Chapter 335 335 Trivial Information

"'Happy Family', Christopher Elrod is the producer." Carr said directly, in fact, the part I really hesitated was very simple, it was to fix the location of the show. You know, only by getting more performance opportunities can more people know Alex, and at the same time, Alex can get more exercise. This time, if Alex auditioned, it was a permanent gig. However, I heard that it was a public audition, so I was a little hesitant. "

After Hugo heard the name of the episode, he always felt very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, the answer appeared in his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

The sitcom has a long history in the evolution of American television, having emerged in the forties as early as the 1940s, and continued into what Hugo knew as "The Big Bang Theory" in 2014. . Theory)", "Broken Girl (2. Broke. Girls)", "Modern Family (Modern. Family)" are among the best.

The nineties saw a peak for sitcoms that had their ups and downs, "Seinfeld," "Friends," "Will & Grace," "Everybody Loves Raymond." De (Everybody. Loves. Raymond)” and other series became popular and achieved an explosive response. After more than ten years of super popularity, the sitcom was at a low point for a long time after these series ended, because there was almost no The sitcom was able to surpass the peak of the nineties.

Of course, the reason why the 1990s became the pinnacle of sitcoms is because many wonderful dramas emerged during this period, and all the dramas collectively broke out before ushering in the heyday. Among these dramas, "Friends" is undoubtedly the most familiar drama in China, and it has won the most popularity. But in fact, among the most popular sitcoms in American history, "Friends" can only be ranked second, and "Seinfeld" is the champion. This is related to cultural differences, publicity channels and many other factors.

"Happy Family" is also such a drama that is ignored by domestic audiences. In fact, this drama can definitely rank among the top ten or even the top five in the historical rankings of sitcoms, and there are even many Professional critics thought the series was better than Seinfeld. However, due to objective factors such as publicity and aesthetics, Hugo, like many domestic audiences, had never heard of this series before.

Hugo knew about the series precisely because of its producer, Christopher Elrod. Christopher's production as a producer was limited, but the success of a "Modern Family" set made him remember his name and brought Hugo to the Emmy's seven best comedy series recipient of . Christopher relied on "Modern Family" to win best comedy series in 2010 and 2011, and before that, he relied on "Happy Family" to win five straight years from 1994 to 1998. "Friends" and "Seinfeld" took home Emmy trophies for best comedy series.

This shows the strength of Christopher Elrod, and also shows the excellence of "Happy Family".

Hugo had absolutely no idea that the series that made Carl hesitate was such an outstanding work, and if Alex could be a part of this series, it would be a great thing. It's just that Hugo doesn't have an actor named "Alexander-Lorraine" in his memory, so he's not sure if Alex will be successful. But then again, Hugo Lancaster has created a new world of actors of his own, and everything is possible.

"Karl, in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with Alex trying it out. You know, it's just an audition, and it's a public audition, and it's still unknown whether Alex will pass, and you're already starting to worry about it. The question of whether the series is suitable or not, you will have time to worry after Alex takes the role." Hugo persuaded, in fact, this is also consistent with his previous thoughts, the first episode of the sitcom The script really can't explain anything, the most important thing is creativity, which Hugo was deeply touched after watching the navigation set of "The Big Bang Theory".

"Really? You think Alex should try it?" Karl asked uncertainly.

"Carl, you're not deaf." Hugo said with a smile, "This is just an audition, you should give yourself a chance, and you should trust your own judgment. Carl, it seems that you've been under too much pressure recently."

Carl exhaled a long sigh, "Being a good manager is not easy, don't you think? I have the future of the artist in my hands, so I won't talk about dreams or anything like that. Yes, but this is their life and career. Whether it is a year or ten years, their career opportunities during this period are in my hands. If I am a bad agent, I may destroy a life. ."

Carl's heaviness made Hugo chuckle, "Carl, this is life, isn't it? You control their lives, so why don't they control yours? If we all think like you, always It's too tiring to rely on other people for the motivation of your life, think about yourself, stick to your definition of an agent, and I think, you will succeed." Karl, like Joseph, are excellent agents, they It just takes time to grow up slowly. Of course, managers, like artists, also need opportunities and a bit of luck.

