Chapter 221 I don't accept it

cheers!

Saving Private Ryan people sat around and toasted, Duke had just drank the champagne from the glass, and Robin Grande stood up again, For tonight's victory, I propose, again, cheers!

Agreed, cheers!

Tonight, most of the cast and crew who participated in the Oscars have gained something, and it is the center of this Vanity Fair. Now is the time of excitement. Ben Watts fills everyone with champagne next to each other. Everyone touches the glass and also Regardless of the spilled wine, it's another glass of bottom.

This is the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, and the crew is attending the Oscar night celebration party hosted by Vanity Fair.

Duke lost best director, Zach Snyder suggested. I'm going to have a drink with him to comfort him.

John Schwartzman also leaned in. Don't forget, there's me too! I want to thank him for helping me get the best photography!

Duke made a lot of suggestions during the set. Without him, I couldn't get the best art director. Hannah Serena didn't plan to let Duke go, I want to have a drink with him to thank him!

Don't forget me. Mike Dawson also refused to lag behind, I used to be just an ordinary editor in Hollywood. After meeting Duke, I won three nominations for best editing and one for best editing. , I must have a drink with him.

Sophia bumped Duke with the shoulder, then raised her glass, signaling she wouldn't let him go.

The noise in the banquet hall, the clinking of glasses, and the flirting sounds of men and women converged into a messy movement. Duke looked at these members of the production team and understood that these guys might have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Then I'll have a drink with you all.

Next to Catherine Zeta Jones had filled him with champagne, Duke stood up and raised his glass. It should be my toast to everyone, and I hope our cooperation will always be successful!

After speaking, he took the lead in pouring the champagne into his stomach, Cheers!

Cheers! The others drank the wine in their glasses.

No! Putting down the glass, Zach Snyder suddenly came back to his senses, We each want to have a drink with Duke!

Wait! Duke burped. I have already felt the urge to drink, You know that I am not good at drinking, and I will be drunk if I drink again.

Are you afraid that no one will take care of you when you're drunk? John Schwartzman nodded at Zeta Jones across the table. I don't think Kate will refuse to take care of you.

Honey. Zeta Jones said immediately with a smile, I'd love to do it.

Wow

There was a roar from the extremely excited group of guys.

Zeta Jones turned her head, and her red lips brushed faintly across Duke's cheeks. Leaving a hot and humid breath.

Okay, stop joking!

Seeing that these guys really have to take action, Sofia Coppola reminded, Don't you need to socialize? Now how do you go to pick up girls after drinking too much? Do you want to spend this carnival night alone.

One more drink!

Duke stood up and raised his glass first. He encouraged, Vanity Fair parties are the favorite places for beautiful models to hang out, don't say I didn't warn you!

Honor, money, wine and beauty are the eternal themes of Oscar night. After a drink, most people left the dining area. Find your purpose elsewhere.

The number of people at the table decreased rapidly, even Sofia Coppola went to other places, only the Robin Grande and his wife on the opposite side were whispering something.

You drank a lot.

Zeta Jones took the handbag and looked at Duke with concern. I'll prepare you to understand alcohol and medicine, do you need it?

Being not.

There was no dinner at all. Duke took the knife and fork, cut a steak and put it in his mouth. Zeta Jones had already brought him a glass of juice, and when Duke had eaten a quarter of the steak, he handed it over. .

After taking a sip of the juice, Duke could see that this is a woman with a heart, with a very smooth and sophisticated way of doing things. She is also the heroine of Chicago, and she is also rehearsing in a dance studio. Naomi ? Watts is the object of envy by many female backup dancers and role actors, but Zeta Jones has won the favor of many people. Even the singing and dancing director Lily Fred has mentioned her in front of him more than once, saying that she is a A very humble and hardworking actor.

Someone is here.

Hearing Zeta Jones' reminder, Duke turned his head slightly, and Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, came over.

Hi, Duke. Congratulations on winning the best picture. She glanced at Catherine Zeta Jones, who didn't know her, and immediately turned her eyes back to Duke. Can we chat for a while?

Of course. Duke gestured to the chair next to him. Please take a seat, Tina.

Sitting diagonally across from Duke, Tina Brown smiled politely, There are not many talented young directors like you. I heard that your new film is about to shoot? Are you interested in being interviewed by Vanity Fair?

