Chapter 1785 Chapter 1785
Heath felt nervous that his whole body was about to explode. He wanted to talk to Hugo, he had countless questions to ask Hugo, and he wanted to talk and laugh with Hugo, but he felt that his throat was smoking He couldn't say a word in a daze, he could only subconsciously picked up the champagne in his hand, took a sip, the bright stars slid down his throat, his dry throat was overwhelmed, and he coughed immediately .
Heath wished he could disappear in place at this moment, his cheeks were completely flushed, but he didn't know whether it was because of coughing or shame.
Hugo walked to the coffee table next to him, took two facial tissues, and handed them to Heath. Heath took it and wanted to say thank you, but the trachea coughed again, so he could only cover his mouth with a facial tissue in embarrassment. It was nothing short of a nightmare.
"Don't worry, I'm not a black warrior, and I don't feel any malice towards you." Hugo said solemnly, but Heath looked at Hugo blankly, not understanding what Hugo's words meant. Hugo widened his eyes and shrugged slightly, "Look, this is the situation after saying something wrong in social situations, embarrassing!"
Hugo's ridicule immediately made Heath chuckle. "So, you just said that you are an actor?" Hugo asked with a hint of curiosity, as if it was just a chat between friends.
"Yes, I'm an actor." Heath didn't notice it himself, and the tension just calmed down unconsciously, and his speech was obviously much smoother, "However, I only acted in a few works in Australia, and in Hollywood I don't have any works for now. I'm... still trying to find opportunities."
"The most painful stage is also the most beautiful, isn't it?" Hugo nodded his chin with a smile. For the first time, I raised my curiosity, "So, you also went through this stage when you were performing in 'Death Row', right?"
"'Death Row Walk'? No, I wouldn't say that." Hugo shook his head, "Actually, during the performance, I can't feel my own existence more often. Others think I'm in pain, but in fact I I didn't feel much, because I wasn't me at the time. Instead, the process of self-exploration and self-study before entering the crew of "Death Row Walking" can be said to be painful but wonderful."
Heath seemed unable to understand what Hugo said, and asked with question marks on his face, "Why do you say that?"
"Hehe, you don't think I was a lunatic at the beginning, right? A long time ago, I was also a kind-hearted child." Hugo's interpretation made Heath really laugh, "I am not an actor with a professional background, and I explore the process of acting. It is very long and difficult, compared to the performance itself, the process of self-learning and self-growth is the painful and beautiful stage."
At this moment, Heath understood, but did not speak. Instead, he pondered Hugo's words carefully, and then looked at Hugo with half understanding, "So, during the shooting stage of 'Death Row', you really Can't feel yourself, are you completely dominated by the character?" Hugo pursed his lips, spread his hands, neither admitted nor denied, "What kind of feeling is that?"
Hugo looked at the Heath in front of him, the current Heath was just an underage child, his young face was far from the maturity and aura that would later amaze the whole Hollywood, and he couldn't see the forbearance and hardship in "Brokeback Mountain", I can't see the awe-inspiring evil in "Batman: The Dark Knight", just a hopeful child.
"The feeling of advancing on the high-altitude ropes, I feel that I am in danger and I will fall at any time. Maybe it will be a relief to choose to give up and let myself fall, but I know deep down that I should continue to move forward." The corner of Hugo's mouth said The smile subsided slightly, as if he was whispering to himself, and said meaningfully.
Heath looked at the confusion between Hugo's eyebrows, but his eyes were full of puzzlement, but he couldn't bear the eagerness in his heart, and the urge to perform almost made his heart explode, "Hugo, why would you Talk to me about the secrets of these... these performances?" He was just a nobody, and Hugo not only talked to him, but talked to him so deeply.
"Is there?" The look between Hugo's eyebrows quickly dissipated, and he smiled again, "It was just an ordinary conversation just now. As a host, I show my hospitality, that's all. From you Judging from the reaction, I, the master, have done a very good job."
Heath had no way to refute. After thinking about it carefully, in fact, Hugo didn't seem to have said anything just now. The vague feeling of speciousness made Heath a little confused.
Looking at Heath with a childish face in front of him, Hugo hesitated for a while, and then asked, "I'm not sure about your latest schedule, but if you are interested, a few people from the industry will come over soon, and they I'm casting for a movie, and there's a character in it, just a small character, but it also plays a key role in the story, and it has some lines and some room for development. I think you can try it."
