In the blink of an eye, two months have passed in 2006, officially entering March, the upcoming Oscars ceremony on March 5 undoubtedly carries the weight of all the focus, the end of the Oscars not only means that the disturbances in 2005 have officially come to an end, but also means that the summer heat wave of 2006 has been in sight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On March 1, the Academy announced the fifth and final batch of guest lists, which are usually difficult to cause a topic but attracted more than 80 media reports, and an unusual tension slowly spread across the North American continent, and everyone tried to find the same name on this list, not Robert Altman, who was confirmed to be present to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award, but the man who disappeared throughout the awards season but was always on the cusp. Lancelot-Strello.

But this time, people were disappointed again, and the familiar name still didn't appear. Although the spokesperson of the college said that there are still hidden guests who have not been announced, they hope to surprise all the audience on the night of the award ceremony; But almost no one thought that this surprise would be the answer they were expecting, and it seemed that all signs indicated that Lance was going to miss this year's Oscars, even if the "fruit hard candy" was shocking, even if the competition for best supporting actor was fierce, even if the battle for the golden man had entered the white heat, but ...... It seems that Lance is still going to be absent.

This would have been unthinkable just a few months ago.

If the Best Supporting Actor award was awarded to Lance, but Lance was absent, then who would receive the award that night, and more importantly, the Oscar, which has grown into the world's most important film comprehensive awards ceremony since the 90s, was rejected miserably, where should the face be placed? The same goes for other awards, especially highlights like Best Picture and Best Director.

If the award for Best Supporting Actor was given to George Clooney, in Lance's absence, does that mean that Lance's wariness of the Academy, the East Coast's suspicion of the Academy, and the media's condemnation of the Academy are all real? Under the premise of the burglarization scandal, Hollywood is still on George's side, how do people feel about the ugliness and squalor of this money game?

What if the award for Best Supporting Actor was given to another contender, Jack Gyllenhaal? Paul Giamati? Matt Dillon? So will it be able to quell the controversy? But does this mean that Lance has been completely out of contact with the Oscar statuette since then? After being hurt by the plagiarism door, Lance and the academy broke up, so where is the moral bottom line?

As an annual event, the Oscars even have the ability to affect the schedule of the whole year, and its commercial value, artistic value, and social influence are unique. Some people may disdain the little golden man, this is a game, but no one can deny that the added value of the little golden man has penetrated all corners of the world. Oscar now has this unbeatable power of King's Landing.

But who would have thought that this game would be mired in a quagmire because of the rules of the game and the unspoken rules of society, and no one can condemn the rules, and no one can condemn the party that makes the rules, so who should be condemned? Condemn Lance? Condemn George? Or condemn Warner Bros. and Chaos Pictures, who are behind the scenes? Or do you condemn the recalcitrant but pretentious old pedants of the Academy?

Maybe it's all and maybe it's neither, but what is certain is that now that the voting is over, the list of winners has been released, it is impossible to change the result, and condemning anyone will not solve the problem, and what should be thought about is: if Lance is really absent from the Oscars, how will it end? How should media opinion be guided after the award ceremony? How should crisis public relations be handled?

After the academy announced the last batch of guest lists, not only the gossip-keen news media, not only Hollywood insiders, but even those respected academy veterans all cast their eyes, curious about what the reaction of Chaos Pictures would be, and curious about whether there would be the latest news from Lance - although in the eyes of the outside world, this is the academy's tricks, but well-informed people in the industry know that even the academy has not received any definite answers, There is still no movement on the part of Chaos Pictures.

The news media immediately blocked Green Ridge Street, and the major brokerage companies, public relations companies, and film companies began to inquire more or less about the news here, but everyone was disappointed, and Chaos Pictures gave an official response, which was still a leaky polite scene, "Lance is engrossed in filming a new film, and he will do his best to rush back to Los Angeles, but he can't make any promises." It would be a big shame for Reims to be absent. We will let you know as soon as there is any latest news. ”

It's March 1st, and there are only four days left until the awards ceremony. Lance's last-minute hopes of returning to Los Angeles are getting slimmer.

