Chapter 1638 1638 Revisiting the Old Place
72_72291 Not only Warner Bros., but also Universal Pictures, Sony Columbia Pictures and other studios are still unwilling to give up hope, although people always like to say that Hollywood always likes the new and hates the old, no one is irreplaceable, and no one can be eternal - you don't see Arnold Schwarzenegger's momentum has shown obvious signs of decline in the past two years since "The True Lies"; But Hugo, whose career is trying to climb new heights, is obviously not in this ranks for the time being, even if he is worth as much as 20 million US dollars, there are still countless consortiums waving their checks and begging Hugo's favor.
Hugo really didn't have any interest in taking on a new work in a short period of time, and he and Rick reached a consensus that the next work must be carefully chosen, whether it is a commercial film or an art film, whether to read the script or the director, whether to choose a lighter subject or a more strict theme...... They all need to think long-term.
After devoting himself to the pre-rehearsal preparations for the tour, Hugo's life became regular again, and the band members exchanged opinions with the representatives of the live country and worked out a detailed tour plan; At the same time, he started a long practice and tried to dedicate a perfect touring stage.
Obviously, however, it was impossible for Hugo to enjoy this rare quiet. Journalists waited around the band's practice grounds almost every day, flocking to Hugo whenever they saw it; Even many avid fans wait long hours at the door of the practice room every day just to be able to meet Hugo, which makes the quiet area where the Honor to Death practice room is located look like Disneyland every day.
When Hugo came to the practice room again today, he saw the surging crowd of more than 300 people at the door from a distance, and everyone's face was filled with excitement, and the frenzy that could not be hidden made the air hot.
Hugo knew that he should feel honored because he was just an ordinary person and these people were crazy because of him, a height that many people could not dream of in their lifetimes. In the process of survival, almost everyone is looking for their own sense of existence, longing for social recognition, and pursuing their own success...... Now that Hugo has attained this qiē, he is like a god, standing high in the sky and looking down on the raging waves.
Hugo, however, felt a kind of fear, the fear of being overwhelmed by the crowd, as if he were an incomparably small ant, and the surging crowds only made him feel small and insignificant, as if he could swallow him at any moment; Hiding the fear of loneliness behind his popularity, he has no life of his own, not to mention going out shopping with Cameron, and even the freedom to go for a beer with the band members is deprived.
There is also the fear after falling from the peak, the higher he stands, the heavier he falls, and at this time Hugo finally understands why those big families, those successful people, do not compromise their means for money, honor, and fame, because they have tasted the joy of the peak, and they do not want to become unbearable, even if they are despicable and cruel......
The insatiable fear made Hugo stop in his tracks, and then close his eyes, because the surging crowd seemed to come directly to him in the next second, drowning him.
Hugo wanted to take a step towards the practice room, two hundred yards away, but he couldn't. Once upon a time, Hugo thought it was an incomparably absurd idea: how could they be afraid of the audience when they relied on the audience to support their profession of eating? How can they make a face to the audience? How can they play big names with impunity? But that's just the thoughts of the bystanders, and only when you really get to this position do you know the bitterness and hardship.
With a long exhale, Hugo eventually turned away and called Neil to say he wasn't feeling well today and was absent from practice. Neil seemed to hear the tiredness in Hugo's voice, and didn't ask anything, just let Hugo have a good rest, and hung up the phone.
Wandering aimlessly down the street, only a few hundred yards behind him was as noisy as a Christmas market, but hundreds of yards away it was as quiet as a country town past midnight. Such a stark contrast gave Hugo an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
Today was supposed to be a whole day of band practice, but Hugo now has no way to devote himself to practice, and has decided to leave the crowd on the fly, and Hugo does not know where to go. Because even if he wears a baseball cap today, as soon as he walks to a slightly more crowded place, he may be recognized and cause a riot, except to obediently stay at home.
Hugo realized how narcissistic and self-centered this idea was, but a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, because what was even more ridiculous than the idea of narcissism was that his idea was real, and even if he wanted to deny and want to be modest, there was no way.
Just as he was thinking, a group of college students came up to him, they giggled and laughed, and then two of the girls seemed to notice Hugo, cast their eyes, and then discussed something in a low voice, Hugo slightly narrowed his chin, so that the brim of the baseball cap covered most of his face, and tried to keep his composure and move on.
