Chapter 186 Chapter 186

It was a very pleasant dinner. Although Hugo and Nora were talking most of the time, Rob and Joseph were not idle, and they would interject a few words from time to time to make the atmosphere of the dinner relaxed and comfortable. . After dinner, Nora even asked for dessert, which didn't end until half past ten.

After Hugo got into the spacious and comfortable passenger seat of Renault, Joseph steadily drove the car out of the parking lot and drove back in the direction of home. After replacing the van, the good car is obviously more stable and comfortable, and Joseph obviously loves this car, and he must drive a lap almost every day - even if Hugo has no trips in the past two days.

But today Joseph didn't have the heart to enjoy the pleasure of driving, and his tense emotions could finally be relieved, "Wow, Hugo, you know, you are really adventurous today. Any mistake may make The atmosphere of the dinner is ruined, and Rob will probably be embarrassed too."

Hugo also felt mentally exhausted. In fact, in the first half of tonight's dinner, Hugo was always on high alert, because he had to integrate into a role, as if he was acting all the time. This made Hugo experience time. It is not easy for spies, and every minute of life is spent in another identity. What kind of torment this is.

Of course, this entire performance was another test for Hugo, because he had to think about how a widower like Sam would respond to these situations that did not exist in the script, not only for the characters Further comprehension, deep analysis of the character after breaking away from the script; at the same time, it is also a higher-level test for Hugo to hypnotize himself and enter the state of acting. Although there are still some flaws in the whole process, Hugo has appeared in a few cases and returned to the "Hugo-Lancaster" state, but overall it is still very good.

This is also the reason why Hugo is mentally tired, such a conversation is really hard.

"If you don't try it like this, you can see that it's over without a beginning." Hugo leaned back on the chair, feeling the softness of the leather wrapped in sponge, relaxing his body and mind. "Everyone For every role in the script, they have countless choices, and there are 100,000 actors in Hollywood, and no one is irreplaceable."

This is the status quo of Hollywood, but also the status of the entire society. No one is irreplaceable. You have to rely on your own efforts to win your own position, otherwise life will soon overwhelm you. Unless you are willing to be like Tao Yuanming, "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing the southern mountains leisurely", you must work hard - of course, in modern society, even if you become Tao Yuanming, you need an economic foundation.

Although Nora did not make a decision on the spot today, Joseph can feel it. Because of Hugo's efforts, Nora's view has changed. This is a huge change, turning the impossible into a possibility, and the future is It is worth looking forward to.

Joseph suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. In fact, as an agent, all he can do is to win an audition opportunity for Hugo, and then try to build a good relationship with the producer and use his negotiation skills to win for Hugo. More interests, other than that, there is not much he can do. But looking at Hugo working so hard, Joseph felt that he should do more, because he felt that Hugo deserved more.

Neither Joseph nor Hugo spoke again. The brand-new Renault space moved forward smoothly on the roads of Los Angeles. The thick night passed through the window, filling the car with a quiet tranquility and stability, heading towards home. . When he got home, Joseph discovered that Hugo had fallen asleep, and he was really tired.

Joseph did not rush to wake Hugo, but sat quietly in the car for about 20 minutes, until Hugo slowly woke up before he said, "If you're sleepy, go upstairs quickly. , take a shower and rest."

Hugo rubbed his sullen eyes, replied casually, and got out of the car with heavy steps. After returning to the third floor, Hugo washed up casually, fell on the bed, and fell into a drowsy sleep.

This sleep went straight to the next morning. When Hugo woke up, the house was still empty. Charlize and Alex hadn't come back yet, but Hugo had recovered. After all, acting was just a mental exercise. It's not a physical job. After a good night's sleep, I wake up, take a bath with a refreshing feeling, and then start looking at the empty refrigerator, thinking about what to have for breakfast.

When Joseph came to the third floor, what he saw was Hugo standing in front of the refrigerator. He gasped and asked, "Forgot to go to the supermarket?"

In the past few days, Hugo stayed here by himself, so he didn't buy too much when he went to the supermarket. After he finished eating, there was no stock left. Hugo curled his lips, "Let's go in the afternoon, there are still more in the cupboard. Two boxes of cornflakes." He closed the refrigerator door, and when he turned around, he saw Joseph in a sports suit, sweating profusely, and Hugo immediately laughed, "Uh, do you have a date tonight?"

