Paul Newman, a legend in film history.

In the selection of great actors in major authoritative professional film magazines, he was undoubtedly among the top ten. This handsome, elegant and romantic actor has a legendary and great life. His wonderful acting skills have become the brightest scenery on the big screen. Although the ten Oscar nominations only brought him the only actress Little Golden Man, the Emmy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Cannes and Berlin have awarded his superb acting skills, which once again proves that awards are not the only criterion for proving the greatness of actors.

During Paul's long acting career, he left behind excellent works such as "cat.on.a.hot.tin.roof", "the.htler", "the wilderness", "cool.hand.ke", "the.verdict", and "the true colors of money". At the same time, he is also an excellent director, and a "rachel.rachel" won him the Oscar for Best Picture.

It can be said that Paul is a more senior and better actor and director than Clint Eastwood, not to mention that his unchanging couple's love for fifty years has become the most beautiful example of Hollywood's reality.

Not long ago, the Los Angeles Times called Hugo the "Successor of Paul Newman", but today Hugo had a direct contact with the deity.

When I saw Paul, I was attracted by his blue eyes at the first moment. Even if Hugo was also a man, he would attract the blue eyes. The eyes seemed to be filled with ripples, making people sink into it.

After Paul greeted Tim and Coen brothers, Ethan took the initiative to introduce, "This is Hugo Lancaster."

Paul smiled, "Of course I know, there are not many people who don't know about Hugo in the past few months." Paul's shining eyes made Hugo laugh. Paul noticed the deep meaning of Hugo's smile and asked, "Why, can you be my fan too?"

A few people clapped their hands and laughed. In fact, in the entertainment industry, the most polite and scene-like sentence is "I am your fan", but in fact, you may have never seen the other party's works at all, and you just use such words to pursue the other party. In this case, many real fans will be considered to be insincere when they come into contact with their idols, which has to be said to be a helpless reality.

Paul has been in the film industry for more than 40 years and is highly respected. He must have heard a lot of such polite words.

Hugo was also amused by Paul. Strictly speaking, he was not a Paul fan. Because he traveled through his previous age, he missed the golden age of Paul's acting career. "No, I like Malone Brando more than you." Hugo's honesty made Paul laugh immediately.

Paul is already sixty-nine years old this year. The years have clearly left a deep mark on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. His youth is no longer there and his face is old. But even so, his elegant temperament is still very touching. The cheerful smile still exudes charm. This wealth from time is a connotation that people like Hugo cannot have if they are under thirty years old.

"When I saw you just now, I actually remembered your words, 'Here is Paul Newman lying here, and he died of brown eyes'." Hugo continued, and this time Paul even raised his hands and applauded Hugo, and the other people standing next to him laughed.

In Paul's career as an actor, no matter he plays as a ruffian, a robber, or a gang leader, the audience will involuntarily fall in love with this bad guy. Whenever he turns his face and looks straight into the camera, everyone will fall into his sea-blue eyes, and his heart is filled with gentle pity.

In fact, this is a shackle for actors, and this is also the reason why handsome guys are always unpleasant in the eyes of Oscars. The judges of the college are always particularly harsh about handsome guys. Of course, the prejudice of the best supporting actor department will be slightly restrained, but even so, when Hugo won the Best Supporting Actor Xiao Jinren two months ago, many people were surprised by the breakthrough of the academy, rather than the upset of Hugo.

Therefore, Paul once joked about his blue eyes in this way. This is a coveted label for others, but for Paul, it is a confinement that has always existed in his acting career.

After Paul smiled happily, his eyes looked at Hugo with a little more kindness. "I read the newspaper not long ago and said that you look like Malone's successor. I think the news is right."

Joel Cohen, who was standing aside, immediately responded, "You're reading the New York Times, right? So do I."

Ethan continued with a smile, "You should probably look at the 'Los Angeles Times', which says Hugo is your successor."

