Chapter 1327: A Coincidence on the Set

I don't know if it's because Hugo is on the side, Cameron seems a little too excited, his performance is a little unstable, a scene without any flaws in one go, but a scene repeatedly makes low-level mistakes, you can feel that Cameron's entire rhythm is a beat faster than usual, so that all the rhythms are slightly chaotic.

Hugo hadn't watched Cameron work on set before, but he was an excellent actor, so he also felt his influence on Cameron, so he took advantage of the break to say hello to Cameron and decided to go aside to rest so that Cameron could work with peace of mind.

Cameron didn't realize it at all, she just felt that Hugo was about to disappear from sight again, and couldn't help but be a little frustrated, and kicked the pebbles on the ground in frustration, which made Hugo laugh dumbly.

Hugo and Edward Burns only met at this time, the two had dealt with each other at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, and this time they met again, the atmosphere was also very relaxed, and after a simple politeness, Hugo turned around and left, returning the workspace to the crew.

Turning around, Hugo saw Kevin Pence, the new CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, walking beside Kevin, a tall man walking side by side.

Hugo was very surprised to see Kevin here, "Love is the Only" is a work invested by Twentieth Century Fox, but it is a complete small-budget system, and Kevin, as the supreme head of the entire company, appeared on the scene of such a work, which is obviously unreasonable.

However, when you think about it, it shouldn't be so surprising. When Twentieth Century Fox was preparing to invest in "Away from the Casino", Hugo actually learned from Rick that Kevin had a more ambitious plan for the company after taking office, obviously hoping to win the box office and awards together. Edward Burns, who won the Grand Prix at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, is clearly an independent filmmaker who is favored.

Moreover, Hugo is only here to visit the class today, and Kevin's presence here has nothing to do with him, so why should he speculate so much?

Kevin saw Hugo head-on, and he also looked very surprised, with a surprised expression on his face, "Hey, look who this is, this is really an unexpected surprise." ”

Hugo's footsteps also stopped, and a communicative smile appeared on his face, "I didn't expect to meet here again, sir." Although Hugo recognized him as the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, he still did not remember his name, and he had no impression at all.

Kevin seemed to sense Hugo's embarrassment and laughed hehe, "Kevin." Then he saw the embarrassment flashing in Hugo's eyes, "Everyone in the circle knows that Hugo is not very good at remembering names, but this is indeed a difficult thing, isn't it?" We see so many people every day. ”

Sensing kindness from Kevin's teasing, Hugo shook the other man's hand and said with some embarrassment, "Please forgive me for my rudeness." "Usually with Samora or Joseph by the side, with their reminders, Hugo is not too rude on important occasions, but today is obviously an unexpected situation.

Kevin waved his hand indifferently, then looked at the tall man beside him, and took the initiative to introduce, "Hugo, let me introduce you to you, this is Alan Strello (Alan). strelow), is a good friend of mine. ”

Pal? Hugo noticed Kevin's wording, and there are not many people who can be called that by the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

Hugo followed Kevin's introduction, and then really noticed the person next to him, because of Kevin's special words, Hugo secretly looked at the other party a little more.

He looked about six feet tall, estimated to be a little taller than Hugo, with deep facial features with the unique hard lines of Western Europeans mixed with a little bright softness, those azure eyes were crystal clear, shining under the slightly curly light golden hair, even under the slightly gray and cold sky, there was still a thrilling translucency, wide shoulders, bee waist and long legs, with a dark blue over-the-knee trench coat, the whole person was tall and handsome.

Hugo had no impression of the name, nor did he have any particular impression of his appearance, and it seemed that he was not an actor or a director or anything like thatβ€”at least not at the level of a celebrity. Strello, if you guess from the surname, is supposed to be German, at least of German descent.

Sure enough, "Mr. Lancaster, I was impressed with your performance in Schindler's List." Alan took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, a bright smile bloomed on his face, and the slightly hard facial lines were instantly soothed.

"Hope is the positive one." Hugo's answer made Alan chuckle, and the whole body exuded a light atmosphere. Hugo knew that Kevin must have special plans for the crew of "Love is the Only", so he didn't plan to continue to greet him, and said directly, "You obviously didn't come here for me, so I won't disturb your business." ”

Looking at Hugo, who was about to leave, Kevin answered, "Edward is working, and I don't think he wants us to interrupt his work like this." These words made Hugo's footsteps have to stay in place, "You came here today to ......"

