Chapter 267： Attitude change

Uma looked at the "Variety" magazine on the table. Almost everyone in the circle would subscribe to "Variety" and "Hollywood Report", "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" are also required. These four newspapers and magazines are important to the entertainment industry. The transmission of information is of vital importance, and any memorabilia and professional information can be found here.

Therefore, Uma also knew for the first time that Hugo had joined the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle".

Uma didn’t realize that she was looking at the phone. Her head was blank at this time and she didn’t know what she was thinking. When she recovered, she realized that she seemed to be waiting for Hugo’s. telephone. But why? Isn't everything over? Why does she still have a sense of expectation?

The day before yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Uma originally thought that she would spend this holiday with Hugo, and even guessed what activities Hugo would prepare for her, but the changes in her life could never be predicted. As a result, she was alone. Over. Moreover, on Valentine's Day, Uma also received a bad news, "Sugar Coated Trap" performance opportunity, she missed.

This is too ridiculous and ironic.

I deceived Hugo for the so-called cause, and even ended this relationship, but ended up with nothing? So, what is it that I am struggling for?

Uma couldn't help thinking about the words Hugo said at the time, "Maybe you haven't thought about it. Love and career will not conflict. I don't mind if you take the "Sugar Coated Trap"." This sentence is in Uma's. Circling in her mind, Uma always thought uncontrollably: If she chose to be honest with Hugo, starting from New Year's Eve, maybe things would be different. Maybe she can get the chance to perform in the "sugar-coated trap" and still be with Hugo; maybe not, but at least she can keep the love.

But now, there is nothing left. It seems that since then, Uma has always looked at the phone subconsciously.

And now? Hugo joined the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle", but she was empty-handed.

Uma forced herself to look away from the phone, and then warned herself not to do so again, because she had her pride and she did not allow herself to lower her head actively. Then Uma secretly told herself, "This is a terrible work, this is a terrible work... It will fail, it will fail... My original choice was not wrong, it was not wrong!"

Take a deep breath, take another deep breath, Uma strives to strengthen herself and strengthen her conviction.

In the office of the Los Angeles Times, Nicholas McLenna has been sitting in a sitting position for a quarter of an hour, and his head is still running fast.

Nicholas knows that no one in the industry is optimistic about the prospect of "Sleepless in Seattle". In addition to the script itself being considered a disaster, the downturn of Meg Ryan and Hugo is also very important.

Since "When Harry Meets Sally" became a hit, Meg has appeared in five movies in the past three years, but the response has been mediocre, and the deviant roles are not suitable for her image. This keeps her stuck in an awkward position. Although she and Julia Roberts are listed as the most representative'sex' sweethearts in the United States, she and Julia have been very unhappy in the past two years, and Julia has almost disappeared. On the big screen, Meg’s frequent performances did not bring any further results. Meg is now stuck in the middle of the first line and has no further chance, but he is slowly declining at a speed visible to the naked eye. This is really not good news.

Under such circumstances, Meg’s return to "lang" comic romantic comedy is considered to be a regressive performance, but also to fix her image in the sweetheart position. No one knows whether such a move can be successful. Most people obviously Is not optimistic. Coupled with a Hugo who has never appeared in any love movie, such a partner is really worrying.

In fact, from an objective point of view, Hugo's handsome appearance is very suitable for romance movies, but it will also produce bad consequences that make Hugo considered a "flower" bottle.

Therefore, Nicholas has to admit that he is really not optimistic about the future of "Sleepless in Seattle", no matter what point of view it is. But... there is always one but.

But why can’t I make up my mind to write this manuscript? Twenty-four hours have passed since I learned the news yesterday. Why can’t I type a single word? Nicholas asked himself . If you follow your previous habit, make a strong attack on Hugo's choice, and then wait for the movie to watch the jokes when the movie is released, but what's the difference this time?

Nicholas recalled how he and Hugo had confronted him several times. Before visiting the crew of "Scent of the Scent and Meet the Female", Nicholas and Hugo had not met each other, and writing news several times was negative news. , So he didn't show any mercy. He reached the peak at the Golden Raspberry Award. His cynicism and jokes against Hugo won very good sales.

