1465 Chapter 1465 The Beginning of the Confrontation
Nicolas Cage was stunned in place, because Hugo and Oprah, who were chatting and laughing not far away, were really eye-catching, and he couldn't help but cast his eyes over him. He didn't have a chance to look at Hugo and the surrounding people in detail. In other cases, it's just that the line of sight deviates in that direction uncontrollably.
But Nicholas' brain clearly knew that now was not the time to pay attention to others. He had to deal with the reporter in front of him. "Uh, uh..." Nicholas looked back at the reporter, but couldn't help looking at Hugo again. , and then turned to look at the reporter, "This, this should be a carnival night, isn't it? I hope everyone enjoys this night."
Nicholas's answer seemed a little out of place, which made some reporters around him stunned, but their eyes fluttered in the direction of Hugo, and everyone showed a knowing smile.
Nicholas finally noticed the mysterious expressions of the reporters. After all, he has been in this circle for more than ten years. Although he has never reached the peak, he naturally knows nothing about the reporters. He also realized his gaffe and couldn't help but bow his head gently. He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
However, out of the corner of his eyes he still saw Hugo. At this time, Nicholas noticed what Hugo was wearing. The navy blue suit was shrouded in orange lights on the red carpet. Locked firmly to Hugo.
It must be admitted that Hugo's suit is far superior to other male artists on the red carpet in terms of color selection, tailoring, or matching, including the overall temperament. Among the suits that all male entertainers are slightly general, Hugo, who fits comfortably but does not lose his composure, looks so different and amazing.
But after Nicholas finished his exclamation, his inner irritability subsided, because he felt that Hugo was just a child.
Although Hugo is only three years younger than him, only children will care so much about their clothes. Generally speaking, people know that the red carpet is a stage for female artists to show themselves, and male actors only need to become competent green leaves. ,that's enough. So, men, a black suit is enough to walk Oscar.
Moreover, Nicholas remembered about the obsession of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences with black suits, that group of old pedants' attention to formal occasions and their old-fashioned, almost like the run-down aristocrats in England in the 1920s, even begging on the side of the road. To maintain their own etiquette - and their etiquette is black suits, in formal and solemn occasions, black suits and white shirts is the greatest respect for the owner.
Regarding the curse of the white suit, Nicholas naturally knows it. Although Hugo didn't wear a white suit today, he didn't wear a black suit either, which made Nicholas's disturbed heart gradually settle down, as if he had found a belief that he could rely on - Hugo wore a black suit and black shirt last year, so Didn't win; Hugo won the year before in a formal black suit and white shirt.
Thinking of this, Nicholas couldn't help pulling his slightly wide black suit, and his originally crooked spine straightened up. He believed that today would be his night, a starry night.
When he left Joseph Gibbs, Nicholas always felt that this was the right choice-although Hugo's career was booming, it was all due to Rick Rosen and had nothing to do with Joseph. And Nicholas chose Marvin as his agent, and his career quickly ushered in a turning point. Although he missed the opportunity to "break the life-threatening island", he ushered in the opportunity to soar to the sky-if he is tonight If he can successfully win the best actor, then his career will usher in the real peak!
Tonight belongs to him! He will definitely win the final victory!
Nicholas looked at the grandstanding Hugo in the distance, the tension that had been tumbling in his heart for a long time finally calmed down, and the whole person seemed to be in high spirits.
"Mr. Cage, do you have any special thoughts about tonight's awards? Who did you vote for in the Best Actor Award?"
The reporter's question made Nicholas take his attention back from Hugo, and said calmly, "Let's wait and see the list of winners. I think the most powerful people always get the most recognition, no Is it?" That powerful confidence leaked out of his easy-to-follow words, which made the reporters look at each other with admiration - and at the same time they were all excited, Nicholas is directly fighting Hugo, it's really exciting !
"As for my vote, I think it's a secret. I chose the person who deserves the award most in my mind." Nicholas's remarks can be said to be the official formula answer. If it is said in a humble tone, it will be It seems very flattering; if it is said in a flat tone, it will appear more polite. And Nicholas said it in a brisk and confident tone, which seems to be well-intentioned, and the answer is self-evident.
After answering, Nicholas didn't stop any more, and took his steps calmly.
