Chapter 1940: 1940 Sudden Chaos

Michael was able to become the chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and he dealt with many top people in power on a daily basis, so it was naturally impossible to show his feet easily. He let out a light breath to vent the pent-up air in his chest, but then deliberately showed a very obvious embarrassment expression, "Sorry, the beer just now has obviously started to play a role." A simple sentence covered it up The small change in his expression just now.

At this time, because of factors such as lights and noise in the club, the details are easy to be lost, but at this moment Hugo drank some wine, and his reaction was slower than usual, so naturally he did not notice Michael's almost fleeting appearance. Strange, he nodded with a smile, "That's one of the purposes of enjoying the night, isn't it? It seems that you had a good night."

Michael chuckled a few times, "Are you here with your friends today?" This non-aggressive casual question made Hugo point to the direction behind him, but he didn't specify where he was sitting— — Hugo still maintained enough vigilance in his mind, "Yes, a few friends gathered together."

Michael looked behind Hugo and said in a relaxed tone, "I thought it was the finale of your work, but it doesn't look like it now." So clear? Michael actually recognized the people in the booth immediately, and it was still under the lights of the club? "Not long ago, I heard a friend mention your work. He could hardly hold back his excitement, and wanted to see it on the big screen right away."

This sentence is a bit long, because Hugo couldn't hear the music clearly for a while, and leaned forward, Michael paused slightly, bit his teeth hard, and then said again, "I have listened to a lot The news said that your work this time is very worth looking forward to. This is the best thing for the audience."

Michael knew the timing was bad, but he still played a side-ball to test it out.

Hugo shook his head modestly, "Every time before the filming of a work, we all look forward to it, don't we?" But he has no intention of discussing "The Truman Show" directly.

"I hope so, indeed." Michael nodded with a smile. "It's like 'as good as it gets'. It's really a surprise, isn't it? Can still say that."

Michael was still a little impatient, but due to the limited environment of the club, he had nothing to do. He planned to continue with the "perfect" thing, compliment Hugo's script, and then talk about "LA Confidential". Both works are great examples of well-written scripts that try to create some buzz. Although a little impatient, it is still within a controllable range overall.

This is Michael's plan for today, he won't talk about more things, just stop, but that's enough. For the rest of the further conversation, we will wait until the next time to look for opportunities. If they are all crowded tonight, it may be self-defeating.

However, Michael didn't wait for Hugo's answer. He only saw a faint smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth. He opened his mouth and said two words, and there was a loud noise behind him. The sound of music on the dance floor not only interrupted Hugo's words, but also completely confused the entire dance floor. Everyone screamed like a frightened bird and swarmed towards the corner, and the whole venue was completely chaotic. .

No one will forget that this is the "river", the hip-hop battle between the East and West Banks has evolved to the point where guns are exchanged in public on the street, and some people have surrendered their lives for this. Therefore, a little commotion is enough to make people panic, not to mention the huge commotion in front of them, which almost scared the three souls and seven souls away.

Hugo's heart was beating violently suddenly, and his first reaction was to turn his head and look at the booth where he was, because he knew exactly what happened here today, Snoop Dogg and Puff Daddy were there In the same space, even though Puff Daddy knew the plan of EMI Records today, and it was only with his consent that Roger arranged the meeting here, what's more, they didn't let Puff Daddy The plan of Dad and Snoopy meeting directly, logically, nothing will happen at all, but... who knows?

Through the chaotic crowd, Hugo saw that his deck was not the source of the disaster. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the chaos in front of them in astonishment. Snoopy-Dogg stood up directly and immediately He just pulled out a pistol from his waist, but he just stood there and didn't make any further movements.

Seeing the pistol with his own eyes made Hugo's heart shrink again, but fortunately there was no accident for the time being, Hugo turned his head again and looked around, but the chaos in front of him made it impossible to see clearly what happened Something--because there was something wrong with what was okay before.

Michael stood there and gritted his teeth fiercely, but he was helpless. When he learned that Hugo appeared in the "river", he expected such an accident. Recently, this area is really not safe. Now, as expected, something happened.

