Chapter 1189: Friends Visiting the Class
Hugo raised his head and glanced at Leonardo in front of him, smiled with relief, and nodded, "Yes." "He's really hit a bottleneck and he's had a hard time, there's nothing to be ashamed of, and he can admit it generously.
Looking at the obvious surprise on Leonardo's face, Hugo's smile was a little more relaxed, "The discussion with you just now has gained a lot, maybe I should be locked in the room and think about it when I go back at night." ”
Leonardo raised his eyes and saw Hugo's bare head, raised his right hand and touched Hugo's head directly, and then he saw Hugo's depressed expression full of black lines, which made Leonardo laugh, raised his hand and gave Hugo's bald head a look, and a "pop" sound was really too joyful.
"You've sacrificed so much for this role, it's not enough?" Leonardo couldn't stop laughing, in fact, he had heard Joseph say about Hugo's shaved head before, but because he had been filming in the crew, he didn't see Hugo's bald head for the first time until today. And when we met just now, I was pulled into a strict topic by Hugo before I had time to react, and I only reacted now......
I can't stop laughing at all.
Hugo is still in a state of discomfort with his bald head, but seeing Leonardo smiling so exaggeratedly, his face suddenly turned helpless, grabbed Leonardo's shoulders, hooked his feet hard, and lifted Leonardo's whole person back, Leonardo directly showed a posture of lower waist, if Hugo hadn't grabbed Leonardo's shoulders, now he would have fallen hard.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my fault." Leonardo hurriedly apologized, but when he looked up, he saw Hugo's head like a light bulb and couldn't stop laughing.
Hugo watched Leonardo's shiny blonde hair shine in the light, gritted his teeth, pressed down with both hands, and pushed Leonardo's whole person to the ground, and when there was still a short distance from the ground, he suddenly let go of his hands, and then Leonardo smashed to the ground in a wolf and wailed.
Leonardo stood up with a depressed face, and deliberately held his waist, "Hey, I didn't make this decision myself." After saying that, Leonardo deliberately exaggerated his long blonde hair, which made Hugo roll his eyes speechlessly, which made Leonardo proud.
"So, what are you doing here today?" Hugo ignored Leonardo's "scratch." Head. Do. posture", then suddenly remembered, why did Leonardo suddenly appear in the crew of "Seven Deadly Sins"?
Leonardo said with a smile, "Visiting the class, I have long heard that you have a lot of importance in this play, and there are ......" Leonardo said while looking around, "The facial paralysis ...... without acting skills" It's a pity that he didn't find Brad, because Brad was hiding in the corner with a blanket on his head, and those who didn't know didn't know that the one who didn't want to see people was Brad, who was still beautiful not long ago.
Turning his head, Leonardo saw Hugo's bald head again, couldn't help touching the intact hair on his head, and sighed long, "It's lucky and unfortunate to be in the same crew with you." Leonardo admits that he doesn't have the courage to shave his head, and the sacrifice Hugo is willing to make for the role is indeed admirable, and Hugo is still thinking about how to perform, which is not a simple matter for an actor who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor not long ago.
Hugo looked at Leonardo's exclamation and laughed hehe, "Don't think of me too great, I regret shaving my head now, especially standing in front of you, so you should disappear recently." Hugo's ridicule made Leonardo flutter and couldn't hold back, and he burst into laughter again. So...... Are you really just here to visit the class? ”
When Leonardo heard Hugo's questioning, he immediately said with a look of wrongedness, "Hey, don't question my sincerity, I have just handed over the coffee and doughnuts I brought to Joe." Looking at Leonardo's line of sight, Joseph and Samora were indeed beckoning the crew to come over for afternoon tea.
But Leonardo turned around and saw Hugo's playful smile, so he couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, "Okay, okay, I admit it." Helplessly raising his hands in surrender, Leonardo muttered in a low voice, "You really should study psychology." But when he looked up and saw Hugo's calm smile, Leonardo quickly explained, "I'm looking for you something." ”
Hugo saw that Leonardo's expression was slightly stern, so he walked to the corner with him, and Leonardo said, "I need to find a new agent now, what do you think of Ali Emmanuel?" ”
Hugo was stunned, but then remembered that Leonardo had just fired his agent.
