159 Exclusive Interviews
Nicholas turned on the tape recorder and placed it on the coffee table, with Hugo sitting directly across from him and Joseph sitting quietly next to Hugo. Nicholas glanced at Joseph, and after making sure that Joseph had no special 'handover' generation, he continued to chat with Hugo, "In addition to coffee, what other hobbies do you usually have?" ”
"Fitness, reading." In fact, these hobbies were developed gradually, and since there was no Internet or computer in life, Hugo had to find some hobbies to pass the time.
Fitness is to maintain good health, and this skin has undergone poisoning. After the torture of Pin, most of the vitality was consumed, and Hugo had to re-accumulate little by little, otherwise he would not be able to run before he was thirty years old, which would be too bad. As for reading, it has always been Hugo's hobby, whether it is a physical object, books are the crystallization of different wisdom, and it is a very interesting thing to shuttle through this pile of words.
"Yes, I can see the effect of fitness." Hugo has always been in very good shape, "Hudson's Eagle" is still an action comedy, you can see that Hugo is very agile, but later because of poison. Because of the product, Hugo lost a lot of weight, and in the period before the Golden Raspberry Award, he reached the strictest Cheng dù. After that, Hugo seems to be gradually recovering, and as a journalist, Nicholas can clearly see the change in this process: "As for reading, have you seen any interesting books lately? ”
"Oh, I'm an old-school guy in that regard, and I've been watching 'The Old Man and the Sea' lately." Hugo said with a smile that before the crossing, Hugo dropped out of school at the age of fifteen. Although many people say that reading is useless, because the society values ability, such as mathematics or Chinese knowledge is almost not used in work, it cannot be denied that the role of books is more to the horizon is to accumulate and to undertone, and the so-called bookish qi is actually the most direct expression.
In order to make up for his regret of dropping out of school early, Hugo has been persevering in self-study. This is also the reason why Hugo's current temperament can be different, without years of accumulation, he would not have been able to have such an expression after the crossing. In fact, the real handsomeness is never the appearance, because this is just a skin, without the support of the 'spirit', the beauty of the skin is difficult to be recognized by everyone, only the outstanding temperament can conquer everyone. Hugo now has more than just skin.
"Ernest Hemingway, Wise Choice." Nicholas complimented, and then nodded slightly, "When it comes to hobbies, I originally thought you would give me another answer, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain now." ”
"Another answer?" Hugo raised his eyebrows, he didn't react for a while, fitness and reading books are indeed things he insists on almost every day now. Hugo's first reaction was "Sugar-Coated Trap", this work is adapted from, and he mentioned reading books again, did Nicholas hear something about it and wanted to inquire about it?
But Nicholas gave Hugo a surprise, "Guitar or...... What other musical instruments. ”
"Ah......" Hugo chuckled, he really didn't expect it to be this, "music! "Actually, to be precise, I prefer music as a part of my life, not just a hobby." ”
"Wow, talk to me about the meaning of this sentence, I seem to have sensed something inside." The excitement between Nicholas's eyebrows was noticeably lively, and it seemed that this was the focus of the first interview of today's interview.
Hugo glanced at Joseph, he was considering his words, without knowing his predecessor, he had to speak carefully, "I've always been interested in music since I was a child, you know, the Beatles, Michael Jackson......" Hugo almost said that the Oasis was coming, but then he thought that the Oasis was only established in 1991, and it is still not a big hit, if he mentions it now, it will contradict "starting from a young age", so Hugo hurriedly braked," And the Rolling Stones (the. rolliones)。 ”
"When I really started 'getting into' music," Hugo deliberately accentuated his tone, emphasizing that this was the beginning of his real entry into music, "it was because Kurt Cobain (Kurt) was talking about his own real entry into music. Cobain), you know, he's a legend. This is a bit different from Hugo's own situation, but the fact is that Nirvana was indeed a band that Hugo liked very much, and the Nirvana Band that rose strongly in 1987 is also the most consistent with Hugo's current situation, so Hugo found such an entry point for himself.
