804 Chapter 804

Looking at Quentin's tangled face, Hugo originally wanted to play a prank. He thought about it in his mind, should he throw the juice directly on the ground, or should he turn away indignantly, but Aware of the worry in Quentin's eyes, Hugo still softened his heart. He knew that Quentin was still worried about himself, so he just showed a shallow smile, "I see."

Quentin looked at Hugo's light-hearted expression, but was stunned. He thought he didn't say it clearly, or that Hugo didn't hear it clearly, so he paused and then said, "Hugo , I mean, Uma Thurman has come to Cannes and is staying at the Martinez. Hotel."

Hugo was immediately delighted by Quentin's strange expression, but he held back his smile and raised his eyebrows, "So?" Quentin was speechless and didn't know how to deal with it. , "Did she ask us to participate in the propaganda together?"

"No, of course not! How dare she!" Quentin's reaction was very intense, and he raised his voice and said, causing everyone in the living room to look over, Quentin waved his hand quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. "When I turned around, I saw the unbearable smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth, and I immediately understood, and I laughed helplessly.

This is a society governed by the rule of law, and this is a circle where interests are paramount, so although Uma and Hugo are at a standoff, and her relationship with the "Pulp Fiction" crew has also fallen into a freezing point, and she is temporarily refrigerated by the production company, But none of this changes the fact that she is the heroine of "Pulp Fiction".

Uma would come to Cannes, which was completely expected, just think about it: now "Pulp Fiction" is the last straw for Uma, and she will definitely seize it at all costs, Not to mention that this time is an opportunity to be on the Cannes stage, which is the focus of the world's attention. If she can gain favor here, perhaps her predicament in Hollywood can be completely changed.

And it is conceivable that not only Cannes, but also Uma will definitely participate in the publicity activities of "Pulp Fiction" in the United States. Even if she doesn't show up on her own initiative, there will definitely be media inciting the flames to interview her, and then try to dig out some explosive points.

Even the Weinstein brothers couldn't completely ban Uma during the promotion of "Pulp Fiction". After all, this is a society of free speech. If they make Uma hard, Uma will not care about making up some things. , even if they are all lies, they have a very strong lethality to "Pulp Fiction".

Therefore, to make Uma "completely disappear", this is basically an impossible task.

Hugo is not an ignorant rookie who has just entered the society. Naturally, he does not have such simple and naive thoughts, but now Hugo has no special feeling for Uma, just like a stranger. History, without love, naturally there is no hate. In Hugo's view, Quentin's concerns were unnecessary because he didn't care.

But Quentin's temper is very straightforward, and he dares to love and hate. He is very unaccustomed to Uma's actions at the beginning, and it can be said that he hates it deeply. That's why he was worried that Uma's appearance would cause trouble to Hugo, because it had already troubled him, "Don't worry, even if she shows up, what she can do is very limited, it's best for her to keep herself safe, if she has anything If she thinks otherwise, she will be wrong, and I will never let her succeed."

In fact, an actor offended the crew, and the crew has many means to make the actor suffer in silence. For example, when the director is being interviewed, he deliberately does not mention the actor. Even if a reporter asks, he will mention it in one go, and then focus on praising another actor. In this way, the focus of the report will naturally be tilted.

For another example, when the crew is on a TV show, the host's questions and the allocation of shots are very particular. It is not difficult at all to make an actor "disappear" in the show without knowing it.

For example, when propaganda across the United States, big cities such as Los Angeles and New York are allocated to the actors who are highly praised, and the actor who offends the crew goes to the platforms in the sparsely populated cities in the Midwest, and there will be a lot of coverage at that time. big difference.

There are also occasions like the Cannes Film Festival. Since the media are intensively interviewed, personal connections are very important. Some actors may have hundreds of reporters gathered in front of them at the same time, and the interviews cannot be completed 24 hours a day; The actors of the interview may only be routine interviews, and there will be no space after the official questions.

This means of making someone "invisible" is not the news industry or the people in the entertainment industry, so they can't detect it at all. When all audiences receive information, they only feel that a certain feature or a certain actor is being continuously concentrated and amplified, and other people will naturally become affiliated, not even worth mentioning. This also gave birth to the word "power support", which means that all public relations resources and media resources are tilted towards an artist and focus on publicity.

