Chapter 991
The crew of "Before Sunrise" finished and returned, but Hugo did not accompany him, and Joseph and Samora also came back directly. So, where did Hugo go?
This is a question that almost the entire Los Angeles news media is wondering. Some reporters even contacted their European counterparts to try to inquire about Hugo's whereabouts in Vienna. Recording a person's whereabouts is not an easy task. After tossing around for a week, I still found nothing.
It was as if Hugo had disappeared from Vienna, as if honored to the death of the other four players.
In this regard, reporters interviewed Rick Rosen, Henry Bloom, Joseph Gibbs, Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, the crew of "Before Sunrise"... The answer is all of the same caliber: vacation. Hugo is on vacation.
As Hugo's manager, Joseph explained in a little more detail, "After Hugo finished shooting the film, he felt that he was in Europe just now, and he didn't have a job, so he planned to take a vacation for a while. So he set foot on the road alone. journey."
Saying it in detail is actually the same as not saying it. In the final analysis, it is the same sentence: vacation.
Hugo didn't even say hello, which made more than 100 reporters jump for nothing, like a monkey show in a circus. They were all angry, "Grass! What kind of explanation is this! The entire American media is waiting for a positive response from Hugo, he actually went on vacation! What is this? Don't you take the news media seriously? This is also It's ridiculous, it's too big!"
It is a pity that this kind of remarks did not lead to a wider discussion, because everyone knows that the reporters were entertaining themselves from the beginning to the end of the 20 million salary. Hugo has never made a positive response. They reported "Rick Said", "Joseph Said", but never "Hugo Said". Therefore, the reporters are just hot on their own, and Hugo doesn't care at all. Naturally, there is no such thing as Hugo's "don't take the media seriously".
Moreover, even if the media reporters are furious, what can they do? They also know well that this time things will be so lively, the behind-the-scenes promotion of Universal Pictures and MGM Pictures is the most important reason, Hugo can only be regarded as one part, and now things have developed into two films In the early stage of the film's publicity battle, Hugo is not the focus.
It's just that the reporters were deflated in front of Hugo again, which made them a little indignant: it was a terrible feeling.
For the paparazzi, the name "Hugo" is even more of a disgrace, and they've had seven days, twenty-four hours against Hugo since Hugo and Cameron officially appeared hand-in-hand at the premiere of "Geezes in Disguise" 24/7 surveillance, but with little success, first Cameron during the movie promotion period, then Glory to Death during the album promotion period, and then the shooting of "Before Sunrise", and now Hugo simply disappeared.
The paparazzi barely caught any of Hugo's pigtails, let alone the news, even the news was scarce. In the past, when the paparazzi could not communicate with each other, they would report trivial matters, such as which restaurant an actor went to for dinner today, and what dishes were ordered; for example, where an actor went shopping today and what he bought; I met with some friends, and we talked very happily... Although these things lacked the breaking point, they at least broke the news.
Crushingly, even these trivialities are few and far between. This made the paparazzi almost grit their teeth at Hugo, and this frustration was the ultimate challenge to the paparazzi's ability.
Not Hugo's original intention, Hugo has now become the ultimate goal of all paparazzi in the short term, for example, who knows where Hugo is now? Who knows when Hugo will return to Los Angeles? As long as the paparazzi get this news, it is bound to be the most important news in the past month.
In an instant, all the paparazzi were active.
Hugo was completely unaware of such a situation, how could he possibly have known that one of his vacations had caused such widespread follow-up effects. The phrase "people are popular right and wrong" is really suitable for Hugo at this time.
After the filming of "Before Sunrise" was completed, Hugo felt a big rock in his chest slowly fall. For him, the filming process of this film, like Jesse, was like a roller coaster journey, from strangeness to acquaintance, and then again. To fall in love, but then face separation, and finally return to reality.
After all of this, although Hugo has made up his mind to return to reality from the movie, he still needs a little time to organize his thoughts, so instead of returning to Los Angeles with Charlize, he chooses to backpack in Europe and let Relax completely.
Backpacking Europe, that's what Jesse was doing before meeting Selena, and it's what Hugo always wanted to do. For creators, life experience is always the best source of inspiration. It is impossible to create creations in one corner forever. The breadth of knowledge determines the height of thought, and the height of thought determines the depth of creation. This is inevitable of.
