Chapter 1799： Role clapper

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." Hugo's voice came from a distance, with a hint of lightness, interrupting the conversation between Curtis and Charlize, and then Curtis looked up and saw the rain. As a result, there are Kevin Spacey and Brian Helgrand.

"It's all my fault. There was a problem with my car. Hugo was trying to help me, which led to the tardiness." Kevin took the initiative to raise his hands and took the fault to himself.

Curtis stood up, but felt a rush. He thought it was just a meeting with Hugo this morning. He didn't expect that he saw Charlize first, and then Kevin and Brian also appeared, which made the situation a little bit out of touch. track. But he couldn't question right away, he could only continue to follow Hugo's topic, "No, no, you are not late, I was there a while earlier."

In fact, it was already ten twenty.

Hugo sat down next to Charlize, Kevin sat side by side with Curtis across from Hugo, and finally Brian added a seat next to him, which was considered to be all seated. Curtis was going to ask what was going on, but he had to order food for three people first. Everyone asked each other what was delicious here, and the situation was very hot-but it was also chaotic, so Curtis couldn’t find it. It's time to chip in.

"So, what were you talking about just now?" Hugo asked casually after the order was finished. It sounded like a normal question in social situations.

"'Wild River', and then there are some interesting things on the set. Curtis just discussed with me some habits of Meryl Streep before the performance." Charlize still has that lightness on her face. She has a shallow smile, but she is less elegant and charming. Attitude and sex. Feeling, relatively more brisk, the temperament between the eyebrows has changed quietly, and it has obviously become more hearty.

Curtis was a little puzzled, why Charlize's temperament changed in such a short period of time. It was almost a visible change. It can even be said that there are very big differences between two people. Is it because Charlize was hooking just now. Lead him? After this idea came out, Curtis was shocked-because Charlize is now constantly filming, and he doesn't need the help of unspoken rules at all, but he has no time to think carefully, he can only deal with the situation in front of him. , "Yes, we talked about the interesting things in the filming process. Cooperating with different actors will always spark different sparks. This is also one of the fun in the filming process."

Hugo nodded in sympathy, "This is also one of the reasons why I think the profession of actor is so interesting. You can always meet different people, experience different things, and even experience different lives." After that, Hugo means. I took a long look at Charlize, and then at Curtis, "By the way, I specially troubled you to come out today, and it was still so early. I express my apologies and I am really sorry. The main reason is that The audition last night is not over. Barry mentioned that you were very anxious, so I think you should be very willing to see Charlize."

"Look at my memory. I had such a pleasant conversation with Mr. Hansen just now that I had forgotten about it." Charlize smiled heartily, but winked at Hugo secretly, and then looked at Ke. Ties, sincerely said, "I have read the script of'L.A. Confidential'. It is really wonderful. This is almost the most wonderful script I have seen after the'Seven Deadly Sins'. If it can become a movie That’s great."

Just now, Curtis was still looking for an opportunity to find out what was going on. Hugo didn't expect Hugo to take the initiative to mention it, which made Curtis stunned. But then, Curtis quickly reacted.

Curtis is certainly not an idiot. He has been in Hollywood for fifteen years. How could he be an idiot. The entire accidental encounter just now was all in one round, a well-arranged round! All for the heroine of "L.A. Confidential"! But... why? Why did Hugo make such a big turn just to convince himself? If Hugo overwhelms others, he actually has no way to oppose it. Why?

This is indeed a round, a small round set by Hugo.

Hugo believes that Charlize is the best candidate for the heroine of "L.A. Confidential", while Curtis tends to adopt Kim Basinger as the heroine. If the two of them cannot reach a consensus, then another producer, David-L-Wolper, will inevitably need to make a judgment. Who will David choose? Or in other words, who does the Warner Brothers represented by Barry Meyer choose?

In fact, the answer is obvious, it is definitely Kim Basinger. It's not because Barry doesn't like Charlize, on the contrary, Charlize's current influence and appeal in Hollywood can be said to be the leader of the younger generation, and her acting skills can definitely add to the film. However, Barry would still choose Jin for a simple reason and a balance of interests-Charlize is an artist under Endeavour's elite agency, while Jin is not.

