2093 Chapter 2093 Weinstein

Walking into the hall of Dorothy Chandler, Hugo saw the guests who were still very noisy. Almost no one was seated. Everyone stood in their seats and in the aisle, saying hello to people they knew. The whole hall seemed very lively.

Most of the people sitting in the middle of the hall are the staff of the technical department of the film crew. Hugo knows many of them. After rolling in Hollywood for these years and shooting so many works, there are more and more familiar faces. Hugo's pace also slowed down.

From a distance, Hugo saw Harvey Weinstein who was chatting with Warren Beatty. Harvey raised his chin at him as a greeting, and Hugo smiled and nodded. In fact, in Hugo's current success, the Weinstein brothers have crucial works. Behind the great success of "Pulp Fiction" is the promotion effect of these two brothers-this work makes Hugo in the minds of independent filmmakers. Obtaining an unshakable position is also an important part of Hugo's journey to the present.

However, as Hugo's career continued to grow, opportunities for cooperation between the Weinstein Brothers' leading Miramax Films and him gradually began to decrease. Miramax Films is an independent production company, and Hugo has never left the field of independent films, but the biggest reason for the lack of communication between the two is Disney——Disney under the leadership of Michael Eisner, for his subordinates After the Miramax film industry was acquired by Disney in 1993, it was really difficult for the fledgling Weinstein brothers to do their best.

Therefore, Hugo and the Weinstein brothers can only be regarded as acquaintances now.

Just when Hugo was about to look back, he found Harvey walking towards him, and then Bob Weinstein, who was standing not far away, also walked over with Gwyneth Paltrow . This made Hugo a little surprised. He looked around and made sure that the two brothers were indeed looking for him, but he was guessing why they came here—if it was just a greeting in a social situation, the nod just now would be enough .

While thinking, Harvey had already walked in front of Hugo, "Long time no see, Hugo." Harvey gave Hugo a hug warmly, with a very friendly smile on his face, "The last time we met was Where? Fifth Avenue in New York? Right?"

Hugo nodded in affirmation, "Your memory is obviously better than mine." The last time they met was probably during the release promotion of "The Truman Show", when "The Truman Show" and Gwyneth's " The "Super Perfect Murder Case" has become a hot topic for a while.

Hugo didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that it was normal for the Weinstein brothers to appear in New York. But looking back now, it's not that simple. Because "Super Perfect Murder" was also being promoted in New York at the time, and Gwyneth is now the target of the Weinstein brothers. Perhaps, since then, the Weinstein brothers have already begun to make arrangements.

Harvey shook his head heartily, "It's not that my memory is better than yours, but that I need to remember more things than you." This sentence is meaningful and worth pondering carefully.

However, Hugo didn't have time, because Bob and Gwyneth had already arrived in front of him in a blink of an eye, and Bob's first reaction was also, "It's been...eight months since we last met, right?" Accurate memory Really amazing.

Hugo looked over, and then saw Gwyneth standing in Bob's arms, and Bob's right hand was neatly placed on Gwyneth's waist. No random guessing, just a gentleman's courtesy. But Hugo noticed a subtle difference. Gwyneth seemed to be standing upright, but her whole body was leaning slightly towards Bob, as if... it was like cuddling, that subtle chemical reaction, It's hard to describe in words, but it made Hugo's eyes stay on Gwyneth for a while longer.

Gwyneth seemed to be aware of the scrutiny in Hugo's sight, which made her a little embarrassed, she stood up a little bit, and moved her steps slightly, as if intending to increase the distance between her and Bob—obviously This is almost impossible, because Bob's right hand is on her waist, and the distance between the two is still less than a palm's distance, but Gwyneth is still moving slightly, as if she wants to pass This is the way to express your position.

"Recently, the response to several of your works has been extraordinary, which is really admirable." Harvey's voice made Hugo look away, which made Gwyneth slightly relieved. She felt that Hugo's eyes were like cow hair Like needles, she is always watching her every move, which reminds her of the humiliation she suffered in the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew, and she is completely on pins and needles.

Gwyneth turned her head to look at Bob carefully, and found that Bob didn't seem to notice her abnormality at all, which made her slightly relieved.

"I'm going to be ashamed to hear this. The 'Shakespeare in Love' that everyone is talking about recently, if I remember correctly, is the work produced by you?" Hugo renewed the praise with a light word. pushed back.

