015 The pie is coming
Hugo raised his eyes from the script in front of him, and the dense English letters on the script made Hugo have a headache, which reminded Hugo of the bleak years when he did English reading comprehension in junior high school, but what was better than the reading period was that he was now a native English speaker, although his memory was still only partially integrated, but there was no problem with listening, speaking, reading and writing in English.
It's just that every time he reads the script for a period of time, Hugo feels amazing, and even if he has experienced such an unbelievable thing himself, he still feels incredible.
The news of the failure of the audition for "Big River Love" was confirmed the next day, even though the main attention of the media was focused on the 49th Golden Globe Awards, but there were still many media reports that the "Big River Love" male number one finally selected Brad Pitt, for no other reason: because Hugo Lancaster, the new worst actor in the Golden Raspberry Award, was not selected. This made Hugo quite laughable.
Although he failed in the interview, Hugo was not depressed for long, he realized that maybe this time the crossing was really his chance, and if it was just a failure and gave up, it was definitely not his style. What's more, as long as he recalls the joy and happiness of immersing himself in the performance during the audition for "Big River Love", Hugo is unwilling to give up, this is a moment he has always dreamed of before the crossing, how could he be willing to miss it. This is the decisive factor in Hugo's reinvigoration!
Joseph's previous remark that there are still many auditions waiting for Hugo is clearly a lie. Hugo's current situation in Hollywood is not infamous, but there is no doubt that studios will have to be more cautious about using Hugo. And Joseph also knows that after the failure of three consecutive works, Hugo's next work must be carefully selected, and if it fails again, maybe Hugo's career as an actor will really come to an end temporarily.
So, after the audition for "Big River Love", Joseph was busy and kept trying to find a suitable audition opportunity for Hugo. Unfortunately, without the help of Ron Mayer and Tracy Jacobs, Joseph's strength was indeed limited, and the opportunity was naturally not so easy to find. Luckily, it also gave Hugo a chance to settle into local life in Los Angeles.
Joseph is indeed a very capable agent, although he is a newcomer, he is very good in both skill and mentality, he didn't let Hugo wait too long, and got a very good audition opportunity. In the current situation, this is not easy, and when Hugo saw the script that Joseph brought to him, he was actually pleasantly surprised, which is even more rare.
This time, Joseph brought the script to the screenplay, which is currently one of the eight major film companies, and Universal Pictures has a budget of 10 million dollars to shoot a small-budget production. of。 a。 woman)”。
The film "Smell the Woman" is a remake of the classic 1974 Italian film "The Fragrance of the Woman", which tells the story of a preparatory school student who works as an assistant to a grumpy blind retired officer. The original film focuses more on the past life of the male protagonist, Lieutenant Colonel Slade, but the remake has a script that focuses more on the relationship between the characters.
It was once written that "Fly Over the Asylum (one. flew。 over。 the。 cuckoo’s。 The screenwriter of this classic film, Beau Goodman. Goldman focuses on a young student, revealing the true meaning of the story step by step through the changes in the relationship between the student and the lieutenant colonel.
"Smelling a Woman", which is still in the preparation stage, has actually attracted a lot of attention, because the producers have found the famous Al-Pacino. pao) to play the male lead, Lieutenant Colonel Slade.
Al Pacino's third work after becoming an actor is "The Godfather" (the). Godfather)", in this work he works with Marlon. Brando) did not fall behind in the opposite role, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. After that, Al-Pacino relied on "Serpico", "The Godfather 2", "Hot Afternoon (DOG". day。 Nominated for an Oscar for three consecutive years, he also relied on his explosive performance to become one of the best actors in film history, alongside Dustin Hoffman (Dustin). Hoffman), Robert De Niro, and Jaicholson are tied for being called the four talented actors of the seventies.
After entering the nineties, although the "Supreme Detective (dick. tracy)" once again brought Al Pacino an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but the dog-tailed sermine of "The Godfather 3" still disappointed many people, not that "The Godfather 3" is really that bad, but in the face of the glory of the first two parts of the series, the third part is really difficult to match.
