Chapter 185: 185

Hugo's outfit was a little more casual today, with a black base T-shirt paired with a dark blue open-neck T-shirt, loose jeans, and finally a ginger work jacket. There were no accessories on his hands or body, nor anything special. The bright spot is just an ordinary outfit.

After entering the restaurant, Hugo took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves. He could clearly see that the cotton T-shirt had become loose due to too many washings, and the open collar was soft and slumped without any sense of design, and even the cuffs could be seen. A black stain, apparently not doing the laundry very carefully, so it wasn't cleaned up.

This whole outfit looks simple and casual, but it is a little sloppy, and it is indeed out of place for an important audition occasion. In Nora's imagination, even if Hugo didn't dress up, it should at least be clean and tidy; and from a woman's point of view, although Hugo's appearance is indeed very eye-catching, such a dress must be deducted three points Impression, any woman will not have a good first impression of such a man.

Hearing Nora's words, Joseph suddenly became nervous, his eyes looked at Hugo, but Nora was locked in the corner of his eyes. He questioned Hugo's clothes when he went out, but Hugo insisted, Joseph finally Compromise, and now it seems that the situation is not good.

Rob frowned when he looked at Hugo, because in the last audition for "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo's dress left a deep impression on him. It was not solemn but formal, and it fit the role very well. The last coat He also appeared several times during the filming of the film. Hugo's dress today is not only unceremonious but also informal, even untidy, which is a kind of faux pas.

But Hugo was not nervous at all, he even took the time to give Joseph a "don't worry" look, and then looked at Nora and said, "When I was worried about the situation, I even said There was no chance, we just ate dinner from start to finish and didn't talk about anything about the movie. So I thought, how can I tell you, without being rude, that I'm actually a good fit for the role of Sam, and I didn't As handsome as you imagined."

People rely on clothing, and this applies to everyone. Although there are many top models, they still look stylish even if they wear a rag, and white T-shirts and jeans have different effects on different people; but it is undeniable that these basic elements are clean and tidy, fit their temperament, and be close to the occasion. It's still a must. Spotless white shirts look annoying when among blue-collar workers, whereas oil-stained overalls look stylish; and vice versa.

Therefore, even a person with an innate advantage like Hugo must look at the occasion, look at the atmosphere, and match clothes according to the situation, so as to highlight his temperament. The outfit Hugo wore today was really out of date, and it made him look a few years older and sloppy. If you look closely, you can see the shadow of his chin stubble, and the whole person seems out of place here. But there is a feeling of... a frustrated middle-aged man.

So, the answer is about to come out! What Hugo said about "prove yourself without being rude" is acting, and acting comes from life. Combined with Hugo's performance after arriving at the restaurant today, it is not difficult to come up with such a result: In fact, Hugo's audition It started long ago.

Rob was relieved immediately. He recalled the audition for "Yihai Xiongfeng". Isn't that how Hugo persuaded him? Although Rob has seen many excellent actors, Hugo's hard work and dedication still made him smile.

After Nora heard Hugo's words, her first reaction was to be stunned, and then her eyes began to carefully look at the young man in front of her. No wonder Nora always felt a little strange today. On the one hand, it was because Hugo was different from the handsome and sunny boy in her impression. On the contrary, the impression of maturity and stability was quietly imprinted on her mind; on the other hand It's because she clearly has the initiative, but why the theme of the final dinner has returned to the movie, it turns out that Hugo has gone all out from the beginning.

The Hugo in front of him definitely looks more than twenty-five years old, and there is no problem in saying that he is about thirty years old. The chin stubble, the sloppy T-shirt, the stains on the cuffs, and the plain dress all show that this middle-aged man The masculinity is slightly depressed; but it is not obvious on the surface, because he smiles, talks softly, is witty and humorous, and his dedicated and sincere eyes reveal stability. This is an unassuming and down-to-earth man. Simple man. Against such an appearance, the depression revealed from the details is quietly hidden in the bottom of my heart, more like the depression brought about by his life, but he is reluctant to show it in front of others, and is still strong treat life.

