Superstar

Chapter 1394: First meeting

Roland is a director. Although his qualifications are not deep, he has indeed seen many actors. In this Vanity Fair, the most indispensable are handsome men and beautiful women. Natural advantages in appearance can often become a stepping stone in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, Roland is quite immune to appearance. There are many people who look really good, and their appearance is indeed very good, even perfect, but many of them are just a mask, an empty shell, their eyes, talk, The temperament can't show the charm and foundation that matches the appearance, and often can only make people sigh "the appearance is really good", but after that, they can't leave any impression. Such people are countless in the entertainment industry.

This was the first time Roland saw Hugo with his own eyes. He had just walked into the theater, and there were at least more than one hundred people in his sight, but he saw Hugo at first sight. After crossing the bustling crowd, Hugo was Sitting there steadily like that, with a bright smile on his face, his eyes seriously looked at Leonardo dancing in front of him, listening carefully to the story told by Leonardo. A long distance away, Roland could even see the light gleaming in Hugo's eyes, and the whole person easily caught his sight, making him unable to move away.

What is the appearance of Hugo? There is no count of the falling sky in the outside world. At least Roland is too far away now and can't see clearly. He can't even see the shape of Hugo's eyes, nose, and mouth, but his sight is firmly locked in this way. Hugo.

Just because Hugo has a temperament, it is something that has been sculpted after years of tempering, the precipitation of knowledge, and the polishing of time. It is invisible, intangible, or even inexplicable, but that kind of temperament easily makes the whole Everyone else in the field was eclipsed-even the handsome and sunny Leonardo, even the bright and bright Cameron, even the bright and dazzling lights of the theater above.

Roland just froze in place, and he suddenly understood what the turbulence off the court was for.

"Roland, you are here." A voice broke Roland's hesitation and sluggishness. He turned his head, but only saw a vague dim halo. It seemed that the focus had not been recovered from Hugo, and he blinked. After adjusting the focus, I realized who the person in front of him was, "Hey, Sergio." Sergio Mimica Gozan, his assistant director.

"Huh, you're late." There was a thin layer of sweat on Sergio's forehead. "We don't have time to greet you now. This is the case. The crowds outside are too exaggerated. Our plan must be changed. Each group Fifteen children, when they saw those they liked, they shouted out and talked, and if they didn’t, they just went to the next group..."

"Wait, wait..." Sergio's fast speaking rhythm made Roland's slightly dull brain unable to react. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes again, "You mean , Each group has fifteen children, and then speed up, not to conduct in-depth auditions." Originally, they thought of each group of five children, talking one by one, but now it is obviously impossible.

"Yes, after you have chosen the one you are satisfied with, you can have a second audition." Sergio concluded simply and neatly. Roland nodded to express his understanding, "Also, Hugo will not participate in the whole process, he will wait the most. I will leave in half an hour..."

"It's okay. Casting is not his job." If he can, the last thing the director wants is for actors to participate in the casting work, because this is interfering with the work of the crew, so Roland smiled instead. nod.

"No, you didn't understand what I meant." Sergio added, "I mean, it’s better to make progress in this half an hour. You know, many people want to see Hugo, and also want rain. Guo can participate in their audition."

Only then did Roland react. He had forgotten that the reason why Hugo appeared today was requested by Kevin Pence, because this was one of the pre-publication links of "End of the World", otherwise Hugo did not have it at all. The plan to participate in the casting. "Sorry, I forgot. What are you waiting for? You can inform the interviewers outside that I have come in. I will go over and say hello to the actors."

Sergio made an "ok" gesture, and then walked quickly outside. Roland adjusted his breathing again and walked towards the direction where the actors gathered.

Because the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company attaches great importance to "the end of the world" this time, it can be said that all the elites of the company have made every effort. Almost every actor has a representative work. Not only the biggest Hugo was present today, but all other actors also came to join in. No wonder the number of reporters outside is so amazing. After today, everyone knows that the "End of the World" crew is about to officially start, just waiting for the children. The actors are selected. The strong cast of all members also made the scene star-studded.

"Good morning, Mr. Lancaster." At this time, Roland didn't have the director's command of the crew. On the contrary, with a gentle smile, he politely greeted Hugo on his own initiative.

