This time Hugo and Joseph arrived at the restaurant first, and sat down waiting for Nora and Ephron to arrive. I don't know if Nora did it on purpose, but after half past twelve, she still didn't show up. This inevitably makes people wonder if it is because of Hugo's recent negative news that this leads to the other party's contempt, but regardless of the facts, Hugo and Joseph, who are in a passive situation, can only continue to wait.

At a quarter past twelve, Nora's figure appeared at the 'door' of the restaurant, and when she saw two people, she raised her hand to say hello and strode over.

Today, Nora tied her longer hair neatly in a ponytail, dressed in a white 'color' shirt and camel 'color' trench coat, still with the neatness and crispness of a successful person, she walked to the dining table and shook hands with Hugo and Joseph respectively", I'm really sorry, 'Sleepless in Seattle' is going to start filming next week, and there were some problems with the filming location in Baltimore today, and there was a temporary meeting to discuss, so I'm sorry for the delay." ”

This is a positive sign that Nora is not using any excuses such as "traffic jams" to shirk responsibility, not to mention how real the reason is, at least in terms of sincerity. "It's okay, we didn't wait long." Joseph politely said, "So, what's the intention for lunch?" Joseph waved his hand and beckoned the 'waiter' over and motioned for Nora to order first. "Give me a seafood pasta and a glass of soda, thank you." Nora didn't shirk either, she simply finished ordering neatly, her 'sexuality' still hasn't changed, and the pace is even faster today than the last time we met, and you can feel that her life should be very busy recently.

Hugo and Joseph didn't think much about it either, and quickly finished ordering. Before the waiter took the menu away, Nora looked at Hugo and said, "Give me a reason, why do you want to take this movie?"

Hugo stopped holding the glass in his hand, put it down, and looked at Nora seriously, he originally wanted to thank Nora for giving him a second chance, and by the way, he tried to find out why Nora gave him a second audition, but Nora still preemptively struck as always.

Nora's sharp eyes were firmly locked on Hugo, and Hugo also looked back boldly and confidently, although it could not be seen on the surface, but Hugo's inner tension was constantly surging, as if he would vomit at any time", if I sue you, I would like to believe in the love in this story, do you believe it?" No. Nora said succinctly that Hugo had not read the script of "Sleepless in Seattle", and that Hugo only knew the synopsis of the story from beginning to end, so Nora did not believe it at all. Because now the story of "Sleepless in Seattle" is almost impossible for anyone in the circle to believe, and the two people get to know each other through Guò Radio and then fall in love with each other, which is really incredible, even in the movies.

Hugo laughed", then I don't think you want to believe it for the sake of pay. "I believe that." Nora smiled.

Joseph sat next to him, a little nervous, but he had gradually adapted to the rhythm of Hugo's audition, so he was willing to feel comfortable 'handing' the control of the situation to Hugo, while he himself listened intently to prevent the moment when he needed to talk.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders", then that's the reason, salary. Hugo said seemingly indifferently, which made Nora's eyes squint slightly, she did not expect Hugo to simply give up the answer to the question, this kind of Hugo she had in her impression did not match.

Hugo looked at Nora's expression, smiled and said again, "Nora, from my standpoint, you are willing to shoot a love story, not because you are a 'woman', but because you believe that there is the most sincere love in this world, and you hope to spread this idea to the audience, even if it is a touch, a warmth, a happiness and a hope, this is a success." ”

Nora didn't have any expression on her face, just a slight chin tuck", and continued

，，o

Hugo put his hands on the table, shallowly 'crossed' his hands", I recently have a little bit of my own understanding of love, I want to keep a little distance from the things that change, because in this way I will know what is the most unabandoned by time, for example, love, full of variables, you will never know when love appears and when it disappears, so I think, take a step back, quietly watch, maybe a good idea, until you see the most sincere feelings. ”

Hugo's eyes subconsciously avoided Nora's focus when he spoke, because he didn't want a stranger to see his inner vulnerability. After a failed trust, Hugo is like a frightened snail, hiding deep in his shell to protect himself, not wanting to act rashly again.

Nora looked at Hugo in front of him, today's Hugo is the most real appearance, unlike the last time he deliberately prepared for the audition, today's Hugo is sunny and handsome, gentle and kind, but there is a trace of tension and alienation in that warm temperament, such Hugo actually does not conform to the setting of "Sleepless in Seattle" in terms of appearance and age, but the temperament almost overlaps with Nora's ideal Sam.

