Chapter 125: 125
Hugo recalled the film "Sugar-Coated Trap" carefully, but his memory was blank. He couldn't recall any information about the film, and he didn't even know who the protagonist was. Although there were director Sidney and screenwriter Robert as clues, Hugo found that there was still no idea in his head, but he remembered several works in which Sidney was the producer in the later period, "Cold Mountain (Cold. Mountain)", "" Michael. Clayton" and "The Reader".
But what is the script of the film "Sugar-Coated Trap" and what is the result? Hugo still has no thoughts. Maybe after reading the script, he will wake up a little memory.
"Are you worried about Brad?" Joseph looked at Hugo's contemplative appearance, thought for a long time, and finally provoked this topic.
Hugo paused for a while, then laughed dumbly, "No, I'm not worried about him."
It may seem very coincidental, but in fact, this is the current situation of the film industry. There are only so many actors over the age of 20 and under 30, and Hugo and Brad have similar temperaments. Actors with unique characteristics are the first to emerge, and producers can easily put them together on audition lists when making choices. This is also the third time the two have to face the competition after "Love in the Big River" and "The Hero of the Righteous Sea". I don't know if it is fate or a nightmare for the two. Hugo and Brad each won one game the first two times, and I don't know what the outcome will be this time.
"Then why are your brows tangled together?" A few months ago, Joseph's questioning would not have been so direct, but now the two have clearly found a balance to get along with, and Joseph is also willing to ask about Hugo's personal situation. It's good for both of them to work together, "Or are you worried about Tracy?" This was the second answer in Joseph's mind.
Hugo was reminded by Joseph, and the memory just now was awakened again. He briefly talked about the meeting between Tracy and Lang just now, and Joseph's brows couldn't help frowning. This is indeed a tricky situation. Because no one behind this black hand knows what is going on.
"What did you say Tracy said about Ron?" Joseph tried to search for some clues.
"Lang told her that the premiere of 'Yihai Xiongfeng' has been set, and I hope everything goes well this time." Hugo recalled the scene of the conversation just now, trying to restore the situation of the conversation.
"Both of these sentences were said by Lang, or does the latter sentence come from Tracy." Joseph found that there seemed to be a problem with this sentence, and couldn't help but ask.
Hugo bit his lower lip and thought about it for a while, "'I', Tracy said 'I hope everything goes well this time'." That means that the latter half of the sentence is a hint from Tracy, which is also Hugo always felt that there was a strange reason after listening to it.
It's very possible that Lang had some surprise waiting for Hugo at the premiere, so Tracy gave a hint; or something that Lang was working on behind the scenes. But why? Why did Lang do this, and why did Tracy take the initiative to warn again? Lang, Tracy, and Hugo are not friendly alliances, and is Tracy's words trustworthy?
Joseph also felt a bit of a headache. He thought about it carefully, and finally asked tentatively, "Hugo, do you think it has something to do with the crew of 'Yihai Xiongfeng'?"
Because Tracy specifically mentioned the premiere of the movie, but the problem is that the premiere is a public occasion. Except for the reporter to make things difficult, there are very few behind-the-scenes actors who can promote it-Hugo is an actor, no Like actresses can play around with costumes — even if the premiere had an accident, Columbia Pictures wouldn't want that to happen. Well, it's not about the premiere, it's about the movie itself. Joseph made the most reasonable inferences.
"...You mean Alger?" Hugo hadn't reacted at the first time. After all, it's been a long time since that incident, and there have been no further turbulence in the follow-up, and "Yihai Xiongfeng" has been successfully completed. If Joseph didn't mention it, he forgot about it at all.
"You know, when Allejie left, it implied that someone was behind him." The more Joseph thought about it, the more likely it was, "I guessed Tom, Brad or Martin, and even guessed. Tracy, but now it seems that Lang is the most likely."
"We can't believe what Tracy said, maybe she was behind the scenes, and now it's on Lang." Hugo was reluctant to jump to conclusions, but speculated on other possibilities, "Besides, if it really is Lang, why, does he have any reason?"
"Because you attended the premiere of 'The Final Analysis', you snatched the front page that should belong to 'Ben. Neng', and gave Lang an embarrassment. Seeing that you have received invitations for two works in succession, for him The act of giving up on you before is a powerful counterattack, which is not what he wants to see." Joseph expressed his point of view, "so he feels that he will teach you a lesson. In the 'Yihai Xiongfeng' crew, a harmless lesson , I can teach you a lesson without any accidents."
