Chapter 1200

There is no doubt that Oscar night is a top-level feast, even a gilded party.

For the top celebrities, it's like being in the limelight and spotlight; For other classes, it is an important occasion for them to keep climbing up to the top of the pyramid. Opportunities are everywhere, only for those who are prepared. As a result, this party has become the focus of countless people.

That's what greyden Carter wanted, and obviously he succeeded.

In 2001, Toby young, a British writer, published a memoir style personal novel, "how to betray one another", which tells the story of his five years' experience and memories of working in Vanity Fair magazine. A lot of his works focus on the flashiness and luxury of Oscar night, which is eye opening.

In 2008, the novel was adapted into a movie of the same name, starring Simon page and Megan Fox. Although the quality of the finished product is not satisfactory, it still becomes a window for the ordinary audience to glimpse the secrets of the vanity fair and the life behind the scenes under the Hollywood lights.

Although everyone knows that this is bound to dilute and then dilute the story, it is still exciting.

For Langley, the invitation to Oscar night was never a problem. At the beginning, after the birth of the "Pacific War", perhaps the qualification of the invitation letter has yet to be discussed; But then he received the "buried alive" Oscar nomination, and naturally received an invitation.

But the real problem is that this top party has no attraction or discussion value for Langley.

When he was in London before, Langley had been used to too many Vanity Fair parties, which was Arthur's work and ability; He spent countless efforts to escape from the vanity fair in London and devote himself to the world of actors. Now, he has no interest in such parties.

In the past two years, Langley has never attended the Oscar night. Even after winning the Oscar last year, Langley is still absent, even running away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.

For vanity fair, this is really a headache.

It's no exaggeration to say that Oscar night is full of stars and will never be overshadowed by the lack of any actor. In Hollywood, there is no lack of anything, that is, there is no lack of stars; But lanli's absence is a great regret, almost everyone can clearly feel the obvious vacancy.

Although there are more than 1000 guests in front and behind on the Oscar night, which makes people dazzled, even greyden himself can't notice the attendance of every guest. It's very difficult to notice the absence of any actor in his hair.

It's not about aura, it's about crowds.

So, why does the presence of lanli bother Vanity Fair?

Before formally answering this question, we need to know the answer to another question, "Langley hall". What does the name mean?

North America's 500 million box office winner, five consecutive works unbeaten, the youngest golden man winner in film history, the representative of the new generation of acting skills, and professional skills have won widespread praise... There are countless labels in my mind, but Greg Carter thinks that these labels are not important, because there are not many qualified actors in Hollywood.

There's only one answer: hereditary aristocracy.

Last summer, "empire" magazine revealed the secret of lanli's family, which caused a tsunami of discussion on the Internet.

Objectively speaking, ordinary people can't really understand the influence of this secret. After surprise and dismay, discussion and heated discussion, they gradually recover, because hereditary nobles are too far away and too strange for them. Most importantly, they can't feel any specific influence except for a title, Attention naturally cools down.

But the aftermath of Hollywood's vanity fair is far beyond imagination.

For these people, they have money, status and power. The only thing they lack is reputation and glory.

The former can be obtained through charity; The latter can only be achieved through the real royal family, and now only Britain is left to inherit the weight of the royal family - other countries such as Belgium, Sweden and so on still retain the royal family, but their influence and status have been completely different.

In other words, even Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein and James Cameron, the top leaders in the industry, have to deal well with the British royal family if they want to have this honor.

For ordinary people, such glory has no practical significance; For vanity fair, such glory is the pursuit of his whole life.

Of course, if, like David Lynch and Woody Allen, they despise these glories, they can face such temptations with ease; The problem is that only a few people in the whole Vanity Fair can reach such a state.

This has always been the case. It has never changed. More accurately, it is not just the top people in Hollywood, wall street or silicon valley, or in politics or academia. They stand outside the siege and look forward to the scene inside; Standing at the top of the pyramid, he began to imagine the world beyond the sky.

Now, after revealing the secret, a real hereditary aristocrat has appeared in Hollywood, even if it is just a baron. But this is the first time for the whole industry. It's like a rare treasure has finally appeared around. Its influence is absolutely incalculable.

On the one hand, this is the goal that all people dream of. Now some people around us have really realized it. Apart from being shocked, admiration and yearning begin to stir up. Naturally, they look at each other with new eyes.

On the other hand, it's also the closest moment for all people to get to the aristocracy. If - just if, you can connect with the British royal family and even get to know more aristocrats through blue rite, is this a dream come true? After all, what they dream of is not just a title of nobility, but to enter the real upper class and complete the transformation through this title.

Why didn't Eddie Redman, Tom sidleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Edward Norton and Rooney Marla cause chain effect after they entered Hollywood?

That's why. They are not aristocrats with a long history of inheritance, they can not enter the high-end top aristocratic class, they do not have the heritage and depth of historical precipitation and inheritance. So, people treat them just like Sophia Coppola, or the rich second generation on Wall Street.

Langley hall, that's the real number one.

To exaggerate a little bit, the emergence of lanli can be said to be the first step for the noble to break the shackles and walk down the world. The boundary between the common people and the noble has really disappeared in the rapid development of social civilization. Of course, lanli is definitely not the first aristocrat to become an actor, but the previous actors have not been able to achieve such success, so the degree of attention is naturally different.

So why is the hall family so opposed? Why did Langley need to come to New York? Why is Almeida's performance such a wave? Why is empire so influential? Why is vanity fair's answer so interesting? And why is Langley's absence so important for Oscar night? Why does Graydon attach so much importance to the presence of Langley?

All the questions can find their corresponding answers in the same answer.

For most people, it's an honor to receive the Oscar night invitation; But for Langley, it's an honor for vanity fair to invite him to the Oscars night.

Graydon knows that, and Hollywood knows it.

As a matter of fact, when "les miserables" was still on Broadway tour, grayden personally arrived on Broadway, spent a lot of money to reserve a box, appeared for a week in a row, and invited a large number of celebrities to come to the show. During this period, he met with Langley once, formally said hello, and released a positive and friendly signal.

Since taking charge of Vanity Fair in 1991, grayden has never wavered in his position as editor in chief. For 20 years, he has brought this magazine to the top and become one of the most profitable media in North America. Even after the millennium, they are still the best selling paper magazines in the Internet age, More than entertainment weekly and American weekly.

As an industry leader, grayden's sense of smell and judgment is absolutely extraordinary.

However, during Broadway, grayden never showed too much enthusiasm and intention, or even deliberately emphasized his identity. He was just a general friend. Since then, grayden has maintained close contact with Andy Rogers and Roy rockery, and the launching ceremony of "gravity" and "drunken folk" and so on, Greyden sent gifts in private.

In the middle of November, the filming of "gravity" is in full swing. It's the first time that Graydon mentioned Andy's plan for Oscar night and asked about Langley's intention to attend; At that time, Andy just said that it was still early, and we still need to see the itinerary and direction of the award season in the future.

At that time, "detachment" had gradually declined, and no one was optimistic about the Oscar prospects of this work. But Graydon didn't care. After that, he kept in touch with Andy and Roy. It was only on the eve of the Golden Globe Awards that he formally mentioned the Oscar night for the second time and issued an invitation. He strongly expressed his hope that Langley could attend tonight.

In other words, it took him half a year to prepare and prepare. In order to invite Langley to attend the Oscars night, grayden made a lot of efforts.
