Chapter 39
So what about Thursday? asked Leonardo, standing beside Alex with his hands in the back pockets of his trousers.
"Thursday is fine—" Alex had just finished speaking, and the audience who was closer to them and paid close attention to them suddenly asked, "I heard you! Alex! You promised Leo Around Thursday!"
Alex laughed. At this time, Leonardo, who was still a little distance away from Alex, simply leaned over. He stretched out his arms and put them on Alex's shoulders, even touching his face. They were all close together, and he raised his eyebrows at the audience looking at them with excited eyes: "Yes, we do have a date on Thursday..."
The audience immediately screamed, and many people took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures. Alex also cooperated with Leonardo and showed a bright smile to the audience's camera. bigger.
After "The Departed" was released, in addition to the high evaluation of the film quality by the media and film critics, as well as the praise for the wonderful performance of the two young actors even in front of Nicholson, a veteran actor, this film The movie that became the center of the storm naturally extended to many other hot topics.
Just like last week, someone reposted a video on Facebook. Someone used the trailer of "The Departed" and re-edited it with sensational music, which made "The Departed", a wonderful and serious police film. , into a lingering love story of Colin and Billy falling in love and killing each other.And this well-edited video got a huge amount of clicks on the Internet, and some entertainment news also reported on it. Similarly, when Alex and Leonardo participated in the talk show for promotion, the hosts People will also take out this video to make fun of the two.
They're at the taping of The Tonight Show right now, and it's a little while before the official start, and right now the crew is laying out the sets, so Alex and Leonardo are standing in the audience, doing a little fan service , and just two people standing and chatting.
In fact, both Alex and Leonardo are quite surprised by the crazy praise of the film critics of "The Departed". This does not mean that the two have no confidence in their interpretation, but that Leonardo has had enough of critics' vitriol over the years, and Alex's criticism after filming "Twilight" seems to be vivid, so the unanimous praise of the film critics really flattered them this time.
However, these good reviews will indeed make the two people's next Oscar public relations battle even more powerful. Leonardo has never concealed his ambition for Oscar, and everyone knows that if you want to win an Oscar, the person you should go to is Weinstein Brother, after all, during the more than 20 years since the Weinstein brothers entered the public eye, they have received more than 300 nominations and embraced the statuette more than 60 times. Although many Hollywood people disdain and ridicule Weinstein for winning the Oscar, I think he is eager for success and is a dictator, but I have to say that as long as their public relations methods are still effective, as long as they rely on lobbying to get more votes from the judges, there will be people who will keep throwing themselves into their arms.
The lobbying company Leonardo is looking for this time is owned by the Weinstein Brothers, and Owen also contacted Weinstein for Alex, but Leo wants to make an appointment with Alex this time, just to be together Meeting with Weinstein, Alex decided to nominate the supporting actor for public relations this time. Although his proportion of shots in "The Departed" is indeed less than that of Leonardo and Nicholson, but judging from the whole story , Colin is indeed the leading actor.
But Alex never thought that he could win Best Actor in one fell swoop this time with "The Departed", so he just planned to mix up nominations and win a few Screen Actors Guild Awards as an Oscar prelude during the awards season in December. The New York Film Critics Awards and the like, and then pick up a good script next year, or wait for a few more years, only then will he be able to get the votes of those people in the academy.
And after learning of Alex's decision, Leonardo was indeed faintly relieved at the time. He was very aware of the ala standing behind Alex who was fully tilting resources towards him. CEO, if Alex also submits the nomination of the actor, then their public relations battle and the competition for votes will undoubtedly become more intense, and by then, Leonardo does not know whether he will still be like He chatted easily with Alex without any grievances. He valued his friendship with Alex, but no matter who came to the stage to accept the award, the people sitting in the audience would not feel good.
Then again, after all, they are standing in the studio at this moment. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two of them can't talk too much. They mainly chat about irrelevant things. Until the staff arranges the scene, Alec Sitting across from Reynolds, Reynolds and Leonardo, after Reynolds' customary opening with his sleazy guest-centered gags, actually had very little to say about the film, not least because of The Departed There is no need to promote the word-of-mouth, and because as an Olympic film, it is too high-profile and may arouse the academy's disgust.
Also, apart from movies, Raynor obviously has more other topics he wants to talk about. Raynor first took out a picture of Colin and Billy hugging together from under his desk. photos, and in a teasing tone, asked the two people about their evaluation of this, and further asked the two people how they felt when they were filming. Reynolds also imitated the clips of the two in the movie, and played the roles of the two. The two actors performed a dog-blood drama, which made the people present laugh constantly.
