When she realized what a special day next Sunday was, Eva felt that her mind was a little too much to turn, and she subconsciously covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming—more frightening than joy. Eva spun the words in her head again, and after making sure that she was not mistaken, she said cautiously, "So, sir! Eva deliberately emphasized the title, and then she heard Lance's chuckle on the other end of the line.

There's no denying that magnetic chuckle that's charming...... But, she's not interested, she's not interested at all, not at all. "I would like to ask, is this invitation as a director, or as a friend?" Eva tried to soften her tone so that she didn't seem too nervous or fussy - but the problem was that it was all incredible!

The identity of the director, which means that it is an unspoken rule, so what should she do? Should she say yes? Or should you ask about the broker? If it's an unspoken rule, does it mean that after the Oscars are over, there will be a follow-up? But why the Oscars? When I auditioned and was in the crew, the unspoken rules didn't happen, but now that the movies are finished, will Lance delete all the shots he shot?

The identity of a friend, which means...... Friend, so is this a date? Why did Lance ask himself out? She's not interested in him at all, he's not her type at all! If not dating, then what's going on? Or did you make yourself amorous?

Lance's eyebrows lifted slightly, and he could hear the rich emotions in Eva's voice—although he couldn't make out all of them, there seemed to be a hint of foreboding in his tone. Re-filtered his mind through what he had just said, could it be that he was asking in the wrong way?

"Friends. Friends, of course. Lance's voice was relaxed, with a hint of a smile.

"Oh." Eva sighed lightly, the emotions were so complicated that people couldn't tell them clearly, and then Eva also realized her faux pas, and hurriedly covered it up, "Friends, of course friends." She repeated Lance's words, "Thank you, sir, for the invitation, I mean, I'm honored. The mere use of the word "sir" made the previous sentence so strange that Lance knew what was going to happen next, even if he didn't need to go on, "but I don't think I was right for the occasion." Still, I would like to thank you for having me. ”

Although it is said that attending the Oscars is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Eva really doesn't care too much, as a French-born actor, the pride of European actors is still hidden in their bones, after all, they are young. "Thank you very much!" Eva repeated, "I'm in the middle of the exercise right now, please forgive me for my faux pas and we'll talk about it next time." With that, Eva hung up.

"How's that, how's that?" Gawain asked with great interest, he couldn't hear Eva's words just now, and only judged the clues from Lance's words, with a hint of expectation in the words, and a little bit of schadenfreude.

Lance didn't answer immediately, with a little confusion between his eyebrows, he paused for a moment, and whispered, "She refused." Stunned, he turned to look at Gawain and Ian, "Didn't I make it clear?" ”

In an instant, Gawain clapped his hands and laughed, and the whole person was simply overjoyed, and fell directly from the sofa to the ground; Ian also laughed out loud at this time, it was rare to see Lance deflated once, especially after leaving Diorama Pictures, it had been a long, long time since he saw Lance's dazed expression in the past two years, which made Ian also give no face at all, and let go of his taunting skills to his heart's content.

The only pity is that Theo was not there.

Looking at Gawain and Ian, who were laughing heartily, Lance pursed his lips helplessly, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Time seems to be speeding up, but it seems to be slowing down as the awards season is approaching, and the tension that pervades Los Angeles is filling the air with the rising tide of people, as if the whole city is beginning to come alive. To be more precise, not just one city, but the whole of America is busy with the upcoming event. Because the bowstring was so tight that when February 27 actually came, it became a little loose, and I couldn't get nervous at all for a while.

But this mood only lasted for a morning, when the afternoon sun sprinkled down, the slowed pace was once again accelerated at a tenfold speed, and the nervous mood began to spread over the city in a hundredfold attitude, so dense that it was almost suffocating, even the warm sunshine and translucent blue sky of Los Angeles could not alleviate the situation, time was like a grain of sand, the tighter the grip, the faster it fell, and before it even had time to react, there was not much time left before the red carpet was unveiled.

Nancy Black felt her heart go paralyzed and took a big deep breath, but the blood still couldn't help but start to speed up - Oscar, it's coming!

