Hugo took the elevator to the third floor. Before stepping out of the elevator, he heard a loud noise outside, which made Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise. The third floor is the hotel’s breakfast and dining area, but he was already a little late today. Some thought they avoided the peak breakfast period, but it turned out to be so lively outside.

Joseph went out first, Hugo followed closely, and then he saw Joseph stop and gave Hugo a helpless look. Because of Joseph's big size-the weight loss plan never worked, Hugo turned aside, saw the noise in front of him, gave Joseph a roll of eyes, then quickly adjusted his expression, with a polite smile on the corner of his mouth.

Mark Canton came to face him with a smile on his face, "Look, who is this." He was looking forward to Hugo, but he wanted to make a surprised expression, "I didn't expect you to have breakfast at this time. It seems that today has a wonderful start."

"If this sentence was said by Shirley behind you, I would be more happy." Hugo's ridicule made Mark haha ​​laugh, and then he turned his head along with Hugo's eyes, Shirley -Lansing's smiling face came on, and Mark couldn't help but cursed inwardly, "Shark", but his expression did not change, and he took the initiative to greet him, "Hey, Shirley, why didn't he see Ralph?"

Just one sentence implies a fact: Shirley and Ralph Fiennes had a very happy conversation just now, and they are closely related.

In response to Mark's suggestion, Shirley's eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't panic, and said generously, "Ralph is behind. He knew Hugo was coming and said he would definitely come and say hello." During the conversation, Xue Xue Li walked to the side and greeted Hugo. "Ralph said, "Schindler's List" was invited to the interview at the beginning, but unfortunately you were a step ahead, but he wanted to have a good time with you. Talk."

This obviously refers to Ralph Fiennes. After the "British Patient" starring in the movie was released at the end of last year, it was a blessing, winning both box office and word-of-mouth, and he himself received a lot of praise.

Mark opened his mouth and wanted to interrupt, but he quickly stopped, just standing beside him quietly with a smile on his face. Because Mark also realized that he is always easy to be anxious-although most of the time, this is not a big problem, but in front of old foxes like Shirley, it is often easy to lose the first opportunity, so he needs a little control.

Shirley walked to Hugo's side naturally, while Joseph and Mark walked side by side, followed closely behind.

Entering the breakfast dining area, it is not much different from ordinary dining rooms. You can see that square tables for four are scattered, but at this time, more than two-thirds of the tables are seated by guests, which makes the entire breakfast meal. The area is very lively, even if no one makes a loud noise, but just whispers in a low voice, the sound gathered together makes the whole corridor reverberate continuously.

Seeing Hugo walking in, many people turned their heads and waved or nodded at Hugo with smiles. This hotel was originally one of the three official hotels of the Berlin Film Festival, so the people living here at this time were almost all industry insiders, not only the crews of films from all over the world, but also reporters from all corners of the world flocking to interview.

However, these faces seemed so strange in Hugo's sight-the face blindness patient was dying.

Hugo sat down at a vacant four-person dining table, and Mark and Shirley naturally sat down beside them. Together with Joseph, the seat was immediately full. After the other people who were a bit slower, it seemed that, I can only stand still for the time being. Both Mark and Shirley were not rushing, chatting with Hugo about the works that were screened at the Berlin Film Festival in the past few days, which aroused Hugo's interest.

During the period, Ralph came over to say hello, and then Luc Besson arrived as expected—it is certain that Mark’s confident work is indeed the “fifth element”. But today Mark didn't make it clear, and Hugo pretended not to know, and they still had a good chat.

After breakfast was used up, at coffee time, Ron Meyer and Robert Shaye made their debut. Mark and Shirley were very acquainted and found an excuse to give up their positions. What surprised Hugo the most was that Michael Roselle also came over to greet him.

Since Michael didn't say much, he just greeted him and expressed his expectation for the next performance of "Blurry Rain". The direct result was that until Michael left, Hugo didn't know who he was— —Because he had never met the head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Marjana Blyrican, or Michael Roselle before.

"Who was that person just now?" Waiting Lang and Robert left one after another, and then sent away the editors of the Bild and the Film Manual. Hugo finally had the opportunity to ask Joseph quietly.

