Hugo's calmness and sincerity, without a hint of ridicule or contempt, made Ernst laugh out loud.

In the past, Ernst, whenever someone mentioned the Oscar statuette in front of him, he would feel insulted, as if it was a scar, he could examine it himself, but he would not allow others to touch it, so he was always grumpy and kept others away, and he always used his own ideas to arbitrarily speculate on others.

At that time, Ernst heard Hugo's words, but couldn't help laughing, was it because he didn't mind? Or because the object of this topic was brought up by Hugo.

Ernst raised his head and looked carefully at Hugo's eyes, his amber eyes glowing warmly in the soft light of the night, like the aspen standing proudly on the snowy steppe, and the winter sun on the canopy exuded warmth.

"So, how does it feel?" Ernst restrained his laughter and asked slowly, the solemnity and anticipation in his eyes revealing his innermost thoughts at this time.

"Happy, very happy." Hugo replied succinctly.

Ernst was expecting Hugo to say more, but there was no more, only to see Hugo bow his head and blow the tea leaves in the water cup, the thick water vapor made Hugo's face blurry, and the curve of the outline could not be seen clearly. Ernst's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, "Yes, happy, it should be happy......"

Ernst only felt that all the expectations in his heart suddenly became empty, originally he thought that after getting the little golden man, he would be ecstatic, or overjoyed, or at least surprised and overwhelmed, and his inner thoughts would definitely be turbulent, but Hugo's simple answer disappointed all these rich expectations, and the huge gap made Ernst seem to be hoisted into the air at once, unable to reach the sky or the ground.

However, this is the truth, "happy", besides being happy, what other love is most suitable?

Ernst sat down on the couch in despair, without saying a word, and the irritability, stubbornness, and strength in his eyes turned into a cloud like a balloon of water that had been shot away, hidden in all corners of his eyes, and then gradually disappeared. It was as if in an instant, Ernst had aged ten years.

Hugo saw Ernst's appearance through the mist in front of him, as if his soul had been suddenly pulled out, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, so it seems that most of his guesses just now were correct. Hugo wondered if he was Ernst, would he be the same?

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the Oscar statuette is nothing at all, just an award, and even criticized for the commercial element after entering the 21st century. But for many people in the industry, this is not just an award, not just an honor, but also a pursuit.

The famous Irish actor Peter Otto. Born in 1932, he is a typical British academic actor: born at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, standing on the stage of the theater to hone his acting skills, and tempering himself in art films, he entered the film industry in 1960, and soon became an instant hit in the 1962 epic masterpiece "Lawrence of Arabia", and then began his long life known as an old actor.

In fact, when it comes to the name Peter Otto, it will certainly not be more widely known than Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Tom Cruise, etc., and even ordinary movie lovers do not know him, but in fact, his career as an actor can be called brilliant, in addition to "Lawrence of Arabia", he also starred in "Troy (Troy)", "The Last Emperor (the). last。 Emperor)", "Winter Lion", "Goodbye, Mr. chips)" and other classic films, he was able to easily cross the border between art films and commercial films, and both achieved admirable achievements.

Peter was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor a total of eight times in his lifetime, the last time in 2006, when he was nominated for "Venus"; At the same time, he is also an actor who won four Oscar nominations before the age of 40, you know, this achievement has only been achieved by a total of seven actors so far in 2014, including Marlon Brandy, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Gregory Parker, Leonardo DiCaprio and others.

But what is sad is that these eight nominations have never brought Peter Otto any little golden man, I have to say, he can be called one of the biggest regrets in the Oscars, although the academy awarded the lifetime achievement award to the old actor in 2003, but it is still embarrassing.

When Peter passed away in late 2013, the greatest actor in Irish history left this world with a great deal of regret.

In fact, Ernst, like Peter, has achieved an incomparably brilliant career, but they have never received their corresponding recognition, this is life, cruel and unreasonable.

