Chapter 1398 - Passing Artist

No one expected that it would be Christopher Kit Culkin, the famous hell watchdog in Hollywood, who regarded his son as a so-called father of a cash cow, and did not hesitate to squeeze out his son's surplus value by any means, even if others despised him. Although he is just an agent and Macaulay is a real actor, his exposure is not inferior to that of his son, so Hugo quickly recognized the other party.

In this way, the confusion at hand is explained.

The queue outside was filled with kids and would-be parents, who must have known the value of Macaulay Culkin – after all, he's been the world's hottest child star for the past five years.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the past five years, the child roles of major Hollywood film companies will basically list Macaulay as the first choice, and only the roles that have been screened by Macaulay and decided to give up by Macaulay will consider choosing other actors; Many of these studios even tailor-made scripts for Macaulay at Kitt's request, with him as the main character.

Such Macaulay can be called the first actor in the genre and dominates the entire child actor market. Anywhere in the United States, Macaulay would be immediately in the spotlight – even more widely known than Hugo, and that's the real national craze. So, it's no surprise that there was a commotion outside.

As for the security guard who guards the door, he is obviously innocent as well, because the "Home Alone" series is a work owned by Twentieth Century Fox and is one of their most successful series; Not to mention that Macaulay himself is a child actor, and it makes sense for him to audition for "The End of the World", so in the face of the domineering Kit, they couldn't make up their minds for a while, and they were broken into by Kit in a hesitation.

That's when chaos arose.

Hugo couldn't help but look stunned when he saw Kit, who was still scolding in his mouth, not because of Kit's embarrassment, but because he didn't think about Macaulay playing his son at all - if Hugo remembered correctly, Macaulay was fifteen years old this year, but Hugo was only twenty-eight, like that...... Isn't that appropriate?

Therefore, when he found out that the person in front of him was actually Kit, and then thought of Kit's complaints and scoldings just now, Hugo's surprise was not concealed at all.

"Hey, hey, calm down, calm down!" It was Joseph who stepped up to deal with the situation, and now he is familiar with dealing with these contingencies, and he has become much more cautious since the events in Houston.

Seeing that Kit in front of him was still talking nonsense, Joseph pursed his lips, and then walked directly forward and turned Kit's wrist over, pushing it back hard, and Kitt screamed like a pig. However, due to Joseph's concealed movements and the obscuration of the staff around him, no one knew what Joseph had done at all.

Joseph took his hand back without a trace, "Are you awake now?" Joseph's voice made Kit look dazed, "What exactly do you want?" Do you want to teach Hugo a lesson, or do you want to audition? ”

"Hey!" Hugo looked at Joseph with a black line on his forehead.

Joseph glanced back at Hugo and shrugged his shoulders innocently, but it was Roland who followed him who laughed directly. But now is obviously not the time to laugh, Roland also noticed that the other children around him focused their eyes, and quickly restrained their smiles and put on a serious appearance.

"Sue me, do you want to fight, or do you want to audition?" Joseph didn't pay any attention to Kit's previous complaints, and neatly pointed out the core of the problem.

Kitt was dazed for a moment, then he came to his senses, and hurriedly searched around, as if looking for something, "Audition, audition, of course audition!" His mouth whispered, "Mike, Mike!" Come here, come here! ”

Mike, Macaulay's nickname.

At this time, Hugo realized that his eyes had just fallen on Kit, but he did not see Macaulay. With Kit's shout, a thin figure timidly emerged from the crowd next to him, he looked very hesitant, his thin shoulders were trembling slightly, his eyes moved in fear in the crowd, his long blond hair looked a little messy, and the thick dark circles under his eyes made his face look extremely pale.

So Macaulay, where there is an image of an all-American darling, looks like an addiction. Gentleman.

Even Hugo, who has experienced the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, understands the ups and downs of Vanity Fair very well, not only has he seen it, but he has also experienced it, and he is experiencing it, but seeing Macaulay in front of him still makes Hugo sigh.

Why did Twentieth Century Fox give up on Macaulay? Why didn't the characters in "The End of the World" consider Macaulay? Is it just because Macaulay is not the right age? Apparently not.

