Chapter 1518 1518 Everyone Is Happy

James Cameron's voice sounded a little tired, Hugo couldn't help but froze for a while, rubbed his temples to wake himself up, and at the same time got out of the RV and went outside to avoid disturbing the group of people who had already fallen asleep. Teammates, "Hey, James, I didn't expect this call."

Hugo's voice was a little light, but James didn't buy it. His rough voice cut off Hugo's tail, and said quickly, "I heard that you rejected the 'Titanic', this is true ?"

"This..." Hugo's head was full of question marks, because James's voice sounded not only unhappy, but also a little angry, which made Hugo puzzled, he chuckled lightly, "James , I already this is the result you want."

Since James had no polite plans, and Hugo had no secret plans, he directly refuted the past with a sarcastic tone, but James sneered, and the sneering sound showed that he didn't care, "So, you are Think my script isn't good enough?"

Hugo frowned slightly, "Script?" Hugo still didn't understand what James meant, but he still expressed his opinion, "No, on the contrary, I think this is a very good script, although in the emotional main line The outline of the film is a little weak, but for the grand framework of the whole film, this is enough, and it will be trivial and procrastination to cover everything, so overall I think it is a wonderful story."

Hugo's praise for the script still did not calm James down, "Then why did you refuse?"

An idea suddenly flashed in Hugo's mind: Is James angry because of his "rejection"? To be precise, it was because James allowed him to reject Hugo, but he did not allow Hugo to reject him. This was James' self-confidence and his pride. Especially when Hugo repeatedly emphasized the need to read the script before making a decision, now Hugo has given the script a high degree of affirmation, but still chooses to reject it, which is undoubtedly a contempt for James.

If that's the case, Hugo just laughed. Although I have long experienced James' self-centeredness, today is the real face-to-face feeling.

"Because I'm not the best choice in your mind." Hugo said it directly, but this truth made James angry, "How can you be sure of my thoughts? You are not me!"

Facing James' anger, Hugo didn't care at all, "James, if you want me to play, Rick can still change his mind now. I believe Kevin and Shirley will be very happy to hear the news."

Hugo's words immediately made James choked, and this sense of humiliation made James so angry that his hands were shaking slightly. It's been a long time since James has been so challenged since the Terminator's stellar success. Even if someone had an argument with him, he would definitely not be an actor.

But Hugo would never compromise because of James' success and prestige. James didn't like this kind of frustration, even disgust. But James is not an idiot, never has been, but he is so used to being strong in front of actors that he forgot for a while that his opponent is Hugo, the most powerful actor in Hollywood at present. This is also the reason why James does not like Hugo. If Hugo becomes a member of the "Titanic", this is an absolutely unacceptable result for James.

"I don't think Leonardo DiCaprio is a suitable actor." When the anger reached its peak, James controlled his emotions and regained his composure. Especially realizing that he had actually lost his temper in front of Hugo just now, which made James more stable at this time.

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. He really didn't expect James to be so cautious, but because of his own rejection, even Leonardo has to reject it together.

But in Hugo's memory, there are two cast candidates for "Titanic" in history, one is Matthew McConaughey and the other is Leonardo, the former is what Twentieth Century Fox hopes to use, The latter is what James insists. The final result is clear, James successfully persuaded Twentieth Century Fox to achieve Leonardo. As for Matthew... So he became a vase actor. After more than ten years, he made a comeback and even surpassed Leonardo and took the lead in winning the Oscar-winning actor.

The odds of life are always so interesting.

However, now James has changed his mind because of Hugo's relationship. The trajectory of history is indeed elusive.

"James, if you miss a good actor because you don't like me, you will end up losing the 'Titanic', not me." Hugo did not try to persuade James, but pointed out the key points right away, Because Hugo knew that in the face of such a personality as James, if he suddenly softened his attitude, things would not be easy to solve. "As I said just now, I like the script of 'Titanic' very much. I recommend Leo, not because he's my friend, but because he's the perfect fit. Of course Leo missed this script and there will always be another one; but 'Titanic' missed Leo , but it may not be possible to find a more perfect candidate.”

