Chapter 1160: 1160 The Void of Fame and Fortune

"The vanity of fame and fortune! Who is intoxicated? Who is full of lust. Hope? Or, to have fame and fortune, to be content?"

Imagine a party that only the top people can attend, a party that only the real celebrities can attend, a party that gathers everyone's attention, just like the high society of the early nineteenth century, not everyone can enter, but once inside After that, you will see a whole new world. This is called Vanity Fair.

Attending Oscar night means status, everyone's attention, and everyone's envy. The colorful spotlights and flashes, the smiling flattery and the cowardice are intertwined, and it does have a fatal attraction, making people get lost in it. .

Look at the security check at the party today, this is not an occasion where you can get through customs with just one face. The first is the inspection of the parking permit, then the security at the gate confirms the face and the invitation letter, and then there is the third level: the black-haired woman in front of her will check her name on the general list, and only after making sure that each name is on the list , to enter.

This is not the end. Each name on the list was followed by a note. After Hugo noticed it, he raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What do the numbers at the back mean?"

Although the brunette had a smile on her face, it revealed a lingering estrangement, not at all drawn by Hugo's warm smile. Also, if she would be easily blinded by Hollywood stars, she would not be standing here as the person in charge of the third level.

"This is the admission time, and different guests have different admission times." The brunette woman explained politely, "You and your companions can enter now, I hope you have a good night."

Hugo didn't quite understand this. If the parking permit can distinguish the service level, it is easier to understand, but why should the admission time be different? However, the black-haired woman obviously had no plans to answer, and finally Rick explained, "Generally speaking, reporters are the last to enter because they need to leave 'private time' for others."

Hugo suddenly realized.

After the Oscars, the mood is definitely not good for those who lose, and the winner will also become the existence of the stars. Therefore, many private conversations will take place at this moment, and when reporters enter the venue, the scenes they see will be different.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but wonder, "Then there is a difference in the admission level of reporters, right?"

Hugo got an affirmative answer. Not only journalists, but also people in TV and modeling circles will come in relatively late; as well as columnists and behind-the-scenes staff in some newspapers and magazines.

Almost every detail and every step makes people feel the difference in courtesy, and at the same time pushes the light of Vanity Fair to a whole new level. It's no wonder that Oscar night has become the most high-profile presence in party-heavy Hollywood. The dream of countless people is to appear on Oscar night, which seems to be like a superstar club.

Hugo flipped the invitation letter in his hand. How many mysteries were hidden in this beautiful invitation letter with simple content? If you throw it out, how many people will go crazy about it? How many people are willing to pay a high price for this chapter invitation at this moment? Hugo inexplicably thought of Jin. The martial arts secrets that everyone wants to snatch in Yong martial arts novels are like... like Jiuyang Divine Art.

"It looks like you're in a good mood tonight." A voice made Hugo turn his head to look over, and the person who came was Tim Robbins. Although he was not nominated, he is now a member of the Hollywood first-tier group. He is a member of the "Intersection of Life" and "The Players Behind the Scenes" in the past two years. In addition to this year's "The Shawshank Redemption", he is actually one of the actors that Oscar has always owed. So it's not surprising that he was invited.

Hugo and Tim are just nodding acquaintances, but on Oscar night, everyone is nodding acquaintances, and everyone can talk when they meet. It took less than ten minutes for Hugo to arrive at the party. He had already seen four groups of people before and after. Cameron wanted to go to the bathroom, but he couldn't find a space. The result is to keep turning and leaving gracefully. It has to be said that such a party is an honor, but at the same time it is like a masquerade ball, where everyone wears a mask—a mask that allows them to achieve their goals.

However, Hugo's impression of Tim has always been good, so he saw the person coming, with a relaxed smile on his face, and replied, "Your mood tonight is not as bad as I thought."

Tim raised his eyebrows and looked at Hugo in surprise, as if he didn't understand what Hugo meant. Hugo explained with a smile, "It's a really depressing thing for such a great performance to not win a single nomination."

Thanks to Hugo's participation, the script of "The Shawshank Redemption" has indeed undergone a lot of changes, which also gives Tim more room to play. But unfortunately, Tim still failed to get the best actor nomination, losing to Morgan Freeman is not wrong, but losing to Nigel Hawthorne is really depressing.

