Chapter 1160： Fame and fortune

"The emptiness of fame and fortune! Who is intoxicated? Who is full of desire. Hope? Or, if you have fame and fortune, you will be satisfied?"

Imagine a party that only top people can attend, a party that only real celebrities can attend, a party that gathers everyone’s attention, just like the upper class in the early nineteenth century, not everyone can enter, but once you enter After that, you will see a whole new world. This is called Vanity Fair.

Attending the Oscar night means status, status, attention, and envy of everyone. The colorful spotlights and flashes, and the clever smiles of flattery and covetousness are intertwined, indeed have a fatal attraction, which makes people lose it. .

Look at the security check of today's party, this is not an occasion where you can get through the customs with just one face. First is the inspection of the parking permit, then the security at the door confirms the face and the invitation letter, and then there is the third level: the black-haired woman in front of her will check the name on the total list, only to make sure that every name is on the list. To enter.

This is not the end. A note was made after each name on the list. After Hugo noticed it, he raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What does the last set of numbers mean?"

Although the black-haired woman had a smile on her face, she revealed a lingering alienation, and she did not get close at all because of Hugo's warm smile. Also, if she would be easily dazzled by Hollywood star fans, she would not stand here as the person in charge of the third level.

"This is the admission time. Different guests have different admission times." The black-haired woman explained politely, "You and your companions can enter the venue now. I hope you enjoy a good night."

Hugo doesn't quite understand this. If parking permits can distinguish service levels, it is easier to understand, but why is there a difference in admission time? However, the black-haired woman obviously did not intend to answer. In the end, Rick explained, "Generally speaking, reporters are the last to enter the venue because they need to leave'private time' for others."

Hugo suddenly realized.

After the Oscar, the mood is definitely not a taste for those who lose, and the winner will also become the existence of the stars. Therefore, many private conversations will happen at this moment, and when the reporter enters the venue, the scene will be different.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help being curious, "Then there are differences in the level of entry of reporters, right?" The sooner you enter the venue, the more news will be revealed. This is absolute.

Hugo got an affirmative answer. Not only journalists, but also people from TV and model circles will enter the venue relatively late; there are also columnists and behind-the-scenes staff in newspapers and magazines.

Almost every detail and every step makes people feel the difference in courtesy, and it also pushes the light of Vanity Fair to a whole new level. No wonder the Oscars night can become the most watched existence in the party-packed Hollywood. What countless people dream of is to appear on the Oscars night, which seems to be like a superstar club.

Hugo flipped the invitation letter in his hand. How much mystery was hidden in this gorgeous but simple invitation letter? If you throw it out, how many people will be crazy about it? At this moment, how many people are willing to pay a high price for the invitation of this chapter? Hugo thought of Jin somehow. The martial arts secrets that everyone wants to **** in the yong martial arts novels are just like...like nine sun magic arts.

"It seems that you are in a good mood tonight." A voice made Hugo turn his head and look over. The person here was Tim Robbins. Although he was not nominated, he is now in the first-tier Hollywood group. He is a member of, the past two years of "life intersections" and "behind the scenes players" made him shine, coupled with this year's "Shawshank's Redemption", in fact, he is also one of the actors that Oscar has been owed. So it's not surprising that he was invited.

Hugo and Tim are just nodding acquaintances, but on Oscar night, everyone is nodding acquaintance, and everyone can talk when they meet. Hugo only arrived at the party for less than ten minutes. He had already seen four groups of people before and after. Cameron wanted to go to the bathroom, but he couldn't find a space. As a result, he still has to turn around and leave gracefully. I have to say that such a party is a kind of glory, but at the same time it is like a masquerade, everyone wears a mask-a mask that allows one to achieve his goal.

But Hugo’s impression of Tim has always been good, so he saw the visitor with a relaxed smile on his face, and replied, "Your mood tonight is not as bad as I thought."

Tim raised his eyebrows and looked at Hugo in surprise, as if he didn't understand what Hugo meant. Hugo explained with a smile, "Such an outstanding performance without winning a nomination? This is really a depressing thing."

The script of "Shawshank's Redemption" benefited from Hugo's participation, and it did have a lot of changes, which also gave Tim more room to play. But unfortunately, Tim still failed to get the nomination for best actor. Losing to Morgan Freeman is not wrong, but losing to Nigel Hawthorne is really depressing.

