Chapter 13 013 Difficulties

Nigel. Cawthorne, a well-known editor and writer who has worked for The New York Times and BBC Radio for many years, has written two volumes of "Hollywood Unspoken Rules (S.e.x.Lives.Of.The.Hollywood)" . Goddesses)", which revealed the absurd industry rules of the early days of the Hollywood film industry. Among these two books, almost the entire film industry before the 1970s was covered with money and money. Desolate. All the kinky inside.

Later, with the rise of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Actors Association of Television and Radio (AFTRA), the interests of actors have been increasingly protected, making Hollywood sexuality. Transactions are largely controlled. But the existence of unspoken rules is deeply ingrained, just like Hollywood's discrimination against women and homosexuals has always existed.

Nicole Kidman (Nicole. Kidman) because of starred in "Days. Of. Thunder" and fell in love with Tom Cruise, felt that he became famous overnight, and was reluctant to attend the private party of the studio owner, the result Abandoned by the "Ghost" crew, and finally fulfilled Demi. Moore (Demi. Moore); Julia - Roberts (Julia. Roberts) in the "Pretty. Woman (Pretty. Woman)" audition When the first sentence is to ask "who do I want to sleep with to get the protagonist"... These situations have always existed.

It's just that with the maturity of the trade union system, there is almost no coercion now. Basically, it's just what you want, because producers and directors have to take the risk of the failure of the work if they want to implement the rules, and they also have to take responsibility. Not everyone can sleep with them. For those low-level actors, it's just to accompany the producer or director. Bed, you can win the chance to become famous, and many people can't wait.

Therefore, this also makes the so-called unspoken rules further developed and become the explicit rules on the table.

Hugo Lancaster was born on November 20, 1967. He first appeared on the big screen in 1982 when he was fifteen years old. I have to say that he was very lucky. Ray - Levinson (Barry. Levinson's debut "Diner" (Diner) won a role, and young Mickey - Rourke, Kevin - Bacon (Kevin. Bacon) starred in five young One of them, Barry Levinson, was filming the Oscar-winning classic "Rain. Man" a few years later. It can be said that Hugo's career had a very good start.

Then Hugo Lancaster was spotted by International Innovation Management (ICM), one of Hollywood's three top brokerage companies, and he successfully signed a contract to become an artist under Ron Mayer. Under Lang's arrangement, Hugo starred in David Lynch's "Dune" in 1984 and several other works. Although it has not been a big hit, each work has Very solid, and gradually grew into a powerful actor who is very optimistic about the producer.

During an audition for Dead Poets Society, Hugo met producer Tracy Jacobs. Tracy is an outstanding producer who has risen in recent years. She has developed the "Die. Hard" series, in addition to the fifty-sixth Oscar for the best picture "Mother-Daughter Love". She can also be seen on the list of producers for "Trims. Of. Endearment" and "The. Color. Purple", which won eleven nominations at the 58th Academy Awards but returned empty-handed. figure.

"Dead Poets Society" was a work facilitated by Tracy. Director Peter Weir and actor Robin Williams all negotiated successfully with Tracy, and Hugo was interviewing for the film at the time. In the role of Neil Perry, his handsome and sunny appearance was favored by Tracy.

After that, things were very simple. To put it mildly, Hugo and Tracy became partners, so Hugo got the role and became famous in one fell swoop. To put it uglier, the unspoken rules were between Hugo and Tracy. I wish it happened, Hugo successfully appeared in the movie, attracting countless attention.

Subsequent "Deadly Hour" and "Hudson's Eagle" are the works of Tracy's producer, Hugo is undoubtedly the first actor, and Tracy even gave up his love, Bruce - Willis, it can be seen that she attaches great importance to Hugo. It's a pity that these two works were all ruined, and Hugo's actor's career, which had just improved, fell into a rock bottom due to the fiasco of three consecutive works, and fell into a dilemma. To make matters worse, Tracy and Hugo broke up after the release of "Hudson Eagles".

It was normal for couples to get together, separate and reunite, especially a relationship like Hugo and Tracy without much emotional basis, just like a sand castle. But the timing of the breakup this time was very sensitive, and as a result, the breakup between the two was very unpleasant.

In this case, the Golden Raspberry Award came. Joseph felt that Hugo did not need to attend the award ceremony, but Hugo chose to ask the opinion of his former agent Lang. In order to restore the negative impact of this series, Lang ——He is also the current partner of International Innovation Management Company——After careful consideration, he suggested that Hugo attend the 12th Golden Raspberry Awards, hoping to use this mockery feast to shape Hugo's broad-minded and humorous image. Thus paving the way for the work after Hugo. Although Joseph did not agree, he did not screw up Hugo's trust in Lang after all, so this happened yesterday.

