102 Gain and loss

When watching Frank's impassioned speech just now, some people began to whistle and applaud, but because the movie was not over yet, they had to suppress themselves, until the subtitles appeared on the big screen, and the audience's suppressed enthusiasm was completely condensed into applause at this moment, filling the Fox Theater.

Hugo sat in his place, still sighing. This is not the first time he has watched "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", he has seen the movie before the crossing, and more than once, but this time the viewing experience is completely different. In the past, when Hugo watched this movie, his eyes were almost focused on Arle's wonderful performance, a tango, a drag race, a speech, which left a deep image in his mind. But now, Hugo can see more things, see his own performance, and see the film reveal a deeper meaning.

Movies, especially classic movies, are really a very magical carrier, it not only carries people's joys and sorrows, but also has a different experience every time you watch it. Maybe bad movies can also see new complaints, while good movies will be like old wine, and they will become more and more fragrant as they get older.

In a trance, Hugo remembered the reason why he likes movies: because it can convey people's inner feelings, positive and negative, profound and shallow, complex and simple.

The applause in the ears was not intense, because there were less than 300 people watching the movie on the spot, but the significance of this applause to Hugo was far more than a simple admiration, and it was an affirmation of Hugo. When the movie was over, Hugo sat in his chair, excited and timid, afraid to look back, because he was afraid to see the disappointed expressions of the audience, he was afraid that his performance would ruin the classic movie, until the applause came, and Hugo's cold and stiff limbs suddenly warmed.

Looking back, in the not-so-bright lights of the cinema, Hugo saw unfamiliar faces with a similar emotion: passionate, Frank's speech stirred everyone's innermost blood surgingly, this is the charm of the movie. At this moment, Hugo's chest was filled with a warm gas, and the inexplicable love reverberated in his heart, making Hugo a little overwhelmed, and finally encouraged his hands, and the real feeling of palm and palm contact made Hugo's love xΓΉ get catharsis, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed.

"It's time for us to step forward." Al patted Hugo on the shoulder and looked directly in front of the theater seats, where Martin, Beau, and the others had already walked over. Hugo realized that this was the premiere of his film, and as the starring actor, the end of the film screening was not the end, and he still needed to accept interviews with the media and questions from the audience.

It was the first time Hugo had stood in front of everyone and was scrutinized, and it was a very different feeling from the red carpet of the premiere, where I felt like I was surrounded by flashing lights, and the warm atmosphere made it feel as if I could take off at any moment, which was a wonderful feeling.

"Hugo, your performance in the film is very exciting, it can be said that you are similar to the performance in 'Hudson's Eagle', did you have any special feelings during the filming?" Previously, most of the problems were still focused on director Martin and the actor Al, after all, they were the main ones, and as for Hugo as a supporting role, it took two rounds to usher in the first problem.

Faced with such a question, Hugo chuckled, "Well, I think the most important thing is to stop thinking about the last movie." Hugo's self-teasing made the scene burst into chuckles, "Al, who helped a lot in the filming of this film, is a great actor, and I must express my gratitude and respect." ”

"And what do you think of the Golden Raspberry Award?" Another reporter immediately threw out this exciting question.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and nodded slightly, "I hope Al won't be dragged down by me." Hugo's witty answer did not shy away from the sharp question, but also did not shy away from it with shame, but responded in a sideways way, with a little self-deprecation and humor, and at the same time reminded of Hugo's excitement at the Golden Raspberry Award ceremony, which was quite joyful.

The audience burst into laughter, and Al put his arm around Hugo's shoulder, then patted Hugo's chest, laughed and said, "If you have to be nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for a performance like this, then I don't mind winning the award." Al also expressed his support for Hugo positively in front of the media, which is very rare, but it made Hugo lose his wit just now, and laughed a little embarrassed.

Before the release of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", most of the media were not optimistic about this work, and this kind of negative remarks almost occupied a one-sided advantage, but because everyone did not have much expectations, after entering the cinema, the surprise was even greater. The media interviews after the premiere were a joyous affair, and while the reporters were still reluctant to let go of Hugo's Golden Raspberry Award, at least the atmosphere was no longer stiff and sarcastic.

However, it's one thing to have a vibe, it's another thing to write a review by a professional film critic, and don't forget that the audience's feedback is also a different thing. All of this is unknown.

