There is a four-person table near the corner of the restaurant, with a man and a woman sitting face to face.

Sitting directly opposite the restaurant gate was an elegant woman with short chestnut-colored hair, wearing a black turtleneck sweater, her narrow face was not as soft as a woman, but with a neat smile like a man, but her wrinkled eyes flashed with a wise light, and her slender fingers held a high-legged glass. Through the red wine, you can see that the slender fingertips had a faint elegance.

At this time, the woman was whispering to the man opposite. The old man in a blue and black shirt opposite had a huge body, which easily blocked the view from the surroundings and hid the woman opposite in a position that could not be seen from the perspective of the door. Since the old man turned his back to the door, he could not see his cheeks clearly. He could only see his head, which had been two-thirds naked, and his neatly decorated white goatee.

The woman held the wine glass in her right hand and whispered something. Then she and the old man laughed softly. The elegant smile was hazy in the light of the restaurant, like a spring breeze.

When Hugo and Joseph walked into the restaurant, they saw this scene. Although Joseph clearly stated that the woman was Nora Everon, Hugo still felt that it was not true. Nora is already fifty-one years old this year, but the woman who appeared in front of Hugo's every move made people ignore her age. She would involuntarily sigh that this was a strong woman with outstanding abilities but not sharpness. This temperament is indeed something that ordinary people can possess.

Although Nora did not achieve such brilliant results as Kathryn Bigelow, Kathryn Bigelow relied on the "Bomb Disposal Force (the.hurt.locker)" to become the first woman in history to win the Oscar for Best Director. This achievement is well-known. Nora never won the Oscar for Best Director in her life. She was nominated for Best Director only as a screenwriter. However, Nora and another female screenwriter and director Nancy Meyers became the leader among Hollywood female directors. With their delicate and romantic perspective, they pushed the movies of the Chicken movie to a new peak.

Nora's works include "When Harry Meets Sally", "Sleeping at Night in Seattle", "Electronic Love Letter (Teat're.got.mail), "Julieamp;juila". Although there are not many works, the years of the works have spanned from 1983 to 2009. For twenty-six years, she gave Xiaoniu a meaning far beyond "romantic love comedy", making this type of movie an irreplaceable genre in the history of films.

Nora in front of her made the best interpretation, she has such ability!

Joseph gently patted Hugo's arm, making Hugo come to his senses, and then the two walked over together. Nora saw Hugo first, and then gave the old man Rob Reiner the opposite sign. The two stood up together and expressed their welcome to Hugo with such actions.

"Hugo, thank you for coming to meet me today." Nora introduced each other with a warm smile on her face. After ordering, she began to slowly get to the topic. "I don't know how Robert told you, but in my opinion, you are not my first choice."

Clean and neat, without any delay, Nora actually expressed her position to Hugo as soon as she came up, which was really unexpected. Rob couldn't help but smile helplessly. Obviously he still knew his friend's personality very well; but Joseph was stunned for a moment, and he spoke at the first reaction, "But you didn't give Hugo a chance to speak, right?" After Joseph finished speaking, he also realized that he still had not practiced enough and was a little impatient, so he adjusted his breathing and then said, "I think you should at least talk to Hugo and draw a conclusion after dinner."

Hugo knew that Joseph was performing his agent's duties, so he was not in a hurry to speak. If he had not seen Nora, Hugo's reaction should be similar to Joseph, either impatient or surprised. But after meeting Nora just now, Hugo knew that this strong woman could gain a foothold in Hollywood's "boys over girls" circle in the next fifteen years, and it would be impossible without two brushes.

In Hugo's opinion, since Nora agreed to today's dinner, she actually gave Hugo a chance. No matter whether the reason she agreed to dinner was Rob's friendship or other reasons, or whether she directly rejected Hugo just now, the process of dinner was actually the time when Nora inspected Hugo.

"That's natural, let's have a meal first." Nora said politely to Joseph with a smile, then she looked at Hugo with some curiosity, "What do you think?"

"Of course, I'm already hungry and I'm praying not to quarrel at the person next door." Hugo also smiled back, but the gentleman said humorously, which made Nora and Robert chuckled.

