884 shining stars
Tonight's awards ceremony was really lively, with more and more spectators arriving one after another. At 3:30, the main committee officially blocked the streets, with Hollywood Boulevard as the center, two streets in the east, west, north and south, completely banning vehicles. Passage is allowed, and crowds are also prohibited from entering in the direction near Highland North Street..
Even so, more than 4,500 people had gathered near the entire scene; just on Highland North Street alone, nearly 2,000 spectators were packed to the brim, making it so crowded that it was almost suffocating. .This is only what is visible to the naked eye. In various buildings, in underground parking lots, and in street bars, there are probably more enthusiastic spectators watching nearby..
Is this a history-making night? Maybe, maybe not; is this the night of the showdown? Certainly not; is this a starry, starry night? It must be. Then, the atmosphere detonated and the heat wave ignited.
West Coast time, 4 p.m.; East Coast time, 7 p.m. The red carpet of the 84th Academy Awards officially kicked off！
There is no doubt that tonight is indeed full of big names and great shows.！
Tina-Fey, who was the first to appear, became the opening guest of tonight's feast and was the first to walk on the red carpet..
This comedy talent has blossomed and risen in many aspects such as screenwriting, actor, production and hosting this year. She has successively occupied a place with "Saturday Night Live" and "3D Comedy", and she is widely known and widely praised. After the welcome came on stage, it successfully triggered a burst of screams and cheers; not only the audience, but even the reporters couldn’t wait to press the shutter and exclaimed.
Without any preheating, the atmosphere at the scene started to boil..
After that, familiar faces such as Sean Bean, Penelope Cruz, James Cormawell, and Rose Byrne appeared on the stage, and the shouts were endless, just red At the beginning of the first half of the carpet, the Kodak Theater was already feeling the heat of the frenzy..
When George Clooney made his debut, Oscar ushered in the first climax of the night! The shouts of mountains and tsunamis were released overwhelmingly, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to its peak..
Everyone knows that the choice of evening dress for the guests attending the event is a life-and-death battlefield. Rumor has it that for an actress to attend the Oscars, the dress fee of US$100,000 is just the minimum standard. For those second-tier actresses, For third-tier actresses, even if they are invited, this investment is still a heavy burden..
But in fact, at the Oscars, the red carpet appearance time is also very particular. It can be called an invisible war..
Generally speaking, the second half is better than the first half, and the middle period is better than the first and last periods. The so-called finale and highlight are not the last moments, but the fifteen or twenty minutes before the red carpet is about to end. And so on..
As the most important film event in the United States and even the world, every guest attending the Oscars has a background, and there are countless top celebrities. During the 90-minute red carpet, you may witness one every five to ten minutes on average. The appearance of the superstar is dazzling and overwhelming.
Therefore, the order in which artists and artists appear is very particular. Before the awards ceremony, the artists' public relations and managers will constantly exchange information. In addition to discussing with the host committee, they will also complete the work in private. Communicate and confirm the appearance time of your artist.
Specifically, it can be accurate to the ten-minute range.
For example, if you choose to appear after George Clooney, your star will be dimmed and no one will pay attention to you. If you are unlucky, not to mention TV interviews, even on-site interviews and photo shooting time will be further compressed, and it will be as if you appear on stage. Didn't even exist half of it.
For another example, it is impossible for Jennifer Aniston to appear within thirty minutes of the appearance of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Not only does it avoid interview questions, but it also Will try to avoid any form of sharing the same frame.
For example, if invited singers, TV actors, or models take the stage during the relatively idle period of the first half, they can actually attract more attention..
Tonight, Chinese actress Li Bing/Bing starred in "The Secret Fan", which was distributed by Fox Searchlight; and then got connected with Harvey Weinstein, so she was able to attend the Oscars, so she chose James Cromwell. In the period after the couple's appearance, they took advantage of the opening before it became completely lively and murdered a lot of films..
The peaceful and joyful appearance is actually full of undercurrents and competition for beauty, not just the evening gowns of the female artists, not just the luxury cars that appear on the stage, not just the time of the appearance, but even the location of the photo area and the questions asked by reporters. , every detail and every link is the focus of overt and covert struggles..
This is the Oscar. Not the Golden Globes, not the Emmys, not the Grammys; not Toronto, not Berlin, not Cannes... but the Oscars, the unique and highly anticipated Oscars..
