Walking into the restaurant, the manager on duty immediately greeted him, showing a perfect and cordial smile, "Mr. Lancaster, you are welcome to visit again. Your friend has arrived in the restaurant, waiting for your arrival at the location, please Come with me." After speaking, he politely led the way ahead and took Hugo forward.

Then Hugo saw Rick Rosen, Catherine Kennedy and M-Night-Samalan who were already sitting in the position from a distance.

Catherine watched all directions and listened to all directions. She saw Hugo for the first time, picked up the napkin on her lap, and stood up. This action immediately caught the attention of Knight next to her, and immediately stood up, but it was obvious that Knight’s movements were a little flustered. After he stood up, he found that the napkin on his knee had fallen off, and raised his hand. He wanted to catch, but realized that the more important thing was the person in front of him, so he stood up straight again, which made his movements bewildered.

During the hesitation, Hugo had already come to them. The shift manager smiled at everyone, and then quietly exited.

"Dear Hugo, after not seeing each other for a while, you seem to be more attractive again. Even though I am married, I still love you." Catherine's gentleness carried some teasing words, showing that she and The intimacy between Hugo.

Hugo shrugged slightly, "It's not my fault." The slightly arrogant words made Catherine laugh suddenly.

Katherine noticed Knight's tightness out of her sight. Even at this time, Hugo's humor did not make Knight relax. He chuckled and smiled, but he didn't smile. It looks like a broken puppet. Catherine knew that the director who was able to remain comfortable in front of Hugo was one of the few in Hollywood, let alone a newcomer? "Hugo, let me introduce to you, this is m-Night-Samaran, a new generation director who has just entered the industry."

Hugo turned to look at Knight. Knight is a typical Indian, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, dark skin, and slightly curly short hair. There was a shy and restrained smile at the corner of his mouth, and a pair of jet-black eyes trembled slightly because of being too nervous, and a strong exotic atmosphere rushed toward his face, even if he didn't speak. It can also be felt: he is an Indian.

"Hello, this is Hugo Lancaster for the first time." Hugo stretched out his right hand and looked at Knight with a smile.

However, Knight was stunned directly in place, a little at a loss, so that Hugo's right hand was stuck in the air without any reaction. At this time, Rick, who was standing next to him and had not spoken, took the initiative to speak, with a little smile in his voice, "It seems. The atmosphere tonight is a bit tight."

This made both Hugo and Catherine chuckle, and Knight twitched the corners of his mouth, drawing a smile. But that appearance is not really beautiful, but after this reminder, he finally reacted, and quickly stretched out his right hand, took Hugo's right hand, and shook it firmly. When he was finished, he raised his head and saw Hugo still waiting with a smile on his face. Knight realized what he had done wrong, "Oh, sorry, I'm M-Night-Samaran, I'm Samaran, I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Lancaster."

The unique Indian accent is too existential, and it directly declares Knight's true identity.

In fact, Hugo was a little surprised. He was always curious about what Knight, who has been pitted by the six invincibles and known as the "Hollywood six major film company killer", would be three-headed and six-armed; and even at the box office and word of mouth. In the case of failure, Knight can still find investment continuously-until the six big ones are scammed all over and then temporarily stopped, then Knight must be a very persuasive person, whether it is personality charm or lobbying ability. , There is bound to be outstanding.

But after the actual meeting, Knight's youthfulness and restraint were completely unexpected.

Think about it carefully. In fact, Knight has just entered Hollywood now. He has only filmed "Awake (. Awake, and the response has been mediocre, and the experience is still insufficient; more importantly, Knight is even better than the rain. Guo is three years younger! In other words, Knight is not yet twenty-eight years old this year, and he is a "stunned boy" from the very beginning.

Therefore, so far, Knight's "six killers" have not really shown their power.

"Please sit down, otherwise everyone in the restaurant will stare at us." Hugo said with a smile. After all four of them were seated, the waiter handed over the wine list first.

While chatting and discussing wine, the atmosphere gradually became warmer. Knight also has some knowledge about red wine and can add to their topic, but it can be clearly felt that Knight is very nervous-the glass of clear water in front of him quickly bottomed out, and he had to ask the waiter to add water again. Some beads of sweat can even be faintly seen on the forehead.

