Chapter 1314: Rare Leisure
The hustle and bustle of September has spread into October, and it has slowed down a little since November, but it is still lively, but although the Hugo incident, "apologize", "seven deadly sins", and the uncrowned king are still social arguments, people's attention has begun to shift to the following Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The heat wave wafting in the air almost makes people think that they have stayed in the northern hemisphere for a long time this summer and do not want to leave, but surprisingly, in the wave of "Seven Deadly Sins", the three leading actors Brad, Hugo and Morgan are very restrained, and even director David Fincher does not appear in front of the media so often.
David and Morgan are two personalities, they have always disliked dealing with the media, only appearing on necessary publicity occasions, and are basically reluctant to be interviewed on the show.
Although Brad's appearances are relatively many, they are only relative to his fellow crew members, and compared with the wave of bombardment of the "Seven Deadly Sins", Brad's frequency of appearance can definitely be regarded as rare. In fact, Brad appeared more often in the early stage of publicity and took on the main propaganda responsibility, but in the process of various interviews, the topic always revolves around the two cores of "Hugo" and "appearance", which is also unavoidable.
When it comes to the filming of "The Seven Deadly Sins", the cooperation with Hugo and Morgan is bound to be discussed; When it comes to the success and social impact of the "Seven Deadly Sins", the Hugo incident and the pressure of media interviews on public figures cannot be bypassed; Talking about the earth-shaking changes in Brad's life in the past year, the name of "sexy idol" is also the core idea...... But this qiē made Brad gradually start to feel pressured and gradually began to get bored, and in the back, Martin Baum accepted it when he saw it, and gradually reduced the frequency of publicity.
As for Hugo, in the early stage of the promotion of "Seven Deadly Sins", he almost disappeared, firstly, because New Line Films tried their best to maintain the mystery of "Anonymous's true face", and secondly, Hugo was a supporting role in a supporting role, and it was normal to be absent from publicity. New Line Film Company announced that Hugo still needs to rest after the filming of "Death Row Walk", which involves psychological pressure and mental illness, and it is difficult for people to find faults.
After entering the middle of the promotion, Hugo and the crew began to appear at the publicity sites in major cities, interacting with fans, communicating with local media, and cooperating with a series of basic publicity itineraries. But Hugo still refused all TV and radio interviews, including Jay Reno. Obviously, all the media wanted to talk to Hugo in depth about the topic of "losing control during the performance", but Hugo did not cooperate.
In the face of such a situation, the media wants to put pressure on Rick Rosen and New Line Films, but they are also powerless, so his career is booming, and Hugo's recent life is quite clean.
Of course, this is also only relative. Rick has been very busy, to be precise, the entire Endeavour elite brokerage company is busy, showing a thriving scene, the opportunities to cooperate with Hugo, and Endeavor elite brokerage are almost exponentially increasing, and the talent who is willing to join the company is also increasing in geometric multiples.
In just a few months, from the addition of Michael Jackson to Hugo's brilliant achievements, Endeavour Elite Agency has surpassed United Elite Agency and become the current leader of medium-sized Hollywood agencies.
Even Joseph was temporarily pulled by Rick to work as a coolie.
Behind Hugo's seemingly relaxed life, there is the bloody storm of the entire Hollywood dynasty. But none of these things have anything to do with Hugo, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, he first vacationed with Cameron in Miami for two weeks, and after returning Cameron joined the "Love is the One" crew, and Jennifer Aniston put in the preliminary preparations; Then he made a special trip to cheer for Leonardo's new film "Total Eclipse Love", not only for the premiere platform, but also to participate in several promotional dinners; After I came back, I read a few scripts, but unfortunately I was not satisfied; During this time, he also went back to Lanchez and stayed at Adam's fully built ranch for a week.
Hugo's small life was extraordinarily nourishing, and the whole person really recovered from the state of "Death Row Walk".
Today, Hugo got up early in the morning at 8 o'clock, made himself a simple toast and two fried eggs, and after breakfast, he called a taxi, and then sat on the sofa in the courtyard and listened to music for a while, and the taxi arrived.
Justin Young Yang parked the taxi in front of the villa, honked the horn to inform the owner that he had arrived, and then began to look around.
This is Malibu, the rich people who live here really know how to enjoy, they basically drive their own cars from Malibu to Los Angeles, the United States is originally a country on wheels, almost everyone has a car, so it is difficult to stop a taxi in Los Angeles directly on the street, you have to call a taxi, and Malibu is even fewer people who call a car, and you may not meet one in a quarter.
