Film art has profoundly influenced and changed people's lifestyles, aesthetic styles, and ways of thinking around the world. It has made it possible for humans on earth to move towards integration and world unity for the first time. - Bela Balazs
——
The Kodak Theater has been the permanent venue for the Academy Awards since 2002.
This theater is specially designed for the Oscars. From the entrance, people can see the display of all the best films since 1928, and they have reserved seats for future award-winning films, which has to be impressive.
I feel that movies, here, can truly be immortal.
But for Ruochu, what really impressed her before was that the Kodak Theater was the venue for the finale of each season of "American Idol". Nowadays, replicas of "American Idol" have spread all over the world. Only in China, such
Civilian singing talent shows have also brought out batch after batch of singers who became famous overnight.
Regardless of whether they are a short-lived flash in the pan, or they can really become superstars and evergreens, Ruochu doesn't pay attention to these. She just admires that entertainment programs can be made into Oscars and American Idol, so that people from all over the world come to follow them crazily.
Yes, it’s really a miracle.
On the eve of the Oscars, Hollywood Boulevard was crowded with people all day long.
Media people, talent scouts, and fanatical fans from all over the world gather here like pilgrims, with various purposes, although each of them knows that what they can do, or get, is possible
If you risk your head being squeezed in a sea of people to take a look at your idols, you may not be able to see them, but this does not affect their enthusiasm.
It has to be said that sometimes, people just need a reason to party, but the purpose and meaning are not that important.
If their fellow photojournalist Xiao Wang hadn't booked a room early because of his experience, I'm afraid they would have been sleeping on the streets. Although they arrived a day early, the formation still left Ruochu speechless, and the whole of Los Angeles seemed to be packed at once.
It’s packed with food, no less than China’s National Day Golden Week.
Although a lot of preparation work has been done in China, a lot of the latest information was provided by the organizing committee after registration, and it still takes time to digest.
Ruochu has very high demands on herself. Regardless of whether Pei Hua's views can be agreed with by Ruochu, she has one sentence that Ruochu has firmly kept in mind, that is, if you let yourself out, you are definitely not here for fun.
Trying his best to resist the desire to go out and wander around, he locked himself in the hotel and became familiar with the awards process, the information of the guests attending the meeting, the information of the nominated actors, and even Ruochu, the royal fashion brand of each big-name star. He tried his best to remember it as much as possible. Now
The awards ceremony is no longer just a simple award ceremony. It has long become a battlefield where major fashion and jewelry brands compete to showcase their latest products and strong strength. For Ruochu, the more peripheral information he masters, the more
The more she can reduce her tension and anxiety caused by her lack of confidence in her on-site control ability, the more confident she will be.
In fact, the so-called news sensitivity does not come from the sudden inspiration on the spot, but from the familiarity with the object being reported. The more you know in the early stage, the easier it is to accurately discover what is valuable, so anything
There are no shortcuts.
However, Ruochu still couldn't resist the temptation and took the time to run out.
I also imitated others who foolishly took pictures of the celebrities’ footprints one by one in the vestibule of the Chinese Grand Theater, and took the trouble to use my own hands to compare the fingerprints left by the stars, and then even I felt ridiculously bored.
…
On the day of the award ceremony, Ruochu was pulled out early by Xiao Wang. She was still wondering if it wouldn't start at night? But when she went there, she realized that many reporters from various countries had already come, and they had already set up long guns and short cannons.
Wang said that if you want to choose a good location, you have to rush early.
Ruochu spent a lot of effort and finally asked cautiously, "Do we have to wait a day?"
Xiao Wang nodded casually, as if this was something that didn't need to be asked.
So Ruochu really waited for a day with Xiao Wang. At first Ruochu thought it was a very difficult thing, but as the number of people gradually increased, he found that observing people was not bad. He chatted with Xiao Wang and talked with others.
Foreign colleagues in the media communicated from time to time and made many friends. Ruochu called this friendship on the battlefield.
Ruochu was also pleasantly surprised by the delicious food that Xiao Wang kept coming out of his big backpack. Although he was a taciturn boy, he didn't expect that he was quite considerate.
The exciting moment finally begins.
The red carpet ceremony started with the constant flashing of spotlights and the screams of the crowd. If the award ceremony that will be held later is an artistic feast, then this is a fashion feast.
It was originally a routine check-in for the actors as they walked by. I don’t know when it started, but it became one of the indispensable highlights of the entire ceremony.
For this important event, the big names did not dare to slack off at all. They had to dress up brilliantly without overdoing it. They had to be eye-catching and not be said to be deliberate. So they racked their brains and trembled. If they can't do it well, the next day
Fashion magazines all over the world will say that you are wearing the wrong clothes. How can that be an embarrassing word?
