Chapter 317
After watching Steven leave the bar, Hugo stood there and clenched his fists fiercely. It was hard to find an appropriate adjective for the surging joy in his heart. It all came too quickly.
I just came back from New York this morning. I just came out in the afternoon to meet Neil and Pedro, but I didn’t want to audition all of a sudden. The shock brought by Steven Spielberg is not over yet, he needs to invest Among a devil character who is completely opposite to his own personality, and then, the good news came.
All this seemed to be condensed in a moment, so Hugo had to savor it carefully, recalling the hearty performance just now, recalling the invitation that Steven sent to him at the end, this scene is so real but yet It's so unreal, it's so unbelievable.
"Hugo, what's the result?" Green sent Steven into the car, returned to the bar, looked at Hugo who was still standing still and didn't move, and asked expectantly.
Hugo raised his head and looked at Green in front of him. He had eager anticipation on his face, and the strong confidence flashing between his eyebrows was even firmer than Hugo himself. This is the beauty of being trusted by others. His emotions were released in an instant, just like a flood gate, and he immediately surrounded himself.
"I succeeded!" The smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth rose little by little, like a slowly rising sun, "I succeeded! I got this role, I was able to work with Spielberg, I It's a success!" The joy between the eyebrows and eyes was madly vented, and Hugo clenched his fists and shouted to his heart's content, venting his inner madness in the most direct way.
The guests in the entire bar looked over, and the smile on Green's face also touched the bondage, released completely, and then shouted, "Hugo is going to star in Spielberg's work! All drinks are free today! "
"It's on my account!" Hugo continued with a smile on his face, causing all the guests in the bar to raise their wine glasses, and congratulations came one after another. Hugo looked at Green and gave him a big hug, "I should thank you, thank you for bringing me this opportunity!"
"I brought you an opportunity, but you seized the opportunity yourself." Green pounded Hugo's back hard, expressing his inner joy in this simple and rude way, "I knew you could do it! You gave me more bragging rights in front of Steven."
Green's violent celebration was not over yet, and Neil and Pedro also ran over and gave Hugo a big collective hug, saying congratulations constantly. Regardless of whether they knew who Steven Spielberg was or how important this Schindler's list opportunity was to Hugo, they knew that Hugo earned it on his own. Work, that's what's worth celebrating.
However, Hugo did not stay at the Al Bar for too long, because he had to tell Joseph the news immediately, not over the phone, but face to face. Knowing how worried Joseph was recently, Hugo had been doing his best to find a better job opportunity for Hugo, only hoping to gain more chips for Hugo before Tracy's next attack came. But who would have known that the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows are dark and flowers are bright, and Hugo will actually complete a shocking reversal at the last moment, pulling his teeth out of Tracy's hands, and firmly grasping the opportunity of "Schindler's List" in his hands .
Joseph looked at Hugo with a puzzled face, "You mean, Green Hill introduced you to Steven Spielberg, and then you auditioned for 'Schindler's List', and finally you succeeded passed?"
Seeing Joseph's disbelieving expression, Hugo nodded with a smile on his face, "Joe, you've confirmed it to me for the third time, but the result is still the same, yes, I got the role!" After taking a taxi back home, the surging excitement was still undiminished, and Hugo's face always had that radiance on his face.
"Fuck him! Damn Jesus Christ!" After Joseph was finally confirmed, a series of foul words came out. His serious and stiff face suddenly became very exciting, and excitement was clearly written on his entire cheek. "So you're saying, we sent Tracy to hell? And Ron, and Brad and Martin?"
"Yes!" Hugo answered neatly, and then let Joseph clench his fists and growled, "Awesome!"
In the past few months, Tracy has been brewing a huge conspiracy to suppress Hugo. Since the Golden Globe Awards, Hugo's acting career has been in a haze state, making Joseph dare not dare. Relax. Even if Hugo filmed "Sleepless in Seattle", the situation still hasn't improved, not to mention the overwhelming pressure of meeting Tracy and Brad in New York last week. The dark clouds covering the sun have gradually dimmed Hugo's future as an actor.
