1461 Chapter 1461
Hugo stood in front of the window sill in the bedroom, bathed in the blue moonlight outside the window, holding the phone, Cameron Diaz's energetic voice came over, "I believe you will definitely win the prize, 100%. Bai, I have absolute confidence in you!"
"Cameron, you should know that there are more than 5,000 judges in the academy, right?" Hugo let out a long sigh with a helpless smile on his mouth. "I think I should relax my mind at this time."
"Dear, you should have confidence in yourself. How much effort did you put in during the filming of 'Death Ramble', have you forgotten what you experienced at that time?" Cameron said excitedly, but realized that I couldn't open the pot and I quickly stuck out my tongue, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention this. I mean, no one can deny your absolute strength, you have to believe in yourself, you can absolutely Stand on the stage and enjoy your glory!"
Hugo knew that Cameron had absolute confidence in herself, and she was helping her build confidence and dispatch pressure, but Hugo could not feel any effect. Cameron's anticipation and enthusiasm only put more and more pressure on Hugo's shoulders - what if he didn't end up winning? So will Cameron be more disappointed than he is?
Hugo opened his mouth and tried to explain his mood, but he heard Cameron continue, "I will definitely watch the live broadcast tomorrow, even if I am not there, I will be with you! So, now all you need to do is Relax, rest early, and kill the audience tomorrow with the most perfect posture, and tell those reporters who the man you are."
Cameron's excited voice made Hugo laugh dumbly. He couldn't help swallowing the words that came to his mouth, and then chuckled twice, "I will tell the reporter that I am Adam's man." Hugo's joke made Hugo laugh Mellon suddenly burst into laughter, and that hearty smile made the moonlight jump up all over the floor.
"Good night, you should rest early, don't you have a shooting task tomorrow?" Hugo whispered, and after saying good night again, he hung up the phone.
The busy tone of "dududu" came from the phone, and Hugo's right hand holding the phone suddenly fell. The violent gravity almost made him drop the phone, but fortunately, he tightened his palm in time at the last moment, and then grabbed it. He stopped the phone, but he felt the huge pressure on his shoulders, as if his entire back could not be straightened.
Slowly sitting cross-legged on the ground, his head stared at the glass sliding door in front of him, and looked at the courtyard in front of him. At this time, the courtyard was quiet, the emerald green swimming pool reflected the cold moonlight, and a thin layer of water vapor was in the moonlight. It flows slowly, from the swimming pool to the tennis court next to it, surrounded by black stone wine cabinets and wooden tables, like a fairyland.
Hugo originally thought that he could adjust his mentality well, not only because he had experienced too much, even such incredible things from 2014 to 1992; but also because in the past few years, he also experienced After countless storms, he has won the Golden Man at the Oscars, and also won the best actor titles in Cannes and Berlin.
Therefore, Hugo feels that his mentality will be very peaceful, and he looks at this Oscar calmly and calmly. It seems that everything should be no different from last year, and when he refused to "stay away from the casino" and chose "death row walk" , should have expected it today, shouldn't it? Because according to the historical trajectory, the final winner is Nicolas Cage, who is "away from the casino".
But...but...that's not the case. After the "Independence Day" was completed, the invisible pressure became more and more intense. There were discussions on the radio, TV, and newspapers everywhere. It seemed that everyone was discussing whether he could Can't win prizes.
When parking in the parking lot, the guard will mention Oscar; when dining in the restaurant, the waiter will mention Oscar; when jogging in the early morning, the old man passing by will mention Oscar; when basking on the beach, the coast guard will mention Oscar... Even buying a piece of chewing gum in a convenience store, you can hear black people teasing there, "Of course, when you give your acceptance speech, the last thing you want to face is bad breath."
If there is no desire and no desire, then you can maintain a peaceful mind; but as analyzed by the media, Hugo knows that he has completed a breakthrough in acting last year, and all three works have been praised, all of which seem to indicate that, Hugo does have a good chance of winning the Oscar for Best Actor.
Hugo will never deny it, he hopes to win. Even if Hugo knew that the Oscar statuette was just one of many affirmations, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and these people all had no relationship with Oscar in their lives, Peter Otto (Peter. Otto) 'Toole) has won eight Best Actor nominations in his life but all came back empty-handed. Paul Newman also waited almost his whole life to win the Golden Man... But even so, Hugo still hopes to win the award, he will not deny his heart desire, because this statuette represents the recognition of the entire Hollywood industry.
