72_72291Leonardo was actually persuaded by the light yì in this way, which was far beyond Hugo's expectations, and after the phone hung up, Hugo was stunned for a while.

Leonardo starring in "Titanic" can be said to be a happy result, and it is also the result of conforming to the historical trajectory, but Hugo can't help but think of Leonardo's downfall after the release of "Titanic".

From 1998 to 2001, Leonardo's true works consisted of only one "The Man in the Iron Mask." man。 in。 the。 iron。 mask）”。 As for the 2000 "The Beach. Although it was directed by Danny Ball, due to the sensitive subject matter and the strong protest from environmentalists, it was only released on a small scale and was quickly taken offline.

In other words, after a sensational "Titanic" that caused a sensation all over the world, Leonardo almost experienced a four-year blank period, what was Leonardo doing in these four years? Immersed in alcohol, he became the king of nightclubs in New York and Los Angeles, frequently changing model girlfriends, drunk dreams, drunken gold fans, and glamour, almost killing time in a muddle.

In four years, it was not only Leonardo's temperament and personality that changed, but also made him begin to distrust his friends, because the fame that accompanied the "Titanic" made countless flesh and blood clinging to power around him, and everyone was like a vampire, trying to get a halo of fame and fortune from him; What's more, Leonardo's performance aura is exhausted, everyone is paying attention to his private life, and that handsome face has become the only label that people imprison him, no one cares about his performance, everyone just screams for his appearance, that's all.

From 1993 to 1997, from 1998 to 2001, from 2002 to 2014, these are the three important stages of Leonardo's actor career, and it is precisely the "Titanic" in 1997 that played a decisive role, so that Leonardo has never been able to break the prison on the road of chasing the Oscars for 20 years......

Leonardo didn't star in "Titanic", so what would have been the result? What would happen to the "Titanic" without Leonardo? No one can know the answer, including Hugo.

Now, Hugo has once again pulled Leonardo into the crew of the "Titanic", so does it mean that the historical trajectory will still develop the same? Does this mean that Hugo personally dragged Leonardo into the mire of fame and fortune? Does this also mean that Hugo has become a bottleneck in Leonardo's acting skills?

Thinking of Leonardo's trust, Hugo suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders weigh heavily - was his decision really the right one?

Such a thought flashed through Hugo's mind, and his shoulders were a little heavy, and he did not want to live up to Leonardo's trust. But Hugo also knew that it was foolish to predict the future, whether it was to blindly believe in the future as you knew it and sit back and relax, or to be unable to determine the unknowns in the future and hold back on it. Because he is a variable in the long river of history, no matter what the original future is, he has now become a member of it, and he can only live every present in a down-to-earth manner, so that it is possible to change every future. Fear of backing down for fear of repeating the mistakes of the past in the future is the choice of the loser.

Perhaps, Hugo can rely on his own strength to make the trajectory of history change slightly, which belongs to the spirit of glory to death, but also belongs to the spirit of "sailing"!

Hanging up Leonardo's phone, Hugo breathed a sigh of relief, and then dialed Rick's mobile phone again, telling Rick his idea, on the other end of the phone, Rick fell into complete silence, he expected Hugo to reject the "Titanic", but did not expect such a situation.

"What's your situation now?" After a moment of silence, the first thing Rick said was not about the "Titanic".

Hugo knew what Rick meant, although in the past month, Hugo didn't say anything, but the friends around him more or less still felt the changes in Hugo, as Hugo's agent, Rick was very worried about Hugo's state, not only worried about the career plan, but also worried that the situation that happened at the time of the "death row walk" would reappear.

Hugo chuckled, "I'm fine." ”

Although the answer was simple, Rick could hear the relief and relief in Hugo's voice, which made Rick feel a little relieved. "Recently, though, I've probably been spending more time in the band, and I've had some musical inspiration." Hugo's voice followed.

Rick frowned slightly, and carefully recalled that since last year's Grammy performance, Hugo has filmed three productions, "Seven Deadly Sins", "Death Row Walk" and "Independence Day", and the work intensity has never been before, and the work of the band has almost been completely put on hold. Henry didn't complain too much about this, Rick naturally knew that EMI Records must be very anxious, after all, fifteen months ago, Glory to death signed a big contract, but never released new music works, no matter how good the results of several singles are, after all, people are still more looking forward to the advent of the new album.

