Chapter 567 Chapter 567
Hugo and Toby just chatted for a while, and Leonardo arrived. Originally, this was not such a grand premiere, and the whole red carpet time was not long, so everyone arrived at the scene faster.
When Leonardo saw Hugo, he immediately had a big smile on his face. He trotted all the way and rode to Hugo's waist in one fell swoop, holding Hugo's shoulders tightly with both hands, "You're here, You're here, wow, you're here!" Leonardo expressed his joy and excitement with the movements of his whole body.
However, Leonardo's forceful jumping, jumping and locking made Hugo's center of gravity unsteady, and he almost couldn't stand up. "Hey, man, are you sure that the steps in the acrobatic troupe are like this?" The words made Toby and Samora, who were standing beside them, both laughed out loud.
But Leonardo didn't mind at all, he supported Hugo's shoulders and jumped down, jumping up and down excitedly and shaking, "I thought those damn crows would haunt you, I last night Still talking to Toby, don't know if you won't show up today because of these crows."
"Even if there is hail in the sky, I will try my best to appear. I am worried that after I arrive at the scene, only to find out that none of you have appeared, that would be bad." Hugo said with a smile, feeling Leonardo's joy. , the smile also hung on the corner of his mouth again, "However, I don't know if I'm here today."
"What's wrong?" Leonardo, the little flea, finally stopped jumping. Although he was panting after he stopped, he kept looking left and right, guessing if something happened just now.
"You know, the complicated news has been very lively recently. After I showed up today, it's constantly babbling. Maybe tomorrow the reporters will put the wrong focus." Hugo said worriedly, although he had been trying hard to put the focus just now. The topic was pulled back to the premiere, but it seemed that the effect was not too obvious.
These reporters will not worry about whether today is the premiere of "Different Sky", they must have written more explosive news, and then put a note at the beginning or the end of the news when Hugo attended the "No" Interviewed at the premiere of "Same Sky". That's what journalists do best.
But for the crew, this is undoubtedly a bad news. No one wants their premiere to be robbed of the light by others. This is definitely a major blow to the publicity plan.
After Leonardo heard Hugo's words, he was not worried at all. Instead, he laughed and patted Hugo's shoulder and said, "Hugo, you have become arrogant." This red fruit fruit Hugo couldn't help laughing because of his ridicule. He was indeed suspected of bragging and boasting just now, "It's not the same for any movie released recently. Anyway, the earth-shaking news is endless, whether you appear or not, it's the same. It was released last week. Who would have guessed that the Jackson thing would have the latest development, taking all the news pages away.”
Leonardo was obviously more aware of the recent situation, and said with a smile, "After the premiere of 'Six. Degrees. Of. Separation', there was a lot of publicity, but when I turned to the news, It's all Hugo Lancaster, and MGM is pissed off."
Although Leonardo was talking about himself, Hugo always felt that he was listening to a fantasy. Maybe it was because he was always in the center of the vortex that he couldn't see the influence around the vortex.
"So, you are helping us by attending our premiere. Believe me, tomorrow's newspaper page will definitely be very interesting." Although Leonardo can only be regarded as a newcomer in the film industry, he has been immersed in these years. No longer a rookie.
Hearing Leonardo's explanation, Hugo nodded meaningfully. After a long time, he said, "Then, you owe me a meal." This sentence immediately made Samora next to him happy. The applause made Leonardo look depressed.
Leonardo looked away and saw Johnny Depp who had just walked in, and he immediately waved with a big smile on his face, "Hey, Johnny, come here, I'll introduce friends to you. "
Hugo turned his head to follow Leonardo's point of view, and then saw Johnny with a green face, walking over with backlighting behind him.
Johnny, who had just turned 30 at this time, could not be called "green" for a long time, but compared to the vicissitudes of life of the pirate captain who was familiar with Hugo's mind, the current Johnny was indeed very young. , as if pimples can still be seen on his clean cheeks, with a shallow smile on his face, a shy and shy look. This is undoubtedly a huge shock for Hugo.
