Chapter 595: 595
Uma watched Hugo and Samuel chatting and laughing, but her mood became more and more irritable. She couldn't understand the reason, but she knew that she couldn't calm down today. When Uma was discovered by Hugo, she didn't panic at all, and even calmed down quickly, but today, everything is calm, and according to her predetermined goals, her heart is not quiet. .
The irritability culminated in a brief question-and-answer session by reporters at the opening ceremony.
"Hugo, what are your thoughts on collaborating with Uma Thurman?" This question is expected by everyone, even if it is not raised by the gossip magazine "US Weekly", it may be raised by any other newspaper or magazine To come out, what's more, it was proposed by James Larter, a reporter who had a good personal relationship with Hugo, which obviously helped to ease the atmosphere.
Sure enough, Hugo smiled when he heard this question, "Why do people always care more about these gossip news than the movie itself? Quentin, it seems that we have to work harder. This is for the movie itself. It's not good news to say."
Hugo actually didn't answer the question directly, but made fun of it, causing the reporters to look at each other in dismay, and all the people in the "Pulp Fiction" crew who participated in the interview burst into laughter. Quentin was originally worried about Hugo's sudden attack, but when he saw Hugo's calm and relaxed smile, he realized that he had just been tricked! This caused Quentin to be stunned for a moment, and his usual eloquence was unable to say a word.
Seeing Quentin's astonished and depressed expression, Hugo smiled contentedly, and then he looked at the reporter and said, "About this issue, I was attending the premiere of 'A Different Sky' before. I talked about it, Uma and I will work together to complete this film cooperation, you know, although the investment in this film is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of many people, but for us, it is a very expensive investment, our entire crew will stick together to make sure every penny goes to the right place.”
Although Hugo answered the question head-on, he deftly diverted the essence of the topic and, incidentally, mocked critics who thought it was a huge mistake for him to take on "Pulp Fiction".
I have to say that Hugo has really grown up a lot now. Although he still hates reporters, he is completely at ease when facing reporters, and he speaks of these reporters one by one.
"Hugo, then you mean, do you think joining 'Pulp Fiction' is a right choice? Many people don't think it's a wise choice." A reporter immediately jumped out and couldn't wait to ask, This reporter from the "New York Post" thought he asked the question very cleverly, and pushed all the problems to Hugo at once, but he did not notice the expressions of hatred on the faces of a group of experienced reporters next to him.
Hugo couldn't be happier at this time, because the reporter successfully entered his trap and shifted the topic to the work itself, which was his purpose, "Huh, Quentin, do I need to leave this question to you to answer? It really hurts." Hugo also frowned and made an expression of pain, the subtext was that the reporter's question was actually hurting Quentin, and he had no confidence in the script of "Pulp Fiction".
Quentin, the ruffian, had just eaten the flattened, so naturally he was not in a good mood, so he directly raised his middle finger at Hugo. This middle finger seemed to be raised at Hugo, but it was not an answer to the reporter.
Hugo laughed and turned to look at the reporter from The New York Post. If Hugo remembers correctly, the New York Post and the National Enquirer are the kind of people who are embarrassed. , and the two media were very disliked by Hugo, so Hugo did not intend to be merciful, "You said 'many people' just now, can you list them? I mean, who are they? People? Reporters? Editor-in-chief? Other directors? Other producers? Say a name and listen to it."
Hugo's series of words made the reporter choked. He originally wanted to say Amond Camby of the New York Times, but Hugo didn't give him a chance to answer at all, and threw a series of questions. When he came out, the reporter was blinded.
After Hugo finished his question, he gave the reporter two seconds, but didn't hear any answer - as expected, he shrugged, "I know that film critics and reporters always want to express their opinions, it is theirs Work, I can understand. But I think, any work needs to wait for the release to make judgments, right? I am a very open-minded person and accept any criticism and praise, because I want to keep making progress, so, these I read the reviews carefully. However, to conclude on a film before it is released is, I think, unprofessional.”
Hugo's answer always carried a kind of sunshine and gentleman's politeness, but there was a needle hidden in the thread. The tone of irony, ridicule and contempt needed to be tasted carefully, which made it impossible for reporters to find an accurate answer. It was really frustrating for reporters to attack.
