As an industry operating under the hood of the spotlight, Hollywood has always been a special existence.

The wit and bravery between top stars and the paparazzi is actually a condensate. Whenever there is a paparazzi stalking, the parties are often very angry, and even fist directly at the paparazzi. They will yell at the paparazzi, "Go away! Give me some personal space." !" They have been begging to save their personal*, even confronting the paparazzi head-on, and uttering bad words.

The same is true for Hugo. He has always been very protective of his private life. He has always refused the paparazzi to invade his private space. Even because of Mr. Bond's offense against Adam, Hugo did not hesitate to directly fight the media. At this point, Hugo is the same as all other public figures.

The interesting part is here: many second-tier and third-tier artists even hope that the paparazzi will come and shoot themselves. There are many artists in Hollywood who pay the paparazzi, tell the paparazzi their position in advance, and then let them come. Candid photos. For example, taking photos of this artist dating a big-name celebrity, such as taking photos of this artist negotiating with a certain crew...and so on, creating a hot spot.

This is the perplexity of the siege. People standing outside the siege are always curious about the scene on the other side of the wall and yearn for themselves to enter the city; but after entering the siege, after the freshness disappears, they find that this is a prison, and they do their best. Want to escape, but often just useless struggle.

However, the siege of Hollywood is more special. It is not so difficult for people in the city to leave the siege. As long as they are determined, they can leave. The question is, after leaving, will they regret it?

Just like what Hugo has just experienced, when the paparazzi and fans are really as they expected and don't pay attention to them, will they really be reconciled? Will they really be satisfied? Do they really regret it?

I’m afraid it’s difficult, leaving aside those artists who have retired and were forced to leave but want to return in every possible way. Like Macaulay Culkin, people who have tasted the “smash hit” are very difficult. Willing to be mediocre. Shia LaBeouf and Justin Bieber have both said that they will retire, but it turns out that this is just another way they try to attract attention.

It's like in real life, many people always obsess about "the courage of the past", not only because it was the peak of their life, but also the scenery that flashed by can never be forgotten.

Hugo thought this was a very interesting proposition. He originally thought that he could maintain a normal mind, like choosing a script, like a glorious death activity. He has always been very calm, but the scene just now made Hugo realize that, In fact, deep down, the Hollywood Vanity Fair still affects him quietly, and Hugo is also trapped in this wall built by spotlights, applause, and cheers.

Perhaps this is the reason why Hugo has been in a bottleneck for the past six months. It is not a bottleneck in acting, but a bottleneck in music creation. It is because of the imbalance of mentality that Hugo's deep pursuit and determination for glory to death has been shaken-even if he never thought so, but in fact there was a deviation, so he could no longer determine his goal , There is no way to create the original music that belongs to the glory to death.

Isn't this a very interesting thing?

Hugo did not expect that this time it seemed that there was no special trip to Berlin, but it made him realize the changes he hadn't noticed. This was really an unexpected surprise. At the same time Hugo remembered the Berlin Film Festival twenty years later.

From the beginning of its establishment, the Berlin Film Festival was once considered as a kind of political means, but they survived through cracks and created their own world in the fierce political and cultural conflicts. Therefore, Berlin has always had a commercial attribute different from Cannes and Venice. They have always focused their attention on the work itself. The atmosphere of the professional seminar is not a mockery, but a characteristic of Berlin.

Just like the young people Hugo met just now, they are indeed excited, even screaming and flustered by seeing top stars, but they also want to focus more on the work itself than the stars. . This is a kind of culture, but also a kind of inheritance.

In Berlin, there may be no way to feel the carnival of Cannes, the bustle of Toronto and the noisy of Venice, but this kind of movie atmosphere is the strongest. During the film festival, the topics that audiences pay attention to, discuss, and are passionate about are movies. Only movies.

In these long twenty years, Berlin has always clinging to its own line obsessively and arrogantly. This has also made their attention less and less. Due to the decline in their attention, the publicity effect has naturally increased. Weak, those really good films often choose Cannes or Venice or even Toronto for better publicity. As a result, there are fewer and fewer outstanding works going to Berlin, which in turn leads to more and more outdated entries and award-winning works every year.

This forms a vicious circle. Without attention, there will be no sponsorship and no support. This also makes the prospects of the Berlin Film Festival more and more bleak, and the name of the "three major European film festivals" survives in name only.

