Chapter 261： Actor career
"Hugo, are you sure you want to try again?" Joseph sat on the sofa, watching Hugo calm down.
"Joe, we have discussed this issue just now, haven't we?" Hugo was immersed in his thoughts, then raised his head to look at Joseph, who was still uneasy.
Joseph's expression was slightly embarrassed, "I know. But, today I received a call from Efron’s assistant, just thinking that the opportunity has finally come, but didn’t think carefully about whether this opportunity is appropriate or not. Efron refused you before. Once, and the message came out that it was confirmed that Hanks would be used, which shows that you are not her first choice. I don't know if this is another trap, and I don't know if it is suitable for your current situation..."
Having said that, Joseph couldn't help but ‘knead’ his own temple, just as he said. When the audition opportunity for "Sleepless in Seattle" appeared again, he was almost dazzled by joy. This was the first breakthrough in nearly three weeks since the Golden Globes celebration. Under the current circumstances It becomes more precious, and even more exciting than the audition opportunity for "Scent of the'Female' Person" that appeared in the same period last year.
However, Joseph has forgotten two things. The first is whether this is another trap. Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he had to be cautious, not to mention that the plans of Tracy and others did not last long. That's it; the second is to plan Hugo's career as an actor.
In fact, when the opportunity of "Sleepless in Seattle" first appeared, Joseph and Hugo discussed this issue-what kind of actor Hugo wanted to be, but the two did not have a clear idea at the time.
After that, the "Sugar Coated Trap" and "Desperate End" opportunities were actually commercial production routes, which could have more influence in the box office, but unfortunately they did not take place. Now Joseph has to raise this question again. Perhaps by taking advantage of this silence, he can make a rough plan for Hugo’s career as an actor. What works should be accepted and what should not be accepted. This is a good one. opportunity.
"Joe, in the film industry, the initiative is always in the hands of the producers, right, even if the agency, actors, and directors have greater energy, they can influence the decisions of the producers, but the final decision is It's the producer. In short, the rich is the boss." Hugo actually thought a lot during this period. Maybe it was his enthusiasm for band performance again, or maybe his thinking after his mentality returned to normal. No matter what, Yu Guo already has a vague concept of his entertainment career. Although it is still unclear, at least he is no longer "lost", and is no longer passively following the audition opportunity.
Joseph nodded in recognition of Hugo’s views, “So, whether it’s Tracy or Lang, this kind of thing will never stop. Now they are just producers and managers. If the same thing happens in the future What happened to the senior executives of a large film company, he was willing to target me and even ban me, so what should we do? Let's quit the actor business?"
Listening to Hugo’s words, Joseph’s first reaction was "No", and then he said, "This is a circle of the highest interest, and it is impossible for them to block any actor! Because there are also differences of interest within the film company. People may be enemies or friends, as long as there are enough benefits."
Hugo nodded, but added something in his heart: It's just that some people can never be friends, such as Tracy.
After Joseph finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he immediately understood, "You mean, this kind of thing is impossible to avoid in the whole circle, even if there is no Tracey, there may be other enemies in the future. So, we need It’s not shrinking or worrying about fear, but insisting on finding different partners for cooperation in order to blaze a trail."
"I didn’t mean it, but you’re right. I originally meant to say that there are landmines everywhere, and I can’t help if I’m afraid of it. I only know after I’ve tried it. Because of so many intricate and complicated relationships of interest negotiation, there’s no Any project is completely independent of this circle's network system." Hugo said his thoughts.
In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, the entire Hollywood is a whole. Even if there is internal competition, it is consistent externally. For example, American movies are in the middle. With regard to the issue of national distribution, the entire Hollywood united in politics. The government conducts'negotiations' to seek common interests. In Hollywood, the core of competition is interest. If they are involved, it is estimated that a complete circle can be drawn, and there is no way to be alone.
Therefore, I have been worried that Tracy or Lang may be killed halfway, this is unnecessary. Because this is unavoidable, and the real way to solve the problem is never to avoid or withdraw, but to rely on the interests in hand to compete. Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in this circle.
"The problem is that we don't have enough chips now, so we have always been at a disadvantage." Hugo concluded, "So we don't have the opportunity to be picky. As long as we have the opportunity to come to the door, we must try and see. Otherwise, the result will never be known."