Tim haha ​​laughed, "The time has passed." It meant that he was sad after saying that he was nominated. "Tonight belongs to you. As a bystander, I really enjoy tonight. It's hard." Imagine what it would be like as a party."

"You should talk to Tom... I mean Hanks." Hugo's words made Tim laugh again, because two steps away, Tom Cruise happened to pass by. Hearing this, stop. Stopped, and then heard the explanation behind Hugo, he shrugged helplessly before leaving. This is really interesting. "For me, the most stressful moment has passed." Hugo's eyes widened, with an expression of embarrassment.

Tim immediately understood that Hugo was mocking himself for being embarrassed when he won the Best Supporting Actor Award last year. This made Tim feel a little more relaxed. "In fact, Frank was quite a bit in the process of shooting the movie. Speaking of you again, I discussed with Morgan at the time that you really like this script, and many details are very attentive, which is of great help to our performance."

"Oh, please, Frank has made me embarrassed for a while. You don't want to do it again, do you?" Hugo said that after the Golden Globe nomination list came out, the reporter told Hugo that he was nominated for the Best Screenplay Award. Hugo replied with a surprised look, "Are you kidding me?" This matter was talked about by many people later.

It is estimated that Frank-Delabond himself did not expect when he signed up that "Shawshank's Redemption" would surpass other works at the last moment and received such a big affirmation. Because at the beginning of the movie, almost no one cares about it. So Frank filled Hugo into the list of screenwriters, only to express his sincerity and gratitude, and didn't think so much, so naturally he didn't tell Hugo.

The smile on the corner of Tim's mouth rose, revealing dimples, making him look a little more childish, "But you can't deny that you are indeed an excellent screenwriter. I am now looking forward to'before sunrise'? "

"You made me shy." Hugo said with a chuckle, "So, are we going to enter the mode of complimenting each other now? You know, I have a lot to say about your performance," Shawshank's Redemption 'But I took a fancy to it first."

"Hahahaha." Tim's hearty laughter was not harsh amid the loud music, it was a bit more innocent than his usual elegant and shy image. "No, no, I just came here to express my admiration. Your performance in Pulp Fiction is wonderful."

"This is really a positive sign." Hugo exaggerated exaggerated breath. "There will be many occasions to flatter each other tonight. I don't want to enter this mode so soon, otherwise the smile will become rigid in the end. . At least, it doesn’t need to be like this between friends."

"I heard that you and Morgan might be working together next time?" Tim changed the subject as expected.

Hugo was a little surprised, did Morgan and the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew have negotiated? There is still no news from Rick. However, Hugo did not show it on the surface. Instead, he smiled and said, "I hope so, to make up for the regret that I missed before. You know, you can learn a lot from working with such an excellent actor as Morgan." Here, Hugo paused, "Oh, I forgot who I was talking to."

This is talking about "Shawshank's redemption" again. Tim was amused by Hugo and shook his head again and again, raised his hands, expressing surrender. While talking, Tim suddenly looked behind Hugo and showed a gentle smile. Before Hugo could turn his head, he saw a charming woman walking by him, hugging Tim and kissing each other. A moment It turned out to be Susan Sarandon! This rising star in the late 1970s has now become universal. One of the representatives of the feeling of a woman, and her superb acting skills are even more admirable. This year's Oscar nomination is the third nomination in the past five years! Hugo's deepest impression of her is undoubtedly "The End of the Wild Flower". This movie is undoubtedly one of the most important masterpieces in Susan's career as an actress, with far-reaching influence.

"Good evening, dear Mr. Lancaster, where's your female companion?" When Susan spoke, the brows revealed a flair. Even though she is forty-nine this year, that flamboyant charm is common to many girls. If you don't have it, the corners of your mouth are elegant and yet sexual. The smile is even more charming.

It's not surprising that Tim, who is twelve years younger than Susan, will fall in love with this woman.

"Dear Miss Sarandon, my female companion is trapped in a food processing plant, and I regret that I cannot help." Hugo explained the so-called reincarnation place in English in a serious manner, with shallow outlines at the corners of his mouth. Smile.

Susan was stunned and didn't react. She originally wanted to tease Hugo, but she was choked. It was Tim who reacted first and laughed happily, making Susan confused.
