024 Exploring Eyes
Hugo hesitated on the spot for a second. He was unwilling to give up. He tried his best to fight for it, but he still couldn't make a breakthrough. He was really unwilling to give up. But then he looked at Martin and Bo in front of him. The expressions on their faces were no longer the seriousness they had when they just came in. Their joy could be seen in the eyes and the corners of his mouth. Hugo realized that at least his efforts were still effective.
Although he did not get a positive answer, Hugo knew that he still kept his hope, and he would not know until today's public interview was over. In fact, this is a positive signal. Even if the person who finally got the role of Charlie was not himself, Hugo would think it was worth it, because he gained confidence through today's audition. He knew that relying on his talent and sweat could make a fortune. Even if he failed this time, he was willing to continue to struggle. What's more, he had not failed this time, and the expressions on Martin and Bo's faces were evidence!
Thinking of this, Hugo felt relieved. He smiled again. Without any hesitation, he turned around and left the conference room. Looking at Alan, who was standing at the door to inform the next interviewer, Hugo nodded slightly and signaled, then held his head up and left with confidence.
"Allen, we have decided, aren't we?" Martin looked at Hugo's back as he left. He could clearly feel the emotional change from disappointment to regaining his heart. Such positive and optimistic Hugo once again made him more love.
Allen chuckled softly, "Martin, don't worry, we still have 300 candidates to interview, don't worry." Although she was very satisfied with Hugo, today's public interview has just begun, and there is no need to make a decision in such a hurry. This is Hollywood, and there is never a lack of genius.
Martin naturally knew this, and he didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Bo on his left, "Hugo looks like a good seedling. Although his acting skills are still not mature enough and there is still a lot of room for growth, his talent is indeed very outstanding. What's going on with this 'Hudson Eagle'?"
To be precise, Martin wondered what Hugo had in the past three works, one after another, even if he fell into depravity, it shouldn't be so fast, especially when he saw Hugo's performance during the audition today, it was even more incomprehensible.
Bo shrugged, "The script is wrong, you know, anyone has a time to make mistakes, after all, he is still young." A bad script is likely to ruin an actor. Many times, the actor's performance is not a problem, but a problem with the script and the director, which leads to a terrible work. Then, no matter how outstanding the actor is, it is difficult for him to turn the tide.
Martin sighed. He hadn't seen "The Deadly Moment" or "The Hudson Eagle" and didn't know how bad these two movies were. But it's certain that Hugo, who appeared in front of them today, was indeed exceptionally outstanding.
During this conversation, the next interviewer had already come in. Allen returned to his position. Martin and Bo's expressions returned to seriousness. After giving a brief introduction, Allen said, "Okay, you have thirty seconds to show us what you prepared."
Hugo left the conference room and walked towards the waiting crowd in the studio with calm steps. What surprised Hugo was that the bustling studio at the scene was now in a strange silence. It was not that it was silent, but that everyone was talking in a low voice, or even just using eyes to communicate, which made the scene filled with a low commotion.
Hugo's first reaction was that some big shot arrived at the scene, but after looking around, he had no gains. Not only that, he noticed that people's gaze seemed to be concentrated towards him without any reason. Hugo was very familiar with this gaze. He had not long ago when he participated in the "Dahe Love" audition, but at that time, most of them were joking and joking eyes, but today's gaze was more about exploration and curiosity.
Hugo frowned slightly and looked down at himself. There was no abnormality in the sky blue shirt, black suit pants and navy uniform jacket, and there was no problem, including the zipper of the pants. So what does this look mean?
While thinking about it, Hugo's steps forward moved forward again. In the crowd, Hugo immediately noticed two jealous gazes. The gaze was so hot that it was difficult for Hugo to ignore them. He followed this feeling and looked to his right hand, and soon searched for the figures of George Wood and William Stone, and the eyes came from them.
