On March 21, 1999, it was destined to be a sleepless night. So many things happened on this night, so that people had no way to sort out their thoughts at all. They had to calm down and slowly Thinking back to the countless gorgeous moments.
Hugo walked quickly into the Sunset Tower Hotel, looked around, did not see Charlize, Leonardo stayed not far from the entrance, and when he saw Hugo coming in, he quickly greeted him. He pressed his elbow against Hugo's waist with a smile, "How about it? Is it all clear?"
Hugo's expression was also a bit tangled, "I think so." His words were clear, but he didn't know how the reporters would react.
Leonardo saw Hugo's appearance, but he burst into laughter, with an expression of gloat, but he still put Hugo on his shoulder and patted his chest, "Don't worry, the reporters are turning over and over again. Are you familiar with those tricks? So, there is nothing to worry about."
Hugo let out a long sigh, "That's true." His mood relaxed.
"Charlize and Sandra went to look for Nicole. A group of women are talking about tonight's dress..." Leonardo rolled his eyes, with the disgust and rejection of "Thank you Bumin" on his face, "Let's go. , We went to find Steven, he just came to ask you specifically, it seems that something is looking for you."
When they met Steven, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg were all beside him. Before Hugo could react, the three gave Hugo a warm hug and made Hugo foggy. Shui, "Hey, hey, what's the matter? You all owe me money?" Hugo's words made all three of them laugh.
However, they did not refute Hugo’s words, but exchanged their sights. In the end, Steven took the initiative to say, “Of course we owe you the money, and the 60 million yuan of the'Beautiful Mind' has not yet been paid. Here you are, isn't it?" This made Hugo suddenly realize, nodding his head with an expression of "natural", Steven continued, "To be honest, this time I really have to thank you, without your reminder, maybe... "Steven was half talking, but Hugo could vaguely feel what he was talking about. Sure enough, Steven's subsequent words confirmed Hugo's conjecture, "So, what do you think is going on? How do you know this... uh..."
"Awarding season." David took over Steven's topic, and then he saw Jeffery nodding seriously beside him. Leonardo stood by with a calm face.
Hugo raised his eyebrows and looked back and found the Weinstein brothers in the crowd. They had returned to normal at this time, with a polite smile on their faces, and they had a good chat with others. However, Gwyneth was not seen beside them, and she didn't know where she had gone.
"Why do you think that a movie like Shakespeare in Love can lead all the works in the nomination stage?" Hugo was prepared for today's situation, so he didn't panic at all, and said with a smile, "Because Oscar is a In addition to the authoritative and professional awards ceremony, they are also the most successful business event in the world..." Hugo had only finished saying this, and Steven wanted to refute Hugo, but Hugo shook his head. "No, you know what I said is correct. The reason why the Oscar's attention is so high is because of the good commercial promotion; similarly, the reason why the Oscars are so important is because the additional commercial value is difficult to calculate. If not So, why the most famous awards ceremony in the world is not the Berlin Film Festival or the Venice Film Festival, why the major film companies do not participate in the Sundance Film Festival or the Independent Spirit Award, not even the Golden Globe...but the Oscars."
Hugo's words are a bit one-sided, because Oscar's current position is the result of the right time and place, and the precipitation of time has pushed Oscar to where it is today. But no one can deny Hugo's words, because this is a fact.
Oscar is a game. It has been a game since its inception. Only after "Jaws", the rules of this game began to become complicated; and after "Terminator 2", the evolution of this game came to a brand new one. Height; after the "Titanic", the rules of the game quietly changed again.
"Of course, for filmmakers, the Oscar statuette represents affirmation, just like the Directors’ Guild Award and Screenwriter’s Guild Award. This is the affirmation of authoritative professional opinions. However, businessmen always look at problems from a different perspective, don’t they?” Yu If such a simple sentence reveals all the problems.
Why did the first year of the awards season appear at the end of 1998 instead of 1997 or 1999? Because the success of "Independence Day" laid the groundwork, and the glory of "Titanic" promoted the advent of the blockbuster era, Wall Street's emphasis on Hollywood is increasing day by day; because in 1998, the balance of commercial films and art films appeared to tilt. In recent years, with the maturity of computer special effects, commercial films are becoming the mainstream of Hollywood step by step; because only a year ago, Oscar chose "Titanic" as the best film, which was affirmed from the official standpoint...
