Chapter 1403 1403 Potential Child Star

Looking at the little guy in front of him, Hugo couldn't help but exclaimed, took two steps forward, then squatted down and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, man, I'm Hugo Lancaster. ."

Tom and Carl, who were chatting, didn't notice Hugo's appearance. At this time, they were shocked when they heard Hugo's voice, and then saw Hugo's actions, so they both smiled and watched. Little Budian looked up at Tom, then turned his head and said with a frown, "Mom told me not to talk to strangers."

Hugo raised his brows slightly and said with a smile, "Hey, stranger, I have introduced myself. If you tell me your name, we are not strangers." Hugo looked at the little guy in front of him seriously. With eyes full of aura, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "Look, Tom is standing beside him. He hasn't taken out his mobile phone to call '911' yet, which at least shows that I'm not a bad person, doesn't it?"

Little Boy was not persuaded by Hugo, but lowered his head and thought for a moment in silence, then raised his head to look at Tom. Tom was still making trouble at this time, and said with a smile, "If you need, I can call '911' now." Both Carl and Rick laughed outright.

Little did not make a decision immediately, but turned his head and looked at Hugo carefully, as if he wanted to see some clues in Hugo's eyes. Hugo also widened his eyes, letting the smile in his heart slowly overflow like this, and then he saw the curvature of the corner of Xiaobudian's mouth rising little by little, "I don't think you are a badass."

After making a serious judgment, the little guy held Hugo's right hand that had been in the air for a long time, and the kid said loudly, "Hello, my name is Haley. Joel. Osment. ,Nice to meet you."

Haley-Joe-Osmond, when mentioned this name, many people will be very unfamiliar, it seems that he can't be compared with a child star like Macaulay-Culkin. But this is not the case. Macaulay was once a smash hit, mainly due to the chain effect of "Home Alone". From movie box office to home video rental, most Americans have seen this work. In the supremacy of Hollywood, it is naturally sought after by countless people, which is also the arc of influence hidden behind the pure digital interests of the "box office".

Macaulay's greater achievement is that he has opened up a new type of work. In the early 1990s, movies with children as the protagonists emerged one after another, which became a new method for major film companies to grab the box office. Therefore, in terms of influence, Macaulay, like Shirley Temple, occupies a leading position in film history.

But in terms of box office and performance alone, Haley's achievements far surpass Macaulay's.

A "supernatural sixth sense (The. Sixth. Sense)", a "artificial intelligence (A. I:Artificial.Intelligence)", which is enough to make Haley famous in history.

"Sixth Sense" not only swept the North American box office of 290 million US dollars - an achievement far beyond the "Home Alone" achievement, but also was unanimously sought after by Hollywood, Hailey is relying on his superb The performance earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. You must know that the best supporting actor in the Oscars has always been a nursing home, mainly to reward senior actors. Haley, who was only twelve years old, was able to win the nomination, and his achievements were even better than Anna, who won the Oscar for best supporting actress at the age of twelve. - Paquin is even more amazing.

"Artificial Intelligence" was a work that Stanley Kubrick could not complete during his lifetime, and was eventually taken over by Steven Spielberg. Although this work only made $78 million at the North American box office, But the world has won 235 million box office data, and for science fiction movie lovers, this is an indelible and important work in film history. Haley once again gave a stunning performance in it!

It can be said that in terms of box office results, Haley far exceeds the box office data of Macaulay's "Home Alone" series and other similar derivative works, and what makes Haley even better is that his acting spirituality and talent have allowed the entire Hollywood They all exclaimed, even the conservative and harsh academy judges were impressed by him.

But the main reason why Haley's influence is not comparable to Macaulay's is the relationship of the times. In the early 1990s, Macaulay was almost born out of nowhere; attention has plummeted, and neither of Haley's big hits is the family-friendly genre, with a far less commercial side impact than Macaulay's.

But even so, Hailey still wrote his own miracles in the history of movies. The acting talent he showed at a young age is amazing, especially the performance in "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", which can be called a child star. most.

It is a pity that Hailey has also experienced the dilemma that all child stars will face: when they become adults, the transition and connection between childhood roles and adult roles are the so-called transition pains. How many smash hit child stars have fallen below the threshold of transformation, even more difficult than the actor finding a place in Hollywood.

