Chapter 98 098 First Premiere
"Still nervous?" Joseph looked at Hugo who was adjusting his breathing and couldn't help but feel a little amused, "This is not your first movie, why are you so nervous?" Hugo has been restless for the past two weeks. In this state, Charlize even ridiculed it as "menstrual period is coming", which made Joseph find it very interesting.
"This is my first movie!" Hugo wanted to say, but he couldn't, so he let out a long sigh, "If you've been through the fiasco of the last movie, and you haven't gotten it for eight months in a row Any job, and you get yourself into a whole lot of trouble, then you can get a sense of how I'm feeling right now."
The smile at the corner of Joseph's mouth has subsided. He has accompanied Hugo to experience it for more than a year. No one knows what Hugo has experienced better than him. And, for the past six months, Hugo has successfully quit drugs. Addiction, the withdrawal reaction has completely disappeared, watching Hugo walk step by step, Joseph knows how difficult Hugo is.
"Sorry." Joseph couldn't ignore Hugo's emotions and apologized in a low voice.
Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth and revealed a dry smile, "It's unnecessary. If you have the energy, please join me in praying for the success of the movie." Although Hugo thought that he had won the opportunity again after crossing the road, the mule It's a horse, we'll find out after taking it out today and yo yo. This time, it's not just the crew members who are in charge of the judgment, but also hundreds of viewers, as well as the critical film critics who are extremely difficult to serve.
Seeing Hugo's smile, Joseph also relaxed. He raised his right hand and crossed his index and middle fingers, indicating that he had already started praying, which made Hugo chuckle.
The leased black sedan stopped at the beginning of the red carpet in front of the Fox Theater. The side door was opened by the security guard in charge of maintaining order. Hugo took one last deep breath and stepped out of the car. Although this is the second time that Hugo has come to the Fox Theater for the premiere, the mentality and atmosphere today are very different from "The Final Analysis" half a year ago.
Only when his feet stepped on the red carpet, Hugo felt that the bright red on the ground was like a fiery flame wrapping the soles of his feet, and then slowly rose up, the sound of his heartbeat pounding on the eardrum, making Hugo feel The blood all over his body began to speed up, and the temples and the tendons behind his back suddenly tensed.
Hugo raised his head and looked at the crowd on both sides in front of him. There were not many, about a hundred people, but these people looked at Hugo with anticipation and longing in their eyes. His eyes made the dark night light up in an instant. Hugo was determined at this time: this is the premiere of his own movie! Not someone else's, the protagonist is himself! The nervousness melted and disintegrated in the hot light, Hugo's mouth raised a big arc, and the smile bloomed like this.
"Hugo! Look here!", "Hey, hey, Hugo-Lancaster!", "Here, here, here...", "Smile, give me a smile", "Come here, come here!"… …The reporters stood on the left side of the red carpet, constantly raising their voices, trying to attract Hugo’s attention in various ways, and even some people kept raising their hands and jumping in place, hoping to make the Hugo looked into their lens to capture the most appropriate photo.
"Hugo! I love you!", "Hugo, you are the best", "You are really outstanding"... Although there are not many fans gathered, the screams and shouts are not loud, use It would be more accurate to describe it as a noisy sound, but at least, these people came to the scene for Hugo. No matter what Hugo's current situation is, no matter whether their support for Hugo is because of appearance or acting, they can. It is exceptionally rare to show his support during the Hugo trough.
At this time, Joseph has also walked down. Today is the premiere of Hugo's own film, so Joseph also has the qualification to walk the red carpet. Joseph is not a public figure, so his mentality is obviously much more peaceful. Seeing that Hugo has been standing in the same place, Joseph patted Hugo on the shoulder, making Hugo come back to his senses.
After hesitating for a while, Hugo walked towards the fans on the right. He stretched out his right hand a little jerky and hesitant. The young people standing in the front immediately stretched out their hands and grabbed it firmly. Hugo's right hand, that warm palm temperature makes Hugo feel so real.
"Hugo, trust me, you will succeed, you will! You are the best." The little girl standing at the center was only five feet four inches (one meter sixty-two) tall and looked very petite. , everyone around seemed to surround her in the center, and they would drown her at any time. But she stubbornly straightened her waist, stood on tiptoe, and told Hugo her firmness with those vibrant eyes.
Hugo's eyes couldn't help but stay on the girl, because her firmness reminded him of Alex. Before leaving today, Alex used such firm eyes to bless Hugo. He was even more than Hugo's. more confident in themselves.
