~： Five hundred and eighteen - Vanity Fair

The 69th Academy Awards Ceremony finally came to an end amid the extraordinary turbulence. The golden statuette for the best foreign language film was awarded to the Czech film "Give Me a Dad". Sadly, there were almost no People are concerned about the ownership of this little golden man. Whether it is the guests at the scene or the media around the world, they are all staring at the winning "The Departed" crew.

Today's Oscars ceremony is actually infinitely close to the length of a dozen years or so. If you want to watch the award ceremony for several hours, even fans sitting in front of the TV need a certain amount of physical strength, and even more so. Not to mention the attendees of the event.

Facing the possibility of being broadcast live on TV at any time, most of the guests sitting in the front row will always keep an elegant smile, and the entire awards show will last, no less than a day of high-intensity physical work.

Every time the participants come to this time, they will miss the Oscars decades ago. The earliest event was only fifteen minutes long. Compared with the previous Oscars, today's Oscars are like a dull old man, but their The charm has never diminished, and countless movie stars and onlookers still yearn for the Oscars, which attract worldwide attention once a year.

The sixty-ninth Oscars ended with a big win for The Departed. The film was nominated for nine nominations and won a total of six golden statuettes, including the first prize for best picture and the best prize in Wayne's heart. director.

When the whole crew accepted the honor of best picture together, in the face of the backstage reporter's siege, in the routine interview ceremony, Robert and Mia, who got the golden statuette, tacitly took their golden statuette, Put them in front of Wayne together.

Everyone understood the meaning of the two, and Jennifer Connelly followed closely and put her best supporting actress in front of the man as well.

Whether it is the crew members or the dozens of reporters on the scene, they all know that the reason why they can get the recognition of the Oscar is that they cannot do without the man waiting to be interviewed. ".

A full six golden statues were opened in a row on the long table in front of Wayne. The camera flashes of the media even made these golden statues glittering. However, it was obvious that the reporters did not show up in these golden statues. People stay for too long, and the tough-looking man sitting behind the desk is the focus of all the media.

Four of Hollywood's most representative top directors were invited by the Academy to present him with the highest honor. There are too many topics that can be hyped. Nine nominations and six awards, which may not rank among the top few golden statuettes on the list, but the treatment he received is definitely the most dazzling in the history of Oscar in recent decades.

The awards ceremony is completely over, but this event has just begun. Except for Wayne who is surrounded by reporters in the backstage and constantly answering questions about nutrition, celebrities who have already left, as long as they receive invitations, they are almost all transferred to Hilton hotel ballroom half a block away.

Where will start the annual Vanity Fair reception that always accompanies the Oscars. This is a very high-profile social platform. No one can easily refuse the invitation of Vanity Fair. In fact, they can receive their invitation. , which means that his coffee position has reached a certain point.

Twenty minutes later, facing the reluctant reporters, Wayne, escorted by Sergey, finally escaped from the backcourt. What surprised him was that it was not just Naomi- Watts and Nina, and a woman who seems familiar.

This woman has short hair. Unlike the countless bright female stars tonight, she is wearing a fairly simple professional attire. Even if she is not close, the professionalism and sharp temperament exuding from the whole person are already Telling Wayne the woman was not easy.

"Director Greenberg, congratulations on being the biggest winner tonight."

Without waiting for anyone to introduce, the woman took the initiative to stretch out her right hand, and a friendly smile appeared on her face at the same time. "We've met before, maybe you don't remember, I'm Tina Brown of Vanity Fair and I'm here waiting for you."

He shook hands with the other party calmly, and after seeing the little assistant nodding slightly, he said politely, "Hello, Ms. Brown."

He may not know this woman, but this woman has a legendary career. As long as she lives and works in this circle, she will more or less hear about it.

By the time Tina Brown took over the magazine in 1984, Vanity Fair's circulation had shrunk to 250,000 copies, and advertising revenue was not worth talking about. It is this powerful professional woman who has carried out a drastic reform after taking over the magazine. From the magazine's personnel management, editorial policy, to the magazine content and packaging, the entire renovation has been carried out from beginning to end.

