1235 Chapter 1235
This is obviously not an easy decision. After the choice, it means that Hugo will miss another important role, but on the other hand, Hugo will also usher in a severe search. Therefore, after the decision was made, Hugo forced himself to put the script of "Away from the Casino" completely aside, and then sorted out his thoughts and focused all his attention on the script reading of "Death Ramble".
Naturally, Rick fully supported Hugo's decision. There was no difference between the two works for him at all, as long as Hugo liked it, it was enough. So, Rick let Hugo focus on the preparations for the next performance, and left everything else to him and Joseph, and then got busy again.
But for Tim, this news is nothing short of great news. After he got the confirmation from his agent, his first reaction was to call Hugo. He was so excited that he was incoherent. Your choice, God, a wise choice... Hugo, I believe you will never regret it, I will not let you regret it..."
Facing Tim's excitement, Hugo's mood also flew up, and he really entered the "Death Ramble" preparation mode from the selection mode, leaving "away from the casino" behind.
Even Steven Spielberg called Hugo, "The right choice, this time David has no way to continue to be complacent."
It's been less than a month since "Seven Deadly Sins" was finished, and Hugo confirmed his new work. This is definitely a good news to celebrate. Leonardo, Alex and others are all happy for Hugo. And not long after Hugo decided to star in "Death Row", Charlize also received good news, she will serve as "2. Days. In. In. The. Valley" heroine.
This is Charlize's second work, but it is somewhat different from Hugo's memory. Hugo remembered that Charlize was only a supporting role in "Two Days in the Valley", but now because of the influence of "Before Sunrise", Charlize Rising to the position of heroine, the development trajectory has also changed slightly.
"Two Days in the Valley" was made by MGM, and they not only brought in Charlize to star, but they also brought in Jeff Daniels as her partner. Jeff is the star of "Dumb and Dumber", and he teamed up with Jim Carrey to give a wonderful performance; what is not known is that he was originally Hugo's partner in "Life and Death", and was later Hugo's partner. Replaced by friend Leonardo.
"So, when will filming start?" Charlize told Hugo the news over the phone. When Charlize called, Hugo was performing the line interpretation of "Death Ramble" with the help of Cameron.
Charlize was sitting on the second-hand sofa at home at this time, habitually curled up in a corner, with his chin on his knee, "Next week, it should be. Carl said that the crew is in a hurry, and filming will start within ten days at the latest. , but the specific time will have to wait for notification." Having said that, Charlize paused and said hesitantly, "Has Alex mentioned that to you?"
Hearing this sentence, Hugo was stunned for a while, then nodded slightly, and responded, "Well, he called me yesterday." He put down the script and gave it to Cameron A look, indicating that he needs a while, Cameron did not say much, just stood up and pointed to the kitchen, went to find water to drink. "So, what are your plans?"
Charlize subconsciously retracted his arms and clasped his legs closer to his chest. "Carl is helping me find a house. If all goes well, I can move out within this week."
"Oh... you're also planning to move." Hugo dragged his voice and lowered his tone a little.
Charlize seemed to capture the regret and melancholy in Hugo's tone, his eyes dropped slightly, then he took a deep breath, then raised his voice and jokingly said, "Why, do you feel sad now? Don't forget, you are the The first to move out, otherwise Alex and I wouldn't have any such thoughts at all."
Hugo was teased by Charlize and helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth, "Hey, buddies, you've been urging me to move out, okay? Don't blame me."
Charlize also laughed, teasing Hugo and said, "The lives of big stars are naturally different from ours, there is no way."
In the days after Hugo moved, Alex stayed in Malibu, but "Breakthrough" was still filming, and Alex didn't have a few days off. One night before getting ready to go back to work, Alex went home to rest, and Mr. Perfect was there that night.
Charlize didn't remember how the topic shifted to moving, vaguely as if Mr. Perfect said, "There is only one less Hugo in the house, but it feels a lot more empty", and then it caused Alex's sigh, but Charlize wasn't quite sure if that was the case. However, they said a lot after that.
In fact, when Hugo was still living in Sunset Plaza, the three of them didn't show up so much at the same time, because all three of them had their own jobs, especially Hugo, who was either on tour or filming, and spent time at home. very limited. But after Hugo left, the feeling was different. An empty room seemed to leave an infinite space in his heart.
