Chapter 1432: Artistic ethics

In the face of the tide of attacks from reporters, Hugo has some masterful demeanor, and he can dissolve the attack invisible with a wave of hands. At the same time, it also stirs up the atmosphere of the scene. This makes the interview session impossible to end for a long time-whether it is a reporter or a reporter. Movie fans were unwilling to let Hugo go. The staff on the scene reminded Warner of the time three times before and after. In the end, the scheduled five-minute interview lasted for nearly twenty-five minutes.

After Hugo and Werner bid farewell, there was no time to say hello to the others. He ran all the way towards the screening hall. The four bodyguards waiting in the background, Joseph, Samora and others saw Hugo’s figure and shouted. The smoke ran along, and finally watched Hugo enter the screening hall. Joseph and his party stopped then-they would go to the special lounge and wait until the film screening was over.

Hugo walked into the screening hall and saw that the entire hall was already full, and then Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and others stood in the open space in the front, gathering in twos and threes to chat. Seeing Hugo coming in, the applause continued to ring, and then it became a piece, shaking the entire projection hall like thunder. This vigorous applause made Hugo truly feel the enthusiasm and madness of the film festival audience. .

"Man, you're late, I almost thought you wouldn't show up today." Tim greeted him first and gave Hugo a big hug. Before Hugo could answer, Tim took the rain. Guo Chao walked forward, "Come on, come on, I'll introduce a friend to you."

The first thing that entered Hugo’s sight was a cane, and then he looked up along the cane, and saw an old gentleman in a well-mannered white shirt and black suit, even the most formal three-piece suit. The already curved back can't conceal the uprightness and perseverance in his bones.

Because the light in the movie theater is not bright, the wrinkles of the old man’s face refract a lot of shadows, making it difficult to see his facial features, and he can only vaguely see about half of it. Hugo was searching for information in his mind, an old man who could be "friend" by Tim, and was invited to the Berlin Film Festival. The answer is ready...

"Sir, let me introduce it to you. This is Hugo Lancaster, who worked very happily with me during this shooting." Tim introduced him with a smile, and then turned to look at Hugo. , "Hugo, this is Mr. Kazan."

The old man in front of him moved very slowly, slowly raising his chin, and looking carefully at Hugo’s eyes, as if he wanted to find out something in Hugo’s eyes. Those turbid eyes were hidden in the long eyebrows. Under the messy eyelashes, Hugo couldn't see clearly. He only felt that he was being scrutinized, but he couldn't figure out the other party clearly. The old man's gaze slowly fell, and he looked at Hugo carefully, his gaze was not obscured, it was like a laser beam, trying to study Hugo inside and out.

This line of sight made Hugo feel very uncomfortable, not only was he awkward all over, but also as if he was completely stripped and stood in place to be examined. It's like being accepted in "Schindler's List". Judging Jews.

"Sir, it's nice to meet you." Hugo interrupted the old man's eyes, walked a short step forward, and proactively stretched out his right hand, looking at the old man with a smile on his face.

This action obviously exceeded the old man’s expectation. He had to raise his head and look at Hugo’s eyes again. He had no intention of raising his right hand at all, but just so hung Hugo's right hand in the air.

But Hugo didn't mind. He just kept smiling, keeping his movements, motionless, his smile calmly and freely, without embarrassment or stiffness, just with a kind smile, without any fear, looking directly at the old man. Eyes, boldly accept the baptism of gaze.

For a time, the atmosphere was so rigid in place.

When it comes to the greatest director in film history, almost everyone will have a different answer, from John Ford (.), William Wheeler (.wyler), Billy Wilder (.), which are slightly older in history, to Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Clint Eastwood, and modern Paul Thomas Anderson and Christopher Nolan, who are closer to modern times, still have a lifetime. Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick, who were awarded awards but created miracles in genre films...

Among the many directors’ lists, Ilya Kazan is also a name that can’t be ignored. As a director, he has cultivated famous actors such as Marlon Brando, James Dean, Warren Beatty and others. The titles of "Desire. Streetcar on Wang", "East of Eden", and "Story of the Wharf" go down in history.

Ilya’s greatest contribution to the film process lies in his extreme admiration of methodist acting. Not only did he introduce this method of performance from the former Soviet Union to the United States, but also to carry it forward. Until 2014, methodist was the most important in the world. The acting faction.

