushed, coupled with the mature charm exuding from his whole body, the men around couldn't help turning their eyes to the girl, and at the same time secretly envied Eric's beauty.
Although it was not the time to speak, Virginia still looked at Eric affectionately, and her gratitude was beyond words.
After the unsurprising Best Picture win for "Rain Man," the three-hour awards ceremony finally came to an end, and it was party time. The famous Oscar Vanity Fair party will not appear until a few years later, but it does not mean that the stars will go back to their respective homes after the Oscars.
"Home Alone" doesn't have a single award, and of course there won't be a celebration party. After leaving the show, the Longkers, who were keen on this circle, wanted to take little Stu to some parties to get acquainted, but it's a pity that the little guy sat in the awards hall. After three hours, already tired and drowsy (of course, it may be pretending), the Runkers can only go home with their son disappointed.
Because there were too many people, Virginia did not hold Eric on her arm. After Eric finished greeting the acquaintances around him, she leaned towards him and asked, "Eric, where are we going next?" ?”
Eric played with the statuette that Virginia carefully held in his hand, and said, "What do you mean, I just received invitations to several parties, from the crew of "Rain Man" and "Working Girl" The crew, and Warner, Disney, they held, oh, before Amy said that Columbia will also hold a party."
Virginia thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Or, "Rain Man"?"
Eric snapped his fingers: "I think so too. The "Rain Man" celebration party is at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Beverly Hills. After the party, you don't have to travel as far as Hilton."
After making a decision, the two found Kapoor Sheed and drove to the Sunset Tower Hotel together.
As the big winner of this year's Oscars, the celebration banquet of the "Rain Man" crew is undoubtedly the most grand and grand. Eric's arrival was also welcomed by Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman and a group of directors, Producers welcome.
Walking through the crowd, greeting and chatting with people he knew or didn't know, Cruise suddenly pulled Eric aside, and said to Virginia who had been holding Eric's arm: "Madsen Miss, I want to speak to Eric alone."
After entering the party for so long, Virginia has been tired of being around Eric. In fact, she is a little cautious in her heart. She hooked up with Eric at the party herself, and she definitely doesn't want other women to do the same. Now that Cruise spoke in person, although Virginia was dissatisfied, she could only nod and leave.
"Eric, I have a new idea about "Dark War". Look, can we shoot like this..." Cruise drove away Virginia without any psychological pressure, and began to ask Ai Rick talks about his new idea for the plot of "The Dark War."
Eric listened carefully to Cruise's long speech, and patiently waited for the other party to finish speaking, before he had time to summarize all Cruise's points of view, and summed it up in one sentence: add drama!