It was this desire, in the ubiquitous voice of discussion, that began to be amplified, amplified, and even turned into a kind of arrogance, a kind of greed, a kind of madness, which made Hugo's mentality completely lost. balance. Perhaps it was precisely because he was too close to this little golden man that he lost control, and that madness and surging desire completely turned Hugo's peacefulness upside down.
"I can win, I can definitely win... No, according to the historical trajectory, it is Cage who won the award... I really want to win, what would it feel like... I should be able to win Prize... But if I don't win, does that mean that I will never have a chance in the future, will this dream come to my senses... I should not win... God, if I If you don't get the prize, isn't that just a big joke..."
Hugo only felt that he was on the verge of collapse, precarious, the huge pressure almost overwhelmed him, he wanted to relax himself, but there was no way. He tried to ask Cameron for help, but couldn't find a solution; he tried to get Rick and Joseph to help him, but they still couldn't understand their feelings...
The whole world seems to be the only one left, and the pressure swarming from all directions is like a waterfall pouring down, and he sits alone in the abyss, unable to struggle, escape, and breathe, and can only watch the flood rip him down. Submerged, and then his limbs seemed to be tied to heavy stones. Instead of floating with the flood, he sank to the bottom of the water, watching the blue water gradually rise, eventually forming a vast ocean. , he lay quietly in the deepest part, watching the whole world turn from light blue to blue, then dark blue, and finally into darkness...
"Ding bell bell..." The sudden ringing of the phone made Hugo's heart skip a beat, and the phone in his hand fell directly to the ground. Only then did Hugo realize that he was already sweating profusely and his entire back was wet. Thoroughly, sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window shivering, looking around in a panic, he found that the boundless darkness almost forced him to have no way to escape.
The phone was still ringing stubbornly, "Ding bell... ding bell..." Hugo tried to grab the receiver, but found that his right hand was shaking so badly, he tried twice before picking up the phone , he held the receiver to his ear stiffly, without speaking.
But there was no one talking on the other end of the phone, just the sound of breathing quietly. The rapid breathing made Hugo close his eyes and his temples were aching. "So, are you nervous too?"
This familiar voice and these familiar words made Hugo twitch slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Why, are you nervous too?" It was Charlize Theron on the other end of the phone.
Hugo has forgotten that Charlize relied on "Before Sunrise" to get the best actress Oscar nomination, which does not match the historical trajectory. Her first Oscar nomination was nine years earlier than the original history.
Charlize chuckled laughingly at himself, "Isn't it normal for me to be nervous? After all, this is my first time being nominated, but why are you nervous? You should be calm."
"Maybe I'm greedy." Hugo whispered, letting out a long breath. It would be great if people could freely control their hearts.
Charlize sneered again, full of irony, "Actually, this is what I've been pursuing, isn't it? I don't want others to treat me as a vase, and I hope people recognize my strength, but after winning the nomination, I started to fear. Fear that I wasn't as powerful as people expected."
"Are you worried that you won the prize?" Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth sarcastically.
"If I win the award, it will be even more terrifying." Charlize whispered, "Actually, I don't know whether I want to win the award or not. Logically speaking... shouldn't everyone expect to win the award? But I'm starting to get scared."
Hugo knew what Charlize meant, Charlize was not confident enough in her own strength, and she was worried that this nomination was far beyond her ability, and then became the peak of her career - which will never be surpassed.
"Afraid?" Hugo finally showed a smile, and the corner of Zhong Yu Qianjun's mouth lightly outlined, "Don't be too narcissistic, no one will vote for you because you are beautiful. If you really win the award Now, you should be happy, and then work harder to prove that this award is worth it with your own strength, just like Audrey Hepburn."
Charlize didn't smile, but let out a light breath, "You say, are we a bunch of lunatics, we're just a piece of iron, and we're restless, panic-stricken, and sleepless all night because of it, it looks like It's like a fool who lacks true love and care."
an iron nugget. Hugo was amused by Charlize's adjective, and laughed out loud, "Yeah, maybe in the eyes of many ordinary people, we are a bunch of lunatics, and we are so frightened because of a big iron block, as if lost. self-indulgent."
"So, tomorrow's awards ceremony is nothing, right?" Charlize whispered.
Hugo was silent for a while, then repeated in a low voice, "Yes, there is nothing wrong with the awards ceremony tomorrow."
It was still quiet outside the window. When you looked up, the bright spots of light in the sky were like God knocking over a bucket full of stars. The faint starlight embellished the entire black night beautifully, allowing you to breathe. All stopped in an instant.
