Superstar

　　 Hugo's honesty made the conference room fall into silence. Although he chose to tell the truth, his annoyance was already overwhelming. Hugo realized that he was still inexperienced, and in the face of real opportunities, his emotions were dominated by tension, and then he came to this step inexplicably.

This made Hugo feel helpless, knowing that "smelling a woman" is a great opportunity, knowing that he is eager to play against Al Pacino and learn from close range, but the result is still disturbed by tension. Bureau. Only God knows that if this opportunity is missed, when the next opportunity will come, even if Hugo knows what works are the real pie, but if he can't grasp it, then everything is empty talk.

Allen was a little surprised by Hugo’s honesty, especially when he saw the annoyed look on Hugo’s face, he couldn’t help but smile. This is very different from the Hugo seen in the media in the past three years, and the Hugo in front of him is even more so. Like the big boy before the "Death Poetry Society", he was young, sincere, and serious, but full of fighting spirit and desire, and he could clearly feel the vitality in him.

　　Actually, Hugo’s performance just now was very good, not only that, but it can even be said to be excellent, otherwise they would not leave time for Hugo to talk about it, and the director and screenwriter would not speak.

Hugo not only came to participate in a film interview, he also had his own understanding of the script and the role, but at the same time, he would not blindly want to override the script, on the contrary, he knew his own shortcomings. , I also know my own advantages, and can implement them throughout the interview process. Allen can see Hugo's nervousness, but the self-confidence expressed in the nervousness is more like an instinct, which also makes the Hugo in front of him look like a piece of jade waiting to be carved, which is full of expectations. Such a Hugo has already reached a certain agreement with Charlie's character innately.

　　 The content of Hugo’s audition just now, although it was only 30 seconds, but as he said, it fully demonstrated the essence of Charlie's role. The image of honesty, kindness, and freshness is full of the books of the students and makes people shine. This kind of Hugo vaguely made Allen once again see the actor star full of infinite possibilities before the "Death Poetry Club".

　　 Presumably director Martin and screenwriter Bo have also seen this, and this is the first time today that they asked questions. This is a sign of satisfaction with Hugo.

Allen lowered her head and saw Bo on her right hand drew a tick on Hugo's resume. She glanced at Bo and knew that Bo was satisfied with Hugo. Then Allen looked over again, right in front of Martin. There are dense records on that resume. It can be seen that Martin was recording his views on Hugo throughout the audition process. What does this mean? It means that Martin is already thinking about the situation when Hugo appeared on the set.

Sure enough, Martin raised his eyes and met Allen’s eyes, and the smile in his eyes outlined a radian at the corner of his mouth, and then Martin nodded slightly, and clicked on Hugo’s resume, saying, “That’s This is it". Martin believes that both his temperament and attitude, including Hugo’s own sincerity, have successfully moved him. Hugo already has the potential of a good actor. The rest depends on the director and crew in the process of cooperation. The spark burst out.

　　 But Alan still has a little hesitation, that is Hugo's Golden Raspberry Award. Although the Golden Raspberry Award is only an entertainment award and does not have a real authoritative nature, it is undeniable that the Golden Raspberry Award is still a deduction factor for filmmakers, and Hugo does not have many points. After being buckled by the Golden Plum Award, it is estimated that Universal Pictures, the producer of "Smell the Fragrance and Know Women", would be quite criticized.

　　 If this is a commercial movie, the Golden Raspberry Award may still be a factor of hype, but "Scent of a Woman" is not. A trophy for the worst actor is bound to become a hindrance. What's more, Hugo's poor performance in the past three works will also shake the confidence in his acting skills. Who can guarantee that Hugo's brilliant performance today is not a flash of light. After the shooting of "Scent of a Woman" starts, the bad acting skills at the Golden Raspberry Award will return to normal?

　　 Allen drew a circle on Hugo's resume in the position of the "Hudson Eagle", and then placed it between Bo and Martin, motioning for them to see. Sure enough, both Bo and Martin hesitated, and couldn't help but pause.

Seeing the four people in front of them, everyone did not speak, but exchanged their eyes quietly. Hugo could still see the pen in their hands swinging on his resume. Hugo realized that he really really wanted to To seize this opportunity, although Hugo made some mistakes just now because of tension, but at the same time Hugo also knew that he was still brilliant in some places, otherwise Martin and Bo would not take the initiative to speak.

