Superstar

Looking at the palm trees outside the window and the old record store retreating, the colorful billboards are shining in the sun, and the promotional posters of the "Wayne's. World" movie make the Hollywood image of the 1990s vivid. The ground appears in the line of sight, and the houses on Sunset Strip (Sunset. Strip) that are dyed golden by the morning sun form a beautiful picture in the line of sight. This boulevard extending from the city center to Hollywood is used The simplest way to tell Hugo: This is Los Angeles, a city that has attracted the attention of the whole world because of movies and music.

Hugo took a deep breath, reluctantly retracted his gaze from the beautiful scenery, and fell back on the script between his knees. He didn't have enough energy to read the script last night, and he remembered There is no fragment about the script, so he had to finish the work within the limited time. Otherwise, today's audition interview is probably going to be broken.

　　 The movie "Dahe Lian" Hugo has never seen it before, just heard of its title. After Hugo decided to become an actor, he did not have enough funds to receive professional acting training, so he chose to watch classic movies to learn acting skills. Before crossing, Hugo had seen nearly a thousand movies. For the role of an actor It can be regarded as some of my own experience.

In fact, Hugo once wanted to watch "Lover on the River", but later watched "Legends. Of. The. Fall" with similar themes and a better intention. Both films are poetic and picturesque. Nostalgic works of, and Brad Pitt (Brad. Pitt) has appeared in both movies, dedicating wonderful performances. It can be said that Brad Pitt made a breakthrough in his career relying on these two films.

　　 "Lover on the River" tells the story of the Revrent McCallian family, a priest by the Troit River in Montana before a war. The whole story is calm, there are not too many ups and downs, more like a river flowing quietly, naturally and smoothly, integrating family love, love and friendship into the beautiful nature and quietly permeating every picture. Like a flowing oil painting, it is also like a moving lyrical prose, so beautiful that it breaks the heart.

　　 There are two main male characters in the story. They are the two children of McCullian's family, the eldest son Norman and the younger son Paul. Joseph told Hugo yesterday that he was auditioning for the role of the first actor, Paul. Paul is the youngest son in the family. He is free, unruly, unrestrained, and living arbitrarily. It is like an epiphany with infinite power that blooms in a short period of time to the most beautiful appearance, and then quickly withers.

Hugo can understand why Joseph found the role of Paul for himself, or the role of Paul found him. Hugo's appearance has such a free and easy temperament, although it is not completely suitable for the role. , But the melancholic classical temperament between the eyebrows can indeed add a lot of points. Therefore, Hugo's role as Paul can barely be regarded as a true performance.

　　 After the fiasco of the "Hudson Eagle", it is definitely a safe calculation to play such a role. In addition, although the investment of "Dahe Lian" is less than 10 million yuan, it is an absolute small-cost independent production, but the reputation of director Robert Redford is enough to make people rush.

As an actor, Robert Redford has starred in "Out of Africa (Out. Of. Africa, "The. Sting" and "Butch. Cassidy. And. The. Sundance. Kid." and other works; as a director, his debut "Ordinary. People" won him the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture; and he also founded the most influential independent film exhibition in the world. Sundance Film Festival (Sundance. Institute, can definitely be said to be the most influential and top presence in Hollywood.

　　 "Dahe Love" is Robert Rayford's third director's work after "Ordinary People" and "The Battle of Beanfield (The. Milagro. Beanfield. War. There are definitely a lot of actors who want to play. Joseph won the audition for Hugo, and he is still in the role of Paul, which shows that he should be an excellent agent.

　　 But from Hugo's point of view, playing Paul is not necessarily a true performance, because his unruly and chic temperament is actually not obvious, and after the body and soul have changed, this temperament has changed even more. Therefore, in order to win the role of Paul, Hugo must come up with truly excellent strength, and for this, Hugo does not have absolute confidence.

　　 After all, even though Hugo had experience in acting before the crossing, he was always just a hero and supporting role, and all acting skills were just on paper. Now, after raising soldiers for a thousand days, Hugo knows deeply that the opportunity is already in sight, and whether he can seize it depends on his own efforts. Therefore, Hugo was reading the script very seriously and conceiving in his mind how he should perform this role. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Joseph drove the car at a constant speed, bumping all the way towards the Four Seasons Hotel (Four. Seasons) located at the intersection of Wilshire Avenue and Rodeo Drive, watching Hugo sitting in the passenger seat carefully reading the script, he was somewhat Surprised.

