Hollywood is a very interesting place. Living in Hollywood is equivalent to living under the spotlight. It is almost equivalent to not having one's own private life. Every aspect of personal life will be exposed to the public - even the law does not support public figures personal privacy. However, this is conditional!

The condition is: Famous!

No one will care about the private life of an unknown person, and no one will care about the hard life of a third-line actor, but if it is a top director like Steven Spielberg, a top director like John Williams (John-Williams) No matter whether their work is on stage or behind the scenes, there are countless people who are willing to care about their private lives-especially the gossip.

Lancelot Strelo, this is an unfamiliar name for Hollywood-because before that, he only existed as a producer and hardly participated in any publicity, and the works he produced He has never won the Oscar for Best Picture, so naturally he has no exposure; even after City of God won the Sundance Film Festival jury award, people's attention to him is limited-independent directors like this will be released every year. A few came out, but people only knew their works, and didn’t know their names at all; then he threw himself into the busy shooting of “The Day After Tomorrow”, spending almost all his time in the distant and cold Montreal, away from the bustling and noisy Los Angeles.

So, when the list of Oscar nominations came out, many people's first reaction was...what does Lancelot Strelo look like?

However, I believe that after today's Oscar awards ceremony, people will never forget the name Lancelot Strelo-even if the awards ceremony has not yet been unveiled, the ownership of the awards is still unknown, but the people on the red carpet Stunning the audience is enough to make it unforgettable!

Wearing a black suit with deadly charm, like a dark king, stepping on the red lotus of hell, walking towards his throne step by step.

Not only Nancy, the audience at the scene also fell into a sluggish state. Many people whispered to each other, Who is this man?; It's obviously hard to connect the man who went all out on the red carpet with the laughing Lance on The Tonight Show.

Javier once saw Lance in full armor on the red carpet of Sundance, but that time Lance walked side by side with Jessica Alba, and the focus was a lot distracted; today's situation is completely different, alone When Lance stepped on the red carpet, he took everyone's attention firmly in his hands, and the powerful aura of his gestures turned the noisy red carpet into a stage for one person—a stage exclusively for Lance .

Even the Johnny Depp surrounded by the crowd, even the smiling Keira Knightley, and even the old and tough Clint Eastwood were completely reduced to foils.

Javier shook his head involuntarily, the turmoil in his heart made the smile on the corner of his mouth a little helpless and playful. In the past whole year, people had countless chances to get to know Lance in depth, at least to get to know Lance, but fate seems to have played a little joke. In the twists and turns, Lance has never been able to get the real truth. The attention of the audience, and then waited until today—when the whole world focused its attention on the Oscars ceremony, and then in the eyes of tens of thousands of viewers and tens of millions of TV viewers, Lance ushered in the real A meaningful debut.

If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster!

It wasn't until this moment that Javier really understood the meaning of this sentence. Looking back at the commotion on the red carpet, it was like the wind blowing wheat waves, and it slowly fell silent with the appearance of Lance. It wasn't screaming, shouting, or frenzy, but it was far more shocking than those out-of-control shouts The strength, the doubts, astonishment and astonishment in everyone's eyes became the best embellishment of this grand stage, and even the fiery and bloody sunset became the background.

Many years later, when Nancy Black was a guest on Today to promote her autobiography, she recalled this scene that day, It was a feeling that is difficult to describe in words, and the man was so calm and quiet. Appeared at the end of the red carpet, unlike other stars who appeared amidst the screams, he just walked onto the red carpet without arrogance or impetuosity, without waving, without stopping, and without polite greetings, just like that Walking slowly, but... But your eyes can't help but focus on him, as if the light of the whole world is concentrated on him. Then, you will deeply remember that scene, and it will never be forgotten.

When she said this, Nancy closed her eyes, I can still recall that scene so vividly. This is the memory of Nancy's generation. After decades or hundreds of years, people can only Looking back at this historical moment from the annals of history, the man named Lancelot Strelo appeared in front of the public in a real sense for the first time. Afterwards, Nancy opened her eyes again, showing a bright smile, You all know the story later, so I appeared here today.

The most memorable photo of the 76th Oscars was taken by Nancy.

