Superstar

Samora parked the car at the door of his house, Hugo got out of the car, and then saw Ernst Lechman cursing beside the trash can. Apparently someone else did not accurately throw the trash into the trash can. Every time Let Ernst nag for a long time.

Ernst noticed that the car behind him had stopped, and immediately turned around and squinted at Samora who came out of the driver’s seat. Samora reacted immediately and waved his hand, "No, it’s not me. Today’s **** is me. Haven't lost it yet."

Ernst curled his lips and continued to turn around and muttered, "This is simply low morals, how can he do such a humiliating thing, how dare he!" It can be seen that Ernst said this Very angry.

Hugo looked at Ernst in front of him and overlapped him with the famous screenwriter "Ernst Lechman" in Harvey Weinstein's words, but found that this was really incredible. He still didn't. The way to overlap the images of Ernst and the screenwriter, it is not so easy to adjust after leaving a fixed impression in his mind.

The Ernst in front of him was wearing a rumpled suit. The worn-out shirt and dark blue pilling sweater can be judged by the naked eye that they have a long history. His gray hair has been combed into a neat back. Not fit enough, slightly messy, coupled with the full of vulgar words and grumpy temper, it is nothing more than a lonely old man living next door, and has nothing to do with the image of "screenwriter" or related professions such as literati and author.

Could it be that Ernst in front of him is not the famous screenwriter, but a person with the same name and surname? This is not impossible.

"Why! Don't look at me with that kind of gaze, I hate it." Ernst sensitively noticed Hugo's probing eyes and curled his lips, which made Hugo shy away from his gaze and turned towards Ernst smiled. Obviously Ernst didn't buy it. He glared at Hugo angrily and grumbled, "The young man is really not polite now..."

Hugo was really dumbfounded by standing next to him, but there was no way to refute it, he could only touch his nose and admit that he was unlucky.

After murmured, Ernst seemed to suddenly remember something. He looked around and said bitterly, "Those crows have finally left, and their ears can be cleaned. Recently, it feels like living next to a subway station. , There is no time for peace at all." After speaking, Ernst also took Hugo a glance, obviously blaming Hugo to be the culprit of all this.

Hugo was unwilling to admit his mistakes, his eyes rounded and he went back, "Is there a quiet time in Los Angeles? Those crows don't fly around every day."

Ernst looked at Hugo violently and said, "Since you came, there has been no quiet around here." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Hugo disgustingly, hesitated, but the whole momentum receded again. "But what you said makes sense. Even if you don't come to the door, the crows won't stop."

Hugo thought for a while, and seeing that Ernst seemed not as irritable as before, he decided to ask his doubts directly, "Ernst, I heard that you used to be a screenwriter? Is this true?"

Ernst didn't expect Hugo to ask such a question suddenly. He was stunned, and then his brows were tightly entangled together, and he raised his eyebrows and shouted directly, "So what?"

If it’s a stranger, he must have been frightened by Ernst’s roars, but Hugo has lived here for almost two years. He also knows Ernst to a certain extent, so instead I sketched the corners of my mouth and smiled, "Not very good, just a little curious, you know, the bad-tempered old man in my neighbor's house is actually a famous person. This is always very interesting for children, just like... it's like science. It's the same as exploring."

Ernst looked at Hugo’s warm smile, and all the words were stuck in his throat. After trying twice to say something, he didn’t say anything. In the end, he could only say, “Children. , You’re still a child, you’re about to be a thirty-year-old person, cut.” After speaking, he sneered, and kept peeking at Hugo and then moving away, as if he wanted to turn around and leave, but he felt It was too frustrating to leave this way, so it was difficult to make a decision while standing still.

Hugo was not in a hurry either, he just stood there, looking at Ernst with a smile on his face, waiting patiently for an answer. On the other hand, Samora looked like he was watching a good show. He had only been here for less than two months. He was not familiar with Ernst at all. On the contrary, he had suffered a lot. Now he is hesitant to see Ernst. The appearance of the decision is a rare happy event for Samora.

"What are you laughing at!" Ernst's fast turning eyes saw Samora's smile, and he immediately shouted angrily. Samora, who suffered from the innocent disaster, could only lower his head in depression, and Ernst was slightly satisfied. Yes, but as soon as I rolled my eyes I saw Hugo who was still smiling, and his mood suddenly became worse. In the end, I could only say grumpily, "It was all 17 years ago, and I don’t remember it for a long time. ."

