The party was completely played because of the cake fight, and then the "Truman's World" boot party officially became Hugo's birthday party, and everyone began to party freely. By two o'clock in the morning, the crowd began to leave, but everyone had regained their handsome and tidy appearance, and only the observant person could notice that almost all of them were dressed differently than when they entered the party - the Sunset Tower Hotel is a hotel, a hotel that can provide showers and accommodation.

It's just that no one can know what happened at the party.

Hugo originally thought that he was not the host, Scott Rudin and Shirley Lansing were, but when he learned that a large part of the party was for his birthday, he also had to stay and thank all the guests for attending. It wasn't until half-past three that he was able to get out, and drove slowly back to Malibu, along with Samora and Joseph, "Hugo, you go in first, there are still some things in the back compartment, and I will move in with Samora." Joseph opened the door, but instead of getting out of the car, he spoke.

Hugo stopped, "Need my help?" ”

"No need, you go to rest early, you're going to fly to Miami tomorrow." Joseph shook his head, and Hugo didn't insist, "Then pay attention." "It's always a hassle to move things down the stairs. With that, Hugo closed the car door and took a stride towards home.

Originally, Hugo was going to stay in his apartment in Beverly Hills for one night, but Samora said that he needed to come back and pack his luggage, and the luggage for the flight to the crew tomorrow was not packed at all, so he still had to come back to Malibu. The three of Hugo drove back this time. At this time, Hugo felt a little dizzy in his head, and stood at the top of the stairs and stopped, on the one hand, because it was already early in the morning, and on the other hand, because he had drunk a lot of wine tonight, although he was not drunk, but the whole person felt floating, and he even felt that his eyes were a little unable to open.

A cold sea breeze blew, and the fresh air cleared up his tired brain a lot, and Hugo took a step and carefully walked down the stairs.

Walking down the stairs Hugo saw a huge black shadow in the dark hall, because it was the darkest time of the night, the hazy light of the moonlight could not be seen clearly, Hugo couldn't help frowning, his first reaction was that he was dazzled, and he didn't see clearly.

However, after bypassing the blackstone wine cabinet, Hugo found that the black shadow became clear, it looked like a pile of garbage or a tree or something, and the whole height had touched the ceiling, which made Hugo's eyebrows get closer and closer, and finally completely tangled together.

Footsteps slowly walked to the hall, but found a pile of things scattered on the ground, kicked it lightly, felt the switch on the wall, and after turning it on, Hugo stood there and froze, his first reaction was that he was really drunk.

In front of me, there was a huge mountain of gifts - literally, the colorful and colorful gift boxes were almost blinding, the large and small gift boxes were completely piled up into a hill, and the spacious passage was completely blocked at this time, so that the empty space between the hall and the kitchen disappeared completely, and the full hill filled the whole space, even the sofa in the living room and the dining table in the kitchen were completely filled. At the foot of the mountain, there are countless gift boxes scattered on the ground, piled up randomly and messily, making the huge airborne seem to be completely stuffed, and even finding a place to stay is extremely difficult.

The mountain of gifts is even bigger and more exaggerated than the mountains of gifts piled up in major department stores every Christmas. This is the picture that almost every child dreams of in his childhood, but now it is really in front of Hugo's eyes, and it is dazzling. There are at least hundreds of gifts, in all colors, shapes, and shapes, making this place look like a magical gift shop.

Hugo inexplicably felt that he had come to Diagon Alley in the world of "Harry Potter".

Standing in place, Hugo only felt that his head was a little cloudy, and he really couldn't react for a while, and he couldn't even tell whether it was because the alcohol made his brain sluggish, or because the gift mountain in front of him was too impactful, or whether it was just a dream.