In just one year, Nancy has become one of the top Los Angeles reporters for the Chicago Tribune, and she will never forget last year's Oscars, not only because it was the stage on which she proved herself, but also because of the excellent coverage of the 76th Oscars, she won trust and grew up quickly; And because it was her famous work, she recorded the wonderful moment of Lancelot Strello's first appearance on the red carpet on the red carpet, which became a hot topic in major newspapers after the ceremony.

A year later, standing at the door of the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Avenue again, Nancy thought she would start to adapt, but it didn't, she was still excited, still novel, and still nervous. Turning his head and looking around, there are some unfamiliar faces, but more familiar faces - the journalist industry has a high elimination rate, but once you stay, the retirement rate is very low. Even the veteran reporters who have participated in more than a dozen Oscars still have excitement on their faces and can't wait to participate in this grand event.

"Hey, Nancy, thank you for your help." A brisk voice came from beside her, and even without looking back, Nancy knew it was Javier Ulliel. Javier went to the bathroom just now to solve the three emergencies, so he asked Nancy to help take care of his equipment, "Whew, although it is the second time to participate, I still have no experience." "A really seasoned reporter won't drink too much water from noon, so as to avoid dropping the chain at a critical moment, and after entering the infield, the situation will be much better," Fortunately, you can help! ”

Nancy looked at Javier's shiny bald head and waved her hand, even if she had just uncovered the help just now, "I thought that after experiencing it once, I would become accustomed to it the second time, but obviously, this idea is wrong." ”

"Everything is brand new, isn't it?" Javier could see it, and said with a chuckle, feeling Nancy's curious eyes, and Xavier explained, "Every year, a new group of people emerges in Hollywood, a group of old people are eliminated, and even those who remain will take on a new look." Because, this is Hollywood. ”

Nancy's eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood. This is the Shura field with the highest elimination rate, here is the vanity fair where you don't advance or retreat, and here is the Hollywood that rises in the face of the rising sun and disappears in the sunset, so every year is new. As an entertainment journalist who has only been in the industry for less than three years, Javier's perspective on things is always so different, it's no wonder that his blog can become a beautiful landscape in the entertainment industry.

"So, what do you think Lance's new look is this year?" Nancy and Javier became good friends, and the biggest reason was that both of them relied on Lance to rise, which became their favorite topic of discussion.

Javier reconfirmed his tripod and said with a smile, "Actor." "Just one word is enough to sum up everyone's thoughts, and it was almost the biggest surprise that Reims had last year." So what do you think? ”

"I have no way to argue with that." Nancy spread her hands, "Still, I'm curious to see which female companion Lance will bring with him this year." ”

"Female companion?" Javier chewed on this sentence and glanced at Nancy meaningfully, sure enough, women are more sensitive to gossip in this regard, of course, men are also very concerned about the wind/flow/rhyme/affairs, "Keira Knightley, I think it must be her." ”

"Don't forget, Jessica is still starring in Lance's latest production." Nancy stresses that while she's not sure if it's Sin City or Crusaders vs. Zombies, "she's Lance's muse, there's no doubt about it." ”

"That's not what I've heard." Javier shook his head, an unfathomable expression. But apparently Nancy didn't buy it at all, and just scoffed and looked away. Another reporter's voice came from the side, "I don't think it's Kayla or Jessica, it's probably a new face." Javier and Nancy both turned their heads, and the reporter looked left and right, as if he was worried about someone eavesdropping, before he lowered his voice and said, "Eva Green! This is the muse of Reims's new work, both of them. Referring to "Sin City" and "Crusaders vs. Zombies," he said, "Besides, with Lance's charisma, I wouldn't find it strange that he changes dates every day." After saying that, the reporter exchanged glances with Javier, revealing a look that only understood between men, which made Nancy completely speechless.

At the 77th Academy Awards, Lance is not the protagonist, the real protagonist is someone else, it is Clint Eastwood, who is both nominated for director and actor, Martin Scorsese, who is competing for the golden man again, Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio who are on the tip of the needle, and Hilary Swank and Annette Bening who are destined to reincarnate each other......

But even so, when Lance appeared at the beginning of the red carpet, all the reporters' cameras were focused on him. Nancy looked left and right, only to see Lance's lonely figure, first confused, then guessed, and finally Nancy's eyes showed a hint of sudden realization. (To be continued.) )
