006 Competitors
"What are you standing there looking at?" Joseph walked up to Hugo's side, and the car was already driven by the parking boy to the parking lot.
Hugo glanced at Joseph, then lifted his chin and gestured in the direction of the lobby, "Brad Pitt." ”
Joseph followed Hugo's gaze and let out a soft sigh, "He's your biggest competitor." Hugo was stunned by this sentence, and seemed to understand Brad's greeting to himself just now, which should be similar to "Hey, opponent, I know you". Joseph opened his mouth, but at last he did not speak, but paused, and then continued, "He is now on the rise." ”
Brad Pitt is not the heartthrob of the 21st century after the millions, he went through a period of TV screen confusion throughout the 80s, and last year he was the same as the great director Ridley Scott. Scott's "Thelma. and。 Louise)" although he only appeared for fifteen minutes, he shone brightly, quickly turning from an unknown handyman to a hot new star in Hollywood, especially in the 49th Golden Globe Awards nomination list announced not long ago, "Crazy Flower of the End" won many nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, etc., and quickly became the favorite of the 64th Oscars, making Brad Pitt win more attention.
In the script of "Big River Love", Brad's temperament and Paul have a natural fit, coupled with his popularity now on the rise, the crew is indeed the most likely to choose him to play. The same is true of the historical facts known to Hugo, Brad got the role of Paul in "Big River Love", and relied on this character to further improve his career.
However, now that the trajectory of history has changed slightly, and Hugo has traveled here since 2014, can he change history and create his own miracle? Hugo knows that in 2014, there is no top star called Hugo Lancaster, and if he wants to create a world of his own, he must rely on his own efforts to change the course of history step by step. So, today may be the beginning, and you must take the first step firmly.
From the current point of view, Brad regards himself as a competitor, which is also because Hugo has enough strength, after all, Hugo is the leading actor in several movies. Before the "Big River Love" audition is over, a qiē is possible! Hugo let out a long breath to calm his nervousness.
"Let's go in, the interview room is in the conference room on the third floor, you go to the reception room outside first and wait, I'll come over as soon as I go to deal with something." Joseph did not follow Hugo towards the elevator, but stopped in the hotel lobby and motioned for Hugo to continue.
Hugo also stopped, and looked at Joseph with some uneasiness. Less than twelve hours after arriving in Los Angeles, Joseph is now the only person he knows in this strange world, and he has not participated in the audition for the movie before - the audition for the supporting role and the lead role are two completely different procedures, not to mention that Hugo is not sure if he is nervous or not, English is not good, and he can only rely on Chinese to communicate, which is bad. Therefore, Hugo subconsciously has some dependence.
Joseph hadn't seen Hugo have such an expression before this, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, "It's not like you haven't participated in the audition, do you want me to take you there?" Hugo muttered to himself: I really didn't audition, but I looked at Joseph innocently, not knowing what to answer.
Joseph hesitated, the reason why he let Hugo go up alone was because he had something to avoid Hugo, thinking of that woman's matter, Joseph felt powerless, Hugo would fall to the point where he is now and that woman is not unrelated.
After looking around, Joseph pointed to the three people standing at the elevator door, "Do you see those people?" Those who went to the third floor were all actors who participated in auditions. The people who came to audition today are all interviewing for the main roles, so there won't be a lot of actors, you just follow them. I've already handed in your resume, just wait for your name to be called, and I'll do my best to get here. ”
Hugo also realized that his hesitation was very wrong, this is not the love that an actor who has played the leading role in many movies should have, he couldn't help but cheer himself up in his heart, "I know, you don't have to worry about me, I can do it myself." With that, he took the lead in turning around and walking in the direction of the elevator.
Joseph looked at the back of Hugo's departure, and couldn't help but shake his head in wonder, Hugo fainted last night and his previous cousin Xiàn is really the same as the two, of course, he still prefers the current Hugo, at least Hugo's entire mental outlook is sunny today, which is definitely a positive sign. As for the reason for the discrepancy, Joseph can only blame it on the realization after the struggle between life and death.
Soon, Joseph took his thoughts back and thought that he was about to meet Tracy Jacobs. jacobs), he has a headache, and he must concentrate on dealing with this woman, otherwise today's audition for "Big River Love" may come in vain.
