Made in Hollywood

Despite the protests of the Rainbow Alliance, the 68th Academy Awards ceremony was held on time on March 25 at the Chandler Hall of the Los Angeles Music Center. Several experiences in the past decade have shown that any blockbuster film won When there are multiple nominations, the scene and ratings of the awards ceremony will be extremely hot, and "Saving Private Ryan", as the biggest hit this year, has played a significant role in promoting the Oscars.

Just after noon, Sarah entered the press area with the media invitation. As a reporter for the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, she was in a good position, although the red carpet would take some time to start, and the fans were constantly shouting. , but also good material.

"Bill!"

As there were more and more people in the press area, Sarah told her cameraman, "After the red carpet starts, be sure to listen to my command and shoot!"

"Hey, Sarah." Bill muttered dissatisfied as he set up the camera, "I'm not a novice."

"There are too many people rubbing against the red carpet every year!" Sarah was still worried, "We have to focus on the point."

No one can tell when it started. Those actresses who can't get the invitation letter and want to stand out will adopt the route of stardom, sponsorship, and even brokerage companies and the media, and appear on the red carpet. If we say If other actresses walk slowly on this short red carpet, these women who have not been shortlisted for work, have not been invited by the organizer, and the broadcaster will not even give the camera lens, then they are completely moved by a foot or even an inch. , I can't wait to finish it in half an hour.

If you want to be in the entertainment industry, thick skin is a basic condition, but these people's skin is definitely thicker than the bright red carpet.

These people are of no value to a well-known entertainment reporter like her and the Los Angeles Times, and it is a waste for Film to use them.

Male stars in formal suits walk down the red carpet. They are basically at a normal speed; one after another, the female stars who are flamboyantly walk on the red carpet, their speed is extremely slow, and they can dawdle for a while.

Whether it was the former or the latter, countless films were murdered.

A black RV parked in front of the red carpet, the doors opened, and a tall man in a dark dress got out.

"It's Duke Rosenberg!"

Throw away the few female stars who are still dawdling on the red carpet. Dozens of camera shots went to the front of the red carpet.

"Blast Maniac and 2 Billion Directors are here!"

The cameramen were as excited as they were seeing top stars like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, who had been the center of public opinion for months, even though he never stood in front of the camera and said anything.

"He has a girlfriend?"

Seeing the young director turn around and stretch out his hand into the car, Bill couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Although he was a famous Hollywood playboy, he rarely appeared in public with women.

As Duke Rosenberg turned to pull a woman down from the car, Bill could feel the flashes of lights flashing around him. He also kept pressing the shutter to capture the silhouettes of the two people.

"who is she?"

Many people have asked this question.

The woman had long black flowing hair, amber eyes that were blurry and bright, and she was born with a unique temperament when she walked out of the car quietly. The delicate face is like a classical lady, and when she smiles to her male partner, she is full of wild charm.

There is also a tall and plump figure tightly wrapped under a black low-cut evening dress, which is synonymous with glamorous and sexy.

Where does such a woman come from? If only she had a major role on the big screen. Sure to impress.

"do you know her?"

Bill asked Sarah next to him, "You did a couple of interviews for Duke Rosenberg. Also connected with his PR. Do you know who that woman is?"

"If I'm not wrong."

Not only Bill, Sarah pricked up her ears when she saw the people around her, "That woman is from England. You can check it out. Some famous actors, like Catherine Zeta Jones, should be the new Duke Nukem movie. "Chicago" heroine?"

"It's not his girlfriend, is it?"

A reporter with a "New York Post" badge next to him asked that he was even thinking about how to go back and write about the gossip about the first public relationship of the bomber.

"You take care of yourself."

The little deal with Penny Kelly was done, and Sarah stopped talking, urging Bill to keep taking pictures.

"It doesn't look like it's not for now."

When the two walked on the red carpet, someone said in a disappointed tone.

The Blast Maniac and the British actress didn't have their fingers intertwined, they just walked arm in arm in the most normal way. It seemed that it was just the relationship between the director and the star. These reporters also had guesses in their hearts. They were all insiders, and they knew that this should be is the promotional strategy of the film.

However, the two of them would look at each other and laugh from time to time, and they were always communicating silently with their eyes, which was not normal no matter how they looked at it.

Because of the responsibility of publicity and exposure, Duke does not walk as fast as he used to participate in public events. He can feel Zeta Jones' hand on his arm shaking slightly, and he can also see that the British woman around him is very excited. .

