Chapter 426

With steady steps, Eliot cotter walked into the hall on the first floor of the hospital and looked around like a scanner. However, the daily busy scene didn't look special, and even the slightly busy crowd couldn't be found. This made Eliot confused. Did no one really find the secret?

Whether it's right or wrong, now that we've all come here, we still need to find out.

He gathered his mind for a moment, skillfully stepped forward and inquired about the front desk. Then, without any pause, he walked straight towards the building where the rehabilitation center was located. After entering the target building, his pace slowed down. Seemingly casual, he looked around the rehabilitation room, waiting room, rest room and corridor, Looking for their target people.

Recently, the focus of North America has been on Hollywood.

There is only one week left for the Oscars ceremony, and the long awarding season is finally coming to an end. Who will be the final winner of this year is absolutely eye-catching.

This year's competition is extremely fierce. Two days before the voting deadline, negative news is still coming out. It's like a wonderful drama. After you sing, I'll be on the stage. Until the last moment, the winner is still unpredictable.

The competition between "social network" and "the king's speech" is almost tearing. The Weinstein brothers discredit their opponents by no means.

Before, Mark Zuckerberg publicly said that he did not like the film "social network", which is not unusual. Surprisingly, even Eduardo Saverin, who has a positive image in the film, is not very popular, and thinks that the film is a wrong interpretation of his personal image.

At the same time, the competition between "black swan" and "children are all very good" has entered a white hot stage. Natalie Portman's "double door" is getting hotter and hotter, as if she has already stood on the top of the storm.

Entertainment Weekly boldly speculates that during the Toronto Film Festival, Natalie tried to cover up the news of her relationship with Benjamin by making use of the scandal. Her fundamental purpose was to rush for the Oscars and planned in advance. Although there is no direct evidence for this news and no direct or indirect response has been given by the parties concerned, it still caused an uproar.

Natalie's voice after the film plummeted. Correspondingly, the voice of Annette bening began to rise, especially when her co star Julian Moore was absent from the nomination list. She also called for Annette's platform in person, and all the support waves began to gather towards Annette.

In contrast, David finch has given up the publicity of the award season and started to concentrate on the shooting of "the girl with Dragon Tattoo", which makes the news much worse. Even the news that lanli entered the waiting list of the leading actor failed to take away the style of the award season.

But just because of this, almost all media and artists are flocking to Los Angeles. The news focus and hot spots are the same. It's not easy to report something new or dig out some different hot spots.

Of course, even so, at the end of the awards season, Los Angeles is still a carnival of paparazzi and journalists. It doesn't take much effort to surround a large number of artists - it's just that the press releases are repeated, and the difficulty of digging exclusive news has multiplied. It's acceptable that there are gains and losses.

If he hadn't heard of a hot rumor, Eliot would still be in Los Angeles, following Natalie like a shadow. He always felt that after the voting deadline, the negative news would still be endless, and there should be something to dig out; But this rumor is too strong for Eliot to ignore.

Rumor has it that lanli is seriously ill, or even incurable, and is now undergoing secret treatment.

So far, only a few people know about this rumor. It's said that an ordinary user posted a status on Facebook, saying that when he visited his dying uncle who was suffering from cancer, he saw that Langley hall was receiving treatment. Originally, he intended to come forward to say hello, but lanli was in a very bad state, weak, and hanging a little bit, so he just nodded politely, then turned and left.

Attached to this state is a picture of a young boy with a woolen cap sitting on a chair, his left hand connected to a drop, and his body is thin.

However, the photo is not clear, and there is only one side face, a faint outline can be seen, but it is not sure whether it is lanli or not; In addition, the user's friends are not many, only less than 30 people, so it did not spread widely.

When Eliot heard the news, his first reaction was: it's ridiculous. It's just a fantasy. But when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he found something strange.

