Chapter 102

The movie was over, and the emotions of all the audience at the scene could finally be vented. While watching Frank's impassioned speech just now, some people started whistling and applauding, but since the movie wasn't over yet, they had to suppress themselves until After the subtitles appeared on the big screen, the pent-up enthusiasm of the audience was fully condensed into applause at this moment, filling the Fox Theater to the fullest.

Hugo sat in his seat, still sighing a little. This is not the first time he has watched "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". He has seen this movie before crossing the road, and more than once, but this time the viewing experience is completely different. In the past, when Hugo watched this movie, his eyes almost focused on Al's wonderful performance, a tango, a drag racing, and a speech, all of which left a deep image in his mind. But now, Hugo can see more things, see his performance, and see the movie reveal a deeper meaning.

Movies, especially classic movies, are really a magical carrier. They not only carry people's emotions, but also have a different experience every time they watch. Maybe bad films can also see new complaints, while good films will age like old wine and become more fragrant.

In a trance, Hugo remembered the reason why he likes movies: because it can hold people's inner emotions, positive and negative, profound and shallow, complicated and simple, all of them.

The applause in his ears was not intense, because there were only less than 300 people watching the movie, but this applause meant far more to Hugo than simple admiration, and it was a kind of affirmation to Hugo. When the movie ended, Hugo sat in the chair, excited and timid, afraid to look back, because he was afraid to see the disappointed expressions of the audience, and he was afraid that his performance would destroy this classic movie, until the applause When it came, Hugo's cold and stiff limbs suddenly warmed up.

Looking back, in the dim lights of the cinema, Hugo saw unfamiliar faces but with similar emotions: Passionate, Frank's speech stirred the blood in everyone's heart to an unusual degree. , that's the beauty of the movie. At this moment, Hugo's chest was filled with a warm gas, and that inexplicable emotion reverberated in his heart, which made Hugo a little overwhelmed, and finally encouraged his hands, the real feeling of palm-to-palm contact Only then did Hugo's emotions get vented, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed.

"We should go forward." Al patted Hugo on the shoulder and looked directly in front of the theater seats. Martin, Bo and the others had already walked over. Only then did Hugo realize that this was the premiere of his own movie. As the starring role, the end of the movie screening was not the end. He also needed to be interviewed by the media and asked by the audience.

This is the first time that Hugo has stood in front of everyone to be scrutinized. This feeling is very different from the red carpet of the premiere. It feels like he is surrounded by flashlights all over his body. It's a wonderful feeling to be in the air.

"Hugo, your performance in the film is very good. It can be said that you are completely different from your performance in 'Hudson's Eagle'. Did you have any special feelings during the shooting process?" Most of the previous questions were still Focus on the director Martin and the actor Al. After all, they are the most important. As for Hugo as a supporting role, it took two rounds before ushered in the first question.

Faced with such a question, Hugo chuckled lightly, "Uh, I think the most important thing is to stop thinking about the last movie." Hugo's self-joking made the scene laughed lightly, "This film Al helped a lot in the making of the film, he is a great actor, and I have to express my gratitude and respect."

"What do you think about the Golden Raspberry Awards?" Another reporter immediately threw this explosive question.

Hugo shrugged and nodded slightly, "I hope Al won't be dragged down by me." Hugo's witty answer did not shy away from the sharp question, but he did not shy away from it. Instead, he used a sideways approach. Responded, with a bit of self-deprecation and humor, but also reminiscent of Hugo's excitement at the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony, quite hilarious.

The audience burst into laughter, and Al even hugged Hugo's shoulders, patted Hugo's chest, and said with a smile, "If your performance is to be nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award, , then I don’t mind winning the award.” Al also expressed his support for Hugo positively in front of the media, which was very rare, but instead, Hugo lost his wit and laughed a little embarrassedly.

Before the release of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", most of the media were not optimistic about this work. This kind of negative remarks almost took the advantage of one-sided, but because everyone did not have much expectations, after entering the cinema, The surprise is even greater. The media interviews after the premiere were enjoyable. Although the reporters were still reluctant to let go of the Hugo's Golden Raspberry Award, at least the atmosphere was no longer stiff and sarcastic.

However, the atmosphere of the scene is one thing, the comments written by professional film critics are another, and don’t forget, the feedback from the audience is also another. All this is unknown.

