When Hugo appeared on the red carpet, the reporter was interviewing Ishiguro Kazuo. Nicholas McClen saw Hugo with sharp eyes. He had already received news that Hugo would attend the premiere of "Money Empire" today, so he kept his mind waiting for Hugo to appear.

Originally, Nicholas wanted to rush over and asked if Hugo really planned to leave Cannes tomorrow and did not attend the closing ceremony and award ceremony. However, before he could take a step, Nicholas noticed Ishiguro Ishiguro, who was one step away. When his eyes turned, he stretched out his recorder and asked loudly, "Mr. Ishiguro, what do you think of the 'pulp novels' that have become a hot topic of discussion in the past two days?"

Ishiguro Kazuo seemed a little surprised by this issue, because today is the premiere of "The Empire of Money". It seems that Ishiguro Kazuo did not understand the only goal of journalists: for the sake of explosive points, journalists are willing to do anything, which is the core interest of entertainment journalists.

Due to my inner surprise, Ishiguro Kazuo's expression suddenly became a little stiff. He coughed twice, "This is a very good film, but personally, I don't often appreciate such works, so I can't make a judgment. I think maybe I should communicate with others more."

Ishiguro Kazuo originally thought he was so polite, so he dealt with it, but he didn't expect Nicholas to let him go. He saw Hugo approaching here from the bottom of his eyes, and couldn't help asking, "So, what you mean is that you can't understand 'pulp novels'?"

Journalists always have this ability and understand the other party's answers in their own way. Nicholas is no exception. Although Nicholas and Hugo have been getting along very happily in the past two years, no one will forget that Nicholas and Hugo were initially tit-for-tat, and this is also an important reason why Nicholas was able to become a top journalist: his keenness and interpretation are particularly outstanding.

Ishiguro Ishiguro was stunned for a moment. He was surprised again. He was obviously not the one who often deals with reporters like Hugo. He was stunned and stood there, with his mouth slightly open and he didn't answer, looking a little disrespectful. It was not until Nicholas repeated his question for the second time that Ishiguro Ishiguro reacted.

"Uh... no, I won't say that." Ishiguro Kazuo tried to find the exact words, but he was caught off guard by a reporter, but it was difficult to react in time. In the end, he himself didn't know what he said. "In fact, from my personal aesthetic point of view, I don't like the work of 'Pulp Novel'. It's just a simple gangster movie, full of violence and blood. Apart from some retro memories, I don't think the movie has any deep meaning, nor do I think the movie has any wonderful things. In fact, I think it's a very boring movie. When I finished watching it, it's hard for me to remember what the movie actually tells."

Ishiguro Kazuo's speech still maintained the rhythm of his previous speech, but his brain's reaction was a little slow. Sometimes people would have this situation: the words reacted first than the brain, and after they finished speaking, they realized what they said and did just impulsively, and sometimes they could not even react to what their words or actions meant. At this time, Ishiguro Kazuo was in this state.

"But the professional film reviews in the past two days think this is a very exciting movie and interprets many details of the movie." Nicholas also keenly noticed Ishiguro Kazuo's state, and a sly light flashed in his eyes. In fact, most people in the entertainment industry don't know how to deal with the relationship with reporters, so professional public relations companies appear. Some weird things like Hugo can grow up on their own. There have been some in Hollywood, but there have never been many. So Nicholas didn't give Ishiguro Kazuo a chance to breathe, and then continued to ask, "Or, as a writer, you don't know much about the form of the movie?"

"No, I don't think so." Ishiguro Kazuo was already led by Nicholas in the nose, and unknowingly expressed his truest thoughts. "The only impression I left in this movie is countless nonsense, endless nagging, and the movie does not have an accurate theme, just a lot of violent and meaningless splicing, so I don't think it is so outstanding. This is just a boring work of self-splicing by movie lovers."

After Ishiguro Kazuo finished speaking, his brain finally reacted and kept up with the speed of his speech, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but then he convinced himself: everyone has the right to express their opinions, not to mention that this is a film festival, which originally allowed a variety of views, which calmed down Ishiguro Kazuo.

However, Ishiguro Kazuo originally wanted to say something like "This is just my personal opinion" to ease the atmosphere, but found that the reporter's eyes were focused behind him, and many reporters also had a gloating of watching the show, which made Ishiguro Kazuo suddenly feel an ominous premonition.

