72_72291Although "Independence Day" is still in theaters, if someone thinks about it carefully, they will find that "Independence Day" is a work in January this year, and Hugo will definitely not take on new works before April next year. Even if Hugo takes over the film as soon as he finishes his tour, it will inevitably wait until the second half of next year, or even the year after, to see Hugo's new work released; If there is a delay, it will have to be pushed back again.

This is undoubtedly a decision worth thinking about for Hugo, whose career is in full swing.

If in Hollywood's view, after "Independence Day", Hugo had better strike while the iron is hot and take on another work with a salary of 20 million US dollars, then no one can shake Hugo's position at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, but Hugo is unwilling to do so.

Of course, having said that, Hugo's current status is not caused by an "Independence Day", starting from the distant "smelling a woman", Hugo has come to this day step by step, and his status is stable and noble, which is difficult for others to shake. Therefore, even if Hugo does not take on any films for a year, his status in Hollywood will not have any impact. What's more, the sensation of the world tour guarantees that Hugo will not have any problems in terms of exposure.

However, after the tour, what kind of works Hugo will take on has become the most curious question for everyone. But alas, even Hugo himself did not have an answer.

The hustle and bustle of life after "Independence Day" almost left Hugo with no personal time for himself, and he even had the idea of regretting it for a while - regretting taking over the filming of "Independence Day", and then Hugo realized that he was going through the whole process of Leonardo's "Titanic" love transformation. During this time, Hugo didn't have the heart to think about other issues at all, and Rick and Joseph also blocked almost all work calls, so Hugo didn't see any script at all.

Today, the Coen brothers came to the door, also with the consent of Rick and Joseph, and just handed over the script to Hugo, and did not discuss too many things in detail other than that. Hugo has no ideas or concepts for the new production, including "Murder of Green Toes", and at the moment he is focusing all his energy on the tour, just wanting to complete the glorious to death tour first, and as for other things, it will wait until the tour is over.

Alex watched Hugo sit cross-legged on the couch, the script in his hand stopped on the same page for a long time, without turning the page; The NFL game was playing live on the TV, but it was clear that Hugo wasn't paying attention to the game - because the game had just been touchdown, and Hugo was still sitting quietly, unresponsive.

"What, you're still thinking about my afternoon?" Alex sat down on the single couch on his right-hand side, holding the ice cream he had just taken out of the fridge in his hand, completely treating this place as his home, and it looked no different from when he co-rented a house in Sunset Plaza.

Maybe there's a little difference, Charlize Theron doesn't live here right now.

Hugo was stunned, glanced at Alex, and only after a few seconds did he react, "No, I'm worried about tomorrow's tour." ”

Although Alex is usually heartless, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything, at this time Hugo is obviously preoccupied, and his state doesn't look very good, he glanced at Hugo, and didn't poke Hugo, just said with a smile, "I thought that you were already comfortable dealing with such a situation, and you wouldn't be nervous at all, but I didn't expect that you were no different from ordinary people." ”

"Because I'm just a normal person." Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth, and the smile that was not outlined at all revealed infinite bitterness, "It's like someone is good at playing musical instruments, someone is good at analyzing numbers, someone is good at managing teams, and I'm good at creating." That's all. ”

Although Hugo has always wanted to treat entertaining as an ordinary profession, this profession is so special that he can't help but get lost in it. After the events of the last two months, even Hugo himself has no way to say with certainty: this is an ordinary profession. Therefore, the bitterness at the corners of his mouth could hardly be concealed.

"Before every performance, I would be nervous, many times I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep, I kept drinking water, and then I kept dreaming at night, and this kind of love would continue until I was on stage, but when I actually stood on stage, I was not nervous at all, as if everything was a matter of course. Every time. Hugo had countless chaotic thoughts in his head, and even if he was talking to Alex, he was a little absent-minded, and even his words were a little heavy.

Alex looked at Hugo in surprise and said, "But why didn't I find out?" While recalling, why didn't he notice Hugo's nervousness when he toured to the death before?

