Chapter 40 040 Passing By

Nicholas's interview was finally delayed by 30 minutes, which made the filming of the crew have to postpone the schedule, but this is also the first reporter interview after the filming of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", so it is not a problem to delay some time. Not only the two main actors Al and Hugo, but also the main creators including Martin and Bo also accepted simple interviews, which can be said to be the first wave of publicity for the film.

Due to the delay of the interview, the scene shot at the Pierre Hotel was filmed until ten o'clock in the evening, and Martin called out with satisfaction.

Hugo followed most of the staff back to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Al watched Hugo chatting and laughing with everyone. He stood beside him and looked at him curiously. Hugo thought something was wrong with him, so he couldn't help but He asked, "What's wrong?"

"You are twenty-three years old?" Al didn't answer Hugo's question, but asked an irrelevant question uncertainly.

"Twenty-five." Hugo replied, this was also the fastest thing he accepted after crossing over. He was the same age before crossing over, and he is still the same now, which made his psychological adjustment not in any situation. .

"Young man." Hugo couldn't help laughing at Al's words, but in front of Al, he was indeed a child, "Isn't it time to go out to play at your age? New York, this is a city that never sleeps. The town of Gotham is colorful, and you can't experience that unknown style when you stay in a hotel."

Only then did Hugo understand. It turned out that Al was obediently returning to the hotel after filming, not like a young man who likes to play, "Actually, my heart is already in Greenwich Village at this time. ), but, you know, there are still many opportunities to enjoy life three hundred and sixty-five days a year, but opportunities to work don’t come every day.”

If Hugo really wants to play, there is still a lot of time after the filming of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", so he is not in a hurry at all. Now is working time. Since it is work, you must devote yourself to it. Play hard when you play, and work hard when you work. This is the right thing to do.

"Besides, didn't Martin keep telling me to meet at seven o'clock tomorrow? I don't want to go to the scene without enough sleep, and then fall asleep during the shooting." Hugo said with a smile, and this relaxed tone made Al unable to help himself. laughed.

"If you dare to fall asleep while filming, I'll be the first to let you go." Al said fiercely, but it had no effect, making Hugo burst into laughter.

The elevator stopped on the 23rd floor. Hugo, Joseph and others all lived here, and they walked out. Al, Martin and others lived in the luxury suite upstairs as a shooting location, and they needed to continue to ride. elevator. Hugo said good night to the staff one by one, and then walked towards the end of the corridor with Joseph.

At this time, the door of a room in front of him opened, and a man and a woman came out. The two were not particularly close, as if they were ordinary friends, but ordinary friends walked out of the hotel room together. This incident There is a trick in itself. Hugo didn't intend to look at the other party, after all, this was just someone's private life, but he noticed that Joseph's eyes drifted over, he thought it was someone Joseph knew, and he looked over subconsciously.

The man in front of him was a completely unfamiliar face, with neat short hair, he looked about forty years old, and a straight iron gray suit showed the demeanor of a successful person.

The woman standing next to her was dressed in a black work suit, a white shirt with suit trousers, and finally a long black trench coat. The simple and neat combination outlined her capable and mature temperament. Although she was wearing a suit, she was proud of her The curve is still hidden, and the tightness of the buttons directly in front of the shirt can be clearly seen. Comparatively speaking, that face is not an unusually glamorous appearance, with ordinary facial features, but it is because of the smugness between the eyebrows. The charming atmosphere makes it look different.

This woman vividly interprets what is called "aura overshadows appearance". Maybe her facial features alone are not outstanding, but standing there is easy to attract people's attention, and it is easy for men to praise She is a beauty, not a courtesy, but a fact.

The point is that this woman Hugo knew, and his predecessor must be more familiar, Tracy Jacobs.

Hugo really did not expect such a scene, although he knew very well who Tracy was, and although there were many reasons for the failure of the audition for "Love in the River", Hugo was doomed to fail before the audition. It was Tracy. given. Hugo had met Tracy once before: before the audition for "River Love", she was seen with Brad on the fifth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. But at that time Hugo didn't know the relationship between his predecessor and Tracy, so today was the first time Hugo and Tracy met in the real sense.

Unexpectedly, Hugo saw Tracy appearing in the hotel again, leaving the room with a man, no matter what they did in the room, such a coincidence was too embarrassing, and people had to imagine. But this time was different. Hugo took a good look at Tracy.

