The news of Hugo's absence from the Golden Globes for three consecutive years does not seem to be as lively as imagined. Due to the silence of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the media reporters did not reproach Hugo; And thanks to Rick's friendliness, the media reporters did not sneer at the Golden Globes.

But even so, this has become the hottest news of the week, the Golden Globes were the absolute focus of the week, and now Hugo's absence is even more heated discussion. The discussion of the awards is undoubtedly dominant, and will the absence of Hugo again at the award ceremony have an impact on the trend of the awards? What will be the impact of Hugo's refusal to attend despite having four nominations in one go? "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Walk" were divided at the same time, how is this counted? Hugo won nominations for all three works in one go, and it is easy to die of popularity, what do you think of this?

And most importantly, in the race for Best Supporting Actor, will Brad be the ultimate beneficiary because of Hugo's absence?

Brad's brilliant performance in "Twelve Monkeys" was unanimously considered by critics to be the best performance of his career, and it was also an important piece of the puzzle for Brad to reach the top at the end of the year. However, Hugo's excellent performance in the "Seven Deadly Sins" to get close to Hannibal, the biggest villain in film history, is the biggest hit, there is no doubt that the character of Anonymous in "The Seven Deadly Sins" has the deterrent power to make children stop crying, Hugo injected an amazing soul into Anonymous, not only blew up Brad, beat Morgan Freeman, but also made the whole work rise to a higher level.

Long before the Golden Globe nominations came out, people were discussing, which character is more exciting, the anonymous of "Seven Deadly Sins" or Matthew of "Death Row Walk"? Should Hugo win Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor in a Drama? That's where the attention comes in.

But now that Hugo is absent, Brad's call for Best Supporting Actor has skyrocketed, and many people even think that he has the hope of carrying the power of the Golden Globe Award and hitting the Oscar nomination, and the whole landscape has changed dramatically.

Brad won the Ballon d'Or trophy before Hugo? This is a piece of news, but it's still not as good as "Brad won the acting trophy affirmation, alongside Hugo and Tom", if Brad, whose acting skills have been repeatedly criticized, can rely on "Twelve Monkeys" to turn over, then the Hollywood landscape is a real reshuffle.

Of course, although Hugo is absent, people still can't forget his strong strength, especially the performance of killing Brad in the head-to-head showdown of "Seven Deadly Sins", which was talked about again when the awards ceremony was coming, which also became the biggest stain and obstacle for Brad to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.

In addition, Kevin Spacey, who showed no less than the anonymous performance in "The Usual Suspect", has an amazing momentum and has become Brad's biggest rival after Hugo's absence.

"Hugo's absence", which can be said to be a trigger that affects the whole body, and the chain reaction produced makes people's enthusiasm for discussion to a higher level.

Just one day before the Golden Globe ceremony, the Chicago Tribune, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, put forward an interesting proposition, "If you are absent from the Golden Globes, then Berlin?" ”

After the "Chicago Tribune" reminded people, people suddenly realized that "Death Row Walk" entered the main competition list of this year's Berlin Film Festival, because the United States is surrounded by the Golden Globe Awards, Grammys, and Oscars at this time of year, the United States pays less attention to the Berlin Film Festival, and there is still a month before the Berlin Film Festival, so that people actually did not notice this matter in the first place.

As the Chicago Tribune said, Hugo was absent from the Golden Globes, but what about the Berlin Film Festival? Won't Hugo still participate?

The topic was only a minor discussion, as it was known that Hugo had been absent from the "Before Sunrise" promotion in Berlin last year - and only if Hugo attended the premiere of "Before Sunrise" in Salt Lake City; So even if it's not a surprise to be absent again this year.

But a reporter still asked Rick in person to verify, and Rick's answer was no different from two days ago, "Hugo is still fully engaged in the filming of 'Independence Day', if conditions allow, Hugo will appear at the Golden Globe Awards, and will also appear in Berlin, but if the time is too short, he can only regret to be absent." ”

Rick's answer is not bright, because two days ago Rick also said that Hugo will try to speed up the filming and attend the Golden Globes when time allows, but there is still no movement today, and the absence of the Golden Globes is irreversible. Rick switched the same answer to the Berlinale again, lacking in novelty.

The topic of cold Berlin on the distant continent of Europe just popped up, was fleeting, and was quickly forgotten in the pile of old papers of memory, because the Golden Globe was already at hand!

