006 Competitors

"What are you standing there and watching?" Joseph walked to Hugo's side, and the car had already driven to the parking lot by the parking lot.

Hugo glanced at Joseph, then raised his chin and signaled the direction of the lobby, "Brad Pitt."

Joseph looked over Hugo's gaze and sighed softly, "He is your biggest competitor." Hugo was stunned, as if he understood the greeting of Brad and himself just now, which should be a meeting similar to "Hey, opponent, I know you". Joseph opened his mouth, wanted to speak but stopped, but did not say it, but paused, and then continued, "He is in the rising period now."

Brad Pitt is not the heartthrob who has been popular among girls since the 21st century. After experiencing the entire 1980s TV screen confusion period, he only appeared in "Thelma.And.Louise" directed by Ridley Scott last year, but he shined, quickly turning from an unknown handyman to a hot star in Hollywood. Especially in the list of nominations for the 49th Golden Globes that were announced not long ago, "Thelma.And.Louise" won many nominations such as Best Director, Best Film, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, etc., and quickly became a popular favorite at the 64th Oscars, making Brad Pitt more attention.

In the script "The Great River Love", Brad's temperament is purely natural and Paul. In addition, he is now in an upward period of popularity, so the crew is indeed the most likely to choose him to play. This is also the historical fact that Hugo knows. Brad won the role of Paul in "The Great River Love" and further improved his career with this role.

However, the trajectory of history has undergone subtle changes. Hugo traveled here in 2014, so can he change history and create his own miracle? Hugo knew that in 2014 there was no top star named Hugo Lancaster. If he wanted to create a world of his own, he had to rely on his own efforts to change the historical trajectory step by step. So, today may be the beginning, and he must take the first step firmly.

From the current perspective, Brad regards himself as a competitor, which is also because Hugo has enough strength. After all, Hugo is at least the male lead in several movies. Before the audition for "Dahe Love" ends, everything is possible! Hugo breathes out a long breath to calm down his nervousness.

"Go in. The interview room is in the conference room on the third floor. You go to the reception room outside and wait. I'll handle a little and come right away." Joseph did not follow Hugo to the elevator, but stood in the hotel lobby and stopped, signaling Hugo to continue moving forward.

Hugo also stopped and looked at Joseph with some anxiety. It took less than twelve hours to come to Los Angeles. Joseph was now the only person he knew in this strange world, and he had never participated in the movie audition before. The interviews of supporting roles and supporting actors and auditions were completely different from those of the starring actors. What's more, Hugo was not sure if he was nervous or not, he would not be able to rely on Chinese to communicate, which would be bad. Therefore, Hugo subconsciously had some dependence mentality.

Joseph had never seen Huseph appear like this before, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "You haven't participated in the audition, do you want me to take you there?" Huseph muttered in his heart: I really haven't auditioned, but he looked at Joseph innocently on his face, not knowing what answer to give.

Joseph hesitated for a moment. The reason why he asked Hugo to go up alone was because he had something to avoid Hugo and did it. When he thought of that woman's affairs, Joseph felt powerless. Hugo would fall to this point and it was not unrelated to that woman.

After looking around, Joseph pointed to the three people standing at the elevator door, "Did you see those people? Those who went to the third floor are all actors who were auditioning. Today, the auditioners are interviewing the main roles, so there will not be many actors, just follow them up. I have submitted your resume, just wait and call your name, I will come here as soon as possible."

Hugo also realized that his hesitation was very wrong. This was not the emotion that an actor who had played the male lead in many movies should have. He couldn't help but cheer himself up in his heart, "I know, don't worry about me, I can do it myself." After that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator first.

Joseph looked at Hugo's departure back and shook his head in wonder. Hugo's performance was completely different from his previous performance last night. Of course, he still likes Hugo now. At least today, Hugo's entire mental outlook is sunny, which is definitely a positive signal. As for the reasons for the difference in performance, Joseph can only blame the great enlightenment after struggling on the line of life and death.

Soon, Joseph took back his thoughts. When he thought about meeting Tracy Jacobs, he had a headache and had to concentrate on dealing with this woman, otherwise the audition for "Dahe Love" today might be in vain.