Of course, if Hugo wants to argue with Barry again, he will return to the saw-saw state before signing the contract. Hugo will eventually win. As Curtis thought, Hugo wants to use his absolute strength to pressure, then even Barry will not continue to struggle. But in this way, problems are bound to breed.

On the one hand, it is the future cooperation between Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company and Warner Bros. Barry's goal of further expanding influence has not been achieved. Even if he does not tear his face, he will inevitably have a knot in his heart. When and how will this knot be? It affects the overall situation, no one knows; on the one hand, Charlize will become a "parachute" in people's eyes when Charlize enters the crew, especially Curtis will feel uncomfortable, and subsequent cooperation will have problems.

These doubts are what Rick and Joseph worry about, and this is what Hugo needs to worry about as a producer. Different positions naturally have different ways of thinking about problems, and the responsibilities they assume will also lead to different styles of behavior.

But if Curtis also agrees to use Charlize as the heroine, he and Hugo reach a consensus, and the two helms of the crew agree, then the follow-up troubles can be omitted. Even Barry will not make any extra effort to recommend other actresses.

Therefore, Hugo arranged such a game. Let Curtis personally contact Charlize without being preconceived, and conduct auditions. In fact, everything Charlize just now was a performance, performing according to Lynn's feeling. Although Charlize has not read the script carefully, the carving is still a bit rough, but the basic overall style is not wrong.

Obviously, the audition just now was a success. Without realizing it, Curtis himself was given the initiative by Charlize, which is exactly the charm of Lynn. To put it simply, speak with strength and convince Curtis.

Curtis felt that his head wasn't enough, but in fact he couldn't think so far. He had to deal with the situation first. Deep down, the balance of Curtis’s heroine has been infinitely biased towards gold, but now Curtis is still thinking about how to make Hugo nod and agree-Hugo’s temporary departure last night caused Curtis. A lot of trouble, I didn't expect that, now Hugo is the first to make a move, he must concentrate on it.

"Of course, of course, I missed Miss Theron last night. I also feel very sorry." Curtis tried his best to get himself back on track as soon as possible. His over half a hundred years of social experience calmed him down, but it was not enough. He has a clear idea-there is no way, in front of Hugo, his bargaining chips were not much, and today he lost the opportunity. "Regarding the role audition this time, we hope to put the initiative in the hands of the actors." Curtis said, while looking at Hugo, Kevin and others. After they did not refute, Curty Si then continued, "So, you can have a short performance. We don't have any requirements. It's up to you."

Curtis showed a big smile and winked at Charlize, trying to make the atmosphere lighter.

Indeed, this time the actor audition is left to the actor to play freely, but there are many details in it. Take Heath Ledger’s audition, for example. He found the most suitable breaking point from just a few clues. So in less than five minutes of audition, he got the role without the help of any agent. . For example, last night's Kim Basinger, when she appeared at the audition party scene, she wins snow in white, with red lips like fire, almost sweeping the audience like a ball of flames, even Nicole Kee's aura of beauty. Deman and Cameron Diaz are slightly inferior Ha ha, Curtis, isn't Charlize's current performance the best audition performance? "It was Kevin Spacey who was speaking. Curtis was stunned by his words, but Kevin looked at Charlize, "If I didn't guess wrong, so far, Miss Theron has been The state of the performance, right? Sure enough, no matter how wonderful the rumors are, they are not as good as seeing them in person. I'm already looking forward to Lynn, played by Miss Theron. "

Kevin's words made Charlize chuckle, neither acknowledging nor denying that the smile was magnificent. Kevin glanced at Hugo with a hint of teasing in his eyes, then turned to look at Curtis, "You have talked for so long just now, and it should feel deeper than me. How do you feel?"

Curtis recalled the whole process carefully, and everything became clear. In fact, before he knew it, he had entered Charlize's rhythm control. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Charlize's performance skills are still impressive, and this is also an ability that Jin does not possess. What's more, in terms of external conditions, Charlize is not inferior to Jin.

Curtis knew that Charlize was indeed more suitable for Lynn's role. Looking up at Hugo in front of him, Curtis's tongue was bitter, but then a smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head to look at Kevin, "Excellent! Absolutely excellent! No doubt."