Tracy is seven years older than Hugo, and the physique of Western women makes this age difference infinitely magnified, but Tracy's special temperament has subtly concealed this, making her look at all There is no sign of being "old". Hugo couldn't help thinking, was his predecessor and Tracy together, was it a simple exchange of interests, or did he give his true feelings? Hugo remembered the meaningful look Tracy gave him the last time they met on the fifth floor of the Four Seasons Hotel...

Tracy also saw Hugo and Joseph fifteen yards away from her. She was not familiar with Joseph, but she was more familiar with Ron Mayer.

Tracy looked at the Hugo in front of her in detail, and had to say that Hugo was recovering well - she naturally knew that Hugo sucked. Poisonous, but now Hugo doesn't seem to be decadent at all, not only not, but on the contrary, he looks full of energy. Hugo was originally a handsome young man, but at this time, he was even more like a pine and cypress, as gentle as jade, which made people unable to take their eyes off.

But Tracy's eyes only stayed on Hugo for a while, and then took it back, as if nothing had happened. The man standing next to him asked in a low voice, Tracy chuckled lightly, nodded, and replied, "But that's all history." The voice of the girl's voice was higher, so she could hear it more clearly , but the man's voice was even deeper, so it was vague and inaudible at all.

Joseph looked at Hugo with some worry. He seemed to be worried that Hugo would overreact, but Hugo's performance was beyond his expectations. Hugo pouted, and there was a hint of disdain at the corners of his mouth, and then he said: Looking at him again, he continued the topic just now, "I don't think Nicholas seems to have much malice today..."

Joseph was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and kept up with Hugo's pace and continued to move forward.

At the same time, Tracy and the man also walked over at a steady pace. It looked like they were going to take an elevator. The two talked and laughed. Although they were not loud or intimate, they had a good conversation with each other. The atmosphere is very good.

The two sides got closer and closer, until they crossed side by side. Tracy glanced at Hugo from the corner of her eyes, but found that Hugo was still indifferent and did not respond at all. However, Tracy immediately regained her attention, and walked forward without any pause in her footsteps, and then the two groups of people passed by like this, without conversation, pause, or even eye contact, as if Complete strangers.

Hugo once again recalled the mixed look in Tracy's eyes when he looked at him last time, but it was different today. Tracy looked at him like a complete stranger, even a little disdainful. Hugo couldn't help sighing, and he didn't know what happened between his predecessor and Tracy, so he couldn't make a judgment. However, judging from the information he has learned so far, it seems that Tracy has abandoned her predecessor. The reason is most likely that her predecessor has failed in three consecutive works, either because her predecessor gave up on herself, or Tracy felt that her predecessor There was no future for development, and eventually they broke up.

Hugo looked back with an exploratory attitude, and found that Tracy did not look back, and disappeared at the end of the corridor with steady steps.

Hugo's action was seen in Joseph's eyes, but he couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and Hugo's next question deepened Joseph's inner thoughts.

"So, who was that man just now?" Hugo's question made Joseph give him a deep look, which made Hugo feel inexplicable, "Why, can't I ask this question?"

"No." Joseph opened the door of the room and confirmed that he had closed the door before he said, "That man is a middle-level member of Universal Pictures currently in charge of production."

"Universal Pictures?" Hugo thought for a while, "Isn't this the producer of our movie?" Thinking of this, Hugo suddenly became sharp, and the failure of the audition for "Love in the River" is still vivid in my mind." Is it..."

Joseph immediately shook his head, "How powerful are you, Tracy, who can cover the sky in Hollywood with one hand." Although Tracy is a very good producer and has an unimaginable network of contacts, but She is not yet a top-level figure, and does not have the ability to call the wind and the rain. "I guess Tracy has some good projects in her hands. I want to talk to Universal Pictures."

Hugo thought about it carefully and knew that he was thinking too much. Not to mention producers, even the CEO of a top film company does not have the ability to completely block an actor; on the contrary, if an actor has enough strength, both the film company and the producer will Abandoning former hatred and demanding cooperation.

"I don't know what they're talking about." Hugo dropped a word indifferently, leaving Joseph dumbfounded, and strolled to the bathroom to wash up.
