"Hugo, I'm sorry. In this negotiation, we finally lost the initiative. Paramount decided that Kim Carey will play Truman's World." On the other end of the call, Rick's voice was full of exhaustion and apology. Perhaps it is the first time since Hugo signed a contract with Endeavour Elite Brokerage, they tried their best, but finally missed the work.

Of course, Rick knew that this couldn't be more normal in Hollywood, and even the names of Tom Crew, Tom Hanks, and Arnold Schwarzenegger might not be able to get his own satisfactory roles. This is the reality of Hollywood, and no one is irreplaceable.

But Hugo has gone smoothly in recent years and has hardly encountered any challenges. It can be said that it has swept the entire Hollywood, not to mention that the "storm" has just created a new history in the music market. Therefore, such a common situation still makes Rick feel very uncomfortable, and feel that he is still negligent this time. "I'm really sorry. At the last moment, Jin's agent agreed to reduce the price of the film by 50%. This is a condition that Paramount is difficult to refuse. I still have a problem with the timing, and finally missed the script..."

Rick rubbed his hair in annoyance, his temples were throbbing, making his brows tangled, "Hugo, I'm sorry..."

Hugo was standing in the corridor of the hotel at this time. Just now, the three main actors of the "Perfect" crew gathered for the first script exercise. During the break, Joseph dialed Rick's phone-apparently Rick just now Hugo had already been called, but Joseph told Hugo that he was busy, so Rick asked Joseph to call when Hugo was resting. But Hugo did not expect that it would bring bad news.

Hugo only felt that there was a "buzz" in his brain, and all hopes were extinguished in an instant, as if thousands of lights illuminate the entire city at night, but fell into a blackout in a short moment, and the whole world fell into In the endless darkness, even the moonlight seemed extremely weak.

"Uh... it's okay... it doesn't matter... I mean, it's not your responsibility." Hugo was a little incoherent, and he had to stop his upset footsteps and take two deep breaths in a row.

The recent preparations for "Perfect and Perfect" have gone so smoothly, so that Hugo was a little bit proud, but forgot the project of "Trumen's World"-this classic comedy script that Hugo earnestly hopes to be a member of, this Hugo is bitter The outstanding comedy script that has been waiting for more than three years, this outstanding comedy script that Hugo hopes to devote all his attention to meticulously crafted, just missed...

Take a deep breath, "I know, it's not your fault." Hugo forced himself to calm down and control his brain with reason. "We all know how much energy Marvin Josephson spent behind this." International Innovation The management company moves in frequently, almost everywhere against the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. From "Saving Private Ryan" to this time "Trumen's World", even in the preparation process of "Perfect Perfection", they secretly made it impossible. Shao Buzi-Holly Hunter is an actor under the International Innovation Management Corporation.

"What's more, businessmen are always chasing profits. They definitely think that Kim Carey is more suitable for this comedy than me..." Hugo said here, closing his eyes, only feeling stuffy in his chest. The disappointment is indescribable, even if he missed "Shawshank's salvation", he was not so excited. Because in the past Hugo only hoped to receive good works, without a clear goal; "Trumen's World" can be regarded as the comedy masterpiece that Hugo really wanted to try for the first time in the past few years, but now it has missed it.

The appearance of Peter Weir almost made Hugo think that it was only a matter of time for him to sign with "Trumen's World", but he did not expect to miss it in the end. "Hu... Rick, you did your best... You did your best..." Hugo still wanted to comfort Rick, but couldn't say a word.

"Hugo..." Rick opened his mouth, but couldn't even say an apology this time. Even through the phone, he could feel Hugo's deep disappointment, which made Rick very self-blame. He recently put too much emphasis on the interests of Endeavour's elite brokerage company, and at the same time opened two works under the name of Hugo-this temptation. The confusion was so great that it made him lose his sense of measure and forget that he was always the Hugo agent. He was too greedy and self-confident, which led to missed opportunities.

With the development of the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company becoming larger and larger, Rick gradually realized that he was unable to do what he wanted. After all, people's energy is limited, but ambition often blinds people. Thinking of this, Rick couldn't forgive himself, because he knew clearly that it wasn't just that he owed Hugo, it was much more than that.

