Greg Carter has been in charge of the chief editor of Vanity Fair for 20 years. Even Michael Eisner, who is known as the king of Disney, has retired from the stage of history. However, Greg Carter's position is still stable. More importantly, the position of Vanity Fair in the industry has been steadily improving.
This skill and wisdom is very important.
This time, in order to invite Langley to attend the Oscars night, grayden spent half a year preparing and brewing, as if he was just making friends. He never revealed his intention. It was only after the official announcement of the Oscar nomination list that he mentioned it to Roy for the third time and to Langley directly for the first time, Ask about Langley's intention to attend the Oscar night.
After the "drunken folk" was finished, grayden himself arrived in New York and sent the invitation to Roy. At that time, no one was able to find him. In the end, Matthew Dunlop took the invitation instead of Langley, because Roy could not change Langley's idea, but Matthew could.
What's interesting is that Graydon prepared an invitation letter early and sent it to Matthew. Because Matthew is a top lawyer, a hereditary aristocrat, and a close friend of lanli, grayden has prepared two letters of invitation that others have been dreaming of.
As for Roy, Nathan and Andy, they can enter the party together as fellow travelers of Langley.
Later Matthew learned that Eaton domer and Andre Hamilton also received the invitation. What does that mean? This means that greyden has great powers. He not only inquires into the context of lenley's friends, but also carefully controls his discretion. He only invites those who have direct or indirect contact with Hollywood. More importantly, he uses his friends' momentum to promote lenley's willingness to attend.
Cleverly, grayden never really expressed his request, nor did he really solemnly ask for it. After all the clues and details were laid out, he quietly waited for the effect to ferment. In other words, it is not in the way of work, but in the way of personal contact, which weakens the strong influence of Oscar night as much as possible, as if it is just inviting Langley to a private party. This is the real smart place.
This way of doing things is not only a good public relations person, but also an old upper class person. Greyden clearly knows that nobles will not easily compromise and nod their heads. Glory and dignity are their most important characteristics. Reserve and introvert are undoubtedly the normal way of communication. Only in an appropriate way can they win the right to talk with them on an equal footing.
Even if Matthew doesn't like grayden very much - because there are many roles in London, he still has to admit that grayden is very smart and wise. "If he and Arthur meet, they should be able to find a lot of common problems." This is a comment from Langley.
So, will Langley be at the Oscars tonight?
The answer is yes.
Because of gladen's sincerity, because of Andy's sincere request, because of the presence of Eaton and Andre - Matthew didn't have any interest in Oscar night, but also because of the presence of... Arthur hall.
Strictly speaking, the last reason is the most important.
Before, Andre told Langley that Arthur and alf seemed to have a dispute. Then Arthur left London and flew directly to Los Angeles. He stayed in California for nearly two weeks, but he didn't have a high profile. He was still attending parties, as if he was just enjoying a vacation, It's the same day and night in Sicily.
But in blue Li's mind actually immediately came up with Edith.
Around Christmas, Edith stayed in London for nearly a month, then left London exhausted and returned to New York.
Intuition tells him that these two things are directly or indirectly related; Even further, it is closely related to Lan Li, but Lan Li doesn't want to be too narcissistic, and doesn't want to speculate, so he temporarily suppresses all the speculation in his heart.
It's interesting to see Arthur in the city of Los Angeles, even apart from other things. Langley believes that, just like Andre, Arthur will like Los Angeles and California, because there are parties, wine and life - although it's not London, it's still worth staying.
So, lanli decided to attend the Oscar night, with a "Alice in Wonderland" mood.
What's more, Lanley's brief communication with Steven Spielberg at the Oscars ceremony has not been able to cut into the theme, which makes him curious. If he can work with Steven, it's really a good idea. Just imagine it in the brain, it's enough to make people excited.
Just after a short vacation in Florida, it's a very interesting thing to re-enter the colorful vanity fair and enjoy people's drunkenness. After leaving the Dolby theater, the private car drove all the way along Hollywood Avenue and slowly came to the Hollywood Hilton Hotel.
It's for Oscars night, but it's not just for Oscars night. To be more precise, it's for washing and dressing. For the official debut of Oscar night, celebrities from all walks of life also need to change another set of clothes, wash away fatigue and dust, and then re organize their mood to appear again.
The itinerary of attending an Oscar ceremony: red carpet, award ceremony, backstage celebration, hotel rest adjustment, Oscar night, red carpet, Carnival Party.
In the whole process, an actor needs to change at least two sets of clothes, while the top actors even need to change three or four sets, and may even need to change matching makeup and hairstyle - including actors and actresses.
Especially after the award ceremony, the hotel rest adjustment time is an important breathing space for the losers to adjust their mood, recover their state and welcome the Oscar night with a new attitude; At the same time, it is also the key buffer zone for the actresses to re dress and surprise the audience. The fierce competition is better than that of the Oscar red carpet.
"Variety" magazine once did an incomplete statistics, the average cost of an actress attending the Oscar night, from hair to makeup, from nails to clothing, inside and outside, up and down, at least 200000 US dollars, not including jewelry. And the cost of actors is only slightly lower, because the price of accessories such as cuffs and watches is relatively less expensive.
For those 18 line actors, assuming that the invitation is free, then $50000 is the minimum standard. This is the biggest party in the United States, and it's also a time for them to shine in the audience. No one wants to appear in an extremely humble manner, otherwise, even an occasion full of opportunities, they may return empty handed.
It's no joke to go to the bank to get a loan or even lose money for a party.
So, before going to the Oscar night party, lanli first arrived at the hotel, took a rest, changed his clothes, made some adjustments, and then set out again to attend the party. For convenience, Langley chose the Hollywood Hilton Hotel.
This Hilton Hotel is no stranger to Hollywood people. Every year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held here. It's only a ten minute drive to the Sunset Tower Hotel, where the Oscar night is held. In addition to lanli, many actors and people in the industry have chosen this place for a short stay.
The Sunset Tower Hotel is located on the west side of Hollywood Avenue. After leaving the Dolby theater, it goes straight to the West. After walking Hollywood Avenue, it enters Sunset Avenue and goes straight. The end of the road is the Sunset Tower Hotel.
In the golden age of Hollywood, there are countless luxury villas on both sides of Sunset Boulevard, gathering many top producers, actors, directors, screenwriters and production company owners. It can be said that it is the ultimate place of dreams. Later, the prosperity gradually moved to Beverly Hills, and then to Malibu, Sunset Boulevard also gradually declined.
In 1950, the black 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 half a century later, it is still a classic in film history.
Today's Sunset Boulevard is still spacious, still straight, still bright, planted with palm trees, full of sunshine, full of comfort, but compared with the glory of the golden age, it has gradually failed, and gradually evolved into a tourist resort, 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 Hollywood's full-scale rise of commercialization and rapid growth. It has become another landmark of historical significance on this Vanity Fair. Every year's Oscar night is held here, and it has become a pilgrimage place for many new actors.
After leaving the Hollywood Hilton Hotel, I went northward along Santa Monica Avenue. After only a short time, the car had to stop. Because the vast traffic extended all the way down the steep hillside, the open and cold Avenue suddenly became a parking lot for countless luxury cars, which densely extended more than half a mile, The celebrities who came to the party were waiting patiently.
Before arriving at the Sunset Tower Hotel, the dragon can already see the colorful glitz.
About 20 minutes later, following the guide of the road sign, we slowly came to the hillside opposite the Sunset Tower Hotel. The uniform staff immediately met us, confirmed the parking permit on the dashboard, and then confirmed the passengers in the car. But they didn't ask for the invitation. They said to the driver with a smile, "welcome to Oscar night."
