King of Hollywood

On March 30th, outside the Los Angeles Music Center, there was a sea of ​​people. The long red carpet had already been laid out, and huge decorative statuettes were also erected. Reporters from various media in various regions were also waiting here early. Lisan Surrounded by three layers of outer layers, they hoped to take pictures with high news value, so there were constant disputes among them.

"Hey boy, this is my place! You should go over there!"

"I'm sorry, there is no sign saying that this is your location. So, you should be the one going there!"

"Are you new here? Do you know where this is? Do you know the rules here?!"

"I don't care about the rules or not, all I know is that this is the Oscar scene, and I'm here to grab the news."

There are a lot of quarrels like this in order to grab a good position. Don't worry about them fighting, this is the Oscar scene. Even if they really lost their minds, the people next to them would dissuade them immediately.

In addition to these people, there are many movie fans in the more peripheral places. They are holding up their cameras and waving all kinds of logos and signs supporting their favorite movie stars, hoping to take a photo or even say a word. ——Of course, the latter is almost impossible, and they are far away from the red carpet. But these movie fans are still happy and infatuated, and it is because of them that the crowd-filled scene is very spectacular, and the reputation of the Oscar event is not in vain.

The car shook slightly and stopped at the entrance. Dennis, who was in deep thought, suddenly came back to his senses, straightened his clothes, and got off after the waiter opened the car door and stepped on the red carpet of Oscar.

The clicking flashes started ringing non-stop from the moment the car door was opened. Although Dennis was used to being photographed by reporters, it was the first time he encountered such dense flashes.

A feeling of trance suddenly emerged from my heart. Is this the Oscar scene? This is the much-anticipated Oscar scene? Dennis took a deep breath. Who knows, two years ago he was an unknown waiter in a cafe, two years later he has become a well-known actor in Hollywood, and has already stepped on the red carpet of the Oscars - even though he has no nominations.

All of this is like a dream. Dennis still remembers the scene when he came to Hollywood with great enthusiasm, with dreams in mind and full of expectations for everything, as if as long as he came to this place, he would immediately become a big star. But the reality poured a scoop of cold water on his head. He had no connection, no relationship, and he didn't come from a regular academy. He didn't know what else to do but to get a small salary to live on, to keep himself going.

Although four years may not be long or short, Dennis has tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships. In fact, the opportunity is not without chance. When participating in a supporting role audition for a medium-scale film, a male director assistant once hinted to him in private: "There is a party in the crew tonight, maybe you want to come and attend."

Dennis, who already knew about this place, naturally didn't know what it meant. For a few seconds, he really wanted to grit his teeth and agree, isn't it just a party? no big deal. But after hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to refuse, and then he was reduced to working in a cafe to survive. If there is no miracle, he may spend his life quietly like this, and no one will remember him, just like rolling away. The small stones falling into the pond can't even splash a few times.

However, God didn't seem to give up on Dennis. That day, he asked Adrian who was drawing the sub-camera by accident, and then agreed to his invitation by accident, and then his fate changed drastically! He has become famous, he has received a salary that he could not have imagined before, he has his own villa and an agent who can help him, he can boldly pursue the girl he has always wanted to pursue, and now, he On to the Oscars red carpet!

To this day, when Dennis wakes up in the morning, he still occasionally feels in a trance, as if afraid of suddenly waking up from a dream. Fortunately, this kind of thing never happened, and he is still the rookie actor who has attracted much attention.

Dennis knows why he can have everything he has now, although he doesn't understand why Adrian chose him in the first place, and why he vigorously cultivated him-Adrian is definitely not gay, Dennis knows this very well-but this does not hinder him Grab this opportunity to make it all your own.

It's just that what worries Dennis is that if he wants to maintain this for a long time, then both parties must maintain a basic equality between what they pay and what they get. He obviously can't give Adrian more things now. Fortunately, there is one thing that Adrian Ken definitely needs, and Dennis can also pay for it, and that is-loyalty!

"Hey, Dan!" A voice came to his ears suddenly, and Dennis, who came back to his senses, looked over, and there was a guy with glasses among the reporters outside the fence waving at him.

"How are you, Randy?" Dennis smiled, waved and walked over.

He knew that person, a reporter from a medium-sized newspaper had interviewed him, and they had a good relationship with each other.

"How does it feel to walk the red carpet for the first time?" Randy saw him coming in front of him, and immediately handed the small recording equipment in front of Dennis, anyway, he was a reporter first.

"You said it's the first time, how do you think I will feel?" Dennis shrugged, this action added a bit of fun to him, and immediately caused laughter from the surrounding reporters.

"Okay, okay, so do you think "The Shawshank Redemption" will win the best picture?" Randy asked.

"If you want to hear from me the analysis of the pros and cons of the best-nominated film, or the praise of other films, you are very wrong," Dennis shook his head, "I believe that " The Shawshank Redemption won Best Picture, I love this movie, I love the belief in the hope and perseverance in the pursuit of freedom, isn't that what our country insists on?"

"It seems that you are very confident, so do you think Adrian will win the best director?" A reporter next to Randy suddenly interjected and asked.

Dennis glanced at him, and still answered: "From my personal point of view, I hope Ed can get it. Anyway, he has done a lot of surprising things. Maybe the judges will consider letting him surprise everyone again." once."

He always has a smile on his face, is calm and confident, and answers well. This is what Adrian taught him, and he has been imitating it, and the effect seems to be good.

"Then how many awards do you think "The Shawshank Redemption" can win?" Randy then asked again.

"Still from my personal point of view, I think..."
