Chapter 1431 1431 Cope with Ease

Hugo's words obviously made Werner stunned - he couldn't figure out whether Hugo was joking or telling the truth, but instead, Hugo burst into laughter, especially the anxious expressions of the group of reporters in front of him as the background , even more joyful.

Many reporters have been in Hollywood for a long time. They also know that Hugo always likes to make jokes. This is also part of Hugo's affinity. Now they look at Werner's expression and are worried. If Werner Take it seriously, and then really cancel the interview session, which is really funny.

At this moment, Hugo clapped his hands and said with a smile, "As long as you don't ask questions in German, then I think I should be ready."

It was only at this moment that Werner realized that Hugo was joking just now—although he didn’t know where the humor was, he politely pulled the corners of his mouth and relaxed his tense shoulders, “Then let us journalists to show what they can do."

Werner turned his head to look at the group of reporters, and then saw that Hula La's arms were raised. Almost every reporter's face was full of earnestness and urgency, and countless arms were occupied in their sight. Werner was amazed in many big scenes. Obviously, this is not only the busiest day since the Berlin Film Festival kicked off this year, it is even a rare lively scene at the Berlin Film Festival in recent years.

Even when superstars like Elia. Kazan and Jack Lemmon appeared, they were not treated this way. This is the most direct manifestation of Hugo's current momentum. "No wonder Cannes has always wanted to win over Hollywood..." Werner couldn't help but sighed inwardly, but then he took his attention back and pointed to standing in the crowd. The reporter who was almost squeezed out of sight, "The first question is to 'Screen'."

In an instant, the reporters cast their gazes over, and the reporter who had been submerged in an arm finally stood up. He only felt that countless arrows flew over him, and he was about to become a porcupine in an instant. But he still took half a step forward under the pressure, so that he could be closer to Hugo.

When the reporters confirmed the identity of the lucky man, they curled their lips and took their eyes back-because the "Exhibition" magazine is the official publication of the Berlin Film Festival, no matter how upset they are, there is no way to change it. The fact that strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes.

"Mr. Lancaster, welcome to Berlin." As the landowner, the reporter still showed his friendliness, "As far as we know, the United States is also a season of many awards ceremonies, and because you are shooting a new film Among them, I refused to attend most of the award ceremonies, and this time I made a special trip to Germany to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, does that mean that Berlin has a special place in your heart?"

Sure enough, it's an official magazine, and the questions are very skillful. He mentioned the Golden Globes without any hesitation, and he hacked it. Then he focused the topic on the Berlin Film Festival. In this way, the question was the most popular recently. focus, without triggering a strong reaction from Hugo that would result in a refusal to answer. In particular, such questions are also very polite, and it is difficult for Hugo to directly avoid them.

Hugo has dealt with the media so many times that he immediately understood the twists and turns in it. He couldn’t help but glance at the reporter. Everyone had a rigid and serious impression of Germans, but these Germans Hugo met recently. Neither is the case, maybe only Roland is a little closer.

"This should be my chance to say good things to please the local German audience?" Hugo's simple joke made everyone burst into laughter, and even Werner couldn't hold back, he just laughed out loud, The atmosphere at the scene was invisibly buffered a lot. After everyone laughed a little, Hugo said, "Although this time I came to Berlin this time, it was a coincidence, but I can't deny my love for this city. love."

Hugo talked a lot, first simply pointed out that this attendance was a coincidence, not intentional, and did not continue to repeat the point of view at Los Angeles International Airport. superior.

Hugo briefly talked about how he felt when he arrived in the city twice, "It's as if people are curious about Turkey, which straddles the Eurasian continent. The Berlin Film Festival, which was founded during a special period, follows this cultural difference. The communication characteristics of the film make the whole film festival full of diverse characteristics.”

"I hope you're not simply referring to the difference between the two sides of the Berlin Wall." Werner made a slap in the face. This time Hugo realized it, and burst into laughter. In fact, the two sides of the Berlin Wall used to represent the difference between capitalism and socialism in name. This is not just a difference in architecture or economy, but also a difference rooted in the depths of the mind.