Hugo stood in front of him and said nothing. He just kept breathing heavily and wiped sweat from time to time on his forehead that did not exist. This childish joke immediately made everyone chuck again.

Paul understood what Hugo meant. He patted Hugo on the shoulder with a smile, "The media always likes to say this. They used to say that I was 'Marron-Brando No. 2', which I think is very strange."

In fact, Paul is also an actor with a personality, but because of his appearance, people always think that he is "Little Red Riding Hood". He also has a handsome face and a rebellious image. Malone Brando and James Dean stand on the screen with a "spoken" and "spoken" surreal image, but Paul has never received such recognition. Compared to actors, he is a double-edged sword.

For an actor, he should be an independent individual, not "so-so-so-second". Only when an actor has a true independent personality can he become a real actor. Before that, "so-so-second" was always just an imitation and could never surpass it.

Paul naturally understood Hugo's feeling, especially when Hugo was called "Paul Newman's successor", but appeared in front of Paul, as if the "I" and "II" were facing each other. This feeling was actually a bit embarrassing. However, it was still resolved by Hugo using relaxed body language.

Paul was like his image, always like a spring breeze. A simple sentence resolved Hugo's embarrassment. Hugo also smiled, "I think it's okay. Whether it's like you or Malone, he has always been handsome. I look forward to not being distorted after I was forty."

Hugo did not mention acting or something, but instead started with her appearance. A little bit of humor made Paul laugh again, then turned to look at Joel, "Are I supposed to be happy? A young man who can be my grandson praised me for being a handsome guy."

Joel shrugged, and Ethan shook his head and said, "You shouldn't ask us, we have never been involved in words like 'handsome'. Anyone... I mean, we will be very happy if anyone says we are handsome." Sure enough, it's very Coen brothers' style, and a sentence made everyone laugh again.

In the past two years, Hugo has seen many big-name actors, especially at the Oscars, and has known many top-notch existences. But to this day, only Paul and Catherine Hepburn have left the deepest impression on him. It is not because of how brilliant their careers are, but because of their demeanor in dealing with people and the elegance that has settled after the time has washed away Hugo a little envious and admired him.

He also wants to be such an actor.

When I was seventy, I still stood on the stage to perform. I could tell jokes funny, or face doubts and criticisms calmly. Compared to other people's eyes and ideas, I enjoy the performance more. I just simply, simply, purely, enjoy the performance.

Whether it is Paul Newman or Katherine Hepburn, the reason why they can be called great is that their personal charm is also an indispensable part of it. This is a gift of time and a gift of growth.

Although Hugo is just a guest and not a member of the "Money Empire", he still sat next door with Paul and watched the movie together.

The "Money Empire" is obviously not the most famous work of the Coen brothers. Strictly speaking, the quality of this work is indeed not as good as other works of the Brothers. The script is relatively weaker, and this absurd comedy also has a strong 1990s style.

But the reason why the Coen brothers are outstanding is because of their absurd, exaggerated, humorous and unique styles, and because of their novel intentions and eclectic expression techniques. Therefore, even though the "Money Empire" is not very famous, it is still a work of above-level standards and the viewing process is very pleasant, and the whole movie always has a magical tone.

After watching the movie, Hugo actually left a deeper impression on Tim Robbins.

Hugo has always known that Tim is an underrated actor. Whether it is the "Shawshank Redemption" that was ignored by Oscars or the "Mystic River (Mystic Ver)" that won him the best supporting actor, the "Intersection of Life" and "Back to the Scenes Player", these masterpieces actually underestimate the delicateness and thickness of his performance.

This idea became even stronger after watching "The Empire of Money". Hugo couldn't help but make this guess for the second time: if it weren't for Tom Hanks, or Tom's acting burst a little earlier and later, would Tim's position in the long history of the movie have changed?

But, this is just a hypothesis.

After watching the "Money Empire", Hugo had dinner with the Coen brothers and Paul that night, which was unexpected. Then the next day, Hugo took a bus to leave Cannes after lunch, ending his first trip to Cannes.
