"Welcome to Oscar night."
The car stops slowly. It seems that the Sunset Tower Hotel is still hundreds of yards away, but it has become a parking lot outside the window. All kinds of luxury cars are displayed in front of us like museums, just like "guessing trains". Sitting in the car "guessing luxury cars" should also be a good pastime.
Before getting out of the car or getting out of the car, Vanity Fair creates a flashy atmosphere, which makes people can't help wandering in it. In other words, standing outside the besieged city and imagining the image inside the besieged city, a flash of light satisfies the illusion of all the onlookers.
Tonight, lanli's car is just a low-key and introverted Bentley. The blue streamlined body is shining in the night, but it is completely submerged in countless luxury cars.
The staff standing at the front of the car turned around and waved to the back. Then another staff member quickly ran over and gave a bright smile to the driver, "please give the car to our staff, we will park the car for you, and the driver will have a special rest space."
Following the instructions, the group opened the door and got off one after another.
Nathan's eyes showed a curious look. He carefully inquired about the scene around him. He was not sure how to express his feelings. Then Andy, who was standing next to him, patted Nathan on the shoulder. "This is the first step of differential treatment, although everyone said that class no longer exists, But tonight's party is to let people deeply feel that the privilege brought by class is real from every aspect and detail. "
The colors of parking permits are different. Different colors enjoy different levels of service, which shows the level differentiation of Vanity Fair incisively and vividly. Obviously, lanli's parking permit is the top type.
Next, another staff member came with a golf cart and drove them from the traffic control entrance of the small slope to the entrance of the Sunset Tower Hotel.
On the road, we can also see that a small number of people drive directly to the parking lot, and then trek from the parking lot to the main gate to enter the party; A small number of people drive to the photo area, stop a hundred yards away from the photo area, and then walk on foot - so it's normal for people to take a taxi to the party.
From a distance, you can see two rows of security personnel in black suits standing at the gate of the Sunset Tower Hotel, and then extending along the West and east sides, creating a large red carpet area. Besides the control area, you can also see many fans gathering, cheering and shouting frantically.
The golf cart stopped steadily on the red carpet, and lanli and his party arrived at their destination without any effort.
After buttoning his suit, Langley noticed the cheers and screams. He gave a smile to the audience, waved his hand, and then caused a lot of uncontrollable screams. Compared with the Oscar red carpet, there seems to be less reserve, more madness, that kind of bubbling noise, People can't help but start to get excited.
Lanli didn't rush forward. Although the shadow of enthusiastic fans is no longer obvious, lanli has gradually understood that if he acts rashly, it is easy to cause stampede and push accidents. For safety reasons, his behavior must be more cautious.
Langley looked back at Roy and asked, "can you come and say hello to them?"
Roy shook his head and dutifully advised, "better not. It's not officially organized, and order is prone to chaos. Just stand here and say hello. " The real protagonists of Oscar night are the main characters of the party, not journalists or audiences, so the focus of the whole organization is different.
Lan Li nodded his head slightly to show his understanding. He nodded to the fans again. Unexpectedly, he noticed that an audience was raising the camera and trying to take pictures. Lan Li stopped when he was about to leave, and made a gesture. After confirming that the other party pressed the flashing light, he picked the eyebrow tail and asked in an isolated voice, "is that ok?"
A small move suddenly made the audience so excited that they couldn't help nodding, but they couldn't say a word. Then they thumbed up at Lan Li, covered their mouths, and could hardly control their emotions. The shrieks on the side were even more frequent.
This made Lan Li dumbfounded and laughed. He nodded for the third time. This time, he really stepped forward and walked towards the entrance.
The photo area and interview area at the gate were already overcrowded, with more than 40 reporters in the big space——
It seems that the number is small, but only one car can be parked at the entrance of the Sunset Tower Hotel. The space is too narrow to accommodate more journalists. What's more, those top journalists have also been invited to enter. Now the journalists who stay outside are just some official news. Even the news media know that in the dark corner of vanity fair, it is better to keep some things unknown.
