Chapter 254: 254

"Hugo..." Joseph seemed to have countless words stuck in his throat, causing his throat to keep itching. Hugo raised his eyes and looked over, as if he was asking "what" with his eyes. Joseph hesitated for a long time. , You hugged the pipa and said with a half-covered face, "Otherwise, you apologize..." But after speaking for a while, he still lacked confidence and swallowed all the words that followed.

Hugo didn't react at first, and wanted to say "who do you want to apologize to?", but seeing the hesitation and hesitation in Joseph's eyes, he thought about it and understood. What Joseph said was an apology to Tracy.

Tracy is behind all of this, so maybe if you apologize to Tracy, maybe things can be resolved. And most importantly, Hugo knew that his entanglement with Tracy was, in the final analysis, a word for "love". Love can make women sink and make women crazy. If Hugo is willing to bow his head, he may be able to save Tetsuya. Lacey. So don't talk about this time, it is estimated that Hugo's acting career will become smoother. This is a social law, there is no right or wrong, but it can make your life easier.

Hugo smiled and shook his head, "Joe, don't bring this up again, it's impossible for me to do this." Joseph looked at the smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth, although it was only a shallow arc, but those eyes Zi Li, however, carried an unquestionable firmness, which made all his excuses and doubts smashed to smithereens.

Hugo went on to say, "Do you remember? I said that some things can be done, some things can't be done, and some things I don't want to do. Tracy's things are what I don't want to do," and remembering himself The entanglement with Tracy, sighed, and then went on to say, "I would rather rely on my own strength to open my future, rather than ask for the favor of the powerful."

Joseph knew that this sentence was said by the writer Victor Hugo, and this was the second time he heard Hugo mention it.

Joseph explained in a murmur, "I didn't say Tracy..." But when Hugo's gentle gaze looked at him, the second half of the sentence disappeared in his throat and became silent.

Hugo stretched a big lazy waist, walked off the bed, and stood by his window. Outside Los Angeles, the sun was shining at this time. The brilliant sunshine broke through the shackles of the dark clouds, and put on the city of angels with gorgeous clothes. , wonderful.

Joseph's eyes followed Hugo's, then he also stood up, walked to the window, and stopped, "What should I do now?" Joseph's calmed down irritability stirred up again, "I've tried my best... ..." This made Joseph a little frustrated. He tried his best, but he couldn't break through the siege. This kind of frustration was really bad.

"Joe, why are you in such a hurry?" Hugo didn't turn his eyes away, he still looked at the unreachable sea horizon outside the window, the blue gleaming in the sunlight, as if a bunch of broken diamonds were gathered together. , which made Hugo's body that had been plagued by illness for a long time stretched out, dispelling the pain and fatigue in his body little by little.

"You should know better than me that no actor can go on film after film, with breaks ranging from weeks to years. There are many reasons for this, one of which is your concern, For example, I said I was angry, and no film company was willing to use it." Hugo's words made Joseph's serious face appear a little panic, but it was immediately dispelled by Hugo's smile, "And only willing to choose the appropriate script is also one of them. One. Because a good work can make an actor, and a bad work can destroy an actor. We both know this very well?"

Hugo's teasing made Joseph show a wry smile.

"Actually, our current situation is just back to the original point, there is nothing to worry about. At least, this time there is no turbulence of the Golden Raspberry Award, but there is a double nomination for the Golden Globe Award, and maybe there is an Oscar nomination." Guo said with a smile, the sullen look between his brows gradually disappeared in the sunlight, and the familiar sunshine reappeared.

Joseph looked at Hugo's bright smile and shook his head awkwardly, which made Hugo stunned. Joseph then said, "There are no Oscar nominations." The 65th Oscar nomination list was officially announced two days ago. All Hugos were defeated, and the leading actor of "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness" and the supporting actor of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" were both dismissed, which also became a hot topic of discussion that day.

Not long ago, Hugo, who was famous for his double nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, was still underweight in the eyes of the Oscar Academy judges, whether it was because the influence of the Golden Raspberry Award on the Academy members still existed, or because of the recent uproar of big names. Negatives, or maybe it's because Hugo's performance really wasn't enough for an Oscar nomination, but that's how it turned out. Hugo failed to receive his first Oscar nomination as an actor.

Hugo just paused, then laughed, "But anyway, my acting talent is recognized, isn't it? Unlike last year, people don't think I have acting skills, and it's too much trouble to prove. ." Hugo also wiped the nonexistent sweat on his forehead, causing Joseph to purse his lips helplessly.