It was also the first time for Justin to come to Malibu to pick up guests, so he cautiously looked around, quite curious about who the owner of the taxi was today. At this moment, a man walked out of the side of the villa, which instantly attracted Justin's attention.
The man's tall height looked at least six feet tall and he wore a navy blue baseball cap that obscured most of his cheeks. Dressed in a simple white T-shirt with dark blue jeans, a pair of light gray low-top Vance lace-up skateboards, and an army-green satchel with a navy coat hanging over it, and an acoustic guitar in his right hand, he looked like California. institute。 of。 the。 arts). It's just that the dirty jeans and the coat that clearly looks like a blue-collar worker make it impossible to figure out if this is a scholarship student at the California Institute of the Arts.
Such a simple and even somewhat simple dress, but it makes the man look full of sunny vitality and has an indescribable charm. Justin has been driving a taxi for almost 20 years, and he boasts of reading countless people, especially in star-studded Hollywood, and he has also driven superstars like Harrison Ford, but the charm of the man in front of him still makes him look twice.
The man opened the backseat door, put the acoustic guitar in first, and then sat up himself, and took the initiative to say hello, "Good morning." The gentle and polite greeting made Justin smile as well, and he hurriedly greeted, "Please go to Santa Monica Hospital, thank you." ”
"Santa Monica Hospital ......" Justin looked at the man's face seriously from the rearview mirror, but he could only see the lower half of his face, and the shallow curvature of the corners of his mouth made people feel a little more happy, and when he heard the man's voice, he reacted, "Is it the one next to the Venetian beach?" ”
"Yes." The man nodded and looked up, Justin just glanced lightly, and vaguely saw the man's eyes hidden in the shadow of the brim, he didn't even have time to see the color of the eyes, but he just felt the brightness in the deep eyes, as if it was a shallow smile, which made people's hearts warm.
Justin quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered the handbrake, and stepped on the accelerator. Although the car has already started, Justin's eyes are always involuntarily looking in the rearview mirror, at this time the man took out a book that looked like a Wen Jiàn folder from his shoulder bag, and was flipping through it, which made Justin's inner curiosity keep rolling, such a situation is not common, but Justin can't control it.
"Sir, are you a student at the California Institute of the Arts?" Justin hesitated, then weighed his tone and spoke.
The man raised his gaze, glanced in the rearview mirror, chuckled, and instead of answering Justin's question, he asked rhetorically, "Why, you have a study in this aspect of art?" ”
Justin took the man as a default, he reluctantly looked straight ahead, focusing on road driving, but the words did not break, "I can't talk about research, I just have some interests, my hobbies are movies and music." You also know that after driving a taxi for a long time, you always need to find some pastime, you always like to study the music on the radio, and occasionally go to the cinema to relax and relax during the holidays. ”
"Radio and cinema are really easier to carry around than televisions." The man's teasing made Justin chuckle.
Justin glanced back quickly, but only saw the corners of the man's mouth slightly raised, the road from Malibu to the city of Los Angeles was the coastal road, the beautiful coastline scenery on the right quickly flashed in the eye, and the sparkling light on the seaside made the conversation in the carriage relaxed.
"Pardon my offense, I saw you brought a guitar with you, and it seems that you are also interested in music." Justin's nervous feelings eased and he said in a brisk tone.
The man chuckled, "Yes, I'm interested in music and movies. The curvature of the corners of his mouth rises high, and he looks very pleasant.
Justin immediately became excited, "It's a wise choice, movies and music are the right thing to do compared to those who are TV wrecks at home!" Justin was originally a talkative person, and at this time the conversation box finally opened, "Have you watched the recently released 'Seven Deadly Sins'?" It's really exciting, the atmosphere created by the whole movie, the refracted point of view, and the reflection it arouses, all of which make people love it. If you haven't seen it, be sure to see it! ”
The man smiled and nodded, "Of course, I've seen it, and I like it too." ”
Justin actually slapped the steering wheel directly, and the crisp sound accurately expressed his happiness at this time, "The vision is so good!" After watching 'The Seven Deadly Sins', I was completely convinced of Hugo, who played Anonymous, and if I saw him, I must pay homage to him, his performance was simply ...... Wow......"
Justin couldn't even find the exact adjective, only to sigh and sigh.
At this time, Justin was too excited, but he didn't notice that the expression of the man in the back seat was a little strange, as if he was smiling but not laughing, as if crying but not crying, he was completely crying and laughing.
