8月26日口譯文章:名流婚禮防泄密的那些招數
“機密的”名流婚禮:在交際媒體時期,它與“復出”和“無錯誤仳離”同樣,是好萊塢的抵觸潤飾法。
即使如斯,從想闊別狗仔隊窺測鏡頭、舉行不暴光婚禮的名大家數來看,機密婚禮已成為宜萊塢最主要的位置意味之一(比來一次是8月5日,詹妮弗·安妮斯頓[Jennifer Aniston]和賈斯汀·泰魯[Justin Theroux]在洛杉磯貝爾-艾爾區家中靜靜舉辦婚禮)。
媒體對許多伉儷的機密婚禮有過各類預測,好比卡梅隆·迪亞茲(Cameron Diaz)和本吉·麥登(Benji Madden)、約翰尼·德普(Johnny Depp)和安珀·赫德(Amber Heard),和祖伊·德夏內爾(Zooey Deschanel)和雅各布·佩切尼克(Jacob Pechenik)。總的來講,他們勝利地暗裏舉行了婚禮,沒有被小報打攪。
得到使人艷羨的婚禮約請的名流同夥們仿佛都曉得,現在加入名流婚禮時,在簽隨處送上的第一份禮品應當是保密。
“我乃至不敢評論辯論那場婚禮,由於每小我都被請求絕對保密,”前不久,安妮斯頓和泰魯婚禮的來賓霍華德·斯特恩(Howard Stern)在SiriusXM的播送節目中說(固然,“霍華德·斯特恩的謹嚴”也是一種抵觸潤飾法。這位留著蛇形卷發的電台主持人很快泄漏,婚禮主持人是吉米·基梅爾[Jimmy Kimmel])。
無論明星何等想保密,泄密都是弗成防止的。
好比,安妮斯頓和她異常愛好杜卡迪摩托車(Ducati)的丈夫在婚禮前扯了個大謊。聽說,他們把婚禮器具藏在閣下的一個空屋子裏,沒告知來賓是請他們來加入婚禮,而是說加入泰魯的44歲誕辰派對。
然則不到幾天,酷愛八卦消息的"大眾,"已曉得了來賓名單(包含麗莎·庫卓[Lisa Kudrow]、奧蘭多·布盧姆[Orlando Bloom]和萊克·貝爾[Lake Bell])、安妮斯頓的婚紗格式(夏季波西米亞作風)和蛋糕樣式(木偶主題)。
《TMZ》和《人物》(People)雜誌頒布了許多從高空拍攝的後院園地照片,和運蛋糕的賣家的隱約照片。然則尚未湧現這對伉儷本人的照片,愛八卦的"大眾,"乃至不克不及在腦筋中想象一下婚禮的排場,就像那種多年後仍然常常被回想的皇家婚禮照片。
現實上,光是明星們的盡力還不敷。連最機密的婚禮也是須要團體協作,以是終極要靠賣力整場運動的婚禮謀劃師來確保全部人——包含來賓在內——遵照保密協議。
“沒有中央線路:要末絕對保密,要末誰都曉得,”馬西·布盧姆(Marcy Blum)說。她曾籌備過幾位名流的婚禮,包含2013年勒布龍·詹姆斯(LeBron James)異常私密的婚禮(紙質約請函上乃至沒有解釋時光和所在)。“由於有電話,《TMZ》乃至不須要靠監督婚禮去獲得泄密。每小我均可所以查詢拜訪記者。”
下面是幾位一流婚禮謀劃師評論辯論名流機密婚禮的新規矩(采訪內容經由編纂和刪省)。
對全部婚禮都同樣,最主要的便是所在,所在,所在:“竅門是探求難以達到的園地。任何能從海上達到的所在都更易被媒體找到。假如真的想保密,那就在一個修建物內舉行婚禮。那樣人們看到婚禮的機遇就少了許多。你也能夠用帳篷。不外遺憾的是,那有個題目。全遮起來會影響視線,還怎樣讓排場仍然俏麗浪漫呢?”——喬安妮·格雷戈利(JoAnn Gregoli),紐約文雅嘉會公司(Elegant Occasions)全部者之一
只約請好友,收縮來賓名單:“假如真的想保密,那末來賓要少於100人,那真的是很高的請求。第二,像詹妮弗·安妮斯頓或賈斯汀·汀布萊克(Justin Timberlake)和傑西卡·貝爾(Jessica Biel)那樣,不告知來賓婚禮所在,那樣有助於保密。在謀劃勒布龍的婚禮時,咱們在約請函上說會在西海岸的某個處所舉行,然則沒有詳細解釋所在。在咱們檢察肯定受邀來賓或其代表後,才致電告訴所在。不外,你很少能滿有把握。他們的個中一張請柬就出如今《TMZ》雜誌上。”——馬西·布盧姆,紐約馬西·布盧姆合股公司(Marcy Blum Associates)
周密看管園地四周:“題目是,一旦有新聞泄漏給一家媒體,那就像用一個動物屍首餵食一群沙魚,其他媒領會簇擁所致。幾年前,我在漢普頓籌備一場婚禮,有一些異常有名的音樂人出席,我在園地四周每七英尺設一個保安。媒領會在表面蹲守,期待新聞泄漏。他們不但是當天湧現。他們會跟供給奢華房車、發機電大概帳篷的人攀談。咱們必需提早四五天設置保安。”——安德烈婭·科雷亞萊(Andrea Correale),紐約文雅運動包辦公司(Elegant Affairs Caterers)
簽署書面文件:“這類級其余運動現場每每會有兩三百人。你須要擔憂的不但是酒菜包辦人,還包含樂工、家具租賃商和織物商等許多供給商。你必需簽好司法協定,確保其他公司的人也不會泄密。你做得一絲不茍,不放過任何細節,但到了末了,你仍然沒法掌握統統。”——安德烈婭·科雷亞萊
留動手機,縱情介入派對:“除非你能讓每位來賓,包含表哥甚麽的,都簽訂保密協議,那末沒甚麽是滿有把握的。以是咱們在客房裏留了一封信,寫道:‘咱們至心等待您的出席。請不要帶電話,假如帶了,咱們將請您把它留在簽隨處。’然後咱們把電話整頓好,零丁放入塑料袋,表面貼上編號。不是由於新郎新娘太多疑。而是由於參預的也有許多不著名的人,好比堂(表)兄弟姐妹和大學室友。以是他們不願望名流高朋被打攪,被請求自拍合影。這是婚禮,不是走紅毯。”——馬西·布盧姆
