Chapter 821 821

When Hugo appeared on the red carpet, the reporter was interviewing Kazuo Ishiguro, and Nicholas McKellen saw Hugo sharply. He had already been informed that Hugo would attend the premiere of "Money Empire" today, so he has been He also kept his eyes open and waited for Hugo to appear.

Originally, Nicholas wanted to rush over to ask if Hugo really planned to leave Cannes tomorrow and not attend the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, but before he even started, Nicholas noticed Kazuo Ishiguro who was a step away from him. As soon as he turned around, he stretched out his voice recorder and asked loudly, "Mr. Ishiguro, what do you think of the 'Pulp Fiction' that has become a hot topic of discussion these two days?"

Kazuo Ishiguro seems a little surprised by this question, because today is the premiere of "Money Empire", and it seems that it is not so polite to mention another movie - obviously Kazuo Ishiguro does not understand the only goal of the reporters: For the sake of breaking point, reporters are willing to do anything. This is the core interest of entertainment reporters.

Due to the accident in his heart, Kazuo Ishiguro's expression suddenly became a little stiff, he coughed twice, "This is a very good film, but personally, I don't often appreciate works like this, so I have no way to judge, and I thought maybe I should talk to other people more."

Kazuo Ishiguro thought that he was being polite and dealt with it, but Nicholas didn't intend to let him go. He saw Hugo approaching from the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask again, "So, what do you mean? In other words, you can't read 'Pulp Fiction'?"

Reporters always have the ability to understand and read the other party's answer in their own way, and Nicholas is no exception. Although Nicholas and Hugo got along very happily in the past two years, no one will forget that Nicholas and Hugo were tit-for-tat at first, and this is also an important reason why Nicholas can become a top reporter: his keenness and interpretation are outstanding.

Kazuo Ishiguro was stunned for a while. He was surprised again. He was obviously not someone who often dealt with reporters like Hugo. It was not until Nicholas repeated his question for the second time that Kazuo Ishiguro reacted.

"Uh... No, I won't say that." Kazuo Ishiguro tried to find the exact word, but he was caught off guard by the reporter, but it was difficult to respond in time, and in the end he didn't know what he said. What, "Actually, from my personal aesthetic point of view, I don't like the work of 'Pulp Fiction', it's just a pure gangster movie, full of violence, blood, except for some retro memories , I don't think this movie has any deep meaning, let alone what's wonderful about this movie. In fact, I think it's a very boring movie, and it's hard for me to remember it after watching it What the hell is the movie about?"

Kazuo Ishiguro continued to speak at the same rhythm as before, but his brain's response was a little sluggish. Sometimes people will have such a situation: the words are the first to respond before the brain, and after they finish speaking, they realize what they have said or done just now under the impulse, and sometimes they can't even react. What does your own words or actions represent? At this time, Kazuo Ishiguro was in this state.

"But the professional film critics in the past two days thought it was a very wonderful film, and they interpreted many details of the film." Nicholas was also keenly aware of Kazuo Ishiguro's state, and a slyness flashed in his eyes. In fact, most people in the entertainment industry don't know how to deal with the relationship with reporters, so there are professional public relations companies that appear, like Hugo. But not always. Therefore, Nicholas did not give Kazuo Ishiguro a chance to breathe, and then continued to ask, "Or, as a writer, you don't know much about the expression of movies?"

"No, I don't think so." Kazuo Ishiguro had been led away by Nicholas at this time, and unknowingly expressed his truest thoughts, "The only impression I have left of this movie is the countless nonsense, The ramble goes on and on, and the movie doesn't have an accurate theme, it's just a bunch of violent, pointless stitching, so I don't think it's that good, it's just a boring piece of self-stitching by movie lovers."

After Kazuo Ishiguro finished speaking, his brain finally reacted and kept up with the speed of the words, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but then he also convinced himself that everyone has the right to express their own opinions, What's more, this is a film festival, which originally allows for the existence of diverse viewpoints, which calms Kazuo Ishiguro.

However, Kazuo Ishiguro originally wanted to say something like "This is just my personal opinion" to ease the atmosphere, but found that the eyes of the reporters in front of him were all focused behind him, and many reporters had a smile on their faces. With a kind of gloating about watching a good show, Kazuo Ishiguro suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Kazuo Ishiguro turned his head and saw Hugo's gentle smile, "God!" This kind of mourning reverberated in Kazuo Ishiguro's mind. It's not a big deal to speak ill of others or criticize others behind their backs. , the point is that the other party was at the scene and was caught, which is too embarrassing. Kazuo Ishiguro felt that he wanted to find a hole to burrow into.

