Chapter 744: Red Carpet Appearance

Los Angeles is a city of movies, but at the same time, Los Angeles is also a city of music. The symphony and the opera are flowing slowly in the blood of the City of Angels, making the city more romantic.

Founded in 1964, the Los Angeles Music Center (Los. Angeles. Music. Center) is world-famous, where there was only one Dorothy Chandler Hall (Dorothy. Chandler. Pavilion), which is a famous symphony orchestra and opera performance venue.

Three years later, in 1967, two more buildings were added around Dorothy Chandler Hall, one was the Mark. Taper. Forum, which was primarily a venue for opera and choir performances; the other was It is the Emerson Theatre (Ahmanson. Theatre), which mainly provides a stage for theatre, music and dance.

Finally, in 2003, Walt Disney Concert Hall (Walt. Disney. Concert. Hall) chose to settle here again, thus completing the great project of the four major buildings of the Los Angeles Music Center, making it a place for music, opera, and drama. It is a center for various artistic performances such as musicals, dances, symphonies, etc., attracting millions of audiences every year, and has also become the center of art and culture in Los Angeles, where many academic award ceremonies are held every year.

Until the opening of the Kodak Theater in 2001, Dorothy Chandler Hall had been one of the preferred venues for the Oscars, with 3,200 seats, huge crystal chandeliers, spacious staircases and full The largest stage in the United States has attracted the attention of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. During the twentieth century, the annual Oscar event was held here twenty-four times before and after.

This year's 66th Oscars will be held at Dorothy Chandler Hall for the third consecutive year. March 21st is the day everyone will be watching. Although it can't compare to the storm that the Super Bowl has set off across the United States, There is no doubt that the Oscars are the most commercially valuable, most topical, and most concerned art events in the United States, and their global influence is second to none.

The early morning sun has not had time to break, the city of Los Angeles is already busy, and even some places are brightly lit. It can be seen that in order to welcome today's feast, all-night work is also being spared. Gestures, more perfect looks appeared in news media from all over the world.

The busy scene spreads in every corner of the city, and you can clearly see the strong influence of this feast on various industries and circles, and then these busy scenes will leave the base where they take root and set off towards the final destination. Like thousands of mountain springs and rivers, rushing towards the sea where Dorothy Chandler Hall is located, the City of Angels presents a spectacular picture of thousands of horses galloping. The tide was surging towards the sea.

Dorothy Chandler Hall has been in a festive atmosphere since a few days ago, and the rehearsal for the awards show has made the entire Los Angeles Music Center full of noise, festivity and busyness. This slightly noisy and chaotic pattern peaked today.

Hundreds of reporters, hundreds of spectators, and hundreds of security guards have blocked the entire Dorothy Chandler Hall. Grand Avenue, where the Los Angeles Music Center is located, has been completely closed, so no motor vehicles are allowed. To pass, you must take a detour, but even so, the location of this building complex in the north of the street is still very bloated. The bustling crowd makes it look like Rockefeller Plaza on New Year's Eve.

In the midst of the raucous crowd, a bright red carpet divides the tide water, extending from the street side to the door of Dorothy Chandler Hall, a bright and flamboyant color that is clear to transparent in Los Angeles. Under the blue sky, it is particularly dazzling. The red of the carpet, the dark color of the crowd, the gray of the building, the blue of the sky, and the blood of the sunset, blend with each other and exist independently of each other, which outlines a corner of the city with thrilling beauty.

The reporters are preparing intensively on both sides of the red carpet at this time. Due to the special nature of the Oscars - all the visiting artists are top stars, it may even cause congestion on the red carpet, and at the same time there are multiple superstars on the red carpet. For interviews, the reporters did not divide a clear area, and the organizing committee did not prepare a special photo area. Any location can be a photo location, and it can also be an interview location. As a result, photographers, interviewers, and TV reporters were all scattered around the red carpet, making it very lively, just like a market day in a traditional market.

Behind the reporters, there are ordinary audiences who have obtained tickets for the red carpet. Most of these are avid movie fans. They came to the red carpet to enjoy the first time on the movie screen. The excitement, nervousness and screaming of the idols who call for wind and rain also filled the red carpet with an anticipating suffocating atmosphere.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when Antonio Banderas (Antonio. Banderas) appeared on the red carpet, it means that tonight's red carpet officially kicked off. Antonio, who crossed the ocean from Spain to seek career development in Hollywood, received attention last year for his outstanding performance in "The. House. Of. The. Spirits" and "Philadelphia Story". He won a ticket to this year's Oscars.

