Superstar

Ignoring the two jumping clowns behind him, Hugo took two steps forward, but his footsteps quickly stopped, because the other actors on both sides of the corridor who participated in the audition did not speak any more, but quietly looked at them with veiled eyes. Watching Hugo is as if Hugo did something shocking to the world—in fact, Hugo’s behavior at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood last night could indeed be called horrible. This look made Hugo feel as if his clothes were stripped. The same.

Hugo lowered his head and looked at himself. He made sure that the light gray shirt and khaki overalls were still there, and he pulled the straps of his trousers—this was the clothes specially prepared for the role of Paul in "Dahe Love". Coming to the side calmly, picked up a newspaper from the newspaper rack, leaned against the wall and read it.

　　 Originally, Hugo wanted to look for the location of the reception room, but thought that everyone was waiting in the corridor, so he found his own corner in the corridor. After Hugo started reading the newspaper without anyone else, the silence in the corridor was again broken by low voices of discussion. If everyone had a seemingly insignificant outside light continuously projected on Hugo, Hugo had a personal experience of what it means to be like a man on his back.

In the past, the members of the Glory To Death band would gather together to discuss how it would feel to be covered by a spotlight lantern and being watched by everyone. Hugo thought it would be a wonderful taste-he experienced one last night, but now I see it. Now, the focus of attention is not necessarily all good.

Hugo forced himself to focus on the newspaper and stop paying attention to other people's gossip, but seeing the front page headline of the newspaper in hand, Hugo couldn't help but laugh. This newspaper is the "Los Angeles Times"-yes, here. It is Los Angeles, and the newspaper with the largest circulation is naturally the "Los Angeles Times". The front page of the "Los Angeles Times" today is the 12th Golden Raspberry Awards.

The photo on the front page is of Hugo holding the golden raspberry trophy. The tearful look of embarrassment, even the winner of the Oscar statuette, can’t be compared with the "Los Angeles Times" black bold words "Thank you, dreams." Come true" is really ridiculous. Even Hugo himself couldn't help but laugh at this photo.

The Golden Raspberry Award is a very interesting translation. "Raspberry" is actually Raspberry. In slang, it means "disrespectful and disrespectful". It comes from the phrase "Blowing. A. Raspberry". It means a little bit of booing, which refers to making a mocking sound, which is to put the tongue between the lips, and then blow it up to make the tongue tremble and make a sound. The full name of the Golden Raspberry Award is "Golden. Razzie. Awards", which can't be found in ordinary dictionaries. It comes from the word "razz", which is a variant of slap and mockery, which means the same action. Therefore, the Golden Raspberry Award is not an "award" at all, but a mockery. The Golden Raspberry Award trophy is such a mocking Raspberry.

In the history of the Golden Raspberry Award until 2014, actors who are willing to attend the award ceremony to "receive the award" can count it with one hand, because this is a shame, no one wants to be the "worst acting award" Winner. As a result, Hugo’s gratitude last night became more and more ridiculous, and it’s no wonder that people’s reactions were so intense.

Look at the media represented by the "Los Angeles Times", look at the cynicism of the two stones and wood just now, and look at the whispering talks that everyone uses to lock on Hugo... Originally Hugo saw that the reporter was not too embarrassed last night I thought that the impact of the incident was not so serious, but it was clear that the reality ruthlessly shattered Hugo's dream, and even the negative impact was beyond Joseph's imagination.

Hugo let out a long sigh. Although he has decided to adapt to his current identity, and then tried his best to seize the opportunity of this crossing, the long road is long and difficult. Hugo feels that he has traveled from 2014 to 1992. The advantage seems to be less obvious.

Scrolling through the front page, Hugo tried to find the breath of the 90s from today's "Los Angeles Times". The severe economic crisis in the United States since the mid-1980s has been spreading, and the unemployment problem of white-collar workers has brought Hollywood singing and dancing into it. The Soviet Union announced the disintegration of Christmas at the end of last year, and the turmoil still severely affected the political structure of the world; coupled with the independence of Eastern European countries, the unification of Germany, the Arabs and the Israelis demanded direct negotiations...Hugo At last there is a sense of realism in the 90s. These messages have faded in the 21st century before he traveled. It seems to be a history of a few centuries ago, but now it is so real in the hands of Hugo. Of this newspaper.

When seeing the presidential elections of George Bush (e. Bush) and William Clinton (William. Clinton), Hugo couldn't help laughing. George Bush won the Gulf War to seek re-election, while William Clinton fought. The economic card seeks the upper position, and the competition between these two people has just begun. It turned out that 1992 was the presidential election year, and it was really a lively year.

