Javier parked his car in the parking lot of Los Angeles International Airport and walked over to the shuttle train that operated between the terminals, a little dazed, because the airport is divided into areas by airlines, take-off and landing, and he didn't know where to wait without being sure of the airlines. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, if he arrives at the Delta Air Lines terminal, and Lance agrees that Air France arrives in Los Angeles - if Lance does show up - then he can't block Lance at all, and even if it takes at least five to ten minutes to drive between the terminals of the two airlines, there is nothing he can do but stay where he is like a fool.

Namibia doesn't have direct flights to Los Angeles and has to make a transfer, but there are countless places where you can do it, with several major cities in Europe and Africa that can do just that, which means that Reims could choose either way.

He was bent on going to the airport to get first-hand information, and he didn't think about the details clearly at all, and now he couldn't help but feel a headache -- the possibility of Lance appearing in Los Angeles today was very small, and now because of the relationship between the terminals, the probability of reducing the chances of blocking Lance at the first time is simply a big Russian turntable. Looking at the wide driveway between the terminals, Javier raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

After a few spins around in his mind, Javier finally decided to bet on British Airways, which he still thinks is the most likely, not only the most flights, but also the most convenient.

When Javier arrived at British Airways' arrival in the arrivals hall, he scanned the space and couldn't help but smile. At this time, there were many people standing bustling in the reception hall, and in addition to the ordinary people who came to pick up the airport, there were at least 30 reporters scattered in various corners, and it seemed that there were many reporters who held similar ideas.

If you think about it, this is just the British Airways terminal, if you add the other terminals...... It's hard to imagine how many journalists came to LAX today to gamble their luck. Today is the annual prosperity of Hollywood, the world's attention, more than 1,000 relevant staff from more than 180 media will gather at the Kodak Theater, busy from morning to early morning, but now, it is incredible that so many reporters are running to the airport to "do nothing".

If Javier hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. How far has Lance's influence reached such heights?

Even if it is said that whether Lance attends the Oscars or not, this is not only the influence of Lance alone, but also the influence of the academy and the influence of major film companies, but ...... It's still a surprise - no one has ever received so much attention for missing the Oscars, and it's clear that the star-studded Oscar red carpet is more reportable than a single person, and even Woody Allen, who has consistently refused to attend the Oscars, has not been able to enjoy such treatment.

Looking at the time, a flight from Heathrow will land here at 12.55pm, and if Lance really wants to attend the Oscars, then this is the last minute. After all, attending the Oscars is not just about arriving at the scene, Lance also needs to redress and change his clothes, especially after an eleven hours of long flight, he needs time to rest and adjust, and he also needs time to prepare carefully.

"Do you think Lance will really miss tonight's ceremony?" Not far away, two reporters walked over in pairs, took out cigarettes from their pockets, apparently intending to go outside the door to enjoy a cigarette break, the tall man on the left asked casually.

The short man standing on the right shrugged his shoulders, "Why not?" Woody has been absent from the Oscars, but the academy still gave him a golden man. ”

"But Lance isn't Woody." The tall man retorted.

"I admire Lance more than Woody. Woody was just pretentious, but Lance was a smart man, talented, personal, persistent, and wise, and even an old fox like Barry Meyer was in his hands...... "The short man's words were blown away by the wind, and then the automatic door that closed again blocked out all sounds, and could not be heard.

"Hey, Javier." Another voice walked into the pick-up hall and saw the person coming, it was Nancy Black of the "Chicago Tribune", she and Javier are also old acquaintances, "Are you also coming to besiege Lance?" Haha, sure enough, you're the same as I thought. ”

"Do you think Lance will show up?" Javier asked.

"That's the answer everyone is curious about, isn't it?" Nancy turned her head to look around and let out a long exhale, "I just came from Virgin's, there were more than twenty people gathered there, and I didn't expect there to be more here. Nancy put down her camera bag on her shoulder, "To be honest, I personally don't think Lance will show up." Leaving aside the fact that 'Hard Candy' didn't have a good job of the academy PR throughout the awards season - although I think this is the deciding factor, Lance is a smart guy and he can't be absent if he has the chance of winning an award - on top of that, I believe that Lance is indeed the one who puts in the work and is fully engrossed, and we all know very well how important the production is that 'Fury Road' is a production, neither Lance nor Chaos Pictures can afford to fail, not to mention, Lance is a madman,' It can be seen from the 'Kill with a Knife' period that he will not allow any potential to ruin the entire work. ”

"I know, I know." Javier had no way to refute, he knew Lance, so he knew that what Nancy said was right, "Still, I always think what if 'Fury Road' is finished......"

