Roland is a director. Although he is not very experienced, he has indeed met many actors. In this world of fame and fortune, the most is handsome men and beautiful women. His natural advantages in appearance can often become the stepping stone in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, Roland is quite immune to appearance. Many people are really good-looking, and their appearance is indeed very outstanding, and they are even perfect. However, many of them are just a mask and an empty shell. Their eyes, conversation and temperament cannot show the charm and background that match their appearance. They often only make people sigh that "the appearance is really good", but they cannot leave any impression after that. There are countless such people in the entertainment industry.

This was the first time Roland saw Hugo with his own eyes. He had just walked into the theater and had at least more than one hundred people in his sight, but he saw Hugo at first sight, traveling through the bustling crowd, Hugo sat there quietly, with a bright smile on his face, and his eyes were seriously looking at Leonardo dancing in front of him, listening carefully to the story told by Leonardo. Through a long distance, Roland could even see the light flashing in Hugo's eyes, and he easily grabbed his gaze, making him unable to move away.

How is Hugo's appearance? The outside world is full of ceilings. At least Roland is too far away and can't see clearly. He can't even see clearly what Hugo's eyes, nose, and mouth are, but his gaze is firmly locked on Hugo.

It's just because Hugo has a temperament, which is something that has been crafted through the years, knowledge precipitation, and time polishing. But that temperament easily makes everyone else in the audience look down on it. Even the handsome and sunny Leonardo, even the bright and dazzling Cameron, even the bright and dazzling lights of the theater above his head.

Roland was stunned in place, and he suddenly understood what the surging outside the field was for.

"Roland, you are here." A voice broke Roland's hesitation and dullness. He turned his head, but only saw a blurred dim halo. It seemed that the focus had not been withdrawn from Hugo. He blinked and adjusted the focal length, and then he realized who the person in front of him was, "Hey, Sergio." Sergio Mimika Gozan, his deputy director.

"Huh, you're late." Sergio had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. "We don't have time to greet you now. This is the case. The crowds outside are too exaggerated. Our plan must be changed. Each group of fifteen children, who see those who are interested, shout out to talk. If there is no, they will directly next group..."

"Wait, wait..." Sergio's quick speech rhythm made Roland's slightly slow brain unable to react. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again, "You mean, each group of fifteen children, then speed up, and no more in-depth auditions." They were originally thinking about five children in each group, one after another, but now it is obviously impossible.

"Yes, after choosing a satisfactory one, you can have a second audition." Sergio summed up briefly and neatly. Roland nodded to express his understanding, "Also, Hugo will not participate in the whole process. He will leave for at most half an hour..."

"It's okay, casting is not his job." If possible, the director's least wants the actor to participate in casting work, because it is interfering with the crew work, so Roland smiled and nodded.

"No, you don't understand what I mean," Sergio added. "I mean, it's better to go faster in this half hour. You know, a lot of people want to see Hugo and want Hugo to be in their audition."

Roland then realized that he forgot that Hugo appeared today was asked by Kevin Pence because this was one of the early publicity links of "Doomsday", otherwise Hugo would have no intention of participating in the casting at all. "Sorry, I forgot, what are you waiting for? You can notify the interviewers outside to come in and I went over to say hello to the actors."

Sergio made a "ok" gesture, and then walked quickly outside. Roland adjusted his breathing again and walked towards the direction where the actors gathered.

Due to the importance of the "apocalypse" by the Fenjin Elite Agency this time, it can be said that all the elites in the company have been produced, and almost every actor has a representative work. Today, not only Hugo, the biggest brand, attended, but all other actors also came to support him. No wonder the number of reporters outside is so amazing. I believe that after today, everyone will know that the "apocalypse" crew will be officially launched, just waiting for the children to choose the actors. The strong cast of all members of the audience also made the scene star-studded.

"Good morning, Mr. Lancaster." Roland was not at all the prestige of the director at this time. Instead, he greeted Hugo politely with a warm smile.

