Chapter 1451 1451 Accidental Coincidence

Facing Randy's request, Hugo was ignorant. He looked at Steven, but he avoided his gaze and urged Hugo to fulfill other people's wishes with a smile. Hugo didn't think much about it, he signed the booklet generously, and then Randy asked Hugo if he could sign another one for his daughter. Hugo didn't refuse. Not only did he complete the signature, He also wrote a short paragraph, "You have an excellent father, and I can feel his love for you. I heard that you are about to graduate in June this year. I hope you can enjoy every good time every day."

Then Steven took over the camera, took a few pictures of Hugo and Randy, and took a few pictures of Hugo alone, and that was the end.

Randy took the brochure and camera, thanked him again, and was about to leave, but Hugo was a little overwhelmed, "Uh, could it be Steven..." He signed, took pictures, and performed fan service here, but the other party didn't know what to do. Not taking care of Steven was a very rude behavior, and Hugo couldn't help but panic. But the words were too direct, and Hugo was worried about hurting Steven's self-esteem, which made Hugo very embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Hugo found that Randy cast a suspicious look at Steven, and Steven waved his hand, motioning for Randy to leave quickly. Hugo sensed something was wrong, and frowned slightly and cast a questioning look at Steven, but Steven coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "This is the condition for my seat reservation. ."

Hugo's first reaction thought he had heard it wrong, but when he saw the slightly embarrassed expression on Steven's face, he realized that Steven was not joking. This made Hugo unable to hold back, and he burst out laughing, "Steven, I only now know how 'Alien E.T' and 'Jaws' were filmed."

Childlike innocence, Steven has the heart of an old urchin, which has not changed so far. It's just that very few people can see this side of Steven, and only a very small number of people can come into contact with Steven's childlike character.

Steven didn't deny it, he shrugged with a smile, and then put his right index finger on his mouth and made a "shush" gesture, which made Hugo really happy immediately.

At this point, Randy returned to the table again, regaining his usual professional attitude, holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, first showing Hugo and Steven the packaging of the bottle, and asking Steven to confirm Label, bottle and other details, and then took over the red wine again, took out a bottle opener from his pocket, and opened the bottle of red wine on the spot.

Immediately, Randy slowly poured some into Steven and Hugo's red wine glasses, stretched out his right hand, and gestured for the two of them to taste, "Although I haven't sobered up yet, the astringency of the taste will be a little heavier, but still You can taste the sweetness of that summer in Napa Valley in 1987.”

Hugo didn't know much about wine tasting, but he still picked up the wine glass, shook it gently, let the red wine touch the air as much as possible, put the glass on the nose, and sniffed gently, it was really refreshing. And the intoxicating aroma is blowing. Putting the wine glass to your mouth and tilting your head slightly, you can feel the collision between red wine and taste buds. Although Hugo doesn't know what the Napa Valley summer tastes like in 1987, the taste is really good, not what Randy said. So astringent, still relatively smooth.

Steven also tasted it a little, and looked at Hugo inquiringly, Hugo shrugged, "I'm not an expert on these, you make the decision."

Steven nodded and said to Randy, "This is the bottle." This is the habit of high-end restaurants. After tasting, if you are not satisfied with the taste, you can return it.

Randy smiled and took a small trailer from the side, then put the red wine in the ice bucket on the trailer, "Enjoy your night." After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

But Randy turned around and took less than a step, then stopped again, sideways out of the way. Hugo could see Randy's actions out of the corner of his eyes, but he didn't think much about it, thinking it was just a guest passing by, but Steven raised his head and looked behind Hugo, with a familiar smile on his face, This made Hugo turn his head in surprise, and then saw a bearded man walking over with a smile on his face.

It's James Cameron!

Steven waved at the other party, greeted with a smile, and said, "Are you coming over for dinner tonight?"

James has a relaxed smile on his face, and it can be seen that he seems to be in a good mood, "No, I just went to the bar next door and I heard that you are here, so I came here to say hello. It's not a good idea to book a place here. It's so easy, I'm still on the waiting list, it is said that I can wait for thirteen days to get a seat. You actually reserved a seat today, and it's a long time in advance, right?"