But behind the countless glories of Ilya, there is a shameless black history for everyone.

He was born in Turkey with Greek identity as one of his important labels. He briefly joined the Communist Party in the 1930s. Produce. The party later chose to secede because of its dissatisfaction with Stalinism. In the 1950s, Ilya became an important coordinate of the Hollywood political "blacklist" incident in the United States. During the McCarthyism era, he adopted a **** attitude, testified for members and exposed the behavior of others in the House of Representatives investigation of non-American behavior. The results included Liberal directors and screenwriters such as Charlie Chaplin and Orson Wells were forced to flee overseas, and his career has entered its peak after that.

Even in the late 1960s, Ilya withdrew from the show business circle, and his reputation of selling friends and seeking glory was still with him. He always refused to apologize for the blacklist incident, and he did not think he was guilty. This behavior made him more controversial in Hollywood. In 1999, the Oscar awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award to Ilia. He won the Oscar nominations for best director five times and won two statuettes. The award ceremony that night, Some people cheered and some applauded.

This year, the 46th Berlin Film Festival will award Ilya Kazan and Jack Lemmon with lifetime achievement awards, so Ilya, who is already eighty-five years old, appeared in Berlin.

For art, many people actually insist that art belongs to art, and character belongs to character, just like Roman Polanski.

This famous French director, he was accused of strong in 1977. A thirteen-year-old girl was violently arrested in California. Roman spent forty-two days to defend. The judge finally hesitated. But just before further legal proceedings began, he fled the United States and settled in Paris. Although he avoided prison, he never set foot on American territory in his life.

In 2002, Roman's "Pianist" won the Oscar for Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Of course, Roman did not go to the United States to receive the award.

This is the idea of ​​the art world, as if people cannot pursue the character of artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet-because often artists are related to alcohol and drugs. Product, abuse. Words such as Jiao can be linked together. A work is a work. Even if the character does not meet the moral standards, the artistry of the work cannot be denied.

The same is true for Ilya. Even though he bears the reputation of selling friends for glory, the Berlin Film Festival and Oscars still awarded Ilya the lifetime achievement award based on his great artistic contribution.

Hugo knows this, and he understands it, but it is difficult for him to accept it. Leaving aside Roman’s matter has violated the law, even if it is simply the moral issue of Ilya, for betrayal, especially for betrayal of trust, Yu Guo is difficult to express understanding, this is his bottom line.

Of course, many things are not that simple. Ilya had a historical background when he experienced the "blacklist" incident. Hugo knew nothing about the environment, mentality, and situation at the time. He could not just subjectively. If judged, Ilya is the bad guy. But from an emotional point of view, Hugo is difficult to accept.

Therefore, when he realized that the other party was Ilya, Hugo did not exaggerately show disgust, but he was not too excited or too flattering, just showing his politeness. Especially when Ilya was looking at herself with that critical look, Hugo not only did not back down, but took the initiative to attack. This is not very similar to Hugo’s usual personality-if it is normal, it is estimated that Hugo would also think Embarrassed a little, and then stood there to receive the baptism, but today is different.

Tim, Susan and others all looked at Hugo in amazement~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They did not expect Hugo to move like this; and Ilya had no intention of holding Hugo’s right hand. Even more surprising, the scene stiffened for a while. This made Tim feel a little uneasy. He originally thought it was out of politeness, and out of respect for Ilya-after all, Ilya personally came over to join the "death row" to join in-introduce two people to know each other, but he didn't expect the situation now is somewhat different. Can't deal with it anymore.

Just when Tim was about to speak to resolve the embarrassment, Ilya raised her hand, gently touched Hugo’s palm, then put her hand down, and slightly nodded her chin, "You look okay, barely a bit Ma Long's posture."

It is not easy to get praise from Ilya, not to mention that he compares Hugo with Marlon Brando, which is absolutely rare.

But Hugo showed a polite smile, put his right hand down naturally, and said, "Thank you for your compliment, but I am obviously not Mr. Brando." A sentence made Ilya stunned. He couldn't help but glanced at Hugo twice, but Hugo looked away and said to Tim, "I think, the movie is about to begin. Today's protagonist should be the movie and the audience, let's not be here. Take away the protagonist's light."

Why does this atmosphere feel a little strange?