　　 Hugo knows that he cannot give up. Since he has decided to do his best to fight for it, he must use his "full effort". It is not Hugo's style to give up now.

"First... sir, and madam." Hugo spoke again and attracted the attention of four people, including Lily, the representative of the Screen Actors Guild. He took a deep breath again to calm his nervousness and return to the top. Begin to explain the state of Charlie's role, because Hugo knows that this is what he wants and what he wants to do, and he will not give up easily.

"I want to talk about my understanding of the movie "Scent of a Woman". I know it's not my job, but that's why I love this movie and why I want to appear in this movie so much." Hugo didn’t know if his explanation was useful. Anyway, when he participated in supporting role auditions before, he couldn’t have such a chance, but now, he came to Hollywood, he came to 1992, why not try hard to see Woolen cloth? At least, none of the four people in front of him interrupted him. This was a good start.

"I like the movie'Death Poetry Club' very much, because this movie teaches us to have free thoughts, fight for our dreams, and make our lives more meaningful, lest we find ourselves at the end of our lives He had never lived before.” Hugo’s tone was so determined, because he was so eager for today’s opportunity. He would never surrender. He would rather fight until the last minute and fail again, which is far better than paying back. Give up without trying.

"The'scent of a woman' is teaching us to stick to our own principles and not to change our correct beliefs because of the pressure of the world and reality. Otherwise, you will no longer be yourself." Hugo said the speed. Very fast, not only because he eagerly wants to express his inner thoughts, but also because at this moment his brain is occupied by this firm belief. There is no tension, no panic, no hesitation, and some are just unrelenting beliefs. , "The students in these two films are all children in the preparatory school, and there are also scenes in which the school threatens and induces students to do things against their will!"

"In the'Death Poetry Club', the group of children identified teacher Keating (John. Keating) in desperate circumstances; but in the'Scent of a Woman' Charlie insisted on his principle-absolutely no Betray your friends!" Hugo said quickly. When he spoke of excitement, he did not raise his voice, but his light brown eyes shone with crystal light, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed proudly, making People involuntarily entered the rhythm of his speech, "I know that the whole film of'Scent of a Woman' has more and more profound discussions, but from Charlie's point of view, the story he understands is the principle, maybe in the future He also encountered countless difficulties and darkness, because society will always exceed his imagination, but only by adhering to his own principles will he not lose himself in this great world."

"So..." At this point, Hugo finally paused and took another breath, "So I really want to be a part of this movie, no, I want to be Charlie, just like I wanted to be Same as Neil."

　　 Hugo finally finished the long series of words. He panted slightly, not because he was tired, but because of excitement. He blinked his eyes and looked at the four interviewers in front of him. Hugo knows that he has tried his best to fight for, and the rest is left to the other party to make a decision. If it succeeds, he will cheer; if it fails, he has no regrets.

Looking at Hugo in front of him, Martin showed a big smile, but he did not speak to Hugo. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the two partners on his left. "How about you are willing to bear this? The consequences?"

Both Bo and Allen know what Martin means. If they choose Hugo to play the role of Charlie, it means that they must bear the seriousness of the 12th Golden Raspberry Awards. Negative impact. Although it has been a while since the Golden Raspberry Award, once "Scent of a Woman" becomes Hugo's first work after "Hudson's Eagle", it is bound to become a huge target. This risk must be borne by the director, producer, screenwriter, and the entire team of the production company.

　　 This is not easy, it requires courage, a lot of courage.

　　 I have to say that from the moment Hugo entered the door today, he attracted the attention of everyone present and convinced every interviewer's heart in the most direct and sincere way. Bo shrugged and smiled, "As a screenwriter, I vote for it. After all, Universal Pictures hasn't been optimistic about this script since the beginning of its preparation. Even with Al's joining, nothing has changed. Now I add a little more burden. , It's nothing to me."

　　 As the casting director, Allen still has to serve the crew in the end. She naturally has no objections, not to mention that she has already nodded in her heart. So, after getting affirmation from the director, producer and screenwriter, Allen turned his head to look at Hugo, who was anxious before him, smiled and said, "Hugo, your performance today is exceptional. We are very grateful for your visit. , If there is news, we will notify you as soon as possible."

　　 Hugo is still waiting for the following, but Alan has also stood up and walked to the door, obviously the interview is over. What? Is this over? He heard that conversation just now and almost thought he was going to succeed, but now it seems that he is not.

　　 Choose one from three hundred, is it really that difficult to break through?
