Chapter 1768: 1768 Call for Help
Objectively speaking, Hugo is indeed at the pinnacle of his career now, and he has almost reached a height that no one can reach. For him, whether it is music or movies, there are not many challenges. It's a bit arrogant to say that, but it's true.
The previous pace of constantly chasing dreams seems to have lost the direction of progress and the motivation to continue sprinting.
Of course, Hugo also knows that he is only halfway there. His achievements so far seem brilliant, but they are still not worth mentioning compared to those real top superstars. Because the so-called superstars and so-called artists have achieved such a reputation after a long test of time and years of precipitation. If Hugo has no way to continue to persevere, then he is at best a shooting star—even if the shooting star is bright and hot, it is still a shooting star after all.
The entertainment industry is a cruel and simple world. Hugo has established his position today with repeated successes. He doesn't want to prove himself to anyone, but he needs time to test himself. So, Hugo still has a long, long way to go.
Hugo couldn't be more clear about these principles. However, it is not so easy to adjust your mentality. It is like the loneliness and loneliness after walking off the stage surrounded by 110,000 spectators in Madison Square Garden. Thinking to make a judgment... That empty feeling is terrible, but there is no way to make up for it.
If you want to think about it from the perspective of performance, in fact, the characters in the three scripts of "LA Confidential", "Boogie Nights" and "Murder Lebowski" are all very interesting and have their own characteristics.
The three protagonists of "LA Confidential" are completely different, and their performance styles and digging angles are also completely different; It is involuntary humor under the social background, while "Murder Lebowski" has the exaggerated humor of the fate of the little people.
Of course, when it comes to specific details of each role, there are still advantages and disadvantages. This requires Hugo to carefully read the script and carefully study the context of the script and the shaping of the characters. But now Hugo can't calm down to study the scripts. In fact, he has read all three scripts, but now he has no way to think carefully. This feeling makes people feel powerless.
Raising his head, he put "L.A. Confidential" which he had watched for a third on the bench next to him. Hugo raised his feet, hugged his knees tightly, and quietly watched the sunset in front of him. The blood-red sunset dyed the entire sky in bright colors, the blue sea waves were churning and surging in the blood-like glow, and the sea breeze could still hear the sound of frolicking on the beach, lightly floating in the air. The ground shook slightly, but at this moment the world was unprecedentedly quiet, so quiet that all impetuousness had settled down.
Hugo likes such moments, as if he is the only one left in the world, but he is not the only one. The short-term freedom and comfort seem to make all the troubles unimportant.
Picking up the mobile phone next to him, Hugo wanted to chat with someone, maybe not about the script or work, but just chatting. After thinking about it, Hugo pressed Cameron's phone number, but he couldn't press it with his thumb on the green call button. Even when the call got through, he didn't know what to say.
Thinking of the phone call he received from Cameron in the San Francisco hospital, she burst into tears because she was so worried that she couldn't help herself-this was the second time Hugo had a mental problem, which almost scared her Dead, Liushen Wuzhu to the point that his voice began to tremble slightly. Therefore, Hugo didn't know whether his state today would worry Cameron again. He was not sure whether he should tell Cameron the pressure he felt in his heart.
But... at least he should try it out, shouldn't he?
Pressed the green call button, and soon Cameron answered the phone, her voice was full of surprises, "Hey, Hugo, why did you call me?" Before the voice finished, you could hear Her laughter bloomed cheerfully.
The corners of Hugo's mouth could not help but draw a slight curve, "I was watching the sunset, and I thought it was so beautiful, so I thought of you." Putting his chin on his knees, he looked at the flame-like sunset in front of him. Sunset, "Where are you now? Can you see the sunset?"
"Yes, I can see it too." Cameron's excited voice came over, "Wow, today's sunset is really beautiful." Cameron couldn't help sighing, "God, did you see the sunset in the sky?" Is that huge cloud? It looks like a big turtle, but now it's a big turtle dyed red."
Hugo also raised his head, and then saw the cloud that Cameron was talking about, and burst out laughing, "I don't think it would like to be described like this."
"But the group behind it, are her children? Oh, God, look, it's a big group." Cameron's lively words completely outlined the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, "Damn, now it seems It's like shit. Shit! I actually said foul language!" Cameron's self-talk completely made Hugo overjoyed.
