075 Win back a city
Martin-Baum held the pen in his hand, his fingers rubbing lightly on the surface of the pen, and his eyes looked at the text on the table a little distracted, until there was a knock at the door, "Martin, Brad has arrived." Martin came back to his senses and said, "Come in." ”
Brad then walked in in a hurry, today Brad wore a white T-shirt with black leather, and his tough style was undoubtedly revealed in the faintly bursting chest muscles. At this time, Brad was in his prime, full of a sunny breath, but he also looked slightly frizzy and rough, and the recklessness of the young man was even more evident in him.
Martin looked at Brad in front of him and remembered Hugo. In fact, Martin has been thinking about Hugo just now, thinking about why this young man can make people unforgettable, and when Martin saw Brad, he found the answer, because the warm sunlight on Hugo's body may not be strong, but at the same time, it will not be as dazzling as Brad, on the contrary, it will penetrate into the skin in a warm and silent way. The young man's smile is still vivid in Martin's mind.
In fact, Hugo is four years younger than Brad, and it stands to reason that Brad should have seen more people and should be more calm and sophisticated, but this is not the case. Martin can still clearly picture the scene of the audition that night, in the face of Brad's aggressiveness, Hugo retorted unhurriedly but firmly and strongly, and the strong oppression between his gestures was as tough as a drop of water through a stone but as swift as a wind piercing.
It's no wonder that the crew of "Heroes of the Righteous Sea" chose Hugo Lancaster, not only giving up Brad Pitt, but even Tom Cruise.
"Martin? Martin! Brad looked at the agent in front of him, he looked at himself a little distracted, his eyes were empty and weak, so Brad had to raise his voice to wake Martin, and after making sure that Martin's eyes finally refocused, Brad said, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Brad didn't ask Martin why he was distracted, because he knew that even if he did, Martin wouldn't answer. So Brad walked to the couch next to him and sat down, crossing Erlang's legs.
Martin put away all his inner thoughts, looked at Brad and shook his head, "Look at you don't look nervous at all, do you feel like you don't have any problems at all?" Do you feel that you are a rising star now, and everyone will flock to you to film? I told you that you are nothing now, just a successful work, nothing at all, don't be self-righteous. ”
Brad has long been accustomed to Martin's posture, he still crosses Erlang's legs, and he doesn't care very much, but in the face of Martin's surging anger, at least he didn't lean on the back of the sofa chair anymore, but sat up straight, leaned forward slightly to look at Martin, indicating that he was listening carefully, not absent-mindedly.
"What's wrong? I haven't done anything in the past two days. Brad was confused, apparently not understanding why the agent had come to scold him again.
"'Yihai Xiongfeng', remember it again." Martin didn't beat around the bush either, and went straight to the point, which immediately made Brad vigilant.
Brad put down his upturned right foot, stopped chewing the gum in his mouth, and looked at Martin nervously and expectantly, "How's it going, this audition, the results?" Am I chosen? ”
Martin resisted the urge to roll his eyes, he just said so many things, it seemed that they were all in vain, Brad didn't understand at all, "No, you didn't get this role!" Martin said crisply.
"Damn Tom Cruise!" Brad slammed his knee hard, he thought that Tom finally compromised and got the role, and he didn't think anything else at all, muttering angrily, "He must want to raise the salary, otherwise how could he have been there for so long, and he didn't nod and sign until the last moment." Filming of this movie is going to start next week, what a cunning guy! ”
"No, it's Hugo Lancaster." Martin interrupted Brad's complaint, announcing the result.
"What?" Brad didn't react for a while, and looked at Martin with a look of disbelief.
"I said, it was Hugo who got the role, and Rob chose Hugo in the end." Martin had just gotten the results this morning, Rob had rejected Brad, and then he got the news that Tom hadn't been able to reach a deal either, so the result was simple, Hugo finally reversed and snatched the role from Tom and Brad. Of course, Martin hasn't received the final confirmation yet, and he has just left a message to Columbia Pictures hoping for a definite answer, although the chances of an accident are slim.
"Grass!" Brad stood up directly from the sofa, his face full of anger and depression, "Hugo! Hugo! Hugo! It's Hugo! Brad obviously can't accept such a result, imagine the last time he auditioned for "Big River Love", he faced Hugo's superiority, and today, Hugo actually pulled back a city and snatched the opportunity of "Yihai Heroes" from his own hands - Brad seems to have forgotten that this opportunity originally belonged to Tom, and he never really had this opportunity.