George closed his chin, squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Hugo with the almost burning look. This look was different from the previous provocation, and it was more jealousy, anger, and... unwillingness. George bit his lower lip hard, and the bloodless lips seemed to be bitten at any time. His white teeth were dyed with a faint red color, which clearly saw his heart rolling at this moment, not to mention the veins rising on his neck and forehead, which made people suspect that he could become a human bomb at any time and explode directly at the scene.
Hugo doesn't understand George's emotions. If sarcasm or envy or jealousy, it can be said that it is the follow-up effect of the Golden Raspberry Award, but what's going on with this unfounded anger and unwillingness?
William, who was standing next to him, obviously his face was not much better. The contradiction of disdain and unwillingness to collide was circling in his eyes, and the uneasy and hesitation could clearly see clues on his facial expressions. But this obviously did not help Hugo's understanding of the situation, and he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, it is certain that neither George nor William came up to disturb Hugo again. Although Hugo was not worried about their provocation, he was always upset by such troubles again and again, just like a lingering green-headed fly. Hugo felt that this situation was good. Even though they were probably crushed and ashes in their sight, Hugo didn't care at all, so he did not intend to further explore the stone and wood. His vision just paused on the two people, then shifted away, and began to find Joseph's position.
Obviously, Joseph has been paying attention to the situation in the conference room from the beginning and always paying attention to the progress of the interview. So when Hugo came out, Joseph immediately met. Through the dense crowd in front of him, Joseph waved at Hugo with a smile on his face, attracting Hugo's sight.
"How is the audition process? Is everything going well?" Joseph couldn't wait to ask, but he said nothing before he could answer. He looked around without waiting for Hugo to answer, and then said, "Let's go out and talk, there are too many people here."
Hugo looked around along Joseph's gaze. Everyone turned their eyes away with guilt, and then stretched their ears to listen to their conversation with Joseph, which made Hugo smile. I guess everyone wanted to know the progress of the audition, which would make them more preparations. Unfortunately, Joseph directly extinguished this hope, and Hugo could even see many people showing disappointed expressions on their faces.
The two left the studio and walked towards the parking lot. Before Joseph could speak, Hugo took the lead in asking, "Joseph, what happened to everyone just now? Why didn't everyone speak, and they all looked at me curiously? Did something unexpected happen outside while I was auditioning?"
Joseph's mouth was outlined with a small curve, but the smile in his eyes rose. Hugo found that Joseph rarely smiled, and even if he smiled, it was only a small curve. It can be seen that he was not a person who was good at expressing himself. But at this time, Joseph's eyes revealed his inner excitement, "This is for granted." Joseph even needed to take a deep breath to adjust his speech rhythm, "Do you know? You stayed inside for fifteen minutes, and everyone outside was shocked. Everyone was guessing whether you had already taken the role of Charlie, and their audition was over before it even started."
"Fifteen minutes?" Hugo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows to express his surprise, "I really didn't realize that people really couldn't notice the changes in time and space when they were nervous." In fact, Hugo thought he had been in it for at most five minutes, which was one of the reasons why he regained his confidence. Now it seems that the situation is much better than he thought. No wonder the face of the wood and stone was so ugly, and he didn't come forward to provoke it again, which made Hugo smile on his face.
"So, tell me, how was your audition going? Did everything go smoothly? Have you already got this role?" Joseph tried to keep calm, but the slightly quick connection still made Hugo feel his expectations.
Hugo shrugged, "I tried my best, they asked me to go back and wait for the news." This immediately made the excitement in Joseph's eyes fade away: this is not good news. But Hugo then said, "But I saw that the interviewer was still very satisfied with me. They said that I performed very well, and I communicated with them a lot of profound questions. I think this should be a positive signal."
Joseph did not say anything. He slowed down, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, then nodded, "Yes, this is a good start." Joseph also figured it out at this time. Today's public interview has just begun, and the crew will definitely hope to finish the interview and make a decision in the end. Judging from the current situation, Hugo not only stayed in it for fifteen minutes - longer than everyone who participated in the interview before, but also the entire interview process was smooth when listening to Hugo's explanation. So, this is a positive signal.