But now, now Hugo has completed the ultimate reversal on the "Schindler's List" proposal that Tracy has carefully planned for a year. It can almost be said that he became a member of the crew under Tracy's eyes. , This is not only a severe blow to Tracy, but also an important counterattack for Hugo. This proves that Tracy has no ability to block Hugo in Hollywood; in addition, as Hugo said before, the work is the essential weight of the competition between the two sides, and now Hugo has won "Schindler's List" such as An important opportunity, and it is clear that Hugo is filling his disadvantage bit by bit.
Not any other work, but Tracy's desperate project "Schindler's List", Hugo's victory this time can definitely be called a fatal blow.
In addition to Hugo successfully becoming a member of the crew, some clues can be seen from today's events. Steven came to audition for Hugo, but Tracy still did not respond, which was enough to make people think, it is possible that Tracy became a producer member of "Schindler's List", but Steven still The one who has the right to speak, Tracy's power is very limited.
It's more likely that Tracy's becoming a crew producer isn't set in stone at all, which means anything is possible. If Hugo was on the set of "Schindler's List" and Tracy simply didn't make it, that's a real big win!
"Hugo, do you know what this means to us?" Joseph is no stranger to using the word "we". He and Hugo are a team, a team that works hard together. Doubtful, "Tracy took a hit, and ours won a chance, maybe the future will be very... very different!"
Joseph's mind was full of thoughts, and countless information rushed out, which made him in a state of extreme excitement. The original situation was that Tracy Jacobs entered the "Schindler's List" cast of producers and Brad Pitt became a member of the cast, then Hugo's current situation may be further mired in the mire; But now the positions of the two sides are reversed. Although it will not give Hugo the upper hand, Hugo can regain some of the advantages, which can also reduce the balance of power between Hugo and Tracy...
Just thinking about the countless possibilities made Joseph so excited he couldn't help himself. But at this time, Hugo's chaotic brain has gradually calmed down. Although he is still excited, nearly an hour has passed since he learned the news, and all the excitement that he should have has passed, so Hugo looked at Joseph, hehe. He laughed, "Joe, we shouldn't think about the future now, first of all, 'Schindler's List' is a work that is bound to fail in Steven's mouth, and the attitudes of other media are also very hesitant; Also, I'm an actor, audition is only the first step, it's the most important thing to do well during filming. So why don't we shift our attention from other people to ourselves and focus on ourselves at work?"
Joseph kept nodding his head, and his overheated brain finally cooled down, "Yes, yes, you said the point." Joseph stood there and began to think, putting aside whether "Schindler's List" would succeed in such an impossible situation. Not to mention the preconceived proposition, Hugo has more important things to do when he participates in this performance, "You must first do your job well, this role is not so simple, you, you are under pressure. "
Joseph looked up at Hugo, who raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm already worried."
"Then, working closely with Steven, it's a rare opportunity, I should move around more on the set." Joseph began to think about his own work, which is actually what Tracy has always wanted to join "Schindler "The List" the most important purpose of the crew, contacts! And the network is precisely Joseph's weakness, perhaps, this time is also an opportunity for him to make a breakthrough as an agent!
Improving yourself is the most important thing than defeating your opponent. Thinking of this, Joseph quickly restrained his turbulent emotions again, and kept telling himself to be calm and rational in the face of opportunities, otherwise it would never be possible to achieve success.
Looking at Joseph who had completely calmed down, Hugo knew that Joseph had already started to think about matters after joining the crew. An important opportunity like "Schindler's List" was an opportunity that Tracey, Lang and others were eager for, It meant more to Hugo and Joseph.
"Joe, we shouldn't think about what happened after we entered the crew, at least not today." Hugo looked at Joseph, whose expression became serious again, and said with a smile, "Your nerves are still too tense. I think, today We should have a blast, and when Charlize and the others come back, shouldn't we throw a party to celebrate? This is the best news we've had since the new year!"
"Yes, party! Yes!" Joseph breathed a long sigh of relief, his expression excited again, "Such an important victory certainly deserves a party! I should give Alex a call, he heard the party But I'm going to jump!"
