Chapter 774 Chapter 774
Every recording of "The Tonight Show" is a very pleasant experience. Hugo and Jay Leno have a very good tacit understanding, and Hugo is a person who doesn't mind self-deprecating, which is a good thing for a talk show very important. Therefore, Jie also very much welcomes Hugo to appear in the "Tonight Show", not to mention the pulling effect of Hugo's personal charm on the ratings, the most important thing is that the sparks between the two can always win the audience. favorite.
After the recording was over, Jie came to the waiting room and thanked Hugo again, "How about it? It must be a busy schedule recently, right? I think those reporters wish you could dissect it and analyze it."
Jie's ridicule made Hugo laugh out loud. After the Oscars ended every year, the winners received countless attention, not just a golden statue. There were countless interviews from the news media, and Hugo even heard about it. There have been winners of the Golden Man who have been interviewed for a month after the award ceremony - interviews from all over the world. Of course, in addition to the interviews, there are also the covers and inner pages of various newspapers and magazines. Interviews, and then TV and radio talk shows like The Tonight Show.
It was as if the world revolved around the winners.
In fact, the same is true for Hugo. After Oscar ended, the interview invitations drowned him in an instant like a flood from a dam. Not only Joseph, but even Henry received numerous calls. Those schedules can be directly scheduled from the end of March to April. In the middle of the year, this was also an unprecedented grand occasion after Hugo crossed.
Hugo was obviously surprised. Hollywood would always have surprises and surprises one after another. He was still worried about how hard and terrible it would be to finish so many interviews. He didn't know what to say until the end of the interview. He just repeated those testimonials over and over again... Hugo immediately understood why so many artists had become mechanical conditioned reflexes when they were interviewed - really Because there are too many interviews and the questions are the same.
However, after the conversation with Ernst, Hugo's mood settled down. He finally understood why many winners of the Golden Man would lose themselves after the awards ceremony. This has nothing to do with personal cultivation. There are so many connections that it is difficult for even a saint to face such a situation.
After the Oscars, as if the whole world revolves around the winner, it will create a kind of winner that is the sun, and the entire earth's revolution and rotation are like this. This kind of strong presence often makes people overwhelmed, because most people who enter the entertainment industry dream of such a day, and only a very small number of people exist for the sake of art, so this kind of frenzy Bombing makes it difficult for people to stick to their hearts and eventually get lost.
What's more, Hollywood has always been a circle where interests come first. Even if the artists can control it, their managers will not miss such a great opportunity, and they will definitely seize the golden opportunity like a golden person to make a fortune.
Hugo originally wanted to be involved in this wave of publicity frenzy, because this is almost an unavoidable occasion, and this is the best way to ease the relationship between artists and reporters.
If you don't give reporters face at such a festive time, it will be difficult for future reporters to say good things, unless the artist has the ability to speak with absolute strength like Marlon Brando or Woody Allen - even Malone, Woody and so on People are also plagued by reporters. Don't you see the schadenfreude of the reporters after the scandal at Woody's house last year, and even the local reporters in New York can't wait to get down.
Therefore, Hugo planned to attend all of them to cooperate one by one, but when he thought of the conversation with Ernst and the song "Shape. Of. My. Heart", Hugo felt that the whole person was quiet. When he came down, he looked rather disillusioned. If the price of growth is to forget himself in time and blur himself in the society, then Hugo would rather choose not to grow, perhaps because of fear, perhaps to escape, but perhaps to insist, perhaps to be stubborn.
Regarding Hugo's decision, Joseph was hesitant to say anything, but in the end he didn't say much. He chose to support Hugo's decision, but Henry said, "If you want to be self-willed, this is the only time", sighing endlessly. In the Hollywood circle, when popularity peaks, bad things can be described as good things; but conversely, when things fall, good things are portrayed as bad things. Now Hugo is in a golden age of peak popularity. Even if he rejects Oscar's promotion, it's not a big problem, it's just suffering Joseph and Henry.
Hugo also knows that his every move is now under the spotlight, and all actions will be magnified or even studied under the microscope, not to mention that he represents not only himself, but also "Xin Xin". Deller's List" crew, even Steven Spielberg needs to cooperate, how can Hugo be self-willed?
