The comeback 595 was reborn
Comeback 595 Uma watched Hugo and Samuel talking and laughing there, but her heart became more and more irritable, she couldn't figure out the reason herself, but she knew that she couldn't calm down today. At the beginning, when Uma was discovered by Hugo and the small movements behind her, she didn't panic, and even quickly calmed down and cut through the mess, but today, she was not alarmed, and according to her predetermined goal, her heart was not quiet.
This irritability reached its peak in the brief question-and-answer session of the reporter at the opening ceremony
"Hugo, what are your thoughts on working with Uma and Thurman?" The question was expected by all, if not by the gossip magazine "American Weekly", but by any other newspaper and magazine, and even more so, by James Rattle, a journalist with whom Hugo had a good personal relationship, it obviously helped to lighten the mood.
Sure enough, Hugo smiled directly when he heard this question, "Why do people always care more about these gossip news than the movie itself?" Quentin, it looks like we're going to have to work harder, which isn't good news for the movie itself. β
Hugo didn't answer the question directly, but ridiculed, making the reporters look at each other, and all the people in the "vulgar" crew who participated in the interview session laughed. Quentin was originally worried that Hugo would suddenly attack, but when he saw Hugo's calm and relaxed smile, he realized: He was tricked just now! This made Quentin stunned for a moment, and his usual sharp teeth were stunned that he couldn't say a word.
Seeing Quentin's stunned and depressed expression, Hugo smiled contentedly, and then he looked at the reporter and said, "On this issue, I talked about it before at the premiere of 'A Different Sky', and Uma and I will work together to complete the cooperation of this film, you know, although the investment in this film is not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people, but for us, it is a very expensive investment, and our entire crew will stick together to make sure that every penny is spent in the right place." β
Although Hugo answered the question positively, he subtly diverted the essence of the topic, and in passing ridiculed those critics who thought that his "vulgar" film was a huge mistake.
I have to say that Hugo has really grown a lot now, although he still hates reporters, but when facing reporters, he is completely like a fish in water, and he is aggrieved to talk about these reporters one by one.
"Hugo, what do you mean is that you think joining 'Vulgar' is the right choice? Many people don't think it's a wise choice. A reporter immediately jumped out and couldn't wait to ask, the reporter from the "New York Post" thought that the question was very clever, and pushed all the problems in front of Hugo at once, but he did not notice the expression of hatred on the faces of a group of sophisticated reporters next to him.
Hugo couldn't be happier at this time, because the reporter managed to fall into his trap and shift the topic to the work itself, which was his purpose, "Phew, Quentin, does this question need to be answered by you?" It hurts so much. Hugo also frowned and made a pained expression, the subtext of which was that the reporter's question was actually hurting Quentin and that he had no confidence in the script of "vulgarity".
Quentin, the ruffian, was deflated just now, so he naturally didn't have a good mood, so he directly raised his middle finger at Hugo, which seemed to be erected at Hugo on the surface, but it wasn't an answer to the reporter.
Hugo laughed, he turned his head to look at the "New York Post" reporter, if Hugo is not mistaken, "New York Post" and "National Inquirer" are the kind of people who are traitors, and both media are very unpleasant to Hugo, so Hugo has no intention of showing mercy, "You just said 'many people', can you list them?" I mean, what the hell is it? Film critics? Reporter? Chief editor? Other directors? Other producers? Say a name and come out and listen to it. β
Hugo's series of words made the reporter stunned and choked, he originally wanted to say "The New York Times" Armond Camby, but Hugo didn't give him a chance to answer at all, and threw out a series of questions, which directly blinded the reporter.
Hugo gave the reporter two seconds after asking the question, but did not hear any answer - as expected, he shrugged his shoulders, "I know that film critics and journalists always want to have their own opinions, and this is their job, and I can understand that." But I think any work needs to wait until it is released before it can be judged, right? I am a very open-minded person who accepts any criticism and praise because I want to keep improving, so I read these comments carefully. However, to make up your mind about a movie before it comes out, I don't think it's very professional. β
Hugo's answers always have a sunny and gentlemanly politeness, but there is a needle hidden in it, and the sarcastic, mocking, and contemptuous tone needs to be savored before it can be felt, which makes the reporter have no way to find an accurate foothold to attack, which really frustrates the reporter.