This... fits the profile of a young widower perfectly! Imagine that the pain of losing his wife is hidden in the endless nostalgia. He has no time to take care of himself, and the lack of his wife's care is also slightly decadent in his clothes; but at the same time, he has to cheer up because of the children. Be the only pillar of the family and give children more life.

A smile appeared on Nora's face again, but this time the smile was more sincere than before, and her interest in Hugo showed a sharp rise, "Well, I don't think you have read the script, so you rely on it. Why do you think such an image must be suitable for Sam?"

This question hit the nail on the head, and not only Nora was curious, but Rob and Joseph also looked at Hugo curiously. Hugo replied in his heart: Because this is how I feel after watching the movie, I did read the script. But this kind of advantage can't be understood by outsiders, so Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and showed a smile, "I don't think that this image is necessarily suitable for Sam, but in my impression, a man who lost his wife but The image of a man who lives strong, that's what it is."

"Facing death is not easy for anyone, but people often say that death is not that scary, because after death everything disappears. But for the living, this is the torment. Begin." When Hugo said this, his eyes darkened slightly, he didn't know what kind of mess he left in 2014 after crossing, but the only thing he can do now is to use Hugo-Lan Caster's identity continued to be strong, and that was the hardest part.

Hearing these words, Nora, Rob, and Joseph all fell silent. In terms of age, Hugo is the youngest of the four people present, but the meaning of Hugo's words just now is so far-reaching that it doesn't look like something uttered by a twenty-five-year-old young man.

Death, this may be a proposition that cannot be penetrated in a lifetime. Joseph couldn't help thinking of everything Hugo had gone through in the past, Hugo had experienced a bad car accident, and he had also experienced poison. He was on the verge of dying, and had experienced the ups and downs of his career as an actor. Thinking of this, Joseph suddenly had an admiration for Hugo, who was working so hard and so earnestly in front of him, not as an agent, but as a friend.

"Yeah, death is liberation, and living is pain." Nora whispered, 中. There is an old saying in the country that you know your destiny by fifty. Nora has reached this level this year, and she has also reached the stage of realizing life.

Raising her eyes again, Nora looked at Hugo in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Hugo, many actors heard about the idea of ​​this movie, but two men and women who have never met, but because of one It's unbelievable to fall in love on a radio show, and they all think it's impossible for such a subject to be successful. So why would you want to be in such a work?" Nora still didn't say another half sentence , that is "and you worked so hard for this opportunity".

The project "Sleepless in Seattle" has not been smooth since its establishment. Nora originally hoped that Columbia Pictures, the production company of "When Harry Met Sally", would take over the project. Do not think this project will be able to make it to the big screen, let alone a success, because "that would be a disaster"; and then Nora found 20th Century Fox, who invested in Nora's screenwriting debut "Silk" The Kewu incident", but unfortunately the result was the same rejection.

In the end, Nora was saved by Columbia Pictures. Their independent label, Tri-Star. Pictures, took over the project. Although they were only willing to invest 15 million US dollars, it was far beyond the promise. Pull as expected.

Afterwards, the movie encountered difficulties in the selection of actors. All the actors Nora liked declined the invitation. Obviously, the actors did not have enough confidence in such a love work. So far, she still doesn't know where her hero and heroine are. Launching is even more distant.

"Would you laugh at me if I said it was because I believed this kind of love is magical?" Hugo's words made Rob and Joseph chuckle, but Nora didn't say anything. She looked at Hugo more than once. "I mean, love is a very magical thing, it connects two people who don't know each other closely. Some people fall in love because of their appearance, and some people fall in love because of their character, Some people are because of the sound, some people are even because of a detail - like a finger or a collarbone or something, and again, some people are because of the feeling."

Hugo's words kept Joseph and Rob smiling all the time, and Nora's cheeks involuntarily drew an arc, which seemed very comfortable.

"Nora, I don't think you chose to shoot this movie because it's a good movie." After Hugo finished speaking, a rhetorical question suddenly came.

Nora pursed her lips and said seriously, "No, it's because I want to believe that in this era in this society, such a pure love can come from a spiritual fit."

"Me too." Hugo showed a gentle smile, "I hope to play this role, not because it is easy to succeed or can bring me box office and popularity, but because I believe this role can bring me new challenges, At the same time, I also believe that such a story is magical and can move me and the audience.”
