Chapter 1462 1462 The Heat Wave Strikes

The early morning sunlight fell into the room without any obstruction. Hugo stumbled upon the sound of Samora calling him to get up. He called him back and forth more than three times, but he only felt that his mind was like a mush. Instead, the uneasy, up-and-down heartbeat woke up first, and the chaotic brain gradually realized that a new day has come.

I don't even remember what time I fell asleep last night. Later, I chatted with Charlize for a long time, and the two discussed a lot of things. Charlize recently performed "Romeo and Juliet" and learned a lot from Leonardo DiCaprio. Guo asked for a lot of tips on acting. The tension between the two of them was relieved a lot, and Hugo finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

However, feeling the chaotic heartbeat, Hugo knew that he was still nervous and irritable. Although the huge pressure had been relieved recently, he still could not be completely relieved. But this is life, no matter how painful, struggling, and hard it is, the sun still rises.

He got up quickly, took a brief bath first, and then Hugo walked to the first floor, but found that the whole room was so quiet that he couldn't even hear the sound of the sea breeze. Hugo looked down and found that Rick, Joseph, Samora, Carl, Alex and others were all sitting scattered in every corner of the hall on the first floor, but no one spoke, and all of them looked like they couldn't let go.

Hugo knew that not only him, but every friend around him was also under enormous pressure, because their inner expectations were even stronger than Hugo's. For them, the Oscar is the most important and supreme award in the whole of Hollywood at present. Hugo has obtained enough recognition at the box office. If he can get the recognition of the best actor in the Oscar, this will undoubtedly become Hugo's career. peak.

As the media said, this year is Hugo's best chance, and their inner expectations have risen to the top. But as the saying goes, the higher the expectation, the heavier the disappointment; the more eager the heart is, the stronger the fear of missing out... This pressure makes everyone without exception begin to wander.

Even the most sophisticated and composed Rick was a little distracted at this time. Although it is said that Tom Hanks has won the title of Oscar winner in the past two years-he is also Rick's entertainer, but Rick clearly knows that the commercial value represented by Hugo is more long-term. What's more, Hugo's biggest competitor is Nicolas Cage - the leader who abandoned Joseph and chose International Innovation Management Company, Rick not only hopes that Hugo can defeat Nicholas, but also hopes that Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company can defeat International Innovation Management. company.

"Hugo, breakfast?" Or Samora broke the silence, not because he was not nervous, but because he had an almost adoring confidence in Hugo, and he believed in Hugo unswervingly, so, relatively speaking, his Tension is minimal.

This sound disturbed the silence in the room. As soon as everyone turned their heads, they saw Hugo, and everyone panicked, talking nonsense, "Oh, Hugo, get up", "Hey, good morning" , "Breakfast, breakfast is very good"... I hope to use these trivial words to cover up my unease, but those impetuous words filled the room with an indescribable tension.

Hugo let out a long sigh, "Yes, breakfast, I think I need some breakfast." Hugo walked towards the kitchen, picked up an apple from the fruit basket, and started to nibble. Hugo knew it was going to be a very long day.

Waiting is a very interesting thing. When the attitude is positive, the waiting time will become extremely fast, sweet, and joyful. The excitement of being unable to wait to embrace the future can make waiting beautiful; When the time comes, the waiting time will become like a year, every minute and every second seems to be roasting on a charcoal fire, and tossing and turning cannot eliminate the anxiety and boredom in the heart.

Today it is clearly the latter. The waiting process made the pressure start to increase. It seemed that even a look of encouragement would become a heavy burden, causing the emotions to gradually start to lose control.

"Hugo?"

When the voice came from behind, Hugo frowned slightly and said impatiently, "What?" Turning around, he saw Joseph hand over the phone, "Old Jack Taylor."

Hugo couldn't help but be stunned. How could Old Jack call at this time? Could it be that Adam has something to do? He quickly answered the phone, "Old Jack, it's me."

"Hey! Hugo." Old Jack's cheerful and clear voice came over. "How are you feeling now? You must be very nervous?" Also nervous, that scene is absolutely unimaginable. However, your father is definitely more nervous than you..."

