Chapter 1235 - Going Separate Ways
This is obviously not an easy decision, and the trade-off means that Hugo will miss out on another important role, but on the other hand, Hugo will also have a serious search. So, after making the decision, Hugo forced himself to put aside the script of "Away from the Las Vegas" completely, and then cleared his mind and focused all his attention on the script reading of "Death Row Walk".
Rick was naturally fully supportive of Hugo's decision, and there was no difference between the two works for him at all, as long as Hugo liked it, it was enough. So, Rick left Hugo to focus on the rest of the show, leaving everything else to him and Joseph, and then got back to busy.
But for Tim, this news is tantamount to great news, after he got the news confirmed by his agent, his first reaction was to call Hugo, he was simply incoherent with excitement, "Wise choice, God, smart choice...... Hugo, I'm sure you won't regret it, I won't let you regret it......"
In the face of Tim's excitement, Hugo's mood also soared, and he really moved from the selection mode to the "Death Row Walk" preparation mode, leaving "away from the casino" behind.
Even Steven Spielberg called Hugo, "The right choice, this time David can't continue to be complacent." β
Less than a month after the completion of "The Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo confirmed his new work, which is definitely a celebratory news, Leonardo, Alex and others are happy for Hugo. And not long after Hugo decided to star in "Death Row Walk", Charlize also came with the good news that she would be in the role of "Two Days in the Valley" (2. daysγ inγ theγ valley)".
This is Charlize's second work, but it is a little different from Hugo's memory, Hugo remembers that Charlize was only a supporting role in "Two Days in the Valley", but now because of the influence of "Before Sunrise", Charlize has risen to the position of heroine, and the development trajectory has also changed slightly.
"Two Days in the Valley" was produced by MGM, and they not only brought in Charlize to star in the lead role, but also brought in Jeff Daniels to partner her. Jeff is the star of "Dumb and Dumb", and he teamed up with Jim Carrey to give a wonderful performance; What is not known is that he was originally Hugo's partner in "Life and Death", and was later replaced by Hugo's friend Leonardo.
"So, when will filming start?" Charlize told Hugo the news by phone, and when Charlize called, Hugo was helping Cameron to perform the line "Death Row Walk".
Charlize was sitting on the second-hand couch at home at this time, habitually curled up in a corner, with his chin resting on his knees, "Next week, it should." Carl said that the crew was in a hurry and would start filming within 10 days at the latest, but the specific time would have to wait for further notice. At this point, Charlize paused, and said hesitantly, "Did Alex mention that to you?" β
Hearing this, Hugo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, and responded, "Well, he called me yesterday and said." He put down the script, gave Cameron a look, signaling that he needed a while, Cameron didn't say anything, just stood up and pointed to the kitchen, and went over to find water to drink. So, what are your plans? β
Charlize subconsciously retracted his arms and hugged his legs towards his chest, "Carl is helping me find a house, if I can move out within this week." β
"Oh...... You're also planning to move. Hugo dragged out his voice, and his tone was a little lower.
Charlize seemed to catch the regret and melancholy in Hugo's tone, his eyes drooped slightly, then he took a deep breath, raised his voice and said jokingly, "What, you feel sad now?" Don't forget, you're the first to move out, or Alex and I wouldn't have thought that way at all. β
Hugo was amused by Charlize and pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, "Hey, buddy, it's you guys who have been urging me to move out, don't blame me." β
Charlize also laughed, teasing Hugo and said, "The life of a big star is naturally different from ours, there is no way." β
Alex has been in Malibu for the days since Hugo moved, but "Death Island" is still being filmed, and Alex doesn't have a few days off the holidays. One night before getting ready to go back to work, Alex went home to rest, and Mr. Perfect was with him that night.
Charlize doesn't remember how the topic shifted to moving, vaguely as if Mr. Perfect said "There is only one less Hugo in the house, but it feels a lot empty", and then it caused Alex to sigh, but Charlize is not sure if this is the case. After that, though, they talked a lot.
In fact, when Hugo was still living in Sunset Square before, the three of them didn't have so much time to appear at the same time, because all three of them had their own jobs, especially Hugo, who was either touring or filming, and his time at home was very limited. But after Hugo left, the feeling was different, an empty room seemed to leave infinite space in his heart.