This time, there was no Tracey in the list of producers of "Love in the River", but the chance to audition was decided by Tracey for Joseph before the breakup. Let's take a look at the list of interviewers: with special Elizabeth, who has a close relationship with Lacey, and Jon, who has many partners, if Tracey and Hugo are still together, then maybe everything will be fine, but unfortunately, the two broke up. Tracy accepted an invitation to join the cast at the last minute before the audition, making Hugo's audition a foregone conclusion before the interview began.

Before, Hugo had never read the script of "Love in the Big River" at all. The script was thrown under the bed and accumulated a thick layer of ash, which shows Hugo's attitude. However, after the incident of the Golden Raspberry Awards last night, Joseph hoped that Hugo would not give up easily, and tried to persuade Hugo to participate in today's audition without mentioning Tracy's participation. He agreed so readily and prepared for the interview so earnestly that Joseph was impressed.

Unfortunately, Hugo's efforts have not paid off.

The name "Tracy" awakened so many memories of Hugo, but it made Hugo gradually adapt to his current role. At this moment, he realized that the words and deeds of Elizabeth and Jon during the audition were explained, and the cynicism of Wood and Stone was probably also fueled by rumors in the circle.

But what is interesting is that none of the characters in these works in Hugo's memory were played by "himself". The most direct proof is "Dead Poets Society". In this work, the role of Neil was played by Robert Sean Leonard. (Robert. Sean. Leonard), Robert was later known for his role in the American drama "House. M. D". But now apparently history has changed slightly, and instead of Robert, Hugo Lancaster is playing Neil.

Hugo let out a long sigh, retracted his doubts, and carefully recalled the appearance of Tracy in his mind. She looked like she was in her early thirties, with long dark brown wavy hair simply draped over her shoulders, not a mature look. The lingering, straight nose and sharp lips reveal the sturdy side of her studio.

Hugo felt that this woman was very familiar. After he thought about it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, "The role of Paul belongs to Brad in the end, right?" This inference is not because of the "big river love" in his memory. Played by Brad Pitt, but because Hugo remembered, Tracy is the woman he saw with Brad on the fifth floor just now!

Joseph didn't know where Hugo's speculation came from, he only saw that Hugo was silent for a while, then suddenly burst out this sentence, he couldn't help coughing lightly, "The rumors in the circle are like this. "Josef doesn't need to say Hugo to know the latter words. There are rumors in the circle that Tracy and Brad are together.

Hugo raised his eyebrows, "There is also Tracy's name in the list of producers of 'The Endless Flower'?"

Joseph shook his head and denied Hugo's conjecture, but then said, "The screenwriter of 'The Endless Flower' Callie. Khouri and Tracy know each other." After speaking, Joseph Turning to look at Hugo, the eyes of the two met, and then they turned away with a big smile at the same time.

It seems that Brad's awareness of Hugo's competition is not limited to "big river love", no wonder Joseph said at the beginning that Brad regarded Hugo as his biggest competitor. Obviously everything is causal.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Hugo's blood last night was almost exhausted at this time. It seems that the situation he faced after crossing over was more troublesome than he imagined. Put aside the poison of this body. Not to mention addiction, Hugo has absolute confidence to overcome it. Besides, any addiction is actually derived from the spirit. Of course, the dependence of the body is there, but it is not as profound as the spirit. Now Hugo's soul does not have any Addiction, then overcome the body's anti-drug. Product dependence is not so difficult. But beyond that, Hugo's career as an actor wasn't that easy either.

In Hollywood, the production company's tolerance limit for actors is generally three works. In short, there are no more than three things. Now Hugo has smashed three films in a row, and has been nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award three times, not to mention the previous rain. If it is a "Dead Poets Society" that has won attention, even the Oscar winner will be embarrassed at this moment, not to mention that Hugo has not really contributed so far. Therefore, it is conceivable that the negative impact brought by the Golden Raspberry Award will continue for some time, and Hugo is definitely facing a lot of challenges.

In addition, although Hugo doesn't know how unpleasant it is to break up with Tracy, there is no doubt that Tracy is rejecting Hugo now, aside from "Love in the Big River", it is with Tracy's current boyfriend Brad's head-to-head competition led to the inevitable result of losing, and it is difficult to speculate whether Tracy will create more obstacles for Hugo's actor career in the future.

With so much trouble, Hugo's encouragement effect on him last night has almost been exhausted. He has no idea at this moment, just wants to go home, return to the familiar era of 2014, return to glory to death By the side of the band members, back to the midi rock music festival that has no international influence...

"Huh, Joseph, do you know any other female producers? It's better to be willing to implement the unspoken rules." Hugo stretched and said lazily, a sentence that almost didn't make Joseph sitting next to it squirt When I came out, I choked on my own saliva and coughed so badly.
