Chapter 1142: The Goal Is Different
David didn't know why Hugo interrupted him, and he didn't like it when others interrupted him, he could feel that the atmosphere seemed to change subtly after Brad came over, but he couldn't say why.
David originally wanted to say that Hugo was particularly interested in Anonymous, but his words were meant to say what Hugo thought, and Hugo was not wrong to say so. And he was curious about what Brad would say, so he put his thoughts on it. He looked at Brad with Hugo.
Brad didn't feel Hugo's hostility, but he knew that they couldn't be friends, and scolded "hypocrite" in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface, and still maintained a smile and said, "Of course, this is one of the great things about the script." Then he turned his gaze back to David and continued, "But I think Mills is the most interesting character, and there's a lot to discover in his personality, and the transformation in the story is wonderful." β
Obviously, Martin and Brad are here specifically for David Fincher, and they mentioned David Cronenberg twice just now. It is not difficult to guess that, as Hugo expected, it was Cronenberg who mentioned Finch to New Line Films, and was a member of the list of Jianyì, if not directly recommended.
It can also be understood from Brad's words that Martin is obviously aiming for the male protagonist position.
From the agent's point of view, Brad's career is now on a rapid rise, and he naturally does not consider supporting actors to play the leading role, hoping to make Brad quickly gain a foothold in the first-line ranks. The same was true of Hugo at the beginning, and the supporting actor in "Schindler's List" was a special accident.
But David felt very strange, because he remembered Hugo's choice just now: Anonymous, not Mills. David seemed to have captured something about Hugo's interruption of his speech, though it was still unclear.
"Mills ......" David sighed, he looked at Brad when he spoke, but when the words fell, he glanced at Hugo, this small gesture made both Brad and Martin notice, and in an instant Brad became vigilant: he realized that Hugo was his biggest rival in the role of Mills.
Obviously, everyone aspires to be the leading actor, and that's the central position. Brad's fighting spirit immediately burns high, and this is a new battlefield between him and Hugo! And this time, he will definitely not admit defeat lightly, not only will he not admit defeat, but he will also win strongly, so that Hugo clearly knows that he now has the ability to resist!
"Yes, although Mills is a bit impulsive and irritable, he always maintains a high fighting spirit in the face of crime, and he is eager to make a career. When he finally encountered a catastrophic blow, his inner struggle and transformation were a big test of his acting skills. Brad said quickly, pouring out all his thoughts about the character.
After Martin inquired about the news just now, it was confirmed that David Geffen is currently the first candidate for New Line Films, although it is still not completely confirmed. But Brad wants to take every opportunity to show himself and fight for the role of Mills.
After saying that, Brad glanced at Hugo, as if it was a demonstration, and the sharp edge made Hugo feel very innocent: he didn't say anything just now. "I've been working on the role of Mills recently, and the more I delve into it, the more I feel engaged, and sometimes I can't tell the difference between myself and the character, and it seems that I've taken the lead in the play, hehe......" Brad also scratched his head with a jerky smile, indicating his innocence.
Martin gave Brad a slap in the eye: Brad's words were too aggressive.
Now no one can confirm that David is the director of the "Seven Deadly Sins", and the main reason why they came here was to make a deep impression on David, but if they crossed this line, such as Brad said it so explicitly, it was easy to be self-defeating. What's more, Hugo is still here! Rick has not come over at this time, which means that Hugo does not know the news that David is currently the first candidate, and Brad's eagerness is likely to make Hugo perceive.
So Martin still has some hatred for iron not being steel! But at this time, Hugo and David were in front of him, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only laugh dryly, "When encountering an excellent script, Brad always can't put it down, I think, every good actor or director can experience this feeling." β
Martin is really a master, one sentence has multiple effects, and he also shifted the final focus to the "director", and once again turned the topic back to David.
"The character of Mills is indeed worth savoring...... "David didn't think much about it, and went on with the words, "and the script of 'The Seven Deadly Sins' is also worth reading repeatedly." It's just that he couldn't help but look at Hugo as he spoke. There is a gap in comparison, at this time David can obviously feel that there is a big gap between Hugo and Brad's background as actors, and Martin and Brad seem too utilitarian, which also greatly reduces David's impression.
Sensing David's gaze, Brad and Martin also looked at Hugo, their urgent gaze like a thorn. Obviously, they all saw Hugo as their biggest competitor.
