CHAPTER 15 015 Pies Come
Hugo raised his eyes from the script in front of him. The dense English letters on the script made Hugo have a headache. This reminded Hugo of the bleak years when he was doing English reading comprehension in junior high school, but it was better than when he was reading. : He is now a native English speaker. Although his memory is still only partially integrated, he has no problems with listening, speaking, reading and writing in English.
It's just that every time he reads the script for a period of time, Hugo will find it amazing. Even if he has experienced such an incredible thing, he still feels incredible.
The news of the failed audition of "Dahelian" was confirmed the next day. Even though the media's main focus was on the 49th Golden Globe Awards, there were still many media reports on the "Dahelian" male lead. No. The news that Brad Pitt was finally selected for no other reason: because the new Golden Raspberry Award for worst actor Hugo Lancaster was not selected. This made Hugo quite dumbfounded.
Although he was unsuccessful in the interview, Hugo did not get depressed for too long. He realized that maybe this time-travel was really his chance. If it was just a failure and gave up, it was definitely not his style. What's more, as long as he recalled the joy and happiness he was immersed in the performance during the audition for "Dahe Love", Hugo was unwilling to give up. This was the moment he had been dreaming of before the time travel, how could he be willing to miss it. This is the decisive factor in Hugo's reinvigoration!
Joseph was obviously lying when he said there were still plenty of auditions waiting for Hugo. While Hugo's current position in Hollywood is far from infamous, there's no question that studios will have to be more careful about using Hugo. And Joseph also knew that after the failure of three consecutive works, Hugo's next work must be selected carefully and carefully. If it fails again, maybe Hugo's acting career will really come to an end temporarily.
So, after the "Big River Love" audition, Joseph was busy and has been trying to find a suitable audition opportunity for Hugo. Unfortunately, without the help of Ron Mayer and Tracy Jacobs, Joseph's power is indeed limited, and opportunities are naturally not so easy to find. Fortunately, this also gave Hugo a buffer to adjust to the local life in Los Angeles.
Joseph is indeed a very capable agent. Although he is a newcomer, he is very good in both wrist and mind. He did not make Hugo wait too long, and he got a very good audition opportunity. Under the current circumstances, this is very difficult, and when Hugo saw the script that Joseph brought him, he was actually surprised, which is even more rare.
This time, the script brought by Joseph is a small-budget work "Scent. Of. A. Woman" shot by Universal Pictures, one of the eight major film companies, with a budget of 10 million US dollars.
The film "Scent of a Woman" is a remake of the 1974 classic Italian film "Scent of a Woman," which tells the story of a preparatory school student who works as an assistant to a grumpy, blind retired military officer. The original film focused more on the past life of the hero, Lieutenant Colonel Slade, but the script for the remake focuses more on the relationships between the characters.
Bo. Goldman, the screenwriter of the classic film "One. Flew. Over. The. Cuckoo's. Nest" who wrote "One. Flew. Over. On the body, through the changes in the relationship between the student and the lieutenant colonel, the true meaning of the story is revealed step by step.
"Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", which is still in the preparatory stage, has actually attracted a lot of people's attention, because the producer has found the famous Al. Pacino to play the male lead, Lieutenant Colonel Slade.
Al Pacino's third work after becoming an actor is "The Godfather", which has been known as one of the best films of all time. In this work, he and Marlon. Brando ) in the opposite play was not at all inferior, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. After that, Al Pacino relied on "Conflict (Serpico)", "The Godfather 2", "Hot Day Afternoon (Dog. Day. Afternoon)" for three consecutive years to be nominated for Oscar Best Actor nominations, and he also relied on extremely explosive His performance has become one of the best actors in film history, with Dustin - Hoffman (Dustin. Hoffman), Robert - De Niro, Jack - Nicholson (Jack. Nicholson). Great talent actor.
After entering the 1990s, although "Supreme Detective (****. Tracy)" once again brought Al Pacino an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, the continuation of "The Godfather 3" still disappointed many people. , it's not that "The Godfather 3" is really that bad, but in the face of the brilliance of the first two in the series, the third is really hard to match.