Joseph naturally knew Hugo's problems. Those who met for the first time introduced themselves, so he knew who Hugo was talking about immediately, and he explained it in a low voice. As a result, Hugo not only failed to solve his doubts, but looked at Joseph more confused, because he really did not understand what the head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had to do with him, just like the dean of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences suddenly It doesn't make sense to appear in front of Hugo!

But before Hugo could speak, Joseph gave Hugo a look. Hugo immediately turned his head, cheered up, and saw Barry Meyer in front of him.

"Hey, Barry, do you need a cup of coffee?" Joseph took the initiative to say hello, then turned to Hugo and said in a low voice, "Warner."

Barry noticed Joseph's movements, but didn't care. These top big guys in Hollywood know that Hugo can’t remember a person’s face, let alone a person’s name. Almost every meeting requires a reminder from Joseph or Samora. There was even a time when Hugo met Kevin Pence when he was alone. , The two chatted for twenty minutes. When Kevin left, Hugo found Joseph and asked "Who is that?" This was heard by Steven Spielberg, who was standing by, and it became Laugh in the circle.

Interestingly, Michael Russell did not know about this.

Barry took the initiative to extend his right hand to Hugo, "I think there are too many guests here today, thinking that if I don't show up, it will definitely be rude." Barry is also very direct, but compared to Mark , He was more sleek, the same or similar words he said with a hint of joking and ridicule, the whole atmosphere seemed relaxed.

Hugo couldn't help laughing at Barry's bluntness, "You know, the hotel lobby has always been so busy."

As Barry said, except for Kevin who just said hello from a distance and did not come over, almost all other important people showed up in front of Hugo. Although there was no discussion about business matters, you can still feel that Hugo is now. Influence on the film industry. But Hugo interpreted it in such an ingenious way, which made Barry laugh.

"If the hotel lobby manager is so charming, then I would like to live in this hotel every time." Barry finished with a joke, and covered his mouth, whispered, "The premise is not to tell me. The wife knows." Hugo and Joseph both laughed.

Hugo directly raised his hands and surrendered, indicating that he had nothing to say.

Barry didn't have any special expressions. He sat up straight again and said with a smile, "As far as I know, you are very interested in American culture in the 1960s and 1970s." Hugo was puzzled. The expression, obviously did not understand what Barry's words meant, but Barry was not in a hurry, and then said, "That was the most prosperous era of rock and roll."

People all over the world know the importance of Glory to Death to Hugo, and now Glory to Death is making history step by step, and it makes people see Hugo’s talents. The album "Blurry Rain" is awakening. This generation's memories of that golden age. Therefore, what Barry is talking about is a well-known fact, but his interpretation is very interesting, starting with the culture of the 60s and 70s.

Sure enough, Hugo showed a surprised expression, "It is true. In fact, it was an era of cultural explosion, and countless thoughts and concepts had impacts. I grew up in this atmosphere. So I am very concerned about that era. Very interested." To be more precise, a lot of cultural traces from the 60s and 70s can also be found in "Pulp Fiction", not only rock, not just retro, Hugo is more of those years There are many interests in society, economy, culture, and ideological formation.

"Then you must have some understanding of the 1950s." Hugo was stunned by Barry's words Hugo shook his head. He really didn't know much about that era. Barry laughed, "Hugo, you read classical literature. You should know better than me that the inheritance of culture is closely related to society. It is not the right way to separate the ages."

Barry is right. If you really like the culture of a certain age, even if you don’t need to know the past and the future, you still need to understand it. However, Hugo felt that it was quite contrary, because no top boss would talk to him about cultural inheritance, and when the object was Barry, it became even more weird.

Barry Meyer, the head of Warner Bros., the most greedy, cunning, and decisive decision maker among the top helms of the eight major Hollywood studios, he actually talked to himself about cultural heritage? This……

"If you study carefully, you will find that Los Angeles in the 1950s is like San Francisco in the middle of the last century. It is a golden place that makes everyone's eyes and enthusiastic, sunshine, beauties, handy wealth and Hollywood movies. Industry is intertwined with a very seductive and human scene." Barry's next words are still not abnormal, but the smile on the corner of his mouth reveals some clues.

In the fifties? Los Angeles? A ray of thought flashed in Hugo's mind, and he quickly wanted to catch it, which made Hugo's eyes flash of curiosity.