So, in fact, in the entertainment industry, artists, staff, and media are all dependent on and restrained from each other. Neither party dares to offend the other two easily. Everyone knows the principle of "harmony makes money". In a pinch, everyone will not tear their faces. But small actions in the dark are enough to change a lot of things.

If Quentin, Hugo, and the Weinstein brothers had any intention of embarrassing Uma, even if Uma came to Cannes, people would have the illusion that she was not there at all, not to mention that it is 1994, and online news is nowhere to be seen. In the 1990s, relatively speaking, the information was blocked and lagged, and the difficulty of behind-the-scenes manipulation was greatly reduced.

But Hugo didn't have such paranoid and radical ideas. He didn't want to ruin his good mood because of an Uma, and he didn't want to deliberately spend his time because of an Uma. For this kind of past, to pay attention to it is to weigh the other party. Because whether it is positive news or negative news, attention is attention; on the contrary, it is the best way to leave it behind and let it fend for itself.

Looking at the depressed Quentin, Hugo laughed and patted Quentin on the shoulder, "People who don't know thought she put a cuckold on you."

Quentin didn't even think about it, he just punched Hugo on the shoulder, "I don't think it makes any difference." The pain of betrayal of trust is sometimes more terrifying than cheating, for those who value trust.

Quentin was so angry because he too was betrayed by Uma. In fact, Quentin has always been very optimistic about Uma. He even regarded Uma as his goddess. He can see a steady stream of inspiration in Uma; but Uma not only slandered Hugo, but also pursued him behind his back. Richard's help. For Quentin, brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, friendship and loyalty are his consistent insistence, so Uma's behavior is naturally intolerable.

Quentin's ruthless expression pleased Hugo, he didn't say anything more, he laughed and walked towards the living room.

With Quentin vaccinated, it was no surprise to see Uma approaching when Hugo showed up on the beach the next day.

Due to the constant adjustment of the jet lag, Hugo slept intermittently. He couldn't sleep in the afternoon. He changed into a pair of beach shorts and a straw hat, walked all the way out of the apartment building, and walked along the palm tree-lined street to the pure white On the beach of , I found a group of young people who were playing volleyball and joined them directly.

Hugo saw Uma after a successful smash. Uma was wearing a sky blue vest and denim hot pants, showing her graceful figure. When she walked over, her eyes were always locked on Hugo. It was clear that it was for Hugo.

Hugo looked left and right, and he didn't seem to see the reporter's figure, which means that his incident on the beach was not exposed, but Uma was able to find him accurately. If all this is a coincidence, Hugo Certainly not believe, he is not so naive.

It's just that Uma came to the door at this time, whether it was for reconciliation or to make news, Hugo didn't know, and he didn't want to know. So, when the opposing team brought the volleyball back and was about to serve, Hugo withdrew his attention and threw himself into the sport again, with no intention of "recognizing" Uma at all.

Uma's footsteps stagnated for a moment. Her sight had clearly been in contact with Hugo, but there was only one explanation for why Hugo didn't seem to see her: that is, Hugo definitely didn't want to pay attention to her. Thinking of this, Uma felt a little guilty, but she made up her mind long before she set off from Los Angeles, didn't she? This is her only chance, if she misses it, she doesn't know when she will be able to appear again.

Hugo actually won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and now it is even more powerful in the United States. This is a situation that Uma did not expect before, so whether she is regretful or guilty or any other emotion, she knows it , she must seize this opportunity of Hugo - it is best to be able to reconcile, and breaking the boat is also a choice, she must seize the opportunity of "Pulp Fiction" to make a last-ditch effort.

Therefore, Hugo's cold reception was completely expected. Uma just paused for a moment, then took another step forward and walked towards the beach.

Uma stood not far away, showing the most natural and brightest smile, "Hey, Hugo, you are here too."

"Bang... bang... oh yeah!" Her response was the sound of Hugo and his teammates celebrating on the beach volleyball court. Hugo just successfully blocked the net and scored a point, and everyone was very excited.

The beach volleyball that Hugo and the others played was not formal. There were four players in each team on the venue, so the scene was very lively. Uma's voice was immediately drowned out, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she stood there. She hesitated, or decided to stand in place and wait, the game always ends, doesn't it?
