Chapter 808 808 Contrast
Samuel is no stranger to Cannes. This Hollywood classic golden supporting actor is widely known in Europe for works such as "Jurassic Park", "Goodfellas" and "Patriot. Games", while He also won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival Main Competition for his "Jungle. Fever".
It can be said that the audience at Cannes is not only no stranger to Samuel, but also very familiar. Therefore, when the audience and European reporters saw Samuel, the whole attitude naturally changed. This was their familiar face. It was like seeing an old friend again, and their hospitality was instantly vented.
However, before screaming and cheering, the young man standing beside Samuel attracted the attention of the French audience. He was slender, with a jade-like face, sword-like eyebrows and star-shaped eyes. He was dressed in a black and white suit, which seemed ingenious, with white as the role. The background color, collar, cuffs, left breast pocket and other details are all decorated with black silk, with a pair of black trousers, a white shirt, and finally a black bow tie. attracted everyone's attention.
Hugo is unfamiliar to European audiences. At most, they know Hugo a little more than Uma. On the one hand, it is because of the credit of "Schindler's List", and on the other hand, because of the British Mishima highly respects the band Glory to Death, so Hugo is only a familiar level in Europe.
However, at the official press conference of "Pulp Fiction" before, Hugo paired linen casual beach pants with a lake blue shirt of the same material, and finally stepped on a pair of dark blue sailing shoes. It attracted the attention of the reporters, and the humorous, appropriate advance and retreat, and the gentleman's polite conversation also won countless good impressions from the reporters.
Many people already know that the male protagonist of "Pulp Fiction" is a handsome "new star" with outstanding temperament.
But Hugo, who appeared in front of everyone today, showed a completely different style. He wore a formal but playful suit, which completely outlined Hugo's elegant and sunny temperament. If it was a sunny boy at the previous press conference , then today is a refined man on the red carpet. This kind of similar but different temperament, mixed in Hugo's body, is fascinating.
More importantly, Hugo and Samuel stood side by side, the combination of one black and one white formed a sharp contrast, and the two combed their back neatly at the same time. The retro style of the 1930s is vivid on the paper. It's really a visual impact.
It has to be said that Hugo's first appearance in the European film market has far exceeded expectations.
As a result, there was a one-second blank at the scene. Everyone seemed to be stunned, frightened, and even surprised. The shock of screaming, shouting, cheering, and beating suddenly came like a huge wave.
Hugo has attended a lot of red carpets, but he has never encountered such a situation. He was still cheering for a second, but suddenly the cheering seemed to freeze, and there was a gap for a second, which made Hugo. He couldn't help but be stunned. He thought that something had happened, and that the timing of his appearance with Samuel had gone wrong; but the next second, the surging shouts mixed with flashing lights rushed towards him like a silver wave, instead. It made the heart freeze in an instant.
Samuel pressed Hugo with his elbow. When Hugo turned his head, he saw the serious and serious expression on Samuel's face, but the mouth shape said, "Release the seal."
One sentence immediately made Hugo laugh. The splendor on the corner of his mouth made the bright sun at two o'clock in the afternoon eclipsed. It seems to be the most beautiful melody in the world.
Hugo and Samuel stood there and paused for a while, and then Hugo took a step and walked along the red carpet, and at the same time, he did not forget to wave to the audience on both sides. This work is for Hugo. It's all too familiar. Although Hugo was still a rookie in Cannes, his charm was quickly reciprocated by romantic French enthusiasm, and the almost out-of-control screams at the scene were already quite Los Angeles-level - but obviously in Cannes, Samuel's popularity is still higher than that of Hugo. It is estimated that more than half of the crazy screams at the scene were caused by the warm smile on Samuel's face.
Hugo took only a few steps forward when he saw Uma standing on the red carpet.
Today, Uma is wearing a silver floor-length dress, similar to the simple and elegant design of ancient Greek sacrifices, which clearly outlines her classical temperament. At this time, she is standing in the middle of the red carpet, elegantly facing the audience on both sides. She waved her hand, but it gave people the illusion that she was isolated in the middle of the whole world, and that feeling of helplessness was almost impossible to hide from a smile.
Poor people must have something to hate. Hugo knew this very well, but at this time, when he saw Uma so isolated and helpless, it was inevitable that he was a little sad. Because Hugo has put down the past, there is no hatred, and naturally there is no tit for tat. However, Hugo is not a bad guy. He has neither the intention of getting into trouble, nor the idea of saving the other party.
