Beckham looked at Gawain's meaningful, half-smile eyes, words welling up in his throat, and he swallowed involuntarily.
After a moment of daze, a smile crept back onto the corners of his mouth, and Beckham shook his head gently, "Gawain, are you sure you're only nineteen?"
It is no wonder that Beckham has always treated Gawain as a friend of the same generation. Gawain's wisdom and maturity always make people ignore his actual age.
Gawain had a serious expression on his face, and put his finger on his lips to make a "hush" gesture, "David, actually, I'm eighty-nine years old."
After saying that, Gawain silently mouthed the word "keep it a secret". His serious look made Beckham unable to hold back his laughter.
Looking at the mature and wise Gawain in front of him, Beckham finally did not continue to hide it. "John hopes that I can be an introducer to help you integrate into the social occasions of the premiere and make more friends, not only actors, but also important people in other fields. He thinks you need a little help."
"But in my opinion, John is worrying too much. Even without my help, you can handle it much better than I did back then."
At a movie premiere, the actors are the main characters standing under the spotlight, but as it is a social occasion, there are many other important people attending the premiere, including people from all walks of life and different fields. Obviously, Tobias hopes that Gawain can show his face a little outside the circle of competitive sports.
This is also an important step to becoming a world-class superstar.
Gawain raised his chin slightly, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment. "David, I think you may have misunderstood. John doesn't need you to be a nanny, but a companion. The real intention should be to prevent me from escaping from the premiere. You know, I disappeared without a trace."
“Ahem.” Beckham almost choked on his own saliva. “Escape…escape?”
Gao Wen said seriously, "You know, I'm only nineteen years old. I'm still in my rebellious adolescence. Running away from home is a common occurrence."
Beckham was a little slow to realize that Gao Wen was joking, but he didn't mind at all. "Haha, I told you, you don't need my help."
The fact is, so is it—
For Gao Wen, dealing with such social occasions is a piece of cake.
From fund managers in the City of Finance to gallery owners in Somerset House, from stage directors in London's West End to heirs of Middle Eastern oil tycoons, from trading managers at racecourses to top buyers at the four major fashion weeks... Gao Wen can easily deal with all kinds of people.
There was no need to even wait for the premiere to end before the name "Gawain" had already quietly spread.
And the most interesting thing is that people have not figured out Gowan's occupation at all. Some say Gowan is a rising star in Hollywood, some say Gowan is a senior executive on Wall Street, some say Gowan is the founder of a Silicon Valley technology company, and some say Gowan is actually a baron of the British nobility.
Even though he didn't understand Gawain's identity, it didn't affect his ability to thrive in social situations.
Of course, this also includes the creative team of "Mission Impossible 5".
Comedian Simon Pegg, who is well-known to the world for his role in "Shaun of the Dead", chatted and laughed with Gowan. Jeremy Renner, who entered the mainstream vision with the role of Hawkeye in "The Avengers", and Ving Rhames, who is well-known for the "Fast and Furious" series, also got to know Gowan.
Rebecca-Ferguson, the cool beauty from Sweden, had a great chat with Gawain until Tom Cruise showed up and interrupted the conversation.
Cruise, the undisputed superstar of the entire crew, made the final appearance. He spent 30 minutes walking the red carpet, which was less than 100 meters long. He interacted with fans and talked with reporters along the way, showing his charming and friendly superstar style and trying his best to meet the wishes of all fans.
After walking down the red carpet, Cruise immediately found Gawain and expressed his sincere gratitude for Gawain's wit and sensitivity in the chaos and crisis on the red carpet. If Gawain hadn't reacted quickly and contained the disaster in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Not only could it lead to unnecessary injuries, but it could also steal the spotlight from the premiere, which is obviously not a good thing for the film's subsequent box office performance.
But Gao Wen's timely response and clean handling minimized the negative impact of the riot. The riot on the red carpet lasted less than two minutes before calm was restored and there was no further spread. This was undoubtedly very important good news for the film crew.
No wonder Cruise personally came out to express his gratitude.
Originally, Cruise just came here to show his sincerity, but after a short conversation, he felt Gawain's style and wisdom, and his unique temperament really left a deep impression on him, so much so that Cruise also became a little interested, and the polite conversation lasted for a while.
Unfortunately, as the host and the absolute protagonist of today, Cruise needs to take care of the whole audience and can't stay for long.
So Cruise invited Gawain to the celebration party after the premiere, hoping that Gawain could enjoy a wonderful night. Then, they could continue talking and partying at the party.
Although he felt sorry, Gao Wen still rejected Cruise in person, "...it's my honor, but I'm a professional player and I need to prepare for the game next week."
The upright professionalism not only did not make Cruise angry, but he praised him even more.
Cruise has always been committed to his profession and professionalism, so he did all the stunts in "Mission Impossible 5" himself, including those in the sky and the sea.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
While filming "Mission Impossible 4", Cruise was going to climb the Burj Khalifa in Dubai himself to complete all the stunts, and he took a photo without any protective equipment while sitting on the top of the tower, which became a hit on social networks.
At the time, insurance companies refused to insure Cruise for these shoots, so Cruise simply cancelled his insurance contract and completed all the shoots.
Therefore, Cruise appreciated Gawain's choice and showed interest in Gawain's game. "Maybe, I'll go and take a look."
While waiting for Cruise to leave, Gawain looked at Beckham and gave him a meaningful look.
Tobias said that he came to the movie premiere at the invitation of Cruise, but now it seems that this must be a lie, and the real inviter should be Beckham; otherwise, Cruise's performance and reaction just now would be irrelevant.
Beckham felt guilty when he was stared at, so he whistled to divert his attention, which made Gawain laugh.
Although Gao Wen still had doubts before setting off, he decided to make the best of it since he was already here. Gao Wen was not the type to get hung up on things, so it no longer mattered who invited him. The correct way to watch the movie was to just relax and enjoy it.
At least Tobias was right about one thing. Although the competitions and training were very tight and there was no time to slack off, there was still time to watch a movie.
"Mission Impossible 5", I'm looking forward to it.
