Chapter 1653 1653 The Eve of the Tour

Although it is said that "Independence Day" is still in the show, if someone thinks about it carefully, they will find that "Independence Day" is a work in January this year, and Hugo will definitely not accept it before April next year. Shooting new works. Even if Hugo resumes filming as soon as he finishes his tour, it will be necessary to wait until the second half of next year, or even the year after, before we can see Hugo's new work being released; if things are delayed, we will continue to push it back. .

This is undoubtedly a decision worth thinking about for Hugo, whose career is in full swing.

If, in Hollywood's view, after "Independence Day", Hugo had better strike while the iron is hot and receive another work with a salary of 20 million US dollars, then no one can shake Hugo's position at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, but Hugo But it was unwilling to do so.

Of course, having said that, Hugo's current status is not caused by an "Independence Day". Starting from the distant "smell and knowing women", Hugo has come to today step by step. unshakable by others. So, even if Hugo doesn't take on any productions for a year, his status in Hollywood will not have any impact. What's more, the sensation of the world tour guarantees that Hugo won't have any problems with exposure.

However, after the tour, what kind of works will Hugo take on, this has become the most curious question for everyone. But unfortunately, even Hugo himself has no answer.

The noisy life after "Independence Day" almost made Hugo have no personal time of his own. He even had the idea of ​​regret for a time - regretted taking "Independence Day", and then Hugo realized that he was experiencing Leonardo The whole mood shift of more "Titanic". During this time, Hugo had no time to think about other issues, and Rick and Joseph also blocked almost all work calls, so Hugo did not see any script at all.

Today, the Coen brothers came to the door, and with the consent of Rick and Joseph, they just handed over the script to Hugo, and other than that, they did not discuss too many things in detail. Including "Murdering Green Toes", Hugo has no ideas or concepts for new works. At present, he has put all his energy on the tour, and just wants to complete the tour of Glory to Death first. As for other things, Then wait until after the tour is over.

Alex watched Hugo sitting cross-legged on the sofa, the script in his hand stayed on the same page for a long time without turning the page; the TV was playing the NFL game live, but obviously Hugo was not paying attention to the game—— Because the game just had a touchdown, Hugo still sat quietly in place, without any reaction.

"Why, are you still thinking about my afternoon problem?" Alex sat down directly on the single sofa on the right, holding the ice cream just taken out of the refrigerator in his hand, completely ignoring it. It looks like it's my own home, and it looks no different from when I shared a house in Sunset Plaza.

Maybe with a little difference, Charlize Theron doesn't live here now.

Hugo was stunned and glanced at Alex. After a few seconds, he realized, "No, I'm worried about tomorrow's tour."

Although Alex is usually heartless, it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. At this time, Hugo is obviously very worried and his state is not very good. He glanced at Hugo and did not expose Hugo. He smiled and said, "I thought that you would be able to deal with such a situation very well, and you would not be nervous at all. I didn't expect you to be no different from ordinary people."

"Because I'm just an ordinary person." Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth, and the smile that was not drawn at all revealed infinite bitterness, "It's like some people are good at playing instruments, some people are good at analyzing numbers, and some people are good at managing teams, I Good at creating. That's all."

Although Hugo always wanted to treat an artist as an ordinary profession, this profession was so special that he couldn't help but get lost in it. After going through the past two months, even Hugo himself has no way to say firmly: This is an ordinary profession. Therefore, the bitterness at the corner of his mouth could hardly be concealed.

"Before each performance, I would be nervous, and many times I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep, I kept drinking water, and then I kept dreaming at night. This emotion will continue until the stage, but after I actually stand on the stage , I'm not nervous at all, as if everything is justified. It's like this every time." There were countless chaotic thoughts in Hugo's mind, even when he was talking to Alex, he was a little absent-minded, even even The words carry some heaviness.

Alex looked at Hugo in surprise, and said, "But why didn't I find it?" While recalling, why didn't he notice Hugo's nervousness when he was on the Glory to the Dead tour before?

Seeing Alex's such a precious expression, Hugo couldn't help laughing helplessly, shook his head, and didn't speak. Alex recalled to himself, "Could it be that during your tour, I was filming? No, I'll go back at night."

