Chapter 821: Behind the scenes

When Hugo appeared on the red carpet, the reporter was interviewing Kazuo Ishiguro. Nicholas McLen saw Hugo sharply. He had long been informed that Hugo will be attending the premiere of "Money Empire" today, so he has been He also kept his eyes open and waited for Hugo to appear.

Originally, Nicholas wanted to rush over and ask if Hugo really planned to leave Cannes tomorrow without attending the closing ceremony and awards ceremony. But before he took his steps, Nicholas noticed Kazuo Ishiguro who was one step away. As soon as he turned around, he stretched out his voice recorder and asked, "Mr. Ishiguro, what do you think of the'Pulp Fiction' that has become a hot topic for discussion in the past two days?"

Kazuo Ishiguro seemed a little surprised by this question, because today is the premiere of "Money Empire", it seems not so polite to mention another movie-obviously Kazuo Ishiguro does not understand the only goal of the reporters: In order to explode, reporters are willing to do anything. This is the core interest of entertainment reporters.

Due to an inner accident, Kazuo Ishiguro's expression suddenly became a little stiff, he coughed slightly, "This is a very good film, but personally, I don't often appreciate such a work, so I have no way to judge, I think maybe I should communicate with other people more."

Kazuo Ishiguro originally thought that he was so polite, so he dealt with it, but he didn't want Nicholas but didn't intend to let him go. He saw Hugo approaching here after his gaze, and then asked again, "So, what do you mean? In other words, you can’t read'Pulp Fiction' anymore?"

Reporters always have this ability to understand and read the answers of the other party in their own way, and Nicholas is no exception. Although Nicholas and Hugo get along very happily in the past two years, no one will forget that Nicholas and Hugo were tit-for-tat at the beginning, and this is also an important reason why Nicholas can become a top journalist: his keenness and interpretation are exceptionally outstanding.

Kazuo Ishiguro was stunned. He was surprised again. Obviously he was not a person who often dealt with reporters like Hugo. He was actually stunned directly on the spot, slightly open his mouth and did not answer, appearing a little gaffe. It was not until Nicholas repeated his question for the second time that Kazuo Ishiguro reacted.

"Uh...no, I won't say that." Ishiguro Kazuo tried to find an accurate vocabulary, but he was caught off guard by a reporter, but it was difficult to react in time. In the end, he didn't know what he said. What’s wrong, "In fact, from my personal aesthetic point of view, I don’t like the work of'Pulp Fiction'. This is just a pure gangster movie, full of violence and blood, except for some retro memories. , I don’t think this movie has any deep meaning, let alone any wonderful things in this movie. In fact, I think this is a very boring movie. After I watch it, it is difficult for me to remember this movie. What does the movie tell?"

Kazuo Ishiguro still maintained his previous rhythm, but his brain's reaction was a little slow. Sometimes people will have this situation: the words react before the brain, and after they finish speaking, they realize what they said and did under the impulse, and sometimes they can’t even react. What does your own words or actions mean? Kazuo Ishiguro was in this state at this time.

"But the professional film critics of the past two days considered this to be a very wonderful film, and they interpreted many details of the film." Nicholas also keenly sensed Ishiguro Kazuo's state, and a hint of sly flashed through his eyes. In fact, most people in the entertainment industry don’t know how to deal with the relationship with reporters. That’s why there will be professional public relations companies. Something like Hugo that can grow up on its own has also appeared in Hollywood. But not much. Therefore, Nicholas did not give Kazuo Ishiguro a chance to breathe, and then he continued to ask, "Or, as a writer, you don't know much about the expression of movies?"

"No, I don't think so." Ishiguro Kazuo had been led by Nicholas by his nose at this time, and he unknowingly said his truest thoughts, "The only impression I left with this movie is countless nonsense. There is endless talk and talk, and the movie does not have an accurate theme, just a lot of violent and meaningless splicing, so I don't think how good it is. This is just a boring work of film lovers' self-splicing."

After Ishiguro Kazuo finished speaking, his brain finally reacted and kept up with the speed of the speech, which made him feel a little embarrassed, but then he also convinced himself that everyone has the right to express their own opinions. What's more, this is a film festival, which originally allowed multiple viewpoints to exist, which calmed down Kazuo Ishiguro.

However, Kazuo Ishiguro originally wanted to say something like "This is just my personal opinion" to ease the atmosphere, but found that the eyes of the reporters in front of him were focused behind him, and many reporters still had them on their faces. With a kind of schadenfreude of watching a good show, Ishiguro Kazuo suddenly had an ominous premonition rising.