Kevin asked suspiciously, but he walked over Hugo's shoulder and saw Cameron at work, and it dawned on him, "Look at my memory, I asked a stupid question, sorry." This made both Hugo and Alan chuckle.

"It seems that Mr. Lancaster is really sweet to his girlfriend, and with such a boyfriend, I guess Miss Diaz will attract a lot of jealousy." Alan stood aside, looked at Hugo sincerely, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Hugo, please call me Hugo." Hugo's cheeks couldn't help but burn slightly, and he said with a low smile, "I just came here to visit the class, and I don't remember doing anything earth-shattering." ”

"A lot of the time, it's the little things that are worth remembering." Alan said meaningfully.

Kevin didn't continue on the topic, and then said, "So, did you come to visit Cameron this time?" Or is there something else to do? ”

"No, I'm still on break." Hugo couldn't help but glance at Kevin more, in fact, Kevin spoke very casually, just chatting, but Hugo vaguely felt a little strange, although he couldn't say why.

"Rest ......" Kevin sighed in a long end, and Allen, who was standing next to him, asked directly, "Is it because of the filming of 'Death Row Walk' not long ago?" "My eyes were full of curiosity.

Such a straightforward question immediately made Kevin's expression stiffen, and he glared at Alan in embarrassment, and then looked at Hugo. Obviously, the issue is still taboo at the moment, and Kevin is blaming Allen for his faux pas. But Hugo didn't care, smiled and nodded, "Yes and no." I thought, I just need a break, after all, work isn't all there is to life, is it? ”

"That's right." Kevin immediately took over Hugo's words to prevent Alan from continuing to discuss this topic, "But you have taken a break, it is estimated that many people will be disappointed, and everyone has been looking forward to your next moves." ”

Hugo laughed directly, "Then it's a good thing for 'Death Row Walk', the movie is about to be released, isn't it?" ”

"So, are you fully recovered now?" Alan seized the gap again, and asked with some eagerness, this was obviously out of place, no matter what the occasion, not to mention, today was only the occasion for their first meeting.

Hugo raised his head and looked at Alan in some surprise, Hugo looked at Allen's blue eyes seriously, trying to distinguish whether Allen's question was good or malicious, and he was a little uncertain from his tone, but Hugo's gaze made Alan stunned, and then looked away in embarrassment, his cheeks seemed to be slightly red, he coughed lightly twice, and said in a bit of a panic, "No, I mean, I hope you've recovered, for many people, they care about your current situation." ”

"It's my pleasure." Hugo said politely, but did not answer Alan's question.

The smile on Kevin's face was a little strange, a little stiff but a little tangled, making it impossible to tell his true feelings, but after all, he was at the helm of Twentieth Century Fox, and he quickly sorted out his feelings and took over the conversation again, "So, do you plan to continue to rest next?" Don't plan to take on a new job just yet? ”

This is the second time Kevin has brought the topic to Hugo's work, although Kevin's tone is completely like ordinary small talk, Hugo still can't help but look at him more, "Hollywood's jobs are updated every day, and this situation doesn't change just because of an actor, does it?" ”

Hugo looked at him perfunctorily, and Kevin seemed to notice that Hugo didn't answer his question directly, but he didn't care, but continued to speak, "The recent box office of 'Seven Deadly Sins' has surprised many people. ”

"Trust me, so do I." Hugo smiled and raised his hands, a gesture that made both Kevin and Alan laugh. Recently, almost everyone who meets Hugo inevitably mentions the "Seven Deadly Sins", and Hugo has long been used to this.

"Now everyone is discussing, you seem to be able to do any kind of film, and our company often exclamates when we are in meetings, completely involuntarily." Kevin didn't shy away from it, and still said it casually in a relaxed manner.

Hugo smiled and shook his head, "Believe me, at least I don't dare to challenge horror movies." This sentence made Alan clap his hands and laugh directly.

Although it was not obvious on the surface, Hugo noticed that the crew's work should be at an end for the time being, but Kevin still had no intention of leaving, and still stood here chatting with him. Hugo seems to have captured a little detail in his mind, is it really an accident?