Before that, Al Pacino had been out of action for four years because of "Revolution", which invested $28 million and only received less than $1 million at the box office. After his comeback in 1989, "Midnight" The success of "Sea. Of. Love" and "Supreme Detective" still did not bring Al Pacino back to the real peak, and now facing the criticism of "Godfather 3", Al Pacino's reputation is indeed It's not as good as it was ten years ago.
Therefore, Al Pacino took over the role of Lieutenant Colonel Slade in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", and the response in the news media was very limited. People are still conservative about Al Pacino's revival. the opinion of. Universal Pictures only put out a budget of 10 million US dollars, which shows their cautious attitude.
But even so, the combination of Al Pacino and Bo Goodman, coupled with the director Martin. Brest, who filmed "Midnight. Run", is still worth looking forward to. . Especially for the actors, if they can play the role of Charlie, a high school student, opposite Al Pacino, this is definitely a rare opportunity.
Charlie's role requires twenty to twenty-five years of age, with a humble, polite, suave student temperament. There is no doubt about the attractiveness of this to young actors. Hugo did not expect that Joseph actually got him the opportunity to audition for the movie "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", which was a huge surprise.
Although the attitude of the news media is relatively conservative now, and Universal Pictures is also cautious, Hugo, the soul who has passed through, clearly knows what a precious opportunity it is to "smell the fragrance and know a woman".
"Smell the fragrance and know a woman" is naturally the most praiseworthy performance of Al Pacino, which also makes Al Pacino finally win the Oscar winner after six consecutive defeats, and the movie It has also won nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc. at the Oscars, which has been well received. What's more, the film's box office performance is also very good, and it is definitely a rare classic.
In "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", although Charlie is only a supporting role, his role is not weak. It can even be said that he is almost indistinguishable from Lieutenant Colonel Slade, but the core of the narrative lies in Lieutenant Colonel. The supporting roles are divided into primary and secondary. The character of Charlie is naturally not as difficult as Lieutenant Colonel Slade, but there is a lot of room for the inner struggle and transformation of the character.
If he can play the role of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", this will not only be a breakthrough for Hugo as an actor, but the most important thing is that he can also play opposite Al and learn more from this great actor. Stuff, the film's appeal was enough to get Hugo's blood boiling.
When Hugo got the script of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" from Joseph, he was so excited that he almost fell in front of Joseph. At this moment, he felt so deeply how this time traveled. A rare opportunity, he not only traveled through time, but also came to 1992 with the knowledge, vision, experience, etc. up to 2014, which means that for other actors, it is an "opportunity that can be encountered but not sought after." ", "luck" can be easily achieved in Hugo.
What Hugo has to do is not to wait for the pie to fall from the sky and hit him, but to aim at the opportunity that suits him and try his best to seize it. Now for Hugo, the opportunity is no longer a problem, his talent, his sweat, his Persistence is the key to success.
After getting the script, Hugo began to prepare for the audition of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". Joseph had already done his job as an agent, and he was still tirelessly seeking more audition opportunities. It depends on Hugo's efforts.
About ten minutes walk from Joseph's house, there is a Starbucks at the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard (Santa. Monica. Boulevard) is located in the shade of the boulevard, Hugo will walk to the door of this Starbucks every day to read script.
The home of the two bachelors was already a mess, and the environment in Joseph's house was really not good, so Hugo simply went to the open-air seating outside Starbucks to read the script, and at the same time, he could bask in the sun and relax. Mood is indeed a good choice.
Today, Hugo came to Starbucks early as planned, occupied a double seat outside, and then began to read the script. This time, compared to the rush of "Big River Love", there was enough time for Hugo to prepare, so he hoped Carefully read the script, not as an audience like watching the movie, but from the perspective of an actor to truly appreciate the connection between the plot, lines, and characters.
Hugo wants to win the role of Charlie, and his desire is stronger than ever, so he will definitely go all out!
Tired from reading the script, Hugo stretched his waist greatly and stretched his stiff back. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a young man wearing sunglasses chasing a young girl beside the street. The girl's expression hidden behind her hair was very impatient, and she kept waving her hands to refuse, but the young man was unwilling to give up and pursued.
This, in broad daylight toned down. play. A good woman? Shouldn't that be "Roaring when the road sees injustice, when it's time to make a move, make a move, rush through Kyushu wow..."
