From Flower Vase to Film Emperor in Hollywood

Maggie Gyllenhaal, an actress whose representative works include "Crazy Heart", "The Dark Knight", "Deuce", and "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind", a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman.

Peter Sarsgaard, an actor with representative works including "Blue Jasmine", "Jackie", "An Education", and "Orphan", is a highly acclaimed actor who has been active in the independent film scene for many years.

Among the more than four hundred thousand actors in Hollywood, there has always been a group of outstanding actors who unfortunately have not been recognized with awards. Awards ultimately require some luck and opportunity, and Maggie and Peter are two of them.

In his previous life, the two actors were very low-key. After dating for many years, they chose to enter the marriage hall hand in hand in 2009. Until the end of Anson's familiar timeline, the two were still happily and stably married, spending more than twenty years together since they started dating, which is a model in Hollywood where the divorce rate is ridiculously high.

However, the two actors are particularly low-key, and Anson didn't delve into it, so he doesn't know when Maggie and Peter officially started dating.

Now, Anson can't be 100% sure whether he is "spoiling" something that could still happen, like in "Back to the Future."

Although Maggie really wants to swear right now, she doesn't have the mind to do so and is preoccupied with something else.

Maggie never expected that she would reveal herself in front of a little kid. It must have been her eyes that leaked the information after the tango ended.

Maggie and Peter had only just started dating for a short time, less than three months, and they were both relatively cautious, not rushing to define the relationship—

Dating is just dating, not a relationship where they have confirmed they are officially together.

But Maggie genuinely likes Peter, and she hopes to manage this relationship in a low-key manner. In an environment like Hollywood, a stable relationship is really too rare and too fragile, and it can be wiped out with a little carelessness.

She doesn't want that outcome. Who knows, maybe one day she will fall in love with Peter?

Maggie was a little annoyed and a little depressed, and glared at Anson.

Anson could sense the resentment—

He couldn't help but laugh.

Immediately, Anson immediately realized that now was not the time to joke, and quickly pursed his lips, and used his actions to indicate that he would keep it a secret.

He looked well-behaved.

Maggie couldn't help it for a moment, and a smile climbed back to the corner of her mouth; realizing that she had failed, Maggie tried to look serious and maintain her composure, but still failed.

"Jack never told me that he became friends with the devil."

Anson smiled, "Oh, are we friends? I didn't even know."

"Haha." Maggie finally couldn't help it, "Haha." After a pause, "You're cuter than Jack."

In Maggie's eyes, Anson is her brother's friend, just like her brother.

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from behind, "...What's going on here?"

Turning her head, she could see Steven Spielberg in a suit and leather shoes, looking at the bustling ballroom as if he had discovered a new continent.

"This should be the noisiest it's ever been before an awards ceremony in my memory."

Maggie was about to explain when she heard Anson's words in her ear, "Thank you."

Maggie was stunned.

It turned out that Anson realized the stalemate just now, and Maggie's coming forward helped to resolve the dilemma.

If it weren't for Maggie, Anson could have handled it himself, but it wouldn't have been so simple.

Before Maggie could react, Anson had already greeted him, "I just entertained everyone a little bit. I should be the first person after Shirley Temple to perform a tap dance to liven things up offstage, right?"

One second, two seconds—

Haha, hahaha!

Anson didn't complain to Steven, not only didn't he, but he also mentioned the dance just now in an understated way, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Since Anson wasn't going to say it, the other guests naturally wouldn't expose their shortcomings.

As for whether Steven knew the truth after the awards ceremony, that was another matter.

Anson gave them a ladder, and the surrounding guests readily accepted it and turned hostility into friendship, one by one raising their glasses to Anson with smiles on their faces.

The atmosphere became lively again.

In fact, before the awards ceremony ended, Steven knew the situation. Steven was slightly stunned, smiled dumbly, and couldn't help but admire.

"He is a good kid."

If Anson made the situation awkward on the spot, whether it was complaining to Steven or presuming on Steven's power, it would seem foolish and inferior—

Because it would put Steven in an awkward position. Should he be angry, and who should he be angry with? Should he support Anson, and how should he support Anson?

Perhaps, this way Anson could vent his anger, but the situation afterward would not be good, and the relationship between Steven and Anson might gradually become estranged.

However, Anson didn't.

Not only did he not eagerly try to save face, but he also took the initiative to resolve the conflict, showing his magnanimity and demeanor, and the whole situation suddenly became different.

In this way, not only did Steven not have to face a tricky problem, but also the guests on the scene did not have to choose a position between Steven and Brad, and the tense atmosphere was easily resolved.

After all, this is an awards ceremony.

After the party is over, Anson will instead become the focus of praise.

Similarly, Steven also had to admire Anson, and thank Anson for not putting himself in a dilemma.

"Hehe."

Thinking about it carefully, the smile on the corner of Steven's mouth couldn't help but bloom.

"Maybe Hollywood really has a new figure."

Steven wasn't the only one who thought so.

When Steven Spielberg appeared, the guests in the ballroom realized that the farce should come to an end. No one dared to show the male lead of Steven's movie a bad face in person, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.

Soon, the second and third guests who broke the deadlock and took the initiative to visit appeared.

"Sorry, I hope I didn't interrupt anything."

Maggie was still admiring, why Jack and Anson are friends of similar age, but the gap between the two is so big. Jack is still a reckless youth, but Anson is already able to control the whole audience with ease in social situations.

A little slower, she noticed Uma Thurman in a goose-yellow evening dress.

This actress, who became famous all over the world for "Pulp Fiction", naturally exudes a Nordic coolness and charm. The distinct and tough facial features show a unique temperament that is both heroic and neat, standing out from the crowd.

The scene in front of her is the same—

As soon as she appears, the attention naturally focuses on her.
