The weather in Wyoming has been very bad recently. It started to snow on and off in mid-December. By Christmas Eve, there was a blizzard, which spread for nearly a day. The snow outside the window had already flooded its calves. The silver-covered world looked like the magnificent Middle-earth world in the "Lord's Ring".

Adam, carrying a plate with simple scrambled eggs and baked toast, walked up to the second floor with solid steps, knocked on the door of the room, and then pushed open the not-thick wooden door, and saw the messy quilt at a glance, but Hugo was not inside, but sat quietly in front of the window, knocking at the typewriter.

Outside the window is a vast white snow field, and you can vaguely see the green and brown hidden under the thick white snow. The golden sunshine shines unimpededly, making the whole world shine brightly. In a trance, there is the illusion of being in a fairy tale.

Adam gently placed the plate on the table and opened his mouth to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed it, just whispered, "I'll go to the ranch to see." Without waiting for Hugo's reply, he turned around and left. When he walked to the door, Hugo's voice came from behind, "Merry Christmas!"

Adam's steps stopped, he was silent for a moment, and replied in a muffled voice, "Merry Christmas."

"I have placed your gift under the Christmas tree, and there are gifts from the Taylor 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 good mood.

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

Hugo looked at Adam's slightly stiff back and showed a faint smile. He lowered his head and opened the box. There was a pen lying inside. It was a very ordinary pen, and it was even a little old. After looking carefully, the brand on the side was even a little worn. This made Hugo unable to help but open the pen, search carefully, and then the memories in his mind emerged bit by bit.

This pen was a gift from Lina to admission to him when he was in his first grade. He couldn't put it down and used it almost every day, so that the sides of the pen were worn out. However, after Lina said goodbye, Hugo angrily threw the pen away and never found it again.

Unexpectedly, this pen returned to his hands again today.

Three days ago, Hugo left Los Angeles and returned to Lanchez. On the one hand, it was to accompany Adam to spend the annual Christmas, and on the other hand, it was to be willing to be in the noisy environment in Los Angeles, and to completely calm down and devote himself to the adaptation of the script.

Although Adam still complained constantly, thinking that Hugo's return disturbed his peaceful life, it can be felt that the atmosphere at home has become relaxed. The Taylor family also often came over because of Hugo's existence, which made Adam's stiff face unable to continue to remain the same.

In fact, Hugo told Adam about Lena before that. Adam has always been the one who advised Hugo to let go, so after learning about the situation, Adam felt a little relieved. However, Hugo did not expect that Adam would choose such a Christmas gift, which was really a surprise.

Hugo stopped the work in his hand, leaned back to the back of the chair, and carefully looked at the pen in his hand. The long-standing memories almost even some fragmented fragments became blurred, but rubbed the marks on the side of the pen, the distant sense of familiarity slowly bloomed in his fingertips.

After thinking about it, Hugo opened the pen and found that there was enough ink inside. He took off the paper on the typewriter and started to start writing directly. He got used to using the typewriter, but suddenly changed to handwriting and was a little uncomfortable. This made Hugo pause, reorganized the thoughts in his mind, and then started writing again, "John pulled out his coat and walked into the dormitory building..."

The black ink flowed slowly on the white paper, with a poetic romance. Unlike the solidity and squareness of black lead type, the black ink has an indescribable fluency, blooming with a faint luster. This reminded Hugo of the excitement when he first got a pen when he was a child. He could almost sit at the desk all afternoon and not want to leave Hugo deeply felt that he should have been a nerd when he was a child: to be precise, Chen Hugo is not, Lancaster is.

Hugo nodded vigorously and expressed his affirmation of his guess, "That's it."

On Christmas Day, Los Angeles was sunny. Not only was there no snow, but the bitter cold wind could not be felt in the air. On the contrary, the restless enthusiasm could also be felt 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 movies were premiered, including the first round of premiere, which was unprecedented in the past. Four of them were premiered on a large scale, and the remaining six movies were all partially premiered. The intention to be released before the Oscar registration deadline is really obvious.

December this year has become a carnival feast for art films. These movies do not have the ability to drive the box office, and most of them are limited to art theaters. However, their theme, quality, and style determine that these works have the hope of achieving outstanding results at major awards ceremony at the end of the year. However, some movies are for the purpose of being released before the Golden Globes registration deadline, some movies are for the registration deadline of the five union awards, and some movies are for the ultimate goal of each year's Oscar.

These movies all occupied the major screens in November and December in a mess. This scene was the first time in history. Most film companies did not have a clear idea, but just arranged for release in a hurry, and then hoped to bomb in a concentrated manner before the award ceremony began so that the judges could appreciate the charm of their works, but they never had specific strategies.

Among them, Miramax Film, led by the Weinstein brothers, quietly emerged. They focused on the work "Shapes Love History" at the end of this year.

The film brings together powerful actors such as Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeffrey Rush, Tom Wilkinson, Judy Denge, Colin Fiss, etc., and focuses on Will Shakespeare, artistically processing his story of "Romeo and Juliet", giving this writer, one of the greatest and most famous in film history, the vivid vitality.

The Weinstein brothers were obviously the first time they tried to promote the film around the awards ceremony in December, but their keen sense of business allowed them to go ahead of everyone. "Shapes Love History" was released in the second week of December, catching up with the Golden Globes registration date.

They held intensive previews of movies in Los Angeles, inviting judges from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences to go to the cinema to watch movies. This is allowed in the college regulations, because judges can only make evaluations after watching the movie.

After three rounds of targeted and intensive screenings, the movie was only expanded in the last week of December in 300 theaters. At the same time, the Weinstein brothers held various parties that had nothing to do with the movie, just a year-end carnival. Most Hollywood people participated in this year-end carnival. This still did not violate the college regulations because even the college could not prevent its judges from attending the party.

But even in such a dull daily life, people in the Hollywood circle gradually began to spread a view when discussing it privately: "Shapes' Love History" is an excellent work, beyond imagination, and even better than "Trumen's World".

This statement sounds a bit ridiculous, because "Trumen's World" is considered to be the only work in recent years that can rival "Forrest Gump". In terms of deep digging and realistic criticism of the film, "Trumen's World" is even better. Many people believe that "Trumen's World" will be a strong contender for the Oscars, and the biggest competitor of this film is "Save Private Ryan". This work is considered to surpass "Schindler's List" and become Steven's most perfect work at present.

However, now the "Shapes' Love History" is even better than the "Trumen's World"? Isn't this a big ridiculous thing in the world?

Therefore, this week, the "Shapes' Love History" was fully expanded. Many people decided to go to the cinema to see this work, examine the real material of this work, and see how authentic the rumors are.

No one noticed that, quietly, "Shapes' Love History", which had only been released for three weeks, has become a work that everyone talks about; however, Steven noticed. This time, when he thought of Hugo's warning, an ominous premonition emerged in his heart. After waiting for two weeks, hesitated for a while, Steven found David Geffen, and the two talked in depth 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 the establishment of DreamWorks. At the same time, "Save Private Ryan", which was already close to being offline, once again announced that the second round of screening expansion will be held next week, with screenings in 800 theaters.
