Hugo continued to take a step forward, whispering to Curtis about the press conference and today's shooting plans, and the two producers are bound to be extremely busy on the first day of filming today. Russell and Hiss followed closely behind Hugo, and even if they couldn't say a word, they still couldn't suppress the throbbing in their hearts.

Russell and Heath's gaffes are indeed normal in the eyes of the crew, because they all know how rare the opportunity to star in the "Los Angeles Confidential" crew is, and it is rumored in the circle that Russell played the role of Bard, and there are 17 people in the entire Hollywood who are involved in the competition - 12 of these 17 candidates are from the three major agencies, and the fierce competition can be described as fierce.

And Heath's small role of Matt, the Screen Actors Guild received a full fifty-seven application forms, not to mention the grand occasion of the three major agencies fighting in order to compete for the heroine Lynn, and it is even rumored that Marvin Josephson, CEO of International Innovation Management Agency, in order to let his artist Demi Moore get the role of Lynn, scuffled with Martin Baum, a senior partner of Innovative Artist Agency, on the night of the Hugo Malibu villa party.

Of course, rumors are just rumors, and no one can confirm them. Only Barry Meyer can know how grand the casting of "Los Angeles Confidential" is this time, and as many as 63 Hollywood agencies have participated in it, jointly fighting for more than 70 roles with lines in the crew, of which as many as 600 actors have actually been exposed to role auditions. Even without deducting the four core roles, the average is close to nine actors fighting for each role.

On the surface, the finalists of Russell and Heath, including Charlize's victory, were very smooth, but in fact, the wrestling behind them was a big show.

Almost everyone in the Hollywood industry knows one thing, since the 1992 Golden Raspberry Awards, every work Hugo Lancaster has starred in, either at the box office or awards, or with both commercial and word-of-mouth, either to create miracles or to write brilliantly.

As an actor, being able to perform with Hugo is not only a dream opportunity for many new actors, but also a collaboration that many veteran actors are happy to see. From "Before Sunrise" to "Seven Deadly Sins" to "Death Row Walk", the actors who performed with Hugo all burst out with great energy and made breakthroughs repeatedly, and even Morgan Freeman lamented that the experience of playing against Hugo was one of the most unforgettable experiences of his career as an actor, "Perhaps, it is not an exaggeration to remove the 'one'".

More importantly, this time Hugo will also appear as the producer of "L.A. Confidential". For agents and actors, this is almost a guarantee for a good work, and almost a guarantee for success. Who knows if this will be the next "Independence Day" or the next "vulgar", but it is certain that no one wants to miss even the next "before sunrise".

That's why the casting process was so tragic, almost one of the most exciting events after the film industry regained its glory in the 80s, reminding people of the crazy scene of thousands of empty alleys when the "Star Wars 3" public casting in 1981.

Of course, Russell and Heath's euphoria, even gaffes, are understandable, and no one will blame them.

"We have so many locations, more than 60 locations. If we didn't want to delay the schedule, we had to make sure that we finished shooting on location at two or three locations a day...... Wait, when did David say the movie is expected to be released? Hugo stopped and looked at Curtis with some irritation.

Yesterday, Hugo got the shooting schedule, and he has been in a state of anxiety, which is not a good thing for the adjustment of the shooting state, but fortunately, Hugo is now experienced and should have no problem. But now when discussing it with Curtis, it is inevitable that he will start to get irritated again.

"September," Curtis also frowned in embarrassment, "but the exact date hasn't been set yet......?" Curtis wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Crazy, a bunch of crazy people." Hugo frowned slightly, which meant that the filming and post-production time left for "L.A. Confidential" was only less than four months, and the speed was really too rushed, "Do you plan to post-produce together, or edit every day?" Hugo looked at Curtis and asked.

"Post-production every night." Curtis replied neatly, "I plan to shoot according to the timeline, and then keep the secret of the ending, and only release the script of the day to the actors every day, and try to brew the emotions according to the course of the movie." "So far, only four of the main characters have received the full version of the script.

Hugo nodded, although he didn't know anything about the post-production of the film, but he knew exactly that they didn't have much time to waste during the filming phase, "Well, we split the budget and divided the props into three groups, and while we shoot here, the other two groups go to other locations to arrange the scenes, and then after the shooting, we move quickly, and we can go straight to the shoot when we get there." "This is also the benefit of Hugo to get more budget, obviously more room for manoeuvre.

