Superstar

Chapter 1143: Sense of competition

Although Kevin Spacey is still not well-known, his career in Hollywood started in 1995. He starred in "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Very Suspect", especially the latter earned him the Oscar for Best Male The supporting actor, the little golden man, soared into the sky; but at this time Kevin is already a golden supporting actor in Hollywood, and everyone in the circle knows his reputation.

Kevin’s debut is the famous "heartburn", written by Nora Efron, Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson partner Mike Nichols , Kevin played a small role without a name in it. But it was this kind of experience that attracted the attention of Jack, Mike and others. Two years later, he played a supporting role in "Working Girl (..

Kevin also found a place among the star-studded "golden worshipers" in 1992. This is how he and Al met.

"Do you want to work with this kid? He is a little madman." Al turned his head to look at Kevin, pointed at Hugo and said with wide-eyed eyes. Hugo was stunned by this unfounded sentence. He didn't remember what he did in the filming of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman"!

Kevin looked at Hugo’s innocent expression and couldn’t help but laughed, and then listened to Al’s continuing to say, “Last time I was at a party, I heard Francis say that he was too involved in the filming and just wielded a pistol. Hiding in the dark like a hunter hunting, aiming at the passing staff, and finally aimed at Steven. Steven was so scared that he could not speak. The whole crew was surprised that no one dared to stop him, but it was him. 'S agent bit the bullet and stepped forward."

Hugo's expression became stiff when he stood beside him, his eyes full of embarrassment. Obviously, what Al said was the truth, but Hugo did not expect it to become a funny talk among these big guys. Francis naturally refers to Francis Ford Coppola, and Steven Spielberg. It is estimated that George Lucas is also on the scene. If Martin Scorsese is added, the scene will be lively. .

Kevin laughed loudly, "This shows that he is very dedicated, and it is always easy to sparkle when working with such an actor, right?" After that, Kevin winked at Hugo, as if saying "I can't see that you are so wild," Hugo became shy.

Al patted Hugo **** the shoulder, and Hugo grinned in pain, "If you can control him..." Al said with a smile on his face, making Hugo very helpless.

"Are you also interested in this work?" Kevin skipped Al and started talking directly with Hugo. "Maybe we can cooperate here, then there is no need to wait for the'killing moment'."

Hugo was amused by these words, "Then what if we like the same character?"

Kevin spread his hands, closed his chin, with a natural expression, "Let's see who of us can have the last laugh. Objectively speaking, this is another form of cooperation, and we cooperate in a competitive way."

Kevin's calmness made Hugo smile and nodded, "Seeing you are so confident, I suddenly found that I should work harder."

Looking at Kevin in front of him, and remembering Tom Cruise just now in his mind, Hugo's mind suddenly flashed, and he understood a truth. Now he is an actor, and he is still a strong actor. In the future, things like competing with Tom for "Mission Impossible" and competing with Kevin for "Seven Deadly Sins" will emerge in endlessly. He can't do it every time. The other party is a friend of one's own, or because the other party is the object of their admiration, withdraw and give in.

First of all, he doesn't necessarily have the qualifications to retreat. His acting prowess has not reached the level of unparalleled in the world. For example, the role of "Seven Deadly Sins" Anonymous, maybe he tried his best, but Kevin won in the end? Secondly, he should not back down. This is disrespect for his competitors, but also disrespect for himself. Since he has decided to become an excellent actor, he must show confidence and strive for his favorite role. .

Of course, if it is due to schedule conflicts or other objective reasons, and ultimately fail to win the role, this is another matter. In addition, Hugo clearly knew that he should stand up bravely and fight for it. He is no longer a bystander, but a participant. This is true of "Mission Impossible", and so is the "Seven Deadly Sins".

"The young people nowadays are really energetic." Al looked at Hugo and Kevin, and exclaimed in an attitude of leaning against the old and selling the old. "This reminds me of the first time I saw Marlon Brando. I was trembling with excitement. , My voice was trembling when I talked to Ma Long, but Ma Long raised his eyes and glanced at me. He clicked his chin and ignored me. I didn’t feel anything at the time, I just felt that he was already in the play. Posture."

When Al entered the "Godfather" crew, he was still an unknown person, and because of his height disadvantage, the producers were in every way dissatisfied with Al. If it weren’t for Francis Ford Coppola’s persistence, perhaps Al would have the best of his career. A well-known character is missing. At that time, Malone was a well-deserved Hollywood superstar. So, the scene where Al saw Malone was very interesting.