Ishiguro Kazuo turned his head and saw Hugo's gentle smile, "God!" Such a wail continued to echo in Ishiguro Kazuo's mind. It was not a big deal to say bad things behind the scenes or criticize others behind the scenes. The point is that the other party was on the scene and was caught in the current situation. This is too embarrassing. Ishiguro Kazuo felt that he wanted to find a hole to crawl in.

However, Hugo saw the smug smile on Nicholas's face at a glance, which made him feel a little amused. Listening to others saying bad things about his works in front of him, this was the first time Hugo faced this kind of thing, which was very strange. It was more of a funny feeling than angry.

In fact, it is like when those film critics criticize a certain work in the newspaper, this will make the actors and directors sad or even angry. They will want to settle the score with the film critics in anger and some people will even do this, directly swaying toward each other; but this face-to-face reprimand will still embarrass both sides, and even the politeness in appearance may not be maintained.

Ishiguro Kazuo, this person is very unfamiliar with Hugo, but he should not be unfamiliar with it, because he is the original author of the novel adapted from the movie "Say goodbye to the Heaven of Love". He was born in Japan, but went to the UK at the age of five. He is known as the three British immigrant literature masterpiece. His literary achievements are indeed admirable. The original work "Say goodbye to the Heaven of Love" "The Long Day is about to end" can be regarded as his pinnacle work.

It is precisely because of this that Ishiguro Kazuo was invited to become a member of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival. This is also the style of Cannes. Not only film professionals, but also judges from all walks of life can become members of the jury. That's why Ishiguro Kazuo attended the premiere of "Money Empire" today, so Nicholas asked his opinion on "pulp novels" that he could not avoid because he was a judge, and commenting on the entries was his job.

Although Ishiguro Kazuo and Hugo have never met, Ishiguro Kazuo is indeed difficult to have a good impression of Hugo. It is not because "Say goodbye to Youhuitian" was defeated by "Schindler's list", which is all about the movie and has no direct contact with him as the author; but because of the unfair competition behavior of "Say goodbye to Youhuitian" after its release, this not only lost the reputation of the film crew, but also a humiliation to the original author. Therefore, although Ishiguro Kazuo and Hugo have no hatred, it is difficult for him to say that he "likes" Hugo.

Now, Ishiguro Kazuo criticized "pulp novels" and was caught by Hugo on the spot, which immediately made the reporters excited. Nicholas was obviously looking forward to Hugo's reaction. In an instant, everyone's eyes looked at Hugo.

Hugo originally didn't want to come over, so he could have taken it as if he hadn't heard it and left straight away to avoid making Ishiguro Kazuo even more embarrassed. After all, Ishiguro Kazuo is a judge. He has the right to express his views on "Pulp Novels", while Hugo has no right to force the other party to like the movie "Pulp Novels".

But the reporters' focus of their eyes made Hugo unable to ignore it. He could only smile, take two steps in the direction of Ishiguro Kazuo, stop in front of the reporter, and then pretend to be angry, "I just seemed to hear the gentleman say 'pulp novel' is very boring, which is unforgivable. Even if you can say 'pulp novel' is not good, has no connotation, or even bad, I don't think it is a boring movie. It seems that not everyone can understand the black humorous plots in it, which is a pity."

Hugo's pretentious words seemed to be joking on the surface, but it made Ishiguro Kazuo a little confused about how to respond, because Hugo was ridiculing the black humor he couldn't understand the movie, which was a fact, which made him unable to refute it at all.

However, when the reporters heard Hugo's undestructive answer, they all showed disappointment. It seemed that Hugo would not easily reveal flaws now. It was a clichéd scene, which was really boring.

However, Nicholas did not give up easily. He noticed the joke that flashed through Hugo's amber eyes, and Nicholas couldn't help but be excited: Hugo looked gentle and harmless on the surface, but if someone believed it, he would definitely be a fool.

Sure enough, Hugo continued to smile and said, "Mr. Ishiguro Kazuo is a great writer. The glory he created in the field of literature is indeed eye-catching. That experience and accumulation are a height that I will never reach. During my time in college, I have read "long days to end". The literary value is indeed admirable, but not everyone can understand the excellence of Mr. Ishiguro Kazuo's books. You must calm down and read slowly to appreciate the profound meaning of it. So I always like to read repeatedly, drink a cup of hot tea, bathe in the sun, and enjoy that beauty."
