Nicolas Cage froze in place, because Hugo and Oprah, who were talking and laughing not far away, were really eye-catching, and he himself couldn't help but cast his gaze, he didn't have a chance to look at Hugo and the surrounding situation in detail, but his gaze couldn't help but shift in that direction.

But Nicholas's brain clearly knew that now was not the time to pay attention to others, he himself had to deal with the reporter in front of him, "uh, uh......" Nicholas glanced back at the reporter, but couldn't help but look at Hugo again, and then turned to look at the reporter, "This, this should be a night of revelry, isn't it?" I hope everyone enjoyed the evening. ”

Nicholas's answer seemed a little bull's head, which made some reporters around him stunned, but their eyes drifted in the direction of Hugo, and everyone showed a smile that you know.

Nicholas finally noticed the mysterious expressions of the reporters, after all, he has been rolling in this circle for more than ten years, although he has never reached the peak, but he naturally knows a lot about reporters, he also realized his gaffe, and couldn't help but bow his head and cough lightly twice to hide his embarrassment.

However, the eye still saw Hugo. At this time, Nicholas noticed Hugo's dress, the navy blue suit was shrouded in the orange light of the red carpet, which actually looked brilliant, so that people could clearly outline every detail in the suit, and their eyes were firmly locked on Hugo.

It must be admitted that Hugo's suit, whether it is color selection, cut, or matching, including the overall temperament, far surpasses other male artists on the red carpet. Among the piles of suits that are a little generic for all male artists, Hugo, who fits comfortably but calmly, looks so different that it is amazing.

But after Nicholas finished his exclamation, the irritability in his heart precipitated, because he felt that Hugo was a child.

Although Hugo is only three years younger than him, only children care so much about what they are dressed for, and in general, people know that the red carpet is a stage for female artists to show themselves, and it is enough for male actors to become competent green leaves. So, a black suit for men is enough to walk the Oscars.

Moreover, Nicholas remembered the school of motion picture arts and sciences' obsession with black suits, the old pedants' emphasis on formal occasions and their old-fashionedness, almost like the run-down aristocrats of England in the twenties, who maintained their manners even when begging for food on the side of the road - and their etiquette was black suits, and on formal and solemn occasions, black suits and white shirts were the greatest respect for their owners.

About the curse of the white suit, Nicholas naturally knows it. Although Hugo did not wear a white suit today, he did not wear a black suit, which gradually settled Nicholas's troubled heart, as if he had found a belief to rely on - Hugo wore a black suit with a black shirt last year, so he did not win the award; Hugo won the award the year before last in a regular black suit with a white shirt.

Thinking of this, Nicholas couldn't help but pull his slightly wide black suit, and his spine, which was still a little curved, suddenly straightened, he believed that today would be his night, a starry night.

When he left Joseph Gibbs, Nicholas always felt that it was the right choice - although Hugo's career was prosperous, it was all due to Rick Rosen, and it was not directly related to Joseph. And Nicholas chose Marven as his agent, and his career quickly ushered in a turning point, although he missed the opportunity to "brave the island of death", but he ushered in the opportunity to soar - if he can win the actor tonight, then his career will usher in a real peak!

Tonight, it's his! He's going to be victorious!

Nicholas looked at Hugo who was sensationalizing in the distance, and the tension that had been tumbling in his heart for a long time finally calmed down, and the whole person seemed to be in good spirits.

"Mr. Cage, do you have any special thoughts about tonight's awards? Who did you vote for at Best Actor? ”

The reporter's question made Nicholas turn his attention away from Hugo, and said calmly, "Let's wait and see the winners, I think the most powerful people always get the most recognition, don't they?" That great confidence leaked out of his breezy words, and the reporters were all impressed - and at the same time, they were all excited, and Nicholas was going straight to Hugo, which was exciting!

"As for my vote, I think it's a secret, I chose the person I think deserves the award the most." Nicholas's remark can be said to be the official formula answer, and if it is said in a humble tone, it will seem very flattering; If you use a flat tone, it will seem more polite. Nicholas, on the other hand, said in a brisk and confident tone, which seemed confident, and the answer was self-evident.

After answering, Nicholas didn't stop any longer, and calmly took a step.