In seventeen years, Ernst’s words revealed his true emotions. He clearly remembered that the shooting time of his last work "The Strange Case" was in 1976, but he said so bluntly, this little one. The details made Hugo suddenly sad.

Hugo didn't know what caused Ernst to keep secret of his previous brilliance, but looking back on Ernst's life in the past two years, Hugo is somewhat inexplicably sad. Like Catherine Hepburn, they are both top existences who have created countless brilliances, but the growth of the years has gradually made them disappear from the attention of the spotlight, but Catherine is still active on the Broadway stage, but Ernst No, he is just a lonely old man, grumpy and bored guarding his empty house, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow, or the arrival of death.

But the sentence just now revealed Ernst's thoughts. He still missed the joy of writing the script seventeen years ago. Moreover, he would still call reporters crows, and he would still be willing to share a little bit of his inner thoughts when he saw Hugo upset because of the Golden Globes incident. Perhaps Ernst chose to live a peaceful life in Sunset Square because he never let it go.

After Ernst finished speaking, he took a look at Hugo. He could see a faint sadness in Hugo’s quiet eyes, but it seemed to sting his pride like sympathy, so Ernst immediately stood up. Straightening his back, he said to Hugo in full force, "Those memories are long gone, and have nothing to do with my current life."

Hugo looked at Ernst's back, stubborn and stubborn. He knew that his "grief" stung Ernst, and it could even be said to be an insult. The passage of years took away the original glory and glory, but But it can't take away the pride and persistence of the original. Hugo was a little embarrassed to clean up the sadness in his sight.

"Last year," Hugo quickly opened his mouth to raise the question in his heart. This sentence made Ernst's departure a little pause, "Nora-Efron is willing to give me a second audition opportunity, yes Did you recommend it to her?"

Hugo thought about the reason for the second chance of "Sleepless in Seattle". He never found a clue, but now, Ernst is the most likely candidate.

After the Golden Globes incident, Hugo's depression Ernst was seen in his eyes. Although Ernst always had no good face to Hugo, it could even be said to be swear words, but Hugo knew that this A lonely old man was wrapped in a violent temper, but he was afraid of loneliness. Therefore, Ernst recommended Hugo to Nora and won the second audition opportunity for Hugo, which makes perfect sense.

Ernst did not look back, but calmly said, "It is your own efforts to get this role in the end." Although he did not admit it, he did not deny it either.

Looking at the back of Ernst preparing to leave again, Hugo quickly said, "Thank you." This made Ernst pause again, "I mean, although you need to rely on your own strength to seize the opportunity, it's not all Everyone can get a chance. This is true in society, and even more so in Hollywood, so thank you for giving me this opportunity."

In the Hollywood world, there are countless actors who are capable and qualified. There are no one hundred thousand or eighty thousand. The competition for each role is almost a battle of more than thousands of people, especially actors who have experienced troughs or newcomers who have just entered the industry. It is too difficult to compete with those actors who have achieved great fame. Many people consume all their youth and ambition without even being able to touch the opportunity.

After the Golden Globes incident ~www.readwn.com~ Hugo's situation is not so bad, at least not on the edge of a cliff, at best it can be said to be a temporary trough, after all, "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Smell the Fragrance to Know Women" Hugo’s success can still give Hugo some bargaining chips; but "Sleepless in Seattle" gave Hugo the first chance, and Hugo successfully seized it, which is undoubtedly a major issue for Hugo, who was in a low period. Breakthrough.

Although Ernst could solve a matter with just a word or a phone call, it was one of the most important turning points for Hugo in 1993. So the phrase "thank you" comes from the heart of Hugo's heartfelt thanks.

When Ernst heard this, he stood still but didn’t make much movement. After a while, he turned around, looked at Hugo, and said with a serious face, "This is Hollywood. One sentence can change the real world of many things. Some people don’t deserve your sympathy, so don’t let your heart down."

After dropping this inexplicable sentence, Ernst took his own steps again, crouched, stepped up the stairs step by step, and disappeared from the sight of Hugo and Samora.
