Hanging up the phone, Hugo just sat still, a thick tiredness invaded, it was a good thing to come to Berlin, even if there were disagreements within the band, but it was only about professionalism, and it didn't really make Hugo feel irritated. But now, just after arriving in Berlin, the good mood has been ruined.

Rubbing his slightly aching temples, leaning on the head of the bed, he slowly closed his eyes, and the darkness hit little by little, making his whole body slowly relax. That moment of tranquility allowed the tense muscles to gradually stretch, and after the chaotic brain reached its extreme, only a blank space was left.

"Hugo, are you okay?" Leonardo's hesitant voice broke the silence, causing Hugo to open his eyes suddenly, and then saw Leonardo standing in the doorway, and Charlize two paces behind him. Charlize noticed that Hugo was resting just now, but now Hugo was woken up by Leonardo, and couldn't help frowning slightly, "I told you, let Hugo rest first." ”

Leonardo scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "I'm just worried." ”

Looking at Leonardo's face full of guilt, Hugo gently tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Tomorrow's lunch is on your account." ”

"No problem!" Leonardo's chest shook the sky, and he looked confident, but before he could stretch out, he hesitated, "It can't be French food, right?" "In general, French food tends to be a bit more expensive, especially around Potsdamer Platz.

Looking at Leonardo's worried expression, Hugo was still stunned, turned his head to look at Charlize, and then found a smile in Charlize's eyes, his idea was immediately confirmed, and then he found the slightly raised arc of Charlize's mouth, and then the two of them couldn't help it at the same time, and laughed out loud.

Leonardo immediately laughed as well, and the whole atmosphere suddenly turned like spring breeze and snow, and the heating in the hotel room seemed to start working at this time, and the air became warmer.

After laughing, Leonardo still asked again worriedly, "Hugo, are you okay?" It can be heard just now that Hugo and Cameron quarreled because of this trip to Berlin, and Leonardo knew that he was the culprit, so he was inevitably a little worried.

Hugo deliberately restrained his smile, looked at Leonardo with a depressed expression, patted him on the shoulder, and asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" Then he shook his head and walked outside with a sigh, Leonardo immediately panicked, and looked helplessly at Charlize on the side, only to find that Charlize also shook his head, sighed, and walked out with Hugo.

Leonardo was really panicked at this time, thinking of the tense atmosphere just now, and then thinking of the pressure Hugo has been under in recent times, he could no longer be calm, and chased him out quickly, "Hugo, I ......" But when he walked to the hall, he saw Hugo and Charlize sitting on the sofa, with smiles on their faces, which made Leonardo scratch his head, "What's going on?" ”

Leonardo's eyes turned back and forth between Hugo and Charlize, and found that the smiles on the corners of the two people's mouths actually extended to the bottom of their eyes, and the seriousness and prudence just now had long been gone, "You ......" Leonardo didn't have time to speak, Hugo and Charlize laughed, which made Leonardo have a black line, and he went over angrily and gave Hugo a kick, but was directly avoided by Hugo, and he also wanted to swing his fist, but he remembered the quarrel between Hugo and Cameron just now, and he could only give up, Frustrated, venting towards the sofa.

was troubled by Leonardo like this, and the last trace of depression in Hugo's heart disappeared. Hugo knew that there was a problem between him and Cameron, but it was a problem between lovers, and it was a problem that the two of them needed to sit down and solve it - and it would take more effort from him, even if he told his friends, they couldn't do anything about it.

"So, how does it feel to be at the Berlin Film Festival?" Hugo took the initiative to mention this matter, Leonardo and Charlize both appeared on the stage of an international film festival for the first time, and the level is very different, and the feeling is naturally different. It's as if Hugo first appeared at the Cannes Film Festival.

Charlize noticed Hugo's expression, she knew that Hugo didn't want to say more now, so she naturally wouldn't ask more, so she changed the topic along with Hugo's question, "Everything is new, I originally thought it was no different from the Golden Globes or the Oscars, but it turned out to be more like Sundance." I met a girl on the street that day, and she recognized me at a glance and enthusiastically discussed with me what she thought of the 'Before Sunrise' script, which scared the hell out of me......"

"That's it, I was on the road that day, and I actually met a fan, she said that she had seen 'a different sky', oh God, my image in it is not very good." Driven by Charlize, Leonardo's conversation box also opened, and a sentence coupled with a vivid expression immediately made Hugo laugh.

