Honestly, the current Macaulay is not suitable for the pitiful innocent expression.

If it was Macaulay when filming "Home Alone", his pitiful look would probably break the hearts of countless people; But now Macaulay looks like an addiction. The gentleman, with the strange father who is vexatious next to him, is really difficult to sympathize.

However, Hugo still patiently broke Macaulay's hands, Hugo could feel that Macaulay was trying his best to hold himself, but at this time Macaulay was too thin and weak, and he didn't have much strength at all, so he was broken by Hugo, and then Hugo saw that Macaulay's blue eyes were full of tears, which really made Hugo cry and laugh.

"Good morning, Macaulay, I'm Hugo." Hugo half-squatted down, trying to keep his sight level with Macaulay, but in fact, it was very difficult, because Macaulay's height was quite not embarrassing, squatting down Macaulay was too tall, not squatting down Hugo was too tall, Hugo could only support his knees and half-squatted down, smiled and introduced himself, and then gently asked, "I caused you to lose your job before?" ”

Hugo was already very affable, and he was even more popular in front of children, Macaulay nodded hesitantly, "Yes, Dad sued me, it's because of you, so there is no script to come to me......" Macaulay paused here, glanced at Kit quietly, and then said with a crying voice, "The box office of 'Little Devil's Trick' is so bad, it's all because you ......"

Macaulay is fifteen years old this year, and Hugo is really a little unbearable to see a fifteen-year-old teenager crying in front of him, this age is no longer suitable for an eight-year-old. But even so, Hugo patiently listened to Macaulay's explanation.

It turned out that Kit blamed Hugo for the fiasco of the "imp move". At the beginning, "Little Devil Moves" and "Speed of Life and Death" were released at the same time, and Kit, under the instigation of the "New York Post", made a lot of nonsense and made disrespectful remarks about Hugo. The final result is known to everyone, the box office of "Life and Death" is like a bamboo, and "Little Devil Move" ushered in a painful defeat.

What Hugo didn't know was that Macaulay's last previous release work, "Master Vivico", was also defeated by Hugo, when the box office battle between "Vulgar" and "Night Interview with Vampire", almost everyone focused on this showdown, and "Master Vivico" didn't even stir up a wave, like a speck of dust falling on the surface of a calm lake - not even a ripple.

Therefore, Kitt has always blamed Hugo for all the faults, believing that Hugo ended Macaulay's career as an actor. Today, "The End of the World" publicly auditioned for child actors, and Kitt brought Macaulay to the door to collect interest - not to mention, Kit also clearly knew that "The End of the World" can definitely be said to be the core of the topic, which is bound to attract everyone's attention, which can also be the key to Macaulay's career restart.

After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Hugo really realized what it means to cry and laugh, and he couldn't even get angry, just speechless and ridiculous for a while, which made people sigh that there are no wonders in the world!

"Hehe, if you say so, I really have a lot of debts." Hugo said self-deprecatingly, and all the staff around him couldn't hold back, and laughed directly.

Recalling the box office miracle created by Hugo in the past few years, if according to Kitt's logic, all those box office failures in the same schedule have to settle accounts with Hugo, then Hugo can almost be regarded as a public enemy.

Macaulay didn't seem to understand what Hugo's words meant, and still looked at Hugo blankly. At the age of fifteen, I still don't know anything about the situation in this society, I don't understand communication and I don't understand the truth, which is actually a kind of sadness, the sadness of family education.

Hugo took a deep breath and said solemnly to Macaulay, "I'm sorry, we can't give you a job, not even the first round of auditions, because you don't meet our requirements." I'm looking for a son, not a ...... Brother. Strictly speaking, Macaulay's age is indeed very embarrassing, playing Hugo's son in "The End of the World", he is too old; plays Hugo's younger brother, who is too young to play a role in promoting the plot. Therefore, Macaulay is destined to miss the "end of the world".

"Hugo, Hugo......" Macaulay saw Hugo slowly stand up straight, and quickly grabbed Hugo's hands, pleading bitterly, those eyes were full of tears again, which made people really unbearable to watch, especially his panicked eyes kept drifting behind him, Kitt stood aside and didn't seem to figure out the situation yet, which made people think of how Kitt treated Macaulay.

