Hiss nervously felt that the whole person was going to explode, he wanted to talk to Hugo, he had countless questions to ask Hugo, he also wanted to talk and laugh with Hugo, but he felt that his throat was smoking, and he couldn't say a word, he could only subconsciously pick up the champagne in his hand, take a sip, the bright star slid down his throat, the dry throat was overwhelmed, and he coughed directly.

Heath was desperate to disappear in place, his cheeks flushing completely, but he didn't know if it was because of coughing or shame.

Hugo walked to the coffee table next to him, took two tissues, and handed them to Hiss. Heath took it and tried to thank him, but his trachea coughed again, and he could only cover his mouth with a tissue in embarrassment. It's a nightmare.

"Don't worry, I'm not a black warrior, and I don't feel malicious to you." Hugo said it seriously, but Heath looked at Hugo blankly, not understanding what Hugo's words meant. Hugo's eyes widened and shrugged slightly, "Look, this is the situation after saying the wrong thing in a social situation, embarrassing!" ”

Hugo's ridicule immediately made Heath chuckle. "So, you just said you're an actor?" Hugo's inquiring words were tinged with curiosity, as if they were just small talk between friends.

"Yes, I'm an actor." Hiss himself didn't notice it, the tension just now calmed down unconsciously, and his speech was obviously much smoother, "However, I only starred in a few works in Australia, and I don't have any works in Hollywood for the time being." I...... Still trying to find opportunities. ”

"The most painful and wonderful stage, isn't it?" Hugo smiled and nodded, Heath couldn't help but be stunned, and then understood the meaning of Hugo's words, the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed easily, and he took the initiative to be curious for the first time, "So, you also went through such a stage when you performed in 'Death Row Walk', right?" ”

"'Death row stroll'? No, I wouldn't say that. Hugo shook his head, "Actually, during the performance, more often than not, I didn't feel my own existence, and others thought I was miserable, but in fact I didn't feel much because I wasn't me at that time." On the contrary, before entering the crew of 'Death Row Walk', the process of self-exploration and self-study can be said to be painful and wonderful. ”

Heath seemed unable to understand Hugo's statement, and asked with a question mark on his face, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Hehe, you don't think I'm a crazy person in the first place, do you? Once upon a time, I was also a kind-hearted child. Hugo's interpretation made Heath really laugh, "I am not an actor from a professional background, the process of exploring acting is very long and difficult, compared to the performance itself, the process of self-learning and self-growth is that painful and wonderful stage." ”

At this moment, Heath understood, but did not speak, but pondered Hugo's words carefully, and then looked at Hugo as if he didn't understand, "So, during the filming stage of 'Death Row Walk', you really couldn't feel yourself, and you were completely dominated by the character?" Hugo pursed his lips and spread his hands, not admitting or denying it, "What is that feeling like?" ”

Hugo looked at Hiss in front of him, the current Hiss is just an underage child, his young face is far from the maturity and aura that later amazed the whole Hollywood, he can't see the forbearance and hardship in "Brokeback Mountain", and he can't see the evil spirit in "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", just a child full of hope.

"The feeling of moving forward on a high rope, feeling that I am in danger and going to fall at any time, maybe I choose to give up, and it will be a relief to let myself fall, but deep down I know that I should continue to move forward." The smile on Hugo's lips narrowed slightly, as if he was muttering to himself, and said it meaningfully.

Heath looked at the intricacies between Hugo's eyebrows, but his eyes were full of puzzlement, but his inner eagerness to try was already unbearable, and the urge to perform almost made his heart explode, "Hugo, why are you willing to talk to me about this...... What about the secret to these performances? "He's just a nobody, and Hugo not only talks to him, but so deeply.

"Is there one?" The look between Hugo's eyebrows quickly dissipated, and he smiled again, "It's just an ordinary conversation just now, I'm a host, showing my hospitality, that's all." Judging from your reaction, I, as a master, have done a very good job. ”

Hiss had no way to refute it, and after thinking about it carefully, in fact, Hugo didn't seem to say anything just now, and that kind of plausible hazy feeling made Hiss a little confused.