Hugo, like everyone else, was listening to Leonardo’s story. Hearing Roland’s words, he quickly stood up, patted Leonardo’s arm lightly, and let the young man get out of the chair. Jumping down, Hugo first stretched out his right hand, "Is the German etiquette customary to call surnames? I hope I was not rude when greeting Germans before."

Roland was stunned by Hugo's words, and then laughed, holding Hugo's right hand, "It's nice to meet you, Hugo."

"Roland, you're late, I think the children outside are waiting in a hurry." Hugo joked with a chuckle, but there was a little bit of starlight in those amber eyes, blooming a friendly message.

Roland was infected by Hugo just after a meeting, and he could deeply feel Hugo's friendliness. This was completely different from Roland's previous guesses, but it also made Roland breathe a sigh of relief. Although Roland is not sure, Hugo’s politeness is only out of courteous superficial effort. After all, the pressing posture of Rick Rosen still left Roland's heart lingering, or Hugo’s true personality. But this is at least the first time we met. Let Roland relax.

Compared with the tense swords at the stage of cooperation negotiation, Roland's nervousness was relaxed after the cooperation was truly reached. He originally thought that the entire cooperation process would be arduous, but today's first meeting was a good start, which added to Roland. A lot of confidence.

After simply saying hello to others around him, when Roland was hesitating where he should sit down, Leonardo stood aside and gave up his position, let Roland and Hugo sit together, he laughed. Said, "Since it is work today, it is natural to let the director and the actor sit together."

Cameron, who was sitting on the other side of Hugo, was stunned for a while, and he realized when Roland sat down, and quickly stood up, "Sorry, I... I forgot... Sandra..." In "The End of the World", Cameron was just a friendly guest role, and did not play the heroine. Sandra Bullock got the role of Ja Siming.

Sandra, who was sitting behind, stood up and patted Cameron on the shoulder, "Don't mind, I will borrow Hugo for a long time during the next filming, so now I allow you to possess Hugo for a while. "Sandra's expression of "I am the owner of Hugo" caused everyone nearby to burst into laughter. Even Hugo couldn't help but glanced at Sandra depressedly.

Cameron also laughed involuntarily, but she still looked at Hugo, as if asking what Hugo meant. Hugo chuckled slightly. In fact, Leonardo was just joking. The most important thing was to give Roland and Hugo a time to get along. After all, this was the first time the two met, and it was the only one between the two before the film was officially filmed. Communication opportunities, as for other people, it doesn't matter.

After getting Hugo's affirmative look, Cameron sat down, and the surrounding excitement gradually settled down.

"Do you have any thoughts on the choice of children's actors today?" Roland asked politely. As he thought before, it is better not to participate in the work of the director, but Hugo's position is so special. , So he still had to communicate.

Hugo turned his head and shrugged his shoulders. "It depends on you." This made Roland cast a puzzled look. Hugo had to explain, "It depends on how you set this character. And how do you set the role of Steve. Would you like to spend some pen and ink shaping Steve's family line?"

The meaning of Hugo is very simple. If Roland does not intend to spend too much time on this role, then it is actually just a symbol. The so-called audition today is more of a link in the business operation of 20th Century Fox~www. wuxiaspot.com~ In the end, choosing a kid who fits your eyes, or choosing a little actor with performance experience based on personal relationships, does not have much effect.

But if Roland intends to make use of this role, he set Steve to have a child. This is obviously not written casually. It is bound to show Steve’s warm side, and the communication between father and son will become An important addition to the role. In many cases, there is no need for too many screens, just a few face-to-face conversations, or the eyes and small movements of the father when playing with his son. These details can be used to shape the character. This is enough for commercial films.

According to the second line of thinking, the young actor must have some spirituality, depending on what Roland wants him to show: is it clever or rebellious, is it eccentric or conforms to the rules, what is the commonality between him and his father. So this means that the selection of actors is not so sloppy.

Hugo’s words are very simple, but Roland has tasted something. He is not a director who has a deep research on character creation, but he can feel that Hugo does have his own ideas. Roland thought that Rick had his own ideas before. It's just casual talk, Hugo's request for the script is just one of the big tricks, but today, it seems that this is not the case.

"Oh, do you have an idea? You can talk and listen." Roland said.
