Chapter 1467: 1467

Hugo was the focal point, not only on the red carpet, but also in the Dorothy Chandler Hall. The endless crowds gave Hugo no room to breathe, so he could only keep socializing with everyone.

The front foot Mark Canton just left, and then Susan Sarandon came over with a glass of champagne, "I heard recently that Columbia Pictures is thinking again, and today Mark Canton actually went out in person. "

Everyone knows that this is Hollywood. There is no need to hang on a tree. There are countless excellent actors. This is true of any film company, let alone the eight major film companies. However, Columbia Pictures has a bit of perseverance towards Hugo. It started during the World Cup a year and a half ago. Even if Hugo never saw their script, Mark was neither anxious nor angry. He visited in person, without the arrogance and attitude of the leader of Columbia Pictures.

Although Mark Canton seems to be half a beat slower than Kevin Burns, he has never really thought through Hugo's mind. Every time Columbia Pictures comes to the door, the script is uneven, and it took so long but There is still no real cooperation; but it is undeniable that Mark's patience and sincerity are far higher than Kevin's. This sincerity even makes Hugo feel embarrassed - even if Hugo knows that in the final analysis, interests are at stake. .

Facing Susan's ridicule, Hugo chuckled and said noncommittally, "Where's Tim? Could it be that you got stuck on some key occasion, did you sneak out?"

Susan didn't greet Hugo either. She shook her head and said directly, "No, I came here specifically to find you. I have a friend who I want to introduce to you."

"Friend?" Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. "Susan was actually mobilized. It seems to be a character." This joke seemed to be refuting Susan's joke to Mark Canton just now, which made Susan also chuckled lightly.

Under the leadership of Susan, Hugo soon saw Joe Schumacher in the crowd.

Speaking of Joe, there is no doubt that everyone knows him as a successful commercial director, "Batman Forever", "Killing Hour", "Sniper Phone Booth (Phone. Booth)", "8mm (8mm)" are all His works, he once gave Batman works a new vitality, but it is a pity that the subsequent "Batman and Robin" easily ruined everything.

However, in Qiao's directorial career, in addition to his outstanding commercial achievements, he also endowed many works with impressive ideological connotations, especially in his fifties, when he created "Urban Heroes" ", "Ultimate Witness", "Hour of Killing" and other outstanding works, the film often reflects the dark side and fear of human nature, which is thought-provoking and has won many praises.

Susan worked with Joe last year on "The Ultimate Witness," a film that once again earned Susan an Academy Award nomination. Therefore, it is not unusual for Susan to introduce Hugo and Joe to know each other today.

Joe didn't have any in-depth conversations with Hugo, just a simple and polite greeting, which seemed to be just an ordinary meeting in social situations. Susan's explanation was that "he heard your name and has always wanted to meet you. It's just that we don't have a chance to meet." So Hugo didn't think much about it.

Immediately afterwards, Hugo saw Ron Mayer standing not far away.

To be honest, Hugo and Lang have very little interaction, because after the Golden Raspberry Award, he is an artist under Joseph, and the number of encounters with Lang is very limited, but later Hugo completely integrated his memory and is no stranger to Lang. . But then Lang left International Innovation Management and moved to Universal Pictures, so there were fewer opportunities for the two to confront each other head-on. Most of the time, it was Rick and Lang who came into contact.

Hugo didn't expect Lang to appear at the Oscars today. He couldn't help but think about it carefully. He just saw Mark, Kevin, Shirley Lansing... The bosses of these top production companies were abnormally present at the scene. The scene of the Oscars ceremony made Hugo have to think more.

The Oscar ceremony is more of a feast for practitioners. Big bosses like Ron Meyer often watch the ceremony at home. Even if they arrive at the scene, they come to attend the Oscar night after the awards ceremony. will appear at the awards ceremony. After all, they are not professional film practitioners at all.

Today's anomaly, but Hugo is puzzled, and he has no idea what happened. But think about it carefully, the film industry has been in turmoil since last year, and a large-scale change has been brewing. Hugo knows this, because this change finally reached its peak under the catalysis of "Titanic", so, It is estimated that these bigwigs also noticed something, and then they all came out.

However, these thoughts just flashed through Hugo's mind. His understanding of these things was too one-sided and too superficial, so he didn't want to spend time thinking deeply. Looking at Lang not far away, the eyes of the two people just met. Hugo just nodded his chin politely, and then he was about to leave.

