Chapter 632
Quentin walked towards the group of reporters not far away, and looked at Hugo who was standing beside him with a calm face. Quentin became more and more unable to calm down. Thinking of Hugo's ridicule, Quentin couldn't help laughing again. It still hasn't dissipated, but there is no previous impulse.
The reporters looked at the smiling Quentin and the innocent Hugo, and suddenly there were countless question marks on their heads: What's going on? Although Uma didn't have pear blossoms and rain just now, her red swollen eyes and the scenes of complacency all implied that she was treated unfairly in the crew, so what happened to Quentin and Hugo who were still in the mood to joke ?
gloat? It's impossible, even if the crew really gloated about it, it wouldn't be so straightforward. Quentin is a bit possible, but it's definitely impossible for the Hugo guy. Hugo! As long as they think of Hugo, the reporters immediately become vigilant. In the past month, reporters have suffered from Hugo's losses. Since the release of "Schindler's List", whether directly or indirectly, reporters have been in front of Hugo. It has been deflated several times, which is really not a good sign.
Could it be that Hugo is planning something today? Thinking of this, the reporters couldn't help but start to look at each other. The original feeling of watching the joke became hesitant. This also led to Quentin and Hugo coming to everyone, but no reporter asked any questions. Everyone seemed to be Looking forward to someone willing to come forward to be cannon fodder.
Quentin and Hugo stood in front of the group of reporters, and saw that none of the reporters who were still eager to speak was spoken. Just now, the reporters were eager to rush out and rush to interview as soon as possible; now everyone is silent. , which is really weird. Quentin gave Hugo a puzzled look, Hugo pouted and shrugged helplessly, obviously he didn't know what happened.
"So, is anyone willing to ask questions?" Hugo had to start asking questions first, breaking the inexplicable silence. The reporters found that Hugo's eyes were projected over, and they all turned their heads in one direction. Then more than two dozen reporters focused their attention on one reporter, including Hugo and Quentin.
When Hugo saw the reporter, a smile appeared on his face, "Hey, Mr. Bond, long time no see."
Anthony Bond Stewart was annoyed when he stood in the group of reporters. He left Los Angeles to spend the new year in a small town with a population of less than 1,000 people. On the first day of the new year, Michael Jackson and Evan Chandler decided The news of an out-of-court reconciliation was the most jubilant news he had heard recently, but he still did not act rashly, and stayed in the town for a few days, looking at the wind outside, the wave of "witch trials" finally subsided. , while the New York Post and the National Enquirer are also active again.
Because of Michael's out-of-court reconciliation, people believe that there must be something tricky in this, but Chandler and his son also decided to reconcile, which seems to be in line with what Michael said before "they are all for money" In line with, and in the position of protecting "victim minors", all discussions have begun to rebound, which has also given the "New York Post" and "National Enquirer" a chance to breathe again.
After thinking about it, Anthony quietly returned to Los Angeles. Although he had suffered enough this time, paparazzi was still his favorite job. He did not want to give up, and he was afraid that he would have to take revenge during this time. Only, this time, not only Hugo, but also Ron Mayer and Tracy Jacobs, Anthony must let them know the iron law of "never offend reporters".
Hollywood is never short of news, and this truth has been proven once again. Anthony was tipped off the next day when he returned to Los Angeles, and then filmed evidence that Uma Thurman and "Pulp Fiction" producer Richard N. Gladstein entered the hotel together for two hours. Make Anthony confident, and while he's not sure what news he can dig up and whether it will hit Hugo, he absolutely believes it's a big news that can put him back on track.
However, when Hugo's words "Mr. Bond" sounded, when all the reporters focused their attention on himself, Anthony felt a flinch, as if the nightmare had come again, and he had no way to be like before. Facing Hugo calmly and slyly. Originally "Mr. Bond" was his proudest title, but now it is full of countless ironies, which made Anthony feel very aggrieved.
Anthony recalled his experience of being forced by his peers to flee Los Angeles in a hurry, which made him shudder. Although he wanted to take revenge on Hugo, he also knew that he had to be careful, and he must not show any clues. . Therefore, facing the "framing" of all other colleagues at this time, Anthony tried hard to force himself to calm down, and kept telling himself in his heart: "Don't make mistakes, don't make mistakes", but when he saw Hugo's warm smile, Anthony couldn't help but think It's a terrible feeling to look away.
