Chapter 24 024
Hugo hesitated for a second. He was unwilling. He tried his best to fight for it, but still failed to achieve a breakthrough. He was really unwilling. But then looking at Martin and Bo in front of them, the expressions on their faces were no longer the serious expressions they had when they first came in. Their joy could be seen in the bottom of their eyes and the corners of their mouths. Hugo realized that at least his efforts were still there. effective.
Although he didn't get a positive answer, Hugo knew that he still kept hope, and the result would not be known until the end of today's public interview. In fact, this is a positive signal. Even if the person who finally won the role of Charlie is not himself, Hugo will feel that it is worthwhile, because he gained confidence through today's audition, and he knows that relying on his talent and sweat, he can Even if he fails this time, he is willing to continue to struggle. What's more, this time he hasn't failed yet, the expressions on Martin and Bo's faces are proof!
Thinking of this, Hugo was relieved. He smiled again, without any hesitation, turned around and left the conference room. Looking at Alan standing at the door preparing to notify the next interviewee, Hugo nodded slightly. , then held his head high and left confidently.
"Alan, we have already decided, haven't we?" Martin looked at the back of Hugo leaving, and he could clearly feel Hugo's emotional transition from disappointment to reinvigoration. Such a positive and optimistic Hugo once again made him more A bit of love.
Allen laughed softly, "Martin, don't worry, we still have 300 candidates to interview, don't worry." Although she is also very satisfied with Hugo, today's public interview has just begun, there is no need to be so anxious make a decision. This is Hollywood, a land that has never lacked talent.
Martin naturally knew this, and he didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Bo on his left, "Hugo seems to be a good seedling, although his acting skills are still not mature enough, there is still a lot to do. There is room for growth, but the talent is really outstanding. You say, what the hell is this 'Hudson Eagle'?"
To be precise, what Martin wondered was what happened to Hugo's past three works, one after the other, even if it was a fall, it shouldn't be at such a speed, especially when Hugo was in the audition process today. performance is even more incomprehensible.
Bo shrugged, "The script is wrong, you know, everyone makes mistakes, after all, he is still young." A bad script is very likely to ruin an actor, and many times the actor's performance is not a problem, It is the problem of the script and the director, which makes the whole work terrible, so even if the actors are excellent, it is difficult to turn the tide.
Martin sighed, he also hadn't seen "Deadly Hour" or "Hudson's Falcon" and didn't know how bad those two movies really were. But what is certain is that Hugo, who appeared in front of them today, is indeed exceptional.
During this conversation, the next interviewee had already come in, and Allen returned to his position. Martin and Bo's expressions returned to their seriousness. After a brief introduction, Allen said, "Okay, you Thirty seconds to show us what you have prepared."
Hugo left the conference room. He walked calmly towards the crowd waiting in the studio. To Hugo's surprise, the originally bustling studio was now eerily quiet, not to say that There was no sound, but everyone talked in low voices, and even just made eye contact, which made the scene full of low commotion.
Hugo's first reaction was that some big man arrived at the scene, but he looked around and found nothing. Not only that, he noticed that people's eyes seemed to be focused on him. This kind of gaze rained. Guo is very familiar, and I had it when I participated in the audition for "Dahe Love" not long ago. However, at that time, most of them were ridiculed and playful eyes, but today's eyes are more exploration and curiosity.
Hugo frowned slightly and looked down at himself. The sky blue shirt, black suit trousers and navy blue uniform jacket were nothing unusual, including no problem with the zipper of the trousers, so what does everyone's eyes mean?
While thinking about it, Hugo stepped forward again. In the crowd, Hugo immediately noticed two hateful gazes. These gazes were so hot that Hugo wanted to ignore them. Difficult, he followed this feeling and looked to the right, and soon found the figures of George Wood and William Stone, and the eyes came from them.
George retracted his chin, squinted slightly, and stared at Hugo with those eyes that could almost burn. This look is different from the previous provocation, more jealous, angry, and... unwilling. George bit his lower lip fiercely. The bloodless lip seemed to be bitten at any time. His white teeth were dyed a touch of red, and he could clearly see the tumbling in his heart at this time, not to mention The bulging blue veins on his neck and forehead make him suspect that he may become a human bomb at any time and explode directly at the scene.