Prior to that, Al-Pacino was known for his "leather." Revolution, which invested $28 million and ended up with less than $1 million at the box office, went on a four-year hiatus, and after its comeback in 1989, "Midnight Horror (SEA. of。 The success of "Love)" and "Supreme Detective" still did not bring Al Pacino back to the real peak, and now he is facing the criticism of "The Godfather 3", and Al Pacino's reputation is indeed not as good as it was ten years ago.
Therefore, Al Pacino's taking over the role of Lieutenant Colonel Slade in "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" has caused very limited repercussions in the news media, and people still have a conservative view of Al Pacino's revival. Universal Pictures has only come up with a budget of $10 million, which shows their cautious attitude.
But even so, the teaming up of Al Pacino and Beau Goodman, coupled with the filming of "Midnight." Run)" directed by Martin Brest (Marti), it is still very much worth looking forward to. Especially for the actors, it is definitely a rare opportunity to be able to play the role of Charlie, a student in the movie, against Al Pacino.
The role of Charlie requires twenty to twenty-five years old, with a humble and polite and gentle student temperament. This is undoubtedly attractive to young actors, Hugo did not expect that Joseph actually got him the opportunity to audition for the movie "Smell a Woman", which was a huge surprise.
Although the news media are more conservative now, and Universal Pictures is also cautious, Hugo, the soul who has crossed over, clearly knows what a precious opportunity it is to "smell a woman".
"Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" was naturally the most commendable performance of Al Pacino in the future, which also made Al Pacino finally win the Oscar after returning home six times in a row, and the film itself also won nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc. at the Oscars, which can be described as continuous praise. What's more, the box office performance of this movie is also very good, and it is definitely a rare classic.
In "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman", although Charlie is only a supporting role, the role is actually not weak, and it can even be said that it is almost indistinguishable from Lieutenant Colonel Slade, but the core of the narrative is on the lieutenant colonel, which makes the protagonist and supporting roles divided into primary and secondary. The role of Charlie is naturally not as difficult as Lieutenant Colonel Sred, but there is also a lot of room for the character's inner struggle and transformation.
If he can play "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", this is not only a breakthrough in Hugo's career as an actor, but the most important thing is that he can also play against Arle, and learn more from this great actor, the attraction of this movie is enough to make Hugo's blood boil.
When Hugo got the script of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" from Joseph, he was almost so excited that he almost fell in front of Joseph, at this moment he felt so deeply what a rare opportunity this time to cross, he not only crossed, but also came to 1992 with the knowledge, vision, experience, etc. until 2014, which means that the "opportunity" and "luck" that can be encountered but not sought by other actors can be easily realized in Hugo.
What Hugo has to do is not to wait for the pie to fall from the sky and 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 and his persistence are the key to success.
After getting the script, Hugo began to prepare for the audition for "Smell a Woman", Joseph is ready to work as an agent, and he is still tirelessly looking for more audition opportunities, so the next thing is to see Hugo's efforts.
Santa Monica, about a 10-minute walk from Joseph's house. monica。 Boulevard intersection, a Starbucks nestled in the shade of a boulevard, and Hugo walked to the door of this Starbucks every day to read a script.
The home of the two bachelors was already a mess, and the environment of Joseph's house was really not good, so Hugo simply went to the open space outside Starbucks to read the script, and at the same time could bask in the sun and relax, which was indeed a good choice.
Today, Hugo still came to Starbucks early as planned to occupy a double seat outside, and then began to read the script, this time compared to the rush of "Big River Love", there was enough time for Hugo to prepare, so he hoped to read the script carefully, not as an audience like watching the movie, but from the perspective of an actor, he really experienced the connection between the plot, lines, and characters.
Hugo's desire to win the role of Charlie has never been stronger, so he will definitely give it his all!
After getting tired of reading the script, Hugo stretched his waist greatly, stretched his stiff back, and saw a young man wearing sunglasses on the side of the street chasing a young girl, the little girl's expression hidden behind her hair was very impatient, and she kept shaking her hand and refused, but the young man was unwilling to give up and chased after her.
This, in broad daylight. Play. A woman of a good family? Shouldn't that be "a roar when the road is uneven, and when it's time to shoot, wow, wow, the wind and fire break into Kyushu wow......"
