Professionals on Wall Street are well aware of the principle of "time". Making accurate decisions at the right time is the key to success.

The same is true in the film industry. If the "Seven Deadly Sins" were released without the resistance of young volcanoes, they might not be able to achieve such brilliant success; if the "Avengers" were ten years ahead of time, apart from the constraints of visual effects, the genre films were not yet mature and the market was not fully mature, and they might have suffered a crushing defeat; "Future Water World" caused a tragedy in 1995, but if it was put into five or ten years, even if it could not succeed, it would not lose enough to drag down a company.

This is even more true for Oscars. For example, in the year when "Shawshank Redemption", "Pulp Novels", and "Forrest Gump" collided, if these three works were released in other years, they might have the ability to seize the Shawshank Redemption, but unfortunately they met head-on, and history chose the "Forrest Gump" that best suited the historical trend of that year. If history changes slightly, who can say that the final winner is not "Pulp Novels" or "Shawshank Redemption"?

This is the importance of timing.

In the history that Hugo is familiar with, the work "Female Devil" was released at the end of 2003. Charlize gave a surprisingly exciting performance. He was the winner of the awards season and almost led the battle for the best actor with an absolute advantage. He also won the title of Best Actress at the 76th Academy Awards.

But now, from 2003 to 1998, will the timing really be correct?

Charlize only turned 23 in August this year. This age is still a young and immature stage in Hollywood. Most actresses have starred in some campus youth romance comedies at this stage. Actresses like Charlize who work hard to polish their acting skills can definitely be said to be rare. But even so, Charlize is still still immature. Whether it is performance experience, social experience or understanding of performance, there is still a lot of room for growth without the accumulation of time.

The character of Erin Ainos is not only heavy and dark, but also complex and sharp, but also delicate and fragile. How can a woman with no power become a serial killer that shocks the whole United States? The cruel and cold killing methods are even more outrageous. But hidden behind her cruel and terrifying face is the persistence of love and the loneliness of longing for care. That softness is heartbreaking, and what is even more terrifying is that this soft corner has been wiped out bit by bit in life.

This character is complex, profound and realistic, and the challenge is unimaginable, even surpassing any character Hugo has played so far.

Can Charlize be competent?

Not only that, the Oscar prospects cannot be ignored. Everyone knows that the nomination for the Oscar is strength, but winning the award is luck. Charlize had the right time, place and people at the 76th Oscar. At that time, none of her four competitors could give effective challenges. Keisha Castle-hughes, who won the nomination for the first time with the "Whale Knight (te.kareke.tohora)", was only twelve years old and was destined to be a running-in early in the morning. Samantha Morton, who "Going to Heaven (in.ame Day)" won the acting nomination for the second time, but her overall strength in the work was too weak and almost ignored.

Those who can really make an impact on Charlize are Naomi Watts (nao fan.watts) and Diane Keaton, who "love is compromise (something’s.gotta.give), but the public relations of "21 grams" focus on the male protagonist Sean Pan, and Diane's works are romantic love comedy with weak competitiveness.

Therefore, almost no one can threaten Charlize, who has dedicated his best performance in his career. Charlize finally led the way and won the most important film queen trophy in her life. But if the "female devil" is five years ahead of schedule and lacking the most important opportunity and luck, can she still win the most important actress trophy in her life?

If the "Female Devil" was really filmed and released in 1998, then whether this work became "Forrest Gump" or "puff novel", or simply failed completely and was buried in the long river of 1998, no one mentioned it.

This is a question no one can answer. Hugo can't.

"Hugo? Hugo!" Charlize found that Hugo seemed a little dazed. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear Hugo's movement. He had to shout. Hugo then shook his mind and looked at Charlize, and cast a puzzled look, "I'm asking you, what do you think?"

"What are you worried about?" Hugo hesitated for a moment and asked.

