Chapter 1056: 1056
At this time, Hugo was very helpless, very helpless, and even so helpless that he wanted to get angry.
Hugo has experienced such a scene - surrounded by enthusiastic fans, and not only once, but also very embarrassed on several occasions, but none of them have been as exaggerated as today. Originally Hugo thought this was Park City, this was Sundance, this was a feast for independent films, people would be more rational, people would be dismissive of so-called stars, and people would be more focused on the film itself.
Hugo even thought about the scene where no one knew him after he appeared, and he didn't know if he would have a little mental imbalance. But even after being recognized, Hugo believes that these fans should communicate with him warmly and friendly.
But Hugo has overlooked one point, everything has two sides. Because indie films are so niche, it makes these groups more cohesive, more professional, and more frenzied. Just like rock, glam rock is no longer the mainstream of music. Even among the many categories of rock, it is not prosperous. Those who like glam rock are a very small group of people, which can definitely be called a niche niche. . But this small group of fans is getting crazier, and their frenzy is what keeps glam rock going. The same goes for independent films.
Now the importance of Hugo to independent films is self-evident, especially Hugo's rejection of the Golden Globe Award to choose Sundance, which has made Hugo unprecedented in independent film comprehension. Although Hugo's commercial attributes are bound to become the complaints and contempt of many independent film enthusiasts, they cannot ignore the fact that the attention Hugo brings to independent films is precisely this world that has been forgotten by the mainstream media. most needed.
When Robert Redford founded the Sundance Film Festival, he hoped to give independent films a stage to showcase, and Hugo brought the spotlight to this stage. They need this spotlight.
So, when Hugo showed up, this group of fanatics went completely crazy. Even someone like Kayla who was always sane and had seen Hugo many times lost his mind, let alone everyone else?
Hugo just felt that he was about to be overwhelmed, and countless hands were constantly greeting him. At first, these hands were constantly pulling on his clothes. His T-shirt and sweater had been torn and deformed, as if they would fall apart at any time. , even his trouser belt was torn off; then the scene began to get out of control, these hands not only pulled his clothes, but also began to "stroking. Touch" his body, from chest to abdomen and even crotch, This made Hugo feel that there was no place on his body that was safe.
This is not just the level of rabid fans, it even makes Hugo feel violated.
But these irrational fans apparently didn't notice -- or wouldn't give up even if they did. They longed to touch Hugo, just as religious fanatics longed to see Jesus and God, when they actually saw Jesus. In person, the frenzy is fully released and can no longer be stopped. Now Hugo to them is Jesus.
As more and more hands reached out, even if Joseph and Samora blocked a lot, Hugo still felt unable to resist. The main reason is that Hugo and others did not expect such a crazy scene, and even the experienced Rick did not expect it, so Hugo was only accompanied by Joseph and Samora when he traveled.
After that, the strength of these hands became stronger and stronger, because the scene gradually got out of control, and their sanity completely disappeared. There was only one thought in their minds to touch Hugo. As for the method and strength, it was not something that was considered. Then the hands started "beating" Hugo continuously, slapping Hugo's chest, back and cheeks with arms in every direction, which made him completely overwhelmed.
What does it mean that two fists are invincible to four hands, Hugo has thoroughly experienced it today.
If it was just like this, Hugo would feel helpless, but it was still within the control range. Although the scene was out of control today, the scene of this super-popular explosion is still within the scope of imagination; but now Hugo But he wanted to get angry, and the anger in his chest was almost uncontrollable.
Because at this moment, there was a little girl holding Hugo's thigh, holding it tightly, like a koala.
The little girl came to Park City for the Sundance Film Festival with a large family, followed by at least five adults.
Hugo originally came out today to check the schedule of today's film screenings. Since he came to the Sundance Film Festival and did not watch some films, that is a real regret, because independent films always have many excellent works. It is easy to be ignored by people, and we can only wait for the precipitation of time to let them be discovered in ten or twenty years.
When Hugo met the little girl's family, the situation at the scene was not bad. About 30 people surrounded him, and everyone could basically maintain order. Seeing that people welcomed him so well, Hugo was kind enough to express his love for independent films.
