With the announcement of the last award - Best Picture, this year's Oscars ceremony has officially come to an end.
The live television broadcast was interrupted after the winner of this award gave his acceptance speech. But this does not mean that all activities at this Oscar have stopped.
Because there is another highlight next, and that is the Oscar dinner. This is of course not an ordinary meal, but a platform for business transactions. Hundreds of film projects are finalized at this dinner every year, so for most people
For example, the annual Oscars ceremony is not the highlight, but this dinner is what they care about and care about the most.
This dinner can be said to be full of all kinds of excitement, and many people who participate can "make their dreams come true." However, not everyone who can attend the award ceremony can attend this dinner.
Because the number of people invited to the dinner is 1,500, the number of people invited has basically remained unchanged over the years. There were more than 4,000 people in the Dolby Theater.
Therefore, almost two-thirds of the people at the Oscars ceremony were unable to attend this dinner. Chen Feng and Miranda were lucky enough to have the qualifications to attend the dinner.
The venue for the dinner was right near the Dolby Theater, and it didn’t take long to walk there. Most of the people who were lucky enough to attend the dinner walked there. There were some fast food provided by the organizer on the roadside, including pizza, burgers, and sweets.
Donuts and spring rolls.
After all, many people came here at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and it has been almost ten o'clock in the evening. They haven't eaten for five or six hours, so they must be very hungry.
Chen Feng was no exception. He was very hungry after coming out of the Dolby Theater. So he took several spring rolls from the trays carried by the volunteer waiters on the roadside. The taste was still very good.
They walked to the Dolby Banquet Hall next to them and showed their invitations at the gate. After checking their identities, Chen Feng and Miranda walked in easily.
The banquet hall is beautifully decorated. Each Oscar dinner has a theme, and the decoration style of the venue will of course change accordingly.
This year's theme is romantic Mediterranean style. The venue is decorated like an open-air villa on the Mediterranean seaside. It really looks very romantic under the background of various colors of lights.
The cost of such a banquet every year is about 30 million US dollars, which can only be described as expensive. However, you cannot say that such a large-scale banquet is too extravagant and wasteful.
Not to mention anything else, there were 1,500 guests attending the dinner, and these guests are the elite among the elite in Hollywood. On average, each person only costs about 20,000 US dollars. This also includes tips, security, venue, etc.
It's really not expensive in the United States.
Although the Parker team that hosted such a dinner would definitely make a lot of money, after all, they had to plan and prepare five months in advance every year. The team required two to three hundred chefs alone, and seven waiters.
For 800 people, 30,000 rare meals must be prepared, and the ingredients used are all the best in the world, including Parmesan cheese, Burgundy winter black truffle, Miyazaki Wagyu beef, caviar, etc.
Of course Chen Feng didn't understand this at first, but Miranda helped him popularize it. Chen Feng couldn't help but secretly smacked his lips when he heard it. This is indeed too outrageous.
Being able to attend the Oscars ceremony is an honor for many people, but being able to attend such an Oscar dinner worth 30 million US dollars is really a big deal. Among other things, you can take a bite of caviar and black truffles
Such treasures may cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. It's like eating gold.
Even though Chen Feng is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars, it is certainly quite pleasant to be able to come to such a banquet and eat and drink for free. He feels like he is taking advantage for nothing.
He was not polite. After walking into the banquet hall, a waiter happened to come over with a tray. He reached out and asked for a glass of champagne for himself and Miranda. This was Snow White Champagne. Such a glass cost at least several hundred dollars. Chen
Feng took a sip and found that it tasted mellow and sweet, very delicious.
Unlike Chen Feng's relaxed and natural look, Miranda's expression was a bit reserved. She held the glass of champagne but did not drink it at first. It was not until Chen Feng reminded her that she took a sip.
After Miranda drank a glass of wine and looked around, she finally relaxed and complained: "Why isn't Emily here yet?"
After the award ceremony ended, Emily immediately went to the toilet. You can imagine the grand scene in the toilet after the theater with more than 4,000 people ended.
