1136 1136 Gentleman Magnanimous

Hugo didn't expect to meet Tom Cruise here, never heard of Tom's name during the audition for "The Seven Deadly Sins" - otherwise the latest news wouldn't have been ignored, and there must have been It is revealed that in addition to "Mission Impossible", Hugo and Tom are still competing for the starring position of another work.

"Hey, Tom!" Hugo didn't hesitate, and naturally asked the doubts in his heart, "How did you appear here? This is an accident. Are you also here for this movie?" This is Hugo He is always accustomed to treating people with sincerity. Although he has learned to be imaginary and condescending after experiencing countless storms, he still hopes to maintain his sincerity in the face of friends.

Hearing Hugo's undisguised expression of surprise, Tom couldn't help being stunned. He had imagined the situation when he met Hugo, and he was also worried that the friendship with Hugo would disappear - after all, this is Hollywood, there is no People choose to make friends in Hollywood because it's so hard. But Tom did not expect Hugo to be so direct, and expressed his surprise without any cover.

Tom's thoughts went round in his mind, and he laughed quickly, "Yes, but no." Tom looked around, "They did send me an invitation, but I wasn't very interested, and then I heard that You are also one of the candidates for the male lead, so I showed up. I think we have some misunderstandings that need to be explained."

In the face of Hugo's sincerity, Tom also chose to be honest. It is easy to meet new friends in Hollywood, Vanity Fair, but it is difficult to maintain friendship. Many Hollywood buddies and good girlfriends met and continued before entering the circle. of. Tom has always thought that Hugo is a friend worth making, but with the outbreak of this hype, the two friends have to face all the problems that Hollywood friendship must face: how to solve the current interests?

Hugo didn't want to wear a mask, and Tom didn't want to be a villain, so the two of them had a face-to-face meeting, and unabashedly mentioned the hot news during this time.

If it was someone else, it is estimated that they would be polite to each other, and then said with a smile that those media were talking nonsense, and then complimented each other, even if it was exposed. But there is no truth to this kind of communication scene - everyone including the parties knows this, and the parties themselves know whether the knot is really unraveled: maybe they turn around and start cursing each other, and their friendship is also That's it. Because deep down in their hearts, interests are the eternal core of Hollywood, rather than friendship.

Seeing Tom's undisguised sincerity, Hugo couldn't help but relax a little. To be honest, in the face of this malicious hype, when facing Tom again, Hugo would inevitably feel a little awkward, not because of the negative remarks in the media-because he knew that those were all non-existent things, but because the media put the two people together. The hype of their competitive relationship is too tight, two people are now competing for the same role, friends become rivals, it is inevitable to feel strange when facing each other.

"Misunderstanding?" Hugo's mouth twitched slightly, and his smile was outlined, "I don't remember any misunderstanding, don't tell me, you believe all the words in the media are true, if so, I must apologize. ."

Tom was amused by Hugo and shook his head again and again, "No, that's not what I meant. The words of those reporters are ****, only a fool would believe it." Although Tom didn't get along with Hugo for a long time, he also knew that It was impossible for Hugo to say those words, so he never doubted that, "I mean, I have to admit, behind the news event this time, I also deliberately incited some things, and things got out of control, I didn't expect it either."

Tom did not explicitly say that in order to win the role of "Mission Impossible", his agent was actually fanning the flames. Unlike Hugo, Tom knows the rules of the industry well, and he knows how to use them to his advantage. The news this time was driven by Tom and Paramount, and it got out of hand.

Hugo did not expect such an outcome. Of course, he had guessed that Paramount was behind it, and he had guessed that Tom was also contributing, but he didn't expect Tom to admit it in front of him, which made Hugo a little overwhelmed.

"Uh... what should I say?" Hugo smiled awkwardly, "I must say I don't like this situation, those crows are always annoying." Hugo honestly told his inner thoughts Come out, "But...but, I didn't stop it, didn't I?" When the hype first emerged, although Hugo didn't cooperate, he did not stop it - although there were objective reasons, it was the truth. Therefore, when things have developed to the point where they are now, Hugo can't be alone.

"You don't have to say more." Tom shook his head and said sincerely, "I express my apologies to you, and you are willing to nod and accept, that's enough."

