Hugo was a little surprised. Ilia offered to meet him.

Putting aside the infamy of selling friends and seeking honor, Ilia was once known for training actors in Hollywood. Not only did he introduce his acting skills from the former Soviet Union to the United States, but he also personally trained his acting representatives such as Malone Brando, Warren Beatty, Gregory Parker, etc. He has always been very picky about actors, and the actors he likes often shine brightly.

I just don’t know if Gregory mentioned Hugo while chatting with Elia, or because Hugo is so powerful in Hollywood now that Elia has heard of it for a moment before she became curious.

After the premiere, Hugo came to the lounge under the guidance of the staff and met with Joseph and others. Hugo discovered that the so-called lounge was actually a luxurious hotel suite. The spacious lobby was more than enough to use a hundred people to queue up. At this time, fruits, snacks, etc. were neatly placed on the coffee table in the center of the lobby. Samora was holding a black forest cake in her hand and was feasting.

When everyone saw Hugo coming in, everyone stood up. Only Samora was eating happily. She didn't have time to stand up for a while, but she was startled and almost choked, which made Hugo laugh, "Don't worry, I'm not the head of state."

Samora quickly picked up the teacup and drank it in big mouthfuls. Joseph looked at Samora who was enjoying her belly, and couldn't help but look envious. Then he said in a slightly sour tone, "It doesn't matter if it's slower, no one will compete with you anyway." This made Hugo laugh again: Joseph has been controlling his diet for more than a year, but because his exercise time is irregular, the purpose of controlling his weight has not been achieved, which makes Joseph very depressed.

But Samora had been used to it and laughed haha. Joseph didn't say anything more, forcibly turned his vision on the toast cake and threw it on Hugo, "How is the premiere? Are everything okay? Do you need to go for a break now, or prepare for lunch first?"

"Rest?" Hugo looked at Joseph in surprise, and Joseph pointed to both sides of the hall, "There are rooms for rest on both wings, and no one will disturb you."

Only then did Hugo realize that the entire suite was the space for him to rest today, and such treatment was not felt at the Cannes Film Festival before. Moreover, Hugo announced the world at the last moment that he would attend the Berlin Film Festival. The organizing committee made such arrangements in a temporary situation. It should be noted that the hotel rooms during the festival were very nervous, which shows their importance to Hugo.

Joseph took a step away and revealed the spacious space behind the three long sofas in the hall, facing the balcony of the room. At this time, there was a long table for regular dining, which was neat as new as a dining tray, reflecting the sun's light, "If you want to dine first, their chef is ready."

"Is this our request?" Hugo was very surprised. Although he is now the top presence in the United States, there was almost no publicity and no activities in the second half of last year. Most of the time, he was either on the crew or resting by himself, so he never felt such treatment. This time he came to Berlin, which really opened Hugo's eyes.

For superstars, such treatment is not surprising. However, many times it is not necessarily what the artist himself requires, but more of the managers around him. The so-called fake tiger power requested by the agent is probably the most common situation. Therefore, the circle has always believed that an excellent manager can become the most powerful helper of an artist, but a bad manager can ruin the artist's career. Macaulay Culkin is a typical case.

Joseph shook his head, "This was arranged by the Berlin Film Festival." Joseph also knew that Hugo had never cared about these things about glory until he died and had never heard Hugo complain about these small details when he was on the road tour, so he just put forward basic requirements based on Hugo's habits: ban smoking.

Unexpectedly, there was such a surprise.

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. No wonder everyone said that the enjoyment of rich people is endless. Even those who have never experienced it will feel poor even if they imagined it. Joseph stood aside and continued to speak, "This afternoon is the time for interviews. First, there is a public press conference. After that, you, Tim, Susan and others will come separately for interviews one by one. I just made a simple order arrangement. You can quickly determine it so that the order of Tim and their interviews can be determined."

Hugo looked at Joseph in confusion, and these things were unheard of. Joseph explained, "I hope there are too many media interviews with you. We need to set a certain order and also screen the media. After you determine it here, other people can determine the order of interviewing Tim, Susan based on our list."

Simply put, everything is about Hugo as the center.

