Chapter 1827: 1827 The Soldiers Project

Hugo was sitting on the beach chair by the door of his RV, rubbing his cheeks with hot eggs, trying to let the blood go away as soon as possible. Suddenly, he felt that the sun was blocked. When he looked up, he saw Charlize's figure , "So, you are still so dedicated, which makes the other actors of the crew have no way out, and everyone hates you behind your back."

Indeed, Hugo is now at the top of the entire Hollywood pyramid, but he is still so dedicated and hard-working. This is a good thing for the crew, but it is a huge pressure for other actors. Even if they try their best, they may not be able to compare with Hugo, but they will still be dismissed by other crew members for not working hard enough.

The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was outlined, "I think it's necessary to be a nuisance once in a while. It's good to give them a reason to hate me and make them feel at ease."

This explanation was beyond Charlize's expectations. In fact, no matter what Hugo does, Hugo is the most special in the eyes of others. If Hugo doesn't work hard, they will think that Hugo has reached the peak now and can win everything without hard work; if Hugo works properly, they will think that Hugo is belittling other actors-the performance can easily control the situation without exerting force ; Hugo tried too hard, and they would think that Hugo didn't give other actors a chance to live.

This is the consequence that Hugo has to bear, and this is the reason why the heights are too cold.

Therefore, Hugo just insists on himself. He knows that he can't please everyone, and he also knows that it's impossible to shut everyone up. The most sensible way is to be consistent: what was before, what is now.

Charlize was amused by Hugo's frankness, she sat down beside Hugo, and looked at those amber eyes seriously, as if trying to see all the abnormal clues from them. There was a momentary pause in time, and the atmosphere seemed a bit weird, which made Charlize burst out laughing, "So you don't mind if I speak ill of you with other actors behind your back?"

Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I have reached this height now?" Hugo laughed himself after finishing speaking, "When filming before, most of the actors liked to gather together and speak ill of the leading actor .I said bad things about Al and Jack. But I just won the Golden Raspberry Award at that time, and everyone complained in front of me.”

Charlize, completely overjoyed, nodded earnestly, "You've reached this height now, and the crew and cast are gathering behind your back to gossip about you."

Hugo raised his chin, and pointed to the staff members who were discussing in the corner of the studio, "Then do you think they are discussing the scene with Russell just now, or the scandal between the two of us?"

Charlize looked back, but she hadn't thought of this question at all before, and now she took a closer look, pursed her lips and nodded her chin slightly, and said, "I think it's both, they must think that I'm sabotaging you and Ka Mellon's feelings are a shameless bitch." Charlize teased with a frank face, which made Hugo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At this time Joseph ran over quickly, pointed to the mobile phone in his hand, "Steven's phone." Hugo stood up and took the phone, and said, "Your attitude is very good, tonight we You need this kind of gesture in that scene, and I think you will perform well." As a result, Charlize gave a middle finger, and Hugo laughed heartily, walked aside to answer the phone, "Hey, this is Hugo."

"Hugo, sorry to interrupt your filming." Steven Spielberg was on the other end of the phone, "I just wanted to ask Joe if you have time to come out for dinner tonight, but now it seems It's unlikely." Generally speaking, unless there are special needs, the working time of the crew is eight hours, so daily life remains the same.

"So, who is the lobbyist for this time?" Hugo teased with a chuckle. Steven has been a lobbyist for others many times before, hoping that Hugo can join their works, so Hugo will There is such a saying.

Originally it was just a joke, but Steven did not expect to say, "This time I am here to be a lobbyist for myself." Instead, Hugo was stunned, "What?"

Steven chuckled, "If my news is correct, 'LA Confidential' can be finished in half a month at most, right? So I thought, if you are interested, you can join my Come to the crew and play an important role."

All of a sudden, it seems that the audition for "Schindler's List" was just yesterday. At the beginning, Hugo went to Steven tremblingly, participated in the audition, and persuaded Steven with his own efforts, and successfully starred in it. He played one of the most important villain characters in film history and ushered in the first explosion of his career.