Joseph also reacted, knowing that the opportunity of "Sleepless in Seattle" is very rare, although no one in the circle is optimistic about the prospects of this work, the whole preparation process was staggered, and many actors refused to take over the script; But this is Hugo's best opportunity right now-and even if Hugo tries his best, Nora Ephron will not necessarily nod his head.
"Oh...what about your career as an actor? Don't make a plan? What if you encounter a work like'Hudson's Eagle' again?" Joseph still felt a little unwilling. "And "Yihai Xiongfeng" finally can make a correct plan for Hugo's actor career, but now it seems that it is going to fall apart again.
Hugo laughed, "Planning is naturally what we have to do, but we don't have a clear goal now. It's better to take one step at a time." Hugo couldn't help thinking, if there is one now, he knows it will fail. With the script in hand, will he desperately take over because of the current situation? Probably not. Perhaps this is the advantage of Traversal. Unconsciously, his leading knowledge is already planning his career as an actor.
"If you have a choice, are you willing to star in a commercial film or an art film?" Joseph asked curiously. In fact, Hugo's performance in commercial films was very bad. When Lang managed Hugo before, art films have achieved great results. Good reputation, but all commercial films are smashed; and Joseph accepts Hugo's two films, although the box office has won a big box office, but in a strict sense, the two are more art-oriented works.
Hugo couldn't help but laughed, "Why use business and art to distinguish movies? I think the most important purpose of a movie is to please the audience. Think about it, if a movie is extremely artistic, it will be amazing. , But no audience likes him, does this have any meaning?"
"But...many art can only be understood by a small number of people." Joseph noticed the "hole" in Hugo's words. "Van Gogh's paintings were not accepted by the world until he died. Carry forward; or, in other words, "Citizen Kane" is now considered by countless authorities to be one of the greatest works in film history, but it was not loved at all. The reason why it missed the Oscar statuette is because The Oscars that year introduced the civilian jury, and these ordinary people couldn't understand the movie, so it created one of the greatest regrets in the history of the Oscars. "
"So according to your opinion, such works are not worth accepting?" Joseph asked rhetorically.
Hugo admitted that he was questioned, but he did not think of this. After all, it was because his time in the movie industry was too short, and his understanding of many issues was not deep enough. "I mean, regardless of the movie. Is it business or art, after all, it still has to be recognized by people in order to flourish, right? Van Gogh is like this, so is'Citizen Kane', otherwise it can only be buried in the long river of history like countless other works. So, maybe When we accept the script of a movie, we should at least see if we like it first, and should not be limited to business or art."
Having said that, Hugo paused, "As for the rest, let's'hand over' it to time. Maybe after a certain point, we will understand or maybe, understand what I want to be. Actors."
In fact, this question is like "the goal of your life struggle". It is a big topic. Some people don’t know what they’re striving for in their entire lives, but live for the sake of living; the same is true for many actors, for their livelihood and for the sake of To become famous, for the sake of applause, for the aura, they continue to act like this, they have no time to think about whether they can survive the age or entertain the public, just become actors.
Therefore, it is normal for Hugo, who is only twenty-five years old, to not understand this question, "I hope I can think clearly one day in the future. UU reading " Hugo exclaimed, artistic. The world is full of unknowns and at the same time it is a long march with no end. No one knows whether it can reach the end, and even if it reaches the end, no one knows what the scenery will be.
When Joseph heard Hugo’s old-fashioned tone, he couldn’t help but smile. He also realized that the problem was a bit big, "Then we will take the short-term goal as the criterion to make you a... with enough chips, enough benefits, The actor who has the initiative in his own career!"
"Good idea!" Hugo nodded vigorously, "So, when is the audition for'Night Sleep in Seattle'?"
"Lunch tomorrow." Joseph said simply. Thinking about it this way, "Sleepless in Seattle" is a very important opportunity. At least when Hugo is in trouble, Nora-Efron is still willing to give Hugo. This is the second chance, which is extremely rare. Maybe you can see a different scene after you seize it. Joseph's inner emotions slowly settled down.
"Are you sure you don't need to go to the supermarket?" Joseph said suddenly nonchalantly.
"For?" Hugo widened his eyes and looked suspicious.
"Paper'Urine' and'Pants'."
"Joe, we have discussed this issue just now, haven't we?" Hugo was immersed in his thoughts, then raised his head to look at Joseph, who was still uneasy.
Joseph's expression was slightly embarrassed, "I know. But, today I received a call from Efron’s assistant, just thinking that the opportunity has finally come, but didn’t think carefully about whether this opportunity is appropriate or not.
