Chapter 31 "Vanity Fair"

The dust of the Oscar Awards Ceremony has finally settled. Here, the newly-promoted actor and actress who won the golden statuette are still posing for a group photo. Over there, the Vanity Fair Oscar dinner party can't wait for the lively start.

Vanity Fair is a famous fashion magazine in the United States, published by Condé Nast Publishing Company.The content of the reports is mostly about the private lives of celebrities, and its news, comments, essays and other content also have a certain depth, and are quite popular among high-income groups and ordinary people.

Every year after the Oscars, Hollywood stars will come to participate in the "Vanity Fair" party, which is an all-private invitation system.

Most of the actors and actresses are dressed in Chinese costumes, smiling for the camera.

Isabella walked next to Claire, she looked a little charming this night.

"Come with me." It seemed to be luring Alice into the mysterious world.

The night looked blurred.The night view of the city is bustling and lively, beautiful and charming. When night falls, it becomes a sea of ​​lights, a world of light. The lights on both sides of the road stretch into the distance like two long fire dragons. The neon lights are colorful and dazzling. Warmly welcome the passing pedestrians, a string of bright car lights on the road, like a long flashing river, rushing endlessly.

She looked at the girl beside her, "Do you like it?" Claire's eyes reflected the beauty.The balcony is away from the hustle and bustle inside.

Claire replied, "Yeah."

Isabella rolled her eyes and said with emotion, "You gave me a new life."

Then he leaned slightly in front of the railing and made a nasal voice: "Huh?"

Then he looked at Claire and said, "Director?" It was beautiful.

Before Claire continued to answer, he turned his back to her, looked at the distant scenery, and continued: "If it weren't for you, I would have missed this, you know?"

She said faintly: "The last two times I stood here, at the same place and at the same time, I had to laugh for others, as if they were happier than they won the award themselves. You know, I am already 40 years old." Some exclamation. 40 years old, this is an extremely embarrassing age for an actress.I can no longer act as a young woman, should I transform to an older woman?She is famous for her beauty and leading role, not like Meryl Streep.Meryl can be nominated for leading actress and supporting actress at the same time, Meryl's roles are too wide.And Adjani is in such an embarrassing situation. As for whether there is a reason for her retirement, only she herself knows.

In a blink of an eye, as if thinking about it again, she raised her wine glass to Claire and clinked glasses with her, "Victory."

Claire nodded to her: "Yes."

Seeing the bright stars and the hustle and bustle of voices inside, Claire couldn't help saying, "It really is Vanity Fair."

Ajani smiled: "You will see more in the future."

"It's bright and beautiful. Who doesn't love Hollywood, who doesn't love this gold rush?" She winked at her. She was 40 years old but still beautiful in the prosperous age, with a child-like innocence on her face, wanting to see this young man reaction.

"Fame, fame and fortune. Everyone is crazy about it." The fascination with this flashed on her face after winning tonight. "Just like this night, Oscar queen, isn't it nice?" What an actress can bring is inestimable value.

Claire frowned after hearing this, but said nothing.

She smiled at her a little wantonly, a little relaxed after many years of long-cherished wishes.The gaffe was only at that moment, after all, the impact tonight was too great.flexible.

She asked again: "Then if you don't have money, would you be a director?" Isabella was a little curious: "Or is this your dream?"

Claire thought for a while, and only answered her: "Aren't you happy to be able to support yourself with what you like to do?"

Isabella nodded, as if talking to herself: "Yes, just like I do acting."

Some cared about this junior: "But hobbies are extensive, don't you have anything else you want to do?"

"Actually, I used to do a lot of photography, and I can become a photographer after I change my career." Claire told her seriously.

After listening to it, she laughed and said slowly: "I just want to be a housewife, a housewife."

Claire thought for a while: "Housewives' troubles?" Then said: "By the way, I saw a script last time that was about housewives."

"what?"

Claire couldn't help laughing: "It's probably going to be broadcast after filming, you can go and watch it. Housewives are actually in great danger."

"Which station?"

"It's probably ABC. Wait, can France receive ABC?" Claire was a little confused.

Isabella smiled again: "You are so cute."

Eyes lit up: "Come back to France with me."

