1805 Chapter 1805 Admiring Eyes

Watching Hugo trot all the way and clapping all the way into the crew, the reporters guarding the street corner all recorded this moment with their cameras. Although every reporter has a deep understanding of the powerful influence of Hugo at present, after each real personal experience, they still cannot help but be amazed.

A talk show once discussed why Hugo is so popular and has such a strong appeal among the masses, even surpassing the "two Toms"-Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. At that time, the show joked that maybe it was because Hugo had received his first Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor in tears, which not only made Hugo's image approachable and easy to be accepted by the public; The experience of re-emergence is full of inspiration and legend. Therefore, this has won the love of the general public, even surpassing Tom Hanks, the representative of the typical good family and good man of the American middle class.

Whether or not this talk show discussion is correct, and whatever the reason, the truth is that once again, the opening ceremony of "LA Confidential" is undeniably the center of attention, in the most high-profile way possible.

After Hugo entered the crew, the staff came up and gave him a high five, then he picked up the baton in his hand and signaled for Hugo to go in, and it was up to him to direct the truck into the crew. him. Hugo nodded, walked in quickly, and then saw David and Curtis walking towards him.

"Huh, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to come in just now, and I was thinking about what to do." Curtis had obviously never seen such a big battle, and his face was a little uneasy, but he was also a little excited, feeling rather contradictory.

David also heaved a long sigh of relief, "Thank God, almost half of the crew was blocked outside and couldn't get in. Now it's finally resolved."

In fact, there are still two full hours before the launch press conference of "LA Confidential", most of the reporters have not arrived at the scene, and the crew is also making preparations one after another—today is not just the press conference , and the studio will be open for a period of time, so that reporters can stay on the scene to interview first-hand information. But who knew that the scene would become so lively that even the most important protagonist almost couldn't get in.

"Kevin and Charlize were blocked a few streets away. I went to contact the traffic police to see if it would affect today's shooting." David pointed to the still noisy crowd ahead, and fought with Hugo. After saying hello, he strode over. and politics. David is in charge of dealing with the government in this area, and Hugo has solved a big problem for him today.

Curtis and Hugo walked towards the crew. The street in front of them has been completely closed. At the end of the street is the base camp of the crew. Three trucks and a trailer are parked, and there is a huge tent next to it. All the staff are busy loading and unloading the filming work. Although it is still a street of life, the feeling of the set has been revealed.

"Barry called just now, and he will come directly later." Curtis simply explained that, to a certain extent, he and Hugo should be in the same camp, because the two want to work together to make the movie well, It is even more because Hugo is the core of the entire crew.

Hugo was not surprised by this situation. Barry didn't come here to control the situation. After "LA Confidential" started, he didn't have much direct contact with Barry. Even if something happened, he would come through David. Remote control - this is also almost never the case. But Barry still decided to come to the scene in person. On the one hand, he took the opportunity to show his importance to Hugo, and on the other hand, he also hoped to use today's momentum to further expand the momentum of "LA Confidential".

Hugo nodded to express understanding, and Curtis looked at the media reporters who were about to move around in another corner, "Do you want to meet the reporters first?"

Hugo followed Curtis's line of sight, and saw the group of familiar or unfamiliar reporters, and found Hugo's line of sight. Everyone waved their hands vigorously, trying to attract Hugo's attention. Hugo just waved with a smile, and had no intention of walking over, "The press conference will be in a while, don't worry." What's more, after the press conference is over, it is estimated that these reporters will pester him for a while, so There is no need to go and greet them now.

The two walked straight forward to the location of the base camp, and saw Heath Ledger and Russell Crowe from a distance, standing on the side of the street awkwardly but full of expectations, their eyes were fixed on Hugo. The two actors, who are also from Australia, have already found a common topic not long after they joined the crew. Obviously, they wanted to go up to Hugo and say something, but seeing that Hugo and Curtis were communicating, they didn't dare to go forward easily, and then they watched Hugo pass by them. The two glanced at each other, and immediately chased after them in a panic, not far or near.

Curtis looked back at the two actors who were following suit, seeing their anxious but at a loss, turned to look at Hugo, hesitated to speak, but still couldn't hold back, "Hugo , aren't you going to communicate with them?"

