Chapter 1136： Gentleman magnanimous

Hugo didn't expect to meet Tom Cruise here. He had never heard of Tom's name during the audition for the "Seven Deadly Sins"-otherwise the latest news would not be ignored. It was revealed that in addition to "Mission Impossible", Hugo and Tom are still competing for the lead role in another work.

"Hey, Tom!" Hugo didn't hesitate, and of course he asked the doubts in his heart, "How did you appear here? This is an accident. Did you come for this movie too?" This is Hugo. He has always been accustomed to treating people sincerely. Although he has learned how to behave in vain and guilt after experiencing countless storms, he still hopes to maintain his sincerity in the face of friends.

Hearing Hugo expressing his surprise without any concealment, Tom couldn't help but was stunned. He once imagined the situation when meeting Hugo, and worried that the friendship with Hugo would disappear-after all, this is Hollywood, no People will choose to make friends in Hollywood because it is too difficult. But Tom did not expect Hugo to be so direct, expressing the surprise without any cover.

Tom's thoughts circled in his mind, and he laughed quickly, "Yes, but not." Tom looked around, "They did invite me, but I was not interested. I heard that later You are also one of the candidates for the actor, so I showed up. I think we have some misunderstandings that need to be explained."

In the face of Hugo’s sincerity, Tom also chose to be honest. It’s easy to meet new friends in Hollywood, a Vanity Fair, but it’s difficult to maintain the friendship. Many of Hollywood’s iron buddies and good girlfriends met and survived before entering the circle. of. Tom has always believed that Hugo is a friend worthy of deep friendship, but with the outbreak of this hype incident, the two friends also had to face all the difficult problems that Hollywood friendship must face: current interests, how should they be resolved?

Hugo didn't want to wear a mask, and Tom didn't want to be a villain, so the two people just met each other, and they unabashedly mentioned the hot news that was raging during this time.

If you change to other people, you will have to treat each other politely, and then smile and say that the media are talking nonsense. If you compliment each other, it will be regarded as exposing the matter. But this kind of communication scenes has no authenticity-everyone including the person involved knows this. After the heart knot is really solved, the person knows: maybe turn around and start cursing each other, and the friendship between each other is also That's it. Because deep in their hearts, more than friendship, interest is the eternal core of Hollywood.

Hugo looked at Tom's unconcealed sincerity, and couldn't help but relax a little. To be honest, in the face of this malicious hype, Hugo will inevitably feel a little awkward when facing Tom again, not because of the negative remarks in the media-because he knows that these are all imaginary things, but because the media will two people The hype of the competitive relationship is too tight. Two people are now competing for the same role. Friends become rivals. It is inevitable that they feel strange when facing each other.

"Misunderstanding?" Hugo's mouth twitched slightly, and his smile was sketched. "I don't remember any misunderstandings. Don't tell me. You believe those words in the media are true. If so, I must apologize. ."

Tom was amused by Hugo and shook his head again and again, "No, I didn't mean that. Those reporters are ****, only fools will believe it." Although Tom didn't spend a long time with Hugo, he also knew It is impossible for Hugo to say those words, so he never doubted this, "I mean, I have to admit that behind this news incident, I also deliberately incited some, and the result was out of control. I didn't expect it either."

Tom did not explicitly say that in order to win the role of "Mission Impossible", his agent is actually fanning the flames. Unlike Hugo, Tom has a good understanding of the industry rules in this circle, and he also knows how to use these rules to put himself in an advantageous position. This time the news was out of control because of the impetus of Tom and Paramount.

Hugo did not expect such a result. Of course, he guessed that Paramount was behind the scenes, and that Tom was also contributing to the situation, but he did not expect Tom to confess upright in front of him, which made Hugo a little at a loss.

"Uh...what should I say?" Hugo smiled awkwardly. "I must say I don't like this situation. Those crows are always annoying." Hugo honestly said his inner thoughts. Come out, "But... But, I didn't stop it, did I?" When the hype just started, although Hugo did not cooperate, he did not stop it-although there are objective reasons, it is true. Therefore, Hugo cannot be left alone when things have developed to the point where they are now.

"You don't have to say anything." Tom shook his head and said sincerely, "I express my apologies to you. You are willing to nod and accept, that's enough."

