Chapter 651

At this time two years ago, Hugo became a laughing stock because of the Golden Raspberry Award, and reporters acted recklessly; at this time a year ago, the Golden Globe Award incident broke out into an uproar, and the media denounced one after another; this time in 1994 , the debate and chaos still remained, but the reporters looked at the humble and polite Hugo in front of them, but they didn't dare to contain them, but instead obediently gave way, and then everyone just watched Hugo walk away calmly. , disappeared into the Hilton Hotel.

The reporters stood on the same ground and looked at each other. Although they were not red-faced, they were inevitably a little embarrassed and jerky, so they couldn't help avoiding their peers' eyes. Actors like Hugo appeared on the big screen for the first time at the age of fifteen. Although they were not child stars, they also grew up in the eyes of reporters. They watched Hugo grow and grow little by little. Mature, this feeling is very subtle, on the one hand, some sigh, on the other hand, a little embarrassed, and a little tangled, which is indescribable.

Hugo, regardless of the reporter behind him, walked straight into the hotel. The waiter immediately greeted him and led Hugo into the banquet hall politely.

At this time, the banquet hall was already full of guests, with staggered gauntlets, fragrant clothes, and people coming and going. It was very lively. Hugo saw many familiar faces at once. The partners during the shooting of "Schindler's List" were all Gathered together, and many extras who were looking for in Poland actually appeared, which made Hugo's memory immediately return to those days of sharing weal and woe.

When Steven Spielberg saw Hugo come in, he smiled apologetically to the guests beside him, then walked towards Hugo with a big smile, and gave Hugo a big hug." Just waiting for you, everyone is waiting for you, at least ten people just asked, 'why Hugo hasn't arrived yet', and now I can finally explain."

Hugo laughed. "I'd be very embarrassed if I'm late. But I don't remember the dinner time being early. I should have been on time."

"The most important hero of the crew, if he didn't arrive early, he was late." Steven's happy smile bloomed behind the beard without any cover.

Although Hugo knew this was a polite remark, he was still a little embarrassed, "Steven, are you complimenting me or humiliating me?" The most important hero? Hugo didn't dare to take credit, "I'm just a member of the crew, I don't think I have anything special. Even if there is a special person, it should be you."

"Your performance on the big screen is not humble at all, and you should learn and learn in life." Although Steven never said the words directly, he clearly knew the energy Hugo put into this movie. And hard work, Hugo not only did his duty as an actor, but also gave him the strength to continue to persevere. In Steven's mind, Hugo is indeed of special significance to the crew of "Schindler's List".

"Amon Goss? God bless, I saw a lot of members of the North American Jewish Association today." Hugo's eyes glanced around, as if he was a little timid, which made Steven laugh directly. out the sound.

Steven took two glasses of champagne from the waiter next to him and handed a glass to Hugo, "Green is here too, I must thank him later." Green-Hill urged Shi When Steven said, "This actor will never let you down", Steven still felt very embarrassed. In the end, it was only because of the friendship of his friends that he reluctantly met, but it was this meeting that made everyone feel terrified and sinking. Amon Goss.

"Super Al? I thought he didn't want to attend such a movie occasion." Hugo and Green are also good friends, not only because of "Schindler's List", but also because of glory to death , so he laughed more easily, "I should also toast him a glass of wine for a while, this is what he deserves." Hugo glanced around the banquet hall, and immediately saw Green, who was smiling like a duck to water. , Hehe laughed, "But I don't think now is the best time, I can wait."

Steven followed Hugo's line of sight and saw Green holding a glass of red wine talking to a beautiful and elegant young woman, Steven also showed a clear smile, "Yes, I You can wait." He looked back at Hugo, "Oh, by the way, you know, I only talked about you yesterday when I was chatting with Iger." Steven seemed to suddenly remember yesterday's interesting thing, and mentioned it casually. stand up.

Iger? This name popped into Hugo's mind, but he couldn't imagine that he knew anyone named "Iger", so he didn't speak, just listened to Steven continue, "He mentioned a movie called, Uh, the work of 'Future Water World', I think you are very suitable for this work. But I am not an authority on the future of science fiction, and I should talk to George in detail. "

"Future Water World"? Hugo was stunned. Isn't this the script that Universal Pictures handed him before. He remembered that he rejected it, and Joseph didn't mention it again after that.

