Chapter 1400: 1400 Wonderful Father

To be honest, the current Macaulay is not suitable for Chu Chu's pitiful innocent expression.

If it was Macaulay when he was filming "Home Alone", the pitiful look on his face would probably have broken countless hearts; but now Macaulay looks like an addiction. A gentleman, with an unreasonable and wonderful father next to him, is really hard to sympathize with.

However, Hugo still patiently pulled Macaulay's hands apart. Hugo could feel that Macaulay was trying his best to hold him, but at this time Macaulay was too thin and didn't have much strength at all. , Hugo broke it apart at once, and then Hugo saw Macaulay's azure blue eyes filled with tears, which really made Hugo dumbfounded.

"Good morning, Macaulay, I'm Hugo." Hugo squatted down, trying to keep his line of sight equal to Macaulay's, but it was actually very difficult, because Macaulay's height was rather awkward. Macaulay would be too tall to squat down, Hugo would be too tall to not squat down, Hugo could only squat down with his knees supported, introduce himself with a smile, and then gently asked, "I was there before. Did you lose your job?"

Hugo was already very friendly, and he was even more popular in front of children. Macaulay nodded hesitantly, "Yes, Dad told me that it was because of you that there was no script to come to me..." Mai Cowley paused here, glanced at Kit quietly, and said with a weeping voice, "The box office of 'The Kid's Move' is so bad, it's all because of you..."

Macaulay was fifteen years old this year. Seeing a fifteen-year-old teenager crying in front of him, Hugo was really overwhelmed. This age is no longer suitable for eight-year-olds. But even so, Hugo patiently listened to Macaulay's explanation.

It turned out that Kit blamed Hugo for the fiasco of "The Kid's Move". When "Little Devil" and "Speed ​​of Life and Death" were released at the same time, Kit, instigated by the "New York Post", made outrageous remarks and made rude remarks to Hugo. The final result is known to everyone. The box office of "Life and Death" was shattering, while "Little Ghost Moves" ushered in a tragic defeat.

What Hugo didn't know was that Macaulay's last release, "Master Weiweikuo", was also defeated by Hugo. At that time, "Pulp Fiction" and "Interview with the Vampire" box office war, almost everyone. Focusing on this duel, "Master Weiweikuo" didn't even cause a wave, as if a speck of dust had fallen on the calm lake - not even a ripple appeared.

Therefore, Kit has always blamed all the faults on Hugo, believing that Hugo ended Macaulay's career as an actor. Today, the "Doomsday" public audition for child actors, Kit brought Macaulay to the door to collect interest - what's more, Kit also clearly knows that "Doomsday" can definitely be said to be the core of the topic, which is bound to cause All attention, this can also be the key to Macaulay's career restart.

After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Hugo really realized what it means to laugh or cry. He couldn't even express his anger. He was just speechless and absurd, making people sigh that the world is full of wonders!

"Hehe, if you say it like this, I have a lot of debt." Hugo said with a self-deprecating sentence, and all the staff around couldn't hold back and laughed directly.

Recalling the box office miracles Hugo has created in the past few years, if according to Kit's logic, all those box office failures in the same period should be settled by Hugo, then Hugo can almost be regarded as the public enemy of the whole people.

Macaulay didn't seem to understand what Hugo meant, and still looked at Hugo blankly. Fifteen years old, I still don't understand the situation of this society at all, I don't understand communication, and I don't understand the truth. This is actually a kind of sadness, and the sadness of family education.

Hugo took a deep breath and said solemnly to Macaulay, "Sorry, we can't give you a job, not even a first-round audition, because you don't meet our requirements. I'm looking for a son. , not... younger brother." Strictly speaking, Macaulay's age is indeed very embarrassing. He is too old to play Hugo's son in "Doomsday"; he is too young to play Hugo's younger brother. It doesn't help the plot. Therefore, Macaulay is doomed to miss the "end of the world".

"Hugo, Hugo..." Macaulay saw Hugo slowly stand up, and quickly grabbed Hugo's hands, begging bitterly, those eyes filled with tears again, making people watch It was really unbearable, especially his terrified eyes kept drifting behind him, and Kit stood aside as if he hadn't figured out the situation, which made people think of how Kit treated Macaulay.

Hugo sighed lightly, he was not the savior, he could not help everyone. It is one thing to participate in charitable activities and to help children who are suffering from illnesses within your ability; it is another thing to give Macaulay a job because of sympathy for him. A career like Macaulay fails. , There are countless actors struggling in Hollywood, Hugo himself is just an actor, he can't help everyone, and he has no obligation to help everyone.