The reporter still remembers the weakness of the parry before the Golden Globe incident, which allowed Anthony and Bond and Stewart to succeed, but now that a year has not passed, Hugo seems to have been reborn, so that the reporter has almost no power to parry.
"Quentin is a great director, and he's proven himself in Reservoir Dogs, so I think I have reason to expect more from him." Hugo then went back to the clichΓ© of reporters' interviews: the word of praise is endless.
At this moment, the reporter of the "New York Post" realized that he had been completely dragged into Hugo's rhythm, and what was even worse was that he didn't realize it until now, which was really bad!
Although the "New York Post" was dizzy, but apparently the reporter who remained sober was still saved, and after Hugo finished his routine praise, a reporter in the crowd raised his hand, Hugo took a look, it was actually Nicholas McLaren of the "Los Angeles Times", and now Nicholas McLaren and James Rattle are also the most familiar and friendly reporters Hugo, so Hugo nodded and signaled that he could ask questions.
"Hugo, are you and Uma still friends? Or, taking it a step further, you're dating again?" Nicholas looked at Hugo with a stern expression, but there was a hint of banter in his eyes.
Hugo immediately caught Nicholas's mischievous look, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, Nicholas obviously did it on purpose. This question lit up Uma's already somewhat depressed mood, and she glanced at Hugo quietly, obviously expecting Hugo's answer; But for Hugo, he didn't feel much, it was just a very ordinary question.
Man is such a strange creature, but when there are emotions such as love or hate in the mind, all emotions will become intense, so people always say that hate is actually because of too deep love. But when this strong emotion disappears, the emotion will naturally become simpler, as if you will be strong again because of India. Traitor. The case is sad and sad, but it will not be unforgettable, because it is just a stranger, and it is not a part of your life.
At this time, Hugo felt a little like this, although Uma is not a complete stranger, after all, so many complicated things have happened in the past year, but Hugo does not have violent ups and downs because of Uma's related problems, and Uma at this time is nothing special to him.
So Hugo didn't get angry or react violently to Nicholas's banter, just pouted and smiled, "Yes, we're friends, but we're not dating." We just hope to work together to make this film go smoothly. After saying that, Hugo looked over to Uma and motioned for him to answer.
In Hugo's opinion, Uma is the calm and rational person, Uma can handle things so calmly and even coldly when they broke up, and now there is no problem for Umma. That's why Hugo uses a subject like "we" to answer the question - he thinks he and Uma have come to an agreement.
But at this time, the turbulence in Umma's heart could not be calmed down at all, and she noticed Hugo's calmness, which was as if they had nothing to do with each other, no love and no hate. Although it is said that if Hugo hates her at this time, it will make it more difficult for Uma to do, and it will be difficult for the cooperation between the two to continue; But now Hugo treats her like a stranger, and the best-case scenario she had hoped for has left her irritable, restless, apprehensive, and frustrated.
Although her heart is extremely complicated, Uma is still sane enough after all, so she tugged at the corners of her mouth and sketched a perfect arc, "Of course, Hugo and I are friends now, and we both hope to be able to have a good performance in the film, maybe there will be some sparks - if the director needs it." β
Uma's answer was also very appropriate, and in the last sentence hinted at some possibilities, and it was clear that she wanted the reporter to be able to read her words.
Of course, the reporter will not ignore such an obvious hint, and the next question immediately hit the snake with the stick, "You had some unpleasantness with Hugo before, won't you worry when you shoot the scene that needs sparks again?"
Hearing this, Uma glanced at Hugo, only to find that Hugo didn't care at all, but talked to Samuel standing next to him in a low voice, which made Uma's inner irritability worse, but she still had to pick up her spirits to deal with the reporter.
Umma's interview was obviously much easier than Hugo's - or Umma's willingness to cooperate, and her hope to get the help of reporters, which made the reporters breathe a sigh of relief, and today's opening ceremony finally had news to write.
But the problem is that there is not much news worth digging up in Uma at all, and Hugo, who is standing next to him and chatting with Samuel at this time, seems to be a gold mine, shining with a charming light, so that reporters know that Hugo is difficult, and they have to attack Hugo again.
