Chapter 492 What a coincidence

Wang Shu happened to notice this and felt inexplicably embarrassed.

Kate didn't pay attention to these and continued chatting about random things.

"Shu, let's have a chance to work together." Kate said carelessly.

Although Wang Shu is now the Oscar-winning director, she is also the Oscar-winning actress and is in high spirits, so she has the confidence to say so.

just
Wang Shu was speechless, because standing next to Kate was the youngest best director winner at the last Oscars, and also her husband.

Now, Kate said this to the youngest Oscar-winning director in front of her husband.
Where does Sam Mendes' face go?
"No way, no way? They are getting divorced. Could it be that I am the reason behind it?"

Wang Shu was shocked.

It is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Kate did not hide her love for Leo, which made Sam Mendes, the youngest Oscar-winning director alive before Wang Shu won the award, feel very upset. He had been enduring it until the moment of explosion.

Now, Kate was embarrassed again because she spoke without thinking.

Perhaps, this is the last straw that breaks the camel's back?
Wang Shu feels so wronged!

He secretly glanced at Sam Mendes. Although the other party's Qi-cultivation skills were quite good, Wang Shu still noticed something unusual and was speechless.

Wang Shu could understand Sam Mendes' feelings.

Before this, Sam Mendes was the youngest Oscar-winning director in Hollywood, and he received constant praise and compliments.

Kate, as his wife, clearly had him by her side, but she expressed in front of him that she hoped to work with the director who had snatched his title of the youngest Oscar winner in Hollywood.

Where does this put his face?
Seeing Kate's expectant look, Wang Shu reluctantly replied, "Okay, we'll work together if we have a chance."

Kate smiled when she heard that. She turned her head and saw Sam Mendes with a stern face. She couldn't help but said with a stern face, "Sam, why do you seem unhappy that I won the Oscar?"

"Ah? No." Sam Mendes was caught off guard by Kate's sudden question and quickly responded, "Of course I'm happy, I was just thinking about something."

Kate's expression improved when she heard that. She then chatted with Wang Shu with a smile for a few words before turning around and leaving.

She is the newly crowned Oscar winner and has a lot of social connections, so it is impossible for her to keep chatting with Wang Shu.

Wang Shu looked at the two people's backs as they left and shook his head. He thought that just like in the original timeline, the two would get divorced soon.

This is Kate too.
Even though she has a son with Sam Mendes and her husband is the youngest Oscar-winning director in Hollywood, she is still obsessed with Leo.

It's fine if they just think about it privately, but everyone just turns a blind eye and pretends they don't see it.

But during the film art awards ceremony, she expressed her love to Leo in front of her husband in front of many Hollywood filmmakers.
Especially since Sam Mendes is the proud youngest living Hollywood director to win an Oscar.

It's really hard to collapse.

After a while, Kate came over again, but the people next to her were no longer Sam Mendes, but Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, two Oscar-winning actresses.

Including Kate, there are three Oscar-winning actresses.

"Shu, they are..." Kate came over and introduced the two people beside her to Wang Shu with a smile.

"Hello," Wang Shu looked at Nicole and Reese and responded politely.

"Shu, congratulations on winning the award." Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon also responded politely.

Kate winked at Wang Shu and said, "Shu, Reese is single."

Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. Nicole Kidman remarried in 2006, but Reese Witherspoon just broke up with her boyfriend and is currently single.

Reese Witherspoon rolled her eyes at Kate when she heard this.

However, his eyes then fell on Wang Shu, as if he was sizing him up.

With Kate's introduction, Nicole and Reese immediately started chatting with Wang Shu.

The three people including Kate are actors, while Wang Shu is a director. He is also very talented. He won the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 22, making him the youngest Oscar-winning director in history.

Since they were at the Governor's Ball, they naturally wanted to make some friends.

Wang Shu chatted with the three people for a while, and then someone else came over. Wang Shu immediately continued to communicate with them with a smile.

He won an Oscar for Best Director and was one of the handsome guys, so people always came to talk to him and he was constantly socializing.

Wang Shu was busy all the time.

I finally got some free time and was able to eat something.

The Governors Ball is the official party of the Oscars.

The food at the ball was very rich, including caviar, lobster, crab legs, salmon, desserts...

In addition, there are many Chinese dishes.

This is because at past parties, guests spoke highly of Chinese food, so Chinese food accounted for an increasing proportion, and even this year's party was filled with various Chinese elements.