"Martin, no, anyone can play this role, it must not be Hugo." Brad rushed directly to Martin's desk, propped his hands on the table angrily, and roared with a red face, "He can't handle this role, you go and tell Rob, if I play it, I will be even better, a hundred times better than Hugo!" ”
Brad's self-confidence was hit strongly, and he originally thought that after the Golden Raspberry Award, he would watch Hugo go all the way downhill, but now it seems that this is not the case, "smelling the fragrance and knowing the woman" is not a good luck, and the opportunity of "Yihai Xiongfeng" actually came to Hugo again, especially the victory over Tom in the sky, which is really a violent impact.
Martin actually guessed Brad's reaction, although he couldn't be sure, but Tracy's role in it was still vaguely known, and in addition, Hugo won in a head-to-head confrontation with Brad this time, which would undoubtedly hit Brad's confidence hard. But Martin wasn't about to indulge Brad's arrogance.
"Don't forget it, Hugo and you both won the opportunity in front of Rob, it was you who lost this audition, if you want to be outstanding, in Rob's eyes, he has already chosen Hugo, you can't compare to him at all." Martin took another dose of the potion, which made Brad's face pale in an instant.
Then Martin quickly stood up and yelled at Brad's depressed face, "If you are at this level, you don't want to compete with Hugo, he is a hundred times better than you." If you're really a man, pick yourself up again, stop playing all day, and be so happy that you can't find your way with a little achievement. There will always be opportunities, even if there are none, I will create them for you, what you have to do is to enhance your strength and seize these opportunities! ”
Martin called Brad over, the purpose is to hit Brad's self-confidence, recently Brad seems to be a little complacent and can't find the north, so Martin must be vigilant, but as an agent, he can't hit Brad head-on, and his advice Brad is estimated to be difficult to listen to. So Martin can only seize this opportunity in the hope of rekindling Brad's fighting spirit.
Sure enough, Brad gritted his teeth, and he quickly realized that in the two competitions he had with Hugo, the result was only one win and one loss, and he didn't really lose the game. So, he doesn't need to be decadent or depressed at all, what he needs to do is find his way back and get ready for the next competition.
"Hugo Lancaster, our competition has just begun!" Brad clenched his right fist and slammed it the desk, but he didn't feel any pain, only infinite fighting spirit!
On the other hand, after Joseph confirmed the news, he also returned home from the company in high spirits, looked at the door on the third floor and shouted in the corridor, "Hugo! Hugo! There was almost irrepressible excitement and joy in his voice, which made the three people who were helping to pack their luggage in Charlize's room all come out, looking at Joseph, who had lost his usual calm, with a look of surprise.
"Hugo!" Joseph didn't seem to notice his gaffe at all, he still said in a trembling voice that was two tones higher than usual, "You got the role of Daniel, you defeated Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt to get the role, you can play the role of 'Yihai Heroes', you can cooperate with Rob and Jack!" ”
Joseph said a lot directly, but the information couldn't be clearer, Hugo relied on his own efforts to get another role! This caused the joy in Hugo's chest to fill up in an instant, and then exploded, bursting into beautiful fireworks on the tips of his eyebrows, eyes and mouth.
"Really?" Hugo excitedly ran towards Joseph, "Really? Asked one after another, Joseph couldn't help nodding his head in affirmation, and then saw Hugo jump up directly on the spot, swinging his fist fiercely, completely releasing the joy in his heart.
The success of this audition was so important and hard-won that it was no wonder that Joseph lost his temper and Hugo was even more excited.
Even Carl and Charlize, who were standing next to him, were also infected, although Charlize didn't know much about the situation, and he didn't know how important this audition was, but the two of them also cheered together, and joined Hugo and Joseph in celebration with the most direct action.
"Oh yes!" Alex, who had just walked into the room, saw the four people who were celebrating, and cheered together for some reason, the excited expression on his face was not jerky or embarrassed at all, "Wow, that's great!" That's great! Alex's shouts were even more exaggerated than the other four combined.
When everyone was over shouting, gasping and standing in place, looking at each other with joy on their faces, Alex suddenly asked, "It looks really good, what are we celebrating?" ”