Soon, Nicholas walked up to Hugo and Oprah, and Oprah immediately shouted happily, "Hey, Nick, Nicholas!" Welcome to the Academy Awards! Oprah walked over and pulled Nicholas in front of the camera lens.

Hugo didn't care, he took a step to the left and gave up the space, because Oprah was halfway through the interview just now, and it would be very rude for Hugo to leave like this, so he politely gave up his position, but did not leave directly, and showed a polite and detached smile to Nicholas.

Nicholas also nodded his chin slightly, which was considered a greeting. And Oprah has pulled the two men into the camera separately, and he is standing in the middle, at this time, this rare scene appeared on the live broadcast of ABC TV, which made many people sensational.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am now honoured to have Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Cage join us, who have been recognized for their wonderful performances over the past year, and will be in contention for Best Actor tonight." Oprah said with a spring breeze on her face, and her mood seemed very happy.

"So, Nicholas, what do you think of your odds of winning tonight?" Oprah politely asked Nicholas first, after all, he had interviewed Hugo for a long time.

Faced with Oprah's direct question, Nicholas subconsciously glanced at Hugo, and then pulled the hem of his black suit, "I've done my best, I hope I can have a twenty percent chance." This was a very polite answer, but Nicholas kept scanning Hugo with his gaze as if he were speaking out of nowhere, as if he were disdainful and provocative, making his words sound slightly harsh.

Oprah raised her eyebrows slightly, took a small step back, as if sensing Nicholas's small movements, and then looked at Hugo, "So, Hugo, what do you think are your chances of winning the prize tonight?" ”

"I don't know, you know, more than 5,000 college judges, I don't know every single one." Hugo's unconventional answer with a little humor, combined with his kind smile, made people chuckle again. Hugo also sensed Nicholas's gaze, which made people feel very uncomfortable, but Hugo was not surprised at all, anyway, the relationship between him and Nicholas was not very good, "Of course, I can be sure that I got a vote from Charlize Theron because I once tried to bribe her with a month's free pizza, and I firmly believe that I made a breakthrough." ”

This is like a child's play, and the joke is said under Hugo's serious expression, which makes everyone burst into laughter, but the person in question, Hugo, still looks serious, and the comedy effect is even more explosive. But in fact, Charlize is not a member of the academy at all, and this is only the first time she has been nominated, so she is not eligible to vote.

Still, Nicholas didn't smile - to be precise, he smiled politely at the camera, not smiling, but glancing meaningfully at Hugo, and then the corners of his mouth were really outlined.

Oprah patted Hugo on the shoulder hard, completely happy, "When Charlize arrives at the scene, we can ask her for verification." ”

Just as Hugo, Nicholas and Oprah were chatting, there was a commotion on the red carpet again, and I saw a pair of beautiful people standing at the beginning of the red carpet, although the woman's height was slightly taller than the man, but it still did not affect the picture effect of the two people standing together.

When the crowd realized who was on the red carpet, the screams that had been calmed down for a while began to stir again, because at this time it was Brad Pitt, who had completely reached the top at the end of the year, and his female companion, Gwyneth Paltrow. The influence of this golden boy and girl has even surpassed Hugo and Cameron, becoming the most talked-about couple in Hollywood at the moment - these two are very keen to show affection in front of the camera, and the exposure rate is completely Hugo and Cameron.

Even if Hugo is in front, the audience at the scene can't refuse Brad's charm, this is Hollywood, this is popularity. People say that Brad has the strength to make decisions with Hugo and Tom, and it is definitely not just talking, but in the blink of an eye, the entire red carpet can't help but boil again, and the pervasive screams are like a thin layer of mist, which is noisy in the sight.

On the short red carpet, Hugo stood smiling as if he had not been affected in any way, still talking to Oprah; Nicholas looked thoughtfully at the end of the red carpet, but his back couldn't help but straighten up; Brad, who broke the deadlock, felt a pain in his palm at this time, and he knew that Gwyneth was pinching him, reminding him to cheer up, and he must not be weaker than Hugo on the red carpet today.

Brad stretched his shoulders back slightly, straightened himself up, put his arms around Gwyneth, and waved his free left hand at the surging crowd in front of him.