Hugo saw the smug smile on Nicholas's face at a glance, which made him a little dumbfounded. Hearing others say bad things about his work in front of him, this was the first time Hugo had faced such a thing, and it felt very strange. It's more of a funny feeling than anger.

In fact, it is like when those film critics criticize a certain work in the newspapers, which makes the actors and directors feel sad, even angry, and want to settle the account with the film critics in a fit of rage-some people even do this, and directly wave Fist towards each other; but this face-to-face reprimand will still embarrass both sides, and even the politeness in face seems to be unable to maintain.

Kazuo Ishiguro, this person is very unfamiliar to Hugo, but he should not be unfamiliar, because he is the original author of the novel adapted from the movie "Farewell to the Love of Love". He was born in Japan, but went to the United Kingdom at the age of five. As the three heroes of British immigrant literature, his literary attainments are indeed admirable. The original work "The Day Will Come to an End" of "Farewell to the Lovely Heaven" can be regarded as his pinnacle work.

It is precisely because of this that Kazuo Ishiguro was invited to be a member of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival. This is also the style of Cannes. Not only film professionals, but also judges from all walks of life can become part of the jury. member. That's why Kazuo Ishiguro attended today's premiere of "Money Empire", so Nicholas couldn't shy away from asking his opinion on "Pulp Fiction"—because he's a judge, and it's his job to critique entries.

Although Kazuo Ishiguro and Hugo have never met, it is indeed difficult for Kazuo Ishiguro to have a good impression of Hugo. It is not because "Farewell to Love" was defeated by "Schindler's List", it was all from the movie. There is no direct connection with him as the author; it is because of the unfair competition after the release of "Farewell to the Love of Love", which not only loses the reputation of the film crew, but also humiliates the original author. Therefore, although Kazuo Ishiguro and Hugo have no hatred, it is difficult for him to say that he "likes" Hugo.

Now, Kazuo Ishiguro's criticism of "Pulp Fiction" was caught on the spot by Hugo, which immediately made the reporters excited, and Nicholas was obviously looking forward to Hugo's reaction. In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Hugo.

Hugo didn't want to come over, he could just pretend he didn't hear it and leave to avoid embarrassing Kazuo Ishiguro. After all, Kazuo Ishiguro is a judge and he has the right to express his views on "Pulp Fiction". Hugo Then there is no right to force the other party to like the movie "Pulp Fiction".

But the reporters swept their attention, but Hugo couldn't ignore it. He could only smile, took two steps in the direction of Kazuo Ishiguro, stopped in front of the reporter, and then pretended to be angry. Said, "It seems like I heard my husband say that 'Pulp Fiction' is boring, which is unforgivable, even if you can say that 'Pulp Fiction' is not good-looking, meaningless, or even bad, I don't think it is a It's a boring movie. It seems that the dark humor in it is not understood by everyone, which is a pity."

On the surface, Hugo's pretentious words seemed to be joking, but Kazuo Ishiguro didn't know how to answer, because Hugo was satirizing the dark humor that he couldn't understand the movie - this was a fact, It made him unable to refute at all.

However, when the reporters heard Hugo's innocuous answer, they all showed expressions of disappointment. It seemed that Hugo would not show his flaws easily now, and it was an old-fashioned scene, which was really boring.

However, Nicholas did not give up easily. He noticed the joking in Hugo's amber eyes, and Nicholas couldn't help but get excited: Hugo seemed innocent and harmless on the surface, but if he believed in this, he would definitely is a fool.

Sure enough, Hugo went on to say with a big smile, "Mr. Kazuo Ishiguro is a great writer, and the brilliance he has created in the field of literature is indeed eye-catching. During my university studies, I also read 'The Day Will End'. The literary value is indeed admirable, but the excellence of Mr. Kazuo Ishiguro's books cannot be understood by everyone. Only by sinking your heart and reading slowly can you taste the deep meaning, so I always like to read again and again, drinking a cup of hot tea, bathing in the sun, and enjoying the beauty.”

Hugo was clearly praising Kazuo Ishiguro, but when Nicholas looked at Hugo's bright smile, he almost couldn't help it and wanted to laugh out loud.