If it wasn't for holding him, Duke estimated that the other party could at most walk one-third of the distance.

"Is this the Oscars red carpet?"

Taking the opportunity to turn his head, Zeta Jones whispered in his ear, "Although it's the first time I've walked, I feel like I'm already in love with it."

"My first time, honey." Duke shrugged and quickened his pace a little. "Let's hurry up."

"It's your first time too?"

Although Zeta Jones maintained a charming smile, there was doubt in his amber eyes, "How could it be your first time?"

"This is the first time I've been nominated for an individual award."

Seeing someone holding up the poster of "Saving Private Ryan", Duke beckoned over there, but the fans' reaction was relatively dull, so he had to continue to say to the woman next to him, "Although "Independence Day" and "Brave Island" ” was nominated for an Oscar, and I was eligible to walk the red carpet, but I was so busy with work that I didn’t have time.”

Busy with work? No time?

It's unbelievable. Others can't wait for Oscar to be in the limelight, but this person around him is not very enthusiastic...

After walking a few more steps, Zeta Jones suddenly realized that she had been on the cast of "Chicago" for a few months, and she had seen and heard how hard the other party worked at work. He believes that the most important thing for a director is to speak with his work.

Also, he is so young and so good, there must be many opportunities to walk on the Oscar stage in the future.

Of course, he is not an old-fashioned director who doesn't know how to adapt, otherwise he would not have accepted Kelly's suggestion and walked the red carpet with her.

Zeta Jones' eyes turned to his side again. This is a very difficult director to understand.

Duke didn't know what the women around him thought. He just took her into the interview area to be interviewed by reporters.

As the director of the hottest movie of the night, he is certainly in the media spotlight. As soon as I walked into the interview area, a reporter from the broadcaster ABC TV ran over.

"Director Rosenberg, are you confident tonight?"

These are routine questions, and Duke answers them according to the routine. "I think we should be able to take away a few statuettes."

The female reporter asked again, "Can you set a record for best director?"

"I'll get it one day."

Although it is still an official answer. But what Duke said is also true, "But not this one, I'm still very young, there will always be opportunities in the future."

He is very clear. Age is an irreversible disadvantage, and people like Tim Robbins of "Death Row" don't do any less work in private.

"Can you talk about the beautiful lady beside you?" The reporter looked at Zeta Jones, who was always wearing a charming smile. "Is this your girlfriend?"

"Such a misunderstanding is not easy to explain."

Turning their heads, Duke and Zeta Jones looked at each other deeply in front of the camera, and then said, "This is Miss Catherine Zeta Jones, Kate is a very good actress and the heroine of my new film. , as you can see, she's beautiful and charming."

Hearing Duke's words, the reporter immediately turned to Zeta Jones, "Miss Jones, can you talk about your cooperation with Duke?"

"sure."

From standing here, Zeta Jones has been waiting for such an opportunity, "Last year, Director Rosenberg made a special trip to London to find me, thinking that I was very suitable for the role of Velma, and he has always been my favorite. Director, we have this cooperation, although the film has not yet started shooting, but when discussing the script and characters, he gave me a lot of inspiration and guidance..."

She turned her head, looked at Duke affectionately, and continued, "This will be a turning point in my acting career, and the most important performance in my life. You can only find out how good Duke is after you have worked once. , His talent and hard work are admirable, even fascinated..."

In terms of acting skills, even if he works hard for another 20 years, Duke thinks that he can't compare to Zeta Jones. Chandler Hall, according to the guidance of the staff, passed through the front hall and a long corridor, and entered the main hall of the theater from the specially reserved VIP passage.

"I've been here before." Zeta Jones murmured as he walked towards the front row, holding Duke in his arms, "Why does it feel completely different?"

"Because this is Oscar."

After a casual reply, Duke looked around, looking for the location of the crew, and before he could see a familiar face, Nancy Josephson caught up from behind.

"This way." She led the way and said to Duke, "You will be familiar with it after a few more visits."

How many times?

This sentence seems to speak to Zeta Jones' heart. She likes such occasions, likes the feeling of being in the spotlight, and wants to participate in every Oscar.

Turning her head, her eyes fell on Duke, would this be her protection?

"Where's my mother?"

That's Duke's biggest concern, "Is she in?"

"Sophia is sitting in front with her." Nancy walked to the front row where she belonged to the crew of "Saving Private Ryan". (To be continued ~^~)
