Chapter 925: 925
"This must be one of the protagonists of today, Miss Diaz." David Geffen smiled gracefully at Cameron, the most powerful gay in the United States naturally faced this kind of social situation. Like a fish in water, he not only did not ignore Cameron, but also chatted with Cameron with great interest. Instead, he completely placed Hugo, who was a supporting role today, as a "foil".
This alone can see the city government of David - the praise part, I didn't ignore Cameron because she was an unknown newcomer, and she didn't deliberately because Hugo was the hottest actor at the moment. Pursuit - even if Rick and others speculated before that David and Steven Spielberg consciously wanted to befriend Hugo, David still did not lose his sense of proportion, this calm and control is enough See his old ways.
Of course, it is not ruled out that David became friendly with Cameron because he noticed the close relationship between Cameron and Hugo. But in any case, at least on the surface David did not have any rudeness.
Listening to the chat between David and Cameron, Hugo realized that "Geezes in Disguise" is a work produced and distributed by New Line, and David is currently very close to Warner Bros. "Interview with the Vampire" is Warner Bros. was in charge of the distribution, and New Line was acquired by Warner Bros. last year, so he made a special trip to cheer on the "geeks in disguise" who received less attention.
"So, do you have any vacation plans recently?" David and Cameron were talking about the beach and waves in summer just now, and he quietly included Hugo in the conversation.
Hugo has always had no resistance to the sea and the sun, and his expression was very relaxed, but he shook his head, "Recently, I am preparing for the second album, and it is difficult to take a short vacation in a short period of time."
David raised his thick eyebrows, his simple and honest face showed a slightly thoughtful look, and then suddenly realized, "It seems that the success of this tour is far beyond imagination, countless fans should be looking forward to your new show. Album." David apparently linked the "Road to Glory" tour with the preparation of the new album. "It seems that you are destined to have no time to rest this summer."
Hugo chuckled lightly, "I think I should be thankful that there is still a job waiting for me, instead of complaining about too much work. People who have experienced unemployment are always sensitive to these things." Hugo was teasing himself. During the low period a few years ago, I could not get a job for more than ten months.
Hugo's self-deprecation made David also laugh out loud, "It's natural, it's just a pity, I was looking forward to being able to cooperate with you, but now it seems that this year is going to be missed."
One moment he was talking about vacations, but the next moment he talked about cooperation. Hugo was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that David was talking about "visiting vampires at night", and the point was that David turned the topic off. It's not abrupt at all here, and it's really old-fashioned.
"You mean 'Interview with the Vampire', right?" Hugo spoke more straightforwardly, without so many twists and turns, he understood and said directly, "Actually, after I got this script from Rick, I was moved, and the role of Lester made me feel boiling. However, unfortunately, the tour schedule has been arranged for a long time, and I can only regret it."
Hugo is telling the truth. If it weren't for the grade conflict in "Road to Glory", Hugo would be very willing to appear in "Interview with the Vampire". This famous vampire movie's test of acting skills is bound to give Hugo a new experience. But this is life. It is impossible for Hugo to account for all the good things. The cooperation that was missed because of the schedule is definitely not the only one.
"Oh, man, you should have told me that our crew can wait for you to be in place." David sighed, but the surprise and joy in his eyes flashed, and he looked at Cameron , "A good actor is always worth the wait, isn't it?"
"Vampire?" Cameron didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, but he still grasped the point and looked up and down Hugo in amazement. With a fatal lure. Confused Hugo, this is really an irresistible picture.
However, Hugo's skin is a healthy wheat color, which is different from the fair skin of a vampire without any blood color, but it is a bit inconsistent. Other than that, just sketching Hugo's vampire image in his head was enough to make his heart beat faster.
Cameron didn't even realize that the smile on the corner of her mouth was fully blooming, "Wow, that's really... a sight that can kill all fantasies in seconds."
Hearing Cameron's exaggerated praise, David was stunned for a while, then looked up and down Hugo, and then laughed out loud. Instead, Hugo's cheeks got hot.
Cameron also realized that he seemed to be a little presumptuous, his cheeks were slightly red, and he avoided Hugo's sight in embarrassment, and quickly continued to say, "Then, I missed Hugo, which actor did the crew choose in the end?" In fact, Cameron also has nothing to say, just tuned. After playing with Hugo for a while, his mouth was dry and his head was a mess.