Thinking of this, Rick breathed a sigh of relief, after winning the Oscar, Hugo really needs a buffer period, don't look at the recent excitement of major film companies, but on the contrary, it is the most dangerous period. Behind the blazing fire and flowers, it is often easy to get dizzy. Although Rick doesn't believe in the so-called Little Golden Man curse, he also knows that Hugo's next work must not be sloppy.

Perhaps, Hugo's rejection of the "Titanic" was indeed a wise choice. As for Leonardo......

"Okay, I see, I'll get in touch with Joe, your focus has shifted to the band lately." Rick replied neatly that this is also Rick's most important trait, ambitious but not greedy.

If you change to another agent, you will only think about striking while the iron is hot at this time, Hugo's momentum has reached the highest point in history, the excellent scripts of major film companies are at your disposal, and even a masterpiece like "Titanic" is waiting for Hugo's favor, how can such a good opportunity be missed; But the real heroes should know that knowing how to advance and retreat and grasp the balance is not a retreat, but a new round of storms brewing, ready for greater success.

This kind of rationality has not been carried away by the success of the past two years, and it is still developing at a high speed.

"Have you talked to Leo?" After Rick reacted, the first question hit the core. As Leonardo's agent, Rick naturally knows Leonardo's pickiness, even if he wants Leonardo to star in "Titanic", Leonardo may not be willing.

Hugo couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, I talked to him. I guess there should be no problem. ”

Rick nodded slightly, "However, is there really no problem for Leo to star in 'Titanic'?" Rick conceived it in his head, because the male protagonist of "Titanic" has always been locked by Hugo, it can basically be said to revolve around Hugo. Now that there is a sudden change of candidate, Rick also needs to reorganize his thinking. From the production of the film to the promotion strategy, it is estimated that a complete change will be required.

"Rick, trust me, Leo is the best fit." Hugo gave an affirmative answer.

Rick certainly believes in Hugo's vision, and although he has only been working with Hugo for two years, Hugo's sensitivity to his work is unmatched by anyone, even agents like Michael Ovitz and William Morris.

"Okay, I see." Rick didn't ask too much, in fact, for him, as long as it is an artist under him, whoever finally gets the opportunity to perform, it is actually the same. Hugo will definitely not lack options, so it is good that Leonardo can get the opportunity to perform, and Rick also knows that Leonardo has unlimited potential, and he is likely to become another superstar after Hugo, and he is very happy to win more opportunities for Leonardo. The real problem is Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount. And, of course, James Cameron, who must not be forgotten. That's Rick's job, though.

The two phone calls ended quickly, and Fokine drove to town, where there were plenty of specialized camping supply stores right next to the Grand Canyon. A group of five people, led by Hugo, entered the store to make a big purchase, and then they also bought their own change of clothes, plus the supplies that Hugo and Fujin worked together to complete, this road trip can be regarded as a real one.

After the shopping was done, they didn't rush to explore the Grand Canyon immediately, but returned to the RV and began to lie down. Yesterday after a day of travel, so many things happened after a sleepless night, both energy and body have begun to bottom out, and it is definitely a stupid thing to start entering the Grand Canyon without rest.

Compared to his teammates, Hugo almost got his head on the pillow and immediately fell asleep, a habit he had developed over the past month, adapting to life on the road in all aspects, both physically and mentally. Although the others were still inevitably a little uncomfortable, the tiredness hit quickly, and they soon fell asleep.

In a daze, Hugo heard a sharp ringing all the time, he sat up vigilantly, looked at the four bodies that were motionless around him, and strongly suspected that they would not wake up even if the earthquake came at this time, Hugo rubbed his eyes, looked around, and found that it was his mobile phone ringing.

Who will call him at this time? Hugo got up and walked towards the phone, the mobile phone ringtone that he thought would hang up kept ringing, Hugo picked up the phone, picked it up, and ended the urging ringtone, "Hello, this is Hugo." ”

"Hello, this is James Cameron.".