Then Alex said that he also wanted to move, although he was the one who lived in this room the longest, but now he feels that there is no point in continuing to live, "I didn't feel inconvenience living here before, It feels so homey to come home every day, but now it’s different, maybe it’s time to move.”
Charlize is a little hesitant, she is no better than Alex, Alex now has a long-term film contract for "Happy Family", and he also took the film "Brave Island", he is much richer than her, but Charlize Just starred in "Before the Sunrise" -- not a lot of money, just two hundred thousand dollars. Although she said that she had the capital to move, she was still a little hesitant.
Charlize subconsciously asked Mr. Perfect for his opinion, and he said, "I support your decision, as long as you like it. Of course, if you can't adjust it for a while, it's not that easy to find a house after all, you You can come to my place to live temporarily, and then move in after you find a suitable house."
Later, I learned that the three men upstairs were also planning to move. Fukukin was moving to share a house with Neil. They rented an oceanfront apartment in Santa Monica; Carl was planning to move to the vicinity of the company in Beverly Hills. Convenient for work; Joseph also rents an apartment in Beverly Hills, but he will move to Malibu for the short term to work with Samora on Hugo's work.
Charlize also made up her mind, and she persuaded herself that since all the familiar friends around her had left, it would be meaningless for her to stay here.
However, Charlize did not plan to move to Mr. Perfect's house. She asked Carl to find a bachelor apartment near Beverly Hills. It is indeed more convenient to work there, and the Screen Actors Guild can be directly reached on foot.
So, within a week of Hugo's move, the little friends they gathered all went their separate ways. Alex joked, "There's no way, the core that brings us all together has abandoned us, what else can we do?"
Although Hugo knew when he decided to move, this day would come sooner or later, but he did not expect it to happen so soon. The friends who were just visiting upstairs and downstairs are now scattered in every corner of the city. Of course, they were still in the same city, and they could have a party anytime they wanted, just like the past few days, when everyone stayed in Hugo's villa for a long time to revel, but...after all, it was different.
This is the stage that the growth process must go through.
Even so, Hugo was inevitably a little melancholy, even more lost than the day he moved. Hugo took a deep breath, regained his energy and said, "Since the new job is about to start, why don't you wait until the show is over before moving?"
Charlize chuckled lightly, "Sooner or later, it's not all the same." Both of them were silent, and then Charlize broke the deadlock again, "Alex has gone back to the set, but if Carl finds If the apartment is suitable, I will help him move directly, and when he comes back, he will live in a new home. I plan to do the same, you know, a perfect apartment is waiting for no one, it must be early. Not to mention, Beverly Hills It's not that you don't know how in-demand the nearby houses are."
Hugo also regained his energy and smiled, "It's true, it's better to find the apartment early, you can devote yourself to shooting. Why, did Mr. Perfect say nothing this time?"
"He said he supported all my decisions." Charlize had just finished speaking when he heard Hugo's familiar booing voice, "Oh god, god damn, he's so fucking boring, Jesus Christ!" Charlize immediately Yelling and defending, "Yes, yes, yes, I know he's boring, but at least he's willing to understand me, that's fine, isn't it?"
Hugo sneered, "I think he is suitable for being a priest, not an actor."
At this time, Cameron came over with a glass of orange juice and handed it to Hugo. Hugo could not help but frowned slightly and asked with his mouth shape, "No coffee?" Cameron shook his head and compared a "three" ” gesture, and said, “You’ve had three cups of coffee today, you can’t drink any more.”
Hugo pursed his lips dejectedly, but still took the orange juice, but Charlize's voice came from his ear, "I'm going to pack my luggage, you know, prepare the luggage for filming, and then put the rest of the things. Pack up. Oh yeah, I'm about to have my own private space, and finally stop fighting for the bathroom with my roommate, I gotta celebrate."
"Haha, I think at least Alex must be very lucky that he finally doesn't have to fight for the bathroom with you." Hugo laughed.
After hanging up the phone, Charlize looked at the brick phone with a busy tone in her hand. This was the one that Hugo gave her, and she never changed it. Sitting in the same place, Charlize couldn't help thinking, "Yeah, moving is a good thing, I can finally be independent, this is a good thing, I should be happy. Well, it is true."