It seems that Universal Pictures has not given up. It feels that there is no breakthrough in Joseph, so it mobilizes the great god Steven, then the "George" in his words is naturally George Lucas, as for Iger... Rain Guo vaguely remembered that there was a man named Edgar. Bronfman. Jr. in the company's top management, but he was not sure whether it was the "Iger" mentioned by Steven.

But no matter what, Universal Pictures actually valued Hugo so much. But if you think about it carefully, "Future Water World" invested 175 million US dollars, and Universal Pictures is justifiable for being so cautious.

"Joe mentioned it to me before, but I chose Quentin at that time, you know." Hugo didn't beat around the bush and said it honestly, but he didn't refuse directly, and still used a smile to resolve Steven's "chat" ".

Steven laughed, "Quentin is indeed a very good director. I heard that your performance in this collaboration has once again amazed many people." Steven is also an old fox. This reason is still very clear. He was able to mention "Future Water World" in front of Hugo, which was already a face for his old friends, so he did not discuss it further.

"Hehe, Quentin's black humor is always relaxing. Compared to acting, I enjoy the entire performance process more, so it's not amazing, at least I don't think it can surpass Amon Goss. Don't believe what the reporter said. Hugo's self-joking made Steven laugh too.

"I'm more willing to trust my own eyes." Steven pointed to his own eyes. One of the most important abilities in the entertainment industry is to identify the truth and falsehood of news reviews. Never be judged by reporters, film critics, music critics. Walking by the nose, "I heard that you also picked up another work at the same time?"

"Another work?" Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why don't I know." He thought about it carefully, he didn't sign any contracts for other works, and Joseph and Samora didn't mention other works either. Works too.

Steven didn't seem surprised, he just paused, then laughed, "It seems that Daryl can't wait to work with you," Steven glanced at Hugo, and then explained, "When we met for dinner, I occasionally mentioned the casting process of the work 'Life and Death'."

Darryl - F - Zanuck (Darryl. F. Zanuck), it seems that Steven is talking about the vice president and general manager of the film production department of Twentieth Century Fox. "Life and Death" is a work invested and produced by Twentieth Century Fox.

Hugo was stunned for a while, and then he burst into laughter, "Steven, how come I don't know when you started to care so much about the casting of movies?" Obviously, today Steven is watching in Universal Pictures and Twenty. In the face of Century Fox, he came to check Hugo's tone.

Needless to say about the relationship between Steven and Universal Pictures, "Jaws", "Alien E.T" and "Jurassic Park" are all their collaborative works, and Steven's personal friendship with the management is also It's all pretty good; but there's no well-known collaboration between Steven and Twentieth Century Fox, and here's the thing: Hollywood is really a very small circle, and connections can always form a cycle.

In the face of Hugo's answer, Steven was not surprised or struggling at all, just chuckled, "You know, that's how Hollywood works a lot of the time." This sentence is meaningful, Steven is It is implied that on the one hand, the network is established like this, on the other hand, the unspoken rules also occur in this way, and of course the reputation of the actors is spread in this way.

Hugo has achieved impressive achievements in four consecutive works, which is one of the reasons why Hugo is so popular today; but more importantly, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Meg Ryan, History Top big names like Steven Spielberg still praised Hugo after working with Hugo, which made a substantial change in Hugo's reputation in the circle.

Steven just mentioned the matter lightly, he believed that Hugo would understand what he meant, and then he changed the subject, "By the way, thank your agent for me, the recent things really have to thank him ."

"Joe?" Hugo didn't react all of a sudden, and the smile was stiff at the corner of his mouth. He didn't know what Joseph had done recently.

Steven didn't notice Hugo's deep meaning, he just thought that his words were too vague and Hugo didn't understand the meaning, so he nodded and explained directly, "Tracy thing. You know, this is This kind of gossip can never be banned in the circle, although I don't care at all, but a fly buzzing constantly in my ear is always annoying, Joseph really helped a lot."
