Chapter 566 566
Hearing the reporter's question, Hugo was a little unhappy, but it was not unexpected. This was all expected. The reporter had been entangled once at the premiere of "Schindler's List" before. Obviously they I will not give up easily. I only escaped an attack from Anthony Bond Stewart a few days ago. Now that the Creative Artists Agency is involved, the reporter is naturally more curious.
Therefore, Hugo was not angry, just shrugged and said calmly, "No, I have no plans to change agents for the time being. Joe's work is very conscientious, and our cooperation will continue."
"Do you mean 'Pulp Fiction'?" A reporter below shouted directly. Hugo looked forward and saw that it was a reporter he didn't know. Then he looked at the name of his newspaper, and it was actually "US Weekly" ". Hugo has a good impression of this gossip magazine because of his relationship with James Larter, but today the reporter is an unfamiliar face.
Hugo smiled and nodded, "Yes." It seems that the Weinstein Brothers have already started pre-promotion. Hugo joining a low-cost independent film like "Pulp Fiction" is definitely a good thing for the crew. It must be tucked away; and for Hugo, he felt it was no fuss, and he was happy to be a part of Pulp Fiction, so of course he graciously admitted it .
But after hearing Hugo's affirmative answer, the dozen or so reporters in front of them all showed very strange expressions. The reporter from "US Weekly" blurted out and asked, "Why?" Obviously, Hugo's decision was completely incomprehensible. its solution.
Hugo knew what the reporters thought. They had the same opinion as Joseph. Hugo could guess it. It was estimated that two-thirds of the professionals in Hollywood could not understand Hugo's choice, which made Hugo quite sneered. This is called having eyes but not knowing gold inlaid with jade.
"Because this is a good script? Quentin is a good director? I believe this will be a good movie?" Hugo's series of rhetorical questions made the reporters in front of him choked up. The irony in Hugo's words couldn't be clearer. Now, some reporters are going to ask questions again, but Hugo is not going to give them a chance, "Today I appeared at the premiere as Leo's friend, I think we should not limit the topic to me. "
Although Hugo said this sentence, it is obvious that the reporter will not let him be at his mercy, and then another reporter stood up and asked, "Hugo, Uma Thurman said in an interview yesterday that she does not think You will fire your current agent, she said that you have always been a person who values friendship, and she thinks these recent rumors are untrue. You confirmed this just now, so what do you think of Uma? What's your opinion?"
Uma? Hugo didn't expect Uma to speak for himself at this juncture, which is really unusual, but Hugo didn't pause too much, and said with a smile, "Hehe, thank you for her praise, I think this is for me Solved a lot of problems."
"Uma also confirmed in the interview that she will appear in 'Pulp Fiction'. What do you think about this?" The reporter's questions immediately made Hugo a little curious about the interview. What was said in this interview. Hugo paid a little attention and found that this reporter did not have a work card. This was too unusual. Could it be a reporter from the National Enquirer?
Although there were ideas in his mind, Hugo's answer did not stop, "I am an actor, and she is also an actor. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Before Hugo decided to act in "Pulp Fiction", he actually considered this situation. Although he didn't know what the real cooperation would be like, Hugo still hoped that he could show his dedication as an actor and work together with Uma. Finish the filming of the movie.
"Some unpleasant things happened between the two of you in June this year. Don't you worry about the cooperation?" The reporter was still chasing after him.
"I'll say it for the last time, today's protagonist is 'a different sky', it's not me, please don't focus on me." Hugo restrained his smile, emphasized sternly, and then calmly looked at the ten people in front of him. Several reporters, this suddenly made more than a dozen reporters look stunned, mainly because Yuguo was too friendly and warm just now, but the reporters had to make an inch, and now they are completely in an ice cellar.
The reporters just remembered that just a few days ago, Hugo faced nearly a hundred reporters without changing his face, almost pointing at the reporters' noses and accusing them of creating the ugly incident of the witch trials, no one wanted to face them. For Hugo like that, even if he can break the news, he doesn't want to.
"I will answer for the last time, I am an actor, and Uma is also an actor. I believe that we will all focus on our performance work and work together to complete the filming of the work." Hugo emphasized this time with a very serious and formal voice. After that, he looked at the group of reporters in front of him, and then said, "I think my interview is over, bye."