Antonio's appearance won the screams of many fans and the shouts of reporters. His rich Latin style easily attracted everyone's attention and attracted bursts of exclamations. This also indicates that tonight's red carpet is bound to be It will be very lively.

Afterwards, big names made their debut, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a climax again and again. When Nicolas Cage appeared on the red carpet, many reporters joined in one after another. It's not sensitive to say, but Nicholas' "First Lady's Bodyguard" has failed to meet expectations recently. The prolific actor who has released six works in the past two years has created a lot of topics, and reporters are naturally unwilling to miss it.

Nicholas was not shortlisted for any awards this year. To be precise, his performance in 1993 was really disappointing. Both the box office and word of mouth fell into a bad quagmire. He was present today as an award guest, so the reporters The question also revolves more around what Nicholas thinks of this year's work.

"I like 'Schindler's List' very much. Steven has always been an admirable director, but I also admire James' delicate grasp of British aristocracy. Last year's 'Howard Manor' was memorable. Profound, this year he contributed another great work, so... I don't know, I don't know who the final award will belong to, but I think it's a happy thing for the audience, because they can see it again Lots of wonderful works..."

Nicholas has also been rolling around in Hollywood for more than ten years. Occasions like Oscar are basically family fun, and he is really familiar with how to deal with polite scenes.

Just as Nicholas was in the middle of speaking, there was a commotion from the front of the red carpet, and then the commotion broke out immediately and became a riot. In the trance is the most lively moment after the start of the red carpet tonight.

In fact, such a scene is really common on the Oscar red carpet. Because there are so many big names, no one knows who will land on the red carpet next moment. Nicholas didn't care too much, but the shouting was so exaggerated that everyone couldn't help but wonder: Who the hell was there?

The reporters who are interviewing Nicholas are all subconsciously looking over to the red carpet start, that's their job, they have to see who the newest person is, and if it's worth interviewing, they have to end the ongoing interview , then prepare for the next interview.

When he saw the person in front of him clearly, the two reporters in front of Nicholas ended their interviews one after another, "Thank you for accepting our interview, and I hope you have a good night."

Nicholas was going to continue talking eloquently, but now he can only stop in despair. He also knows that he is not the nominee tonight, and he is not the focus of attention, so it is really normal to receive this kind of treatment. The attitude of each award presenter is actually half a catty.

But even so, after taking two steps, Nicholas still looked curiously towards the red carpet, and then he saw the tall and handsome figure, and he was a little lost for a moment: it was Hugo Lancaster!

At this time, the setting sun in the sky was burning and sinking, dyeing the entire blue sky a gorgeous blood red, which complemented the red carpet on the ground. The dazzling brilliance almost robbed everyone of the light. But at this moment, these rays of light became the background behind Hugo. The bright red was mixed with a hint of gold, which outlined Hugo's long body little by little.

I saw Hugo casually standing on the red carpet. The simple black suit pants made his slender thighs seem to have no end. Compared with the usual suit pants, the line design was more fitting and concise. The advantage is infinitely magnified, making Hugo's six-foot (1.83) tall body proportions look flawless, and with the golden red light between his legs, it brings endless shock.

The black of the suit jacket looks so stable and deep, the small silk lapel is in sharp contrast with the main body of the wool suit, and the large squares formed by the navy blue, light gray, mint green and beige of the suit lining can be vaguely seen , just at a glance, I know that this is the classic plaid that has been rampant for a century by Burberry.

The pearl white collared shirt quickly pulled the age of the suit from 40 to 30 years old. The seamless connection of hidden buttons made the shirt look extremely simple. Finally, a straight bow tie was tied, and the tough lines would make the shirt look extremely simple. The youthful and flamboyant temperament is easily outlined.

Finally, a black girdle was added to outline Hugo's slender figure, wide shoulders, thin waist and long legs. At the same time, it also added a retro classic and forbidden to the whole suit. want. Style is the finishing touch.

What is meant by suppressing the audience is probably Hugo at this moment.
