In fact, Hugo had only had a conversation with Ishiguro Kazuo for less than two minutes. Hugo did not pursue it because he knew that today was the premiere of "The Empire of Money", which was not his stage, and it was not a good thing to steal the protagonist's style.

So after the topic was finished, Hugo shook hands with Ishiguro Kazuo politely, and then calmly continued to walk, leaving Ishiguro Kazuo standing there with his face no longer able to keep it as it was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

During the conversation just now, Hugo always had the upper hand. Ishiguro Kazuo, who lacked the means to deal with reporters, could only suffer a loss. And the most hateful thing is that Hugo still showed a big and calm etiquette when he left. In contrast, Ishiguro Kazuo, who first said bad things behind his back and then spoke bad things, was completely embarrassing.

Ishiguro Kazuo was naturally completely unexpected, but it was too late for him to save something now. This feeling of frustration made Ishiguro Kazuo very depressed. If it weren't for the red carpet that was highly anticipated, and if the protagonist today was not a "vulgar novel" but an innocent "money empire", Ishiguro Kazuo would have thought of turning around and leaving.

So, looking at the reporter in front of him with anticipation, Ishiguro Kazuo was so angry that he couldn't change his anger and was extremely entangled.

Nicholas ignored Ishiguro's condition. It was clearly the battle he had taken on, but he just gave up his burden and followed Hugo all the way forward. After walking about a dozen steps, Nicholas stopped Hugo again. Hugo looked at Nicholas with a smile, "Didn't your interview share be used up today?"

Faced with Hugo's sarcasm, Nicholas adapted much more than Ishiguro Kazuo. He didn't even blink and answered directly, "Then use tomorrow's first." The answer was very easy, "I said, aren't you worried that he will hate you behind your back? You know, he is a judge."

At this time, several reporters were standing next to him, but Nicholas had no scruples at all and said loudly.

Hugo was quite amused and crying, "You didn't cause it, so why didn't you take this into consideration?"

Nicholas curled his lips, "If you ask a reporter to consider it for you, isn't it equivalent to selling yourself?" But he was not ashamed at all and admitted it directly, which made Hugo very helpless.

Ishiguro Kazuo is one of the members of the jury, and the entire jury is only ten, so the impact is very huge. To put it seriously, Hugo's "provocation" today is likely to ruin the prospect of winning the "Pulp Novel" at the Cannes Film Festival.

However, Hugo knew very clearly that it could be heard from Ishiguro Kazuo's initial answer. He had no good feelings for "vulgar novels" or even disdain, so whether Hugo stimulated Ishiguro Kazuo had no big impact. Even if Hugo bowed his head to accompany him, Ishiguro Kazuo still would not choose "vulgar novels". It would be better to fight back head-on.

Besides, Hugo knew that he and Quentin were not the kind of people who were willing to compromise in order to win the award. Hugo and Quentin were able to have a happy conversation and finally reached a cooperation because they were very angry at the experience of "the past of the United States", which gave the two people a common topic. Therefore, when encountering people who despise "pulp novels", Hugo would definitely argue, even if the other party was a judge at the Cannes Film Festival.

Nicholas was very familiar with Hugo, so he didn't hesitate any more and asked directly, "Are you planning to leave Cannes tomorrow?"

"The source of information is very well-informed." Hugo raised his eyebrows, Nicholas smiled but said nothing. In fact, he agreed with Hugo's statement. Hugo pointed his chin, "Yes, I will take off from Nice tomorrow night."

This is usually the case when attending the film festival. After attending the premiere and cooperating with the promotion, many people will leave the city early. After all, the whole city is crazy about the film festival, and their publicity work has been completed, so there is naturally no need to stay.

"But, aren't you going to attend the award ceremony? Don't you expect 'Pulp Novel' to win the award?" Although Nicholas didn't continue to say more, his subtext was actually to remind Hugo that because of the "Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy" and the two movies "Margo Queen" are very popular, so the media generally believes that it is difficult for "Pulp Novel" to compete for the Palme d'Or, which leads to Hugo having great opportunities in the competition for actors.

Hugo did not answer, but laughed at Nicholas, then waved his hand, "Everyone has the right to dream." After saying that, he took a step and left. The subtext was that Nicholas was talking about something he was foolish, and he didn't care at all.

