Chapter 2076: 2076 Blizzard Year End

The weather in Wyoming has been terrible recently. It has been snowing intermittently since mid-December, and there was a blizzard on Christmas Eve, which spread for nearly a day, and the snow outside the window has submerged to the calf. The world covered in silver looks like the magnificent Middle-earth world in "The Lord of the Rings".

Adam carried a plate with simple scrambled eggs and baked toast in it, walked up to the second floor with firm steps, knocked on the door of the room, and then pushed open the not-so-thick wooden door , I saw the messy bed at a glance, but Hugo was not in it, but sat quietly in front of the window, typing on the typewriter.

Outside the window is a vast white snowfield. You can vaguely see the green and brown hidden under the thick white snow. The golden sun shines down without any hindrance, making the whole world golden and bright. The illusion of being in a fairy tale.

Adam put the plate on the table lightly, opened his mouth to say something, but the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them down, just whispered, "I'll go to the ranch to see." Without waiting for the rain Guo replied, turned around and left. When they walked to the door, Hugo's voice came from behind, "Merry Christmas!"

Adam stopped involuntarily, fell silent for a while, and replied muffledly, "Merry Christmas."

"I put your gift under the Christmas tree, and the Taylor family's gift." Hugo's voice came over again, even if Adam didn't look back, he could feel the smile in Hugo's voice, showing his kindness. Feeling.

Adam thought for a while, turned around and walked back again, took out a small rectangular box from his trousers pocket, without any gift wrapping, just a simple box, handed it out, Hugo took it, and then Adam He left the room in silence again, this time without any pause.

Hugo looked at Adam's slightly stiff back, showed a faint smile, lowered his head and opened the box. There was a pen lying inside. It was a very ordinary pen, and it was even a little old. After a closer look, the brand on the side was even worn out. Fan, and then the memories in my mind emerged bit by bit.

The pen was an admission gift from Lena when he was in first grade, and he absolutely loved it, using it almost every day, so much so that the sides of the pen were frayed. However, after Lena left without saying goodbye, Hugo angrily threw away the pen, and it was never found again.

Unexpectedly, this pen returned to his hand again today.

Three days ago, Hugo left Los Angeles and returned to Lanches. On the one hand, it is to accompany Adam to spend the annual Christmas, and on the other hand, it is also to let the noisy environment of Los Angeles completely quiet down and devote himself to the adaptation of the script.

Although Adam still complained constantly, thinking that Hugo's return disturbed his peaceful life, he could feel that the atmosphere at home became more relaxed, and the Taylor family also came here often because of Hugo's existence, which made Adam even more Even the stiff face can no longer remain the same.

In fact, Hugo had told Adam about Lena before that, and Adam had been the one who persuaded Hugo to let go all along, so after learning about the situation, Adam's mood was obviously a little easier. However, Hugo did not expect that Adam would choose such a Christmas gift, which was really a surprise.

Hugo stopped what he was doing, leaned back on the back of the chair, and carefully looked at the pen in his hand. Those long-term memories were almost blurred even in fragments, but he rubbed the pen on the side of the pen. The imprint, that distant sense of familiarity slowly blooms in the fingertips.

After thinking for a while, Hugo opened the pen and found that there was enough ink in it. He took the piece of paper off the typewriter and started writing immediately. I am used to using a typewriter, but I am not used to writing by hand suddenly. This made Hugo pause, reorganize the thoughts in his mind, and then start to write again, "John pulled his coat and walked in quickly. The dormitory building..."

The black ink flowed slowly on the white paper, with a kind of poetic romance, different from the solidity and squareness of the black lead, the black ink had an indescribable smoothness, blooming a faint luster. This reminded Hugo of the excitement when he got a pen for the first time when he was a child. He could sit at the desk for almost the whole afternoon, unwilling to leave—Hugo deeply felt that he should be a nerd when he was a child: To be precise , Chen Hugo is not, Lancaster is.

Hugo nodded vigorously, affirming his guess, "That's it."

