Chapter 1371 1371 Script Controversy
"Death Row" once again demonstrated Hugo's excellence with objective box office data. As the most successful actor in North America in the past four years, Hugo can be said to be leading in all directions. This has once again increased Hugo's weight in the minds of major production companies. Not only 20th Century Fox, but other major film companies are also eager to carry out further cooperation with Hugo, including Universal Pictures led by Ron Mayer.
Just as "Death Walk" was busy gradually expanding in North America, as the central character of the topic, Hugo's life was very leisurely, but Rick was too busy to touch the ground. On Monday, December 18th, the day after the premiere weekend of "Death Row", 20th Century Fox's action immediately became more frequent after witnessing the brilliance of this great drama. Rick's matter has also doubled directly.
When the sun sets in the afternoon, the setting sun spreads all over the sea. Standing at the door of the house, you can have a panoramic view of the sky. The dark blue and the bright red are interlaced, and there are some more leisurely and wonderful things in the white clouds. The liveliness of Hugo's house is in stark contrast, which is enviable.
At this time, Hugo was standing on the small platform in the inner courtyard, igniting the coals in the barbecue grill. After the flames came out, Hugo looked back and saw Leonardo who was standing beside him constantly gulping. He couldn't help laughing, "There is no food here, it's all coal, your saliva is about to flow down."
Leonardo was embarrassed by Hugo's words, and jumped directly on Hugo's back, "Where do I have it!"
Hugo spread his hands back and wiped three finger prints on Leonardo's cheeks. Leonardo immediately screamed and jumped back to the ground. He also wanted to touch the charcoal in the burlap bag, and then fight back. Hugo couldn't help scolding, "Hey, hey! If you still want to eat barbecue, this is not a smart move."
Leonardo immediately froze in place, with a look of panic, neither entering nor retreating. At this moment, a hearty voice came from the stairs behind him, "Leo, don't listen to him, just pounce on it. He won't be doing the grilling for a while, so I guess Samora will come."
There was no need to look back at all. He knew it was Charlize by listening to the voice. Leonardo walked back and forth between Hugo and Charlize behind him a few times, and then he put on a posture that was about to move. This made Hugo immediately put on a defensive posture and complained loudly, "Charlize Theron! You don't say a word, no one thinks you are dumb."
"I'm just announcing my presence." Charlize's brisk voice came from the direction of the swimming pool behind her, and then she looked around, "Stu, you stay here, I'll go in and get you a drink, beer?" Charlize obviously also regards Hugo as his home. When Hugo is away, they often come here for vacations and parties. Charlize is naturally familiar with it.
Stuart Townsend, who was standing on the side, was still a little cautious. Hearing Charlize's words, he frowned slightly and talked to Charlize in a low voice. As soon as Hugo turned his head, he saw Mr. Perfect, "Hey, sir..." Hugo's voice came out, and he saw Charlize's eyes glaring at him, and he quickly swallowed the word "perfect" behind him. shouted, "Townsend, Mr Townsend!"
Although Hugo and Charlize are good friends, Hugo and Stuart have only a handful of opportunities to get along, especially since that disastrous four-person date, the two have been embarrassed every time they meet, and they have been looking for something outside of their conversation. No suitable topic.
Stuart raised his hand and planned to say hello to Hugo, but Leonardo jumped directly at the gap, Hugo couldn't take care of himself at all, and only had time to grab Leonardo's hands and shouted, "Hey! Leo!" Stewart raised his right hand in embarrassment, but he still greeted politely, "Good evening, Hugo."
Charlize was all too familiar with this scene, gave Stewart a look, and said with a smile, "Who do you want to cheer for?" She then clenched her fist and waved, "Leo, come on! Come on! !"
Hugo heard this sentence, "Charlize! You are in trouble, be careful I pull Stewart into the water too!" He pulled Leonardo's hands and rushed in the direction of Stewart. terrified.
Although Stuart is five years younger than Hugo and only two years older than Leonardo, his personality is relatively introverted and afraid of life, not to mention the two people in front of him fighting like this, even talking It takes time to brew. Seeing the two people rushing over directly, Stewart couldn't help but fled, smiling awkwardly, "Hugo, me, I'll go see Sally!" Then he followed Charlize into the house.
Charlize entered the room and shouted loudly, "Samora, hard work for you to prepare dinner... Hey, Cameron, good evening..." Then seeing Stuart who came in, Charlize was stunned for a while, "What's the matter? ?" Looking back, I saw Hugo and Leonardo who were scrambling towards Stuart, and the whole room burst into laughter.
