Chapter 1959: 1959 The Battle Curtain Opens

"Don't you feel sorry for being absent from the Grammys not long ago?" Nicholas McClenn looked at Hugo, who was obediently standing in front of the full-length mirror and accepted the designer's tricks. He couldn't help feeling a little funny, but he still held back Smile and do your job.

Today is the day when the Oscars ceremony kicked off. Hugo rushed back to Los Angeles the day before yesterday. Naturally, the dress for the ceremony has already been prepared. It is not Burberry that won Hugo’s favor this year, but chose A cutting-edge designer, at the end of last year, he just became Hedi Slimane of Saint Laurent's left bank (YSL. Rive. Gauche) at the end of last year.

Compared to Hollywood, where big names gather, Eddie can only be regarded as a rising star who has just made his mark. However, he succeeded in becoming Hugo's stylist amid fierce competition, which is also considered to be a golden opportunity for Eddie. Eddie flew from France to Los Angeles a month ago, and made adjustments to Hugo's costume design more than 20 times, which shows his intentions.

Eddie still insisted on letting Hugo try it on today, and found that Hugo's figure was a little thinner again, which forced him to make some more detailed adjustments.

Hugo is standing in front of the full-length mirror now, opening his hands obediently, like a mummy, he exhaled lightly and adjusted it, but Eddie raised his head when he didn't want to, "Hugo, please don't move around, please?" Hugo pursed his lips, "Looks like I'm going to be like those actresses today, and I can't move an inch on the red carpet." Many actresses are like this when they walk on the red carpet, they have to hold their breath to avoid their overly big The action destroyed the original shape of the clothes, and I had to be careful when walking.

This time Nicholas finally couldn't hold it back, and burst into laughter, Eddie glanced at Hugo helplessly, which made Hugo raise his hands again, expressing himself with a shallow smile Innocent, "Nick, what did you ask just now?"

"The Grammys," Nicholas repeated, "you made history again this year, with 'Long. Long. Way. To. Go' winning Record of the Year, and you made history. Don't you feel sorry that you are the first person to hold the award for four years in a row?"

In the just-concluded 40th Grammy, Glory to Death only won one gramophone trophy, which is the final award for best production of the year. What has been harvested, but also created an unprecedented first time in history: Hugo has won the best production award of the year for four consecutive years, which is evident in the Grammy's favor.

While only one gramophone was in the bag, it's a worthy accolade considering that "The Storm" swept eight trophies last year, and that the past year has seen almost no musical activity - all behind the scenes. It's heavyweight.

All the members of Glory to Death were absent that night, and the last one to accept the award was the royal sound engineer and producer of Glory to Death, Sheeran Raikkonen.

"Hehe." Hugo was amused by Nicholas' excited tone, but quickly restrained himself, and smiled apologetically at Eddie, and then said, "There is nothing to regret," Hugo said The open-mindedness and relief can be heard in the light tone. After experiencing so many ups and downs, Hugo's mood has completely stabilized, "My life is also very fulfilling recently. There are many important things in life. , Work is a part, dreams are a part, and our relatives and friends are also a part of it.”

"So, you've been on vacation with your family recently?" Nicholas asked this question smoothly.

Hugo lowered his head and smiled, "You can say that, but I won't respond positively."

Nicholas glanced at Hugo speechlessly. Didn't it make it clear that he was not allowed to be published in the newspaper, "Then what do you expect for tonight? The two works you produced have become the biggest hits. Does anyone have any further ideas?" Being able to get valuable exclusive interview time before the award ceremony, Nicholas will not let Hugo go easily, because he knows that after Hugo walks on the red carpet, the scene will inevitably be full of excitement. confusion.

"No, no, I think 'Titanic' is the biggest favorite." Hugo is definitely not being polite, but telling the truth, "I made a bet with Leo, I think he will definitely win, but he Consider it an 'LA Confidential', so we will look forward to the results together."

"I think James L-Brooks is going to be sad." Nicholas' words made Hugo grit his teeth, because it was really hard to hold back a smile. Even Eddie, who was busy, couldn't help laughing, which made Hugo roll his eyes depressedly.

