At half past three, the presences officially closed off the streets, with Hollywood Boulevard as the center, two streets in the east, west, south and north, completely closed to vehicular traffic, and crowds near North Highland Street were also forbidden to enter.

Even so, more than 4,500 people had gathered in the vicinity of the entire scene, and the street of Highland North Street alone was packed with nearly 2,000 spectators, almost breathless. And that's just what you can see, in the buildings, in the underground parking lots, in the bars on the street, and there are many more to the enthusiastic crowd that is watching nearby.

Is this the night that makes history? Maybe, maybe not, is this the night of the showdown? Certainly not, is this the night of the stars and the stars? Definitely. As a result, the atmosphere detonated and the heat wave ignited.

4 p.m. West Coast time, 7 p.m. East Coast time. The red carpet of the 84th Academy Awards has officially kicked off!

Needless to say, tonight is indeed a big name and a lot of show!

Tina-Fey, who was the first to appear, became the unveiling guest of tonight's feast, the first to walk on the red carpet.

This comedy talent has blossomed and risen in an all-round way this year in many aspects such as screenwriter, actor, producer and host, and has successively grabbed a place with "Saturday Night Live" and "I'm a Comedy Maniac", which is widely known and popular. After the debut, it successfully caused a scream and cheer, and not only the audience, but also the reporters couldn't wait to press the shutter and exclaim.

Without any warm-up, the atmosphere at the scene began to boil.

After that, familiar faces such as Sean Bean, Penelope Cruz, James Cromwell (James-Cormaell), Rose Byrne and other familiar faces appeared, and the shouts of the scene were endless, and it was only the beginning of the first half of the red carpet that the Kodak Theater was already feeling the rush of the fever.

When George Clooney appeared on the stage, the Oscars ushered in the first high/tide of the night!

Everyone knows that the choice of evening dresses for the guests attending the ceremony, this is the iron-blooded battlefield of bayonets and death, and it is rumored that an actress attending the Oscars, the $100,000 installation fee is just the minimum standard, and for those second- and third-tier actresses, even if they are invited, this investment is a heavy burden.

But in fact, at the Oscars, the red carpet appearance time is also very particular, which can be called a war that cannot be seen.

Generally speaking, the second half is better than the first, the middle period is better than the beginning and the end, and the so-called finale and big axis are not the last moments, but fifteen or twenty minutes before the end of the red carpet. And so on and so forth.

As the most important film festival in the United States and the world, every guest attending the Oscars has a background, and there are countless top names, and in the 90-minute red carpet, an average of 5 to 10 minutes may witness the appearance of a superstar, dazzling and overwhelming.

Therefore, the order of appearance of artists and artists is exquisite. Before the awards ceremony, the artists' publicists and agents will continue to exchange information, discuss with the main committee, and they will also complete the communication in private to confirm the appearance time of their artists.

Specifically, it can be accurate to the 10-minute range.

For example, if you choose to appear after George Clooney, it is estimated that the stars will be dim and no one will pay attention, and if you are unlucky, let alone TV interviews, even the on-site interviews and photo shoots will be further compressed, and it seems that half of the appearance has not existed at all.

For another example, when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie appeared, Jennifer Aniston would not have been present for thirty minutes before and after, not only to avoid interviewing and asking questions, but also to avoid any form of being in the same frame as much as possible.

For example, an invited singer, or TV actor, or model, can attract more attention by taking the stage first in the relatively idle time of the first half.

Tonight, Chinese actor Li/Bing/Bing was released by Fox Searchlight because of her role in "Snowflake Secret Fan", and then teamed up with Harvey Weinstein to attend the Oscars.

The surface of peace and happiness is actually turbulent and gorgeous, not only the evening dress of female artists, not only the luxury car that debuts, not only the appearance time, but even the location of the photo area and the questions interviewed by reporters, every detail and every link, this is the focus of the open and secret fight.

This is the Oscar. It's not the Golden Globes, it's not the Emmys, it's not the Grammys, it's not Toronto, it's not Berlin, it's not Cannes...... It's the Oscars, the one-of-a-kind, much-anticipated Oscars.

