Things go well beyond Rick’s plan. It’s definitely easier to convince Curtis than Barry. In front of Hugo, Curtis doesn’t have much bargaining chips. It’s not too difficult for his inner balance to make a measurement. The matter has settled in the moment-he has always been a wise man. Of course, the most important thing is Charlize's outstanding performance.

Charlize’s long-term persistence and hard work finally came to the point of reaping. After experiencing the “devil spokesperson” training, Charlize’s acting skills have reached the peak of the current level. The audition for “L.A. Confidential” can be said to be complete. Come at your fingertips. But to really make the role of Lynn shine, Charlize still needs to continue to work hard, perhaps, this role can become a key turning point for her breakthrough.

In the face of Charlize's excellence, even if Curtis wanted to continue to oppose it, he didn't have much to stand on, so he sold Hugo a favor. At least, on the surface, this is a happy choice. "L.A. Confidential" had a good start.

In fact, when Charlize came into contact with the "L.A. Confidential" script, he was quite repulsive of the role of Lynn, because Lynn is a call girl-this is a career that relies on appearance to achieve goals, which also means For Lynn must maximize his appearance advantage, so that people ignore Lynn's sense of existence. In other words, it is likely to be reduced to a vase. This is also a situation that Charlize has been avoiding.

Hugo persuaded Charlize that, in Hugo's view, appearance was originally part of the performance. Of course, many actors are recognized by destroying or even demonizing their appearance, allowing the audience to focus their attention on their performances. After the 21st century, actresses who have followed this path and won the Oscars There are countless hands, including Charlize Theron in 2004.

However, it is impossible for actors to continue on the path of "self-destructive appearance". More often, actors need to use their appearance to make facial features, height, body shape and other self-conditions also become part of the performance. Hugo successfully completed this attempt for the first time, which was in "Schindler's List".

How to cleverly use one's own advantages to integrate performance into it, reaching or even surpassing the meaning of the role itself, is no longer an actor playing a role, but a role becoming a part of the actor. This is a very important lesson on the road of performance.

After thinking about it, Charlize decided to challenge the role of Lynn in the "L.A. Secret", and he was still full of combat power and full firepower. After trying his skills today, he successfully won the role.

When he left the breakfast shop, Kevin gave Hugo a big hug, then whispered in his ear, "You owe me once." After that, he patted Hugo on the shoulder, then turned and left. It made Hugo a big smile.

After watching Kevin, Curtis and others leave, Charlize looked at Hugo's royal blue BMW sedan and couldn't help but chuckle, "I thought it had become Samora's car." Hugo moved. When I went to Malibu, I bought this new car at the same time, but because Hugo does not drive himself, this car is basically driven by Samora.

The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth also outlines, "I plan to give this car to Samora, and I will buy another one by myself in two days." Since that night, Hugo has finally completely overcome the obstacle of driving the car-alone After driving for four or five hours, no matter how many psychological obstacles he has, he has been overcome, and his body has fully adapted to it.

The United States is originally a country on wheels, and the use of car transportation is obviously the most convenient. When Hugo went out today, he drove over by himself, so that Samora could have a little rest in the morning.

Charlize pressed his chin seriously, "It's a good thing for you." In the United States, you can get a driver's license at the age of sixteen. After that, almost everyone owns a car, so this is indeed an important change for Hugo. By the way, how did Cameron react to my role in'L.A. Confidential'?"

If Charlize remembers correctly, in addition to Kim Basinger and Nicole Kidman, the competitors for Lynn's role, Cameron is also on the list. Although Charlize is very calm, she relied on her own strength to get the role, but she had to consider Cameron's mood-not to mention, this time she and Hugo are cooperating, although there are not as many opponents as expected. .

Hugo shrugged and said calmly, "We broke up."

Charlize was stunned, his expression paused for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Although I know that such a reaction is wrong, I still want to say, congratulations."

Hugo's original emotions were still a bit mixed, and he didn't know how to explain it. The turbulent heart seemed to have found a catharsis, but seeing Charlize reacting in this way, he also laughed helplessly, "You are still laughing because of you. We just broke up, okay? You are a little conscious anyway!"

