Superstar

Chapter 27: Pot of Gold

The great joy suddenly came, and the brain fell into a blank in an instant, and the extreme happiness instantly overwhelmed Hugo, although just now when he was composing the song "Second Chance", Hugo was determined to continue on this path. The confidence of moving forward steadily, but at this moment, the ignorance, anxiety, and anxiety after crossing is still swallowed by this good news, and his heart is filled with the joy of beating cheerfully, and even makes him feel suffocated.

Hugo could not help but clenched his fist tightly, and let out a low growl from the depths of his throat. This was not an explosive shout released from the outside, it was more like a mastiff growling in a charge, and all energy was gestated. In the chest, even if it does not burst out, it still has a power that cannot be underestimated.

   The shaved nails fell into the palm of the palm because of too much force. The veins penetrated the surface of the skin and exposed, and even the bones were trembling slightly. This tiny tingling sensation made Hugo feel so real, but the residual trace of reason made Hugo suppress his joy, and raised his head to look at Joseph, "You mean, I, Hugo Lancaster Especially, got the role of Charlie in'Scent of a Woman'?"

   The oolong scene at the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony not long ago, Hugo has vividly remembered, and he must confirm it again.

Joseph's slightly stiff face, from the eyebrows, the bottom of the eyes to the corners of his mouth, can clearly see the turbulence in his heart. It is not weaker than Hugo at all. He squeezed from his throat, "Yes!" But because of the hoarse voice, it became blurred and unclear. Joseph simply nodded his head in an affirmative answer.

"Yeah!" The energy that Hugo has been reverberating in his chest turned into a low growl, venting the turbulent emotions in his heart. He succeeded, and he took the first step with his own efforts. , Won the opportunity to play against Al Pacino, and also won an opportunity to show himself!

   This is indeed hard-won, leaving aside the influence of Tracy's unspoken rules, it is not so simple for the crew of "Scent of a Woman" to make this decision. You should know that Hugo has already screwed up three films in a row. Although there are many objective reasons, people will always be habitually blamed on the protagonist for the reasons of failure. What's more, all three works of Hugo Nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award, which also shows that Hugo is indeed responsible for the film's failure.

Moreover, the failure of these three films is not only the bad reputation, but also the box office failure, which also makes Hugo's "actor value" plummet, even if there is an excellent "Death Poetry Club", it is difficult to make it. The producer voted for him again.

   Under such circumstances, the crew of "Smelling Scent and Knowing Women" still shoulders tremendous pressure and decides to start Hugo. This courage can be regarded as a gift of knowledge and encounter!

In fact, the "Scent of a Woman" crew is not in a good situation now, and the leading actor Al Pacino is in a far lower situation than he was at his peak, but his acting skills still have enough capital to make Universal Pictures trust. ; At the same time, the script of this work itself is not a type with box office appeal, which makes Universal Pictures very cautious when doing investment filing. Now, with the addition of a Hugo Lancaster, it is foreseeable that the news media will definitely not have too many positive opinions on the prospect of "smelling a woman".

But no matter what, Hugo got the "first" role invitation in his life. Leaving aside all previous experiences, whether the "Hudson Eagle" was bad or the praise of the "Death Poetry Society", "Smell the Fragrance" "Women" will become Hugo's new starting point and start his own actor journey.

   Hugo took two steps excitedly, and then gave Joseph a big hug. Without Joseph's work and efforts, it is estimated that Hugo would not even have the opportunity to audition. Joseph was not only Hugo's agent, but also the first person he met after crossing over, and he was also the first person willing to help himself. Hugo firmly remembered this.

Joseph only felt that Hugo hugged him suddenly, and then smiled heartily and said, "Thank you, thank you very much." This made Joseph a little uncomfortable. In the year when he took over Hugo, Hugo has been Don't trust yourself because he doesn't believe in his own abilities. Hugo is more willing to ask Lang's opinion than himself. The Golden Raspberry Award is the most obvious example.

However, in the recent period, Hugo has not only begun to work hard, but also has obviously increased his trust in himself. Although Joseph will not be grateful, but it is undeniable that this is absolutely good for him to start his own work, and this For a novice broker, it is also a huge affirmation.

