When Alan arrived at the villa again, it was already half past three in the afternoon.

The courtyard of the villa was bustling with activity, Leonardo, Toby, James, and Alex were performing impassionedly in the middle of the courtyard, and Hugo, Neil, and Fokin were sitting under the parasol and talking in a low voice. When you get to the bottom of the stairs, you can see Pedro, Alfonso and Joseph watching TV in the hall, and the faint sound coming from the TV seems to be an NFL game.

I looked left and right, but I didn't see Charlize.

Alan carefully avoided the movements of Leonardo and the others, and walked to Hugo's side, only to hear Neil shake his head, "...... There's no need to rush, let's go into the studio next week and try it out, Sheeran will come over too, do you have time? ”

Hugo patted Neil on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Of course, I definitely won't miss it." ”

Fuquin raised his head and said hello to Alan, then stood up straight, turned and walked into the hall, Neil also shook hands with Alan, briefly greeted him, and left after Fukine. This made Alan a little worried, "I didn't disturb your business, did I?" If I need to, I can go in and watch the game with Joe, it's the penultimate week of the regular season, right? ”

"Germans also watch rugby? I thought you only watched football. Hugo frowned and asked in surprise, Alan just smiled and didn't speak, Hugo didn't ask, and explained, "It's okay, we didn't talk about anything serious, just small talk." ”

It's been two years since the release of "Tempest", but the fourth album of Glory to Death has not moved. However, this time EMI Records is not in a hurry at all, not because they don't want Glory to Die to launch an album to sweep the market, but because they know that Glory to Death must be given enough time to ensure the quality of the album is the most important thing. As long as Glory to Death can deliver a qualified answer sheet in his own style, the success of the fourth album is undoubted. Therefore, there was no movement at all on EMI Records.

However, the Honor to Death team is constantly evolving, and Neil and Fokine have developed enough creative ability after years of persistent learning, especially now that they are walking around with the "Twisted Tour" together, they have gained more inspiration than Hugo, so the recent production of works has far surpassed Hugo.

However, Neil and Fokine were still not sure about the fusion of melody and band style, and they needed Hugo's opinion. Next week they were going to go into the studio to arrange the melody, and then they asked Hugo if he had time.

Alan smiled, didn't continue to ask, and pointed to Leonardo and the others who were in a bustle, "What are they doing?" At this point, Leonardo sat in an exaggerated one-legged spin position, like the classic movement of Jean Kelly in "Singin' in the Rain". It's just that Leonardo is really not a dancing material, and he stumbled a little accidentally, and his appearance was very embarrassing, which made people laugh.

Hugo was also amused, "They are trying to interpret 'Truman's world' in their own way." ”

In fact, their performances more or less still do not jump out of the framework of Hugo's version, this is the difference in the degree of personal understanding of performance, and it is definitely not so easy to give the performance a label that truly belongs to itself.

Hugo is no exception, he really got rid of the influence of others and erected his own style of works, which should be the "Seven Deadly Sins". Although the previous "Schindler's List" and "Vulgar" can already see Hugo's efforts, it still takes a process, and it was not until the "Seven Deadly Sins" that Hugo really deduced his own style.

So, whether it's Leonardo or Alex, they still have a long way to go. Hugo is now the world's premier actor, and it's no surprise that many young actors try to emulate his acting style.

Alan couldn't help frowning, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, "Although I don't know anything about acting, I can be sure that they ...... It seems to be a little out of control. ”

"That's the essence of comedy." Hugo shrugged with a smile.

Alan could see that the ease between Hugo's eyebrows was dyed with a layer of happiness, and even his eyes flashed with a faint golden halo, "So, what about Charlize?" I didn't see her. ”

"She and Samora went to the supermarket, and the refrigerator was looted yesterday." Hugo said with a smile. In fact, he originally wanted to accompany Charlize, but Charlize disliked it, she thought that Hugo was too easy to attract the attention of others, and if she was not careful, she would cause a commotion, and it was better for her to go by herself, but it was more convenient - Samora was in charge of manual work.