Hugo was originally listening to Leonardo's story like everyone else. When he heard Roland's words, he quickly stood up and patted Leonardo's arm gently, causing the young man to jump off the chair. Hugo took the lead in stretching out his right hand, "Is the German etiquette accustomed to calling surnames? I hope I did not rude when I greeted the Germans before."

Hugo's words made Roland stunned, then laughed, and grabbed Hugo's right hand, "I'm glad to know you, Hugo."

"Roland, you're late. I think the kids outside are waiting anxiously." Hugo chuckled and teased, but there were stars in his amber eyes, bursting with friendly messages.

Just after just one meeting, Roland was infected by Hugo. He could deeply feel Hugo's friendliness, which was completely different from Roland's previous guess, but also made Roland breathe a sigh of relief. Although Roland was not sure, Hugo's politeness was only out of politeness and superficial skill. After all, Rick Rosen's step-by-step attitude still made Roland feel scared, and it was Hugo's real personality, but this first meeting at least allowed Roland to relax.

Compared to the tension in the cooperation negotiation stage, after the cooperation was truly reached, Roland's tense nerves relaxed. He originally thought that the entire cooperation process would be extremely difficult, but today's first meeting was a good start, which added a lot of confidence to Roland.

After simply saying hello to others around him, Roland was hesitating about where he should sit down, Leonardo stood aside and gave up his position, allowing Roland and Hugo to sit together. He said with a smile, "Since today is work, we must naturally let the director and the male lead sit together."

At this time, Cameron, who was sitting on the other side of Hugo, was stunned for a while, and only then did he react when Roland sat down and quickly stood up, "Sorry, I...I forgot...Sandra..." In "The Doomsday", Cameron only played a guest role in a friendly role and did not play the heroine. Sandra Brock got the role of Jia Siming.

Sandra, who was sitting behind, then stood up and patted Cameron on the shoulder, "Don't mind, I will borrow Hugo for a long time during the filming next time, so now I allow you to possess Hugo for a while." Sandra's expression of "I am Hugo's master" made everyone next to her burst into laughter. Even Hugo couldn't help but feel embarrassed and glanced at Sandra depressedly.

Cameron couldn't help laughing, but she still looked at Hugo, as if asking about Hugo's meaning. Hugo chuckled. In fact, Leonardo was just joking just now, and the main thing was to give Roland and Hugo a time to spend together. After all, this was the first time meeting between the two, and it was also the only opportunity for the two to communicate before the filming of the movie officially started. As for the others, it didn't matter.

After getting Hugo's affirmative look, Cameron sat down and the fun around him gradually settled down.

"Do you have any ideas about the choice of a child's actor today?" Roland asked out of politeness. As he thought before, it is better for an actor not to participate in the director's work, but Hugo's position is so special, so he still has to communicate.

Hugo turned his head and shook his shoulders gently, "It depends on you." This made Roland look puzzled. Hugo had to explain, "It depends on how you set this character, and how you set this character of Steve. Are you willing to spend some pens to shape Steve's family side?"

Hugo's meaning is very simple. If Roland does not intend to spend too much time on this role, then it is actually just a symbol. Today's so-called audition is more of a part of the business operation of the 20th Century Fox. In the end, choosing a child who is in line with his or her personal relationship, or choosing a young actor with performance experience based on his or her relationships. This does not have much impact.

But if Roland intends to use this role, he sets that Steve has a child, which is obviously not written casually. It is bound to show Steve's warm side, and communication between father and son will also become an important supplement to the character. Many times, there is no need for too many pictures. Just a few face-to-face conversations, or the eyes and small movements of the father playing with his son, can be shaped by relying on these details. This is enough for commercial movies.

Following the second way of thinking, the young actor must have some spirituality, and see what Roland wants him to show: whether he is well-behaved or rebellious, whether he is eccentric or following the rules, and what is the commonality between him and his father. Then this means that choosing actors is not so careless.

Hugo's words were very simple, but Roland savored something. He was not a director who had a profound study on character creation, but he could feel that Hugo did have his own ideas. Roland had thought Rick was just talking casually, and Hugo's requirements for the script were just one of the means to be a big shot, but today it seems that this is not the case.
