Hugo stood there, looking at Ernst's back, he was a little puzzled. What did Ernst mean by the last sentence? Why did he feel that the topic of his dialogue with Ernst did not seem to be on the same plane?

Hugo couldn't help looking at Samora who was standing not far away. "Is the last sentence of Ernst just now irrelevant to our previous topic?"

Samora also had an embarrassed expression, "I can't say that it doesn't matter, but...it's a bit strange."

"Right!" Hugo's eyes lit up immediately, "I thought I had misheard, or my comprehension ability has declined. You think so too, don't you?" Samora nodded in approval to let the rain. Guo seemed to have found a soulmate, his emotions flew up immediately, but soon fell into confusion, "But, what did he mean by saying this in the end?"

Hugo just stood there and started thinking. Samora felt a little embarrassed. He patted Hugo on the shoulder, "Uh, don't we go home?"

Hugo looked up at Samora. Samora pointed to the building in front of him speechlessly. Hugo realized that the two of them were standing at the door of the house, but they did not enter, but were blowing cold wind outside. Hugo hurriedly pulled the collar of his trench coat and took a step forward.

The two came to the second floor and couldn't help but glance at the wooden door that was quietly closed as usual, and then walked upstairs again, back to the third floor, Samora opened the door, and Hugo went straight in and was on the sofa. Sit down, obviously still thinking of Ernst's words in his mind.

Samora stood at the door, and suddenly thought of something, "Hugo, do you think it's Uma?"

"What?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Samora.

But the more Samora thought about it, the more reasonable it made sense, "I mean Uma, you see, he said,'This is Hollywood' can change the real world of many things. Some people don’t deserve your sympathy, so don’t let your heart down. .. Isn’t this Uma? I heard from Joe this morning that all the auditions in Uma's hand have been cancelled, and her agent has let her disappear for a while recently."

Is this true? Ernst is comforting Hugo by saying that this is a cruel world. If you don't know how to fight back, you will only be eliminated. So don't lose your sense of competition because of kindness.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn’t help but laughed. It seems that Ernst still cares about himself very much. After the Golden Globes event last year, Ernst took the initiative to communicate with him; and today it is the same, worrying about himself too much. To be kind and tormented by conscience, so comfort yourself. Perhaps Ernst's heart is not as serious as his appearance, which reminds Hugo of his father.

In fact, Hugo looked at the back of Uma when he left the crew, and he still couldn't bear it, because this was the first time he saw someone he knew was overwhelmed by the media in the Hollywood system, even though Uma was instigated by it. What they have done is true, but this is still a powerful force of the media’s "witch trial." The media uses its own public opinion advantages to pressure public figures, then pressure, and finally use public opinion to criticize morality, which makes Hugo Feel a little awkward.

But this was only a momentary thought, because Hugo knew that he was not a saint, but he was not a villain either. Uma didn't need his sympathy, and he didn't need to be a bitch. The son also set up an archway. Hugo finally learned that this is the iron rule of Hollywood, and it is also the iron rule of society.

The reason why witch trials are condemned is that the judgments they endure are all fictitious, just victims of power. But Uma is not a "witch". All her actions are real, and everything is her choice. What Hugo did was only effective use of the media to counterattack.

Therefore, Hugo does not need sympathy, let alone guilt. For this, Hugo is very aware of this.

Although Hugo did not feel soft and did not need comfort, hearing Ernst's words still made Hugo feel a touch of warmth.

Hollywood is a more condensed and colder society. Everything you witness in this circle is actually the cruel reality of the entire society.

In time after time, Hugo gradually grew up, and he also realized that the reason why Vanity Fair was terrible was not because the fans of Vanity and Fortune took their eyes, but because any accident would make them lose themselves in this halo. Among them, I couldn't find my original self in the end.

Hugo once again remembered the sentence in the "Huayan Sutra", "Don't forget your original intention, and always have it." For others, 1993 may be the year when rock and roll re-emerged, or it may be the world calling for peace again. Years, but for Hugo, it is a journey to find the original heart.

From the beginning of the Golden Globes event at the beginning of the year, to the polishing of the two films later, and then a road trip from glory to death, and then a disagreement with Joseph, and at the end of the year, it experienced a frenzy of public opinion. Witness the end of Uma's depression.

