Chapter 1460 1460 Warm up Slowly

As the venue for this year's Oscars, Dorothy Chandler Hall has been warming up since a month ago. The awards ceremony will be held tomorrow, which will make the crowd around Dorothy Chandler Hall surging, and media coming and going. There is an endless stream of reporters and staff, and the liveliness of the media center at this moment is just the tip of the iceberg.

Although it is said that the overall quality of the works has dropped significantly this year, the competition between Hugo and Nicolas Cage has collided with countless sparks, even surpassing the competition between Hugo and Brad Pitt for a time, becoming the top of this year's Oscar the biggest point of view. Media reporters are exchanging their own gossip after dinner, and radio programs and TV programs are also discussing the final ownership of the actor.

"I heard Tom Cruise voted for Hugo."

"I talked to Schwarzenegger and he voted for Cage."

"Jack Nicholson cast Hugo in both leading and supporting roles."

"Redford picked Pete."

"Kevin Costner said he supports Nicolas Cage."

"Coppola voted Cage, of course, that's not unusual, is it?"

... All kinds of rumors are circulating in the media center. The only difference is that the focus of discussion is not on the attribution of the best picture, but on the trend of the best actor.

Because everyone knows, maybe this is the closest Hugo is to the Oscar winner, but it can also be said to be the farthest Hugo is from the golden man. There is so much sex that no one can predict the outcome. If it is missed, maybe Hugo will never be able to replicate such a year again, just as "1994" cannot be replicated, maybe Hugo will usher in his "1995-style landslide".

Therefore, everyone is curious, everyone is predicting, and everyone is expressing their own opinions.

There are less than 24 hours left until the 68th Academy Awards, and the whole of Hollywood is starting to move quickly. According to incomplete statistics, in the past week, only the topic of "Hugo vs. Nicholas" has been discussed. It has been mentioned more than 6,000 times by major radio and TV stations, not to mention the topic of "Oscar".

Even overseas markets have given Oscar an unimaginable amount of attention, even surpassing last year's year when the Troika Thin Ice won and lost. Thanks to the popularity of the Berlin Film Festival, the entire European continent sent an unprecedented number of more than 400 reporters to Los Angeles for on-site interviews. This number not only created a record high, but even increased by 30% compared with last year's figure, making North America The major media exclaimed "incredible".

The stark contrast to the Oscars is naturally the dilemma of the Golden Globes. Last year, the ratings of the Golden Globes achieved good results, but the topic was stolen by the Sundance Film Festival; this year, the ratings of the Golden Globes have fallen sharply. , Controversy on the winners list, intensified internal conflicts... It's just a wreck and in jeopardy.

After a double whammy, the Golden Globes are now on the verge of fire, and maybe things will change dramatically after the Oscars.

The whole city, the whole country, and the whole land were filled with countless discussions, slowly warming up for the Oscars, just waiting for the moment when the awards ceremony was unveiled.

As a party, Hugo was making the final preparations for tomorrow's red carpet. With the help of his assistant, Hugo put on his suit solemnly, then buttoned it up, carefully looking at himself in the full-length mirror in front of him. In fact, the evening dress for the awards ceremony has already been selected, but after the upper body of the suit, some details were adjusted according to Hugo's figure. Today's try-on is to confirm that the whole dress fits perfectly. If there is any problem, you can adjust it in time.

Generally speaking, in order to attend the Oscars, many female stars start dieting three days or even a week in advance, and try their best to ensure that they appear on the red carpet in a perfect posture. For male stars, the requirements are not so high, but one day in advance It's also necessary to start controlling the size of your three meals - otherwise, a hangover the night before and a confused walk on the red carpet the next day will be enough to be the laughing stock of the next few months.

Therefore, the final confirmation of the clothing details one day in advance will generally not cause problems, which is to avoid the rush of tomorrow.

"What about matching? Need to match some accessories or handkerchiefs?" the assistant standing by the side asked in a low voice. Although it is said that male artists wear uniform suits on the red carpet, those who really know how to wear them can still wear their own style, and some invisible matching will make the whole suit stand out. For example, for a simple and clear black suit, in addition to the changes in tailoring, the neckline and cufflinks of the shirt, the choice of bow tie, the personalized tie clip, the corsage on the left chest, etc. can all make the most basic black suit. become different.