In the photo, Lance just got off the limousine, stood on the red carpet, lowered his head and reached out to button up his suit. The bloody sunset behind him covered his broad shoulders like soft wings. The slender and thick eyelashes cast a shallow shadow, hiding the thrilling eyes, and only a touch of desolation and fragility can be vaguely captured from between the delicate brows, like an elf dancing on a ray of sunlight.

Not when Lance smiles, when Lance steps onto the stage at the Kodak Theater, when Lance gives an interview, when Lance takes his time with grace...it's when he formally walks on his first footsteps on the Oscars red carpet .

Lance, who appeared on the Oscars red carpet for the first time, cannot be regarded as the darling of the media. More than three-quarters of the media at the scene were surrounded by Johnny, Clint, and Kayla. Lance just stopped and talked with Ha Weir had a brief conversation, and then had a few more conversations with the female reporter named Nancy, and then started walking again, walking towards the Kodak Theater with a smile on his face.

The live host of ABC TV station is interviewing Johnny, laughing and discussing the Pirates of the Caribbean, which was so popular last summer, Johnny noticed Lance passing by, and the two people's eyes collided unexpectedly, Johnny said politely He retracted his jaw as a greeting; Lance also nodded politely in return.

Keira held at least a dozen radio microphones in his hand, and the reporters in front of him piled up like peacocks spreading their tails. They stood high and low in front of Keira, concentrating on interviewing the English rose who became popular on a rocket. Lance saw the spikes in Kaila's peripheral vision from a distance, watching his every move provocatively, but Lance ignored Kaila directly, did not stop at all, did not turn his eyes, and went straight past Kayla, and move on.

Lance could feel the sight of a sharp knife coming from behind, but his expression did not change at all, and he nodded politely to Old Cowboy Clint. There were two cameras standing beside Clint, and more than 30 reporters behind him. He saw Lance, but he didn't say hello—I don't know if he was concentrating on the interview and didn't notice other situations; or because of other reasons.

Lance's footsteps still didn't stop, he went straight forward, and soon caught up with Albert and the others before him.

This is Lance's first Oscar red carpet. There is no imagined tsunami, no interview frenzy, and no expectations. It seems that the turnaround of City of God in the nomination stage is just an event like a dream.

However, come to think of it, City of God is a Portuguese-language film, and winning six nominations is an incredible victory, and no one believes that this film can really challenge The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King The supremacy, no one. It should come as no surprise, then, how Lance was treated on the red carpet.

At this time, Colin Simonsen, who was sitting in the monitoring room, hesitated to speak—he was the senior film lover who called fans together to watch City of God at the Sundance Film Festival. His actual identity A program assistant for ABC, but only an assistant.

After hesitating again and again, Colin still spoke, Director, the director of 'City of God' has appeared, are you sure there will be no interviews on the red carpet?

Yes, of course. The director took off the earphones, What about others? Generally speaking, if an important person appears on the red carpet, the on-site staff will temporarily stop the important person, and then notify the host through the director to end the previous events as soon as possible. interview, turn around and continue to interview this important person. Obviously, though, Lance isn't that important.

Colin pointed to the camera in the upper left corner. Lance had just walked into the Kodak Theater. The director glanced, Go in? Forget it, it's just a Brazilian movie anyway.

Colin clenched his fist in annoyance and wanted to say something, but after all he let out a long breath, like a deflated ball.

Naturally, Lance didn't know about this little episode. He quickly entered the Kodak Theater and looked at the star-studded banquet hall, with a simple buffet and drinks next to it. In order to prepare for tonight's awards ceremony, most of the artists will not eat, to ensure that they can appear at the awards ceremony in the best condition, but to avoid the embarrassment of hypoglycemia or being hungry enough to make noise, a buffet will still be prepared It's just that the symbolic meaning is far greater than the actual meaning.

The arrival of Lance and the City of God crew did not attract any attention-this is not Sundance, and Lance didn't mind, patted Alexander on the shoulder, and said to his partners, I think we can Let's go to the awards hall first. There is not much time left before the awards ceremony.

The thirty-minute countdown to the seventy-sixth Academy Awards ceremony.
