Hugo looked at the woman quietly, the lazy and misty green eyes were like refreshing emeralds, shining in the hazy milky yellow light, with an irresistible magic slowly spreading in the air, the distance of half the hall not only did not make him feel alienated, but made him feel that the two of them were closer than ever, as if he only needed to raise his hand and gently shake it, as if he could hold the red marriage line.

Hugo's right hand hung down at his side, and he couldn't help but clench it into a fist slightly, suppressing the impulse in his heart, but even so, his right hand was gently raised.

At this moment, the figure of a fair woman fluttered in, blocking Hugo's vision, and the red bond was cut in an instant, which dispelled the fog in Hugo's mind in a blink of an eye. Raised to the middle of the air, the right hand grasped in the air in nothingness, but only grabbed a piece of ethereal air, stiffened and paused in the air for a few seconds, and finally put it down weakly.

Charlize looked at the man quietly, and had to admit that the man had a pair of thrilling eyes, and the clear amber color bloomed with an indescribable charm under the warm halo of the room, which made people accidentally fall into the world of those eyes. Then it slowly falls...... Falling slowly......

Charlize felt her heart stop beating suddenly, and then slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly falling from the sky, the shivering sensation that surged deep into her soul made her eyes begin to warm, and her chest stirred with indescribable inconsistency. Half a hall away, but it made her feel like the two of them were close at hand, as if it wasn't until today that she really knew the man for the first time.

"Hey, Charlize." A figure floated in, blocking all the sight in front of him, which made Charlize a little flustered, and couldn't help lowering his eyes to cover his emotions, but then he barely suppressed the inner turmoil and raised his eyes again, seeing Gwyneth Paltrow in front of him, Charlize was inexplicably a little annoyed.

Charlize gritted his teeth lightly, then showed a proper smile, "I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?" Charlize saw that Gwyneth's perfect smile began to solidify and shatter in an instant, as if a crack had begun to appear in a delicate piece of porcelain. This made the smile on the corner of Charlize's mouth can't help but hook up again.

Hugo stood still, adjusted his breathing, and took another step to walk towards Charlize, but the footsteps only landed, and after hesitating for two seconds, Hugo still changed direction and walked to the other side. I saw Robert Iger standing not far away.

Robert also saw Hugo, and walked over to him with a shallow smile, "I hope I haven't disturbed your purity." This sentence turned a few corners, first ridiculing the excitement of Hugo's rare lack of surrounding, then ridiculing the confrontation between James and Hugo tonight, and finally showing his friendliness and modesty. In a nutshell, Robert always knows what to say to make people happy.

The corners of Hugo's mouth couldn't help but outline a shallow arc, "I will forgive you for your faux pas." This answer also stunned Robert, and then he laughed brightly, and then Hugo took the initiative to speak, "I thought you would be very busy right now. There was a slight tone of speculation and rhetorical questioning, as if he were chatting, but in fact he was spying on Robert.

If Robert really had nothing to ask for, and Hugo's previous conjectures about him were wrong, then Robert would certainly be able to find the most appropriate language to answer; But now was the best time for Robert to speak—Robert was a clever man, and he must have heard the spying tone of Hugo's words, and his intentions were exposed.

In order to avoid embarrassment, in order to maintain face, and in order to maintain an advantage, at this moment, he can completely suppress all the true requests in his heart and continue to circle with Hugo, but then he must spend more time and more energy to "lie", and then find the opportunity to have a showdown again, which is bound to cost more favors.

So, if Robert really wants something, then this is the perfect time. It's a very simple account, and it's up to Robert to figure it out.

Robert didn't seem surprised by Hugo's directness, he just pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and his warm eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, which was fleeting, Hugo didn't notice it at all, and Robert quickly covered up his emotions, "I'm waiting for you tonight, just now you have been busy, and there is a lot of noise around, it is definitely not a good time to talk about things, so I am waiting on the side." ”

Robert was so straightforward that he almost confessed all his hole cards. But it was precisely because of Robert's straightforwardness that Hugo immediately understood that this was Robert's strategy - after being seen through, he said all the purposes very calmly, but in fact, even though Hugo knew that this was Robert's strategy, he did not have any dislike and rejection.