"Then I secretly made up my mind, I also have to study my acting skills, I must not be overwhelmed by Ma Long's name. Only God knows that I was shaking all over at the time." Al's eyes were faintly reminiscent, looking at Hugo and Hugo and The appearance of two people eager to try Kevin, he couldn't help thinking of his youth. Now, 55-year-old Al has lost his youthful vigor, especially after getting the Oscar statuette, his mind about continuing to make breakthroughs in acting has also faded.

Hugo asked sincerely, "So, when we first met, was your serious look imitating Malone? Or did you want to give me a slap?"

Al was speechless for a while, and he didn’t know how to answer, but Kevin said, “When Al first met you, was he very strict? He treated me the same way. I thought I had done something wrong and kept asking the broker. People go to inquire, and worry terribly."

"Yes...that were really bad years..." Hugo and Kevin sighed each and every one of you, making Al standing next to him not crying or laughing, but the two of them still looked serious and made Al cough irritably. Two times, "Hey! Young people, I'm still here!"

Just one sentence made Hugo and Kevin laugh.

Hugo stood here and chatted with Al and Kevin for a long time. They didn’t disperse until David Cronenberg came over. It took only a few minutes for Hugo and Cronenberg to stand here, Tom Cruise. , Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow, Morgan Freeman, Gianni Nunari also all gathered, and it suddenly became the most lively corner.

Later, Charlize also came over under Carl's leadership, but Carl did not stay, but handed Charlize to Hugo and integrated into the circle under Hugo's guidance. It’s just that, obviously Gwyneth is the focus of attention today. Compared to Charlize, who has no background, Gwyneth’s father is a film producer, his mother is an actor, and Steven Si Pilberg is even her godfather, so Gwyneth seems to be comfortable in such occasions.

Thanks to Gwyneth's threading, Brad looks like a fish in water, and Gianni also favors Brad.

Although the group of them gathered and dispersed, and then gathered together in twos and threes again to talk, it was like a gathering of friends, and everyone sat casually and chatted together. On the surface, it seems to have nothing to do with the audition of the movie, but in fact it is inextricably linked to the audition. Almost every conversation is part of the audition.

It was not until the time he left that Hugo met Joseph, Rick, and Samora who hadn't talked to each other all night, together with Carl and Charlize, and set off on the way home. When I got home, it was past midnight.

Joseph is confessing his gains tonight, "...The host of today’s dinner, Dan Colesrud, is a senior player in the circle. He took over the divorce cases of many senior and top celebrities. He and the three major agencies There is cooperation..." Since there are all bachelors in this room--except for Rick, they are naturally not familiar with this one. Neither Rick nor his actors have ever experienced a divorce, and he doesn't know much about it either. However, when Joseph mentioned this, Rick confirmed it, "I have heard of his reputation."

It’s no wonder that New Line Film Company chose Korsrud’s home to host a dinner. Such a person is a neutral zone. The connections behind him are inextricably linked. Almost everyone can be connected with each other’s strength. At the same time, it is a bridge between various forces. The best way.

"From Dan's tone, I can feel that the new line has a certain direction now. They still like Hugo for the role of Mills, but after I carefully observed the form, Brad estimated that it would be Hugo's biggest competition. Opponents. His hard power is not as good as ours~www.readwn.com~ but soft power is better than us. Brad’s new date, Gwyneth, is Spielberg’s goddaughter, and is present today for more than three She knows two-thirds of the people." Joseph spoke his own judgment proficiently. Compared with the average manager, Joseph's business proficiency is significantly higher, so the help he can provide to the entire team is natural. A lot has been added.

Rick nodded, "I spent most of my time on Andrew tonight," that is, the screenwriter. "Joe's speculation is not wrong. The new line executives are also divided into two groups, one advocates Hugo, and the other agrees with Brahman. De, they have a huge production crowd, with at least twelve people. The new line’s positioning of this work is very vague. Those producers are shirking each other’s responsibilities. Almost one person is only responsible for a small part of it. At present, the whole situation seems to be It's a mess. Gianni who is here today is considered to be a centrist."

Having said this, Rick glanced at Hugo with some worry. The behind-the-scenes production of the "Seven Deadly Sins" is much more complicated than imagined. It does not seem to be a wise choice, but he continued, "Also, if not In an accident, Freeman should have played the role of the old detective. In terms of the director, it is estimated that David Fincher is the final choice. I really don’t know what the new line thinks.” Rick frowned slightly, obviously. It’s because of lack of confidence in Vinci, "Hugo, are you aware of this? You talked to Geffen for a long time today."

"I want to play the role of Anonymous." Hugo answered the question.
