Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 124: During the Banquet

When the time came to eight o'clock, the "Jane Eyre" box office miracle celebration banquet also began. Amid applause, Hudson stepped onto the podium.

"Thank you, thank you all for coming tonight. I think this is a very meaningful place. Because before that, the opening ceremony of "Jane Eyre" was also held here. And now its celebration banquet is also here It was held. It was like being here to witness its beginning and its glory. It was a wonderful feeling.”

Speaking of this, there was immediate applause from the audience.

"Thank you, thank you for your applause. I also thank you for your support. It is your support that made "Jane Eyre" embark on the road of miracles. Especially Kevin, who wrote such a classic as "Jane Eyre" script."

Kevin stood up and waved to everyone present. This is the first time he has appeared in front of the stars and celebrities.

Before that, many seniors, especially those who no longer paid attention to the film and television industry, didn't even know about Kevin's existence. After hearing what Hudson said, they all looked at Kevin curiously.

They all expressed surprise when they saw that this work, which created a miracle in the British film and television industry, was written by such a young face.

"I hope everyone can have a good time and drink tonight. Because this is a happy evening, we shouldn't bring those anxiety and pressure on us. Come on, let me toast everyone."

After finishing speaking, Hudson raised the high-heeled glass to the audience, and everyone stood up one after another, drinking the champagne in the glass together with Hudson.

After Hudson finished speaking, it was time for everyone to eat and drink with each other. This kind of banquet is different from Huaxia on Earth. Although they also eat and drink, but in the UK, their behavior is much more elegant. At least, on such an occasion, you won't see the phenomenon of guessing codes aloud or profanity.

As the leading actor in "Jane Eyre", Bella also became completely popular in this play. Her net worth has also doubled because of this movie. Therefore, at this time, many people came over to toast with her.

Because of Hudson's introduction just now, many directors and some seniors also came over at this time to get to know Kevin.

"Hello, dear Kevin, Nove Akil, I hope to be friends with you." A gray-haired old man walked up to Kevin at this time and raised a high-heeled glass to him.

Although Kevin only traveled from Earth in his previous life, the memory of Kevin in his mind still told him. The old man in front of him was directed by the famous Nove Akil.

When it comes to British films, one has to talk about director Nove Aguirre. Because director Nove Akil is a leading figure in the British film and television industry. Although he has lived in seclusion these years, he is no longer stepping into the British film and television industry. But the great contributions he has made in the British film and television industry are still deeply respected by everyone.

"Hello, respected Director Nove Akil, it's a great honor to be your friend."

"I didn't expect that "Jane Eyre" was written by you. It's really good. I watched both the movie and the script. It's very good. It's a pity that you were not born in those years when I made the movie. Otherwise, I think this work will be my favorite I will choose without any hesitation," Nove Akil said.

"Thank you, respected Nove Akil, I am not worthy of your praise. Oh, cheers."

After speaking, Kevin raised his cup and lightly touched Director Nove Akil's cup, and then drank it politely.

Nove Akil had vaguely seen the shadow of a great playwright in Kevin. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he seemed a little unlucky. If I encountered a work like Kevin or "Jane Eyre" when I was young. Perhaps he can do more for the British film industry.

"Young man, please work harder. This is my business card. If you need any help in the future, you can come to me at any time."

After finishing speaking, director Nove Akil took out one of his gold card business cards from the pocket of his suit and handed it to Kevin.

Gold card business cards are generally not given to people, and those who are given are more precious friends or important guests. Nove Akil's willingness to give the gold card business card to Kevin proved that he was very optimistic about Kevin as a friend in his heart.

This made Kevin a little flattered, after all, Nove Akil's status in the British film and television industry cannot be underestimated. It is not easy for him to respect a newcomer writer so much. Therefore, Kevin immediately took the business card from Nove Akil respectfully, and carefully put it in his pocket.

"Thank you, respected Mr. Nove Akil, you are the greatest British director at any time. I have liked your movies since I was a child, and you have always been my idol." Kevin said.

After Director Nove Akil chatted with Kevin for a few minutes, he went to other places to socialize. Just as Kevin sat down, Alva came back dizzy from drinking at this time.

Kevin worried that she would faint, so he helped her down immediately. But the moment he reached out to help Alva, the girl who was already drunk directly waded into Kevin's arms. Kevin accidentally touched two sensitive peaks, and immediately felt a soft feeling.

"Sorry, I drank a little too much, so my legs are weak."

Alva also knew that she had lost her composure at this time, so she said it immediately.

"It's okay, I'll help you sit down first."

Kevin helped Alva into the seat, and then got her a hot towel to stick to her forehead.

"Thank you, Kevin." Alva said gratefully.

"We are all friends, don't say such polite words. You should rest for a while. Maybe you will feel more comfortable later..."

"Well, go and help me see Bella. I guess she's almost drunk."

After Alva said this, Kevin remembered. At the opening banquet of "Jane Eyre" last time, Bella was drowsy because everyone toasted each other. Tonight's situation is probably similar to last time.

Kevin looked around, and finally found Bella at a table in the north direction. Bella was chatting happily with Director Hudson and several people. Seeing that she was not drunk yet, Kevin was relieved a lot.

Director Hudson also called Kevin to his side at this time, and then introduced some better friends to Kevin along the way. These people are well-known in the British film and television and entertainment circles. But writers are not lazy in this parallel world. So they were all polite to Kevin too.

After all the way down, Kevin had already drank more than a dozen glasses of red wine. Of course, this little wine didn't seem like a big deal to him. Since childhood, Kevin rarely used the word drunk.

Seeing Bella return to the table, Kevin followed suit.

"Bella, are you okay?" Kevin asked concerned.

"No, I just drank a little too much. I want to take a break. Oh, Alva is drunk again. Damn it, this guy's drinking capacity has been cultivated for so long, and it hasn't had any effect." Bella said.

Bella planned to stay on the table and take care of Alva, so she didn't go out to greet others or socialize.

The same is true for Kevin, who doesn't like those social occasions in the first place. Plus he doesn't know many people here well. Except when Director Hudson called him over, he was also in his seat at other times. Occasionally, someone came to chat with him and say hello, so he socialized. If not, he was also chatting with Bella in situ.