The follow-up words Javier didn't continue, Nancy smiled and nodded, "It's a possibility, after all, the movie has been set." However, no one knows the answer, and the whole of Hollywood is curious, isn't it? Turning his head to see, several reporters arrived at the reception hall one after another, and the ordinary people around had already noticed the abnormality, and the sound of discussion in the ear to ear made the temperature in the room begin to rise slowly.

"Phew, if Lance does miss tonight's ceremony, it will be a real overshadowing." Xavier sighed, but he didn't know if it was because the surging of the reporters on the scene reflected their mentality towards Lance, or because the red carpet was pale because of the lack of Lance as a topic of conversation.

"The old pedants of the academy must think the same way." Nancy gloated.

Javier smiled dumbly, "I don't think so, even if they think so in their hearts, they will definitely not admit it." After all, everyone loves the Oscars, but the Oscars can't function without anyone. The latter sentence was full of ridicule and ridicule, and Nancy laughed along with it, a statement that has been circulating rapidly in journalist circles recently.

In fact, the reporters are the biggest winners, and in Lance's absence, they can watch the jokes of the academy - such opportunities do not come every year; Lance was there, and they could watch more jokes — George Clooney, the red carpet, Best Supporting Actor, and the Best Picture race.

"I hate it so much, but I can't love it, this kind of taste...... Tsk tsk. Nancy's words were not regretful at all, and the faint smile could not be hidden at all.

"Landed, planes landed." The shouts caused a commotion, Javier and Nancy hurriedly looked at the big screen, sure enough, the flight from Heathrow Airport had just landed, and everyone was excited in an instant, and the reporters swarmed towards the exit railing, Javier only noticed at this time that the reporters on the scene were far more than thirty, at least sixty people, this number is really terrifying, even the active pick-up airport who usually knows the flight, there may not be so many people.

But Javier will not wait here stupidly, he held his camera in his right hand, quickly squeezed out of the crowd, and trotted towards the ground staff standing not far away, there were several reporters with similar ideas to him, and soon the ground staff were surrounded by groups, "Ask, quick, you use the walkie-talkie to ask, is Lance on this flight from London?" The ground staff was stunned and didn't seem to be able to react at all, "Lancelot Strello, he's coming to Los Angeles, hurry!" Javier didn't care, and just raised his voice.

As soon as the name was spoken, a small circle of people around gasped, and then the crowd began to stir, almost everyone's face flashed with excitement, the air was boiling more and more, it seemed that it was not much from the boiling point, every corner of the line of sight was jumping, and the dust flying under the light was swept into a gust of air current, turning wildly, giving people the illusion that a tornado was coming.

The ground staff was also so excited that they hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to contact their colleagues, and for a while, the news of Lance's arrival at the Los Angeles airport spread rapidly as if it had grown wings, and the entire airport was filled with a kind of restlessness that could not be calmed down, as if the midsummer of June had come early.

The news went around in a big circle, and the positive response of the flight attendant on the flight quickly came back, "No, Lance was not on this flight." ”

In an instant, a bucket of cold water was poured down, and the blazing bonfire was immediately extinguished, leaving not even a single spark left. They still didn't wait for a miracle after all, and missed this one flight, and Lance's hope of appearing at the Oscars was so slim that it was almost invisible.

Although Javier knew that whether Lance was present or not would not have an impact on reporters, and he was even a little gloating because of Lance's absence, but when he really realized that Lance would not appear, a strong sense of loss still came flooding, and it seemed that even the Oscar red carpet had no appeal.

"A lot of people have left, what about you?" Nancy walked up to Javier and pointed to the reporters who were leaving the theater one after another, and they still had to rush back to Hollywood Boulevard to prepare for the main event of the evening.

Javier stood in place, his eyes blankly looking at the reporters around him who were packing up their equipment, his fists clenched involuntarily, and before his brain could think, the words blurted out, "I'll wait, I'll continue to wait here." ”

He has to wait for the rabbit and never give up until the last moment. (To be continued.) )
