Chapter 1734 1734 Stars over the moon

Hugo took the elevator to the third floor. Before he could get out of the elevator, he heard a noise outside, which made Hugo raise his eyebrows in surprise. The third floor is the hotel's breakfast dining area, but he was a little late today. He originally thought he had avoided the peak breakfast period, but it was still so lively outside.

Joseph took the lead and Hugo followed closely. Then he saw Joseph stop and gave Hugo a helpless look. Since Joseph's big weight loss plan never worked, Hugo turned to the side, saw the noise in front of him, rolled his eyes, and then quickly sorted out his expression, with a polite smile on his lips.

Mark Canton walked towards him with a smile on his face, "Look, who is this." He was obviously looking forward to Hugo, but he wanted to make a surprise expression. "I didn't expect you to have breakfast at this time. It seems that today has a wonderful beginning."

"If this sentence was said by Shirley behind you, I would be in a better mood." Hugo's teasing made Mark laugh, and then he turned his head to look in Hugo's sight. Shirley Lansing's smiling face came to him. Mark couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Shark", but his expression did not change, and he took the initiative to meet him, "Hey, Shirley, why didn't you see Ralph?"

Just one sentence implies a fact: Shirley and Ralph Fiennes had a very happy conversation just now and had a close relationship.

As for Mark's hint, Shirley's eyes flashed slightly, but she was not panicked, and said generously, "Ralph is right behind. He knew that Hugo came over and said he would definitely come over and say hello." As he spoke, Shirley walked to the side and greeted Hugo. "Ralph said, "He also received an invitation to interview the role of the 'Schindler's List', but unfortunately you took the lead. He wanted to have a good talk with you."

This is obviously about Ralph Fiennes. After the "British Patient" starring him was released at the end of last year, it was very popular, winning a win-win situation in box office and reputation, and he himself received a lot of praise.

Mark opened his mouth and wanted to interrupt, but he quickly restrained himself and stood quietly with a smile. Because Mark also realized that he was always anxious. Although most of the time, this was not a big problem, in front of old foxes like Shirley, he often lost the initiative, so he needed to control it a little.

Shirley naturally walked to Hugo, while Joseph and Mark followed closely behind.

When you walk into the breakfast dining area, it is not much different from the ordinary restaurant. You can see four-person square tables scattered, but at this time, more than two-thirds of the dining tables are sitting, which makes the entire breakfast dining area look lively. Even if no one makes a loud noise and just talks in a low voice, the sound gathers together, which makes the entire corridor echo.

Seeing Hugo walk in, many people turned their heads and smiled and waved or nodded to Hugo. This hotel was originally one of the three official hotels of the Berlin Film Festival, so almost all those living here were industry insiders. Not only were there crews from all over the world participating in the film exhibition, but also reporters flocking to interview from all corners of the world.

However, these faces seem so unfamiliar to Hugo's eyes, patients with facial blindness are terminally ill.

Hugo sat down at an empty dining table of four people. Mark and Shirley naturally sat down next to him. In addition, Joseph was the seats full. It seemed that the rest of the people who were slowing down could only stop moving for the time being. Mark and Shirley were both slow and chatted with Hugo about their works released at the Berlin Film Festival in the past few days, which aroused a lot of interest from Hugo.

During this period, Ralph came over and said hello, and then Luc Besson arrived as expected as expected. What is certain is that Mark's confident work is indeed the "fifth element". However, today Mark did not make it clear, so Hugo pretended not to know and was still having a good conversation.

After breakfast was finished, Lang Meyer and Robert Sayer made a comeback during the coffee time. Mark and Shirley both found an excuse to give up their position. What surprised Hugo the most was that Michael Rossell came over to say hello to him.

Since Michael didn't say anything, he just greeted him and expressed his expectations for the next performance of "Storm". The direct result was that until Michael left, Hugo didn't know who he was because he had never met the head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Margaret Blairycon, and Michael Rossell.

"Who was that person just now?" After Long and Robert left one after another, and then sent away the editor-in-chief of "Picture News" and "Movie Manual". Hugo finally had the opportunity to ask Joseph quietly.