Hugo sighed lightly, he was not a savior, he could not help everyone. It's one thing to participate in charity activities and help children who are suffering from illness within your means; It's another thing to work for Macaulay because he sympathizes with him, there are countless actors like Macaulay who have failed their careers and are struggling in Hollywood, and Hugo himself is just an actor, he can't help everyone, and he has no obligation to help everyone.

What's more, the more than 2,000 children who came to the audition today to participate in the role are the protagonists of today's audition, not Macaulay in front of him, and Hugo does not need to be responsible for the failure of Macaulay's career.

"Hugo," a low voice came from beside him, and Hugo turned his head to see that it was Cameron, and he didn't know when Cameron came over. At this time, Cameron's eyebrows were filled with a thick amount of unbearability, and she gently tugged Hugo's arm, "Can't you help him?" ”

Although Hugo knew that Cameron was just soft-hearted and was not accusing him of being hard-hearted, Hugo still couldn't help choking when he heard Cameron's words. "Cameron, Hugo doesn't have any responsibility for Macaulay, you have to know that." Joseph, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore and explained.

Cameron also realized the ambiguity of his words at this time, and a trace of chagrin appeared in his eyes, and he threw an apologetic look at Hugo. Hugo smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was okay, but before Hugo could speak, he heard Kit's rough voice speak, "Hugo, you know you need Mike's help, you know that Mike can attract countless family audiences to the cinema......"

In fact, the conversation between Hugo and Macaulay just now was a matter of more than ten seconds, and at this time Kitt finally came back to his senses and hurriedly said urgently, "If you and Mike join forces to star in this movie, you can definitely conquer the big screen, and maybe the box office can break the historical record!" You know that, I know this, so why don't we work together? ”

Kit's words really made people laugh and cry, he was obviously still thinking about looking at Macaulay as the leading actor, but this time Joseph didn't plan to give Kitt another chance to mess around, and he motioned for the staff to take Kit out. The four staff members immediately swarmed up, firmly controlled Kit, and then dragged him to the door, but after taking two steps, they realized that they had not asked the real person who was talking - Roland's opinion, and then they turned their eyes, and Roland waved his hand again and again, signaling for Kit to disappear, and they moved again.

Kit was unwilling to give up at all, and shouted angrily, "Hugo, you know that you owe Mike, it's all your fault, if it weren't for you, Mike's career wouldn't have ended at all, you have to give us justice, you have to give Mike this role ......"

The staff dragged the vexatious Kit to the door, but Macaulay stood still and refused to leave, he looked back at his father, then at Hugo, and after hesitation, ran in the direction of Kit.

Watching Macaulay disappear at the gate, Hugo was still a little embarrassed. Although this is a farce, a farce that makes people cry and laugh, the sadness hidden behind the farce makes people laugh.

Joseph had already begun to appease the others on the scene, and Roland reacted and hurriedly organized a restart of the audition, even Cameron turned around and walked towards his seat, but Hugo stood still. Although Hugo returned to himself without doing anything wrong, he made the right choice; Although Hugo knew he was right, he really didn't owe Macaulay...... But Hugo still inevitably has some regrets in his heart, and he can't say it.

With a long sigh, Hugo turned and walked towards his seat. Sergio took the stage to apologize to everyone on behalf of the crew, winning applause and support. After a simple adjustment, the audition started again, but Hugo did not have the leisure and leisure just now, and it was inevitable that he would be a little unhappy.

Cameron noticed that Hugo's air pressure was dropping, and she was a little quieter. After a long time, when Cameron remembered again and tried to explain, she found that the time had passed, and she thought about it carefully, maybe deep down in her heart, that topic was not a joke...... After that, she didn't take the initiative to mention it again.

At first, Hugo only planned to stay here for about half an hour; Later, because he noticed that many of the children were familiar faces, his interest rose, and Hugo felt that it would be okay to stay a little longer; But now he was in no mood for this, and in the end he stayed for about forty-five minutes, and Hugo and Cameron left first.

Before leaving the Los Angeles Grand Theater, Hugo also gave a brief interview to reporters, and the main topic still revolved around the 20 million salary. For such a situation, Hugo has long been prepared, and modestly said, "Although it is the film company that pays me for the film, it is the movie audience who gives me this honor, thank you for your willingness to go into the cinema to watch my work." So, I can't relax in the future, I still need to produce excellent works to repay the audience's support, otherwise they give me this salary, and they can cancel it at any time, right? Hopefully I won't disappoint the audience. ”

Hugo's formal but humorous answer made the reporters let him leave the scene with satisfaction.
