Chapter 1290： Kind invitation

Standing in front of Hugo is Jennifer Aniston. This actress who relied on "Friends" to become famous all over the world is no longer an unknown little actor. After the broadcast in September last year, "Friends" quickly became a nationwide. One of the most popular comedies, along with "The Story of Seinfeld" and "Happy Family", has supported a sky of American sitcoms.

Hugo vaguely remembered that he had seen Jennifer before, but he didn't have any impression of the specific situation. Fortunately, Hugo knew this face, otherwise the situation just now would be embarrassing.

Cameron saw Jennifer’s stunned expression, he chuckled, watching Hugo teasing, "It seems that your bad memory of strangers’ names is already well-known, and you suddenly remembered Jennifer’s name. She was completely frightened."

Jennifer reacted. He looked at the hands of the chicken wings that had been pickled just now, and made sure that he had washed his hands. Then he quickly held Hugo's right hand and smiled awkwardly, "Yes... we only met... …You know, it’s just saying hello. I really didn’t expect that you would remember. Sorry, I was a little rude."

"Maybe because you are a beauty." Cameron's joke made Jennifer chuckle and Hugo gave Cameron a helpless look. Obviously, Cameron was really excited today. Feel it from every aspect.

"So, how do you know each other?" Hugo changed the subject and looked at the two people rather unexpectedly. Jennifer is still rolling in the TV circle. The success of the first season of "Friends" made her appear in the media lens in a real sense; Cameron moved from the model circle to the movie circle, and she has no connection with TV. .

Cameron and Jennifer looked at each other, "Oh!" They seemed to be in a tacit understanding, as if they were saying, "I am talking about you." Finally, Cameron, who was in a state of excitement today, said, "Remember me. After returning from Baton Rouge, did Rick arrange an audition? It was during that audition that Jennifer and I met. Coincidentally, we were both selected for the final cast. If nothing else, we will Work together in this work."

Hugo suddenly realized that it was Jennifer who started to enter the big screen.

For actors, the big screen is the ultimate goal. Whether it is a stage play or a TV show, including comedians from variety shows, they all hope that one day they can stand on the red carpet of the movie premiere. Even if TV is successful, its influence, attention, and development prospects cannot be compared with movies.

Jennifer is naturally no exception. In the post-"Friends" era, although Jennifer's acting role has always been limited to the comedy genre, compared with "Friends" Rachel has not had a huge breakthrough, but she still broke out of her own world. , Is also the most successful follow-up development career among the six leading actors in "Friends". But in fact, since the initial success of "Friends", Jennifer, who has an eye-catching appearance, a pleasing role, and a solid network, has already begun to get involved in the movie circle.

The work Cameron mentioned is called "Love is the only". Hugo had an impression of this work a long time ago. After he rejected the "Far from Casino" project, Twentieth Century Fox put this The project was put on the table. Cameron Diaz, Alexander Lorraine, Sandra Bullock, Charlize Theron, Leonardo DiCaprio appeared among the alternate actors. Wait for multiple names.

"Love is the only" can be said to be a part of Fox's huge plan in the twentieth century. The several projects they are planning at the same time are closely related to Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, and also closely related to Hugo. At that time, Hugo and Rick believed that Fox should have a bigger plan in the twentieth century, but they were the ones who took the initiative, so they waited until Fox made the move.

It now seems that "Love is the only" has chosen Cameron to play, but I don't know when the real killer move will appear in the game of Twentieth Century Fox.

As for Jennifer's selection, it must be the 20th Century Fox's own consideration, and it has nothing to do with Hugo.

"Love is the only" this work is actually quite an independent work that has attracted much attention. He is a work written, directed and acted by the handsome actor Edward Burns (edward. Burns). Edward is also a well-known all-rounder. This year The "McMullen Brothers", who participated in the Sundance Film Festival with "Before Sunrise" and won the jury award, was his debut work.

"Love is the only" is Edward's second work after the "McMullen Brothers". It was only in the script stage that it was favored by Twentieth Century Fox. Twentieth Century Fox was in charge of the "McMullen Brothers" before then. Therefore, we have a good cooperation with Edward. This time we went a step further and directly obtained the investment and production rights for the work, and persuaded Robert Redford to serve as the executive producer.