As soon as Ishiguro Kazuo turned his head, he saw Hugo’s gentle smile, "God!" This kind of wailing reverberated in Ishiguro Kazuo's mind. It is not a big deal to say bad things or criticize others behind his back. , The point is that the other party was on the scene and was arrested, which is too embarrassing. Ishiguro Kazuo felt that he wanted to find a hole to go in.

Hugo saw the triumphant smile on Nicholas’ face at a glance, which made him quite dumbfounded. Hearing others say bad things about his work in front of him, it was the first time Hugo faced this kind of thing, and it felt very strange. It is more of a funny feeling than anger.

In fact, it is like when those film critics criticize a certain work in the newspaper, it will make the actors and directors sad, even angry, and they want to find the film critics to settle the accounts in a fit of anger—even some people actually did this and just waved. Fists face each other; but this kind of face-to-face reprimand still embarrass both sides, and even the politeness of face seems to be unable to maintain.

Kazuo Ishiguro, this man Hugo is very strange, but he shouldn’t be, because he is the original author of the film adaptation of the novel "Farewell to You Qing Tian". He was born in Japan, but he went to England at the age of five. As the three heroes of British immigrant literature, his literary attainments are indeed admirable. The original book "Farewell to You Qingtian" "Long Days Will End" can be regarded as his pinnacle work.

It is precisely because of this that Kazuo Ishiguro was invited to become a member of the jury at this year's Cannes Film Festival. This is also the style that Cannes has always done. Not only film professionals, but also judges from all walks of life can become part of the jury. member. That's why Kazuo Ishiguro attended today's premiere of "Money Empire", so Nicholas couldn't shy away from asking his views on "Pulp Fiction" because he was a judge, and it was his job to review entries.

Although Kazuo Ishiguro and Hugo have never met, it is really difficult for Kazuo Ishiguro to have a good impression of Hugo. It was not because "Farewell You Tian" was defeated by "Schindler's List", it was all from the movie. There was no direct contact with his author; it was because of the unfair competition after the release of "Farewell You Qingtian", which not only lost the reputation of the film crew, but also humiliated the original author. Therefore, although Ishiguro Kazuo and Hugo have no hatred, it is difficult to say that he "likes" Hugo.

Now, Kazuo Ishiguro criticized "Pulp Fiction" and was hit by Hugo on the spot. This immediately made the reporters excited. Nicholas was obviously also looking forward to Hugo's reaction. In an instant, everyone's eyes turned on. Hugo.

Hugo originally didn't want to come over. He could completely leave it as if he didn't hear it, so as to avoid making Ishiguro Kazuo more embarrassed. After all, Ishiguro Kazuo is a judge, and he has the right to express his views on "Pulp Fiction", Hugo Then there is no right to force the other party to like the movie "Pulp Fiction".

But the reporters brushed their focused eyes, but Hugo couldn't ignore it. He could only smile, and walked two steps in the direction of Kazuo Ishiguro, stopped in front of the reporters, and then pretended to be angry. Speaking of, "It seems that I heard my husband say that'Pulp Fiction' is very boring. This is unforgivable. Even if you can say that'Pulp Fiction' is not good-looking, has no connotation, and is even bad, I don't think it is a A boring movie. It seems that not everyone can understand the black and humorous parts of it. It's a shame."

Hugo’s pretentious remarks seem to be joking on the surface, but Ishiguro Kazuo doesn’t know how to answer the conversation, because Hugo is ridiculing the black humor of his inability to understand the movie—this is a fact. He couldn't refute at all.

But reporters heard Hugo’s so innocent answer ~www.readwn.com~ but they all showed disappointed expressions. It seems that Hugo will not easily reveal flaws now. It is a cliché. Boring.

However, Nicholas did not give up easily. He noticed the jokes flashing in Hugo’s amber eyes. Nicholas couldn’t help but get excited: Hugo looks kind and harmless on the surface, but if anyone believes in this, it’s definitely It's a fool.

Sure enough, Hugo then smiled and said, "Mr. Ishiguro Kazuo is a great writer. His brilliance in the field of literature is indeed impressive. That experience and accumulation are mine. A height that can never be reached. During my university studies, I have also read "Long Days Will End". The literary value is indeed admirable, but the excellence of Mr. Ishiguro Kazuo's books is not something everyone can comprehend. Sink down and read slowly to appreciate the deep meaning, so I always like to read repeatedly, drinking a cup of hot tea, bathing in the sun, and enjoying the beauty. "

Hugo was clearly praising Kazuo Ishiguro, but Nicholas almost couldn't help it when looking at Hugo's brilliant smile, he wanted to laugh out loud. (To be renewed.
