319 Panic
Brad and Pete sat in the office and looked at Martin Baum in front of him, after the baptism of the past year, Brad has gradually grown up, although he is also very anxious at this time, flustered eyes, tense expressions, and constantly shaking feet are all revealing his true feelings, but at least he is still sitting on the sofa, and he does not use rich body language and irritable words to convey his inner detailed thoughts as before.
In fact, compared to Brad, Martin's irritability at this time was even stricter, and he spent too much effort to get Brad to participate in the project "Schindler's List", so that Brad's "California Killer", which was being filmed, was forced to be shelved twice, Martin called Brad, who was filming in Atlanta (Atlanta), to New York to meet Tracy for an audition, and today Brad also has a filming assignment in Burbank, Los Angeles, but he has not yet set off.
It can be said that Martin put most of his bets on "Schindler's List", mainly hoping that this work can allow Brad to connect with Steven and Spielberg, and take advantage of the commercial director to taste some box office gains, which is a very important work for Brad's future career planning as an actor. After all, it is difficult for small-budget independent films like "Big River Love" and "California Killer" to make the actors develop in the long run.
In fact, Martin's plan for Brad is similar to Chu Lang's plan for Hugo, both of which start from small literary and artistic works to polish their acting skills, and then seek the right time to appear on the big stage. It's just that Lang was a little anxious after the "Dead Poets Society", ruining the previous foreshadowing, and the eagerness for quick success and quick profit made Hugo fall into a trough.
This time Martin didn't want to make the same mistake, his plan has always been cautious, even if he pinned hopes on "Schindler's List", he just hoped that Brad would be able to catch up, so in addition to "Schindler's List", he also took over the work "California Killer" for Brad.
Now the unexpected has come, and the "Schindler's List", which has been planned for nearly three months, has lost all the games, and the neglected "California Killer" has become Brad's lifeline, for which Martin feels very headache. And Martin knows that Brad's missing "Schindler's List" is just the beginning, because of the relationship between Brad and Tracy, if Hugo can take this opportunity to rise again, then the strength of the competitor will only further compress Brad's script space, not to mention those who are widely involved.
Thinking of this, Martin could only 'rub' his temples fiercely, "Shit! How did he get this opportunity, and why did everything before change at the last moment! Damn, they all deserve hell!" Martine's mood fluctuated so much that it was also very difficult to control, and the foul words came out one after another.
"Martin, what now?" Brad still couldn't cultivate at home after all, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and anxiously asked the questions in his heart.
"What?" Martin was also in a bad mood, and replied angrily.
Brad had to stand up, "Hugo! That guy got this horn, and if he succeeds, what am I going to do?" Unconsciously, Hugo has become Brad's biggest rival in his heart, not only because of Tracy, but also because of the competition on the road of actors, and Brad has fallen behind in the duel between the two of them repeatedly, which makes him very difficult to accept.
Brad was also complacent because Hugo missed the "Sugar-Coated Trap" and "Schindler's List" successively, he thought that he would take over these two films, and then make a leap forward in his career as an actor, but what he didn't expect was that he also missed the former, and the latter turned around and finally fell into the hands of Hugo, which was a result that Brad could not accept.
"He's already gone to 'Bo'lan, what else can he do!" Martin tried his best to suppress his voice, but he still accidentally yelled loudly, and he could clearly hear the irritability and depression in his heart, but he was an old fox after all, and he took a deep breath for a few days to adjust his feelings, "Now that you are focusing on the performance of 'California Killer' and doing your own job well, aren't you afraid that there will be no chance to get ahead?" Even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in me!"
"But ......" Brad didn't listen at all, he still felt unwilling.
Martin's eyes widened, "As long as you play the 'California Killer' well, you will 'hand' the rest to me, and I guarantee that you will have a brighter future than Hugo!" Although Martin does not have as strong feelings as Brad, after this 'exchange', he also remembered the unhappiness that was suppressed by Hugo during the last audition for "Yihai Xiongfeng", so whether it was for profit or for anger, Martin had already regarded Hugo as a target that must be defeated.
Seeing that Brad was still standing in place and unwilling to leave, Martin sneered, "Don't worry, 'Schindler's List' is not as bright as you think, maybe Hugo has fallen into another abyss." I'll find you another one that can compete with him!"
