Superstar

　　 Seeing Joseph's embarrassed appearance, Hugo laughed openly, sitting in the front passenger seat and leaning forward and back, very happy. This is the happiest moment since he traveled over.

　　 Hugo is of course joking. Although he is not a messenger of justice, he wants to crack down on all the unspoken rules, but he also knows that this is the industry rule. Jiang Taigong has taken the bait and there is nothing to complain about. But as far as Hugo is concerned, he never wants to take shortcuts, and there are no shortcuts to the road of art.

　　 Hugo resolutely ran away from home for his musical dreams and spent a full decade in the underground rock music world. If he hadn't pursued his dreams with passion, he would not have persisted for so long. Therefore, Hugo still hopes to stand at the top with his own strength rather than the shortcut of the unspoken rules.

Just now Hugo also made a joke with a flash of inspiration. He can't always say "Joseph, do you know where a time machine can send me back to 2014", so he can only relax himself in a self-deprecating way, but he didn't expect the effect to be this way. outstanding.

　　 Joseph slapped his chest slowly, and the breath of his distraction, fortunately, there is a traffic jam and the speed is not fast, otherwise he would have an accident when he was frightened just now. Turning his head and looking at Hugo sitting in the passenger seat, that brilliant smile was shining in the golden sunshine of Los Angeles. Joseph has always known that Hugo has a very good appearance, but this is the case of Hugo at this moment. It's fresh, just like a ray of sunshine, which makes people dazzling and fascinated. Compared to Hugo's appearance, the temperament revealed in this smile is the most fascinating place. Hugo is now more dazzling than any moment in Joseph's memory.

　　 set his sight on the road ahead again, Joseph said, "Hugo, you don’t lack the opportunity to audition."

Hugo supported his right hand on the window, opened his palm, and felt the light bounce of the sunlight on his fingertips. The breeze passed by, and he could feel the gentle sliding touch between the fingers, which was very subtle. "Heh, it seems that I’m still very popular." This is Hugo who has gradually become proficient in using the first person, although he will still pop up when he sees his face in the rearview mirror, "Who is this?" ", but at least it won’t be constrained by language. This may be a change, which means that Hugo really can’t go back.

　　 Listening to Hugo's self-deprecating words, Joseph twitched his mouth, "No, my agent is good enough to win these opportunities for you."

"Then your charge shouldn't be cheap." Hugo leaned his head on his arm, feeling the comfort of the breeze blowing between the hair. This can make his mood slowly settle down, and he won't be because of it anymore. This is a lot of difficulties and irritability, constant complaints.

Joseph responded, "I only accept cash." The subtext is not to compare him with Tracy. Hugo can't help but laugh, "But you are in a bad situation now. You must find a copy as soon as possible. Work, and then find another place to live."

　　 Hugo thought for a while, that's why. It seems that Hugo was driven out by Tracy and was homeless, so he had to live with his agent. From Joseph’s residence, it can also be seen that Hugo has been mixed up very badly in the past year. The agent relies on the artist’s work remuneration to make a living, and the downturn in Hugo’s career naturally affected Joseph.

　　 From here, you can think of it. It seems that Joseph is not a senior agent either. He should be an artist named Hugo at present. Immediately afterwards, Hugo remembered that he had been handed over to Joseph by Ron Meyer last year. It seemed that Lang had seen the inevitable decline of Hugo in advance, so he made a wise decision ahead of time. The vision of a senior agent.

As soon as Joseph turned his head, he saw Hugo's relaxed posture, and he could clearly see that the frustration and loss of Hugo body was slowly radiating in the sun. Joseph knew that it is estimated that Hugo was still because of the failure of the "Dahe Love" interview. Suffered a blow. Joseph wanted to say something to comfort Hugo, "Hugo, in fact, you always have a chance, you have to know this."

"Opportunity?" Hugo raised his head slightly and leaned his head on the window frame. At this time, the road began to go smoothly, the speed of the car gradually increased, and the oncoming wind became stronger and stronger, making Hugo involuntarily close. I opened my eyes and felt the comfort of the wind and sunlight stroking my cheeks.

"Yes. Before the'Deadly Moment', all of your works were highly acclaimed, maybe small productions, but the reputation of each one was very solid, and your performances were well received. This is also the reason why Lang was very optimistic about you at the beginning. You have talent and excellent talent." Joseph organized his own language while driving. He didn't speak fast, but Hugo listened very seriously. "And you have a great appearance, which will never go out of style in Hollywood."

　　 A bitter smile formed at the corner of Hugo's mouth. In fact, in Hollywood, there are countless actors with good looks and talents, but there are only a handful of actors who can really break through the siege and make a name for themselves. Whenever professional newspapers and magazines select the 100 greatest people in the history of film and music, Hugo will think that even if a thousand people are selected, there are thousands of people out of this thousand. Nobody, he also wants to be the front one thousand people, but reality tells him: he is just one of the thousands on the periphery.