Walking in the Four Seasons Hotel, the Italian Renaissance-style hotel lobby, Hugo only felt that his steps were slapping the shoulders of history. It was really refreshing to walk to the elevator entrance. However, because Hugo was walking like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, the three people had already taken the elevator upstairs just now, so Hugo could only press the elevator again, and after the elevator came down, he walked into the elevator alone. After pressing the floor sign, he looked down at the script in his hand. I wonder if there were any specified plays or free plays in today's audition, or the form of chat. Moreover, is it different for the interview in Hollywood?

The elevator soon arrived at the destination. With a "ding" sound, Hugo opened the elevator door and bit his lower lip and walked out of the elevator. The elevator door closed and locked the bright light behind him. Hugo raised his head and looked left and right, but saw the entire empty corridor quietly appearing in front of him. Hugo stood in place in a daze.

Didn’t it mean that today is the audition for “Dahe Love”? Why is the corridor empty? Brad and the three actors came up just now, so it shouldn’t be an empty scene. Hugo frowned and thought about it. Just now, Joseph said that there was a reception room outside. Could it be that there was a separate reception room today, and all the actors participating in the audition entered the room and waited?

Hugo had no idea about the situation in Hollywood, so he could only take a clumsy step and walk to the left according to his intuition. However, all of these rooms were hotel rooms, and there were no signs for conference rooms, let alone auditions, interviews, reception rooms and other signs. This immediately made Hugo confused.

At this moment, the sound of opening the door came from the end of the right side of the corridor behind him. Hugo turned around and looked over reflexively, and then he saw a man and a woman appearing in sight. The man was tall and handsome, with soft blonde hair very conspicuous under the milky yellow light of the corridor. The woman was wearing a white-collar one-length skirt suit, completely outlining her convex figure, intellectual and neat temperament, and charming. The two looked at each other deeply. Although there was no physical contact, the tacit understanding between her eyes was particularly conspicuous in the ambiguous laughter.

That's... Brad Pitt?

After Hugo saw the man's face clearly, his first reaction was surprise. He thought that it was the reception room where the actors rested before the audition, but his smile immediately froze. Because the two people noticed that there were other people in the corridor, the two people looked up and saw Hugo standing on the other side of the corridor. The distance between the two people was not much changed, but the tacit understanding and smile between their eyebrows disappeared silently in the hazy light. This picture is really obvious and explains what cat tricks are.

Could this be the unspoken rule of Hollywood?

Brad and the woman did not stop much and walked straight towards the elevator in the middle. The woman's face became clearer and clearer. Hugo looked at the woman's face, and there was always another inexplicable sense of familiarity in his mind. Could it be that they had cooperated before? The feeling of not being able to remember it is really bad. Hugo even doubted that if he saw his parents with this body, or if he just treated him as a stranger when he saw his ex-girlfriend, that would be truly embarrassing.

Brad's vision did not hide from Hugo, but showed his iconic bright smile. Brad was only twenty-nine years old at this time, and when he was young and energetic, his unruly and sexy image fascinated the hearts of many young girls. Hugo could easily see endless confidence and strong fighting will in Brad's smile.

It seems that Brad really regards Hugo as his strongest competitor, but why? Hugo's current situation in Hollywood is not good. He was shortlisted for the Golden Raspberry Award three times in two years, which puts Hugo's acting career in a big dilemma, and Brad is a rising star, which is incomparable. Or is it that Hugo didn't remember other entanglements between the two.

This damn time travel.

At this moment, Hugo finally understood the meaning of Brad saying to him at the door just now. This sentence quoted Hugo's acceptance speech at the Golden Raspberry Awards, but it was not a provocation or a ridicule, but a book of war. It seems that Brad is planning to compete with Hugo in the audition of "The Great River Love"!

This immediately made Hugo burn his fighting spirit. No matter what happened before, or what the reason why the two became opponents, Hugo had to defeat Brad if he wanted to win the role of Paul in "The Love of the River", so this made the two destined to become competitors.

The woman and Brad walked to the elevator entrance. After the elevator was opened, the two of them did not rush into entering. The woman stood there and looked at Hugo again. The look was very strange: it seemed that they were looking forward to something and seemed to be repulsing something. This mixed look made Hugo look at it for no reason.

After waiting for a while, the woman did not wait for Hugo's reaction, and then followed Brad into the elevator. The two of them took the elevator and walked down. Hugo only then did he react half a beat slower: Isn't the audition here? Why do they still take the elevator?