"Hugo, you can't just leave like this..." But before the reporter's words were finished, he was overwhelmed by the swarms of questions from the air pressure reporters.
"Hugo, haven't you thought about changing partners?"
"I heard that Universal Pictures offered you $15 million to star in a movie, is that true?"
But Hugo didn't stop at all, he just handed over the recording equipment to the host standing next to him, and left without looking back. Only a dozen reporters were left standing in place with annoyed expressions, and then they all cast angry glances at the questioning reporter who didn't have a work card just now. They finally came across such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but now they are all ruined. It's so frustrating.
After Hugo entered the Fox Theater, and then saw Toby Maguire who had arrived at the theater, Hugo's face immediately showed a smile, "Hey, Toby."
"Hugo, you're here." Toby's young baby face also showed a bright smile. Compared with the time when he first met, Toby became more and more open in front of Hugo, and his smile gradually increased. Get up, he is indeed a slow person. "Leo is going to be very happy." Since Hugo was in a vortex recently, Leonardo originally thought that Hugo was unwilling to appear in front of the media, but Hugo came to the scene for Leonardo, not to mention Leo Oonaduo, even Toby was very excited, "It is estimated that the reporters outside will be too happy."
Seeing that Toby was actually making fun of himself, Hugo laughed, but he didn't refute Toby, but looked around, "Can you find today's 'Los Angeles Times' here?" Hugo I am still a little curious about what Uma said in the interview, otherwise he will continue to know nothing and be too passive when facing reporters.
"Of course, it's on the newspaper rack at the entrance." Although Toby was puzzled, he still said. Although the Fox Theater is often used as a venue for premieres, it is usually an ordinary cinema, so there is a rest area in the lobby, and naturally there are newspapers and magazines for the audience to entertain while waiting.
Hugo walked over, and sure enough, he found the "Los Angeles Times" on the newspaper shelf. After flipping through it, he found an interview about Uma in the entertainment section. It turned out that Uma was interviewed after confirming the male and female protagonists in Pulp Fiction. Hugo noticed a detail. Uma took over the script after he confirmed the role.
The reason Hugo noticed this was because he remembered that Quentin said that there were some problems with the selection of other characters, so even if he promised before, there was no way to start filming. Could it be that Quentin has been persuading Uma?
In this interview of Uma, it is inevitable to mention her relationship with Hugo. After all, the news hype of the two people during the release of "Sleepless in Seattle" was well known. Uma apologized for her remarks at the time, which she attributed to "I realized at that time what a wonderful man I had missed, and I was very angry with myself, and this anger was transferred to him, so I said Some words that don't look for borders", and then Uma repeatedly expressed her apology.
What a brilliant excuse to blame everything on love, this set of Tai Chi is very beautiful.
Later, Uma was also interviewed about the rumor that Hugo was going to fire his meritorious agent. Uma firmly stood by Hugo. She thought that Hugo was not such a person. She also said that Hugo was a person who looked at friendship. very important people, and Hugo and Joseph are very close friends, "I sometimes even get jealous of their tacit understanding, so, you know, it's impossible, Hugo is not going to fire Joe. ."
Apart from these, there is no mention of Hugo in other content, most of which are Uma's expectations and opinions on the script of "Pulp Fiction", as well as some interesting stories about how Quentin persuaded her to appear in this work.
Hugo looked at this report but fell into contemplation. It seems that Uma is sending a friendly signal to him, because the next two people will work together to make a movie and get along day and night. If the relationship is very bad, it will affect the whole team. It was a disaster for the crew.
But Hugo has no way to convince himself that this is all the truth. Maybe after the trust is broken, there is really no way to reproduce it. There was a voice in Hugo's mind saying: Uma wants more than that. But Hugo had no evidence to support this idea.
Hugo clenched his fist slightly and told himself: Don't think wildly. He's never been a negative thinker, so he tells himself that maybe it's all just because what happened before has made him unable to trust Uma, which is a sign of this persecutory paranoia.
At this time, Samora's cheerful voice called Hugo back, "Hugo, can I eat buffet now? Or do I have to wait for the premiere to end?"
Hugo turned around and saw Samora with shining eyes, and laughed dumbly, "Samora, fortunately, it is Toby who is standing beside me now, not Leo, otherwise Leo will be disappointed."