　　 "Hugo, you are here." Joseph's voice interrupted Hugo's reading.

　　 Raising his head, Hugo found that most of his surrounding eyes had been closed, but there were still some people who kept looking at Hugo with playful eyes. Hugo was already a lot more calm at this time. Even he himself couldn't help but think of the embarrassment last night, so he couldn't blame others, "Is it done?"

Joseph gave a perfunctory "gratitude", and then quickly went on to say, "Today is considered an open audition, not a one-on-one interview with the director. You must not play a big-name temper and follow their instructions. Remember, this opportunity It’s very important to you, you must work hard. As for Brad Pitt or something, don’t worry and be yourself, okay?"

　　 Hugo opened his mouth to explain a few words, saying that he would not play a big deal, but soon realized that Joseph's worries must have been learned from the past, and he would just nod his head obediently to avoid exposure. So Hugo nodded, "I see."

"I just went to find out. Today, the director Robert did not come. Only the casting director Elizabeth was here. Jon Hutman (Jon. Hutman) came from the Screen Actors Guild." Joseph quickly confessed as he looked at it. The other actors who pricked their ears around to inquire about the news, this is the difference between whether to have an agent, and the contacts of an agent are very important for an actor.

"Elizabeth likes a tough guy like Kevin Costner (Dance. With. Wolvers) and'Bodyguard (The. Bodyguard)' are her choices. Director. So, in a sense, she doesn’t care too much about your golden sour berries." Joseph’s voice was very low and fast. For Hugo, who had just crossed over, she couldn’t be in the first place. After digesting it for a while, he could only force himself to memorize it mechanically.

Having said this, Joseph lowered his head and patted Hugo's abdomen vigorously. Hugo was startled. He involuntarily squeezed out his abdominal muscles, and then he heard Joseph lower his voice and say, "You will go later." Take a few sit-ups and squeeze your abs."

　　 "You are making me..." Hugo blurted out and asked in surprise. He didn't say anything afterwards, just pulled his shirt. Hugo knows that any industry has unspoken rules, and Hollywood is no exception, but he did not expect that Hollywood is not a "hidden" rule at all, but puts all these on the table.

Hugo's surprise instead made Joseph look over in surprise. He frowned and looked at Hugo as if looking at a stranger, "How come you are like a different person since yesterday." Guo directly closed his mouth, "It's not the first time for you." The second sentence made Hugo speechless.

"Jon is an old friend, but..." Joseph said right away, but he swallowed the rest of the words before he opened his head, and looked at Hugo meaningfully, making Hugo, who was unclear, wonder if he was right or wrong. It was exposed again, and he floated his eyes away in a daze, "Anyway, you can figure it out by yourself."

　　 After the explanation, Joseph pulled the script from Hugo's right hand, "Do you need me to help you match the scene? Which section did you rehearse just now?"

Hugo still knows this. There are many possibilities to participate in the audition, but for the actors who get the script, they will prepare a performance of the script content. As for whether they will use it by then, it depends on the preferences of the interviewer, "No need. , I'm ready." Hugo didn't want Joseph's help. It was because he hadn't digested Joseph's large content just now. He needed some time.

　　 As the silence fell, the memory in Hugo's mind began to be gradually awakened by Joseph's words. Elizabeth Rusti is today’s casting director, coupled with a representative of the Screen Actors Guild who attended to protect the interests of actors—that is, Jon Hartman. This is what constitutes an interviewer. This is also the reason why the hidden rules of Hollywood are very rare. The existence of the actors' union can protect the interests of the actors group to the greatest extent.

Elizabeth Rusti is very fond of actors of the type Kevin Costner. Although Kevin Costner won the Oscar for Best Director for his debut "Dancing with Wolves", he is also because of "Dancing with Wolves". Robin Hood (Robin.Hood:Prince.Of.Thieves and shortlisted for the worst actor in the Golden Raspberry Award, "Unfortunately" lost to Hugo this time. So Elizabeth Rusti would not care too much about Hugo's Golden Raspberry Award, and her preference is also obvious-strong chest muscles, distinct abdominal muscles and heroic spirit are probably the case.

As for Jon Hartman, the agent representative of the Screen Actors Guild, he was the representative of the trade union when Hugo starred in the audition for "Deadly Moment" and "Hudson Eagle"—Hugo realized this body at this time. I've actually acted in many big production male protagonists before, so Hugo and Jon can be regarded as acquaintances. But why did Joseph still say a "but" turning point, and still hesitate to say it? Is there anything tricky in this!

　　 "Hugo Lancaster." The call of the staff came, interrupting Hugo's thoughts, and quickly stood up straight from the comfortable posture of leaning on the wall.
