Chapter 358 358 Low-Key Premiere
Although in the eyes of others this is Hugo's fourth time playing in the summer season, it is a completely new experience for Hugo. Recalling the grand occasion of the premiere of the 21st century summer movies makes people excited. The summer war at that time was the most popular and lively scene in the film market throughout the year. There were many good movies, collisions and climaxes. As an audience An absolute treat.
But the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle" was not the spectacle that Hugo expected at all. Due to the neglect of Columbia Pictures, the premiere was not selected at all. For such a large venue as the National Theatre, it just chose a relatively small venue such as the Fox Theatre. The premiere of "Naughty Adam" a few streets away was full of people.
"Naughty Adam" was adapted from the comics in the 1950s and later TV series, but in fact it is a follow-up work after "Home Alone" became popular all over the world. This comedy film with a small investment scale is obviously more than the chick. Movies are more suitable for the summer season. Comedy movies can always find a place in the summer season, not to mention the invincible children's comedy movies in the past two years, which also makes Warner Bros. have great expectations for the movie. The simultaneous release of 100 theaters is comparable to a big production like "Jurassic Park", while "Sleepless in Seattle" is more than one grade behind with only 1,600 theaters.
At the premiere, Hugo was accompanied by Alex. The Glory to Death partners still didn't come after all. The main reason is that the band is now in the run-in period. Overexposure is not a good thing. They need to keep a low profile. Hone yourself and have enough strength to not lose yourself in the limelight; Charlize also did not attend the premiere for the same reason under Carl's suggestion. But Alex is different.
With a kind suggestion from Hugo, Alex finally auditioned for "Happy Family" and unexpectedly won the role, eventually becoming one of the regulars of the comedy. Now, the pilot episode of "Happy Family" has been filmed and is waiting for the instructions of NBC executives. Under such circumstances, after Alex gets more exposure opportunities, "Happy Family" can get more opportunities. , while also giving Alex more chips in his fixed role.
So, Alex accompanied Hugo on the red carpet of the premiere, while Karl and Joseph were not far behind.
Looking at the lively scene of about 200 people at the scene, although there is a gap compared to "Naughty Adam", Alex is still quite surprised, he suppressed his inner excitement and said to Hugo, "It seems that you It's still very popular."
Facing the scene with a slight gap on the scene, Hugo was not too disappointed. Now his mentality has gradually been corrected, he will not blindly indulge in the hot cheers, nor will he be directly involved with "Naughty Adam". The strong contrast is frustrating. Popularity is such an ethereal thing. I am lucky to get it, and I lose my life. Too heavy gains and losses will only make myself suffer.
Therefore, Hugo always had a happy smile on his face, and replied with a smile, "That is, no matter what, I am also a person who has a box office of over 100 million works, and there is still some cheers for this." As if It was like an answer to Hugo's words. Along with Hugo's wave, there was a heart-piercing scream at the scene.
"Hugo, ah ah ah... Hugo! I love you! Hugo!" The sharp shout blew into Hugo's ears along with the light wind in the night, making Hugo's face bloom with a happy expression The smile was followed by uncontrollable screams, but Hugo's eyes stopped in the crowd, and he saw an acquaintance.
Hugo's footsteps walked towards the fans on the right. At this time, the onlookers were blocked by the iron railings, but because there was no image here. The high platform was set up at the entrance of the National Theater, so the distance between Hugo and the fans could be directly offset, and Hugo walked over without any obstruction.
Today Melalyn Dixon came to the Fox Theater early. In order to welcome the premiere of Hugo's new movie, she has made plans for a long time. She must pull all her friends to cheer for Hugo, especially "Seattle Night" In the movie "Sleepless", she met Hugo at the top of the Empire State Building, and she couldn't find any reason to refuse this movie!
But after arriving at the scene early in the afternoon, Melalyn was disappointed. Except for her and her friend Kayla Cole, there was no one at the scene. This was so disappointing that even Columbia Pictures was preparing for the first The film crew has only just begun to prepare!
You know, Melalyn just came to the scene two hours earlier! Then, for a truly grand premiere, loyal fans began to prepare on the spot five or six hours in advance. Obviously, Hugo's fans were still unorganized and undisciplined. This made Melalyn really disappointed.
