Hugo sat on the beach chair at the door of his RV, rubbing his cheeks with a hot egg, trying to let the bruises disperse as soon as possible, and suddenly felt that the sun was blocked, and when he looked up, he saw Charlize's figure, "So, you are still so dedicated, this makes the other actors in the crew have no way to live, and everyone hates you behind your back." ”

It is true that Hugo is now at the top of the entire Hollywood pyramid, but he is still so dedicated and hardworking, which is a good thing for the crew, but it is a huge pressure for the other actors. Even if they try their best, they may not be able to compare with Hugo, but they will still be disliked by the rest of the crew for not working hard enough.

A smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth outlined, "I think it's necessary to be a nasty once in a while." It's good to give them a reason to hate me and make them feel at ease. ”

This explanation came as a surprise to Charlize. In fact, no matter what Hugo does, Hugo is the most special in the eyes of others. Hugo doesn't work hard, they will think that Hugo has now reached the top and can win everything without trying; If Hugo tries his best, they will think that Hugo is belittling the other actors—he can easily control the situation without acting hard; Hugo tries too hard, and they will think that Hugo doesn't give other actors a way to live.

This is the consequence that Hugo has to bear, and this is the reason why it is cold in high places.

So, Hugo just insisted on himself, he knew that he couldn't please everyone, he knew that he couldn't shut everyone up, and the wisest thing to do was to be consistent: how it was before, and how it is now.

Charlize was amused by Hugo's calmness, and she sat down beside Hugo, looking earnestly at the amber eyes, as if trying to see all the signs of abnormality in them. There was a momentary pause in time, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird, which made Charlize burst out laughing, "So surely you won't mind that I'm behind my back with the other actors saying bad things about you?" ”

Hugo raised an eyebrow in surprise, "I've reached this height now?" Hugo laughed himself after speaking, "In the past, when filming, most actors liked to get together and say bad things about the leading actor. I've just said bad things about Al and Jack. But at that time, I had just won the Golden Raspberry Award, and everyone complained in front of me. ”

Charlize was completely overjoyed and nodded earnestly, "You've reached this height now, and the crew and actors are gathered behind you to talk about your gossip. ”

Hugo raised his chin and pointed to the staff in the corner of the set who were talking, "Then do you think they are now discussing the scene between me and Russell just now, or the scandal between the two of us?" ”

Charlize looked back, she hadn't thought of this question at all, and then looked at it carefully, pursed her lips and nodded her chin slightly, "I think it's both, they must think I'm ruining your relationship with Cameron, and I'm a shameless bitch." Child. Charlize teased with such a calm face that Hugo couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Joseph ran over quickly and pointed to the mobile phone in his hand, "Steven's phone." Hugo stood up and took the phone and said, "It's good that you have that attitude, and you need this kind of attitude in our scene tonight, and I think you'll play well." As a result, Charlize was provoked to one of his middle fingers, and Hugo laughed heartily, walked to the side and picked up the phone, "Hey, this is Hugo." ”

"Hugo, I'm sorry to bother you filming." On the other end of the line was Steven Spielberg, "I was just going to ask Joe if you had time to go out for a meal tonight, but now it seems unlikely." "Generally speaking, the crew works eight hours unless there is a special need, so the daily life is still the same.

"So, who is it for this time to be a lobbyist?" Hugo chuckled and joked that Steven had been a lobbyist for others many times before, hoping that Hugo would join their works, so Hugo would have this statement.

Originally, it was just a joke, but I didn't expect Steven to say, "This time I'm here to be a lobbyist for myself." At this time, Hugo was stunned, "What? ”

Steven chuckled, "If my news is correct, 'L.A. Confidential' will be completed in half a month at most, right?" So I thought, if you're interested, you can join my crew and take on important roles. ”

Suddenly, it seemed that the audition for "Schindler's List" was yesterday, when Hugo came to Steven with trepidation, participated in the audition, and persuaded Steven with his own efforts to successfully play one of the most important villain roles in film history, ushering in the first explosion of his career.

