Even though everyone knows that the Oscars are a The collision of business and culture, but no one will deny the global influence of this event, and the reporters in the United States spared no effort to pay high attention to this event, so as to continuously expand the influence of American films in the world. novel"

Therefore, the Oscars are still like a huge magnet every year, attracting the attention of the media. The application for the Oscar press card every year starts in August. Waiting for approval is a long process. Even after approval, it depends on your reporter What is the level of the certificate, because it is related to the interview area on the day of the award ceremony. The highest place in the interview area is naturally the award ceremony hall. Only the official media of the Oscars are allowed to enter. There are not only free materials, but also big-name stars everywhere; next time Waiting is a special interview room, where the media can conduct exclusive interviews with a small number of artists; the worst is a hand-to-hand competition with all the peers on the red carpet in the cold wind

Generally speaking, media such as "Entertainment Weekly" that has good cooperation with Oscar can at least get the interview rights in the interview room and the red carpet. As for the interview rights in the lobby, it depends on the cooperation relationship with the Academy every year. "

However, if you think that you have won one-fifth of the interview rights on both sides of the red carpet, you feel that everything is fine, then you are destined to become cannon fodder, because for lay reporters, obtaining the right to interview is the easiest step. Seizing places on the carpet, timing, and throwing questions is the real problem

Ethan Dean, an intern reporter from The Times, has experienced the fierce competition on the Oscar stage.

On the morning of March 5th, it was only after six o'clock in the morning, and loyal fans had already appeared at the intersection of the Kodak Theatre, which had completed the street blockade. Yesterday night, Ethan Dean, who tossed and turned, just woke up, and saw the lively people on the street through the hotel window. Although it is already March in Los Angeles, it is only six o'clock at this time, and it is still chilling, but the enthusiasm of the fans on the street is eye-catching.

Ethan Dean glanced at the sign on their hands and saw only the words "Brokeback Mountain". He couldn't help but think that the day before yesterday, 10,000 citizens gathered for "Brokeback Mountain" and thought that the academic school should give this wonderful book. The film A Fairness The march was seen as a response to conservatives who gathered 40,000 people a week ago to protest against "Brokeback Mountain" against the Oscars. Now it seems that the "Brokenback Mountain" battle is bound to continue, regardless of the outcome of the Oscars. What is it? In the future social life, this kind of debate will continue to chatter endlessly.

Ethan Dean thought it was not yet a quarter past six and he could just stand here for a while, take a slow shower, and then have breakfast, but in fact, he had only been standing by the windowsill for less than two minutes. , the door of the room was knocked, and the voice of Rick Musgrave, senior reporter of the "Guardian", came from outside: "Get up, get up, hurry up"

Ethan Dean panicked and ran over to open the door of the room, "Didn't you say go down to the interview floor to gather at eight o'clock?"

Rickett Musgrave was also in a state of embarrassment and was buttoning his shirt. "The red carpet broadcast was delayed by thirty minutes, an accident" was just a simple sentence that immediately made Ethan Dean dumbfounded. Generally speaking, The schedule of the red carpet and the arrangement of the awards ceremony were decided as early as a month ago, because it involves the operation of the entire broadcast, as well as the temporary changes of the artist's appearance time, etc., which have not happened in the past ten years. Yes, even once...,

"Get dressed and let's go downstairs," Rick Musgrave turned back and ran to his room, Ethan Dean noticed that Rick Musgrave was barefoot

Ethan Dean hurriedly turned back to the room, and Tom Iggs, a trainee reporter for The Daily Telegraph who lived in the same room as him, was also woken up, sitting on the bed and staring blankly at Ethan Dean, "Why? already?"

Ethan Dean immediately began to get dressed in a panic, "The broadcast was delayed for half an hour, and a temporary change occurred."

Tom Iggs sat up immediately, picked up his clothes and put them on his body, "Damn Americans, I hate emergencies the most." Actually, for reporters, emergencies mean smell, which is the sales of newspapers When it goes up, but this is Los Angeles, not London, they have no connections or resources, and the panic caused by the sudden event will only make them confused

Two young men, Ethan Dean and Tom Iggs, with very quick hands and feet, put on their shirts and trousers, put their laptops on their backs, and bit their press cards in their mouths. Rickett Musgrave ran in the direction of the elevator, a little slower than the two young men, and ran over two steps late.

