Chapter 1159: Top Party
The awards show is over, but for Hollywood's artists, the revelry has just begun.
The Oscars are just a carnival for a small group of people, and the number of people who can be nominated is only a few, and it is not so easy to be a guest of honor; But after the Oscars, there is a carnival that belongs to everyone.
The annual Oscar night, organized by Vanity Fair magazine, is in full swing just after the awards ceremony.
Vanity Fair, a long-established magazine, has gone through eight decades of ups and downs, and after 1991, the new editor-in-chief, Graydon. Carter, a true record of the glitzy life and entertainment in the United States, has been loved by countless people, the content of the magazine is a mixture of fashion, politics, celebrities, money and social news, not only ordinary people love to read, celebrities and intellectuals are willing to read, which makes the magazine continue to expand the readership.
In 1993, in order to further expand the influence of "Vanity Fair", Grayden made a bold decision that was enough to change the trend of Hollywood: after the Oscars, he set up a celebrity school duì, bringing all the top celebrities together on one occasion, and also opening up the mall tycoons, social authorities, and media celebrities to enter the venue!
Known as "Oscar Night," it's only been held for two years, but it already has the power to change the course of the entertainment industry.
People can meet top Hollywood superstars, top managers of film companies or listed companies, editors-in-chief of fashion magazines and national newspapers, and handsome guys and beauties fill the spotlight, which makes pai duì a real glitzy vanity fair, where almost everyone can achieve their goals.
Graydon has a very special rules for admission to Oscar Night, and he will first distribute invitations to all Oscar nominees to ensure that the final winner will definitely appear on the pie duì to attract more attention.
The second will be to give invitations to top celebrities, including powerful figures from entertainment, culture, and sports, such as Steven Spielberg, who has not been nominated for any Oscars this year, but he will undoubtedly get an invitation; Another example is David Geffin, although he has never won an Oscar nomination, he has also received invitations in the past two years.
Again, the popular fried chicken in the past year will receive invitations, especially the beauties. Cameron Diaz, for example, was not nominated for an Oscar or Golden Globe, but a "weirdo in disguise" was enough for her to get an invitation, not to mention that she is still Hugo's date.
Finally, Grayden will also issue invitations to some of the topic figures, which can include second- and third-tier actors, as well as many popular singers, as well as elites from all walks of life such as socialites, prominent agents, and well-known lawyers, so that they can become active figures in Paiduì.
Oscar night means opportunities, connections, special circles that ordinary people can't reach and ordinary people can't join.
Therefore, in just two years, Oscar Night has become the most important party in the United States, even surpassing the Oscar itself, and has become an occasion coveted by countless celebrities and countless low-level people. Some people even called it "the most difficult party in the world to get into", and the invitation letter of the party duì is hard to find.
Hugo received an invitation when the first Oscar night was held, and the super popularity of "Smell the Fragrance of Women" and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea" made Hugo a topic of conversation, and received an invitation at the last moment, but Hugo was not interested in these activities because of the Golden Globe events that year, and the Oscars simply did not attend, let alone the Oscar night.
Last year, "Vanity Fair" naturally did not forget Hugo, and Hugo also became the winner of the Golden Man for the first time, but Hugo only went to the Oscar night for a walk, and then went to the party with a large group of friends, drinking until dawn. The result also caused a fuss in the media - Hugo, who was the second most talker at the Oscars that night, only appeared and then disappeared.
As a result, after Hugo gave up the Golden Globes and chose Sundance this year, Graydon personally called Hugo as soon as possible and sincerely invited Hugo, hoping that Hugo could attend the Oscar night. You know, the list of Oscar nominees at that time had not come out at all.
However, with Hugo's current reputation, it would be an embarrassment if he was not invited to attend the Oscar night. So it's no surprise that Graydon invited Rick to dinner three times, and sent a special gift to Hugo after the nominations came out – a pair of beautiful Rolex couple watches, and after the Grammys they reported on their glorious and deathly feats – it was not surprising that they showed great sincerity before and after.
This time, Hugo did not miss Oscar night again, especially at the sensitive moment when Endeavour elite agency needed him, and he had no reason to be absent.
