Chapter 670 670 Vase Bondage

After a while, Cheryl drove over. After Sandra got in the car, Cheryl said to Hugo with a smile on her face, "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." This sentence seems meaningful. , on the surface it said "speed of life and death", but the hidden meaning was revealed in the little action of Cheryl peeking at Joseph.

It seems that the Creative Artists Agency still has plans. Hugo and Joseph can't help but glance at each other. It seems that the fight between the two of them at the "Schindler's List" celebration banquet has been leaked out.

After watching Cheryl drive away, Joseph said in a low voice, "There's still no movement from Tracy."

"This is the most sensible choice, isn't it?" Hugo tugged at the corner of his mouth and responded with a smile.

In fact, Tracy is a very smart woman, with scheming and patience, otherwise she would not have come to this position. The most sensible choice in the current situation is to do nothing, otherwise Tracy will only get burned. So, now Tracy is not doing anything, this is the normal state. But Tracy, who lost her mind because of love and turned into a queen of revenge, can't give a definite answer to whether this control can overcome her anger.

Samora drove over. After Joseph and Hugo got into the car, Joseph said, "It seems that your cooperation with Sandra today feels very good."

"I'm also surprised." Hugo nodded slightly. He has also made a few movies now. This is the first time he felt this kind of tacit understanding when he first cooperated with an actress, which also kept Hugo happy. A smile appeared on his face, "I think, maybe the filming of the movie will be a good experience." Originally, "Life and Death" was an adrenaline-stimulating popcorn movie. A pleasant partner is indeed a source of anticipation, "You were called back just now, what's the matter?"

"Oh, the crew wants to start filming in February, and asked me how the schedule is going." Joseph replied quickly, "You know, next Grammys, Oscars, and the band's new single, they are also worried about the schedule being too full, So want to discuss it with me, but I also need to check with Henry and plan to call them back later."

"Since the time is so tight, you can call Carl first, talk about Alex, and say hello to them." Hugo immediately felt the sound of the second hand ticking in his ear, and Hollywood seemed to be the A tight instrument, proceeding in an orderly manner, even though filming is about to start next week, the preparations for this week are still in an orderly manner. Hugo is only involved in the actor part, so he is still full of admiration for the operation of the whole machine.

Joseph was used to it long ago, and he was not nervous at all, "Where is O? Did you call him?"

Hugo nodded, "No problem." He touched left and right, but he couldn't remember where he put his phone. He took out the bag where he usually put things and looked for it, but he couldn't see it. He couldn't help but say in confusion. , "Is my phone in the coffee shop?"

Samora, who was driving, laughed, "You forgot? I've been holding it. The phone is in the passenger seat."

Hugo immediately stood up, looked over with the probe, and sure enough, he saw his mobile phone, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But Joseph sat next to him and laughed while making a phone call, "Don't tell him so quickly, just make him worry."

Hugo picked up the phone, turned around and glared at Joseph, but he had no choice but to sit down depressed. But Joseph ignored Hugo and chatted with Carl on the other end of the phone. Joseph briefly explained the situation. The two only chatted for a few minutes, and Joseph hung up the phone. "Alex's schedule Don't come."

Joseph looked at Hugo and explained, "The winter break is over, and Alex has to start shooting every week like going to work. Carl does have plans to take movies for Alex now, but 'happy' The family' must not be abandoned, so there will only be a gap after the end of the season in May."

Hugo nodded to show his understanding, "But, is Leo too young? He also played a child in 'A Different Sky', if he participated in the 'Speed ​​of Life' crew, he would You must play an adult police officer." Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help scratching his head, "Sure enough, choosing an actor is not an easy task."

"You're just recommending people. The real situation is up to the two of them to discuss, and the decision is not in your hands." Joseph felt that it didn't matter, and he woke up Hugo with a single sentence, causing Hugo to nod again and again, "Then I will first Give Leo a call, maybe he doesn't have a schedule, and it's useless for me to think about it here."

