The Kodak Theater, which was completed in November 2001, has been a regular venue for the Oscars since 2002, so every year from January to the end of February and early March, the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Boulevard welcomes a new audience. Peak period.

The Renaissance Hotel and the Kodak Theater are closely connected by several passages. Forty-eight hours before the arrival of the Oscars, Hollywood Boulevard will be officially blocked, all vehicles must detour, and pedestrians can only enter after showing their interview and work passes. The scope of the theater blockade.

Because the final interview of the awards ceremony was underway, the rehearsal staff entered the theater through a strictly blocked secret passage to avoid public appearances. Therefore, most of the staff's entry and exit at the Kodak Theater will be realized through the Literary Pays Hotel, and the press center and backstage interview room of the Academy Awards organizer are also located in the hotel. When the award ceremony is over, the winners will enter the hotel interview room through the channel to be interviewed by journalists from various countries waiting there.

The press center is located on the third floor of the hotel. All journalists invited by the Oscar organizer must first report in the press center and receive relevant materials and interview certificates. In order to prevent counterfeiting, the news center stipulates that all reporters must be present in person, with passports, national ID cards or driver's licenses, and invitation letters to collect materials from relevant personnel, and then take digital photos on the spot and make interview certificates. The organizer has repeatedly stated in advance that it does not accept any photos taken in advance, and does not allow others to collect interview certificates on their behalf.

After the production of the interview card, reporters must wear the card when they are in theaters and hotels, and before entering any area, they must be checked by the staff, and the identity and authority of the interview card holder will be checked through the computer. With total martial law in place near the Kodak Theater, it was almost impossible to move without an interview pass.

William Wood arrived at the Kodak Theater a day in advance, prepared the interview card skillfully, and then led his assistant Luke Siau back to the room. After finishing the things, the two of them went to the reporter interview room on the second floor. Go downstairs.

When we arrived on the second floor, there were already several people lining up at the mén mouth of the interview room. Luke-Sao took a look. The process of entering the interview room was the same as the process of airport security inspection. The staff would also ask the reporter to open the computer bag to check all the equipment. He couldn't help but stunned, "Why is the inspection so strict?"

William Wood stuck his head out and glanced, "Didn't you confiscated the phone?" Luke Siao paid attention and shook his head. William Wood couldn't help laughing, "This is much better than last year. Last year, mobile phones were not allowed to be brought in. If you want to make calls, you must apply for a free phone line from the staff. Once the mobile phone is found, you will be directly ejected from the venue. "

This is the first time that Luke Sio came to interview Oscar. He is a rookie who has just entered the industry for less than three months. This time he came out with William Wood to meet the world. So when I saw this battle, I couldn't help but stick out my tongue.

"After entering the interview room for a while, we will be separated." William Wood briefly introduced, "You can go directly to the designated seat of our 'Entertainment Weekly', where the office equipment should be ready. Then we will meet A staff member will take you to take pictures, just follow."

Luther Soo's eyes widened, "Still separated?"

"Well, photography, text and recording are separate. Text reporters are strictly prohibited from using cameras." William Wood explained quickly, patted Luther Soo, who was still in a state of surprise, and signaled that he was going to go through security. Fortunately, "Entertainment Weekly" does not have a recorded part, otherwise the whole program will be more troublesome. In the interview room, reporters need to be strictly classified, but on the red carpet tomorrow, they will all show their magical powers, regardless of each other.

After passing the security check, William Wood finally said, "It will be over at five o'clock in the afternoon, try to take pictures, no matter who it is." Then he walked in the other direction, and the interview areas of the text reporter and the photojournalist were not together. .

Although tomorrow is the official day of the Oscars, most of the cast will arrive a few days early, mainly to choose their red carpet outfits.

In fact, the competition for costumes at the Oscars has begun in December last year. With the arrival of the awards season, major fashion brands and designers have used their magic weapons to bet on the actors, and when After the nominations were announced, the competition heated up.

The costume battle has to be split into two parts, designers and actors.

Well-known designers are bound to be favored by many actors. They must provide high-quality costumes and hope to be in the eyes of actors. At the same time, they will also focus on more nominated actors who want to win awards, so as to increase exposure. Rate. Unknown designers need to constantly recommend themselves on mén, keep in touch with major brokers at any time, and even use all available contacts-the contacts accumulated from various parties in the past year can be sent at this time. It's useful, these designers only hope that their designs can appear on the red carpet, that's enough, they only hope that top fashion experts can see their designs, if the actors they sponsor can win awards, then It's a pie in the world, because that means super exposure.

