Ron Howard looked at Hugo in front of him and showed a big smile, "In fact, when I was filming 'Apollo 13', I was told that you were the actor I was working with, but then some things happened, and I finally finished this work with Tom." Unexpectedly, in a different way, I still got the opportunity to cooperate with you. ”

If Lang hadn't mentioned it, Hugo would have almost forgotten about it and couldn't help chuckling, "I hope the two of us won't mess up." ”

Lang was also amused by Hugo, and he looked at the starry sky above him again, "I'm sorry that we've been here for another quarter of an hour, and I have to leave." ”

"If you want, there are a few rooms on the third floor, and it will take a while to get back to the city from here." Hugo kindly extended the invitation.

But Long shook his head and explained with a smile, "My wife and woman are at home, and I have to rush back." In those simple words, there is a strong attachment. After saying that, Lang said goodbye to Hugo, got into a taxi, and drove away, gradually disappearing into the night.

Just now Hugo and Lang returned to Malibu, Hugo showed Lang the finished script, Lang read it roughly, and then carefully read a few scenes in it, and his enthusiasm was completely burned, and he and Hugo discussed it for a long time. In the blink of an eye, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, and Lang insisted on going home, not only because he had disturbed Hugo's rest, but also because there were still people waiting for him at home.

Hugo turned around and walked back to the villa, back to the room, and saw Charlize sitting at the head of the bed reading a book, he walked over and imprinted a kiss on her forehead, Charlize looked up at Hugo's tired but excited eyes, "So, are you sure it's him?" ”

Hugo nodded, "Well, this script is definitely handed over to him to direct." Lang and Hugo hit it off, the more they talked, the happier they became, Hugo told Lang the little stories or fragments he learned from his investigation, and then Lang would put forward his ideas and opinions, which in turn caused Hugo to have different views on the performance...... Only then did I gradually lose track of time.

A big smile tugged at the corner of Charlize's mouth, "Congratulations, finding a director who is a perfect fit, the movie is already half the battle." Charlize patted Hugo's chest, "You go take a shower first, you've been running around all day today, and I guess you're tired." I've put the bath water in place for you, so relax. ”

Hugo couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, gave Charlize another kiss, and then turned and walked into the bathroom.

When Hugo came out, he found that Charlize had fallen asleep on the pillow, and the half-read book "Sense and Emotion" fell on the sheets, which made the corners of Hugo's mouth lightly outline a smile, and he hid in the quilt, stretched out his hands and carefully adjusted Charlize's posture, so that she could lie down in the quilt and sleep well.

I didn't want Charlize to wake up in a daze, raised his head and glanced at Hugo, and then shrank into Hugo's arms, looking for the most comfortable position, and closed his eyes again. This made Hugo's movements pause - because he was not sleepy at this time, and wanted to read the script again, and looked at Charlize's blushing cheeks, Hugo smiled dumbly.

Just as Hugo was hesitating whether he should turn off the lights, Charlize's voice came muffled from the bed, "If you want to read the script, you can read it, don't worry about me, I'm okay." ”

Hugo lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on the top of Charlize's head, "You said, you play the role of Alicia, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Charlize raised his tail note slightly, his eyes still not open, but the words in his mouth did not stop, "But is this really good?" You just showed your affection in front of the media today, and then we collaborated on a movie together, so high-profile, why do you have an ominous premonition? ”

Hugo didn't hold back, he laughed after a snort, he patted Charlize lightly on the cheek, "When I was writing the script, the main line of love between John and Alicia was completely written with you in mind, if it was someone else to play Alicia, I wasn't sure what my performance would be." Besides, aren't you jealous? ”

Charlize opened her eyes, looked up at Hugo's cheeks, and then saw those amber eyes, dyed with a hazy halo, and then she sketched a shallow smile, "If you really want to be jealous, other people are jealous of me, aren't they?" A joke made Hugo a little uncomfortable, Charlize laughed proudly, and then she pulled Hugo's right hand over and hugged herself, "However, you are right, since this role is written according to me, and other people play it, I will never allow it, I must declare my possession." ”

Hugo couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Who was the person who said it was too high-profile and not very good?" ”

"Sacrifice, I call it sacrifice, do you understand?" Charlize raised his head and said solemnly, "I chose self-sacrifice for your script, for your performance." ”

Hugo tapped his chin lightly and said meaningfully, "Sacrifice? As he spoke, his eyes still peeked down Charlize's good figure, and the hot gaze made Charlize only feel that his skin began to heat slightly, and the sound of his heart hitting was so clear.

