Chapter 942 942 Invisible Audition

Soon Hugo knew who Roland was acting as the actor, Pierce Brosnan, which surprised Hugo. No wonder it is said that the creative artist agency has a vicious vision. Later, Hugo heard that Pierce was actually participating in the fourth-generation James Bond competition. At that time, he and British actor Sam. Neil (Sam. Neil) entered the game. The final showdown - Sam then starred in "Jurassic Park" and became famous all over the world.

But unfortunately, Pierce and Sam's agents were not strong enough at the time, so Timothy Dalton, who was affiliated with William Morris's agency, came in behind and took the role. After that, Pierce has been doing nothing while Sam walks into Steven Spielberg's Dinosaur Neverland.

Roland signed Pierce to his own in 1993, which made Hugo have to believe that Roland had been preparing for today's "audit" since last year.

Tom did intend to show affection to Hugo. He introduced two high-level executives of Lianmei Film Company for Hugo. Although Lianmei is now affiliated with MGM, they are also an independent department and still have their own factories. film; then took Hugo to meet the editors of The New Yorker and the San Francisco Chronicle—who were at the party in private today; and then met the head of the Los Angeles branch of CBS Television People; Hugo even chatted with the division manager of AMC Cinemas, the second largest theater chain in North America, and one of the oldest theater chain companies in the United States, United Cinemas...

It was only half an hour after Hugo arrived at the party, and he had already made a big circle, getting to know people from all walks of life in Hollywood.

In the entire operation system of Hollywood, production companies, media, theaters, TV, radio, public relations, brokers and other links are actually complementary to each other. A movie starts from the planning stage, and finally enters the videotape market and develops peripherals. , involves all aspects, and due to the maturity and standardization of the film market, the division of labor is becoming more and more detailed and specialized, so in the process of communication, the difficulty is also increasing.

Tom is expanding his network of contacts for Hugo. Thanks to his friendliness, Hugo's task tonight has far exceeded expectations. However, Hugo couldn't help but think of another thing: there didn't seem to be many people on this occasion today, and there were also some people scattered in the garden, living room, swimming pool and other places, but they did not add up to more than 100 people. Each is an important figure, and it's clear how much effort MGM has put into planning its comeback this time around.

If Hugo's memory is not mistaken, Pierce Brosnan will be the fifth James Bond this time around, and his first 007 film was "Golden. Eye", which was an excellent success. The box office performance of the film, and the media and audience ratings are also very good, so that James Bond, who left a four-year blank period, has once again become the most important existence in the film market.

Tonight's party may play a pivotal role in the "GoldenEye" plan.

Tom and Hugo chatted here, and Cameron chatted with the female companions under the guidance of Nicole. This is also the meaning of having female companions at the party, because the topics of men and women are very different, Hugo is like a duck to water here, but Cameron doesn't seem to be so smooth. After all, she is only attending such an occasion for the first time, and it has only been more than half a month since the official release of "Grangers in Disguise". Cameron Didn't fit into this circle at all.

Seeing Cameron's rather stiff smile, Hugo took the initiative to come over to help her out. Nicole was really relaxed in dealing with this kind of situation, so she also helped out in time, and the group of four came to the side temporarily.

Cameron didn't realize Hugo's thoughtful actions, because her brain still didn't have time to relax completely. She subconsciously leaned on Hugo's shoulder and let out a long sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to be too obvious. , lest his small actions reveal his confidence.

Seeing Cameron's small gesture, the Cruise couple wisely didn't break it. Hugo nodded slightly to Nicole to express his gratitude, and then smiled to divert their attention, leaving Cameron to relax. "So, I heard about your recent new work, how is it, do you feel everything is okay?" Tom is currently filming "Interview with the Vampire", these two days the crew is shifting the filming position, temporarily give them Two days off so Tom has time to come back to Los Angeles.

"I don't know, at least I personally feel pretty good, I just hope David doesn't hurt my self-confidence." Tom chuckled and teased, "I also hope you don't be too picky." Tom took the initiative and joked that he Snatched the role of "Interview with the Vampire" from Hugo, and made Hugo show mercy.

Hugo immediately raised his hand to express his surrender, "I haven't heard that you are picky about the situation of 'Yihai Xiongfeng', so I will obediently shut up." Hugo is saying that two people have a victory and a defeat, Hugo Taking Tom's "Righteous Sea", and Tom taking Hugo's "Interview with the Vampire", the two sides are even.