Most of the time, Hugo was a listener, he sat on the sofa and listened carefully, mainly Charlize and Leonardo, and from time to time Charlize would ask some interesting facts about Hugo's tour, and even deliberately tease Hugo with the news in the newspaper. The atmosphere couldn't help but settle down, and even the cold night outside the window softened.

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door, and then the door of the room was pushed open, and Rick walked in and saw Charlize standing in the center of the living room in an independent posture of a golden rooster, with long hair slightly messy and slightly flushed cheeks, completely looking like a tomboy; Leonardo, on the other hand, was completely on the sofa, laughing so much that his saliva was dripping, and he accidentally rolled directly from the sofa to the floor, making intimate contact with the carpet and making a muffled sound.

Rick's eyes made contact with Hugo on the sofa, and Hugo's face was also filled with a big smile at this time, and the splendor from the heart was like the rising morning light, almost melting people. Rick raised his hands in surrender, "I'm not going to ask what just happened, but ...... I know you still have a lot to say, but for tomorrow's premiere, I think you should go and rest, not to mention, Hugo and I still have some things to discuss. ”

Leonardo hurriedly got up and patted his knee, but his arm accidentally hit the coffee table, and he wailed; Charlize also immediately put his feet down, hurriedly arranged his hair, then waved at Hugo, and walked out briskly with his head down. Leonardo also grinned and hugged his arm, followed closely, and when he arrived at the door, he did not forget to add, "Hugo, I'll come back later." With that, he ran out of the house.

Rick looked back at Leonardo's vanishing back, and then at Hugo, his face full of questions. Hugo shrugged his shoulders and didn't explain. In fact, Leonardo wanted to discuss the "Titanic" with Hugo, and he recently had a lot of wonderful ideas during the filming process and wanted to share them with Hugo. But Rick didn't need to know this, Hugo directly asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”

Rick walked over to the couch, "I know you're leaving tomorrow, and you'll be going to be focused on touring for a while. So, I'd like to talk to you briefly tonight about your next shooting plans. Rick sat down and brushed the situation through succinctly.

Hugo nodded slightly, indicating that he would listen carefully. Now that he and Rick have been working together for many years, they are gradually starting to develop a tacit understanding, so he is also very relieved to leave everything related to Rick to him.

"I'd like to know if you have any special ideas for your next shoot?" The development trend of things in the past six months has not stopped at all, and the waves have come one after another. To be precise, they haven't talked carefully about plans for a new work since the Oscars ended last year. So, Rick still asked seriously.

"Uh......" Hugo also had to think about it, "I have an idea for a new script," which came to me after the last meeting with Ernst Lechmann, "but I'm working on it, and I'm still a long way from completion, so ...... Yes, I don't have any plans. ”

"Script?" Rick raised his eyebrows, this is a very important thing, but since Hugo didn't plan to say more, Rick didn't ask more, he just said "I know", and then he will keep in touch with Joseph, and then when he contacts the major film companies, he can properly let go of his style, and when Hugo completes the script, maybe there will be more investors and producers to choose from.

"Here's what I think," Rick leaned forward slightly, with a serious expression, not slacking off at all because it was just a simple communication, not only because Hugo is currently his biggest client, but also because he and Hugo are really good friends, "After the tour, I think you need to rest and adjust for a while, and then we will slowly select the script." If there is a suitable one, take the shot; If not, go on vacation until you find a script that makes you feel the urge to shoot. ”

As an agent, Rick has given almost all of his power to Hugo, and this trust is difficult to calculate.

Hugo nodded his chin slightly, indicating that he understood. Rick didn't wait for Hugo to respond, and then continued, "However, I must say hello to you, this time Berlin will not be too calm." ”

Hugo was a little surprised, "I'm only here for one day?" The subtext is, "Isn't it going to be calm just for a day?" ”

Rick nodded, a little smug between his eyebrows - very rare, because he never showed the slightest bit of smugness when he was comfortable in front of those big guys, "There are several big guys, but none of them have just said anything at the moment. I don't think they'll miss the chance tomorrow. So, I felt like I needed to say hi to you tonight. ”

With that, Rick put his briefcase on the coffee table and smiled at Hugo.
