Chapter 7 007 Cynical Sarcasm
Hugo walked to the elevator entrance and looked at the number displayed on it. It changed from four to three. Hugo's brows couldn't help but gather in the middle. He looked to the sides, and then he saw the elevator door. The huge Arabic numeral "five", Hugo immediately knew that he was an oolong.
The audition was on the third floor. When he came to the fifth floor, he couldn't find anyone, but unexpectedly met Brad. Hugo recalled the embarrassing incident of breaking into the lady's bathroom by mistake last night, and patted his forehead whimpering, really confused. Hugo hurriedly took the elevator again, and after confirming that he pressed the third floor, he closed the elevator door and slid downstairs.
As soon as the elevator door opened, it was different from the coldness on the fifth floor. A low noise came from the right side. Hugo walked out of the elevator and saw the lively scene in the corridor. Obviously, this was the audition scene of "Dahe Love". There are not many people who came to the audition today, and there are less than 30 people. As Joseph said, this is for the main role. It is not a large-scale public interview. It is estimated that you can get an interview opportunity. All of them are actors who have brokerage companies.
Hugo stepped out of the elevator and looked around curiously, trying to see familiar faces from the crowd, as if seeing Brad Pitt. Hollywood, twelve hours ago, was a distant country for Hugo. It seemed like two worlds. The only contact between him and Hollywood was the two ends of the big screen, and there was no intersection at all. Now, Hugo standing in Los Angeles, standing at the audition site for "River Love", standing in the golden 90s of Hollywood movies, it is too incredible.
"Yo, isn't this Hugo Lancaster, who just won the Golden Raspberry Award." A greasy voice interrupted Hugo's novel vision. When Hugo turned around, he saw a man about five feet eight inches tall. , The man with shoulder-length blond straight hair walked towards him, "'Thank you, thank you so much, our dream has finally come true'." The man imitated Hugo in the golden raspberry with an exaggerated expression The acceptance speech at the award ceremony.
"George, no, you forgot to write it in the newspaper, but Hugo said the first 'thank you' while crying. It couldn't be said in pieces. You said it too smoothly. The black curly-haired man walked forward and stood beside the first man, also with a playful smile on his face, winking at Hugo, like a beast trainer who teased monkeys in a circus.
Hugo looked at the two clowns in front of him. He knew that the news of the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony last night would definitely not be able to hide from the public, but he originally thought that it was the early 1990s, and the Golden Raspberry Awards had not attracted so much attention. High attention, there is no live TV, and the Internet has not yet risen, so the speed of news spread is not so fast. But now it seems that the news highlights of last night have obviously been buzzing this morning.
"I'm sorry, you are..." Hugo showed a polite smile, the gentleman said politely, but a sentence made the two people in front of him choked immediately. The meaning of the words couldn't be more obvious: where are you? The cats and dogs that came out, what qualifications do you have to comment on me?
The blond straight-haired man's expression changed immediately, and he roared irritably, "You don't deserve to know who we are, but you have been nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award three times in two consecutive years. You should know how bad your acting skills are, really. Shame."
The black curly-haired man next to him also quickly echoed, "That's right, if it were me, I would hide at home and not come out, but I even came to audition. Even if I attend a rubbish awards ceremony like the Golden Raspberry Awards, I am still moved by winning the award. It's a shame for an actor to be overwhelmed, I feel ashamed for you, and we despise you on behalf of all actors."
After Hugo's time travel, he has not entered the state until now. Because of this one thing after another, his thoughts are still in 2014, but his soul has truly come to 1992, but today he is faced with these two things in front of him. The clown jumping on the beam, Hugo was suddenly happy, and the chaos caused by the crossing was full of humor at this moment.
"Why, are you envious?" Hugo was very sincere when he spoke, with a focused smile on his face, as if he was expressing his inner feelings sincerely, without any negative emotions mixed in, but his words were Angry people not pay for their lives. "I'm worried about Stallone. He didn't know how to feel when he heard your remarks on behalf of all actors."
"Want to compare to Stallone until you shoot 'Rocky'," the blond straight-haired man roared angrily, despite Sylvester Stallone's "First Blood" Works that are despised by professional film critics, but he has also filmed works like "Rocky" that won the Oscar for Best Picture and was nominated for Best Actor, not to mention that "Rocky" cost a million dollars to get one. A feat of 117 million US dollars at the box office, "Actors still have to talk about their works after all. Besides a 'Dead Poets Society', what other works are you worth mentioning? No, not at all!"