Maybe Hugo doesn't have the mature and steady charm of a forty-year-old man, even if he makes up and becomes thirty years old, he still looks too young, but Hugo has a soft but 'fascinating' temperament. What surprised Nora even more was that Hugo's words just now were calm and calm, but with a hint of timidity and withdrawal, and the sincerity from the heart touched Nora.

Nora couldn't help but shake her right hand, this passage is actually the most realistic portrayal of Sam's horn 'color' in the script, which makes Nora a a little nervous and a little 'excited'. But Nora did a good job of hiding her love for her, unnoticed by Hugo and Joseph o"I thought that young people nowadays believe more in love at first sight. Nora smiled and said, "You know, the same is true of love in the script, where the male and female protagonists only see each other." "Of course, I think love at first sight is also a type of love." Hugo chuckled and nodded", it's just that I'd rather be a little streamer, and in my opinion, Sam is the same, otherwise he wouldn't have been guarding his wife for so long. ”

Nora gave Hugo a good cheer in her heart, and Hugo's thorough analysis of the diagonal 'color' within the limited scope of her understanding really impressed her. Originally, Nora didn't have any hope for today's audition, but now, Hugo's unexpected joy brought her made her 'excited' and almost irrepressible. "Maybe." Nora suppressed her inner feelings and spoke steadily.

Hugo walked out of his affection, affecting Joseph's worried eyes, 'revealed' a smile to indicate that he was okay, and then looked back at Nora, "I have another question, I don't know if I can ask?" Nora looked at Hugo and said she was listening, "I'm curious, why are you willing to give me a second chance, as far as I know, hasn't this horn 'color' already found its owner?"

It was Nora who took the lead just now, and now it was Hugo's turn to take the initiative.

Nora was not surprised by Hugo's initiative, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Someone told me that you deserve a second chance, because you are a very good, hard-working and talented actor, and you should not be buried." "Hugo and Joseph were very surprised by this", today's audition proved me wrong. Because I originally thought today's audition was a mistake. ”

Nora recalls Hugo's efforts at the first audition, and today, Hugo's whole mood changes, as well as the precipitation of temperament, let Nora see something new, which makes her realize that the second audition is indeed a good idea.

Hearing Nora's words, both Hugo and Joseph couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, this was a positive signal released by Nora, but it turned out that Joseph was more sensible, as an agent, this is his duty, and now he has firmly remembered this", but I heard that the horns have already been arranged, haven't they?" Plans don't always keep up with change. "Nora just said simply, the helplessness that was faintly 'revealed' in her words made people realize that maybe there was some secret in this", so, Hugo, would you like to join the crew of 'Sleepless in Seattle' and play the role of the actor Sam? You know, if you want, we need to make some changes to the script, and all this work has to be done, so I hope to get an answer as much as possible. ”

Hugo and Joseph glanced at each other, and the excitement in their eyes flashed at the same time, this is really great news, it should be the best news since the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng"!" Of course, of course, it's my pleasure. Hugo's eyebrows were filled with a smile for a moment, making Nora stunned for a moment, "Nora, is it Rob who wants me to get a second chance?" Hugo was still very curious about the mysterious man behind him, and the first thought in his head was naturally Rob Reiner.

Nora smiled and didn't answer, "Anyway, you won the horn 'color' with your own appearance, and that's enough, isn't it?" Yes, yes......" Hugo hesitated, but nodded in affirmation.

Joseph, who was sitting next to him, took over the topic, "So about the contract?" Although Hugo is now in the whirlpool of big names, the treatment he deserves is still indispensable, and Joseph must do his job.

Nora glanced at Hugo, and then looked at Joseph, "If it's eight million, I'm sorry I can't agree, our crew's budget is very tight." It can be seen that the recent news media statements still have an impact on Nora, and one of the big names is that Hugo will not accept new works without a salary of 8 million, so Nora will have this statement.

Joseph felt a little bitter in his heart, the negative impact of this news was really bad, but he still cheered up and said, "No, Hugo never asked for eight million in salary. As for the salary, we can discuss it again. "No problem, after I go back, the company will fax you the quotation and contract, and we will discuss the details if there is a problem." Nora sensed Joseph's sincerity, so she didn't drag on any longer, and said simply.