"Thank you." Hugo not only did not withdraw his right hand, but took half a step forward. Fortunately, he is not a top superstar at the moment, otherwise fans from all over the world will swarm. Hugo's action did not cause too much So many chain reactions, even Hugo was able to raise a question, "What's your name?"
"Meredith. Molins." The little girl was immediately excited by Hugo's question, shouting her name excitedly, and the sharp voice appeared in the surrounding noise. Somewhat abrupt. But Hugo couldn't help but laugh.
Although Hugo knew that the other party would support him, not because of his efforts, but because of his predecessor, which is the same as Alex, but it feels really good to know that there are people in this world who support him so much. it is good. So Hugo leaned forward and gave Meredith a hug, "I hope you like the movie."
Meredith's body stiffened in an instant, she could even see Hugo's handsome face approaching her little by little, breathing in the smell of the minty shower gel on Hugo's body, making Meredith His heartbeat froze for a moment. When she came back to her senses, Hugo had already turned away and walked towards the reporters. Meredith was a little ecstatic looking at Hugo's slender figure.
Today, Hugo did not choose a formal dress, but a casual dress of a young man, a large blue, red and purple checkered shirt, black straight jeans, the trousers were rolled up, revealing the blue lining inside, and the shoes were A pair of bright blue low-top espadrilles and a bright grey casual suit at the end.
Such Hugo does not have any sense of distance, just like a young man who may appear on the street at any time, but his handsome face and bright smile make Hugo full of sunshine, and no one wants to Look away from Hugo. The broad shoulders match the perfectly curved chest, and the slender and powerful legs adorn his well-proportioned figure. Whether he is standing or walking, he has elegant and independent lines, and does not need any other accessories to assist him, just like a statue. A perfect sculpture, he is like a magnet that easily brings all eyes to him.
Meredith shook hands, and the temperature of Hugo's palm still remained in his palm, which was warm and made his heart beat like a deer.
"Hugo, what do you want to say about the shooting experience of this movie?" Standing in front of the reporter's microphone, Hugo was being interviewed. Such well-established topics are still relatively common, especially when there is no news from Hugo recently, and the reporters are also relatively honest.
"I must say it was a very pleasant and amazing experience, working with Martin went very well, and playing against Al, you know, I learned a lot. I wish I had the opportunity to continue working with them. "Hugo is telling the truth, and this is also the real feeling during the filming of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", but in the ears of the reporters, this is just a polite official scene, and there is not much information worth studying.
"Then what is your outlook for the future of the film? This is the first work you have performed since you won the Golden Raspberry Award. Is there a lot of pressure on your shoulders?" This question is a bit sharp. a trap. If Hugo doesn't answer well, it's a dissatisfaction with the previous "Hudson Eagles" crew, which may lead to a potential war of words.
But Hugo, a rookie, didn't think so much, he just answered it for granted, "I'm very nervous and stressed, after all, I don't know if I can represent the audience, I like this movie, so I hope Audiences also want. Going into a movie theater and enjoying the process of watching a movie.”
Hugo's answer was not a rule, but he didn't fall into the trap either. The reporters were willing to dig out a little more information, but unfortunately, the interview on the red carpet was too brief. Soon Hugo was dragged away by Joseph. into the Fox Theater.
In fact, the premiere of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" was not official. Although the ceremony was held at the Fox Theater, since the film was only screened in 20 theaters in the first week, the scale of the film was not large. The ceremony is more like a ceremony than a propaganda effect. After going through this ceremony, the audience who arrived at the scene and were fortunate enough to enter the movie theater for the first time began to enter the theater one after another.
Al, who was approaching, gave Hugo a hug directly, and said with a smile on his face, "I've heard what Jack said, and he did a great job."
Hugo laughed heartily, and his expression also seemed very happy. Although "Yihai Xiongfeng" has been completed for several months, the joy of breaking through in acting has not completely disappeared. "I have been working hard all the time."
"Don't worry, after our movie is released, everyone will see your performance." Al said with certainty, but Hugo laughed, "Al, you are the one!" "Women" can be said to be the big stage for Al's acting skills to explode, and the focus will naturally not be on Hugo.
In the face of Hugo's compliment, Al did not refuse, but accepted this statement with a laugh.
The movie is about to kick off. Compared with the version of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" in Hugo's memory, what about this version with Hugo joining the show?
