Superstar

Chapter 15: Pie comes

Hugo raised his eyes from the script in front of him. The dense English letters on the script made Hugo a little headache. This reminded Hugo of the bleak years of English reading and comprehension in junior high school, but it is better than reading. : He is now a native English speaker. Although his memory is still only partially integrated, there is no problem in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English.

  It’s just that, every time I read the script for a period of time, Hugo will find it amazing. Even if he has experienced such an unthinkable thing, he still finds it unbelievable.

The news of the failed audition for "Dahe Lian" was confirmed the next day. Even though the media's main focus was on the 49th Golden Globe Awards, there are still many media reports on the "Dahe Lian" male one. The news that Brad Pitt was selected at the end was for no other reason: because the new Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor, Hugo Lancaster, lost the selection. This made Hugo quite dumbfounded.

   Although he failed the interview, Hugo did not feel depressed for too long. He realized that maybe this time crossing was really his chance. If he gave up after only one failure, it was definitely not his style. What's more, as long as he recalled the joy and happiness he was immersed in the performance during the audition for "Dahe Lian", Hugo was unwilling to give up, but this was the moment he had always dreamed of before crossing, how could he willingly miss it. This is the decisive factor for Hugo's revival!

   Joseph said before that there are still many audition opportunities waiting for Hugo, which is obviously deceiving. Although Hugo's current situation in Hollywood is not infamous, there is no doubt that producers must be more cautious if they want to use Hugo. And Joseph also knew that after three consecutive failures, Hugo’s next work must be selected carefully. If it fails again, perhaps Hugo’s career as an actor will truly come to an end temporarily.

   Therefore, after the audition for "Dahe Love", Joseph got busy and was always trying to find a suitable audition opportunity for Hugo. Unfortunately, without the help of Ron Meyer and Tracy Jacobs, Joseph's power is indeed limited, and the opportunity is naturally not so easy to find. Fortunately, this also gives Hugo a buffer opportunity to get used to the local life in Los Angeles.

   Joseph is indeed a very capable agent. Although he is a rookie, he is excellent in both his wrist and mind. He did not let Hugo wait too long and got a very good audition opportunity. Under the current circumstances, this is not easy, and when Hugo saw the script that Joseph brought him, he was surprised, which is even more rare.

   This time, the script that Joseph brought is the small-cost work "Scent. Of. A. Woman (Scent. Of. A. Woman shot by Universal Pictures, one of the eight largest film companies, with a budget of 10 million U.S. dollars.

  "Scent of a Woman" is a remake of the classic Italian film "Scent of a Woman" in 1974. The film tells the story of a prep school student serving as an assistant to a grumpy blind retired military officer. The original film pays more attention to the past life of the actor, Lieutenant Colonel Slade, but the remake version of the script pays more attention to the relationship between the characters.

The screenwriter of the classic movie "One. Flew. Over. The. Cuckoo's. Nest" who once wrote "Flew over the lunatic asylum" (Bo. Goldman) puts the perspective of the adaptation of the story on a young student In his body, through the changes in the relationship between this student and the lieutenant colonel, the true meaning of the story is revealed step by step.

   The "Scent of a Woman", which is still in the preparation stage, has actually attracted the attention of many people, because the producer has found the famous Al Pacino (Al. Pacino) to play the leading actor Lieutenant Colonel Slade.

Al Pacino’s third work after becoming an actor is "The Godfather", which has always been known as one of the best films in history. In this work, he and Marlon Brando (Marlon. Brando) ) Starring in a rival drama didn't fall behind, and won the Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. After that, Al Pacino relied on "Conflict (Serpico, "Godfather 2", and "Dog. Day. Afternoon" to be nominated for the Oscar actor for three consecutive years. He also relied on his explosive power. His performance became one of the most outstanding actors in film history, and he was named the fourth of the seventies alongside Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, and Jack Nicholson. Talented actor.

After entering the 90s, although "Dick. Tracy" once again brought Al Pacino an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, the "Godfather 3" dog-tailed mink still disappointed many people, it was not. Saying "The Godfather 3" is really so bad, but in the face of the glory of the first two parts of the series, the third part is really hard to match.