However, after that, Hugo and Steven became friends, but the cooperation between the two has never been "second time". Achieve cooperation. This also made many insiders feel sorry. Today, Steven sent an invitation to Hugo again, but the situation is completely different from that of "Schindler's List". Today's Hugo is fully qualified to sit on an equal footing with Steven. The power of time is always amazing.

"Your crew? So you mean 'Saving Private Ryan'?" Hugo's first reaction was this work. Although Hugo didn't have much involvement in the business of the Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company, he heard a lot of news about the "Saving Private Ryan" project. This is not only the first big move of DreamWorks since its establishment, but also the Works that have fully cooperated with Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company are completely handed over to Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company for bundled and packaged cooperation.

At present, "Saving Private Ryan" can be said to be the most important project of Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company, and the entire company has been mobilized. Although they have not signed an investment and production contract with any company for the time being, let alone a distribution company, this is not something they need to worry about. Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. are all trying their best to win the title of this work. contract.

From "LA Confidential" to "Saving Private Ryan", almost the entire company of Endeavor Elite Agency has been mobilized, and all actors, big and small, have won the opportunity to star. Therefore, it is impossible for Hugo not to have heard of it.

Steven laughed, "Yes, it's 'Saving Private Ryan'. Early next month, I plan to take the entire cast lineup to the base for military training, so that everyone can truly feel the urgency of war, and even accept some Training on firearms, marching, and then selecting some of the soldiers as extras.”

Hugo had read the script of "Saving Private Ryan" and made many comments. This screenplay was written by Robert Rodat (Robert. Rodat). This screenwriter is not very prolific. Until 2014, there were only seven works, but each work has received many praises. Maybe he can't be regarded as a ghost or a genius, but he is definitely a screenwriter with a very solid foundation, and his scripts can always reveal their weight in the ordinary.

"So, this time, you plan to focus on the truth and cruelty of war." Hugo nodded his chin with a smile, and sighed.

It can be seen that Steven's approach to the two scripts of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List" is completely different. Both works focus on war, vividly displaying the cruelty and bloodiness of war, and analyzing human nature from it. But "Schindler's List" is more of psychological pressure, the invisible smoke permeated in the concentration camp under Amon; and the historical heaviness of "Saving Private Ryan" almost hits the face, It was so heavy that everyone couldn't breathe.

The smile on the corner of Steven's mouth got bigger, and he couldn't help but nodded, "I have a lot of thoughts about this work, and I'm sorting out my thoughts recently. I hope I won't be too greedy and ruin the work instead. This is A good script, I need a good idea to shoot it." At this point, Steven paused, and then shifted to the real purpose, "So, I think, I don't know if you are interested in this project , join our crew?"

"Isn't your crew full of actors yet? I remember, you guys have been auditioning for actors since before the filming of my movie started?" Hugo's memory was a little fuzzy, he vaguely remembered that he was still resting in Long Beach, " "Saving Private Ryan" has already been approved, and auditions for actors have begun. Because this project is too huge, there are more than 300 professional actors who need to audition, and more than 100 of them have lines.

Steven sighed, "I have auditioned a lot, and most of the supporting roles have been selected, but I am still not satisfied with the main role. With a small team of eight, I only found half-satisfied actors."

Hugo couldn't help chuckling, "It seems that our company is still too small." It is not an easy task for Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company to contract "Saving Private Ryan" in one go, not to mention the fact that there are many challenges to choose from. It is even more difficult to produce excellent actors. However, Steven didn't mind using unknown newcomers, which made Rick and the others breathe a sigh of relief. "So, do you want me to make a cameo? That's no problem. Anyway, after I finish shooting this work, I should be fine..." At this point, Hugo couldn't help but pause. He thought of the script he was writing, But if you think about it carefully, he hasn't completely finished his creation, let alone looking for investment and creating projects later, so he probably won't start filming in a short time, "Yes, it should be fine. So, what role do you want me to play as a cameo? Best Find a hero character who dies heroically."

Steven was amused by Hugo's words, he laughed, "Lieutenant John Miller, what do you think?"

Lieutenant John Miller? this……