Tom was amused by Hugo's teasing, "At least you have a place to criticize me."

"Who knows? Maybe after the work comes out this time, I will only be stunned." Hugo said with a smile, making the Cruises laugh.

When Nicole was about to say a few words, because Hugo rejected the "whatever it takes" performance, in fact, Nicole was very optimistic about Hugo's role. But before she could speak, Steven Spielberg and David Geffen came over, and Nicole swallowed the words.

"Tom, you've kept Hugo long enough. I tried to talk to Hugo several times, but I missed the opportunity." As soon as David came up, he teased mercilessly, and immediately asked Tom to raise his voice. Holding the red wine glass in a surrender gesture, he pursed his lips and made a "please" gesture, as if to say "Hugo is yours", and then David also showed an "overdue" look.

Seeing this scene, Hugo immediately complained, "Hey, I'm here!" It made everyone laugh.

"Hugo, George has asked me about you twice, aren't you going to see the master?" Steven said with a smile.

Hugo knew that the so-called audition should be coming. Before that, when Tom took Hugo around, they were actually listening to all directions. The actors who came to audition for James Bond today are not sure how many actors there are, but Hugo at least saw Pierce Brosnan , George - Clooney, Liam - Neeson, Mel - Gibson, Sam - Neal, Hugh - Grant (Hugh. Grant), Lambert - Wilson (Lambert. Wilson), these people are with George - Lu Cass and the other two elegant producers chatted as if it were just socializing at a party, but that was clearly an audition.

Pierce and Sam are obviously because they entered the final list last time, and this time they are still the primary alternates; Liam is in the field of vision because of the popularity of "Schindler's List"; Mel Gibson is not currently in sight. Reached the pinnacle of his career, but he still made his name because of the "Lethal Weapon" series and other films. This summer's "Gambler Ma Huali" also achieved good results. He and Hugo should be considered the same type, because the image is close, the box office Those who have outstanding appeal and are listed as alternates.

British actor Hugh Grant is now a "British Lover", 1987's "Murris' Lover" made him an instant hit, and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" in March this year has been popular from across the Atlantic. In the United States, this work, which only invested 4.4 million, won a box office of 52 million in North America, and a global box office of 245 million, which caused a global sensation overnight. So he's also on the waiting list at MGM.

Lambert-Wilson is from France. This handsome French man was born in 1984 with the film "Femme. Publique, La", and then became famous all over the world with "Rendez-vous" , he has a pair of charming eyes and sexy temperament. This time across the ocean to Los Angeles, just to participate in James Bond's audition, it is obviously also prepared.

It was the appearance of George Clooney that surprised Hugo. Hugo thought he was dazzled at first, because Clooney now has curly hair like a judge's hood, which looks really old-fashioned and strange - even if The same is true by the aesthetic standards of the 1990s. However, Hugo didn't have a chance to talk to George, he just saw George flashed twice and then disappeared into the crowd, so he wasn't sure whether George came to audition - because at this time George was still a member An unknown third-rate actor.

Although Hugo has made a decision, it is imperative to meet George Lucas, which is also one of the important goals tonight, so he smiled at Steven and said, "It should be, It is very impolite not to say hello to the host, I still think about the next party." After that, Hugo looked at Cameron with a smile.

Cameron was a little tangled at this time. On the one hand, she wanted to accompany Hugo to continue to attend. This was her task as a female companion, and it was also the only way for her as an actor; The information came in, she felt quite tired at this time, and she was not sure if she and Hugo went there together, whether to help or cause trouble.

Hugo noticed the burnout between Cameron's eyebrows, and he also knew that today's social occasions are actually very tiring, because everyone's purpose is very strong, and the level is also very high, which is more difficult for people who are not suitable. It was torture, so he whispered to Cameron, "How about you stay here? Nicole will take care of you."

Cameron was a little hesitant. She felt that she seemed to have delayed Hugo a lot today, but Hugo still showed her an encouraging smile. He knew that Cameron had agreed in his heart, and then Hugo looked up. Nicole. Nicole didn't need to call at all, she took the initiative to say to Hugo, "I still have some questions that have not been answered just now. I wonder if Cameron can stay?" Wei made an explanation.

Hugo chuckled and nodded, "Of course, I think about foundation, lip gloss, eyebrow pencil, etc. Tom and I are really powerless." Everyone laughed.

Hugo hugged Cameron lightly, patted her on the back for comfort, and then walked towards the hall with Steven and David.