After dialing Leonardo's phone number, he answered the phone faster than Hugo imagined. Almost as soon as the phone was dialed, a voice came from the other side, which startled Hugo. What the hell, are you answering the phone too fast?"

"I was taken aback by you. I was about to call you, and your phone came over. I was so scared that I almost threw the phone out." Leonardo was also in shock on the other end of the phone. , making Hugo chuckle.

"Why did you remember to call me?" Hugo asked with a smile.

After Leonardo calmed down, his voice rose immediately, "I heard that you had a fight with your agent. It looks serious, are you alright?"

Sure enough, Hollywood is a besieged city riddled with holes. Even if it wasn't from the crew of "Schindler's List", the staff of the Hilton Hotel witnessed the scene that night, so the news couldn't be stopped at all. Hugo didn't worry at all and laughed, "It's alright, it's just a smoke bomb. You know, someone has been targeting me all the time, so it's up to the other party to seize the opportunity this time."

"Oh... that's the case, I'll just say it." Leonardo suddenly realized, but he didn't ask further, as long as Hugo was okay, he was relieved, "What about you? What are you looking for?"

"I picked up an action movie, and there was a role vacancy in it, I wanted to see if you were interested." Hugo said simply, "This is a very small role, there are not many lines and scenes, he and the male The protagonist is a partner, but the director asked me if there was a suitable candidate to recommend, and I thought of you."

"This sounds like a very bad character." Leonardo's exclamation made Hugo laugh, but Leonardo himself also raised a smile, "However, Hugo, you If you are willing to take over this work, it shows that it is still attractive."

"I'm not sure if it's because my invitation is the male lead..." Hugo's ridicule suddenly made Leonardo laugh out loud.

"Yes, yes, the male lead should be a lot more interesting." Leonardo also echoed, "This is an action movie? I'm actually curious, why would you be willing to take on a commercial movie, you know, This type of film has almost zero acting skills.”

"But it is of great help for the training of skills." Hugo's laughing ridicule once again triggered Leonardo's laughter, "Actually, this is not the first time I have taken a commercial shoot in the past two years. The movie, 'Sleepless in Seattle,' remember? Strictly speaking, 'The Hero of the Sea' too."

Hugo himself was also very relaxed, and he joked with Leonardo with a smile, "I know what you mean, we all have a pretty face." This not only made Leonardo laugh, but even Both Joseph and Samora in the car laughed outright, and Hugo himself also showed a bright smile, "So you are worried that acting in commercial movies will limit our future development."

"That's it, you know, once the image of the vase is determined, it's not that easy to change it. People will always bind this frame to you." Leonardo restrained his smile and said seriously. .

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Hollywood. The predicament of Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts and others is also very common among male actors. Leonardo, who is on the phone with Hugo, is one of the typical victims in the future. , A "Titanic" made him famous all over the world, but it also made him despised for the next ten years. Even if he devoted his wonderful acting skills, he would still be ignored by academics.

The same typical situation also occurs with idol-turned-actors, such as Mickey Rourke, and Matthew McConaughey (Matthew. McConaughey), who first appeared on the big screen as idols and handsome boys. , After being silent for many years, they finally appeared in front of the public with their outstanding performances. While their acting skills were generally praised, it was not so easy to get a trophy to be recognized.

The vase is not only an image, but also a shackle, imprisoning the actor in a cage, and it is difficult to escape the shackles. Charlize - Theron, Nicole - Kidman, Julia - Roberts and others all played ugly in the movie, and finally won the Oscar.

If it was a year ago, Hugo would have a similar idea, because this is the most common idea in Hollywood, even a social concept; but now, with the advancement of time and the accumulation of hardships, Hugo has Different thoughts, "Have you ever thought that the so-called image of the vase is indeed the shackles tied to you by others, but over time, you have believed this yourself, and then put the shackles on yourself, and finally unknowingly. In the middle, you can't get out yourself?"

Hugo's words not only silenced Leonardo, but even Joseph and Samora slowly restrained their smiles and fell into thinking.