Charlize spread his hands innocently and shrugged his shoulders, "There are many problems between you, don't put the blame on me." Hugo shook his head helplessly, "But, I'm serious, congratulations You. Remember? I said before, she is not for you."

"Hey!" Hugo looked at Charlize's "I knew it" expression, and snorted silently, "When you broke up with Mr. Perfect, I didn't say,'I told you a long time ago. '."

Charlize raised his index finger of his right hand and squinted it in front of Hugo, "No, no, you did tell me a long time ago. Remember? "Mr. Perfect"? In fact, you thought he was not suitable for me from the beginning. , Isn’t it? It’s just that I was too fragile that night, you are embarrassed to complain about me, you must be cheering in your heart."

Hugo pursed his mouth and seemed to think about it seriously, "Well, I can't deny it. Mr. Perfect is indeed not for you. Sooner or later you will be abandoned, because he is so perfect."

"Hugo Lancaster!" Charlize lifted his foot and kicked towards Hugo's calf, but Hugo seemed to have expected it a long time ago. He jumped directly and avoided the past, leaving Charlize standing dumbfounded. In situ. Hugo's eyes widened, and he said in a natural tone, "You can't expect me to stand and be beaten?"

Immediately after Hugo opened the car door and hid in, Charlize stood outside and stomped his feet, standing still grind his teeth fiercely, "You better hide for the rest of your life!"

After the selection of the heroine of "L.A. Confidential" went through a small set of twists and turns, Charlize finally succeeded in taking it, and the next job was to be handed over to Rick to negotiate slowly. After experiencing the ups and downs in the early stage, the development of the matter went smoothly. The cast of "L.A. Confidential" soon formed a rudimentary form, and all the actors were determined one after another.

Hugo signed a contract with "L.A. Confidential" in the form of a global box office dividend of 20%, acting as an actor and a producer; Kevin Spacey and Charlize Theron successfully joined the crew after signing the contract, and then James Cromwell (james.), Danny DeVito (danny.), David Strezern (.) and other powerful actors have signed contracts.

After the little-known Russell Crowe’s last signing, this also means that the main cast of "L.A. Confidential" has been completed, and only after the extras and other supporting actors are signed, they can be put into shooting at any time.

It is worth mentioning that in this tug-of-war between Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company and Warner Bros., relying on Hugo’s deterrence, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company still has the upper hand. Among the roles, Hugo, Charlize and Russell are all under the banner of Endeavour Elite Agency, and only Kevin is the artist of Innovative Artist Agency. In addition, among the main roles, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company still accounts for 70%.

On the surface, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company won the big contract and held the main control over the "L.A. Confidential", achieving another victory. But in fact, the failure to achieve bundling marketing can only be regarded as an unsuccessful transaction for Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. The success of "Independence Day" and the power of Hugo make everyone a little too optimistic, but in fact, the three major Hollywood brokerage companies are able to achieve bundled marketing not only because of their huge power, but also because they have enough wealth. Actor resources.

The current power and connections of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company are far less than those of the three major brokerage companies. Although it has temporarily surpassed the United Elite Brokerage Company, it has become the leader outside the three major brokerage companies but in terms of overall scale Shang is still only at the same level as the United Elite Brokerage Company, and there is bound to be some competition between the two. This is also the reason why the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has been steadily expanding its contacts and strengths.

What's more, Endeavour Elite Agency is now able to take pride in the real top actors-Hugo and Tom Hanks are currently the top figures of the Hollywood pyramid, but the first-line actors within the company are seriously scarce and can be their own stars. There are only a handful of actors who have aura to drive newcomers, and the whole foundation is not solid. After all, the company has only been established for less than three years, and the foundation is not enough after all.

It can be said that the gap between Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company and the three major brokerage companies is still comprehensive. To break the monopoly of the three major experience companies, there is still a long way to go. The only good news is that Endeavour Elite Brokerage has a bright future now. They are constantly developing upwards, and the future is still in their hands.

The cooperation process of "L.A. Confidential" made Hugo one of the producers, but it also made Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company aware of its own shortcomings. This can be regarded as a harvest.

After a fierce battle, Rick finally arranged everything, and he also needed to further communicate with Hugo, not only about the follow-up work of "L.A. Confidential", but also about the company's next plans.