Indeed, Alleje's change of cold water was actually just a pain for Hugo, and there were no more serious consequences.
"The most important thing is that I learned that Allejie's previous job was the production of 'Reversal. Of. Fortune'." Joseph naturally did not sit still after that incident, and went to search for some information , although the harvest is not much, but now it is all connected, "Jeremy - Irons (Jeremy. Irons) is an actor under the Lang."
"Reversal of Fate" was nominated for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay at the 63rd Academy Awards, and won both the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar for the actor Jeremy. unpopular.
Jeremy is a great actor, and what Hugo impressed most with him was not "Reversal of Fate" but the classic 1981 miniseries "Brideshead. Revisited", and "The French Lieutenant's Woman (The. French. Lieutenant's. Woman)" with Meryl Streep in 1981.
Unexpectedly, Jeremy is an actor under Lang, which shows that Lang's vision is old-fashioned. He used to create a career path for Hugo's actors. The old actor of the year, finally shined in "Reversal of Fate", when he defeated "Awakenings" Robert De Niro, "Dances. With. Wolves" Kevin- Costner, "Cyrano. De. Bergerac" Gerard. Depardieu, "The. Field" Richard Harris, and finally an Oscar The actor's little golden man can definitely be called a sword that has been sharpened in ten years. Hugo followed this line in training, and after six years of polishing, Hugo still failed, and it is not surprising that he was abandoned by Lang.
"But, even if it is Lang, what can we do? Don't say that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence..." Hugo is telling the truth, Allejie's actions are actually part of the unspoken rules in the circle , Rob Reiner was able to fire Alleje on the spot, he had already given Hugo an explanation, and there would be no result if he pursued it later.
Joseph took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "No, at least we know the existence of the enemy, and I hope we won't continue to be passive."
The former agent is now standing in the back and stabbing a knife. This kind of thing is hard to accept, but Hugo is okay. He doesn't have that kind of dependence and trust in Lang, so although his heart is cold, he does not experience the anger and grief of betrayal.
Hugo was more concerned about why Tracy reminded him, and what was her purpose? Is it just to see Hugo and Lang fight? It's definitely not that simple; if Tracy is showing goodwill to Hugo, there is no sign of the conversation.
Tracy, this is a bigger puzzle than Lang.
Joseph looked at Hugo with some worry, but unexpectedly, although Hugo's expression was a little stiff, he didn't have much emotional ups and downs, which was different from what he expected. But thinking about it carefully, Hugo has almost stopped mentioning Lang for the past six months. It seems that he really gave up on Lang, so the current reaction is not surprising.
After being silent for a while, Hugo took the initiative to change the subject, "After I go back, I'll go buy the original novel and read it again." Guo knows that acting is not that simple. Even if he has an object to imitate in his mind, if he can't evolve imitation into his own, then his acting skills will never be able to break through, so he must work hard.
Although it is just an audition now, serious preparations in the early stage are also necessary. No matter whether the audition is successful in the future, this is also one of the links in the training of acting skills.
Hearing Hugo's combative tone, Joseph also relaxed a little, "I'll get in touch with Sidney in the next two days to see how the audition is going." According to Rick, the audition has just begun. Planning, that is to say, the crew was formed, so there is no need to worry about everything.
"You didn't forget this Thursday, did you?" Joseph said in a relaxed tone in order to liven up the atmosphere, "How about it, are you planning to spend time in Los Angeles or go back to Cheyenne?"
Hugo froze in place like this, and did not respond to Joseph's words. Just when Joseph almost thought Hugo was asleep, he made a hesitant "uh" sound, "Thanksgiving is coming?" Hugo wrinkled He asked in a suspicious tone with a frown.
"Of course!" Joseph looked at Hugo in surprise. Because of the magnitude, the steering wheel was almost unsteady, and he broke out in a cold sweat, "Hugo, don't tell me, you haven't given the Mr Lancaster is calling!"
Hugo could only grin and say nothing, then pointed to the intersection ahead, "Hey, the light is green."
"I'm not colorblind." Joseph rolled his eyes and replied helplessly. This diversionary trick is too clumsy.