Harvey immediately burst out laughing, it can be seen that he is really in a good mood, "It is my honor to be liked by everyone. I have no direct relationship with the work itself, I am just a promoter, and I am responsible for distributing those Excellent works are recommended to everyone, and I hope everyone can enjoy the fun of the movie more. That’s all.”

Harvey's modest words reveal strong self-confidence, and it can be seen that he believes that "Shakespeare in Love" is definitely the proud work of the two brothers. From being unpopular in the early stages of the awards season to now being the favorite to win the Oscar, the Weinstein brothers have really fought well in this public relations battle.

In later generations, people once joked that Oscar was "Weinstein's Oscar", and even later, the works promoted by the Weinstein brothers behind the scenes were no longer strong, and people joked about "Weinstein's midlife crisis" instead. It seems that in people's eyes, Oscar has completely become a game for the Weinstein brothers. This may be just a joke, but it can be seen that the two brothers have great influence and control over the academy.

Now, the Weinstein brothers have demonstrated their outstanding ability. But compared to them five years later, the great success of this year's first awards season still makes them a little overwhelmed - especially the person in front of them is Hugo, and their previous friendship also makes them relax their vigilance.

Before Harvey finished speaking, Bob next to him said politely, "We are flattered that Hugo said that. You know, 'The Truman Show' is the real hit tonight." The strong self-confidence can hardly be concealed, and it seems to indicate that they are determined to win the Best Picture Award!

Hugo knows that the trajectory of history is like this, and the Weinstein brothers' pride is not groundless, but well-thought-out.

"Hehe, in private communication, my best picture voted for 'Saving Private Ryan'." Hugo said with an inscrutable expression on his face, but the content of the words made both Harvey and Bob laugh out loud stand up. Hugo's words were actually showing weakness. He believed that "The Truman Show" was not qualified to win the championship, so he supported Steven Spielberg, "So, I hope you don't mind too much."

Gwyneth could sense Hugo's fear of the Weinstein brothers, which rekindled her confidence. She remembered that Bob told her last night that, if there were no accidents, she would win the Best Actress award tonight, and the probability was as high as 80%.

Thinking of this, Gwyneth couldn't help straightening her spine. She knew that she was not at the same level as those women, what Cameron Diaz, what Charlize Theron, what Sandra Bullock... That's what Hugo saw, and Some women with poor standards hang around and don't understand the value hidden in her at all. Just like Brad Pitt, a douchebag who can't afford it! Looking at the two years since Brad broke up with her, it was a mess, and his career hadn't improved. It is estimated that he can only continue to show off his skin in the future.

Tonight, she was going to step on Charlize's corpse to win the Best Actress Award, and she couldn't wait to see Hugo's regretful expression—he would definitely regret rejecting her! At that time, even if he begged himself on his knees, he would not give him a second chance.

Gwyneth raised her chin slightly, and looked down at Hugo—they stood at the top of the steps, and Hugo stood at the bottom. This is a common trick of the Weinstein brothers, often when people are not aware of it It has already brought psychological hints. Gwyneth carefully looked at Hugo's face that drove countless people crazy, and thought, "If he is willing to lick my toes, maybe I will nod and agree to him."

"Actually, your performance in 'The Truman Show' was also very good..." Gwyneth approached Bob again, gently clung to Bob's shoulder, and said in a regretful tone, as if she was Said: Although your performance is good, it's a pity...

Hugo raised his eyes and looked at Gwyneth's elegant neck curve like a swan, showing arrogance and elegance like a swan, and a smile was slightly drawn on the corner of his mouth, "I think so too, just like Charlize So-so in 'Woman. The Devil'. Not bad."

Hugo's soft words were heard in Gwyneth's ears, but they were harsh no matter what, and she couldn't help but clenched her right hand tightly. At this moment, she felt the heat of Bob's palm coming from her waist. She looked down at Bob, and then found a firm and calm confidence in Bob's eyes, as if to say: Why bother? Anyway, the statuette is yours, so you can do whatever you want when the time comes.

This made Gwyneth release her palm again, let out a long breath, showed a perfect and elegant smile, and said to Hugo in a queenly manner, "I wish you good luck tonight."