On the second day, there was no news; For three days, there was still no news; On the fourth day, there was still no news. In the blink of an eye, the fifth day is here, and the annual Oscars will kick off tonight.

Perhaps, the invincible Oscar is really going to be slapped in the face.

Early in the morning, Javier Ulliel arrived at the Roosevelt Hotel diagonally opposite the Kodak Theater, although it was still early in the morning, the red carpet was peaceful, only a few staff members were setting up the equipment for live broadcasting, and even the noise was lightened, as if it could not bear to wake up the city, but the media center arranged on the third floor was already extremely lively, and a casual sweep could see fifty or sixty media workers coming in and out, talking one after another, as if a jet was whistling by.

Cheerfully greeted his acquaintances casually, and quickly arrived at the New York Times' work compartment, where the New York Times sent six other staff members, each with different job responsibilities, to work together to complete the coverage of the Oscars.

"Andy, is the press gallery arranged?" Javier has participated in the Oscars for the third year in a row, and he has long been accustomed to these processes, and he is familiar with the inquiry.

According to the habit of previous years, both sides of the red carpet will be the press gallery, completely free and open, if you want to occupy a favorable position, reporters must arrive at the scene in advance, and then seize the space, to seek the most suitable position for their own play, so often the major newspapers are sent more than four interview teams, can use the team's advantages to attack collectively, can also disperse forces to wait for the opportunity to move.

However, this year is more special, the guest lineup is really lacking highlights, the biggest names are Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks and Dustin Hoffman, and the nominees are not able to make a buzz, Lance's potential absence may be even worse. Therefore, to avoid the cold scene of the red carpet, ABC TV is ready to divide the interview area and distribute the media power from the official standpoint.

Javier's colleague shook his head, "Canceled, many media outlets protested, demanding the right to freely interview the target tasks we desired." So in the end, it was canceled. This answer made Javier stunned and embarrassed, and his colleague was keenly aware of it, "What? Are there any surprises? ”

Javier scratched his head and said hesitantly, "I'm going to go to the airport......"

But before he finished speaking, a reporter next to him asked, "Is Lance coming back?" The sound seemed to pierce a hornet's nest, and the eyes of all the reporters around them turned in unison, and even the noise gradually calmed down.

Peers know about the close relationship between Javier and Reims, and in the absence of any inside information at the moment, any slight disturbance could attract everyone's attention, let alone Javier.

Javier's voice got stuck in his throat, and finally turned into a helpless smile, "No, I didn't receive any inside information. But the reporters' eyes were full of suspicion, obviously not believing this statement, Javier shrugged his shoulders, "You should have all heard about it, but there is no movement on Theron's side, and I don't know more than you." ”

Charlize Theron was shortlisted for the actress race, and although it was widely believed that the chances of winning the title again after a year were slim, and Charlize was absent from the entire awards season because of the "furious road", it was believed that Charlize would not miss the opportunity to show off the Oscars. What is surprising is that as of yesterday, Charlize is still like a pool of stagnant water, and there is no news update, so that people's intention to spy on the filming of the "Fury Road" crew through Charlize has completely failed.

The eyes of his peers remained unwavering, and Javier said helplessly, "I just want to try my luck at the airport, that's all." If you don't believe me, you're all free, and the road to the airport doesn't need my navigation. Javier spread his hands and said with a single hand.

In fact, not only Javier, but also many reporters chose to go to the airport today and wait for the rabbit. Not only because they always had a glimmer of hope that Lance would attend the Oscars after all; It is also because they want to be able to grasp the trend of things at the first time, even if Lance is really sure to be absent from the Oscars, they can confirm it at the airport and release relevant reports as soon as possible. What's more, the Oscars red carpet doesn't start until five o'clock in the afternoon, and they have plenty of time for other work.

Decided not to pay attention to his other colleagues, Javier patted his colleague on the shoulder, "I'm going to the airport, I'll be back at three o'clock in the afternoon." Something called my phone. With that, Javier picked up his camera bag, which he had not opened at all, and left the media center.

The rest of the reporters stood on the ground and looked at each other, and then one after another people began to turn away, and the media center was still bustling, but the international airport south of downtown Los Angeles quietly began to bustle. (To be continued.) )