"It's a huge problem." Hugo picked up Joe with an embarrassed look, which made Tom laugh. "But I think I'm willing to accept it. I still remember Nicole's invitation."

Hugo is talking about the party invitation that Tom mentioned in the interview, and he is using this method to resolve each other's embarrassment, even if this incident is exposed. Tom didn't react at first, but after taking a closer look at Hugo's smile, he couldn't help laughing and nodded, "Of course, of course, Nicole is also looking forward to your visit."

It must be admitted that Tom's frankness and Hugo's directness have made the embarrassment that might have arisen between the two vanished. Although the media hype has become more and more unbearable recently, the two of them are also directly facing the frontal conflict of interests - "Dish There is obviously only one position for the hero of "The Impossible", but the duel can also become a healthy competition, and the focus is on the handling of the parties.

"So, are you very satisfied with this script?" Hugo could feel Tom's enthusiasm, and he had an inevitable strength for the script of "Mission Impossible". In this regard, Hugo is not as good as Tom, because Hugo has too many choices, and he has no way to give up, which is naturally inferior to Tom's desperate aura.

If it was to give up the four scripts that were selected before, which would make Hugo break out this desperate script, which one would it be? Which script did Hugo desire the most?

Tom's eyes widened, and he pointed to the ground with a puzzled face, "This script?"

This made Hugo stunned, and then he realized that they were at the "Seven Deadly Sins" small party, and his question just now did not specify the target, so it was naturally a joke. Immediately, Hugo and Tom laughed heartily.

After laughing, Tom nodded earnestly, "Yes, I'm very interested in that script, I've always wanted to try this kind of work, so it's rare to meet such an exciting character, it's hard for me to look away. Open. Unfortunately, it encountered a strong competitor."

This made Hugo a little embarrassed. In the face of Tom's single-mindedness, Hugo's half-heartedness is not enough sincerity. Hugo suddenly realized that perhaps the reason why "Mission Impossible" could become a masterpiece in the later period of Tom's career is because Tom poured more emotion into the role of Ethan Hunt.

In the face of Tom's firmness, Hugo's originally hesitant heart was firmed up. In the face of such an opponent, the best praise is not to give in to the other side, but to go all out to decide the outcome. In the end, no matter what the result is, right. The best respect for each other. If Hugo voluntarily gave in or perfunctory, it would be an insult to Tom, and Tom's insistence would become a joke.

So, Hugo smiled and nodded, "Then you have to do your best. My situation has been pretty good recently." It was rare for Hugo to show off, but Tom couldn't help laughing.

"Don't be too complacent, the one who has the last laugh is the winner." Tom also seemed confident. He had such confidence. Compared with Hugo, his ten-year connections were much stronger. Although Hugo hit the big screen in 1982, most of his connections have only been established in the last three years.

There was a little spark between the eyes of the two people. The casting of "Mission Impossible" was originally just a media hype, but now Tom and Hugo are actually fighting, which makes the situation interesting.

"Do you know who the original first candidate for this work is?" Tom said casually after the business was settled smoothly today.

Hugo noticed that Rick, Carl, and Charlize entered the house, but they also had their own social circles, so Hugo did not greet him, but looked at Tom, "This work?" He pointed to On the ground, indicating the "Seven Deadly Sins". Tom nodded and took a sip of champagne, and Hugo said suspiciously, "Isn't it you?"

This is what Tom himself said just now. The "Seven Deadly Sins" crew sent him an invitation, but he refused.

But Tom shook his head. "No, I'm just an additional choice for them," Tom said with a smile. "Their first choice was Denzel Washington, and then they wanted Al Pacino to play."

Hugo's expression at this time is very funny, because he thinks it is too weird. The male protagonist of "Seven Deadly Sins" initially chose a black man, but Morgan Freeman's old black policeman chose a white man? And the male protagonist of "Men in Black" initially chose a white man, so what about the classic black and white match?

Tom's eyes drifted behind Hugo and whispered, "But Denzel rejected them, he thought the script was too bad, and there was no room for it. Then they chose me as the target of the male lead... And..." Tom didn't go on.

Hugo noticed Tom's pause, and then noticed the abnormality of Tom's sight. He turned his head to look at Tom's sight, and then saw Brad Pitt with a calm smile accompanied by Martin Baum.
