James Cameron's voice looked a little tired, Hugo couldn't help but was stunned, rubbed his temples to make himself sober, and at the same time walked out of the RV and went outside to avoid disturbing the group of people who were already asleep. Teammates, "Hey, James, I didn't expect this call to come."
Hugo’s voice was a little brisk, but James didn’t buy it. His rough voice cut off Hugo’s ending sound and quickly said, “I heard you rejected the Titanic. It’s true. ?"
"This..." Hugo's head was full of question marks, because James' voice not only sounded unhappy, but also some anger, which made Hugo puzzled. He chuckled lightly. "James , I have this is the result you want."
Since James had no polite plans and Hugo had no secretive plans, he directly refuted the past with a mocking tone. As a result, James sneered. The sniffing sound showed that he didn't care, "So, you are Think my script is not good enough?"
Hugo frowned slightly. "The script?" Hugo still didn't figure out what James meant, but he still expressed his opinion, "No, on the contrary, I think this is a very good script, although in the main emotional line. The outline of the movie is slightly weak, but for the magnificent framework of the movie, this is enough. It will be trivial and procrastinating if everything is covered. So, overall I think this is a wonderful story."
Hugo's praise of the script still did not calm James' mood, "Then why did you refuse?"
A thought suddenly flashed in Hugo's mind: Is James angry because of his "refusal"? To be precise, it is because James allowed him to reject Hugo, but he did not allow Hugo to reject him. This is James' self-confidence and his pride. Especially when Hugo repeatedly emphasized the need to make a decision after reading the script. Now Hugo has given the script a high degree of affirmation, but still chose to reject it. This is undoubtedly a contempt for James.
If this is the case, Hugo laughed dumbfounded instead. Although I have experienced James' self-centeredness a long time ago, today is the real face-to-face feeling.
"Because I am not the best choice in your mind." Hugo said it directly, but James became irritated by the truth, "How can you be sure of what I think? You are not me!"
In the face of James' anger, Hugo didn't care at all, "James, if you want me to play, Rick can still change his mind now. I believe that Kevin and Shirley will be happy to hear this news."
Hugo's words immediately caused James to choke. This humiliation made James so angry that his hands were shaking slightly. Since the "Terminator" achieved brilliant success, James has not been so challenged for a long time. Even if someone had a dispute with him, he would definitely not be an actor.
But Hugo will never compromise because of James' success and prestige. James dislikes this kind of frustration, even disgust. But James is not an idiot, never has been. It's just that he is so used to being strong in front of actors that he has forgotten that his opponent is Hugo, currently the most powerful actor in Hollywood. This is also the reason why James does not like Hugo. If Hugo becomes a member of the "Titanic", this is an absolutely unacceptable result for James.
"I don't think Leonardo DiCaprio is a suitable actor." When the anger reached its peak, James controlled his emotions and regained his composure. Especially realizing that he had lost his temper in front of Hugo just now, which made James more stable at this time.
Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. He really didn't expect James to be so careful, and because of his own refusal, even Leonardo would now refuse together.
However, in Hugo’s memory, there are two historical candidates for "Titanic" actors, one is Matthew McConaughey, and the other is Leonardo. The former is the one that Fox hopes to use in the 20th century. The latter is what James insists. The final result is very clear. James successfully persuaded Twentieth Century Fox to become Leonardo. As for Matthew... he fell into a vase actor until more than ten years later, when he made a comeback, he actually surpassed Leonardo and took the lead in the Oscar actor, the Golden Man.
The encounters in life are always so interesting.
However, now James has changed his mind because of Hugo. The trajectory of history is really unpredictable.
"James, if you miss a good actor because you don't like me, you will lose the Titanic, not me." Hugo did not try to persuade James, but pointed out the key point. Because Hugo knew that facing James’ personality, if he suddenly softened his attitude, things would not be easy to solve. "As I said just now, I like the script of'Titanic' very much, sincerely, I recommend Leo not because he is my friend, but because he is indeed the most suitable candidate. Of course, Leo missed this script, and there will always be the next one; but'Titanic' missed Leo , But it may not be possible to find a more perfect candidate."
