Chapter 291 291 Double Surprise
Michael is indeed a very cautious person. He is willing to talk to Hugo, but it does not mean that he is willing to have a deep conversation with Hugo. He does not think that he and Hugo are friends, so hearing Hugo is a little heavy and in-depth. When he spoke, Michael's first reaction was rejection. He was not used to such a conversation with a stranger.
But Michael thought about it carefully, but he didn't think Hugo's words were wrong. On the contrary, it was a fact. What made Michael even think about it was that because Michael had always had a special affection for children, in his residence, Neverland, he would spend all the year in his residence. The child left a piece of free space. Every three weeks, children would come to his house to play. Even if he lived there for a period of time, Michael was willing to play with the child. The arrival of the child is naturally accompanied by the parents, and Hugo's remarks about the parents naturally touched Michael.
Despite this, Michael was still reluctant to have this conversation with Hugo. Just talking to Hugo about the media was a breakthrough for Michael, and he has no further plans today. So, Michael paused, then nodded slightly, "Yes, yes, maybe you're right."
Obviously, Michael's words were a little perfunctory, and he seemed unwilling to think deeply. This made Hugo quite anxious. He had said so much just now. If it falls short, then maybe the events of this summer cannot be stopped. Just as Hugo was about to speak, Joseph pulled his sleeve again, and Hugo anxiously noticed Michael's figure retreating quietly. Although it was only a tiny step, it showed that Michael not only It is the psychological distance, but also the physical distance.
At this time, Hugo's anxiety was forced to calm down, and he realized again: he was not the savior, and he had tried his best. If it is more urgent, whether it is counterproductive or ineffective, there will be no more effect. Now, let Michael be a little bit alert, maybe it is the best result Hugo can do. The rest, just Only to see the next development.
After thinking about it, Hugo lowered his eyes slightly to calm down his emotions, then raised his eyes and smiled again to look at Michael, "Of course, this is life, and there are always countless things that we can't expect. Happened, didn't it?"
Michael still did not move his pace, but Hugo in front of him would regain his calm, which made Michael stop and did not continue to step back. Then Michael looked at Hugo with a smile and said, "It's like, I didn't expect to learn so much from watching Catherine's performance, and I didn't expect to meet unexpected surprises." Hugo looked at Michael calmly. , At this point in time, anyone who encounters Michael is lucky, and Hugo has no intention of concealing his true emotions.
Hugo's frankness made Michael smile a little again, but he didn't say much, obviously he still didn't clear his guard, and he didn't intend to continue to have a deep conversation with Hugo.
Hugo could only express helplessness about this, he didn't pause too much, looked at the theater that was almost empty, and then said, "I think it's almost over, so I'll leave first. "The staff will come in to clean up soon, and they can't stay here forever, and there will be performances after that.
After he finished speaking, Hugo looked back at Joseph. Although Joseph was in a dazed state after seeing Michael, he didn't say a word, but Hugo's shocking action of pulling the banner just now made him come back to his senses, so Receiving Hugo's eyes, Joseph nodded, followed Hugo's footsteps, and was about to leave.
Michael didn't expect Hugo to leave so succinctly. In fact, the reason why he warned just now was just a subconscious rejection of strangers. Strictly speaking, Hugo did nothing wrong. Although the topic was a little jerky, he did not cross the line. , and Hugo's attitude has always been polite and decent, the smile is not only hanging on the corner of his mouth, but also clearly seen in the bottom of his eyes. Overall, Michael's impression of Hugo is still good.
"Goodbye." Hugo smiled and nodded to Michael to say goodbye. He didn't try to shake hands or anything, because he knew that Michael should be very repulsive, although he really wanted to move his guitar out of the hotel. , and have Michael sign it. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Jackson, it's my pleasure."
Joseph followed behind Hugo and said the first sentence with an excited smile, "Mr. Jackson, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I wish you a good day."
Michael just nodded subconsciously and said "goodbye", and then watched Hugo and Joseph walk towards the stairs.
Standing in place, Michael thought for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he took a step outside, but the bodyguard stopped him and whispered, "Mr. Jackson, there are still people below." Michael shook his head. , then walked to the aisle and shouted to Hugo, who had already started going down the stairs, "Hugo!"