This is the credit of Robert's previous contacts, and Robert's humble and polite demeanor left a deep impression on Hugo. Obviously this game of chess Robert started at the opening ceremony of "Truman's World", and after half a year passed, even if Hugo did not want to, he became a part of the chessboard.

I have to admit that Robert, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, left a deep impression on Hugo, even though Hugo has seen many bigwigs who currently control Hollywood, and still admires Robert. No wonder...... It's no wonder that Robert could lead Disney to Hollywood dominance in a decade.

However, Hugo also knew that Robert's confession was precisely a trap, and he definitely did not fully confess. Hugo chuckled, "Hehe, I feel panic. All eyes were on Mr. Cameron tonight, and I was just a small supporting actor and I was able to get so much attention, which is the best compliment I've ever heard tonight. ”

"If even Hugo Lancaster said that, then I really wouldn't have to be here." Robert naturally heard the sarcasm in Hugo's words, but he didn't panic at all, and still talked freely with a smile on his face, "In my opinion, tonight's victory and defeat is just a stage, and there is still a long way to go, no matter who it is." "It's a hint at traditionalism and reformism," you think? ”

Robert was impressed by Hugo's intelligence.

The reason why the struggle between the traditionalists and the reformists is so fierce is not because the eight major Hollywood studios are blinded by profits, on the contrary, they all know very well that the victory of either side does not mean the disappearance of the other, and the battle for market share in the future has only begun tonight. However, the large companies controlled by Wall Street must make the most suitable decision for the market, which is in the best interest, which is why they are concerned about the reason for the victory or defeat.

But Robert was able to jump out of this framework and calmly look at the victory of the "Titanic", which is very rare. At least on this night, there are absolutely only a handful of people who can keep this cool head.

Hugo is like a mirror because he has lived through this period of history, but what about Robert? Is it because he is so intelligent, or is it because he is now in charge of ABC and is half an outsider, so he sees it so thoroughly, or is it both?

"So, do you think feature films still have a lot of promise?" Hugo took the initiative again, picked out the hidden meaning in his words, and attacked directly.

Robert was still unhurried and showed a big smile, "Standing in front of me is the winner of the Best Original Screenplay Award, what do you say?" He did not answer directly, but gave a hint in such a clever way; And it is worth noting that Robert did not mention Hugo's identity as a producer of "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect", but emphasized Hugo's identity as a screenwriter, which is really intriguing.

"I have always agreed with Mr. Ernst Lechmann's statement that the most moving films are always those emotions that come from life that move the most people's hearts." Robert chose this moment to counterattack, and chose Ernst as the breakthrough point, which is definitely a good calculation.

In fact, Ernst also said this to Hugo, when Hugo was writing the script "Before Sunrise". Why do romance movies always endure? In fact, after a century of development in romance movies, almost all routines have been told countless times, and just one story of "Cinderella" has been remade hundreds of times, but it is still enjoyable, putting aside those princely charming fantasies, the reason why these stories move people is because of "love", the eternal theme of the human heart.

The same is true of "Perfection", which is not only a love story, but also a touching story of three people who are isolated from the mainstream of society but are trying to integrate into society and pursue perfection; "L.A. Confidential" tells the moving melody of justice and dreams, and "Titanic" is the most touching poignant love at the end of the century.

Robert's words made Hugo stunned, and he admitted that he was once again moved by Robert's cleverness, and even though he knew that it was all Robert's calculation, he still had to agree with Robert's words. Hugo narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked carefully at Robert in front of him, this unattractive man did not show any edge at all, but he was still able to control the situation, this ability is really amazing - Michael Eisner, the "tyrant" who ruled Disney for twenty years, lost at his hands and lost unjustly.

Robert calmly accepted Hugo's scrutiny, and waited quietly for Hugo to finish his scrutiny, then showed an elegant smile, "This is not a suitable place to talk about work, why don't we go to the balcony outside to breathe?" ”
