Chapter 57 057 Shared Apartment

Compared with the depression of Ron Mayer and Richard Gere, Hugo and Joseph's mood is obviously like the sunny beach in Malibu in June. This may be the biggest good news after the Golden Raspberry Awards. It can even be compared with the success of the audition for "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", because this is the first time in the past two months that the media has given Hugo a large number of positive comments.

Even if these positive comments are all about appearance, even if most of these comments are from Hugo and Uma, this is still a positive signal, and it also means that Hugo is in the trough of the Golden Raspberry Award. After that, I was taking small steps and moving back on the right track. This is the most gratifying part.

Originally, Joseph just planned to increase the exposure of Hugo, gradually repair the relationship with the media, and try to make the positive image of Hugo appear in newspapers and magazines as much as possible. Maybe attending a premiere will not have direct economic benefits. But in the long run, this will be of great help to Hugo's public image, not only can it improve Hugo's impression among major producers, but also when works such as "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman" are released in the future, Joseph will Contacting public relations work will be smoother.

But what is surprising is that when Hugo attended a premiere, he achieved the effect that others could only dream of. Not only did he blow up the real protagonist of the premiere, Richard Gere, but he also blackened his competitor "Ben." "Can", completely dominated the entertainment front page of the second day, which is really unexpected.

Hugo made a special phone call to Paul Jonge Witt to thank him. This time Paul's help can definitely be called timely rain. It not only solved a major problem for Joseph, but also unexpectedly made Hugo an unprecedented positive. repercussions.

"So, what I said, a handsome suit is absolutely necessary." Even Joseph, who usually doesn't respond much, rarely seemed to be lively today, and the faint smile could be felt in his words.

Hugo looked at Joseph's brow full of joy and curled his lips, "That's four thousand five hundred dollars. If it doesn't work, I will return it." One sentence immediately made Joseph's expression freeze on his cheeks, and he was stunned. He was so stunned that he had nothing to say.

The excellent follow-up effect brought by the "Final Analysis" obviously needs to be fermented over time before it can be revealed. Hugo is still temporarily without work, which also allows Hugo and Joseph to relax again. This time, Joseph was not in a hurry to find a job for Hugo. In view of Hugo's current situation, work should focus on quality rather than weight. After the premiere, Joseph's mood gradually calmed down.

Taking advantage of this period of free time, Joseph and Hugo found a new place to live, which was very important for both of them. Two big men were crammed into the same space, not to mention the bad accommodation before. It is troublesome to say that neither of them has personal space.

Although Hugo now has a small amount of money, considering that he still does not know where his next job is, he should not spend it, so the new residence Hugo did not want to live in a bachelor apartment, but let Joseph find it. A shared suite with three bedrooms and two living rooms, Hugo rented one of them and shared the rent with the others. For such a large suite, the surrounding environment is definitely better, the security conditions are also more secure, and because of the shared rental relationship, the cost will not be too high.

Joseph originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince Hugo to share a lease. After all, Hugo was the leading actor in three movies before. Although the salary was almost squandered by Hugo, it was easy to change from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to frugality was difficult, not to mention It is very humiliating to ask the "male protagonist" Hugo to share a lease with others. Surprisingly, after Joseph made this suggestion with difficulty, Hugo nodded and answered without much hesitation.

Once again, Hugo impressed Joseph again.

In fact, for Hugo, sharing a lease with others is not difficult at all. In the past, when Glory died at its worst, he used to sleep on the street, and he also rented a large room in the basement shared by 20 people. After experiencing such a life, It's no problem accepting a bright and spacious suite to share. What's more, the suite that Joseph was looking for was not high-end, but it was already very good.

The famous Sunset Boulevard is one of the famous landmark routes in Los Angeles. Just like the name of this road, when the sun sets in the west at dusk, the golden sun lazily sprinkles the whole street. At this time, driving on this road seems to be I am heading to the heaven in my heart, and let everything around me be inlaid with beautiful gold, so beautiful that it is unreal. The Hollywood Boulevard (Hollywood. Boulevard), which gathers famous attractions such as the Chinese Theater and the Walk of Fame (Hollywood. Walk. Of. Fame), is actually parallel to Sunset Boulevard, so after the day trip to Hollywood, go down the mountain The direction goes south along Hollywood Boulevard. After three small intersections, you can walk to Sunset Boulevard. Then go west along Sunset Boulevard and run towards the beach. Soon you can see a small square with a strong European style. , Here is called Sunset Plaza (Sunset. Plaza).