Michael's voice was not very loud. I don't know if it was because he was worried about disturbing others, or he was protecting his voice off the stage. His first call didn't stop Hugo, so he had to call a second time, "Hugo."
This time, both Hugo and Joseph stopped, and the two looked at each other. Hugo thought he was hallucinating, but then he saw Michael approaching. Hugo stood on the stairs and looked up. Looking at Michael, I only heard Michael asking, "I'm going to visit Catherine in a while to congratulate her on her successful performance. Do you want to go with me?"
Katherine? This naturally refers to Katharine Hepburn. Hugo couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then he reacted. Michael came to watch "Major Issues" today, and the only reason was Catherine; after the performance, Michael stayed to visit Catherine backstage, And the conversation with myself is just incidental.
The friendship between Michael and Katherine is also a good story in the American entertainment industry. The two met on the set of the "Golden Pond" filming, which made the two become friends.
When Catherine's lifelong love, Spencer. Tracy, died, Michael visited Catherine at her East Side apartment in Manhattan and was offered to take care of all of Spencer. Tracy's personal property; in return, a few months Afterwards, Catherine attended Michael's concert for the first time in her life, sitting on the side of the Madison Square Garden stage and watching the Michael brothers perform.
It is worth mentioning that when Michael relied on the album "Thriller" to sweep eight trophies at the twenty-sixth Grammy, when he won the album of the year, he took off the entire record promotion period and never did it. He took off his sunglasses and shouted to the camera, "It's for you, Catherine!" Just because Catherine said to Michael, "Fans look at your eyes, you're lying to them!"
This shows the friendship between Michael and Catherine. Hugo was so excited when he saw Michael up close just now that he forgot about it. Now that I think about it, it all makes sense. No wonder Michael specially rushed Came to cheer on "big issues," and it's no wonder Michael didn't leave before the show was over.
However, Hugo was a little surprised by Michael's invitation. He and Joseph exchanged glances. The ecstasy in Joseph's eyes almost made him lose his calm. Although Hugo was also very happy at this time, he did not lose his mind this time. The main reason was that Michael's vigilance just left a deep impression on Hugo, like a squirrel jumping on the ice, so Michael was willing to send an invitation at this time, which was really unexpected.
"We are all strangers, is it okay to visit Catherine's lounge suddenly?" Hugo tried his best to say in a calm tone, but his words inevitably revealed a little nervousness and excitement.
Michael, who is so sensitive, naturally felt Hugo's politeness, and nodded with a smile, "I don't think she would mind, after all, an audience who really likes her drama is welcome at any time, not to mention an audience member who really likes her drama. A promising newcomer actor." Hugo's ten-year acting career turned into a newcomer in Michael's mouth, maybe Michael didn't even know Hugo had such a long performance history; maybe in Michael's view, standing in front of Catherine The Hugo is the newcomer.
"Of course, this is the best news for us." The joy between Hugo's eyebrows was released, and his heart was quite excited. He saw Catherine's performance, talked with Michael up close, and now wants to Going to visit Katherine? Today's show was really exciting.
Michael smiled and said softly, "But Catherine is a very direct person, maybe she will make some very strict requirements for your performance." In fact, the reason why Michael is willing to invite Hugo is partly because he thinks rain If he has such a professional view of acting, if he can talk to Catherine, it may make Catherine happy. After all, there are not so many people who are willing to communicate with Catherine on such professional issues; on the one hand, it is because he thinks Hugo is enough. Sincerely, it is indeed worth getting to know.
Hugo smiled and shook his head at Michael's concern, "If Catherine is really willing to point out, that would be the best thing. But I think you have overlooked a more important issue, maybe she doesn't care at all. Haven't seen my performance?" Hugo is not unfounded, his current popularity is not top-notch, and the chance that Catherine has seen her work is infinitely close to zero.
Hugo's honesty and straightforwardness made Michael feel the faint warmth, and the smile at the corner of his mouth could not help but enlarge, "Then, let's go." Michael stretched out his right hand, motioning for Hugo and Joseph to go downstairs first.
Today's surprises are really one after another. Thinking that he can visit Catherine together with Michael's company, Hugo feels that the blood will start to speed up again.
