Superstar

Hugo followed Joseph and returned to the hall, then shuttled past the crowd picking the waltz, and walked along the stairs to the second floor. Joseph leaned against Hugo’s ear and said, “I just saw Martin Baum.” Unexpectedly, it seems that Brad Pitt is also trying his best to fight for the “Sugar Coated Trap” project, “but I didn’t see it. When it comes to Brad, I don’t know if they have talked about it or how far it has progressed."

As long as Joseph thinks that he has made little progress in the past month, he feels he wants to beat his chest. After all, he still lacks experience. It is impossible for a qualified agent to delay a project for a month and there is no news. Regardless of whether the project can be negotiated or not, he should actively keep in touch with the producer and get the news as soon as possible, but he is still too passive. I only hope that this time there is still time to save.

Hugo felt Joseph’s nervousness. His steps were much faster than usual. You could see that Joseph was very urgent. Hugo didn’t say much, but just comforted, “No matter what others are doing, at least we must do a good job first. We can do it by ourselves, otherwise, there is no need for competition from others, and we will be left behind."

Joseph paused in his footsteps. He knew that Hugo was telling the truth and that the matter was over. It would not help to complain about himself all the time. It is reasonable to focus on tonight's audition first. When Joseph stepped forward again, although he was still fast, but there was less urgent panic. It can be seen that he is trying to calm himself down.

The second floor is obviously the living room. Both sides of the corridor are designed for bedrooms. Hugo and Joseph walked to the large'door' on the left and stopped. There was a strong black man standing at the door. He crossed his hands in front of his body and stood in place with a serious expression. After seeing Hugo and Joseph appear, there was not much change. He just glanced at Hugo from the corner of his vision, and then lifted his left hand to knock. He knocked on the white wooden door behind him, "Sir, Hugo Lancaster is here."

About two seconds after the voice fell, the black man unscrewed the ‘door’ handle with his left hand and pushed open one-third of the space, signaling to let Hugo and Joseph in.

Looking at this scene, Hugo did not know why he remembered the opening scene of "The Godfather", and he and Joseph were like ordinary residents who were going to visit the Godfather. This idea makes Hugo feel a little absurd, because Sidney-Pluck is not a director with a gang background, and he has no knowledge of gangs. This can be seen from the work of director Sidney. from.

Sidney is an outstanding actor, and as a director, he is second to none in directing actors. Almost every actor in his works can be nominated for related performances. Meryl Sterry P, Dustin Hoffman, Paul Newman (paul.an) and other top acting actors are all in Sidney's tune. I have benefited a lot from teaching. Of course, among the many actors who cooperated with Sidney, Robert Redford is undoubtedly the most special one. The friendship between him and Sidney began in 1962 when the two people worked together as actors in the "hunting war". It has lasted for thirty years. When Robert's virgin ‘female’ as "Ordinary Man" was awarded the Oscar, he also personally expressed his gratitude to Sidney in his acceptance speech.

So, you can imagine how strong this personal relationship is when Robert takes the initiative to recommend Brad-Pitt to Sidney for the role of "Sugar Coated Trap".

With thousands of thoughts in Hugo's mind, he walked into the room. It was a 520 novel that filled his eyes. The huge globe on the desk attracted a lot of attention. Sidney was not sitting. Behind the desk, but sitting on the sofa in the middle of the coffee table, he stood up and welcomed Hugo and Joseph with a smile, "Good evening, gentlemen. How about the party tonight, do you like it?"

Sidney looked gentle, with'tumbled' curly hair, thick lensed eyes, wrinkled forehead and eye corners with the traces of time, and he looked like a very bookish man, which made Hugo I think of another intellectual director, Woody Allen, but compared to Woody, Sidney’s strong body is obviously much more proud.

"I'm old, although I like the excitement, but my ears can't bear it, I always need some clean space." Sidney jokingly explained the reason why he did not appear as a master, and shook Hugo and Joseph. Hand, and then motioned for two people to sit down.

"The so-called party, in fact, what I like is the excitement." Hugo temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his head, and looked at Sidney with a smile. "It's just that compared to the excitement, after the party is over. "Empty" is even more reluctant." Hugo's words made Sidney a little surprised, and his eyes stayed on Hugo's face for a while. "Of course, we must be fortunate. Today is to welcome you. New Year’s Day, so after midnight, I’m sure to be happier."