"Go and rest, I... I still have a job here, we will talk about it when we get back." Hugo was exhausted after all, and could not continue. Even if reason told him that he shouldn't blame Rick—he knew it was unreasonable to blame Rick, but the disappointment that was hard to hide at this time still made him gloomy, so he hung up the phone.

Hugo tightly held the mobile phone in his hand, although it was said that "Trumen's World" was the first to be interested in Kim Carey, although it was said that "Trumen's World" was the protagonist of "Trumen's World" in the footsteps of history. "Trumen's World" found Hugo completely by accident, but...but at this time the indescribable disappointment and depression still invaded, and immediately drowned Hugo.

He really wants to be in this work. He really wants to challenge this comedy seriously. He really wants to try something completely different. He really wants to challenge the different bottlenecks of acting again. ...The most important thing is that he really really likes the work "Trumen's World", and he is eager to give this work a different soul with his performance...

However, it was just a delusion at the moment.

"Bah!" There was a crisp sound. Before Hugo realized it, he had smashed the phone against the wall, and the not-so-sturdy phone was broken into countless pieces.

Hugo looked at the wreckage of mobile phones all over the floor. He didn't even know that the anger in his chest was so violent that he was a little surprised at the fragments, but then Hugo laughed, with a bitter smile on his face, that kind of intense frustration. Feeling made him start to mock himself-whether he lost control of his emotions because he was too eager for this work, or because he stood at the top for too long and became too arrogant to accept rejection. But the most ironic thing is that even Hugo himself can't distinguish clearly.

At this time the hotel room door opened and Jack Nicholson looked around, "Hugo, come in, and the rehearsal will restart in five minutes."

Hugo smiled at Jack, "No problem, I'll catch up in a while." After Jack turned and entered the room, the smile at the corner of his mouth narrowed again.

Hugo leaned against the wall, only feeling a little tired. Although he has been busy for "perfect perfection" during this period, he didn't pay much attention to the creation of history by "hurricanes and rains", but as long as he has time, he will find time to read "Trumen's World". Especially after the conversation with Helen that day, Hugo is groping for his own style of comedy performance. For this reason, he even found out his cameo episode in "Friends" and watched it again several times.

Hugo has gradually conceived the role of Truman in his mind, and he is also trying to find the right way to perform, but the result...the result is missing from this work, the frustration is beyond words. Now Hugo can be sure that the reason why he was so disappointed is indeed because he missed this wonderful comedy script, and after missing "Trumen's World", I don't know when the next time he encounters a suitable comedy script.

Hugo leaned back and raised his head, holding the back of his head against the wall, but he painted Truman's appearance in his mind... Then, the corner of Hugo's mouth was slightly drawn with a smile, not a small smile, but a bright smile. . Even at the moment when life is fragmented, Truman still chooses to face life with a smile, not because of any special principles, but because he firmly believes that how you treat life, life will treat you.

The smile narrowed slightly, but Hugo's eyes were blank. The bitterness and firmness in the smile intertwined, revealing a trace of fragility. Then, the smile at the corner of the mouth was slowly outlined again, the light of determination and courage slowly bloomed, and he said softly, "Good morning, in case I can't see you, so good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"

At this moment, Hugo is not Hugo, but Truman. He really feels Truman's kind of marionette-like marionette trapped in the center of the stage Everything he once thought was extremely real. But it was just a lie, and what was even more frightening was that the truth he longed for was outside the vast ocean, unknown, unfamiliar, fear, everything was hidden outside the boundless ocean. But in the end, Truman chose to take a step forward, embracing the unknown and freedom. Just like Hugo.

Closing his eyes, Hugo seemed to have returned to January 14, 1992. That night opened up a new and unfamiliar world for him, but in the end he chose to take a step forward. The courage of "Second Chance (. and the determination of "Don't be annoyed by the past (’t...in.anger have opened up a different world for him.

"Hugo, Hugo..."

The sound in his ear made Hugo open his eyes and saw Joseph when he turned his head. He said annoyedly, "I'll be here." Hugo believed that if he played Truman, he could give Truman more. There are many things, and Truman can also let him learn more things, but now he has missed it.

"Hugo." Joseph said persistently, which made Hugo frown. Joseph came over, looked around, found the wreckage of the phone on the ground, and immediately showed a completely enlightened look, "Yours Phone," Joseph handed his cell phone to Hugo, "Shirley Lansing's call."