Hugo's toughness made James clenched his teeth again, but he had to admit that Hugo actually said the most important part of his heart: he is optimistic about Leonardo.
From the beginning, James did not want Hugo to take over the script of "Titanic", but the persistence of Kevin Pence and Shirley Lansing made it difficult for James to fight. In private, James personally believes that Leonardo will be the perfect candidate for the role of Jack, both in appearance and temperament, including acting.
However, James also knows that Leonardo has always rejected commercial films. He has tried Rick secretly, knowing that Leonardo does not consider commercial films at all. The only time he starred in "Life and Death Hour" was because of Hugo—— It's Hugo again. This makes James gnash his teeth, but he is helpless.
"But you forgot one thing, this is just your idea, not his idea. What's more, there are so many outstanding actors in Hollywood, I will never lack choices. Matthew McConaughey is a very good choice." James condensed all his emotions and spoke calmly.
Hugo chuckled lightly, "You are the director, you have the final say." Hugo gave James a step in a timely manner. He knew that he was driving James hard. It is estimated that even Kevin and Shirley could not find a solution. "But I can assure you that Leo does not reject the script of'Titanic'."
Hugo did not say anything to death, leaving James with a lot of leeway. This really eased James' mood a lot, first tightening and then loosening. Before he knew it, James' mentality changed, "Huh, my job, no I need you to direct. Since you refused to appear in my work, that would be great, saving me a lot of tedious work."
After he finished speaking, James hung up the phone. Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Hugo pulled out a wry smile. It seemed that he was destined to be an "Avatar".
Standing on the spot stretched out, and finally confirmed the "Titanic" matter, Hugo felt that the whole person was relieved. Hugo is not planning to be busy with movies in the near future. He needs to focus on music for a period of time and enjoy the happiness that music brings. Unlike movies, in the world of music, Hugo insists on himself, the most true and essential self.
Whether it's Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, or Paramount, it has nothing to do with Hugo for the time being.
But without waiting for the lazy waist to stretch out, the phone in his hand actually rang again, which made Hugo frowned. When did his phone become a hotline, even though he thought so, Hugo still picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Hugo."
"Hey, Hugo, this is Kevin." It turned out to be Kevin Pence. "So, where are you now? There hasn't been much news about you lately, almost thought you disappeared." Unlike James, Kay The beginning of the article is to start with ridicule.
"Aren't you just catching me?" Hugo said half-jokingly, "So, you call at this time and let me guess,'Titanic'?" Hugo also didn't want to go around, take the initiative This topic was brought up.
When Kevin heard Hugo’s tone , he sighed softly in his heart, "So, there is really no hope?" Among the eight major film companies, Hugo has the most and most frequent dealings. , Kevin knows Hugo very well, since Hugo took the initiative to bring up this matter, it is basically a certainty.
"Kevin, believe me, Leo will be a better choice, I am not a panacea." Hugo's tone was very relaxed, and the load on his shoulders was relieved.
Kevin originally planned to persuade Hugo, but after a comprehensive consideration, Kevin knows that Hugo’s words are correct. For James, for Hugo, and for the "Titanic", Leonardo is the most wise choice. of. It was this understanding that made Kevin sigh directly. He planned for so long, in fact, hoping that Hugo could insure the "Titanic", but the result was still not quite as good. Pleasant. But Hugo has already starred in "Independence Day", he can't be too greedy, can he?
"Okay, I believe your judgment." Kevin also relaxed his tone and said, "However, I have a requirement. You must play a guest role, even if you support Leo."
"A guest appearance?" Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, this time he did not hesitate for too long, and readily agreed, "No problem, I'll be waiting anytime."
