Chapter 181: Chick movie

Christmas lights decorate the streets and alleys in colorful, but it is a pity that the city without snow always lacks a little festive atmosphere, and the cold winter in Los Angeles makes Christmas look like Santa Claus. An island that will be patronized. Hugo couldn't help but wondered whether Santa Claus would melt away when he went to the equator to distribute gifts.

Joseph returned to Los Angeles a day earlier than expected. He went directly to the third floor with his luggage on his back. Seeing Hugo sitting on the sofa holding a box of potato chips watching "Home Alone", he was stunned. The corner of the mouth outlines a shallow arc, "Are you still a child?" A childlike movie like "Home Alone" is okay to watch once, but only a child will like it after watching it a few more times.

Hugo didn't even turn his head back. He looked at the screen and laughed constantly, "It fits the festive mood." The hearty laughter really made the house feel like Christmas. This kind of pure laughter is also Joseph's tight shoulders have not yet loosened, and the situation at home these past two days can't be said to be very good. "Why did you come back early? Isn't it the plane that explained the day?"

Hugo lifted the potato chips in his hand and stretched it towards Joseph. Joseph dropped his luggage and sat down beside Hugo, and reached for the potato chips. "Peter got into trouble again, and didn't come back on Christmas Eve. Later we were blocked at home. Some gangsters went to the door to find him, but I sent him away."

If Hugo remembers correctly, it was Peter who owed the debt last time. The plot of "Home Alone" on the TV screen has lost its appeal. Hugo's eyes are still on the TV screen, but his thoughts have shifted, "Then you come back now, doesn't it matter?" It stands to reason, now. The Gibbs family was right when they needed Joseph.

Joseph shook his head, squeezed the corners of his mouth slightly, venting his helplessness, "My brother Paul is at home. He is already seventeen years old this year. Don’t worry if he is taking care of him at home. There is also Mary at home. , She is now the most capable one in the family."

"Oh, Mary, is she okay?" Every time Joseph mentioned his little sister, he was always full of affection, and Hugo could already hear the cocoon.

Joseph really chuckled, "She, she is very good, very good. She decorated the Christmas tree at home this year, and she did a great job." A smile appeared in Joseph's eyes, but he fell silent soon. Go on, "It's just Peter... I don't know where the man is."

This is also a ill in the early 1990s. If the communication network is so developed in the 21st century, mobile phones and credit cards can all become channels for tracking location. Of course, this has also been criticized as the chief culprit for causing people to ‘private’ and be forced to ‘expose’. However, under the current circumstances, it is not so easy for Joseph to find Peter.

As you can imagine, the life of Joseph's family was not easy. "Peter is thirty years old, right?" Hugo said, Joseph nodded, "That's right, he already has an independent personality and ability to act, you have tried your best, then the rest will be It's up to him, you can't take everything back to yourself, you are not a superman."

Facing Hugo’s comfort, Joseph was a little at a loss. He raised his head and looked at Hugo with a "confused" eye. "Am I really doing my best?" This question made Hugo choke immediately. , Family, can never be measured by normal standards, even if Joseph has tried his best from the eyes of others, but in Joseph's heart, if he is unwilling to let him go, then things will never end.

In this regard, Hugo could not say any better words, and could only say, "You have been working hard..." These words made Joseph gently tug at the corner of his mouth and put the potato chips into his mouth. Chewing feebly, full of heaviness and loneliness.

Looking at Joseph like this, Hugo suddenly thought why he has no brothers and sisters. The United States is not a country where family planning is implemented. Here, it is normal for many families to have brothers and sisters, but the Lancaster family does not. Is there any reason for this? But immediately, Hugo abandoned this idea. He is too sensitive now, and he will question everything, just like a ‘spirit’ sensitive patient.

In "Home Alone" on the TV, Kevin is showing his power, punishing the two thieves who tried to break the'door' and entering. Watching the thieves get mischievous and full of jokes, even though these episodes have been seen long ago, Makes people happy. Indeed, as Hugo said, this movie fits the festive mood.

Joseph let out a long sigh of relief, and he sank into the sofa, letting out a comfortable murmur. "Yin", "I have to buy a sofa like yours."

Hugo took a few potato chips again and stuffed them into his mouth, and focused his attention on the TV screen again, "When you want to watch TV, just come downstairs and watch it."

"By the way, I came back early because I have a job." Joseph suddenly remembered that it was this job that brought him back to Los Angeles from his home in Houston in advance.

Hugo frowned and murmured, "There is still work for Christmas? I thought everyone was on vacation these days."

"In fact, it's not a job, it's an audition, an audition for a movie." Joseph temporarily left the family affairs behind and gradually relaxed himself.

