Chapter 34 034 Arrive at the Crew

Hugo couldn't wait for Charlize's call back, and he called again the next day, and this time it was Terra who answered that Charlize was out to dinner. But this time Tyra also conveyed Charlize's message, "She said, she's fine, don't worry about her."

In this sentence, Hugo did not figure out what the taste was. It sounds like a response to his verbal message, and it also expresses Charlize's understanding of his behavior of leaving without telling him, but he always feels that there is something unusual in his words, but Hugo doesn't know whether this anomaly exists or not. his own crankiness. However, Hugo breathed a sigh of relief after being able to get Charlize's understanding.

Hugo will not deny his good impression of Charlize. He feels that Charlize must have similar feelings to himself, otherwise the two of them would not have so many follow-up developments that night, so Hugo still does not want to be destroyed by an accident. all of these. Of course, the future development of the two depends on the next process to know. Originally, Hugo planned to ask Charlize to come out again, but the call of the "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" cast made Hugo have to start preparing himself. The first work to be filmed.

Although Joseph is an agent who has only changed careers for less than 18 months, with the big tree of the International Innovation Management Company, Joseph has made rapid progress, both in terms of connections and adaptability to work. After the audition results for "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman" came out, Joseph completed all the signing work in less than two days, making Hugo truly a member of the "Scent and Knowing a Woman" crew. The next day, the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" asked Hugo to go to New York, and the filming was about to start.

This opportunity was won by Hugo with all his strength, and it was also the best opportunity for him to break through the current predicament. He naturally didn’t want to screw it up, not to mention, he was also going to play against Al Pacino. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not occur frequently. Therefore, Hugo had to devote himself to the pre-production preparations, not only fitting, taking pictures, but also character understanding, acting skills, etc., which also made Hugo almost have no time to rest in the three days before and after. Not to mention calling Charlize.

When everything was ready, Hugo didn't seem to recover, he and Joseph sat on the plane to New York (New. York).

Joseph looked at the slightly nervous Hugo on his right, and thought that Hugo was worried about the article in the "Los Angeles Times" today. After thinking about it, he comforted him, "Don't worry, after you enter the crew, you just need to do well. You can do it yourself. Those newspaper reviews can't decide anything." Keeping your actors in a good state of mind is also part of an agent's job.

Hugo's eyes fluttered around unconsciously. Everything in the cabin of the plane was so unfamiliar to him. It wasn't that there was anything special about the structure of the plane, but the dark blue printed seat cushion and silk white shirt. The flight attendant's uniform with a big red suit and vest is full of a strong retro style of the 1990s, which is really unbearable.

Hearing Joseph's words, Hugo couldn't help but regain his attention, and used a smile to cover up his actions just now, "What's the matter, what did the newspaper say again?" Hugo realized that he was confused before he said the words. Oh, you mean 'Los Angeles Times,' I only read one headline this morning, and haven't read the content, what's wrong?"

Today's headline in the Los Angeles Times is Woody Allen and his adopted daughter. Lun's latest progress, the twenty-third edition reported that Hugo officially signed a contract with the "Scent of a Woman" crew. The news headline read, "Wrong Choice", obviously not agreeing with the final decision of the crew. And not only the "Los Angeles Times", most authoritative media have a negative attitude towards Hugo's appearance this time. Obviously, the after-effects of the Golden Raspberry Award are still affecting Hugo's actor career.

Joseph realized that Hugo was just distracted just now, not nervous at all, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Nothing, don't worry."

Hugo picked up the "Los Angeles Times" on his knees, which he took when he boarded the plane, and continued to say, "The reporter who wrote this article today is the same one from last time. He has a relationship with our company. What is involved, why can you see him in every report?"

"You mean Nicholas? If there's anything involved, he won't find fault with you again and again." Joseph knows more or less the sources of these reports, the reporters, and this is part of his job. For more serious negative news, he must also be responsible for contacting reporters, minimizing the negative impact or even withdrawing the news.

In fact, after the work in this area is refined, it is the public relations agent who is responsible for it. This is the professional. But now Hugo can only be regarded as a fledgling, and has not reached the level of a public relations agent, so Joseph temporarily takes full responsibility for it. .