Then Alex said that he also wanted to move, although he was the person who lived in this room for the longest time, but now he felt that there was no point in continuing to live, "I didn't feel inconvenient to live here before, and it felt very warm to go home every day, but now it's different, maybe it's time to move." β
Charlize was a little hesitant, she was no better than Alex, Alex now has a long-term contract with "Happy Family", and he also took over the filming of "Brave Island", he is much more generous than her, but Charlize only starred in "Before Sunrise" - the salary is not high, only 200,000 dollars. Although she said that she also had the capital to move, she was still a little hesitant.
Charlize subconsciously asked Mr. Perfect's opinion, and he said, "I support your decision, as long as you like, whatever you want." Of course, if you can't adjust for a while, after all, it is not so easy to find a house, you can come to me for a while, and then move there after you find a suitable house. β
Later, it was learned that the three men upstairs were also planning to move, and that Fojin was moving to share a house with Neil, and they rented a seafront apartment in Santa Monica; Carl plans to move to the vicinity of his company in Beverly Hills to make it easier for him to work; Joseph also rented an apartment in Beverly Hills, but in the near future he would go to Malibu and work with Samora to take care of Hugo.
Charlize made up her mind, and she convinced herself that since all the familiar friends around her had left, there was no point in her staying here.
However, Charlize had no plans to move to Mr. Perfect's house, and she asked Carl to find a bachelor apartment near Beverly Hills, where it was indeed easier to work and could be reached directly by foot from the Screen Actors Guild.
So, less than a week after Hugo moved, all the friends they gathered together went their separate ways. Alex jokingly said, "There's no way, the core that brought us all together has abandoned us, what else can we do?" β
Although Hugo knew when he decided to move that this day would come sooner or later, he didn't expect it to be so soon. The partners who were originally just upstairs and downstairs are now scattered in all corners of the city. Of course, they are still in the same city, and they can meet whenever they want, as in the past few days, everyone has stayed in Hugo's villa for a long time to party, but ...... It's still different after all.
This is the stage that must be experienced in the process of growth.
Even so, Hugo was inevitably a little melancholy, even more lost than the day he moved. Hugo took a deep breath and cheered up again and said, "Since the new job is about to start, why not wait until this play is over?" β
Charlize chuckled, "One day sooner or one day later, it's not all the same." There was a bit of silence on both of them, and then Charlize broke the ice again, "Alex has gone back to the crew, but if Carl finds a suitable apartment, he will directly help him move, and he will move into his new home when he returns." I'm going to do that too, knowing that a perfect apartment doesn't wait for anyone, and you have to wait for it as soon as possible. What's more, you don't know how sought-after the houses near Beverly Hills are. β
Hugo also regained his spirits and smiled, "That's the truth, it's better to find an apartment early, you can devote yourself to shooting." Why, didn't Mr. Perfect say anything this time? β
"He said he supported all my decisions." Before Charlize had finished speaking, he heard Hugo's familiar cheering voice, "Oh God, hell God, he's boring, Jesus Christ!" Charlize immediately shouted in defense, "Yes, yes, yes, I know he's boring, but at least he's willing to understand me, that's good, isn't it?" β
Hugo scoffed, "I think he's fit to be a priest, not an actor." β
At this time, Cameron came over with a glass of orange juice and handed it to Hugo, who couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked with his mouth, "No coffee?" Cameron shook his head, made a "three" gesture, and said, "You've had three cups of coffee today, and you can't drink any more." β
Hugo pursed his lips in frustration, but still took the orange juice, and Charlize's voice came from his ears, "I'm going to pack my luggage, you know, prepare my luggage for filming, and then pack the rest." Oh yes, I'm going to have my own private space, and finally I don't have to grab the bathroom with my roommates, I have to celebrate. β
"Haha, I think at least Alex must be glad that he finally doesn't have to grab the bathroom with you." Hugo laughed.
After hanging up the phone, Charlize looked at the brick mobile phone with a busy sound in her hand, this is still the one given to her by Hugo, and she has not changed it. Sitting where he was, Charlize couldn't help but think, "yes, it's a good thing to move, I can finally be independent, it's a good thing, I should be happy." Yes, that's true. β
