72_72291 Alex can feel Hugo's depression now, even if he is joking, there is still a depression around the whole person. This Cold War came at a bad time.

However, this is not entirely accurate, because the trigger of the Cold War was the tour itself. Now, the tour is about to begin, and Hugo still went against Cameron's idea and stepped onto the tour stage, so at this moment, it is obviously not so simple to really solve the conflict between the two people. The tour will last at least two months before the first phase is over, and no one can predict when the Cold War will end.

Thinking of this, Alex didn't continue to dwell on this matter, and changed the topic according to Hugo's words, "I just came here to celebrate the start of your tour, and then I have to devote myself to the filming of the movie, there is no way to witness history, but at least the tour of the Rose Bowl is unveiled, and I must participate!" ”

Feeling the excitement and excitement in Alex's words, Hugo's heavy mood couldn't help but lighten a little.

"You'd better worry about yourself first, aren't you in a heavy mood when you appear in such a big production for the first time?" Hugo finally took a step, left the pool, and walked indoors, the cold air gradually dissipated, and the warm air in the room began to stretch the muscles of his body.

Alex also walked in and sat down on the couch casually, "There are so many things to worry about right now, Foster, Zemeckis, and big investment...... Phew, I don't know what to worry about anymore, and that's one of the reasons I'm here today. As he spoke, Alex's smile was mixed with a hint of helplessness, "I originally thought that such an opportunity was a dream, but after I really held it in my hand, I realized that things were never so simple, how did you do it in the first place?" Dealing with these stresses? ”

Alex can definitely be said to be hot in North America now, the TV series "Happy Family" is like a comedy leader, and although Hugo occupies all the attention in "Independence Day", Alex, as one of the double starring actors, is also fame and fortune, and his film contracts are endless.

As early as a month ago, Alex's new work was confirmed, and although he had to juggle the filming of "Happy Family", there were still many film projects willing to work with Alex. In the end, after careful selection and fierce competition, Warner Bros. came to an agreement with Alex for "TACT".

Not to mention whether Warner Bros. chose to cooperate with Alex at this time - after "Batman and Robin" was officially rejected by Hugo - whether there were more long-term considerations, but the selection of Alex as the leading actor by "Chrono Contact" was obviously deliberate, and it was naturally indispensable to the behind-the-scenes promotion of Endeavor Elite Agency.

"Chrono Contact" is Robert Zemeckis's first directorial work in three years since "Forrest Gump", which is obviously Robert's ambition, with a film investment of up to $90 million, and invited Jodie Foster to play the heroine, which shows their expectations for this work. In the end, this film became Alex's first work to provoke the leading actor, following the two works of "Brave Death Island" and "Independence Day" successively starred in the golden supporting role, Alex's career ushered in an important progress.

But relatively speaking, Alex's pressure is naturally huge, whether it is a high investment or two Oscar-level casts, it is an invisible pressure. Unlike "Brave Death Island" and "Independence Day", even if the box office fails, there are tall people on top of it, and at least half of the main pressure on the box office this time is on Alex's shoulders; Not to mention the cooperation with Robert and Judy, it is enough to make Alex's blood cold.

This reminded Hugo of the situation when he first starred in "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", and he also took on the main weight of the movie, playing against old actors like Jack Nicholson, and also working with popular actors like Demi Moore, and the pressure Hugo was under can be said to be unimaginable.

"You have to know that in Hollywood, a lot of people don't get the opportunity even if they want to be under pressure, and only by carrying that pressure can you get the accolades that match it. The greater the pressure, the more the glory shines. Hugo simply said that recently he has become more and more aware of this, in fact, he still has not fully opened his heart, crowdphobia can only be overcome little by little with the progress of the tour, and now Cameron is unwilling to stand behind him to support him, which makes things more difficult, but Hugo firmly believes in this truth: if you want to do nothing, then you must suffer the mediocrity and boredom brought by doing nothing; If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to endure the stress and hardships that come with being radiant.