Although Hugo and Charlize are in a relationship, they get along with each other in the same way as before. This comfortable and casual feeling does not require the caution between couples, the need to speculate on each other's minds, the need to carefully consider words, and the special handling of the relationship between each other, but there is a natural tacit understanding and excitement. Love, it feels as if everything is meant to be.

Hugo looked at Alan and nodded his chin slightly, and took the initiative to change the topic, "So, you said yesterday that you had something to talk to me about?" Good news or bad news? ”

Alan was amused by Hugo's playful tone, "What I bring is always good news." A German joke, but it made Hugo chuckle. Alan handed Hugo a magazine in his hand, and then Hugo noticed that Alan had been holding a roll in his hand just now, he originally thought it was just a discarded item, but he didn't expect it to be a magazine, and it was what Alan called "business".

"'Vanity Fair'?" Hugo's gaze fell on the magazine, a little surprised. This issue of the magazine was published in July of this year, and the cover featured Gwyneth Paltrow, who was promoting "Super Perfect Murder" at the time. "What, you're going to buy this magazine?"

Alan only felt a tightness in his chest, and shook his head helplessly, "Man, I'm not a fool with so much account balance that I have nowhere to spend it, I can do anything investing." ”

Hugo pursed his lips, "I thought so." This made Alan very helpless, but there was no way to take Hugo but to ignore it, "Look at the magazine, page 43. ”

"Vanity Fair" is actually very influential, but since "Independence Day", Hugo has rarely taken the initiative to read newspapers and magazines, including the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times", and only reads "Variety" or "Hollywood Reporter" when he has time. The rest of the media, Hugo hardly read anymore, and the work was handed over to Joseph and Samora. So, Hugo hasn't seen "Vanity Fair" for a long, long time.

"What's wrong? Is there some special news? Hugo muttered as he opened the magazine and flipped through it. Seeing the title of the article on page forty-three, Hugo looked at Allen with some surprise, "John Nash. Nash）？ He had no idea that the article that Allen asked him to read turned out to be an interview with John Nash!

The name John Nash is unfamiliar to many, but in the economic world, he is a big name. The economist discovered the game theory of "Nash equilibrium", which is known as game theory, which laid the fundamental foundation of modern mainstream game theory and economic theory, changed the system and structure of economics, expanded the scope of economic research, strengthened the depth of economic research, formed a research paradigm system based on classical games, expanded and strengthened the connection between economics and other social disciplines, and changed the language and expression methods of economics.

In the field of economics, it is said that in the past two decades, economics has undergone a moderate revolution in methodology, language, and concepts, and non-cooperative game theory has become the center of the paradigm. In economics or finance, accounting, marketing, and political science, which are related to the principles of economics, it is now difficult to find areas where Nash equilibrium can "consume" recent literature.

It can be said that Nash's game theory changed almost the entire course of economics, which led to his awarding of the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994.

In fact, John Nash had already developed a well-developed game theory in two papers in 1950 and 1951, which revolutionized the way people think about competition and markets. But it wasn't until more than 40 years later, when game theory had completely changed society, that Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize. The most important reason is that he suffers from schizophrenia.

John developed severe schizophrenia in 1958 and went through a series of treatments, brief recoveries, and new relapses in the days that followed. He often appears on college campuses like a madman, with glazed eyes, unkempt hair, long hair and a shawl, and a beard that grows like a weed.

In 1962, when the Fields Medal, the highest award in mathematics, was almost on the verge of being awarded to him, he was missed out because of his poor mental state, and he has been virtually removed from academia ever since. Until the 80s, many awards, including the Nobel Prize, were almost awarded to him, but in the end he was forced to give up because of his illness.

While Nash was in a dreamlike state of mind, his name began to appear in economics textbooks, evolutionary biology papers, political science monographs, and mathematics journals in the seventies and eighties, and his name became a name for economics or mathematics. Game theory is becoming more and more influential, but he himself is obscure. It wasn't until 1994 that John Nash won the honor that should have been.

This interview on "Vanity Fair" is a comprehensive interview with John and his wife. But why did Alan show this interview to Hugo?