無人能趕過於規矩之上:“你可以對來賓們說‘請不要拍照’,但你曉得他們會在Instagram上宣布照片,以是咱們會說,‘請把電話存起來’。你可以請求他們關機,但他們不必定照做。有些人會很朝氣,不想廢棄電話。有一次,一名名流對我說,‘嘿,我不會那末做的。’咱們就必需盯著誰人人。你很輕易斷定他們在做甚麽。假如或人只是想攝影,他拍完就會把電話放下。但若他拍完開端打字,那他就在泄密。”——喬安妮·格雷戈利
斟酌調集空中軍隊:“實在也便是從客歲開端,這些雜誌開端購置無人機。他們可以或許啟動無人機,讓它們在低空回旋。你能把一架裝有攝像機的無人機下降一個處所,而險些不被發覺。前不久我在漢普頓籌備一場婚禮,一架無人機在水面上回旋。咱們沒有方法阻攔它。它們比曩昔的直升機更煩人。曩昔的直升機上得有一組電視攝像職員,並且你得比及節目播出。如今,他們把無人機拍到的畫面險些及時地宣布到YouTube、Periscope和Twitter上。對名流們來講,這很恐怖。你能怎樣辦呢:把它們打下來?”——喬安妮·格雷戈利

A “secret” celebrity wedding: In the age of social media, it seems like a Hollywood oxymoron on the order of “late-career comeback” and “no-fault divorce.”
Even so, to judge by the number of celebrities trying off-the-grid nuptials, far from the prying lenses of the paparazzi (Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux, married Aug. 5 in a quiet ceremony at their home in the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles, are but the latest), the underground wedding has become one of Hollywood’s biggest status symbols.
Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, and Zooey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik are among the many couples to attract intense media speculation over their stealth unions, which generally managed to unfold in private without the tabloid scrum.
The famous friends who earn coveted invitations seem to acknowledge that, among the celebrity class, the No. 1 wedding gift on every registry these days is silence.
“I’m afraid to even talk about that wedding because everyone is on top-secret lockdown,” Howard Stern, a guest at the Aniston-Theroux ceremony, said on a recent SiriusXM broadcast. (“Howard Stern discretion,” of course, is another oxymoron; the Medusa-haired shock jock promptly let slip that Jimmy Kimmel had presided over the ceremony.)
No matter how much stars try to hide under the dome of silence, leaks are inevitable.
Ms. Aniston and her Ducati-loving husband, for instance, tried a major head-fake before their ceremony, reportedly hiding their party gear in a vacant house next door and telling guests they were being invited to Mr. Theroux’s 44th birthday party, not a wedding.
But within days, the tabloid-hungry public already knew about the guest list (which included Lisa Kudrow, Orlando Bloom and Lake Bell), Ms. Aniston’s dress (summery, boho-inspired) and their cake (Muppets-themed).