Charlize was obviously a little dissatisfied with his predicament, grinded his teeth, and then bit down on Hugo's chest, which made Hugo panic suddenly, "Hey, hey, where are you biting?" He hurriedly patted Charlize on the back, but he didn't dare to push too hard, and the whole person was not embarrassed.

In the end, Charlize took the initiative to let go, looked at the clear tooth mark, and nodded contentedly, but before she had time to raise her head, she suddenly took off into the air, she only felt that the whole person was flying, and she didn't know what was going on, and when she reacted, she realized that she was lying on Hugo's chest, looking at Hugo's eyes condescendingly. The eyes of desire, the spark of the red fruit made her panic for a while.

Immediately after, Hugo hugged her tightly, making her feel that the air in her entire chest seemed to be squeezed out, and then the whole world began to turn upside down, Hugo came above her in an instant, she only felt that her back was smashed into the soft mattress, and she was firmly imprisoned in this side of the world, all directions were Hugo's breath, and the hot and restless male breath made her heartbeat completely out of rhythm.

The corners of Hugo's mouth outlined a sly smile, which made Charlize completely panicked, "Hugo, wait a minute...... but Hugo didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and started all the way down her collarbone, gently biting off the restraints on her chest with her teeth, "I was wrong, Hugo, I was wrong......" Hugo raised his head and showed her a bright smile, his eyes flashed with excitement and banter, which made Charlize exclaim, "Hugo! ”

Hugo then began to descend slowly, but this time he didn't touch her skin, just traced the trajectory with his snort, the light and hot breath that stained her skin pink.

Charlize hurriedly grabbed Hugo's shoulders with his own hands, and the tense muscles hid countless strengths, so that she couldn't help but start to tremble slightly, "Hugo, wait...... I mean, you...... Did you just mean it? As if grasping at a lifeline, Charlize said in a panic, "Why did you think of putting me in the role of Alicia?" Hugo, I'm serious! ”

Hugo raised his head slightly, "Huh? At this time, you still have the heart to talk about other things? Looks like I'm not working hard enough. Even if Charlize didn't bow her head, she could feel the banter in Hugo's words, and she quickly said, "No, no, I'm serious." Hugo, I'm ...... I'm not sure if I'm ready to move on to new scripts, you know, but why would you still want me to cast it? Charlize felt the hot breath slowly leave her skin, and only then did she relax a little, "There's always a reason." ”

Sensing Charlize's nervousness, Hugo chuckled softly, climbed up again, looked into Charlize's gaze, and then lightly imprinted a kiss on her lips, "I know you're inconvenient today." "Actually, Hugo doesn't remember these things very clearly, but yesterday before the Oscars, Charlize complained that the pressure was too much, and this month came a few days earlier. Hugo, of course, will not forget now.

Charlize's cheeks couldn't help but heat slightly, wrapped his arms around Hugo's neck, kissed his sexy lips, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I have to endure harder than you." One sentence almost made Hugo impulsive again, but Charlize had already expected it and hugged Hugo's neck tightly, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

"Oh, Sally!" Hugo's hoarse voice was full of struggle, which made Charlize really laugh, Hugo took a few deep breaths, then lay down next to him and rubbed his temples, "The reason is...... Oh, Jesus Christ. Hugo had to let out another long breath, "I mean......" closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts, "Alicia's character actually has a lot of overlap with your original personality, intelligent, self-reliant, cunning, and casual. But the most special thing about her is that she went through the whole process of John's illness, from the initial patience, to the beginning of becoming irritable, and even desperate, and finally chose to stick to John's side. ”

"Alicia is an ordinary person, and she needs to not only awaken John's affection, but also resonate with the audience. So, the chemistry between her and John was so important that I couldn't think of anyone but you. Hugo's thoughts finally calmed down, and he said seriously, "Besides, Alicia is actually a person who is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, and she needs to show her gentle side. I know it's going to be a challenge for you. "Because Charlize is also a person who is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, and her gentleness is almost never shown to anyone else, except Hugo.

This performance was a difficult challenge for Charlize, which is why Hugo used Charlize as a prototype to frame Alicia when writing the script. This invitation is a sincere invitation from the heart.
