Looking at Joseph's wolf appearance, Hugo laughed heartily, and the whole person sat in the passenger seat, leaning forward and backwards, and was very happy. This was the happiest moment since he crossed over.

Of course Hugo is joking, although he is not a messenger of justice and wants to fight all the unspoken rules, but he also knows that this is the rule of the industry, and Jiang Taigong has nothing to complain about. But as far as Hugo himself is concerned, he never wants to take shortcuts, and there are no shortcuts to the path of art.

Hugo resolutely ran away from home for his musical dreams and rolled in the underground rock music industry for a whole decade, and if it wasn't for his passionate pursuit of his dreams, he wouldn't have lasted so long. Therefore, compared to the shortcut of the unspoken rules, Hugo still hopes to stand at the top with his own strength.

Hugo also teased in a flash of inspiration just now, he couldn't say "Joseph, do you know where there is a time machine qì can send me back to 2014", so he could only relax and relax in a self-mocking way, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Joseph patted his chest and slowly walked away from his breath, fortunately it was a traffic jam now, and the speed of the car was not fast, otherwise he would have had an accident with that fright just now. Turning his head to look at Hugo sitting in the passenger seat, that bright smile shone in the golden sun of Los Angeles, Joseph always knew that Hugo had a very good appearance, but at this moment Hugo was so vivid, as if it was a ray of sunshine dazzling. Compared with Hugo's appearance, the temperament revealed in this smile is the most fascinating place, and now Hugo is more dazzling than any moment in Joseph's memory.

Turning his gaze back to the road ahead, Joseph said, "Hugo, you don't lack auditions. ”

Hugo propped his right hand on the window, opened his palm, felt the light on his fingertips, the breeze blowing, and he could feel the touch of the gentle gliding between his fingers, very subtle, "Heh, it seems that I'm still very sought-after." This is Hugo's gradual proficiency in the first person, and although he still thinks "who is this" when he sees his face in the rearview mirror, at least he will not be limited in language, which may be a change, which means that Hugo really can't go back.

Listening to Hugo's self-deprecating words, Joseph tugged at the corners of his mouth, "No, it's my agent's ability to win these opportunities for you." ”

"Then your charge shouldn't be cheap." Hugo rested his head on his arm, feeling the breeze fluttering between his hair, which allowed him to settle down and stop being irritable and complaining because of the difficulties.

Joseph replied, "I only accept cash", and the subtext was not to compare him to Tracy, which made Hugo laugh, "But you are not in a good situation now, you must try your best to find a job and find a new place to live." ”

Hugo thought about it, I see. It seems that Hugo was kicked out by Tracy and was homeless, so he had to live with his agent, and it can be seen from Joseph's residence that Hugo has been very bad in the past year, and the agent relies on the artist's work remuneration to live, and the downturn in Hugo's career naturally affected Joseph.

From here, it can be associated, it seems that Joseph is not a senior agent, and his current banner should be Hugo an artist. Immediately afterwards, Hugo remembered that he was handed over to Joseph by Ron Meyer last year, and it seems that Ron saw Hugo's inevitable downward trend in advance, so he made a wise decision in advance, which is the vision of a senior agent.

As soon as Joseph turned his head, he saw Hugo's relaxed posture, and he could clearly see that Hugo's frustration and loss were slowly emanating in the sun. Joseph wanted to say something to comfort Hugo, "Hugo, in fact, you always have a chance, you have to know this. ”

"Opportunity?" Hugo raised his head slightly, leaning his head on the window frame, at this time the road had begun to smooth out, the speed of the car gradually increased, and the oncoming wind was getting stronger and stronger, so that Hugo involuntarily closed his eyes and felt the wind and the sun caressing his cheeks.

"Yes. Before 'Fatal Moment', all the works you starred in were highly acclaimed, maybe all of them were small, but the reputation of each one was very solid, and your performances were well received, which is why Chu Lang was very optimistic about you, you have talent, excellent talent. "Joseph organized his language as he drove, and he didn't speak very quickly, but Hugo listened very carefully." And you also have great looks, which will never go out of style in Hollywood. ”

A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Hugo's mouth. In fact, in Hollywood, there are countless actors with good looks and talents, but there are only a handful of actors in history who can really break through the encirclement and make a name for themselves. Whenever professional newspapers and magazines are selecting the 100 greatest people in the history of cinema and music, Hugo thinks that even if a thousand people are selected, there are thousands of nobodies outside of this thousand, and he wants to be the first thousand, but the reality tells him that he is only one of the thousands on the periphery.