Hugo's eyes widened unexpectedly. He didn't know that this body had appeared in "Dead Poets Society" before. I remember seeing my face now appearing in the cast of the "Dead Poets Society", if you have a chance, you can look it up and take a look. But now is not the time to wake up his memories, he paused for a while, and then replied, "Yes, I only have one 'Dead Poets Society', so I don't know what your masterpiece is...?"
At this time, most of the people around were focused. The voices of the blond straight-haired man and the black curly-haired man were too exaggerated, interrupting everyone who was preparing for the audition. Coupled with the lively nature of people, I looked over involuntarily. When they saw that Hugo Lancaster was in the midst of a dispute, people suddenly realized that today's "Los Angeles Times" front page headline is definitely the focus of people's relish, whether it is the first in the history of the Golden Raspberry Awards. The actor who came to accept the award in person or the weeping thank you speech was enough to make Hugo the best talk for people after dinner.
The people who came to the audition were naturally insiders. Everyone originally thought that Hugo would be stretched and embarrassed when facing the siege of two people. After all, the fact of the awards ceremony last night made people unable to straighten their waists and was ridiculed. It's very possible to get under the table after a while, which is why no one in the whole of Hollywood wants to attend the Golden Raspberry Awards, because it is an absolute shame.
But unexpectedly, Hugo's generous, neither humble nor arrogant response made the two people who took the initiative to attack look in a hurry. Not only would people not laugh at Hugo, but they would be involuntarily affected by Hugo's positive energy. Especially when Hugo said the last sentence "I don't know what your masterpiece is", matched with Hugo's polite smile, everyone else at the scene burst into laughter - this sarcasm was obviously sent to these two anonymous actor's.
Although Hugo has some big nerves, he will make mistakes of going to the wrong bathroom and pressing the wrong elevator floor. He always wears a sunny smile and looks like a big boy who is easy to get along with, but this does not mean that he is a big boy. Stupid, he will not be ashamed and run away when he is bullied, on the contrary, he will fight back in his own way!
The two men were suddenly embarrassed by Hugo's counterattack. They originally wanted to ridicule Hugo, but they couldn't get away with stealing chickens. Amid the shrill laughter around, the black curly-haired man held back. After a long time, I said, "Maybe 'Dahe Love' will become my masterpiece!"
"Yes, 'Love in the River' will be my masterpiece." The blond straight-haired man also said hurriedly.
Hugo nodded meaningfully to show his understanding, but then added, "You guys are so confident?"
"Of course, anyway, the person who succeeded in the final audition will definitely not be you!" The blond straight-haired man couldn't wait to chase after him. It looks like Hugo leaves in dismay. The black curly-haired man also kept nodding in agreement beside him, his expression obviously brighter.
Hugo did not refute this sentence. Although he did not have full confidence in himself, at least he would try his best to try it once. As for the result, it is not within his control, because the right to speak is no longer on him, and the same right to speak. It will not be on the body of the two nameless soldiers in front of him, so there is no need to refute this sentence.
"Then "Da River Love" will be the representative work of the two of you?" Hugo nodded to show that he understood the meaning of their words, but he threw another bomb.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two men suddenly turned ugly, and the two looked at each other. Indeed, the role of the first male protagonist, Paul, is wanted by everyone, but there is only one position, so who will play it? The two of them are also rivals.
Many of the bystanders burst into laughter again. Everyone felt that Hugo was really a wonderful person. Not to mention the excited speech at the Golden Raspberry Awards, just to say that today's funny counterattack is enough to make people have it. Good day.
Hugo stepped forward to pass the two men and join the other auditioners, but after taking one step, he stopped again, turned around and asked, "By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know your names. Excuse me, who are you?" This question was completely rubbing salt on the wounds of the two, and the name of the unknown person was completely pressed on the foreheads of the two.
The blond straight-haired man immediately yelled angrily at Hugo's back, "My name is George. Wood! His name is William. Stone!"
"Wood, Stone..." Hugo repeated while nodding his head, "Wood, stone, very good, nice to meet you." Hugo waved his right hand politely, Then turned and left.
No matter how polite and calm the words sounded, there were thorns in them, but the two of them had no way to refute them, so they could only watch Hugo with a brisk pace as he walked towards the front of the corridor.