When he got up early the next morning, Hugo, who couldn't sleep all night because he was worried about comments, walked to the kitchen with heavy and stiff steps like a walking dead with two dark circles under his eyes, and when he walked to the kitchen, Hugo forgot what he was going to do, and looked at the kitchen utensils around him with blank eyes, and could only float back to the living room like a ghost, hanging on the sofa like a deflated ball.

When Charlize woke up, he saw this scene, while Alex was standing at the bathroom door brushing his teeth, looking at Hugo on the sofa and smiling helplessly. Charlize walked to the bathroom door wearing a simple T-shirt and sweatpants and slippers, Alex was about to get out of the way for Charlize to use the bathroom, but Charlize stopped at the door and leaned against the wall, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Alex said vaguely, only hearing a "comment", Charlize immediately understood, it seems that Hugo is worried about the movie review of "Smell the Smell of Women". Alex went to spit out the foam in his mouth before he said again, "He just rummaged through the room last night, and I could hear his agitation through the wall." When he got up in the morning, he sat there for a quarter of an hour. At this point, Alex looked at Charlize and added excitedly, "It's just time since I got up." ”

Charlize and Alex have never experienced such a situation, so naturally they can't understand Hugo's anxiety, but find it a little funny. In fact, the two of them have been suing Hugo last night, and the media comments will definitely be good, because the response to the premiere is very good, and there is no need to worry at all, but no amount of comfort can soothe Hugo's inner anxiety.

Charlize pursed his lips, crossed his hands on his chest, walked to the side of the sofa, and kicked Hugo's left foot with his right foot, but Hugo turned his head slowly, but his amber eyes were covered by slender eyelashes, and he couldn't see the light in his eyes at all, just a blur. Charlize asked with a smile, "Haven't slept all night?" ”

"Possibly." Hugo's brain was sluggish, and he probably didn't know if he had slept or not slept last night. In the past, Hugo thought it was incredible to see other people's reviews of movies and box office gains and losses, but when it was his turn, Hugo knew what a terrible kind of torment it was.

Looking at Hugo's state, Charlize's mischievous psychology came out, she looked left and right, raised her hand and beckoned Alex to come over, and Alex walked over with a towel in his hand, and then saw Charlize gesture with his hands, Alex immediately laughed.

I saw two people holding up to one side of the sofa, and then shaking the sofa violently at the same time, and shouting in a panic, "Earthquake!" Earthquake! ”

Hugo, who was originally lying on the sofa and wandering in the world, jumped up directly, and shouted in his mouth, "Earthquake! Earthquake! Then he looked around, as if looking for a way to escape, but before he could take a step, he saw Charlize and Alex laughing beside him.

Only then did Hugo come to his senses, and looked around at the room where there was no shaking at all, and realized that he had been tricked by a prank. Hugo also smiled helplessly, and then thought about his stupid behavior just now, and laughed too, the more he thought about it, the funnier it became.

Hugo knew that his heart for gain and loss was still a little too heavy, otherwise he wouldn't have had a sleepless night last night. It is precisely because of the applause and support from the audience at the premiere that I have more expectations for media comments, and my mentality of suffering from gains and losses is really speechless.

At this time, someone opened the door of the room with a key, and you didn't need to look at it to know that it was Joseph, in order to facilitate work, Joseph and Carl were equipped with the key to the door on the third floor. Then as soon as Joseph came in, he saw three people standing on the couch, holding their stomachs and laughing, which made Joseph confused.

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

"Can't sleep." Joseph said frankly, and there was also a faint shadow under his eyes, and his nervousness was no less than Hugo's, or rather, more severe. Because Hugo still knows that the movie "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" is a classic that has received many recognitions, but Joseph does not have this advantage.

Taking a deep breath, Joseph spoke, "I just received the news that the first media comment has come out. ”

As soon as these words came out, Charlize and Alex's laughter also stopped, and they couldn't help but look at Joseph. Although they are not the parties involved, they are equally concerned about the results of Hugo's work. It's just that Alex's smile was too sudden, and he didn't change it in one breath, so he actually hiccuped, "Uh! Breaking the short silence, the three onlookers couldn't hold back for a moment, and they all burst out laughing.
