Chapter 1137 1137 Fateful Opponent

Brad Pitt, the newly-appointed actor, relied on his excellent performances in "Interview with the Vampire" and "The Burning Years", and he rose to the first-line status in just three months- Of course, this is the so-called "first line" that has no time to settle down, just like the situation after Hugo won countless attention by relying on "smell the fragrance to know women" and "righteous sea heroism".

The media always likes to compare Brad with Tom and Hugo, mainly because there are so many similarities between them, such as close age, such as the same good looks, such as strong audience, such as The trend of the selection of works... which makes every competition between them full of talk.

However, although the media discussed Hugo and Brad together before this, it was the showdown between "Pulp Fiction" and "Interview with the Vampire" that really made this competitive topic explode. Since then, the "Yu Liang complex" between the three actors has kept the audience discussing endlessly.

But for Hugo and Brad, things were a little different. Because of Tracy Jacobs, but not just because of Tracy Jacobs. Before the two people realized it, they had already stood on opposite sides, and then one thing after another, after many unexpected situations appeared, the two people were pushed either actively or passively, step by step. In a completely opposite position, he became a fateful opponent.

Martin Baum, the top agent in Hollywood, can be said to have planned a superstar road for Brad with his own power. This time, whether he chose "Seven Deadly Sins", Still, the Seven Deadly Sins picked him, but it was evident from his proactivity: he knew this was an important opportunity. So, he made a decisive move!

Martin and Brad were talking with David Cronenberg at this time. Cronenberg, this is New Line's most preferred director candidate, but he rejected New Line. So, David still appeared at the private dinner today, for what?

No matter what David's purpose is, Martin's goal is very clear: Obviously, David's willingness to attend tonight's dinner means that he still has a huge influence on New Line Cinema, whether it is the influence of casting, Or the choice of a new director. Dealing well with David will give Martin a head start.

It wasn't just Martin who thought so at this time. In fact, Rick had already had a simple chat with David just now. It can be seen that Rick thinks the same way. However, at this time Rick was talking to screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker. As an unknown screenwriter, Andrew obviously had no influence on the new line, and his opinions could not be accurate, so he was ignored by everyone. But Rick apparently had a different idea.

Brad's line of sight was also projected over, and he made contact with Hugo and Tom in the air. It was not easy for him to ignore these two people, because almost everyone in the hall would pay more or less attention to Hugo. Meet Tom - no one in the recently buzzed "Mission: Impossible" casting circle knows what it will be like when Hugo and Tom meet.

It is estimated that there is no need to wait until tomorrow, news will begin to circulate in the circle tonight that Hugo and Tom are having a good conversation without any barriers.

However, Brad didn't show much expression. He just glanced at Hugo with the corner of his eyes, and then nodded his chin slightly at Tom, and directly looked away. But just such an action can clearly feel Brad's high fighting spirit and strong self-confidence in his body, the provocation emanating from the depths of his soul can hardly be concealed. Obviously, this time, he is eager to be able to Win the showdown with Hugo! Or even further, this time, he has absolute confidence in defeating Hugo!

After witnessing Tracy's failure firsthand, Brad's emotions were mixed, and he couldn't tell if it was sadness, fear, anger, sympathy, disdain, rejection or what, and he didn't even know how to define Tracy and his relationship, but he is very clear: he and Hugo are not friends, nor can they be friends, they are opponents, enemies, enemies! He wants to beat Hugo, he must beat Hugo!

After "farewell to the sentient beings", he has been dormant for almost a year, and has been concentrating on his work. The hardships, bitterness and pain of this year are only understood by himself, and only he has endured. Because after experiencing Tracy's lesson, Brad clearly knows that in the face of absolute strength, all means are useless. In Hollywood, the so-called absolute strength is the success or failure of the work. Even Jews who are rich and rival countries cannot resist the law of interests. This is the essential rule.

Now, he finally has the ability to compete with Hugo, so he will not back down, he will prove himself, he will succeed, and he will use his strength to fight Hugo head-on! The "Seven Deadly Sins", this is the first start.

