Chapter 102: Suffering from gains and losses

The movie was over, and the emotions of all the audience on the scene could finally be vented. When watching Frank’s impassioned speech just now, some people on the scene began to whistle and applaud, but because the movie was not over yet, they had to suppress themselves until After the subtitles appeared on the big screen, the suppressed enthusiasm of the audience was fully condensed into applause at this moment, flooding the Fox Theater.

   Hugo sat in his seat, still sighing. This is not the first time he has watched "Scent of a Woman". He had watched this movie before crossing over, and more than once, but the viewing experience this time was completely different. In the past, when Hugo watched this movie, his eyes were almost focused on Al's wonderful performance. A tango, a drag racing, and a speech all left deep images in his mind. But now, Hugo can see more things, see his performance, and see the movie revealing more profound meaning.

  Movies, especially classic movies, are really a magical carrier. Not only do they carry people’s joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, but they also have a different experience every time they watch. Perhaps bad movies can also see new complaints, while good movies will grow older and more fragrant like old wine.

In a trance, Hugo remembered the reason why he likes movies again: because it can pin people's inner emotions, positive and negative, profound and shallow, complicated and simple.

   The applause in the ears was not intense, because there were only less than three hundred people watching the movie. However, the applause for Hugo is far more significant than simple admiration, and it is an affirmation of Hugo. After the movie was over, Hugo sat in a chair, excited and timidly afraid to turn his head, because he was afraid to see the disappointed expressions of the audience, and he was afraid that his performance would ruin the classic movie until the applause. After hearing this, Hugo's cold and stiff limbs immediately warmed up.

Looking back, in the not bright lights of the cinema, Hugo saw the strange faces but with similar emotions: passionate, Frank's speech stirred the blood deep in everyone's heart. , This is the charm of movies. At this moment, Hugo’s chest was overflowing with a warm gas. That inexplicable emotion reverberated in his heart, making Hugo a little at a loss. Finally, he agitated his hands, the feeling of palm-to-palm contact. Hugo's emotions were vented, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed.

   "We should have stepped forward." Al patted Hugo on the shoulder and looked directly in front of the seats in the theater. Martin, Bo and others had already passed by. Hugo realized that this was the premiere of his own film. As the leading actor, the end of the film screening is not the end. He still needs to accept interviews from the media and questions from the audience.

This is the first time Hugo has stood in front of everyone to be scrutinized. This feeling is very different from the red carpet of the premiere. It feels like being surrounded by flashing lights all over the body. The warm atmosphere makes people feel like they can be at any time. It's a wonderful feeling to rise in the air.

"Hugo, your performance in the film is very wonderful. It can be said that you are totally different from the performance in the'Hudson's Eagle'. Did you have any special feelings during the shooting?" Most of the previous questions were still Focus on director Martin and actor Al, after all, they are the most important ones. As for Hugo as a supporting role, it took two rounds before ushered in the first problem.

Faced with such a question, Hugo chuckled slightly, "Uh, I think the most important thing is to stop thinking about a movie." Hugo's self-ridicule caused a chuckle at the scene, "This movie In the filming of the film, Al provided a lot of help. He is a great actor. I must express my gratitude and respect."

   "What do you think about the Golden Raspberry Award?" Another reporter immediately raised this hot question.

Hugo shrugged and nodded slightly, "I hope Al will not be dragged down by me." Hugo's witty answer did not evade sharp questions, but he was not ashamed to avoid it. Instead, he used a lateral approach. He responded with a little bit of self-deprecation and humor, and at the same time it reminded me of Hugo's excitement at the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony, quite happy.

The audience burst into laughter, and Al even put his arms around Hugo’s shoulders, then patted Hugo’s chest, laughed and said, "If you have to be nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for a performance like this , Then I don’t mind getting the prize.” Al also positively expressed his support for Hugo in front of the media. This is very rare. On the contrary, Hugo loses his wit, and smiles embarrassedly.

Before the release of "Scent of a Woman", most of the media were not optimistic about this work. This kind of negative remarks almost occupies a one-sided advantage, but just because everyone did not have much expectations, after entering the cinema, The surprise is even greater. The media interviews after the premiere seemed to be very happy. Although reporters were still reluctant to let go of the Hugo Golden Raspberry Award, at least the atmosphere was no longer rigid and sarcasm.

