Chapter 341 341 Airport Containment
The long transatlantic flight made Hugo drowsy, so much so that when Hugo stepped on the ground at Los Angeles International Airport, he felt as if his feet were on cotton, so soft that he could not exert any strength, but Looking at the bright sunshine outside the airport, which is completely different from Poland, still makes people's mood fly involuntarily.
Hugo stretched a lot, "I still like Los Angeles, I feel much more comfortable looking at the sky."
"Then you should settle in Miami." Joseph stood beside him and waited for his luggage. Although the crime rate in Miami is still high today, Miami's beaches are indeed a resort, and few people can refuse Miami's beaches and waves. and sunshine.
At this time, Steven Spielberg, Liam Lynson, Ben Kingsley and others, the entire "Schindler's List" crew stood around relaxedly, chatting with smiles on their faces. After 71 days of hard work, the film was finally announced, and the 1993 calendar was pushed from mid-March to the end of May. The pace of summer has left its mark on the streets of the City of Angels. . When I left, I was reluctant to part in the winter season, but when I came back, it was a hot summer day, which made everyone smile when they looked at the big boxes of winter clothes.
In the end of the depressing journey of the whole movie, the burdens on everyone's shoulders were taken off, and the whole person became relaxed in an instant, even Steven was no longer tense. Both chatted and laughed with the crew members, so that the plane back was filled with non-stop laughter.
"Hey, lad, it's been a really hard time." A voice interrupted Hugo and Joseph's chat, and when he looked back, it was Ben Kingsley. The talent shown is amazing, of course, the more important thing is Hugo's dedication, which is a very valuable asset for any actor.
Hugo smiled and replied, "That's my job, isn't it?"
"This shows that the payment is worth the money, and it also proves that my vision is correct." Steven's figure came over from behind, and the heaviness between his eyebrows also dissipated little by little with the California sunshine. .
"Your focus should be the second half of the sentence." Ben laughed, gave Steven a hug, and after greeting Hugo, he walked towards Liam.
Steven looked at Hugo seriously. This was not the first time he looked at Hugo, and I believe it would not be the last time, but he still couldn't believe that the king of the night who was in the crew a few days ago, now shows A completely different side. For any actor, plasticity is a very important trait. The actor can show a variety of characteristics in front of the camera, which is decisive for the actor's career, and the reason why handsome guys and beauties are difficult to break through is because of their appearance. Plasticity is limited. But obviously, that's not the case with Hugo.
Hugo's amber eyes, as if condensed into fossils before BC, contain depth and color that people will never be able to understand, and the explosive, restrained and outstanding performance style can be freely retracted, which makes people applaud. Steven didn't know why and suddenly thought of Katherine Hepburn, an inexplicable inspiration.
"You proved yourself." Steven said to Hugo, but he did not specify what Hugo proved, whether it proved the falsehood of the rumors after the Golden Globe Awards, or proved people's perception of Hugo's acting talent The opinion has always been, or it has proved that Hugo is also capable of various roles. "Thanks to your excellent performance, our shooting went very smoothly, and even unleashed endless potential..."
Steven saw Hugo open his mouth to speak, but he raised his hand to stop Hugo, "I know you want to be humble, which is one of your good qualities. But you are worthy of praise." The text did not say a lot of hype, those words of praise can be reserved for the publicity period and then said slowly, but this simple sentence of praise is definitely from the heart.
At this point, Joseph had gone to chat with another producer, Katherine Kennedy, and he wisely reserved the chat space for Hugo and Steven.
Hugo watched as the crew began to push the cart out one after another, he and Steven looked around and followed slowly, "Although you must have heard this many times, the truth is In this way, I have always wanted to be able to cooperate with you, so it is indeed an honor for me to be able to realize my wish this time."
Steven could clearly see the sincerity in Hugo's eyes, and he couldn't help laughing proudly, "I know it's the truth." Hugo couldn't help laughing out loud, "It seems that I'll go back, I should ask again Green had a meal and thanked him for recommending such a great actor to me."
"It seems that Green will not be short of meals recently." Hugo said jokingly, he should also invite Green to have a meal.
