Although facing the protests of the Rainbow Alliance, the 68th Academy Awards, or on March 25, was held on time at the Chandler Hall of the Los Angeles Music Center.

Just after noon, Sarah entered the press section with a media invitation, as a reporter for the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, she was in a good position, although the red carpet would take a while to start, and the fans on the opposite side who kept shouting frantically were also good material.

"Bill!"

As the number of people in the press section grew, Sarah told her cameraman, "When the red carpet starts, be sure to listen to me!" ”

"Hey, Sarah." Bill propped up the camera and muttered discontentedly, "I'm not a newbie. ”

"There are too many people on the red carpet every year!" Sarah was still uneasy, "We need to get to the point. ”

No one can say when it started, those actresses who can't get invitations and want to be in the limelight will use the route of stardom, sponsorship and even brokerage companies and media, and appear on the red carpet, ∈♂ if other actresses walk slowly on this short red carpet, these women who have no works shortlisted, no invitation from the organizer, and no broadcaster will not even give the camera, it is completely a foot or even an inch, and it takes half an hour to finish.

If you want to mix in the entertainment industry, thick skin is the basic condition, but these people's skin is definitely thicker than the bright red carpet.

These people are of no value to a well-known entertainment journalist like her and the Los Angeles Times, and filming is simply wasting money on them.

Male stars dressed up walked across the red carpet. They're basically at normal speeds; One by one, the female stars walked on the red carpet, they were extremely slow, and they could rub for a while.

Both the former and the latter murdered countless films.

A black RV pulled up in front of the red carpet, the doors opened, and a tall man in a dark dress got out of the car.

"Is it Duke? Rosenberg! ”

Throw away a few female stars who are still rubbing on the red carpet. Dozens of camera footage shifted to the front of the red carpet.

"The Explosive Maniac and the Two Billion Directors are here!"

These videographers are like meeting Tom? Cruise and Tom? Hanks is as excited as a top superstar, and the other party has been the focus of public opinion for months, even if he himself has never stood in front of the camera and said anything.

"He has a female companion?"

Seeing the young director turn around and reach out to the car, Bill couldn't help but wonder if this was a famous playboy in Hollywood, but he rarely appeared in public with women.

In Duke? When Rosenberg turned to take a woman from the car, Bill could feel countless flashing lights around him, and he kept pressing the shutter to capture the figures of the two men.

"Who is she?"

Many people have asked such questions.

The woman had long, flowing black hair. Amber eyes are blurred and bright, born with a unique temperament, when she quietly stepped out of the car, her delicate face is like a classical lady, and when she smiles at her male companion, she is full of wild charm.

There is also a tall and plump figure tightly wrapped under a black low-cut evening dress, which is simply synonymous with glamorous and sexy.

Where did such a woman come from? If she has played an important role on the big screen, she will definitely make an impression.

"Do you know her?"

Bill asked Sarah next to him. "Are you Duke? Rosenberg did a few interviews and was also connected to his public relations. Know who that woman is? ”

"If I'm not mistaken."

Not only Bill, Sarah saw that the people around her pricked up their ears, "That woman is from the UK, you can check it out, some famous actors, it seems to be called Catherine?" Zeta? Jones. Should it be the heroine of Duke Miè's new film "Chicago"? ”

"It can't be his girlfriend, right?"

A reporter with a New York Post badge next to him asked, and he was even thinking about how to go back and write a gossip scandal about the first public romance of the Explosive Maniac.

"Look after yourselves."

With Pani? The small deal between Kelis is completed, and Sarah doesn't say anything more, instead urging Bill to continue taking pictures.

"Looks like it's not for the time being."

When the two men walked on the red carpet, someone said in a disappointed tone.

The Explosive Maniac and the British actress didn't have their fingers on each other. It's just the most normal arm-in-arm, it seems that it's just the relationship between the director and the star, these reporters also have a guess in their hearts, they are all industry insiders, and they know that this should be the promotional strategy of the film.

However, the two of them would look at each other and smile from time to time, and they were always making silent communication with their eyes, which was not normal no matter how they looked at it.

Because of the responsibility of publicity and exposure, Duke does not walk as fast as he used to participate in public events, and he can feel Zeta on his arm? Jones's hand was trembling slightly, and he could see that the British woman next to him was very excited.

If it weren't for him, Duke estimated that the other party would be able to walk at most a third of the distance he is now.

"Is this the Oscar red carpet?"