Hugo had to say, "You were very busy during the filming of 'Happy Family', and you went straight to sleep when you came back at night, so naturally you didn't notice my situation."

Alex suddenly realized, "So, every time I come back from the set and see you and Charlize eating popcorn on the sofa, is it because you are too nervous to sleep?"

Hugo smiled and nodded, "On the eve of every performance, I always get up and go to the kitchen to drink water. Although I really want to drink coffee, I can't drink too much, otherwise it will only make me sleepless. Waking up Charlize, I remember the first time she thought a thief had entered the house and ran out barefoot with a baseball bat."

Before he could finish speaking, Alex laughed, "No wonder I went to buy a baseball bat, just because of this."

Hugo also had a smile on his face, "Yes, she also said that she lived with two men, but she was asked to think about the safety issue, and she was about to die of depression." This remark made Alex fall down with laughter. On the sofa, "I later found out that it was me, so she took a glass of red wine and sat on the sofa with me to watch TV, saying that she would wait until I was sleepy and then go to rest, but every time she fell asleep on the sofa in a daze , but I'm still so nervous that I can't sleep."

Alex gradually remembered the previous scene in Sunset Plaza, and suddenly realized, "I finally remembered, I said before, why did you often stay in the lobby late at that time, I still wonder, every day When we met, where did you come from to talk so much."

The smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth rose, and then gradually subsided. He tried to recall those nights, but he couldn't remember what he had chatted with Charlize at all. He only vaguely remembered that they said everything from all over the world, and even sometimes. Seriously discuss the boring and unnutritious topic of "is the coffee at the convenience store at the Sunset Plaza at the intersection unpalatable or the self-made coffee on the Burbank set".

But even so, those years were still vivid in his mind, and Hugo could even recall the blue moonlight all over the ground.

"Oh, I still miss the days when we lived together, and when I got home, I could always see someone waiting at home." Alex sighed, "Even a group of people shared a pizza with a glass of it. Beer, and a simple dinner like that is happy. Do you remember? Every time we and Charlize scrambled for the bathroom in the morning, we had an argument!"

"That's you, every time you and Charlize are arguing, I've always been innocent." Hugo raised his hands to show his innocence, causing Alex to scratch his head embarrassedly .

Originally, Hugo thought that he was the only one who missed his life, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case. After people grow up, they gradually become lonely. Is it because the people and things around them get complicated, or because they learn to arm themselves to protect themselves, or both. At such a moment, friends are always more important, and the success of business is accompanied by the reduction of friends. Is this an equivalent exchange?

Hugo suddenly remembered that Leonardo could hardly make new friends after "Titanic", and was unwilling to make new friends, because other people approached him with various purposes, even if Without a special purpose, they all looked at him with tinted glasses, which made meeting new people incredibly difficult. Now Hugo seems to do the same.

"Hugo, you said we all moved to your house, how about that?" Alex said excitedly.

Hugo couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Aren't you now?" Except for Charlize, everyone else basically used Hugo's villa as their home base. Treat it like your own home.

Alex couldn't help but smile and hide his embarrassment.

In the laughter, the night gradually deepened, but the dark night was covered with a halo by the sparkling moonlight on the sea. Thanks to Alex's company, Hugo seemed to be back at the Sunset Plaza. It gave him some relief from his nervousness and anxiety before the tour.

It's just that after Alex fell asleep, Hugo still didn't have any sleepiness, and there was still no way to find an outlet for his chaotic thoughts, so that Hugo himself couldn't tell whether it was because of the tour itself or because of the relationship. Cameron's Cold War, or because of the need to face the fear of the crowd, or because of something else.

Although before each tour, Hugo's sleep quality has always been poor, but tonight it was particularly noticeable. Looking at the slowly spreading night outside the window, Hugo sat quietly like this, with countless thoughts rolling in his mind, but there was no complete thought fragment at all, which made his brain extremely tired.

He took out his mobile phone and pressed Cameron's number on the number pad, but looking at the string of numbers displayed on the screen, Hugo still couldn't press the green call button, so he could only quietly look.