While all eyes were on the Hilton at the foot of Beverly Hills, Hugo quietly left Burbank's "Independence Day" camera crew and headed for San Francisco.

It would be unimaginable if reporters were to capture this scene, and it would be impossible to imagine how the Hollywood Foreign Press Association would be furious - Hugo's refusal to attend the Golden Globes was fine, and it was okay to use the pretext of filming "Independence Day", but it was absolutely impossible for journalists to be caught, otherwise it would be an open provocation to the Golden Globes, and it was impossible for them not to react.

But in fact, Rick is definitely not such a careless person, even if he is caught by reporters, he does not mind, because Hugo went to San Francisco on business, and it was just to shoot "Independence Day".

"Actually, we can go again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Hugo sat in the back seat of the car, relaxing the joints of his hands and feet, with a relaxed smile on his face.

At this time, Samora was driving, Rick and Joseph were also in the car, Rick sat in the passenger seat and did not look back, "Even today, today the entire City of Angels has focused its attention on Beverly Hills, and even the paparazzi have completely surrounded that area, and no one will notice our movements at all." If it were changed to tomorrow, after the list of winners came out, it is estimated that the crew would definitely be harassed, although I guess you are not interested in standing up and responding, but the paparazzi will definitely be watching you. ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and didn't argue with Rick anymore, he didn't care personally, anyway.

Rick is not lying, Hugo has been rushing to the scene recently, not only for the Berlin Film Festival, to be precise, the filming process of the entire crew is very rushed, and all the staff of the crew are in full swing to work. Absent from the Golden Globe Awards can really give Hugo more time to stay in the crew, which is a good thing.

Hugo will leave Burbank for San Francisco today, also for Independence Day.

A few days ago, Alan Strello went to the set again, and during a break to chat with Hugo, he took the initiative to make a proposal that Hugo couldn't refuse, "Don't you want to go and see for yourself what the visual effects of the current film are all about?" ”

It turned out that after listening to Hugo talk about the difficulties of green screen acting on the first day, Allen paid attention, because it was more difficult to carry the giant computer directly to the set, so Alan communicated with the computer special effects production staff, and asked Hugo to go to the studio to watch the computer special effects that have been completed so far, including the overall effect of the part they have completed with the computer special effects.

This is not only Hugo's wish, but also Roland's wish, which can be of great use for the next performances.

Both Hugo and Roland were overjoyed by Allen's proposal, and they nodded and agreed without hesitation. So in the past few days, Roland focused on filming Hugo's scenes first, and then set aside an entire afternoon for Hugo to San Francisco for a field trip.

As Alan said before, he didn't know anything about investing in "Independence Day" this time, so he chose the best of all, the actor chose Hugo, and the computer special effects were taken over by the industry leader Industrial Light & Magic.

ILM plays a vital role in the development of Hollywood and the film industry as a whole, and this is George Lucas's greatest contribution to the film industry. Founded in 1975, the special effects company not only created spectacular VFX blockbusters such as Star Wars, The Abyss, Monster in Disguise, and Star Trek, but it also ushered in a new era in the film special effects industry.

In the 21st century, Star Wars Prequel 3 achieved the feat of shooting all the scenes indoors, and all the natural landscapes were superimposed in the later stage, which had a earth-shaking change for the film industry. Until 2014, ILM still represents the world's top production level in the film special effects industry, and its technical advantages and achievements are unparalleled, and it is also the only special effects company that has won the National Medal of Science and Technology, which shows that ILM's technical strength is extraordinary. Relying only on the contribution and promotion of computer special effects technology, this is enough to make George famous in history.

No one can forget the unparalleled shock when they saw the unpredictable T1000 appear on the big screen in "Terminator 2"! No one can forget the jaw-dropping sight of lifelike dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park"!

It is worth mentioning that ILM had a department called the "Computer Animation Group" that specialized in computer 3D animation, but George Lucas was not interested in this technology, so in 1986 he sold the department to Steve Jobs. jobs), and thus was born Pixar Animation Studios, which changed the landscape of animated films.

When Hugo learns that he was able to go to ILM to see the special effects for Independence Day, he couldn't help but get excited, not only because he could enjoy the whole process of computer special effects, but also because he was able to get to the studio that changed the film industry, let alone see the places where tech nerds used their brains to change the world.

So, what about the Golden Globes? Hugo's attention is clearly higher now.
