Chapter 1651 1651 Trivial Information

Alex could feel Hugo's current depression, even if he was joking, there was still a low air pressure around him. This time the Cold War came at a really bad time.

But this is not entirely accurate, because the fuse of the Cold War was the tour itself. Now, the tour is about to be unveiled, and Hugo still went against Cameron's idea and boarded the tour stage, so at this moment, it is obviously not that simple to really resolve the contradiction between the two people. The next tour will last at least two months before the first phase can be announced, and no one can predict when this cold war will end.

Thinking of this, Alex did not continue to entangle on this matter, and changed the subject along with Hugo's words, "I came here specially to celebrate your tour is about to start, and then I have to devote myself to filming. There is no way to witness history, but at least the tour of the Rose Bowl is unveiled, I must attend!"

Feeling the excitement and excitement in Alex's words, Hugo's heavy heart could not help but relax.

"You'd better worry about yourself first. Don't you feel heavy when you are acting in such a big production for the first time?" Hugo finally took a step forward, left the swimming pool, and walked towards the room. The cold air gradually dissipated, and the warmth in the room The air makes the muscles in the body begin to stretch.

Alex also walked in and sat down on the sofa casually, "I have too many things to worry about right now, it's Foster, it's Zemeckis, it's another big investment... Phew, I don't know what to worry about anymore, that's one of the reasons why I came here today." As he spoke, Alex's smile was mixed with a hint of helplessness, "I thought this opportunity was a dream, but I really took it. After getting it in your hands, you realize that things have never been so simple, how did you do it in the first place? Deal with these pressures?"

Alex is definitely hot in North America right now. The TV series "Happy Family" is a comedy leader, and in "Independence Day", although Hugo occupied all the attention, Alex is one of the two leading actors. First, it is also fame and fortune, and his film appointments are endless.

As early as a month ago, Alex's new work has been determined, although because he has to take into account the shooting of "Happy Family", there are still many film projects willing to cooperate with Alex. Ultimately, after careful selection -- and fierce competition -- Warner Bros.' "Contact" struck a deal with Alex.

Not to mention whether Warner Bros. chose to work with Alex at this moment - after "Batman and Robin" was officially rejected by Hugo - whether there are more long-term considerations, but "Contact" chose Alex Playing the leading role was obviously well thought out, and of course, the promotion of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company behind the scenes was indispensable.

"Contact" is Robert Zemeckis' first directorial work in three years after "Forrest Gump". It is obviously Robert's ambition. The film invested as much as $90 million and invited Judy - Foster played the heroine, which shows that they are looking forward to this work. In the end, this film became the first work that Alex provoked the leading actor. After the two works of "Brave the Dead Island" and "Independence Day" successively starred in golden supporting roles, Alex's career ushered in. important progress.

But relatively speaking, Alex's pressure is naturally huge. Whether it is a high investment or two Oscar-level cast members, it is an invisible pressure. Different from "Brave to the Dead Island" and "Independence Day", even if the box office fails, there are tall people who will bear it. At least half of the main pressure at the box office this time is on Alex's shoulders; let alone with Robert, Judy's cooperation is enough to make Alex's blood cold.

This reminds Hugo of the situation when he first acted in "The Hero of the Righteous Sea". He also took on the main weight of the movie. He also played against old actors like Jack Nicholson, and also played with Demi. - With such a popular actor as Moore, the pressure Hugo is under can be said to be unimaginable.

"You have to know that in Hollywood, even if many people want to be under pressure, they can't get the opportunity. Only by taking such pressure can you get the honor that matches it. The more pressure, the brighter the honor." Hugo simply said that recently, his understanding of this has become more and more profound. In fact, he still has not fully opened his heart. The crowd phobia can only be overcome a little bit with the progress of the tour, and now Cameron does not. The willingness to stand behind him and support him made things more difficult, but Hugo firmly believed in this truth: if you want to be mediocre, you must endure the mediocrity and boredom that it brings; if you want to make a name for yourself , then you must endure the pressure and hardships brought about by the radiance.

