Graydon Carter's leadership as editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair has not wavered for two decades. Even Michael Eisner, known as the king of Disney, has retired from the stage of history. However, Graydon's position It is still stable, and more importantly, the status of "Vanity Fair" in the industry has been steadily improving..
This skill and wisdom are no small matter.
This time, Graydon spent half a year planning and planning to invite Renly to attend the Oscar night, as if he was just making real friends and never revealed his intentions until the Oscar nominations were officially announced. This was only the third time he mentioned it to Roy and the first time he mentioned it directly to Renly, asking about Renly's intention to attend Oscar night..
“After the completion of "The Ballad of Drunken Country", Graydon himself arrived in New York in person and delivered the invitation letter to Roy. Renly had disappeared at that time, and no one could find him. In the end, Matthew Dunlop replaced Renly and accepted the invitation. The invitation was given - because Roy couldn't change Renly's mind, but Matthew could.
The interesting part is here. Graydon prepared an invitation letter early and sent it to Matthew. Because Matthew is a top lawyer, a hereditary noble, and Renly's best friend, he has the ability to invite others to the invitation letter that others only dream of. Invitation letters, Graydon generously prepared two.
As for Roy, Nathan and Andy, they can enter the party together as Renly's companions.
Later Matthew learned that Eaton Dormer and Andre Hamilton also received invitations. What does this mean? This means that Graydon has great powers. Not only did he find out Renly's friends clearly, but he also carefully controlled the situation and only invited those who had direct or indirect connections with Hollywood. More importantly, he used the momentum of his friends to make insidious remarks. to further promote Renly's willingness to attend..
The clever thing is that Graydon never really expresses the request, nor does he really make the request seriously. After laying out all the clues and details, he quietly waits for the effect to ferment. In other words, not in the way of work, but in the way of work. Using a personal relationship to downplay the powerful influence of Oscar night as much as possible, as if he just invited Renly to a private party. This is the real genius..
With such an acting style, he is not only a smart public relations person, but also a seasoned upper class person. Graydon clearly knows that nobles will not compromise and nod easily. Glory and dignity are their most important qualities. Reservedness Being reserved and restrained is undoubtedly the normal state of communication. Only by using appropriate methods can we win the right to talk to them on an equal footing..
Even if Matthew doesn't like Graydon very much - because there are quite a lot of such clever characters in London, he still has to admit that Graydon is very smart and wise. "If he and Arthur meet, they will be Individuals should be able to find a lot of common topics." This is a comment from Renly..
So, will Renly be attending the Oscars tonight?？
The answer is yes.
Because of Graydon's sincerity, because of Andy's sincere request, because of the attendance of Eaton and Andre - Matthew has no interest in Oscar night, and even more because of... Arthur Hall's attendance.
Strictly speaking, the last reason is the most important.
Previously, Andre told Renly that Arthur and Elf seemed to have a dispute, and then Arthur left London and flew directly to Los Angeles and stayed in California for nearly two weeks, but he never made it too high-profile. , more still attending various parties, as if just enjoying a vacation, no different from those days and nights in Sicily.
But Edith immediately appeared in Renly's mind..
Around Christmas, Edith stayed in London for nearly a month, and then left London exhausted and returned to New York..
Intuition told Renly that these two things were directly or indirectly related; even further, they were inextricably linked to Renly, but Renly didn't want to be too narcissistic, nor did he want to speculate, so he Temporarily suppressing all speculations in my heart.
Even aside from other disturbing things, it was interesting to see Arthur in the city of Los Angeles. Renly believed that, just like Andre, Arthur would also like Los Angeles and California. , because there are parties here, there is wine here, there is life here - even though it is not London, it is still worth staying.
So Renly decided to attend Oscar night, in an "Alice in Wonderland" mood.
What's more, at the Oscars ceremony, the brief exchange between Renly and Steven Spielberg failed to get to the point, which also made him a little curious. If he could collaborate with Steven on a work, This is indeed a good idea. Just imagining it in your mind is enough to make people excited..
I had just finished my short vacation in Florida, and it was actually a very interesting thing to re-enter the colorful Vanity Fair and appreciate people's drunkenness and extravagance. After leaving the Dolby Theater, the private car drove all the way along Hollywood Boulevard, slowly Slowly arrived at the Hollywood Hilton Hotel.
