Hollywood legendary director

"interesting."

"It's so lively."

Thomas and Ryan sat on their seats, like childlike children, looking at the scenery outside the window through the car window, "This is not the first time we have come to the Kodak Theater, but today, it feels unexpected. Very novel."

"Yes." Thomas echoed, "it is the most grand gathering I have ever seen."

The Lincoln car they were sitting on was parked on the side of the road half a street length from Hollywood Boulevard at this time, waiting for relevant planners to arrange entry.

Even though it is a bit far away, the crowds onlookers can already be seen overflowing because of the large number of people, extending from the large open space in front of the Kodak Theater to the streets outside.The surging crowd is indeed very impactful.

Hundreds of spectators danced their hands frantically, hoping to attract the attention of the stars in the cars that have begun to slowly enter.

This is only the periphery, and the Oscar's grand occasion can be called a spot.

"You two are really stupid." Lehman on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and patted the shoulders of the two of them. "Guys, there are more people, and what's so interesting. You are like you, go to the World Cup live. , Wouldn’t the atmosphere be more enthusiastic."

The two did a good job, and Ryan murmured: "It's like I've never been to the World Cup. Do the two feel different? Here, I'm a participant."

Unlike awards such as the Golden Globes and Saturn Awards, Oscars do not sell tickets to the outside world. All tickets are only for the nominees and their relatives and friends.

Lehman has no relatives or friends in the United States. Heath Ledger has returned to Australia. He is not here for the time being. Nicholas Cage, because he himself was invited and can’t use it, but Eva Green is interested and faint. She had hinted that she could be his red carpet companion, but Lyman refused again.Still the same sentence, he didn't want to live under the spotlight, be monitored by everyone in every move, or become other people's gossip because of something.

Therefore, there are only four of them in this group. Compared with the group of relatives and friends brought by other nominees, it is simply pitiful.

After all, if you can enter the scene, the biggest benefit is not only to witness the awards ceremony up close, but also to participate in the Oscar night held by Vanity Fair. That is a good opportunity to take pictures with the big stars-many relatives and friends are here. .

It is a pity that Lehman and others are not available, which seems a bit wasteful.

The car started to start slowly. Obviously, the headset that the driver was wearing in his ears received instructions and it was time for them to enter.

Thomas sat in his seat, breathing slowly and deeply.

Seeing this, Ryan chuckled lightly: "Man, don't tell me you are a little nervous."

"No...no." Thomas tried to retort.But in fact, his palms are a little sweaty. Think about it, he has never walked the red carpet under such a person's attention, and he doesn't know if there is any problem with his costume or outfit.He didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of reporters.

Ryan smiled and didn't tease him with words.

Thomas continued to breathe deeply. Now, this was his only way to relieve his tension.

The car was still moving forward, slowing down.

"Ahhhhh..." The screams were like ocean waves, bursting through the barriers of the car windows and reaching everyone's ears.

The car slowly reached the entrance of the red carpet and stopped steadily.

"Which one of you will follow me?"

Lehman adjusted his tie and sleeves, put his hands on the door, and was about to get out of the car.

"Me." Ryan replied and followed Lyman.

Pushing the door of the car, Lehman took the lead to stand firmly on the ground and look around: I saw the Kodak Theater shrouded in the sunset, with bright lights inside, and a bright red carpet flowing down like a waterfall, which also attracted the attention in front of him. Thousands of sights.

The two sides of the red carpet were crowded with people. Indispensable were the reporters carrying cameras and microphones.

The various shouts and screams coming from the ears made people wonder if the vocal cords of those screaming vigorously would be damaged.

"It's time for us, Ryan." Lehman reminded as the team in front of them entered the interview area.

"Ok."

One after another, the two quickly stepped onto the red carpet.

Facing the flashing blind spotlight, I talked to the host for two more words-the questions asked were normal, and Lehman answered normally.

Then, the two entered the interview area.

"Lyman, Ryan." After the interview, the CAA team, including the agent Johnson and Kevin Hoween, waved to him at the entrance to the ceremony hall of the Kodak Theater.

The two of them walked over and waited until George and Thomas also came over, and moved forward together.

A group of people followed Kevin Hoveen, and chatted with him in various circles: this is CAA showing him well, after all, the cooperation between the two parties is quite happy, and they intend to draw closer relations. Lehman also Not disgusted.After all, every year CAA has customers who are rushing to Austria, but it is rare to be able to be pulled by a partner like Kevin Hoween to introduce various circles of contacts.

