Chapter 278 - Phantom of the Red Carpet

As the 81st Academy Awards ceremony approaches, various warm-up activities are in full swing in Los Angeles. The Oscars under the financial crisis may not be as eye-catching as in previous years, but it is telling people in its own way that the feast of the movie world will continue.

"Affected by the financial crisis, the budgets of many events organized to celebrate the Oscars have 'shrunk' to varying degrees. There are some events that have even cut their budgets by 75%. The Oscar organizing committee is also having a hard time right now; while previous Oscar ceremonies would arrange a short montage at the beginning as a review of the past year's movies, this year it will also end with a short montage looking ahead to new movies."

With a cigar in his mouth, Eckles relaxed in his office and opened a bottle of red wine, two goblets on his desk's.

"Aren't movie advertisements banned at the Oscars?" Lin Mingyang still habitually "occupied" the seat that originally belonged to Eckles.

Ecks handed Lin Mingyang a glass of poured red wine, correcting him in passing, "It's a new product outlook, not a movie advertisement!"

Lin Ming Yang took the glass and asked nonchalantly, "Is there a difference between the two?"

Ecks shrugged, "As early as last month, the producers of the Oscar ceremony had already sent invitations to all the major movie studios, hoping that they would provide relevant footage for the production of this finale with a few minutes. The clip will cover highlights from 24 films, with each film having 10 seconds. The clip will then be broadcast as a split screen when the credits come out."

"A great promotional opportunity, which films are you going to schedule to appear in that short this time?"

Ecks lit his cigar and took a puff with a contented look, "All the major studios are downsizing, and the wealthy Warner's only bought four, and the producer of the Oscar Ceremony tried his hardest to peddle it, and when he finally found me, he still had six left in his hands that weren't in the cards...I'd be willing to help him with all of them at once, on the condition that our new movie must be placed at the very beginning of the entire short film, "New Sherlock Holmes", "Answer the Future", "Legend of the Dark 2", "James Bond: The Phantom of the Dangerous Kingdom", "Warcraft", and "Avatar", which just happens to be all lined up."

Lin Mingyang put his feet on Ecks' desk and reclined his entire body on the chair, he shook the red wine in his glass and said slowly, "The release of 'Warcraft' is still a long way off, and as for 'Avatar'... it's hard to say that Cameron will proceed to jump the gun this year!"

Eckles said decisively, "The deadline I gave Cameron is the end of this year, and Fox has also issued an ultimatum to him, no matter what, this movie must be released within the year!"

Probably feeling that there was no point in continuing to discuss this topic, Lin Ming Yang asked instead, "Is there a guest list for today's Oscar ceremony?"

"Actually, you're asking which actresses will be there." Ecks saw through Lin Ming Yang's mind at a glance, "The organizing committee is covering the guest list for this Oscars ceremony very tightly... the latest news in my hand is that Angelina Jolie will definitely be there, and the rest of the more famous ones are Anne Ethelwy, Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Aniston... Oh yeah, and Natalie Portman, she's a close friend of Scarlett Johansson, so if you want to make out with so-and-so, you'd better avoid her!"

The corner of Lin Ming Yang's mouth raised a rather playful and evil smile, "Don't you forget, I can just finish playing James Bond, for a beautiful agent who comes undercover, there's no such word as 'refuse' in Bond's dictionary!"

As the world's most watched movie event, the Oscars red carpet has a long history as a fashion dress code. From the late 90's, the Oscars red carpet has entered a "fashion climax", every year there are all kinds of dazzle and admiration in the global attention of the hour and a half, and this "Oscar-style" global fashion effect in the new millennium is simply as powerful as ever. This "Oscar-like" global fashion effect is simply getting stronger and stronger after entering the new millennium, with celebrities, big brands competing with each other, luxury piling up, fashion trends and delicate youth blooming like flowers here.

In recent years, the Oscars red carpet basically represents the change of fashion trends, every year there will be a red carpet champion, there will be a popular element of mainstream status, but also has some fashion brands from the unknown to the big names love. The stars in the spotlight are not only tested by the Film Society's critics, but also on the red carpet, where the learning, hard work and artistry is no less than the bloodshed of the movie industry.

In the fashion world, there is a so-called "exposure effect": the more recessionary the year, the longer the women's skirts will be. In the context of the global economic crisis, the 81st Oscars red carpet really reflects this law, most actresses are coincidentally to show elegant floor-length dresses, traditional, soft, simple and feminine dresses dominated the performance of the skirt color is mostly white, most of the skirt body for the simple bustle models or fishtail dresses, so the red carpet at the beginning of the white and silver gowns are simply shaking people! The red carpet started with white and silver dresses that dazzled people.