As soon as the elevator opened, all the reporters were disheveled, and the confined space was filled with a panic-stricken heat. The three of them stepped into the elevator and found that everyone was heading towards Ethan Dean on the second floor of the Renaissance Hotel. After putting on his coat, he stomped his feet depressed. He didn't have time to put on socks just now, but now he stuffed a pair in his trousers pocket, and he didn't know if he had time to wear them.

"Rickett, what's going on?" Tom Iggs was still buttoning his shirt, looking around, most reporters' faces were as calm as water The calmness of all the situation made his restless heart settle down a little.

Richter Musgrave looked at the six or seven reporters behind him. He reckoned that the news was almost spread by now, and there was no need to hide it. Anyway, as long as you are not blind, you can know about such a large-scale incident. "Franklin A large crowd gathered on the avenue to protest against the 'Brokeback Mountain' impact on the Oscars"

Just one sentence, it contains a lot of information First, wasn't the protest march held only a week ago? Why did you come again today, what happened? The second is that today is the day of the Oscars ceremony. The list of winners has actually been sealed. Even protests will not change the result. Are you trying to force the Oscars to be postponed?

The Oscars have been postponed three times in history. The first was in 1938, when the Los Angeles floods delayed the ceremony by a week; the second was in 1968, when the academy's schedule clashed with Martin Luther King's funeral. , so postponed; the third was in 1981, when an attempt to assassinate then-President Ronald Reagan caused the ceremony to be postponed 24 hours

If there is a fierce conflict today, it is not impossible for the ceremony to be postponed, so the third message is brought up, will there be a conflict? Ethan Dean immediately thought of the picture he had just seen. There were less than twenty "Brokeback Mountain" supporters gathered on the street corner. If they clashed with the protesting team, twenty would be a number without the ability to resist. Sendien couldn't help but get nervous

Ethan Dean immediately asked, "Where is Franklin Avenue?" He is a Londoner and doesn't really know much about the terrain of Los Angeles.

Although Rickett Musgrave is also a Londoner, he is relatively senior, and this is not the first time he has interviewed Oscar. Naturally, he is more familiar with the situation. "The next street parallel to us"...,

Ethan Dean frowned immediately. He seemed to smell the danger. Once the conservative protesting team met the "Brokeback Mountain" supporters, it would become the biggest doubt whether the two sides could stay sane, but there was not much time for Ethan. Sendien is thinking, because the second floor has already arrived

At this time, the interview room on the second floor was already in a mess. Ethan Dean and the three of them were representatives of British newspapers and magazines. The news was already lagging behind. Most of the people in the elevator just now were also European reporters and American journalists. The reporters are well informed, and naturally one step ahead of them. Various reporters are running fast in front of them. Reporters of different skin colors, different ages, and different body types are running in the enclave. Almost everyone has a mobile phone in his hand. It's not the news center on the third floor. It's allowed to use mobile phones here. Everyone is doing their best to understand the situation at the scene.

Ethan Dean sprinted into the interview room for The Times, which didn't pay much attention to the Oscars this time, because they didn't think the Oscars would have the guts to award the prize to the UK three weeks before "Brokeback Mountain" The Film Academy Awards awarded the Best Picture and Best Director to "Brokeback Mountain~www.wuxiaspot.com~" so they only sent intern reporter Ethan Dean to Los Angeles alone. Who would have thought that the award ceremony would actually take place on the day of the ceremony. such chaos will erupt

Ethan Dean took out his mobile phone and quickly called the editor-in-chief in London. At this time, it was three o'clock in the afternoon in London, and it was the comfortable time of afternoon tea. After receiving the call from Ethan Dean, the editor-in-chief immediately decided, " Close-up interview" After Ethan Dean hung up the phone, he carried his camera, took off the down jacket hanging in the interview room, and ran out directly

Seeing the busyness of the elevator entrance, Ethan Deen immediately pushed open the door of the safety staircase, and ran down the same choice as he was definitely not a few reporters, at least he heard the footsteps of three different people While running, Ethan Dean complained, "Socks, socks" running without socks in the winter makes him so sick

Affected by objective conditions, Ethan Dean's speed was not fast at all, and he was quickly caught up by Tom Iggs behind him, "Ethan, where are you going?"

Ethan Dean didn't answer, he pointed to the other reporters who were running in front of him. The meaning couldn't be simpler. Follow the big army.