Michael was a little hesitant at this moment. He knew that such chaos was actually a huge safety hazard, but at the same time, it was also a perfectly suitable opportunity - he didn't need to do anything, he just needed to be by Hugo's side, in such a crisis situation It is easy to eliminate the barrier between two people, at least they can become friends, so it will definitely be beneficial to the next negotiation. But even if Michael doesn't need to take any specific action, his life is at stake, and that's the ultimate sacrifice.

So, Michael is thinking: Is this a good deal? In order to become friends with Hugo, in order for Hugo to attend the Golden Globe Awards, and for a question of illusory probability, is he really willing to put his life in danger?

At this moment, a loud "bang" came again, and the loud music on the dance floor was still playing, but no one was laughing in the audience, only the noise that became extremely restless because of fear; All the security guards have been mobilized, and everyone has pulled out their weapons—not electric batons or emergency batons, but all guns. This directly makes the audience completely covered in fear, which further sets off the loud music. Very empty.

"Bang! Bang!" There was a continuous dull sound, and then one saw clumsy bodies rolling down one after another on the stairs leading to the second floor, which alarmed the guests below the stairs and they all stepped aside. Come on, make the scene more restless.

Hugo only felt that the alcohol was starting to hit his head, and his temples were throbbing faintly. He looked back, only to find that Michael who was still by his side just now had disappeared. He thought Michael was scattered by the crowd, so he looked around, but then Then he realized that the two of them were just casual acquaintances, and when they encountered such a crisis, they naturally took care of themselves first. Hugo quickly withdrew his gaze, and was about to go back to the booth and stand with his friends. This was the wisest choice.

"Grass! Grass! Grass!" A roar roared, "It's me... I hit the wrong person... I! It's me..." The intermittent and scattered voices were very strange in the abnormal silence. Clear, mixed with the restless sound of a group fight, it actually added a sense of joy.

Hugo couldn't help but looked back, and now it seems that there should be no problem with the contradiction between East and West hip-hop, but a problem that may occur in any club-drunk guests make trouble, and dealing with this kind of thing is almost a problem in every club. Fundamentals of the club. It's just that Hugo was a little surprised that this fight was so sensational. It can be seen that although the management of "River" is strict, it is a little loose.

Turning around, Hugo saw a familiar figure in the flickering light, which made Hugo stunned. The first reaction was that he had misread it, and then there was another confusion, foul words Mixed with the muffled sound of fists, there was no way to maintain the order at the scene. This made the figure that Hugo saw just now disappear again.

Hugo suspected that the person he saw was Leonardo. He originally wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it carefully, he took two steps forward, trying to confirm the figure just now, and then Hugo saw A figure who was not strong was directly grabbed by two security guards, and he was lifted up to the second floor with his arms crossed. He was dragged upstairs with a "squeak".

That scene did look funny, but the chaos that was forcefully suppressed at the scene was not funny at all.

"It's okay, it's okay! Don't make a fuss!" Several security guards raised their pistols and surrounded the dance floor, talking loudly, signaling for everyone to stand up again and continue to enjoy themselves, but the dark gunpoints and stairs are still there. The few figures who were struggling, did not have any atmosphere of enjoyment at all, but let the cold of fear go deep into the bone marrow.

Hugo knew from his memory that Lancaster was no stranger to such a situation. During the period after "Hudson's Eagle", he not only witnessed it many times, but also experienced it many times. . Therefore, although it was the first time for Hugo to come into contact with the fear of gun freedom, his blood became cold in an instant; but his beating heartbeat slowly calmed down.

Hugo turned back and walked to the booth just now, seeing the pistol in Snoopy's hand, he couldn't help but pause, Snoopy immediately realized his impoliteness, but he just shrugged his shoulders, saying "There's no need to make a fuss over a molehill" With an expression on his face, he stuffed the pistol into his pocket again. Hugo didn't say much, and looked at Henry and Fokkin, "I saw Leo just now, it seems that he was involved in the brawl."

Both Fu Jin and Henry looked at Hugo, showing solemn expressions, Fu Jin stood up directly, walked out of the booth, and prepared to go to help. Seeing this scene, Snoopy didn't sit down in a hurry, looked at Fu Jin, then at Hugo, "Is there anything I can do to help? This is California after all."
