Grayden Carter, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, has never wavered for twenty years. Even Michael Eisner, known as the King of Disney, has retired from the stage of history. But Graydon's position Still steadily, and more importantly, the status of "Vanity Fair" in the industry has always been steadily improving.

This skill and wisdom are no trivial matter.

This time, Graydon spent half a year planning and brewing in order to invite Lan Li to attend the Oscar night, as if he was just making friends and never revealed his intentions until the Oscar nomination list was officially announced. He only mentioned it to Roy for the third time and the first time he directly mentioned it to Lan Li, asking him about Lan Li's intention to attend the Oscars.

After the "Drunk Country Folk Song" was finalized, Graydon personally arrived in New York and delivered the invitation letter to Roy. Renly, who had disappeared at the time, no one was able to find him. In the end, Matthew Dunlop replaced Renly and accepted the invitation-because Roy couldn't change Renly's mind, but Matthew could.

The interesting part is here. Graydon prepared an invitation letter early and sent it to Matthew. Because Matthew is a top lawyer, a hereditary aristocrat, and a close friend of Lan Li, Graydon prepared two letters for invitations that others dream of.

As for Roy, Nathan and Andy, they can enter the party together as Renly's companions.

Later, Matthew learned that Eaton Dormer and Andre Hamilton had also received invitations. what does that mean? This means that Graydon has great abilities. He not only inquired clearly about the network of Lanly’s friends, but also carefully grasped the measure. He only invited those who have direct or indirect contact with Hollywood, and more importantly, he used the momentum of his friends. To promote Lan Li’s willingness to attend.

What's ingenious is that Graydon has never really expressed his request, nor has he really solemnly demanded. After laying all the clues and details, he quietly waited for the effect. In other words, not in the way of work, but in the way of personal relationships, as much as possible to dilute the powerful influence of the Oscars night, as if only invited Lan Li to attend a private party, this is the truly brilliant place.

Acting in this style is not only a clever publicist, but also a sophisticated upper-class person. Graydon knew clearly that nobles would not compromise and nod easily. Glory and dignity are their most important characteristics. Reserved and restrained are undoubtedly the normal state of communication. Only in a proper and appropriate way can they win an equal conversation with them. right.

Even though Matthew doesn’t like Grayden too much—because there are quite a few roles in London, he still has to admit that Grayden is very smart and very wise. "If he meets Arthur, two people You should be able to find a lot of common topics." This is a comment from Lan Li.

So, will Renly attend tonight's Oscar night?

The answer is yes.

Because Grayden was so sincere, because of Andy's sincere request, because of the presence of Eaton and Andre—Matthew had no interest in the Oscar night, and because of...Arthur Hall's presence.

Strictly speaking, the last reason is the most important.

Before, Andre told Lanly that Arthur and Elf seemed to have a dispute, and then Arthur left London and flew directly to Los Angeles, and stayed in California for nearly two weeks, but it was never too high-profile. , More of them are attending various parties, as if just enjoying a vacation purely, just like those days and nights in Sicily.

But Edith immediately appeared in Lan Li's mind.

Before and after Christmas, Edith stayed in London for nearly a month, and then left London exhausted and returned to New York.

Intuition tells Lan Li that these two things are directly or indirectly connected; even further, there are inextricable connections with Lan Li, but Lan Li does not want to be too narcissistic, nor does he want to speculate, so Temporarily suppressed all speculation in the bottom of my heart.

Even setting aside other disturbing things, in the city of Los Angeles, seeing Arthur is an interesting thing. Lanly believes that, just like Andre, Arthur will also like Los Angeles and California, because there are parties here, wine here, life here-even though it is not London, it is still worth staying.

Therefore, Lan Li decided to attend the Oscar night with a mood of "Alice in Wonderland".

What's more, at the Oscars award ceremony, the brief exchange between Renly and Steven Spielberg has not yet been able to cut into the theme, which also made him a little curious. If he can collaborate on a work with Steven, This is indeed a good idea, and just imagining it in your mind is enough to make people excited.

I just finished my short vacation in Florida and re-enter the colorful Vanity Fair. It’s actually a very interesting thing. After leaving the Dolby Theater, the private car drove all the way along Hollywood Boulevard. Slowly came to the Hollywood Hilton Hotel.

