"So, did he live here?" Charlize sat cross-legged on a beach chair, with the "Perfect" script on his knees, raised his chin and pointed to James Franco, who was playing against Alex. , With a smile on the corner of his mouth, jokingly.

Hugo shrugged, looked back at the lively lawn, and said embarrassingly, "I'm not sure." James signed up for the Acting Academy and has just started studying now, Alex, Leonardo and Toby. When someone finally found a student who could "teach" acting skills, several of them seemed very excited. In their spare time these days, they were all playing the most basic role setting and role substitution games in the acting academy, which was completely enjoyable.

"He called home and explained the situation. I'm not sure what he said, but... his family agreed that he should stay in Los Angeles to learn acting." Hugo turned his head and retracted his gaze, "So I thought ...He should be living here temporarily. After he finds a job, he can pay the rent and move out."

"You know you have no responsibility for him, right?" Charlize raised his eyebrows and said.

Hugo pursed his lips. "Are you sure?" As James said, no matter whether he wants to admit it or not, they are inevitably linked together. Among all the things that have happened, James has always been An innocent person who was accidentally implicated.

Charlize chuckled and nodded, "I'm pretty sure." Then she carefully checked the look between Hugo's eyebrows, "But he is indeed innocent. So... as long as you are sure you have no problem, then He has no problem staying.” Charlize was always worried about Hugo. For her, Lena was just a stranger, and Hugo was her friend.

Hugo also lightly tapped his chin, "Yes...Yes..." Then he laughed, "At least he is not a stranger, is he?" I have known James for several years, and later through Came. Long, Hugo also knows that he was taken down in Houston. When taking medicine, it was James who really worked hard. Therefore, they are indeed not strangers.

"So, what do you think?" Hugo pointed to the script on Charlize's knee, returning to the serious topic of today.

Charlize frowned, "I'm not sure. It's undeniable that when I was reading the script, the person in my mind was indeed not you. The first impression...it should be someone, uh, older. People, but..." Charlize also tried to organize his own language to express his true feelings, "but I think your acting skills are enough to change this kind of initial impression, and that kind of detailed sculpture can often make the impression huge. Changes. So, I’m not sure what you mean."

Hugo thought intently, "Let's put it this way, you know, the original intention of this script was Ernst," Charlize nodded in affirmation, "Although I played the role when I was creating it, It is described by the goal, but in many cases, when grasping the details of the script, it is inevitable that there will be deviations. It is more the role that affects the pen and ink. Therefore, I think maybe the role will be closer to Ernst. In other words, if I come to play , The effect will definitely be discounted. Of course, I know that acting can change many things, but acting is not a panacea, acting cannot make up for that pure natural impression."

"So, you are worried that if you come to act on your own, it will not achieve your original intention of writing the script?" Charlize grasped the core of the problem and got Hugo's affirmative answer, but Charlize couldn't help but waver. I shook my head, "Sorry, I can't give you any advice. I know the actor's goal, and I hope to inject life into the character with acting skills and become a part of the story, but the screenwriter's goal? My understanding is too superficial."

"This is also my biggest confusion at the moment. I think the biggest goal of the screenwriter should be to make the stories beautiful and to convey ideas through these stories. But I am not sure." Hugo said while thinking.

"Where's Ernst? I still haven't given you any response?" Charlize knew that Hugo had visited Ernst specially, so that's why he asked. Hugo shrugged, his face full of embarrassment and regret even if he answered, "Perhaps you should come directly to the door, you know, what Ernst needs is a little excitement."

When Hugo saw Charlize’s "You know I know" expression, he couldn't help but laughed, and remembered the time at Sunset Square. They always like to make noises deliberately, and then anger Ernst, just to make Ernst doesn't want to stay at home every day. Later, it was quite effective. Unfortunately, after they moved, Ernst retracted into his protective shell.

"It seems I interrupted your good time." A voice came from the stairs behind, and Hugo and Charlize turned their heads, and then they saw a group of people walking down the steps, and it was Shirley who spoke. -Lansing, she is walking in the front, next to Rick Rosen.