Hidden behind the first year of the awards season is the inevitability of historical development.
What makes the Weinstein brothers outstanding lies in their brilliant tongues and public relations skills; but their even more outstanding lies in their understanding of the times and their grasp of historical development.
Steven, David and Jeffery were all lost in thought. These three big men obviously knew how earth-shattering news was hidden behind Hugo's remarks. Especially for the awards season that just ended, if there is no reminder from Hugo, perhaps the ending of the Oscar tonight will be completely different-hidden behind the victory of "Saving Private Ryan", it is the coming of "Shakespeare's Love History". It is not accidental that 13 nominations lead the nomination stage.
Leonardo was not interested in these company-level and industrial-level things at this time. He almost fell asleep standing next to him. Had Hugo still stayed here, he would have found an excuse to sneak away. Leonardo winked at Hugo secretly, as if saying, "Let's go to the bar..."
In fact, Hugo did not intend to continue the discussion, because his understanding of these issues is also very limited. It is only the historical development context, and if he really wants to say one reason, he is like squeezing toothpaste. He also squeezed for a long time. Nothing, maybe the three old foxes will see the mistakes.
Hugo gave Leonardo a glance, opened his mouth and wanted to find an excuse to leave, and then saw David's smiley eyes, "Hugo, you are such a very interesting person." These words made Yu Yu. Guo's smile suddenly added a touch of embarrassment, "If you are not interested in company management at all, but you can always get to the point, and have an amazing understanding of the development context of the industry... But if you say You know these things well, and many times you are like a layman, with a completely blank face."
Hugo shook his heart, David was really keen, and he could see through his true colors in one fell swoop-he would only be talking on paper. Just as Hugo was thinking about how to respond to David’s words, Leonardo, who was standing next to him, said with a smile, "So, he just looks like an idiot, but he is actually very clever. Mean?"
Dazhi is foolish, it is probably such an adjective.
Jeffery nodded slightly, "So so many people are stumbled in front of Hugo, aren't they? I'm glad that we are not enemies."
In one sentence, Hugo’s cheeks were hot, but he still forced a calm ridicule, "You guys discuss my IQ in person, are you sure I understand?" This made several people chuckle, "But David said. To be right, I actually know a little bit of fur. Every time I say something, the brainstorming is your own credit and has nothing to do with me. You can see that you need a little space to think about awarding. Regarding the season, then those two of whom Leo and I can’t talk to, should go find a glass of champagne first."
The three of Stevens did not force Hugo to stay. They all knew that Hugo was really not good at these things. They teased Hugo a few more and let him and Leonardo leave. Watching Hugo leaving behind, Jeffery sighed, "In fact, he is the real smart man."
David chuckled lightly, "So he has reached a height that no one else can match. At least, he is purer than us, and not as greedy as we are." The real cleverness is actually knowing how to be satisfied, when to have ambition, and what. Time should be enough This is precisely a problem that a person cannot solve in his life.
"Oh, I forgot to talk to Hugo about the'beautiful life'." Steven was annoyed and smashed his lips. Obviously, his attention was completely drawn to the awards season and he had forgotten about it. .
David didn't seem anxious at all, "Don't worry, Hugo knows better than we know. Did you read his finished script? That's really..." David raised his eyebrows, trying to find a suitable vocabulary. After drinking a sip of champagne, he sighed, "Genius."
Steven didn't speak, he just clicked his chin slightly, and then he heard Jeffrey's voice next to him, "Fortunately again, he is a member of DreamWorks..." The smile on Steven's mouth was slightly outlined. .
Hugo naturally didn't know how the Big Three of DreamWorks talked about themselves behind the scenes. He and Leonardo didn't go far, and then they saw Gwyneth with a gloomy face standing in the corner, and her eyes full of resentment made people shudder. , Looks like a ghost in a horror movie, leaving a thin layer of goose bumps floating behind. However, before Hugo could react in any form to Gwyneth, a figure stood in front of Hugo with a bright smile, "Hey, Hugo!"
It's Heath Ledger.
