Chapter 59 059

Alex is about five feet ten inches (one meter seven. eight), and his stature is slightly thin. His facial features are not the type of knife and axe, but the cute baby always has a smile on his face, which makes it easy for people to Feel good.

"So you're saying that you left your bank job and came to Los Angeles to seek acting opportunities because I fell in love with acting?" Hugo said with disbelief as he looked at the excited Alex in front of him. arrive.

Alex still couldn't suppress his excitement at this time. He was sitting five steps away from Hugo, as if he was worried that he would wake up from a dream if he was too close, and the joy between his eyebrows overflowed. , even more dazzling than the gesture, "Yeah. We always have to try something new, don't we? Life is so short, and it would be pathetic if there were no real dreams."

Hugo admired Alex. Although he ran away from home with his bandmates for ten years, they were young and frivolous children at that time. During the time of crawling and rolling, if Hugo said that he never regretted it, it would be a lie. He even thought more than once whether it would be much easier to live at the pace of his own family.

Unlike Alex in front of him, he gave up his stable job in the bank and resolutely left his hometown to devote himself to a illusory career as an actor. This kind of courage is not something that everyone can have. What's even more surprising is that Alex was actually inspired by Hugo - Hugo, who is currently only a second-tier actor in Hollywood, which is almost unbelievable.

This is the first time that Hugo has become curious about his predecessor. It is conceivable how talented his predecessor was, and he has created a world of his own in his actor career. He may soar to the sky at any time. He not only He is a vase with unlimited acting potential, and if he is given enough time, maybe he can become an excellent top actor. But the fetters of life cut off all possibilities.

"Then have you found a suitable job now?" Hugo looked at the sunny and candid Alex, and easily fell in love with him. He was a very friendly teenager, and his smile easily caught people's attention. Let go of your guard.

Alex shrugged helplessly, but there was still a smile on his face, and he didn't look depressed, "I haven't had a job for two months. Before that, I had guest roles in some TV series, such as 'Detective Hunter'. (Hunter)', 'SWAT 4587 (Wiseguy)', but nothing after that, does that mean they weren't satisfied with my performance?"

Looking at Alex's vivid expression, Hugo was immediately amused. He has also experienced this stage, but the supporting role or the role is not of much value to the crew, even if you play this time. , but the next time you change an actor, it won't have any effect, because it doesn't require too much acting skills, you can just find someone to play. Therefore, if you want to get more opportunities, you must have a good relationship with the crew, producers, screenwriters, field managers, etc., so that you will have the opportunity to play again in the future, which is also a breeding potential. A hotbed of rules. Opportunities are too important for new actors.

"Maybe your way of acting is too trendy, and they don't understand it." Hugo said solemnly, and Alex was still thinking about it seriously, while Joseph, who was standing beside him, was holding back his laughter until his stomach hurt. . "Oh, by the way, I live in the room inside, is there any problem?"

"Of course, of course." Alex jumped up immediately, like a spring, and sprinted into the inner corridor, shouting, "It's across from the bathroom, but It won't get wet, and the lighting is good." He tried his best to recommend this room to Hugo.

Hugo pursed his lower lip, nodded his head slightly, and thought seriously, and then said to Joseph, "Should I be worried about the problem that he will pounce at night?"

This serious question almost didn't make Joseph burst out. "You can pack your luggage here. I'll go upstairs first, and Carl will be coming soon." Joseph patted Hugo on the shoulder, revealing a pair of "I wish you good luck." Good luck" expression, and then he paced Shi Shiran away from the third floor.

"Hugo, do you need to add some furniture? I know there is a second-hand furniture market nearby, and there are a lot of things..." Alex walked out of the room again, stood in the corridor and asked Hugo in a loud voice When he arrived, but only halfway through, his voice stopped, and he asked hesitantly, "Or do you prefer to buy brand new furniture?"

Alex actually thought that what he likes does not mean that Hugo likes it. Maybe even if Hugo lives in a shared apartment, he still has to stick to his protagonist attitude. For example, if the furniture should be brand-new and luxurious, then His kindness could become a burden on Hugo, which made Alex hesitate.

