Hollywood is a very interesting place. Living in Hollywood is equivalent to living under the spotlight, almost like not having your own private life, and all aspects of personal life will be exposed to the public - even the law does not support the personal rights of "public figures". △↗But, this is conditional!

The condition is: famous!

No one cares about the private life of an unknown person, nor about the hard life of a third-tier actor, but if it is a top soundtrack like Steven Spielberg, and a top photographer like Roger Deakins, no matter whether their work is in front of the stage or behind the scenes, there are countless people willing to care about their private lives - especially those gossip.

Lancelot Strello, this is a strange name for Hollywood - because before that, he only existed as a producer and almost did not participate in any publicity, and his works made had never won the Oscar for Best Picture, so naturally there was no exposure; even after "City of God" won the Sundance Film Festival jury award, people were concerned about him only - several independent directors like this came out every year, but people only knew their works and didn't know their names at all; then he devoted himself to the busy filming of "the day after tomorrow", spending almost all his time in the distant cold Montreal, far away from the bustling Los Angeles.

So, when the Oscar nomination list came out, the first reaction of many people was... What exactly did Lancelot Strello look like?

However, I believe that after the Oscars ceremony today, people will definitely not forget the name "Lancelot-Stralo" - even if the award ceremony has not yet been opened, the award is still an unknown number, but the amazing audience on the red carpet is enough to be unforgettable!

A black suit has a fatal charm, like a dark king. He stepped on the red lotus in hell and walked towards his throne step by step.

Not only Nancy, but also the audiences on the scene were stunned. Many people whispered and discussed in a low voice, "Who is this man?" Even many reporters were stunned for a moment - it was obvious that it was difficult for them to associate the man with full aura on the red carpet with Lance who was chatting and laughing at the "Tonight Show".

Javier once saw the fully armed Lance on the red carpet of Sundance, but that time Lance and Jessica Alba walked side by side, and the focus was dispersed a lot; today's situation is completely different. Lance, who stepped on the red carpet alone, controlled everyone's attention in his hands in his understatement. The powerful aura of every move made the noisy and boiling red carpet become a stage for one person - a stage exclusive to Lance.

Even Johnny Depp surrounded by everyone, even Kaira Knightley, even the old and strong Clint Eastwood was completely a foil.

Javier couldn't help but shook his head gently, and the turbulent waves in his heart made the smile at the corner of his mouth a little helpless and playful. In the past year, people have had countless opportunities to get to know Lance in depth. At least they could know Lance, but fate seemed to be a small joke. Amid the twists and turns, Lance never got real attention, and then waited until today - the whole world focused its attention on the Oscars. Then, with the attention of thousands of viewers and tens of millions of TV viewers, Lance's true brilliant debut was ushered in.

If you don’t make a sound, you’ll make a splash!

It was not until this moment that Javier truly understood the meaning of this sentence. Looking back at the riots on the red carpet. It was like the wind blowing wheat waves, slowly silenced with the appearance of Lance. It was not screaming, not shouting, not fanatic, but far more shocking than those out-of-control shouts. The doubts, surprises and stunning in everyone's eyes became the best embellishment of this grand stage, and even the fire-like sunset became the background.

Many years later, when Nancy Black was a guest on "Today" to promote her autobiography, she recalled the scene of the day. "It was a difficult feeling to describe in words. The man appeared calmly and quietly at the end of the red carpet, unlike other stars, who appeared in a scream. He just walked on the red carpet without wave, no stop, no polite greetings, just took steps slowly, but... but your eyes were involuntarily locked on him, as if the light of the whole world was condensed on him. Then, you will deeply remember that scene and will never be forgotten."

When he said this, Nancy closed her eyes, "I can still recall that scene, lifelike." This is the memory of Nancy's generation. After decades and hundreds of years, people can only look back at this historical moment from history. The man named "Lancelot-Stralo" appeared in public for the first time. Then, Nancy opened her eyes again and showed a bright smile, "You all know the story later, so I appeared here today."