Hugo didn't understand George's emotions. If it was cynicism or envy, it could also be said to be the follow-up effect of the Golden Raspberry Award, but what was this unreasonable anger and unwillingness.
The expression of William standing beside him was obviously not much better. The contradiction between disdain and unwillingness collided in his eyes, and the unease and hesitation could clearly be seen in his facial expressions. But this obviously didn't help Hugo understand the situation, he still couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, what is certain is that neither George nor William stepped forward to disturb Hugo again. Although Hugo was not worried about their provocation at all, it was always unpleasant to be bothered like this over and over again. , like a lingering blowfly. Hugo felt that this situation was very good, even if they had been smashed to ashes in their sight, but Hugo didn't care at all, so he didn't plan to further explore stones and wood, and his sight was only on The two people paused for a while, then turned away and began to look for Joseph's location.
Obviously, Joseph has been paying attention to the situation in the conference room from the very beginning, and has been paying attention to the progress of the interview, so when Hugo came out, Joseph greeted him immediately. Passing through the dense crowd in front of him, Joseph waved to Hugo with a smile on his face, attracting Hugo's attention.
"How was the audition process, is everything going well?" Joseph asked in a hurry when he was still three steps away from Hugo, but he just said the words, and before Hugo could answer, he looked around. Then he said, "Let's go out and talk, there are too many people here."
Hugo followed Joseph's line of sight and looked around, everyone turned their eyes away with guilt, and then stretched their ears to listen to the conversation between himself and Joseph, which made Hugo smile. Presumably, everyone wants to know the progress of the audition inside, so that they can make more preparations. It is a pity that Joseph killed this hope directly, and Hugo could even see disappointed expressions on the faces of many people.
The two left the studio and walked towards the parking lot. Before Joseph could speak, Hugo took the lead and asked, "Joseph, what happened to everyone just now? following me? Did something happen outside while I was auditioning?"
The corners of Joseph's mouth outlined a small arc, but the smile in his eyes was full of smiles. Hugo found that Joseph rarely smiled. Even if he did smile, it was only a small arc. It could be seen that he was not good at expressing himself. own people. But at this time, Joseph's eyes revealed his inner excitement, "It's only natural." Joseph even needed to take a deep breath to adjust his speaking rhythm, "You know what? The people waiting for the audition were stunned, everyone was wondering if you had already landed the role of Charlie, and their audition was over before it even started."
"Fifteen minutes?" Hugo couldn't help but raised his eyebrows to express his surprise, "I really didn't realize that, I think people really can't notice the changes in time and space when they are tense." In fact, Hugo He thought that he would only stay in it for five minutes at most, which is one of the reasons why he regained his confidence. Now it seems that the situation is much better than expected. No wonder the faces of the wood and stone are so ugly, and they did not come forward It's time to provoke, which makes Hugo also smile on his face.
"So, tell me, how was your audition, did everything go well? Did you already get the role?" Joseph tried his best to remain calm, but the slightly quick connection still made Hugo feel him. expectations.
Hugo shrugged, "I tried my best, and they told me to go back and wait for the news." This instantly made the excitement in Joseph's eyes quickly subside: this is not good news. But Hugo went on to say, "But I saw that the interviewers were still very satisfied with me. They said that my performance was very good, and I exchanged a lot of deep questions with them. I think this should be a Positive sign."
Joseph didn't speak. He slowed down, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and then nodded, "Yes, this is a good start." Joseph also wanted to understand at this time, today's public interview has just been At the beginning, the crew must still hope to finish the interview and make a final decision, and from the current situation, Hugo not only stayed in it for fifteen minutes - longer than all the people who participated in the interview before combined, And the whole interview process was very smooth listening to Hugo's explanation, so, this is a positive signal.
"Huh, then what we need to do is to go back and wait for the news." Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, but he could still hear the tension of his vocal cords. Before the interview results come out, everything is possible, and the process of waiting , is precisely the most tormented.
