Chapter 2076: Blizzard end of the year

The weather in Wyoming has been terrible recently. It started to snow intermittently from mid-December, and there was a blizzard on Christmas Eve, which spread for nearly a day, and the snow outside the window had flooded the calf. The world wrapped in silver looks like the magnificent Middle-earth world in "The Lord of the Rings."

Adam carrying a plate with simple scrambled eggs and baked toast, stepped onto the second floor with firm steps, knocked on the door of the room, and then opened the wooden door that was not thick. , I saw the messy bed at a glance, but Hugo was not inside. Instead, he sat quietly in front of the window, tapping on the typewriter.

Outside the window is a vast white snowfield, and you can vaguely see the green and brown hidden under the thick white snow. The golden sunlight sheds unimpededly, making the whole world bright and golden, and there is a kind of trance. The illusion of being in a fairy tale kendo alone.

Adam put the plate on the table gently, opened his mouth to say something, but the words rushed to his mouth, he swallowed, and only whispered, "I'll go to the ranch." He didn't wait for the rain. Guo replied, turned around and left. When I reached the door, Hugo's voice came from behind him, "Merry Christmas!"

Adam's footsteps stopped uncontrollably, and he was silent for a while, and replied in a muted voice, "Merry Christmas."

"I put your gift under the Christmas tree, and there are gifts from Taylor's family." Hugo's voice came over again. Even if Adam did not look back, he could feel the smile in Hugo's voice, showing his goodness. Feeling.

Adam thought for a while, turned around and walked back again. He took out a small rectangular box from his trouser pocket, without any gift packaging, just a simple box, handed it out, Hugo took it, and Adam He left the room silently again, this time without any pause.

Hugo looked at Adam's slightly stiff back, showing a slight smile, bowed his head and opened the box. There was a pen lying inside. It was a very ordinary pen, and there were even some old ones. After a closer look, the brand on the side was even worn out. This made Hugo involuntarily open the pen and look carefully at it. Fan, then the memories in my mind surfaced bit by bit.

This pen was a gift given to him by Lena when he was in the first grade. He couldn't put it down so much. He used it almost every day, so that the sides of the pen were worn out. However, after Lena left without saying goodbye, Hugo angrily threw the pen away at that time, and never found it again.

Unexpectedly, this pen returned to his hand again today.

Three days ago, Hugo left Los Angeles and returned to Lanches. On the one hand, it is to accompany Adam through the annual Christmas, on the other hand, it is also to be willing to quiet down and devote himself to the adaptation of the script in the noisy environment of Los Angeles.

Although Adam still complained constantly, believing that Hugo’s return disturbed his peaceful life, but it can be felt that the atmosphere at home has become relaxed. The Taylor family also often come over because of Hugo’s existence, which makes Adam even more so. The stiff face can no longer remain the same.

In fact, Hugo told Adam about Lena before this. Adam has always been the one who persuaded Hugo to let go, so after learning the situation, Adam's mood was obviously lighter. However, Hugo did not expect that Adam would choose such a Christmas gift, which is really a surprise.

Hugo stopped working, leaned back on his chair, and carefully looked at the pen in his hand. Those long memories were almost obscured by fragments, but he rubbed the side of the pen. Imprints, that kind of distant familiarity slowly bloomed in the belly of the finger.

After thinking about it, Hugo opened the pen and found that it was full of ink. He took the piece of paper from the typewriter and started writing. Accustomed to using a typewriter, he suddenly switched to handwriting, but he was a little uncomfortable. This made Hugo pause, reorganizing his thoughts, and then started writing again, "John pulled up his coat and walked in quickly. The dormitory building..."

The black ink flows slowly on the white paper. It has a poetic romance. It is different from the solidity and squareness of the black type. The black ink has an indescribable smoothness and blooms with a faint luster. This reminds Hugo of the excitement when he first got a pen when he was a child. He could sit at the desk for almost the whole afternoon, unwilling to leave. Hugo deeply felt that he should have been a nerd when he was a child: to be precise , Not Chen Hugo, but Lancaster.

Hugo nodded vigorously, affirming his guess, "That's it."

