Chapter 48

The two entered the venue.

Seeing the impatient expression on Kevin's face, the contented Hayek put his mouth to Kevin's side and whispered:

"Tonight, I'm yours, I promise you whatever pose you want!"

Kevin's spirit was shocked, and he showed a wicked smile at Hayek, and then he entered the venue and found his seat.

....

"Director Kevin, Escape from the Dead Town you directed is simply the best art film I've ever seen, and I hope you can make more and better films that pay attention to the situation of black people in American society. "

"Me and my friends will support you!"

Kevin sat in a chair and chatted with Hayek boredly. A black old man with gray beard and age spots came over and said kindly.

Kevin responded quickly:

"Of course, the unfair treatment of black people in the United States must be faced up and changed by people!"

The black man smiled and nodded, walked to his chair and sat down.

The decision to come over and say something like that to Kevin is not an ordinary person.

Kevin is also very familiar with his appearance. He is the most famous black actor in Hollywood.

Morgan Freeman.

If the name wasn't familiar enough, it's even more familiar when it comes to his work.

He can be seen in classic works such as The Shawshank Redemption, Black Prison, Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, etc.

Of course, to Kevin, none of that really matters.

The important thing is that he is courting him.

Kevin was dealing with him on the surface, but he was somewhat contemptuous of him in his heart.

This old and respected actor in Hollywood may not have thought that his scandal would be exposed more than ten years later.

As a result, he was in disrepute and had to keep a low profile in Hollywood.

But at least before it was exposed, Morgan Freeman's status in Hollywood should not be underestimated. Although Kevin is not afraid of him, there is no need to offend him.

After Morgan Freeman left, many people chatted briefly with Kevin, and then left.

The time came to 5:30, and the Oscars officially started.

Black actress Whoopi Goldberg served as the host to start the announcement of the awards.

Kevin smiled, but he thought silently in his heart that when he went back at night, what tricks should he play with Hayek? As for the Oscars, there was a conclusion long ago, and he didn't care at all.

And just like that, the award soon came to the Best Screenplay Award.

Whoopi Goldberg looked at the list in his hand and shouted passionately:

"Best Original Screenplay Award, Escape from Deadly Town!"

Everyone in the audience immediately applauded. The major shareholder of MGM, coupled with the identity of a continuously successful director, gave Steve Kevin an unusual position in Hollywood.

Again, you don't have to like it, but there's no need to lose face and offend an enemy at this time.

With a smile on his face, Kevin walked up to the Oscars podium and took over the trophy.

Then he picked up the microphone handed over by Whoopi Goldberg and said:

"Thanks to the Oscars, for the recognition of Escape from Breakthrough, I feel honored to be here."

"..."

After some clichés, Kevin stepped down directly.

Kevin didn't care about the boring awarding process of Oscar next, and the time soon came to the party held by Oscar.

As a major shareholder and a famous director of MGM, Kevin met many people who took the initiative to talk to them, seeking investment, wanting to get roles in his films, and wanting to invest in his films.

After some basic networking, Kevin quietly left the reception.

By the way, at this reception, he has harvested a lot of business cards of female stars.

Many hinted that he would come to find himself at night.

But so far, I haven't met Kevin's heart.

It has to be said that once European and American women are over 30 years old, the speed of their decline in appearance is very alarming. On the contrary, European and American men are more handsome when they are older.

These thirty-something actresses looking for Kevin made him completely uninterested.

For him, the biggest significance of this trip to the Oscars is to give him a layer of gold plating. After today, he can claim to have directed a famous director of Oscar-winning movies.

The actual meaning is that his name is out of the circle for the first time.

Not only the United States, but all English-speaking countries know that there is a director like Kevin who won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

From the moment he won the Oscar, Kevin's fame spread to the world along with the Oscar's prestige

However, in the United States, Kevin's status in the circle has not actually changed except for the reputation that more people know.

Chapter 78 Kevin's Place in Hollywood

The major shareholder of MGM has a much higher status than the average director.

..

"Is that Hayek and Steve Kevin?"

Outside the Oscar dinner, a few tabloid paparazzi were staring at all the stars who came and went.

A young man who looked very young, with sharp eyes, saw Kevin and Hayek get into the same car, and immediately excitedly asked the experienced old paparazzi beside him:

"Isn't the industry saying that Steve Kevin has an affair with the heroine in his movie?"

"If we photographed the evidence, wouldn't we make a fortune?"

The young paparazzi said excitedly.

The old paparazzi shook his head and said with a picture of the experience of someone who has come here:

"If he's just a director and we get evidence, even if it's Spielberg, we'll report it if we want."

"But Steve Kevin, he's not just a director, he's a major shareholder in a studio at the top of the Hollywood food chain."