Seeing Alex's expression as such a living treasure, Hugo couldn't help but laugh helplessly, shook his head, and didn't speak. Alex recalled to himself, "Could it be that during your tour, I was filming?" No, I'll go back in the evening. ”

Hugo had to speak, "You were very busy during the filming of 'Happy Family', and you went straight to sleep when you came back at night, so naturally you didn't notice my situation." ”

Alex suddenly realized, "So, every time I come back from the crew, I see you and Charlize sitting on the couch eating popcorn, is it because you're too nervous to sleep?" ”

Hugo smiled and nodded, "On the eve of every performance, I always get up repeatedly to go to the kitchen to drink water, although I really want to drink coffee, but I can't drink too much, otherwise I will only be more unable to sleep." Then she woke Charlize up, and remembered the first time, she thought that there was a thief in the house, and ran out barefoot and brandished a baseball bat. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Alex burst out laughing, "No wonder I went to buy a baseball bat because of this." ”

Hugo was also smiling, "Yes, she also said that she lived with two men, and as a result, she was about to die of depression when she had to think about safety." The words made Alex laugh directly on the sofa, "Later, I found out that it was me, she took a glass of red wine, sat on the sofa with me and watched TV, saying that she would wait until I was sleepy and then go to rest, but every time she fell asleep on the sofa in a daze, but I was still so nervous that I didn't feel sleepy." ”

Alex gradually remembered the scene in Sunset Square before, and suddenly realized, "I finally remembered, I said before, how did you often stay in the hall late during that time, and I wondered, where did you come from so much to talk about when you meet every day." ”

The smile on Hugo's lips raised, and then little by little, he tried to recall those nights, but he couldn't remember what he talked about with Charlize at all, only vaguely remembered that they talked about everything, and even sometimes discussed boring and unnutritious topics such as "whether the coffee at the Sunset Plaza convenience store at the intersection is bad or the independent coffee on the set of Burbank is bad".

But even so, those years are still vivid in his mind, and Hugo can even recall the blue moonlight all over the ground.

"Alas, I still miss the days when we used to live together, and when I came home, I could always see someone waiting at home." Alex lamented, "Even a simple dinner with a pizza and a beer in a group of people is happy." Do you remember? Every time we had a fight with Charlize in the morning over the bathroom, we had an argument! ”

"That's you, it's you and Charlize every time you're arguing, I've always been innocent." Hugo raised his hands to show his innocence, causing Alex to scratch his head in embarrassment.

Originally, Hugo thought that he was just missing his original life, but now it seems that it is obviously not. As people grow up, they gradually begin to become lonely, whether it is because the people and things around them have become complicated, or because they have begun to learn to arm themselves to protect themselves, or both. In such moments, friends always seem more important, and the success of the career is accompanied by the reduction of friends, is this an equivalent exchange?

Hugo suddenly remembered that Leonardo almost couldn't make new friends after the "Titanic", and he didn't want to make new friends, because everyone else approached him with various purposes, even if there was no special purpose, they all looked at him with colored glasses, which made it extremely difficult to meet new friends. Now Hugo seems to be the same.

"Hugo, how about you say we're all moving to you?" Alex said excitedly.

Hugo couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Aren't you now?" "Except for Charlize, everyone else basically uses Hugo's villa as their home base, Alex and Leonardo, they simply treat this place as their own home.

Alex couldn't help but smile to hide his embarrassment.

In the midst of laughter, the night gradually deepened, but the dark night was covered by the sparkling moonlight on the sea, and thanks to Alex's company, Hugo seemed to return to the original time in Sunset Square, which relieved his nervousness and anxiety before the tour.

It's just that after Alex fell asleep, Hugo still didn't feel any sleep, and his mind was full of chaos and still couldn't find an outlet, so that Hugo himself couldn't tell whether it was because of the tour itself, or because of the cold war with Cameron, or because of the fear of the crowd, or because of something else.

Although Hugo's sleep quality is always not good before every tour, tonight was particularly noticeable. Looking at the slowly spreading night outside the window, Hugo sat quietly like this, countless thoughts were tumbling in his mind, but there was no complete fragment of thoughts, which made his brain extremely tired.

took out his mobile phone and pressed Cameron's number on the number pad, but looking at the string of numbers displayed on the screen, Hugo never had the ability to press the green call button, so he could only watch quietly