Walking in the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel, an Italian Renaissance-style hotel, Hugo only felt as if his footsteps were tapping on the shoulders of history, and it was really refreshing to walk all the way to the elevator entrance. However, due to Hugo's speed all the way like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, the three people had already taken the elevator upstairs just now, Hugo could only press the elevator again, and only walked into the elevator alone after the elevator came down, he casually pressed the floor sign and then looked down at the script in his hand, I don't know if today's audition has a prescribed repertoire or free play, or a chat form, and what will be the difference between Hollywood interviews?
The elevator quickly arrived at its destination, and the elevator door was opened with a "ding", and Hugo bit his lower lip and walked out of the elevator. The elevator doors closed, locking in the bright light behind him, and Hugo looked up and left and right, only to see the entire empty corridor quietly presented in front of him, and Hugo stood in place dumbfounded.
Didn't you say that today is an audition for "Big River Love", why is the corridor empty? Brad and the three actors came up just now, it shouldn't be an empty scene. Hugo frowned and thought about it, just now Joseph said that there is a reception room outside, could it be that there is a separate reception room today, and all the actors who participated in the audition entered the room to wait?
Hugo didn't know anything about the situation in Hollywood, so he could only take a clumsy step and walk to the left according to his instincts, but this room was all hotel rooms, and there were no signs for the conference room at all, let alone any auditions, interviews, reception rooms, etc., which immediately confused Hugo.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening at the end of the corridor on the right behind him came from the sound of the door, Hugo reflexively turned to look over, and then he saw a man and a woman appear in sight. The man was tall and handsome, with silky blonde hair standing out in the milky yellow light of the corridor; The woman wears a white-collared one-line skirt suit, which completely outlines the concave and convex figure, and is intellectual, neat and feminine. Flatter. The two looked at each other deeply, although there was no physical contact, but the tacit understanding between the eyes was ambiguous. The indistinct laughter was particularly conspicuous.
Is that...... Brad Pitt?
Hugo's first reaction was surprise when he saw the man's face, he thought it was the reception room where the actors rested before the audition, but then his smile froze. Because the two of them noticed that there were other people in the corridor, the two of them raised their heads and saw Hugo standing on the other side of the corridor, and the distance between the two people, which was originally less than a palm, did not change much, but the tacit understanding and smile between the eyebrows disappeared silently in the dim light. This picture is really obvious to explain what it means to be tired.
Isn't this the unspoken rule of Hollywood?
Brad and the woman didn't stop too much on their feet, and walked straight in the direction of the elevator in the middle. The woman's face became clearer and clearer, Hugo looked at the woman's face, and there was always another inexplicable sense of familiarity in his mind, could it be that they had cooperated before? The feeling of not being able to remember was really bad, and Hugo even wondered if his parents would not recognize the body if they saw it, or if he would just treat his ex-girlfriend as a stranger when he saw it.
Brad's gaze didn't hide from Hugo, just his trademark big smile. At this time, Brad was only twenty-nine years old, and it was when he was young and vigorous, and his uninhibited and sexy image did not know how many young girls had charmed the hearts of young girls, and Hugo could easily see infinite confidence in Brad's smile, as well as a strong will to fight.
It seems that Brad really regards Hugo as his strongest competitor, but why? Hugo's current situation in Hollywood is not good, he has been shortlisted for the Golden Raspberry Award three times in two years, which has put Hugo's acting career in a big dilemma, and Brad is a rising star, which is not comparable. Or is there other entanglement between the two people that Hugo didn't think about.
This damn crossing.
At this time, Hugo finally understood the meaning of Brad's "dreams come true" to himself at the door just now, which was a quote from Hugo's acceptance speech at the Golden Raspberry Awards, but it was not a provocation, nor a mockery, but a war letter. It seems that Brad is planning to compete with Hugo in the audition for "Big River Love"!
This immediately made Hugo also burn with a strong fighting spirit, no matter what happened before, and no matter what the reason for the two became opponents, but Hugo wanted to get the role of Paul in "Big River Love", he had to defeat Brad, so this made the two destined to become competitors.
The woman and Brad walked to the elevator entrance, and after the elevator opened, the two of them did not rush in, the woman stood in place and looked at Hugo again, this look was very strange: it seemed to be expecting something and it seemed to be rejecting something, this complicated look made Hugo look really inexplicable.
After waiting for a while, the woman did not wait for Hugo's reaction, and then followed Brad into the elevator, and the two of them took the elevator down. Hugo reacted slowly: wasn't the audition here, why did they take the elevator?
