Chapter 1462： The heat wave hits

The morning sun fell into the room without any barriers. Hugo dumbly heard the sound of Samora calling him to get up. It seemed that he called him more than three times, but he only felt like a paste in his mind. , On the contrary, it was the uneasy, ups and downs of the heartbeat that awakened first, and the chaotic brain gradually realized: a new day is here.

I didn't remember when I fell asleep last night. Later, I chatted with Charlize for a long time, and the two people discussed many things. Charlize also learned a lot during the performance of "Romeo and Juliet" and Leonardo DiCaprio recently. Charlize told Yu Guo asked a lot of acting tricks. The nervousness of the two people was relieved a lot, and Hugo finally fell asleep groggyly.

However, feeling the chaotic heartbeat, Hugo knew that he was still nervous and irritable. Although the huge pressure had been relieved recently, there was still no way to completely relieve him. But this is life, no matter how painful, struggling, and difficult, the sun will still rise as usual.

After getting up quickly, he briefly took a shower before Hugo walked to the first floor, only to find that the whole room was too quiet, even the sound of the sea breeze could not be heard. Hugo looked down and found that Rick, Joseph, Samora, Carl, Alex, and others were all scattered in the corners of the hall on the first floor, but everyone didn't speak, and they were all in despair.

Hugo knows that not just him, in fact, every friend around him is also under tremendous pressure, because their inner expectations are even stronger than Hugo. For them, the Oscar is currently the most important and supreme award in Hollywood. Hugo has already obtained enough recognition at the box office. If it can be recognized by the Oscar for best actor, this will undoubtedly become the Hugo career. peak.

As the media said, this year is the best opportunity for Hugo, and their inner expectations have risen to the zenith irresistibly. But as the saying goes, the higher the expectation, the heavier the disappointment; the more eager in the heart, the stronger the fear of missing out... This pressure makes everyone unable to exception to start distracting.

Even the most experienced and composed Rick was a little distracted at this time. Although Tom Hanks has won the title of Oscar winner in the past two years-he is also Rick's artist, but Rick clearly knows that the commercial value represented by Hugo is more long-term. What's more, Hugo’s biggest competitor is Nicolas Cage, who abandoned Joseph’s choice of international innovation management company at the time. Rick not only hopes that Hugo can defeat Nicholas, but also hope that Endeavour's elite brokerage company can defeat international innovation management. company.

"Hugo, breakfast?" It was Samora who broke the silence, not because he was not nervous, but because he had almost admired confidence in Hugo, and he firmly believed in Hugo, so, relatively speaking, his The tension is minimal.

The sound disturbed the silence in the room. Everyone turned their heads and saw Hugo. Everyone became flustered, talking nonsense, "Oh, Hugo, get up" and "Hey, good morning." , "Breakfast, breakfast is very good"... I hope to use these trivial words to cover up my anxiety, but the impetuous words fill the room with a sense of unspeakable tension.

Hugo let out a long sigh, "Yes, breakfast, I think I need some breakfast." Hugo walked towards the kitchen, picked up an apple from the fruit basket, and began to gnaw. Hugo knew that this would be an extremely long day.

Waiting is a very interesting thing. When the mind is positive, the waiting time will become extremely fast, extremely sweet, and extremely cheerful. The excitement of being impatient to embrace the future can make waiting become better; beware of the message At times, the waiting time will become like years, every minute and every second seems to be grilled on charcoal fire, and tossing and turning can not eliminate the inner anxiety and boredom.

Today it is obviously the latter. The waiting process makes the pressure become more and more intense. It seems that even an encouraging look will turn into a heavy burden, causing the emotions to gradually start to lose control.

"Hugo?"

There was a voice behind him, and Hugo frowned slightly and said impatiently, "What?" Turning around, I saw Joseph handing over the phone, "Old Jack Taylor."

Hugo couldn't help but was stunned. How could old Jack call this time? Could it be that Adam has something to do? He quickly answered the phone, "Old Jack, it's me."

"Hey! Hugo." Old Jack's cheerful and clear voice came over, "How are you feeling now? You should be very nervous?" Old Jack's words made Hugo jerky at the corner of his mouth, "If it were me, I Also nervous, that scene is absolutely unimaginable. However, your father is definitely more nervous than you..."

