As the venue of this year's Oscars, Dorothy Chandler Hall has been gradually warming up since a month ago, and the awards ceremony will be held tomorrow, which makes Dorothy Chandler Hall surrounded by crowds, with an endless stream of media reporters and staff coming in and out, and the excitement of the media center at this moment is just the tip of the iceberg.

Although the overall quality of the works has dropped sharply this year, the competition between Hugo and Nicolas Cage has collided with countless sparks, and even surpassed the competition between Hugo and Brad Pitt for a time, becoming the biggest attraction above this year's Oscars. Media reporters are exchanging their own gossip after dinner, and radio programs and TV programs are also discussing the final ownership of the actor.

"I heard that Tom Cruise voted for Hugo."

"I spoke to Schwarzenegger and he voted for Cage."

"Jack Nicholson chose Hugo in both the actor and supporting actor departments."

"Redford picks Pete."

"Kevin Costner says he supports Nicolas Cage."

"Coppola voted for Cage, of course, it's not unusual, is it?"

…… All sorts of rumours are circulating in the media center, but the only difference is that the focus of the discussion is not on the best picture, but on the best actor.

Because everyone knows that maybe this is the closest Hugo is to the Oscar-winning statuette, but it can also be said that Hugo is the farthest from the statuette, whether it is a matter of course or too much, the uncertainty is too rich, there are too many possibilities, and the outcome is impossible for anyone to predict. If he misses it, maybe Hugo will never be able to replicate such a year, just as "1994" cannot be replicated, and maybe Hugo will usher in his "1995-style landslide".

So, everyone is curious, everyone is predicting, and everyone is expressing their opinions.

With less than 24 hours left before the 68th Academy Awards, the whole of Hollywood has begun to run rapidly, according to incomplete statistics, in the past week, the topic of "Hugo vs. Nicholas" alone has been mentioned more than 6,000 times by major radio and television stations, not to mention the topic of "Oscars".

Even overseas markets have given Oscar unimaginable attention, even surpassing last year's Troika Thin Ice. Thanks to the popularity of the Berlin Film Festival, an unprecedented number of more than 400 journalists from across the European continent were sent to Los Angeles for on-site interviews, which not only hit a record high, but even increased by 30 percentage points from last year's figure, making major media in North America exclaim "incredible".

In stark contrast to the Oscars, the Golden Globes are naturally in dilemma, last year's Golden Globe ratings achieved good results, but the topic was stolen by the Sundance Film Festival; This year's Golden Globe Awards ratings have declined, the list of winners has been controversial, and internal contradictions have intensified...... It's just scorched and precarious.

After suffering a double blow, the Golden Globes are now on the verge of going off, and maybe things will change drastically after the Oscars.

The whole city, the whole country, and the whole land are filled with countless voices of discussion, slowly warming up for the Oscars, only waiting for the opening moment of the awards ceremony to completely explode.

As a party, Hugo is making final preparations for tomorrow's red carpet, with the help of his assistant, Hugo solemnly put on the suit, then buttoned it, and carefully looked at himself in the floor dressing mirror in front of him. In fact, the evening dress to attend the awards ceremony has already been selected, but after the suit is put on, some details have been adjusted according to Hugo's figure, and today's try-on is to confirm that the whole dress fits absolutely, and if there is a problem, it can be adjusted in time.

Generally speaking, in order to attend the Oscars, many female stars start to do diet conditioning three days or even a week in advance, as much as possible to ensure that they appear on the red carpet in a perfect posture, for male stars are not so demanding, but it is also necessary to start controlling the amount of three meals a day in advance - otherwise they will still have a hangover the night before and walk on the red carpet in confusion the next day, which is enough to become a laughing stock for the next few months.

Therefore, if you make a final confirmation of the details of the garment a day in advance, there will generally be no problems, which is also to avoid being scrambling tomorrow.

"Where's the match? Need some accessories or handkerchiefs? The assistant standing next to him asked in a low voice. Although it is said that male artists wear the same suit on the red carpet, those who really know how to wear it can still wear their own style, and some subtle and invisible collocations will make the whole outfit stand out. For example, a simple and clear black suit, in addition to the changes in tailoring, the collar and cufflinks of the shirt, the choice of bow tie, the personalized tie clip, the corsage on the left chest, etc., can make the most basic black suit unique.