Hugo did not continue to speak, but fell silent. Joseph thought that Hugo still minds the Oscar nomination. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't say "there will always be nominations in the future". , if it is more reliable to say that "there will always be a small golden man in the future", it is just a nomination, and there is really no need to make a fuss.

"Joe, do you know? In fact, I think this big-name statement is reasonable." Hugo's words surprised Joseph, "Why?" , As Hugo's closest partner in work, Joseph knew very well whether Hugo was playing a big name, so he sneered at the statement of the newspapers and magazines, but he did not expect that Hugo would actually say such a thing.

Hugo interrupted Joseph's questioning and continued, "I feel like I'm really getting carried away." Hugo recalled the past few months, since the success of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", his The popularity is constantly rising, the smooth sailing of his career and love makes him a little high, and the advantages of transmigrating people can make him invincible. This kind of thinking quietly starts to take root in his thoughts, even if he doesn't realize it or even thinks so. , but his actions showed.

"Hearing the shouts of those fans, I almost thought I was going to become a god; listening to the praise from the media, I also thought I was an absolute genius." Hugo whispered with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. When he saw that Joseph seemed to want to refute himself, Hugo shook his head, "I'm serious, I really once thought that I seemed to be at the top, and everything just needed a wave to come over, I wasted a lot of money. I even took a three-week vacation in Malibu with the easy money, and I don't have any money left in my bank account now, do I?"

Joseph had nothing to say, he just opened his mouth and murmured, "There are more than 600,000."

Hugo was stunned, and then sneered, "I thought it was at least one million." No wonder they say that it is easy to change from luxury to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. He didn't realize that he spent so much money. , But now that he recalls it carefully, he can't remember where he spent his money at all.

Joseph looked up at Hugo, "I still owe you a million."

Hugo smiled, "I remember, maybe this will become a life-saving capital in the future." This relaxed tone made Joseph helpless, "I mean, I didn't spend so freely before, even if I wanted to spend it, Also have a plan.”

Joseph originally wanted to say that what happened to Malibu was all because of Uma, but then he thought that Hugo had just broken up with Uma, so it would be difficult to continue to sprinkle salt on Hugo's wound, so he shut up again.

"Not only that, but I really neglected the original novel of 'Sugar-Coated Trap', not as serious as I used to fight for the script of 'Yihai Xiongfeng'; I didn't work hard enough for the audition of 'Sleepless in Seattle'... not to say The most important thing is my attitude. My attitude has become slack. I thought that I could win everyone's recognition with my excellent performance in two movies, so I relaxed. After going to Malibu for vacation, I didn't have a good attitude. The script came to the door and became impatient. Before the end of 'Yihai Xiongfeng', I was not impatient for more than half a year, but now I am anxious. The main reason is that I have become arrogant. I think there should be a script to take the initiative to come to the door. "

Hugo said in a bit of confusion, and it sounded rough without a formula, but Hugo knew what he was talking about. Before that, he had never noticed the impetuousness in his heart, because everything was so natural. The support of the fans is so, the favor of the film company is so, and quietly, he has started to enjoy those flashy compliments, and thus lost himself.

"This... this is self-confidence!" Joseph was stunned by Hugo's words. He didn't realize that Hugo had thought so much during this time.

"Confidence and arrogance are actually only separated by a thin line." Hugo chuckled lightly, "Joe, don't you notice my change, and your own change?" Hugo actually brought the words to Joseph again. On the body, this made him immediately stunned. "After I talked with Ernst last time, I understood that the accusations of the media should be treated rationally, but I ignored it. In fact, their praises should also be treated with gorgeous rhetoric. Maybe, I am not so Great; maybe, I'm not a genius; maybe, I need to work harder; maybe, I'm still far from real success..."

Having said this, Hugo paused for a moment and smiled, "And, I'm pretty sure I'm not God." Lost in the flowers and applause, Hugo once really thought of himself as God in his heart, And now, waking up from the dream, sanity has returned. "So, maybe this incident is a good wake-up call, at least it can let me see the location clearly, don't be too lofty, or start with yourself down-to-earth, this is the most important."

In the entertainment industry, Hugo is just a rookie. He has too much to learn, but maintaining a correct attitude and not losing himself is a must-have attitude. Fortunately, this incident happened before Hugo really became arrogant, really started to play big names, really started to be defiant, and really thought he was God, and everything was too late.

"We're already standing here, how can the situation get worse? How about it, are you interested in trying again with me?"

Joseph raised his head and saw the brilliant smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, even the sunlight outside the window was eclipsed.