A perfect arc was drawn at the corner of Hugo's mouth, "I want to enjoy the feeling of being admired." This sentence made Curtis stunned, and then he saw the serious look in Hugo's eyes, and then realized Hugo was joking, so he couldn't help laughing.

Although Hugo was joking, part of it was actually true.

Although a long time ago, Alexander Lorraine expressed his appreciation for Hugo's performance, and even worshiped Hugo; but the meaning is completely different now, Hugo has now become the first choice for actors under the age of 35. The model has also become the reason why many young people go to Hollywood and fall in love with movies. Just like when Hugo met Steven Spielberg, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, Katherine Hepburn and others, the excitement and joy were indescribable.

This feeling is actually very strange, a little excited, but also a little apprehensive. Obviously I am just an ordinary person, just an ordinary actor, not Jesus, Guanyin, or Allah, but to be respected, worshiped, and admired by others is an honor, a burden, and a This kind of honor is really mixed.

At this moment, Heath and Russell finally couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to Hugo at a trot, which made Hugo and Curtis stop involuntarily. Russell took a deep breath and smiled, "Mr. Hansen, good morning." Then he turned to look at Hugo who was standing beside him, "I think this is Mr. Lancaster, right?"

Russell was three years older than Hugo, so he tried to keep his poise, put on an air of composure, and behave with the normal decorum of a social occasion.

In fact, after Russell finished speaking, he was a little apprehensive. He was thinking about whether it would be more appropriate for Curtis to introduce him as an intermediary. It seemed a bit rash to introduce him so rashly. But seeing Hugo also showed a polite smile, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Crowe, I'm Hugo Lancaster."

Instead, Russell panicked. Looking at Hugo's outstretched right hand, he was stunned. He didn't know what to do. He glanced back at Heath beside him, but before Heath could react, he looked at him again. Hugo, then held Hugo's right hand, "Russell, please call me Russell. Nice to meet you. I just watched 'Seven Deadly Sins' not long ago, and your performance is really wonderful."

Russell's nervousness was reflected in almost all directions, and Hugo could even feel his right hand trembling slightly. This uncontrollable excitement reminded Hugo of the situation when he just crossed over, the freshness , that sense of unease, that sense of anticipation, has become a huge driving force for him to keep moving forward.

"Russell, Leo and I mentioned you, he said that he was a little jealous of you, because your acting talent is really outstanding." Hugo said with a smile.

But this simple sentence made Russell's face flush slightly with excitement, "Leo, Leo said before that he wanted to introduce me to you, but he has never been able to fulfill it. Unexpectedly, I have such a I am truly flattered to be honored to be in a production with you."

"Haha, what if I said that the reason I recommended you to the crew was because of Leo's introduction?" Hugo's words made Russell's pupils dilate slightly, and he was a little overwhelmed with excitement. It's hard to imagine that Russell Crowe, who will roam Hollywood in the future, is even a few years older than Hugo at this time, but he is like a little star chasing fan, uneasy and excited.

From the corner of Hugo's eyes, he saw Heath standing beside him a little awkwardly, and then he extended his right hand, "Heath, I'm glad to see you again, you have successfully won this important role. "

Heath is actually a little worried, because there are many rumors about Hugo in the circle, the most famous one is that Hugo has difficulty remembering other people's names, and he also has some prosopagnosia. Therefore, every time they met, if Hugo showed a sense of strangeness, it was not because he was impolite, but because he was indeed weak in this aspect. Today Heath has been worrying all the time, he and Hugo have only met twice, Hugo can't remember what he said, what should he do, should he introduce himself again? Or should I try to wake up Hugo's memory?

When Hugo called out his name accurately, the smile on Heath's face instantly burst into infinite light, "Sir... I mean, Hugo, it's really nice to meet you. I can't wait now , I mean, I look forward to watching your performance live... Of course, I also look forward to my own performance." Heath said incoherently.

Hugo chuckled lightly, then turned to look at Curtis beside him, "It's nice to be young, isn't it?"

Curtis has three black lines on his forehead: the famous Hugo Lancaster is thirty this year.