Anthony cheered himself up secretly, but his eyes turned towards Quentin after all, "Quentin, uh, someone took a photo of Uma and Richard going to the hotel last night, and the two opened a room, And then spent more than 120 minutes in there, and some people say that's why Uma got the 'Pulp Fiction' performance, what do you think?"
"****." Quentin didn't even think about it, and a foul word came out, "Of course it's impossible, 'Pulp Fiction' is just a small-budget movie with an investment of 8 million, and I It's not a well-known director, it's so difficult for us to find actors, and it's even better if an actor takes the initiative to send it to the door, how could there be such absurd things as you said?"
Quentin's words made the reporters look at each other in dismay, because what Quentin said was the truth. Quentin used the news that the media had repeatedly looked down on the "Pulp Fiction" crew to counter Anthony's question, which immediately left the reporters speechless.
Anthony was unwilling to give up, and then asked, "Then what were Uma and Richard doing in the hotel last night?"
"This question should be more appropriate for you to ask the client?" Quentin pouted and retorted disdainfully.
"Uma said she and Richard were discussing the script, but aren't you responsible for the script?" Anthony replied quickly, hoping to use his usual fast pace to achieve his goals.
But Quentin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He widened his eyes, "Richard is the producer, isn't he? Isn't it normal for Uma to discuss the script with him?" Having said this, Quentin turned to look at Hugo With a glance, he said with a smile, "Just like Hugo and I, we often discuss plots, and Hugo helped me a lot."
Mentioning Hugo, all the reporters turned their attention to Hugo, but only Anthony, who looked at Hugo with a covert out of the corner of his eyes, and then found that Hugo was looking at him with a half-smile, which made Anthony Suddenly startled, he quickly lowered his eyes. Anthony couldn't help but feel annoyed: Why didn't he realize that Hugo was such a powerful character before?
In fact, Hugo wasn't watching Anthony at all. He wasn't hungry and had nothing to do, but Anthony had a guilty conscience. Hugo's attention was now on Quentin's words, "Yes, Quentin and I do often discuss on set. The plot, which is very important for filming. I think Uma is a very dedicated actor, and he still studies the script carefully outside of working hours. This is an act that the crew must commend, isn't it?"
Hugo's remarks sounded like a lot of praise for Uma, but the deep meaning in the words is worth exploring: Hugo and Quentin only discussed the script when they were working on the crew, and Uma left the crew and production. Did Richard discuss the plot? This is definitely meaningful. But just from the literal meaning of Hugo's words, it is impossible to see these things, which makes the reporters at the scene have different expressions, obviously everyone is savoring it carefully.
"Hugo, there were rumors that you and Uma were about to get back together, so what do you think about what happened last night?" This time, it wasn't Anthony who spoke. Because of the beginning of Anthony, other reporters also became active. It's obvious that this topic is the focus of everyone's attention - which is why everyone asked to interview Quentin and Hugo.
Hugo smiled politely, "As I said before, Uma and I are friends, but only friends, we all have our own lives."
This is another polite scene, but the meaning is obvious, obviously to put aside the so-called compound rumors. On the one hand, Hugo did not admit that there was a reunion, and on the other hand, Uma and Richard entered the hotel to be alone for two hours, regardless of whether there was an unspoken rule, but at least the reunion between Hugo and Uma should be There is no hope.
"Quentin, then you can tell me, what is the reason for you to choose Uma to be the heroine of this work?" The reporter's question also seemed to have something to say. The subtext was to say: You know rain If there is no hope of reconciliation with Uma, you still choose Uma. If this is not Richard's unspoken rule, what is the reason?
Quentin glanced at Hugo and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. This question was really expected by Hugo, and the smile at the corner of Quentin's mouth rose. "I think it should be said that Hollywood's choice."
This sentence carries a bit of ridicule. In fact, if it is understood positively, it can be understood that Uma stands out from Hollywood by relying on strength; but if it is understood negatively, it can also be understood as an unspoken rule. It's definitely a pun, and it's very meaningful.
On the surface, it is a polite remark, but it has done enough. Quentin couldn't help but glance at Hugo again. Hugo's answer was really meaningful. It turns out that polite Mandarin can also be so deep, and Quentin learned it for the first time. When the reporter asked Hugo the same question, Hugo's answer made Quentin shine again.
"Hehe, I know it's not my choice."
