James Cameron's voice seemed a little tired, and Hugo couldn't help but be stunned. He rubbed his temples to wake him up. At the same time, he walked out of the RV and came outside to avoid disturbing the teammates who had been sleeping unconscious. "Hey, James, I didn't expect the call to come."

Hugo's voice was a little light, but James didn't buy it. His rough voice cut off Hugo's tail sound and quickly said, "I heard you rejected the 'Titanic', is this true?"

"This..." Hugo's head was full of question marks, because James' voice not only sounded unhappy, but also had some anger, which made Hugo puzzled. He chuckled, "James, I already have this result you want."

Since James had no polite plans and Hugo had no plans to hide his hiding plan, he directly refuted the past with a sarcastic tone. As a result, James sneered, and the sneering sound showed his indifferentness, "So, do you think my script is not outstanding enough?"

Hugo frowned slightly, "Script?" Hugo still didn't understand what James meant, but he still expressed his opinion, "No, on the contrary, I think this is a very excellent script. Although it is a little weak in outlining the emotional main line, it is enough for the magnificent framework of the entire movie. It will appear trivial and sluggish in everything, so overall, I think this is a wonderful story."

Hugo's praise for the script still did not calm James's emotions down, "Then why did you refuse?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Hugo's mind: Was James angry because of his "rejection"? To be precise, it was because James allowed him to refuse Hugo, but did not allow Hugo to refuse him. This was James' confidence and his pride. Especially when Hugo repeatedly emphasized that he needed to read the script and made a decision. Now Hugo has given the script high affirmation, but still chose to refuse. This is undoubtedly a contempt for James.

If this is true, Hugo would have laughed in silence. Although he had long experienced James' self-centeredness, today is the real feeling of facing him.

"Because I'm not the best choice in your mind." Hugo said it directly, but the truth made James angry, "How can you be sure of my thoughts? You are not me!"

Facing James' anger, Hugo didn't care at all, "James, if you want me to play, Rick can still change his mind now. I believe Kevin and Shirley will be happy to hear this news."

Hugo's words made James choke. This sense of humiliation made James so angry that his hands were trembling slightly. Since the "Terminator" achieved a brilliant success, James has not been challenged like this for a long time. Even if someone has a dispute with him, he will definitely not be an actor.

But Hugo would not compromise because of James' success and prestige. James really disliked this feeling of frustration and even hated him. But James is not a fool, never, but he was used to being strong in front of actors, so he forgot that his opponent was Hugo, the actor with the most say in Hollywood at present. This is also the reason why James doesn't like Hugo. If Hugo becomes a member of the "Titanic", this is an absolutely unacceptable result for James.

"I don't think Leonardo DiCaprio is a suitable actor." When the anger reached its peak, James controlled his emotions and returned to his calmness. In particular, he realized that he had lost his composure in front of Hugo just now, which made James more stable at this time.

Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. He really didn't expect that James would be so petty, and because of his own rejection, even Leonardo would refuse together.

However, in Hugo's memory, there are two candidates for "Titanic" actors in history, one is Matthew McConaughey, the other is Leonardo. The former is what the 20th Century Fox hopes to use, and the latter is what James insists on. The final result is clear. James successfully convinced 20th Century Fox and made Leonardo. As for Matthew... he became a vase actor, and more than ten years later, he made a comeback and surpassed Leonardo and took the lead in winning the Oscar-winning actor Little Golden Man.

Life's encounters are always so interesting.

However, James has changed his mind because of Hugo. The trajectory of history is indeed irresistible.

"James, if you miss an excellent actor because you don't like me, the ultimate loss is 'Titanic', not me." Hugo did not try to convince James in a tempting manner, but pointed out the key point in the face of James' personality, if he suddenly softened his attitude, things may not be easy to solve. "Just as I said just now, I like the script 'Titanic' very much. Sincerity, I recommend Leo not because he is my friend, but because he is indeed the most suitable candidate. Of course, if Leo misses this script, there will always be the next script; but if "Titanic" misses Leo, he may not be able to find a more perfect candidate."

Hugo's toughness made James grit his teeth again, but he had to admit that Hugo actually hit the most important part of his heart: he was optimistic about Leonardo.

From the beginning, James didn't want Hugo to take on the script "Titanic", but the persistence of Kevin Pence and Shirley Lansing made James unable to resist. In private, James personally believes that Leonardo will be the perfect candidate for the role of Jack, whether in appearance, temperament, or acting skills.

However, James also knew that Leonardo had always refused commercial movies very much. He had secretly tested Rick and knew that Leonardo did not consider commercial movies at all. The only time he starred in "Life and Death Hour" was because Hugo was Hugo again. This made James grit his teeth, but he could do nothing.

"But you forgot one thing, it's just your idea, not his idea. What's more, there are so many outstanding actors in Hollywood, and I will never lack choice. Matthew McConaughey is a very good choice." James calmed down all his emotions and spoke quietly.

Hugo chuckled, "You are the director, you have the final say." Hugo gave James a step at the right time. He knew that he had forced James hard. I guess even Kevin and Shirley couldn't find a solution. "But I can guarantee that Leo does not reject the script of "Titanic."

Hugo didn't say anything to death, leaving James with plenty of room for his work. This really made James feel relieved a lot. He first tightened and then loosened. Unconsciously, James' mentality changed. "Hmph, you don't need to direct my work. Since you refuse to star in my work, that's the best thing, and it saves me a lot of cumbersome work."

After saying something on his own, James hung up the phone. Listening to the busy voice coming from the phone, Hugo smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was destined to be impossible for him to play "Avatar".

Standing there, stretched, finally confirmed the matter of "Titanic". Hugo felt relieved. Hugo didn't plan to be busy with movies in the near future. He needed to focus on music for a while and enjoy the happiness brought by music. Unlike movies, in the world of music, Hugo insisted on himself, the most real and essential self.

Whether it is Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, or Paramount, it has nothing to do with Hugo for the time being.

But before he could stretch his body, the cell phone in his hand rang again, which made Hugo frown. When did his cell phone become a hotline? Despite thinking so, Hugo still answered the phone, "Hello, this is Hugo."

"Hey, Hugo, this is Kevin." It turned out to be Kevin Pence, "So, where are you now? There is not much news about you recently, and I almost thought you had disappeared." Unlike James, Kevin started with a joke as soon as he came up.

"Didn't you catch me now?" Hugo also said half-jokingly, "So, call me at this time and ask me to guess, 'Titanic'?" Hugo didn't want to go around in circles and took the initiative to raise this topic.

When Kevin heard Hugo's tone, he sighed softly, "So, there is really no hope?" As the big guy who deals with Hugo the most and most frequently among the eight major film companies, Kevin knows Hugo very well. Since Hugo took the initiative to mention this matter, it is basically a foregone conclusion.

"Kevin, believe me, Leo will be a better choice, I'm not omnipotent." Hugo's tone seemed relaxed, and the burden on his entire shoulder was lifted.

Kevin originally planned to persuade Hugo, but after taking a closer look, Kevin knew that Hugo's words were correct. For James, Hugo, and "Titanic", it was the wisest to choose Leonardo. It was this clear that Kevin directly sighed. He planned for so long, but in fact he hoped that Hugo could insure the "Titanic", but the result was still not satisfactory. However, Hugo had already starred in "Independence Day", so he could not be too greedy, right?

"Okay, I believe your judgment." Kevin also said in a relaxed tone, "But I have a requirement that you must play a guest role, even if you support Leo."

"Come-star?" Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly. This time he did not hesitate for too long and readily agreed, "No problem, I'll wait any time."
