Chapter 117 117 Meeting New Friends

Hugo and Leonardo made a few jokes between you and me, which made both of them focus on each other. Leonardo frowned slightly and kept looking at Hugo up and down, with a bright smile. It gradually became darker, and it seemed that the situation was very bad. This made Ashley and Alex a little uneasy. They thought Leonardo was irritated by Hugo's joke. The two seemed to be fighting each other. They were the middleman, which is not good. done.

I saw Leonardo seemed to remember something, raised his eyes and took a small step forward, Ashley subconsciously wanted to stand up to stop, but then heard Leonardo ask, " Are you... Hugo? Hugo-Lancaster?" This forced Ashley to stop after half a step, and looked at Hugo in surprise. This name can be said to have been mentioned many times in the past two weeks.

"Looks like you caught me." Hugo admitted with a smile.

In fact, Leonardo was a little angry at first, because Hugo's words were full of gunpowder, as if he was very dissatisfied with his mocking of Alex's clothes. For the young and vigorous Leonardo, he naturally wanted to directly He pushed back, but then he noticed that Hugo's voice was very familiar. After getting this inspiration, he looked at Hugo carefully, and found the abnormality.

"Hey, man, why did you come to our party!" Leonardo directly stretched out his right hand, spreading his fingers in the air, Hugo also smiled, raised his right hand, and Leon Nadeau gave a high five. "Today is the first time we meet after the 'Growing Pains' is over. I really didn't expect to meet you here." Since the interview of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", the two have not been in touch. Today's It was a surprise to meet.

Everyone around is amazed at the acquaintance of Hugo and Leonardo. Leonardo has gained a lot of popularity by relying on "the troubles of growing up", and Hugo has only recently achieved it because of "smell the fragrance and know a woman" Xianyu turned over, the acquaintance of these two people was really surprising, including Joseph - he didn't notice that Hugo and Leonardo actually talked very much.

But at this moment, Hugo said in surprise, "The 'Growing Pains' is over? Why?" People in the circle could feel a bunch of crows flying over their heads: Please, this is not the point, okay?

But Leonardo just got into the rhythm of Hugo's conversation, and said with a smile, "The finale, which aired on April 25th, is over. Since the crew members have not been available before, there is no Hold a banquet. Everyone likes parties on Halloween just now, and today's party is here. Even Krik Cameron, who usually never attends parties, is here." Leonardo looked around. , "But I don't know where he is now. I guess he is hiding in a corner with his wife again."

Kirk plays the eldest son Michael in "Growing Pains". He has a lively and cheerful personality, but he is actually an introverted bored in life. He got married early last year. His wife plays his girlfriend Kate in the play. Chelsea. Noble.

"As for why the episode ended, Hugo, I think you should know why." Leonardo looked back, watching Hugo open his eyes wide.

What else could the reason be? There is basically only one reason why American TV dramas can continue to be broadcast: ratings; occasionally there are other reasons for exceptions, and the largest proportion is that the actors’ remuneration cannot be negotiated. Naturally, the "problem of growing up" is not the latter, but only the ratings. problem.

Hugo immediately felt regretful that in 1992, he had not been able to witness the end of "Growing Pains". Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but start to think that "Friends", the drama that had the most profound impact on Chinese audiences in the history of American dramas, has not yet started airing. is an interesting thing.

Seeing that Hugo actually started to lose his mind, Leonardo looked at the other people standing beside him, "Is he always like this?" Surprisingly, Joseph, Karl, Alex and Charlize were all at the same time. Shrugging, the synchronicity of the movements can be given full marks, making Leonardo, Ashley, and Jeremy laugh out loud.

"Hey, buddy." Leonardo patted Hugo's chest, and the result was an empty piece. The sponge really didn't have any touch, which made Charlize standing beside him burst out laughing again, Alec A few people are not much better, and this joke is expected to continue for a long time. Leonardo didn't understand the joke, just looked at his hand, and then said, "I'll take you to meet some friends, let's go."

Originally, going to a party is to meet new friends and meet new things, not to mention Hugo, Charlize and Alex can't wait to join the carnival, and for Joseph and Carl, relaxing is also a good choice. .