In the past, Hugo and the band were always on the road. He almost traveled all over the country, and even performed in some remote towns in the west. Walking on the road has become a normal part of life. Tossing, but it gave Hugo a new understanding of creation.
Now, Hugo's life and career have made great progress, and the day-to-day work will gradually wear away his passion and inspiration, so he needs to go out from time to time to see and appreciate a different life. The shroud of the spotlight is beautiful, but the dazzling light often confuses the line of sight, making people unable to see themselves and the reality clearly. Occasionally, it is very important for creators to get rid of the shackles of the spotlight and find their true colors.
Therefore, this time to relax in Europe is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be an opportunity for Hugo to relax from the intense work in the past few months.
Hugo's trip has no purpose, even he himself does not know where to stop next, how can the paparazzi find him?
Bergen (Bergen), located in the southwestern part of Norway, has lush rolling mountains, clear winding rivers, and beautiful ancient castles. R. R. Tolkien's (J.R.R.Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" world's beautiful hometown of elves. As Norway's second largest city, Bergen is famous all over the world. The city is located on a steep fjord line. The steep fjords here make Bergen a bright pearl on the Nordic continent.
Songna Fjord is known as the longest and deepest fjord in the world, known as the crown of the fjords. It is located in Bergen. Every year, countless tourists carry their luggage. They come from all over the world. A city of 350,000 people, experience the wonders created by nature.
Hugo is one of those backpackers.
The sun at seven o'clock in the morning is not hot, and it lazily penetrates the sparse clouds in the sky and casts down, and then passes through the shade of the dense woods by the roadside, and there is not much left that can fall on the body. Feel the temperature of the sun sparsely shining on your cheeks, listen to the sound of the river ding-dong on the left side of the road, breathe the oxygen factor floating in the tree-lined forest, and enjoy the remote tranquility of the mountains in the early morning. Everyone seemed to relax.
Waking up early, leaving the youth hostel where he lived last night, before the backpackers set off on their journey, Hugo took the lead in heading towards the Songna Fjord. Since the Sona Fjord is famous all over the world, there is an endless stream of backpackers. In addition to train travel, there are also many backpackers on foot. Looking at the smooth and tidy road in front of you, you can see the Norwegian government's high investment in infrastructure. , you can also feel the footprints left by countless backpackers on the road.
Hugo left the crowded youth hostel, set foot on the road of hiking alone, disappeared into the quiet and far-reaching fjord, as if entering the fantasy world of Alice, and cut off contact with the real world again, Enter a beautiful fairy tale kingdom. One mountain, one water, one tree and one tree, all outline a beautiful scene in the sight, even if it is just a wild flower on the roadside, it exudes a refreshing fragrance.
The annoyances in the real world scatter under the feet little by little, and are forgotten on the way behind, allowing the heavy heart to gradually unload the burden and relax again.
Hugo enjoys this kind of life very much, he enjoys the endless quiet and comfort, he enjoys the coldness and desolation that surrounds him, he enjoys this moment of tranquility away from the spotlight, he enjoys this unrestrained casualness and happiness, Even making him not want to go back to Los Angeles, he wants his vacation to be a little longer, a little longer. Just wandering in this silence.
So, Hugo did just that.
While the paparazzi all over the United States are looking for Hugo, the media are convinced that Hugo will be back soon, because "Pulp Fiction" will be released nationwide on October 14, and Hugo will be featured in the play. One of the most important male protagonists, and the winner of the best actor in Cannes, is bound to come back to participate in the promotion.
Therefore, the media are not nervous or worried at all. Hugo can disappear for three days, five days, or even a week, but he will definitely return to the United States to participate in propaganda in less than two weeks. The Weinstein brothers would not miss such an opportunity.
But soon, Miramax announced a news that shocked everyone: "Pulp Fiction" will not hold a separate premiere, but will be released directly in the United States on Friday! At the same time, a group of starring actors, including Hugo Lancaster, Uma Thurman, Samuel L Jackson, and Bruce Willis, will not directly participate in the promotion of the film.
After the news appeared, all the media were in an uproar. They could believe that "Pulp Fiction" would not be promoted, because the work only invested 8 million US dollars, and the publicity cost would not be too much; but they couldn't believe it: Hugo still keep disappearing!
This... this, this really leaves everyone speechless.