"He's been absent-minded since yesterday, and Grayson said yesterday that he was going to buy two beers, and he gave Grayson a case of toothbrushes, and I was literally dying of laughter... This morning he drove to the gas station and then I asked Jack to wash the car for him and left the car there, but Jack drove the car to wash it for him, and then drove back..."

Listening to Old Jack ranting about Adam's embarrassing things, Hugo's chaotic heart slowly settled down, and he felt a sense of peace of mind inexplicably.

"I'll be watching the live broadcast with Adam today. Molly and Michelle will also be with you. We'll be with you all the time." Old Jack said jokingly, the gong voice was not warm at all, it was like a western The cowboy's malicious mockery made Hugo laugh, "I'm calling you just to tell you, you know, in the minds of that old Adam—and of course the minds of our Taylors, you will always be It's the best, it doesn't need anyone's approval, you just have to remember that."

"So, do you think I'll never get the prize, so are you comforting me in advance?" Hugo lowered his head and chuckled, making a little joke.

But old Jack laughed, "If you want to think like that, I can't help it. I just tell you, if you have time, remember to give Adam a call, I see him sitting at home and starting to smoke. ."

After hanging up the phone, Hugo couldn't help rubbing his forehead. Only then did he realize that he had almost forgotten Adam and didn't contact Adam because of the pressure in the past two days. In fact, in many cases, the bystanders are more nervous than the parties involved. It is like in a sports event, when the players on the field are in a state of ecstasy, on the contrary, the spectators or coaches off the field are more nervous.

Hugo looked ahead, "How far is it to Dorothy Chandler Hall?" They were already on their way to the red carpet, Hugo was sitting in the VIP car, he looked forward, although The road has been traffic controlled, but traffic jams started early.

"There are still two streets, that is, at least a quarter of an hour." Joseph said skillfully.

Hugo lowered his head and dialed the phone again and called Adam, but there was no communication between the two. After all, Hugo's state was not good enough to comfort Adam. He said a few words stiffly and then hung up the phone. broken. But after the phone call, Hugo's irritability gradually subsided. Although he was still nervous and his shoulders were still tense, at least Hugo could control it.

As the car slowly moved forward, the surging crowd in sight revealed the whole picture little by little. One street away, the crowded sea of ​​people had already occupied both sides of the road, and the cheers that gradually rose made the atmosphere of the scene gradually rise.

In the distance, Hugo can already see the red carpet in his sight. The flashing lights will turn the blue sky into a crimson red. The gorgeous light spots and the stars add radiance to each other, and the surging waves of people are in sight. In the continuous ups and downs, the faces that were distorted because of being too excited gradually became clear, and the lineup of reporters made the red carpet look like the road of Moses that could be swallowed up at any time.

The sixty-eighth Oscars are just around the corner. The beating of the heart in the chest begins to be strong again. The surging adrenaline makes all the muscles in the body tense, and the palms can even feel the wet sweat. Hugo knew that this unprecedented tension came from the imbalance of his mentality, even more nervous than when he first came to Oscar, but he couldn't control it, Hugo could only take a deep breath, then take a deep breath again, trying his best. Do your best to calm yourself down.

Finally, the car slowly approached the entrance of the red carpet. Joseph, Samora and Rick, who were sitting opposite, immediately focused on Hugo. Rick, the most experienced, patted the back of Hugo's hand, "Remember to smile, That's why they came here." Rick gestured to the surging sea of ​​people outside the window with his eyes.

Hearing this joke, Hugo couldn't help but smile.

Then, it stopped completely. The door of the car was opened by the receptionists standing on both sides of the red carpet. The dazzling light was vented in an instant. Hugo took a deep breath again, raised his feet and walked out of the VIP car. , feeling the softness on the red carpet with both feet, trying to lower his center of gravity, letting himself slowly land from the floating mid-air.

As soon as there was a "huo", the crazy heat wave rushed towards the face. The screams, shouts and cheers that broke through the sky were mixed with the tide-like flashing lights. , set off a huge wave of air, which almost made Hugo unsteady.

Hugo straightened his waist, and stepped on the red carpet with his feet lightly. In a trance, he could feel the solidity from the ground, which made him calm down. He has passed through countless storms, let alone Oscar night? Then, Hugo drew a calm smile on the corner of his mouth, and took his steps: Oscar, kick off!
