Looking at the breathtaking scenery outside the window, Hugo let out a long breath, and his mood gradually returned to calm, but the smile on the corner of his mouth unconsciously outlined, "So, what exactly did you want to tell me just now?" Charlize's voice came, Hugo hesitated, "Hmm", and then quickly spoke, "I want to tell you that the audition I mentioned to you last time, if you don't work hard, you will probably miss it." ”

"Auditions?" Charlize crossed his legs on the table and took a sip of his coffee, frowning at the bitterness of his mouth, but clearly enjoying the moment. Even Charlize himself didn't notice that she was really relaxed at this moment, and that kind of casual and natural comfort made the whole person completely relaxed. "Ah, you mean that new script you received, 'L.A. Confidential'?"

"Yes, I was supposed to call you to audition last night, but it turned out to be ......" Hugo pursed his lips, provoking a mocking laugh from Charlize, "and it was interrupted by a disgusting man", which made Hugo chuckle, "I wanted to say 'it turned out to be robbed of style by Kim Basinger', but if you want to say that, you can do that." ”

"Kim Basinger?" Charlize ignored Hugo's taunt and immediately noticed the point, her tone did not hide her surprise.

"Why are you surprised? Because she's been on the cover of Playboy? Hugo was also a little surprised by Charlize's reaction, teasingly.

Charlize rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Of course not. I just think it's a little surprising that she performed better than Nicole. Nicole's performances are always amazing, aren't they? "Charlize is talking about Nicole Kidman.

Hugo nodded, although Nicole is far from reaching the peak of her career, her performance has indeed been gradually polished, enough to impress many people. "Nicole only showed up out of politeness, she and Tom had other plans." Hugo explained.

"Oh, that's not a surprise." Charlize suddenly realized, "So, is the role now decided?" ”

"I thought you weren't interested in the role." Hugo knew that in fact, the script of "L.A. Confidential" had been given to Charlize for a few days, but she had not read it, and she was obviously a little disinterested.

However, this is also understandable, successively filmed "Romeo and Juliet", "Devil's Advocate", especially the latter, Charlize has not been able to completely come out after a long period of psychiatrist counseling, coupled with the recent pile of bad things in her life, Charlize immediately put into a new script, which is definitely not an easy task. Even Hugo is hard to do.

Charlize shrugged his shoulders without denial, "It's true that I'm not at my best, but...... Hugo Lancaster's selection of scripts is always magical, isn't it? Charlize leaned against the wall and sat down on the TV cabinet to relax, "So, would you be interested in talking to me about this character in detail?" ”

Hugo chuckled, heard a noise from the bed, Leonardo seemed to be woken up, raised his head and glanced at Hugo, and then got up in a bit of a panic, he only then remembered that this was Hugo's room, and if he slept here, then what happened to Hugo and Cameron last night. No, Hugo smiled at him and signaled that he could continue to sleep, and then Hugo sat on the windowsill, leaning against the glass window, bathing in the morning sun, and whispered, "If you read the script, you wouldn't need me......"

Leonardo glanced at the relaxed smile on Hugo's face, then buried his head in the pillow again and fell into a deep sleep.

In May, you can already see a large number of young surfers and tourists visiting Los Angeles, and although the sea breeze is still a little cold, the whole beach is already bustling with activity. Curtis Hansen found a place to park his car, put on his sunglasses and bucket hat, let out a long breath, opened the car door and walked down the main street, and soon found the restaurant called "Friday" at the end, a Hawaiian-style thatched hut with hand-woven rattan chairs, and a summer holiday trend.

At this time, there were not many customers in the restaurant, Curtis looked around, but did not see Hugo's figure, turned his head again to search, but still did not see. This made Curtis frown, Hugo just called him and said that he would have breakfast here at ten o'clock, so why didn't he see Hugo after he arrived? Could it be that he came too early? Curtis remembers that it was almost ten o'clock when he got out of the car, and Hugo was not a man who was used to being late.

Thinking about it, Curtis didn't stop any longer, looked around, and planned to find a place to sit down. Then he saw the graceful girl sitting in the corner, in fact, this was the third time he had seen her, and as soon as he entered the door, he was attracted by the figure at first sight.