Above the Sunset Plaza, there are many open-air bars, coffee shops and ice cream shops scattered here and there, among which you can also see many famous brand stores, even if you just sit here and enjoy a leisurely afternoon, blowing the sea breeze, bathing in the carefree atmosphere Lazy sunshine, admiring handsome men and beauties, happy like a fairy, it is definitely a good place for recreation. If you go two miles further, it is the famous Beverly Hills.

Stopping at Sunset Square, heading towards the hill behind the square, walking up the not wide road, you can vaguely see two-person tall holly bushes scattered on both sides of the road. The tall and short residential buildings are hidden in the green trees, breathing the air mixed with the smell of sea water and soil, it is easy to make people feel relaxed.

On this hillside, there are many good-quality and cheap apartment suites, but they are all old houses of some years, so the rent is not high. The price of a three-bedroom, two-bedroom house ranges from $1,200 to $1,800. Floating between, whether with furniture, how the scenery, new or old decoration, etc. may affect the rent price.

Joseph, with the help of company colleague Rick Lawon (Rick. Lawon), found a new house for Hugo. The house is halfway up the hillside. The khaki exterior looks unremarkable, but The surrounding environment has been greatly improved. Not only are there no homeless people everywhere, but the garbage everywhere is basically invisible. Although it is not neat and clean, it is refreshing and generous.

Go up the third floor along the slightly dark stairs, push the room away, and the first to enter the line of sight is a garage-style hall. The navy blue cement wall has no embellishments, but after the house is built, it is painted with the most basic layer. The wall opposite the door is a full-face window, the sunlight can be cast in without any obstruction, and at the same time, you can clearly see the scenery outside the window, the shady trees and bustling streets under the mountain have a panoramic view, while in the distance The azure blue sea and the white sandy beaches are also impacting the beauty of sight.

There is a simple low wooden cabinet on the left hand side, with nothing on it, just a remote control, but there is no shadow of the TV. Opposite the wooden cabinet is a maroon sofa set, but it is a shabby turtle. The cracked skin clearly shows the age of this sofa.

Compared with the humble corner on the left, there are no bright spots in the middle and right side of the hall. A huge long woodworking table is placed abruptly in the center, and even thin burrs can be seen on it. Do any painting work, and then there's a piano behind the long table -- a dilapidated look that even makes one wonder if it's functioning properly.

There is a cubicle on the right side, and I can tell it is the kitchen just by looking at it, but there is nothing but a frying pan on the stovetop, and the dining room is naturally outside the cubicle. Unfortunately, there is only one huge and heavy piece. The irregular marble is placed on a solid wooden shelf, above which a wobbly light bulb hangs alone. There's finally an appliance to be seen here, a two-person refrigerator standing in a corner against the kitchen, but the almost peeling surface outside and the greasy wires on the floor also cast doubt on the functioning of the refrigerator.

There is a red wooden door in the corner of the restaurant away from the gate, and when you open the door, there is a single room, but there is nothing but a mattress. On the left-hand side of the hall - between the low wooden cabinet and the door - there is a corridor that penetrates into it. When you walk in, you can see two bedrooms on the right side and two rooms on the left, the larger one is the bathroom , and the smaller one is the storage room.

Pushing open the doors of the two bedrooms, the one near the hall is obviously inhabited. There are simple items such as beds, desks, and wardrobes. There are also a lot of messy clothes stacked on the beds. It was not cleaned up, the papers on the desk were scattered horribly, and the boxer shorts with the red gorilla painted on the ground at the door showed that the owner of this room should be a male.

The room close to the inside is the same as the room on the right side of the hall. There is only a dilapidated mattress in it, but the color of the door of this room is log color, and it is not painted red. Walking into the house, the wall near the sunset square is also connected to a large glass window, and the scenery that can be seen in the hall is also clear in the bedroom.

Although the decoration here is almost zero, and every detail of the interior shows the dilapidation here, but the spacious space of nearly 3,000 square feet (280 square meters) and the breathtaking sea view, but Fascinating, not to mention a much cleaner and safer environment than the previous residence.

So, after watching the environment here, Hugo agreed to Joseph's proposal without any hesitation and decided to move here!