However, Joseph is not the kind of person who is accustomed to expressing his emotions. Looking at the smile on his face and letting go of his Hugo, his bright amber eyes are full of joy, which makes him a little uncomfortable and can't help avoiding Hugo's excitement. Looking at it, he coughed slightly, "This is just the beginning, and the next shooting process is the most difficult."

   Hugo nodded vigorously, smiled and said, "I know." There was countless hope and confidence in that smile.

Joseph just woke up from the joy of Hugo’s successful audition, and remembered an important question, “Hugo, the crew just called and said that this movie is because Charlie is only a supporting role, and given your circumstances, so Your salary is only half a million dollars. What do you think?"

   Just now on the phone, the audition director Alan Lewis specifically mentioned this matter, but Joseph was not sure about Hugo's idea, so he did not directly agree, but said that he would call back later. As an agent, Joseph can only give Hugo advice, and the final decision is the actor himself.

   Five hundred thousand dollars? Hugo was stunned when he heard this number. How much RMB is this? Hugo doesn't know how the exchange rate is calculated now, but in 2014, it will be at least 3 million yuan! Starring in a movie has an income of 3 million yuan, which is really amazing. I used to read the news and said that a certain actor starred in a movie cost 10 million yuan, but that was all other people’s business. At this time, the pay belongs to Hugo, which really made Hugo speechless: this makes money. Is the speed too fast?

   Hugo's daze was hesitated in Joseph's eyes, and Joseph secretly cried out in his heart: Is it possible that Hugo is going to be muddled again?

"Hugo, the thing is like this, "Scent of a Woman" is not a high-budget production. Naturally, it cannot be compared with "Hudson's Eagle". Besides, the real protagonist of this movie is Pacino. , His salary must be the majority. As a supporting role, there is no way to lower the salary. I think you should take over this work. This is an opportunity, an opportunity for you to find your direction again. The salary is just Part of the factor, you shouldn’t just focus on this."

   Joseph persuaded with all his heart, this is also the longest thing he has said to Hugo since the Golden Raspberry Award. After Hugo reacted, he immediately realized that Joseph must have misunderstood. really…

   "If you insist on a salary of more than five million dollars, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to find a new work." Joseph continued to persuade, even using such direct words to make Hugo sober.

   Hugo couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that his predecessor had such a high net worth, a movie of more than five million yuan, but he was still complacent because of the half-million dollar salary. He was really a frog in the bottom of the well.

   "Joseph, do I have any reason for rejection?" Hugo interrupted Joseph's following words and said with a smile.

"Of course there are, countless, excellent scripts, Al Pacino, and the appreciation of the crew..." Joseph crackled and counted, but halfway through, he realized that he seemed to have heard it wrong. "You mean, you Want to accept this proposal?" He just heard it as "I have any reason for accepting it", but looking at Hugo's expression, how could he feel that the expression and words are not right.

"Yes, I want to accept this proposal." Hugo nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "I have no reason to refuse, do I?" The crew are willing to take the risk to hire themselves at this juncture. Three picks four, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is to push out the door-to-door opportunity. What's more, for Hugo, the amount of pay is not the most important factor. He does not have the burden of "five million dollars in pay". The opportunity brought by the movie "Scent of Scent and Meet Women" is the most important factor. .

   Joseph looked at the smile on Hugo's face and cast a confirming look again. Hugo couldn't help but smile, nodded vigorously and gave an affirmative answer. Joseph was relieved now, and his mood became more relaxed, "I'll deal with the pay, don't worry." After that, Joseph also felt that he had just made a fuss.

Hugo’s performance has been very good since this time. If Hugo is unwilling, he might have heard that the work "Scent of a Woman" is only a supporting role, so he refused to go to the audition directly; or he saw it publicly. The pomp of the interview was an insult to Hugo, who used to be the protagonist, so those people came to provoke him, but Hugo still participated in the audition and went all out. Thinking of this, Joseph knew that Hugo is indeed different now.

   "After all, there is still 10% of my commission. I have to work hard." Joseph made a small joke, trying to resolve his embarrassment.

   Ten percent? When Hugo heard this ratio, his eyes widened. That was fifty thousand dollars! Joseph’s commission is too high. Although Hugo doesn’t know how the Hollywood brokerage industry works, the percentage is really high. "You don’t seem to have a percentage of the commission. A broker with the tenth ability." Hugo joked directly.

   Joseph directly gave Hugo a roll of eyes, "This is not my ability, but the company's ability."
