Chapter 1467： Good show

Hugo is the focus, not only on the red carpet, but also inside the Dorothy Chandler Hall. The constant flow of people gives Hugo no room to breathe, and can only keep socializing with everyone.

Forefoot Mark Canton left, and Susan Sarandon walked over with a glass of champagne. "I recently heard that Columbia Pictures is using their brains again. Today Mark Canton actually went out in person. "

Everyone knows that this is Hollywood. There is no need to hang on a tree. There are countless outstanding actors. This is true of any film company, not to mention the eight major film companies. However, Columbia Pictures has a somewhat persevering spirit towards Hugo. It started during the World Cup a year and a half ago. Even if Hugo never saw their script, Mark was not in a hurry and was not angry. The land visited in person, without the arrogance and attitude of a leader in Columbia Pictures.

Although Mark Canton seems to be half a beat slower than Kevin Pence, he has not really figured out Hugo’s mind. There is still no real cooperation; but it is undeniable that Mark's patience and sincerity are far higher than Kevin. This sincerity even makes Hugo feel embarrassed-even if Hugo knows that interests are at stake in the final analysis .

Faced with Susan's ridicule, Hugo chuckled slightly, noncommittal, "Where's Tim? Could it be that he was caught by some key occasion, did you sneak out by yourself?"

Susan didn't agree with Hugo either. She shook her head and said directly, "No, I came here specifically to find you. I have a friend who wants to introduce you to."

"Friend?" Hugo raised her eyebrows slightly. "Susan was actually mobilized. It seems to be a character." This ridicule seems to be a refutation of Susan's joking about Mark Canton just now, which makes Susan too. Chuckled lightly.

Under Susan's leadership, Hugo quickly saw Joe Schumacher in the crowd.

Speaking of Joe, there is no doubt that everyone knows that he is a successful commercial director, "Batman Forever", "Killing Hour", "Sniper Phone Booth (., "8mm (8mm are all his The work, he once gave Batman's work a new life, but unfortunately the subsequent "Batman and Robin" easily ruined everything.

However, during Qiao’s career as a director, in addition to his outstanding commercial achievements, he also endowed many works with impressive ideological connotations. Especially in his fifties, he created "Urban Heroes". Outstanding masterpieces such as "The Ultimate Witness", "Moment of Killing", etc., movies often reflect the dark side and fear of human nature, which are thought-provoking and have won a lot of praise.

Susan and Joe collaborated on "The Ultimate Witness" last year, and this film once again won Susan a queen Oscar nomination. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Susan to introduce Hugo and Joe to each other today.

Joe didn’t have any in-depth conversations with Hugo, just a simple polite greeting. It seemed that it was just an ordinary meeting on social occasions. Susan’s explanation was, “He has heard of your name and has always wanted to talk to you. "We just didn't have a chance to meet each other", so Hugo didn't think much about it.

Immediately afterwards, Hugo saw Ron Meyer standing not far away.

To be honest, Hugo and Lang have very few intersections, because after the Golden Raspberry Award, he is an artist under Joseph, and the number of encounters with Lang is only a handful, but then Hugo completely integrates memory, and he is naturally no stranger to Lang. . But then Lang left the international innovation management company and moved to Universal Pictures. There were fewer opportunities for the two to face each other. Most of the time, it was Rick and Lang.

Hugo didn't expect Lang to appear at today's Oscar scene. He couldn't help but think about it carefully. He also saw Mark, Kevin, Shirley Lansing just now... the bosses of these top big production companies all appeared abnormally. The scene of the Oscars awards ceremony made Hugo have to think more.

The Oscar award ceremony is more of a feast for the practitioners. Big guys like Ron Meyer watch the ceremony more often at home. Even if they arrive at the scene, they come to attend the Oscar night after the award ceremony, almost nothing. Will appear at the award ceremony. After all, they are not professional film practitioners at all.

Today's anomaly makes Hugo puzzled, and he doesn't know what happened. But think about it carefully, the film industry has been in turmoil since last year, and a large-scale change has been brewing. Hugo knows this, because this change finally reached its peak under the catalysis of the "Titanic", so, These bigwigs probably also noticed something, and then they rushed out.

However, these thoughts only flashed through Hugo's mind. His understanding of these things was too one-sided and too superficial, so he was unwilling to spend time thinking deeply. Looking at Lang not far away, the eyes of the two people just came into contact. Hugo just politely clicked on his chin, and then he was about to leave, but Wang Lang took the initiative and greeted him.