As the two sides passed by, Hugo could faintly hear the fragmented voice, "Hugo...... It shouldn't be a ......" discussion. Hugo continued to take steps, keeping himself calm and calm, and even though he could clearly feel the constant projection of the group of college students behind him, he tried to suppress the urge to run away - otherwise he would be exposed.
After walking around the corner, Hugo relaxed a little, but when he raised his head and looked at the unfamiliar streets around him, he was a little dazed, the world was so big, but he suddenly couldn't find a peaceful place. "That's a hypocritical idea." Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was mockery and ridicule in his smile.
Walking slowly along the street corner, with no direction and no purpose. Hugo's brain gradually calmed down, and he really needed this tour, not only because the tour was a medium for the band to communicate with his fans, but also because the stage was the only free space that belonged to him at the moment. Compared with the world of the film crew, compared to the limited space of the recording studio, the stage is his last position.
On this position, he does not need to avoid the surging crowds, because the crowd is part of the stage; He doesn't need to hide from the pestering media, because all the qiē is truly unfolded; He doesn't need to worry about the danger of being swallowed by the crowd, because the stage is his fortress; He doesn't need to worry about the world getting narrower and narrower, because it's a journey on the road......
So, he needs to stand on the stage, breathe the air of freedom, feel the land he loves, and remind him of the crowd in his dreams that is an important part and not a stumbling block.
Thinking of the tour, Hugo's mood is obviously much better, compared to AEG Group, the live country is really more in line with Hugo's current situation, he can pour out all his thoughts about the three series, and label this world tour as a real glory to death.
All of these qiē are awakening the passion in Hugo's heart, the most primitive passion, the enthusiasm at that time in the distant last life, in the distant childhood, when he was moved by music for the first time, when he was excited when he touched the guitar strings for the first time, and when he tried to form a so-called band with his friends for the first time.
From then until now, Hugo has gone too far. Suddenly, Hugo was a little curious, what were the friends doing in the parallel world, and whether the "self" in the parallel world was indulged in the world of music and couldn't extricate himself.
The complicated thoughts in his mind made Hugo's feelings settle down, walking, walking, Hugo, who had no sense of direction, did not know where he had gone. When he reacted, looking at the scenery around him, Hugo was at a loss, and he didn't know where he was.
One of the most troublesome things about Los Angeles is that although taxis are available, very few taxis can be hailed directly on the street, and most of them require you to call the taxi company to make an appointment before they can send a car. Hugo now wanted to call a taxi straight home, and it was obviously not that simple - he didn't bring out his brick-heavy phone when he went out today.
Looking around, Hugo was thinking about how he should find a way home, although he had no idea in his head, but after looking closely, Hugo felt that the scenery around him was somewhat familiar—really familiar, not the kind of déjà vu that appeared in the dream. But, for road idiots, why does Hugo feel familiar?
Hugo stood there and fell into deep thought, looked at it carefully, and when he saw the familiar residential building on his right, Hugo finally realized that this was the house he had lived in when he lived in Sunset Square!
This is not the side of Sunset Square, but the side of the back hill, and the road leads all the way to Mulholland Road, where Hugo used to sneak away from the paparazzi. But I didn't expect that Hugo went around and went around and came back, and what was even more strange was that Hugo hadn't recognized it for the first time, and he had lived here for nearly three years in vain.
Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, but finally calmly pretended that the incident had not happened, and then walked down the path down the mountain, watching the familiar building appear in sight little by little.
It's hard to believe that Hugo has only been moving to Malibu for more than a year, but when he comes back here, it feels like a lifetime away. Hugo remembered how he used to fight with the paparazzi here, but interestingly, compared to the present, life here can be described as completely carefree - the paparazzi never knew that Hugo was roommates with Charlize and Alex.
Although life in Malibu is now more comfortable and comfortable, even Alex and Leonardo use Malibu as their base camp - staying in Hugo's villa for a long time for vacation; But there are too many memories here in Sunset Square, witnessing the history of Hugo step by step to the top.
Hugo stood there, smiling at the familiar and unfamiliar grass and trees around him, and then a man appeared in his sight, and walked slowly, it was Ernst Lechmann - 17075 + d6su9h + 11390447 - >.