Hearing James' words, Hugo couldn't help but stunned, even the famous James had to queue for such a long time.

Steven glanced at Hugo and said meaningfully, "I used some shortcuts." This made James chuckle, "If you don't mind, you can join us for dinner tonight, of course, unless You have an appointment in the bar." Steven politely cast a questioning glance at Hugo, who naturally had no problem - Steven said that he had something to do with him today, since history Tiven doesn't mind anymore, and he has no problem.

James explained with a smile, "I went to the bar with a few friends, but I think they can understand, after all, the 'CUT' seat is not so easy to book. If Hugo doesn't mind." The last sentence Naturally looked at Hugo and said.

"Oh, no, of course not. Today, there is Steven's credit card on the counter, so it's naturally no problem for me." Hugo said with a smile, and stood up and took James' initiative to stretch it out. right hand coming out.

Then Hugo moved a position inside, James sat down beside Hugo, Steven raised his hand and summoned Randy, motioning him to bring another set of cutlery.

Only then did Hugo notice that Steven had reserved a four-person deck, not a two-person deck. Is this a coincidence or an accident? Is the appearance of James what Steven expected?

It shouldn't be... Hugo himself denied his conjecture. After all, even if James wants to see him, Steven can say it directly, and there is no need to hide it. So, today's encounter should be an accidental encounter.

"Just now, we haven't ordered a meal yet. Do you have any requirements for red wine?" Steven took the initiative and said, James waved his hands again and again, "I didn't ask, don't care about me."

Looking at James' modest appearance, Hugo felt very unfamiliar, because people all over the world knew that James was a man with self-esteem and self-confidence. He tended to take all the initiative in his own hands. Dominant, to say the least, is a control freak. On the set, James is very disliked by others challenging his authority, even hateful, and because of his short temper, there are often conflicts on the set.

Even in Hollywood, where there are countless personalities, James is one of the best, and almost everyone who has worked with him is miserable. Not long ago, when he was at Industrial Light and Magic, George Lucas could feel James' strength in just a few words.

James went through five marriages before and after, and the duration could not last long. The main reason was that James was too strong, did not know how to compromise, and collided too frequently, until Suzy Amis, who was gentle, docile and low-key ( Suzy. Amis) changed. Suzy, who played the heroine's granddaughter in "Titanic", even launched the film industry for Cameron and devoted herself to marrying her husband and teaching children at home, which stabilized James' marriage life.

But Hugo has forgotten one thing. Although James is dubbed "the king of the world" by many people, in fact he has not caught up with the golden age of Hollywood. He is not the same four directors as Steven and George. In fact, it was after watching George's "Star Wars" that he confirmed his desire to become a director, so he quit his job as a truck driver and entered Hollywood, starting from behind the scenes.

This is really incredible. James only became a director after entering the 1980s. "Terminator" was his first self-written and directed work, and then quickly became the king of commercial films, "Abyss". , "Alien 2", "Terminator 2", "True Lies"... and "Titanic", "Avatar" that later won the world's attention...

Therefore, in front of top directors such as George and Steven, James is relatively restrained. Of course, the main reason is because this is not a studio, not a workplace, and they don't need to get along day and night, so short-term peace is not uncommon. If James has always been a thorn in the face of compromise, then the huge and overspend shocking investments such as "Terminator 2", "Titanic" and "Avatar" will hardly happen. Obviously, James is also a smart guy.

Then Randy handed over the menu, and with his help, the three completed the order. The atmosphere became lively in the simple conversation, but Steven never mentioned the so-called serious business. Hugo didn't know whether it was because James was here, or whether Steven was in a hurry, and he didn't think much about it.

"I was on the phone with George the other day, and I heard that you have come up with many fantastic ideas, which are of great help to the new work I am preparing." James mentioned casually.

This made Hugo wave his hands again and again, "George is exaggerating, I just put forward a little idea, I am not involved in the real work at all. For digital and technology, it is really not my forte."

"Hehe, this is the charm of technology. With a little thought, countless miracles can be created." The smile on James' face was very relaxed, "Isn't that what you are shooting now? I heard , the special effects inside are wonderful.”

It seems that James seems very happy to talk to Hugo.
