Chapter 160 160 Friendly Conversation

This time, Hugo also noticed the change in Nicholas. Originally, he was worried that today's interview would be full of difficulties, and Nicholas would continue to make things difficult for himself. But the process of the interview went unexpectedly smoothly. He didn't even feel that it was an interview. It was like a conversation with a friend. He also said a lot of things that he didn't expect. And Nicholas, he seemed very friendly today.

When Nicholas finished the last sentence, he couldn't help laughing. He originally wanted to give Hugo some affirmation, but after he finished speaking, he found that this style really didn't suit him, which made him a little embarrassed that he couldn't. Don't hide it with a smile. "So, if there is a chance to release an album, would you like it?" Nicholas quickly changed the subject and continued his interview.

Hugo also regained his composure, and Nicholas in his eyes changed from a friend to a reporter again. At this time, his coffee was finally delivered. Sure enough, as Nicholas said, the waiting time for coffee was really long. So Hugo didn't answer immediately, but took a sip of his coffee for the first time. This coffee is medium-roasted, with a soft sour taste, which is a little more bitter than the coffee Hugo is used to. When I took the first sip, my brows could not help but wrinkle, but when the aroma bloomed on the taste buds After that, the sour sweetness is intoxicating.

Hugo guessed that it was based on Brazilian coffee, but he wasn't sure, after all, he wasn't quite an expert right now. "Sugar or milk?" Joseph sat beside him and looked at the dark cup of coffee, his brows began to knot, and he took the initiative to ask.

Hugo shook his head, "I'm going to enjoy it again." Actually, Hugo is not used to drinking black coffee, but today's coffee is a new taste. You can taste two more sips before adding sugar and milk. A waste of that barista's hard work.

"I guess it's Brazil. I'll ask the barista later." Hugo said casually to Nicholas. Both of them are interested in coffee. It is a good choice to exchange ideas. Nicholas is really full of curiosity. He came over, "The question you said just now, the album, yes, if there is a chance, I think it will be difficult for me to refuse. But the question is, who will be willing to find me?"

Hugo's rhetorical question made Nicholas laugh, "It depends on how far-reaching the influence of 'The Hero of the Righteous Sea' is." At present, the premiere of "The Hero of the Righteous Sea" has just finished, and the news about Hugo's performance of the ending song It is so lively that if the influence is further expanded, it is not surprising that record companies have come to the door.

"Before the movie was released, did you expect this number of premieres?" Nicholas then opened another topic.

"No, of course not." Hugo shook his head neatly. He only felt the aroma of coffee between his lips and teeth, and he could even feel the taste of coffee beans. This feeling is really great. Forensic film, even though I'm pretty sure it's a good work, I wouldn't dare to make such a bold prediction."

The fifth box office premiere of the year, this data is indeed too bold.

"Are you sure this is a great work?" Nicholas repeated, capturing a key word. Hugo nodded affirmatively, and Nicholas asked, "Why, are you so confident in the movie?"

Of course, Hugo can't say that he came from crossing the road, but the matter of crossing is not directly related to "the heroic wind of the sea of ​​justice". Hugo's impression of "smell the fragrance and know a woman" is far more profound than that of "the heroic wind of the righteous sea". , "You know, a great script, a great director, a great cast of actors, what more can we expect from a movie?"

"Jack helped me a lot during the filming process. Although he didn't stay on the set for a long time, he left a very deep impression on me in terms of his performance. I liked watching Jack on the set. Acting, that is a very special enjoyment." Hugo specifically mentioned Jack Nicholson, which is also his favorite point of "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness", and he completed one of his acting skills in this film. Small breakthrough.

If he hadn't worked with Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson successively, it would have been difficult for Hugo to make a breakthrough in acting so quickly. Of course, the accumulation before crossing is also very important.

"I can imagine the scene you're talking about." Nicholas has no interest in the details of his acting studies, knowing Hugo's admiration for Jack is enough, "Although you experienced some difficulties at the beginning of this year, then you and two A great actor has worked together separately."

"Of course, it's an honor." Hugo said with a smile, he couldn't help taking another sip of coffee, this time he was sure that the bitterness of the coffee was indeed a little heavier, and he should add a little milk.