Hugo was indeed a little hesitant. At this time, Hiss looked too immature, and the brief contact just now showed that he was obviously inexperienced. But Hugo knew that Heath is actually an actor with a very aura of performance. It is a kind of talent, innate, and it will only become better and better after time.
Tonight's party, countless rumors in the circle are smoke bombs released by Rick and Barry-of course, helping Steven Spielberg promote "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" is a side function. The real purpose of the party was casting for "LA Confidential", which was also the result of a compromise between Barry and Rick after negotiations.
Barry accepted Hugo's list of actors, but the scope of tonight's party invitations has been expanded several times, covering major Hollywood competitors such as Creative Artists Agency, International Innovation Management Company, William Morris Agency, etc. , Even Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company's current biggest competitor, United Elite Brokerage Company, has received inside information from Barry.
If there is no behind-the-scenes promotion, the influence of a party cannot really radiate so far. Now, not only Hollywood, but almost the whole of Los Angeles are discussing Hugo's return, Hugo's party, and the whole circle is discussing Hugo's new work, and the sensational effect has begun to emerge.
"L.A. Confidential" has a huge crew, and there are more than 60 characters with lines. Barry wants to make a big fuss about the casting process, and further exert the "Hugo Effect".
Hugo’s invitation to Heath was actually considered carefully. There is a big star in “LA Confidential”. This role does not have many roles, but it represents the entertainment industry symbol of Hollywood in the 1950s. For the story The promotion of the plot plays an important role. Hugo, the character named Matt Reynolds (Matt. Reynolds), is definitely not just talking about it. He believes that Heath can do it.
Of course, Hugo had only met Heath for a short while, and the fixed impression in his mind could not play a role at this time. Although he sent out an invitation, he still had to discuss it with Curtis and briefly audition. to make a decision.
"What?" Heath almost thought he heard it wrong, his muscles began to tremble, and the uncontrollable joy flooded him instantly. "You mean, there's a role I'm auditioning for?"
Seeing Heath's hard-to-disguise expression, Hugo raised his eyebrows and showed a smile, "Yes, you understand correctly. You will go to Curtis in a while...uh," Hugo immediately realized that Heath You don't necessarily know Curtis Hansen, "You go to Zamora, tell him the audition I just said, and he will take you to meet the auditioner."
"Hugo..." There was a voice calling from behind, Hugo looked back, "Sorry, I need to be the host now, you can relax, I hope you have a good time tonight." Then he patted Heath's arm, "Nice to meet you, so forgive my faux pas now."
After finishing speaking, Hugo turned around and walked quickly.
But Heath stood there completely frozen and became a stone statue. Everything tonight was too unreal, as if... It was like a Hollywood movie. Just a few hours ago, he was still insignificant in the City of Angels No one knows his name, no one cares what he thinks, and he even took the bus to Malibu. But now, he first got the invitation letter to the Hugo party, then he became the focus of the reporters, and then he talked with Hugo himself about acting skills, and finally got an audition opportunity... This is indeed Hollywood , everything is so dreamy and unreal that people don't want to wake up at all.
Heath picked up the glass in his hand, and poured all the champagne into his stomach in one breath, and the bright star bloomed in his heart.
After bidding farewell to Heath, Hugo turned and walked towards the direction of the voice, and then saw Cameron busy in the preparation room.
Cameron wore a big red bandage evening dress tonight. The short skirt design fully showed her slender legs. She paired it with a pair of black wrist strap stiletto high heels. Those fragile and graceful ankles seemed to be The sculptor carves and outlines the artwork bit by bit. The slightly curly long hair was draped lazily and sexyly over the shoulders, making people unable to take their eyes off with all kinds of amorous feelings.
"No, I said it, remove the net frame of the tennis court, and put two potted plants on it. No one will want to exercise tonight, but it's a good idea to take a walk on the lawn." Cameron said to the people in front of him. The staff explained, and then she noticed that everyone was looking at the door, she turned around and saw Hugo, "Oh, wait." Then she looked at the staff again, "Also, I just watched , The table by the cliff, the tablecloth is not fixed, you must fix it quickly, otherwise a gust of sea breeze will be a disaster."
"Okay, you guys go get busy." Cameron waved her hand, but after everyone dispersed, she thought again, "Wait..." But she rubbed her temples and thought about it carefully, "It's okay , everyone can go to work!"
