Chapter 759 759 Golden Man's Curse

Hugo slept in a rare sleep, and after he was dazedly woken up by urine, he realized that it was already half past ten in the morning. After the Oscars ceremony last night, Hugo and Leonor again I waited for a large number of friends to attend the party, and didn’t go home until four o’clock in the morning. This time I didn’t drink too much. Hugo can still remember that Joseph sent him home. The symptoms of headache in the morning are not too bad. serious.

Hugo staggered to the hall, lay down on the sofa, and then closed his eyes again, still in a state of lack of sleep, and a coaxing voice immediately sounded in his ears, "Oh, oh, this is not our little gold. The winner!" Alex's excited voice was the most conspicuous, and it was instantly recognizable.

Then there were a lot of voices that followed the shouting. At first glance, he knew that there were at least five people. Hugo could not help frowning, but before Hugo could refute, Ence came from downstairs. Te Na's violent voice said, "Shut up! Are you all crazy? It's only morning now, if you want to drink, get out on the street!"

In an instant, the noise in the hall stopped, everyone died, and the corner of Hugo's mouth was outlined, "That's right, it's so right!"

"Che, don't let us make noise during the day, and don't let us make noise at night, what's the point." An indignant voice came over, and it was Pedro.

Hugo didn't turn his head back, he just picked up a pillow and smashed it over, and he didn't know where it hit, causing a lot of laughter, it seemed to be smashed crookedly, "Pepe, why do you keep running here when you have nothing to do! Here It's my home!"

"I'm not here for you!" Pedro immediately retorted dissatisfiedly, "It's not because Samora's craftsmanship is so good that it makes people unforgettable." After speaking, Pedro also moved towards the kitchen. shouted, "Samora, I love you!"

"Sorry, I don't love you." Samora's response made everyone burst into laughter again.

Almost early in the morning, the other members of the Glory to the Dead band gathered. Although they had nothing to do with the movie, they all came over to send their blessings to Hugo at the first time. They were enjoying themselves in the hall without any intention of celebrating Oscar.

"Here." A voice rang directly in Hugo's ear, which startled Hugo. Everyone was in the hall just now, and suddenly someone approached. Hugo didn't notice it at all. His eyes opened, and then he saw Charlize's familiar blonde hair.

Seeing Hugo's frightened expression, Charlize couldn't help laughing, those eyes narrowed into a slit, and slowly gloating on the cheek was written, which made Hugo very depressed, rolled his eyes, " What's wrong?"

"Here!" Charlize pushed forward the cup in his hand, "Didn't you drink yesterday, honey water."

Only then did Hugo react. He raised his hand and took the cup. His fingers inadvertently slid over Charlize's tender fingertips. The little bit of coldness was conveyed through his fingertips. Hugo could even feel his fingertips. It was tender and smooth, and a current flashed in an instant, and then Hugo's fingers touched the warmth of the glass.

Raising his head, Hugo saw Charlize's disapproval. His expression was really normal. It seems that only Hugo himself was different from the touch just now. For Charlize, a little bit of physical contact It's really normal, living under the same roof, such moments are simply countless.

Hugo lowered his eyes and hid all his thoughts. He knew that was probably the case. They were friends, good friends. A friend can go a step further and become a lover, but a lover takes a step back and is nothing, so when you choose to go from a friend to a lover, you are turning eternity into an instant. Continue walking with a smile.

In fact, Hugo should have realized this a long time ago. Moments after moments, missed time after time, have proved this point, but the moment just now made Hugo more certain.

Hugo picked up the honey water, let the dense water vapor block his sight, put it on his lips and took a sip, the warm warmth spread slowly, the smile on his lips was outlined again, and then all the emotions So calmed down.

"So, Hugo, do you think it's any different?" Charlize really didn't have any idea. She still looked at Hugo freely, with a smile on her face, and slapped Hugo on the shoulder like a boy, smiling. Speaking of.

Hugo raised his head and raised his eyebrows, "What?"

"What's the difference after taking the golden statuette?" Charlize explained, with curiosity written all over his eyes.

Hugo tilted his head and thought about it. In fact, when he won the award just yesterday, the ecstasy was really indescribable in any words. Otherwise, Hugo would not have been standing on the stage and burst into tears, even afterward. The party is still in a trance state, I just feel that all this is so incredible.