When Sidney regained his gaze, he saw the mistletoe stuck in Hugo's left chest and mouth, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Of course there is still hope." Sidney expected and Hugo. There were several situations during the meeting, but the actual situation was completely different. What he must admit is that, except for the hurried and polite meeting at the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng", he was not deeply impressed by Hugo. Except for a handsome face, being handsome is almost equal to a "flower" bottle. This law is hard to change in Hollywood, even if Hugo gets double nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, it still remains the same.

However, only two sentences and one detail today made Sidney's impression of Hugo concrete, "So, have you seen the script of'Sugar-Coated Trap'?"

Hugo remembered. Joseph said that the meeting time was only ten minutes. It is no wonder that Joseph didn't even intend to speak, and directly ‘handed over’ the initiative to him; it’s no wonder that Sidney went straight to the subject after being simple and polite. "No, I didn't get the script. It's really a pity." Hugo told the truth without any cover, but the tone was still relatively gentle, and he sincerely expressed his regrets, which made Sidney chuckle. , "But I am reading 520 novels, and I am currently reading the second time to try to further understand the relationship between the characters in the story..."

"A serious actor is the luck of the director and crew at all times." Sidney affirmed Hugo's positivity, and the kind smile on his face regained Hugo's confidence.

Hugo guessed that maybe the audition has been postponed for the past month to allow him to fully read the 520 novel. However, Sidney went on to say, "However, I must express my regret and sorry, this time we can't cooperate." Although Sidney's words were soft, but very firm, "There is no way to cooperate." Without any ambiguous vocabulary, it was categorically denied. This was completely contrary to the easing atmosphere just now, which surprised both Hugo and Joseph.

Hugo frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something, but Joseph couldn't bear it anymore. The sudden turn of the matter was really confusing, "But..." But Joseph only said the first syllable. Denis raised his hand to stop Joseph, and then went on to explain.

"I'm really sorry, Hugo is a very good actor, I'm pretty sure, he is absolutely capable of any role, but unfortunately, this time we have no chance to cooperate." Sidney sees Joseph said firmly, then turned his attention to Hugo, "I hope we can have a chance to cooperate next time."

In fact, Sidney originally intended to reject Joseph simply through his assistant, but Hugo's appearance and Joseph's persistence still moved Sidney. He decided that Hugo should at least be given the respect he deserves and told Hugo in person. Own decision. After all, it was Sidney who fancyed Hugo for the first time, hoping that Hugo would play the "sugar-coated trap".

Hugo carefully distinguished the words in Sidney's discourse. When he rejected the possibility of this cooperation, he used affirmative words; when talking about future cooperation, he used uncertain words. This shows that there is indeed no opportunity for cooperation, and the so-called future is just a polite statement to express Sidney's sincerity.

Hugo lifted his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "I originally thought about what kind of performance I would use to impress you, but I think there is no chance this time, so look forward to the future." Hugo The fact that he didn't continue to fight for the opportunity surprised Joseph. Joseph wanted to say something, but he saw the calm and calm smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth and swallowed all the words in his mouth.

Sidney looked at the young man in front of him. Although UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was rejected, his eyes were still full of confidence, not anger, but regret; not sad, but firm. This made Sidney admire Hugo again, and his heart was a little shaken. Hugo's appearance in "Sugar Coated Trap" can really show off, he believes this. But... remembering that he had made a decision, Sidney suppressed all his thoughts and said with a smile, "Of course I will look forward to the future..."

Hugo stood up first, followed by Sidney, then Joseph. The three shook hands with each other. Hugo said with a smile, "Then I won’t disturb you. The party tonight is very lively, you should Come down and join everyone in celebrating. There is not much time left in 1992."

Sidney chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, I will enjoy the New Year as much as possible after 1993. Enjoy a good night!"

After the courtesy, Hugo and Joseph turned and left the study.

Hugo knew that he and Joseph were one step behind, and this one step behind, as Lang Meyer said, was fatal. No matter how hard Hugo tried, it was impossible to reverse it. This is what Hollywood calls the supremacy of opportunity. Opportunities are everywhere. Some people get it and some people don't. This forms the difference between top actors and first-line actors. In the "sugar-coated trap" opportunity, Hugo missed it.