David fixed his sight on Hugo again. In fact, he really wanted Hugo to appear in the script of "Interview with the Vampire", not only for the sake of closer relationship, and not only because of Hugo's current appeal- - Of course, these are important reasons, but the main reason is that he thinks Lester is a very suitable role for Hugo, and Hugo can show Lester's charm vividly.
David contacted Rick three times before and after, but unfortunately he got a negative answer. Rick also made it clear that Hugo would temporarily focus on the "Road to Glory" tour. At the same time, Tom Cruise has been actively striving for the role of Leicester. David really can't refute Tom's face, so David didn't contact Hugo directly. Tom is signed.
As a top producer, David knows better than Hugo that collaboration requires timing.
"Cruise, in the end, the role of Leicester was played by Cruise." David said with a smile, while Brad Pitt played opposite Tom Cruise, and the casting process was There is a lot of fighting, and what is even more interesting is that the filming of the film officially started three weeks ago, and the shooting process is also full of sparks.
When "Interview with the Vampire" was presetting the actors, David identified Hugo. In addition, Johnny Depp and Daniel Day-Lewis are also candidates, but David still thinks Hugo is the most suitable .
Several other roles in the film are also highly competitive. The role of The Visitor was originally scheduled to be played by River Phoenix, but he died during the film's preparation stage, and David was in favor of Leonardo DiCaprio. came to take over the role, but Leonardo never agreed, especially when he learned that Brad was competing for the role of Louis, Leonardo made it clear that if Brad confirmed his role, he would refuse to appear in the cast.
Brad's agent Martin Baum became interested in the role of Lewis when he learned that Hugo was likely to play "Interview with the Vampire." Martin not only agrees with Hugo's vision for film selection, but also believes that Brad and Hugo's head-to-head confrontation can make his acting skills tempered. Of course, what is more important is the network forces behind David, which are also very important to Brad.
Martin went to great lengths to win the role for Brad, and it was an eye-opener for David.
However, in the end, Hugo did not take the role, but Tom got the role. At the same time, Brad also persuaded David to get the role. Naturally, Leonardo bluntly rejected the proposal. In the end, Tom and Brad played the two leading roles.
According to David's observation, Tom and Hugo seem to have a good friendship, while Brad and Hugo are in a competitive situation, which leads to some strange signs between Tom and Brad, and the competition is tight. Tension spread early.
Compared with Hugo, although Tom has also won an Oscar nomination and has received a lot of praise, his acting skills are indeed too stiff. Almost all insiders and audiences know that Tom Cruise's performance As soon as Shi was excited, his whole body was full of energy, as if all the muscles on the whole body began to exert force, the traces of the performance were too obvious, and each character was prone to have similar shadows when their emotions burst out.
If Brad and Hugo were playing against each other, then Brad would definitely have a lot of pressure, but now playing against Tom, the two are almost on the same level. While not giving way to each other, there is a strong sense of competition. Although Tom is now the top superstar, Brad has no stage fright at all, and the filming process for nearly a month is completely sparkling.
Of course, David likes this, which is bound to make "Interview with the Vampire" attract more attention. However, David didn't plan to tell Hugo in detail about these details. He didn't want to touch Hugo for a Brad. If Tom and Hugo chatted about it, it would be another matter.
"Cruise!" Hugo sighed and nodded, which was to be expected, "I believe he will be very suitable for this role."
Hugo was telling the truth, but David thought he was being polite, because Tom Cruise's decision to star in "Interview with the Vampire" was considered incomprehensible by many, mainly because of the huge difference in image. So David didn't care, just smiled, "I missed the cooperation this time, I hope I can have a chance next time, every time I hear Steven mention how good your performance in the crew is, I always I feel envious."
This is the first time that David has expressed this kind of friendly information since Hugo and David met several times before and after. Moreover, after missing the cooperation proposal of "Interview with the Vampire", this also made Rick's original speculation. confirmed. David does not focus on a certain work, but hopes to have more cooperation in the future. Perhaps, after the establishment of DreamWorks in the future, Hugo will appear at the top of the list of actors for many projects. A very interesting thing.
