Chapter 1489 1489 Chaos After Drinking
Hugo only felt that his whole head was dizzy, and he didn't remember how much he was drunk. Later, he played ******** with Rick, Kevin, Tom, Alan and others, and the bet was not a bargaining chip, It was alcohol. Hugo seemed to have run out of luck tonight, so it was just one cup after another. He could already feel his stomach rolling, and it seemed that he might vomit at any time.
Hugo managed to escape Leonardo's control with great difficulty and left the bottommost space. It was so stuffy in it that it made people feel like he couldn't breathe. He came to the deck and turned himself into a mess. brain is calm and calm.
The time has become blurred, and I don't know what time it is. There is a hazy darkness in my vision. Jo revealed the little light at the end of the horizon, which should be where the City of Angels is. At this time, the whole city has completely fallen silent, exuding a faint glow like a firefly, as if it was lost in the depths of the sea. Civilization in general, distant, quiet, mysterious.
I originally thought that there would be strong winds and turbulent waves in the middle of the night, but I didn't want the entire sea level to be very quiet. This made Hugo's chaotic thoughts gradually settle down. A lot of things happened tonight, or to be more precise, a lot of things happened in the past year. He needs a little time to cool down his overheated brain, otherwise he doesn't know when will explode.
Hugo also did not expect that he would be able to stand where he is today. Not only has he achieved great success at the box office, but he also won the Oscar winner, not to mention the winners of Cannes and Berlin. Just a year ago, Hugo could not have imagined the current situation.
But when the excitement of winning the Oscar began to fade away, Hugo began to be confused. He has now achieved success that many people can't imagine in their entire lives. He is now standing on the highest peak in the world, in the words of the media. It is a "superstar", as long as he wants, he can immediately become the hero of "Titanic", and even challenge James Cameron, and it is difficult for the producers to say no to the script he is interested in.
Not to mention the enjoyment in terms of money, his current net worth is already a life-long worry about food and clothing. Of course, if he truly enjoys life in the upper class like Alan, he has only just glimpsed the threshold, but this is still beyond the reach of ordinary people. achievable success.
What about the future?
Hugo suddenly felt empty, should he be in "Titanic"? Should he choose another work beyond "Death Ramble" to challenge the new peak of acting? Should he organize Glory to the Dead for a second tour? Should he put in the preparations for the band's new album?
In fact, before the Oscars, Hugo had already felt this kind of confusion. At that time, James put the "Titanic" project in front of Hugo. It was the first time that Hugo knew that he had the hope of appearing in this movie. One of the important works, it is no exaggeration to say that "Titanic" is equivalent to "Gone with the Wind" in the history of North American film development. Unexpectedly, Hugo was excited, but he didn't have the kind of eagerness that couldn't wait.
Hugo knew that it was like a mountaineer. After conquering the world's peaks one after another, and finally reaching the top of Mount Everest, the extreme excitement, extreme happiness, and extreme wonderful taste burst out instantly, making the emotions reach the peak. But what about after the peak? It is a downhill road, which is an inevitable result of the laws of nature. After seeing the mountains and small mountains, the heights are extremely cold, so that the fiery heart can't find a support in an instant.
This emptiness almost swallowed Hugo.
Hugo finally understood at this time why so many top stars in Hollywood have their own problems, either relying on alcohol or indulging in drugs. product, or vent on it. sex. Love, or carry it in drag racing...Everyone has a hobby - or a disadvantage. Because they are all standing at the peak, that loneliness, that kind of daze, that kind of loneliness is eroding them all the time, and a huge pressure that may fall and fall to pieces if they are not careful, comes from the spotlight and the Internet's all-round attention without loopholes. It makes the pressure more unbearable. They need a sustenance and a vent.
To put it harshly, everyone in the top stars has a disease, a disease caused by a lot of stress. Hollywood stars, led by Tom Cruise, are willing to join Section. study. Teaching, there are traces to follow.
Hugo has felt such a huge pressure, not only in the days before the Golden Raspberry Awards, but also in the next few years, including before the release of "Bath in the Morning Light". including the days after the release of "Before Sunrise", including the years of leaving the International Innovation Management Company to establish itself as a company... Every footprint has been persevered under great pressure.
