Hollywood Domination Chapter 451: Participation time (below)
"Not going anywhere - just waiting for you there?"
After drinking half a glass of gin and tonic in one breath, Harry recovered his strength a little, and hissed to Jon, "What are you thinking?——that sounded so hopeless! Seriously, is it necessary?" Jon, who was leaning on the edge of the bar with him, didn't seem to hear his complaint at all, and just gave a dreamlike 'hmm', her eyes were clearly fixed on At a certain point in the crowd—and Jennifer, who was chatting and laughing with the youtube executives, seemed to notice the eyes on the other side of the bar. She smiled and turned her head, wiggling her fingers gently and covertly, and gave them a wait posture.
And this set off a series of small gasps in the trio, as Jon, Harry, and Charles couldn't help but stand up and give her a distorted exclamation of excitement. Imitating the movement, twisting her fingers clumsily, and signaling Jennifer not to worry with a smile on her face. It wasn't until she turned her head back into the conversation that the trio sat back down again, looking at me and looking at you, but no one spoke anymore: it was clear that screams were the only way to express their feelings now , but not to mention that Harry and Charles are men, and this is an important party, it is said that in the presence of Jennifer, the performance is too fan-like, which also makes the three friends feel a little ashamed, and even more afraid of being Jennifer sees it, scares her away, or makes the conversation awkward afterward.
"—Wow." After a period of silence, Charles still spoke, he glanced at Jennifer in the crowd again, and said half-jokingly to Harry and Jon, "It's just— Wow, I don't know how to describe it. I can even remember things from ten years ago. Should I say that her memory is too good, or that you are too lucky? Or that you were too crazy at the time, leaving her behind Too deep impression?"
"We were definitely not crazy at the time." Harry and Jon glanced at each other, with some nostalgia on their faces, Harry shook his head, "It's just—maybe it was because the number of people was small at that time, and I did More conspicuous."
Professing that he is no longer a fan, but he still has a good impression of Jennifer, but he is actually the most excited of several people. He almost didn't cry just now, but now he said with mixed feelings, "But really I never thought that she would remember me..."
Looking at Jennifer with a bright smile not far away, he shook his head, "It's like... I don't know what to say, but to be honest, it's all like a dream."
"Yes, it's hard to feel that kind of reality until now," Jon also felt the same way, "Although she is not far in front of your eyes, you can see her clearly - so beautiful, It's as if the whole body is glowing—even better than that night at the Oscars—"
Looking at Jennifer, who was wearing an ivory dress in the distance and her blond hair was rolled up high, she said dreamily, "So beautiful——the face is so small, so delicate, really, all of this is just like I'm dreaming—"
"Yeah," Charles also sighed, and said with a wry smile, "I thought—after meeting her several times, I could communicate with her normally, just like a friend, but really, when When she turns her attention to you, actually sees you, and starts talking to you—"
Both Harry and Jon sighed empathetically, and Jon swallowed a mouthful of Mojito, pulled himself out of the dreamlike emotion, and returned to reality, "However, Shouldn't you take care of the guests, Charles, don't you plan to wait by the bar with the two of us?"
"...But I don't want to go there." Charles said reluctantly, "Seriously, I'm not the focus of the party-don't look at me like that, obviously, j.j is, see, when Once she started socializing and everyone pushed her way, even Mark, I figured I'd better stop wasting my time—what if I got stuck when j.j came over?"
Harry and Jon looked at each other, and they both laughed helplessly, but they could understand his feelings, Harry said, "It will be difficult for her to get out within half an hour at least—Zade! You just went Where is it!"
He excitedly said to Zade who appeared behind Charles like a ghost, "You really shouldn't have walked away just now—Charles introduced us to j.j!"
"Yeah, Zade, you shouldn't be running around! Now don't walk around, stay with us." Jon also chimed in. No longer a fan, but now the most eager to show off, Harry, who has already started talking about the process just now, "She will come back in a while-God, she is really very, very sweet, once she knows we are his. Fan, just said she wanted to have a good chat with us, and she really—"
She framed her words, "She really cares—you know."
