According to Hugo's original plan, he was not going to attend the celebration banquet of "Die Hard 3", firstly, because he had participated in too many factions recently, and secondly, he really had nothing to do with the crew.

But Rick's words still made Hugo change his mind, "You are absent this time, there will be a next time." This is Hollywood, and every day is pie duì time. If Twentieth Century Fox really has sketched out a blueprint as Rick said, "Away from Las Vegas" is just the first brick, and there are plans after that, then they certainly won't give up so easily, opportunities will always appear, not "Die Hard 3", it can be a charity banquet or something, Hugo will still attend after all.

In this case, it is better to be generous and take the initiative to attack, but you can see clearly what kind of medicine is sold in the 20th Century Fox gourd.

Sure enough, after Hugo arrived at the scene with his female companion Cameron, he felt the heat of the pie. The reporters gathered at the door recorded the moment immediately, and it is conceivable that the headlines of newspapers and magazines will appear tomorrow, even if Hugo is not the protagonist of the night at all.

Entering the banquet hall, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, who had not seen each other for a long time, greeted him as hosts, and Bruce directly gave Hugo a warm hug, although Demi had been looking at Hugo unpleasantly during the filming of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", but now Hugo is no longer what it used to be, not to mention that Bruce and Hugo have accumulated a lot of friendship with "Pulp Fiction", so Demi did not put on a face anymore, but received Cameron with a smile, showing a completely different new attitude.

Unexpectedly, Hugo also saw Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who had no direct connection with the crew of "Die Hard 3", and Hugo officially introduced Cameron to the couple. It wasn't long before Hugo saw Mike Figes, no doubt.

Today, Mike Figeis didn't hide it anymore, and after a brief greeting, he asked, "What do you think of the 'Stay Out of the Casino' script?" Actor, I think you are really suitable, and I believe that your delicate and profound performance will give soul to this character. ”

Hugo actually saw Nicolas Cage not far away, and looked at Mike playfully, "Are you serious?" Am I a good fit for this role? ”

Standing next to Nicholas was Marvin Josephson, and although Hugo knew he was certainly not the only one to "stay away from the casinos" and that it was impossible for a big company like Twentieth Century Fox to put all its eggs in one basket, he was surprised that they moved so quickly.

Of course, what is even more interesting is how Nicholas got involved with "staying away from the casino". Marven is Nicholas's current agent, but obviously Marven is not an agent who knows how to appreciate literary and artistic works, and a large-scale production such as "Brave Death Island" is Marven's value orientation.

By the way, "Brave Island" chose Alex in the end, and Nicholas passed by this work.

"Hugo, if someone sues me that you are suitable for the role of Amon Goss, I will definitely not believe it first." Mike's words made Hugo take his gaze back, and at least on Mike's face, Hugo saw a sincere sense of urgency.

Perhaps, in Kevin Pence's eyes, "Away from Las Vegas" is just a simple project that could be a stepping stone to the next step in Twentieth Century Fox's plans, but for Mike, it's the work of all his hard work, and it's a desperate deposit.

Mike looked into Hugo's eyes earnestly, "But you used your performance to let everyone witness the resurrection of Amon Goss." That's the actor I'm looking for the most, and I know exactly what kind of chemistry you're going to have and what kind of sparks you're going to have if you play Ben, and I can't wait to see you in this production." ”

Hugo nodded slightly, "I must admit that it should have been the most difficult role I have taken on so far." "It is precisely because I don't understand, precisely because Hugo and Ben are two extremes, that the performance will be more difficult, and this is different from Amon Goss, which is the essential difference of the whole outlook on life. The performance itself is Hugo's self-denial and self-subversion.

Hearing this, Mike's eyes suddenly lit up, and the excitement couldn't be suppressed at all, and he knew that Hugo was different. Scripts like "Stay Away from the Casino" are something that most actors won't read, because the overall pattern is too restrictive, too literary and artistic. "Right now I'm trying to convince Winona Ryder to play the lead role, she's interested in the script, and I can't wait to see your partner perform if you're willing to take on the film."

The heroine of "Away from the Casino" should be Elisabeth. shue), this work is also the only highlight of her acting career, before which she appeared in movies mostly as a vase, and the small pattern of "away from the casino" and the image of the opposite taste allowed her to show her inner self.

