"Lan Li, are you listening?" In front of blue Li bathed in the bright orange sun outside the window, some trance, Andy had to temporarily his words, voice asked.
Lan Li lowered his eyes and said with a smile, "yes, I'm listening. You said, "don't give me too much hope tonight, just relax and go to a party, and then enjoy the evening." Blue Li turns to see Andy one eye, cast the eyes of verification.
Andy nodded in the affirmative. "What are you looking at? So how can I be distracted? "
"Sunshine. The sunset in Los Angeles has a special orange color, which is very different from that in New York. " Lanli's eyes once again turned to the window. The afternoon sun was lazily burning in the sky. The bright and warm orange color dyed the sky into a wonderful color all day long. At this moment, the night in New York City has covered the earth tightly. I can imagine the appearance of the dark blue falling slowly in my mind.
The time difference of three hours makes the two cities on both sides of the East and the West take on a totally different look, which is also the reason why the time of every live award ceremony in the United States is particularly wonderful.
Generally speaking, the red carpet starts at 8:00 p.m. on the east bank, or even earlier. After the four hour award ceremony, it's already past midnight, which is an important reason why Oscars are criticized for being too lengthy every year; Then, in the West Bank, around 5 pm, the awarding ceremony has already begun. After the event, the night of all the stars has just begun - the celebration banquet and Carnival Party are in full swing under the cover of the night.
Tonight, the 62nd Emmy Awards kicked off at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Lanli and Andy arrived in the city of angels by plane the day before yesterday to attend the first award ceremony of lanli's acting career.
"Don't you think it's wonderful? When dinner begins in New York, the awards ceremony begins here in Los Angeles. " The smile at the corner of lanli's mouth gently outlined, "I'm starting to worry now. I'm hungry in the middle of the award ceremony. What should I do?" Traditionally, the awards ceremony usually ends around 9 o'clock - Los Angeles time, and dinner is over for most people.
Andy can't help smiling. Sometimes lanli is mature and experienced; But sometimes Lan Li is just like a rookie, always keeping a strong curiosity and vitality. Just when Andy thinks he knows more about Langley, there will be a new surprise.
"When you enter the venue, you will see a buffet table backstage. Although it's just some desserts, bread, salad and so on, you can choose some food to pad your stomach as long as you feel unwell." Andy kindly explained, "the most correct choice is to choose a piece of dark chocolate before entering the arena, which can replenish a little energy at any time without too much confusion."
"Aha." "I thought everyone was using whisky or brandy to satisfy their hunger," he said That's what the nobility's party is like.
Andy thought it was a joke, so he laughed. Looking at the sunset falling gently on Lan Li's shoulder, his facial features were so blurred in the halo that he could not see clearly. He could only vaguely see a line of chin and shoulder, a pasted shirt and a decent suit, which carved out the elegance of time. Although he knew little about suits and fashion, he had to admit it, The suit seems to be tailor-made for Langley, and Andy can't help recalling his visit to Melvin brades last week.
Compared with Melvin, who fled to the second floor to hide, Langley kept the manners of a gentleman until the last moment. The irony once again stabbed Melvin. Although Melvin could not see it, the blonde's face was full of embarrassment and panic. Andy could easily describe Melvin's face of shame, It's really amusing.
On that day, instead of looking for a second stylist, they went back to Fifth Avenue and bought a suit at Burberry's flagship store. Lanley finished the selection himself.
"You know suit very well?" Andy asks curiously.
Lanli said with a smile, "it's just basic information." This is the truth. All the custom-made suits are made by professional tailors. He is only responsible for wearing them, which is far from understanding or professional.
Andy thinks it's a very interesting thing. At ordinary times, most of lanli's clothes are casual, and even have some street style; But after changing the suit, the whole person's temperament and demeanor have changed, as if this is the real lanli, everything is so natural.
It can be seen that there is more to be found in lanli. Maybe, tonight is a good platform - rookie first appeared on the grand Emmy award ceremony, first really bathed in the spotlight, first became the focus of attention of the reporter lens, this time and the "Pacific War" premiere specifications are very different, I don't know how the performance of lenley will be.