"He has been absent-minded since yesterday. Grayson said yesterday that he was going to buy two bottles of beer, but he gave Grayson a box of toothbrushes. I was really going to laugh...This morning he drove to the gas station and then Asking Little Jack to wash the car for him, and just left the car there. As a result, Little Jack drove the car to wash him, and then drove back..."

Listening to old Jack talking about Adam's embarrassment there, Hugo's chaotic heart slowly settled down, and he felt a sense of peace inexplicably.

"I will watch the live broadcast with Adam today. Jasmine and Michelle will also be together. We will always be with you." Old Jack said playfully. The gong's voice is not tender at all, but it looks like a western one. The cowboy’s malicious mockery made Hugo laugh, "I’m calling you, just to tell you, you know, in the mind of the old Adam—and of course, in the minds of our Taylor family, you will always They are the best and don’t need anyone’s approval. You have to remember this."

"So, you think I will never get the prize, so comfort me in advance?" Hugo lowered his head and chuckled lightly, jokingly.

Old Jack laughed loudly, "If you want to think like this, I can't help it. I just tell you, if you have time, remember to call Adam. I see he is sitting at home and has started to smoke. ."

After hanging up the phone, Hugo couldn't help rubbing his forehead. Only then did he realize that he was so stressed in the past two days that he had almost forgotten Adam and had not contacted Adam. In fact, in many cases, bystanders are more nervous than the parties involved, just like in a sports event, the people on the court are thrown into selflessness, but the audience or coaches off the court are more nervous.

Hugo looked ahead, "How far is it to the Dorothy Chandler Hall?" They were already on the way to the red carpet at this time. Hugo was sitting in the VIP car, and he looked forward. The road has been traffic controlled, but traffic jams still started early.

"There are two more streets, that is, at least a quarter of an hour." Joseph said skillfully.

Hugo lowered his head and dialed the phone again and called Adam, but there was no communication between the two. After all, Hugo's condition was not good enough to comfort Adam. After a few stiff and jerky words, the phone hung up. broken. But after the call, Hugo's inner irritability gradually settled down. Although he was still nervous and his shoulders were still tight, at least Hugo could control it.

As the car slowly moved forward, the turbulent crowd in his sight revealed the whole picture bit by bit. One street away, the crowded crowds had already occupied both sides of the road, and the gradually rising cheers made the atmosphere of the scene gradually rise, and the pace of the car's progress seemed to be from winter to spring.

From afar, the red carpet can be seen in Hugo's sight. The flashing lights in the sky will reflect the dark blue sky into crimson. The brilliant light spots and dots of stars reflect each other, and the surging people are in sight. With the continuous ups and downs, the faces that began to be distorted because of excessive excitement gradually became clear, and the lineup of reporters followed by one after another made the red carpet look like the road of Moses that would be swallowed at any time.

The 68th Oscar is already in sight, and the beating of the heart in the chest cavity is beginning to become stronger and stronger again. The surging adrenaline makes the muscles of the whole body tense, and the palms of the hands can even feel wet sweat. Hugo knows that this unprecedented tension comes from his mental imbalance, even more nervous than when he first came to the Oscars, but he has no way to control it. Hugo can only take a deep breath, and then take a deep breath again, exhausting. Do your best to calm yourself down.

Finally the car slowly approached the entrance of the red carpet. Joseph and Samora and Rick who were sitting on the opposite side focused on Hugo. The most experienced Rick took pictures of Hugo. The back of his hand, "Remember to smile, this is the reason they came here." Rick motioned with his eyes to the turbulent crowd outside the window.

Hugo couldn't help but smile upon hearing this ridicule.

Then, it stopped completely. The door of the car was opened by the reception staff standing on both sides of the red carpet. The dazzling lights suddenly vented, Hugo took a deep breath again, and walked directly out of the VIP car. , Feeling the softness on the red carpet with both feet, trying to lower his center of gravity and let himself land slowly from the floating mid-air.

"Hoo" the ground, the crazy heat wave hits your face, the screams, shouts and cheers that break through the clouds are mixed in the flashing flashes of the tide and flow down, and the heat wave that seems to be the nine days of the Milky Way is surging. , Set off a huge wave of air, and almost made Hugo unstable.

Hugo straightened his waist, and lightly stepped on the red carpet with his feet. In a trance, he could feel the solidity from the ground, and he calmed down. He has passed countless winds and waves, let alone Oscar night? Then, Hugo sketched a calm smile at the corner of his mouth, and took the steps under his feet: Oscar, kick off the curtain!
