Chapter 278: The Phantom of the Red Carpet
As the 81st Academy Awards approaches, various warm-up activities are in full swing in Los Angeles. The Oscars may not be as glamorous as in previous years, but in its own way, it is telling people that the feast of the film industry will continue.
"Due to the financial crisis, the budgets of many events to celebrate the Oscars have been 'shrunk' to varying degrees. Some events have even cut budgets by 75 percent. In the past, the Oscars would start with a short montage as a retrospective of the past year's films, and this year they will also have a short montage at the end to look forward to the new films in the future. β
With a cigar in his mouth, Ex leisurely opened a bottle of red wine in his office, and two goblets sat on his desk.
"Isn't it forbidden to broadcast movie commercials at the Oscars?" Lin Mingyang still habitually "occupied" the seat that originally belonged to Ex.
Acks handed Lin Mingyang a glass of poured red wine, and corrected his statement by the way: "It's a new product outlook, not a movie advertisement."
Lin Mingyang took the wine glass and asked unceremoniously: "Is there a difference between the two?" β
"Back last month, the producers of the Oscars sent invitations to major studios, hoping that they could provide relevant material for the production of this minute-long finale. This short film will cover highlights from 24 films, each of which is 10 seconds long. At that time, the video will be shown in a split-screen manner at the time of subtitles. β
"It's a good publicity opportunity, which films are you going to arrange to show your face in that short film this time?"
Ex lit his cigar and took a puff with a satisfied expression: "The major studios are cutting back on expenses, and the deep-pocketed Warners have only bought 4 films, and the producers of the Oscars are trying their best to sell them, and when he finally found me, he still had 6 films left in his hand... I'm willing to help him solve it all at once, on the condition that our new film must be placed at the very beginning of the whole short film, "New Sherlock Holmes", "Answer the Future", "Tales of the Night 2", "Phantom of Peril", "Warcraft" and "Avatar", just enough to be full. β
Lin Mingyang put his feet on Ackes's desk, the whole person reclined on the chair, he shook the red wine in the glass, and said slowly: "The release of "Warcraft" is still very far away, as for "Avatar"... It's hard to say that Cameron will continue to bounce this year"
Ex said categorically: "My deadline for Cameron is the end of this year, and Fox has also issued him an ultimatum, no matter what, this film must be released within the year"
Probably thinking that there was no point in continuing to discuss this topic, Lin Mingyang changed his tone and asked: "Is there a guest list for today's Oscars?" β
"Actually, you want to ask which female celebrities will be there." Ex saw through Lin Mingyang's mind at a glance, "The guest list of this year's Oscars is very tightly covered by the organizing committee... The latest news in my hand is that Angelina Jolie will definitely go, and the more famous ones are Annie Etherway, Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Aniston... By the way, and Natalie Portman, she's a close friend of Scarlett Johansson, and if you want to make out with so-and-so, it's best to avoid her."
The corners of Lin Mingyang's mouth raised a rather playful evil smile, "Don't forget, I just finished playing James Bond, and for the beautiful agent who came undercover, there is no word 'refusal' in Bond's dictionary"

As a film festival that attracts global attention, the red carpet of the Oscars has a long history as a vane of fashion dressing. Since the late 90s, the red carpet of the Oscars has entered the "fashion **", every year there are all kinds of dizzying and amazed in the global attention of this hour and a half, and this "Oscar-style" global fashion effect in the new millennium is simply like a rainbow of momentum intensifying, star effect, big name competition, luxury piles, fashion trends and graceful youth are blooming here.
In recent years, the Oscar red carpet basically represents the change of fashion trends, and every year there will be red carpet champions, and there will be a mainstream status of popular elements, and some fashion brands have changed from unknown to big-name favorites. And the stars who have attracted much attention not only have to accept the test of criticism from the film association, but also have to compete on the red carpet, which is no less knowledge, hard work and artistry than the bloody wind and rain in the film industry.
There's a so-called "exposure effect" in the fashion industry: the more recessionary the year, the longer a woman's skirt will be. The 81st Oscars red carpet in the context of the global economic crisis really fully reflects this law, most of the actresses invariably appear in elegant floor-length dresses, traditional, soft, simple and feminine clothing dominates, the performance is that the skirt color is mostly white, and the skirt is mostly a simple bandeau or mermaid skirt, so the white and silver dresses at the beginning of the red carpet are simply dazzling.
