1985 Chapter 1985
"I'm moving today, didn't I tell you before?" A voice came from upstairs, and when I looked up, it was Leonardo, wearing a dark blue T-shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows, With sweat profusely and a flushed face, it can be seen that he is in a good mood.
"James, Alex, come and help, let's move the box at the stairway in." Leonardo didn't wait for Hugo to say anything, he turned around and shouted, and then heard a mess of footsteps, James - Franco and Alexander Lorraine ran down from the back all the way, greeted Hugo with a smile, and then scrambled forward, even surpassing Leonor No, run straight out.
Before Hugo could speak, Leonardo chased after him. He could only stand there in a daze, "Leo moved today? Where did he move from? Why don't I know anything about it?"
Zamora chuckled, "Have you forgotten? Didn't Leo say that he would come and live here for a while, and then he brought his luggage here today."
Of course Hugo knew that Leonardo said he was coming to live. He had said it before going to Lanches, and Hugo didn't take it seriously. Because Leonardo stays here most of the time when he is on vacation-not only Leonardo, but everyone else. However, I didn't expect that Leonardo meant to move here this time. Looking at the pile of boxes in front of him, he knew that Leonardo was not joking.
No wonder the paparazzi asked those words at the door just now! Hugo was stunned for an instant and felt dizzy for a while. Why did he have an ominous premonition?
"I know, but...he...isn't...so...what's going on?" Hugo faltered a lot, but he didn't know what he should say at all. He only felt that the reaction speed of his brain Can't keep up at all.
At this time, Leonardo and three people had already come in with the box on their shoulders, "Lower your head", "You shouldn't be so fast", "I'm going in the wrong direction"... The three of them were bustling and noisy, all with a tone of voice. With a touch of lightness, the entire empty villa became extremely lively, and a strong breath of life rushed to his face, which actually reminded Hugo of the time when he moved into Sunset Plaza.
"Leo, Leo, wait a minute." Hugo shouted, and then the three of them stopped in place immediately and found that Leonardo had his back to Hugo.
James was facing Hugo at this time, and his childish face was extremely excited. He stared at Hugo with rounded eyes, and the excitement between his brows and eyes was like fireflies flying in the night sky. Before Hugo could respond, Alex told James and Leonardo to turn around, and then the three of them took small steps cautiously and started circling in circles. They looked like penguins, which made people laugh. In the end, Leonardo faced Hugo head-on, his eyes that looked like bright stars looked at Hugo, raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
Hugo looked at Leonardo's shining eyes, and the words on his mouth became blurred. He didn't remember what to say to Leonardo, and finally he could only laugh helplessly, "It's okay , you go upstairs be careful."
"Don't worry, we've already moved several people upstairs, and we've gained experience." Leonardo said while winking at James and Alex, and all three of them laughed. "Come on, James, lean back a little bit, so that it will be more convenient for me to pass here..."
Seeing the three people carrying the box upstairs, Hugo looked back at Zamora, "Is it like this all day today?"
Zamora shrugged, "Don't look at me, you don't know how the three of them usually do." Among this group of people, the oldest Alex was only twenty-five years old. After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the kitchen, continuing to say, "Don't you have a dinner date tonight, don't you plan to take a shower and change clothes? Otherwise, you will probably be late."
"Oh, we changed the meeting place, it's in Malibu, so I still have a little time. But... I really should make preparations." Hugo looked at the clock on the wall before leaving Go upstairs and prepare for tonight's meeting.
Tonight Rick arranged for Hugo to meet M-Nate Shyamalan and Kathleen Kennedy.
This meeting can be said to have experienced some twists and turns. At the beginning, it was arranged to meet Robert Iger, but Robert took the initiative to ask to arrange a meeting between Hugo and David Vogel. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Rick guessed that Robert should have realized that Hugo had already seen many of the implications on Oscar night-even if Hugo didn't see it that night, DreamWorks and Endeavor Elite Agency's The managers were not ignorant, so Robert chose to take the initiative to push out the hidden Bowei Film Company.