The reporter still remembers the inability to parry before the Golden Globes incident, which allowed Anthony Bond Stewart to succeed, but now that a year has not passed, Hugo seems to have been reborn, leaving the reporter almost no parry.
"Quentin is a very good director. He has proven himself in the 'reservoir dogs', so I think I have reason to have more expectations for him." Hugo then entered a reporter interview again The old-fashioned link in: The etymology of praise is endless.
At this moment, the reporter from the "New York Post" realized that he had been completely dragged into the Hugo rhythm, and what was even more terrible was that he had not realized it until now. This feels really bad!
Although the "New York Post" was stunned, it was clear that there were still sober reporters. After Hugo finished his routine praise, a reporter in the crowd raised his hand. Hugo glanced at it and saw that It was Nicholas McKellen of the Los Angeles Times, and now Nicholas McKellen and James Larter are Hugo's most familiar and friendly reporters, so Hugo nodded, indicating that he could ask questions.
"Hugo, are you and Uma still friends now? Or, let's go one step further, and you've started dating again?" Nicholas looked at Hugo with a serious look, but there was a hint of banter in his eyes.
Hugo immediately caught the mischievous look of Nicholas, and rolled his eyes involuntarily, Nicholas obviously did it on purpose. This question made Uma's originally frustrated mood suddenly light up. She glanced at Hugo calmly, obviously looking forward to Hugo's answer; but for Hugo, he didn't have much feeling, It's just an ordinary question.
Humans are such strange creatures, but when there are emotions such as love or hate in the mind, all emotions will become violent, so people always say that hate is actually because love is too deep. But when this strong emotion is gone, the emotion will naturally become simpler, as if you will be strong again because of India. evil. Sigh and grieve at the case, but it will not be unforgettable, because it is just a stranger, it is not part of your life.
At this time, Hugo had a little bit of this feeling. Although Uma is not a complete stranger, after all, so many complicated things have happened in the past year, but Hugo does not have violent emotions because of Uma's related problems. Ups and downs, Uma at this time was nothing special to him.
So Hugo didn't get angry or react violently to Nicholas' banter. He just grinned and said, "Yes, we are friends, but not on a date. We just want to work together to make this movie a success." , Hugo looked at Uma and motioned for Uma to answer.
In Hugo's view, Uma is the calm and rational person. When they broke up, Uma could handle things so calmly or even ruthlessly, and now there is no problem for Uma. That's why Hugo uses the subject "we" to answer the question - he thinks he and Uma have reached an agreement.
But at this time, the stormy waves in Uma's heart could not be calmed down at all. She noticed Hugo's calmness, which was as if they had nothing to do with each other. There was no love or hatred. Although it was said that if Hugo hated her at this time, it would make Uma even more difficult to handle, and it would be difficult for the two to continue their cooperation; but now Hugo treats her as a stranger. The situation made her irritable, restless, apprehensive, and depressed.
Although her heart is very complicated, Uma is still rational enough, so she pulled the corner of her mouth and drew a perfect arc, "Of course, Hugo and I are friends now, and we all hope to have a good performance in the movie. , maybe there will be some sparks - if the director wants it."
Uma's answer was also very decent, and she also hinted at some possibilities in the last sentence. Obviously, she hoped that the reporter could interpret her words.
Of course, the reporter would not ignore such an obvious hint, and the next question immediately followed, "You had some unpleasantness with Hugo before, don't you worry when you shoot the scene that needs sparks again?"
Hearing this question, Uma glanced at Hugo, but found that Hugo didn't care at all, but whispered to Samuel who was standing next to him, which made Uma's inner irritability worse, but she still Must brace up to deal with reporters.
Compared to Hugo, Uma's interview was obviously much easier—or rather, Uma was willing to cooperate, and she hoped to get help from reporters, which made the reporters breathe a sigh of relief. Today's opening ceremony was finally done. News can be written.
But the problem is that there is not much news worth digging about in Uma at all, and Hugo, who is standing by and chatting with Samuel at this time, seems to be a gold mine, shining with charming light, so that reporters know Hugo clearly It was difficult to deal with, and he had to bite the bullet and attack Hugo again.