Hugo originally wanted to pretend he didn't see it and just left, but when he saw the scene of the chasing and the hot, Hugo knew that he could hide from the first day of the first year, but not the fifteenth day, so he didn't hesitate for too long. He stopped and stood there, waiting for Lang to come over.

"I thought you would leave." Lang said in a calm voice with a smile on his face.

Compared with the Lang in my impression, the Lang in front of me seems to be more introverted and calmer. The Lang I remembered in the past had a deep scheming, but his temper was inevitably impetuous. But obviously, over the years, Lang has become more and more like a man at the helm of a large production company.

"If I remember correctly, I should have no debt on me." Hugo also said with a chuckle, but it was not a joke, but a bit of fun. This so-called "debt" is really worth thinking about.

Lang listened, but didn't react too much, just smiled slightly, "Looking back at some things back then, I feel a little regretful that I missed 'Hugo Lancaster'." Lang added in front of his name. The article "The", used to emphasize Hugo's uniqueness, shows his importance.

Hugo was a little surprised that Lang took the initiative to mention this incident. He did not hide this incident, but said in slight surprise, "I thought you would assume that this incident did not happen." It can be said that Lang gave up Hugo directly. Although the reasons are very complicated, it is undeniable that Lang looked at Hugo with the feeling of being in trouble, otherwise he would not have encouraged Hugo to attend the Golden Raspberry Awards. .

For Hugo's slight sarcasm, Lang did not get angry as usual, but chuckled lightly, "No one can get along with money, right?" The implication is that if Hugo can work with Universal, it will be a win-win situation.

"I don't know, maybe I'll give it a try." Hugo's sarcastic tone made Lang stunned, remembering that before "Independence Day", Hugo's highest salary did not exceed 8 million, he couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, Hugo." Looking back, he saw the figure of Tom Hanks. Lang didn't continue to say any more, and politely greeted Tom and Hugo respectively, and then turned and left. "Are you all right?" Tom asked with concern.

Tom had more or less heard about Hugo and Lang. Hugo chuckled and shook his head, "It's okay."

Tom was present tonight as the best actress awarding guest. Although his excellent performance in "Apollo 13" did not win the nomination, Tom's mentality was very good. After all, he has achieved incredible results in the past two years. It can be seen that he is very relaxed, "I met Meryl just now, and she said that she hadn't seen you until now tonight. How about it, aren't you going to say hello?"

Meryl Streep, although Hugo and her never really had a good conversation, Meryl was always very friendly to Hugo, and even took the initiative to talk to Rain during the Golden Globe Awards celebration banquet. Guo offered a helping hand. So, Hugo was very happy to visit Meryl, but Hugo deliberately let out a long breath and sighed helplessly, "It was a busy night." This made Tom unable to help laugh. up.

Indeed, as the biggest annual party in Hollywood, the social activities before the official start of the awards ceremony are very frequent and intensive, not only Hugo, but also not only Nicolas Cage, Brad Pitt and others, The same goes for actors who didn't win nominations. Even second-tier and third-tier actors, as long as they can get the qualifications to play, this will become a stage for them to show their strengths.

Just look at the actions of Mark, Kevin, Lang and others. Their conversation with Hugo is definitely not just polite. Everyone's dialogue has deep meaning behind it, otherwise they don't need to introduce each other and know each other. , talked to each other. On this occasion, opportunities are everywhere. Just like Oscar night, the real significance of attending such an occasion lies not only in exposure, but also in the infinite possibilities of future development. This is also the fundamental reason why Oscar has always been in a detached position, even the Golden Globe Awards, which have been in operation for many years, cannot be compared.

Hugo chatted in the lobby for nearly forty minutes without a break, and waited until the staff directed everyone to enter the venue. Hugo had the opportunity to drink half a glass of juice. As for the dazzling buffet in front of him, it could only be Missed. However, this part of the conversation can only be regarded as a warm-up. The real good show begins at this time with the beginning of the award ceremony. How much influence can a golden man's award have? Only those who have experienced it can Taste for a touch of flavor.

Night has come, Dorothy Chandler Hall is shrouded in a bright starlight, the suspense of the 68th Oscar is about to be revealed!
