Chapter 826: 826
When Hugo arrived at Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport, it was already 5:30 local time.
The closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival will kick off at 8 o'clock, and the red carpet will officially start at 6 o'clock, so Hugo's time is very tight, but even so, there is still a large crowd at the exit of Cote d'Azur Airport. A pile of reporters, looking up at the dense crowd rambling.
Seeing Hugo come out, all the reporters rushed up. Samora and Joseph had long been prepared for such a situation. If the protection is in the middle, chop the waves all the way, and walk straight forward.
The reporters pointed their cameras at Hugo and kept pressing the flashlight. They kept shouting, "Hugo, do you think you will win the award?", "What do you expect from tonight", "Palm d'Or?" Who do you think will take it?"... These questions poured down like a summer rainstorm, and among them were a few questions like "Do you have a secret lover in Europe?" People can't laugh or cry.
The Cannes Film Festival entered the last day, and all the enthusiasm has reached the highest point. The reporters are simply uncompromising in order to break the news. Even if there are two people, Joseph and Samora, plus Hugo, they are also caught by the turbulent reporter in front of them. The group was tightly surrounded, and in the end, with the help of the airport security, the three talents successfully walked out of the surrounding circle, and then, under the crowdedness, got into the car sent by Harvey Weinstein and walked away.
Originally thought that after leaving the airport, it would be easy to get down, but Hugo forgot that there was not much time before the red carpet of the closing ceremony, that is to say, all the artists who should be there have arrived. Now, then, journalists should also rush back to Cannes for live interviews.
So, soon, the reporter's vehicle came out just like you chased me. The spectacular scene really opened Hugo's eyes. I used to see the tension and excitement of the paparazzi chasing the artist's car on TV, but now it's my turn, and I feel quite novel.
Fortunately, the reporters all knew Hugo's destination, and they didn't need to press hard. The whole scene seemed lively but basically kept an orderly situation. Still, the motorway from Nice to Cannes witnesses a spectacular scene.
It is only twenty miles from Nice to Cannes, and it can be reached by car in half an hour. However, since today is the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, the road to the Film Palace is still a bit crowded. Hugo and the others spent forty-five minutes. Arrived in Cannes.
After entering the small town, Hugo couldn't just rush to the Movie Palace. He had to go to the hotel to change his clothes first. When passing by the Movie Palace, he could see through the car window that the red carpet had already opened. There were many artists. They all stood on the red carpet to be photographed by reporters and cheered by fans.
There were some traffic jams near Pipondou Square. Some reporters who were standing under the stairs of the Cinema Palace filming the red carpet footage saw Hugo sitting in the car. Hugo has already arrived at the Movie Palace, why didn't he get off the car, instead he continued in the direction of departure? This picture is really too weird, and when Hugo's car leaves, they still haven't figured out why.
However, there were many cars and stars in Pipondou Square, and Hugo achieved the photo of the car flying away, but it caused a lot of discussion the next day, and it became a very interesting scene at the 47th Cannes Film Festival. .
Hugo arrived at the Martinez Hotel, and Harvey, who had already waited until his hair was turning gray, rushed up and gave Hugo a hug excitedly, which made Hugo quite dumbfounded, "Isn't Quentin the protagonist today? , it doesn't matter if I'm a little late."
Harvey wanted to explain, but Bob Weinstein, who was standing next to him, said, "Go wash up first, it's too late."
After watching Hugo leave, Bob explained to Joseph, "In the past two days, the discussion about our movie has become more and more heated, and there have been more and more discussions about Hugo and Uma, so Hugo attended the red carpet. It's important to our crew, and he better know what weird questions those reporters on the red carpet are going to ask."
Joseph understood immediately. In fact, they had discussed it in the car from Nice just now. The reason why the reporters were so excited was definitely not only because of the Palme d'Or, but the most likely reason was "Pulp Fiction". Tian received a lot of praise at the film festival. Of course, Uma is also an uncertain factor. He looked at Bob, "What did Uma say?"
The answer was Harvey, "She didn't say anything. She has been very quiet these two days. In interviews, she just answered some questions about the movie. She stayed here more to find opportunities."
In fact, the entire crew of "Pulp Fiction" left Cannes. Harvey, Bob, and Quentin all came from Paris, while Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Ross, and Bruce Willis have all taken aboard. The previous flight was back to Los Angeles. Only Uma remained in Cannes.