Under this situation, the Berlin Film Festival was also forced to make changes. They also hope to increase their commercial attributes, invite more Hollywood films to participate, and even begin to pursue celebrity effects, hoping to increase their appeal. This is In the face of real life, I had to bow my head to change. But until Hugo understood the reality, he still failed to see results.

This thought made Hugo feel a little bit sad in his heart. Is there really nothing in this world that can be persisted to the end and never change?

"Hugo, look inside." The bodyguard beside him interrupted Hugo's thoughts. Through the glass door in front of him, Hugo could see the situation inside.

Compared with the scene of noisy outdoors and lack of enthusiasm, there is always a noise in the room. Hugo stepped forward and opened the door in front of him. In an instant, the swelling heat rushed into his face, and the warm enthusiasm would be behind him. The cold air was completely dissipated.

Hula la, everyone in the room turned their heads. At this moment, there was still a red carpet extending to the end of the hall. However, there were a lot of news media on both sides of the red carpet, and there were at least a hundred people on both sides of the red carpet. Hugo only had time to take a rough look, and then the flashes came on one after another, venting down like a scourge, quickly engulfing Hugo.

This is the scene that Hugo is familiar with, but after experiencing the episode just now, Hugo has not adapted to it. He feels that such a scene does not match Berlin.

After adjusting his eyesight, Hugo was able to observe the scene carefully. The scarlet carpet stretched all the way forward, with reporters standing on both sides, but the interesting thing is that there are more reporters than fans, a simple glance Hugo thinks that reporters are about twice or even three times as many as movie fans. It seems that the number of movie fans at the scene is not more than fifty. Moreover, although the movie fans are trying their best to cheer and scream enthusiastically, the reporters do everything. The face that loses control because of being too excited is the real madness.

This is a scene that cannot be imagined elsewhere, and sure enough, Berlin is so different.

The four bodyguards escorted Hugo to the red carpet, and then left from the side, bypassing the crowd of onlookers, preparing to wait for Hugo backstage, leaving the spotlight on the red carpet to Hugo alone. Hugo stepped forward and walked towards the end. Because there were not many fans, and they were not like the fans in Cannes, they were not dragging and grabbing like the fans in Cannes. On the contrary, there were people and Hugo high-five. The scene was really funny. Hugo just cost nothing. The red carpet was over in fifteen minutes.

A male host standing at the end greeted him and said with a smile, "Welcome to Berlin, Mr. Hugo Lancaster, this is Werner Heisenberg (Werner.)." After that, He took Hugo's right hand, and then touched his shoulders in a friendly way, even if he had embraced him, "Have you seen the boiling of the scene? This is the most grand scene since the opening of this year's film festival, how about it? Do you feel welcome to you by the German people?"

Is this the most grand scene since the opening? Hugo looked at the scale of less than two hundred people in front of him, and smiled very happily, "Of course, although I have only arrived here less than 24 hours, but I have deeply felt the enthusiasm from the Berlin Film Festival, leaving it for me. With a vivid impression, I have already begun to reflect on why I didn’t come here last year."

Hugo's little humor made Werner stunned, and then he laughed, "So this year is this compensation?" His thoughtless words made Hugo instead. I don't know how to answer. I don't want Werner to finish talking. He himself was overjoyed there. The fans on the scene also laughed lightly, while Hugo and the foreign reporters were calm.

Sure enough, the Germans laughed very strangely.

Werner didn’t seem to hope that Hugo would understand his humor. He quickly went on to say, “When I learned that you will be here for the film festival, to be honest, all my friends around me were excited. , I look forward to your coming. It’s like the arrival of the Pope."

What kind of humor is this? Hugo only felt that his head was full of question marks, and he had not had such difficulty communicating with Roland and Allen before. But Werner continued to speak fluently. Obviously he was used to it. "The reporters and fans on the scene today have many questions that I want to ask you personally, so I won’t take up everyone’s time, you Are you ready to get close to the Berlin Film Festival?"

Turning his head, Hugo saw a pair of wolf-like eyes. From Los Angeles to Berlin, they were probably suffocated. This made Hugo's mouth a smile. "If I'm not ready, yes Isn't it possible to cancel this link?"

This... Isn't it appropriate? ()
