Chapter 1290 1290 Warm Invitation

Standing in front of Hugo is Jennifer Aniston. The actress who has made a name for herself on "Friends" is no longer an unknown actor. After it was broadcast in September last year, "Friends" quickly became a national phenomenon. One of the most popular comedies, along with "Seinfeld" and "Happy Family" propped up a sky of American sitcoms.

Hugo vaguely remembered that he seemed to have met Jennifer before, but he didn't have any impression of the specific situation. Fortunately, Hugo knew this face, otherwise the situation just now would be embarrassing.

Seeing Jennifer's stunned expression, Cameron chuckled lightly, looking at Hugo and teasing, "It seems that your bad memory for strangers' names is already well-known, and you suddenly remember Jennifer's name, She was totally terrified."

Only then did Jennifer react. She looked at her hands that had marinated the chicken wings just now, and made sure to wash her hands. Then she quickly grabbed Hugo's right hand and smiled crampedly, "Yes...the first time we met was just... ...you know, it's just a hello, I didn't expect you to remember. Sorry, I'm a little rude."

"Maybe it's because you're a beautiful woman." Cameron's joke made Jennifer chuckle. Hugo glanced at Cameron helplessly. Obviously, Cameron was really excited today. Feel it in every way.

"So, how did you know each other?" Hugo changed the subject and looked at the two people in surprise. Jennifer is still rolling around in the TV circle. The success of the first season of "Friends" has made her truly appear in the media lens; while Cameron moved from the modeling circle to the film circle, and she has no connection with TV. .

Cameron and Jennifer looked at each other, "Oh!" They seemed to have a tacit understanding, and seemed to say, "It's up to you to tell me." Finally, Cameron, who was in a state of excitement today, said, "Remember me Did Rick set up an audition after coming back from Baton Rouge? That was the audition that Jennifer and I met, and coincidentally, both of us made the final cast, and if nothing else, we'd be Working together on this project.”

Hugo suddenly realized that it was Jennifer who started to enter the big screen.

For actors, the big screen is the ultimate goal. Whether it is a stage play or a TV series, including comedians from variety shows, they all hope to one day stand on the red carpet of the movie premiere. Even if TV is successful, its influence, attention, development prospects and other aspects cannot be compared with movies.

Jennifer is no exception. In the post "Friends" era, although Jennifer's acting roles have always been limited to comedy genres, and compared to "Friends" Rachel did not have a huge breakthrough, but she still broke out of her own world. , is also the one with the most successful follow-up career among the six leading actors in "Friends". But in fact, after the initial success of "Friends", Jennifer, who has an eye-catching appearance, lovable characters and solid connections, has already begun to set foot in the film circle.

The work that Cameron mentioned was called "Love is the Only One". Hugo had an impression of this work for a long time. After he rejected the "Far from the Casino" project, 20th Century Fox put this work at the time. The project was put on the table, and the original cast included Cameron Diaz, Alexander Lorraine, Sandra Bullock, Charlize Theron, Leonardo DiCaprio and more names.

"Love is the only one" can be said to be a part of Twentieth Century Fox's huge plan. Several projects they are planning at the same time are closely related to Endeavour Elite Agency, and are also closely related to Hugo. At that time, Hugo and Rick believed that 20th Century Fox should have a bigger plan, but they were the one who took the initiative.

Now it seems that "Love is the Only" really chose Cameron to play, but I don't know when the real killer move will appear in this game of 20th Century Fox.

As for Jennifer's selection, it must be 20th Century Fox's own consideration, and it has nothing to do with Hugo.

The work "Love is the Only" is actually a very high-profile independent work. It is written, directed and acted by the handsome actor Edward Burns. Edward is also a famous all-rounder. This year The "McMullan Brothers", which participated with "Before Sunrise" at the Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize, is his debut feature.

"Love Is Only" is Edward's second work after "The McMullan Brothers", and it was favored by 20th Century Fox at the script stage only, and 20th Century Fox was in charge of "The McMullan Brothers" before that. He had a good cooperation with Edward, and this time he went a step further and directly obtained the investment and production rights of the work, and persuaded Robert Redford to serve as the executive producer.