Therefore, it was impossible for Emily to rush over so quickly. However, it had been more than three hours since Miranda entered the Dolby Theater and she had not gone to the bathroom, which surprised Chen Feng. After arriving here, Chen Feng
Feng was really worried that something would happen to her, so he said specifically: "She shouldn't be so fast. The bathroom over there must be crowded with people at this time. There must be a lot less people here. How about I take you to the bathroom."
Miranda looked at Chen Feng with some confusion: "Why did you take me to the bathroom?"
Chen Feng said speechlessly: "I have been in the Dolby Theater for more than three hours. Don't you want to pee?"
Miranda's face turned red when she heard this and explained: "I haven't drank water or drinks since noon. Of course there is no need to go to the bathroom."
Despite this, Chen Feng insisted: "Just go with me."
Miranda smiled and did not refuse.
The two asked the waiter and went to the restroom together. As it turned out, there was also a queue here. Chen Feng was speechless. However, if he thought about it carefully, everyone was smart and knew that the restroom at the Dolby Theater would be overcrowded after the show.
.It would be better to come to the Dolby Ballroom where there will be far fewer people.
"Hey, man. We bumped into each other again."
When Chen Feng and Miranda were about to line up, Martian Brother wearing a baseball cap appeared in front of him again, grinning at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng was very calm this time. Because when he just came here, he was vaguely wondering whether he would meet this person again. Then, he did.
"Yeah, man. We've had this happen twice today."
This time Chen Feng took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with me, a more black way of greeting me. But in fact, Brother Martian is not a black person. Of course, many people subconsciously regard him as a black person because of his skin color. Especially because of his skin color.
The songs he sings are also very black.
Brother Martian laughed, then looked at Miranda next to Chen Feng, and asked with a smile: "Is this your girlfriend?"
"Yes, Miranda. This is Brother Martian." Chen Feng introduced the two of them.
"Hello." Miranda smiled and nodded to him. Perhaps because he had just come out of the bathroom, she had no intention of shaking hands with him.
Brother Martian obviously had no intention of shaking hands with her. He just smiled and nodded at her, then turned to Chen Feng and said: "We will meet in the banquet hall later. We must have a good chat. I will introduce a few friends to you.
."
"Okay. No problem. See you later."
The door to the toilet is not a suitable place for chatting either. Brother Martian and Chen Feng said a few words in a hurry and then separated.
The man was much faster, so Chen Feng went in first. He came out less than two minutes later, and Miranda was still waiting.
After another ten minutes wasted, Miranda finally went in. Then she came out five minutes later.
When the two returned to the banquet hall, Miranda happened to receive a call from Emily, who finally came over.
The two met at the entrance of the banquet hall. Miranda finally felt truly relaxed with Emily by her side.
The two women held hands and went to find Meryl together, but they didn't care about Chen Feng.
So Chen Feng also went to find Brother Martian with a drink. The two met unexpectedly several times, and Chen Feng also planned to make friends with him.
It's just that there are people coming and going in the banquet hall, and the light is not very bright, so it's really hard to find.
At this moment, Kate, who was tall, dressed in off-white and had a fragrant and fairy spirit, suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Hi! Why are you here alone? Where is your girlfriend?"
"Oh, she and her friend went to find Meryl. Aren't you with Meryl?"
Kate shook her head: "Meryl left with her husband. I think she might not come to this dinner."
Chen Feng nodded, and then asked curiously: "Are you alone?"
Kate smiled mysteriously and said: "There were a few people surrounding me just now. I really couldn't stand their boasting. I just happened to see you again, so I came over as an excuse to talk to your friend about something. You won't mind, right?"
Chen Feng felt the gazes of several men about ten meters behind her, and shrugged indifferently: "Of course not. Just by looking at them, they treat me as a love rival."
Kate couldn't help but giggle after hearing this: "For me, you are too young. Are you twenty?"
Chen Feng quickly corrected him: "I am twenty-three years old."
