Faced with the reporters' attacks like a tide, Hugo had a certain master style. He waved his hand and dissolved the attack invisibly, and also heated up the atmosphere on the scene, which made the interview session unable to end for a long time, neither the reporter nor the movie fans were willing to let Hugo leave. The staff on the scene reminded Warner of the time three times, and the final five-minute interview lasted for nearly twenty-five minutes before it ended.

After Hugo said goodbye to Warner, he didn't have time to say hello to the others, and ran to the screening room. The four bodyguards waiting in the backstage, Joseph, Samora and others saw Hugo's figure and ran over. Finally, after watching Hugo enter the screening room, Joseph and his group stopped and they would go to the special lounge to wait until the movie was over.

When Hugo walked into the screening room, he saw that the entire hall was already full of seats. Then Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and others stood in the open space in front, gathering together in groups of three or three to chat. Seeing Hugo coming in, applause rang one after another, and then it became a whole, shaking the entire screening room like thunder. The vigorous applause made Hugo truly feel the enthusiasm and madness of the audience in the film festival.

"Man, you're late, I almost thought you wouldn't show up today." Tim came up first and gave Hugo a big hug. Without waiting for Hugo to answer, Tim pulled Hugo forward, "Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to a friend."

First, when Hugo saw a crutch, then looked up along the crutch, he saw an old gentleman wearing a well-behaved white shirt and black suit, and even the most formal three-piece suit. His curved back could not conceal his straightness and perseverance.

Since the light in the cinema is not bright, the wrinkles on the old man's face reflect many shadows, making it difficult to see his facial features, and can only vaguely see about half. However, Hugo was searching for information in his mind. The old man who could be "friend" by Tim and was invited to the Berlin Film Festival, and the answer was about to come out...

"Sir, let me introduce you. This is Hugo Lancaster, who I worked very happily during this shooting process." Tim smiled and recommended him to the other party, then turned to look at Hugo, "Hugo, this is Mr. Kazan."

The old man in front of him was very slow, slowly lifting his chin, and his gaze looked at Hugo's eyes carefully, as if he wanted to find something out from Hugo's eyes. The turbid eyes were hidden under the long eyebrows and messy eyelashes, which made Hugo unable to see clearly. He only felt that he was being looked at naked, but he could not figure out the other party. The old man's gaze slowly fell, and he looked at Hugo carefully and carefully. The gaze was not covered at all, just like a laser light, trying to study Hugo's inside and out.

This line of sight made Hugo feel very uncomfortable. Not only was he awkward all over his body, but he was completely stripped naked and stood there for scrutiny. It was like the Jews who were judged by Nazis on the "Schindler's List".

"Sir, I'm very happy to know you." Hugo interrupted the old man's gaze, walked a little step forward, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and looked at the old man with a smile.

This action was obviously beyond the old man's expectations. He had to raise his head and look at Hugo's eyes again, thinking carefully, as if he wanted to explore the secrets in his heart from Hugo's sight, but his right hand had no intention of lifting it up at all, just hanging Hugo's right hand in the air.

But Hugo didn't mind. He kept smiling and kept moving, motionless. His smile was calm and free, without any embarrassment or stiffness. He just smiled kindly and looked straight into the old man's eyes without any fear, and boldly accepted the baptism of his eyes.

For a moment, the atmosphere became stiff.

Speaking of the greatest directors in film history, almost everyone will have different answers, from John Ford, William Wyler, Billy Wilder, to Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Clint Eastwood, to Paul Thomas Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, who have never been recognized for his lifetime but have created miracles of genre films...

Among the many director lists, Elya Kazan is also a name that cannot be ignored. As a director, he has cultivated famous actors such as Malone Brando, James Dean, and Warren Beatty, and has been famous in history for his works such as "Desire and Hope Street Car", "East of the Garden of Eden", and "Water Storm".

Ilya's greatest contribution to the film process is that he highly praised the acting skills of the Phrasal School. Not only did he introduce this performance method from the former Soviet Union to the United States, but he also carried it forward. Until 2014, the Phrasal School was the most important acting faction in the world.

But behind the countless glory of Ilia, there is a dark history that everyone is ashamed of.