"Trust me, even if you photograph these things, no one will report them."

The young paparazzi looked dissatisfied and puffed up:

"I don't believe it. With such a big director, no one will report his lace news?"

"I think this must be worth a lot of money!"

After all, the young paparazzi drove the second-hand car he bought for $2,000, followed closely behind, trying to photograph the real hammer of the relationship between Kevin and Hayek.

...

On top of Kevin's luxury car.

There was some blush on Hayek's face, with a hint of shyness, and said:

"Kevin, go to my house, I don't want to play those poses with you in the villa."

"That's fine, but if it's at night, it will be hard work, Brother Chen!"

Hayek said so, naturally Kevin could not refuse her request, but for the sake of safety, Kevin could only ask Chen Zhiwen to help guard outside the house.

Of course, the generous Kevin, at this time, should give some extra dollars.

Chen Zhiwen nodded and remained silent.

When he came across a good boss like Kevin, he would give out bonuses at every turn. All he could do was to protect Kevin's safety with all his heart, and at the same time, when he shouldn't speak, don't say a word.

Keeping his duty, this is the best return he can give to Kevin.

The car drove for an hour and returned to Beverly Hills.

After watching Kevin enter Hayek's house, Chen Zhiwen carefully looked around to prevent anyone from harming Kevin.

Hundreds of meters away from the house, the young paparazzi looked at the bodyguard in the car with binoculars, and couldn't help but have a headache.

Just followed closely behind Kevin's car and took some photos, but I didn't take any particularly important photos.

Nothing but two very intimate photos of Hayek and Kevin in the car.

Originally, I wanted to take a clear photo of them entering a room together, but since the bodyguard is at the door, I guess it won't work.

But with a distant photo of them entering the house, and two intimate photos of them in the car, that's enough.

-------------------------------------

Naturally, Kevin didn't know that he was being targeted by the paparazzi. As a behind-the-scenes person, most people are not very interested in the director's lace news.

Paparazzi tend to rarely target them, so Kevin didn't take much precaution.

Coupled with his current status, in fact, ordinary newspapers would not attack him.

These are all unspoken rules in Hollywood. If you shoot at him and break such unspoken rules, you will naturally be attacked by the upper-level forces in Hollywood.

Few newspapers are willing to bear such consequences, and this is just one of Kevin's official privileges to squeeze into the upper echelons of Hollywood.

"Hayak, shall we take a bath first?"

Entering the house, Kevin immediately came behind Hayek, helping her to remove the burden on her body while swimming on her body.

"Kevin~~~"

Hayek shouted Kevin's name emotionally, took his hand and walked to the bathroom together...

...

"Skoll, these photos of yours, our newspaper will not and dare not go out."

In a small office, there are newspapers all over the table, just like a newspaper office, but judging from the messy situation, the scale of this newspaper office is not large.

The boss sitting in the editor-in-chief shook his head at Skoll.

At the same time, he said again in a serious tone:

"In Hollywood, any news from the upper echelons should not be reported by us, otherwise, the power of backlash will directly destroy your career and my newspaper."

"We can report news about any star, and no one will care about us, because stars are always just the hottest commodities in Hollywood, and the manufacturers and sales of commodities are the upper echelons of Hollywood."

Skoll listened to the boss's words in amazement, and only then did he understand what Hollywood was.

Hollywood is the Hollywood of film companies and capital. They have never been the Hollywood of stars. As members of the Hollywood industry, their lowest-end professions naturally cannot afford the power that holds the top power in Hollywood.

Skoll couldn't help but continue to ask:

"So, Steve Kevin, how is it in the upper echelons?"

The chubby boss showed a wise smile on his face, and said slowly:

"You can think of him as a gold medal salesman. Before his performance, which is the box office failure, his status in Hollywood was unshakable, and he was also very smart."

"Not satisfied with the status of gold sales, I chose to use the money I earned and the status of gold sales to buy shares and become a major shareholder."

"Then now, in Hollywood, he is a big man we can't afford to offend."

"Do you understand it?"

The young paparazzi nodded, and firmly engraved the idea of ​​Steve Kevin as a big man in Hollywood in his heart.

Chapter 79 Filming Completion and Post-production

...

Originally, I expected not to find a woman and have a good rest at home for a day, but unfortunately Hayek was not allowed.

Facing Kevin's various seductions, Kevin was another person who couldn't control his belt. He couldn't stand the temptation and fought Hayek for another day.

It wasn't until the end that Kevin felt slightly unwell, so he escaped from Hayek's house and returned to the villa to rest on the grounds of something.

Half a day of high-quality sleep has restored Kevin's spirits, but of course it takes time in some aspects.

Here, Kevin just wants to advise young people to understand moderation, not to be completely hollowed out like him.