If Hugo can't feel it, then the past three years will be in vain. But Hugo felt a little innocent: he had no interest in Mills, and he wanted to play Anonymous. Because of their different goals, he and Brad had no positive conflict of interest at all. Of course, if Hugo and Brad were on the set of "Seven Deadly Sins", then they would be competitors, just like Tom and Brad in "Interview with the Vampire".
Hugo nodded quietly, with a polite smile on his face, "Of course, as I said earlier, every character has its charm. Maybe I should go back and read the script a few more times and savor it carefully. Hugo's words made Martin smile with satisfaction, but Brad was still staring at Hugo fiercely, and the smell of gunpowder had begun to permeate, which made Hugo feel helpless.
On the one hand, Hugo felt that Brad did not need to target himself everywhere, because their goals were different; On the other hand, Hugo also felt that even if they were head-on competitors - just like when "Yihai was heroic", then they had their own skills, whether they relied on their absolute hard power or the connections of their agents, and whoever could laugh until the end was the winner, then there was really no need for the immediate recklessness.
After all the ups and downs, Hugo has grown, but now it seems that Brad's impulses have not fully subdued.
Hugo's eyes saw Gwyneth Paltrow coming over, and not far away, Al-Pacino's eyes also made contact with Hugo, Hugo smiled at Al, looked back at David, Brad and Martin, and nodded apologetically, "You guys talk first, I'll go over and say hello to Al." β
Hugo then took a step back, nodded and smiled at the oncoming Gwyneth, and turned away, leaving room entirely to Brad. Gwyneth's eyes looked Hugo up and down playfully, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but Brad was watching Hugo's back as he left, so he didn't notice it. I saw Brad raise his chin slightly, like a victorious matador, his eyes flashing with excitement.
It's the only time Hugo and Brad have seen each other in the last two years, which is really interesting. Although the media hyped up the duel between the two, although Brad has always regarded Hugo as his biggest competitor, and although the two have many entanglements because of Tracy, the number of times the two have met is only a handful, and every time it is full of gunpowder. Perhaps, this is the opponent of fate.
Brad took a deep look at Hugo's back, and his right hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, which he didn't even notice. But soon, Brad let go of his fist, although he was a little out of control in front of Hugo just now, but Brad knew clearly in his mind that compared to the battle of words, speaking with strength and duel with works is the most effective.
Although the previous "Night Interview with Vampire" and "Burning Years" were both successful, they were both overwhelmed by "pulp fiction", which made Brad unwilling. This time, the "Seven Deadly Sins" is a new battlefield!
Hugo ignored Brad behind him, he walked towards Al-Pacino and gave Al a big hug, "I heard that you also have the hope of starring in this work, are we going to work together for the second time?" β
Al gave Hugo a punch to the shoulder, "You didn't say earlier that you were willing to take on this film, otherwise I would have been willing to take this work for you." Arna's hoarse voice rustled in his ears like a broken gong, it was really a long time coming, "But it's too late, I've signed a contract with another work, 'Three-dimensional lies (city.'" Hall', and John Cusack. cusack). β
"Oh...... What a disappointment. Hugo gave a look of frustration that made Al scoff.
Then Al turned his head and pointed to the person behind him, "Need I introduce you?" β
"No, I don't think so, I've always wanted to work with Hugo, I heard that the script for 'Killing Hour' is now in your hands, I thought we had a chance to work together in that work, but I didn't expect that we would meet again here." The middle-aged uncle with a warm smile in front of him was elegant and gentlemanly, and stretched out his right hand to Hugo, "Oh, I'm sorry, maybe I need to introduce myself." β
"Mr. Kevin Spacey, are you mocking me? I would never do such a simple and polite act as enumerating your work, it would be an insult to me, because I know for sure what the man whom Al and Jack both mentioned to me looked like. Hugo also reached out and took the hand of the man in front of him.
Standing in front of Hugo at this time is the prototype actor of the famous Kevin Spacey - Anonymous, and what Hugo needs to do now is to defeat the other party and win the role of Anonymous. History is really interesting.
"You're embarrassing me now, my face is starting to redden, please don't mind." Kevin took Hugo's hand and made Alhaha, who was standing on the side, laugh out loud with a shy expression.