"Hi, Lehman." The director of the distribution department of New Line Pictures that I met that day greeted him enthusiastically, "How about it? "Furious" has been off the shelf, are there any new plans... .."

"Lyman, it's nice to meet you." Nicole Kidman, who is the hottest best actress, also greeted her. She is also a CAA customer and has a close relationship with Brian Lord.

"Lyman." Nicholas Cage smiled enthusiastically as he approached.

"Are you okay recently?" Lyman also greeted cordially.

"not bad."

"Furious" has basically been drawn in various markets, and the global gross box office accumulated today is 532 million U.S. dollars. The reason why Nicholas Cage is in a good mood is also derived from this. He played the "sergeant" role in it. Not only was it unanimously praised by film critics, even fans and audiences also bought it, and the performance of the film was so good, the interpretation career dragged down by "The Wind Whisperer" is again on the rise.

The two have a very good friendship, and they look at each other very pleasingly. They are more chatty, but at this moment, when this kind of occasion is not a deep chat, the two exchanged a few more words and then separated .

Lehman, who has been in the circle for two years, is not what he used to be. At this Oscar, he was accompanied by CAA's Kevin. He felt that he was particularly busy.

It seemed that all the people who knew him or who knew him intentionally gathered to greet him, their faces were stiff, and their legs were a little sore. It was finally time for admission.

Sitting comfortably on the big red sofa seat, Lehmann felt better.

The seats for the awards ceremony are arranged according to the department, with one for the actor nominees, one for the director nominees, and so on.

Naturally, Lyman is sitting in the forefront of the director's area. To put it in more detail, he is sitting with several directors nominated for best foreign language films, as well as mutual competitors.

Among these director nominees, Lehman may not be ranked higher than his professional qualifications, but he is undoubtedly a clear winner.

No way, after the release of "Furious", his fame rose in terror.

Moreover, it is a joke that commercial directors are more popular than art directors.

Soon, with the sound of music, the big screen on the stage went dark-the award ceremony was about to begin.

The Oscars are not as simple as the Golden Globes. The process is obviously relatively small, but they like to play puzzles and set the atmosphere, so the awards are very slow.

Lehman also sat downright from the beginning and became more casual.

To be honest, he is a little hungry now.

The waiting time of a few hours, plus the time left for awards and acceptance speeches, that is to say, after eating at noon, until now at 9 pm, a full eight hours have passed. His stomach It was empty long ago, and he worked hard--he understood that the Oscar award ceremony might be a carnival of the media and movie fans, but it was indeed the torture of these award-winning guests.

In this respect, the female stars are a bit worse than their big men. After all, what do you think is that it is undoubtedly extremely troublesome for them to put on and take off those gorgeous dresses. Then go to the bathroom halfway. , I guess I dare not do it, so I can only endure it with my body.

Zizi...If you continue at this speed, it is estimated that you will have to hold back for a long time.Pathetic.

Lehman, who had just been to the bathroom, sat bored on his seat, his eyes blank but kept his gaze projected onto the stage.

The host still teases the stars present from time to time, and maintains the atmosphere of awards with eloquence.

Technology awards, lifetime achievement awards, performances, speeches, introductions to the best films...

Lyman looked back at Ryan and the others, and found that he had closed his eyes and rested long ago, and Thomas also looked quite devoid of energy, but George still gave Oscar respect and was very focused.

Take a look at the producer area, every producer is a drag on his family, it's so lively.

It's a pity that the live-streaming camera footage is rarely placed in the last few rows of seats, and with them staring, Lehman doesn't dare to do too much-a little basic respect is still to be given.

The next awards still seemed calm, there were no upsets, and they were all within the expectations of everyone in the know.

Nicole Kidman successfully won this year’s Oscar for her excellent performance in "The Moment"; the best picture went to Miramax’s "Chicago"; "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" Won several technical awards, the mainstream awards were not collected; the best actor was won by Adrian Brody of "The Pianist", well, he is also Jewish; the best actor Chris Cooper; Best Actress Catherine Zeta Jones; Best Adapted Screenplay "The Pianist"; Best Animated Feature Film "Spirited Away"; Best Documentary Film "Columbine Campus Events"...