Nicholas stayed there, but curled his lips with dissatisfaction, but he didn't catch up after all.

In Nicholas's view, 1994 was definitely a year of strong rise for Hugo. Not long ago, the outstanding performance on "Schindler's List" won Hugo's recognition for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. In the first half of the year, the performance of glory in the music market was particularly prominent. Now "Pulp Novels" are in the limelight at the Cannes Film Festival.

Although the call for "Pulp Novel" to win the Palme d'Or, the possibility of Hugo winning the Best Actor is rising. If Hugo can win the Best Actor, it means that Hugo has been recognized by two heavyweight acting awards in just two months, and such momentum cannot be ignored.

Especially when everyone was not optimistic about "pulp novels", if Hugo could win the Best Actor Award, it would be wonderful. Compared to the Palme d'Or, Nicholas was more looking forward to the best actor being able to fall into Hugo. At that time, it would be a great pleasure to see the faces of the media yelling that Hugo made a "stupid choice".

At this time, Nicholas was already looking forward to the final product of the "speed of life and death" that was not favored by the optimism, and what kind of sensation will be caused when the "pulp novel" returns to North America. In this case, Nicholas will inevitably have more expectations, even more than Hugo himself.

Hugo didn't know what Nicholas was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously. He shouldn't be too greedy in life.

After leaving the red carpet, Hugo soon saw two directors of the "Money Empire", Joel Coen and Ethan Coen. The famous Coen brothers are all legendary in the world's independent film industry, from "Blood Maze" to "Barton Fink", from "Fargo" to "No.country.for.old.men", from "burn.after.reading" to "the earth's thunder" and the two brothers have been in the film industry for 30 years. They can almost be said to have failed, which is amazing.

Hugo originally booked his air ticket to leave Cannes, but after learning that "Money Empire" was released today, he couldn't wait to postpone the air ticket for one day just to be able to chat with the Coen brothers in person and then sit in the cinema to watch "Money Empire". After all, this kind of opportunity is not something that can be found often.

Now when Hugo sees those legendary characters, his mood has changed. If it used to be more like the feeling of fans seeing their idols, and they were so excited that they couldn't speak; then now it's more like meeting a confidant, or meeting an authoritative person in his peers, unable to wait to talk, and want to brainstorm and spark sparks.

In fact, Hugo has never seen the "Money Empire" because there are too many famous works by the Coen brothers. At most, he can only say that he has seen some of them. However, the "Money Empire" still maintains the exaggerated and absurd and black humor in the shooting techniques of the brothers. "Pulp novels" are also the best among black humor, which obviously makes Hugo and the Coen brothers communicate with each other with many common topics.

Then Hugo saw Tim Robbins, the male lead of the "Money Empire". The meeting between the two was full of humility and politeness at the beginning, and it was very lively. This was because Tim "snatched away" the opportunity to star in "Shawshank's Redemption".

In fact, Hugo knew that this was just a miss, and there was no such thing as "snatching it away" at all; but Tim is a humble and low-key person. He has been in Hollywood for more than 30 years, and there is almost no negative news. He is absolutely a good man, so he is inevitably a little guilty towards Hugo.

In this case, Tim kept being modest and expressed his apology to Hugo, while praising the excellence of "pulp novels" there; and Hugo had to be modest, saying that he liked Tim's previous "intersection of life" and "the player behind the scenes".

The scene of the two of them being humble and polite to each other made Ethan Cohen, who was straightforward, couldn't stand it anymore, and he interrupted the conversation, "Isn't it just a movie? What's the point of being polite to be there? Next time there is a suitable opportunity to appear, Tim will introduce it to Hugo, and it's all." After that, he waved impatiently.

Ethan's words made Hugo laugh directly, while Tim smiled shyly, and Hugo stopped refusing and simply said, "If it were your director's work, I would like to accept this proposal." He directly aimed the gun at the Coen brothers, which made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"It seems that you have already started chatting before I appeared, and the atmosphere is so pleasant, which makes me a little envious." A calm and magnetic voice sounded with a faint smile. Even if you haven't seen someone and only hear him, you can feel the elegance and casualness of this man.