On Christmas Day, Los Angeles was sunny. Not only was there no snow, but even the cold wind was not felt in the air. On the contrary, you could feel the restless enthusiasm, slowly spreading in the air: because, The first awards season in Hollywood history has quietly arrived.

On the last weekend of 1998, more than ten films were premiered-including the first round of screenings, which was unprecedented before. Among them, four films were premiered on a large scale, and the remaining six films were all partial. The intention to release before the Oscar registration deadline was really obvious in the Lich Tavern.

December of this year has completely become a carnival feast for art films. These films do not have the ability to drive the box office. Most of them are limited to online theaters, but their theme, quality, and style are determined. These works are all It is hoped to achieve outstanding results at the major award ceremonies at the end of the year. However, some movies are released before the deadline for registration of the Golden Globe Awards, some movies are released before the deadline for registration of the five major union awards, and some movies are released for the ultimate goal of each year-Oscars.

These movies occupies the big screens in November and December one after another. This is the first time in history. Most film companies don’t have a clear idea. They just hurriedly arranged the screenings, hoping to focus on bombing before the award ceremony, so that the judges can appreciate the charm of their works. , But there is always no specific strategy.

Among them, Miramax Films, led by the Weinstein brothers, has quietly sprung up. At the end of this year, they will focus on the work "Shakespeare in Love".

This movie brings together Joseph Fiennes (.), Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeffrey Rush, Tom Wilkinson (.), Judy Dench, Colin Faith Other powerful actors focused on Will Shakespeare and processed his story of "Romeo and Juliet" artistically, giving this one of the greatest and most famous writers in film history alive and vitality .

The Weinstein brothers apparently also tried to promote a movie around the awards ceremony in December for the first time, but their keen business sense allowed them to go ahead of everyone. "Shakespeare in Love" was released in the second week of December, meeting the deadline for registration for the Golden Globe Awards.

They launched an intensive screening of the film in Los Angeles, and invited judges from the Hollywood Association of Foreign Journalists and the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to watch the movie-this is allowed in the college regulations, because the judges can only watch the movie after watching the movie. Make an evaluation.

After three rounds of targeted intensive screenings, in the last week of December, the film had its first round of expansion in three hundred theaters. At the same time, the Weinstein brothers held various Party-a party that has nothing to do with the movie. It is just a year-end carnival. Most people in Hollywood participated in this year-end carnival. This still does not violate the college rules-because even the college can't prevent its judges from participating in the party.

But in such a mundane daily life, people in Hollywood circles gradually began to circulate a view when discussing in private: "Shakespeare in Love" is an excellent work, beyond imagination, even Better than "Trumen's World".

This remark sounds absurd, because "Trumen's World" is considered to be the only work comparable to "Forrest Gump" in recent years, and in terms of in-depth exploration and reality criticism of the film, "Trumen's World" is even better. Many people think that "Trumen's World" will be a strong contender for Oscars, and the biggest competitor of this film is "Saving Private Ryan"-this work is considered to surpass "Schindler's list" "It has become Steven's most perfect work so far.

But Now "Shakespeare in Love" is even better than "Trumen's World"? Isn't this the absurdity of the ridiculous world?

Therefore, this week's "Shakespeare in Love" held a full expansion, many people decided to go into the movie theater to see this work, to examine the authenticity of this work, to see how true the rumors are.

No one noticed. Quietly, "Shakespeare in Love", which was only released for three weeks, has become a work that everyone talks about; however, Steven has noticed. This time, when he thought of Hugo's warning, an inexplicable premonition emerged in his heart. After waiting for two weeks, hesitated again and again, Steven found David Geffen, and the two had an in-depth conversation for nearly two hours.

On Christmas Day, DreamWorks announced that it would hold a New Year's Eve party to welcome the second year after DreamWorks was founded. At the same time, "Saving Private Ryan", who was already close to going offline, announced again that it will conduct a second round of expansion next week, which will be screened in 800 theaters.

For a while, the undercurrent of Hollywood surged, but this time, only a few of them could smell the anomaly. More people just think this is an ordinary day. In the midst of this commotion, the last week of December came and a large wave of movies premiered, including "Girl. The Devil".