After Hugo raised this topic, the next few questions revolved around the Berlin Film Festival. When the reporters responded, they realized that in the face of the "premiering" reporter's question, Hugo avoided the important and took advantage of the situation. He took the initiative of the whole topic in his hands, and said nothing about the Golden Globes.

Faced with such a situation, reporters from North America were naturally reluctant. Now the entire North American news media are waiting for Hugo and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to confront each other. How could they be led by Hugo obediently? After finally waiting for Werner's roll call, a reporter got the right to ask questions, and he couldn't wait to ask, "Hugo, may I ask you to refuse to attend the Golden Globes, but now you are in Berlin, far away here. Is there something behind the incident that we don't know about?"

This problem can almost be said to be straight-forward. The problem of chasing and intercepting Los Angeles Airport was not discovered. It was thrown out in Berlin without any cover up, and it even detonated directly without breathing space.

In an instant, all the reporters turned their attention to the questioner, and many local German reporters even glared at them, obviously dissatisfied with this way of questioning, "Is the Golden Globe Award more noble than the Berlin Film Festival?" This is not only It's just a matter of the awards ceremony, it's more like a direct collision between the two cultures of Germany and the United States.

The reporter obviously didn't realize that because he was too urgent, there was ambiguity in his words, and he looked at everyone for unknown reasons.

Looking at the daggers in front of him, Hugo was very calm. He had already prepared for such a situation. He knew that the crows would never miss this opportunity, and he was 100% sure. Therefore, Hugo did not panic, but smiled and said in a relaxed and playful tone, "I don't know what the inside story is. If you know any news, can you tell me about it?"

Hugo's rebuttal made all the reporters who were eager to move stunned. Hugo's eyes fell on the person who asked the question just now. The sign hanging on his chest was "San Francisco Chronicle". Hugo suddenly realized. Although the "San Francisco Chronicle" was once a member of the blocking alliance, objectively speaking, they did not deliberately target Hugo, but more against the "Los Angeles Times" - these two can be said to be the most competitive on the West Coast. 's media. So it's no surprise that they always took the initiative to challenge Hugo when facing Hugo.

Obviously, no one could answer Hugo's rhetorical question, because in the past month, Endeavour Elite Agency and Hollywood Foreign Press Association have been tight-lipped, always maintaining a friendly appearance on the surface. Even if it is a loss, it is a hidden loss, and no one will say it. At this time, if the reporter wants to make up some "rumours", it is impossible, because both sides will try to deny it, but it will make the reporter fall into the embarrassing situation of "witch trial" again.

Just a rhetorical question left those American journalists speechless.

But Hugo was not complacent, he just paused for a moment, glanced over the reporter's face lightly, and then said again, "If allowed, I would like to appear at every awards ceremony - although Some ceremonies are not willing to send me invitations at all, such as last time I applied to participate in the finals of the Miss America pageant, and I was told that I was not qualified." Speaking of which, Hugo slumped his shoulders, revealing a little The disappointed look on his face caused many reporters on the scene to clapp their hands and laugh, but the American reporters couldn't laugh, and looked at each other in a dilemma.

“It was a last-minute decision to come to Berlin to meet you this time, and it was also the result of various coincidences. I thought that the German audience would welcome me very warmly, but now it seems that Tim and Susan are the The happiest." Hugo said solemnly, which made the reporters stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that Hugo was saying that the Berlin audience was not enthusiastic enough.

As a result, the German reporters immediately began to roar. The roar of the male animals was really loud, and the fans standing behind also roared, knocking on the baffle in front of them, making noise, and then The mouth kept screaming and screaming.

The scene that was originally calm, suddenly became a sea of ​​flames.

American journalists can only sigh, at least from Hugo, they don't want to dig up any news, Hugo actually quietly changed the topic back to the Berlin Film Festival - they dare not Challenge the authority of the Berlin Film Festival again, or you will not be able to get an interview certificate next year.

Of course, even if Hugo didn't speak, even if the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn't speak up, that wouldn't stop the news media from expressing their opinions, but they could only speak for themselves. Looking at Hugo who is coping with ease in front of them, the reporters are really confused. The feeling is difficult to describe accurately in words. It can only be... looking at Hugo affectionately, like a lover, longing for Hugo to look back. Sight.

However, this is estimated to be an unrequited love affair.
