Chapter 748 Chapter 748
Hugo was answering questions from reporters, he had to lean forward slightly to hear Nicholas McClen's question, and he had to raise his voice as much as possible, because the red carpet noise was only a little bit. After stagnating, it immediately rose again, especially in the area directly in front of Hugo. Those hoarse expressions kept hitting Hugo's line of sight. Even if he focused on the reporter, he was still a little distracted. Out of the corner of your eyes, you will always see the boiling crowd.
Sure enough, the level of Oscar is still different, whether it is the scale or the lineup, including the atmosphere of the scene, there is always that kind of exciting spark factor.
Hugo thought about answering one more question, and he was about to leave. The questions on the red carpet were hard to come up with. Coupled with the noise coming from all directions, the interview process could be called a torment.
At this moment, a strong impact came from behind him. Hugo only felt that a heavy object suddenly pressed down on his back. The warm body temperature and strong muscles showed that he was a man, and then Hugo felt There was a warm breath behind the ear, and there was a chirping smile, "Hey, Hugo!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Hugo knew who was coming, which made him very helpless, "Leo!"
At this time, it was Leonardo DiCaprio who was holding Hugo tightly, and he said to Hugo's left ear with a smile on his face, "Sweetheart, you actually recognized my voice, really It moved me, and I was about to melt."
Hugo was also immediately amused by Leonardo's words. He looked down and hugged his limbs tightly. Leonardo hung on his body like a koala, and said helplessly, " I can't think of anyone else who would do this except you."
Leonardo was not only not shy, but laughed brightly, then jumped down from Hugo's back and hit Hugo's shoulder with his shoulder. The gentleman seemed out of place, and this kind of youthful invincibility quickly swept in, "I thought you would appear in the second half, but I didn't expect to see you so early."
The reporters standing in front of Hugo were completely stunned. This was the Oscars red carpet, not an entertainment-filled occasion like the Golden Globes or the MTV Movie Awards. You know, the reporters attending the Oscars have to wear formal clothes to show the harsh style of the Academy, so everyone will be more or less serious when they appear at the Oscars, not to mention Leonardo and Hugo. The scene of direct slapstick is enough to make everyone dislocate their jaws.
Hugo didn't think so much. He saw that Leonardo was in a very happy mood. Instead, he left the reporters aside and chatted with his friends cheerfully, "Come here earlier to meet my friends, no Is it good? I'll see you now."
"Hugo, Leonardo, hey, the two of you..." Nicholas was already very helpless, and the two of them actually started to catch up with each other, ignoring all the reporters directly. This is... so frustrating , so he had to use a shout to draw the attention of the two people back, "You two are not only good friends, you also collaborated on a work together not long ago, and tonight you have become direct competitors again, you two What do you think will happen tonight?"
Hugo and Leonardo were nominated in the Best Supporting Actor section together, which also became a big highlight of the night. On the one hand, the two are good friends recently discovered by the media. Although the media has not been able to dig out the reason why the two know each other, Hugo is in the film industry, Leonardo is in the TV industry and just switched to movies, and the two There is also some age gap, and the acquaintance of the two has also caused a lot of discussion.
On the other hand, it is the age of the two people. Leonard was nominated for heavyweight at the age of 19 for many years, and completely suppressed the already famous Johnny Depp in "Different Sky", which was widely praised by the media. He is a rising star; and Hugo is 27 years old this year. Although he is not as young as Leonardo, it is still a very young number for the Oscar's acting awards.
You know, the other three candidates for Best Supporting Actor this year, Tommy Lee Jones is 47 years old this year, John Malkovich is 41 years old this year, and Pete Postlethwaite is 48 years old.
This also makes the supporting actor part form a situation of confrontation between the old and the new. Of course, the veterans currently have an absolute advantage, especially in the supporting actor department that likes to reward old actors, the three forty-year-old uncles are obviously the winners. Popular.
Under such circumstances, Hugo and Leonardo met on the red carpet again, which really made reporters look forward to it.
Hearing the question, Leonardo couldn't wait to say loudly, "It's the first time we've been nominated, so just enjoy the process." Hugo looked at Leonardo in surprise, but he didn't expect that he would actually be nominated. I would also say this kind of polite remarks, but I don't want Leonardo to go on to say, "Of course, if Hugo can win the award, I will definitely be happier."
