1959.Chapter 1959 The curtain of war opens

"Won't you feel sorry for missing the Grammys not so long ago?" Nicholas McLaan couldn't help but feel a little funny when he looked at Hugo, who was obediently standing in front of the dressing mirror and being fiddled with by the designer, but he still forced a smile and did his job.

Today is the day of the Oscars, Hugo rushed back to Los Angeles the day before yesterday, and the dress for the ceremony has naturally been prepared - this year, it is not Burberry that wins Hugo's favor, but a cutting-edge designer, who just became a brand of Yves Saint Laurent Left Bank (YSL) at the end of last year. Rive。 Gauche) of Eddie Sleeman (Hedi. Slimane)。

Compared to Hollywood, where big names are gathered, Eddie can only be regarded as a budding rising star, but in the fierce competition, he successfully became Hugo's stylist, which is also considered a golden opportunity for Eddie. Eddie flew from France to Los Angeles a month ago, and made more than 20 adjustments to Hugo's costume design, which shows his intentions.

Today, Eddie still insisted on letting Hugo try it on, and found that Hugo's figure was slightly thinner, which made him have to make some more detailed adjustments.

Hugo was now standing in front of the dressing mirror, obediently spreading his hands, like a mummy, he exhaled lightly and adjusted, but he didn't want Eddie to raise his head, "Hugo, please don't move, okay?" This made Hugo purse his lips, "It seems that today I will be like those actresses, I will not be able to walk an inch on the red carpet." "This is the case with many actresses when they walk on the red carpet, they have to hold their breath to avoid their excessive actions from ruining the original shape of their clothes, and they have to walk carefully.

This time Nicholas finally couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, while Eddie glanced at Hugo helplessly, which made Hugo raise his hands again and show his innocence with a shallow smile, "Nick, what did you just ask?" ”

"Grammy." Nicholas repeated again, "This year you made history again," said Long. Long。 Way。 To。 Go)' won the Production of the Year award, and you became the first person in history to dominate the award four years in a row, but you were absent, don't you feel sorry? ”

On the just-concluded 40th Grammys, Glory to Death only won a gramophone trophy, which was the final Best Production Award of the Year, which not only made Glory to Death gain something in the Grammys for four consecutive years, but also created an unprecedented first in history: Hugo won the Best Production of the Year Award for four consecutive years, and the favor of the Grammys can be seen.

Although only one gramophone has been on the books, the award is quite a heavyweight given that "Storm" swept eight trophies last year, and that there has been almost no musical activity for the past year - all the time behind the scenes.

All the members of Glory to Death were absent that night, and the last person to take the stage to accept the award was Honor to Death's royal recording engineer and producer, Hieran Laikunin.

"Huh." Hugo was amused by Nicholas's excited tone, but quickly reined in, showed an apologetic smile to Eddie, and then said, "There is nothing to regret," Hugo's light tone can be heard that open-mindedness and relief, after experiencing so many ups and downs, Hugo's mood has completely stabilized, "My recent life is also very fulfilling, there are many important things in life, work is a part, dreams are a part, our relatives and friends are also part of it." ”

"So, you've been on vacation with your family lately?" Nicholas asked the question.

Hugo looked down and smiled, "You can say that, but I won't respond positively. ”

Nicholas glanced at Hugo speechlessly, didn't it make it clear that he would not be published in the newspaper, "Then what do you expect from tonight?" Both of your works have become biggest hits, do you have any further thoughts on the Golden Man? Nicholas was not going to let go of Hugo easily when he was able to get an exclusive interview before the awards ceremony, because he knew that when Hugo walked the red carpet, there would be chaos.

"No, no, I think the 'Titanic' is the biggest hit." Hugo was definitely not polite, but to tell the truth, "I made a bet with Leo, I think he will definitely win, but he thinks it's a 'L.A. confidential', so we'll look forward to the result together." ”

"I think James L. Brooks is going to be sad." Nicholas's words made Hugo grit his teeth, because it was really hard to laugh. Even Eddie, who was busy, couldn't help but laugh, which made Hugo directly roll his eyes in frustration.