Abandoning "far from the gambling city" and choosing "love is the only" can actually be seen as a coordination within 20th Century Fox.

"Wow, that must be congratulated. I saw Edward's'Brother McMullen' in Sundance before. He is a very thoughtful director. This collaboration is bound to be very interesting." Hugo watched Cameron lightly nodded his chin to express his affirmation, then looked at Jennifer again, showing a smile of encouragement.

In fact, Hugo has never seen "Love is the only", nor can he remember this work, but Cameron and Jennifer are willing to choose such a small investment independent work to polish themselves, this choice itself is worthy of recognition.

Jennifer was obviously in a high mood today. She didn't expect the fate at the bar at the beginning. Hugo actually remembered and even said her name accurately, which made her want to scream with joy.

Although she has now relied on "Friends" to break out of the sky, although she is only two years younger than Hugo, but I have to say that, like Hugo, a top superstar with strength and temperament, his charm is really impressive. It was hard to resist, just a smile made her heart beat a little irregular.

"Of course, I hope so... I mean, we all hope to learn something during the shooting." Jennifer's finger pointed back and forth between Cameron and herself. "However, this time is also a romantic comedy. , I’m not sure if I can learn something different.” At this point, Jennifer stroked her hair with her right hand uncomfortably, and then explained, “You know, I’m acting in a sitcom now, it’s basically OK. It's a comedy of life that includes love."

"Yes, yes." Hugo nodded, with a polite smile on the corners of his mouth. If someone observes carefully, you can find that Hugo's smile does not reach the bottom of his eyes, and the unobvious tiredness is deep in his eyes. The place is looming. It’s just that Hugo hides it better, and it doesn’t show up in the conversation. “Alex is a regular member of the ‘Happy Family’. He has mentioned ‘Friends’ to me several times.”

Hugo's words made Jennifer smile immediately, and Cameron winked at Jennifer, as if saying, "I didn't lie to you", which made Hugo shook his head helplessly and smiled at the corner of his mouth. It’s a bit deeper, "Actually, I always think comedy is very difficult. Comedy requires actors to be very demanding. Not everyone can brand comedy in their own style like Kim Carey, not all. Anyone can say humorous effects of plain lines. This is not an easy task. If I have the opportunity, I would love to try comedy."

"Didn't you star in'Sleepless in Seattle'?" Cameron looked at Hugo quite unexpectedly and said in surprise, "And'before sunrise' can also be regarded as another form of comedy."

Hugo shrugged slightly, "That's a light comedy. In fact, the personal test of the actor is more delicate emotions than humorous ability."

Jennifer looked at Hugo earnestly, and then suddenly said on a whim, "If you want, you can come to our series as a guest." After the words were over, she became more and more excited, because Jennifer found that it was absolutely It was a proposal that made her so excited that she wanted to scream, "If you really come to our show, I think the whole crew will explode. It's so exciting."

Seeing Jennifer’s flamboyant expression, even she herself didn’t notice that she had jumped twice on the spot, which made Hugo smile, "This sounds like a good idea, I hope Alex won’t wave at me. fist."

Jennifer realized that Friends" one of the biggest competitors, "Happy Family", is surprisingly the work starring Hugo's best friend Alex. Even if you want a guest appearance, Hugo will give priority "Happy Family", not "Friends", after all, she only met Hugo for the second time today, didn't she?

Thinking of this, Jennifer calmed down a bit, "Sorry, my fault, I didn't think about it." Although that was the case, Jennifer was still a bit disappointed, and imagined Hugo appearing on the set of "Friends" in his mind. , It was enough to make her scream. But now it seems that the feasibility of this matter is too small.

Hugo didn't take it to heart. He felt that Jennifer was just a moment of excitement and casually mentioned it. It was just polite remarks in social situations, and it was really embarrassing if it was true. Hugo smiled and said, "Being able to receive such a warm invitation, I really feel my value as an actor. Next time if someone says I am a vase, I think it will be a powerful counterattack weapon."

Just one sentence made Jennifer and Cameron laugh, and the entire kitchen was suddenly ringing.

"What are you doing? Waiting outside for the chicken wings, but I have already waited until my nose is running down." Leonardo's excited voice came over and swept into the kitchen like a tornado.
