Hugo is the focus, not only on the red carpet, but also inside Doroth Chandler Hall. The endless crowds of people left Hugo without any room to breathe, and could only socialize with everyone.

Mark Canton left, and then Susan Sarandon came over with a glass of champagne. "I heard recently that Columbia Pictures is thinking again. Today Mark Canton actually took action in person."

Everyone knows that this is Hollywood, there is no need to hang themselves on a tree. There are countless excellent actors, and any film company is like this, let alone the eight major film companies. However, Columbia Pictures has a persistent spirit of persistence towards Hugo, which has started a year and a half ago during the World Cup. Even though Hugo never likes their scripts, Mark is not in a hurry or angry. He visits in person every now and then, without the arrogance and attitude of the top leader of Columbia Pictures.

Although Mark Canton seemed to be half a beat slower than Kevin Pence, he never really thought about Hugo's thoughts. Every time Columbia Pictures delivered to him, the scripts were uneven. It took so long but he still couldn't really reach a cooperation. But it is undeniable that Mark's patience and sincerity were far higher than Kevin. This sincerity even made Hugo feel embarrassed even if Hugo knew that it was still the cause of interests.

Facing Susan's joke, Hugo chuckled and refused to comment, "Where is Tim? Could it be that he was tripped by some critical occasion? You sneaked out by yourself?"

Susan did not politely with Hugo, shook her head and said directly, "No, I came here to find you. I have a friend who wants to introduce you to you."

"Friend?" Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, "I actually mobilized Susan to take action. It seems to be a character." This joke seemed to refute Susan's joke to Mark Canton just now, which made Susan chuckle.

Under Susan's leadership, Hugo soon saw Joe Schumacher among the crowd.

When it comes to Joe, there is no doubt that everyone knows that he is a successful commercial director. "Batman forever", "Killing Moment", "Sniper Phone Booth", and "8mm (8mm)" are all his works. He once gave Batman works a new vitality, but unfortunately, the subsequent "Batman and Robin" easily ruined everything.

However, in Joe's directorial career, in addition to his outstanding commercial achievements, he also gave many works impressive ideological connotations, especially in his fifties, he created outstanding works such as "city hero", "ultimate witness", and "moment of killing". Movies often reflect the dark side and fear of human nature, which is thought-provoking and has won a lot of praise.

Susan worked with Joe last year on “The Ultimate Witness”, and the film once again won Susan’s Oscar nomination for Best Actress. So, it’s not uncommon for Susan to introduce Hugo and Joe to each other today.

Joe didn't have any in-depth conversations with Hugo, but just gave a simple and polite greeting, as if it was just a meeting in a social situation. Susan's explanation was that "he heard of your name and always wanted to meet you, but he just didn't have a chance", so Hugo didn't think much about it.

Immediately afterwards, Hugo saw Lang Meyer standing not far away.

To be honest, Hugo and Lang had very little intersection, because after the Golden Raspberry Award, he was both a member of Joseph's artist, and he had only a handful of encounters with Lang. However, Hugo completely integrated his memory and was naturally familiar with Lang. But later, Lang left the International Innovation Management Company and switched to Universal Pictures. The two had even fewer opportunities to confront each other head-on, and most of the time it was Rick and Lang.

Hugo didn't expect that Lang would appear at today's Oscar scene. He couldn't help but think about it carefully. He just saw Mark, Kevin, Shirley Lansing... These bosses of top production companies appeared at the Oscars ceremony abnormally, forcing Hugo to think more.

The Oscars are more of a feast for practitioners. Big guys like Lang Meyer often watch the ceremony at home. Even if they arrive at the scene, they will come to attend the Oscar night after the awards ceremony and will hardly appear at the awards ceremony. After all, they are not professional film practitioners at all.

Today's abnormality made Hugo puzzled and didn't know what was going on. But if you think about it carefully, the film industry has been in turmoil since last year and has been brewing a large-scale change. Hugo knew about this because this change finally reached its peak under the catalysis of the "Titanic". Therefore, these big guys probably noticed something and then went out in full force.

