Chapter 1827 1827 Soldier Project

Hugo sat on the beach chair at the door of his RV and rubbed his cheeks with a hot egg, trying to make the blood stasis spread as soon as possible. Suddenly, he felt the sun was blocked. When he looked up, he saw Charlize's figure, "So, you are still so dedicated, which makes the other actors in the crew have no way to survive. Everyone hates you behind your back and they are so angry that they hate you."

Indeed, Hugo is now at the top of the entire Hollywood pyramid, but he is still so dedicated and hardworking. This is a good thing for the crew, but it is a huge pressure for other actors. Even if they try their best, they may not be comparable to Hugo, but they will still be disliked by other crew members for not working hard enough.

Hugo's smile at the corner of his mouth was outlined, "I think it's necessary to be an annoying person occasionally. Give them a reason to hate me and make them feel at ease. This is great."

This explanation was beyond Charlize's expectations. In fact, no matter how Hugo does it, Hugo is the most special in others' eyes. If Hugo doesn't work hard, they will think that Hugo has reached its peak now and can win everything without hard work. If Hugo works properly, they will think that Hugo is despising other actors' performances and can easily control the situation without exerting force; if Hugo works hard too much, they will think that Hugo will not give other actors a way out.

This is the consequence that Hugo must bear, and this is the reason why it is too cold to be high.

So, Hugo just insisted on himself. He knew that he could not please everyone, and he knew that it was impossible to shut up everyone. The wisest way was to be consistent: what was before and what is now.

Charlize was amused by Hugo's calmness. She sat down beside Hugo, looking at the amber eyes seriously, as if trying to see everything abnormally in that eye. Time paused for a moment, and the atmosphere seemed a little weird, which made Charlize burst into laughter, "So you definitely won't mind, I'm talking bad things about you with other actors behind my back?"

Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I have reached this level now?" Hugo laughed after he said that, "When filming, most actors liked to gather together and say bad things about the starring actor. I've said bad things about Al, Jack and others. But at that time I just won the Golden Raspberry Award, and everyone complained in front of me."

Charlize was totally overjoyed and nodded seriously, "You have reached this level now, and the staff and actors are gathering behind you to talk about your gossip."

Hugo raised his chin and pointed to the staff in the corner of the set, "Do you think they are discussing the scene between Russell and me just now, or are they talking about the scandal between us?"

Charlize looked back and didn't think of this problem before. At this time, she looked carefully, pursed her lips and pointed her chin slightly and said, "I think both are there. They must think that I am destroying your relationship with Cameron. They are a shameless bitch." Charlize joked with a calm look, which made Hugo laugh.

At this time, Joseph quickly ran over and pointed to the cell phone in his hand. "Steven's phone." Hugo stood up and took the phone, and said, "You have a good attitude. You need this posture in our scene tonight. I think you will perform well." As a result, Charlize's middle finger came up. Hugo laughed heartily, walked to the side and answered the phone, "Hey, this is Hugo."

"Hugo, I'm sorry to bother you in filming." The other end of the phone was Steven Spielberg. "I originally wanted to ask Joe if you have time to have a meal together tonight, but now it seems unlikely." Generally speaking, unless there is a special need, the crew's working hours are eight hours, so daily life is still the same.

"So, who is the lobbyist for this time?" Hugo chuckled and joked that Steven had been a lobbyist for others many times before, hoping that Hugo could join their works, so Hugo had this statement.

Originally, it was just a joke, but Steven said, "This time I came to be a lobbyist for myself." Now Hugo was stunned, "What?"

Steven chuckled, "If my news is correct, 'Los Angeles Secret' can be completed in at most half a month, right? So I thought, if you are interested, you can join my crew and play an important role."

Suddenly, it seemed that the audition of "Schindler's List" was just yesterday. Hugo came to Steven tremblingly, participated in the audition, and used his own efforts to convince Steven, successfully played one of the most important bad guys in film history, and ushered in the first explosion of his career.