Hugo looked at Alex's sincere and anxious expression, and showed a big smile, "Second-hand furniture is a very good choice, I need to buy a lot of things, it may take several trips to this market. .If you have time, you can take me there once, and I can go by myself after I recognize the way."

Co-renting means having to deal with roommate relationship issues. Although co-rental partners may not become close friends, at least don’t be blindly self-centered, because living in the same space will more or less encounter lifestyle habits. Differences, if you don't know how to compromise and adapt, then co-renting will only be a disaster.

Alex's friendliness and warmth - a little too warm, but Hugo doesn't feel repulsive, and he's more than willing to show his friendliness.

Sure enough, when he heard Hugo's affirmative answer, the smile on Alex's face immediately bloomed, "Don't worry, you have to go a few times, I can go with you, and I can help you carry some heavy objects. What?" Alex's worry was only for a moment, and he quickly returned to his usual sunny and cheerful personality, "Come on, look at what you need in the room, oh, yes, and the hall and kitchen , The furniture here is too small now, we can make a list and go to the market together to buy."

Just as Hugo was thinking about what kind of furniture he should buy to enrich his residence, Joseph's voice came from the door, "Hugo, Hugo!"

"Here, in the room." Hugo said loudly, but his eyes still stayed in his empty room. There was no furniture other than the mattress. Several huge moving boxes were placed in the middle, still the same. I didn't take it apart, but the problem is, even if Hugo is taken apart now, there is no place to put things. It's better not to take it apart and just leave it like this.

Hearing the footsteps of Joseph walking in, Hugo said, "Alex said that there is a second-hand furniture market nearby, you said we should go there today and see what furniture is there, or we will take it out. There is no place to put it.”

"We'll talk about this later." Joseph's breath was a little chaotic, which made Hugo turn his head in surprise, and saw Joseph's gasping appearance, it seemed that he ran all the way down from the fourth floor, "I, I Just got a call from Bo." This is about Bo Goodman, the screenwriter of "Scent of a Woman".

"There are still shots to make up later in the film?" This was Hugo's first reaction, otherwise the film has only been completed in less than half a month, and the post-production will definitely not end so soon, "Or Universal Pictures has confirmed the release time. ?"

Joseph shook his head. He didn't give up any further, and said directly, "Bo introduced you to a job. To be precise, it's an audition opportunity."

Hugo immediately became interested. Could it be that he is really going to start working recently? I originally thought that I would be unemployed for a while after "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", but now, the premiere of "The Final Analysis" achieved unexpected results, and then there was an audition. The aftertaste of the Golden Raspberry Awards seems to have finally passed, and Hugo's actor career is gradually showing a gratifying situation.

"It's like this. Bo and Martin were full of praise for your performance on the 'Scent of a Woman' crew. Later, Bo and Jack Nicholson mentioned it once." Bo Goodman once and Jack - Nicholson worked together on "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and the two are very good friends, "Jack also asked Al, and Al seemed to have said a lot of good things about you in front of him. Now Jack is preparing a new work, Filming is about to start, but the male lead has not been decided yet."

"Won't Jack play the leading role?" Hugo could not help but interrupted Joseph and asked, Jack Nicholson is still one of the best actors in the United States, there is no problem with him playing the leading role, so in the end What kind of work actually allows Jack to play?

"He thinks there is more room for supporting roles, and his age is more suitable for supporting roles. In short, the male lead has not been completely determined." Joseph said simply and quickly, "The crew and Tom Cruise are currently working Negotiations, but the contract has not been finalized, so Jack recommended you like the crew, thinking that you might be a good fit for the male lead."

"Tom Cruise?" Hugo heard the name and realized how rare this opportunity was, but how difficult it was at the same time.

Today's Tom Cruise is actually in his prime. He has become an American idol since he starred in "Top. Gun" in 1986, and then "Rain Man" and "Born on the Fourth of July." On. The. Fourth. Of. July)" has achieved great success, of which "Born on the Fourth of July" also earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, which can be said to be in the prime of his actor career. .

"Why, you have no confidence?" Joseph heard Hugo's voice full of doubts, and thought that Hugo was not confident enough about this competition.

But Hugo shook his head and showed a bright smile, "Before the producers make a decision, everyone has a chance, and it naturally includes me, isn't it? Look, the opportunity is here now. "