However, Hugo did not have time to say hello to Shirley and Rick, and immediately turned his attention to the thin and tall figure behind. The man had gray hair, wrinkled cheeks, and thick lines drawn between the gullies. Bookish; although it is midsummer now, he still wears a sky blue shirt with vertical stripes, buttoned neatly, and even with a bow tie, which looks like a decent English gentleman, the kind of old and pedantic Temperament is easily daunting.

When Hugo saw this man, his expression couldn't help but pause, and then burst into bloom in an instant, "Peter? Oh, my God!" Hugo shouted, and then saw the old gentleman reveal a The kind smile was like when the master saw his beloved disciple, which made Hugo immediately leave the beach chair and greet him quickly, "Jesus Christ, how many years have we not seen each other?"

"Six years and five months." The gentleman gave the answer accurately, standing on the flat ground in front of the stairs with his feet together, politely waiting for Hugo to come up, and finally Hugo stopped in front of him. Stretching out his right hand, he smiled and said politely, "Look at this young man, he is already a gentleman through and through, I can hardly recognize it anymore."

Hugo held the opponent's right hand and couldn't help but sway it twice. His enthusiasm could not be expressed in words. Hearing the other party's words, he couldn't help but chuckle, "I believe Mr. Keating will be very satisfied with his education. Fruitful."

The gentleman’s smile lightly outlined, and then he looked up and down the Hugo in front of him: Hugo was resting at home today, wearing a simple lake-blue T-shirt and white beach pants, with a pair of beach herringbone on his feet. drag. Compared to the gentleman's full formal attire, this can almost be said to be disheveled, but he slightly clicked on his chin, "Believe me, Mr. Keating can't be more satisfied."

Speaking of Mr. Keating, perhaps some senior film lovers will think of a movie, "Death Poetry Society", and this work is precisely Hugo’s famous work, which has special significance for Hugo's entire career. One of the works. The gentleman in front of him is the director of the "Death Poetry Society", Peter Will (peter.). Although Hugo joined the "Death Poetry Club" with many additional factors, Peter really caught Hugo's bookishness at a glance. During the filming process, Peter even polished Hugo's acting skills. Even if Peter is Hugo's master, there is absolutely no problem.

Peter, who is already over half a hundred years old, is a very special director in Hollywood. He is a typical Hollywood director. Most of his works can be called "commercial movies", but he is special because he refuses Following the commercial trend and shooting standardized commercial films, on the contrary, he always interprets the profound, struggling and contradictory human nature with his own unique style and aesthetic concepts, presenting profound connotations.

For the teaching of actors, Peter is unique. Among the current Hollywood superstars, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Robin Williams can be said to be the top actors he has discovered or popularized. Guo can also be regarded as a disciple of Peter, who has truly entered the top ranks of Hollywood through the "Death Poetry Club".

However, after filming the "Dead Poetry Society", Peter slowed down his work, almost half-retired, and only shot two works in the past eight years. Therefore, Hugo hasn't seen Peter for a long time, and when he saw Peter appearing on the stairs just now, he couldn't hide his excitement.

"It seems that our worries are all wrong Shirley, who is standing aside, said with a smile, drawing Hugo’s attention, she shrugged, "We are all worried about you too It's been a long time since I saw Peter, I probably won't recognize him. "This is a pun. On the one hand, it refers to Hugo's face blindness. On the other hand, it also refers to Hugo's status as a superstar nowadays.

Hugo didn't mind, he just chuckled, "Even if it is true, I have to pretend to avoid being rude." This ridicule made everyone laugh out loud, and Hugo received Rick's sight. , This reacted, "Look, I'm still rude, please come in. The swimming pool is obviously not a good place to entertain guests."

Hugo stepped aside and signaled everyone to enter the house. Rick stayed at the end and whispered to Hugo, "New work." This made Hugo understand instantly.

Recently, Hugo has been looking for "perfect and perfect" cooperation, but Shirley came on behalf of Paramount today, not for this work, but for other requests. Such an accident caught Rick somewhat by surprise, so he did not notify Yu in advance. fruit.

Hugo stood there, but he thought about it seriously. In fact, it would be a good idea if Peter was to direct "Perfect". It’s just that, I don’t know what Shirley brought Peter over today, and what works she came here with, and knowing that Hugo is preparing for "Perfect Perfection", this is really curious.
