Chapter 1137 1137 Fateful opponent
Brad Pitt, the newly-resurfaced actor, relied on his outstanding performance of "night visits to vampires" and "Lovely Years", almost rose to the front line in just three months. Of course, this is the so-called "front line" that has no time to settle, just like the situation when Hugo won countless attention by relying on "smelling fragrance and knowing women" and "Yihai Xiongfeng".
The media always likes to compare Brad, Tom and Hugo together, mainly because they have too many similarities, such as their close age, their equally outstanding appearance, their strong audience connection, and their trend of choosing works... This makes every competition between them full of topics.
However, although the media had discussed Hugo and Brad together before, what really made this competitive topic explode with heated up was the showdown between "pulp novels" and "night visits to vampires". Since then, the "Yuliang complex" between the three actors has made the audience happy to discuss it.
But for Hugo and Brad, things were a little special. Because of Tracy Jacobs, but not just because of Tracy Jacobs. Before the two of them realized it themselves, they were already standing opposite, and then things came one after another, many unexpected situations occurred, the two of them were pushed actively or passively, step by step to a completely opposite position, becoming destined opponents.
Martin Baum, the top agent in Hollywood, can be said that he has planned a superstar path for Brad with his own strength. This time, whether he chose the "Seven Deadly Sins" or the "Seven Deadly Sins" he chose, he can see from his initiative: he knew that this was an important opportunity. So he took action decisively!
Martin was accompanying David Cronenberg with Brad at this time and was talking to him. Cronenberg, who was the most desirable director candidate for the New Line Film Company, but he refused the New Line. So, David still appeared at the private dinner today, why?
No matter what David's purpose is, Martin's goal is very clear: Obviously, David's willingness to attend tonight's dinner means that he still has a huge influence on the new film company, whether it is the influence of casting or the influence of choosing a new director. Dealing with David will give Martin the lead.
It was not just Martin who thought so at this time. In fact, Rick had just chatted with David for a few simple words. It can be seen that Rick had the same idea. However, Rick was talking to screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker. As an unknown screenwriter, Andrew obviously had no influence on the new line, and his opinions could not be correct, so he was ignored by everyone. But Rick obviously had different ideas.
Brad's eyes also came to the air, and he had a contact with Hugo and Tom. It was not easy for him to ignore these two people, because almost everyone in the hall would pay more or less attention to Hugo and Tom's recent "Mission Impossible" casting time circle. Everyone was curious about what would happen when Hugo and Tom met.
It is estimated that there is no need to wait until tomorrow, and news that Hugo and Tom are having a good chat and there is no barrier in the circle tonight.
However, Brad didn't have too many expressions. He just glanced at Hugo with the corner of his eyes, then pointed his chin at Tom, and directly retracted his gaze. But just such an action can clearly feel Brad's body's high fighting spirit and strong confidence, and the provocation emitted from the depths of his soul, could hardly be concealed. Obviously, this time, he longed to win the duel with Hugo! Or go further, this time, he had absolute confidence in defeating Hugo!
After witnessing Tracy's failure with his own eyes, Brad's mood was very complicated. He couldn't tell whether it was sadness, fear, anger, sympathy, disdain, rejection or something. He didn't even know how to define Tracy's relationship with him, but he was very clear: he and Hugo were not friends, nor could they be friends, they were opponents, enemies, and old enemies! If he wanted to defeat Hugo, he must defeat Hugo!
After saying goodbye to the heaven of affection", he had been dormant for almost a year and had been devoted to his work. Only he himself understood the hardships, bitterness and pains of this year, and only he himself suffered. Because after experiencing Tracy's lesson, Brad clearly knew that in the face of absolute strength, all means were useless. In Hollywood, the so-called absolute strength is the success or failure of the work. Even Jews who were rich enough to compete with the country, they could not resist the law of interests. This is the essential rule.
Now, he finally gained the ability to compete with Hugo, so he will not give in anymore. He will prove himself, he will succeed, and he will use his strength to decide the victory and defeat with Hugo head-on! The "Seven Deadly Sins", this is the first beginning.