What's more, the more than 2,000 children who are really suitable for the role who came to audition today are the protagonists of today's audition, not Macaulay. Hugo does not need to be responsible for the failure of Macaulay's career.

"Hugo," came a low voice beside him. Hugo turned his head and saw that it was Cameron. He didn't know when Cameron came over. At this time, Cameron's brows were filled with unbearable feelings, and she gently pulled Hugo's arm, "Can't you help him?"

Although Hugo knew that Cameron was just soft-hearted and was not accusing him of being hard-hearted, Hugo couldn't help choking when he heard Cameron's words. "Cameron, Hugo has no responsibility for Macaulay, you have to know this." Joseph, who was standing beside him, couldn't stand it any longer and explained.

Cameron also realized the ambiguity of his words at this time, and there was a trace of annoyance in his eyes, and he cast an apologetic look at Hugo. Hugo smiled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine, but before Hugo could speak, he heard Kit's gruff voice, "Hugo, you know you need Mike's help, you know that Mike can Attracting countless family audiences into the cinema…”

In fact, the conversation between Hugo and Macaulay just lasted for more than ten seconds. At this time, Kit finally came back to his senses and said urgently, "If you and Mike join forces in this movie, you can definitely conquer the world. Screen, maybe the box office can break records! You know this, I know this, so why don't we work together?"

Kitt's words really made people laugh and cry. He was obviously still considering Macaulay as the male lead, but this time Joseph didn't intend to give Kitt another chance to mess around, and he motioned the staff to take Kitt out. The four staff immediately swarmed up, firmly controlled Kit, and then dragged him to the door, but only after two steps did they realize that they didn't ask the real person - Roland's opinion, they were Only then did he turn his gaze back, and Roland waved his hands again and again, motioning for Kit to disappear, and then they moved again.

Kit was not willing to give up at all, and shouted angrily, "Hugo, you know this is what you owe Mike, it's all your fault, if it weren't for you, Mike's career would never end, you must give us a To be fair, you have to give this role to Mike..."

The staff dragged the unreasonable Kit to the door gradually, but Macaulay stood where he was and was unwilling to leave. He looked back at his father, then at Hugo. After hesitating, he ran in Kit's direction. past.

Seeing Macaulay disappearing at the gate, Hugo was still a little sighed. Although this is a farce, a farce that makes people cry and laugh, but the sadness hidden behind the farce makes people laugh.

Joseph had already started to appease the others at the scene, and Roland finally reacted, and hurriedly organized the restart of the audition. Even Cameron turned around and walked towards the seat, but Hugo stood there. Although Hugo returned that he did nothing wrong, he made the right choice; although Hugo knew that his thoughts were correct, he did not owe Macaulay anything... But Hugo still had some regrets in his heart, saying Unbelievable taste.

With a long sigh, Hugo turned around and walked towards the seat. Sergio took the stage and apologized to everyone on behalf of the crew, which won everyone's applause. After a simple adjustment, the audition started again, but Hugo did not have the same leisurely mood as before, and it was inevitable that he would become a little less interested.

Cameron noticed that Hugo's air pressure was dropping, and she became a little quieter. Neither of them remembered the unexpected topic about the child just now, so they just took it away. After a long time, when Cameron remembered it again and tried to explain it, she found that the time had passed. She thought about it carefully. , maybe deep down in her heart, that topic wasn't a joke... Then she didn't bring it up again.

At the beginning, Hugo only planned to stay here for about half an hour; later, because he noticed that many children were familiar faces, and his interest came up, Hugo felt that it would be okay to stay for a while; but now there is no such thing. I was in a good mood, and finally stayed for about forty-five minutes before Hugo and Cameron left first.

Before leaving the Los Angeles Grand Theater, Hugo also accepted a brief interview with reporters, and the main topic was still around the 20 million salary. For such a situation, Hugo has long been prepared, and humbly said, "Although the film company pays me, it is the movie audience who gives me this honor. Thank you for your willingness to walk into the cinema to watch my works. I can’t relax when I come down, I still need to produce excellent works to repay the support of the audience, otherwise they gave me this pay and they can cancel it at any time, right? I hope I won’t disappoint the audience.”

Hugo's polite but humorous answer made the reporters content to let him leave the scene.