So many people have been debating whether it is the actor who makes the role, or the character who makes the actor. Many actors with mediocre acting skills are often able to explode with amazing chemistry after playing the right role, and even get recognition from the academy.

However, now Mike has actually targeted Winona Ryder, which is really a huge surprise.

Winona is a famous genius girl in Hollywood history, who bursts out with amazing charm and energy in her works at a young age, delicate and gentle acting skills but without losing explosive power, "Little Women", "The Age of Innocence", "Girl, interrupted" and other works have witnessed her talent. It's a pity that she was trapped under huge pressure and became injured Zhongyong, and her nearly 30-year career as an actor has not been able to get the affirmation of a little golden man.

If Winona, who is only twenty-four years old, were to play "Far from the Casino", Hugo couldn't help but start imagining the picture in his mind, and it was obvious that this would be a completely different scene from the original, and no matter what the finished product was, at least it would be very wonderful in Hugo's brain. Winona has enough ability to show the despair, vulnerability, and loneliness in the character.

I have to say, Mike is very convincing.

Later, Hugo met Kevin Pence and several other mid-level executives of Twentieth Century Fox, but they invariably avoided "staying away from the casino" and did not mention the film in the course of their conversation, as if it were purely a celebration of "Die Hard 3".

If it weren't for the fact that Mike has been trying his best to win the favor of the middle and upper echelons of Twentieth Century Fox, there would still be R. Lee Elmi, R. lee。 Ermey), Hugo almost thinks that today's pie has nothing to do with "staying away from the casino".

r。 Lee Elmy, who once relied on Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" to get an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, also starred in "Away from Las Vegas". Coupled with the frequent activities of Nicholas, this also means that on today's pie, casting for "away from the casino" is also an important task.

When Hugo still sensed that something was wrong, Bill Pullman (Bill), who had just relied on the success of "love at first sight" in April, finally opened up the situation in Hollywood. pullman) took the initiative to greet Hugo, "I've heard Sandra say a lot of things about you, such as Hugo can play the guitar when preparing for filming, for example, Hugo will definitely follow the regular procedure when he moves, it's really an honor to meet you today." ”

Then the appearance of the four Baldwin brothers also made the situation lively, Alec Baldwin (alec. Baldwin), Daniel Baldwin. Baldwin), William Baldwin (William. baldwin), Stephen Baldwin. baldwin), which dazzled Hugo for a while.

So much so that then I saw Adam Baldwin. baldwin), Hugo's first reaction was, "Oh, I just talked to you...... The brothers talked, and they are there now. Hugo also tried to put on a calm expression, hiding the fact that he didn't remember whether there was an Adam among the four brothers just now, and calmly pointed to a corner not far away.

As a result, the other party said with a smile on his face, "Although my surname is Baldwin, I have no relationship with their family. ”

Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, "So your Baldwin is not that Baldwin, it's like Robert Jr. downey。 jr。 Not Robert Downey. towne). ”

Adam Baldwin chuckled, "Yes, our last name is the same and the spelling is all the same, but ...... I am not related to their family. ”

Hugo felt more and more that memorizing names was a difficult task.

The reason why Hugo feels that something is wrong is because there are too many people today who have nothing to do with "Die Hard 3". Ostensibly, as Rick speculated, this was a twentieth-century Fox pie held for propaganda; But Hugo knew that this was also a casting party to "stay away from the casino", but the question was, was it just to "stay away from the casino"? When pigs fly.

So, Rick is right, Twentieth Century Fox must have something else going on. But the question is, are they plotting against Hugo?

"Hey, Hugo, you must come over and get to know this gentleman." Kevin enthusiastically walked over with a man with a big smile on his face.

Hugo looked at it fixedly, then laughed, "Mimika? Why are you here? ”

The person who came forward gave Hugo a big hug, "Very good, you haven't forgotten my name, I can show off to Steven when I go back." After speaking, he patted Hugo's back vigorously, looking very intimate, "I heard that you will be attending tonight, so I rushed over." God, how long have we not seen each other? ”

"One year...... Right? I remember the last time it was at the Oscars? Hugo looked very relaxed, the smile on his face was imprinted from the corners of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes, and he looked in a good mood.