Brad glanced contemptuously at Hugo and swept over Tom covertly.

Maybe not now, but one day, the media's attention to the "Mission: Impossible" casting process will appear on him, and the media will be surprised to sigh that Hugo is competing with him for a role, or Tom is playing with him. The duel of a character, the overwhelming news is all about him. At that time, not only the casting, but also the situation of being suppressed by "Pulp Fiction" during the release of "Interview with the Vampire" and "The Burning Years", he will return the money to Hugo with profit, so that Hugo can taste the experience of being beaten. The taste of people's cynicism. Not now, but it will come!

"I was selected...and..." Tom's words paused, he and Hugo both saw Brad, and Martin, and nodded to each other to say hello. When Hugo turned his head again, Tom said this. Then he said, "Of course, you're one of them. That's why you're here." Tom chuckled.

Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not speak. The look in Brad's eyes just now made him feel very playful. In fact, he and Brad don't have any personal grudges, but the two people's popularity is not right, since the first meeting during the audition for "Big River Love". It's like someone who met for the first time hit it off and was destined to be friends; Hugo and Brad seemed to have the smell of gunpowder when they first met. means competition.

Hugo suddenly remembered that he and Brad once sat together for a meal for the audition for "The Righteous Sea", which seemed to be the only time in his memory that the two of them sat at the same table. And this time, the two of them appeared in the same space again, but for the audition for "Seven Deadly Sins". This is really interesting.

"It seems that he regards you as his biggest competitor." Of course Tom had heard the rumors in the circle, but he didn't mention it. This is a friendship as a friend, and it is also a "good friend" and "best friend". "There's a fine line between that, Tom has always been very good at it.

Hugo pouted, "Competition will always exist, isn't it?" The implication is that Hugo will not regard Brad as a specific opponent, in addition to Brad, there are other actors competing tonight, Hugo is not so arrogant, thinking that the final choice must be between him and Brad. Of course, Hugo had a clear idea of ​​what the historical trajectory was like.

Tom nodded with a smile, then raised the champagne in his hand, "I hope you can win." Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him, Tom showed a smug smile, "In this way, your schedule will be If it's not easy to arrange, then my victory will be more secure." The topic went back to "Mission Impossible".

Hugo laughed dumbly, "I thought you were expecting a positive outcome."

"Of course." Tom shrugged, "but I don't mind some outside help, after all, we're all in Hollywood, don't we?"

Out of the corner of Hugo's line of sight, he saw a figure hiding in the corner. He hesitated and apologized to Tom, "I saw a friend I wanted to meet, and I went over to say hello."

"Please." Tom stepped aside, "I think I should go and say hello to Cronenberg. Since I'm here, at least politeness must be done." This made Hugo chuckle again.

Hugo watched Tom walk towards David Cronenberg, and sure enough he saw Brad's nervousness, but Martin showed a warm smile. It can be seen from this detail that Brad is still not sophisticated enough, but he is much more mature than before.

People do, of course, grow.

Hugo retracted his gaze, walked towards the corner of the hall, and said with a smile, "Good evening, are you David Finch?" Hugo's tone was indeed full of doubts, because he was face blind. Again, he wasn't quite sure that the middle-aged man with a clean face and no stubble was David Fincher, which was far from his impression of a stubborn beard.

The person in front of him did not answer immediately. His eyes fell into the distance. Hugo followed his line of sight and turned his head to look over. It was Brad Pitt. Hugo couldn't help but sigh, he remembered that David Fincher and Brad had a very good relationship - in the future, the two have collaborated on many works, from "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club" to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" ".

But when Hugo was thinking about how to speak, he noticed a sudden change in the expression of the man who looked like David Fincher. Hugo looked back carefully, only to realize that the man was not looking at Bra Germany, but was looking at a woman curling up from the side: Gwyneth Paltrow.

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, and he felt that things seemed to start to get interesting, especially when he knew where things were going in the future.
