Superstar

Chapter 39: First interview

Nicholas is twenty-six years old this year. He has been in the business of journalists for two years. At first he worked in the "San Francisco Examiner" newspaper, which was based in San Francisco. It is one of the largest newspapers and is the biggest competitor to the "San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco. But across the United States, the "San Francisco Chronicle" is not only a big newspaper comparable to the "Los Angeles Times", but also the top 15 media outlets in terms of sales; but the influence of the "San Francisco Investigator" is obviously limited. .

However, Nicholas's keen grasp of news made him stand out in the journalism industry, and he was appreciated by the editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times. He joined the West Coast best-selling newspaper in the second half of last year, and he has only started reporting since then. Hugo News.

   Nicholas didn't actually have any malice against Hugo, he was just reporting. Take a look at Hugo’s experience in the entertainment industry, step by step, step by step to the first landmark-"Death Poetry Club", but has not reached the peak, so he added three consecutive bad movies to his resume. This is not good news for any actor. Therefore, Nicholas's remarks are only part of the entire news media's views, nothing special.

However, since the 12th Golden Raspberry Awards, Nicholas thought Hugo was a bit interesting, "Hugo, at the Golden Raspberry Awards not long ago, you were so crying that you couldn’t speak. I want to know. , Are you really thanking the organizing committee for the'recognition', or is it just a show, a deliberately arranged show?"

Nicholas’s first question is very sharp, and this is also his most curious aspect. Although there have been many reports on the Golden Raspberry Award in the past period of time, journalists’ speculations are flying all over the sky, but Hugo has never No positive response. Now that Nicholas finally got the chance, he will naturally not let it go.

Faced with this question, Hugo, who was interviewed for the first time, was really stunned. He didn't know how to answer, because he was completely in a state of chaos at the time. As a result, he had an oolong and he couldn't tell. The truth, then I can only find a way to answer, "Are you saying that you guys don’t know if I am real or false? If it’s a show, then I used the best acting skills to get the worst male The protagonist award, which is really interesting."

   Hugo's answer made Nicholaston a pause. He hadn't really thought about this logic before, and this answer was unexpected. It made Nicholas look at Hugo more inquisitively.

"It's a pity that those are my truest emotions, not my acting skills." Hugo shrugged regretfully. "Everyone has always kept secret of the Golden Raspberry Award because no one wants to accept the worst. Acting’ awards. But in my opinion, this is just a way of entertaining the public. Why should you avoid it? To put it harder, since you have made such terrible movies, what else should you avoid? What? You can do better in the future by facing your own faults honestly, right?"

Hugo’s honesty made Nicholas’ eyes shine. In fact, this statement is also a common opinion of the general public: The first is that the Golden Raspberry Award is just an entertainment awards ceremony. This kind of shame people will have the same view. On the contrary, if you are willing to laugh as a bogeyman, then people will also laugh at it.

   The second is about the award itself. Since the actor has taken such a terrible movie, it has been criticized by the audience and film critics for being decent when it is released, so why is it necessary to leave a fig leaf to cover it up? The result just made myself more embarrassed.

However, this is only the audience’s thoughts after all. For the actors, they all cherish their feathers very much. Even if the work has been overwhelmed by Rotten Tomatoes, they are unwilling to stand in front of the audience and accept criticism. Face and image are for them. It's very important, maybe time has passed, and many years later, it's okay, but it's definitely not the present. It's one thing to shoot a terrible work, but it's another thing to stand calmly on the stage and accept the audience's ridicule, ridicule, and teasing.

   Therefore, no one has been willing to attend the Golden Raspberry Award for this reason.

"So what about the tears?" Nicholas was aroused by Hugo's answer. This was the first time he saw an actor who could face his mistakes so calmly, even if the embarrassment on the Golden Raspberry Award has become the laughing stock of others. , But Hugo did not avoid it. Instead, he ridiculed himself in an optimistic and cheerful way, and easily won Nicholas's favor.

"You can understand it as gratitude or regret, but I personally prefer to understand it as motivation. But no matter what, you guys are very happy to see it, don’t you? I think I’ve done the Golden Raspberry Award too. A little contribution." Since he couldn't escape, Hugo faced it calmly. After all, everything that happened at the Golden Raspberry Award was a fact, even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't dispute it.