But tonight was different, because Hugo lost his goal and lost the motivation to support him to keep moving forward under pressure. The feeling of emptiness almost swallowed him up, and the huge pressure on his shoulders poured down in an instant. Before the Oscars, Hugo was just a little confused, but after the Oscars, when the best actor statue was held tightly in his hands, the emptiness instantly drowned Hugo, and even "Titanic" couldn't make up for that. Terrible black hole.
The little golden man's curse, until this night, really became Hugo's shackles.
Maybe he should join "Titanic" because he knows it's a work that's destined to be written, because he knows it's a work that's going to be brilliant even without his efforts, because he knows it's a An impossible choice to fail... Perhaps, he should have made such a choice.
Looking at the glowing sea city in front of him, Hugo suddenly felt that all his thoughts were lost. The loss of his goal left him at a loss. He could only sit like a puppet without a soul. The rope was pulled. This unprecedented sense of emptiness left Hugo at a loss.
"Hey, you are here." A voice tore through the hazy night, like a little starlight, pulling Hugo's attention to move slowly, but before Hugo's slow movements could see each other, someone was coming in the rain. Guo sat down directly beside him and handed over a white water cup, "Maybe you need a little help."
The warm and bright voice made Hugo's sluggish brain search for the usual track bit by bit, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he saw Alan's familiar face, which made Hugo a little surprised, "Wow, I didn't expect that. You are so attentive." Hugo took the water glass, his hands felt the faint warmth from the glass, and the sweet water vapor mixed with lemon and honey slowly spread under the nose.
"It's not me, I don't have any research on these, I'm just a courier guy, it's Charlize." Allen shook his head with a chuckle, but shook his head three times in Hugo's sight, and Hugo had to close it. She opened her eyes and put the cup under her nose, trying to calm down her dizzy brain. "Charlize noticed your bad situation. She said you would definitely vomit, so I prepared this cup for you... honey water. , but she was temporarily called by Alex to play darts, and I helped bring her here."
"Darts..." Hugo muttered, but he remembered the days when they lived under the same roof, and then he laughed.
Alan watched Hugo smirk with his eyes closed, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth also outlined, "So, what am I thinking of? Is there anything wrong with the darts?"
"No, no..." Hugo originally wanted to shake his head, but found that his head was so dizzy that he had to stop, lowered his head and drank a large mouthful of honey water, the tumbling stomach seemed to slowly settle down, and then drank again Taking a big mouthful, this familiar taste made Hugo's brain feel a little warm, "Just remembering the funny things from the past, you know, Charlize, Alex and I used to be roommates, and we had a lot of interesting things together. thing."
"Yes, I've heard of it." Allen said in a deep voice, muttering, "That's definitely a very interesting thing." However, this sentence was very low, and Hugo didn't hear it, just replied. " Huh?" Allen took a deep breath, "Oh, no, I mean, did you have any fun with darts?"
"Hehe, you would never guess that Charlize is a master of darts, or to be more precise, she is actually a man..." Hugo said slowly with his eyes half closed while holding the cup.
Allen looked sideways at Hugo who was leaning on the back of the chair in a daze, and listened to Hugo's story with a serious face, gave a little response from time to time, and then chuckled lightly. Although Hugo was half drunk at this time and his words were broken, Alan was not impatient at all, just looked at Hugo and listened to Hugo seriously, as if this was the most important thing in the world. Normal things.
In the darkness of the night, Hugo's handsome face was outlined by the stars, which was different from Hugo's usual sunny and gentle temperament, but had a lazy and casual nature. Feeling, the breath mixed with alcohol dances in the sea breeze, exuding a strong masculinity. Unconsciously, Allen was distracted, and his vision blurred. Suddenly, Hugo patted him on the shoulder, "Allen!" "what? What!"
Hugo looked at Alan's panicked expression, but laughed, "Calm down, calm down, I just said, thank you for arranging tonight's party, you are a good friend."
"Good friend?" Allen's voice rose slightly, with a hint of lightness.
Hugo tapped his chin lightly, "Yes, good friend, a very rich good friend, you have shown me a different world, which is not something anyone can do." Hugo's ridicule and banter Alan's expression was stunned, and then he and Hugo laughed together.
