watched Hugo trot all the way and high-five all the way into the crew, and the reporters guarding the street all recorded this moment with their cameras. Although every journalist is deeply aware of Hugo's current influence, they are still amazed after each real experience.

There was once a talk show to discuss why Hugo was so popular and had such a strong appeal among the masses, even surpassing the "two Toms" - Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. At that time, the show joked that maybe it was because Hugo once cried bitterly and received his first Golden Sour Plum Worst Actor Award, which not only made Hugo's image approachable and easy to be accepted by the public; And the experience of Hugo's resurgence is inspirational and legendary. Therefore, this has won the love of the general public, even more than Tom Hanks, a representative of a typical good family and good man who is a middle-class American.

Regardless of whether the discussion on this talk show is correct or not, and regardless of the reason, the fact is that the opening ceremony of "L.A. Confidential" has once again undoubtedly become the center of attention, in the most high-profile way.

After Hugo entered the crew, the staff came up and gave him a high-five, and then he picked up the baton in his hand and motioned for Hugo to go in, and the matter of directing the truck into the crew was handed over to him. Hugo nodded, walked in briskly, and then saw David and Curtis approaching him.

"Huh, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get in, and I was thinking about what to do." Curtis had obviously never seen such a big battle, and his face was a little uneasy, but also a little excited, and he felt quite conflicted.

David also breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thank God, almost half of the crew was blocked outside and couldn't get in, and now it's finally resolved." ”

In fact, at this time, there are still two full hours before the press conference of "Los Angeles Confidential", most of the reporters have not arrived at the scene, and the crew is also making preparations one after another - today is not only the press conference, but also the set will be open for a period of time, so that reporters can stay on the scene to interview first-hand information. But who knew that the scene would become so lively, that even the most important protagonist was almost unable to enter.

"Kevin and Charlize were blocked a few streets away, and I went over to contact the traffic police to have a look, hoping not to affect today's shooting." David pointed to the still noisy crowd in front of him, and after greeting Hugo, he strode over. with politics. David is in charge of dealing with this aspect of the government, and Hugo can be regarded as solving a big problem for him today.

Curtis and Hugo walked towards the crew, the street in front of them has been completely closed, and at the end of the street is the crew's base camp, with three trucks and a trailer parked, and a huge tent next to it, surrounded by staff who are in full swing loading and unloading filming work, although it is still the street of life, but the feeling of the set has been revealed.

"Barry just called, he'll come over later." Curtis simply explained that to some extent, he and Hugo should be in the same camp, because the two want to work together to make the film well, and because Hugo is the core of the entire crew.

Hugo was not surprised by this situation, Barry did not come to control the situation on the scene, after the "L.A. Confidential" was turned on, in fact, there was not much direct contact with Barry, and even if there was an incident, he would control it remotely through David - this situation would hardly occur. But Barry still decided to come to the scene in person, on the one hand, to take the opportunity to show his importance to Hugo, and on the other hand, to take advantage of today's momentum to further expand the momentum of "Los Angeles Confidential".

Hugo nodded in understanding, and Curtis looked at the media reporters who were about to move in the other corner, "Do you want to see the reporters first?" ”

Hugo followed Curtis's line of sight, and saw the group of reporters, familiar and unfamiliar, and discovered Hugo's gaze, and everyone waved their hands vigorously, trying to attract Hugo's attention. Hugo just smiled and beckoned, and had no intention of walking over, "It's a press conference in a while, don't rush." What's more, after the press conference, it is estimated that these reporters will still pester him for a while, so there is no need to go over and greet them now.

The two of them walked straight to the base camp, and saw Heath Ledger and Russell Crowe from a distance, standing on the side of the street with nervous but expectant eyes, their eyes fixed on Hugo, these two actors, also from Australia, had found a common topic not long after they joined the crew. Obviously, they wanted to come forward and say something to Hugo, but when they saw that Hugo and Curtis were communicating, they didn't dare to step forward easily, and then they watched Hugo pass in front of them, and the two of them glanced at each other, and immediately chased after them in a panic, and followed not far behind.