"It seems that I chose the wrong time. This is not the right time." A voice came from the side, interrupting Nicholas' triumphant laughter.

Hugo had no way to look back, so he could only look through the reflection of the full-length mirror. What he saw was the image of a man in an iron-gray suit, but he couldn't see the face, so he couldn't guess who it was. The man just stood ten steps away, politely and reservedly, as if he was waiting for his master's permission before approaching. This etiquette made his intention to talk look like nothing at all. offend.

"Mr. Robert Iger." Nicholas' voice answered Hugo, "Why did you appear here, don't tell me, you came here to choose an evening dress." This is Saint Laurent's flagship in Los Angeles shop, so anyone can come. It's just that the second floor, where Hugo sat, was temporarily denied visitors and gave Eddie enough space to devote himself fully. Robert was able to go up to the second floor, which was obviously an exception.

As soon as Nicholas came up, he played his true qualities as a reporter and asked Robert's intentions. Robert was not too repulsive, but just showed a smile, "I came here specially to pick up the evening dress, and I am also honored to receive the Oscar night I don’t want to be rude in this star-studded occasion.” Robert’s smiling attitude made people feel good, “I heard that Hugo is upstairs, I don’t think I can just come and say hello. , this is very impolite behavior, I don't want to leave a bad impression on Hugo."

Robert's frankness but without loss of proportion immediately awakened Hugo's memory. Hugo was still remembering: Who is Robert Iger? Now it rang out immediately. This is the current CEO of ABC TV station. He was suspected of being a representative of Disney at the opening party of "The Truman Show" last time. Had a relationship with Hugo.

Robert left a deep impression on Hugo at that time, and it is the same today. Even if Hugo didn't see Robert's current expression, the spring-like conversation awakened Hugo's memory.

"Why do my ears feel itchy? Is someone talking about me behind my back?" Nicholas and Robert both looked at Hugo's words, and then they realized that they were talking to themselves, but they were talking about Hugo. The party was forgotten. At this time, Hugo was still standing there like a mummy, unable to move.

Hearing Hugo's words, Robert stepped forward at this moment, as if he had obtained Hugo's permission, he walked to the front of Hugo, "It's nice to see you again, Hugo." Robert stretched out his right hand , trying to shake Hugo's right hand, but seeing Hugo's stiff posture, he finally patted Hugo's palm instead, which seemed to be a high-five, quite childish, "I hope you will tonight As luck would have it, I made a bet with a group of friends, and I bet everything on you, so I'll be stacking my fingers for you!"

"That's really great. Blessings are always welcome, aren't they? I just hope the result doesn't disappoint, otherwise the blessing turns into a curse, which is very bad." Hugo's teasing revealed his good mood .

Robert didn't speak, but raised his right hand, the middle finger and index finger overlapped together, and then made a gesture, so that both of them looked at each other and smiled, "Okay, I won't disturb your work, I'll be at you at night See you at the party." After saying that, Robert politely said goodbye and left, as if he really just came to say hello.

"Hugo, is this Mr. Iger really just here to say hello?" Nicholas smelled something unusual in the air, and he recalled it carefully, "I recently heard that Disney seems to intend to create a key work , Could it be that they have taken a fancy to you? You had a great conversation just now."

After Nicholas' reminder, Hugo also realized that the whole process of the two meetings with Robert was very relaxed and happy, which is not normal. Even for Kevin Burns and Lon Meyer, Hugo was always vigilant when talking with them, because he knew that these bigwigs were foxes who decided the fate of many people amidst the chatter and laughter. Robert was also one of them, but Hugo was not aware of this vigilance. Is Robert not aggressive, or is Robert too sophisticated?

"I don't know anything about it, so why don't you tell me what happened?" Thoughts flashed in his mind, and Hugo replied without a pause, but he secretly guessed in his heart: Disney's gourd What kind of medicine are they selling?

When Nicholas saw Hugo's Tai Chi, he knew that he couldn't get any news, but he just remembered it in his heart, and planned to go back and find out, maybe it was an exclusive, but he said, "Hehe, Let's focus on tonight first. You look so amazing right now, Eddie's work is amazing, can designers always work such wonderful magic? God, I'm already looking forward to it You're on the red carpet!"