After leaving the Sacred Auditorium, Hugo and Cameron went to the beauty salon to freshen up and change their clothes before driving from Samora to the Sunset Tower Hotel (Suower). hotel)。
It was early when they arrived, but there was still a long line of cars in front of them, slowly moving forward, and it was about twenty minutes before they arrived at the ticket gate of the parking lot, uniformed Los Angeles police officers. Cha walked up, checked the parking pass on the dashboard, and smiled at Samora, "Welcome to Oscar Night." Turning around and waving his hand, a well-dressed parking boy ran over, police. Cha then turned back and said, "Please give the car to our staff, and we'll park it for you." ”
Hugo looked at Joseph and Rick who were sitting next to him in some surprise, "There is parking here?" ”
Rick, however, had already anticipated it, expertly opened the car door, and said, "It's just you," and stepped out of the car. Joseph lagged behind and explained simply, "This is also graded. ”
Later, Hugo learned that their parking passes were colored, and different colors enjoyed different levels of service. Obviously, Hugo was enjoying top-notch service.
As soon as the group got out of the car, a staff member drove over in a golf cart and drove them from the entrance of the parking lot to the place where the pie was held. At the entrance, there are two large rows of security guards in black suits, and the Los Angeles police officer next to them. Cha was helping to maintain order - there were many fans gathered nearby, and when they saw Hugo coming, they screamed and shouted excitedly.
Hugo stopped, looked back, and then saw a few familiar faces, couldn't help laughing and waved his hand, which immediately made the fan group burst into an amazing scream. Hugo patted Samora on the shoulder, "Your brother and they came here, you know?" "Hugo saw Eli Casvi and Liam Pinkerman.
"Yes, they told me." Samora nodded, "Don't worry, once you go in, they'll be home." ”
Since Samora is Hugo's assistant, in fact, many of the activities of the young volcano will be notified to Samora to ensure that the fans can be organized and disciplined, and try to avoid chaos.
Hugo smiled and nodded, waved at them again, and said to Samora, "After you go in later, check their situation, it's almost midnight, it's too cold in Los Angeles today." "As soon as you come out of the Holy Auditorium, you can feel a sudden drop in temperature, which is not normal for Los Angeles at the end of March.
Samora nodded, and was about to comfort Hugo so that he didn't have to worry, when Rick's voice came from the front, "Hugo, come here, we need you here." ”
Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise and walked over with Cameron, "What's wrong?" I saw Rick and Joseph standing at the entrance, but the security guards stopped them and did not let them go, which surprised Hugo.
Rick didn't speak, just shrugged his shoulders and got out of the way, allowing Hugo to step forward.
Hugo stepped forward, and before he could ask, he heard the security guard smile and say, "Oh, Mr. Lancaster, good evening." Hugo nodded and then listened to the security guard explain, "We are only here to confirm the identity of the guests and prevent others from mixing in, please be considerate of our work." ”
I see, Rick is an agent, and it is normal that they don't know the security guards. Not to mention Joseph.
"Excuse me, are they all your entourage? Can you tell us their names? Thank you for your cooperation. Although the security guard recognized Hugo, he dutifully spoke.
"Of course." Hugo introduced everyone around him, and Samora hurriedly ran after him, so as not to be missed. I saw that the security guard took the invitation and confirmed it again, and then let him go.
Hugo couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the Oscar night was so influential, every detail of it reflected the difference in class levels, and clearly told everyone: this is the top faction, not everyone can enter, and even the people who get the invitation are different. This clear attitude has made more people flock to it, not only proud to attend such a party, but also hope to take a step to the sky through such a party.
Sure enough, this is a vanity fair.
But before Hugo's exclamation was over, he ran into trouble again. After entering the gate, walking through the garden, Hugo and his party were stopped again in front of the door of the banquet hall, and a dark-haired woman said sternly and sternly, "Please ask the name of you and your entourage." ”
Hugo looked back at the security guard not far from the door, and then at the black-haired woman, and the words were stuck in his throat and couldn't speak: This layer of security is too complicated, right?