Curtis looked back at the two actors who were following the same pace, looked at their anxious but overwhelmed looks, turned his head to look at Hugo, and wanted to stop talking, but he still couldn't hold back after all, "Hugo, aren't you going to communicate with them?" ”

The corners of Hugo's mouth outlined a perfect arc, "I want to enjoy the feeling of being adored." This sentence made Curtis stunned, and then saw the serious look in Hugo's eyes, and then realized that Hugo was joking, and couldn't help laughing.

Hugo was joking, but he was also partly telling the truth.

Although it is said that a long time ago, Alexandre Lorraine expressed his appreciation for Hugo's performance, and even admired Hugo; But now the meaning is completely different, Hugo has now become a model for actors under the age of 35, and it has also become a reason for many young people to go to Hollywood and fall in love with movies. It's as if Hugo was thrilled and excited when he met Steven Spielberg, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn and others.

It's a wonderful feeling, a little exciting, but also a little apprehensive. Obviously, he is just an ordinary person, just an ordinary actor, not Jesus, not Guanyin, not Allah, but being respected, worshipped, and admired by others, this is an honor, a burden, and an honor, and it feels really complicated.

At this time, Heath and Russell finally couldn't hold back any longer, and ran in front of Hugo at a trot, which made Hugo and Curtis's footsteps stop, Russell took a deep breath and showed a smile, "Mr. Hansen, good morning." Then he turned to look at Hugo, who was standing next to him, "I suppose this is Mr. Lancaster, right?" ”

Russell was three years older than Hugo, so he tried to keep his composure, pretending to be calm and calm, and dealing with the normal etiquette of a social situation.

In fact, after Russell finished speaking, he was a little apprehensive. He was wondering if it would be more appropriate to let Curtis be the middleman, and it seemed a bit presumptuous to introduce him like this. But seeing Hugo also showed a polite smile, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Crowe, I'm Hugo Lancaster." ”

This made Russell panic, looking at Hugo's outstretched right hand, he was actually stunned, he didn't know what to do, he glanced back at Hiss beside him, but without waiting for Hiss to react, he looked at Hugo again, and then held Hugo's right hand, "Russell, please call me Russell." Nice to meet you. I just watched 'The Seven Deadly Sins' a while ago, and your performance is really wonderful. ”

Russell's nervousness was almost all-encompassing, Hugo could even feel his right hand trembling slightly, this uncontrollable mood reminded Hugo of the situation when he had just crossed over, that freshness, that sense of unease, that sense of expectation, became a huge motivation for him to keep moving forward.

"Russell, Leo and I mentioned you, and he said he was a little jealous of you because your acting talent is so good." Hugo said with a smile.

But this simple sentence made Russell's face flush slightly with excitement, "Leo, Leo said before that he wanted to introduce me to you, but he has not been able to fulfill it." I didn't expect that I had such an honor to co-star in a work with you, and I was really flattered. ”

"Haha, what if I said that the reason why I recommended you to the crew was because of Leo's introduction?" Hugo's words made Russell's pupils dilate slightly, and he was a little overwhelmed with excitement. It is unimaginable that Russell Crowe, who will dominate Hollywood in the future, is even a few years older than Hugo at this time, but he is like a little fan chasing stars, nervous and excited.

Hugo's vision was out of sight to see Hiss who was standing next to him a little cramped, and then took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, "Heath, it's nice to see you again, you have successfully won this important role." ”

Heath is actually a little worried, because there are many rumors about Hugo in the circle, the most famous of which is that Hugo has a hard time remembering other people's names, and he has some face blindness. Therefore, every time they meet, if Hugo shows strangeness, it is not because he is impolite, but because he is really weak in this regard. Today, Heath has been worried that he and Hugo have only met twice, Hugo doesn't remember his words, what should he do, introduce himself again? Or should an attempt be made to awaken Hugo's memory?

When he heard Hugo call his name accurately, the smile on Hiss's face instantly shone with infinite light, "Sir...... I mean, Hugo, it's really nice to meet you. I can't wait now, I mean, to see you live...... Of course, I'm also looking forward to my own performance. Heath said incoherently.

Hugo chuckled and turned to look at Curtis beside him, "It's nice to be young, isn't it?" ”

Curtis has three black lines on his forehead: the world-famous Hugo Lancaster Chinese New Year's Eve.