In the end, this humble magazine, with the woman's celebrity effect and fascinating reports, and the concept of the extreme sensitivity of the news in the circle, successfully made "Vanity Fair" in the circle for more than ten years. The best-selling magazine in North America.

More importantly, this magazine not only has a strong ability to attract money from advertising, but also followed the steps of the Oscars and started this Vanity Fair cocktail party a few years ago, and its influence is no longer limited to the media field.

"Ha, everyone knows you don't like socializing."

With a sincere smile, Tina Brown shrugged and said, "So I'm waiting here, hoping to invite you, the biggest winner of the night, to the reception held by Vanity Fair, um, even if it's tied , I will also tie you, the protagonist tonight."

Wayne smiled and nodded. To a certain extent, this woman's face is indeed big enough, and although "Vanity Fair" mainly reports on celebrity gossip and entertainment news, it has a very good relationship with Warner Bros. The reason is not to give each other this face. No matter how fierce the competition for Oscar was, when the event ended, the party held by Vanity Fair became the prelude to everyone's carnival.

The Oscars have come to an end here, but the TV broadcast has not ended. Several well-known film critics are doing various summaries and analyses as in previous years. Compared with the endless talk on the way to the awards, Roger Albert's face was ashen at this time, and he silently listened to several colleagues sing praises to Wayne.

In fact, his judgment and basis were correct at the beginning. The entire North American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences has more than 6,000 members in total, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same idea. Even in the face of the strongest public relations, it can be affected. It's just a handful of well-known bigwigs.

Judging from the rules of the Oscars over the years, the final result of the award is not under the control of the participants at all, and before the whole party is held, there are only two people who can know the result of the award in advance. Cooper's accountant partner in charge of counting votes, and college president Frank Pearson.

Combined with the special opening of the party and the fact that the four major directors were invited to the same stage to present awards, when I think about it carefully, there is no doubt that the Academy and the four top directors in the circle have disclosed some of the award-winning results in advance, which is actually not in line with the Oscars. regular.

However, even Roger Albert, who is already suffering from cancer, is not stupid enough to question in front of everyone. Film critics, to put it bluntly, rely on the entire Hollywood film industry to eat, and no one wants to ruin their jobs. , Moreover, for their well-known film critics, they may also lose a golden job.

Sitting in front of the camera, the Pulitzer Prize winner finally made it to the end of the show, didn't say hello to anyone, and hurriedly left the studio alone.

"There's something wrong with his face."

Kenneth Turan's tone was unabashedly gloating. He raised his elbow and lightly touched David Denby next to him.

"Who knows."

David Denby shook his head suspiciously, continued to pack his belongings, and prepared to return to the hotel early. He had to write a special film review for "The New Yorker" before dawn tomorrow morning, and he had no intention at all. Pay attention to others OMG! "

Just as everyone was bowing their heads and preparing to leave the studio, a backstage staff hurried in and ran straight to the producer's position. At the same time, his exclamation attracted everyone. attention.

"Ted, damn, Roger fell in the dressing room and has now been rushed to the hospital by his agent, should we do something?"

"Shit...why didn't he wait until he left the TV station to fall! F**k!" The TV column producer frowned and exclaimed, the guy fell in the background, if something really happened problem, no doubt they need to take part of the responsibility.

Almost everyone heard the news, but everyone just paused for a moment, and then accelerated the pace of leaving as if they had not heard anything.

"Why do you think Roger hates Wayne?"

After leaving the TV studio, Todd McCarthy, also a native of Los Angeles, walked towards the parking lot while expressing doubts about Kenneth Turan beside him.

"I don't know."

Shaking his head, he was also puzzled by this matter. "I remember that a few years ago, Roger received a PR from Warner Bros., praised Wayne's new film, and called on his supporters to go to the cinema to buy tickets to watch. I think it should be some relationship between him and Warner Bros. question."

The two looked at each other and did not continue to bring up the topic. Before the car caught fire, Kenneth Turan lowered the window and asked. "Are you going to the reception held by Vanity Fair? It's just too late to go now."

"Let's go, let's go together."