No one would turn down Tina Brown's invitation, would they? Duke said politely, then added, I can't decide this sort of thing alone. Tina, you're still with my PR and agent. Get in touch.

No problem. Tina Brown stood up and left.

It was getting late. Looking at his watch, Duke was also about to leave, but before he could stand up, he saw Mel Gibson sitting alone at the Braveheart table dozens of feet away. Looking here, he seems to be hesitating.

What does he want to do?

Catherine Zeta Jones also noticed him, grabbed Duke's sleeve, and asked nervously, Do you want me to call security?

Shaking his head, Duke turned around and looked at Mel Gibson as well. He really wanted to see what the savage wanted to do.

Mel Gibson didn't drink a glass of wine tonight, and no one asked him to drink. When everyone saw him, it was like seeing a fly. In this circle of chasing winners, he has become a complete loser.

Looking at the opposite side, his mood is extremely complicated. The young director also lost the best director, but he is still sought after. No matter where he stands, he will definitely become the central point there. It seems that the whole world is revolving around him. .

Bowing his head, Mel Gibson avoided those two seemingly calm, but sharp eyes, and remembered the purpose of his participation in this party. Opportunity.

Go over to apologize, seek forgiveness from the other party, and then strive to make some articles in the media, and the current situation will be improved to a certain extent.

These are not difficult to say and do, why is he extremely resistant in his heart?

Mel Gibson looked at Duke again, he understood that even if he apologized sincerely, he actually hated it to the extreme.

But hatred didn't solve the problem, it didn't change his situation, so Mel Gibson stood up.

He was waiting, just like Duke was looking for opportunities, he was also choosing the right opportunity.

Finally, a dozen people walked to the Saving Private Ryan crew one after another. Tom Hanks and his wife sat at the table to chat with him. Mel Gibson took a heavy and slow first step.

This step was very difficult and painful, making him feel as if his face had been slapped hard.

However, the hardest step is often the first step. After this step is taken, it will be much easier later.

Mel Gibson took a deep breath and strode towards Duke regardless of the contemptuous eyes of those around him.

Mel Gibson is here.

Hearing someone reminded, Duke ended the conversation with Hanks, turned his head, and watched the tall figure of the other party come step by step.

Don't be impulsive, Duke. Sophia, who returned to the table, quickly reminded in a low voice, You have to stay calm, he is finished.

Duke nodded, of course he wasn't stupid enough to take the initiative to do something.

The Saving Private Ryan table was originally located in a very prominent position in the banquet hall. Mel Gibson's actions immediately attracted countless attention, and there were countless people waiting to watch the show.

Mel Gibson didn't care about those glances, and Duke didn't care either.

Five feet away from Duke, Mel Gibson stopped, looked at Duke, nearly turned into a rage, took a deep breath, and suppressed it.

A few people nearby looked at Duke, Ben Watts and Zach Snyder were both unknowingly walking to either side of Mel Gibson, as if they were guarding against possible reckless moves by the Aussie savages.

Mel Gibson's temperament is known throughout Hollywood, and no one thinks he has good intentions.

Duke looked at Gibson and asked directly, Is something wrong, Mr. Gibson?

I... Mel Gibson seemed to be trying to suckle, I'm here to apologize.

Apologize?

Including Duke, everyone around who heard this couldn't help being stunned. Will Mel Gibson take the initiative to apologize?

I did something stupid last time at the Golden Globes party. Mel Gibson's voice was so loud that it seemed to be heard by everyone in the banquet hall, I feel very guilty about this, and I came here to apologize to you.

After this loud voice, many people's eyes fell on Duke. Mel Gibson's apology seemed sincere. What would he do?

Very smart approach, isn't it? Duke smiled to himself, is Mel Gibson sincerely apologizing? He didn't know, and didn't want to know, that the other party was a veteran actor, and his acting skills were definitely above the standard line when he was not drunk.

Mel Gibson looked here sincerely, as if he wanted to impress Duke. As long as the person concerned would forgive him, there would always be many articles to do in the future.

After just a second of silence, Duke gave the answer, I'm so sorry, Mr. Gibson, I don't accept your apology! (To be continued ^)