During the busiest period of the award season, Lan Li, who has just won his first acting nomination in his career, has disappeared. It seems that it has nothing to do with this public relations game. In this year's battle for movie king, Lan Li, who is the youngest, most popular and most talked about, has been completely ignored, let alone won the award, Even the voice of competition disappeared.

Among the current five candidates for movie king, lanli's voice is even lower than that of Javier Baden, who just got the golden man three years ago and is a foreign language actor this year. He is almost invisible.

If we say that the focus film industry leans all its resources towards Annette, and lanli is only 21 years old, winning the nomination is the biggest victory, so the public relations activities are not actively carried out; So it's really strange that Langley missed this year's nominees lunch.

The so-called nominees lunch, as the name suggests, is a banquet attended by all the Oscar nominees.

On the surface, this luncheon is to give praise and affirmation to all nominees, because on the night of the award ceremony, some nominees from technical departments, as well as nominees who are not well-known, are estimated to be difficult to steal the light from the red carpet, which is just a foil background; What's more, the nomination depends on strength, and the award depends on luck. There is only one winner and only one focus, and other nominators will be ignored. Therefore, the college specially held this lunch to focus on each nominator and let them enjoy the moment of glory.

But in fact, this is an official public relations event, because in addition to the nominators, senior leaders of the college and a small number of professional media in the industry are invited. In such an occasion, the nominees who have the hope to compete for xiaojinren will launch the final PR sprint; The nominees with little hope will expand their contacts and lay a solid foundation for future development.

Generally speaking, no one is absent from the nominees' lunch. Besides Woody Allen, the nominees' lunch attendance rate is even higher than that of the award ceremony——

Because on the night of the ceremony, the seats in the venue are limited, so are the guests that each crew can attend. Take the producer department as an example. Generally speaking, only five producers can attend the award ceremony, and three producers can express their acceptance speech. If other producers want to attend, they will occupy the places in other positions of the crew.

But such a restriction does not exist in the nominees' luncheon. Every nominated work, every nominating department and every nominees can be present collectively.

However, Langley was absent.

Many reporters have noticed Lan Li's absence. As the most popular new actor in recent months, how could he not notice his absence?

In fact, two actresses, Jennifer Lawrence and Haley Stanfield, together with Langley, are generally regarded as the new generation of this year's Oscars. They represent the future, and every media will report more or less. But now, the only actor representative did not attend!

It's really weird.

As a result, reporters all asked Andy Rogers one after another. As lanli's agent, Andy finally opened up the situation and made everyone realize that contacting him is tantamount to contacting lanli. In this way, the future work will be much smoother.

Andy said that Langley is now shooting a brand new work, absent nominees lunch, Langley is more sorry than anyone else. But in order to offer better works, lanli chose to devote himself to his work.

As the Oscars draw near, take on new works. This is not unusual.

In 2008, after Viggo Mortensen won the Oscar nomination with "Oriental promise", he completely missed the whole award season and went to shoot "Appaloosa town"; After Joaquin Phoenix was shortlisted for best supporting actor in 2001 with "Gladiator", he went to shoot "omen".

There are two possibilities for such a situation. One is that the party concerned is not interested in the public relations of the college, and is tired of the social activities of toasting and toasting; Another is that the shooting work is very important. The agent or actor chooses the latter in the choice. Of course, one of the reasons is that the parties themselves don't pay so much attention to Oscar. Jackie Kun belongs to this category.

This time, the reporters suddenly opened their brains. Has Lan Li decided to play "the girl with Dragon Tattoo"? Is he preparing for the film now? Or with David Finch, who was absent from most of the PR activities in the second half of the season?

After becoming famous in one fell swoop, take off with the trend, such cases are numerous in Hollywood, the cooperation between Langley and David? And the girl with the dragon tattoo? It's absolutely hot news! Everyone began to dig news in this direction.

Originally, Eliot thought the same way, but after hearing such a powerful rumor, he changed his mind. So, he appeared in Seattle!