However, the first official meeting between Nicholas and Hugo gave him a new understanding of the actor. He was positive, witty, humorous, gentle but not at the edge. However, Nicholas still didn’t let Hugo go, but took advantage of it. Hugo hyped the news of the Golden Raspberry Award again, and the effect is still very good.

The disapproval of "Scent of the "Female" People" before the release and the praise after the release, the support before the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and the praise after the release, are actually relatively objective. There is no special favoritism. Inwardly, Nicholas still hopes to continue to ridicule. This wish was realized in the Golden Globes celebration banquet, and Nicholas did not hesitate to criticize and satirize Hugo seriously.

However, the confrontation between Hugo and Anthony Stewart was too ‘pretty’. It made Nicholas really interested in the actor Hugo. Such a person is really too interesting. For Nicholas, Hugo is not only an actor he writes more news, but also an actor he really admires. Of course it’s not because of how “fine” Hugo’s acting skills are, but the “spirit” that Hugo showed during the confrontation with Anthony, that is, a kind of “spirit” who is in a weak position and is unwilling to give in. .

The usual Hugo is like this, the sun is bright; but in the face of setbacks and disasters, he is still like this, even if standing on the edge of the cliff in danger, he is still willing to face it with a smile and courage. After that press conference ended, Hugo ignored Nicholas at all, which further proved Nicholas' impression.

Suddenly, Nicholas became curious. He was very curious about where a talented but immature actor like Hugo would go in the entertainment circle in the future. It was like watching a babbling baby step by step. The autobiography of stepping to the top of the world in one step is generally unbelievable even as a bystander. If you can participate in it, it will be even more stimulating.

Nicholas suddenly understood his hesitation: curious. He wanted to be a witness of Hugo’s career in the entertainment industry. Not only did he want to see Hugo succeed, he also wanted to see Hugo stand up again in the face of setbacks. This curiosity affected Nicholas’ judgment. , Making him hesitate.

This emotion is the first time Nicholas has appeared since he became a reporter. He felt a little strange, but a little excited. Hmm, after understanding this, Nicholas's hands quickly worked on the typewriter, thinking like a stream of thoughts.

"I hope no one has forgotten that Nora Efron once created a classic script such as'When Harry Meets Sally'. Efron uses wit and clever language to tell a boring story that no one is optimistic about. Maybe It is Ephron’s ability. Behind such a seemingly impossible and more ridiculous story than a fairy tale, "Night in Seattle" hides Ephron’s understanding of love. Maybe this is what we should pay attention to. .Perhaps,'Sleepless in Seattle' will not become'When Sally meets Sally" because these are originally two completely different stories, but Ephron's new interpretation of love is worth looking forward to.

Lancaster is a representative figure among the twentieth generations of male actors in Hollywood today. He not only has a handsome appearance, but also proved his'colorful' acting skills with actual performance. Efron chose Lancaster for sure It's not because of his appearance, just look at Billy Christo (bdouly. crystal). Perhaps, Efron hopes to use Lancaster to interpret the delicate and mellowness of men when they look at love. Lancaster will give the characters a different kind of charm. UUReading This is what it looks like on the big screen. Something to watch

Ryan is the representative of American sweethearts. Her sweetness, playfulness and intelligence in the story can always give love a different kind of freshness. Perhaps what we are looking forward to is not another'Sally' but another Ryan. When the sweet Ryan meets the sunny Lancaster, such a love story is worth looking forward to only from a visual point of view, but Ephron has deprived of this beauty and built love on the inability to see each other's electricity.' Above the wave, perhaps, this incredible perspective is the highlight of the film's success, and it is also the reason why Ephron chose two actors.

Love itself is a miracle, bringing two strangers together; then why can't we expect'Night Sleep in Seattle' to tell us another miracle?"

After finishing the whole article, Nicholas "showed" a satisfied smile on his face, and once again saw the phrase "When Hugo meets love" in the title. Nicholas really liked his job too much, "Hugo" Lancaster, let me stand behind you and see with my own eyes where your entertainment career will go. I hope you don’t let me down."

After speaking, Nicholas quickly tore the paper from the typewriter, picked up his jacket, and rushed out quickly. The deadline for printing was approaching, and it was too late.