Likewise, actors are also divided into the same two categories. First-tier actors have countless sponsorships on mén, eager for them to walk on the red carpet in their own clothes, while second- and third-tier actors must look around for suitable evening gowns, hoping to highlight their charm and stay on the star-studded red carpet order something.

Of course, the protagonist of the clothing battle has always been the nvxìng. For men, the dress of the shirt and suit is almost unchanged for ten thousand years. It is not an easy thing to wear something new from the suit. However, with the emergence of the "November" juvenile series last year, this phenomenon has also been initially improved. Many actors have also begun to pay attention to their suits. Even changes in details can increase their sense of fashion, not to mention the choice of accessories. .

Therefore, the choice of costumes will continue from December until the day of the Oscars. Only when the actors step on the red carpet can this war without gunpowder be regarded as over.

William Wood and Luke Theo will come to the interview room set up by the organizer one day in advance, that is, because there will be a large number of actors here. One of the reasons why the Oscars are important is because it is an occasion where countless top actors gather. It can be a gathering time for actors, and it can also be a time for second- and third-tier actors to expand their contacts. Among them, there are many opportunities to soar into the sky. It is conceivable that reporters have countless news to dig in the interview room. It can be said that this is an excellent place for the Eight Immortals to cross the sea and show their magical powers.

From 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the Renaissance Hotel is like a World Cup stadium. The players waiting for the game to start are very lively. Among them, reporters, professional broadcasters and players are constantly shuttled to prepare for the upcoming game. The warm-up of the game can be called the noise before the official event.

While the actors are streaming, the reporters are streaming with each other. For example, the two blocks around the Kodak Theater have all been cordoned off, and there are even helicopters circling in the sky. The security work can be said to be doing everything possible; for example, the surveillance cameras and metal detectors around the venue are so dense that The level of outrageous people is more exaggerated than last year, and there is a police officer every ten steps; for example, only 500 people are allowed to watch the red carpet tomorrow, in order to ensure order.

Among these news, the news that Evan Bell has not arrived in Los Angeles so far is also spread among reporters. There was also no update from William Wood, who was still filming in Kansas when he called Evan Bell yesterday and didn't give a clue as to whether he would come over today.

Everyone saw that there was no news from William Wood, so he had to change the subject, "William, what are you going to wear tomorrow? I heard that this time 'Entertainment Weekly' finally has an assistant for you. You are different, carrying the camera, running and interviewing. already."

William Wood couldn't help laughing, "The assistant is a rookie and doesn't understand anything, so I'm still going to have to play in person. What else can I do with clothes, I have no plans to buy a tuxedo, I have already rented a set of clothes at the rental venue. "

"You're moving too fast. I plan to go over here after the interview is over." The reporter next to him gave William Wood a shoulder punch with a smile.

The Oscars are actually a big gathering of reporters. Entertainment reporters from almost all over the United States and the world will gather here. Unlike reporters who report on other major international events, the reporters covering the Oscars are also subject to clothing. Restriction Since both the entertainers and the audience see this fashion gathering as the best opportunity to show their clothing and temperament, in order to prevent the ubiquitous reporters from being "big" in front of luxurious dresses and dazzling jewelry. It’s a terrible sight”, the Oscar organizer expressly required all reporters involved in the report, including the information relay personnel who shuttled between and outside the venue, to be dressed up to attend, all men should wear tuxedos, and nvs should wear evening clothes. The staff explained: "This is also a gathering of reporters!"

Although well-intentioned, this move undoubtedly puts a lot of burden on journalists who are busy interviewing and writing, because they must consider what to wear to be decent and easy to run and carry equipment. Fortunately, the organizing committee "considerately" set up a tuxedo rental hall next to the press center, so male reporters who are not prepared can go to the "rental hall" to measure their body and rent a suit of fitting clothes to temporarily top. But nvs are not so lucky, so many people have to bring a dress from thousands of miles and put on it when the time comes.

William - Wood has come to participate in the Oscars for the third time, of course, early and ready. However, today is the day before the Oscars, and the reporters still have a leisurely chat, because big names like Evan Bell may not be able to meet in the interview room, which requires luck. On the day of the Oscars, it is estimated that even the time to drink water will be crowded.
