Chapter 127: After party
Patiently waiting for Geena Davis to finish her speech, Eric went down the stage with her, and after giving her another hug, he returned to his seat .
In this three hours Eric like most of the audience had to laugh over and over again at the unfunny jokes the guest presenters told on stage .
"Home Alone" was only nominated for the best soundtrack award which can be ignored .
As a young man who broke into Hollywood for more than six months, he made great achievements, and more than once he suffered from all sorts of jokes aimed at him by the guest presenters . So the camera lens often sweeps over him or took close ups of him .
In this situation, Eric didn't have the chance to relax . But Eric did not feel bored . Instead, he relished the contrast between this version of the Oscar ceremony and the Oscar ceremonies ten years later .
An hour and a half into the show, Eric found that the biggest difference between the Oscar now and the Oscar in the future, is that most of the award-winning works such as "Rain Man", "Working Girl", "Beetlejuice" and so on are commercial films .
Unlike 10 years later, when most of the winners are politically correct films or extreme art films .
So after more than two hours, most of the major awards have been awarded, it was the technical awards turn . After the best cinematography award was presented, the best animated short film award come-up .
The ones who cared the most about those type of awards are the directors, producers, and the film crews, and there was a lot of them in this auditorium .
The guest presenter for the best animated short film award is Carrie Fisher who starred in "Star Wars", feeling the audience expectations, Carrie Fisher quickly give a brief introduction of the nominees, opened the envelope and read: "The winner of the best animated short film is "Tin Toy", by John Lasseter .
"
Hearing the applause, Virginia once again glanced at Eric . After receiving a look of encouragement, she got up and walked to the stage .
The name Carrie Fisher announced was obviously a male name, but the one walking to the stage is a beautiful woman wearing a blue strapless dress, most of the audience in front of their TV's were questioning who is this Goddess .
"Who is this?"
"What a beautiful girl!"
"It's strange to have a girl be named John!"
The organizer obviously know who she was, so after Virginia walked on stage, the camera directly zoomed to Eric's face, giving him a big close up . Eric secretly had the urge to flee, but could only sit tightly in his seat, with a blank look on his face .
As if he didn't know that the camera was focusing on him .
Trying to pretend he didn't know anything didn't have much effect on the audience in the auditorium, especially when Eric's face showed on the huge screen, some of the crowd surrounding Eric quickly give him some playful smiles .
When the best director award was about to start, Virginia came back carrying the gold statue, cheeks flushed, hips swaying, her whole body was exuded a mature charm, making all the men close to them envious of Eric, even some women couldn't take their eyes off of her .
Although this wasn't a good time to talk, Virginia still secretly stroked his leg under the table, trying to convey how grateful she was .
Unsurprisingly "Rain Man" won the best picture, the three-hour long ceremony was finally over .
But that didn't mean that after the Oscar ends, the stars will go back home, countless celebration parties happen every year after the Oscar ceremony, so most of the guests are able to find a party to go to .
Because "Home Alone" didn't win any award, Firefly didn't host any celebration party, so although the Runkle couple's who came as part of "Home Alone" crew wanted to go to some of those party's .
They couldn't, because the little guy was tired and drowsy, after sitting motionless in his seat for more than three hours, the couple had to swallow their disappointment and take the little guy back home to rest .
"So Eric, where are we going to go next?" Virginia asked .
Eric looked at Virginia who was still carefully holding the golden statues and said: "You chose, I received invitations to a few parties, the big ones are the party held by "Rain Man" crew, "Working Girl" crew, As well as Warner, and Disney .
Oh, and Amy Pascal also said that Columbiawould hold a party, so which one you wanna go to . "
"Uh, "Rain Man"?" Virginia said in a voice filled with uncertainty .
"Smart choice, "Rain Man" celebration party is held at the Sunset Tower Hotel in Beverly Hills, close to home . "
After making the decision, the two quickly found Kapoor Sid and drove to the Sunset Tower Hotel .
As the biggest winners this year, "Rain Man" crew celebration party is undoubtedly the grandest, at his arrival Tom Cruise, Dustin Hoffman and the director Barry Levinson personally come to welcome him .
As he was Greeting and chatting with some people in the crowd, Cruise came to his side and said to Virginia: "Miss Madsen, can I talk to Eric alone . "
After spending the entire night by his side, Virginia was tired, but she still stayed by his side because she didn't want another woman to take him from her . But now that Cruise personally asked, Virginia happily nodded .
"Eric, about "Running Out of Time", I have a new idea, you see, in the part where . . . .
. . maybe we can modify it to . .
. . . .
Do you think we can do that?" As soon as Virginia walked a little far away, Cruise Began telling Eric about his new ideas .
After listening to him for a few minutes, Eric could Sum up all of Tom Cruise ideas into one short sentence: add more drama!