Although Lan Li has never attended the Oscars, today is the first time, but for him, he is no stranger at all. This is the case in London's high society, as if Arthur made a special appointment with Lan Li, informed the Hall couple of their appearance time, and then asked Lan Li to actively avoid it, which is actually the same reason.

The difference is that the public relations and management of the upper class are cleverly hidden under the glossy skin, while the calculations and struggles of Hollywood are fully revealed under the spotlight and spotlight.

However, all of this has also made Oscar a vanity fair that countless people are eager to see. A real big hit!

Hope restlessly banged on the railing, and from time to time he looked left and right like a little flea, unable to settle down for even three seconds.

William and Graham, who were standing on the side, exchanged glances, their eyes full of helplessness, "Hope, you should calm down." Didn't Andy say in an interview that Lan Li would definitely attend the award ceremony this year, it was just a matter of time. ”

"That's right, it's a matter of time!" Hope shouted out, only then did he realize that he was out of control, and quickly suppressed his voice, and said in a low voice, "Why hasn't Lan Li appeared yet? The red carpet has already passed halfway! But there is still no movement at all, I just saw a large swarm of bees competing for beauty!"

The vivid expression made the people around him laugh, and Hope also shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, "I'm just stating the facts." No intention to target anyone. Then he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Jesus Christ, when will the Blue Rite appear? Do you think he will simply be absent?"

Above the crystal clear sky, the sunset is still burning vigorously, and it is still a long time before nightfall, but the progress of the red carpet is progressing in an orderly manner.

Rooney Mara is on the scene, Jessica Chastain is on the scene, Melissa McCarthy is on the scene, Wim Wenders is on the scene, Steven Spielberg is on the scene, Emma Stone is on the scene, Robert Downey Jr. is on the scene, Gwyneth Paltrow is on the scene, Michelle Williams is on the scene......

This list can still be counted endlessly, wave after wave of high/tide tides, in full swing, intoxicated, the entire Kodak Theater has fallen into madness, the crowd watching on both sides, the reporters on both sides of the interview, the team filming on the red carpet, and the artists themselves who walked on the red carpet, every face is filled with a cheerful and excited look, reflecting the orange delicate sunset, blooming with a happy light, making people involuntarily want to wander in it and enjoy it.

However, Lan Li still did not appear.

According to the practice of other award ceremonies in the past, Lan Li is often more inclined to appear in the first half, avoiding the noise and attention of the second half as much as possible, and walking through the red carpet in a low-key and generous manner to complete his debut. But today, the first half has ended, and the second half has passed for a while, Hope still didn't see Lan Li's figure, and his emotions couldn't help but become anxious.

"It would be great if Lan Li could see it, but even if he can't see it, we'll show it to the journalists, to show it to everyone. I believe that Lanli will feel our sincerity and sincerity. William clenched his fists and cheered him on, convincing Hope and convincing himself.

At this moment, at the end of North Highland Street, there was a sudden rush of frantic screams and shouts, and the noise and noise that was about to get out of control interrupted the conversation between Hope and William, and they also reflexively cast their eyes: Could it be Lan Li who appeared?

Under the focus and attention of countless eyes, the black stretch car slowly drove by, Hope drooped his shoulders in disappointment, and in the midst of a piercing scream and crazy roar, Hope did not give any face to the disappointment, causing Tessa who was standing on the side to laugh, "Brad Pitt will definitely be sad if he sees it." ”

Now arriving at the scene, it is none other than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The couple has become Hollywood's most powerful couple, and their every move can stir up turbulence. At tonight's Oscars, Brad will once again hit the two little statuettes of Best Actor and Best Picture - "Moneyball" and "Tree of Life", both of which he served as a producer.

There is no doubt that the appearance of Brad and Angelina made for the craziest and hottest cheers of the night.

But Hope was absent-minded, didn't buy it at all, and let out a long breath, "I guess Lan Li will have to wait a little longer." "Brad has just debuted, and he's in the limelight, and whoever comes on the stage next is bound to be overshadowed. It is conceivable that the order of Lan Li's appearance is bound to be backward and backward.

Waiting, always tormenting.

Hope pursed his mouth in annoyance, with "unhappy" written on his face, and looked boredly at the next stretch car that arrived at the scene, wondering which unlucky guy was actually following Hollywood's first couple.

Then, Hope saw Lan Li.