Although the musical journey from glory to death has just begun, he and Joseph’s partnership still don’t know where it will go, and Uma doesn’t completely disappear in this world; but for Hugo, it’s like " In "Spirited Away", Qianxun's journey in Granny Tang's oil hut is just like.

This oil house called "Hollywood" is depriving Hugo of his self bit by bit, trying to make Hugo forget his name, and then staying in this land forever, being bound by fame and fortune, and becoming a slave to fame and fortune. Hugo is constantly struggling and working hard. He is eager not to lose himself. He is eager to succeed, but he is eager to stick to himself.

If you ask Hugo if you want to succeed? Of course he wants to stand on the big screen and perform wantonly. He also wants to stand on the stage with his glorious teammates and sing loudly, that kind of happiness. Joy is irreplaceable for all other moments. Maybe there is a bit of warmth and beauty in ordinary life, but this shining moment can make the whole life different.

If you ask Hugo if you want a Grammy or an Oscar? Of course he thinks, the Grammy gramophone trophy or the Oscar trophy is not only an award, but also for the creation, talent, and work of an artist The highest affirmation, even if they are dressed in the cloak of business, no one will deny their professionalism and authority. That glorious moment may be the most shining moment in life.

However, if the price of success is loss of self, if the price of success is loss of family or friendship, and if the price of success is loss of principles, then Hugo will hesitate, hesitate, and retreat. Perhaps the "successful" world is very beautiful, but if that If it's not one's own words, it has no meaning.

He doesn't want to be the look of Ernst-Lechman after being washed away from the lead. He also doesn't want to be the look of Michael Jackson after being flooded by sewage, and he doesn't want to be able to resist the choice and compromise. The appearance of Thurman who was taken by the fans of fame and fortune and desperate for moths to fight the fire... He was not someone else, he was just Hugo, Hugo Chen and Hugo Lancaster, nothing more.

Therefore, Hugo will not sympathize with Uma because it is not necessary; similarly, Hugo will not attend this Grammy because it is not worth it.

Although the Grammy was still honored to death in the end, it was fair to classify "almost fame" in the alternative music category; but in Hugo's view, this is not a professional recognition, but Grammy's business A compromise, which is not a commendable recognition for Glory to Death.

If the spirit of freedom, breakthrough, and innovation that Glory to Death has always adhered to is not recognized, then they don't exist. And the thirty-sixth Grammy was such an occasion where no corresponding recognition was given. The glory to death naturally did not belong there, and the glory to death naturally should not be there.

Maybe one day in the future, for example, in the next year or the next year, glory to death will appear on the Grammy stage, but it will definitely not be this year.

1993 was really a very special year for Hugo, and it was extremely important. No wonder others say that every roughness experienced will become a driving force for progress in the future, and all kinds of tribulations will carve out a person's personality bit by bit. Victor Hugo even said that there are thorny thorns on the avenue of art, which is also a good thing, and ordinary people are timid, except for those with strong will. Until now, Hugo really tasted the meaning of this sentence.

However, if you take a closer look at Ernst's words, Hugo is interested in Ernst's previous career, not only in glorious times, but also in the moments of low ebb and flow. In fact, Hugo thinks, what did Ernst look like when facing reporters? I don’t know if Ernst’s personality was so irritable when he was young.

"If it's really about Uma~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I don't think she has anything to sympathize with, she just asked for it." Samora mumbled, although he didn't understand Hugo and Wu What happened to Uma before, but in the case of "Pulp Fiction" this time, he also felt that Uma was completely self-inflicted.

Samora saw Hugo sitting on the sofa with a fascinated expression, she knew that Hugo was lost at all. He kicked the sofa and said, "The nine o'clock radio show, you are not going to wash and change clothes. , What are you still doing here?"

"Nil and they haven't arrived yet." Hugo stood up despite saying so, and there was a radio promotion tonight, because of the first single of the album "Almost Fame" It was finally officially released, so the band used Hugo's spare time to shoot "Pulp Fiction" to launch some simple publicity near Los Angeles.

"I'm going to cook dinner now. They probably will be there soon, and they can start off for dinner." Samora was talking, but when I turned back I saw Hugo disappearing from the back of the room, leaving him alone in the hall. Muttering to herself, Samora couldn't help but withdrew her mouth and walked towards the kitchen.