This is to attend the Oscar night, but it is not only for the Oscar night, more accurately, it is for washing and changing clothes. For the official debut of the Oscar night, celebrities from all walks of life need to change another set of clothes, wash away fatigue and dust, then refresh their mood and make their debut again.

Itinerary to attend an Oscar awards ceremony: red carpet, awards ceremony, backstage celebration, hotel rest adjustment, Oscar night red carpet, carnival party.

In the whole process, an actor needs to change at least two sets of clothes, while top actors even need to change three or even four sets, and may even need to change the matching makeup and style-including actors and actresses.

Especially the hotel rest adjustment time after the award ceremony is over. For the losers, this is an important breathing space for the losers to adjust their mood, recover their state, and welcome the grand occasion of Oscar night with a new attitude; it is also an important breathing space for the actresses to re-dress their makeup. The key buffer zone to surprise the audience, the fierce competition is even worse than the Oscar red carpet.

"Variety" magazine once made an incomplete statistics. The average cost of an actress to attend the Oscar night, from head to makeup, from nails to clothing, inside and out, up and down, needs at least $200,000. This does not include jewelry. And the cost of male actors is only slightly cheaper, because the prices of accessories such as cuffs and watches are relatively not that expensive.

For those eighteenth-line actors, assuming the invitation is free, then $50,000 is the minimum standard. This is the biggest party in the United States, and this is also the moment when they shine in the audience. No one wants to appear on the stage in a very shabby manner, otherwise, even if it is an occasion where opportunities are everywhere, they may return empty-handed.

It is definitely no joke to go to the bank for a loan to attend a party, or even bankrupt.

Therefore, before officially heading to the Oscar night party, Lan Li first arrived at the hotel, washed and rested, changed clothes, adjusted slightly, and then went out again to attend the party. For convenience, Lanly chose the Hollywood Hilton Hotel.

This Hilton hotel is no stranger to Hollywood people. The annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony is held here. It takes less than ten minutes to drive to the Sunset Tower Hotel, where the Oscars are held. In addition to Lanli, many actors and industry insiders have chosen this place as a short stay.

The Sunset Tower Hotel is located on the west side of Hollywood Boulevard. After leaving the Dolby Theater, walk straight to the west. After walking on Hollywood Boulevard, you will enter the Sunset Boulevard and continue straight ahead. At the end of the road is the Sunset Tower Hotel.

In the prime golden age of Hollywood, there were countless luxury villas on both sides of the Sunset Boulevard, gathering many top producers, actors, directors, screenwriters, and production company owners. It was the ultimate place of dreams, and later this bustling Gradually transferred to Beverly Hills, and then further transferred to Malibu, Sunset Boulevard gradually declined.

In 195o, a noir film "Sunset Boulevard", written and directed by a generation of masters, vividly and truly recorded the rise and fall of Hollywood and the symbolic significance of Sunset Boulevard. Even now, half a century later, it is still a complete film history. classic.

The current Sunset Boulevard is still spacious, straight and bright, planted with palm trees, flooded with sunshine, and full of comfort. However, compared with the glory of the golden age, it has gradually fallen down and has gradually evolved into a tourist attraction, flooded with Intertwined tourists and surging impetuousness.

The Sunset Tower Hotel, located at the west end of Sunset Boulevard, has witnessed the historical process of Hollywood's full-scale commercialization and rapid soaring. It has become another historic landmark on this piece of Vanity Fair, and every year’s Oscar night They are all held here, and they have become a place of pilgrimage for many new actors and actresses.

After leaving the Hollywood Hilton, heading all the way north along Santa Monica Boulevard. Just after going out, the car had to stop because the mighty long queue of cars stretched all the way down the steep hillside, empty and deserted. The avenue suddenly became a parking lot for countless luxury cars, densely extending for more than half a mile, and the celebrities who came to the party were waiting patiently.

Before arriving at the Sunset Tower Hotel, this long dragon could already see the colorful glitz.

It took about twenty minutes before I followed the road signs and slowly came to the hillside diagonally opposite the Sunset Tower Hotel. The staff in uniforms immediately greeted us and confirmed the parking on the dashboard. After that, he confirmed the passengers in the car, but did not ask for an invitation letter. He smiled and said to the driver, "Welcome to Oscar night."
