007 cynicism
Hugo walked to the elevator entrance, looking at the number displayed on it, from four to three, Hugo's brows couldn't help but gather in the middle, he looked to the sides, and then saw the huge Arabic numeral "five" on both sides of the elevator door, Hugo immediately knew that he was oolong.
The audition was on the third floor, and when he came to the fifth floor, he naturally couldn't find anyone, but he accidentally ran into Brad. Hugo recalled the mess he had accidentally broken into the women's bathroom last night, and couldn't help but wail and patted his forehead, really confused. Hugo hurriedly took the elevator again, and after repeatedly confirming that he was pressing on the third floor, he closed the elevator door and slid downstairs.
As soon as the elevator door opened, different from the cold on the fifth floor, a low noise came from the right side, and Hugo walked out of the elevator and saw the lively scene in the corridor, obviously this is the audition scene of "Big River Love". There are actually not many people who come to the audition today, less than 30 people, as Joseph said, this is all for the main roles to come to the interview, not the kind of large-scale public interview, it is estimated that the people who can get the interview are actors with a brokerage company.
Hugo stepped out of the elevator and looked around curiously, trying to see familiar faces in the crowd as if he had seen Brad Pitt. Hollywood, twelve hours ago, was a distant country for Hugo, as if it were two worlds, and his only contact with Hollywood was the two ends of the big screen, and there would be no intersection at all, and now, Hugo is standing in Los Angeles, standing at the audition scene of "Big River Love", standing in the golden nineties of Hollywood movies, which is really incredible.
"Yo, isn't this Hugo Lancaster, who just won the Golden Raspberry Award?" A greasy voice interrupted Hugo's curious gaze, and as soon as Hugo turned around, he saw a man about five feet eight inches in head with shoulder-length straight blond hair walking towards him, "'Thank you, thank you so much, our dream has finally come true'." The man imitated Hugo's acceptance speech at the Golden Raspberry Awards with an exaggerated expression.
"George, no, you forgot what was written in the newspaper, Hugo's first sentence of 'thank you' was said while crying, and it was intermittent that he couldn't say it completely, you said it too smoothly, this performance is not good." Behind him, another man with black curly hair stepped forward and stood beside the first man, with a playful smile on his face, and winked at Hugo, like a monkey trainer in a circus.
Hugo looked at the two clowns in front of him, he knew that the news of last night's Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony must not be able to hide from the public, but he originally thought that it was the early nineties, and the Golden Raspberry Awards had not attracted so much attention, let alone live TV, and the Internet had not yet risen, so the news did not spread so fast. But now it seems that last night's news highlights were clearly boiling over this morning.
"I'm sorry, you are ......" Hugo showed a polite smile, and the gentleman said politely, but one sentence made the two people in front of him choke immediately, and the meaning of this sentence could not be more obvious: Where did you come from, cats and dogs, and what qualifications do you have to comment on me?
The straight-haired blond man's face changed suddenly, and he immediately roared angrily, "You don't deserve to know who we are, but you have been shortlisted for the Golden Raspberry Award three times in a row, and you should be self-aware of how bad your acting skills are, it's really a shame." ”
The black-haired man next to him also hurriedly echoed, "That's it, if it were me, I wouldn't be hiding at home and wouldn't come out, and I would actually come to the audition." Participate in a garbage award ceremony like the Golden Raspberry Awards, forget it, and get the award and be overwhelmed, it's really a shame for the actors, I feel ashamed for you, we despise you on behalf of all actors. ”
Hugo has not entered the state since he crossed over, because of this one thing after another, his thoughts are still in 2014, but his soul is really in 1992, but today in the face of the two clowns in front of him, Hugo is suddenly happy, because the chaos brought by the crossing is full of humor at this moment.
"What, are you envious?" Hugo spoke very sincerely, with a focused smile on his face, as if he was sincerely expressing his inner feelings, without any negative feelings mixed in, but his words were infuriating. "I'm worried about Stallone, he heard your remarks 'on behalf of all actors', and I don't know how to feel."