Looking around at Charles and Harry, Jon said, as if seeking reassurance, "You can feel her concern, can't you, guys? She's not just being polite, you can feel it, she's really proud of us— —she genuinely cared about our lives, was proud of our accomplishments, and wanted to help us—"
Both Harry and Charles could only nod their heads, and Harry said softly, "It's really hard to imagine... If she didn't experience it personally, it's hard to imagine that she could remember an unknown person ten years ago... Actually really caring... You know, I'm not saying that all successful people are high-spirited, it's just—"
He gestured in Jennifer's direction, "It's just that she's so—so busy, isn't she? She talks to amazing people, and she has too many valid reasons to forget you." , we weren't even expected to be remembered by her, but she—seriously, she still remembers—it's like you are no different from those people... You are no different from her, and one day you can be It's so good... I don't know what to say..."
He laughed a few times and asked himself, "Is there a reason why she is so successful?"
"I think it's...great." Charles shook his head, staring at the crowd dimly, "Isn't it? It's true in every way—she can do things you can't , it is absolutely impossible to do it, this is the basic condition, but the most important thing is her personality—"
Describing a young movie star—no matter how high her achievements are—as great may seem nasty, but neither Jon nor Harry has any objection, even the most objective Harry in the past , all nodded silently by default. Jon whispered, "Yes, her charisma--you really think liking her is the best decision you've ever made..."
Her voice was also a little choked, Charles and Harry didn't speak, Harry bit his lower lip and nodded, with tears in his eyes - and Jon glanced at Zad who had been just listening , a little guilty to get rid of that dreamy tone, no longer obsessed with Jenny, but said in a relaxed tone, "Look, she is so friendly with her ex-husband——"
"Yes, they looked so intimate when they walked in together." Charles and Harry also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little out of control, and they both responded positively to this topic, "Really, when When you think all the exes back as friends are scams - I guess that's what makes them different from us, isn't it? Talent on their level -"
"Ooh, Syed, it's Syed," Charles murmured, "Here he is—he's gone to j.j's—"
Although he didn't want to leave the bar for 'unnecessary entertainment', it is clear that the existence of the largest shareholder and benefactor can still make Charles relapse. The most important thing is that Said walked towards Jennifer with a clear goal, which is also true. Provided Charles with a lot of motivation, he slid neatly into the crowd and headed for Syed's place. And Harry and Jon, who really planned to guard the bar and not go anywhere, sat still, peeping at the interaction in the crowd with great interest, "This is Syed—he really looks good."
"Look at the way he looks at Jennifer - it's so obvious, Charles is right, I'm sure he's a fan too..."
In the interaction between Said and Jennifer, Charles can only be a passerby. Only Cesare's reaction is worthy of the audience's attention-seeing the dark-skinned and handsome Said with a group of 'Little brother' walked towards Jennifer, Cesare first moved a bit, blocking half of Jennifer's body, but then, as if he remembered something, a faint smile escaped from his thin lips, and he moved aside again passage, to make room for Jennifer and Syed. This delicate scene is full of tension, and people can't help but pay attention to Jennifer's reaction——
However, it is a pity that, compared with Said, who has obvious intentions, and Cesare, whose mental activities are still elusive, Jennifer's expression is so impeccable, and no one can see the politeness. There is some thought hidden under the decent smile, but to Jon and Harry's surprise and satisfaction, Jennifer's attitude towards Syed is far from being as enthusiastic as she was towards them just now...
"This is Jennifer." Jon raised an eyebrow at Harry and whispered, and Harry raised an eyebrow back, "What a dream girl-I can completely understand Syed, there is Who can not fall for her?"
"It looks like she'll have to wait a long time to get away." Zade on the side suddenly interjected, he squinted his eyes and looked at Jennifer in the distance, and said in a low voice, "We have to wait here for a long time. "
If he was waiting for others, even his own lover, Jon would not have such patience. However, after the conversation with Jennifer just now-this is of course another matter. She defended Jennifer, "After all, she is so popular, almost everyone wants to interact with her-but, I believe she will definitely come back to us, definitely."
"I didn't say she wouldn't," Zade said lightly, "just—let's be patient, shall we?"
He chuckled, "God knows, I was afraid that you guys would run away first—who will introduce me to her then?"
In the face of idols, almost everyone is a little out of order, so Jon just gave Zade a strange look, and didn't pursue the slight tremor in his tone. She laughed, "Oh, you are so cute , Zade—how could we go first?"
Ordered another round of drinks for the three of them, and Jon paid attention to not ordering wine--Zade was right about this, the wait would definitely last a long time, enough to make them drunk, and Jon could Don't want to ruin this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with a few drinks.