Hugo originally wanted to pretend not to see it, and left straight away, but seeing the scrambled and hot scene around him, Hugo knew that he could hide from the first day of the first year of the junior high school and the fifteenth year, so he did not hesitate for too long. He stopped and stood there, waiting for Lang to come over.

"I thought you would leave." Lang said in a calm voice with a smile on his face.

Compared to the Lang in the impression, Lang in front of him seems to be more restrained and calmer. Although Lang in the memory of the past, although his mind is deep, his temper is inevitably impetuous. But obviously, in the past few years, Lang has become more and more at the helm of a large production company.

"If I remember correctly, I should have no debt." Hugo also said with a chuckle, but it was not a joke, but a bit of fun. This so-called "debt" is really worth thinking about.

Lang did not react too much when he heard it. He just smiled, "Looking back on some of the original things, I regret that I missed the'Hugo Lancaster'." Lang added in front of his name. The article "the" is used to emphasize the uniqueness of Hugo, showing his importance.

Hugo was a little surprised when Lang took the initiative to mention this incident. He didn't hide the accident, but slightly surprised and said, "I thought you would treat it as if it hadn't happened." It can be said that Lang gave up Hugo directly. Although the reasons are very complicated, it is undeniable that Lang looked at Hugo with the mood of falling into trouble, otherwise he would not encourage Hugo to attend the Golden Raspberry Award. Up.

Regarding Hugo’s slight irony, Lang did not get angry as usual, but chuckled lightly, "No one can’t get along with money, right?" This phrase is a pun, which seems to be meaningful. It implies that if Hugo can cooperate with Universal Pictures, this will be a win-win situation.

"I don't know, maybe I would like to try it." Hugo's ridiculous tone made Lang dumbfounded, remembering that before "Independence Day" Hugo's highest salary did not exceed 8 million, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, Hugo." After looking back, he saw Tom Hanks. Lang didn't go on to say any more. He said hello to Tom and Hugo politely, and then turned and left. "Are you okay?" Tom asked with concern.

Tom has more or less heard of those things about Hugo and Lang. Hugo chuckled and shook his head, "It's okay."

Tom was present tonight as the guest of award for best actress. Although his excellent performance in "Apollo 13" failed to win the nomination, Tom has a very good mentality. After all, he has achieved incredible results in the previous two years. It can be seen that he is very relaxed, "I met Meryl just now, and she said that I haven't seen you tonight, how about it, don't you plan to go over and say hello?"

Meryl Streep, although Hugo never really had a good conversation with her, Meryl was always very friendly to Hugo, and even took the initiative to the rain during the Golden Globes celebration event. Guo reached out a helping hand. So, when I went to visit Meryl, Hugo was very happy, but Hugo deliberately let out a long sigh and sighed helplessly, "It was a busy night." This made Tom couldn't help laughing. Up.

Indeed, as the biggest party of the year in Hollywood, the social activities before the official start of the awards ceremony are very frequent and intensive not only Hugo, but also not just Nicolas Cage, Brahman De Pitt and others, including those who did not win the nomination, are also the case. Even second-line and third-line actors, as long as they can be qualified to play, this will become a stage for them to show their strengths.

Just look at the actions of Mark, Kevin, Lang and others. The conversation between them and Hugo must be more than just polite. Everyone’s conversation has a deep meaning behind it, otherwise they don’t need to introduce or know each other. , Talked to each other. On this occasion, opportunities are everywhere. Just like the Oscar night, the real significance of attending such an occasion lies not only in the exposure rate, but also in the infinite possibilities of future development. This is also the fundamental reason why the Oscar has always been aloof, even the Golden Globes that have been in business for many years are incomparable.

Hugo spent nearly 40 minutes talking in the lobby without stopping. When the staff guided everyone to enter the venue, Hugo had the opportunity to drink half a glass of juice. As for the dazzling buffet in front of him, it could only be Missed. However, this part of the conversation can only be regarded as a warm-up. The real good show begins with the beginning of the award ceremony. Only the people who have experienced it can have much influence. Taste a hint of flavor.

Night has fallen, Dorothy Chandler Hall is shrouded in a dazzling starlight, and the suspense of the 68th Oscar is about to be revealed!