"If you want to compare yourself to Stallone, wait until you shoot 'Rocky'." The blonde straight-haired man roared angrily, although Sylvester Stallone has filmed works such as "First Blood" that are disliked by professional film critics, he has also filmed works like "Rocky" that won the Oscar for Best Picture and was nominated for Best Actor, not to mention the feat of "Rocky" costing $117 million at the box office, "Actors still have to talk about their works after all, what other works do you have besides a 'Dead Poets Society'?" No, not at all! ”
Hugo's eyes widened unexpectedly, he didn't know that this body had actually starred in "Dead Poets Society" before, which was really an unexpected surprise, because he liked the movie "Dead Poets Society" very much, but he didn't remember seeing his current face appear in the cast of "Dead Poets Society", and he had the opportunity to find out and take a look again. But now is not the time to wake up his memories, he paused for a moment, and then replied, "Yes, I only have one 'Dead Poets Society', so I don't know what your masterpiece is......?" ”
At this time, the eyes of most of the people around were focused, and the voices of the blonde straight-haired man and the black-haired curly-haired man were too exaggerated, interrupting everyone who was preparing for the audition, coupled with the lively nature of people, they couldn't help but look over. When they saw that it was Hugo Lancaster who was in the whirlpool of disputes, people suddenly realized that the front page headlines of the "Los Angeles Times" today are definitely the focus of people's talk, whether it is the first actor in the history of the Golden Raspberry Awards to accept the award in person or crying thanks, it is enough to make Hugo the best conversation after dinner.
Naturally, the people who came to participate in the audition were insiders, and everyone originally thought that Hugo would be overstretched and overwhelmed in the face of the siege of two people, after all, the incident of last night's awards ceremony really made people have no way to straighten their backs, and it is very likely that they will want to get under the table after being ridiculed, which is also the reason why no one in Hollywood wants to attend the Golden Raspberry Awards, because it is definitely a shame.
But unexpectedly, Hugo's generous, neither humble nor arrogant response made the two people who took the initiative to attack look in a hurry, and people not only did not laugh at Hugo, but could not help but be affected by Hugo's positive energy. Especially when Hugo's last sentence "I don't know what your masterpiece is" was said, and with Hugo's polite smile, everyone else in the audience laughed - this taunt was obviously given to these two unknown actors.
Although Hugo has some big nerves, he will make some mistakes of going to the wrong bathroom and pressing the wrong elevator floor, and he looks like a big boy who gets along with him with a sunny smile all the time, but this does not mean that he is a fool, he will not be ashamed to run away when he is bullied, on the contrary, he will fight back in his own way!
The two men were suddenly embarrassed by Hugo's counterattack, they originally wanted to satirize Hugo, but stealing chickens did not make rice, in the harsh laughter around, the black curly-haired man held back for a long time, and then spoke, "Maybe 'River Love' will become my masterpiece!" ”
"Yes, 'Big River Love' will be my masterpiece." The straight-haired blond man also said busily.
Hugo nodded meaningfully in understanding, but then continued, "You're so confident? ”
"Of course, anyway, the person who succeeds in the audition will definitely not be you!" The straight-haired blond man couldn't wait to chase after him, and after he finished speaking, his ugly face finally eased a little, and he became triumphant again, as if he had seen Hugo leave with a disgraced face. The black curly-haired man also nodded his head in agreement, and his expression was obviously much more cheerful.
Hugo did not refute this sentence, although he did not have full confidence in himself, but at least he would try his best to try once, as for the result, it is not something he can control, because the right to speak is no longer on him, and the right to speak will not be on the two nobodies in front of him, so there is no need to refute this sentence at all.
"Then 'Big River Love' will be the masterpiece of the two of you?" Hugo nodded his head to show that he understood the meaning of their words, but he threw another bomb.
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately made the two men's faces worse, and the two looked at each other, indeed, the role of the first actor Paul is wanted by everyone, but there is only one position, so who will play it? The two of them are also competitors.
Many of the onlookers couldn't hold back their laughter again, everyone felt that Hugo was really a wonderful person, not to mention the excitement at the Golden Raspberry Awards, just saying that today's funny counterattack was enough to make people have a good day.
Hugo stepped forward to step past the two men and join the other auditioners, but after only taking a step, he stopped again, turned back and asked, "By the way, after talking for so long, I still don't know your names, may I ask you?" This question was nothing more than rubbing salt into the wounds of two people, and the name of the nobody was completely pressed on the door of their heads.
The blonde straight-haired man immediately yelled angrily at Hugo's back, "My name is George Wood. wood)! His name is William Stone. stone)! ”
"Wood, Stone......" Hugo repeated as he nodded, "Wood, stone, good, nice to meet you." Hugo politely waved his right hand and turned away.
These polite and calm words were tingling in their words, but the two of them had no way to refute them, so they could only watch Hugo walk briskly towards the front of the corridor with aggrieved eyes.