Abandoning "away from the casino" and choosing "love is the only one" can actually be seen as a coordination within Twentieth Century Fox.

"Wow, that must be congratulations. Edward's 'McMullen Brothers' I saw at Sundance before, he's a very thoughtful director, and this collaboration is bound to be fun." Hugo watched Cameron tapped his chin lightly in affirmation, then looked at Jennifer again, showing a smile of encouragement.

In fact, Hugo has never seen "Love is the Only" and doesn't remember having this work, but Cameron and Jennifer are willing to choose such a small investment independent work to polish themselves. This choice itself is worthy of affirmation.

Jennifer was obviously in high spirits today. She didn't expect the encounter at the bar at all. Hugo actually remembered and even accurately said his name, which made her want to scream.

Although now she has made a breakthrough by relying on "Friends", although she is only two years younger than Hugo, but I have to say that a top superstar with strength and temperament like Hugo is really charming. It was hard to resist, just a smile made her heart beat a little irregularly.

"Of course, I hope so...I mean, we all want to learn something along the way." Jennifer pointed her finger back and forth between Cameron and herself, "But this time it's also a romantic comedy. , I'm not sure if I can learn something different." At this point, Jennifer stroked her hair uneasily with her right hand, and then explained, "You know, I'm acting on a sitcom right now, and I can basically It's a comedy of life that includes love."

"Yes, yes." Hugo nodded, and there was always a polite smile on the corner of his mouth. If someone observed carefully, he could find that Hugo's smile did not enter his eyes, and it was not obvious that tiredness was deep in his eyes. Hidden everywhere. It's just that Hugo hid it better and didn't show it in the conversation. "Alex is a regular member of the 'Happy Family', and he has mentioned 'Friends' to me several times."

Hugo's words made Jennifer immediately show a bright smile, and Cameron winked at Jennifer, as if to say, "I didn't lie to you", which made Hugo helplessly shake his head slightly, a smile on the corner of his mouth. It is a little deeper, "Actually, I always think that comedy is very difficult, comedy has high requirements for actors, not everyone can imprint comedy with their own style like Jim Carrey, and not all It's not easy for anyone to put a humorous effect on a bland line. If I have the chance, I'd love to try comedy."

"Didn't you star in 'Sleepless in Seattle'?" Cameron looked at Hugo in surprise and said in surprise, "And 'Before Sunrise' can also be regarded as another form of comedy."

Hugo shrugged lightly, "That's a light comedy. In fact, the test of an actor's individual is more delicate emotion than humorous ability."

Jennifer looked at Hugo seriously, and then suddenly said on a whim, "You can come to our show if you want." After the words were finished, she became more and more excited, because Jennifer found that this absolutely It was a proposal that made her so excited she wanted to scream, "If you do come to our show, I think the whole crew will explode, it's just so exciting."

Looking at Jennifer's ecstatic expression, she didn't even notice that she jumped in place twice, which made Hugo smile, "This sounds like a good idea, I hope Alex won't wave at me. fist."

Only then did Jennifer realize that "Happy Family", one of the biggest competitors of "Friends", was a work starring Hugo's best friend Alex. Even if she wants to make a cameo appearance, Hugo will give priority to "Happy Family" instead of "Friends". After all, she only met Hugo for the second time today, didn't she?

Thinking of this, Jennifer calmed down a little, "Sorry, it's my fault, I didn't think it through." Although he said that, Jennifer was still a little disappointed, and imagined in her mind the scene of Hugo appearing on the set of "Friends" , enough to make her scream. But now it seems that the feasibility of this matter is too small.

Hugo didn't take it to heart. He felt that Jennifer was just talking about it in a moment of excitement. It was just a polite remark in social situations. If it was serious, it would make the situation embarrassing. Hugo said with a smile, "Being able to receive such a warm invitation, I really feel my value as an actor. Next time if someone calls me a vase, I think this will be a powerful counterattack weapon."

In one sentence, both Jennifer and Cameron were amused, and the whole kitchen was suddenly filled with silver bells.

"What are you doing? Waiting for the chicken wings outside, but the snot flowing down." Leonardo's excited voice came over, and it swept into the kitchen like a tornado.