But Joseph still looked at Hugo with some concern, but at this time Joseph calmed down, just like the last time "Yihai Xiongfeng". The dining process was actually an audition. Joseph tried his best to say good things to Hugo, but as an agent, he could do that. He still had to rely on Hugo himself to win the role. After all, it was Hugo, not Joseph, who was on the big screen.

Nora obviously did not expect Hugo's calmness, because Hugo was only twenty-five years old, while Joseph was twenty-eight years old. Relatively speaking, Joseph was more impatient, while Hugo had a better maturity than young. If Nora knew that although Hugo was young, she had been in society for ten years and was at the bottom of society, she might not have been so surprised. Unfortunately, Nora didn't know.

"Do you have no opinion on my opinion just now?" Nora raised her eyebrows slightly and said. Robert, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but shake his head, "Nora!" Rob felt that he had clearly agreed to have a meal first, but Nora mentioned the old words again, and there was no need.

But Hugo seemed not to hear what Robert said, and smiled at Nora's slightly sharp eyes, "Yes, of course there is. I came to eat this dinner to win this role, not for a free dinner..." Speaking of this, Hugo paused and looked at Robert, "Rober, did you pay for this dinner? Or did I behave rude?"

These words made Robert laugh out loud. He also saw the cunning light in Hugo's eyes. When recalling the situation during the filming of "Yihai Xiongfeng", Robert felt much more relieved. Joseph, who was sitting opposite, finally felt more at ease when he saw Hugo's easeful expression, but he still focused on Nora's expression with half of his heart.

The smile on Nora's face magnified a little, "I should pay for this meal, this is my work." On the surface, Nora was answering Hugo's joke, but at the same time it was also showing that the person who has the ability to make decisions here is her.

Hugo took a deep breath in his heart. He told himself that this audition is different from "Yihai Xiongfeng". What he needs is not sharpness, but calmness and delicacy. He must not be distracted, otherwise all his previous efforts will be wasted. Then Hugo did not show any abnormality on the surface and turned to look at Nora, "That's so lucky. The dish I ordered just now seems not cheap." A word that was neither soft nor hard but a little childish, made people laugh. But Joseph and Robert secretly sweated in their hearts.

Hugo continued, "I'm curious, where is Nora's dissatisfaction with me? I think I should know that this can improve." This made the four-person dining table quiet. Hugo was turning against the guest. As an actor who participated in the audition, he took the initiative to attack the director. Such an unconventional approach really made people's heart beat faster. Fortunately, Hugo's words were not sharp, nor was it a questioning tone. It was more of a friendly, gentlemanly and polite questioning, which did not make the atmosphere worse.

"I heard Robert mention it before and I briefly learned about the role this time. I guess, on the one hand, it is because I am too young, on the other hand... Huh, although it is a bit shy to say this, on the other hand, it seems to be because I am too handsome?" Hugo's smiley question overflowed from the corner of his mouth with a smile, which made Nora laugh, and couldn't help but laugh.

"I will take your expression as a positive answer," Hugo continued to look at Nora, "Then I think I should be happy. Any time you get praise, it should be a good thing, right?" After Hugo said, he looked at Joseph. Joseph did not react at the first time, but just paused, and quickly spoke, "But if this becomes the reason for your rejection, it will not be so beautiful."

After Joseph finished speaking, he glanced at Hugo and saw the smile in Hugo's eyes. Joseph knew that his words were right. Fortunately, the two finally had a tacit understanding, no longer like the audition of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and had no communication.

Nora did not speak immediately, but looked at Hugo playfully. Hugo's words just seemed to be just polite words, but they allowed her to see different qualities. Mature, steady, humorous, intelligent, gentle... These temperaments were not expected by Nora, and they were also what Nora hoped to see in the role of Sam. In other words, Hugo was showing his abilities in this way, hoping to leave a reliable and accurate impression on Nora.

Suddenly, Nora became interested in the twenty-five-year-old boy in front of her. She remembered what Rob said when he recommended Hugo to her, "He will surprise you."

So, Nora slightly adjusted her sitting posture and looked at Hugo's outfit with an inquiring gaze. "Then let's discuss this script. I think... let's start with your clothes today." At this time, Nora's eyes were no longer gentle, but more picky and inquiry, which immediately made Hugo feel the pressure, "What... is this? A homeless man?"
