Chapter 1734 1734 Stars over the Moon

Hugo took the elevator to the third floor, and before he got out of the elevator, he heard a loud noise outside, which made Hugo raise his eyebrows in surprise. The third floor is the hotel's breakfast dining area, but he was a little late today. Some people thought they had avoided the breakfast rush, but it turned out that it was still so lively outside.

Joseph walked out first, followed by Hugo, and then saw Joseph stop and gave Hugo a helpless look. Due to Joseph's size—the weight loss plan never worked, Hugo leaned to the side, saw the noise in front of him, gave Joseph a roll of eyes, and quickly sorted out his expression with a polite smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mark Canton walked towards him with a smile on his face, "Look, who is this." Obviously he was expecting Hugo, but he made a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to have breakfast at this time, too. It looks like today is off to a great start."

"If this sentence was said by Shirley behind you, I would be in a happier mood." Hugo's teasing made Mark laugh out loud, and then he followed Hugo's line of sight and turned to look at Shirley. - Lansing's smiling face came towards him, and Mark couldn't help but scolded secretly, "Shark", but his expression did not change, he took the initiative to meet him, "Hey, Shirley, why didn't you see Ralph?"

Just one sentence hinted at a fact: Shirley and Ralph Fiennes had a very good conversation just now, and they had a very close relationship.

In response to Mark's suggestion, Xue Li's eyes flashed slightly, but she did not panic, and said generously, "Ralph is right behind, he knew Hugo was coming, and he said he would definitely come over to say hello." Li walked to the side and greeted Hugo," Ralph said, he also received an interview invitation for the role of 'Schindler's List', but it's a pity that you are one step ahead, but he wants to have a good relationship with you talk."

This is obviously about Ralph Fiennes, who starred in "The English Patient" after it was released at the end of last year.

Mark opened his mouth and wanted to interject, but he quickly restrained himself, just standing beside him quietly with a smile. Because Mark also realized that he was always in a hurry - although most of the time, this is not a big problem, but in front of old foxes like Shirley, it is often easy to lose the opportunity, so he needs to control a little.

Shelly naturally walked up to Hugo, while Joseph walked alongside Mark and followed closely behind.

Walking into the breakfast dining area, it is not much different from an ordinary restaurant. You can see that square tables for four people are scattered around, but at this time, more than two-thirds of the tables have guests seated, which makes the entire breakfast meal. The district seemed very lively, and even if no one was making a loud noise, just talking in a low voice, the sounds gathered together, making the whole corridor reverberate continuously.

Seeing Hugo walk in, many people turned their heads one after another, waving or nodding to Hugo with smiles. This hotel was originally one of the three official hotels of the Berlin Film Festival, so almost all the people living here at this time were industry insiders, not only the crews from all over the world participating in the film, but also the reporters who flocked to interview from all corners of the world.

However, these faces seemed so unfamiliar in Hugo's sight - the face blindness patient was terminally ill.

Hugo sat down at an vacant table for four, and Mark and Shirley naturally sat next to them. With Joseph, the seat was filled immediately. The others, who were a bit slower, saw that, You can only hold back for a while. Mark and Shirley were both in a hurry, chatting with Hugo about the works that were shown at the Berlin Film Festival in the past few days, which aroused a lot of interest in Hugo.

During the period, Ralph came over to say hello, and then Luc Besson arrived as expected - it is certain that Mark's confident work is indeed the "fifth element". But today Mark didn't make it clear, and Hugo pretended not to know, and still talked happily.

After breakfast was over, Ron Mayer and Robert Shayer appeared at coffee time. Mark and Shirley both made an excuse and gave up their seats. What surprised Hugo most was that Michael Roselle came over to greet him.

Since Michael didn't say anything, he just greeted him and expressed his expectations for the next performance of "Rainstorm". The direct result was that until Michael left, Hugo didn't know who he was— -Because he had never met the head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Magna Brericon, and Michael Roselle before.

"Who was that person just now?" When Lang and Robert both left one after another, and sent off the editor-in-chief of Bild and Film Manual, Hugo finally had the opportunity to quietly ask Joseph.