In the narrow area, even if the reporters stand face to face, the airtight crowd makes people feel difficult to breathe. Just watching, they feel that they can't breathe.
Langley's steps stop, while Andy, Roy and Nathan move straight towards the gate.
Tonight, the reporters' questions are rather boring, about the idea of Daniel Day Lewis climbing the top, about the idea of Jennifer Lawrence winning the prize, about the speech of supporting women at the award ceremony, about the idea of attending the Oscar night for the first time, about the expectation of tonight's party, and so on.
The repeated topics are extremely similar, without much new ideas. On the one hand, it's because lanli hasn't appeared for a long time. He has been in the group for a long time and has no topic to talk about; On the other hand, because the finished works have not started the publicity period, there is naturally a lack of topics and highlights.
Of course, as a special guest, Langley appeared at the Oscar night party for the first time, which itself is the hot spot. But for journalists, their play space is limited; For Party participants, that's the real point.
Simply, lanli dealt with the reporter and then said with a smile, "I still have a party to go to. In order to avoid being late, please allow me to leave first."
A little joke, in the cheerful atmosphere, lanli left the photo area and interview area. Tonight's Langley is not the focus of the Oscar, relatively speaking, his task is much easier.
Pick up the steps, and then lanli saw Andy and others are still standing at the door, did not enter them, the staff blocked their steps, lanli cast a puzzled look, not waiting for Andy to answer, next to the staff in suits showed a stiff and astringent smile, "good evening, Mr. hall."
"Good evening." Lenley responded politely.
"I know they have Mr. Langley Hall's invitation, but we still have to confirm the identity of the guests in order to protect the situation and prevent other non invitees from mixing in. Please be considerate of our work. " The voice of the staff was slightly nervous and seemed to be a little cramped.
Lan Li nodded generously, "no problem."
There is a plot in the movie "how to betray one another". In order to enter the Oscar night party, the hero does not have an invitation, so he takes a pig and poses as a distinguished guest and a maverick artist. He refuses to show the invitation, but still successfully enters it.
This is a true story. People do everything they can to get into this party.
After that, for the sake of security, Vanity Fair adjusted its admission policy, and the audit became extremely strict. Of course, from a positive point of view, this is also a kind of privilege - no invitation, no entry; But from a negative point of view, it is an insult to Hollywood celebrities.
Because in Hollywood, the most important pass of most privileged classes is their own face. Imagine that there are people in Hollywood who don't know Tom Hanks or Julia Roberts. This is a very, very terrible thing, just like the surnames and titles of nobles. This is irreplaceable and crucial.
If you are stopped at the door of a party, "face brushing" doesn't work, it is undoubtedly a disgrace, and it may even make people angry, causing uncertain troubles and disputes.
Therefore, every year, the security personnel at the gate of the Oscar night must be careful, and be more careful. Otherwise, if they don't pay attention, they may step on the land mines, and the follow-up will be unimaginable. The only thing they can do is to treat all the participants equally, so that everyone can be treated equally and avoid unnecessary complications.
Although it is said that in the whole Hollywood now, there should be no such thing as not knowing the existence of Langley; But the staff still had to put forward the request to check the invitation.
Unexpectedly, lanli did not have the anxiety and pride of young actors at all. He fully cooperated with the security work, reported the names of the entourage one by one, and confirmed the list on the computer, which soon became popular.
Watching Lan Li and his party enter the Sunset Tower Hotel, the staff standing at the door exchanged a line of sight, their faces showed surprise expressions one after another, and they sighed in a low voice, "no wonder they are aristocrats."
Just before lanli arrived at the scene, van diesel just entered the scene, but he kept on talking about security issues. He complained about the "Vanity Fair" system and seemed to be annoyed that the staff could not identify him. He was still complaining until he left.