"Nate, are you okay? Or are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Although Hugo can understand Knight's nervousness, the appearance of Knight in front of him is a bit exaggerated, making Hugo strongly doubt whether Knight is sick in his stomach.

"No, no, no." Knight shook his head repeatedly. He wanted to talk, but found his throat was dry, he had to say "Sorry", took another sip of water, and wiped his hands on the napkin on his knees. "I’m just... a little excited. You know, Mr. Spielberg is my motivation to become a director, he is my childhood idol; and after coming to Hollywood, you are my favorite actor, and Your cooperation has always been what I dream of. The excitement is really...really...I mean, it's really exciting." Knight was a little incoherent, but he still didn't give up, gritting his teeth and then said, " In fact, when the screenplay of the "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" was being created, I used you as the prototype to write the character of Malcolm."

"Oh? How to say?" Hugo was a little curious.

Knight turned his head and looked at Catherine. She seemed to be asking for Catherine’s advice. Catherine smiled. "It’s the first time I’ve heard of this. You said that when I was reading the script, I did have this. Feeling, it’s no wonder that the image of Hugo came to mind first. I thought it was just because of my personal preference." Catherine used a simple humor to dispel Knight’s youthfulness and restraint, making Hugo and Rick smiled.

However, Knight did not notice Catherine’s efforts. He only got a positive answer from Catherine before he said, “Actually, after reading the script, they all think Cole is the core of the whole movie. His special ability will The whole story is connected. But in fact, Malcolm is not only a doctor, he is also the key to promoting the development of the story and affecting the depth of the story."

Hugo listened attentively, which made Knight's confidence rise slightly, "Uh, I'm not sure... if you have read the script..." In fact, Rick had already given the script to Hugo three days ago. But Hugo has no feedback here, so Knight is a little uncertain. Hugo did not answer at this time, just to indicate that Knight can continue to say, "Malcolm’s role is painful, from the first moment of the movie. , He was immersed in pain. On the one hand, he was annoyed that his failure caused the child to choose to self-determine. On the other hand, he doubted whether he was qualified for the job of guiding Cole. Therefore, he was always suffering. But while suffering, he must put all his energy into helping Cole, so that he can avoid the misfortune from happening again. This is one of them."

"In addition, Malcolm is also confused. He has been trying hard to think about what is happening around him. He is trying to understand the changes in his life, including work and family. His life is becoming more and more strange. , But he doesn’t know the reason, and there is no way to solve it. He needs to get out of the predicament, to help Cole, but also to help himself, because life never stops. This is the second."

"In the midst of his painful past, struggling present, and confused future life, Malcolm still needs to reach out to save Cole. This kind of complicated sense of struggle, I can't think of any other than you. An actor can do the job.” Knight said categorically. This is the most fluent sentence he has said since meeting today, and his eyes burst with unprecedented light. It can be seen that this is from his heart. Deep.

Hugo couldn't help showing a shy smile, wanting to be polite, but Knight continued to say eagerly, "But that's not all. If only this is the case, the role of Malcolm can only be said to be important. In Malcolm, we can see the emotional bond between him and his wife, as well as the subtle connection between him and Cole The most important thing is that he represents life and death , The contradiction between the present and the past, existence and disappearance, staying and leaving, the pain of struggle is deep in the heart, and Cole is the channel for Malcolm to express this emotion. This is what makes' The most special part of the'Spiritual Sixth Sense' is also what sets it apart from other stories."

"It's like squeezing the core ideas of the'ordinary man' into the'exorcist'. And I am responsible for the part of the'ordinary man'." Hugo's simple answer made Knight's whole person bright. Get up, nodded vigorously.

In fact, in the story of the "sixth sense of the supernatural", people are more amazed by the emotional burden maintained by the role of Cole, but in fact, Malcolm is the core role, and his existence itself is the emotional contradiction and entanglement. As Knight said, the difficulty of Malcolm's role is far beyond people's imagination!

The same is true for Hugo himself. When he was watching "Sixth Sense of Supernatural", he focused almost all of his attention on Cole. All emotional fetters were maintained on the eight-year-old boy, but ignored. Malcolm's presence. But after reading the script this time, I don't know whether it was because of the experience of the two lives or the experience of the actors that changed the perspective, giving Hugo a new interpretation of the whole story.

Especially about the role of Malcolm. (To be continued)