After a deep sigh, Hugo accepted the invitation to "The Tonight Show", which was his only TV show; , US Weekly and a handful of newspapers and magazines, as well as several local California dailies and entertainment magazines.
Should this be compromise or growth?
Life is a gradual process of compromise. When I was young, I was on a rampage, and then from a certain day, I slowly learned to conform to the expectations of the elders, the norms of society and the pressure of life. people. Many people call this process maturity and growth, but in fact this is just losing the most important battle in life.
Hugo wanted to try to surrender as late as possible, hold out a little longer, and stay a little longer.
"They want to be beautiful, but I won't let them succeed." Hugo smiled and gave Jie a hug, and said calmly.
"I forgot, it's not so easy for those reporters to please you in front of you." Jie smiled and winked at Hugo, "Although I know that there should be countless parties that you have been invited to recently, Meiwei Let me ask you if we have the honor to invite you to dinner."
Hugo was quite surprised when he looked at Jie with a sincere smile in front of him.
Jay has not been in the talk show business for a long time. He only became a substitute host in 1987, but he was able to replace Johnny Carson to take over the "Tonight Show" in just five years. You can see his ability. , You know, he won this position after defeating a number of strong opponents such as David Letterman and Conan O'Brien.
After taking over "The Tonight Show", Jay stayed in this position until July 2009, after which "The Tonight Show" was taken over by Conan O'Brien, and Jay started his own show "Jay Leno" The. Jay. Leno. Show". It is a pity that the ratings after Conan took over were not satisfactory, so less than six months later, NBC TV brought Jay back to sit on "The Tonight Show".
It can be seen from this that Jay's ability is very outstanding. Among the top talk show hosts in 2014, Jay Leno has always been regarded as a top member, and is known as the beginning of an era of his own. He officially bid farewell on February 6, 2014, marking the end of his 22-year domination of American TV talk show entertainment. In more than 20 years, he has experienced the competition of the same period and the impact of rising stars, and he is still standing, and he has always been the top and most popular talk show host.
In addition to his abilities, Jie's connections are second to none, and he has deep roots in the circle. Jay is of Italian descent living in New York. Although the influence of Italian descendants is not comparable to the pervasiveness of Jews, it is also an important part of the high-level forces in the United States, and its influence is everywhere.
Before today, when Jie and Hugo talked, they were more than friendly but not enthusiastic. In fact, they were more familiar than ordinary friends, but today Jie took the initiative to send an invitation!
Mavis is Jie's wife, and the two have a very good relationship. They got married in 1980 and supported Hugo until Hugo's time-travel. The two were DINKists, so they never had children. The husband and wife have been together for more than 30 years. Years of married life, it can be said that Mavis witnessed the rise and glory of Jie, and also accompanied Jie through the hard years of serious illness in 2009.
Jie not only sent an invitation today, but also in the name of his husband and wife. The subtext is that this is not a workplace, but a family gathering between friends. This is definitely a very important step.
Recently, Hugo has vaguely felt the goodwill from the Jews, and now he has received the friendly hand of the Italian descendants. The small circle of Hollywood has been divided into countless special small circles, and these circles The planning of the human connections and branches between them is like a big tree in the sky. The connection between the branches and the branches is intricate, and unless you are in it, you can't identify it clearly. Until today, this tree in the sky has only outlined the most real tip of the iceberg in front of Hugo.
What "Schindler's List" has brought to Hugo is actually just the beginning.
"Dinner, of course there is no problem." The thoughts in Hugo's mind were fleeting, and he answered enthusiastically, "It's just that you bring your wife, so what will I do as a bachelor?"
Hearing Hugo's light-hearted teasing, Jie also laughed, "You can try to imagine a character, and then attract a female companion to have dinner together." This is the story that Hugo told during the recording of the show just now. Come to joke, "However, I think breaking the arm should not be a good choice at this moment."
Hugo couldn't help laughing, "You broke my confidence. I thought it would be a good idea, but now I'm at a loss." This also made Jie directly laugh out loud.