Therefore, Hugo and Samuel also stepped forward calmly, and when they came to Uma, Hugo nodded to Uma with a polite smile, which was considered a courtesy to complete the scene. . Samuel only knew a little about the twists and turns inside the crew. He was not a gossip person, but he also knew where he stood, so he just showed a friendly smile to Uma, and then talked to Hugo. Move on.
Uma, who was on the red carpet first, watched Hugo and Samuel come to the front instead. Uma couldn't help but feel a little sad, but it was obviously not a good time to immerse herself in her thoughts, so Uma quickly adjusted and kept up with the pace of Hugo.
When the rest of the crew arrived on the red carpet, they all stood in front of the interview booth and stood in a row to be photographed by reporters.
Some details can be found from the positions of the actors. "Pulp Fiction" this time is not the classic poster of Uma Thurman smoking on the bed, but a brand new poster.
Uma was lying on the carpet with a confused expression, with a syringe thrown next to her right hand, as if she was inhaling. The poison overdose and he fell into a coma. Bruce was sitting beside Uma with a depressed face, his right hand was wrapped around the boxer's cloth, which was covered with blood; Hugo and Samuel stood beside him, Samuel With a bible in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand, Erin pointed in the direction of Bruce. Hugo leaned on the wall next to him, holding a cigarette in his right hand, with a distracted expression on his face.
The structure of the entire poster is very interesting, and it also has a subtle echo with the title of the work "Pulp Fiction", and also clearly presents the four protagonists of the film.
At this time, the actor was standing in front of the interview stage, but Hugo was standing in the middle, with Samuel and Bruce Willis on both sides, then Uma next to Bruce, and Quentin next to Samuel , and then Tim - Ross. This also causes the whole layout to look more like Samuel and Hugo as the core, and everyone else as a foil.
Of course, in the eyes of others, this is just the result of the actors standing at will while chatting, but the real insider knows that there is a great mystery here.
So, in the interview session, after a relatively official question in the early stage, an American reporter tried to dig out the breaking point, "Excuse me, did the crew cooperate well during the filming of 'Pulp Fiction'? Uma as the crew How about the most important part among the actresses, how about the cooperation with other male members of the crew? This is the same as Quentin's first work, it can be regarded as a men's movie, does Uma have any special feelings? ?"
On the surface, the reporter's questions were quite satisfactory, and they all revolved around the work. But that's exactly where his genius lies, because all the problems are really around Uma. If the crew is not careful, the truth may be revealed.
In the eyes of reporters, unless it is an endless hatred of life and death, they have no object they are unwilling to interview. As long as there are enough explosive points, they will do everything. For example, if Uma is willing to break the news about the "Pulp Fiction" crew scandal, reporters will definitely flock to it, it depends on whether Uma is willing to destroy herself, or whether Uma is willing to risk offending the whole "Pulp Fiction". "The danger to the crew blew itself up.
Quentin was very impulsive at first and wanted to refute, but remembering the explanation of the Weinstein brothers, he finally gave the reporter a stern look and handed the microphone to Hugo.
Due to the distance, Hugo didn't see what newspaper the reporter was from, but he wasn't surprised by such a problem, and it was even possible that it was arranged by Uma or her agent. "Actually, during the filming of the film, the cooperation between the crew and crew was not very pleasant." Hugo's answer immediately made many people on the scene take a deep breath. Even Quentin looked at Hugo in surprise, but looked at Hugo still smiled confidently, and then said, "Quentin gave us a lot of freedom to perform, he told us the feeling he wanted to present, and then let us explore by ourselves, so our actors are constantly in the process of cooperation. Trying, bumping and bumping, hoping to find the feeling that Quentin wants. As a result, often our actors are arguing a lot there, and Quentin is watching a good show next to him."
Hugo's words made everyone in the crew laugh, but Uma couldn't laugh, but Hugo continued to say, "It was really hard for Uma to participate in such a movie, and Oman So did Amanda Plummer," referring to the actor who played Bunny opposite Tim Roth. "Women have to give a lot more than us to work with Quentin as violent and bloody. Their efforts, so our crew has always been very grateful for their contributions. It’s a pity that only Uma was present as a representative this time, and Amanda and the others could only watch at home. We can only say one thing here, sorry ."
Hugo's answer instantly made the slightly tense atmosphere at the scene relaxed in an instant, and many reporters laughed heartily.