Charlize chuckled, "Worrying that I can't compete with this role? Worrying that I ruined the script? By the way, I've read the first fifteen pages of the script, it's very exciting! I really like it so much. Worrying that my abilities are not enough? Worrying that I'm doing something beyond my ability? Worrying that I'm making a wrong decision. Of course, the main thing is that David makes a wrong decision."

Charlize's tone was very relaxed, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in his words, but she could still feel her uneasiness and hesitation.

Hugo found that the situation seemed similar to that of Leonardo, and the situation of Leonardo, came to him again. The incident of convincing Leonardo to play the "Titanic" was completely different from today, but it was essentially the same: how should he give his own opinions when he knew the trajectory of historical development? Did he become the "producer" in the "Trumen's World" who hides behind the screen and manipulates his friends' lives?

This is really an ironic thing, because Leonardo is now in Lanchez, completely away from the chaos in Hollywood. In fact, Hugo knew that James Cameron had had two fierce conflicts with Rick for this, and one time James even slammed the door out.

Because "Titanic" is still in the publicity period, but both starring Leonardo and Kate have absent from the follow-up publicity, which is simply a shame for James. However, the publicity period is actually not the most important. After all, "Titanic" has been released for nearly two months now, and the intensive publicity period has already ended. James' real intention is still Oscars.

Although the awards season has not been formed, and although the Oscar public relations have not been truly formed, James has keenly smelled clues. He hopes that Leonardo and Kate can accompany him to some parties, banquets, and dinners, and do a good job in public relations. He needs to win this confrontation between "Titanic" and "Los Angeles City Secret", "perfect", he needs to win this confrontation between him and Hugo, and he needs to win this confrontation between the traditional and the innovative.

However, Leonardo disappeared directly. After Kate finished filming of "Trumen's World", he went back to London for a short time. Although he could take on the British propaganda work, the United States was beyond the reach. This almost made James angry.

But the problem is that Leonardo is hiding under Hugo's wings. Now even Shirley Lansing and Kevin Pence are unwilling to confront Hugo head-on even for James Cameron. This makes James full of anger and has no place to vent, so he can only get angry at Rick.

Even so, Leonardo still stayed with Lanches and enjoyed the peace that belonged to him. Now, Charlize has left New York, replaced the telephone contact, but arrived at Lanches himself and asked him for help. This is trust in him, but it is also a responsibility.

Hugo did not answer immediately, but thought seriously, "Do you still remember the feeling when we saw the news?" Charlize began to recall according to Hugo's words, "We all think this is a very crazy world. What exactly forced this woman to embark on this road of no return. In fact, this is how life is like this. Hateful people must be pitiful, but the other way around, because humans are very complex animals, each of us is so the same, but completely different. Especially people like Erin Ainos who walk on the unknown road, she knows that the point is the cliff, but she still continues to take steps. It becomes more difficult to understand her."

Charlize nodded, his voice falling slightly, "I know, there are so many unknowns here, we can't understand it at all." Charlize raised his head and immediately crashed into Hugo's eyes. The amber-colored eyes that looked like a calm hot spring reflected a faint bitterness and pain. Charlize understood the meaning of Hugo's eyes in an instant. He remembered her father, the memory that was firmly buried deep in his mind but never disappeared.

Hugo always did this. He easily understood her true thoughts in her heart, but she was not aggressive. On the contrary, her slightly dim mood cast a hint of sunshine in. Charlize pulled a light smile on the corner of his mouth, thanking Hugo for not saying the man's name directly, not hitting the wound in her heart, but giving her enough support.

Taking a deep breath, Charlize buried his inner thoughts and then said, "This is also the reason why I am worried. This is not just a character, but also a real person. Letting me play Erin Ainos is almost an unimaginable challenge. I don't even know if I have the ability to go deep into Erin's heart and explore her scarred past."

Hugo lowered his eyes slightly, covered up the turbulence in his heart, and then looked at Charlize again. This time, he heard a vague expectation in Charlize's tone that had not changed much. It seemed that Charlize actually wanted to take on the script deep in his heart. She came to Hugo, not asking for advice, but gaining courage.