Hugo's toughness made James grit his teeth again, but he had to admit that in fact Hugo said the most important part of his heart: he was optimistic about Leonardo.

From the beginning, James did not want Hugo to take over the "Titanic" script, but the persistence of Kevin Pence and Shirley Lansing made James difficult to resist. In private, James personally believes that Leonardo would be the perfect candidate for the role of Jack, both in appearance and temperament, including acting skills.

But James also knows that Leonardo has always been very refusing to commercial movies. He once secretly tested Rick, and he knew that Leonardo didn't think about commercial movies at all. The only time he appeared in "Speed ​​of Life" was because of Hugo—— Hugo again. This made James grit his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

"But you forget that it's just your idea, not his idea. Plus, with so many great actors in Hollywood, I'll never be short of options. Matthew McConaughey is a great choice." James restrained all his emotions and said calmly.

Hugo chuckled lightly, "You are the director, what you say is what you say." Hugo gave James a step in time. He knew that he had forced James hard, and it is estimated that even Kevin and Shirley could not find a solution. , "But I can guarantee one thing, Leo does not reject the script of 'Titanic'."

Hugo didn't say anything, leaving James with a lot of leeway, which really relieved James' mood a lot. He tightened it first and then loosened it up. Before he knew it, James' mentality changed, "Hmph, my job, no I need you to direct. Since you refuse to appear in my work, that's the best thing, saving me a lot of tedious work."

After he finished speaking, James hung up the phone. Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Hugo pulled out a wry smile, it seemed that he was destined to be unable to appear in "Avatar".

Standing on the spot and stretching for a while, and finally determined the matter of the "Titanic", Hugo felt that the whole person was relaxed. In the near future, Hugo is not going to be busy with movies. He needs to focus on music for a while and enjoy the happiness brought by music. Unlike movies, in the world of music, Hugo insists on himself, the most real and essential self.

Whether it's Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox or Paramount, it has nothing to do with Hugo for the time being.

But before he could finish stretching, the phone in his hand rang again, which made Hugo frown. When did his phone become a hotline? Even though he thought so, Hugo still answered the phone. "Hello, this is Hugo."

"Hey Hugo, this is Kevin." It turned out to be Kevin Pence. "So, where the hell are you now? There's not much news about you lately. You almost thought you disappeared." Unlike James, Kay As soon as the text comes up, it begins with a joke.

"Didn't you just catch me?" Hugo said half-jokingly, "So, you're calling at this time and let me guess, 'Titanic'?" Hugo didn't want to go around in circles, he took the initiative brought up this topic.

Hearing Hugo's tone, Kevin sighed softly in his heart, "So, is there really no hope?" As the boss who has dealt with Hugo the most and most frequently among the eight major film companies, Kevin knows rain very well. Guo, since Hugo took the initiative to bring up this matter, it is basically a done deal.

"Kevin, believe me, Leo will be a better choice, I'm not omnipotent." Hugo's tone was very relaxed, and the burden on his shoulders was lifted.

Kevin originally planned to persuade Hugo, but after considering it comprehensively, Kevin knew that Hugo's words were correct. For James, for Hugo, and for "Titanic", Leonardo was the most sensible choice. of. It was this clearness that made Kevin sigh directly. He had planned for so long, in fact, he hoped that Hugo could insure the "Titanic", but the result was still not as good. popular. But Hugo has already starred in "Independence Day", and he can't be too greedy, can he?

"Okay, I trust your judgment." Kevin also said in a relaxed tone, "However, I have a request. You must play a cameo role, even if you support Leo."

"Guest appearance?" Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, this time he didn't hesitate for too long, and readily agreed, "No problem, I'll be waiting for you at any time."