One of the most amazing is Nicole Kidman. The slim-fitting wrap silver-white dress once again shaped her into a beautiful statue of the Greek period, and the golden hair and the three-dimensional embroidered tear-off feathers fluttering on the gown set off each other, showing a diverse mix and match concept on a simple evening dress, delicate satin and intricate embroidery and three-dimensional flying feathers with torn edges, completing the seemingly impossible task of mixing and matching in the same color system, which is exciting
And followed by Kate Winslet's performance on the red carpet is also eye-catching, compared with other actresses who appear in pure white, she is wearing a dark blue gradient one-shoulder suspender dress designed by the designer, using simple oriental elements, the lace of black flowers gently blooms in front of the shoulder placket and skirt, in the echo of mysterious blue and black, it can't help but remind people of the unparalleled heart of the ocean in her famous work "Titanic".
The mermaid skirt, which has been extinct on the red carpet for many years, also appeared on the stage again, this kind of evening dress skirt that is tightened and suddenly blooms near the thighs near the knees is constricted but sexy, and the shape that emphasizes the lines has become a trend again. Whether it is the popular youth rookie Huggins, or the veteran **leader Parker, or the sexy**BeyoncΓ©, and Melissa all use mermaid skirts to show sexy style on today's red carpet, among which the outstanding performance is the new fashion leader Anne Hathaway.
Armani's haute couture silver-white fishtail dress still shines with dazzling white light, and this princess became one of the nominees for Best Actress at a young age, and her appearance aura is naturally different, wearing a silver geometric ripple sequins and lace embellished with a small tuchovy fishtail gown, making her sparkling all around, her skin is like congealed cream, soft breast wrap and waistline design, and the unassuming little tail, all make her a real mermaid.
These pleasing beauties dazzled the audience on both sides of the red carpet, but they were not crazy, but then the appearance of a couple of men and women immediately made the entire red carpet scene boil.
Lin Mingyang didn't expect that the Oscar organizing committee would arrange him and Jolie together, anyway, as long as the two of them appear together, it will definitely be an eternal topic on the red carpet. Ever since they met, it was like Venus and Mars met, everything was so dazzling, so incredible, yet so apt, so appropriate. The films that the two collaborate on bring the audience a bright feeling every time. There are many speculations about their relationship from the outside world, and all kinds of scandals are spread all over the sky, but the two still go their own way, and that crazy charm has set off waves of cheers and screams on the red carpet.
Every time Julie appears on the red carpet, she is like a goddess, but she doesn't have a particularly eye-catching or ultra-trendy outfit every time, but every time she behaves so appropriately. Today, her elegant little black dress is not swayed by the fashion of the moment, which seems to show Julie's determination to rise above fashion. A low-cut, high-waistline, high-slit see-through black dress can switch between sexy and noble at any time, as for choosing sexy or noble, Julie can easily control it with just her eyes.
Other actresses walk the red carpet, and everyone evaluates their dresses, but Julie is outstanding, and people's evaluation of her is not limited to the beauty of the dress, but pays more attention to the details of the dress. The most striking thing about Julie's body today is the pair of pure and elegant emerald teardrop earrings, even in the East, few people wear emerald green so beautifully, and at the same time can combine the most popular fashion elements. Julie's unrivaled royal sister aura is overwhelming, and she deservedly became the red carpet queen of this Oscar.
Lin Mingyang is still a simple three-piece dress, a black suit shirt and bow tie, a sexy mustache specially grown, lazy eyes, and an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, which is simply still fascinating to thousands of people.
Today's performance of the two on the red carpet can be described as bold to the extreme, the perfect echo of the black dress and the black skirt is not enough, Lin Mingyang naturally wrapped his hand around Julie's waist, and Julie's small half of her body was also very cooperative against his body, and the ambiguity in her eyes when she looked at each other even ignored the surrounding audience reporters. There have been male and female celebrities who have played like this on the red carpet before, but definitely no two of them have played like this today
As long as Lin Mingyang and Julie appear together, even if they pretend not to know each other, the media can find ways to connect the two together, and they want to cover it up instead, and the left and right media will have a say, Lin Mingyang and Julie don't mind letting the storm come more violently