The simplest example is the three protagonists of the "Harry Potter" series. After leaving the series that lasted for ten years, the three actors wanted to get rid of their child star image, but also to get rid of the "Harry Potter" series. The shackles of a fixed image are constantly struggling. Until 2014, their transformation could not be regarded as a success.

Even the best-developed Emma Watson (Emma. Watson), she chose to go back to school temporarily, and at the same time frequently attended fashion and charity occasions, created an elegant and noble lady image, became a fashion leader, gorgeously Completed the turn. But the film's performance is still lackluster, which is fatal to the actors.

The same is true for Hailey. In 2003, after he was fifteen years old, he fell into confusion, and he was never able to break free, and was drowned in Hollywood's endless rising stars.

It is worth mentioning that the first time Haley let people know his name was "Forrest Gump", in which he played the son of Forrest Gump and Jenny.

Looking at the smart and sensible Hailey in front of him, Hugo felt a little sigh in his heart. Not only did he lament that Hailey had not grown up or had a disability at this time, but Hailey developed more and more horizontally after adulthood, from face to body. In this way, his facial features, which were not obvious and not deep at first, remained in their original positions, and the result was a tragedy, but now Hailey is still full of spirituality, cute and budding, and his well-behaved appearance is really flattering; It was only a few days ago that he saw Macaulay look down and out, and today he saw Hailey, who had not yet reached the peak.

"So, we are going to work together next?" Hugo suppressed his inner sigh, looking at Haley, who was still a little ignorant in front of him, and showed a friendly smile.

Hailey's caterpillar-like eyebrows wriggled slightly, and her confused eyes carried a little curiosity, "So you want to work with me? What is your role?"

Karl, who was standing next to him, smiled without face at all, "Man, it seems that you are not that famous either."

"Tom, is he famous?" Haley raised his head and asked childishly.

Tom, who was named, shrugged, "Uh, yes, you can say that. But I think it's more important that you play opposite him and learn from him."

Haley frowned and raised new questions, "So, he's a very good actor?"

"Yes, he is a very good actor." Tom replied with a smile, which made Hugo applaud himself, and said, "This is a shy compliment." People laughed.

Hailey turned his head, bit his lower lip, thought for a moment, and solemnly extended his right hand to Hugo, "Very good, I hope our cooperation is pleasant."

Hugo chuckled lightly again because of this man's behavior, but he did not take it lightly, but solemnly stretched out his right hand, "Thank you for your approval, I will work hard!" Hailey still pointed seriously He nodded, as if to say "I see", which made several people around him couldn't help laughing.

Hugo then stood up again and said to Rick, "Who decides? An excellent choice, although I think he far exceeds the needs of the character." It has been several years, but he can already feel Haley's maturity and sensibleness, which is very necessary for child actors.

"Sergio, he thinks this kid will definitely not let you down." Rick said simply, causing Hugo to nod again and again. As expected of the partners who worked together on "Schindler's List", they knew Hugo's requirements very well, "So, what do you think?" Rick and Karl pulled Hugo aside, while Tom Take Haley to his parents.

Hugo knew what Rick meant, and he looked at Carl, "You know, the biggest problem for a child actor is career planning. Are you mentally prepared?" After Haley grew up, his agent obviously didn't have any plans. TAL's development strategy is to take one step at a time, and as a result, it will destroy a seedling with acting talent.

Just like Daniel. Radcliffe, after leaving the role of Harry Potter, he couldn't wait to break the audience's stereotype and played a series of bold and unusual roles, one of which was It is difficult for the audience to slow down, and the sense of identity is always difficult to be too high; secondly, he himself is fixed on those abnormal characters, and it is very difficult to get back on track.

Carl nodded, "But it's the first time I've dealt with a child, so I don't know how to control it. I still need to explore slowly." Carl's personality is always cautious, and he has always been an actor. The development trajectory of Lex and Charlize is known. In fact, it is a suitable choice for him to accept the child star. "You mean, he is worth it?" Carl heard the affirmative traces from Hugo's words.

Hugo nodded of course, "Yes, he is excellent." Simple and clear.