"'Sugar-coated trap'?" This was Hugo's first reaction. After all, the film said it was going to audition before "Yihai Xiongfeng" was released, but it was going to pass a month in the blink of an eye, and the audition never started. Had it not been for any news in the circle, Hugo would have doubted whether Brad Pitt had been secretly designated as the actor by Sidney'Po' Rack.

"Oh, no, the audition for that movie will be pushed back, probably around the New Year. The term'front and back' here actually refers to the back." Joseph tilted his head slightly and glanced at Hugo diagonally. , Expressed his helplessness. In fact, in the final analysis, he has insufficient power as an agent. If it were Ron Meyer, this audition would certainly not be that difficult. Especially when "Yihai Xiongfeng" has achieved such outstanding results.

Hugo shrugged and curled his lips. "I'm used to it. Big directors always need us to wait. What's more, it's a holiday these days, maybe Sidney is on holiday." This is also a guess, but In general, this is the situation. Hugo doesn't have much to do except wait. Because Hugo is not yet big enough to influence the process of film auditions. "Then what audition is this time?"

Although the audition for "Sugar Coated Trap" has not started, the success of "Yihai Xiongfeng" obviously has a far-reaching impact. Other film companies have seen this, and it is not surprising that they are invited to the door.

"It's a little girl movie (.), do you know about a little girl movie?" When talking about work, Joseph sat up a little bit, and the spirit of the spirit came back a lot. "Meeting Sally' is a chick movie."

The so-called chick movies are actually light-hearted romantic comedies. Most of them focus on'female' and'sex', and male'sex' plays a supporting role. Even if this is not the case, the weight of'female' and'sex' in the movie is also It's enough to be compared with the male'sex', and the theme of the movie is often love. In English, "" is a slang term for "female" and "sex", so this type of movie can be called a "chicken" movie, that is, a little girl movie.

Chick movies have always occupied a very important position in Hollywood, not only shaping many American sweethearts, but also making many handsome men become the objects of "women" people's dreams. For example, "Breakfast at Tiffany (breakfast.at.'s made Audrey Hepburn (audrey.hepbury...swayze) become famous in one fell swoop, and thus received the job of "the end of human and ghost"; and " "Pretty Beautiful Lady" not only made Julia Roberts a hit, but also made Richard Gere a golden bachelor.

"Yes, of course, I have always liked chick movies." Hugo nodded, he still knows a little bit about it. No, Joseph cast an inquiring gaze, which made Hugo depressed, "What's the matter, is it that only female students are allowed to watch chick movies? Like "When Harry Meets Sally" We can also like the work, can't we?"

Generally speaking, the main audience group of "lang" comic romantic comedy is "female" and "sex". In the Hollywood film industry above male "sex", the proportion of chick movies is also very limited. But it is undeniable that there have been many good films in the Chick Films, such as "When Harry Meets Sally", which discussed two. 'sex'. Relationship; another example is "Tiffany's Breakfast", the 1961 works are still regarded as classics.

Joseph chuckled lightly. "Yes, it's like this. You know that'When Harry Meets Sally' is Rob's work, right?"

"Of course." Rob Reiner, the director of "Yihai Xiongfeng", started as an actor, but his career as an actor did not get much better, but he has made good achievements in the director position and relied on "When Harry meets." The work "Upper Sally" ranks among the top directors, and Hugo will naturally not forget this.

"This audition opportunity is highly recommended by Rob~www.readwn.com~Joseph has just talked about the focus of his work. "When Harry Meets Sally's screenwriter Nora Efron(.) This Secondly, she directed a movie in person. This is her second work and it is also a little girl movie, so she found Rob, hoping that Rob can be a guest, and discussed the details of the filming together. Then... Then Rob recommended you to Nora, thinking that you are very suitable for the actor of this script. "

The outstanding performance of "Scenting the Fragrance and Recognizing the Female" gave Hugo an audition opportunity for "Yihai Xiongfeng"; and now the excellent performance of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has won Hugo two auditions successively. , Hollywood circles are indeed intertwined.

Nora Efron, this is a well-known "sexual" screenwriter, her debut "female" work "Sikwood Incident ( won the Oscar nomination for best original screenplay, and then "Dangha "Lee meets Sally" once again made Nora nominated for Best Original Screenplay. This 51-year-old "female" strongman brought new life to Hollywood chick movies from the perspective of her'female' and'sex'. It can be said that she can be regarded as the pioneer of chick film genre, and it is not an exaggeration.

Hugo nodded again and again, Rob would recommend him so proactively. Hugo is not surprised, because Rob has always cared for him in the crew before, but Hugo is more curious, Rob is so actively recommending his role. 'Which script is it, "what's the name of the script?"
