Two years ago at this time, Hugo was a laughing stock because of the Golden Raspberry Award, and reporters acted recklessly; A year ago at this time, the Golden Globe Awards incident broke out into an uproar, and the waves of media condemnation came and went; At this time in 1994, the controversy and chaos were still there, but the reporters looked at the humble and polite Hugo in front of them, but they didn't dare to surround it, but obediently gave way to it, and then everyone watched Hugo take a calm step and disappear into the Hilton Hotel.

The reporters stood on the ground and looked at each other, although they were not red-faced, but they were inevitably a little embarrassed and jerky, and they couldn't help but avoid the eyes of their peers. An actor like Hugo, who appeared on the big screen for the first time at the age of fifteen, although he is not a child star, he has gradually grown up in the eyes of reporters, and they have witnessed Hugo's growth and maturity little by little, this feeling is very subtle, on the one hand, there are some sighs on the other hand, and some suffocation and some entanglement, which is indescribable.

Hugo didn't care about the reporters behind him, he walked straight into the hotel, and the waiter immediately greeted him and politely led Hugo into the banquet hall.

At this time, the banquet hall was already full of guests, staggered, fragrant clothes and sideburns, people coming and going, so lively, Hugo saw many familiar faces at once, the partners during the filming of "Schindler's List" gathered together, and many extras who were looking for in Poland actually appeared, which made Hugo's memory immediately return to that time of sharing joys and sorrows.

When Steven Spielberg saw Hugo come in, he smiled and apologized to the guests around him, and then walked towards Hugo with a bright smile, and gave Hugo a big hug in front of him, "I'm waiting for you, everyone is waiting for you, at least ten people just asked, 'Why hasn't Hugo been there', and now I can finally explain." ”

Hugo laughed, "I'm sorry if I'm late." But I don't remember that the dinner was early, so I must have been on time. ”

"The most important hero of the crew, if he didn't arrive early, he was late." Steven's joyful smile bloomed unabashedly from behind his beard.

Although Hugo knew that this was a polite remark, he was still inevitably a little embarrassed, "Steven, are you praising me or burying me?" "The most important hero? Hugo didn't dare to take credit, "I'm just a member of the crew, I don't think I'm anything special." Even if there is someone special, it should be you. ”

"Your performance on the big screen is not humble at all, and you should learn to learn in life." Although Steven never said it directly, he clearly knew that Hugo put in the energy and effort he put into this movie, Hugo not only did his duty as an actor, but also gave him the strength to continue to persevere. In Steven's mind, Hugo does have a special meaning for the crew of "Schindler's List".

"Amon Goss? God willing, I have seen quite a few members of the Jewish Association of North America today. Hugo's eyes looked around, as if he was a little timid, which made Steven laugh directly.

Steven took two glasses of champagne from the waiter next to him and handed one to Hugo, "Green is here today, I'll have to thank him later." When Green Hill strongly persuaded Steven to say, "This actor will never let you down", Steven still felt very embarrassed, and finally only reluctantly met because of the friendship of friends, but it was this meeting that gave birth to Amon Goss, who made everyone frightened and sunk.

"Super Al? I thought he wouldn't want to be on such a movie occasion. Hugo and Green are also good friends, not only because of "Schindler's list", but also because of the reason for glory to death, so he joked more easily, "I should also toast him with a glass of wine in a while, this is what he deserves." Hugo glanced around the banquet hall, and immediately saw Green with a smile on his face, like a fish in water, and laughed, "But I don't think it's the best time, I can wait." ”

Steven followed Hugo's line of sight and saw Green talking to a beautiful and elegant young woman with a glass of red wine, and Steven also showed a knowing smile, "Yes, I can wait a little longer." He looked back at Hugo, "Oh, yes, you know, I just talked about you yesterday when I was talking to Egger. Steven seemed to suddenly remember yesterday's interesting incident and casually mentioned it.

Egger? Hugo had the name in his head, but he couldn't imagine knowing anyone named "Egger", so he didn't speak, just listened to Steven continue, "He brought up a work called, uh, 'Future Water World', and thought you would be a good fit for it." However, I am not an authority on the future of science fiction, so I should talk to George in detail. ”

"Water World of the Future"? Hugo was stunned, this was not the script that Universal Pictures handed him before, he remembered that he refused, and Joseph never mentioned it again.