People always lament the incredibleness of movies and think that movie screens shape things that we can't encounter in our lives. Indeed, life is not a movie, life is more cruel and complicated than movies, the story in the movie depends on the screenwriter's pen, the protagonist can go to heaven and earth, can have a perfect ending, and can be happy for all, but all the aspects of life must be made by our hands. More often than not, the effort and the reward are not always proportional, and disappointment after disappointment can easily destroy life.

Hugo would always tell himself that the Oscars were just an awards ceremony and he didn't need to care too much, but when he actually stood on the Oscar stage, he was still so nervous that he trembled; The moment he really won the award, he was still crying with joy and at a loss; After really getting the little golden man, he was still satisfied and ecstatic. This is life, so real.

What would happen to Hugo if, like Ernst, like Peter, struggled all his life, but never gained his own recognition, his own glory, and his own status? Unwilling, he may be unwilling, just like Ernst, who hates and loves deeply, constantly tormenting himself.

It's like the work in life, hard work, or even double the work, but only in exchange for a meager salary, even your own life can not be maintained, or you will never see the opportunity for promotion, but you still have to bear the troubles and pains of work because of the oppression of life.

Therefore, when people see that those people on Wall Street are just chanting a few numbers, they can exchange it for wealth that they can't get by living desperately for a lifetime, they will be jealous, resentful, and resistant; When people see an actor standing in the spotlight for a few minutes, they can get hundreds or thousands of dollar bills, and they will envy and yearn for it......

All of them are so real, and so cruel.

"I don't know if it sounds like a cool word, but ......" Hugo leaned forward slightly, and said seriously, "I also thought about what I would do after I got the little golden man, maybe I would see a new world, maybe I could enter a whole new field...... However, when I got up today, I didn't feel anything special, I was still me, and my right finger didn't turn golden because of the extra little golden figure. ”

Hugo's joke was exchanged for a cold glance from Ernst, which made Hugo laugh, "I'm wondering if the real difference will be in my epitaph, for example, 'Hugo and Lancaster' l967 to 2067, the winner of the 66th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor" If it were just that, I would be disappointed; But if there is nothing, I will be even more disappointed; Of course, it would be great if there were more. ”

Hugo's words finally made Ernst react, and he muttered "a hundred years old...... which made Hugo scratch his head a little shyly.

"But then I thought, maybe, people talk about me always in terms of Oscars, but maybe there's another way." Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed, in fact, this is one of the effects of the Oscars, people are always used to using Oscar winners - even just Oscar nominees to promote and position, as if this is a label, the most important label, will be highlighted, "For example, the male protagonist of works such as 'Dead Poets Society', 'Smell of a Woman', 'Schindler's List'." Or something like that. ”

In fact, the entertainment industry is the same as any other job, people are always accustomed to defining someone with "masterpieces", for example, the advertising industry is a famous advertisement, and writers are the pinnacle works, police. The inspectors are a big case...... And an award like the Oscar is an aura that adds to a masterpiece.

Hugo is telling Sù Ernst early, in fact, he is also telling Sù himself, halo is not necessary to exist, without halo will not lose the status of a masterpiece, should not lose yourself because of the number of these halos.

Life in real society is like an adventure, full of countless traps, and the higher the status, the more traps you will encounter, which is why many people want to spend their lives in peace; But it's also fun to take on challenges and shine more in your life. There are countless pitfalls in Vanity Fair, and it is not easy to stay the course here.

Although Hugo did not comfort Ernst positively, Hugo's words still quieted Ernst. In terms of age, experience, and vision, Ernst is many grades higher than Hugo, even if Hugo has such an incredible experience as crossing over, it still can't be compared, but Hugo has one advantage: that is, he has obtained a little golden man, and his feelings at the moment are beyond Ernst's experience.

Hugo said the truth, Ernst understands, but many times, understanding a truth does not mean that you can do it, but today, Ernst fell silent because of Hugo's words.

Ernst sat on the couch and did not speak for a long time, and the hall fell silent, and then he suddenly raised his voice and said, "You can go back." After a pause, he said viciously, "Get out!"