On Christmas Day, Los Angeles was sunny, not only was there no snow, and even the cold wind could not be felt in the air, on the contrary, one could feel the restless enthusiasm slowly spreading in the air: because, The first awards season in Hollywood history has quietly arrived.

On the last weekend of 1998, there were more than ten film premieres-including the first round of screenings, which was unprecedented before. Four of the films were wide-scale premieres, and the remaining six films were all local spots. The intention to release before the deadline for Oscar registration is really obvious.

December of this year has completely become a carnival feast for art films. These films do not have the ability to drive the box office, and most of them are only limited to art theaters. It is hoped to achieve excellent results at the major award ceremonies at the end of the year. However, some films are released before the deadline for Golden Globes, some are released before the deadline for the top five union awards, and some are for the ultimate goal of each year - the Oscars.

These movies flooded the screens in November and December. This is the first time in history that most film companies do not have a clear idea. They just rush to arrange the release, and then hope to concentrate on bombing before the awards ceremony starts, so that the judges can appreciate the charm of their own works. , but there is still no specific strategy.

Among them, the Miramax film industry led by the Weinstein brothers has quietly sprung up. They will focus on the work "Shakespeare in Love" at the end of this year.

The film brings together Joseph - Fiennes (Joseph. Fiennes), Gwyneth - Paltrow, Geoffrey - Rush, Tom - Wilkinson (Tom. Wilkinson), Judi - Dench, Cole Powerful actors such as Lin Firth focused on Will Shakespeare, artistically processed the story of his creation of "Romeo and Juliet", endowing this one of the greatest and most famous writers in film history Fresh vitality.

The Weinsteins are also apparently the first to try and promote a film around the awards show in December, but their business acumen puts them ahead of everyone else. "Shakespeare in Love" opened in the second week of December, just in time for the Golden Globes deadline.

They launched an intensive screening of the film in Los Angeles, and invited judges from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to walk into the cinema to watch the film-this is allowed in the academy's regulations, because the judges can only watch the film after watching the film. Make an evaluation.

After three rounds of targeted intensive screenings, in the last week of December, the film had its first round of extended screenings in 300 theaters. At the same time, the Weinstein brothers held various Party - a party that has nothing to do with movies at all, it's just a year-end carnival, and most people in Hollywood have participated in this year-end carnival. It's still not against Academy rules -- because even the Academy can't stop its own judges from partying.

But in such ordinary daily life, people in the Hollywood circle gradually began to circulate a view in private discussions: "Shakespeare in Love" is an excellent work, excellent beyond imagination, even Better than "The Truman Show".

This remark sounds ridiculous, because "The Truman Show" is considered to be the only work comparable to "Forrest Gump" in recent years, and in terms of deep digging and realistic criticism of the film, "The Truman Show" is even better. Many people think that "The Truman Show" will be a strong contender for the Oscar, and the biggest competitor of this film is "Saving Private Ryan"-this work is considered to surpass "Schindler's List". ", becoming Steven's most perfect work so far.

However, now "Shakespeare in Love" is actually better than "The Truman Show"? Isn't this the absurdity of the wild world?

Therefore, this week, "Shakespeare in Love" held a comprehensive expansion, and many people decided to go to the cinema to see this work, examine the real materials of this work, and see how true those rumors are.

No one noticed that "Shakespeare in Love" had quietly become what everyone was talking about after only three weeks in theaters; however, Steven did. This time, he thought of Hugo's warning, and an ominous premonition emerged in his heart for no reason. After two weeks of waiting and hesitation, Steven found David Geffen, and the two had an in-depth conversation for nearly two hours.

On Christmas Day, DreamWorks announced that it will hold a New Year's Eve party to welcome the second year after the establishment of DreamWorks. At the same time, "Saving Private Ryan", which was already close to going offline, announced again that it will have a second round of expanded screenings next week, and will be screened in 800 theaters.

For a while, Hollywood was under the tide, but this time, only a very small number of people could smell the abnormality. More people just think that this is nothing more than a normal day-to-day. Amid all the turmoil, the last week of December rolled around with a slew of movie premieres, including "The Devil."