Melalyn and Kayla waited at the scene for about a quarter of an hour before they saw someone coming to the scene with a long banner, which reassured them a lot, although fans who are now willing to really support Hugo do not Not much, but as long as there are loyal fans, then anything is possible.
After the premiere, the atmosphere at the scene was not too lively. Even if Meg Ryan and her husband Dennis Quaid appeared together, the cheers at the scene were still not strong enough, which made Melalyn always hold back. With a breath. When Hugo appeared, all the enthusiasm in Melalyn's heart erupted like a volcano. She tried her best to scream for Hugo, not because Hugo could see her, but only for the atmosphere of the premiere. It can be hotter and grander.
Melalyn only felt that her throat was burning and hurting, and if it wasn't for Kayla who was beside her screaming and shouting with her, Melalyn felt that she might not be able to hold on at any time, "Hugo! I love you! Hugo! "Melelyn seemed to use the last ounce of strength in her body to shout, and after shouting, the tearing scream made her feel the dry and itchy pulling sensation in her throat.
But at this moment, Hugo walked towards her, those amber eyes sparkling in the night, which made Melalyn's body suddenly burst into endless energy, reacting in her mind. Before, the screams in her mouth started to get out of control. She couldn't control the burst of enthusiasm that was constantly emerging in her body. Her eyes couldn't be moved from Hugo's body at all, but the machine screamed excitedly, This is the only way she can vent her excitement, otherwise she suspects that she will want to explode like a bomb.
At this time, not only Melalyn, but also Kayla, who was standing next to him, lost control, and the screams began to deform, with an incredible expression on his face, and the surrounding fans showed madness, and the screams were heard in the night. A dazzling light slid through the heat wave, and all the fans standing beside them tried their best to reach out and try to touch Hugo, but fortunately, there were not too many people at the scene, and the order was barely maintained.
Hugo's footsteps finally stopped in front of Merleline. First, he gave Merleline a hug with enthusiasm. The scorching body temperature made Merleline's whole body become hot, and her brain even couldn't do anything because of overheating. Thinking normally, Melelin saw the gentle smile on Hugo's face, like the rising sun in California, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, "Hey, I remember you, your name is..."
Hugo's handsome brows were slightly wrinkled, as if trying to recall. Melelin only felt that her heartbeat stopped at this moment, her screams were also trapped in her throat, and her muscles were all stiff. Can't move at all. One breath, two breaths... But it was as if the world had stopped for two centuries, and then Hugo's eyebrows stretched out like this, brushing away the clouds that covered the sky, "Your name is Melalyn, right?"
Hurala, Melelin only felt that all the cells in her body were blooming, and the whole world was singing in unison. The fireworks that bloomed indiscriminately in the sky turned the night into day, and Hugo's bright star-like light made the world beautiful. Make Shakespeare's language pale. He said he would remember his name, he said it, and he did.
"Melelyn, thank you for supporting me, this has given me a lot of confidence." Hugo blinked playfully, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed wantonly.
In an instant, Melelin's eyes were blurred by tears. At this moment, time was engraved into amber and stopped forever.
Hugo turned back and whispered something to Alex, who also had a smile on his face. Alex immediately showed a happy expression, and then said loudly to Melalyn, "Melle Lynn, it's nice to meet you." Alex also stretched out his right hand and shook hands warmly with Melelyn.
Melelin only felt that the world had slowed down, and the surrounding time and space had turned into slow motion, and the bubbles of joy filled the whole world at the speed of light, and her heart was full of joy. No less, overflowing everywhere.
Then, Merelyn watched Hugo say "enjoy tonight" to herself again, then turned and left with Alex. However, Hugo's footsteps did not go too far, because he saw the most striking banner in the audience, which read, "Hugo, my king!"
Hugo took a step and walked up, found the owner of the banner accurately, and gave her a big hug. Melalyn's eyes blurred by tears of happiness saw the figure who was as excited as herself. She remembered that the girl was the third person to arrive at the scene today, second only to her and Kayla. The girl seemed to be called Mei. Redis Morris.
