Kate Beckinsale had a smile on her face, but she was a little nervous inside. Leonardo, Haley and Hugo are all too familiar relationships, and can even be said to be good friends; And Toni Colette, although not familiar with Hugo, seems very sophisticated.

You must know that Toni was nominated for Best Supporting Actress by the Australian Film Association at the age of eighteen, and then won the Australian Film Association Best Actress at the age of twenty-one. Tony, who is not yet twenty-six years old this year, has already shown enough commendable acting ability. Moreover, Toni and Hugo, who are independent filmmakers, obviously have a lot in common, and the whole scene seems to be at ease.

Only Kate herself - she is only a year younger than Tony, and after entering the acting industry, she has never had a dazzling masterpiece. In fact, when she was at Oxford University, Kate was always an independent woman, she knew exactly what she wanted, and she knew what she was good at, confident and calm. She majored in French and Russian literature at school, in fact, she and Hugo should have a lot in common - because she inquired before coming to Hollywood, Hugo has a very deep knowledge of French literature, and the two people who are also from prestigious universities should have a lot of common language.

At the first meeting, Kate and Hugo did have a good conversation, which gave her a lot of confidence.

But today is different, Kate is deeply aware that the next thing is about to start filming, which has nothing to do with literature, this is the field of acting - an area that is not so familiar to her, and she is now facing Hugo Lancaster, perhaps one of the most outstanding actors in the world at the moment, and the pressure of this huge pressure has come over her, and she can't help but start to get nervous.

After Hugo greeted everyone separately, he found that Kate, who had been standing in the corner and was extremely quiet, also stepped forward, "Everything is okay?" Are you upset because of my tardiness, or are you disappointed because of Leo's cheese? Hugo and Kate had already met at the audition, and the two had a lot in common about French literature, which shortened the distance between the two and made Hugo's words more relaxed.

"Hey!" Leonardo heard Hugo tease his cheese and let out a dissatisfied voice.

Kate couldn't help but show a shallow smile, "No, it's good, everything is fine." Kate bit her lower lip slightly, hesitating and still not expressing her inner worries.

Hugo only looked at it roughly, and he could clearly feel Kate's heaviness hidden between his eyebrows, a very shallow gloom, as if it was just a white cloud in the clear blue sky, but Hugo did not miss it.

Kate, who is only twenty-five years old now, does not have the style of a royal sister shown in the later "Legend of the Night", but her deep facial features and delicate face have already outlined the thrilling beauty, and the temperament that combines classical beauty and modern beauty looms in one. But on the whole, Kate still looks a little immature now, and the kind of youth and ignorance that is not deep in the world is a little unfamiliar, but it also brings a different style to Kate's beauty.

I have to say that even if Kate is a vase, she is definitely a vase of extreme beauty.

It was precisely because of this youthfulness that Hugo could see Kate's inner emotions at once, but Hugo and Kate were not too familiar, and the two could only be regarded as the second official meeting, so although he noticed the hidden worry in Kate's clear eyes, he did not ask.

"That couldn't be better." Hugo said with a smile, looking at his fellow crew members who were already heading towards the elevator, Hugo made an inviting gesture, "Right after you." ”

Kate showed a polite smile and took a step, Hugo followed side by side, but his eyes were already looking at the colleagues in front of him, at this time everyone had already entered the elevator, Haley sketched a sweet smile, beckoned to Hugo, and motioned for Hugo to hurry up.

But before Hugo could make a move, Leonardo pressed his cheese on his knees, quickly pressed the close button, and while pressing, he was still sitting on Hugo with a grimace, which made Hugo very helpless, and wanted to catch up, but before he could start, the elevator door was closed, and then he saw Leonardo's triumphant smile. However, before the elevator was completely closed, he saw that Leonardo's balance had lost a little, and the cheese in his hand suddenly became unstable, and he hurriedly began to save the cheese in his hand, the action was like a juggling craftsman in a circus, so not funny, especially with that exaggerated expression, it was simply too joyful.

But without waiting for Hugo to look at the following, the elevator door was closed like this, and all the pictures in his mind were frozen at that moment just now, and the abrupt sense of comical made Hugo couldn't help but sneer, and the eyebrows were full of smiles, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.