Joseph naturally knew about Hugo's problems. Those who met for the first time all introduced themselves, so he knew who Hugo was talking about and lowered his voice to explain. As a result, Hugo not only did not resolve his doubts, but looked at Joseph even more confused because he really didn't understand what the head of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had to do with him, just as the dean of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences suddenly appeared in front of Hugo, which made no sense!

But before Hugo could speak, Joseph gave Hugo a look. Hugo immediately turned his head, cheered up, and saw Barry Meyer in front of him.

"Hey, Barry, do you need a cup of coffee?" Joseph said hello, then turned to Hugo and whispered in a lip shape, "Warner."

Barry noticed Joseph's actions, but didn't care at all. The top Hollywood players all know that Hugo can't remember human faces, let alone names. Almost every time he meets Joseph or Samora, he even needs to remind him. Once Hugo met Kevin Pence while alone. The two chatted for twenty minutes. When Kevin left, Hugo found Joseph and asked "who is that". This matter was heard by Steven Spielberg, who was standing aside, and since then it became a joke in the circle.

Interestingly, Michael Rossell didn't know about this.

Barry took the initiative to extend his right hand to Hugo, "I see that there are too many guests coming to visit today, and I think it would be rude if I don't show up." Barry spoke very directly, but compared to Mark, he had a little more sleekness. He said the same or similar words, with a hint of joking and teasing, and the whole atmosphere seemed relaxed.

Hugo couldn't help laughing at Barry's straightforwardness, "You know, the hotel lobby has always been so busy."

As Barry said, except for Kevin who only greeted him from afar and did not come over, almost all other important figures showed up in front of Hugo. Although he had no serious talk, he could still feel Hugo's influence on the film industry. However, Hugo interpreted in such an ingenious way, which made Barry laugh.

"If the hotel lobby managers are so charming, then I would like to live in this hotel every time." After Barry's teasing, he covered his mouth and whispered, "The premise is not to tell my wife that." Both Hugo and Joseph burst into laughter.

Hugo raised his hands and surrendered, saying that he had nothing to say.

Barry didn't have any special expression, and sat upright again and said with a smile, "As far as I know, you are very interested in American culture in the 1960s and 1970s." Hugo showed a puzzled expression, obviously not understanding what Barry's words meant, but Barry was not in a hurry, and then said, "That was the most prosperous era of rock."

People all over the world know the importance of glory to death to Hugo. Now glory to death is creating history step by step, which makes people see Hugo's talent. The album "Storm and Storm" is awakening this generation's memories of the golden age. So, Barry is talking about a well-known fact, but his interpretation is very interesting, starting with the culture of the 1960s and 1970s.

Sure enough, Hugo showed a surprised expression, "It's true. In fact, it was an era of cultural explosion, with countless ideas and ideas impacting me, and I grew up in such an atmosphere. So I was very interested in that era." To be more precise, a large number of cultural traces from the sixties and seventies can be found in "puwa" and not just rock, but also retro. Hugo also had many interests in the social, economic, cultural and ideological formation of those eras.

"Then you must have understood the 1950s." Barry's words made Hugo stunned. Hugo shook his head. He didn't know much about that era. Barry laughed, "Hugo, you are a classical literature, you should know better than me that the inheritance of culture is closely related to society. It is not the right way to separate the ages."

Barry is right. If you really like the culture of a certain era, even if you don’t need to know the era of inheriting the past and the future, you need to at least understand it. However, Hugo felt that it was quite inconsistent because no top boss would talk to him about cultural heritage, and when the object was Barry, it became even more strange.

Barry Mayer, the head of Warner Brothers, the most greedy, cunning and decisive decision-maker among the top leaders of Hollywood's eight film companies. He actually talked about cultural heritage with himself? This...

"If you study it carefully, you will find that Los Angeles in the 1950s was like San Francisco in the mid-century. It was a golden land that made everyone jealous. The sunshine, beauty, and the wealth that was within reach and the Hollywood film industry were intertwined with a very tempting scene." Barry's next words were still not abnormal, but the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed some clues.