Known as the watchdog of hell, Kit is insatiable, domineering, money-hungry, and extravagant, not only with a bunch of bad habits himself, but also with a bunch of bad habits that Macaulay has also been tainted with. As parents, the Culkins were undoubtedly incompetent. They "succeeded" in disgusting themselves with the whole of Hollywood, and all studios were reluctant to deal with them.

In addition, child actors are inherently very limited, and Macaulay has been repeating the "home alone" model, and the audience soon stopped buying it, and the box office of the movie has repeatedly declined, which has also become one of the important factors for the film company to abandon Macaulay.

Since the release of "Master Willis" in late 1994, Macaulay has not received any scripts for 24 months - as early as the beginning of that year, when "Little Devil Moves" was in the early stages of the promotion, the major studios had not seen the box office of the two films, and they had already refused to compromise with Kitt.

It can be said that the box office is one reason, but Kit's greed and domineering are the main reason.

Macaulay, who was once the invincible successor of Shirley Temple, fell like this, and the momentum that swept the world at his peak was comparable to that of Shirlan, but the subsequent development was very different. Xiulan was always a legendary symbol of Hollywood until her death, leaving a strong mark in the annals of history; But Macaulay was like a shooting star, leaving only two "Home Alone" films, and he was quickly drowned in alcohol and drugs. Among the products.

So, when Twentieth Century Fox conceived "The End of the World," he didn't think about Macaulay at all from beginning to end.

But why did Kit appear at the public audition for "The End of the World"? It's not the other work, but it's "The End of the World", because this work is now in the national spotlight, and Kitt thinks it can be a springboard for Macaulay's comeback? Or is there another particular reason?

Looking at Macaulay in front of him, even Hugo, who has experienced countless times, can't help but sigh.

Kitt didn't notice Hugo at all, but said excitedly to Joseph, "Our Mike is absolutely up to the task, trust me!" Kit looked back, and saw the cowardly Macaulay, and then broke free of the staff's hands - they got Joseph's signal to let go, Kit was like an eagle catching a chicken, and directly lifted Macaulay's collar, but because he drank too much wine, his hands had no strength, so he could only drag Macaulay over, "Come, Mike, show them what you are capable of, laugh!" Have a good laugh! ”

Kitt's blood-red eyes shone with a terrifying glint of excitement, as if a wolf had been hungry for a long time and had seen food, and Macaulay was the piece of fresh meat.

Macaulay was so frightened by Kit that he shrank into a ball, just shaking his head and not wanting to say anything. Kitt raised his hand to hit Macaulay, and that action startled everyone around him - in the United States, the protection of children is very thorough, as can be seen in the Michael Jackson incident in the first place. No matter what kind of person Macaulay is, he is always a child, and the staff standing on the side even grabbed Macaulay back without even waiting for Kitt to move, trying to protect him.

Kit also realized his recklessness and quickly put his hand down, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my fault." Kitt crouched down and put his hands on Macaulay's arms, "Mike, look, there are so many people here, but no one is as good as you, no one is as good as you, as long as you can get this role, you can be in the spotlight again, you can be successful again!" Remember? How do you feel when you stand on the red carpet and what it's like to be interviewed by reporters? ”

Kitna is full of temptation. The confused words made Macaulay's nervous expression gradually relaxed, and it could be seen that Kit's words moved Macaulay.

Macaulay hesitated, looked up, and suddenly rushed towards Hugo.

At this time, Macaulay was already fifteen years old, already a junior high school student, and his height was almost to Hugo's chest, and he looked like a completely big child, and rushing over like this made Hugo frightened, but Hugo was worried that his reckless actions would hurt Macaulay - there was no way, Macaulay seemed to have only a handful of bones left, and it would fall apart if he pushed and shoved it. Therefore, Hugo raised his hand slightly, and then put it down, did not dare to dodge, and stood obediently in place.

Macaulay slammed into Hugo, which made Hugo take a half step back, and then Macaulay looked up at Hugo, "Are you the one who caused me to lose my job?" Can you give me the job back? May I? ”

What and what? Hugo didn't understand at all, confused.

"I can perform, I can sing, I can dance, please give me back your work, okay?" Macaulay said anxiously, his voice a little sharp and hoarse. After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Hugo to respond, he took a step back, and began to sing and dance directly on the spot.
