Chapter 1763 Chapter 1763

The sun was too dazzling today, and the rearview mirror was always reflecting light. It took Joseph a while to reverse the car into the parking space. After turning off the engine, he pulled out the key, opened the door and walked out. The heat wave against his face made Joseph couldn't help squinting his eyes. It was only May, and Los Angeles was already feeling the heat. He opened the car door again, took a pair of sunglasses, and then started walking.

There is an American breakfast restaurant in front of you. The bright sunshine fills the front and back of the store with the atmosphere of summer, and the refreshing air from the ocean not far from the beach makes this morning even more beautiful. The open outdoor seats are full of people. They are all guests, and everyone is enjoying this rare leisure.

"Hey, Joe." A shout came from the right, and Joseph looked over subconsciously, and then saw the amiable smiling face of Thomas Rothman, who is the general manager of the 20th Century Fox film department and is currently One of the most powerful top men in Hollywood. Standing beside Thomas was a senior agent from Creative Artists Agency. He also raised his head generously and smiled at Joseph.

Thomas was leaving the breakfast shop at this time, with a cup of coffee in his hand, Joseph nodded with a smile, "Ready to leave?"

Thomas raised the coffee in his hand, and said with a smile of Maitreya Buddha that day, "The short break for breakfast is over, and it's time to go to the company to get busy."

"Compared to New York, we are already thirty minutes behind." Joseph was also infected by Thomas, and replied with a chuckle. It's just that he's used to serious expressions, so even if he's joking, he's a bit dull.

Thomas didn't care, shrugging his shoulders, "Compared to many people, we are already very lucky, at least we still have a job." This made Joseph laugh out loud, "How, what have you done recently? Are you all okay? After Hugo came back to Los Angeles, there was no news, and now it seems that you are on vacation?"

The "Storm" world tour concert has ended for more than half a month, and the closing performance at Madison Square Garden in New York is still talked about by people. Enthusiasm revived back to the stage for an encore performance.

The Madison Square Garden, where the seats were disassembled, fully accommodated 110,000 spectators, and the concert changed from two to four due to the unremitting demands of the fans; tickets for the scalpers were hyped up to 10,000 One dollar, there are still people who are willing to spend a lot of money; but even so, the wishes of the fans were still not satisfied. The entire New England area was completely paralyzed that weekend. There were 3 spectators blocking the perimeter of the arena.

Even so, when the "Storm" tour ended, a large number of fans still gathered at Madison Square Garden and were reluctant to leave. On the second day, more than 36,000 fans gathered at the scene, and strongly demanded that the tour will continue until the death of glory, but the country still had to announce that this mighty tour has officially come to an end, attracting a lot of people Howling.

The "Storm" tour lasted for half a year, held 97 performances, mobilized 6.9 million spectators, surpassed Michael's "Dangerous Tour" three years ago, and became the largest in the history of world tours. A large-scale performance; achieved more than 50 million profits, becoming the highest-grossing performance in the history of the current tour, and the revenue figure even surpassed the combined results of the two albums "Storm" and "Bath in the Morning Light".

Among them, the peripherals sold at the concert made as much as 8 million US dollars in revenue, all of which went to the "Sally Foundation" created by Glory to Death, which is dedicated to the treatment of seriously ill teenagers and children—not only Not only are terminally ill, but there are also many children who cannot afford high medical expenses due to family poverty.

It can be said that the "Storm" tour is over, but the impact of this tour has not disappeared, and it still deeply affects every part of people's lives in the past two weeks. Glory to Death has just finished their tour, and already some people can't wait to discuss their next show.

But for Hugo fans, they are more concerned about where Hugo's next work will be. It will be a full year since the release of "Independence Day". After the "Day" was completed, there has been no news about Hugo's new work so far—not even rumors.

Not only movie fans are anxious, but major Hollywood film companies are also anxious. After Hugo came back from the tour, he disappeared completely. To be precise, after the tour ended in New York, no one caught the news of the Glory to Death members, including the paparazzi.

There are rumors that Hugo flew to a small Pacific island for vacation; there are also rumors that Hugo hid in Asia to experience life; there are also rumors that Hugo is traveling in the Amazon jungle now... the paparazzi are there almost every day Hugo wandered around the Malibu villa and Los Angeles apartment, and even went to the residences of Leonardo, Cameron, Charlize, Alex and others for a long time to monitor, including Lanches, who were included in the scope of surveillance. But still no sign of Hugo.