After receiving the assurance, Brad turned around and left the office, but before leaving, he still punched the wall angrily, only this direct venting can vent the anger in his heart!" Hugo a Lancaster!" Brad was barely gritting his teeth.
On the other hand, Ron Yimeyer's situation is not much better than Martin's, and he can't figure out how Hugo managed to complete the comeback at the last minute and become a member of the crew of "Schindler's List". They have been planning for so long, but they don't want to make a wedding dress for others at the last moment, this anger and depression instantly went against the current, making Lang feel that his brain was starved of oxygen, his eyes were dark, and he almost couldn't stand, and Lang directly smashed his desk in anger.
In the past two months, Lang's mood has been like a roller coaster, as soon as he saw Hugo make a comeback with the help of two works, he started to dig Hugo again; But then Tracy's strategy succeeded, causing Hugo to fall to the bottom in an instant, and his mind was extinguished again; But now, Hugo, who originally thought that he was reduced to filming chick movies, completed the counterattack and snatched the food in their bowl directly, which made Lang unable to change it in one breath, and almost fainted on the spot, he didn't know if his heart could withstand such a violent stabbing 'excitement'!
Looking at Lang who was thundering in the office, Gary and Scott stood at the 'door' to restrain their smiles, in fact, he knew that when Hugo got the horn 'color', he was very happy for Hugo, but this kind of love could not be 'revealed' in front of his boss, so Gary put on a cautious and stern expression and knocked on Lang's office 'door', "Lang, Tracy's phone." ”
"Grass! Grass! Grass!" Lang's anger can be directly felt by Gary through a wall, so Gary can't help but shrink his shoulders, a careful face, lest Lang turn his anger on him, "Take the phone!" Long said with what he had left, which made Gary feel pardoned, and hurriedly ran all the way back to his desk.
Long kicked the landline on the ground, then bent down to pick it up, picked it up and started yelling, "What the hell are you doing!" How could this be! Didn't you work with Steven on ''Purple''? Why is it useless for you to speak in front of him!"
"Shut up!" Tracy's anger was no less than that of Lang, "If you're going to blame me, you can save it now, because it's not just you, I'm not happy with the result either." No, I'm even more dissatisfied!" Tracy said irritably, causing Ron to gasp for air, but finally didn't get any more frustration, "Did you get any news from there?" How exactly did Hugo get into the crew?
Lang 'plugged' his waist, like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth depressedly, "No, there is no news, now the crew is 'Bo'lan, and the news is coming back too slowly." ”
Tracy only felt that her head was about to explode, she absolutely couldn't accept such a result, but she knew that the more angry she was, the more she needed to calm down, only in this way could she find a solution to the problem, "We can't be 'messed up' by ourselves now, we must calm down." We must first verify whether the 'Schindler's list' has no chance of reversing, if not, then we must 'figure' understand the cause and effect, and only by knowing the root cause of the problem can we avoid or even solve the problem. ”
Lang's experience is no less than that of Tracy, he just likes to vent his feelings, and after venting, he quickly calmed down, "Then what are your plans now?" In fact, Schindler's list is 100% successful, isn't it? Everyone has reservations about this project, so is it possible for us to find a better work and start filming as much as possible, and then play against Spielberg?"
"Of course you can, why can't you find it! This is Hollywood, this is a place to believe in miracles!" Tracy gritted her teeth and said this, although she didn't want to admit it, but the crew of "Schindler's List" had already set off for "Bo'land", and the matter was already settled; then, next is another war, this time, she will stand on the opposite side of "Schindler's List", although Steven and Spielberg are giant crocodiles, but Steven is not the only giant crocodile in Hollywood!
"Even if we can't find one, we'll make one!" Tracy said categorically that she would never allow Hugo to turn over, and how much effort did she "spend" to suppress the positive effects brought by "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'" and "the heroic wind of the righteous sea", if Hugo really received Steven's power to rise strongly, then the balance of power between the two of them will become more and more balanced. "What's more, Hugo still has a chick movie that is dragging its 'legs', we just need to find a movie that can fight against Schindler's list" then it's not time to draw conclusions!"
Hugo's success, that's the last thing Tracy wants to see!