Ruochu stood in the crowd, watching people whom she had only seen on the big screen come to life in front of her, and she felt very peaceful.
It's just a show.
Under the colorful scene, if Ruochu thought about his mission, that interview, could he just report who was wearing what clothes during such a trip? That would not work.
She said hello to Xiao Wang and left the red carpet ceremony to see if she could find opportunities within the limited scope of activities.
Taking advantage of the chaos, he slipped into the entrance hall. Because the time had not yet come, many celebrities who had walked on the red carpet gathered here in twos and threes. Ruochu's eyes searched the crowd, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
A moon-white figure appeared not far in front of her, because the other actresses were all dressed in evening gowns, but this figure was in a solid-color suit. The hem and cuffs of the top were loose and freehand, making it appear otherworldly. As soon as she appeared, many people
The actors all gathered around, and Ruochu only felt excited now, because that person was Meryl Streep.
Just when she was thinking about how to get close to her, forget about the interview, or even ask for an autograph, a hand patted her shoulder.
Ruochu turned around subconsciously, his mouth wide open in shock and did not close for a long time.
"Daddy, Daddy, why are you here?" After Ruochu found the voice, it still took a lot of effort to get his tongue back to normal function.
Xiaochuan was dressed in a formal dress, his hair was not messy, and his beard was clean shaven, showing a standard gentleman style.
"Oh, I received the invitation. Anyway, nothing happened. Why are you here?" Xiaochuan stared at the press card on Ruochu's chest and asked with a smile.
Ruochu lowered his head following Xiaochuan's gaze, and after understanding what he was looking at, he put his hands on the press card. Perhaps he realized that there was a suspicion that there was no silver in this place, so he quickly put his hands down.
Xiaochuan clenched his hand into a fist and put it to his lips and coughed twice to hide his barely suppressed smile.
"Oh, the school sent me here, yes, the school..." Ruochu made a random excuse.
"Really..." Xiaochuan was just about to ask why the school launched a movie magazine when he didn't know it, when a tall blond woman came over and took one of his arms.
"Humbert, I've been looking for you everywhere? Who is this?" the blonde woman asked in English.
Ruochu couldn't help but look at the person in front of her. Judging from her age, she should be about the same age as her mother. The long skirt was of a conservative style and covered her neck. When she spoke, she smiled at Ruochu. Her smile was very friendly and made people feel very comfortable.
Warmth. Moreover, I feel like I have seen it somewhere before, but I just can’t remember.
"Sabina, my godson." Xiaochuan said to the woman in English, and then introduced to Ruochu in Chinese: "Michelle, my female companion, a good friend, and a former partner."
Hearing this, Michelle warmly extended her arms to Ruochu, but Ruochu suddenly thought of something, ignored Michelle, and began to flip through his backpack. Xiaochuan frowned,
Giving an apologetic smile to Michelle, Michelle retracted her arm and smiled at Xiaochuan, indicating that she didn't mind.
Ruochu took out a dozen materials from his backpack and flipped through the pages quickly. He suddenly took out one, took a look at it, then looked up at Michelle, and exclaimed in surprise: "You are the one who won the most prize."
Michelle Young, one of the screenwriters nominated for Best Original Screenplay?”
"Humbert, your godson is so cute." Michelle said to Xiaochuan first, then smiled and nodded to Ruochu.
Ruochu's little mouth opened into an O shape this time and could no longer be closed.
"Ruoruo, it's almost time. We have to go in. Do you need any help?" Xiaochuan looked at his watch and said.
"Ah, um... I want to interview..." Ruochu thought about his mission and was hesitating whether to mention it to Xiaochuan. At this time, the screams outside the door became intensive, and then Monica and a white man
The man walked into the hall together, and behind her, the screaming continued.
Because Ruochu was facing the door and was the first to see her, she secretly glanced at Xiaochuan. Xiaochuan turned around subconsciously and happened to meet Monica face to face. Neither of them spoke, and Xiaochuan immediately turned around.
.
"Who do you want to interview?" Xiaochuan's voice was a little unstable and you couldn't tell unless you listened carefully, but his face was much paler than before.
"I want to interview...Meryl." Ruochu originally wanted to say Monica, but suddenly changed her mind. She couldn't embarrass her father. At the same time, Monica was not the person she really wanted to interview. What if
How can you do a good job if you are not even interested in interviewing the subject?
"Okay, I'll give it a try and wait here when it's over." Xiaochuan said.
"Daddy, is this really okay?" Ruochu's eyes widened, filled with longing.
Xiaochuan looked at her, "Others may not be able to do it, but she is Meryl, please wait for my news." After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation to Michelle, and Michelle said goodbye to Ruochu.
The two men walked in side by side.
If you look at the backs of the two of them, maybe Michelle is more suitable for daddy than Monica, at least that's what she thinks.