Sure enough, both Nicholas and Joseph suddenly realized that Joseph had never known when the bridge between Hugo and music was built, and now it was answered. Nicholas picked up the conversation and said, "Nirvana,' the young heart (smells.' like。 tee)', classic! ”
Nicholas was surprised to find that he and Hugo had so much in common, and Nicholas felt this way the first time he was interviewed by the crew of "Smell the Woman", but it didn't become clear until today. "No wonder I feel 'glamorous' when I hear you sing 'Next time you meet me (e)'. It turns out that you are not a newbie. ”
As the chat progressed, Hugo did not have the vigilance before the interview began, and the mood was completely relaxed, and when he heard Nicholas's words, Hugo immediately laughed heartily, "Haha, I'm a newbie, an absolute newbie." "I'm not used to singing in person, I'm more used to composing and then playing the guò instrument." If there was a band, I wouldn't be the lead singer. ”
"Are you telling me that you're a singer-songwriter? Is this showing off or ...... Flaunt? Nicholas had long been adept at dealing with such a scene, but today he was clearly a little more relaxed, and the jump in his tone was not even noticeable to him.
"If that's what you're going to think, then I'll admit it." Hugo's words made Nicholas laugh out loud, "Actually, I did write a few good songs, maybe I have the opportunity in the future, I can vote for the record company, maybe Michael Jackson will ask for my songs?" ”
"Dreaming......" Nicholas didn't think too much, and blurted out a joke directly, not like a reporter's interview, but like a friend chatting, and after he said it, he also noticed his "unprofessionalism", and quickly restrained his smile and changed the topic, "So this time, the ending song of 'Yihai Xiongfeng' has received so much attention, is it the situation you expected?" ”
Although the song "Next Time You Meet Me" is only played with a movie, and Hugo has no plans to record and release a single alone, the hot topic of 'sex' is at the top level in recent days, and the on-demand rate of the original song on major radio stations shows an abrupt curve. You know, Parker's original song was released in 1956, and it was not one of the hot 'door' tracks of the early 90s.
Hugo didn't notice the change in Nicholas, and the smile was still on his lips, "No, no, of course I didn't expect it." In fact, it is an accident to perform the ending song for a movie. Hugo briefly described the situation at that time, but did not say about Uma's visit, but only said that his singing during the break attracted attention, "Now after playing with the movie, I am relieved to get such a 'colorful' smile." ”
"No, your watch is very 'beautiful' this time, maybe a record company will ask you to release an album soon." Nicholas complimented.
Hugo didn't take it seriously, now is not the 21st century of "pigs, dogs, and all can make records", in the Internet era, due to the development of social "communication" networks and the simplicity of recording equipment, almost everyone can record their own albums, and the "door" threshold for signing a record company has dropped again and again, not to mention the grassroots singing frenzy brought by talent shows. At the beginning of the 90s, the record industry has not shrunk, and the situation of hundreds of schools of thought contending has made classic masterpieces continuous, and the threshold for entering the industry is naturally relatively high.
Nicholas didn't expect a response from Hugo, and he continued, "So, do you feel the success of the film now?" Can you really feel the popularity coming to you? ”
"I don't feel much, can you depict it specifically?" Hugo pursed his lips and said with wide eyes that although he was surrounded once when he went to the movies, to be honest, it was only more than a hundred people, and Hugo really didn't know what the real popularity looked like.
For Hugo, the popularity he imagined came from the concert, standing on the stage of 100,000 people, watching everyone cheer for him, that is the real spectacle.
"The movie has achieved a good reputation, the box office has achieved good results, the audience has begun to scream and cheer for you, the number of jobs has begun to increase, and the recognition and attention have begun to climb......" Nicholas looked at Hugo with suspicious eyes every time he said a word, these situations are all phenomena that suddenly broke out after the successful premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng", which is more than twice as grand as the previous "smell the fragrance and know the 'woman'" The excitement is more than double, which is also the direct evidence that the media generally believes that Hugo has been on the front line for the first time since his debut ten years ago.
"If that's what you're talking about, then ...... Yes, yes, I do feel the popularity. Hugo nodded slowly to express his opinion, "But this qiē is still not very true. You know, it seems like not so long ago, I was still uncared for, and now all of a sudden all the lights are starting to come together, and it's ...... It's like a dream. ”
Looking at Hugo's slightly hesitant expression, Nicholas originally wanted to sarcastically say something about Hugo, which is also his usual style, so he blurted out, "That's because you've never experienced what real popularity is, and then you just fell off." This is Hugo's expression after saying "Dead Poets Society", "Of course, now that you are enjoying the cheers, for Tom Cruise, it is nothing at all, so there is no need to be too happy." ”
After finishing speaking, Nicholas saw the interesting smile on Hugo's face, and nodded lightly to express his affirmation of his words, and when Nicholas reached the second half of his mouth, he changed his mind, "The most important thing is that today you feel that this qiē is like a dream, maybe tomorrow there will be a better dream born, don't be too surprised." Because, that's Hollywood. ”