In fact, the Oscar party is usually composed of a series of parties. The most widely reported party every year is the "Governors Ball", which is also the official party of the Oscars. The "Governors Ball" is held every year after the Oscars ceremony. It is held at the Ray Dolby Ballroom on the top floor of the Hollywood Highland Center. Half of the 3000 spectators at the Oscars ceremony will attend this official dinner. Among these 1500 people are Oscar winners, nominees, producers in front of and behind the scenes of the ceremony, and other guests.

In addition to the official parties, there are also many "wild" parties before and after the awards ceremony. These events are usually hosted by entertainment media companies.

For example, Vanity Fair magazine holds such a party every year, attracting a large number of celebrities to participate. The more famous the celebrities invited to the event, the more influential the organizer is in the circle.

Zhang Ziyi attended the Vanity Fair party.

In addition, Madonna, Portman, Marion, Meryl Streep and others also attended this "wild chicken" party.

At the entire Vanity Fair party, only Oscar Best Original Screenplay winner Black and one or two other winners attended; no other award winners came to the party.

However, although Vanity Fair was a wild party, it has now developed into an exclusive party for Hollywood celebrities. Many stars who were unable to go to the Oscars red carpet will come to attend this party.

Some people even spent thirty or forty thousand dollars to get a ticket to enter.

Some people have always wondered why there is a new person on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine after the Oscars?
The answer lies at the Vanity Fair party.

In short, an unknown actress took the opportunity to wade through the swimming pool. Her deep V dress became see-through after getting wet. She successfully attracted the cameras of reporters and was considered courageous and promising.
Wang Shu also received an invitation to the Vanity Fair party, but he attended the "Governors Ball", the official Oscar party, not the Vanity Fair party.

"Shu, congratulations on winning the award."

Wang Shu was eating Chinese food, and he heard compliments from time to time around him.

There is no way. The new Oscar-winning best director is also the youngest best director in Oscar history. He will next direct "Life of Pi" which is being prepared by Fox.

He was definitely one of the most handsome guys at the whole party.

"Thank you."

Although he didn't know the person, Wang Shu still responded politely.

"Matt, we want to meet Wang Shu. Can you introduce him to us?" Penelope Cruz walked to Matt Damon and said expectantly.

There are several actresses around her.

In 2000, Penelope Cruz and Matt Damon co-starred in the western romance film "Horse" and got to know each other.

Matt Damon was not surprised to hear this because many people at the party asked him to be an intermediary for introductions.

In response, he did not refuse, but joked: "Shu is still single."

Penelope Cruz smiled when she heard this but did not respond.

However, the other actresses beside her were dazzled.

Matt Damon walked Penelope Cruz to Wang Shu and said with a smile, "Shu, this is Penelope, the best supporting actress tonight."

Then he introduced several other actresses behind Penelope.

"Hello." Wang Shu smiled and continued his business.

The party after the Oscars is an opportunity to make friends and expand your network.

It is very common for people like Penelope to find someone they know as a go-between to get to know other people.

"Hello." Penelope and others also responded politely.

If it were someone else, Penelope wouldn't have approached Matt Damon as a middleman to propose an introduction.

But Wang Shu is different.

Not only is he the youngest Oscar-winning Best Director in history, he is also a truly talented director.

It is every actor's luck to be able to work with such a talented director.

Penelope won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but never won the Oscar for Best Actress.

She wondered, if she could work with Wang Shu in the future, would she have a chance to win the Oscar for Best Actress?
Although neither Monica nor Scarlett Johansson was nominated for an Oscar this time, Wang Shu is after all the director who won the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival.

This shows that Wang Shu has the ability to produce an international film queen.

The rest is up to the actors themselves.

"Shu, I don't know if you still remember that we met at the Cannes Film Festival in 06." Penelope said with a smile.

She was busy with work and didn't go to the cinema to watch the American version of "The Piano Tuner". In addition, the English name of the movie was different from the original version, and she didn't pay attention to it, so she didn't think about it that way.

Later I learned that Wang Shu won the Cannes Best Actress award at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

I thought, isn’t this a coincidence?

She was also one of the winners of the Cannes Film Festival in 06.

As she turned around, she recalled some memories.

At the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, in addition to "Return" helping several of their actresses win the Best Actress Award, another Chinese-language film also won a Best Actress.
Now that I think about it, isn’t that exactly The Tuner?

Isn’t that young director back then the youngest Oscar-winning director in history?