In fact, Hugo is currently on vacation in Long Beach (Long. Beach) - only twenty miles from Los Angeles, even closer than Malibu, a place that no one thought of. It's just that no one knew that Hugo was in Long Beach, and it was impossible to know.

At the end of last year, Hugo let Zamora quietly go to Long Beach to buy a brand new villa. This villa is right next to the beach, and you can sunbathe, surf, etc. just a hundred yards away. The overall area is nearly twice the size of the Malibu villa, about 17,000 square feet. It is divided into a main villa and two vacation cottages And a swimming pool room, each house is designed independently, the basic equipment of three bedrooms and one living room is matched with a game room, gym, study, garden and a small football field.

It's not so much a villa, but a small manor. After buying it, it was completely refurbished, and it cost a total of fifteen million dollars. The main reason is that Long Beach is now well-developed. Not only is it a well-developed tourist city, but there are also a lot of rich people who choose to vacation here, so the cost is much more expensive than Malibu, which has just started. However, compared with the rapidly rising real estate bubble after the 21st century, the cost of this manor couldn't be lower.

Pedro, Neil, Fokin and Alfonso also bought a set of villas in other locations in Long Beach, ranging from large to small. Pedro is the closest to Hugo, across the street; the farthest is Alfonso. It can be reached in twenty-five minutes on foot. Pedro even joked that he should buy a yacht so that he could go back to Malibu by sea without anyone noticing; and then buy a helicopter so that no one would know when he left Los Angeles.

Due to the secrecy of this series of operations, no one knows that the members of the Deathly Glory are quietly vacationing in Long Beach.

Listening to Thomas's temptation, Joseph had already gotten used to it. He shrugged with a chuckle, but his answer was impeccable, "Work, work, work all the time. Hollywood never takes a vacation, does it?" Thomas asked Hugo, but Joseph answered himself, the bull's head was wrong.

Thomas didn't care, just nodded with a smile, "Indeed, you are working all the time. Then I wish you good luck." After speaking, Thomas left with his companions.

Joseph frowned slightly. It was obvious that Thomas' last sentence meant something, but what exactly did he mean? However, Joseph didn't pay much attention to it. He knew that Hollywood was turbulent recently, and almost any disturbance would trigger a chain effect, but for Hugo, he always had the initiative, so he didn't need to worry too much.

However, before his thoughts fell, Joseph saw the unexpected candidate when he walked into the breakfast shop, and suddenly realized that Thomas was reminding himself just now.

Rick saw Joseph immediately, and raised his hand to beckon—Joseph invited Rick to have breakfast here this morning, but an unexpected guest appeared, and he was sitting beside Rick at this time. Joseph and Rick exchanged glances, and had a basic understanding of the situation. A smile was slightly drawn at the corner of their mouths, they nodded, and they walked over unhurriedly.

Rick didn't make any special movements, but the stranger sitting next to him stood up with a smile on his face, stretched out his hands to Joseph, and greeted him, "I didn't expect that he would be eating Met you at breakfast."

It was obvious that he was talking nonsense, but Joseph kept his composure and held the other's hand with a smile, "Los Angeles is such a small place, isn't it? I just met Thomas Rothman outside .”

This name made the other party's eyes light up, obviously understanding Thomas' identity, "Of course, this is also the reason why many young people always want to come to Los Angeles, who knows if the person eating at the next table is Steven Speer Berger." He shrugged, then added, "Or Hugo Lancaster."

Joseph laughed out loud, but before he could answer, Rick stood up and made a relief for Joseph, "Joe, this is Curtis Hansen; Curtis, this is Joseph Gibbs."

"Mr. Hansen, of course I know. Hugo mentioned the work 'Wild River' to me, and he likes it very much." Joseph is naturally very familiar with Hollywood, and the answer is completely handy. "Wild River" was Curtis's last work, which attracted Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon - both friends of Hugo, so Joseph's sentence is not Just talk about it.

"It's my honor." Curtis also said politely, then showed a hesitant expression, and said humbly, "I just came here to say hello, and now it seems to disturb you, I will go first Farewell."