However, it is clear that the Weinstein brothers are now more cautious about Uma, especially in the case of Hugo and Quentin's strong rise accompanied by a wave of praise, it is not difficult for them to make a choice. So they also inquired about Uma's situation in the past two days.
Hearing Harvey's answer, Joseph nodded slightly, so it seems that the discussion about Hugo and Uma is the normal situation after the popularity of "Pulp Fiction", which is also the expected result, and there is no need to panic.
Since Hugo arrived in a hurry, all preparations were very cumbersome, so Quentin and the Weinstein brothers took the lead to go to the Cinema Palace at 6:30. Hugo stayed in the hotel and continued to prepare. He officially set off in minutes, and by the time he arrived at the Movie Palace, it was already 7:30-the traffic jam on the road was very serious.
There was only a quarter of an hour left until the end of the red carpet.
When Hugo appeared on the red carpet, the cheers from the scene immediately poured into the mountains. This situation was even fiercer than at the premiere of "Pulp Fiction". It was clearly felt that the Cannes audience saw Hugo. excitement and enthusiasm. Crazy screams spread wildly in the warm sea breeze of the Riviera, the piercing and uncontrollable shouts tore apart the strength of the sea breeze, piercing the twilight that was a little bit red in the sky, like the blood red of the sunset. , the flames were roaring in the entire blue sky, and the entire red carpet scene was pushed to a climax in an instant, unexpectedly.
Not to mention the movie fans, even the reporters could hardly control their excitement, they stood in the front row one by one, trying to record Hugo's figure as soon as possible, and even trying to be able to know from Hugo's mouth that "vulgarity" Fiction" is just a few words about why it was called back.
You must know that the highest voices of the Palme d'Or so far are still "Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy" and "Queen Margot", and even the latter's momentum has come from behind, and it has somewhat overtaken the former's posture, but now " Pulp Fiction" crew was also called back, and the situation became unclear.
Of course, in the eyes of French journalists, they would rather Hugo take the best actor and then give the Palme d'Or to "Queen Margot", which is what they like to hear. But this is Cannes, where you never know what to expect until the awards are announced. So, reporters can only hope to see if Hugo can reveal something.
So, the red carpet set off a frenzy before it was about to end.
Although Hugo rushed over in a hurry along the way, there was inevitably a bit of exhaustion between his eyebrows - last night at the Nürburgring, he didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the morning. But even so, in the face of such a noisy situation on the red carpet, Hugo still handled it with ease.
"Hugo, do you think you have a chance of winning the award tonight?" a reporter with a strong French accent roared, surrounded by eyes gleaming with hope, looking like a pack of wolves , which made Hugo burst into laughter.
"I think compared to the awards, I have enjoyed so many excellent works in Cannes this year, and this is the biggest gain." Hugo's Tai Chi skills have gradually matured, and he has solved the problem with one move.
But obviously, the French journalists who had infinite hopes for "Queen Margot" were unwilling to surrender, and then asked, "What is your most impressive work?"
"'Red', I must say that I am very impressed with this work. Personally, I like 'Red' the most out of the 'Blue, White and Red Trilogy', and it will be released in the future. When the cinema is officially released, I think I will go to the cinema again." Hugo said, and he could clearly see the undisguised disappointment expressions of many reporters in front of him, which immediately made Hugo happy.
In the United States, you always have to be careful when facing reporters. Those reporters are like hyenas, they will never let go after they bite their prey; but these French reporters in front of them, perhaps because of the special occasion of Cannes, they always look forward to The undisguised emotion of someone who can praise the host and the work of the host is really cute-compared to the profession of a journalist.
"Of course there is also 'Queen Margot'." Hugo's voice has not yet fallen, and he can clearly see the overjoyed expressions of the reporters in front of him, which is really interesting, "Isabel Adjani is something I personally appreciate very much. One of the actresses, her every move in the film is so amazing, I am very impressed."
The group of reporters in front of them were immediately overjoyed by Hugo's words, even if it was just a polite remark, they accepted it readily, and immediately some reporters shouted, "Hugo, I wish you good luck tonight, I hope you can have a satisfactory one. result."
Hugo didn't hide anything, he chuckled lightly, the fatigue of the journey was relieved a lot, "Thank you for your blessing." After speaking, he raised his right hand, the middle finger and the index finger overlapped, making a prayer Gestures, shown to the reporters, this playful gesture also made the reporters chuckle.