Hugo suddenly had three black lines on his forehead, and the muzzle turned towards himself.
"What about you? If you won the prize?" Nicholas immediately caught the follow-up in Leonardo's words, and then asked.
Leonardo patted Hugo on the shoulder and laughed, "That's my luck. However, as far as acting is concerned, I support Hugo to win the award, and I swear to Jesus, after watching Hugo in' Schindler's List' performance, and for a long time dared not look him in the eye."
In the face of Leonardo's straightforwardness, Hugo also laughed dumbly. He couldn't guess at this time, whether Leonardo was deliberately pranking or was inexperienced in such a big scene to tell the truth, but Hugo naturally He didn't know what to do, so he didn't say anything, just raised his hands, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand overlapped vainly, and then looked around sparsely, constantly wiping his nose with his right hand.
This simple and vivid gesture and expression quickly made the reporters burst into laughter and burst into laughter.
Leonardo didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he turned his head, he saw what Hugo looked like: This is an imitation of Leonardo's performance in "A Different Sky", I have to say that Hugo The performances are very similar.
This suddenly made Leonardo laugh and cry. He originally wanted to make fun of Hugo, but he ended up going around himself. "Hey, you, I wasn't acting like this at the time, okay?"
Hugo stopped the action, "Did I say I'm imitating you?" A retort immediately made Leonardo's green face flush slightly, causing Hugo to laugh triumphantly. stand up.
The reporters watched the two good friends talk and laugh and turned and left, and then they remembered: the interview has not yet completed the task!
Adam Lancaster sat behind the counter of the convenience store, lit a cigarette in his hand, flipped through the latest issue of the "Los Angeles Times" on the counter, squinted slightly at the black print on the newspaper, on the shelf behind him. There was a rustling sound from the radio, and the voice of the radio host was vaguely heard.
Suddenly the door of the convenience store was pushed open, Adam didn't lift his head, he was still sitting in his seat, Jack Taylor's gong rang impatiently, "It's starting, it's starting..." Jack hurried He walked into the store and looked around, but saw that the TV in the corner was still turned off, he immediately became anxious, "The Oscars have already started, have you forgotten? Hugo is going to attend today. Yes, I heard them say that Hugo has a good chance of winning."
Jack walked over and snatched the newspaper from Adam's hand. He frowned and complained, "You are still in the mood to read the newspaper, don't you want to watch the live broadcast at all?"
Adam reluctantly looked at Jack, and retorted in a loud voice, "It's not up to me to decide whether to win the award or not. I think so much about what to do. It's boring to not watch that kind of awards ceremony."
When Jack was blocked by Adam, he was immediately very depressed. In fact, they had never paid attention to any Oscars before, and they didn't even have so many opportunities to go to the cinema. "Isn't it just because of Hugo..." But Jack's words Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Adam meaningfully. This look made Adam really uncomfortable, and he could only avoid his eyes in embarrassment.
"Now on the red carpet is director Robert Altman, who was nominated for Best Director again this year for 'Intersection of Life', his fourth nomination and his second in a row after last year. Nominated in 2018..."
The sound from the radio on the shelf rang out loudly, stopping Jack's voice and keeping Adam out of sight.
Adam coughed twice, "Now the radio is playing this, there are no other programs..."
Jack looked at the cigarette in Adam's hand, the long ash did not shake, as if it would fall at any time, showing that although Adam lit the cigarette, he still hadn't smoked it for a long time. Obviously, Adam had just been distracted for a long time. Jack knew his old friend well, and he understood Adam's mood right away.
Jack didn't embarrass his old friend anymore, but walked over to the TV and turned on the power, "I want to watch, I want to see Hugo's performance, so you can watch it with me, how about it?" ABC TV, the ongoing red carpet live broadcast at this time appeared on the screen.
Adam sat on the spot, muttering vaguely, "You can go home and watch."
Jack turned his head suspiciously and asked, "What did you say?"
"No, nothing." Adam shook his head again and again and stood up a little embarrassedly, "I'm talking about what's so good about this kind of thing, isn't it just a bunch of people I don't know walking around on it, it's boring Very." Then after a pause, he looked around blankly, "Beer, do you want it?"
Jack laughed secretly, but he concealed his expression well and nodded towards Adam, "How about we order the fried chicken over again?"
