After "Before Sunrise", Hugo once again created a script, "Perfect", and the news made almost the whole of Hollywood a sensation.

Large and small production companies have cast their eyes on it, but Hugo has always kept a cool head, and he clearly knows that these production companies value not Hugo's talent as a screenwriter, but Hugo's appeal as an actor. This is a matter of course, because "Perfect" is only Hugo's second screenwriting work, but as an actor, Hugo has already proven his strong influence.

Of course, in many cases, both of these things are the same - especially when Hugo plays the leading role, which hardly has any effect. But what if Hugo doesn't play the leading actor, or even doesn't play it at all? The huge drop is clearly visible.

Hugo wanted to be able to know the line: a screenwriter is a screenwriter, an actor is an actor, these are two different jobs.

When Mark heard Hugo's answer, he couldn't help frowning, and said quite eagerly, "So, do you have any other conditions?" For Sony Columbia Pictures, "perfection" is a must-have, and it's a crucial part of Mark's plan.

Hugo thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Mark, read the script carefully. Mark looked at Hugo with a puzzled expression, obviously not understanding what he meant, "The script, read it carefully and carefully, this is my condition." After saying that, Hugo stood up and raised the coffee in his hand, "Thank you for your hospitality." Then he turned and left the café, leaving Mark sitting where he was.

The coffee in this coffee house at the entrance of Sunset Square was really bad, but it was the taste of memory, Hugo frowned, but still tasted it slowly, and then drove away from Sunset Square.

At the same time, in a building next to Sunset Square, a slender figure in a blue suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, witnessing what was happening in Sunset Square. After seeing Hugo leave the sunset square, Mark in sight took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then the mobile phone ringtone in the room broke the silence, the man picked up the phone, and then Mark's voice came intermittently, "Sir, Hugo has left...... No, Hugo didn't nod in agreement...... No, no, the conversation went smoothly, but at the end of the day, ......"

Hugo drove all the way back to Malibu, and couldn't help but think of the "perfect" script again, he knew every detail of the script well, and he was also clear about the role he created, but he never thought from the standpoint of an actor, if he really took this so-called "tailor-made" script, then how would he play the role of Melvin?

Dumping the car into the garage, Hugo unconsciously played with the car keys in his hand, and then walked in the direction of the door, at the moment when he pushed open the wooden fence, there was a timid sound next to him, "Hugo", which made Hugo pause, looked around, but did not find anyone, he thought he had heard it wrong, but after pushing the wooden fence, the voice sounded again, "Hugo!" ”

This time the voice was louder, and Hugo looked at the position of the voice, and then saw a thin figure hesitantly standing up from the small garden, carrying a worn sky blue backpack, a dirty baseball cap on his head, and a pair of big eyes looking innocently and pitifully at Hugo, looking like an abandoned puppy.

Hugo looked carefully, and really didn't recognize who it was, he already had face blindness, and the other party's baseball cap was even more uncertain. The other party also seemed to realize the confusion in Hugo's vision, took off his baseball cap, touched his hair in embarrassment, and looked at Hugo stiffly.

The person in front of him is actually James Franco!

It was so long and so long that Hugo almost forgot about the Franco family, thinking that they could go on with their lives in peace. But when he saw James, Hugo knew that there was no way to get rid of many things in his life, because it was accompanied by blood and genes, deeply imprinted in his soul.

But why did James show up on his doorstep? "What's going on?" A big exclamation mark popped up in Hugo's mind, and he looked at the figure in front of him with an incomprehensible expression, which made James even more nervous, and he hardly knew where to put his hands.

After much hesitation, James raised his right hand and waved it stiffly at Hugo, smiling awkwardly, "Hey, buddy." ”

Hugo paused slightly, and finally turned and prepared to walk down the stairs as if nothing had happened. James looked at Hugo's back, but he was completely panicked, and in a hurry, he shouted directly, "I ran away from home." These words made Hugo's footsteps stop, but he still didn't turn around, just left a back for James, "I had a big fight with my mother, I can't stand her hypocrisy anymore, I can't wait to tear off her mask, I can't even face her calmly." After the argument, I told my dad everything in a fit of rage, and then ...... The house was completely messed up, I packed a few clothes and fled straight to Los Angeles. ”

James's immature and green voice trembled in the air, and he could clearly feel his excitement and nervousness, and the irrepressible apprehension was trembling. Those messy words can't paint the whole picture, but you can feel the great impact of the great changes in his life.

In fact, even for Hugo, the surging news was almost too much for him to handle, and the truth that he had been waiting for for more than twenty years devoured him like a beast. The same change happened to James, and the truth completely changed his life, and the perfect mother figure that had always been in his mind suddenly became ...... To be realistic, this is too cruel and too ferocious for James in his adolescence.

"I can't help it...... I can't keep this secret and pretend that our family is still just as happy. "James's mind was in a mess, because it all came so fast that he was in a hurry, and all his life was shattered, and he didn't even know the ins and outs, so he came to Hugo's door, and squatted in the garden anxiously, waiting for Hugo to appear, waiting for an unknown future - even he didn't know what he was doing it for, what he was trying to find.

"Your image is always overwhelming, so that we have no room to escape, and I can see your news almost every day, and it seems to remind me all the time of what my mother has done to you. However, she always pretends that none of this has happened, as if you are just a stranger...... She treated us three brothers very well, everything was good, even better than before, she was always that perfect mother...... But I know that she regrets it, she hides in the bathroom every day to wipe her tears, she also quietly follows your news, and if you appear on TV show, she always can't help but stop and look twice...... But as soon as I show up, she pretends not to care, I know ......"

"So, what do you want?" Hugo finally couldn't hold back any longer, and turned around and interrupted James stiffly, "Need me to comfort your mother's guilt?" Or do you need me to forgive your mother's faults? Remember? I told you that you have your life, I have mine, and there is nothing between us. ”

James looked at Hugo with a stiff face in front of him, as if he had seen a flood beast, he was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, and his already chaotic thoughts were even more difficult to sort out a thought at this time, "No, I didn't ...... I didn't mean that......" James could only mutter, not knowing how to defend himself or how to calm Hugo's anger, so he could only stand in the spot.

"I don't know what you're coming to me for? If you want to seek my forgiveness, I can tell you that I don't mind anymore; But if you wish I could make more moves, sorry, I can't help it. Hugo believes that he has done the best he can and that he has no way or need to give more.

James couldn't help but shrink his shoulders, standing in place, squirming his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, and his panicked gaze didn't even dare to look at Hugo, and tried to explain vaguely, "I have all the money on me, I can't pay the money in the motel, I ran out secretly...... I, I don't know where else to go...... I don't have a place to stay, and I ...... I don't know ......."

Hugo felt a dull pain in his temples, he couldn't help but close his eyes and rub his aching head, trying to calm his mind, "Why did you come to me?" Why me? ”

James secretly raised his head, glanced at Hugo, and whispered, "Because I only know you in Los Angeles." ”

Hugo felt a tightness in his chest, he wanted to refute but didn't know what to say, he couldn't even tell whether he was angry or helpless, or ridiculous. He looked poor James up and down, but finally looked away, thinking about what he should do with the lost boy in front of him.

"Crunch", the sound of the brakes of the car tires attracted Hugo's attention, in a panic, he just subconsciously followed the sound to look over, the car has not fully heard, he saw a figure in a blue suit panicked out of the car, "Hugo......"

Hugo saw the man in front of him, and his originally chaotic thoughts became even more chaotic, "Hugo, we need to talk." The person who came said it, which made Hugo rub his face fiercely, let out a long breath, and said helplessly, "Alan, long time no see." ”