"Yes, I have been under too much pressure recently." Carl rubbed his cheeks hard, "There has been more and more turmoil in the company's competition recently, and it seems that something bad has happened today; Fujin's state seems to be Not very good. I heard that he had a falling out with the band members again. He played drums at home several times at night, and the noise made me sleep uneasy. As a result, Ernst called the police. The police came here.”

"Haha, it's Ernst's character." Hugo couldn't help laughing, "The turmoil within the company doesn't have much impact on us, does it? Work is still work, and those who don't have work are still not working. ."

Although Hugo is now working with Steven Spielberg, his weight is still not enough. Even if Marvin Josephson wants to regain control of the company, he hopes that an agent will start to stand in the line. Xiami is also not taken seriously, no matter which team they stand on, it has little impact on the overall situation.

Of course, if there was no Golden Globe incident, Hugo would still have some influence. After all, the eight consecutive championships of "Yihai Xiongfeng" should not be underestimated. But now, Hugo, who was "isolated" in the European continent, naturally left this power struggle far away. When someone thinks of the incredible eight consecutive championships, it is estimated that the power struggle is coming to an end.

"I know, it's just that the working environment has become smoky, and there is always no way for people to settle down." Carl said helplessly, "If they let you stand in line, do you have any plans?"

"Let's hope Ron doesn't do stupid things." Hugo was saying that he would never be in Ron Mayer's team.

This made Carl laugh outright, but then realized that he was in the office, and quickly lowered his voice, "He did it once, you don't know if he will do it a second time."

"Then...welcome!" Hugo said jokingly, if Lang really took the initiative to come to the door, Hugo wouldn't mind rejecting him "righteously" once, but he was looking forward to the grumpy Lang in the end. What kind of expression.

"Hehe..." Carl was also amused by Hugo, he suddenly stopped and realized that he had another important thing to call Joseph. He had a good chat with Hugo just now, but he forgot. " By the way, Hugo, is Joe there? I have something to say to him."

"No problem." Hugo took off the receiver and shouted to the bathroom, "Joe, Carl's phone." As a result, Joseph walked out of the room, and Hugo realized, "We're talking on the phone. So long? You're done blowing your hair."

Joseph walked up to Hugo, took the microphone, and first said to Hugo, "You should go take a shower. It's time to get some rest. You'll have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow to film." After watching Hugo return to the room, Joseph Then he sat down and put the receiver to his ear, "Karl, what's the matter?"

When Hugo came out after bathing, he found that Joseph was no longer in the hall. Originally, Hugo thought that Joseph was going back to the room to rest, but when he walked through the hall, he found that Joseph was standing on the balcony smoking, which surprised Hugo. Joseph can smoke, but he is not addicted to smoking, so he rarely smokes, and more often he only smokes in social situations. Today, Joseph actually took the initiative to smoke, which is obviously something happened, Hugo couldn't help thinking of Carl's phone call just now.

Hugo walked to the door of the windowsill, and the footsteps made Joseph aware of it. After he looked back at Hugo, he raised his hand to stop Hugo and reminded, "I'm smoking." Hugo recently had to smoke because of the role. It aggravated his allergy symptoms. Although it was not as severe as shock, the redness and swelling of the skin was very worrying.

But Hugo didn't care at all, and pointed to the broad night sky outside, "The smoke has been blown away by the wind." Then he went straight to the balcony and stopped beside Joseph.

Joseph could only hurriedly put out the cigarette butt, "Why don't you plan to rest? You have to get up early tomorrow."

Hugo pointed to the cigarette butt that Joseph had just ended his "life" with, "I see you smoking, I should at least come over and ask." This made Joseph twitch his mouth and reveal a bit of a bitter smile, "No matter what happened. What's the matter, at least our friends are still around, this is something to be thankful for, isn't it?" This is also the most precious truth that Hugo has learned in his entire life. It's the same with the experience of the past year.

Joseph didn't speak, just let out a long breath, as if brewing, and then said, "Peter is in trouble again."