　　What is the most important factor in the entertainment industry?

　　 is not just about appearance, not only because of the difference in aesthetic viewpoints, but also because the predecessors and successors of handsome men and beautiful women are actually the least valuable capital in Hollywood. Although the entertainment industry accounts for almost 80% of people based on their appearance, appearance is just a stepping stone. It is not that simple to win attention.

It's not talent or strength, because the chance of fleeting genius in the vast crowd is so small, in the past century of music and film history, actors and singers who can truly be called "geniuses" are rare. Several people. Moreover, even if there are talents, such as Broadway or the West End of London, there are countless talents with extraordinary talents, but they can't bring them fame and success. Hugo is actually talented. Whether it is music or acting, the accumulation of ten years of hard work outside has allowed him to have a precipitation that his peers do not have, but it is a pity that he still has not been able to be in the music industry or the film industry before crossing. Win a place.

　　 is not hard work. There are countless people in the world who are willing to sweat for their goals, but the law of diligence to make up for one's weaknesses is the smallest influencing factor in the field of art. "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." In the world of art, that one percent of inspiration is often the decisive factor.

　　 Then, can people who have the appearance, talent, strength and willingness to work hard succeed? uncertain. Because in the entertainment business, the decisive factor is opportunity, or luck.

Jack Lemmon (Jack. Lemmon) is one of the greatest actors in American film history. He is the first actor in history to collect the Best Actor Award at the three major film festivals in Cannes, Berlin and Venice. In the third film of his actor career, "Mister Roberts (Mister. Roberts, he dedicated a wonderful performance, and finally won the Oscar for best supporting actor statuette.

After winning the prize, Jack Lemmon happily shared this joy with his acting teacher, but his acting teacher pointed to the pedestrians passing by on the street and said, “Among the people passing by just now, there may be six Individuals who play this role are not inferior to you. The most important difference between you and them is that you got this role, they didn't."

　　 Or another more popular example, "Transformers" released in 2007, the real protagonists of this movie are robots, not humans. So Shia-LaBeouf (Shia. LaBeouf) and Megan-Fox (Megan. Fox) can be successfully replaced by others, but the reality is that they got the role and succeeded.

　　 Therefore, chance or luck is the most important link in the entertainment industry. People are more willing to say that luck is also a part of strength. This is the truth. Of course, after the opportunity comes, there is not enough strength, conditions, and sweat to support it, and there are times when the pie in the sky is crushing to death.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn’t help but start to rethink what he thought of last night. Is this crossing a chance and luck that belongs to him? The failure of "Dahe Love" is just a hurdle, and his life after crossing is actually just beginning, the future There are plenty of opportunities, none of which he has encountered before. If he can grasp this opportunity, maybe he can open up his own world and realize his dream; what if he can't? At best, it means going back to the original point. There is nothing to be afraid of, is it?

Hugo opened his hands slightly, letting the breeze slide quickly from his fingertips, the sunlight shards glittering in his palms, Hugo slowly grasped his hands, but did not catch anything, but the palms The scorching heat is so clear, maybe there is invisible sunlight, breeze, and chance!

Victor Hugo (Victor. Hugo) once said, "I would rather rely on my own strength to open up my future, UU reading www.uukanshu.com rather than seeking strong people to favor." Hugo has always believed in this. , Then, since it has started, don't give up. Going to the end of the road and looking at the scenery there, I lived in vain once.

The name "Hugo" is easy to think of this great writer, but the name itself has a deeper meaning. Hugo, originated from ancient Latin, means heart, mind, and soul, and then extended to ancient times. In English and German, "expansion" means wise spirit, wisdom and reputation, with an optimistic personality, and often able to please people around them.

　　 At the beginning, his father named Chen Huguo because of his mother. In addition, he hoped that he would have an optimistic heart and be able to create his own miracles. Thinking of this, the bitterness, depression, and sadness of Hugo's body were broken away bit by bit under the shining of the sun, accompanied by the warm smile on the corner of his mouth, completely disappeared, "Come and shake me, what chance is there to wait for me? To work hard?"

　　 Joseph looked at the smile on Hugo's face that was more brilliant than the sun, and he couldn't help showing a faint smile, and the corner of his mouth was drawn with an open arc. After the accident last night, Hugo is much cuter than before. In the past, Joseph was just doing business and performing his duties. Besides, he didn't want to have too much communication with Hugo. But today, Joseph took the initiative to enlighten Hugo, and he became cheerful because of Hugo's energetic smile.

　　 Joseph realized, maybe, this would be a good start.

　　 "Don't be so lewd. You can easily misunderstand you by laughing." Hugo's words rushed from the side, directly making the smile at the corner of Joseph's mouth freeze.