Looking at the childish Hiss in front of him, Hugo hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I'm not sure about your recent schedule, but if you're interested, there will be a few industry insiders coming over, and they're looking for actors for a movie, and there's a character in it, just a small role, but it also plays a key role in the story, and there are some lines, and there's some room to play." I think you can try it. ”

Hugo was indeed hesitant, Hiss looked too immature at this time, and it could be seen that he was obviously inexperienced from the brief contact just now. But Hugo knew that Heath was actually a very aura actor, that was a talent, innate, and only got better and better over time.

Tonight's party, countless rumors in the circle are smoke bombs released by Rick and Barry - of course, helping Steven Spielberg promote "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" is a side feature. The real purpose of the party was to cast "L.A. Confidential", which was the result of a compromise between Barry and Rick.

Barry accepted Hugo's cast list, but the scope of tonight's party invitations has expanded several times to include major Hollywood contenders such as Innovative Artist Agency, International Innovation Management, William Morris Agency, and even Endeavour Elite Agency's current biggest competitor, United Elite Agency, has received an inside message from Barry.

Without a behind-the-scenes push, a party's influence can't really radiate so far. Now, not only Hollywood, but almost all of Los Angeles is hotly discussing Hugo's return, discussing Hugo's party, and the whole circle is hotly discussing Hugo's new work, and the sensational effect has begun to appear.

"L.A. Confidential" is a huge crew, in which there are more than 60 roles with lines, and Barry is going to make a big fuss in the casting process to further exert the "Hugo effect".

Hugo's invitation to Heath was actually deliberate, and there was a big star character in "L.A. Confidential", which did not have many scenes, but it was a symbol of the entertainment industry in Hollywood in the fifties, and it played an important role in the promotion of the storyline. It's called Matt Reynolds. Reynolds' character Hugo is definitely not a man of his own tokens, and he believes that Heath can do it.

Of course, Hugo had only seen Heath for a short time, and the fixed impression in his mind did not work at this time, and although he had sent an invitation, he still had to discuss it with Curtis and simply audition before he could make a decision.

"What?" Hiss almost thought he had misheard, and his muscles began to tremble, and the irrepressible joy came over him, drowning him in an instant. "You're saying there's a role for me to audition?"

Hugo saw Heath's unconcealable expression, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Yes, you didn't understand it wrong. You'll go to Curtis in a moment...... Uh," Hugo then realized that Hiss didn't necessarily know Curtis Hansen, "you go to Samora and tell him about the audition I just mentioned, and he'll take you to meet the auditioner." ”

A call came from behind "Hugo......", Hugo looked back, "I'm sorry, I need to act as a master now, you can relax, I hope you have a good time tonight." Then he patted Hiss on the arm, "It's nice to meet you, then, forgive me for my rudeness now." ”

With that, Hugo turned and walked briskly.

Hiss stood there completely stiff and became a stone statue, and everything tonight was so unreal, as if it were ...... It's like a Hollywood movie, just a few hours ago, he was an insignificant nobody in the City of Angels, no one knew his name at all, no one cared what he thought, he even took the bus to Malibu. But now, he first got an invitation to Hugo's party, then became the center of attention of reporters, then talked to Hugo about acting in person, and finally got an audition...... This is indeed Hollywood, and everything is so dreamy that it doesn't really want to wake up at all.

Heath picked up the glass in his hand and poured all the champagne into his stomach in one gulp, and the bright star bloomed in his heart.

Saying goodbye to Hiss, Hugo turned around and walked in the direction of the sound, and then saw Cameron busy in the preparation room.

Cameron wore a red bandage evening dress tonight, the short skirt design fully showed off her slender legs, paired with a pair of black wristband stiletto heels, and the fragile and graceful ankles were like a work of art carved by a carver little by little. The long curly hair is lazy and sexy on the shoulders, and it is impossible to take your eyes off it.

"No, I said, remove the racks on the tennis court and put two potted plants on them, no one will want to exercise tonight, but it's a good idea to take a walk on the lawn." Cameron explained to the staff in front of her, and then she noticed that everyone was looking towards the door, and she turned around to see Hugo, "Oh, you wait." Then he looked at the staff again, "Also, I just looked, the table next to the cliff, the tablecloth is not fixed, you must hurry up and fix it, otherwise a sea breeze blows, it will be a disaster." ”

"Alright, you guys go get busy." Cameron waved her hand, but when everyone dispersed, she thought again, "Wait......" but rubbed her temples and thought about it carefully, "It's okay, everyone can go and get busy!" ”