When it comes to Johnny, fans all over the world who like him must have an image of his weird personality in their minds. Johnny is such a weird bean that doesn't follow common sense, whether it is "Pirates of the Caribbean (Pirates. Of. The. The. Caribbean)" in the classic image of the captain, or a series of works he collaborated with Tim Burton, are full of all kinds of grotesque characters, which also makes Johnny in the baby boomer generation of actors. Among them, always occupy a place.
Johnny walked up to Hugo with a smile on his face, "Thank you for coming, Hugo. Yesterday I was listening to Leo talking about you, and it's really nice to see you today. already."
The young captain made Hugo quite uncomfortable. He felt that the 1990s was really a very interesting era. He saw Brad Pitt, who was still young and energetic at this time, and Tom Crew who was amazing. , saw the lively and bright Leonardo DiCaprio, and now saw the young and shy Johnny Depp... And Hugo keenly noticed one thing, Johnny's height seems to be He was not as tall as he imagined. He only looked like five feet eight inches (one meter seven. Eight), which was also a bit far from Hugo's impression. It was really... worth pondering.
I have to say that too many things have changed over the years, and these people ten years later are not what they are now.
However, Hugo also knew that Johnny was not really young. In fact, Johnny at this time was when he was most rebellious. He was keen to play bands, opened his own bar, and even poisoned for a time. Obsessed with taste, drinking and fighting are commonplace... So, the appearance of youth is actually just a coat to cover up when he and Hugo are not familiar with each other.
Hugo held Johnny's outstretched right hand, "Trust me, I'm really happy to meet you, not just because I like the movie 'Edward Scissorhands'." Hugo is telling the truth , he actually admires an actor with such a flamboyant personality as Johnny. You must know that society always rejects the different, and it has always been the case, but Johnny makes the alternative also likable, which is not easy.
Hugo was referring to Johnny ten years later, but in Johnny's ears, he had another meaning, and he said directly, "I heard you mentioned River?"
River Phoenix, he and Johnny are very good friends, River because of smoking at the end of October this year. When he died of a drug overdose, it happened in Johnny's bar. Apparently, Johnny thought Hugo was impressed with him because of River.
Although it was a misunderstanding, Hugo had no intention of defending, he nodded, "Although I didn't have the opportunity to meet River, you know, his talent is always enviable. In fact, in In him, I can always see myself, or Leo or Toby, seeing us coming into Hollywood at a young age and then going up and down in Vanity Fair. It's not an easy thing."
Hollywood has never been easy, and it's even more difficult for those who entered the entertainment industry as children. The pressures child stars face are often stronger than adults, and the temptations they face. The confusion is also more complicated, and at the same time, the difficulties they face in transformation when they grow up are also multiplied. There are only a handful of artists who have a long history of film in the world, who were born as child stars, and finally succeeded in completing the transformation after growing up - or have successfully persevered in the colorful entertainment circle.
Hugo, Leonardo, Toby and Johnny all entered the entertainment industry before they were minors, and then grew up step by step in the limelight. From this perspective, they do have a lot in common. language. In this context, it is even more embarrassing to mention River.
Hugo's words made everyone silent, including Leonardo who was very excited just now. Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth and tried to say easily, "Maybe, God is too jealous of River, so early Ended his glorious life; or, God is too lonely, and he needs River's company."
Johnny looked up at Hugo's words, looked at Hugo suspiciously, paused for a moment, then said, "Do you think he went to heaven?" River was smoking. No one would think he could be called by God when he died of an overdose.
Hugo has completely adapted to Western culture, but he always lacks this firm belief when it comes to religion. After hearing Johnny's words, he realized that the analogy he just made was directional, but Hugo still Nodding firmly, "He's an angel, isn't he? 'River. Phoenix', clear and meandering like a river, nirvana like a phoenix."
Hugo's explanation made everyone ponder, but Johnny's mouth was outlined with a faint smile, he looked at Hugo's amber eyes for a long time, "Hugo, I'm glad you can attend today's event. Premiere."
Although Johnny had said it once before, he repeated it again this time, but it was obviously more sincere, and he could feel the silent intimacy from his smile. Many times, meeting new friends is actually very simple, maybe just a smile, maybe just a word, maybe just a glass of wine, maybe this is the beginning of a friendship.