One of the most stunning is Nicole Kidman. Slim chest wrapped silver and white dress once again, she shaped into a beautiful statue of the Greek period, blonde hair and gowns on the fluttering flash of three-dimensional embroidery torn feathers against each other, in a simple evening dress to show the diversity of the concept of mix and match, delicate satin and complex embroidery and torn three-dimensional fluttering feathers, in the same color scheme to complete the seemingly impossible mix and match task, it is very exciting!

And followed by Kate Winslet on the red carpet performance is also eye-catching, compared to other actresses pure white out, she was wearing a dark blue gradient by the designer Stefano Pilati designed one-shoulder halter floor-length gown, with a plain oriental elements, black flowers of lace gently bloomed in the shoulders before the lapel and the train, in the mysterious blue and black echo, can't help but make people Think of her masterpiece "Titanic" in the heart of the world's unrivaled ocean.

In the red carpet has been extinct for many years of fishtail dress also reappeared on stage, this upper body tightening, to the thighs near the knee before the sudden bloom of the evening dress skirt convergence but no loss of sexy, emphasize the lines of the modeling and again become the trend. Whether it is the red youth rookie Hudgens, or veteran desire godfather Parker, or sexy hot Beyoncé, and Melissa in today's red carpet are coincident with the fishtail dress to show sexy flavor, which is outstanding performance is the new fashion godmother Anne Hathaway.

Armani Haute Couture silver and white fishtail dress is still flashing dazzling white light, and the princess at a young age became one of the nominees for Best Actress, out of the gas field is also naturally different, a silver geometric wave sequins and lace embellished wrap small trailing fishtail dress, so that her body shimmering, skin such as condensed fat, soft wrap and waistline design, as well as the small tail that does not flare up, all let her full is a real mermaid. A real mermaid.

These delightful beauties dazzled the audience on both sides of the red carpet, but not to the point of madness, but then a pair of men and women on the scene, immediately let the whole red carpet scene boiled up.

Lin Mingyang didn't think that the Oscar organizing committee would arrange him and Julie together, anyway, as long as the two of them appeared together, it was definitely an eternal topic on the red carpet. Ever since they met, it was as if Venus and Mars had met, everything, so dazzling, so incredible, yet so relevant, so just right. The two have collaborated on films that have been a hit with audiences every time. The outside world on their relationship speculation, all kinds of gossip is rumored all over the sky, but the two still do what I do, the kind of crazy charm in the red carpet set off waves and waves of cheers and screams.

Jolie on the red carpet every appearance is like a goddess, but she did not have a particularly eye-catching or ultra-popular attire, but every time she performed so appropriate. The elegant little black dress she wore today was itself not dictated by current fashions, and it seemed to signal Julie's determination to stay above the fashion fray. Low-cut, high waistline, high slit see-through black dress outfit, in the sexy and noble at any time switch between, as for the choice of sexy or noble, Julie just with the eyes will be able to easily manage.

Other actresses walk the red carpet, everyone is to comment on their dress with, only Julie outstanding, people on her comments have not been limited to the dress of the gorgeous, and more attention to the details of the dress. Jolie today on the most striking when the pure and elegant green emerald teardrop earrings, even in the East, there are few people will emerald green to wear such a good look, but at the same time can be combined with the most popular fashion elements. Julie's unrivaled imperial aura overwhelmed the crowd and deservedly became the queen of the red carpet at the Oscars.

Lin Mingyang is still a simple three-piece dress, black suit and shirt with bow tie, specially stored up sexy moustache, lazy eyes, the corner of the mouth evil smile, simple and simple still fascinated ten thousand people.

Today two people on the red carpet performance can be described as bold to the extreme, black clothes and black skirt perfect echo also even if, Lin Mingyang very natural hand wrapped around Julie's waist, Julie's small half of the body is also very cooperative with his body, and each other look at each other eyes ambiguous and even ignored the audience around the reporter. Previously there were male and female stars who played like this on the red carpet, but definitely not as high as the two of them are playing today.

Lin Mingyang and Julie as long as they appear together, even if they pretend not to know each other, the media can also find ways to link the two together, cover up instead of wanting to cover up, left and right media will have to say, Lin Mingyang and Julie do not mind letting the storm to come a little more fierce!