"Actually, you don't need to think so much. Before appearing in any work, instead of being nervous, it is better to be excited and look forward to it, because this is a brand new experience. Regardless of Robert or Judy, they are actually working with each other. I'm no different, and I'm no different from you..."

Before Hugo's words were finished, Alex interjected, "If you think about it this way, it's true!" This made Hugo stunned and asked, "What?" Alex laughed. Say, "Yeah, you, they're no different than you."

"You were my favorite actor, and you became my friend, and you are now not only an Oscar winner, but also setting countless records... I have already worked with you, so they There's no need to worry too much." Alex said solemnly, "Well, that's it! So, that's it, I don't want to. I need to really get into your band's performance and release all the pressure. , so don't let me down with tomorrow's performance, all my pressure is on you."

Alex's thoughts jumped a little faster, and Hugo's brain was obviously unable to keep up with the speed recently, but at least Hugo still reacted to Alex's last sentence. He couldn't hold back and laughed It came out, "Although I know that our tour has many people looking forward to it, but ... Thank you for your support, I will work hard tomorrow."

"It's my honor." Alex also made a "honored" expression, which caused Hugo's smile to be completely outlined, but Alex let out a long sigh of relief. Hugo now looks much more normal and the whole atmosphere is much more comfortable.

At this time, Joseph walked back after delivering the guests, but Alex suddenly remembered, "Hugo, the two people who came just now, are they the Coen brothers?"

"Yes, it's Joel and Ethan, what, have you dealt with them?" Hugo nodded and gave a positive answer, and then saw Alex's mouth wide open and a confused expression on his face, But after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was a matter of course, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed.

If you count the development history of American independent films, people will mention the status of Sundance, and people will mention the role of "Pulp Fiction". At the same time, people will definitely mention the pivotal role of the Coen brothers, They can even exist as flag-bearers for American independent production. Joel - Cohen, Ethan - Cohen, these two brothers laid important cornerstones for the cause of American independent film.

Unlike Quentin Tarantino, the movie ruffian, the Coen brothers have stuck to the field of independent films from beginning to end, using their whimsy to create one amazing work after another. Long before "Pulp Fiction," the Coen brothers were leading figures in independent film.

Beginning with "Blood. Simple" in 1984, the Coen brothers have produced excellent works, "Barton-Funk", "Money Empire", "Fargo" have created one after another The myth of independent films has attracted extensive attention and discussion among film critics, and is definitely one of the leading figures in the strong rise of independent films.

After entering the 21st century, the Coen brothers still maintain high production and high quality, "No Country for Old Men", "Burn. After. Reading", "A. Serious. True. Grit)", "Drunk Town Ballad (Inside. Llewyn. Davis)" and other works can be said to be wonderful.

For many indie film lovers, the Coen brothers' historical status far surpasses even Quentin's.

Seeing Alex's lively expression, Hugo felt even happier. Joseph said beside him, "Hugo has dealt with them at the Berlin Film Festival before, so they can be regarded as friends." That time in Berlin At the film festival, Hugo got to know the Coen brothers, Tim Robbins, and Paul Newman, which was quite rewarding.

Joseph saw Alex's excited expression and patted him on the shoulder, "So you should take advantage of this performance opportunity, maybe in the future, you can get to know them yourself. That's how Hugo came step by step. Yes, you know better than anyone."

Obviously, Alex's worries, Joseph is also clear. Recently Hugo and Cameron are in a cold war. If it is not a last resort, Alex and his group of friends will not tell Hugo other troubles.

Alex immediately jumped up excitedly, clenching his fists and cheering, "Wow, thinking about it this way, I'm full of expectations for 'Super Contact', and I can't wait to join the crew."

Not to mention that "Super Contact" itself is a super-luxury cast, imagine that after his success, he can meet more of his favorite directors, screenwriters and actors in Hollywood, so that Alex can't suppress his inner turmoil. Alex was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth, seeing Hugo dizzy for a while, then saw Alex stop, "But, you're not going to start the tour, Are you not picking up works for the time being? Why are the Coen brothers still looking for you?"
