Hugo looked at Macaulay who began to sing and dance in front of him, it was a very funny scene, as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw, but Hugo couldn't laugh, only a lingering sadness in his heart.

Hugo did not sympathize with Macaulay, because Macaulay's experience was a necessary way to enter Hollywood, the Vanity Fair, and not only Macaulay, but everyone had to withstand the test. But looking at Macaulay in front of him, Hugo was thinking about a heavier topic of sadness: what can they do when the aura surrounding the artists is gone?

Katharine Hepburn is an answer, she has always been active on the stage, enjoying the bleakest but also the most free and casual days of her artistic life; Gregory Peck is an answer, away from the limelight and quietly enjoying his life as an ordinary person......

But this is only the best side, there are more people in the entertainment industry who have never achieved glory, and they may have starred in the protagonist of a youth campus idol drama and are famous; Maybe become a member of a band and follow the big army on tour; Maybe you have ever stood under the spotlight and felt the heat of the lights and the noise of cheering...... What about these people after they leave the stage?

How could a man like Macaulay, who was struggling and unwilling to leave the stage—how could he be willing to return to the ordinary daily life of the glory of all people's cheers?

Vanity Fair is like a pool of blood that eats people and does not spit out bones, and only one person can succeed if a thousand people come in, but the poppies that bloom proudly in the middle of the pool of blood are so charming and moving, they still attract countless people to continue to follow one after another.

Macaulay sang and danced so stubbornly and panickedly, and Hugo's memory remembers that he had been on Broadway for several years when he disappeared into the entertainment industry, but at least not now. Macaulay in front of him was too nervous, his voice was completely tense, and he barely stepped on the pitch, but the tune had begun to be absurd, but his body movements still seemed very smooth, and it could be seen that this was Macaulay's best performance.

No one stopped Macaulay, not that everyone was watching his jokes, but that everyone didn't know what to do. On the one hand, because Macaulay is a child, it is difficult for the staff to directly use violence against him, not to mention that he was a world-famous superstar not long ago; But on the other hand, Macaulay's behavior disturbed the audition at the scene, leaving more than 2,000 people waiting at the scene, and it was definitely not okay to let it go.

Kit, who was standing on the side, looked very happy, and even took the initiative to high-five and beat the rhythm, and from time to time he roared viciously, "Sing well, beat!" Beat! After saying that, the smile on his face was piled up again, and the speed of the change of face was almost jaw-dropping.

However, Kitt did not pay much attention to his son, his gaze constantly swept over Hugo, Joseph, Roland, and others, as if seeking their approval, and the greedy gaze in those eyes stenched in the cloudy alcohol, which was disgusting.

After the performance of a song, Macaulay stood still and gasped, apparently the short performance had consumed too much of his body, and the emaciated face and shadowy eye sockets made Hugo strongly suspect that Macaulay was poisonous. Addicted - of course, this was just his own speculation.

But Kit didn't pay any attention to Macaulay, but took half a step forward, looking at the people in front of him, but the focus was always a little blurry, as if he wasn't sure who he should look at - Hugo, who he had been looking for, was standing in front of him, but he didn't see it, his drunken eyes were like looking for North Star in the fog, knowing what he was looking for but never having any direction.

"So......" finally Kitt looked at Roland, "you go and tell Hugo Lancaster and let these people disperse, since the roles have already been chosen, there is no need to delay everyone's time." ”

Roland looked at Hugo, who was standing beside him, his expression was very strange, and the ridiculous struggle really made people laugh, "Uh, what did you say?" Roland saw that Hugo didn't mean to make a sound, as a director and producer, he naturally needed to take over the initiative, "The role is chosen?" Why didn't I understand what you meant? ”

"Mike! Macaulay Culkin! That's the character you want, he's standing in front of you right now! Kitt pushed his son over, as if showing his trophy, Macaulay had also faded from nervousness and cowardice at this time, although he still glanced at Kitt timidly, but he still cheered up, held his head high, raised his chin, and showed himself to everyone with a proud attitude, "He is the first choice of the actor in the movie, there is absolutely no problem, Hugo will be happy to be able to cooperate with Mike, believe me." ”

Although Macaulay at this moment is really sad, the two fathers and sons seem to be putting on a show, especially the repeatedly mentioned party Hugo is standing aside, but Kitt is talking nonsense to Roland, such a scene is so joyful, the children who are sitting in the chairs next to them can't help but laugh, even if their parents are trying to stop it, but the laughter on the scene still rang out in a hundred and eight.