"Actually, you don't need to think so much, before starring in any work, instead of being nervous, you should be excited and looking forward to it, because this is a new experience. Whether it's Robert or Judy, they're actually no different from me, and they're no different from you......"

Before Hugo's words were finished, Alex interjected, "When you think about it, it's true!" This made Hugo stunned, and asked rhetorically, "What?" Alex laughed and said, "yes, you, they're no different from you." ”

"You were my favorite actor, and you became my friend, and now you are not only an Oscar winner, but you have also set countless records...... I've already worked with you, so they don't have to worry too much. Alex said solemnly, "Well, that's it! So, so be it, I don't want to. I need to really get involved in your band's performance and release all the pressure, so don't let me down tomorrow's performance, all my pressure is pinned on you. ”

Alex's mind jumped a little fast, and Hugo's somewhat chaotic brain had obviously not been able to keep up with the speed recently, but at least Alex's last sentence, Hugo still reacted, didn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud, "Although I know that there are many people looking forward to our tour, but ...... Thank you for your support, I will work hard tomorrow. ”

"My pleasure." Alex also made a "and honored" expression, which provoked the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth to completely outline, but Alex let out a long breath in his heart, Hugo now looks much more normal, and the whole atmosphere is much more comfortable.

At this time, Joseph walked back after sending off the guests, but Alex suddenly remembered, "Hugo, are the two people who came just now the Coen brothers?" ”

"Yes, it's Joel and Ethan, what, you dealt with them?" Hugo nodded and gave an affirmative answer, and then saw Alex's face with his mouth wide open, but after thinking about it, he took it for granted, and the smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed.

If you look at the history of the development of American independent films, people will mention the status of Sundance, and people will mention the groundbreaking role of "vulgarity...... At the same time, one will certainly mention the pivotal role of the Coen brothers, who can even exist as standard-bearers for American independent filmmaking. Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen, the two brothers laid an important foundation for the career of American independent cinema.

Unlike Quentin Tarantino, who is a film ruffian, the Coen brothers have always stuck to the field of independent cinema, using their whimsy to create one amazing work after another. Long before "vulgarity", the Coen brothers were already leading figures in independent cinema.

From 1984's "Blood Labyrinth" (blood. "Barton Fink", "Empire of Money", and "Fargo" have created one independent film myth after another, which has attracted wide attention and discussion from film critics, and is definitely one of the leaders of the strong rise of independent films.

After entering the 21st century, the Coen brothers still maintain high production and high quality, "old and nowhere to go", "burn after reading." after。 reading)", "Yan Sù's man (A. serious。 man)", "earth thunder (true. grit)", "Drunken Country Ballad (inside. llewyn。 davis)" and other works, which can be said to be wonderful.

For many independent film lovers, the Coen brothers' place in history even surpasses that of Quentin.

Hugo was even happier when he saw Alex's lively expression, and Joseph said next to him, "Hugo has dealt with them at the Berlin Film Festival before, so they can be regarded as friends." "At that Berlin Film Festival, Hugo met the Coen brothers, Tim Robbins, and Paul Newman, and it was very rewarding.

Joseph saw Alex's excited expression and patted him on the shoulder, "So you should take advantage of this opportunity to perform, maybe in the future, you can get to know them yourself." Hugo came step by step, you know better than anyone else. ”

Obviously, Alex's concerns, Joseph is also clear. Recently, Hugo and Cameron have been in a cold war, and if it weren't for the last resort, Alex and his group of friends would not tell Hugo about other troubles.

Alex immediately jumped up excitedly, clenched his fists and cheered, "Wow, when I think about it, I'm looking forward to 'Chrono Contact', and I can't wait to join the crew." ”

Not to mention that "Chrono Contact" itself is an ultra-luxury cast, imagining being able to meet more of his favorite directors, screenwriters and actors in Hollywood after achieving success makes Alex unable to suppress the turmoil in his heart. Alex was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, seeing Hugo dizzy for a while, and then seeing Alex stop, "But, aren't you going to start touring, and won't take on works for the time being?" Why did the Coen brothers still come to you? ”。
