185 Rise to the occasion
Hugo's dress today is a little casual, with a black 'color' base T-shirt with a dark blue 'color' open collar T-shirt, loose denim 'pants', and finally a turmeric 'color' cargo jacket, without any accessories on his hands and body, nor any special highlights, just a very ordinary outfit.
After entering the restaurant, Hugo took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves, you can clearly see that the cotton T-shirt has become loose because of too many washes, the open collar is soft and collapsed without any sense of design, and you can even see a black 'colored' stain on the cuffs, obviously not very serious when washing clothes, so it was not cleaned up.
This whole outfit looks simple and casual, but it is a little unkempt, and it is indeed out of place to appear on an important audition occasion. In Nora's imagination, even if Hugo was not dressed up, at least it should be clean and tidy; From the standpoint of 'female' and 'sexual', although Hugo's appearance is indeed very eye-catching, such a set of dresses must deduct three points of impression, and any 'female' person will not have a good first impression of such a man.
Hearing Nora's words, Joseph immediately became nervous, his eyes looked at Hugo, but his eyes were always locked on Nora, he questioned Hugo's costume when he went out, but Hugo insisted, Joseph finally compromised, and now it seems that the situation is really not good.
Rob frowned when he looked at Hugo, because the last time he auditioned for "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", Hugo's outfit left a deep impression on him, not grand but formal, and very suitable for the horn, and finally the coat also appeared many times during the official filming of the movie. Today, Hugo's dress is not only not grand but also formal, and even untidy, which is a faux pas.
However, Hugo was not nervous at all, and he even 'took the time' to give Joseph a "don't worry" look, and then looked at Nora and said, "When I was worried about the situation, I didn't even have a chance to speak, we just ate from beginning to end, and we didn't talk about anything about the movie." So I thought, how can I tell you and me that I am actually very suitable for the role of Sam without being rude, and I am not as handsome as you imagined. ”
People depend on clothing, and this applies to anyone. Although there are many top models who are still stylish even when wearing a rag, and white 'colored' T-shirts and jeans 'pants' have different effects on different people's bodies, it is undeniable that these basic elements are still necessary to be clean and tidy, fit their temperament and be close to the occasion, if they appear among blue-collar workers, a spotless white shirt will look annoying, while oily strap-covered cargo 'pants' will be stylish, and vice versa.
Therefore, even a person with innate advantages like Hugo must look at the occasion, the atmosphere, and the situation to match the clothes, which can highlight their temperament. The outfit Hugo is wearing today is indeed out of place, and it makes him look a few years older, and a lot more sloppy, if you look closely, you can also see the 'yin' shadow of his chin stubble, the whole person looks out of place here, but there is a kind of ...... The feeling of a depressed middle-aged man.
So, the answer is called 'desire'! Hugo's "prove yourself ...... without being rude" is acting, and acting comes from life, combined with Hugo's appearance after arriving at the restaurant today, it is not difficult to come to such a result: In fact, Hugo's audition has already begun.
Rob was immediately relieved, he recalled the audition for "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", wasn't that how Hugo persuaded him? Although Rob has seen many excellent actors, Hugo's hard work and dedication still make him smile.
Nora's first reaction when she heard Hugo's words was to be stunned for a moment, and then her eyes began to look carefully at the young man in front of her. No wonder Nora always feels a little strange today, on the one hand, because Hugo is not the same as the handsome and sunny boy in her impression, on the contrary, the mature and steady impression has quietly left an imprint in her mind; On the other hand, it is because she is obviously in charge of the initiative, but why the theme of the final dinner returns to the movie, it turns out that Hugo has gone all out from the beginning.
Hugo in front of him definitely looks more than twenty-five years old, and it is no problem to say that he is about thirty years old, the stubble on his chin, the sloppy T-shirt, the stains on the cuffs, and the plain outfit all show that the middle-aged man's aura is slightly depressed; But on the surface, it is not obvious, because with a smile, gentle conversation, wit and humor, and focused and sincere eyes that reveal stability, this is a simple man who is not ostentatious and down-to-earth. Under the backdrop of such an appearance, the depression that is 'exposed' from the details is quietly hidden in the bottom of his heart, more like the frustration brought by his life, but he is unwilling to show it in front of people, and he still treats life strongly.
