Walking into the Dorothy Chandler Hall, Hugo saw the still noisy guests. Almost no one was seated. Everyone stood in their positions and in the aisles, greeting people they knew. The whole hall is very lively.

Most of the people sitting in the middle of the hall are staff from the technical department of the film crew. Hugo knows many of them. After rolling in Hollywood over the years, after shooting so many works, more and more familiar faces have begun. Let Hugo slow down.

From a distance, Hugo saw Harvey Weinstein chatting with Warren Beatty. Harvey lifted his chin at him, and said hello, Hugo also smiled and nodded. In fact, in Hugo’s current success, the Weinstein brothers have important works. Behind the great success of "Pulp Fiction" are the driving effects of these two brothers. This work makes Hugo in the minds of independent filmmakers. Achieving an unshakable position is also an important part of Hugo's journey to the present.

However, with the steadily rising of the Hugo career, the opportunities for cooperation between the Weinstein brothers' leading Miramax Films and him gradually began to decrease. Miramax Films is an independent production company, and Hugo has never left the field of independent films, but the biggest reason for the lack of communication between the two is that Disney-Disney under the leadership of Michael Esner, for his subordinates The control of Miramax is very strict. After Miramax Pictures was acquired by Disney in 1993, the fledgling Weinstein brothers really had a hard time getting involved.

Therefore, now the Hugo and Weinstein brothers can only be regarded as nodding acquaintances.

Just as Hugo was about to withdraw his gaze, he found Harvey walking in his direction, and then Bob Weinstein, who was standing not far away, also came with Gwyneth Paltrow. . This surprised Hugo. He looked around and made sure that the two brothers had indeed come to him, but he was wondering why they were looking for him. If it was just a greeting on social occasions, the nod just now would be enough. .

Before thinking about it, Harvey walked up to Hugo first, "Long time no see, Hugo." Harvey gave Hugo a hug enthusiastically, the bright smile on his face looked very kind, "The last time I met was Where did it come from? It's on Fifth Avenue in New York? Right?"

Hugo nodded and expressed his affirmation, "Your memory is obviously better than mine." The last time they met was probably during the "Trumen's World" screening promotion, when "Trumen's World" and Gwyneth's " "Super-perfect murder" has become a hot topic for a while.

Hugo didn't think much about it at that time, thinking that it was normal for the Weinstein brothers to appear in New York. But now when I think about it, it's not that simple. Because the "super-perfect murder" was also promoted in New York at the time, and Gwyneth has now become a favorite of the Weinstein brothers. Perhaps, since then, the Weinstein brothers have already begun to lay out.

Harvey shook his head heartily, "It's not that I have a better memory than you, but that I need to remember more things than you." This sentence is meaningful and worthy of careful consideration.

However, Hugo didn't have time, because Bob and Gwyneth had already arrived in a blink of an eye. Bob's first reaction was, "It's been eight months since we last met, right?" Precise memory. It's really amazing.

Hugo glanced over, and then saw Gwyneth standing in Bob’s arms. Bob’s right hand was placed on Gwyneth’s waist in a regular manner, so it looked like this in anyone’s eyes. No guessing, just a gentleman's politeness. But Hugo noticed the slight difference. Gwyneth seemed to be standing seriously, but she was leaning towards Bob, as if...like a snuggle, the kind of subtle chemical reaction, It's hard to describe in words, but Hugo's eyes stayed on Gwyneth for a while.

Gwyneth seemed to perceive the gaze in Hugo's sight, which made her a little embarrassed. She straightened up a little bit, moved a little step, and seemed to be trying to increase the distance between her and Bob—obviously This is almost impossible, because Bob’s right hand is on her waist, and the distance between the two is still less than a palm distance, but Gwyneth is still moving slightly, as if she wants to pass Show your position in this way.

"Recently, several of your works have had an extraordinary response. It is really admirable." Harvey's voice made Hugo withdraw his eyes, which made Gwyneth a sigh of relief. She felt that Hugo's eyes looked like cow hair. Like a needle, she was constantly examining her every move, which reminded her of the shame she had suffered in the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew.