The most worthy photo of the 76th Oscars is from Nancy.

In the photo, Lance had just walked down from the extra-length sedan, stood on the red carpet, lowered his head and stretched out his hand to button the suit. The bloody sunset behind him fell, covering his broad shoulders like soft wings. The slender and thick eyelashes cast a shallow shadow, hiding the thrilling eyes. He could only vaguely capture a lonely fragility from the delicate eyebrows, like an elf dancing in a ray of sunshine.

It was not the moment when Lance showed his smile, it was not the moment when Lance stepped on the stage of the Kodak Theater, it was not the moment when Lance was interviewed, it was not the moment when Lance showed his elegance calmly... but the first step that officially appeared on the Oscar red carpet.

Lance, who appeared on the Oscar red carpet for the first time, cannot be regarded as a media darling. More than three-quarters of the media at the scene were around Johnny, Clint, and Keira. Lance just stopped and had a brief conversation with Javier, then talked to the female reporter named Nancy, and then took another step, walking towards the Kodak Theater with a smile on the road.

The live host of abc TV station was interviewing Johnny, laughing constantly discussing the "Pirates of the Caribbean" that was very popular last summer. Johnny noticed Lance passing by, and the two people's eyes collided unexpectedly. Johnny politely closed his jaw, which was considered to be a greeting. Lance also nodded slightly politely as a gift.

Keira held at least a dozen radio microphones in her hand. The reporters in front of her piled up like a peacock spreading their tails. They stood tall and low in front of Keira, and interviewed the British rose, who became popular on the rockets with concentration. Lance saw the spikes in the light of Keira's eyes from afar, staring at his every move provocatively, but Lance ignored Keira, without stopping at all, and did not turn his eyes. He passed by Keira and continued moving forward.

Lance could feel the sharp blade coming from behind, but his expression did not change at all. He politely signaled to the "old cowboy" Clint. There were two cameras standing beside Clint, and there were more than 30 reporters behind him. He saw Lance, but did not say hello - I don't know if he was concentrating on accepting the interview and not paying attention to other situations; or for other reasons.

Lance's footsteps still did not stop at all, and he moved straight forward, and soon caught up with Albert and others who were before him.

This is Lance's first Oscar red carpet, without the imagined tsunami, without the imagined interview fanaticism, without the imagined expectations, as if the "City of God"'s turnaround in the nomination stage was just a dream.

However, if you think about it carefully, "City of God" is a Portuguese film, and winning six nominations is already an incredible victory. No one believes that this film can really challenge the overlord status of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King", no one. Then, it is no surprise that Reims received on the red carpet.

Colin Simonson, who was sitting in the surveillance room, wanted to speak but stopped. He was the veteran film enthusiast who summoned fans to watch "City of God" at the Sundance Film Festival. His actual identity was a program assistant at ABC TV, but he was just an assistant.

After hesitating, Colin still spoke, "Director, the director of 'City of God' has appeared. Are you sure the red carpet will not be interviewed?"

"Yes, of course." The director took off his headphones, "Where are 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 interview as soon as possible, and turn around to continue interviewing the important person. However, obviously, Lance is not that important.

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

Colin clenched his fists in annoyance and wanted to say something, but in the end he let out a long breath, like a deflated ball.

Lance naturally didn't know about this small episode. He quickly entered the Kodak Theater and looked at the star-studded banquet hall, where simple buffets and drinks were placed next to it. In order to prepare for tonight's award ceremony, most artists would not eat, ensuring that they could appear at the award ceremony in the best condition, but avoiding the dilemma of low blood sugar or hungry at the scene, they would still prepare buffets on the scene - but the symbolic significance was far greater than the actual significance.

The arrival of Lance and the "City of God" crew did not attract any attention—it was not Sundance, and Lance didn't mind, patted Alexander on the shoulder and said to his friends, "I think we can go into the awards hall first. There is not much time left before the awards ceremony."

The 76th Academy Awards Ceremony, 30 minutes countdown.
Chapter completed!