"What are you going to do in France?"

Adjani thought for a while: "Travel to France?"

Her face was full of enthusiasm: "By the way, I still want to show you the baby's two-year-old photo."

Claire was silent for a moment to show her resistance.

It is really because of this "two-year-old photo", the photos sent will be from one year and one day to one year and five, more than 360 five photos.

Xuanwa Kuangmo opened up the conversation box, and talked uncharacteristically for a long time almost without interruption, all about interesting things about children.And Claire, who is really single, is suffering such a blow.However, this is the daily routine with Adjani in the past few months, and she is used to it.

The speaker fell silent.

Adjani slowly walked in front of her again, before anyone noticed, she lowered her head and kissed the girl's cheek lightly.

Say, "Honey."

Claire was a little puzzled: "Huh?"

"Thank you."

------

She is being introduced to his friends by Spielberg, like a child intruding into a grown-up world.A little shy but eager to try.

Too many big names tonight.

For example, "The Moment", which received nine nominations and won multiple awards tonight.

Stephen Daldry - a literary director.

Tonight, Spielberg took her with ease in it, obviously intending to support her.

In 1998, Stephen Daldry shot his first youth short film "Eight-year-old Boy", which won the 52nd British Academy of Film and Television Arts Film Award - Best Short Film. In 2000, he filmed his first feature film "Jump Out of My World", which won the 73rd Oscar Award - Best Director nomination. In 2002, he was nominated for Best Director at the 60th Golden Globe Awards for his art film "The Hours".

This is the life that is really opened and hung up.

Literary characters, literary films.

This is his strong point, which is why he has been nominated, but the chances of winning are not great.

Because the style is not very "Hollywood".

There is some truth to the saying that the directors of real literature and art come from Europe and go to Europe.But he did kill a piece of the sky.

Spielberg also asked her about her plans for the future.

She looked at her hand and replied: "Art and commerce are not opposed to each other. I just want to shoot what I like."

Spielberg is one such person.

In his more than 30 years of directing career, he has not only "Jaws", "ET", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Saving Private Ryan" and other deafening commercial masterpieces.

There are also excellent products such as "Purple", "Empire of the Sun" and "Schindler's List" that exude a strong artistic atmosphere,

There are also fashionable works such as "Artificial Intelligence" and "Minority Report" that are ahead of the trend and play with high-tech production.

He is a multi-directional director.

Just as the Champs Elysees represent a certain temperament of France, Spielberg has become a label character in American movies today.

This is like a hero created by the times.It is not that heroes make current events, but current events make heroes.Spielberg is Hollywood's own film prodigy.

Spielberg was a little teased, looked at the girl in front of him, and said:

"Do you want to be me, or to be him?"

Whether to take the path of pure literature and art, or the path of pure business, to make money or not to make money.This is a question worth thinking about.

She remembered that George Lucas said in the previous class that the core significance of "Star Wars" is not in technology, but in its rich story content.Lucas emphasized that Hollywood, which has no story depth at all, is becoming more and more like a "circus".

He said to the students: "Although the special effects are the highlight of "Star Wars", in my opinion, the real attraction of the "Star Wars" series is the rich core of the story. Patient audiences will find that this is better than the Hollywood "circus". "Movies have much more content." Although he is a veritable Hollywood director.

Claire thought for a while and was silent for a long time before saying her answer: "I want them all." She didn't hide it.

When Spielberg heard such words, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and he didn't laugh at the young man's slightly unrealistic goal.But he said encouragingly as if he were treating a friend: "Greedy ghost." He smiled very elegantly.

He also said: "But you still need to study for these." He watched "Frida", and it was regarded as a good work, but compared with the list of nominees for best picture and best director, it was still a bit short.

Claire nodded.

Without ability, everything is negotiable.Mediocrity will definitely be eliminated by the world.If there are no more good works, on this street, a brick can kill several Hollywood directors, and she will definitely be forgotten.

Dudley actually didn't soar into the sky in a few years and make everyone scream for him.He worked as a full-time director at the Royal Opera House for many years.This is the result of accumulation.

Spielberg nodded at her, "Any plans?"

She touched her head: "Not yet."