Although Renly has never attended the Oscars before, and today is the first time, he is not unfamiliar at all. This is the case with London's upper class, as if Arthur specially made an appointment with Renly to inform the Halls of their appearance time. , and then asked Renly to take the initiative to avoid it. This is actually the same reason..
The difference is that the public relations and management of the upper class are cleverly hidden under the glamorous skin; while the calculations and battles of Hollywood are fully exposed under the spotlight..
However, all of this has also made Oscar a vanity fair that countless people are flocking to. The real center of attention.！
Hope was tapping on the railing anxiously, looking around from time to time, like a little flea, unable to settle down even for three seconds..
William and Graham, who were standing aside, exchanged glances with helplessness in their eyes, "Hope, you should calm down. Renly will attend. Didn't Andy say that during the interview? Renly will definitely attend this year. It’s just a matter of time that someone will attend the award ceremony..”
“Yes, it’s a matter of time! "After Hope shouted, he realized that he had lost control. He quickly suppressed his voice and said in a low voice, "Why hasn't Renly shown up yet? The red carpet is already halfway over! But now there is still no movement at all. I just saw a large group of colorful bees.！”
The vivid expression made everyone around him burst into laughter. Hope also shrugged and said innocently, "I'm just stating the facts. I don't mean to target anyone." Then he looked up to the sky and sighed. , "Jesus Christ, when will Renly show up? Do you think he will simply be absent?"？”
Above the crystal clear sky, the setting sun is still burning vigorously. There is still a long time before night falls, but the process of the red carpet is advancing in an orderly manner..
Rooney Mara is here, Jessica Chastain is here, Melissa McCarthy is here, Wim Wenders is here, Steven Spielberg is here, Emma Stone is here, Robert Downey Jr. is here, Gwyneth Paltrow is here, Michelle Williams is here……
This list can still be counted endlessly. The climax comes one after another, in full swing and intoxication. The entire Kodak Theater has fallen into madness. The people watching on both sides, and the reporters interviewing on both sides, Every face of the team filming on the red carpet, as well as the artists themselves, were filled with joy and excitement. Against the beautiful orange sunset, the light of happiness bloomed, making people involuntarily think. Just wander around and enjoy it.
But Renly still didn't show up.
According to the practice of other award ceremonies in the past, Renly tended to appear in the first half, avoiding the noise and attention of the second half as much as possible, and walked through the red carpet low-key and gracefully to complete his debut. But today, in the first half, The game was over, and a short while had passed in the second half. Hope still didn't see Renly, and she couldn't help but feel anxious..
“If Renly can see it, that would be great; but even if he can't see it, we will show it to reporters and show it to everyone. I believe Renly will feel our sincerity and sincerity." William shook his head. He clenched his fists and cheered, he was convincing Hope, and he was also convincing himself..
At this moment, a burst of crazy screams and shouts suddenly came from the end of Highland North Street. The out-of-control noise and noise interrupted Hope and William's conversation, and they also reflexively surrendered. Out of sight: Could it be that Renly appeared?？
Under the focus and attention of countless eyes, the black limousine slowly drove by. Hope drooped his shoulders in disappointment. Amidst the piercing screams and crazy roars, Hope showed no shame in his disappointment, which made everyone stand. Tessa on the side laughed, "Brad Pitt will definitely be sad if he sees it.".”
Now arriving at the scene, it is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. This couple has become the most powerful couple in Hollywood, and every move can stir up turmoil. At tonight's Oscars, Brad De will once again compete for the two statuettes of Best Actor and Best Picture - "Moneyball" and "The Tree of Life", both of which he served as producer..
There is no doubt that Brad and Angelina's double appearance created the craziest and hottest cheers tonight..
But Hope was absent-minded and didn't buy it at all. He let out a long breath and said, "I guess Renly will have to wait a little longer." Brad has just appeared on the stage and is in the limelight. No matter who appears next, he will definitely be disappointed. No light. It is conceivable that Renly’s appearance order will be later and later..
Waiting is always painful.
Hope pouted in annoyance, with "unhappiness" written all over her face. She looked boredly at the next limousine that arrived at the scene, cursing in her heart: Which unlucky guy actually followed the first couple in Hollywood? Appear behind the scenes.
Then Hope saw Renly.