Take advantage of the turn of the head, Zeta? Jones whispered in his ear, "Even though it's the first time I've walked, I feel like I've fallen in love with it." ”

"Honey, it's my first time too." Duke shrugged his shoulders and quickened his pace slightly, "Let's get better." ”

"You're the first time too?"

Zeta? Although Jones maintained a charming smile, there was confusion in his amber eyes, "How could it be the first time for you?" ”

"This is the first time I've been nominated for an individual award."

Seeing someone holding up the poster of "Saving Private Ryan", Duke waved to the other side, but the reaction of the fans was relatively flat, so he had to continue to say to the woman next to him, "Although "Independence Day" and "Death Island" were also nominated for Oscars, I was also eligible to walk the red carpet, but I was busy with work at the time and didn't have time. ”

Busy with work? Don't have time?

It's unbelievable. No one else can get the Oscar to be in the limelight, but the person next to him is not very enthusiastic......

A few more steps, Zeta? Jones suddenly figured out that she had been on the set of "Chicago" for a few months, and she had seen how hard the other party worked at work, and she had heard others mention it. He believes that the most important thing for a director is to speak with his work.

Also, he is so young and so good, there will definitely be many opportunities to walk on the Oscar stage in the future.

Of course, he is not an old-fashioned and conservative director who does not know how to be flexible, otherwise he would not accept Kelis's advice and walk the red carpet with her.

Zeta? Jones's eyes turned to the side again, a director who was hard to understand.

What the women around him think, Duke didn't know. Just took her into the interview area and was interviewed by reporters.

As the director of tonight's hottest film, he is of course the focus of media attention, and as soon as he walked into the interview area, a reporter from ABC TV, the live broadcaster, ran over.

"Director Rosenberg, are you confident tonight?"

It's all routine, and Duke replied in the same vein, "I think we should be able to take a few little gold figurines." ”

The female reporter asked again. "Can you win Best Director in a record time?"

"I'll get it one day."

Although it was still an official answer, Duke was telling the truth. "But not this time, I'm still very young, and there will always be opportunities in the future."

He is well aware that age is a disadvantage that cannot be changed, and like Tim from Death Row Walk? Robbins and others did no less work in private.

"Can you talk about this beautiful young lady next to you?" The reporter looked at Zeta, who had been smiling charmingly? Jones. "Is this your girlfriend?"

"Such a misunderstanding is not easy to explain."

Turn your head, Duke vs. Zeta? Jones looked deeply at the camera and said, "This is Catherine?" Zeta? Miss Jones, Kate is a very good actor. It's the heroine of my new film, and as you can see, she's beautiful and charming. ”

Hearing Duke's words, the reporter immediately turned to Zeta? Jones, "Miss Jones, can you talk about this collaboration with Duke?" ”

"Absolutely."

From standing here, Zeta? Jones was waiting for such an opportunity, "Last year, director Rosenberg made a special trip to London to find me, thinking that I was very suitable for the role of Velma, and he has always been a director I like very much, and we have this collaboration, although the film has not yet started shooting, but when discussing the script and the characters, he gave me a lot of inspiration and guidance......"

She turned her head, looked at Duke affectionately, and continued, "This will be a turning point in my career as an actor, the most important performance in my life, only once you have worked, you can find out how good Duke is, his talent and hard work, are admirable, even fascinating......"

In terms of acting, even if he works hard for another twenty years, Duke thinks he can't compare to Zeta? Jones, after the interview, did not stay outside, took the amorous actress and walked directly into Chandler Hall, and according to the guidance of the staff, through the antechamber and a long corridor, through the specially reserved VIP passage, into the main hall of the theater.

"I've been here before." Zeta? Jones took Duke by his arm and whispered as he walked to the front row, "Why does it feel completely different?" ”

"Because it's the Oscars."

Casually replied, Duke turned his eyes around, looking for the location of the crew, and before he could see a familiar face, Nancy? Josephson chased after him from behind.

"This way." She led the way and said to Duke, "You'll be familiar with it a few more times." ”

How many times?

This sentence seems to say to Zeta? In Jones's heart, she likes this kind of occasion, she likes the feeling of being in the limelight, and she wants to participate in every Oscar.

Turning her head, her eyes fell on Duke, would that be her safeguard?

"Where's my mother?"

That's Duke's primary concern, "Did she come in?" ”

"Sophia sat in front of her." Nancy walked to the front row and belonged to the crew of "Saving Private Ryan". (To be continued......)
