Chapter 1403 1403 Potential child star
Looking at the little guy in front of him, Hugo couldn't help but exclaim, walked forward two steps, then squatted down and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, man, I'm Hugo Lancaster."
Tom and Carl, who were chatting, did not notice Hugo's appearance. At this time, they heard Hugo's voice and were startled. Then they saw Hugo's movements, so they both smiled and watched. Xiaobudian looked up at Tom, then turned his head and frowned and said, "Mom told me not to talk to strangers."
Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Hey, stranger, I have introduced myself. If you tell me your name, we are not strangers." Hugo looked at the little girl's aura in front of him seriously, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly, "Look, Tom is standing next to him. He hasn't taken out his cell phone to call '911' yet, which at least means that I'm not a bad person, right?"
The little Buddian was not convinced by Hugo, but lowered his head and thought seriously in silence, then raised his head to look at Tom. Tom was still making trouble at this time and said with a smile, "If you need it, I can call '911' now." It made both Carl and Rick laugh out loud.
Xiao Budian still didn't make a decision immediately, but turned his head and looked at Hugo carefully, as if he wanted to see some clues from Hugo's eyes. Hugo also widened his eyes, making the smile in his heart slowly overflow. Then he saw Xiao Budian's mouth curve upwards bit by bit, "I think you shouldn't be a bad guy."
After making a serious judgment, Xiao Budian held Hugo's right hand that had been in the air for a long time, and said, "Hello, my name is Haley.joel.osment, I'm very happy to know you."
Haley Joe Osmon, when he mentioned this name, many people would be very unfamiliar with it. It seemed that he could not compare with a child star like Macaulay Calkin. But this is not the case. Macaulay was once very popular, mainly due to the chain effect of "homebody". From movie box office to family video rental, most Americans have seen this work. In Hollywood where interests are paramount, it has naturally gained countless pursuits. This is also the influence arc hidden behind the pure digital interests of "box office".
Macaulay's greater achievement is that it opened a new theme. In the early 1990s, films with children as the protagonists emerged one after another, becoming a new way for major film companies to plunder the box office. Therefore, in terms of influence, Macaulay, like Xiulan Deng Bo, occupies a leading position in film history.
But in terms of box office and results alone, Haley's achievements far exceed that of Macaulay.
A movie "The Sixth Sense of Supernaturalness (the.private xth.n color)" and a movie "Artificial Intelligence (a.i:artificial.intelligence)" are enough to make Haili famous in history.
The "Supernatural Sixth Sense" not only swept the box office of 290 million US dollars in North America. This achievement far exceeds the "Hometown" achievement, but also has been unanimously sought after by Hollywood. Haley even won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor with her superb performance. You should know that the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor has always been a nursing home, mainly commending senior actors. Haley, who was only twelve years old, was able to win the nomination, and his achievements were even more amazing than Anna Paquin, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the age of twelve.
"Artificial intelligence" is a work that Stanley Kubrick never completed during his lifetime, and was eventually taken over by Steven Spielberg. Although this work only achieved a box office of 78 million US dollars in North America, it won 235 million yuan in box office data around the world. For science fiction movie fans, this is an indelible important work in film history. Haley once again contributed an amazing performance!
It can be said that simply speaking of box office results, Haley is far superior to the box office data of Macaulay's "Home Imperial" series and other similar derivative works. What makes Haley even more outstanding is that his acting spirit and talent make the whole Hollywood exclaim, and even the conservative and demanding academy judges were impressed by him.
But the main reason why Haley's influence is not as good as Macaulay is the relationship between the times. Macaulay almost emerged in the early 1990s; but by the late 1990s, the times were different, and people's attention to child stars dropped sharply. Moreover, these two works by Haley are not the kind of family joy, and their additional influence in business is far inferior to Macaulay.
But even so, Haley still wrote his own miracle in the history of films. His acting talent at a young age is amazing, especially his performance in the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", which is the best among child stars.
Unfortunately, Haley also experienced the dilemma that all child stars will face: when they become adults, the transformation and connection between childhood characters and adult characters is the so-called transformation pain. How many popular child stars have fallen below the threshold of transformation, even more difficult than actors finding a place in Hollywood.