And after these jokes passed, Leonardo also seriously talked about his feelings about the play with Alex this time: "He is really a great actor, and sometimes Alex even brings Gives me a sense of crisis, like we made a bet during the screening to see who the audience voted their favorite actor to get the most votes, unfortunately, I lost one vote to Alex, but I Guess it must have been Captain America's vote—”
All the people present laughed. This joke had to be related to a video taken by the paparazzi not long ago. They caught Captain America Steve walking out of the theater and learned that the screening just now was "The Departed Walker" , so while the paparazzi were routinely following Captain America, they also asked him how he felt about the movie. Captain America, who has always been silent in front of the camera, actually spoke to the paparazzi this time, perhaps because the movie He was touched too much, or someone's performance moved him very much, so he replied: "This is a very good movie." When the paparazzi continued to ask, Steve suddenly showed a Laughed, and then unexpectedly cooperated, "Yes, that's right, the actor I admire most is Alex Pollin—"
At that time, Captain America’s response caused a lot of repercussions, and since Alex entered the public eye, his name has often been put together with the names of Captain America and the rest of the Avengers, making headlines. At the beginning, people only thought it was Alex's unilateral and shameless hype, but now, most of them only think that the name Alex is worthy of these superheroes. For today's step, Alex must have put in a lot of effort.
Alex drank a lot of wine tonight, it's almost November, if you want to get more awards in December, so that Alex can be nominated for an Oscar, these days Alex Max often followed Owen to communicate with the judges. Of course, under the premise that the experienced paparazzi were closely watching, they couldn't do it too obviously. They usually came in the name of inviting dinner parties. Hold it, like tonight.
"Hi, captain——" Alex opened the car door, and greeted Steve with a smile on his hands, while Owen behind him was trying to squeeze Alex into the car, his movements seemed Kind of rude.
Steve frowned indistinctly, then he signaled Owen to get out of the way, helped Alex sit in a comfortable position for the co-pilot, and pretended to buckle up the seat belt for Alex.
This is still in the courtyard of the owner's house, so there is no need to worry about the flashing lights of the paparazzi. Owen, who also drank a lot, wiped the sweat from his head: "I am really troublesome to you tonight, captain, we all drank a lot... ..."
"It's nothing--" Steve smiled, and then Owen wanted to come over and tell Alex something, but seeing that the person sitting in the passenger seat would only look like a good-looking smirk, Owen gave up. He said good-bye to Steve and saw him start the car.
"Are you okay?" Steve glanced at Alex in the rearview mirror while turning the steering wheel. Obviously, seeing Alex's blushing face, he knew that he was very drunk at the moment. It's not that Tiff has never seen Alex drunk. Even if the latter drinks too much, he won't be too noisy. Most of the time, he is conscious, just—
Alex nodded obediently: "I'm fine, captain."
It's just that she is so well-behaved that people want to bully her.
After driving through a baptism of paparazzi flashing lights that surrounded Alex's apartment downstairs, Steve took Alex back to his residence, but before he turned on the light, he was without his arm. Alex immediately wobbled and couldn't stand up.
Steve was taking off his shoes, and the weight of a person was suddenly pressed behind him. Even Captain America couldn't stand still for a while. He was crushed by Alex and fell to the ground. The carpet was still soft, and he raised his head with some difficulty to look at the person on top of him.
"Alex--"
"I'm--" Alex pressed himself against Steve, his cheeks were burning hot, and Steve's low body temperature made him feel so comfortable, he couldn't help rubbing there Rubbing, even afraid that Captain America's humanoid pillow would run away, so he quickly put his arms around his waist.
Steve first felt a head rubbing against his chest, a little itchy, and something else, and he couldn't help laughing, and then he felt the hand on his waist tightly hugging him: "Shall we get up first, Alex—"
"Okay—" the drunk Alex responded obediently, but he said so, but his body still pressed Captain America honestly.
But Steve knew that it was okay for him to lie down all the time, but I'm afraid Alex would feel extra uncomfortable tomorrow, and Steve still remembered that Alex had to attend an event tomorrow.So he can't let Alex do this, think about it, even if a parent spoils his child, he will never compromise easily on his child's physical issues.
So the next picture evolved into that Alex desperately hugged Steve's waist with his hands, and Captain America desperately pulled him off his body: "You have to take a shower, I will help you You prepare the hangover medicine, and then you go to rest, but it shouldn't be on the floor of your living room-"
"But I just want to hug you and sleep for a while..." Why do you have to reason with a drunk, Captain?
"Be obedient." Steve's voice paused, and then he became stern, like he was in the military, "I'll give you three seconds, Alex—"
