Hearing the sound outside the window in a daze, Lance woke up and saw the navy blue sky outside through the gap between the curtains. The gloomy dark clouds were stacked in an orderly manner. The whole world seemed to be soaked in the bottom of the water. The emerald green trees, the deep blue sea, the dark red brick walls, the iron-gray road surface... The clear and transparent touch slowly spread in the air. The fastest update, Lance slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

When I got up, my head was a little drowsy and seemed to have caught a cold. A faint pain came from my left elbow, as if there was a layer of water in my bones. The sticky and soaked in the bathtub for a while. The cold feeling relieved a lot, but I still felt that my arms were wet and cold, which reminded Lance of when he was still in Green Bay.

After changing into the usual casual clothes, I walked down the stairs. Before I could reach the first floor, Gao Wen called out from the kitchen, "Lance?"

Following the sound, Gao Wen raised his head and said, "How did you sleep last night?" He was used to getting up early. Even though he had been retired for more than a year, he still couldn't change his habit of more than 20 years. Gao Wen poured a cup of hot cocoa and placed it in front of Lance. Then he took out a bottle of medicinal wine from the side, "Wipe, the weather is a bit abnormal today, more like San Francisco."

What Gao Wen didn't say was that they didn't sleep well last night, and they could vaguely hear the pain of Lance. They all knew that Lance's old injury had not been cured after all. It is difficult for Western medicine to cure this internal injury. They are considering whether to let Lance try traditional Chinese medicine.

Lance picked up the cup and took a big sip of hot cocoa. Gao Wen put marshmallows in it. Lance felt all his limbs relaxed, "What I need is coffee. After drinking this cup, I probably dozed off again."

Gao Wen picked up another cup, poured a cup of hot coffee that had just been brewed, and put it in front of Lance, which made Lance's mouth rise gently. But as soon as he reached out, Gao Wen picked up the coffee cup again, and his eyes signaled the medicinal wine next to him, which made Lance pull the corner of his mouth helplessly, "It's much better now than before." Even so, Lance honestly picked up the medicinal wine and began to rub his left elbow.

"Believe me, these actors are competing with each other and will not change their plans at all..." Ian's voice came in from outside. When he turned his head, he saw him and Theo pushing open the glass door in the backyard, his hair was wet. "Compared to the cold of the three minutes, their image is the most important." Ian raised his chin and greeted Lance, "How is it? Did you sleep well last night?"

The same problem was the same, Lance laughed in silence, "Don't worry, my old wound is fine." Then he raised the medicinal wine in his hand to show his "innocence", "What are you talking about?"

"Theo is worried that today's unexpected light rain may cause many people to change their clothes temporarily." Ian walked straight to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of coffee. The moisture and coldness on his body were dispersed.

Lance looked at Theo, "Don't worry, there will be heating equipment on the red carpet site. As long as the sea breeze is not too strong, I guess everyone will not have any problems." Every artist, including men, at the award ceremony, has been carefully selected, and they cannot be replaced temporarily.

For second-tier and third-tier artists, they do not have enough sponsorship and funds to change their clothes; for top artists, their clothes may be tailor-made, and even if they add a layer of thermal underwear, it will affect the look. As Ian said, just facing the cold in the red carpet for a few minutes is nothing to the artist. Lance remembers that it was so cold that it was so cold that it was even cold at one time. Some actresses even had their lips so cold that they turned purple, but they still made their strapless long skirts appear, truly making them beautiful and frozen.

"When will we set out?" Theo gently closed his jaw, indicating that he understood.

Today, not only Lance, Theo, Ian and Gao Wen will also attend the Oscars. This is a strategic decision, not for media exposure or interviews, but for such occasions as Chaos Pictures. Just like the Weinstein brothers, the four brothers will become more and more active in the circle in the future, so they need to declare their existence. Of course, being present in person to support Lance is also an important reason.

"So anxious?" Gao Wen was obviously inexperienced, and he was holding a pan with three freshly prepared pancakes on it.

Lance chuckled, "Don't worry, there is still time to have breakfast."

