267 Attitude change
Uma looked at the "Variety" magazine on the table, almost every insider will subscribe to "Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" are also mandatory, these four newspapers and magazines play a vital role in the transmission of information in the entertainment industry, and any memorabilia and professional information can be found on it.
Therefore, Uma also knew about Hugo's joining the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle" for the first time.
Uma didn't realize that her eyes were on the phone, her mind was blank at this point, she didn't know what she was thinking, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that she seemed to be waiting for Hugo's call. But why? Isn't it all over in the first qiē, why does she still have a sense of anticipation?
The day before yesterday was Valentine's Day, and Uma originally thought that she would spend this holiday with Hugo, and even guessed what activities Hugo would prepare for her, but the changes in her life can never be predicted, and she ended up spending it alone. Moreover, on Valentine's Day, Uma also received a bad news, the opportunity to perform in "Sugar-Coated Trap", which she missed.
It's ridiculous and ironic.
For the sake of the so-called career, he deceived Hugo, and even ended the relationship, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty? So, what are you struggling for?
Uma couldn't help but think about what Hugo said at the time, "Maybe you haven't thought that there will be no conflict between feelings and careers, and I don't mind if you take over the 'sugar-coated trap'." This sentence kept swirling in Uma's mind, and Uma always thought uncontrollably: if she had chosen to be honest with Hugo, starting from New Year's Eve, maybe things would have been different. Maybe she can get the opportunity to perform in "Sugar-Coated Trap", and it is with Hugo; Maybe not, but at least she was able to keep the love.
But now, there's nothing. It seems that since then, Uma has always subconsciously looked at the phone.
And now? Hugo joined the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle", and she was empty-handed.
Uma forced herself to look away from the phone, and then told herself not to do it again, because she had her own pride, and she didn't allow herself to bow her head. Then Uma secretly told himself, "This is a bad work, this is a bad work...... It will fail, it will fail...... I didn't make a mistake in the first place, I didn't make a mistake!"
Taking a deep breath, and then a deep breath, Uma struggled to make herself strong and strong in her faith.
In the Los Angeles Times' office, Nicholas McLaen had been sitting in a sitting position for a quarter of an hour, his head still racing.
Nicholas knew that no one in the industry was optimistic about the prospect of "Sleepless in Seattle", and in addition to the fact that the script itself was considered a disaster, the low 'fans' of Megrion and Hugo were also very important.
Meg has starred in five movies in the past three years since "When Harry Meets Sally", but all of them have received mediocre responses, and those deviant roles are not suitable for her image, which has made her stuck in an awkward position, although she and Julia Roberts are tied for the most representative 'sex' sweethearts in the United States, but she and Julia have been very unsatisfactory in the past two years, Julia has almost disappeared from the big screen, and Meg's frequent performances have not been able to bring any further results. Meg is now stuck in the middle of the line, with no further chances, but slowly sliding at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, which is really not good news.
In such a situation, Meg's return to the 'wave' comic romantic comedy is considered a sign of regression, and at the same time, it is also a fixed image of herself in the position of sweetheart, and whether such a move can be successful, no one knows, most people are obviously not optimistic. Coupled with a Hugo who has never starred in any romance movies, such a partner is really worrying.
In fact, from an objective point of view, Hugo's handsome appearance is very suitable for romance movies, but it will also have the bad consequences of making Hugo considered a "'flower' vase".
So, Nicholas has to admit that he really doesn't look optimistic about the future of "Sleepless in Seattle", no matter how you look at it. But...... There's always a but.
But why haven't I been able to make up my mind to write this manuscript? Twenty-four hours have passed since I learned the news yesterday, why can't I even type a word? Nicholas asked himself. If you follow your previous habit, you can make a strong attack on Hugo's choice, and then wait for the movie to come out and watch the jokes, but what is different this time?
Nicholas recalled the bits and pieces of his several 'confrontations' with Hugo, before visiting the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'", Nicholas and Hugo had not met, and several times he wrote the news was negative news, so he did not show mercy to his subordinates, and reached the peak at the Golden Raspberry Awards, and his cynicism, laughter and scolding of Hugo won very good sales.