However, after that, Hugo and Steven became friends, but the cooperation between the two has never been a "second time", and the "man in black" of Steven's own producer has not been able to achieve cooperation. This also made many insiders regret it. Today, Steven extended another invitation to Hugo, but the situation is completely different from that of "Schindler's List", and Hugo is fully qualified to be on an equal footing with Steven. The power of time is always amazing.

"Your crew? So you're saying 'save Private Ryan'? Hugo's first reaction was this work. Although Hugo did not interfere much in the business of Endeavor Elite Agency, he heard a lot of news about the project of "Saving Private Ryan", which was not only the first big move since the establishment of DreamWorks, but also the work of DreamWorks and Endeavor Elite Agency to fully cooperate, and it was completely handed over to Endeavor Elite Agency to bundle and cooperate.

At present, "Saving Private Ryan" can be said to be the most important project of Endeavor Elite Agency, and the entire company has been mobilized. Although they have not signed a contract with any company to invest in the production for the time being, let alone a company that has been released, this is not a problem they need to worry about, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. are all trying to get a contract for this one production.

From "L.A. Confidential" to "Saving Private Ryan", almost the entire company of Endeavour Elite Agency has been mobilized, and all actors, big and small, have won the opportunity to star. So, it is impossible for Hugo not to hear about it.

Steven laughed, "yes, it's 'Saving Private Ryan'." At the beginning of next month, I plan to take the entire cast to the base for military training, so that everyone can really feel the urgency of war, and even receive some training in firearms and marching, and then select some soldiers to be extras. ”

Hugo had read the script of "Saving Private Ryan" and made a lot of comments. This script was written by Robert Rodart. Rodat), the writer is not prolific, with only seven works as of 2014, but each one has received a lot of critical acclaim. Maybe he can't be regarded as a ghost or a genius, but he is definitely a screenwriter with a very solid foundation, and his scripts can always reveal weight in the ordinary.

"So, this time you're going to focus on the reality and brutality of war." Hugo smiled and nodded his chin and sighed.

It can be seen that Steven's approach to the two scripts of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List" is completely different. Both works focus on war, showing the cruelty and gore of war to the fullest, and dissecting human nature from it. But "Schindler's List" is more of a psychological pressure, and the invisible smoke of gunpowder permeates the concentration camps under Amun's hands; And the historical heaviness of "Saving Private Ryan" almost came to the face, and the heaviness made everyone breathless.

The smile on the corner of Steven's mouth was a little bigger, and he couldn't help but nodded, "I have a lot of ideas about this work, and I'm sorting out my thoughts recently, hoping not to be too greedy, but to smash the work." It's a good script, and I need good ideas to make it happen. Speaking of which, Steven paused and shifted back to the real purpose, "So, I thought, I wonder if you are interested in this project and joining our crew?" ”

"Aren't you all the actors in your crew yet? I remember, you guys were auditioning for actors before I started filming this movie, right? Hugo's memory was a little vague, and he vaguely remembered that when he was still resting in Long Beach, "Saving Private Ryan" had already been set up and began to audition actors. Because this project is so huge, there are more than 300 professional actors who need to audition, and more than 100 of them have lines.

Steven sighed, "There were a lot of auditions, and most of the supporting roles have been chosen, but I'm never satisfied with the main role." In a team of eight people, I only found half of the actors who were satisfied. ”

Hugo couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that our company is still too small. "Endeavor Elite Agency wants to contract "Saving Private Ryan", which is not an easy task, not to mention that it has to pick out excellent actors, which is even more difficult. However, Steven didn't mind using an unknown rookie actor, which made Rick and the others breathe a sigh of relief. "So, do you want me to make a cameo? There's no problem with that, anyway, after I finish filming this work, it should be fine......" Speaking of this, Hugo couldn't help but stop, he thought of the script he was creating, but if you think about it carefully, he hasn't completely finished creating it yet, let alone looking for investment and creating projects in the future, so it shouldn't start filming in a short time, "Yes, it should be fine." So, what role would you like me to make a cameo? It's better to find a heroic character who is brave and righteous. ”

Steven was amused by Hugo's words and chuckled, "Lieutenant John Miller, what do you think?" ”

Lieutenant John Miller? This......