Dressed in a blue traditional cheongsam, a peony in full bloom bloomed all the way down from her right shoulder, as if the stars were sprinkled on the entire cheongsam. It's obviously an unassuming color, but it says that the white skin like snow, glowing with a creamy halo under the faint sunlight, makes people can't help but want to reach out and touch it, but they are worried that their actions will desecrate the woman in front of them.

Her curly blonde hair was tied into a neat bun, revealing a swan-like neck, and her thick, slender eyelashes cast a row of shadows that shimmered as if the dust of the sun was spreading through the air, astonishing the flow of time, so much so that the flow of time slowed down.

In fact, Curtis could only see the arc of the woman's jaw because of the position he was standing, and he couldn't see anything else, but there was a kind of magic in this woman, which made people can't help but cast their eyes, like a luminous body, firmly attracting all his attention.

Almost before Curtis realized it, he walked in the woman's direction. However, he was not so bold and went directly to the conversation, but prepared to walk to the empty table next to the woman.

In fact, Los Angeles is a city that has never lacked beautiful women, especially after the film industry has fully flourished, women with dreams of being actors have come and gone, and they can do whatever it takes to get a small role in a movie. That's why there were so many scouts on the streets in the '80s and '90s – often on the streets, where they could tap into a lot of potential new stars.

But the woman in front of him was really impossible to take his eyes off, and Curtis's mouth was almost starting to dry up. Just before he was about to sit down, Curtis didn't hold back after all, and walked straight to the woman's table, "Good morning, ma'am, are you alone?" ”

"Mr. Hansen, I am waiting for your arrival." When the woman heard the voice, she turned her head to look at it, and a bright smile appeared on her face, which surprised Curtis again in an instant, and then he saw the woman stand up and hold out her right hand to him.

Curtis was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't help but cry out in his heart for luck, but fortunately he didn't stupidly walk up to the other party and ask "Do you want to be an actor", otherwise he would be embarrassed. Curtis tried to hide his embarrassment and showed a big smile, "Miss Theron, I didn't expect to meet you here. "The beauty in front of me is none other than Charlize Theron," What about Hugo? I thought he had arrived. ”

Charlize is a beauty, many people know this, "Before Sunrise" was released to amaze many people, and the outstanding performance in "Romeo and Juliet" made many people applaud, and her and Leonardo's combination was exclaimed by many media reporters as the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" combination.

However, it was only today that Curtis really felt Charlize's grace and sexuality. Charlize after deliberately dressing up, different from the little freshness in "Before Sunrise", and different from the classics in "Romeo and Juliet", at this time she has a heart-pounding charm, like a carefully polished diamond, which is admirable, but can't take her eyes off.

"He just met a friend, and he guesses he'll be a little late." Charlize smiled and said, "What do you like for breakfast?" The crepes here are delicious, and with bacon and poached eggs, I think the day will be wonderful. Charlize seemed to have overstepped, and without listening to Curtis's answer, he enthusiastically recommended the breakfast menu.

But Curtis didn't seem to care, and tugged at the corners of his mouth a little stiffly, "Very good, then, let's have pizzas with bacon and poached eggs." Curtis only hoped that Charlize wouldn't pursue his initial accosting, which was the most humiliating moment of the day, and he didn't want to relive it.

Charlize raised his right hand, called the waiter, and after ordering, turned to look at Curtis, "Mr. Hansen, do you need a cup of coffee?" It's just my personal habit, I don't know if you like it? ”

"Coffee, of course, please give me a cup of coffee." Curtis smiled at the waiter, not realizing that in his panic, the rhythm of the conversation had completely fallen into Charlize's hands.

"I'm so sorry I was so rude last night that I missed meeting you." Charlize always had that elegant smile on his face, "Actually, I've always been looking forward to meeting you, and when I was chatting with Kevin before, he mentioned that you are a very good director, especially when you are on set, you have your own way of doing things. The whole filming of 'Wild River' was very enjoyable. ”

Curtis smiled and nodded, "Oh, of course, you still have a collaboration with Meryl, which is a very admirable thing. Charlize's words don't fluctuate much, and he always maintains an elegant casualness, but the refreshing smile will be intangible. The feeling slowly seeped out, and it inadvertently made people red-faced.

Curtis didn't notice a slight flush on his cheeks, "Of course, it's an honor for the director to be able to work with such a good actor as Meryl......"