Nicholas nodded appreciatively in his heart, and was satisfied with Hugo's answer, but he did not intend to let Hugo go, "Then I can understand that you are very dissatisfied with the work of Hudson's Eagle. ?"

   This question made Hugo laugh, "I don't think Martin will be satisfied with your question."

   A four-two-pronged answer made Nicholas unable to make an effective attack, because he was not a special interview today, but a routine interview. Except for Hugo, he must leave most of the time to interview Al. Thinking of this, Nicholas had to transfer the question to "Scent of a Woman", "Hugo, let's talk about this movie."

   The interview on "Smelling Scents and Knowing Women" is obviously a lot more disciplined. Because it is a routine interview, the questions are more rigid, and Hugo's answers are also quite satisfactory. On the contrary, it is not as exciting as the just beginning. Although Nicholas has been carefully recording the key points of Hugo's answer, he always remembers Hugo's wit just now. Such Hugo is really interesting, much more interesting than most actors.

   So, when the crew reminded Nicholas to interview Al, he couldn't help but ask another question, "Hugo, has anyone said you are a big name?" He was really curious about Hugo's answer.

In fact, this kind of statement has been rumored since the "Deadly Moment". The main reason is that after Hugo got good attention from the "Death Poetry Society", his next work directly took the position of the protagonist, and it was three consecutive times. The investment in this movie is not small, so it has been said in the circle that Hugo is playing a big name, and he is unwilling to take on the script of supporting roles, and the demand for the film has been stuck at the position of 3 million and is unwilling to drop it.

   "Yes." Hugo's straightforward answer made Nicholas happy, but the following words made Nicholas laugh and cry, "You said it just now, or are you the first person to say this?"

   Nicholas felt that he had the urge to roll his eyes, "Hugo...I mean, has anyone said that except me? Is there such a rumor in the circle, or is there such an accusation in the crew?"

"Oh, please, Nicholas, you are in the field of journalists. Shouldn't the news be better than me? You actually came to ask me if the order of the questions is wrong." Hugo said with a relaxed smile on his face. It made Nicholas wonder what to say.

Originally, Nicholas just wanted to take a side look. After all, Hugo's role in "Scent of a Woman" is not only a supporting role, but also the remuneration announced by Universal Pictures is only half a million US dollars-this dispels a lot of media doubts. The crew chose the voice of Hugo, so Nicholas can no longer continue to say that Hugo is a "big name", he can only ask tentatively.

But I didn’t expect that Hugo pushed the ball back as a Tai Chi pusher, leaving Nicholas at a loss. In the end he could only smile, "Yes, it’s like this, that’s right. If I hear about this in the future I will tell you the news as soon as possible."

"Trust me, if there is news in this regard, I will know it earlier than you." Hugo made another stroke. Nicholas hadn't reacted in the first time. He still wanted to say, "You just said that I had better news than you." Well-informed, why did you know it earlier than me", but then he turned the corner:

   Hugo is saying ~www.novelmt.com~ If he plays a big game, he must know it earlier than the reporters, because he knows himself. At the same time, Hugo is tantamount to indirectly denying Nicholas's question just now: So far, Hugo has not given up a big name.

   This simple sentence actually conveyed so much information, Nicholas took a deep look at Hugo: The handsome young man in front of him is far more interesting than the terrible actor he wrote.

   But Nicholas didn't say anything. He lifted the notebook in his right hand, motioned for a moment, and then left directly, and then he wanted to interview Al Pacino. The two people did not hug or shake hands, they just came and left in a hurry, and an interview that lasted less than ten minutes was over.

   Looking at the back of Nicholas leaving, Hugo breathed a long sigh of relief. He originally thought it would be difficult for reporters to interview, and the other party was Nicholas, who was on a narrow road to his enemies, but now it seems that it is far easier than he thought. Although Nicholas's questions were not lacking in sharp parts, he seemed to have no problem responding to it, which immediately gave Hugo a lot of confidence.

"Everything is okay?" Joseph waited for Nicholas to walk near Al, then came over and asked, "Are there any issues I need to pay attention to?" Joseph needs to check the interview content. If there is a problem, he will It is necessary to communicate with the Los Angeles Times in advance to avoid mistakes.

"No, very good. The conversation was very pleasant." After Hugo finished speaking, he pondered carefully, and then nodded, "Well, it's much better than I thought. At least I didn't punch him. That's a good thing." A joke made Joseph's mouth twitch again.
