Hugo and Samora returned to the scene of Paiduì, and just after they appeared, they saw Roland Emmerich oncoming on, "Hey, you're here." Samora gave Hugo a look, then turned away with her plate in hand, leaving the social space for Hugo. Roland walked over quickly, although there was no smile on his face, he could obviously feel that his mood was very relaxed, "Just now, there were several people asking where the protagonist is today, you have to come and meet this person......"

Hugo and Roland walked side by side, there were people nodding and greeting Hugo along the way, and even reporters asked to take photos with Hugo, the scene didn't look like a boot-up ceremony at all, but more like a celebratory duì, Hugo didn't have time to talk to Roland in detail, and spent most of his time dealing with enthusiastic and active friends.

A distance of less than fifty yards, the two of them walked and stopped, stunned for nearly twenty minutes to arrive, Hugo didn't have time to ask who Roland had to introduce to him, he saw Kevin Pence standing not far away, today as the host, Kevin also seemed very relaxed, especially the victory over Columbia Pictures, and at the last moment to complete the signing with Hugo, and also played high, and beat Mark Canton off guard.

Kevin was also surrounded by stars, representatives of film companies, editors of news media, and executives of brokerage companies were all around him, Hugo thought that Kevin was going to introduce the executives of other companies to him, and the polite smile on his face had just been sketched, when he saw a tall figure like a pine and cypress walking from Kevin's side, and his steps were in the direction of Hugo, and Roland also took the initiative to win.

Who's this?

Hugo only felt that his head was full of question marks, and the man in front of him looked a little familiar, but his brain was blank at this time, and the unfamiliar impression could not arouse any associations at this time.

The other party looks like he should be a highly educated upper class, with a shallow warm smile on his face, and some kindness in the sunshine, but he maintains a polite combing under his eyes, which makes people feel close but not too intimate. With the black plum coat, the ivory white shirt did not match a tie or bow tie, but every button was buttoned properly, and there were some prohibitions faintly outlined in the neat and neat manner. Lust's style, a light blonde curly hair neatly combed into two or eight equal parts, a burly figure and broad shoulders with some winter cold, outlined a tough temperament under the reflection of the morning sun.

Hugo always felt that he should have met each other, and although he had many friends and now participated in many upper-school duì, Hugo's more friends could not be considered real rich people. The intersection between those upper-class people with rich family backgrounds and the entertainment industry is still relatively small. So if Hugo really met, he would inevitably leave an impression, and the man in front of him was like this.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Lancaster." The man gracefully stretched out his right hand, and his kind smile softened the slightly jerky atmosphere a lot.

Hugo was stunned, he really couldn't wake up any memory in his brain, but he was already very skilled in dealing with these occasions, and quietly expressed his etiquette, "Good morning, thank you for coming here today, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

But the other party was stunned, and then lowered his head and laughed, the corners of his mouth that completely bloomed made Hugo even more puzzled, Roland, who was standing on the side, wanted to introduce, but the other party raised his hand to stop Roland, raised his head and took the initiative to say, "This is the second time we have met, the last time was in the crew of 'Love is the Only One', when I went to visit with Kevin, we met once." It's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Lancaster, and I'm Alan Strello. ”

The smile on Allen's face gleaked with understanding, and it was clear that it was no secret that Hugo couldn't remember his name, and he had heard a little about it.

Hugo couldn't help but smile awkwardly, holding Allen's right hand and shaking it up and down slightly, frowning in annoyance, "Although my friends say that I should go to the doctor for treatment, I always insist that I am not sick, and today's events prove that maybe neuropaths are so persistent." ”

Hugo's calmness and sincerity made Alan laugh directly, and Roland, who was standing on the side, also laughed, "When Alan arrived at the scene just now, I heard him mention that he and you haven't officially met after our project was confirmed, which is not good news, as the behind-the-scenes investor of our crew, if I don't see the actor, Allen's check may not be cashed." Originally, Roland wanted a little humor, but he didn't talk much, and his words were boring and had no humorous effect at all.

"No, of course not, after coming to Hollywood, I heard a lot of rumors about Hugo, and I knew that he was a dedicated actor, so when I wanted to invest in a movie, he was my absolute first choice. Even if Hugo didn't come to visit me, I would have taken the initiative to find him. Allen's words were very decent, free-flowing, humble and polite, with a little bit of ridicule.