But after laughing, Hugo couldn't help being stunned, "Hey, is the scenery you see exactly the same as mine?" Although it is said that the sky we see is the same, the sky we see in different regions is different. Will the scenery be the same? Listening to Cameron's description just now, those clouds are almost exactly the same as those in Long Beach.
"..." Cameron didn't speak. Just when Hugo thought the phone was disconnected, she burst out laughing, "Of course I hope it's the same. Such a beautiful sunset, don't you plan to have sex with other women?" Let's watch together?" The voice sounded in Hugo's ear, but it sounded so close, as if it was really ringing behind him, and before Hugo turned his head, he saw Cameron walking from the side figure.
Hugo's eyes widened, and he just stayed where he was. Cameron jumped on the spot, and said angrily, "It's almost there. If you react slower, I can scare you."
"You...how did you appear here?" Hugo blurted out. He never expected that Cameron would sneak to Long Beach City. If Rick knew, he would definitely be furious, because Cameron is definitely the object of intensive attention by the paparazzi. Once Hugo's location is exposed because of Cameron's whereabouts, then Hugo's recuperation will be ruined.
Cameron, on the other hand, laughed out loud, and said coquettishly, "Why, don't you want me to appear?" This made Hugo touch his nose shyly, and explained, "You know that's not what I mean", Kame Cameron sat directly next to Hugo, hugged Hugo's shoulders tightly, and said with a smile, "I know!" Then Cameron bit his lips lightly, and said "shh", "However, remember not to tell Rick that I came here secretly."
Hugo was stunned, but didn't know how to answer. Cameron quickly explained, "I've confirmed that there are really no paparazzi. I sneaked away from the back after going to the supermarket, and arrived at the rental car by bus. I rented a car temporarily." After speaking, Cameron showed a triumphant expression, "How is it, am I doing well?"
Hugo couldn't laugh or cry, but finally nodded with a smile, "Yes, well done." Hugo pressed a kiss on Cameron's forehead, "Well, it's dinner time, you drove all the way here You must be hungry too, what are your plans for today?"
Cameron raised his head to look at Hugo, and asked with wry eyes, "You are the master here, don't you plan to show me around?"
Hugo squeezed Cameron's chin, "Of course there is no problem. I will show you around. I think Neil and the others will be back in a while, and then Neil will cook." Zamora also stayed in Los Angeles recently, so they The meals of this group of men who knew nothing about cooking plummeted, and Neil, who could barely distinguish between sugar and salt, became "the guy with the best cooking skills."
"Hugo, Hugo, the waves are really good today, it's really...hey, Cameron if you don't go!" Pedro ran in excitedly, with sea water dripping from his head, hugging the surfboard, face There was a bright smile on his face, but after seeing the uninvited guest, he could hardly control his expression and was completely stunned.
Cameron raised his right hand to greet Pedro, and then Fokkin and Neil walked in together, "Pepe, go in! What are you doing blocking the door with a surfboard!" Then the two walked in, Seeing Cameron sitting on the side, the two of them frowned slightly and exchanged glances, but in the end they didn't say anything, they just greeted Cameron.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little dull. Suddenly, the mobile phone that Hugo hadn't put down rang sharply, and Hugo stood up quickly, "Pepe, show Cameron a tour, and then we'll see... Neil is cooking or ordering takeout?" Bar."
Neil walked over to Hugo, and asked in a low voice, "Does Rick know?" Hugo shook his head, and Neil frowned slightly. Without saying anything, he greeted Cameron and left. past.
Hugo looked down at this time. Although the phone did not have a caller ID, but after using it for a long time, he could roughly remember the number now. It was actually a call from Charlize. Hugo originally thought it was a call from Rick or Joseph, but he raised his head and explained to Fokkin, "It's Charlize, I'll be here as soon as I answer the call."
Then, Hugo gave way to the side, allowing Pedro, Fokkin and their surfboards to pass by, and at the same time picked up the phone, "Hey, Charlize, don't tell me you're also in Long Beach now?"
However, a strange crying sound came from the other end of the phone, like a helpless child, whimpering softly, "Hugo..." After that, there was a long silence, only caused by crying for too long Hiccups came intermittently, "I... I don't know what happened." The fragmented voice floated slightly in the bloody setting sun.
