075 Recover a City
Martin Baum held the pen in his hand, rubbed his fingers gently on the surface of the pen, and looked at the documents on the desktop with his eyes a little confused, until the door knocked on it, "Martin, Brad is here." Martin came back to his senses and said loudly, "Come in."
Brad then walked in quickly. Today Brad wore a white T-shirt with a black leather jacket. His tough style was undoubtedly revealed in his faintly bursting chest muscles. At this time, Brad was in his prime, full of sunshine, but he also looked slightly frizzy and rough, and the recklessness of the young man was revealed to him.
Martin looked at Brad in front of him and thought of Hugo. In fact, Martin had been thinking about Hugo just now, thinking about why this young man could make people miss it. When Martin saw Brad, he found the answer, because the warm sunshine on Hugo might not be strong, but at the same time it would not be as dazzling as Brad. On the contrary, it would penetrate into the skin in a warm and silent way. The young man's smile is still vivid in Martin's mind.
In fact, Hugo is four years younger than Brad. Logically speaking, Brad should have seen more human feelings and should be more calm and sophisticated, but this is not the case. Martin could clearly describe the scene of the audition that night. Faced with Brad's aggressiveness, Hugo refuted it without being anxious or slow, but firmly and strongly. The powerful sense of oppression in his every move was as tough as a drip of water passing through a stone, but also as fast as a piercing wind.
No wonder the crew of "Yihai Xiongfeng" chose Hugo Lancaster, not only gave up Brad Pitt, but even Tom Cruise.
"Martin? Martin!" Brad looked at the agent in front of him. He looked at himself a little dazed, his eyes were hollow and powerless, which forced Brad to wake Martin up loudly. After confirming that Martin's eyes had finally refocused, Brad then said, "What are you asking me for?"
Brad did not ask why Martin was distracted, because he knew that even if he asked, Martin would not answer. So Brad walked to the couch next to him and sat down, crossed his legs.
Martin put away all his thoughts and looked at Brad and shook his head, "You don't look nervous at all. Do you feel that you have no problem at all? Do you think you are a rising star now, and everyone will flock to you to film? I told you that you are nothing now, but a work that has been successful is nothing at all. Don't be self-righteous."
Brad had long been used to Martin's posture. He still crossed his legs and didn't care much. However, facing Martin's surging anger, at least he did not rely on the back of the sofa chair anymore, but sat upright, leaning forward slightly to look at Martin, indicating that he was listening carefully, not being absent-minded.
"What's wrong? I haven't done anything these two days." Brad was confused, obviously not understanding why the agent came to scold him again.
"'Yihai Xiongfeng', remember it again." Martin didn't turn the corner, and directly talked about the key points, which immediately made Brad alert.
Brad put down his raised right foot, stopped chewing the gum in his mouth, and looked at Martin nervously and expectantly, "How is this audition, the result is coming? Am I selected?"
Martin resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He had said a lot of things just now, and it seemed that it was just in vain. Brad didn't understand at all. "No, you didn't get this role!" Martin said simply and neatly.
"Damn Tom Cruise!" Brad slammed his knee hard. He took it for granted that Tom finally compromised. After getting this role, he had no other ideas at all. He muttered angrily, "He must have wanted to pay for the salary, otherwise why would he be pushing there for so long and nodding until the last moment. This movie will start shooting next week. What a cunning guy!"
"No, it's Hugo Lancaster." Martin interrupted Brad's complaint and announced the result.
"What?" Brad didn't react for a moment, and looked at Martin in a daze, looking confused.
"I said, it was Hugo who got this role, and Robert chose Hugo in the end." Martin just got the result this morning. Rob rejected Brad, and then he got the news again. Tom was unable to reach an agreement. The result was very simple. Hugo finally reversed and snatched the role from Tom and Brad. Of course, Martin has not received the final confirmation. He just left a message to Columbia Pictures, hoping to get a definite reply, but the possibility of an accident is very small.