As they spoke, the light in front of them suddenly lit up. Hugo and Steven reflexively looked in the direction of the light. Then the light exploded in an instant, and the whole silver curtain of light was like a water curtain. , slammed it towards the face fiercely, even though Hugo had experienced such a big battle several times, his eyes were still stinged by the light, and he closed his eyes involuntarily, and suddenly appeared in the black world. Countless light spots were chasing, and the temperature of the flash made Hugo's face feel the slight heat.
Obviously, this is the media setting up the gantry.
How is this going? "Schindler's List" was so low-key when it went out, and the media were generally not optimistic. During the entire shooting process, he stayed comfortably in Poland, as if he was isolated from the world. There was no media to give more to the crew. focus on. So when the crew came back today, why was there a big battle to greet them all of a sudden? Or did they greet not the "Schindler's List" crew, but Madonna?
Hugo opened his eyes slightly, and saw that he was half a step behind Steven, he quickly followed, and then saw reporters swarming up quickly - they were not for Madonna.
Steven has seen this kind of big battle countless times, so he skillfully raised his right hand, reached his head, and then walked forward quickly - "Schindler's List" crew currently does not have Plan to accept any interview. But the reporters obviously wouldn't give up easily. They tried their best to squeeze in, and then drilled in with the cameras in their hands from all angles, hoping to capture first-hand pictures.
Hugo just glanced at the gap. There were about twenty reporters in front of him, which didn't sound like a lot, but they rushed up together and blocked in front of him. The difference in strength was still very obvious.
Steven obviously did not expect so many reporters to come to pick up the plane, so he did not arrange bodyguards at all, and now he can only rely on his own strength to break through. The reporters around were constantly asking "how is the filming progress of this film", "what are your thoughts on the future of the film", "how is the crew getting along" and other nonsense, Steven was indifferent and continued to move forward.
But after walking a few steps, Steven found that the reporters were not too entangled. This is not the style of the Los Angeles reporters. You must know that these reporters do not give up until they achieve their goals. Even when there are bodyguards around, the reporters will Followed until the last moment, until after they drove away, the reporter would frantically press the shutter with the camera behind the car.
Immediately, Steven discovered the reason for the abnormality. The reporters actually aimed all the cameras at Hugo behind him. His ears were filled with the word "Uma". What is this? A person's name or a place name? Steven didn't have time to think further, he continued his footsteps, got out of the reporter's phalanx, and joined the staff in front.
Standing in front of the car that came to pick him up, Steven was waiting for his wife and children to appear. When he turned around, he saw the grand occasion of more than 20 reporters surrounding Hugo, as if he was being targeted by flies. General butter.
Hugo was also a little confused about such a situation. He couldn't remember what earth-shattering things he had done in the past, why the reporters suddenly found him. In the countless noises, he could only barely identify. The name "Uma" made Hugo frown slightly and stopped: What happened to Uma? The two of them haven't had any contact since that call. They went to Europe for more than two months. Why did they hear news suddenly?
"What?" Hugo said angrily. The main purpose of these reporters was obviously Hugo, and the "Schindler's List" crew was just incidental, so they surrounded Hugo and prevented him from moving at all. At this time, Joseph was still behind and did not follow, so Hugo could only stop.
In fact, if possible, Hugo still hopes to keep a distance from reporters. It is still difficult for him to face these reporters who are constantly digging into his private life with a peaceful attitude. But the current situation is obviously not that simple.
"Hugo, Uma mentioned you in an interview with the media last week, and she said you didn't date at all, just dated for a while, but in the end found out that they weren't right for each other, so they stopped seeing each other. That's true. ?"
"Hugo, Uma also said that she doesn't like your type of man, and took the initiative to say 'a lot of times the image on the big screen is created, it's not necessarily like this in private', and in this way it is implied that the two of you The main reason for ending the date was you."
This series of questions was like a thunderbolt exploded in Hugo's mind, and his first reaction was "What?"
Why did Uma take the initiative to advance this matter in front of the media? Since the breakup, the two of them have kept silent. He thought it was a tacit understanding between the two parties; also, Uma actually pushed all the mistakes on herself, which is why ? But whatever the reason, it's clearly not a pleasant thing to do.