The reporter Hugo just mentioned, whose full name is Nicholas. McCallum, is a professional reporter for the "Los Angeles Times". He wrote the follow-up report on the Golden Raspberry Awards before, and the audition for "Love in the River" failed. The report also signed his name. It can be seen that he did not have a good impression of Hugo, and every report was full of cynicism. This time is no exception. Nicholas is obviously not optimistic about Hugo's prospects in the "Scent of a Woman" crew, and even expressed concern about the entire movie.

"I thought I stole his girlfriend, but I've only targeted me over and over again." Hugo teased with a smile, and then turned his attention to the newspaper in his hand, but he couldn't find the newspaper in his hand for a long time. A "wrong choice" report, and why Hugo felt that the newspaper was not right, he could only mess around.

Just as Hugo was thinking about it, Joseph next to him said coldly, "You got it the other way around."

Oops. Hugo's movements immediately froze in place. It turned out to be the case. He said that the bold font and the position of the picture were so strange. He couldn't help but chuckle twice to hide his embarrassment, and then pretended to be calm and turned the newspaper upside down. This was immediately more pleasing to the eye. His confusion has never been corrected. Fortunately, it is only a small problem. He has never been sloppy in the general direction, otherwise it will be troublesome.

While Hugo was reading "The Wrong Choice", the plane was about to take off. Today is the day they leave Los Angeles for New York, because most of the filming of "Scent and Knowing a Woman" will take place in New York, and some scenes will be in New Jersey (New. Jersey) and Boston (Near New York). Boston) for filming. Feeling the plane begin to taxi, Hugo looked away from the newspaper and looked out the window.

Looking at the city of angels getting smaller and smaller in sight, the color outside the window gradually faded from thick ink and heavy colors, and finally turned into a clear azure blue, just like a drop of ink in clear water, from thick to light, that slightly dizzy The open colors do not have a thrilling beauty.

From Los Angeles to New York, this journey spanned the entire United States, which took more than five hours, from the west coast to the east coast, enjoying a completely different regional style, but at the same time it was a long flight, long enough to make people feel Cityscapes that vary greatly in the same season. Although it is still January, and the entire northern hemisphere is in winter, the bright sunshine on the west coast always easily makes people forget the coldness of winter, but this time the east coast greeted Hugo with a heavy rain, telling Hugo clearly: Although the East Bank and the West Bank are the same country, there are huge differences in the customs.

When the plane landed at JF. Kennedy. International. Airport, the cityscape beyond the sun visors was obscured by rain curtains, leaving only a hazy, thirty-five-degree Fahrenheit (two-degree Celsius) ground in sight. The temperature made Hugo nostalgic for the sunny 65°F (18°C) day in Los Angeles before he left the plane.

When he didn't come, Hugo suddenly became nervous. The confusion in his mind made him have to turn his attention to the continuous rain and fog outside the window. The breath of winter was mixed in the rain and slammed on the ground. A bunch of splashes. In fact, compared to the collaboration with Al Pacino, Hugo's heart beats at the thought of the upcoming shoot.

Near nostalgia, that's probably the case. I have always dreamed of being able to stand upright and perform in front of the camera, but when the opportunity really came, I was swayed by nervous emotions. The quality of this masterpiece "Women"...

"You can do it, you can do it, you can do it..." On the way after leaving the airport and taking the yellow taxi, Hugo had no intention to look at the world's largest city. His eyes fell on the rain screen but did not Any focal length, because he is constantly hypnotizing himself, he must believe in his own strength, but also in his persistence and perseverance, so that he can find a stable corner from the tense emotions, so as to prepare for the upcoming shooting. be ready.

"It's here." Joseph's voice interrupted Hugo's thoughts. Hugo turned his head to look to the left of the taxi, and then saw a waiter in a knee-length trench coat holding an umbrella and walking to the taxi Next to the car door, the car door was opened, and the umbrella was placed above the car door. Hugo stepped out of the car and was wrapped in the umbrella. The surrounding rain screen blocked New York from the outside. Hugo curled up in a small world made of umbrellas. inside.

Walking to the door of the hotel, the waiter put away the umbrella, and the curtain above his head disappeared. Looking back, the high-rise buildings in New York immediately came into view. Clearly realized: "Smell the fragrance and know a woman" crew, here I come.