"Grass!" Brad stood up from the sofa with anger and depression on his face, "Hugo! Hugo! Hugo! It's actually Hugo!" Brad obviously couldn't accept such a result. Imagine the superiority he faced with Hugo during the last audition of "Dahe Love". Today, Hugo actually won a game and snatched the opportunity of "Yihai Xiongfeng" from his own hands. Brad seemed to have forgotten that this opportunity originally belonged to Tom, and he had never really had this opportunity.
"Martin, no, anyone can play this role, absolutely not Hugo." Brad rushed to Martin's desk, angrily supported his hands on the table, and shouted red with his face, "He is not competent for this role. You tell Robert that if I play it, I will be better, a hundred times better than Hugo!"
Brad's self-confidence was severely hit. He originally thought that after the Golden Raspberry Award, he watched Hugo go downhill, but now it seems that's not the case. "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women" is not just a good luck. The opportunity for "Yihai Shengfeng" actually came to Hugo again, especially to defeat Tom, which was really a fierce impact.
Martin actually guessed Brad's reaction. Although he was not sure, Tracy's role in it was still vaguely clear. In addition, Hugo won the victory in the head-on confrontation with Brad this time, which would undoubtedly severely impact Brad's confidence. But Martin did not intend to indulge Brad's arrogance.
"Don't forget that Hugo and you both won the opportunity in front of Robert. You lost this audition. In terms of excellence, in Robert's eyes, he had chosen Hugo, and you were not as good as him." Martin's next dose of hard medicine made Brad's face pale in an instant.
Then Martin stood up quickly and shouted at Brad's depressed face, "If you are at this level, don't think about competing with Hugo. He is more than a hundred times better than you. If you are really a man, cheer up again, don't play all day long, and you will be happy to find the direction after achieving a little result. Opportunities will always be available, and even if not, I will create them for you. What you have to do is to strengthen your strength and seize these opportunities!"
Martin called Brad over to attack Brad's confidence. Recently, Brad seemed a little complacent and could not find North, so Martin had to be vigilant, but as an agent, he could not attack Brad head-on, and his advice was probably hard to hear. So Martin could only seize this opportunity, hoping to rekindle Brad's fighting spirit.
Sure enough, Brad gritted his teeth, and he soon realized that in the two competitions between him and Hugo, he only won and lost, and he did not really lose the game. Therefore, he did not need to be decadent or frustrated at all. What he needed to do was to find the direction again and prepare for the next competition.
"Hugo Lancaster, our competition has just begun!" Brad clenched his right fist and smashed it hard on the desk, but he did not feel any pain at all, only infinite fighting spirit!
On the other hand, after Joseph confirmed the news, he returned home excitedly from the company. Seeing the door on the third floor open, he shouted in the corridor, "Hugo! Hugo!" There was almost irrepressible excitement and joy in his voice, which made the three people who were helping to organize their luggage in Charlize's room come out, and looked surprised when he looked at Joseph who had lost his usual calmness.
"Hugo!" Joseph seemed to have not noticed his disobedience at all. He still said tremblingly in a voice that was two tones higher than usual, "You have won the role of Daniel, you have defeated Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt has won the role, you can play the 'Yihai Xiongfeng', you can collaborate with Robert and Jack!"
Joseph said a lot of things directly, but the information was clearer. Hugo relied on his own efforts to get another role! This made the joy in Hugo's chest instantly fill, and then explode, and beautiful fireworks bloomed on the tips of his eyebrows, eyes and mouth.
"Really?" Hugo ran towards Joseph excitedly, "Really?" After asking one after another, Joseph nodded and affirmed, and then saw Hugo jumping up on the spot, and waved his fist hard, completely releasing his inner joy.
The success of this audition is too important and hard-won. No wonder Joseph lost his composure and Hugo was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
In addition, Carl and Charlize, who were standing next to him, were also infected. Although Charlize was not very clear about the situation and did not know how important this audition was, they both cheered together and joined the ranks of Hugo and Joseph's celebration with the most direct actions.
"Oh yeah!" Alex, who had just walked into the house, saw the four people celebrating, and cheered together without knowing that the excited expression on his face was not awkward or embarrassed at all. "Wow, it's so great! It's great!" Alex's shouting was even more exaggerated than the other four people combined.