But Robert's strategy has not gone a little bit wrong. They want to use the "psychic sixth sense" to seek benefits, but they also have their own wishful thinking for Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company and DreamWorks. As a result, Frank Marshall and Katherine Kennedy, driven by David Geffen, took the initiative to find David Vogel and asked them to be in charge of this meeting so that they could realize this cooperation. It was also Catherine's request to meet in Malibu instead.
It can be said that the interests of the two production companies, Disney and DreamWorks, are intertwined behind the project of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality"-of course, the premise is that Hugo is willing to take over the script. If Hugo rejects the project, even a promising script for "The Sixth Sense" wouldn't be worth the effort Robert Iger and David Vogel put into it—because it's a horror movie, and It is absolutely impossible for the investment budget to exceed 60 million.
Therefore, Hugo's opinion has become the core of this exchange of interests.
After cleaning up the shower and leaving the room, Hugo saw at a glance that the guest room diagonally opposite the master bedroom had been replaced with brand new black and white sheets, and the bookshelves and desks were also full of things. It could be seen that Leon Nado is really moving! Rather than planning to come and stay temporarily.
Walking to the door of the bedroom, "Is there a party arranged tonight?" Hugo raised his voice and asked.
Leonardo was flipping through the script in his hand, when he heard Hugo's voice, he turned around and raised the script in his hand to Hugo, "This is the script you used to shoot 'Yihai Xiongfeng'?" The script It is full of countless information. "Yihai Xiongfeng" is Hugo's second work after the Golden Raspberry Award. At that time, he was still in the imitation stage of acting, so he has been studying hard. The colorful handwriting on the script can be clearly read See Hugo's effort.
"Isn't this on the third floor?" Hugo asked in surprise, James raised his right hand and laughed in embarrassment, "I borrowed it to see it."
Hugo nodded, "It's okay, just remember to put it back after reading it." After finishing speaking, he looked at the room carefully again, "Okay, you can go to work first, I still have a meeting."
Leonardo realized it at this time, "Remember to come back early after dinner, Charlize and Sandra will come over tonight and have a barbecue party."
Hugo replied "Got it", then went downstairs, greeted Zamora and Joseph, and left on foot. When they left the door, the paparazzi gathered around again, and the microphones flooded up one after another—the memory fragments from the time they returned home just now flooded up again, and Hugo couldn't help but laugh.
"Hugo, are the rumors about you and Leo true?"
Hearing such an absurd question, Hugo wanted to explain it, but he found that it was not so easy to explain clearly, because the reason why Leonardo wanted to come and live was too complicated. If it is just that Leonardo moved here as a friend, the media will definitely make use of it. For a moment, the words that rushed to his lips didn't know what to say, Hugo just smiled and shook his head, said nothing, squeezed through the paparazzi, and then strode away pace.
The paparazzi were a little hesitant, because Hugo didn't go to the garage to drive, but just walked forward on foot. Could it be that he just went for a jog? But why is Hugo wearing a simple suit and shirt again? It looks like a formal dress, is it to meet friends? Friends in Malibu?
The paparazzi started to feel embarrassed in an instant, as if caught in a predicament of chasing or not chasing, but after hesitating, two paparazzi followed Hugo's footsteps not far or near . Hugo naturally knew the tail behind him, but he didn't care too much. He didn't plan to meet today in secret.
Walking along the wide streets of Malibu for less than ten minutes, you can see the steak restaurant with blue neon lights in the distance. This French restaurant can be regarded as one of the earliest restaurants near Malibu. One, even in the face of the discerning tastes of Malibu's upper class, it has won a lot of praise, and now it has become one of the preferred choices for nearby residents who want to eat out but don't want to drive into the city.
Walking to the door, the waiter smiled and opened the glass door, "Mr. Lancaster, I see you again. Congratulations on your outstanding performance at the Oscars last week." Obviously Hugo is also considered here A regular customer, Hugo handed over a green note as a tip, "Thank you." Then he walked in, "I hope you have a good night."
When the two paparazzi saw the restaurant where Hugo entered, they immediately became excited. Could it be that Hugo appeared here for some important date? The two couldn't help but walked up quickly, but the waiter stopped them and said with a smile, "Sorry, sir, this is a French restaurant, and you need to wear formal clothes to enter."
They couldn't help looking down at their crumpled T-shirts, with depressed expressions on their faces, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn French!"