"Then who do you think is better, Al or Jack?" After Nicholas asked, he smiled slyly. This is a reporter's routine question, and it depends on how Hugo answers.

Hugo's action of pouring milk paused for a while, and then he showed a wry smile, "You gave me a question that no one in America can answer." In fact, the opinion of who is better and who is greater is a matter of opinion. The problem, whether it is awards or works, has no way to define the excellence of actors, it can only be a footnote to their success. "I think it would be wiser to leave this question to time, and I'm not as smart as time."

Nicholas expected a similar answer from Hugo, but instead of "both are excellent" nonsense, he avoided the question in a very clever way. But Nicholas didn't intend to let Hugo go, "Oh, no, give me an answer, two people can only choose one."

"If you tell me who is prettier, Meg. Ryan or Julia Roberts, then I'll answer your question." Hugo threw another thorny question that left Nicholaston at a loss up.

Meg and Julia are Hollywood's most popular sweetheart representatives in the United States in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Both of them are the most popular actresses from all angles. The supporters are not different, and their status in Hollywood is almost the same. The strength of the works is also comparable. It is almost impossible to choose a winner among the two of them in 1992.

Nicholas originally wanted to choose a random one to force Hugo. After all, he was a reporter and he wrote the article. He just had to pinch off his own answer. But Hugo seemed to sense Nicholas' intention and shook his head directly, "You must write it in the article, and I will leave evidence." This made Nicholas dumbfounded.

"Okay, I surrender." Nicholas knew that he still had many ways to deceive Hugo, but Hugo's attitude just now showed that he would not give an answer, so it is better to continue wasting time here. Smart continued the interview, "After the success of 'Yihai Xiongfeng', do you have any plans for the next step? Or do you have any ideas for your future career as an actor?"

The whole picture of Nicholas's question is actually saying: After experiencing the trough of "Hudson's Eagle", and finally relying on two movies to make a comeback, will Hugo be more cautious in the future, and what will he be more mature about in the future? idea.

Hugo thought about it, he really didn't have much thoughts on this, because before the release of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", he was not qualified to think about these issues at all. Even now, Hugo still faces many difficulties. "I think the most important thing is to keep your feet on the ground, choose the script, and then focus on your acting skills and become a better actor."

"Then what do you mean, you are more willing to accept art films than commercial films?" Nicholas interpreted Hugo according to his own ideas. After the success of "Dead Poets Society", Ron-Mayer successively received several works with strong commercial elements for Hugo, but the results can be imagined, all of them failed, which caused Hugo to fall to the bottom.

"Oh, no, of course not." Hugo laughed, "I mean, no matter what movie it is, it's actually the most important thing to focus on your actor's work. After all, I don't have too many choices right now. , isn't it?"

Nicholas smiled meaningfully, "Trust me, you have more choices than you think." Although Hugo has been in Hollywood for ten years, he is still only twenty-five years old. How to plan It's a very important and difficult thing to do well in your career as an actor. Nicholas knew that Joseph was a novice agent and Hugo had a bad track record, so the future was really uncertain.

However, at least now Hugo can enjoy a bumper harvest. The success of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has just begun. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation today, this is the end of my exclusive interview." Nicholas stood up and stretched out his right hand again to express his friendliness.

Hugo also stood up and held Nicholas' right hand, "You are very friendly today, at least a lot more friendly than I thought."

"Hehe, of course, I've always been a friendly person." Nicholas knew what Hugo was implying, but he didn't plan to respond directly.

It's a pity that Hugo didn't intend to miss this opportunity, "No, you were not like this before. I read your report, remember?"

This made Nicholas burst into laughter, "Yes... that's just work, I have no plans against you, it's just to write good news reports." In fact, as far as Nicholas himself is concerned, his impression of Hugo has also changed a lot. , After the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo seems to have changed a person, and now the success of the two films is entirely dependent on his own efforts to win. Today's conversation also made Nicholas unexpectedly discover that the two have a lot in common. It was indeed a very pleasant conversation.

So, Nicholas went on to say, "I think you can look forward to this interview."

Hugo curled his lips, "Like expecting a white Christmas in Los Angeles?"

In the face of Hugo's humor, Nicholas couldn't help laughing.