"Uh, no, I just want to start exercising." Joseph said out of breath, he would never admit that he didn't sleep well last night because of stress, and woke up early this morning, Finally decided to welcome the coming 1993 with a new attitude, and fitness is a good start - while also being able to lose weight.

Hugo was immediately amused by Joseph's words, and laughed, "Are you serious? Don't joke with me." Joseph's body has always been fat, especially in the past six months. The height of inches (1.88) is now at least 220 pounds (100 kilograms). Hugo also teased Joseph before, saying that there were too many trips at the end of the year, and everyone else lost weight, but Joseph was too much. Hard work and increased appetite, the result is fat.

As an actor, Hugo can't let his body change drastically-unless it is needed for filming, even if Hugo is not an action actor like Arnold Schwarzenegger, he does not need to maintain muscle lines, but Hugo also You can't just eat sea food like this, and make too many deviations in your body shape, especially the two works "The Hero of the Righteous Sea" and "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" both require Hugo to keep in shape, plus he sucks before. Poison causes poor physical fitness, so Hugo has always insisted on exercising to maintain his health.

Joseph once tried to work out with Hugo. Actually, it is not called fitness, just running for half an hour before going to bed at night, but Joseph gave up after only two days.

So, seeing Joseph started exercising again today, Hugo's first reaction was to laugh out loud, but seeing the depression on Joseph's face, Hugo quickly restrained his smile, "At least this is a good start, I have As I said, you are only healthy if you are under 180 pounds. Now that you are willing to work hard, it is naturally the best."

There are too many high-calorie junk foods in Western eating habits, which has led to the fact that many Westerners are too large. Especially after entering the 21st century, the proportion of obese children has risen rapidly, causing Western health scientists to full attention. Therefore, in Hugo's view, it may be difficult to change eating habits, but it is necessary to at least adhere to basic exercise and maintain good health.

Joseph looked at Hugo's half-smiley expression and knew that Hugo still had something to say, that is, "I don't know how long it will last." Joseph gave Hugo a hateful look, and then held his hand. The newspaper came to the table, "Here, this is today's 'Los Angeles Times' with good news."

Hugo didn't read the newspaper, but said quickly, "Otherwise, when I go for a run in the future, you will be with me too? At least, I have one more company, maybe I can last longer."

Joseph remembered that Hugo ran unremittingly every day when he was not filming, and also had some basic fitness movements. This perseverance is indeed admirable, but it also added pressure. Joseph couldn't help but hesitate, "It's counted. Now, the pace and length of your run, I can't handle it."

The smile on Hugo's face couldn't help but rise again. He knew that Joseph was still shrinking, so his smile couldn't help but play a little more, "You can adjust it according to your own situation, or ask a professional, you know , I'm not a professional fitness trainer."

When Joseph saw Hugo's banter, he knew that his thoughts had been seen through. His cheeks suddenly heated up, and he said angrily, "Okay, I'll exercise with you. It's good to have someone to supervise each other." He turned his neck to look at Hugo, showing his determination.

Now that you have decided to welcome the new year with a new attitude, give yourself some pressure and motivation. What's more, Hugo will definitely be busy in the next January, and the frequency of exercise will definitely not be so high. Thinking of this, Joseph feels a little more at ease.

Hugo was not surprised by Joseph's answer at all, and nodded half-smiling, "Okay, let's start tonight." Having said that, Hugo paused for a while, "Let's say, you start from tomorrow, after all you are today. Did you run in the morning?"

"Tonight!" Joseph said decisively without rolling his eyes. Now Joseph and Hugo get along much more freely. Compared with the situation in January this year when he was not too expressive and his emotions were more serious, Joseph was a lot more "lively".

Hugo nodded approvingly. This is obviously a positive expression, but it looks awkward in Joseph's eyes, and his eyes can't help but turn away awkwardly.

Hugo decided to stop teasing Joseph, and picked up the "Los Angeles Times" on the dining table, "So, what's the news today, you just said there's good news?"

"Oh, yes, the Golden Globe nominations are out." Joseph quickly recovered and said to Hugo.