Although both are German, Allen and Roland are clearly two styles. Obviously, Allen, as a businessman, is much more comfortable with such occasions.

Hugo's mind was turbulent at this time, and he now knew that Allen was actually the behind-the-scenes investor of "Independence Day", that is, the clapper with a salary of 20 million. Hugo didn't know why Rick didn't mention it to him, but Hugo understood in an instant, Kevin and Allen didn't go to find Edward at all, just to spy on his fiction and reality.

"Wow, I hope I'm worthy of that check, or I'll lose a lot." Hugo had a lot of thoughts in his head, but he didn't pause in his mouth, and he replied with a smile.

Alan still held Hugo's right hand and pressed a little, "Then let's look forward to the return on this investment." ”

"Hey, Hugo, you're here." Rick's voice came from behind him, and he saw the other people standing on the side, greeted them one by one, and then said, "I was going to say that you haven't seen the little actor until now, so let you go and meet him, but now it seems that we should have a clear order." Rick's tone is relaxed and lively, and the subtext is that the behind-the-scenes investors are more important.

Alan reacted immediately and let go of Hugo's right hand, "No, work is important, Hugo hasn't met the young actor yet, of course this is the first priority, if Hugo is not satisfied, we can change the actor again, we all hope that this is an excellent work, don't we?" The bright smile on Allen's face was as bright as the sun, "As for us, we can talk slowly in the future, it's a long shooting process, isn't it?" ”

"As far as I know, our crew is locked down to the outside world, but if you have any special cases, I will leave this question to Roland to answer, so, I think you can have a good talk." Hugo also replied with a joke, which made everyone laugh, and then Hugo and Rick turned to leave, and Hugo lowered his voice and said to Rick, "Why didn't you tell me that Alan is the behind-the-scenes investor?" ”

"I asked you last time, don't you know him?" Rick also frowned slightly, he turned his head, and saw Alan and Roland who were still standing in place, their eyes still fell on Hugo, Rick patted Hugo, and the two turned around at the same time to say hello, and Alan also raised the champagne in his hand to signal.

Turning his head, Hugo pursed his lips speechlessly, "My bad." Alan is the one who appeared with Kevin last time on the 'Love is the One' crew. Without further ado, Hugo and Rick exchanged glances. Rick always felt that the cooperation of this "Independence Day" was still missing a piece of the puzzle, the whole puzzle was basically completed, but even the last piece was missing, and Rick was not sure whether this piece was a corner or a center.

As he spoke, Rick stopped with Hugo, Carl Earl was talking to Tom Hanks, both of them looked very relaxed, Rick stood on tiptoe, trying to shorten the height difference between him and Hugo, and then whispered in Hugo's ear, "That's the child actor we finally selected." ”

Hugo followed Rick's line of sight, and a little pot friend stood beside Tom, standing obediently, without much movement, and his small eyes were shining brightly, looking around cautiously, like a clever little squirrel.

"Tom's son?" Hugo raised an eyebrow in surprise, remembering that Tom must have had four children, the eldest being Colin Hanks, born to Tom and his ex-wife. Hanks), who will also become an actor in the future, but he is not the right age, he is eighteen years old this year; Tom and Rita Wilson have three children, the eldest is a daughter, Elizabeth; The second child, Chester Malone, (Chester Malone) Marlon was born in 1990 and is five years old; The third child was born at the end of October last year, and Hugo also took part in his baby bath. shower）。

Chester is suitable for age, but if Tom intends to let his son star in "Independence Day", he doesn't need to audition at all, and mention to Rick and Kevin, the so-called audition audition is not necessary at all. Hugo was a little confused.

Rick was stunned, then reacted to Hugo's meaning, and shook his head with a smile, "No, Tom didn't plan to let his child enter the entertainment industry - at least not a child star," As for the child growing up, Tom opened up the choice for the children to decide for themselves, "That child was auditioned, and he used to cooperate with Tom ......"

Hearing this, Hugo's eyes suddenly lit up, he remembered the corresponding candidate, Rick knew that Hugo would definitely not remember the name, so he nodded his chin and said in Hugo's place, "That's right, it's the one you think, the little guy who played Tom's son in 'Forrest Gump'." ”