　　 Joseph took over the job of Hugo's agent from Ron Meyer last year. Since Joseph is still a novice, everything is still just getting started, so he has very limited control over Hugo's situation. Joseph did not think that Hugo was necessary to attend the Golden Raspberry Award, but Hugo asked Lang for his opinions, and finally listened to Lang’s opinions. In the past less than a year, Joseph has seen all kinds of ugliness of Hugo, which is exactly the male version of Drew Barrymore (Drew. Barrymore).

Drew Barrymore, who was born in the Barrymore family of Hollywood's famous performing arts family, starred in "Alien E.T (E.T, "Firestarter", and "Irreconcilable. Differences" after his career reached At the peak, the rapid rise to fame made the nine-year-old Drew Barrymore completely lost in himself, drinking, smoking, and big. The hemp can come again. Card. Because of, alcoholism, and nightlife, they fell directly into the bottom.

The same is true for Hugo Lancaster. In 1989, the role of Neil Perry, a student in the film "Dead. Poets. Society", which was nominated for four major Oscars, came to prominence. The attention of film makers, and then the career reached a small peak, first with Anthony Hopkins (Anthony. Hopkins), Mimi Rogers (Mimi. Rogers) starred in Michael Cimino (Michael. Cimino). Produced "Desperate Hours (Desperate. Hours; followed by starring in the 40 million investment film "The Adventures. Of. Ford. Fairlane", thus becoming the most watched actor in Hollywood in one fell swoop Lines, lights, flowers, and praise rushed towards you.

However, it is a pity that "Deadly Moment" failed miserably in both box office and word of mouth. This work won Hugo the first nomination for the worst actor of the Golden Plum; "Detective Raiders" also did not have any bright spots, the first Golden Plum was the best. The bad supporting actor nomination came from here, which made Hugo's career as an actor plummeted to the bottom.

　　 After Joseph took over the job of Hugo's agent, he saw Hugo immersed in alcohol and drugs all day long. In the world of taste, even a serious car accident after alcoholism did not make Hugo sober. The subsequent "Hudson Eagle" shows that Hollywood producers still have hope for Hugo, but unfortunately this work still failed.

　　 However, after experiencing the struggle on the edge of life and death last night, Hugo seems to have undergone a completely reborn change. Joseph couldn't tell the specific reason, but he could feel that Hugo was different. Just as Hugo is reading the script at this moment, Hugo must have read the script before, but today Joseph can feel Hugo's serious investment at this moment. This kind of focus has never been seen before; and It was... Hugo's impetuous temperament seemed to be settling down, and the sensuality of the dog and horse gradually dissipated in those eyes.

　　 Is this a good thing? Joseph is a little uncertain. He has not had many fond memories of being Hugo's agent for nearly a year, but he is now a fledgling rookie agent and he has to practice a little bit. Lang Mayer is willing to hand Hugo to Joseph's hands, just in the name of "cultivating newcomers"-it is estimated that Lang is not optimistic about the prospects of Hugo is the root cause. In any case, Joseph still hopes that Hugo's work will improve.

　　 But, I remembered the headline of the Los Angeles Times (Los. Angeles. Times) this morning, "Weeping to receive the Golden Raspberry Award,'Thank you, dream come true'-Hugo Lancaster". UU reading www.uukanshu.com Joseph couldn't help but sigh, smashed three movies one after another, and had such a big embarrassment at the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony. Now Hugo's situation can't be worse.

　　 "Here, get off." In thinking, he has reached his destination, and Joseph wakes up Hugo who is reading the script. Hugo turned his head and saw that the retro signboard of Four Seasons Hotel was outlined by the sun with a shallow Phnom Penh, beautiful and dazzling.

The parking boy at the door of the hotel quickly ran over and opened the door for Hugo. Hugo left the passenger seat, and stood on tiptoe nervously at the door of the hotel, watching the people coming and going, unable to move. At your own pace. Only twelve hours have passed since the accident happened yesterday, and Hugo still has no way to fully adapt to his new identity.

At this moment, there was a figure walking in his direction. Hugo thought it was Joseph for the first time, but turned around and saw a strange and familiar figure with short golden hair, **** facial features and a brilliant smile. , This is Brad Pitt.

The characters that were only seen on the big screen of the movie before suddenly appeared in front of him. This was the first time Hugo saw "real characters" appear after he woke up. He didn't react for a while, so he had to distinguish between them. The dream or reality becomes more and more difficult.

Brad smiled brightly at Hugo. Hugo thought the other person was behaving in a friendly manner. He was about to respond with a smile, but he heard Brad's immediate words saying, "Dreams come true." !" Then Brad gave Hugo a thumbs up and walked quickly up the steps of the Four Seasons Hotel with a smile on his face.

　　This, is this a provocation or a joke?