It seems that Universal Pictures still hasn't given up, and feels that it can't find a breakthrough in Joseph, so it mobilized Steven, the great god, so the "George" in his words is naturally George Lucas, as for Iger...... Hugo vaguely remembers that there was a man in the top of the company named Egger Bronfman Jr. bronfman。 jr。 I'm just not sure if it's the "Egger" that Steven mentioned.

But no matter what, it is surprising that Universal Pictures values Hugo so much, after all, Hugo made people wail after taking over the filming of "vulgar". But if you think about it, with a $175 million investment in Future Waterworld, it's understandable that Universal Pictures is so cautious.

"Joe mentioned it to me before, but I chose Quentin at the time, you know." Hugo didn't beat around the bush and said honestly, but he didn't refuse directly, and still used a smile to dissolve Steven's "small talk".

Steven really laughed, "Quentin is indeed a very good director, and I heard that this time I have surprised many people again. Steven is also an old fox, and the truth is still very clear so far, he can mention the "future water world" in front of Hugo, which is already a face for his old friend, so he didn't discuss it in depth.

"Hehe, Quentin's black humor is always relaxing, and I enjoy the whole performance more than acting, so it's not amazing, at least I don't think I can surpass Amon Goss, don't believe the reporter's words." Hugo's self-teasing made Steven laugh too.

"I'm more willing to trust my eyes." Steven pointed to his eyes, one of the most important abilities in the entertainment industry is: to identify the truth of news reviews, and not to be led by reporters, film critics, and music critics, "I heard that you also took on another work?" ”

"Another work?" Hugo raised his eyebrows in some surprise, "How did I not know myself." He thought about it carefully, and he didn't sign a contract for any other works, and neither Joseph nor Samora mentioned any other works.

Steven didn't seem surprised, just paused, and then laughed, "It seems that Daryl can't wait to work with you," Steven glanced at Hugo, and then explained, "When we met for dinner before, I occasionally mentioned the casting process of the work 'Speed of Life and Death'. ”

Darryl F. Zanuk f。 Zanuck), it seems that Steven is talking about the vice president and general manager of the film production department of Twentieth Century Fox. "The Speed of Life and Death" is the work of Fox in the twentieth century.

Hugo was stunned, then smiled dumbly, "Steven, why don't I know when you started caring so much about the casting of movies?" Obviously, today Steven is looking at Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox to find out Hugo's mouth.

Needless to say, the relationship between Steven and Universal Pictures is "Jaws", "Alien E." T" and "Jurassic Park" are all collaborative works, and Steven and the management have a very good personal relationship; However, there is no well-known collaboration between Steven and Twentieth Century Fox, and it can be seen from this that Hollywood is really a very small circle, and connections can always form a cycle.

Steven didn't have any surprise or struggle in the face of Hugo's answer, but chuckled, "You know, that's how Hollywood works a lot of times. This sentence is meaningful, and Steven is implying that on the one hand, this is how the network is established, on the other hand, the unspoken rules also happen like this, and of course, the reputation of the actor is also spread in this way.

Hugo's four consecutive works have achieved impressive results, which is one of the reasons why Hugo is so popular today; But more importantly, top big names such as Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Meg Ryan, and Steven Spielberg are still full of praise for Hugo after cooperating with Hugo, which has made Hugo's reputation in the circle have changed substantially.

Steven just brought things up in a flash, believing that Hugo would understand what he meant, and then he changed the subject, "By the way, thank your agent on my behalf, I really have to thank him for the recent events." ”

"Joe?" Hugo didn't react at once, and his smile stiffened at the corners of his mouth, he didn't know what Joseph had done recently.

Steven didn't perceive Hugo's deep meaning, he just thought that his words were too vague, and Hugo didn't understand the meaning, so he nodded and explained directly, "Tracy's business." You know, this kind of gossip is never forbidden in the circle, although I don't care at all, but a fly is constantly buzzing in my ear, and it's always annoying, and Joseph really helps. ”