The simplest example is the three starring actors in the "Harry Potter" series. After leaving this series that lasted for ten years, the three actors struggled constantly to get rid of their child star image and to get rid of the shackles of fixed images in the "Harry Potter" series. Until 2014, their transformation could not be considered successful.
Even Emma Watson, who was the best-developed, chose to go back to school temporarily, and frequently attended fashion and charity occasions, creating an elegant and noble lady image, becoming a fashion leader, and completing a gorgeous turn. However, the film's results are still lacking, which is fatal to the actors.
The same is true for Haley. In 2003, he was in confusion after he was fifteen years old, and he was never able to break free again, and was submerged in the rising stars in Hollywood who were unable to escape.
It is worth mentioning that for the first time Haley lets people know his name, "Forrest Gump", in which he plays the son of Forrest Gump and Jenny.
Looking at the clever and sensible Haili in front of him, Hugo felt a little sighed. Not only did he sigh that Haili had not grown up and had not grown up, but after becoming an adult, Haili developed more and more horizontally, from his face to his body. His originally not obvious or deep facial features remained in his original position, which turned out to be a tragedy. But Haili is still so spiritual, cute and cute, and his well-behaved appearance is really likable. He even sighed that he had seen Macaulay a few days ago, and today he met Haili, who had not yet reached the peak.
"So, we're going to work together next?" Hugo suppressed his inner sigh and looked at Haili, who was still slightly ignorant in front of him, and showed a friendly smile.
Hailey's caterpillar-like eyebrows squirmed slightly, her confused eyes with a little curiosity, "So you want to work with me? What's your role?"
Carl, who was standing next to him, smiled without giving him any face, "Man, it seems that you are not that famous either."
"Tom, is he very famous?" Haley raised his head and asked childishly.
Tom, who was named, shrugged, "Uh, yes, you can say that. But I think it's more important that you can learn from him when you act opposite him."
But Haley frowned and had a new question, "So, is he a very outstanding actor?"
"Yes, he is a very outstanding actor." Tom replied with a smile, which made Hugo clapper himself, and said, "This is a shy compliment." It made everyone around him laugh.
Hailey turned her head, bit her lower lip, thought seriously, and reached out her right hand to Hugo, "Very good, I hope our cooperation is pleasant."
This man's big move made Hugo chuck again, but he did not look down on him, but solemnly stretched out his right hand, "Thank you for your approval, I will work hard!" Haili actually nodded seriously, as if saying "I understand", which made the people next to him laugh so hard.
Hugo then stood up again and said to Rick, "Whose decision? Excellent choice, although I think he far exceeds the needs of the character." Although it is still several years before the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" is released, he can already feel Hailey's maturity and sensibility, which is very necessary for child actors.
"Sergio, he thinks this child will definitely not disappoint you." Rick said simply, making Hugo nodded repeatedly. He is worthy of being a partner who worked with "Schindler's List" and knows Hugo's requirements very clearly. "So, what do you think?" Rick and Carl pulled Hugo aside, while Tom took Hayley to find his parents.
Hugo knew what Rick meant, and he looked at Carl, "You know, the biggest problem of a child actor is career planning. Are you mentally prepared?" After Hailey grew up, his agent obviously did not plan his future development strategy. He just took one step at a time, and as a result, he ruined a seedling with talented acting skills.
Just like Daniel Radcliffe, after leaving the role of Harry Potter, he couldn't wait to break the audience's fixed impression and starred in a series of bold and extraordinary roles. First, it made the audience unable to slow down and the sense of identity was always too high; second, he himself was fixed on those extraordinary roles, and it was very difficult to regain the track.
Carl nodded, "But it's my first time dealing with a child, so I don't know how to control it, so I still need to explore it slowly." Carl's personality is originally cautious, and he has always been a main actor. You can tell by looking at the development trajectory of Alex and Charlize. In fact, it is a suitable choice for him to accept child stars. "You mean, he is worth it?" Carl heard traces of affirmation from Hugo's words.
Hugo nodded for granted, "Yes, he's excellent." It's simple and clear.