In fact, when Endeavor Elite Brokerage was just established, Leonardo learned that Hugo also had shares in this company, so he jokingly mentioned that he also wanted Hugo's agency. But everyone didn't take it seriously, at that time Leonardo himself also had an agent - an innovative artist agency.
Now Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company has been established for more than a year, and its strength has begun to show, so that many people have shifted their attention to this rising star. It's just that Hugo didn't expect Leonardo to really want to transfer to Endeavour Elite Agency, not only because the innovative artist agency is definitely not willing to let it go, but Hugo once heard a rumor: Leonardo did not hesitate to change five agents in order to cooperate with Martin Scorsese. Of course, this is after the 21st century, but it can still be seen that Leonardo does not care too much about his agent.
But on the other hand, the current Leonardo is not the one who relies on the "Titanic" to become a top superstar after the 21st century, and it is certainly not so easy for him to change agents.
Only then did Hugo calm down and think about it seriously.
As mentioned when he and Leonardo discussed acting skills just now, Leonardo's actor career can be simply divided into two stages with "Titanic" as the boundary, but whether it is before or after, Leonardo's vision of choosing works is good, but it is too limited, although he has not become a limited genre film actor like Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise, but Leonardo's breakthroughs in acting skills are indeed not many.
Hugo couldn't help but pick up the idea just now, what would have happened if Leonardo hadn't taken over the "Titanic"? What's more, even if Leonardo still follows the historical trajectory to take over the filming of "Titanic", before this movie, Leonardo was able to use his talent to make more different attempts; And after this movie, Leonardo did not get lost in the spotlight, but calmed down to discuss acting, so what kind of changes will happen to Leonardo's career as an actor?
Hugo found it an interesting subject, as if he was curious about what kind of actor he would become, and what would happen if Leonardo's fate changed if he played "Ameri." psycho)" if Leonardo starred in "Boogie." nights)", what would that look like?
Although the agent is just a medium, most of the time it is the actor himself who really decides the script - because it is the actor who signs the contract and not the agent, but it is undeniable that the agent plays a crucial role in the planning of the actor's career and the type of script. The simplest case is Brad, who can be said to have single-handedly brought Brad to the heights he is today.
Leonardo just mentioned Ali Emmanuel, Hugo has dealt with him several times, although they are only on the side, but Hugo can still feel that Ali is a profit-oriented agent, whether it is a commercial film or an art film, Ali does not excluse, as long as it can bring him success and benefits, he will not refuse.
In fact, agents like Ali are often easy to succeed, not because of the supremacy of interests, but because of accurate goals and precise positioning, so he often has a unique vision, sharp and accurate when selecting works.
But is Ali really a good fit for Leonardo? Maybe the "Titanic" will fit later, but now it is not like this.
"Why did you think of Ali?" Hugo asked curiously.
Leonardo shrugged his shoulders, "I just think Endeavour Elite Agency is good, and then I want to find a suitable agent who can at least bring me enough contracts." I think Rick has you under him, and Tom and Al, and he should be too busy, so I thought of Ali. ”
Very much in line with Leonardo's attitude towards the agent, there are no specific requirements, there are not too many ideas, almost casual. In fact, Leonardo is more suitable for the ecology of Hollywood than Hugo, because the relationship between the actor and the agent is originally a cooperative relationship, to be more accurate, the agent is the employee of the actor, so the actor naturally has an advantage.
Hugo couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth and showed a wry smile, but he still calmed down and thought about it seriously. From an objective point of view, the joining of a potential star like Leonardo is naturally a good thing for the company, not to mention his brilliant future; From a subjective point of view, they are close friends, so Hugo is naturally willing to let Leonardo come to the company.
"I'll go back and talk to Rick and see if there's a suitable option." Hugo doesn't know much about agents in the first place, so it still depends on Rick, "But I don't think Ali is suitable for you, he is too profit-seeking, and you and him are bound to have a lot of conflicts." ”
Leonardo shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I don't know much, if you say Ali is not suitable, there must be a reason." Just ask and give me an answer. ”