The members of the "Growing Pains" crew are all familiar names now, but Hugo knows that all of them will not have a good future career development. Only Leonardo has achieved success, and "Growing Pains" It has become the biggest masterpiece of other people's life. This is actually the limitation of TV actors, it is difficult for them to break through the limitations of a successful series, "Friends" is like this, "Prison. Break" is like this, and many other classic series are also like this.

Even so, Hugo is looking forward to getting to know these actors because they represent memories of a generation. Seeing that a character from those old pictures in his memory actually appeared in front of him, Hugo always called out the name of the local drama involuntarily, and a sense of intimacy emerged spontaneously.

Still looking frail, Tracey Gold, who played the eldest daughter Carol on the show, suffered from anorexia in 1989 and then Symptoms got worse, and at the beginning of the year, she lost 80 pounds (36 kilograms) and missed filming for three of the last four episodes.

"No wonder I said why I didn't see you in the end." Hugo was talking about the memory of watching it before. He missed the live broadcast this year. "What a pity. How are you now?"

"I'm totally fine." Tracey showed her signature pursed smile. "It's helped me a lot to stop being the center of attention. Everyone knows me and I don't have my own. Private life. That's not the case anymore, so the symptoms are gradually relieving."

Hugo didn't know much about the situation Tracy said. Not all actors know before entering the industry that this is a profession that lives under the limelight. The transparency of private life itself is the collateral damage of the profession, so why do you put yourself under so much pressure?

Hugo didn't experience it, so he couldn't understand it. But that didn't stop him from amusing Tracy in his own way, "Well, next time I see you on the street, I'll resist the urge to greet you." Hugo used a very serious expression. The way of expressing it, because it is too serious, people can't tell the truth from the fake, which makes Tracy a little overwhelmed.

In the end, Leonardo burst into laughter, which made Tracy realize that Hugo was joking, and the smile showed, "I know, as long as you don't mind, I will take the initiative to greet you. As long as You don't ask about my love life."

"Oh, that's rude to a lady." A man will ask about a woman's emotional life, and the most likely possibility is that he has a good impression of her, that's why Hugo said this, and it really made Tracy Hehe laughing nonstop: All women would not refuse such a compliment.

When he met Kirk, Hugo almost didn't recognize Michael, who was very active on the small screen, and he was about to leave the scene with his wife, even if Leonardo stopped him, he just stopped After a brief exchange with Hugo, they left.

At this time, Hugo really realized how serious Kirk's so-called "introversion" is, and the gap between this and the screen image is too big. Of course, this also shows from the side that Kirk is really a good actor.

However, there was Tracy in front and Kirk in the back. Obviously, neither of them could handle the pressure brought by fame very well, which made Hugo sigh, and more curious: Is life after fame really that complicated? ? His life in the past two weeks has indeed been a lot more lively, but there is nothing wrong with it.

"So, what are your plans?" Leonardo looked around boredly. He tried to steal a drink just now, but the adults at the scene today were very strict, and Leonardo, who was not of age, couldn't steal it at all. liquor. In the end, Hugo asked for a beer, and after drinking half of it, Leonardo drank the remaining half, but it was not enjoyable at all. There is no party atmosphere without alcohol, which is really a disappointment.

"What?" Hugo was still thinking about things just now, so he was a little distracted and didn't understand what Leonardo meant.

Leonardo stretched his waist, "Today is Halloween, either 'trick or treat' or a prank, what are your plans?"

"No, do you have it?" Hugo's eyes were full of excitement. The Halloween atmosphere in China was not so hot before. Who knows if there will be any new surprises here.

"The residential area is not far away, we can go to prank now, otherwise we will be preempted by others." Leonardo thought of prank and became active, "I'll go to Jeremy." Jeremy's relationship is the best, and the first thing is to think of friends.

"What?" Hugo was obviously half a beat slower than Leonardo, mainly because Hugo didn't know much about the customs of Halloween.

"Paper roll." Leonardo just said one word, and then excitedly ran back to the venue with Hugo.