Joseph naturally knew about Hugo's problems. Those who met for the first time had introduced themselves, so he immediately knew who Hugo was talking about, and explained in a low voice. As a result, Hugo not only did not solve his doubts, but looked at Joseph even more perplexed, because he really didn't understand what the head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had to do with him, just like the president of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences suddenly. Appearing in front of Hugo is the same, it makes no sense!

But before Hugo could speak, Joseph gave Hugo a look. Hugo immediately turned his head, cheered up, and saw Barry Mayer in front of him.

"Hey, Barry, do you need a cup of coffee?" Joseph offered to greet him, then turned to Hugo and murmured, "Warner."

Barry noticed Joseph's movements, but he didn't care. Hollywood's top bigwigs all know that Hugo can't remember faces, let alone names. Almost every meeting requires Joseph or Samora to remind him. There was even a time when Hugo was alone when he met Kevin Burns. , the two chatted for 20 minutes, and when Kevin left, Hugo found Joseph and asked "who is that", which was heard by Steven Spielberg who was standing on the side, and it became Inside jokes.

Interestingly, Michael Roselle didn't know about it.

Barry took the initiative to extend his right hand to Hugo, "I see that there are too many guests coming to visit today. I thought it would be rude if I didn't show up." Barry was also very direct, but compared to Mark , he was a little more slick, and he said the same or similar words with a hint of banter and ridicule, and the whole atmosphere seemed relaxed.

Hugo couldn't help laughing at Barry's straightforwardness, "You know, hotel lobbies are always so busy."

As Barry said, except for Kevin who just said hello from a distance and didn't come over, almost all other important people showed up in front of Hugo. Although they didn't talk about anything serious, they could still feel Hugo now influence on the film industry. However, Hugo interpreted it in such an ingenious way, which made Barry laugh.

"If the hotel lobby manager is so attractive, then I would like to live in this hotel every time." Barry finished a joke, covered his mouth, and whispered, "Only if you don't tell me. The wife knows." Hugo and Joseph both burst out laughing.

Hugo immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, indicating that he had nothing to say.

Barry didn't have any special expression either. He sat up straight again, and said with a smile, "As far as I know, you are very interested in American culture in the 1960s and 1970s." Hugo was puzzled. The expression obviously did not understand what Barry meant by this sentence, but Barry was not in a hurry, and then said, "That was the most prosperous era of rock and roll."

People all over the world know the importance of Glory to Death to Hugo, and now Glory to Death is creating history step by step, and it is even more so that people can see Hugo's talent, and the album "Rainstorm" is awakening This generation's memories of that golden age. So, what Barry is saying is a well-known fact, but the way he interprets it is very interesting, starting with the culture of the 1960s and 1970s.

Sure enough, Hugo showed a surprised expression, "Indeed. In fact, it was an era of cultural explosion, and countless ideas and concepts were impacted. I grew up in such an atmosphere. I’m very interested.” To be more precise, a lot of cultural traces of the 1960s and 1970s can also be found in “Pulp Fiction”, not just rock, not just retro, Hugo is more interested in those times There are many interests in social, economic, cultural, and ideological formation.

"Then you must also know something about the 1950s." Barry's words made Hugo stunned. Hugo shook his head. He really didn't know much about that era. Barry laughed, "Hugo, you read classical literature. You should know better than me that the inheritance of culture is closely related to society. It is not the right way to separate each era."

Barry is right, if you really like the culture of a certain era, even if you don't need to know the era of the past and the future, at least you need to know something about it. However, Hugo felt that it was quite inconsistent, because no top boss would talk to him about cultural inheritance, and when this object was Barry, it was even more strange.

Barry Mayer, the head of Warner Bros., the most greedy, cunning, and decisive decision-maker among the top leaders of the eight major Hollywood studios, he actually talked to himself about cultural heritage? This……

"If you look closely, Los Angeles in the 1950s was like San Francisco in the middle of the last century. It was a golden place that everyone admired, sunshine, beauty, easy wealth and Hollywood movies. The industry is intertwined with the temptation. The scene of people." Barry's next words were still normal, but the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed some clues.

The fifties? Los Angeles? A thought flashed in Hugo's mind, and he quickly wanted to capture it, which made Hugo's eyes flash with a hint of curiosity.