Standing on the stairs, Joseph and Samora, quietly poked their heads out and looked into the courtyard, and then they saw the light in the hall, and they couldn't help but smile at each other, tiptoe down the stairs, walked behind Hugo, and shouted in unison, "Surprise! ”

Hugo was a little sluggish, so he was just a little surprised, and was not really frightened, and turned his head to look at Joseph and Samora, stunned, "This is ...... What's going on? ”

Joseph stood by and smiled quietly, while Samora excitedly explained, "We've been preparing for several days to plan today's surprise, and we've been planning it since you decided that you won't be having a birthday party this year, and it's all Leonardo's idea!" After you went to the Sunset Tower Hotel today, we stayed here, and a dozen people were busy for nearly two hours to build this hill. ”

No wonder they let him go to the hotel site first today, and didn't go with him, and he didn't see Forge and Neil when he went around Santa Monica, and he thought it was because he was too late to leave, and everyone had already arrived at the scene. Thinking about it carefully, after he arrived at the scene, he was dragged by a large group of people, and he didn't have time to find his friends, and he didn't even have time to think.

Now it seems that all this was premeditated. However, it was actually Leonardo's idea, and it seems that he hasn't had enough of his cream bath tonight.

Looking at Hugo with a stunned face, Samora was a little impatient, "Aren't you going to open the gift?" This sentence made Hugo sober up a little, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but outline, "Of course, this should be every child's biggest childhood dream, right?" When you wake up, you can see a mountain of gifts, and all the gifts belong to you. Hugo pointed to the small hill in front of him, "Are you sure it belongs to me?" ”

One sentence made both Joseph and Samora laugh.

Hugo looked left and right, and picked up a gift at hand, which was a large square box, about the size of a whole pillow, and placed on the armrest of the sofa. The box has a card attached to it, open it and look at it, it is a gift from Shirley, put the card next to it, and after opening the gift, you can see the objects inside, which makes Hugo quite surprised, it is actually a retro typewriter, a black body in the style of punk steam, outlining the golden edges, and the delicate and shiny keys are shining under the light.

It can be seen that Shirley really paid attention to this gift, and chose something full of academic characteristics such as a typewriter as a gift, which not only shows the fit for Hugo's classical literature major, but also echoes the recent highlights of Hugo's screenwriting position. It's not overly expensive, and it's not too polite, it's obviously the result of careful selection.

Hugo admits that he loved the gift.

Joseph, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sigh, "Wow, this gift is really heartfelt." ”

Hugo remembered what happened to Robert Iger today, couldn't help but nod slightly, and then put the typewriter back in the box, looked left and right, and picked up the small box next to the foot of the sofa, the brick-sized box was far heavier than expected, and he was almost about to get rid of it, Hugo quickly grabbed the box, sat on the arm of the sofa, and looked at the card, which was actually a gift from Allen.

When I opened the gift, it was actually a thick stack of scripts, and when I picked it up and looked closely, the cover was marked with "Modern. Times）”。

"Modern Times", this is one of Charlie Chaplin's most well-known works, and Hugo has previously mentioned the deep memories left by this work in an interview. Flipping through the script, Hugo became more and more surprised, if he read it correctly, this is the original script of "Modern Times", and there is still a vigorous but messy font on it, which seems to be ...... "Is this Charlie Chaplin's handwriting?" ”

Hugo was already shocked, looking at the script in his hand, he couldn't believe it, he really didn't expect Allen to send such a gift. If it is really the original script of the "Modern Times" with Chaplin's handwriting on it, then it can definitely be said to be priceless. What's more, Allen gave this gift before the filming of "Truman's World" was about to start, and the intention was self-evident, not only carefully prepared, but also seriously considered.

This gift is really too valuable.

Hugo couldn't help but be a little distracted when he looked at the script in his hand - his brain was indeed running slower now, "What's the other book below?" Samorra's voice interrupted Hugo's train of thought, and he carefully picked up the script, and sure enough, there was a worn-out book underneath the script.

This script manuscript is actually not the only gift!

The book below is very worn, and the traces of time can be clearly seen, the cover is stained with handprints, and the corners have been ground into fine hairs, but a closer look shows that it is actually very well preserved, and those worn-out folds and dirty handprints have been preserved intact along with the book.

The gilded lettering on the cover was all too familiar to Hugo," Les. Miserables", which is a French phrase that translates to "Les Miserables", was written by the great French writer Victor Hugo, and is also one of the greatest works in the history of literature, which embodies the romance, justice, faith, philosophy and profundity of French literature.

For Hugo, "Les Miserables" is not only the name of Victor Hugo, but also a favorite work of his school days.

But why "Les Miserables"?