Soon, Nicholas walked up to Hugo and Oprah, and Oprah shouted happily, "Hey, Nick, Nicholas! Welcome to the Academy Awards!" Oprah walked over and said Nicholas pulled up to the camera lens.
Hugo didn't care either. He took a step to the left and gave up the space. Because Oprah was halfway through the interview just now, it would be very rude for Hugo to leave like this, so he politely stepped aside, but he didn't. He didn't leave directly, and gave Nicholas a polite and distant smile.
Nicholas also nodded his chin slightly, even if it was a greeting. Oprah had already pulled the two men into the camera, and she was standing in the middle. At this time, this rare scene appeared on the live broadcast of ABC TV, which made many people a sensation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am now honoured to have Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Cage, both of whom have put on a great show over the past year, have been recognised by everyone, and will be here tonight as well. The competition for the Best Actor Award." Oprah said with a bright face, and she seemed very happy.
"So, Nicholas, what do you think your chances of winning tonight?" Oprah asked Nicholas politely first, after all, he had interviewed Hugo for a long time.
Facing Oprah's direct question, Nicholas glanced at Hugo subconsciously, then pulled the hem of his black suit, "I have tried my best, I hope I can have a 20% chance. Right." This was a very polite answer, but when Nicholas spoke, he kept scanning Hugo with out of the corner of his eyes, which seemed to be contempt and provocation, making his words sound like Slightly harsh.
Oprah raised her eyebrows slightly, took a small step back, and seemed to have noticed Nicholas' small movements, then looked at Hugo, "So, Hugo, what do you think your chances of winning tonight are? "
"I don't know very well, you know, I don't know every one of the more than 5,000 academy judges." Hugo's unreasonable answer contained a little humor, matched with his warm smile, Make people chuckle again. Hugo also noticed the corner of Nicholas's sight, which made people feel very uncomfortable, but Hugo was not surprised at all, anyway, the relationship between him and Nicholas was not very good, "Of course, I can be sure that I Got a vote for Charlize Theron because I tried to bribe her with a month of free pizza, and I'm sure I've made a big breakthrough."
It was like a child's play joke was told under Hugo's serious expression, which made everyone burst into laughter, but Hugo was still serious, and the comedy effect was even more explosive. But in fact, Charlize is not a member of the Academy at all, and this year is only her first nomination, so she is not eligible to vote.
However, Nicholas still didn't smile - to be precise, he was facing the camera with a polite smile, but he was not smiling, but he glanced at Hugo meaningfully, and then the corners of his mouth were really drawn.
Oprah patted Hugo on the shoulder, completely overjoyed. "When Charlize arrives at the scene, we can ask her for confirmation."
Just as Hugo, Nicholas and Oprah were chatting, there was another commotion on the red carpet. At the beginning of the red carpet, a pair of beautiful people were standing. Although the woman was slightly taller than the man, the It still does not affect the picture effect of two people standing together.
When the crowd realized who was on the red carpet, the screams, which had been quiet for a while, began to stir again, because it was Brad Pitt, who had reached the top at the end of the year, and his daughter. Companion, Gwyneth Paltrow. The influence of this pair of golden boys and girls even surpassed that of Hugo and Cameron, and they have become the most concerned couples in Hollywood-the two are very keen to show their love in front of the camera, and the exposure rate has exploded Hugo and Cameron. Long.
Even with Hugo in front, the audience at the scene could not refuse Brad's charm. This is Hollywood, and this is popularity. People say that Brad has the strength to make a deal with Hugo and Tom. It's definitely not just talking. In a blink of an eye, the entire red carpet can't help but boil again, and the screams that pervade it are like a thin layer. A thin mist of water roared in the sight.
On the short red carpet, Hugo smiled and stood there, as if he was not affected in any way, still talking to Oprah; Nicholas looked thoughtfully at the end of the red carpet, but his back couldn't help but even more Upright; and Brad, who broke the deadlock, felt a pain in his palm at this time. He knew that Gwyneth was pinching him, reminding him to cheer up, and he would never be on the red carpet today. Can't be weaker than Hugo in terms of momentum.
Brad stretched his shoulders back a little, made himself upright, put his arms around Gwyneth, showing his signature bright and sexy smile, and waved his free left hand towards the surging crowd in front of him.