"This is a huge problem." Hugo lifted Joe up with an embarrassed expression, which made Tom laugh. "But I think I'm still willing to accept it. I still remember Nicole's invitation."

Hugo was talking about the party invitation that Tom mentioned in the interview. He was using this method to resolve each other's embarrassment, and that was to expose the incident. Tom didn't react at first, but after taking a close look at Hugo's smile, he couldn't help but laughed, and nodded, "Of course, of course, Nicole is also looking forward to your visit."

It must be admitted that Tom’s frankness and Hugo’s directness dispelled the embarrassment that might have occurred between the two people. Although the media hype has become increasingly unbearable recently, the two people are also directly facing the frontal conflict of interests-"Dish Obviously there is only one role for the protagonist of the "Mission Impossible", but the duel can also become a healthy competition. The focus is still on the way the parties handle it.

"So, you are very satisfied with this script?" Hugo can feel Tom's enthusiasm. He has a certain strength for the "Mission Impossible" script. On this point, Hugo is not as good as Tom, because Hugo has too many choices, and he can't give up. Compared with Tom's desperate attitude, it is naturally much inferior.

If it were to give up among the four previously selected scripts, which could make Hugo burst out such a desperate script, which one would it be? Which script is Hugo most eager for?

Tom's eyes widened, and he pointed at the ground with a puzzled look, "This script?"

This made Hugo stunned, and he realized that they were at a small party of the "Seven Deadly Sins". He didn't specify the target of the question just now, so naturally it was a joke. Immediately, Hugo and Tom both laughed.

After laughing, Tom nodded seriously, "Yes, I am very interested in that script. I have always wanted to try works of this theme, so it is rare to meet such a heart-pounding character. It is difficult for me to look away. Open. Unfortunately, I have encountered strong competitors."

This made Hugo a little embarrassed. In front of Tom's single-mindedness, Hugo's double-mindedness seemed to be not sincere enough. Hugo suddenly realized that perhaps the reason why "Mission Impossible" was able to become a masterpiece of Tom's later career was because Tom put more emotion on the role of Ethan Hunter.

In the face of Tom’s determination, Hugo's original hesitation became firm. In the face of such an opponent, the best appreciation is not to back down to complete the opponent, but to go all out to determine the outcome. In the end, no matter what the result is, yes. The best respect for each other. If Hugo voluntarily retreats or perfunctory matters, it will be an insult to Tom, and Tom's persistence will become a joke.

Therefore, Hugo smiled and nodded, "Then you have to do your best. Recently, my situation is very good." Hugo rarely showed off, but Tom couldn't help laughing.

"Don't be too smug, the winner is the one who laughs last." Tom also seemed confident. He has such confidence. Compared with Hugo, his accumulated contacts for ten years are much stronger. Although Hugo appeared on the big screen in 1982, most of his contacts have only been established in the last three years.

There was a little spark between the eyes of the two people. The casting of "Mission Impossible" was originally just a media hype, but now Tom and Hugo have really started a duel, which makes the situation start to become interesting.

"Do you know who was the original first person for this work?" After today's business was settled smoothly, Tom's mood also relaxed, and he said casually.

Hugo noticed that Rick and Carl and Charlize had entered the house, but they also had their own social circle, so Hugo did not greet him, but looked at Tom this work? He pointed to the ground and signaled "seven deadly sins." Tom nodded and took a sip of champagne. Hugo said suspiciously, "Isn't it you?" "

This is what Tom himself said just now. The crew of the "Seven Deadly Sins" sent him an invitation, but he refused.

But Tom shook his head, "No, I'm just an additional option for them," Tom said with a smile, "Their first choice was Denzel Washington, and they hoped Al Pacino would come to play the role."

Hugo's expression at this time was very funny, because he thought it was too weird. The male protagonist of the "Seven Deadly Sins" first selected black people, but it was the old black police officer of Morgan Freeman who selected white people? And the "Men in Black" male protagonist initially selected white people, so what about the classic black and white match?

Tom's gaze drifted behind Hugo and whispered, "But Denzel rejected them. He thought the script was too bad and there was no room for it. Then, they chose me as the actor's goal... And..." Tom didn't continue.

Hugo noticed Tom's pause, and then noticed the abnormality of Tom's vision, followed Tom's vision and turned his head to look over, and then saw Brad Pitt with a calm smile accompanied by Martin Baum.