"However, this is very strict for the actors, they must get into the state immediately, and there is no time for the actors to waste." Curtis didn't want that, but it was definitely not an easy task.

Hugo let out a long breath, but smiled at Curtis, "Luckily, our cast can be trusted. Then he gave Curtis a meaningful look.

Curtis quickly understood that among the four protagonists, except for Russell, the new face of Hollywood, the other three people's acting skills have been recognized, even Russell, his previous performances have received a lot of evaluation. In terms of the most important heroines, Charlize's three works in the past year "Before Sunrise", "Romeo and Juliet", and "Devil's Advocate" have proven their strength, especially the "Devil's Advocate" that has just been completed, and the crew is also full of praise for Charlize. At this point, you can see that the advantage comes, if you choose Kim Basinger, although it may not necessarily go wrong, but it is certain that things will not be so optimistic.

"Curtis, what is this?" Hugo's voice intended Curtis's thoughts, and he looked up and saw Hugo standing next to the trailer, Hugo had a puzzled expression on his face, because there was a huge "Hugo-Lancaster" attached to the trailer, and it was very difficult not to pay attention.

It's a huge trailer with a fully equipped RV behind it to sleep, bathe, cook, and more.

Curtis smiled, "Your mobile lounge, a gift from Barry." Although he wanted to make it lightly, he still couldn't contain the excitement in his voice.

After entering the 21st century, especially after the rapid development of the Internet, RVs have become a must-have for the top superstars of the crew, and even most of the crews will prepare one - for all the actors in the crew to use as a mobile lounge, dressing room, and dressing room, and only a few top superstars can have their own RV. On the one hand, it is in the consideration of moving, so that the crew can move at any time and does not need to clean up the scene temporarily; On the one hand, it is also for privacy reasons, and the disturbance of the onlookers to the actors has risen rapidly with the emergence of blogs, and the RV can avoid these attention to the greatest extent.

But now in 1997, not to mention the actors, not even the entire crew uses an RV too much - Hugo used it once in the "vulgar" crew, because the whole crew had to travel around Los Angeles for a long time. Of course, this is also related to the current shooting mode of the crew, and the era of commercial blockbusters has just begun. Today, Hugo has inadvertently made history by becoming the first actor in Hollywood to have a private RV lounge – a gift from the CEO of Warner Bros.

Although there were enough surprises today, Hugo still looked at the RV in front of him with a dumbfounded eye. Hugo, of course, was not short of money to buy his own private lounge, but because of the unique treatment of the crew. The special treatment is really fascinating.

"Wow, does that mean I can sleep in my RV and be late for a shoot?" Hugo said excitedly that Curtis, Heath, Russell and the rest of the staff standing next to him were all in the dark - even without an RV, no one could stop Hugo from trying to play big.

Unfortunately, before Hugo could take a serious look at the gift, he began to get busy again, because the reporters who came to the press conference had already blocked the scene, and a total of 73 media outlets and more than 200 reporters arrived at the scene, making the open-air press conference look bloated, obviously without any boundary restrictions, but still made people feel that the street was almost about to break.

Curtis and David pacified the restless media one after another, but to no avail, and the result could only be Hugo himself - as a producer.

When Hugo appeared next to the open-air temporary stands of the press conference, the reporters immediately coaxed, and Hugo understood in an instant, in fact, everyone knew that there was still half an hour before the press conference, and the uncrowned kings were deliberately making a scene to let Hugo appear - if Hugo was an actor, he could continue to avoid it, but he was a producer, so he needed to come out to maintain order. This can be regarded as a small revenge of the uncrowned kings against Hugo.

Looking at Barry Meyer, who was standing on the scene and "helping to abuse", Hugo could only laugh helplessly, then walked on the stage, took the microphone and said, "Why didn't I know that Halloween was coming early to summer?" One sentence made all the reporters on the scene laugh and look proud, "Since everyone is looking forward to our crew so much, then I can also look forward to your front page headlines tomorrow, right?" "On the front page, Hugo was almost squeezed out of his teeth.

In a word, the noise of the scene came to an abrupt end in an instant. Sure enough, Hugo is not easy to mess with.