The Greek identity of Turkey-born is one of his important tags. He briefly joined the Communist Party in the 1930s, and later chose to leave because of his dissatisfaction with Stalinism. In the 1950s, Ilia became an important coordinate of the "blacklist" incident in the American Hollywood politics. He adopted the highest attitude during the McCarthyism period. He testified for members in the House of Representatives' non-US behavior investigation and exposed other people's behavior. As a result, liberal directors, screenwriters such as Charlie Chaplin and Orson Wells were forced to flee overseas, and his career reached its peak after that.

Even in the late 1960s, when Elijah withdrew from the entertainment industry, his name of selling friends for honor was still accomplices. He always refused to apologize for the blacklist incident, and he did not think he was guilty. This behavior made him controversial in Hollywood. In 1999, the Oscar awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to Elijah, who won the Oscar nomination for Best Director five times and won two Little Golden Man. At the award ceremony that night, some applauded and some applauded.

This year, the 46th Berlin Film Festival will present the Lifetime Achievement Awards to Ilia Kazan and Jack Lemon, so Ilia, who is already 85 years old, appeared in Berlin.

Regarding art, many people actually insist that art belongs to art and character belongs to character, just like Roman Polansky.

The famous French director, who was accused of forcing a thirteen-year-old girl in 1977, was arrested in California. Roman spent 42 days to defend her. The judge finally hesitated. But just before the further legal proceedings began, he fled the United States and settled in Paris. Although he avoided prison, he never set foot on American territory again in his life.

In 2002, Roman directed "Pianoist" won the Oscars for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay Little Golden Man, and won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Of course, Roman did not go to the United States to receive the award.

This is the idea in the art world, just as people cannot pursue the character of artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet because artists often can be linked to words such as alcohol, poison, abuse, and intercourse. The work is a work. Even if the character does not meet moral standards, the artistic nature of the work cannot be denied.

The same is true for Ilia. Even though he was illegitimate for selling friends and seeking honor, the Oscars at the Berlin Film Festival were awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to Ilia based on his great artistic contributions.

Hugo knew this and he understood it, but it was difficult for him to accept it. Aside from the fact that Roman had violated the law, even if we simply put Elijah's moral issues, it was difficult for Hugo to express his understanding of betrayal, especially the betrayal that failed to live up to trust. This is his bottom line.

Of course, many things are not that simple. Ilia had a historical background when she experienced the "blacklist" incident. At that time, the environment, the mentality, and the situation at that time, Hugo knew nothing about it. He could not make a subjective judgment just to determine that Ilia was a bad person. But from a emotional perspective, Hugo was difficult to accept.

Therefore, when I realized that the other party was Ilia, Hugo did not show disgust in an exaggerated manner, but was not too excited or too flattering, but just showed his politeness. Especially when Ilia looked at him with that picky scrutiny, Hugo not only did not retreat, but instead took the initiative to attack. This was not very similar to Hugo's usual personality. If it were normal, Hugo would probably feel a little embarrassed and then stood there to be baptism, but today it was different.

Tim, Susan and others looked at Hugo in surprise. They didn't expect Hugo to act like this; and Ilia did not intend to hold Hugo's right hand, which was even more surprising. The scene became stiff for a moment. This made Tim feel a little uneasy. He originally felt that out of politeness and respect for Ilia. After all, Ilia came here to introduce the two people to the "Death Prison Walk" to the "Death Guard" to the scene, but he didn't expect that the situation was a little uncontrollable now.

Just as Tim was about to speak to relieve the embarrassment, Elia raised her hand, gently touched Hugo's palm, then put her hand down, and slightly pointed her chin, "You look okay, barely a bit of a Malong posture."

It is not easy to get Ilia's praise, not to mention that he compared Hugo with Malone Brando, which is absolutely rare.

However, Hugo smiled politely, put down his right hand naturally, and said without hesitation, "Thank you for your praise, but I'm obviously not Mr. Brando." This sentence made Elia stunned and couldn't help but look at Hugo for a long time, but Hugo looked away and said to Tim, "I think the movie is about to begin. Today's protagonist should be the movie and the audience. Let's not take away the protagonist's light here."

Why does this atmosphere feel a bit strange?