Andy can't help looking forward to it.
Just a few blocks away from Staples Center, Andy knows that it's not far from the Nokia Theater. "Don't be too nervous." He said, "it's the first half of the red carpet now. There won't be any big names on the scene. Moreover, the lineup of the TV series tonight is very large, and the focus won't be on one person for too long. So, just relax as much as possible."
Because of the huge number of staff in the TV drama industry, the Emmy Awards are the largest among the four major award ceremonies in terms of the number of participants, which is why they chose Nokia Theater to hold the award ceremony - it can accommodate 6500 people, and the number of seats is twice that of Kodak Theater.
In addition, the supporting role base of TV series is extremely large, and there are many actors who can be named, but not more. So, the whole red carpet will be very busy.
"When do you get to the red carpet?" Lenley was a little curious. He didn't have an agent for the premiere of the last "Pacific War". He just chose a random time to attend; But now it seems that the red carpet time is not so simple. Do they have a choice of playing time today?
Andy chuckled, as if amused by the question, "of course. The real big names will basically be present a little later in the middle of the second half, because at that time the audience will reach the peak, and it will not fall into the garbage time of the tail. Moreover, there are too many big names in such an award ceremony, and no one wants to crash or share their own focus. Therefore, the brokers will communicate with each other, and the organizers will also communicate with each other, so as to disperse the appearance time as much as possible“
Lan Li thought for a while and put forward a conjecture, "does someone deliberately arrange to appear on the stage at the same time, just to see each other off?"“
Andy said nothing, no affirmation, no negation, but pointed straight ahead, "here we are“
Turning around, you can see a building decorated with glass walls on the front. The exterior style doesn't seem to have many characteristics. It continues the simple, generous and clean lines of northern Europe. If you drive by, you won't pay special attention to it. The blue "Nokia" signboard on the top of the lake highlights the origin of the building's style.
At this time, the lights at the entrance of the theater were bright, and the light yellow lights and the orange sunset reflected each other. The whole world was too bright, so that the boiling sea of people in front of us was shrouded in a shadow, and spread in a mighty way. We could not see the end, and we could not see the number clearly. Even if it was tens of thousands, it was no exaggeration.
The square in front of the gate has been completely filled, and the surging crowd extends all the way to the highway. At this time, the main street has also been blocked. The bustling crowd cheers, shouts and screams in the direction of the light. The surging tide rises under the burning sunset, It's as if the flames of the sky above the sky are ignited from here. The magnificent heat wave comes, the heat of midsummer is awakened again, and even the air begins to boil.
The roar penetrated the window and hit the eardrum heavily. The blood began to accelerate slowly. Every beat of the heart was so powerful that the thin adrenaline began to dry the throat.
Langley had to adjust his breathing. This time it was obviously different. If we say that the last Premiere of the "Pacific War" was more ignorant and at a loss, with a kind of Alice's curiosity and exploration in Wonderland; Then this time, you can really feel the heat and boiling of vanity fair. The tension can't be controlled. The blood seems to have turned into gasoline, which can be ignited with a little spark.
Until now, the sense of reality hit Langley's chest: here is the Emmy, and he is going to attend the Emmy award ceremony as a nominator. This idea was suddenly magnified countless times, from Fischer Morgan told the news to now, has not appeared the reality, finally sharp and ferocious attack.
Tonight, he will compete with Al Pacino, Jeff Bridges, Ian McLean and others.
It's a real surprise, isn't it?
The smile at the corner of his mouth rose gently and straightened up. He was ready to walk into the hot spotlight.
"Langley, if you don't understand anything, you can ask rose Byrne, who is also my actress and will attend the award ceremony tonight." Andy makes a final explanation in his ear, then pats him on the shoulder and gives him a thumbs up, "man, go conquer Hollywood!"
The smile bloomed in the corner of lanli's mouth. Without any hesitation, he pushed the door open directly.