However, these thoughts were just flashing through Hugo's mind. His understanding of these things was too one-sided and too superficial, so he was unwilling to spend time thinking deeply. Looking at Lang not far away, the two people's eyes were just in touch. Hugo just politely pointed his chin and then prepared to leave, but he didn't expect Lang to take the initiative to take the initiative to welcome him.

Hugo originally wanted to pretend that he didn't see it and left straight away, but when he saw the scene of drinking and crowing around him, Hugo knew that he could hide from the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the year, so he did not hesitate for too long, but stopped, stood there, waiting for Lang to come over.

"I thought you would leave." Lang said with a calm voice and a smile.

Compared to Lang in my impression, Lang in front of me seems to be more restrained and calmer. Although Lang in my past remembered, although he was deeply scheming, his temper was inevitably impetuous. However, obviously, over the years, Lang has become more and more like a helm of a large production company.

"If I remember correctly, I should not have any debts on it." Hugo also chuckled, but it was not a joke, but a bit funny. This so-called "debt" is really worth thinking about.

After hearing this, Lang did not react much, but just smiled slightly, "Now, looking back on some of the things I had at the beginning, I regretted it and missed 'Hugo-Lancaster'." Lang added the article "the" in front of his name to emphasize Hugo's uniqueness and showed his importance.

Hugo was quite surprised that Lang took the initiative to mention this matter calmly. He did not hide the accident, but said slightly surprised, "I thought you would have thought that this happened without it." Lang could be said to have given up on Hugo directly. Although the reasons were very complicated, it is undeniable that Lang looked at Hugo completely with the mood of putting in the wrong, otherwise he would not have encouraged Hugo to attend the Golden Raspberry Award.

Lang did not get angry as usual about Hugo's sarcasm, but instead chuckled, "No one can't get over money, right?" This pun was meaningful, as if it was implying that if Hugo could cooperate with Universal Pictures, it would be a win-win situation.

"I don't know, maybe I'll be willing to try it." Hugo's teasing tone made Lang stunned. He remembered that Hugo's maximum pay was not over eight million before "Independence Day", and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, Hugo." When he looked back, he saw Tom Hanks' figure. Lang did not continue to say anything more. He politely greeted Tom and Hugo separately, and then turned and left. "How are you?" Tom asked with concern.

Tom had more or less heard of Hugo and Lang's things. Hugo chuckled and shook his head, "It's okay."

Tom attended tonight as the awards presenter of Best Actress. Although his outstanding performance in "Apollo 13" failed to win the nomination, Tom's mentality was very good. After all, he achieved an incredible reunion in the previous two years. It can be seen that he was very relaxed. "I just met Meryl, and she said she hasn't seen you until now. How about it, don't you go over and say hello?"

Meryl Streep, although Hugo had never really had a good conversation with her, Meryl was always very friendly to Hugo. Even during the Golden Globes celebration banquet, she took the initiative to lend a helping hand to Hugo. So, when he went to visit Meryl, Hugo was very happy, but Hugo still deliberately let out a long breath and sighed helplessly, "It's a busy night." This made Tom laugh.

Indeed, as Hollywood's biggest annual party, social activities were very frequent and intensive before the award ceremony officially began. Not only Hugo, but also Nicholas Cage, Brad Pitt and others, including actors who did not win the nomination. Even second- and third-tier actors, as long as they can be qualified to appear, will become a stage for them to show their strength.

Just look at the actions of Mark, Kevin, Lang and others just now. Their conversation with Hugo is definitely not just polite. Everyone's conversation is profound, otherwise they don't need to introduce each other, get to know each other, and talk to each other. In this occasion, opportunities are everywhere. Just like Oscar night, the real meaning of attending such an occasion is not only the exposure rate, but also the infinite possibilities for future development. This is also the fundamental reason why Oscars always have a transcendent status, which is incomparable even for the Golden Globe Awards that have been operating for many years.