Hugo turned around carefully, looked at it carefully, and shook his head, "No. ”

The assistant has a three-tiered cart in his hand with a hand, each with a number of accessories, the first layer is a precious watch, the second layer is a bow tie, the third layer is cufflinks and collar buttons, and behind him, there are two three-layer carts, a dazzling array of accessories.

Hearing Hugo's clean refusal, the assistant turned his head a little helplessly and cast a pleading glance at Thomas Wieland, who was standing aside. Thomas touched his eyebrow bone helplessly, then stepped forward and asked hesitantly, "Hugo, are you sure?" ”

Although Thomas was the head of Burberry's entire U.S. division, and was a top figure on the outside, he was always a little more special about Hugo, and he was a little more careful in his words. Even Thomas knew that Hugo was a good guy to get along with.

"I think that's good, and if you add other combinations, it will seem redundant." Hugo looked at his whole body again, pouted, and said nonchalantly.

Thomas looked at Joseph who was standing on the side for help, Joseph also felt a headache, but he was obviously much more comfortable than Thomas, and asked directly, "Don't want a watch?" ”

Hugo was stunned, "Ah, you mean the Rolex watch, right?" Hugo reacted immediately, and this time Hugo's attendance at the Oscars was almost highly anticipated, and Rolex offered sponsorship in the hope that Hugo would be able to wear their watch at the ceremony.

Not only Rolex, but in fact, every accessory on Hugo's body was sponsored, not only for free, but also for a whole host of gifts. There are 23 manufacturers who have expressed their willingness to sponsor Hugo, from small items such as cufflinks to invisible parts such as socks and underwear.

In the end, Burberry relied on his strong friendship with Hugo over the past three years to gain the initiative, and Hugo's suits and shirts were designed specifically for him. Burberry's design director, Roberto Manichetti, came to Los Angeles in person to design a suit for Hugo and then hand it over to an authentic professional hand-made tailor, and it took nearly three months to complete the suit – a one-of-a-kind suit.

"It's okay, I'll wear it on Oscar night." Hugo replied neatly, "I don't wear this suit, it's cumbersome." Hugo still dresses mostly in simple and comfortable, and he really doesn't know much about the so-called fashion at Fashion Week.

Hearing Hugo say this, Joseph didn't say anything more, and Thomas looked helpless, "But...... This is a historical moment after all, don't you want to be a little grander? ”

"Hehe, do you think I'm going to win the prize?" Hugo chuckled and said teasingly, but his hands began to unbutton his suit. Handmade suits do feel different, every detail is carefully measured and designed, and it is a very different feeling from buying a finished suit before, no wonder a suit costs 3,000 pounds.

Thomas felt Hugo's relaxation, and his mood relaxed a little, "Don't you want to win the award?" I think you have a good chance. This is also the reason why Burberry is so cautious, if Hugo Shun lì won the best actor and created a historical moment, it will be the moment when Hugo shines, and Thomas hopes that Burberry can become an important partner to accompany Hugo to stand in the spotlight.

Joseph raised an eyebrow and glanced at Thomas. In fact, since the media has been discussing this matter in a hot and enthusiastic way recently, it is inevitable that they will be exposed to these news almost every day. Although Hugo never said it, Joseph knew that in this overwhelming news, the pressure has been increasing invisibly, Hugo does not have much breathing space at all, even if Hugo wants to relax, even if Hugo wants to be relieved, it is definitely not that simple.

Even Joseph and Samora were overwhelmed by the pressure, and the discussion could be heard almost everywhere they went, and there were even more people like Thomas who were hopeful to ask positive questions, which may seem to them to be a form of support - and it was, but it was undeniably terrifying.

Joseph looked at Hugo, trying to stop Thomas's words, but Hugo let out a long breath, naturally handed the suit jacket to the assistant, and then began to unbutton his shirt, "Hehe, if I don't want to win the award, then I must be a hypocrite, so ......" Hugo's words made Thomas chuckle, but Joseph still observed the subtle change in Hugo's expression with concern, "However, the Oscar is not up to me, is it?" Of course, I voted for myself on top of my vote. So, hopefully, it turns out that I'm not a narcissist. ”

Hugo's generous and self-deprecating answer made several assistants next to him chuckle, but only Joseph could hear the bitterness in Hugo's words, and the helplessness of pretending to be relaxed made the smile more heavy.