   However, the atmosphere of the scene is one thing, and the reviews written by professional film critics are another thing. Don’t forget, the feedback from the audience is also different. All of this is unknown.

Hugo woke up early the next morning. Hugo, who could not sleep all night because he was worried about comments, walked toward the kitchen with two dark circles like a walking dead. When he walked to the kitchen, Hugo had forgotten again. What I was going to do, I looked blankly at the kitchen utensils around me, with a blank face, only to float back to the living room like a ghost, and slumped on the sofa like a discouraged ball.

   When Charlize woke up, he saw this scene, and Alex was standing at the door of the bathroom brushing his teeth, watching Hugo on the sofa smile helplessly. Charlize walked to the bathroom door in a simple T-shirt with sweatpants and stepped on slippers. Alex originally wanted to let Charlize use the bathroom, but Charlize stopped at the door and leaned against the wall. What's wrong?"

   Alex said vaguely, only to hear a "comment", Charlize immediately understood it, it seems that Hugo is worried about the "scent of a woman" movie review. After Alex went to vomit the foam in his mouth, he said again, "He turned around in the room last night, and I can hear his restlessness across the wall. After getting up in the morning , He just sat there for a quarter of an hour." At this point, Alex looked at Charlize and added excitedly, "This is only the time since I got up."

   Neither Charlize nor Alex had experienced such a situation. Naturally, they couldn't understand Hugo's anxiety, but found it a bit funny. In fact, the two people have been telling Hugo last night that the media comments will definitely be very good, because the premiere response is very good, there is no need to worry at all, but no amount of comfort can not calm Hugo's inner anxiety.

Charlize curled his mouth, crossed his hands on his chest, walked to the sofa and kicked Hugo's left foot with his right foot. As a result, Hugo slowly turned his head, but his amber eyes were covered with slender eyelashes. It was blocked, there was no light in the eyes at all, it was just a blur. Charlize asked dumbfoundingly, "I haven't slept all night?"

   "Maybe." Hugo's brain is very slow, maybe he doesn't know whether he was asleep or not last night. In the past, Hugo still found it unbelievable to see people's comments on the movie and the troubles at the box office. But when it was his turn, Hugo knew how terrible it was.

Seeing Hugo's state, Charlize's mischievous psychology emerged. She looked around, raised her hand to greet Alex and walked over. It was unknown why Alex was still holding a towel in his hand. When he walked over, Alexton laughed when he saw Charlize Bi being scribbled.

   Only two people stood against one side of the sofa, and then shook the sofa violently at the same time, yelling in a panic, "Earthquake! Earthquake!"

Hugo, who was originally lying on the sofa, jumped up and yelled, "Earthquake! Earthquake!" Then he looked around and seemed to be looking for a way to escape, but it was too late to take a step. , I saw Charlize and Alex laughing at the side so they couldn't stand up.

   Hugo came back to his senses at this time, looked around the room where there was no shaking at all, and realized that he had been tricked by a prank. Hugo also had a helpless smile, and then after thinking about his silly behavior ~www.readwn.com~ he also laughed, the more he thought about it, the more funny he would be.

   Hugo knows that his gains and losses are still a bit too heavy, otherwise he would not sleepless last night. It is precisely because of the applause and support of the audience at the premiere that I have more expectations for media comments. My own mentality of gains and losses is really speechless.

   At this time, someone opened the door of the room with a key. You don't need to look at it to know that it is Joseph. In order to facilitate work, Joseph and Carl both provided the key to the third floor door. Then Joseph came in and saw three people standing scattered beside the sofa, hugging their stomachs and laughing, making Joseph feel confused.

   Hugo was the first to see Joseph's figure, he narrowed a little, and rubbed his sore eyes, "What's the matter, you got up so early?"

   "Can't sleep." Joseph said frankly, there was also a faint shadow under his eyes, and his tension was no less than Hugo, or more serious. Because Hugo somehow knew that the movie "Scent of a Woman" is a classic that has received many recognitions, but Joseph does not have this advantage.

   After taking a deep breath, Joseph said, "I just received the news, and the first media comment has already come out."

   As soon as this sentence came out, Charlize and Alex's laughter also stopped, and they couldn't help looking at Joseph. Although they are not the parties, they also care about the performance of Hugo's works. It’s just that Alex’s smile was too sudden, he didn’t change it in one breath, he actually hiccuped, "Uh!" The short silence was broken, and the three people watching did not hold back, and they all rushed together. Laughed out loud.