Tim burst out laughing, "The time has passed." That means he was sad after the nomination was made, "Tonight is yours. As a bystander, I enjoyed tonight, it's hard Imagine what it would be like to be a client."

"You should talk to Tom...I mean Hanks." Hugo's words made Tim laugh again, because Tom Cruise was just two steps away, and when he heard this, he stopped. He stopped, and after hearing Hugo's explanation behind him, he shrugged helplessly before leaving. This is really fun. "For me, the most tense moment has passed." Hugo's eyes widened, a look of embarrassment.

Tim immediately understood that Hugo was mocking himself for his embarrassment when he won the Best Supporting Actor Award last year, which made Tim feel more relaxed, "Actually, during the filming process, Frank was quite The first time I mentioned you, I discussed with Morgan at that time that you really like the script, and many details are very thoughtful, which will help our performance a lot."

"Oh, come on, Frank has made me embarrassed already, you don't want to do it again, do you?" Hugo was saying that after the Golden Globe nominations came out, the reporter told Hugo that he was nominated for the Best Screenplay Award. , Hugo replied with a look of surprise, "Are you kidding me?" This matter was later talked about by many people.

It is estimated that Frank Darabont himself did not expect when he signed up that "The Shawshank Redemption" would surpass other works at the last moment, and received such a great affirmation. Because the movie was almost unheard of when it was released. So Frank put Hugo in the list of screenwriters, just to express his sincerity and gratitude, he didn't think so much, and naturally he didn't tell Hugo.

The smile at the corner of Tim's mouth rose, revealing dimples, making him look a little more childish, "But you can't deny that you are indeed an excellent screenwriter. I'm looking forward to 'Before the Sunrise' now? "

"You're making me shy," Hugo said with a chuckle. "So, are we going into compliment mode now? You know, I have a lot to say about your performance, 'The Shawshank Redemption'. ' But I'm looking at it first."

"Hahahaha." Tim's hearty laughter was not harsh in the midst of the loud music, but it was a little more innocent than his usual elegant and shy image. "No, no, I'm just here to express my admiration. Your performance in 'Pulp Fiction' is wonderful."

"This is really a positive sign." Hugo exhaled exaggeratedly, "There will be many occasions like this tonight to brag about each other, I don't want to go into this mode so soon, otherwise the smile will become stiff in the end. . At least, it doesn't need to be between friends."

"I heard that you and Morgan may cooperate next?" Tim changed the subject smoothly.

Hugo was a little surprised. Did Morgan and the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew have already negotiated? Still no news from Rick. However, Hugo did not show it on the surface, but said with a smile, "I hope so, I can make up for the regret that I missed before. You know, you can learn a lot from working with such an excellent actor as Morgan." Here, Hugo paused, "Oh, I forgot who I was talking to."

This is talking about "The Shawshank Redemption" again. Tim was amused by Hugo and shook his head with a smile, raised his hands, and expressed his surrender. While talking, Tim suddenly looked behind Hugo and showed a gentle smile. Before Hugo could look back, he saw a graceful woman walking by, hugging and kissing with Tim. a moment.

It was Susan Sarandon! The rising star of the late seventies is now an all-American. One of the representatives of a woman who is very emotional, and her superb acting skills are even more admirable. This year's Oscar nomination for Best Actress is the third nomination in the past five years! Hugo's deepest impression on her is undoubtedly "The Wild Flower", which is undoubtedly one of the most important masterpieces in Susan's acting career, with far-reaching influence.

"Good evening, dear Mr. Lancaster, where is your girlfriend?" Susan's brows revealed a charm when she spoke. Even though she was forty-nine years old this year, that charm was something that many young girls had in mind. Not available, the corners of the mouth are elegant but not sexual. The sensual smile is even more charming.

It was no surprise that Tim, who was twelve years younger than Susan, would fall in love with this woman.

"Dear Miss Sarandon, my female companion is trapped in the food processing factory, and I regret that I can't help." Hugo explained the so-called reincarnation of grains in English seriously, the corners of his mouth were always sketching shallowly. smile.

Susan was stunned for a while and didn't react. She wanted to make fun of Hugo, but she was choked. It was Tim who reacted first and laughed happily, leaving Susan confused.