"It looks like I've chosen the wrong time, it's not the right time." A voice came from the side, interrupting Nicholas's triumphant laughter.

Hugo had no way to turn back, he could only look through the refraction of the dressing mirror, and what he saw was the image of a man in an iron-gray suit, but he couldn't see the face, so he couldn't guess who it was. The man stood ten paces away, politely and reservedly, as if waiting for his master's permission to come nearer, a courtesy that made his intention to converse seem not offensive at all.

"Mr. Robert Iger." Nicholas's voice gave Hugo an answer, "Why are you here, don't tell me that you came to choose an evening dress." "This is Yves Saint Laurent's flagship store in Los Angeles, so anyone can come. It's just that Hugo is sitting on the second floor, temporarily denied visitors to visit, giving Eddie enough space to devote himself to it. Robert was able to go up to the second floor, apparently an exception.

As soon as Nicholas came up, he played his true colors as a reporter and asked Robert about his intentions, and Robert was not too repulsed, but just showed a smile, "I came here to pick up the evening dress, and I was also honored to receive an invitation to the Oscar night tonight to attend the evening party, I don't want to be rude on this star-studded occasion." "I heard that Hugo is upstairs, and I don't think it's rude to say hello and leave, and I don't want to leave a bad impression on Hugo." ”

Robert's frankness but not loss of proportion immediately awakened Hugo's memory. Hugo was still recalling: who the hell is Robert Iger, and now it immediately sounds, this is the current CEO of ABC TV, who was suspected of having a relationship with Hugo as a representative of Disney at the "Truman's World" boot party last time.

Robert was deeply impressed by Hugo at that time, and it is the same today, even if Hugo did not see Robert's expression now, the spring breeze conversation awakened Hugo's memory.

"Why do I feel a little itchy in my ears? Is someone talking about me behind my back? Hugo's words made both Nicholas and Robert look at them, and they both realized that the two of them had forgotten Hugo as a party by talking to themselves. At this time, Hugo was still standing in place like a mummy, unable to move.

Hearing Hugo's words, Robert took a step forward, as if he had Hugo's permission, he walked to Hugo's front, "It's a pleasure to see you again, Hugo." Robert stretched out his right hand and tried to shake Hugo's right hand, but seeing Hugo's stiff posture, he finally patted Hugo's palm instead, as if he was high-fived, quite childish, "I hope you can have good luck tonight, I made a bet with a group of friends, I put all the bets on you, so I will overlap my fingers for you!" ”

"That's great, blessings are always welcome, aren't they? Just hope that the results don't disappoint, otherwise the blessing turns into a curse, and that's bad. Hugo's teasing revealed his good mood.

Robert didn't speak, but raised his right hand, his middle finger and index finger overlapped, and then gestured, so that both of them looked at each other and smiled, "Okay, I won't disturb your work, see you at the party in the evening." With that, Robert politely said goodbye and left, as if he really had just come to say hello.

"Hugo, is this Mr. Egger really just here to say hello?" Nicholas sniffed something unusual in the air, and he carefully recalled, "I recently heard that Disney seems to be interested in creating a major work, did they fancy you?" You just had a great conversation. ”

After Nicholas's reminder, Hugo also realized that the whole process of the two meetings with Robert was very relaxed and pleasant, which was abnormal. Even Kevin Burns and Ron Meyer, Hugo was always wary when talking to them, because he knew that these bigwigs were foxes who decided the fate of many people in the midst of laughter. Robert was one of them, but Hugo was not aware of the vigilance. Is Robert not aggressive, or is Robert too sophisticated?

"I don't know anything about it, so why don't you tell me what's going on?" Thoughts flashed in his mind, and Hugo replied without pause, but in his heart he was secretly conjecturing: What kind of medicine is sold in Disney's gourd?

When Nicholas saw Hugo's Tai Chi, he knew that he couldn't dig up the news, but he wrote down the matter in his heart, and planned to go back and inquire about it, maybe it was an exclusive, but his mouth said, "Hehe, let's focus on tonight first." You look amazing right now, Eddie is doing such a great job, can designers always work such wonderful magic? God, I'm already looking forward to your appearance on the red carpet! ”
