Chapter 438 The Center of the World
Chapter 438 The Center of the World
As a newly crowned Oscar winner, even though Su Lingxi's schedule for the whole year was already full, it did not stop other people from extending various olive branches to her - she didn't even know most of them, nor had she heard of the scripts and projects they talked about, but each of them acted so warm and kind, as if she was the center of the world and deserved to be treated like a star.
After seeing off the great director Martin Kubrick, Su Lingxi's social activities continued.
"Nicole, you look stunning tonight. I want to introduce you to my friend Christian Nolan - you know he's a big fan of yours."
"Hi, dear, I wonder if I have the honor to talk to our best actress about the new movie? I think you may have heard of Balzac's novel "Mademoiselle Grandet"? Nicole, I really think you are very suitable for the role of the heroine..."
"Hi Nicole, nice to meet you, Freedom Road is definitely the best movie I have seen in two years!"
"Nicole, long time no see..."
After leaving the Vanity Fair party, Su Lingxi and Joey had to drive to the party in Columbia again.
The party was both a celebration of the success of Angelica and a way for Columbia to show her its affection.
In recent years, although Columbia's business conditions have improved compared to previous years, it has not actually made much money - at least the net profit income is not proportional to its world-renowned reputation.
In this situation, movie actors like Su Lingxi, who have low pay but can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, have become a hot commodity in Columbia's eyes.
Or in other words, a walking Franklin.
Of course, compared to the group of senior leaders at Columbia who were as happy to see her as a bear finding honey, Su Lingxi would rather attend the celebration party specially organized by TSG for the entire crew of "Freedom Road" - at least most of the people there are friends she really wants to celebrate the victory with.
However, considering the relationship with Kevin Cowan and his long-term help to Sunrise, Su Lingxi stayed at the party in Columbia for a full hour before finding a way to get away.
"Hi, Nicole."
As soon as she entered the party, Su Lingxi ran into Sigourney Garner who was wearing sunglasses. Her signature hearty smile quickly made her mood much better.
"Luckily you're here." Su Lingxi walked over quickly and gave her a tight hug. "I thought you were going to avoid me throughout the awards season."
Even though she knew that putting the two of them in different frames would not give tabloid reporters the opportunity to write nonsense, she still couldn't help but feel sorry.
If it wasn't for her chance to get an Oscar nomination, Sigourney might not have given up on awards season public relations so simply, and would not have rejected invitations to other award ceremonies in order to avoid being in the same frame.
Sigourney pushed up her sunglasses on her nose and said, "Baby, I haven't seen you for a while. Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic?"
"Yes, don't you know? There is a saying in China, 'One day without seeing you feels like three years.'" Su Lingxi was amused by her and started to laugh, and cooperated half-seriously.
Even though she couldn't see clearly, Su Lingxi could guess that the pair of gentle and kind eyes behind the sunglasses must be flashing with a happy smile at this moment.
"Well done, honey." At this moment, Carly Scott, dressed in a small suit, appeared out of nowhere, holding a huge firework tube in her hand.
Before Su Lingxi could react, the fireworks tube went off and colored paper rain mixed with gold powder and flower petals began to fall from the sky.
Looking at Nicole smiling at the other two people, Joey felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Nicole has never smiled so brightly at him before...
When people have free time, they like to think about random things.
Just like Joey at this moment - he finally had the nerve to come to the third celebration party, but was still left aside by the protagonist. He could only watch the ladies enjoy their own celebration time.
The more he watched, the more he couldn't help but think of the rumors that had spread in Hollywood a few months ago: After the success of "Freedom Road", Nicole not only became the dream lover of many teenagers, but was also very popular among girls. Once when she attended an event, she met several girls who "accidentally" fell into her arms...
It’s just that the rumor was so unusual that Joey is still impressed by it to this day.
He couldn't help but think further: Nicole has always looked down on any suitor, including him. Could it be that she only likes...
And I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or intentional, but all the staff around Nicole are women - agents, public relations, stylists, even assistants and drivers are young women.
Could it be that Nicole really...
Thinking of this possibility, Joey's face suddenly turned as cold as a heavy ice cube, and the look he gave Sigourney was filled with hostility.
As for Sigourney herself, she was excitedly telling her friends about her ups and downs in skiing, and had no time to pay attention to the burning gazes behind her.
"Honestly, Nicole, it feels so great to ski alone! Especially on sunny days, you can see the golden peaks of snow-capped mountains in the distance and the endless pine forests... It must be hard for you to imagine how fascinating this kind of life without the Internet and mobile phones is!"
Su Lingxi opened another bottle of champagne and poured wine for the two of them while listening to Sigourney's excited mumbling. It was rare that he felt a little yearning for the life she described.
The glamour, wealth and power of Hollywood do have an extraordinary appeal to her.
But people will get tired if they stay in the same environment for a long time.
There are so many awful assholes here, objectifying women is barely even the tip of the iceberg.
In order to ensure that she could always stick to her bottom line and avoid being bullied because of her race, she had to work harder than others.
If possible, Su Lingxi also wanted to give herself a long vacation, ride on the deserted snow-capped mountains on a snowboard, turn off her mobile phone and computer, and briefly experience a reclusive life like Sigourney.
Unfortunately her schedule didn't allow it.
Winning an Oscar doesn't mean her progress will stop there.
Over the years, Hollywood has produced nearly a hundred Oscar-winning actresses, but among them, how many can leave their names in film history? And who has gained the tremendous power to truly influence film and television projects?
So, Oscar is far from the end.