Because Hugo knows that this group of movie fans is an audience who really loves movies. They not only regard movies as a means of entertainment, but also a spiritual sustenance and a great dream. They will not be picky about movie types and movie attributes, as long as they are Great films, whether commercial or independent, they are complimented on. Hugo likes to communicate with such fans.
At this time, the little girl's family gathered around. Hugo always had more patience for children. As Michael Jackson said, children are the least polluted group in the world, although Hugo also knew that many people were This weakness is used to make children do bad things, but there are still many good people and few bad people in the world. So when facing children, Hugo will communicate patiently. What's more, it doesn't happen often when you meet child fans.
As soon as the little girl came up, she exchanged less than two words with Hugo, and hugged Hugo's thigh tightly, because she hoped that Hugo could go home with her.
This made Hugo dumbfounded.
Hugo could only squat down and explain patiently to the little girl. He said that he still has work today. If he goes home with her, many people will be disappointed. Maybe he can wait for the next time. If she is willing, he can come. A guest at her house.
But the little girl still hugged Hugo's thigh tightly, and she blocked her back by saying "You're lying". Although what Hugo said just now was indeed a polite remark, but being blocked by the little girl, Hugo really didn't know what to say.
Of course Hugo couldn't follow the little girl home, otherwise if any of the fans asked Hugo to obey, he would not work. But because she was a child, Hugo had no way to refuse directly, which brought the situation to an impasse.
Hugo kept explaining to the child patiently, hoping that she would understand, and even Hugo had already nodded and promised to meet the girl at the hotel where she was staying this evening, but she still insisted. This made Hugo very helpless.
Hugo could only turn to the little girl's family for help, but she didn't expect that her family not only didn't help, but instead acquiesced to the little girl's behavior, which made Hugo feel a little uncomfortable. It can be felt that the little girl is somewhat willful - or very willful, that is, the kind of personality that never gives up if she can't get it, and her family seems to be very condoning.
Hugo tried to resolve the situation, but in just a few minutes, more and more people gathered around, and in the blink of an eye, at least 60 people surrounded him, and the situation at the scene was already very chaotic. .
Seeing such a scene, Hugo knew that if he didn't leave, the scene would get out of control. Hugo explained the situation to the little girl's family. For the safety of the child, they should also pull the little girl away first to prevent the crowd from swarming over and causing a stampede accident.
But I didn't expect that the little girl's family not only didn't stop her, but they surrounded her and built a wall around the little girl to block the crowd behind her.
Although it was only three years since Hugo crossed over to enter Hollywood, he had seen many scenes, and it was the first time he had seen such a rogue fan.
Seeing that the scene was so urgent, Hugo had no choice but to use tough tactics, wanting to pull the little girl away directly. He was worried about hurting the child, so he didn't dare to use too much force, but before he exerted any force, the little girl began to sharpen his head. Yelling, shouting sharply, as if Hugo were trying to murder her.
At this time, the surrounding situation had begun to slide towards the edge of being out of control. No one noticed the little girl's shouting, but the little girl's family was still surrounded by the side, as if they didn't see it. They did not accuse Hugo, but did not stop the little girl. girl. This struck Hugo as absurd.
As a last resort, Hugo finally asked Joseph and Samora to help—they wanted to help, but they were restrained by the other’s children, and Hugo didn’t want them to use violence—in the final analysis, it was rain If I didn't expect such a situation, I was too soft-hearted for the child. But now, if we don't step up, the situation will be irreversible.
Unexpectedly, the little girl's family suddenly came up to stop Joseph and Samora, being arrogant and unreasonable. Although they were not disrespectful to Hugo from beginning to end, and they did look like a fanatical adoration, but this completely angered Hugo: whether they had other plans or not, even if they were real fans, it made people Can not accept.
The obstruction of the little girl's family made Joseph and Samora very embarrassed. There were five people on the other side, but after all, there were only two of them. The little girl hugged Hugo's thigh and refused to let go. surrounded by people.
In desperation, Joseph and Samora could only rely on Hugo to resist the increasingly turbulent crowd around them. What's even more ridiculous is that the little girl was still holding Hugo's thigh, while her family was scattered by the crazy crowd, and only one person remained by the little girl's side.
But even so, the little girl still didn't let go.
This...this is really helpless, angry and disgusting.