Hugo even recalled that when he traveled to the backstage of the Golden Raspberry Awards, it was at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, where the first Oscars were held. At the time, Hugo was very regretful that he did not have enough time to take a good look at the hotel; But now, Hugo has personally stood on the Oscar stage and received his own golden statuette. All this is so dreamy.

But now, when the moon sets and the sun rises, everything seems to return to calm, even if Alex coaxes, even if Charlize mentions it, he doesn't feel anything special. Hugo suddenly realizes that this is normal.

Although the Oscar is the highest honor in the film industry, and many people spend their entire lives fighting for their own golden statuette, this is just an honor, not the whole of life, even the greatest actor, acting is only A part of his life, and Oscar is a very small part of that part of life, and beyond that, he has a lot of life. Just as people can't live for money alone, or they will lose themselves; in the same way, people can't live for the sake of fame -- for the small gold people, because that's not what life is all about.

If you get an award, it doesn't mean you get the whole world; if you lose an award, you don't lose everything either.

Perhaps, this feeling will only be felt after winning the award. This is the excess of the owner, "No, it's no different, I'm still the same me." Hugo pursed his lips, took another sip of honey water, and smiled. said.

Hugo's answer surprised Charlize, and everyone else in the hall came one after another. Alex sprinted all the way to the edge of the sofa, and he lay down directly, "No way, This is the highest honor in the film industry, don't you feel it at all?"

"Yes, yes, not all of them. After winning the Oscar, my worth doubled, and my self-feeling suddenly became better." Pedro also followed suit.

Fu Jin's voice was behind everything, "Just say why Hugo doesn't play big." This sentence made everyone laugh again.

This is indeed the case. Generally speaking, after winning the Oscar statuette, this is the sign of the peak of the actor's career, but in fact, the winner of the acting award often falls into the curse of the Oscar, especially the actress, some people even Said "winners lose three years".

Many actresses have their careers plummeted after becoming the best actress. Liza. Minnelli in "Cabaret" in 1972, Louise. Fletcher in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in 1975, "Bountiful Tour" in 1985 ( The. Trip. To. Bountiful," Geraldine. Page, who all but disappeared after winning the award.

As for actresses who fell into career crisis after winning the movie, there are many actresses, Cher in 1987's "Moonstruck", "Blue. Sky" in 1994 Jessica. Lange, Susan. Sarandon in Dead. Man. Walking, 1995, Shakespeare in Love, 1998. Gwyneth. Paltrow in "Love" and Halle Berry in "Monster's. Ball" in 2001.

In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand. After winning the award, the actor's worth has risen, and the salary offered has tripled. But Oscar only recognizes the performance achievements of actors in a certain movie. Although the name of "Xinke Movie Queen" can be used to attract attention when promoting a new movie, this does not mean box office appeal.

Many actors have more room to play after winning awards, but they have not improved their brilliance. If they fail at the box office, it is easy to fall into the gap between their apparent status and their actual status. They can only gradually disappear from the audience's sight. .

Generally speaking, the years before winning the award are the golden period, because at that time the pursuit of the quality of the work is the top priority, and the salary is reasonable, so there are more opportunities; after winning the award, either to make money, it began to appear frequently in popcorn movies. , or sinking in the quagmire of art films, unable to seek a breakthrough.

In the final analysis, the mentality adjustment and self-positioning after winning the award, if you are fascinated by the brilliance of the golden statuette, and put your position incorrectly, in Hollywood where interests come first, the benefits of the golden statuette will easily be lost. control, eventually leading to a disaster.

This is what Pedro, Alex, Charlize and others are curious about. Although Hugo is only 27 years old this year, he won the best supporting actor statuette. This achievement is indeed amazing. , But after all, Hugo has crossed once, and after many strong winds and waves, he has seen countless ups and downs, and he has more calm; the most important thing is that Hugo only got the supporting actor, not the leading actor. It shows that Hugo still has room for continuous improvement, so his mentality will not have a huge change.

Of course, whether there will be a change in the mentality or not depends on the subsequent development. No one can explain the matter of the human heart. Many times, even oneself cannot.