Attending the Oscars has a very cumbersome process, starting with morning preparation, simple exercise or massage to avoid edema, avoid dark circles, etc.; then arrive at the professional beauty room and try on evening gowns to ensure that the actors’ weight has not changed much in the past forty-eight hours, and the dress can still fit perfectly; then simple beauty and care, as well as hairstyle and makeup; here, it is still not the end, and the actors will also relax the final time, because after changing the gowns, it means that they will enter the award ceremony state, which will last until the ceremony is over, so that there will be about an hour of relaxation time, and then attend the Oscar night. This is like a Long March, a "show" that lasts for more than ten hours.

Finally, the actors will change their evening dresses. If necessary, the agent will also arrange some short interviews to increase exposure, create gimmicks, etc.

For anyone who is about to attend the Oscars, these processes are essential basic processes. It takes four to six hours to complete them all. This is just a basic equipment. If you are an actress, it may take to extend to eight hours. As for the 48 hours and 72 hours of diet control before today, it depends on your personal choice.

Only after it is all over, will it enter a tense waiting stage, waiting for the moment when you climb the red carpet.

It must be noted that this is not just a standard for top artists, but for all artists, especially for second- and third-tier actors, attending such a grand event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if they lose everything, they will show their best looks. For such a basic configuration, an actor will cost about 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars, which naturally does not include evening dresses.

Of course, for top artists, they will win sponsorships. Not only do they need to pay for the Oscars, they can also make money. This is also the reason why all actors are trying their best to make a name for themselves in the Oscars. On the other hand, this is also an opportunity for sponsors. When Harley Berry was nominated for the Oscar for "Dance of Death Prisoners", he was unknown, but a designer had a keen eye to help Harley sponsor the evening dresses for attending the ceremony and became famous in one battle.

Why does Oscar have such great influence? Why is the college's public relations so complicated? The reason is very simple. This is a huge interest tangle that affects all aspects of the entire social and economic industry. Even hotels, restaurants and bars in major cities in the United States have launched a one-stop service of "Oscar Journey" to allow them to experience the process of top superstars participating in the Oscars, and hold senior cocktail parties and broadcast them simultaneously with the Oscar Awards Ceremony.

After changing his evening dress, Gao Wen let out a long breath and sat down beside Lance. But when she sat down, Percy, who was standing next to him, reminded him, "Gao Wen, you must pay attention to your sitting posture and don't have wrinkles in your clothes." Gao Wen immediately sat upright with a conditioned reflex. His fearful look made Lance laugh, but Gao Wen looked helpless, "Wow, I'm not that troublesome in preparing for a professional game. God, they just said, I'm still the simplest process. Are they serious?"

Lance nodded with a smile. If it were an actress, it would be even more complicated. They needed to deal with various hairs, nails, and small details could not be missed at all. The whole process was simply a torment and this could not be handled in advance, because within twenty-four hours, these physiological phenomena would undergo subtle changes. In order to attend the Oscar in a perfect posture, it must be done on the same day.

Gao Wen shook his head speechlessly, "I finally know why they say that those stars are not easy." The look of Ian, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but smile.

"So, when will we set out?" Gao Wen opened his eyes wide. He just wanted to leave the space quickly and end the torture.

Ian ignored Gao Wen directly and turned to look at Lance, "You still have to go over to pick Emma, ​​right? You go over to pick her up, and then we will meet again? Or will we go over together?"

"I'll pick up Emma. When we're ready, Percy will call here, and you'll go out." Lance is very familiar with the process of Oscars. Theo's main purpose today is not exposure, so they will make a low-key appearance before Lance. The red carpet is just going through the motions, and then they will enter the venue to manage the relationship. Then Lance and the rest of the crew of "Rampant Road" will appear one after another.

Lance looked at the clock on the wall. They set off late this morning, and now there are only thirty minutes left before the red carpet unveiling. "Then I'll go first." They are preparing to make their debut in the middle of the red carpet.

"Lance, are your elbows okay?" Gao Wen called out Lance who was getting up, and Theo and Ian also cast their sights.

Lance smiled lightly, and the elbow pain was almost impossible to feel, but it still existed, reminding him to keep a clear mind. From Green Bay to San Francisco to Los Angeles, he always had these figures guarding him, which was his luck. "It's okay."

After saying that, Lance waved casually, "See you in the Kodak Theater later." Then he walked forward with great strides.
Chapter completed!