Kate, who was standing next to her, also saw this scene and couldn't help laughing. This little laughter made Kate's body relax, and then he heard Hugo say, "It seems that during this filming, our crew will be very lively." Two kids! ”

Kate was stunned, then reacted and said with a smile, "Isn't it five?" Hugo also realized it immediately, and his smile couldn't help but bloom even bigger. Kate looked at Hugo's expression, paused, the thoughts in her mind rushed to her mouth again, and pursed her lips vigorously, "Hugo, can I ask you a question?" ”

Hugo turned his head when he heard the voice, and Kate saw that relaxed and smiling face came into view, and the doubts in his eyes were just right, not too aggressive, not too detached, and the words blurted out, "Why did you think of letting me play Anna in the first place?" After saying that, Kate felt that her words were a little ambiguous, and couldn't help but try to add, "I mean ......"

Hugo understood, "You mean, how did we think of you when you didn't have any masterpieces?" In fact, when Knight mentioned Kate, Hugo was also a little surprised.

Kate nodded, "I believe that there are not 10,000 but 8,000 actors in Hollywood who want to work with you," this exaggerated number made Hugo chuckle, "but you chose me." When I received your call in London, I was speechless. ”

Now Kate is completely penniless in Hollywood, and even her name is not in the Screen Actors Guild.

Hugo was not in a hurry at all, and nodded his chin with a smile. In fact, it can be seen now that in addition to Kate's lack of confidence, she also reveals her calmness and caution, and she was not carried away by this pie falling from the sky. This trait has been carried over throughout Kate's career, and it has allowed her to firmly occupy a place in Hollywood, where "a new generation replaces the old".

"At the beginning of this year, there was a movie called 'Disco Doomsday' at the Sundance Film Festival, and the film itself was not as good as Stillman's previous 'Metropolis', but the performance of the two heroines in the movie was eye-catching. Later, many people went to find information about the two heroines. ”

Hugo's unhurried words made Kate stunned, and countless thoughts began to surge in her mind, of course she remembered the work "Disco Doomsday", director Whitt Scottman is not one of Hollywood's top directors, but his works have always been unique. Whitt came to London to audition for her, and she won the role, which became her second full-fledged American film - the first being "Haunted" released in 1995.

Kate had thought about a lot of possibilities, such as Whitt recommending her to Hugo, and actor Aidan Quinn, who had worked with her in "Shuttle Love", mentioning her...... And so on, but I didn't expect that relying not on connections, but on her own works, her own performance, won her the opportunity to cooperate with Hugo this time.

"So, you've seen that movie at Sundance?" Kate asked curiously, the uneasiness and apprehension before she was about to know the answer made her mouth a little dry.

Hugo shook his head, and this action made Kate look disappointed, "No, I saw it later, and my friend recommended this work to me." I had a limited impression of the film, but I remembered the character of Charlotte. Charlotte, that's the name of Kate's character in "Disco Doomsday," "You know, you're very solid in acting, and you're continuing the fine tradition of British actors. ”

In fact, Kate was taken by Kenneth during her junior year. Branagh) starred in her first film. She is not an actor from an orthodox acting school, although she comes from an acting family - her father is a famous comedian in the United Kingdom, and her mother is also a professional stage actress - Kate's acting skills are indeed very solid since she was a child; But on the whole, there is still a gap compared to the actors with professional backgrounds.

Due to her background in the UK and the requirements of the entire actor environment, after Kate decided that she wanted to take the path of an actor, she began to enter formal acting studies and tried to accumulate more experience in stage plays, but even so, Kate still feels that her ability is insufficient, and her experience is even more lacking.

At this moment, hearing Hugo's affirmative words made Kate's tense heartstrings relax slightly, and this feeling was really subtle.

Kate was still too young, and Hugo once again noticed the change in her mood, and he chuckled, "As you said, I have many choices, and I don't have to be you." But I chose you in the end......" Hugo could sense Kate's lack of confidence, and he was giving her confidence at this time, but Hugo didn't express it directly, but sketched a confident smile, "Miss Beckinsale, you should believe my vision." ”