Hugo turned around carefully, took a serious look, and shook his head, "No need."

The assistant has three layers of trolleys with a small number of accessories. The first layer is a precious watch, the second layer is a bow tie, the third layer is cufflinks and collar buttons, and behind him, there are also There are two three-layer carts, and the dazzling array of accessories is dizzying.

Hearing Hugo's clean refusal, the assistant turned his head helplessly and cast a look of help at Thomas Wieland, who was standing beside him. Thomas reluctantly touched his brow bone, then stepped forward and asked hesitantly, "Hugo, are you sure?"

Although Thomas is the head of Burberry's entire US branch, and is also a top figure outside, he is always more special to Hugo and more careful in his words. Even Thomas knew that Hugo was a nice guy to get along with.

"I think this is good. Adding other collocations will make it superfluous." Hugo looked at his body shape again, curled his lips, and said it indifferently.

Thomas looked at Joseph who was standing beside him for help. Joseph also felt a headache, but he was obviously more comfortable than Thomas, and asked directly, "Don't want a watch?"

Hugo was stunned, "Ah, you mean Rolex watches, right?" Hugo immediately reacted. This time Hugo attended the Oscars ceremony, which was almost a lot of attention, and Rolex offered to sponsor it. , hope Hugo will wear their watch to the awards ceremony.

Not only Rolex, in fact, every accessory on Hugo is sponsored, not only for free wear, but also a lot of gifts. There are 23 manufacturers who have expressed their willingness to sponsor Hugo. From small items such as cufflinks to invisible parts such as socks and underwear, all manufacturers are willing to sponsor them. Rick is really picking flowers. Eye.

In the end, Burberry still relied on the solid friendship with Hugo in the past three years to gain the initiative. Hugo's suits and shirts chose the styles that Burberry designed specifically for him. Burberry's design director, Roberto Menichetti, came to Los Angeles in person to design a suit for Hugo, and then hand it over to an authentic professional hand-tailor. It took nearly three months before and after. Complete this suit - a one-of-a-kind suit.

"It's okay, I'll wear it on Oscar night." Hugo replied neatly, "I won't wear this suit, it's cumbersome." Most of Hugo's dress is simple and comfortable. In the so-called fashion, in fact, he really doesn't know much.

Hearing Hugo say this, Joseph didn't say anything more, Thomas looked helpless, "But... this is a historical moment after all, don't you want it to be more grand?"

"Hehe, don't you think that I will definitely win the award?" Hugo chuckled and said jokingly, but he started to unbutton his suit with both hands. Hand-made suits really feel different, everything is meticulously measured and designed, and it's a completely different feeling than buying a finished suit before, no wonder a suit costs three thousand pounds.

Thomas felt Hugo's ease, and his mood relaxed a little. "Don't you want to win the award? I think you have a good chance." This is also the reason why Burberry is so cautious. If Hugo successfully wins the best actor, To create a historical moment, it will be the moment when Hugo shines. Thomas hopes that Burberry can become an important partner to accompany Hugo to stand under the limelight.

Joseph raised his eyebrows and glanced at Thomas. In fact, because the media has been discussing this matter in full swing recently, it is inevitable that they are in contact with these news almost every day. Although Hugo never said it, Joseph knew that in this overwhelming news, the pressure was increasing invisibly. Hugo didn't have much breathing room at all, even if Hugo wanted to relax, even if it rained If you want to be relieved, it is definitely not that simple.

Even Joseph and Samora were squeezed out of breath by the pressure, and the voices of discussion about this matter could be heard almost anywhere, and the number of people like Thomas who were hopeful to ask positive questions was overwhelming. They see it as a form of support - and it is, but there's no denying the oppression is terrifying.

Joseph looked at Hugo and wanted to stop Thomas' words, but Hugo let out a long sigh, and naturally handed the suit jacket to the assistant, and then started to unbutton his shirt, "Hehe, if I don't want to If I win the award, then I must be a hypocrite, so..." Hugo's words made Thomas chuckle, but Joseph still watched the subtle changes in Hugo's expression with concern, "However, the Oscar is not up to me to decide, No? Of course, I voted for myself on top of my vote. So hopefully it turns out I'm not a narcissist."

Hugo's generous and self-deprecating answer made the assistants next to him chuckle. However, only Joseph could hear the bitterness in Hugo's words. heavy.
