Chapter 1999: 1999 Expectations

"What's going on here?" Hugo looked at the reporters standing up in front of him, and cast a puzzled look at Robin, "Whack-a-mole?"

A rhetorical question made Robin almost fail. The smile had already reached his lips, and he raised it slightly, but he held back at the last moment and adjusted his breathing, "Your fanatical admirer. Where are the security guards? Someone sabotaged the scene Order, haven’t you noticed?” Robin’s response made the six reporters realize that this is not a press conference, there is no questioning session, and in order to avoid being taken away directly, they can only sit in a daze. down.

Robin immediately withdrew his gaze, and looked back at Hugo again, "Then, can I understand that your name will appear more frequently in the producer column in the future?" The factory partnership, but Robin didn't directly mention it.

Hugo smiled and shook his head, "No, it's not the same. I'm an actor, a singer first, and then a screenwriter and producer. The focus of my work has never really changed."

"Oh, it's a pity." Robin's expression didn't look like a regretful expression, but a little teasing, "It seems that the academy is going to regret it, the best original screenplay statuette didn't get the real award play."

Hugo was immediately amused by Robin, "They can choose to take it back, but I can choose to refuse. What about you?" An unremarkable response, but because of the last rhetorical question, Robin's expression froze immediately—— He has just won a statuette this year.

Robin coughed twice, concealing his embarrassment, and directly avoided the question, asking instead, "So, you mean you will still focus on movies?" That serious expression made everyone Everyone couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help clapping their hands and laughing.

Hugo also chuckled lightly, and then shook his head slowly, "Don't worry, I'm not Kevin Costner." Hugo's response made the audience stunned, there was such a second of silence, the whole The atmosphere at the scene seemed a little weird. But then everyone realized what it meant—Kevin, who was born as an actor, was gone forever on the road of director, and after "Future Water World", he fell into an unprecedented career trough—in an instant, the audience roared with laughter .

Kevin, who was resting at home at this time, felt itchy ears inexplicably, and then sneezed several times in a row, unable to stop. In the end, he sat there with a bewildered face, "Have you caught a cold?"

"Yes yes yes, I know you are Hugo Lancaster, you don't need to remind me over and over again." Robin looked impatient, interpreting Hugo's answer in another way, "Let's go back to today's topic, 'The Truman Show'. The filming process of this work was very hard, and you encountered many difficulties in cooperating with Alex, so do you regret choosing Alec? Si, instead of choosing Leonardo to work together?"

The first half of the sentence was very normal, but the second half had a sudden change in style, which made Hugo stunned immediately, and blurted out, "Huh?" The reporter looked stunned, and then all the reporters burst into laughter.

Robin had to explain again, "Don't Leonardo have any opinion on your choice to work with Alex?" As for the "gossip" between Guo and Leonardo, Robin then added, "No, I mean, Leonardo is also a good actor, isn't he?"

But Robin's concealment made the audience laugh even more joyfully. Hugo spread his hands, "That's why I made a compromise—you know, Leo and I are officially living together now." With a sincere face On the contrary, Robin and the reporters were stunned by the expression, but the audience immediately reacted, and everyone clapped their hands and laughed, making the atmosphere lively.

Hugo's calm attitude made it impossible for the reporters to continue asking questions, because Hugo had already "admitted", what else could they do?

In the end, it was Robin who reacted quickly. He shrugged and said in an embarrassing way, "You know, the times are much more tolerant now." This meaningful subtext made the audience laugh like crazy, and the whole audience changed It became a sea of ​​laughter, and even Hugo couldn't help laughing, shaking his head and laughing.

"So, what's your answer?" Robin said again without thinking, which made Hugo's smile freeze, "I encountered many difficulties during the filming process, how do you feel?"

Hugo said "oh", then nodded carefully, "I'm pretty sure I won't take on 'Slim Daddy', comedy movies are hard enough, if you have to wear headgear, special makeup, etc., I'd rather say no .” Such an answer also made Robin smile.