This...... Exactly in line with the image of a young widower! Imagine that the pain of losing his wife is hidden in that endless nostalgia, he has no time to take care of himself, and the lack of his wife's care and clothing is a little decadent; But at the same time, because of the child, he has to cheer up and become the only pillar of the family, giving the child more dawn of life.
Nora's face drew a smile again, but this time the smile was more sincere than before, and her interest in Hugo skyrocketed, "Well, I think you haven't read the script, so why do you think that such an image must be suitable for Sam?"
The question hit the nail on the head, and it wasn't just Nora who was curious, but Rob and Joseph also looked at Hugo curiously. Hugo replied in his heart: Because this is how I feel after watching the movie, I have indeed read the script. But this advantage can't be used by outsiders, so Hugo pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and 'revealed' a smile, "I don't think this kind of image must be suitable for Sam, but in my impression, the image of a man who has lost his wife but lives a strong life is like this."
"It's not easy for anyone to face death, but it's often said that death isn't that scary, because when you die, everything goes away. But for the living, this is the beginning of the torment. When Hugo said this, his eyes darkened slightly, he didn't know what kind of mess he left behind in 2014 after crossing over, but the only thing he can do now is to continue to be strong as Hugo and Lancaster, which is also the most difficult part.
Hearing this, Nora, Rob, and Joseph all fell silent. In terms of age, Hugo is the youngest, but the meaning of Hugo's words just now is so far-reaching that it doesn't seem like a word at all.
Death, this may be a proposition that cannot be understood in a lifetime. Joseph couldn't help but think of a qiē that Hugo had experienced in the past, Hugo had a bad car accident and had also experienced poisoning. On the verge of death, he has also experienced the ups and downs of his actor's career, thinking of this, Joseph suddenly had a sense of admiration for Hugo, who worked so hard and so seriously in front of him, not as an agent, but as a friend.
"Yes, death is liberation, and living is pain." Nora whispered, medium. There is an old saying in the country called Fifty Knowing the Destiny of Heaven, and Nora has reached this level this year, and she has also reached the stage of realizing life.
Raising her eyes again, Nora looked at Hugo in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Hugo, many actors hear the idea of this movie, and it's incredible that two men and women who have never met before fall in love because of a radio show, they all think that such a theme will not succeed." So, why would you want to star in such a production?" Nora still hasn't said the second half of the sentence, which is "And you're working so hard for this opportunity......".
Nora had hoped that Columbia Pictures, the production company of "When Harry Met Sally", would take over the project, but after evaluation, Columbia Pictures did not think that the project would be able to move to the big screen, let alone succeed, because "it would be a disaster......"; Later, Nora approached Twentieth Century Fox, and they invested in Nora's screenwriting debut "The Silk Affair", but unfortunately the result was the same refusal.
In the end, Nora was rescued by Columbia Pictures, their independent label Samsung Pictures (Tri-Star. pictures) took over the project, and although they were only willing to invest $15 million, it was far beyond Nora's expectations.
Subsequently, the film encountered difficulties in the selection of actors, and Nora's favorite actors all refused the invitation, obviously the actors did not have enough confidence in such a love work, and she still did not know where her male and female protagonists were, and the start of the film was even more distant.
"If I said that because I believe that love is magical, will you laugh at me?" Hugo's words made both Rob and Joseph chuckle, but Nora didn't speak, and she looked at Hugo with a little more meaning, "I mean, love is a magical thing, it binds two people who don't even know each other together. Some people fall in love because of their looks, some because of their 'sexual' personality, some because of their voice, some people even because of a certain detail - like a finger or collarbone or something like that, and similarly, some because of feeling. ”
Hugo's words made Joseph and Rob smile all the time, and Nora's cheeks unconsciously outlined a curve, which looked very pleasant.
"Nora, I don't think you chose to shoot this movie because it's a good film." After Hugo finished speaking, a rhetorical question suddenly came.
Nora pursed her lips and said seriously, "No, it's because I want to believe that in this society and this era, there can be such a pure love, which comes from a spiritual fit." ”
"Me too." Hugo showed a gentle smile, "I hope to play this role, not because it is easy to succeed or can bring me box office and popularity, but because I believe that this role can bring me new challenges, and I also believe that such a story is magical, can move me and the audience." ”