What is the most important factor in trying to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry?

is not about appearance, not only because of the difference in aesthetic views, but also because the succession of handsome guys and beauties is actually the most worthless capital in Hollywood. Although the entertainment industry accounts for almost 80% of people based on their appearance, appearance is just a stepping stone, and it is not so simple to win attention.

It's not talent or strength, because the chance of a fleeting genius in the vast sea of people is so small, and in the past 100 years of music and film, there are very few actors and singers who can really be called "geniuses". And even if there is talent, such as Broadway or London's West End, there are countless talented acting talents, but they can't bring them success. Hugo is actually talented, whether it is music or acting, the accumulation of ten years of hard work outside has allowed him to have a precipitation that his peers do not have, but it is a pity that he still failed to win a place in the music industry or the film industry before he crossed over.

It's not hard work, there are countless people in this world who are willing to sweat for the goal, but the law of diligence is the smallest factor in the field of art. "Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration", and in the world of art, that 1 percent inspiration is often the decisive factor.

So, can people who have good looks, talent, strength and willingness to work hard succeed? Not necessarily. Because in the entertainment industry, the decisive factor is chance, or luck.

Jack Lemmon Lemmon) is one of the greatest actors in American film history, he is the first actor in history to win the best actor award at the Cannes, Berlin and Venice film festivals, and he won the third film of his acting career, "Mr. Roberts. Roberts)" and finally won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

After winning the award, Jack Lemmon happily shared the joy with his acting teacher, but his acting teacher pointed to the pedestrians hurrying by on the street and said, "Among the people who passed by just now, there may be six people who will play this role as good as you, and the most important difference between you and them is that you got the role, and they didn't." ”

Or to put it another more popular example, in the 2007 release of "Transformers", the real protagonists of this movie are the mechists, not the humans. So Shia LaBeouf (shia. Labeouf) and Megan Fox (Megan. fox) can be successful if they change to someone else, but the reality is that they get the role and succeed.

Therefore, chance or luck is the most important link in the entertainment industry, and people are more willing to say that luck is also part of strength, which is the truth. Of course, after the opportunity comes, there is not enough strength, conditions, and sweat to support it, and there are times when pies fall from the sky and crush people.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but start to rethink his thoughts last night, whether this time crossing is his own opportunity and luck, the failure of "Big River Love" is just a level, his life after crossing is actually just beginning, and there are still a lot of opportunities in the future, which he has not encountered before. If he can grasp this opportunity, maybe he can open up his own world and realize his dreams; So what if you can't? At most, it's just going back to square one, there's nothing to be afraid of, isn't it?

Hugo opened his hands slightly, letting the breeze quickly slide through his fingertips, the sunlight fragments flashed in his palm, Hugo slowly grasped his hand, and did not catch anything, but the heat of his palm was so clear, maybe it was the invisible sunshine, and the breeze, and the opportunity!

Victor Hugo once said, "I would rather open my future by my own strength than to the favor of the powerful." "Hugo has always believed in this, so since it has already begun, don't give up. Walking to the end of the road and looking at the scenery there is a good time to live.

The name "Hugo" is very reminiscent of the great writer, but the name itself has a deeper meaning, Hugo, originated in ancient Latin, means heart, mind, heart, and then extended to ancient English and German, expanding the meaning for the wise spirit, wisdom and reputation, optimistic character, often able to please the people around them.

At the beginning, his father gave Chen Huguo this name, because of his mother, and the other is that he hopes that he will have an optimistic heart and be able to create his own miracle. Thinking of this, the bitterness, depression, and sadness on Hugo's body collapsed little by little under the sunshine, and the warm smile on the corner of his mouth completely disappeared, "Come and shock me, what other opportunities are waiting for me to work hard?" ”

Joseph looked at the smile on Hugo's face, which was brighter than the sun, and couldn't help but show a faint smile, and the corners of his mouth outlined a happy arc. After last night's accident, Hugo is much cuter than before, Joseph used to just do business, perform his duties, and don't want to have too much communication with Hugo at all. But today, Joseph took the initiative to enlighten Hugo, and because of Hugo's energetic smile, he was also in a cheerful mood.

Joseph realized, perhaps, that this would be a good start.

"Don't be like that. It's easy for others to misunderstand. Hugo's words came from the side, directly causing the smile on the corner of Joseph's mouth to freeze immediately.
