Hugo raised his eyes from the script in front of him. The dense English letters on the script made Hugo feel a little troubled, which reminded Hugo of the miserable years of doing English reading comprehension in junior high school. However, it was better than his study period: he is now a native English speaker. Although his memory still only merges part of it, there was no problem with listening, speaking, reading and writing in English.
However, whenever he reads a script for a period of time, Hugo will find it amazing. Even if he has experienced such incredible things in person, he still feels incredible.
The news that the "Dahe Love" failed audition was indeed confirmed the next day. Even though the media's main focus was on the 49th Golden Globes, many media still reported that the male lead of "Dahe Love" was finally selected by Brad Pitt for no reason: because the new Golden Raspberry Awards worst male lead Hugo Lancaster was not selected. This made Hugo quite amused and cry.
Although he failed the interview, Hugo was not depressed for too long. He realized that perhaps this time travel was really his opportunity. If he gave up just by failing, it was definitely not his style. What's more, as long as he recalled the happiness and happiness immersed in the performance during the "Dahe Love" audition, Hugo was unwilling to give up. This was the moment he had always dreamed of before the time travel, so how could he be willing to miss it? This is the decisive factor for Hugo to cheer up again!
Joseph said before that there were still many auditions waiting for Hugo, which was obviously a scam. Although Hugo's current situation in Hollywood is not unfamiliar, producers must be more cautious if they want to enable Hugo, which is beyond doubt. And Joseph also knew that after three consecutive works failed, Hugo's next work must be carefully selected. If it fails again, Hugo's acting career may come to an end for the time being.
So, after the "Big River Love" audition, Joseph became busy and kept trying to find a suitable audition opportunity for Hugo. Unfortunately, without the help of Lang Meyer and Tracy Jacobs, Joseph's strength was indeed limited, so the opportunity would naturally not be so easy to find. Fortunately, this also gave Hugo a buffering opportunity to adapt to local life in Los Angeles.
Joseph is indeed a very capable agent. Although he is a newcomer, he is very good at both his wrists and his mind. He did not let Hugo wait too long and got a very outstanding audition. Under the current situation, this is very difficult, and when Hugo saw the script Joseph brought to him, he was surprised, which is even more rare.
This time, the script brought by Joseph is the small-cost work "Scent. Of.A.Woman" produced by Universal Pictures, which currently ranks one of the eight largest film companies, with a budget of $10 million.
The movie "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women" is a remake from the 1974 classic Italian film "Woman's Fragrance". The movie tells the story of a student from a preparatory school who serves as an assistant to a irritable and blind retired officer. The original movie focuses more on the past life of the male protagonist Lieutenant Colonel Sred, but the remake focuses more on the relationship between characters.
Bo. Goldman, the screenwriter of the classic movie "One.Flew.Over.The.Cuckoo’s.Nest", put the adapted story perspective on a young student, and through the changes in the relationship between the student and the lieutenant colonel, he revealed the true meaning of the story step by step.
"Smelling the fragrance to recognize women" who is still in the filming stage actually attracted a lot of attention because the producer found the famous Al Pacino to play the male lead Lieutenant Colonel Sred.
After Al Pacino became an actor, his third work was "The Godfather", which has always been known as one of the best films in history. In this work, he did not lose the least in the opposite scene with Marlon Brando, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. After that, Al Pacino relied on "Serpico", "Godfather 2", and "Dog.Day.Afternoon" respectively, and he also relied on his explosive performance to become one of the best actors in film history. He was tied with Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro, and Jack Nicholson to be known as the four genius actors in the 1970s.
After entering the 1990s, although "Dick.Tracy" once again brought Al Pacino the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, the "Godfather 3"'s dog-tail sequel still disappointed many people. It's not that "Godfather 3" is really that bad, but in the face of the glory of the first two parts of the series, the third part is indeed hard to match.
Before this, Al Pacino had been retiring for four years because of the "Revolution" investment of 28 million US dollars, which only earned less than one million US dollars in box office. After his comeback in 1989, the success of "Sea. Of.Love" and "Supreme Detective" still did not allow Al Pacino to return to his true peak. Now he is facing the criticism of "Godfather 3". Al Pacino's reputation is indeed not as good as ten years ago.