Gwyneth turned her head cautiously and glanced at Bob, and found that Bob didn't seem to notice her abnormality at all, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm shy to hear this. The "Shakespeare Love History" that everyone really talks about recently, if I remember correctly, is it the work you made?" Hugo renewed his compliment with a fluttering remark. Pushed back.

Harvey laughed immediately. It can be seen that he is indeed in a good mood, "It is my honor to be able to make everyone like it. I have no direct relationship with the work itself. I am just a promoter who is responsible for I recommend excellent works to everyone, and I hope everyone can enjoy the movie more. That's it."

Harvey's humble words reveal strong self-confidence. It can be seen that he believes that "Shakespeare in Love" is definitely the proud work of the two brothers. From not being optimistic about the early stage of the awards season, to the current Oscar winning favorite, the Weinstein brothers really played well in this public relations battle.

In later generations, people once joked that the Oscar was "Weinstein's Oscar", and even later, the works promoted behind the scenes by the Weinstein brothers were no longer strong, people instead ridiculed "Weinstein's midlife crisis." It seems that in people's eyes, Oscar has completely become the game of the Weinstein brothers. This may be just a joke, but it can be seen that the two brothers have tremendous influence and control over the academy.

Now, the Weinstein brothers have demonstrated outstanding abilities. But compared to them five years later, the great success of this year's first awards season still made them a little overwhelmed-especially the person in front of them is Hugo, and their previous friendship also made them relax their vigilance.

Before Harvey's voice fell, Bob next to him said politely, "We are flattered when Hugo said that. You know, tonight's Truman's World is the real hot spot." Strong self-confidence can hardly conceal, it seems to have foreshadowed: they are determined to win the best picture award!

Hugo knows that the trajectory of history is like this. The Weinstein brothers' pride is not groundless, but complete.

"Haha, in private communication, my best film was voted for'Saving Private Ryan'." Hugo said with an unpredictable expression, but the content of the words made both Harvey and Bob laugh. stand up. Hugo's words are actually showing weakness. He believes that "Trumen's World" is not eligible to win the championship, so he supports Steven Spielberg, "So, I hope you don't mind too much."

Gwyneth could perceive Hugo's fear of the Weinstein brothers, which rekindled her confidence. She remembered that Bob told her last night that, if nothing else, she would have won the Best Actress Award tonight, and the probability was as high as 80%.

Thinking of this, Gwyneth's spine could not help but straighten up. She knew that she was at a different level from those women, what Cameron Diaz, what Charlize Theron, what Sandra Bullock... That’s how Hugo’s vision is, and Some women who are of poor quality do not understand the value hidden in her at all. Just like Brad Pitt, I can't afford to support Doo! Looking at the two years since Brad broke up with her, it was a mess. There was no improvement in his career. It is estimated that in the future, he will only be able to show off that pair of skins.

Tonight, she will step on Charlize's body to aspire to the Queen of Shadows. She can't wait to see Hugo's regretful expression-he will definitely regret rejecting him! At that time, even if he begged himself on his knees, he wouldn't give him a second chance.

Gwyneth raised her chin slightly and looked at Hugo condescendingly—they stood on the top of the steps, and Hugo stood on the low. This is the usual trick of the Weinstein brothers often Psychological cues have been brought before people can detect it. Gwyneth carefully looked at Hugo's face that drove countless people mad, and thought carefully, "If he is willing to lick my toes, maybe I will nod and promise him."

"Actually, your performance in'Trumen's World' is also very good..." Gwyneth approached Bob again, clinging to Bob's shoulder lightly, and said in a regretful tone, as if she was right there. Say: Although your performance is good, it's a pity...

Hugo raised his eyes and looked at Gwyneth’s graceful swan-like neck curve, showing the swan-like arrogance and grace, a slight smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, "I think so too, just like Charlize The performance in the "Female. Devil" is so good. Not bad."

Hugo's soft words were heard in Gwyneth's ears, but they were harsh, making her right hand clenched tightly. At this moment, she felt the heat of Bob's palm coming from her waist. She looked down at Bob, and then found firm and calm confidence in Bob's eyes, as if she was saying: Why bother about this? Anyway, the Xiaojin people are all yours, so you can do whatever you want.

This made Gwyneth loose her palm again, exhaled a long breath, showed a perfect and elegant smile, and said to Hugo as a queen, "Good luck to you tonight."