Cameron danced more lively, "Hugo, come on! Hugo, come on!" The loud laughter filled the villa with endless energy.
After all, Hugo was still stronger, and suppressed Leonardo so hard that he had no way to resist, but he also spent a lot of energy, panting, "Let's truce, truce, how about a truce? ?" Leonardo was imprisoned in front of his chest by Hugo, his hands were pressed, he gritted his teeth reluctantly, and shouted directly, "Alex, Alec Sis, help!"
The two troublemakers Alex and Leonardo met, and the scene was called chaos. Hugo alone was absolutely invincible with both fists and four hands, so he hurriedly hugged Leonardo. He ran towards the swimming pool, and then without waiting for Leonardo to cry, he threw him directly into the swimming pool. Although the water in the swimming pool is at a constant temperature, it is already December after all, and the sea breeze in the evening is extraordinarily strong. Leonardo was stimulated when he entered the swimming pool, "Ah!" A strange cry made the house play The group of people from the game console all swarmed out.
Today, a group of friends held a small party at Hugo's house. It was said to be a party, but in fact they were all familiar friends. Leonardo, Charlize, Cameron, Alex and others have all finished their recent work. They haven't gathered together for a long time, so they all went to Hugo's villa to relax.
When Joseph walked in, he saw such a scene. Hugo stood by the swimming pool clapping and laughing. A large group of people gathered on the other side of the basalt wine cabinet, looking at Leonard, who was embarrassed in the swimming pool. As a result, Leonardo became angry and started splashing water directly, causing everyone to jump around. Instead, Leonardo laughed triumphantly in the swimming pool.
Since Rick's workload has been ramping up recently and Hugo is on vacation, Joseph has been helping Rick a lot in the past, and it's the same today, having just returned from Twentieth Century Fox. Joseph shook his head slightly, showing a slight smile, walked down the stairs, and walked towards Hugo, who was dodging to the tennis court, "Hey, do you have time?"
Hugo gasped and smiled, and took off his charcoal-stained gloves, "What's wrong?"
"Rick and I have finished reading the script, we are not too satisfied..." Joseph and Hugo walked side by side towards the railing at the end of the grass, but Joseph was only halfway through when he was startled by a figure that came out Jumping, I saw Leonardo slammed onto Hugo directly wet, and then slapped Hugo's cheeks with both hands, not only leaving black fingerprints of six fingers, but also letting Hugo. The whole face is water stained.
"Leo!" Hugo didn't have time to react, Leonardo had already fled and left, laughing all the way. As soon as Hugo turned his head, Leonardo saw Hugo, who looked like a cat's beard. He couldn't stand up straight with a smile, and he almost fell over with a stagger.
Hugo couldn't help laughing when he saw Leonardo's funny movements. He wiped the water stains on his cheeks, looked at the charcoal on his hands, and then raised his head to look at Joseph, "So, what's wrong? You're not happy with the script?"
Joseph originally planned to continue talking, but looking at Hugo's cat-like face, he couldn't hold back, he burst out laughing, "Man, it seems that you've been thinking a lot about comedy recently." Hugo also Without speaking, he just shook his head like a puppy throwing water, and the water droplets splashed on Joseph's face, causing Joseph to spit water directly. Looking at Hugo's successful smile, Joseph did too. A look of helplessness.
"Speaking of business, what's wrong with the script?" Hugo chuckled, "I thought Rick didn't have any opinion on the script. Why didn't I protest, he was dissatisfied first?"
Joseph wiped the water stains on his face and looked at Hugo's serious appearance, very helpless, but he continued on the topic of Hugo, "Rick and you read the script from a different angle, he is not satisfied. Naturally, the reasons are different. Rick feels that your role is too small to be regarded as a male lead at all, you know, this will not achieve the effect he wants."
"Too few scenes?" Hugo was stunned. At this time, they were talking about the script of "Independence Day", which is still called "Doomsday", but Hugo learned the outline of the story through Rick and Joseph, and knew that "The end of the world" is known as "Independence Day" in later generations.
If you recall carefully, although "Independence Day" is nominally led by Will Smith as the male protagonist, in fact this work is very special. As a work mainly based on visual effects and war scenes, the original characters The weight is already very small, and there are countless characters in the whole story, and there are several characters with a certain degree of weight. Indeed, although the male protagonist is Will Smith, the role of the role is too small.
Rick was very dissatisfied with this.