Kate stared at Chen Feng in surprise for a while, shook her head and said, "I think you are only twenty years old at most. You can't be twenty-three."
Chen Feng was speechless. He really couldn't argue. In terms of years, he would be 22 years old after the Chinese New Year this year.
"Okay. You can say whatever you want. However, I am indeed more than twenty years old this year." At this point, he paused and continued, "I'm going to find friends. You see..."
"Who is your friend? Maybe I know him." Kate asked enthusiastically.
Chen Feng resisted the urge to roll his eyes and replied: "Brother Martian, do you know him?"
Kate smiled and said: "We really know each other. One of my friends is her girlfriend's best friend, and I have been to his house several times for parties. I am very familiar with his girlfriend. Come on, I will take you to find him."
Kate was very enthusiastic and took Chen Feng to find Brother Martian. Then, she actually found him. In a corner where the lights were not bright, there was a row of sofas against the wall. Five or six people were sitting together.
Smoking cigars, drinking wine and chatting, among them was Brother Martian.
When the two found him, the guy was smoking a cigar and looking like he was enjoying himself very much.
"Hi Chen! Wow, Kate!" Brother Martian saw Chen Feng for the first time, and then he saw Kate standing up from her seat in surprise.
Several other people also stood up when they saw this. This is the most basic courtesy. Of course, the main reason is that Kate's position is here. She can be recognized as one of the top ten beauties in Hollywood.
Kate raised her eyebrows at Chen Feng, with an expression as if I know him.
"Boo, didn't Jessica come with you?" Kate asked Brother Martian naturally.
Brother Martian shook his head unnaturally and said, "No. This dinner invitation is not easy to get. I only got one because of my friend's influence."
Chen Feng knew the reason why he looked unnatural, because when this guy was puffing away, his left hand happened to be on a woman next to him. This woman had a beautiful face and was a black and white beauty. Chen Feng didn't know who she was, but
Anyone who can come here should be considered a star. Chen Feng even suspected that this woman was brought in by Brother Martian.
And Kate is familiar with his girlfriend, so when Kate saw him behaving so intimately with another woman, she obviously felt guilty.
Chen Feng was really speechless when he thought of this. He didn't want to get involved in such nonsense.
"Hi, hello." Kate said hello to the people around them, then looked at the beautiful woman next to Brother Martian and asked, "Hello, what's your name? Are you Boo's friend?"
This mixed-race beauty didn't have any stage fright. She smiled sweetly and said, "Yes. I am Bu's friend. My name is Melinda."
"You look familiar. Are you also an actor?"
"Yes. I played the role of Linda in "Armageddon"."
"Armageddon" was a relatively popular movie a few years ago, with a box office of nearly one billion U.S. dollars. Not many people have seen it.
"Oh, I remembered. You were the professor's daughter in the movie. However, you were only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl at that time. It's been five or six years now. Have you participated in any movies recently?
?”
This Melinda was only playing a supporting actress in "Armageddon" at that time. In addition, she had changed into a 18-year-old girl, so it was normal for her to be unrecognizable. And, obviously, in the past five or six years, she has become
There is no other film she can show off. Kate deliberately asked this question, which obviously made her unable to get off the stage.
"I'm going to audition for Nolan's "Interstellar" in a few days." Melinda said, holding on to her dignity. Kate smiled and nodded, saying nothing more.
Brother Martian quickly changed the subject and said, "You two, why don't you sit down and talk again."
Chen Feng and Kate sat down on the sofa diagonally opposite them.
"What were you talking about just now?" Kate asked with a smile.
One of the middle-aged men in his thirties said: "We are talking about the movie "Labyrinth". Mars said that the original soundtrack of this movie is very good, and we all agree."
The movie "Labyrinth" was the big winner at this Oscar, winning several awards.
"Chen, what do you think of the soundtrack of this movie?" Brother Martian asked Chen Feng.
Chen Feng suddenly felt embarrassed. He hadn't seen the movie "Labyrinth" yet, how would he evaluate it?