However, after that, Hugo and Steven became friends, but the cooperation between the two has never been "second" for the two. Before, "Men in Black" who served as producer on his own was not able to achieve cooperation. This also made many insiders feel very regretful. Today, Steven sent an invitation to Hugo again, but the situation was completely different from the time when "Schindler's list". Today, Hugo is fully qualified to be on par with Steven. The power of time is always amazing.

"Your crew? So you said 'Save Private Ryan'?" Hugo's first reaction was this work. Although Hugo did not interfere with the business of the Enjin Elite Brokerage Company, he heard a lot of news about the "Save Private Ryan" project. This was not only the first big move since the establishment of DreamWorks, but also the work of DreamWorks and Enjin Elite Brokerage Company in full cooperation, completely handed over to Enjin Elite Brokerage Company for bundling and packaging cooperation.

At present, "Save Private Ryan" can be said to be the most important project of the advanced elite brokerage company, and the entire company has been mobilized. Although no investment and production contract has been signed with any company, and no company to be issued, this is not a problem they need to worry about. Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. are all trying their best to win a contract for this work.

From "Los Angeles Secret" to "Save Private Ryan", almost the entire company of the Fighting Elite Agency was mobilized, and all actors of all sizes won the opportunity to star. Therefore, Hugo could not have heard of it.

Steven laughed, "Yes, it's 'Save Soldier Ryan'. At the beginning of next month, I plan to take the entire cast lineup to the base for military training, so that everyone can truly feel the urgency of war, and even receive some firearms and marching training, and then select some extras from the soldiers."

Hugo has read the script "Save Private Ryan" and has also put forward a lot of opinions. This script was written by Robert Rodat. The screenwriter is not very productive. Until 2014, there were only seven works, but each of them received many praises. Maybe he can't be considered a genius or a genius, but he is definitely a screenwriter with a solid foundation. His scripts can always reveal their weight in the ordinary.

"So, this time you are planning to put the focus lens on the reality and cruelty of war." Hugo smiled and pointed his chin, and said with a sigh.

It can be seen that Steven's approach to the two scripts "Save Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List" is completely different. Both works focus on war, showing the cruelty and blood of war to the fullest, and analyzing human nature. But "Schindler's List" comes more from psychological pressure, and the invisible smoke spreads in the concentration camp under Amon; and the historical heaviness of "Save Private Ryan" almost hits the face, making everyone breathless.

The smile on the corner of Steven's mouth became bigger, and he couldn't help but nodded, "I have a lot of ideas about this work. I'm clarifying my ideas recently. I hope I won't be too greedy, but I've made a smash. This is a good script, and I need good ideas to make it." At this point, Steven paused and moved back to the real purpose, "So, I think, I wonder if you are interested in this project and join our crew?"

"Don't your crew have a complete set of actors? I remember that you were auditioning for actors since before the filming of my movie started?" Hugo's memory was a little blurry. He vaguely remembered that when he was still resting in Long Beach, "Save Private Ryan" had already set up the project and started auditioning for actors. Because this project is too large, there are more than 300 professional actors who need audition, and more than 100 of them have lines.

Steven sighed, "I auditioned a lot, and most of the supporting roles have been selected, but I was still not satisfied with the main roles. I only found half of the satisfied actors in the small team of eight people."

Hugo couldn't help but chuckled, "It seems that our company is still too small." It is not easy for the Engaging Elite Agency to contract "Save Private Ryan" in one go, let alone selecting excellent actors, which is even more difficult. However, Steven didn't mind using unknown new actors, which made Rick and the others relieved. "So, do you want me to make a guest appearance? There is no problem. Anyway, after the filming of my work is over, it should be fine..." Speaking of this, Hugo couldn't help but stop. He thought about the script he was creating, but thinking about it carefully, he has not finished his entire creation, let alone looking for investment and creating a project in the future, so the filming should not start in a short period of time. "Yes, it should be fine. So, what role do you want me to play? It's better to find a hero who died bravely."

Steven was amused by Hugo's words and laughed, "Lt. John Miller, what do you think?"