Unlike after the film's screening, the discussion between the audience and Tim was in full swing. When it entered the interview promotion stage, Hugo became the first focus. Almost all media arriving in Berlin would not miss this opportunity. If all nearly 2,000 reporters participated in the interview, even if Hugo did not eat, drink or sleep, it would not end. Therefore, there would inevitably be media that could only get the interview press release at the press conference, which also made the competition for interview rights particularly fierce.

The same is true for the order, because Hugo's energy during the interview will definitely decrease gradually. In advance interviews are not only beneficial, but also the time will be relaxed. In the later media, Hugo's attention will not only decrease, but also the interview will be cancelled if he is really tired.

This reminds Hugo of the interview he was promoting "pulp novels" at the Cannes Film Festival. The interview wheel battle is still fresh in memory. After receiving dozens or hundreds of interviews, his whole brain will turn into a ball of paste. The taste is really unforgettable.

This year in Berlin, the scale of the interview will only be larger or smaller than that in Cannes, but Hugo has the initiative in choosing, which is a drastic change.

"How many media are there in total?" Hugo took the list in Joseph's hand, and it turned out to be a thick stack of paper, which was really terrifying.

However, it was not Joseph who was responsible for the explanation, but Samora who was wiping the cream on his mouth in a hurry. "I'm responsible, me!" Then he struggled to stand up, walked to Hugo's side a few steps, and then quickly explained, "There are a total of 207 media from forty-three countries and regions. I discussed it with Qiao, and it was divided into three stages. First, the media that was interviewed separately, and then the media that were interviewed together. The remaining ones were interviewed together. "

Two hundred and 20 media... Just hearing this set of numbers, Hugo was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's good that you decide, you decide, I can't recognize these media after seeing them anyway." Even if each media only accepts ten minutes of visits, it will take nearly two days. Even if you group them according to the method Samora said, it will probably take a whole day.

Just thinking about it, Hugo felt his brain cramps.

Such a superstar treatment is unique throughout the Berlin Film Festival. From this detail, we can see Hugo's strong influence worldwide. Even in the deserted and solemn Berlin Film Festival, we feel such a hot fanaticism. It is hard to imagine how crazy the scene would have been if Hugo appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year.

But such a superstar treatment also makes people feel a heavy burden. It is true that you have to pay as much as you gain. Especially in occasions like a film festival, if an actor refuses to cooperate with the media's interview and publicity because he is too tired, the rumors of being a big shot will be known within an hour.

In society, it is never easy to be truly dedicated and win the love of most people; but in the small circle of entertainment, it is even more difficult.

In this regard, Hugo had long been mentally prepared. The aura of superstars represents not only supreme and screaming, but also unknown hardships. But even so, when he truly felt the weight of the list in his hand, Hugo couldn't help but be amazed. Sure enough, there is always a difference between imagination and reality. Unless he has experienced it personally, he will never know what it feels like.

Looking at the long list in his hand, Hugo took a deep breath, "Let's do this, let's start with lunch so that we can have the energy to do the next work, right?"

The 46th Berlin Film Festival officially opened on February 15th. The star-studded Berlin ushered in the warm sun in winter, and the noisy atmosphere always permeated every corner of this weather-beaten city. However, it was not until the 24th, two days before the closing that the film festival ushered in a true peak frenzy, and even showed a fanaticism and surging that was no less than the Cannes Film Festival, just because Hugo arrived in Berlin in person to promote the "Death-in-Language Walk".

The Berlin Film Festival, which has always been neglected, is in full swing!

The flying snowflakes and the whistling and cold wind did not reduce the warm and prosperous atmosphere of the film festival at all. Before the opening of the film festival, there were as many as 1,831 journalists officially registered, which was also the best achievement since the founding of the film festival. However, after the "Death Prisoner Walk" was released, there were 383 more applicants, hoping to be qualified to enter the closing ceremony.

If you open the world map, you can find that journalists from North America and other countries in Europe flocked to it. The surging wave made the deserted Berlin purple overnight, becoming the most popular existence around the world. Even the Grammy, which is about to kick off this weekend, was completely stolen from the limelight.