Waking up early the next morning, Hugo, who couldn't sleep all night because he was worried about the comments, walked towards the kitchen with heavy and stiff steps like a walking corpse with two dark circles under his eyes. After reaching the kitchen, Hugo forgot again. What to do, staring blankly at the kitchen utensils around, with a dazed look on his face, he could only float back to the living room like a ghost, and slumped on the sofa like a deflated ball.

When Charlize woke up, this was what he saw, while Alex was standing in the bathroom door brushing his teeth, watching Hugo on the sofa smiling helplessly. Charlize walked to the bathroom door wearing a simple T-shirt, sweatpants and slippers. Alex originally wanted to move out of the way for Charlize to use the bathroom, but Charlize stopped at the door and leaned against the wall, "he What's wrong?"

Alex said vaguely, and only heard a "comment", Charlize immediately understood, it seems that Hugo is worried about the "scent of a woman" movie review. After Alex went to spit out the foam in his mouth, he said again, "He turned around in the room last night, and I could hear his anxiety through the wall. After waking up in the morning , he just sat there for a quarter of an hour." Having said that, Alex looked at Charlize and added excitedly, "It's just after I get up."

Neither Charlize nor Alex had ever experienced such a situation, so naturally they couldn't understand Hugo's anxiety, but found it a little funny. In fact, the two of them had been telling Hugo last night that the media comments would definitely be good, because the response to the premiere was excellent, and there was no need to worry at all, but no amount of comfort could calm Hugo's anxiety.

Charlize pouted, crossed his hands on his chest, walked to the sofa, and kicked Hugo's left foot with his right foot. As a result, Hugo turned his head slowly, and his amber eyes were covered with slender eyelashes. Blocking it, you can't see the light in your eyes at all, it's just blurry. Charlize asked dumbfoundedly, "You haven't slept all night?"

"Maybe." Hugo's brain was very slow, maybe he didn't know whether he slept or not last night. In the past, Hugo thought it was incredible when he saw other people's comments on the movie, and the box office was at stake, but when it was his turn, Hugo realized how terrible it was.

Looking at Hugo's state, Charlize's mischievous mentality emerged. She looked left and right, raised her hand to greet Alex and walked over with him, and Alex, who was unknown, was still holding a towel in his hand. Came over, and then saw Charlize behaving a bit, and Alexton laughed.

I saw two people resisting one side of the sofa, then shaking the sofa violently at the same time, and shouting in a panic, "Earthquake! Earthquake!"

Hugo, who was lying on the sofa and wandering out of the sky, jumped up and shouted, "Earthquake! Earthquake!" Then he looked around, as if he was looking for a way to escape, but he didn't have time to start. , I saw Charlize and Alex laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

It was only then that Hugo came back to his senses, looked at the room that was not shaking at all, and realized that he had been tricked by a prank. Hugo also had a helpless smile on his face. Later, after thinking about his silly behavior just now, he laughed too, the more he thought about it, the more laughable he became.

Hugo knew that his gains and losses were still too important, otherwise he wouldn't have been sleepless last night. It is precisely because of the applause and support from the audience at the premiere that I have more expectations for media comments. This kind of mentality of worrying about gains and losses is really speechless.

At this time, someone opened the door of the room with a key. You didn't even have to look to know that it was Joseph. In order to facilitate work, Joseph and Carl were both equipped with the key to the door on the third floor. Then, as soon as Joseph came in, he saw three people standing scattered beside the sofa, hugging their stomachs and laughing, making Joseph confused.

Hugo was the first to see Joseph's figure, he restrained himself a little, and rubbed his aching eyes, "What's the matter, you got up so early?"

"Can't sleep." Joseph said frankly, there was also a faint shadow under his eyes, and his nervousness was no less than Hugo, or even more serious. Because Hugo still knows that the film "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" is a classic that has been affirmed by many, but Joseph does not have this advantage.

Taking a deep breath, Joseph said, "I just received the news that the first media comment has come out."

As soon as these words came out, the laughter of Charlize and Alex also stopped, and they couldn't help but look at Joseph. Although they are not parties, they are equally concerned about the results of Hugo's works. It's just that Alex's smile was too sudden, and he didn't change it in one breath. He actually hiccupped, "Uh!" Breaking the short silence, the three bystanders couldn't hold back, and they all thumped together. Laugh out loud.