Brad glanced at Hugo with contempt and swept over Tom in seclusion.
Maybe not now, but one day, the media will pay attention to the casting process of "Mission Impossible" will appear on him. The media will sigh in surprise that Hugo competes with him for a role, or Tom is having a role showdown with him, and the overwhelming news revolves around him. At that time, not just casting, but also the situation of being suppressed by "vampire novels" during the release of "night visits to vampires" and "Love Years", he will return it to Hugo in a profit and let Hugo taste the taste of being ridiculed by people. It is not now, but it will always come!
"I chose me... and..." Tom paused, and he and Hugo both saw Brad and Martin. They nodded to each other as saying hello. When Hugo turned his head again, Tom continued, "Of course, you are one of them. This is also the reason why you appeared here." Tom chuckled.
Hugo pulled the corner of his mouth and didn't say anything. Brad's eyes just now made him feel very interesting. In fact, he and Brad didn't have any personal grudges, but the aura of the two was born wrong. This was the case since the first meeting of "Dahe Love". It was like someone who hit it off at first meeting and was destined to be friends; Hugo and Brad seemed to have the smell of gunpowder when they first met. Although they didn't talk much, they could even count it with both hands, but every time they met, it meant competition.
Hugo suddenly remembered that he and Brad had sat together for the audition of "Yihai Xiongfeng". It seemed that the only time he remembered that two people sat at the same table. And this time, the two of them appeared in the same space again, but for the audition of "Seven Deadly Sins". This is really an interesting thing.
"It seems that he regards you as his biggest competitor." Tom certainly heard rumors in the circle, but he did not mention that this is the friendship of a friend, and it is also the line between a "good friend" and a "first friend". Tom has always grasped this kind of measure very well.
Hugo curled his lips, "Competition will always exist, isn't it?" The implication is that Hugo will not regard Brad as a specific opponent. Apart from Brad, there are other actors competing tonight. Hugo is not so arrogant and believes that the final candidate must be between him and Brad. Of course, Hugo clearly knows in his mind what the historical trajectory is.
Tom nodded with a smile, then raised the champagne in his hand, "I hope you can win." Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him. Tom showed a proud smile, "In this way, your schedule will be difficult to arrange, and my victory will be more stable." The topic revolves around "Mission Impossible".
Hugo laughed in silence, "I thought you were expecting a positive outcome."
"Of course." Tom shrugged, "but I don't mind some external help, after all, we're all in Hollywood, aren't we?"
Hugo's eyes saw a figure hiding in the corner. He hesitated for a moment and apologized to Tom, "I saw a friend I wanted to meet, and I went over and said hello."
"Please." Tom made way, "I think I should go and say hello to Cronenberg. Since I'm here, at least I have to be polite." This made Hugo chuckle again.
Hugo watched Tom walk towards David Cronenberg, and sure enough, he saw Brad's expression becoming nervous, but Martin smiled enthusiastically. From this detail, it can be seen that Brad is still not experienced enough, but he is too mature than before.
People will indeed grow.
Hugo retracted his gaze, walked towards the corner of the hall, and said with a smile, "Good evening, you are David Finch?" Hugo's tone was indeed full of doubts, because he had face blindness again. He was not sure that the middle-aged man in front of him who had a clean face and no stubble at all was David Finch, which was far from his impression of the image of a bearded slag.
The person in front of him did not answer immediately. His eyes fell in the distance. Hugo turned his head along his sight and looked over. It was Brad Pitt. Hugo couldn't help but sigh. He remembered that David Finch and Brad had a very good relationship. The two collaborated on many works, from "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fighting Club" to "The Strange Incident of Benjamin Button".
But when Hugo was thinking about how to speak, he noticed that the man suspected of David Finch in front of him suddenly changed. Hugo looked back and looked carefully, and then he realized that the man was not looking at Brad, but a woman coming from the side: Gwyneth Paltrow.