Prior to this, Al Pacino had been dead for four years because of the "Revolution" investment of 28 million U.S. dollars and only received less than one million U.S. dollars at the box office. After his comeback in 1989, "Midnight" The success of "Sea. Of. Love" and "Extreme Detective" still did not allow Al Pacino to return to his true peak. Now facing the criticism of "Godfather 3", Al Pacino’s reputation is indeed true. It's not as good as it was ten years ago.

Therefore, when Al Pacino took over the role of Lieutenant Colonel Slade in "Scent of a Woman", the response in the news media was very limited. People are still conservative about Al Pacino's revival. the opinion of. Universal Pictures only put out a budget of 10 million U.S. dollars, which can also show their cautious attitude.

But even so, the combination of Al Pacino and Beau Goodman, coupled with the filming of "Midnight Run (Midnight. Run Martin Brest (Martin. Brest) is still very much to look forward to. . Especially for actors, if they can play the role of Charlie, a middle school student in the movie, and play against Al Pacino, this is definitely a rare opportunity.

   Charlie is required to be twenty to twenty-five years old, with a humble, polite and gentle student temperament. The appeal of this to young actors is beyond doubt. Hugo did not expect that Joseph actually got him an audition opportunity for the film "Scent of a Woman". It was a huge surprise.

   Although the attitude of the news media is relatively conservative, Universal Pictures is also cautious, but Hugo, the soul who has passed through, knows exactly what a precious opportunity to "smell a woman".

The most commendable thing about "Scent of a Woman" in the future was naturally Al Pacino's wonderful performance, which also made Al Pacino finally get the Oscar winner of the Golden Man after six consecutive defeats, and the movie He also won nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay at the Oscars. More importantly, this movie's box office results are also very good, and it is definitely a rare classic.

In "Scent of a Woman", although Charlie is only a supporting role, his role is not weak. It can even be said that he is almost indistinguishable from Lieutenant Colonel Slade. It is just that the core of the narrative is in Lieutenant Colonel, which makes the protagonist, The supporting roles are divided into primary and secondary roles. Charlie's role is naturally not as difficult as Lieutenant Colonel Slade, but there is also a lot of room for the struggle and transformation of the character's heart.

If you can play "Scent of a Woman", for Hugo, this is not only a breakthrough in the career of an actor, but the most important thing is that he can play against Al and learn more from this great actor. Things, the appeal of this movie is enough to make Hugo start to boil with blood.

When Hugo got the script of "Scent of a Woman" from Joseph, he was almost so excited that he almost exposed himself in front of Joseph. At this moment, he felt so deeply how this crossing was. This is a rare opportunity. He not only traveled, but also came to 1992 with the knowledge, vision, experience, etc. until 2014. This also means "opportunity for other actors to be met but not sought." "Luck" can be easily achieved in Hugo.

What Hugo has to do is not to wait for the pie to fall from the sky to hit him, but to aim at the opportunity that suits him, and do his best to seize it. Now for Hugo, the opportunity is no longer a problem, his talent, his sweat, his Persistence is the key to success.

After getting the script, Hugo began to prepare for the audition for "Scent of a Woman". Joseph has already done his job as an agent, and he is still tirelessly seeking more audition opportunities. It depends on Hugo's efforts. UU reading www. uukanshu. com

About ten minutes’ walk from Joseph’s house, there is a Starbucks (Starbucks) at the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard (Santa. Monica. Boulevard), which is located in the shade of the boulevard. Hugo walks to the door of this Starbucks every day to read. script.

The home of the two bachelors was in a mess, and the environment of Joseph’s house was really not good, so Hugo simply went to the open and stretched space outside Starbucks to read the script while enjoying the sun and relaxing. Mood is indeed a good choice.

Today, Hugo still came to Starbucks early as planned and occupied a double seat outside, and then began to read the script. This time, compared with the rush of "Dahe Love", there was enough time for Hugo to prepare, so he hoped Reading the script carefully is not to appreciate it as an audience like watching a movie, but from the perspective of an actor to truly appreciate the relationship between the plot, lines, and characters.

   Hugo hopes to take the role of Charlie, his desire is stronger than ever, so he will definitely go all out!

After reading the script, Hugo stretched his waist greatly and stretched out his stiff back. From the corner of his sight, he saw a young man in sunglasses chasing a young girl by the side of the street. The girl's expression hidden behind her hair looked very impatient, and she kept shaking her hand to refuse, but the young man was unwilling to give up and chased after her.