Therefore, the response caused by Al Pacino's role as Lieutenant Colonel Sred in "Smelling the Flavor and Knowing Women" in the news media was very limited, and people still have a conservative view on Al Pacino's revitalization. Universal Pictures only set a budget of 10 million US dollars, which also shows their cautious attitude.
But even so, the collaboration between Al Pacino and Bo Goodman, coupled with Martin Brest, who filmed "Midnight.Run", is still worth looking forward to. Especially for the actors, if they can play the role of Charlie, a middle-aged student in the movie, and play against Al Pacino, it is definitely a rare opportunity.
The role of Charlie requires a humble and polite and gentle student temperament at the age of 20 to 25. This is undoubtedly attractive to young actors. Hugo did not expect that Joseph actually received an audition for the movie "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women" for him, which was a huge surprise.
Although the press is more conservative now and Universal Pictures is also cautious, Hugo, the soul who has traveled through time, clearly knows what a precious opportunity to "smell the fragrance and recognize women".
What is most commendable for "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" was naturally Al Pacino's wonderful performance, which made Al Pacino finally win the Oscar winner Little Golden Man after returning for six consecutive times. The movie itself also won nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc. at the Oscar, which has been praised continuously. More importantly, the box office results of this movie are also very good, and it is definitely a rare classic work.
In "Smelling the Scent of a Woman", although Charlie is just a supporting role, his role is not weak. It can even be said that he is almost inseparable from Lieutenant Colonel Sred. It is just that the core of the narrative is in the Lieutenant Colonel, which makes the protagonist and the supporting role separate the primary and secondary. The difficulty of the role of Charlie is naturally not as difficult as Lieutenant Colonel Sred, but the character's inner struggles and changes also have a lot of room for play.
If he can play "Smelling a Fragrance and Knowing a Woman", this will not only be a breakthrough in Hugo's career, but the most important thing is that he can also act opposite Al. Learn more from this great actor. The attractiveness of this movie is enough to make Hugo start to feel excited.
When Hugo got the script of "Smelling the Scent of a Woman" from Joseph, he was almost so excited that he almost showed his sank in front of Joseph. At this moment, he felt so deeply what a rare opportunity this time travel was. Not only did he travel through time, but he also brought together knowledge, vision, experience, etc. until 2014. This means that the "opportunities" and "luck" that are rarely encountered for other actors can be easily realized in Hugo.
What Hugo has to do is not to wait for the pie to fall from the sky to hit him, but to aim at the opportunity that suits him and try his best to seize it. Now for Hugo, opportunity is no longer a problem. His talent, his sweat, his persistence is the key to success.
After receiving the script, Hugo began to prepare for the audition of "Smelling the Scent of a Woman". Joseph had already done his job as an agent, and he was still tirelessly seeking more auditions, so it depends on Hugo's efforts.
There is a Starbucks at the intersection of Santa.Monica.Boulevard, about ten minutes away from Joseph's house, located in the shade of the tree-lined avenue. Hugo walks to the door of this Starbucks every day to read the script.
The two bachelors' homes were a mess, and the environment in Joseph's house was really not good, so Hugo simply went to the open-air seats outside Starbucks to read the script in a spacious and relaxing space, and also allowed to bask in the sun and relax. This is indeed a good choice.
Today, Hugo came to Starbucks early as planned and occupied a two-person seat outside, and then started reading the script. This time, compared to the hasty rush of "Dahe Love", there was enough time for Hugo to prepare, so he hoped to read the script carefully, not to appreciate it as an audience like he did when he watched the movie, but to truly experience the connection between the plot, lines, and characters from the perspective of the actor.
Hugo hopes to take over the role of Charlie, and his wish is unprecedentedly strong, so he will definitely give his all!
After being tired of reading the script, Hugo stretched his waist and stretched his stiff back. From the bottom of his eyes, he saw a young man wearing sunglasses next to the street chasing a young girl. The girl's expression was very impatient when she was shaking her hands and refused, but the young man was unwilling to give up and chased her closely.