TMZ and People published numerous photos of the backyard setup, taken from high overhead, and grainy shots of a vendor carrying the cake. But no photos have emerged of the couple themselves, denying the gossip-hungry public even a mental image of the affair, the kind that can linger for years after, say, a royal wedding.
The truth is, the best efforts of the stars are not enough. Even the most discreet wedding is a team effort, so it comes down to the wedding planners, charged with overseeing the whole affair, to make sure that everyone, guests included, observes the lockdown.
“There’s no midpoint: It’s absolute secrecy, or it’s everywhere,” said Marcy Blum, the planner for several celebrity weddings, including LeBron James’s 2013 hyper-private event (the printed invitations did not even list a time or place). “Because of cellphones, TMZ doesn’t have to stake out a wedding for there to be a leak. Everyone’s an investigative reporter.”
Here are a few A-list planners discussing the new rules of the hush-hush celebrity wedding. (The following interviews have been edited and condensed).
In Weddings, Too, It’s Location, Location, Location: “The secret is, look for venues that are hard to get to. Anything with ocean access is easier to get to for the press. If secrecy is really a problem, do it inside a building. Then the chances of people seeing it are a lot less. Or you can use a tent. But sadly, there lies the problem. How do you make it beautiful and romantic without compromising the vision by having to cover it all up?” — JoAnn Gregoli, an owner of Elegant Occasions in New York.
Keep Your Friends Close and Your Guest List Closer: “If you really want to keep it secret, you have to invite fewer than 100 guests, and that is really pushing it. Second, like in the case of Jennifer Aniston, or Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, it helps if people have no idea where they are going. When we planned LeBron’s wedding, we sent an invitation that said it was going to take place somewhere on the West Coast, but we didn’t give details until we called them back, after we vetted them to make sure it was an invited guest or their representative. Still, it’s rarely foolproof. One of their save-the-dates showed up on TMZ.” — Marcy Blum, Marcy Blum Associates, New York.
Secure the Perimeter: “The problem is, once something leaks to one press outlet, it’s like sharks feeding on a dead carcass. They swarm. I did a wedding a few years back in the Hamptons involving some very well-known artists in the music industry, and we had security every seven feet around the perimeter of the property. The media will sit outside, waiting for leaks. And they don’t just show up the day of. They’ll be talking to people who provide luxury trailers, the generators, it could be the tenting company. We have to plant security four or five days in advance.” — Andrea Correale, Elegant Affairs Caterers, New York.
Establish a Paper Trail: “Very often in an event of this magnitude, you have two to three hundred people on site. It’s not just the caterers you have to worry about. There are lots of vendors involved: musicians, people renting lounge furniture, fabric people. You have to make sure you get the proper forms signed so no one in the other companies leaks word, either. You dot your I’s and cross your T’s, but in the end of the day, you can’t control everything.” — Andrea Correale.
Spare the Phones, Spoil the Party: “Unless you’re going to make every single guest including Cousin Harry sign a nondisclosure agreement, then nothing is foolproof. So we leave a letter in the guest rooms saying: ‘We really want you to be present for this. Please don’t bring a cellphone, if you do bring it we’re going to ask you to leave it at the check-in desk.’ Then we organize them and put them in separate plastic bags with the number on the outside. It’s not about the couple being so paranoid. There are a lot of non-famous people there. It could be a cousin, an old college roommate. It’s about the couple not wanting the famous guests to be bothered by the non-famous guests for selfies. It’s a wedding, not a red carpet event.” — Marcy Blum.
No One Is Above the Law: “With guests, you can say ‘Please don’t take pictures,’ but you know they’re going to Instagram it, so we have just said, ‘Please deposit your phones.’ You can ask them to shut them off, but they won’t. Some people take great umbrage and don’t want to give up their phones. There was a celebrity once who told me, ‘Hey, I’m not going to do it.’ We just had to watch that person. You can always tell what they’re doing. If someone takes a picture just to take a picture, they put the phone down. But if they take a shot and start typing simultaneously, they’re leaking it out.” — JoAnn Gregoli.
Consider Calling in the Air Force: “Really only in the last year, these magazines are buying drones. They are able to launch them, hover them low. You could drop a drone outfitted with video cameras into a property almost undetected. At one event I did recently in the Hamptons, one came in over the water. There is no way we could have stopped it. They are a lot more annoying than helicopters ever were. Before, with a helicopter, you had a TV crew on board, and you’d have to wait for the show to air. Now with drones, they can put it on YouTube, on Periscope, on Twitter, almost in real time. To the world of celebrities, that is horrible. What do you do: Shoot them down?” — JoAnn Gregoli.