But the first official meeting between Nicholas and Hugo gave him a new understanding of the actor, positive, wise and humorous, gentle but sharp, but that time Nicholas still did not let go of Hugo, and still used Hugo to hype the news of the Golden Raspberry Award again, and the effect was still very good.
The disapproval before the release of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Female' People" and the praise after the release, the support before the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and the praise after the release are actually relatively objective, there is no special favoritism, purely from the heart, Nicholas still prefers to continue to ridicule and ridicule. This wish was fulfilled in the Golden Globe Celebration Brawl, and Nicholas did not hesitate to criticize and satirize Hugo.
However, the confrontation between Hugo and Antonis Stewart is so 'fine' that Nicholas really became interested in Hugo as an actor, such a person is really interesting. For Nicholas, Hugo is not only an actor he writes a lot about, but also an actor he really admires. Of course, it is not because of how 'fine' Hugo's acting skills are, but the 'spirit' spirit that Hugo showed in that confrontation with Anthony, that is, a kind of 'spirit' spirit that is in a weak position and is unwilling to give in.
Hugo is like this in the usual days, the sun is bright; And in the face of setbacks and disasters, he is still the same, even if he stands on the edge of the cliff and is in danger, he is still willing to face it with a smile and courage. After that press conference, Hugo did not pay any attention to Nicholas, which proved the impression of Nicholas even more.
Suddenly, Nicholas began to be curious, he was very curious about where Hugo, a talented but still immature actor, would go in the entertainment industry in the future, which is like watching the autobiography of a babbling baby step by step to the top of the world.
Nicholas suddenly understood his hesitation: curiosity. He wanted to be a witness to Hugo's career in the entertainment industry, and he not only wanted to see Hugo succeed, but he also wanted to see Hugo get back on his feet in the face of setbacks, and this curiosity affected Nicholas's judgment and made him hesitate.
This kind of love is the first time that Nicholas has appeared since he became a journalist, and he feels a little strange, but also a little excited. Well, after understanding this, Nicholas's hands were speeding up and running on the typewriter, and his thoughts flowed like a spring.
"I hope no one forgets that Nora Efron once created a classic script like 'When Harry Meets Sally', and Ephron uses witty and intelligent language to tell a boring story that no one is optimistic about, and this may be Epron's ability." Behind the seemingly impossible story of 'Sleepless in Seattle, which is more ridiculous than a fairy tale, there is a hidden understanding of Epron's understanding of love, perhaps this is what we should pay attention to. Perhaps, 'Sleepless in Seattle' can't be 'When Sally Meets Sally' because these are two completely different stories, but Epron's new interpretation of love is worth looking forward to.
Lancaster, as a representative of the twenty generations of male actors in Hollywood today, not only has a handsome and handsome appearance, but also proves his 'colorful' acting skills with his actual appearance. crystal). Perhaps, Ephron hopes to use Guò Lancaster to interpret the delicacy and mellowness of a man's view of love, and Lancaster will give the horn a different charm, which is the highlight on the big screen
Ryan, as the representative of today's American sweetheart, her sweetness, playfulness and intelligence in her stories can always give love a different kind of freshness, maybe we are not looking forward to another 'Sally' but another Ryan. Well, like when sweet Ryan meets sunny Lancaster, such a love story is worth looking forward to from a visual point of view, but Ephron has deprived this beauty and built love on the electric 'waves' that cannot see each other, perhaps, this incredible perspective is the highlight of the film's success, and it is also the reason why Epron chose two actors.
Love itself is a miracle that brings two strangers together; So why can't we expect 'Sleepless in Seattle' to tell us another miracle?"
When the whole article was finished, Nicholas had a satisfied smile on his face, and saw the sentence "When Hugo Met Love" on the title again Nicholas really liked his job too much, "Hugo Lancaster, let me stand behind you and see for yourself where your entertainment career will go, I hope you don't let me down." ”
With that, Nicholas quickly tore the paper off the typewriter, picked up his coat and ran out as fast as he could, the printing deadline was approaching, and it was too late to hurry.