"It can be seen that you are very satisfied with 'The Truman Show', and your words are full of confidence." Robin keenly captured Hugo's demeanor and tone, and expressed his point of view in an affirmative way. And Hugo just shrugged, neither affirming nor denying. "So are you confident enough in this week's box office? I mean, you have to face Roland Emmerich's 'Godzilla,' and it's bound to be a tough fight."

"Roland, I haven't seen him for a while, but we talked on the phone last week. Indeed, we both mentioned this matter." Facing such a topic, Hugo didn't practice Tai Chi like reporters did during interviews. Blurring the focus, "Although Roland and I both voted for Truman,... the final result still needs to be answered by the audience, isn't it?"

Hugo's short answer contained deep meaning: he showed a positive attitude towards "The Truman Show", and his strong self-confidence made people smile.

This kind of Hugo is actually not common, because Hugo has always believed that the success or failure of the box office is not determined by them, but in the hands of the audience. Therefore, Hugo has always been modest and cautious when facing box office issues. But today, not only did Hugo not evade the problem, but he also took the initiative to express his confidence, not only because of Robin, but obviously there are deeper reasons.

When "The Sixth Sense" has been questioned, Hugo has shown enough confidence in the box office of "The Truman Show", which is actually releasing a message: I am not aimless in choosing any work.

Although the current media believe that Hugo chose "Sixth Sense of the Spirit" because of his arrogance caused by overconfidence, no one can deny that in the face of Hugo's absolute confidence, no one in the world dares to say that they can Challenge Hugo's authority.

This kind of self-confidence is not for the "sixth sense of spirituality", but for the follow-up development of DreamWorks. This is a strategic self-confidence, so that Hugo's strong influence can inject more confidence into DreamWorks.

"Very well, I'll walk into the movie theater with a critic in mind, and you'd better be prepared to bear the wrath." Robin said succinctly, "I'll cross my fingers." Robin looked bad Looking at Hugo with a smile, he crossed his fingers, as if to say "this is a curse, not a blessing", and the laughter on the scene resounded again.

The short interview was like a talk show, which made everyone in the audience extremely happy, and the sparks between Robin and Hugo were even more eye-catching. Even if Jay Leno arrived at the scene in person, it is estimated that this is the effect.

More importantly, during this short conversation, the two discussed all the recent hot spots almost cryptically, from the choice of "Star Wars Prequel" and "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" to "Truman" The box-office duel between "The World of Godzilla" and "Godzilla", to the ridiculous scandal between Hugo and Leonardo, as well as the new actions of DreamWorks, almost all aspects are involved, and the two are also ridiculing each other, They joked with each other without any scruples, filling the entire interview process with countless information points.

With this one interview alone, journalists can write a special report eloquently.

As people have speculated, Paramount arranged for Robin to be the guest host on the red carpet, and the interaction between him and Hugo became the focus, either actively or passively responding to all the topics, which is also the reason for the subsequent premiere. Foreshadowing has been laid for the interview with reporters. At the subsequent press conference, the reporters hardly had any room to play. Hugo avoided answering everyone's questions, saying that they had already been answered, and then shifted the topic to "The Truman World" again. On top of that, the reporters felt bitter but helpless.

Even so, the conversation between Robin and Hugo was eye-catching. The humor between the two not only made the scene lively, but also boosted people's confidence in "The Truman Show".

No one should ignore Hugo's sense of humor-the talent shown by Hugo and Robin in the premiere scene once again awakened people's consistent impression. Hugo's humorous eloquence is always eye-catching. In the occasion, the humor shown by Hugo was impressive. This is also the reason why Hugo took over the filming of "The Truman Show". Although people were a little puzzled, they didn't make trouble—many people were looking forward to whether Hugo could continue the filming of Billy Crystal or Robin Williams. In his style, he became an increasingly rare comedian.

At this time, people also remembered: "As Good as It Gets" is a comedy movie. Hugo showed wisdom and humor in the lines of this work, which made "As Good as It Gets" win the love of countless audiences, and the script contained in it The wisdom in it made this movie affirmed at the Oscars. So, "The Truman Show" can be favored by Hugo, does it mean that this comedy script is also excellent?

This also makes people look forward to "The Truman Show" again, not only in terms of box office, but also in quality!