Charles was chatting with Said's friends and introducing his project. It could be seen that he had completely entered the role, but he no longer cared about Jennifer not far away. Said clearly intended to talk to Jennifer, while Cesare left the area and chatted with another group of executives. Men and women in fancy clothes walked towards Jennifer, chatting with her confidently and tremblingly... …In Jennifer's swan-like graceful posture and her polite, rich and sincere expressions, time seems to pass quickly, and the party has come to an end in just a blink of an eye. Syed and his friends left the venue first, Syed was clearly disappointed - the company staff slipped off to their nightclub for a real chill out party (obviously encouraged by Charles), the lobby was deserted After getting down, Jennifer finally ended the chat with a certain executive, turned around and walked towards the bar with a clear goal.
"Finally." Her sweet smile was slightly apologetic, "—after all, work always comes first."
Jon, Harry, and Charles, who came from afar, were eager to show their indifference, but Zad was keen to get ahead of everyone.
"I noticed that you had a long chat with Netflix and youtube guests tonight." His tone was calm and smart, "I guess--business expansion needs?"
Jennifer glanced at him with a smile, not hiding her surprise and admiration, while Charles introduced in a timely manner, "Jennifer, this is the Zad Porter I just mentioned—"
Jennifer stretched out her hand and shook Zade lightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, looking him up and down, revealing a somewhat innocent expression of talent. "You look familiar too—have I seen you somewhere?"
Zade looked at Jennifer expectantly, and Jon noticed that his hands were trembling, and she couldn't help laughing secretly: Zade did not talk much tonight, it seems that this is because he was too nervous, after all, There is no doubt that he likes Jennifer the most among the four.
"...Sorry, I'm afraid I can't remember--but I really think we've met before, you know, I think you look familiar--" Jennifer thought for a while, and finally shook her head giving up , and sent a sweet smile to Zade.
"Fan events... I've been to a few times." Zade finally said with a smile, and Charles lost no time in interjecting, "This is where we first met."
The few people looked at each other and smiled. Jennifer looked around the hall and suddenly sighed. Jon and the others also followed her eyes and saw the other two guests coming towards this side. Jennifer shook her head, picked up her own juice, and motioned for several people to follow.
"There should be a study upstairs or something, let's go up," she stuck out her tongue, "Charles, I want to know everything about tikt, and Harry, is your app looking for investment ?”
Jon's heart beat faster again, and she realized almost instinctively—
"Of course, I also have a lot to know about Jon." Yes, Jennifer's thoughtful attention will not miss anyone, she winked at Jon, "It must be very uncomfortable to manage a fan forum Take it easy, I think you'll have a lot of stories to share with me."
They set foot on the level, and Zade was at the end, but everyone's eyes fell on him following the order of Jennifer's chat—according to the order, he should be next. And Jennifer didn't disappoint anyone.
"And, Zade, do you also live in San Francisco?" she asked kindly. "What is your job?"
"I'm very glad you asked this question," Zade also smiled, and he put his hand into his suit, and Jon snickered: she confiscated Zade's business card—
Then, Zade pulled out something dark - Jon stared at it, unable to make out what it was for a moment, until Zade shook his hand and snapped it casually.
There was a loud bang, as if something was broken, and a scream came from a distance. Jon kept turning his head in a daze, watching the change of Jennifer's expression—a pleasant sweet smile distorted Cheng was shocked, his red lips parted, and a scream came from a place very close to Jon——
She suddenly lost her balance, and was dragged by someone and almost rolled and fell down the stairs. To be honest, Jon didn't remember how she got down. She seemed to be on the ground in a blink of an eye. Harry Hugged tightly in front of her, and through Harry's shoulder she could see Jennifer, and Zade behind Jennifer—strangely, the gun was gone just now, and neither Jennifer nor Zade didn't even move, they just leaned their backs against the wall stiffly, standing on the stairwell overlooking everyone——
Zade's mouth opened and closed, as if talking about something, screaming one after another, suddenly someone appeared beside them, and Jennifer started to yell——
With a buzz, Jon's world suddenly became clear again, and all the voices swept back, Jennifer's shout, and the footsteps of Charles, Harry, and all the rest—
"I'll shoot anyone who steps on the stairs." Of course, there's Zade's voice—Zade's voice is clear, steady, and not at all trembling. "Anyone who steps on the stairs, I will shoot."
His shoulder pushed forward, and Jennifer also swayed forward, as if something was pushing her back——
"Oh," said Jon, dazedly, "that gun—"
Yes, she knows where the gun is now - she knows where the gun is now.