Not to mention the children, even Joseph felt his facial muscles twitch as he stood aside.

Roland glanced at Hugo, and found that Hugo also had a crying and laughing expression on his face, and then he said to Kitt, "I don't think so, today is an open audition, this is only the first round, we need to do some screening, and the real decision still needs to be discussed." What's more......" Roland looked at Macaulay, he wanted to say that Macaulay's age was not suitable at all, and Kitt completely regarded today's audition as the leading actor, which was far from the original intention of the crew......

But Roland's words were rudely interrupted by Kit, "What? Do you want to discuss it again? Mike has already performed in front of you, aren't you still satisfied? Mike is the best choice for you, there's no doubt about it, I don't know what you're thinking! ”

It seems that Kitt is still immersed in the situation he had been two years ago, and with the momentum of Macaulay at the time, he didn't need to audition at all. So in Kitt's opinion, Macaulay's willingness to come to the audition, and he also performed, was already a gift to the "Armageddon" crew.

This is the real big name, or arrogance. Hugo finally saw it today, and Kitt must have made it possible to call it "friendly" with his previous ultra-high requirements for Twentieth Century Fox, no wonder Kevin Burns agreed so readily, "No wonder Rick said he should be more ruthless......" Hugo suddenly realized at this time.

"No, that's not how things work." Roland waved his hand again and again, as a Hollywood recruit, Roland is still relatively cautious in handling things, otherwise he will not retreat again and again in the insistence on the script this time, so in the face of the once smash hit Macaulay, he also seems a little constrained, "We have to have a second and third round of deliberations later, and now it's just the first round." ”

Kit looked at Roland with a stunned expression, then muttered a few foul words irritably, and waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, when and where will the second round of auditions be held, you call me to tell me this information......"

What this means is that they have already passed the first round of auditions. But Roland doesn't remember when he said Macaulay.

"Sorry, Macaulay won't be able to audition for the next audition, he doesn't meet our criteria." Joseph opened his mouth and decided to take over the situation, and Joseph's handling was obviously much more neat than that of Roland, because he knew that it didn't make sense with a scoundrel like Kit.

Kit looked at him incredulously, and Joseph continued, "We're asking for children between the ages of five and twelve, Macaulay ......" Joseph looked up and down at Macaulay, who was standing next to him, "he's over that line, and he doesn't meet it." ”

"Grass! Grass! Kitt's foul words directly interrupted Joseph's later words, "You let Hugo come out, you let Hugo come out!" Kitt took a step and rushed towards Joseph, but Joseph was not afraid at all, but also took a step to force up, which made Kitt startled, took a half step back, and almost fell down without standing firmly, and finally controlled his balance, and then he foamed at the mouth and said, "Let Hugo's bastard come out, he caused Mike to lose his job at the beginning, and now he plans to ban Mike again?" That shameless bastard, if he has the guts to go against Brad Pitt, will only bully one kid what's the matter! ”

Kitt's remarks confused everyone at the scene, and many people cast their eyes on Hugo. Hugo himself is even more inexplicable, this is the first time he has met Macaulay, right? Why didn't he remember that he had caused Macaulay to lose his job? The age, appearance, and conditions of the two of them are completely different from the same type, and there is no competition at all, where did Kitt's words come from?

Not only Hugo, but also the other onlookers did not understand, they hoped that Hugo would give an answer, but they were doomed to disappointment.

"Hey, man, I'm here." Hugo said hello and waved his hand awkwardly. Joseph looked at Hugo worriedly, such a bad thing, to avoid affecting the image of the artist, is generally handled by the agent or manager, simply put, the black pot is carried by them to ensure the positive image of the artist.

But Hugo gave Joseph a "fine" look and said, "If you have any questions, you can tell me directly." ”

Kit followed the voice, and then looked stunned and frightened, as if completely frightened; Macaulay, who was standing on the side, had already seen Hugo, and he immediately ran to Hugo at this time, hugged Hugo again, and looked up at Hugo with pleading eyes, as if Hugo would not let go if he didn't nod his head and agree.