This is to attend Oscar night, but it is not just for Oscar night. To be more precise, it is to wash up and change clothes. In order to make their official debut on Oscar night, celebrities from all walks of life also need to change other things. A set of clothes, wash away the fatigue and dust, then reorganize your mood and appear again.
Itinerary for attending an Oscar ceremony: red carpet, award ceremony, backstage celebration, hotel rest and adjustment, Oscar night red carpet, rave party.
During the entire process, an actor needs to change at least two sets of clothes, and top actors even need to change three or even four sets, and may even need to change matching makeup and hairstyle - including actors and actresses.
Especially the rest and adjustment time in the hotel after the awards ceremony. For the losers, this is an important breathing space to adjust their mood, restore their condition, and welcome the Oscar night with a new attitude; it is also an important breathing space for the actresses to re-do their makeup. The key buffer zone that amazes the audience, the competition is fierce, even worse than the Oscar red carpet.
“"Variety" magazine once made an incomplete statistics. The average cost for an actress to attend the Oscar night, from hair to makeup, from nails to costume, inside and outside, top and bottom, costs at least two hundred thousand dollars. This does not include jewelry. And the cost of actors is only slightly lower, because the prices of accessories such as cuffs and watches are relatively not that expensive..
For those 18th-tier actors, assuming the invitation is free, then $50,000 is the minimum standard. This is the biggest party in the United States, and this is also their moment to shine. No one wants to be extremely shabby. appearance, otherwise, even if it is an occasion full of opportunities, you may come away empty-handed..
It’s definitely not a joke to go to the bank and take out a loan just to attend a party, which could lead to bankruptcy..
Therefore, before officially going to the Oscar night party, Renly arrived at the hotel first, washed and rested, changed his clothes, made some adjustments, and then set off again to attend the party. For convenience, Renly chose the Hollywood Hilton Hotel.
This Hilton Hotel is no stranger to Hollywood people. The annual Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is held here. It is only less than ten minutes’ drive to the Sunset Tower Hotel, the venue for Oscar night. In addition to In addition to Renly, there are many actors and industry insiders who have chosen this place as a short stay..
The Sunset Tower Hotel is located on the west side of Hollywood Boulevard. After leaving the Dolby Theater, go straight to the west. After walking through Hollywood Boulevard, you enter Sunset Boulevard. Continue straight, and the end of the road is the Sunset Tower Hotel..
During the golden age of Hollywood, there were countless luxury villas on both sides of Sunset Boulevard, where many top producers, actors, directors, screenwriters and production company bosses gathered. It was the ultimate place of dreams. Later, this bustling Gradually it moved to Beverly Hills, and then further to Malibu, and Sunset Boulevard gradually declined..
1950In 2001, the noir film "Sunset Boulevard" written and directed by a generation of masters vividly and truly recorded the rise and fall of Hollywood and the symbolic significance of Sunset Boulevard. Even now, half a century later, it is still an out-and-out classic in film history..
Today's Sunset Boulevard is still spacious, straight and bright, planted with palm trees, full of sunshine and full of comfort. However, compared with the glory of the golden age, it has gradually declined and gradually evolved into a tourist attraction, full of Intertwined tourists and surging impetuosity.
The Sunset Tower Hotel, located at the west end of Sunset Boulevard, has witnessed the historical process of the all-round rise and rapid soaring of Hollywood commercialization, and has become another historic landmark building above Vanity Fair. Every year on Oscar night are held here, and it has become a place of pilgrimage for many new actors..
After leaving the Hollywood Hilton Hotel, we headed north along Santa Monica Boulevard. Not long after we left, the car had to stop because a huge queue of cars stretched all the way down the steep hillside, leaving the empty and deserted area. The avenue suddenly turned into a parking lot for countless luxury cars, which stretched for more than half a mile. The celebrities who came to attend the party were waiting patiently..
Before arriving at the Sunset Tower Hotel, the long queue can already glimpse the colorful glitz..
About twenty minutes later, we followed the road signs and slowly arrived at the hillside diagonally opposite the Sunset Tower Hotel. Staff members in uniforms immediately came up to us and confirmed the parking number on the dashboard. He then confirmed the passengers in the car, but did not ask for the invitation letter. He smiled at the driver and said, "Welcome to Oscar night.".”
