Chapter 449 449 First Impression

"You said just now that you are an actor? Is it a newcomer like Sally who has just entered the circle, or an actor who already has a stable job?" After Jerda smiled, she restrained her smile again and asked earnestly.

This seems to be a topic that every friend's parents like to know about, to learn about the friend's work, family, and see if this friend is dangerous or promising, and whether it is suitable to be friends with their children. However, I don't know if this is because parents care about their children, or because the topic of the generation gap is the only point of communication, maybe both.

"Mom!" Charlize finally couldn't take it any longer, and said anxiously, "Hugo and I are just ordinary friends, you ask what those details do. Besides, there is no stability in the job of an actor!"

"I care about your friend's work, not yours." Gerda glanced at her daughter complainingly, thinking that Charlize was making a fuss. Then she turned her head and looked at Hugo kindly, "If there's something rude, then I'm really sorry." Jerda also thought about it, in case the young man facing the face of the young man has suffered a setback in his career recently, she will keep it straight like this It is indeed a bit rude to inquire, as if exposing the other's scars.

Hugo hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay. I've been an actor since I was fifteen years old. It's been a while now, and I've only started a little career recently."

"Fifteen years old...Aren't your parents worried?" Jerda's focus is always the parents' point of view. This kind of care from the elders is really long gone for Hugo. He has not felt it for nearly ten years. This "irritating" nagging is over.

Hugo smiled and nodded, "Worrying is naturally worrying, but this is my dream, young people always want to break in. Maybe, after I fell to the ground, I would know what my parents said. It makes sense." Hugo's words made Jerda nodded again and again, "but luckily, I've made a little progress now, so I think they don't have to worry about it for the time being."

Hugo didn't want to say much about the situation of his parents. After all, it was a family matter, and he and Jerda had only met for the first time, so there was no need to talk so deeply.

Jerda didn't plan to explore Hugo's privacy either. It was enough to have a little understanding, but her eyes lit up and she looked at her daughter, "Is he a famous actor?" Jerda was worried about herself I made an oolong, so I lowered my voice to confirm with my daughter.

Charlize raised his eyes and glanced at Hugo, and immediately saw the sly smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth, and immediately gritted his teeth, but facing her mother's question, she answered honestly, "Recently he has a movie It's being shown, if you're curious, you can go and watch it."

Jerda suddenly looked at Hugo and nodded slightly, "So, you are here in New York for publicity?"

"No, I still have some other work here and I need to stay for a while." Only then did Hugo realize that he seemed to have delayed some time, but the elders were in front of him, and it was not easy to turn around and leave, so he looked towards Charlize, "You came to New York this time to...?"

The voice in the second half of the sentence rose slightly, and Charlize took over the conversation and said directly, "Halloween. I will have a few auditions in the next period, and I may not be able to come back on Thanksgiving, so I will come to accompany my mother first." Charlize is currently in the early stages of her career struggle, but she has never forgotten to accompany her mother. Even at home, she spends a lot of time talking on the phone with her mother. "What about you? Are you still recording recently?" Charlize naturally knew something about Hugo's band progress through Carl.

"Yes, I will go on tour again, all the way to Los Angeles." Hugo said the next music plan, the expression on his face suddenly brightened, imagine the pleasure of standing on the stage, always It makes blood boil.

Charlize and Jerda in front of them also felt the positive enthusiasm of Hugo, and this kind of sunny temperament always left a deep impression on people.

Now that he talked about music, Hugo also followed the trend and said, "Actually, I'm rushing to the recording studio right now, and I still have work in the afternoon, so I may have to leave first." But Hugo was only halfway through, his eyes He dropped the scattered items on the ground, "Do you need help? I think I can help you take it home."

"Oh, no, no need." Charlize refused anxiously. The slightly disordered rhythm of her heart made her realize her rapid breathing only after she said this. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and avoided Hugo again. That bright smile.

Fortunately, this time Jerda's attention was also on Hugo, and she didn't notice the abnormality of her daughter. She also smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, work is more important, and the two of us can solve it."

Hugo cast an inquiring glance at Charlize, but Charlize was busy avoiding Hugo's smile and didn't notice it. In desperation, Hugo could only cough lightly, and then Charlize raised his head and looked at it. Hugo took a look, and then received Hugo's inquiring look. The tacit understanding that was usually under one roof immediately returned to the two of them. Charlize nodded slightly and gave Hugo a slightly anxious look.

Hugo immediately understood. In fact, Charlize was still worried that Hugo would stay here for too long, and the two of them would easily get caught, so Charlize still hoped that Hugo would go first. So Hugo said to Jerda, "Then I'll leave first. I'm really sorry for not being able to help."

Jerda gave Hugo a smile and watched Hugo walk to the entrance of the subway station. I saw Hugo hesitated for a while, instead of walking into the subway station, he turned around and called for a taxi, and then got in the car and walked away. It seems that Hugo had planned to take the subway, but now he was pressed for time and had to choose a taxi.

After waiting for the taxi to disappear around the corner, Jerda turned to look at Charlize, "Tell me, what is your relationship?"

When Charlize heard this sentence, he suddenly became cold: Was it discovered by his mother? But Charlize still forced himself to calm down and said stubbornly, "Didn't you just say that? He lives upstairs from me, we are friends, and occasionally order takeout together, you know, many takeaways have to be ordered more than one order. I am willing to send it. Besides, my agent lives with him, and he usually chats more or less. "

Charlize weaved a set of statements half-truth, and after speaking, she looked straight at her mother. After about two seconds, Jerda relaxed. Charlize knew that she had made the right bet. , the mother believed her own words.

"This guy is not bad, very polite, and has a good sense of humor, and he is not as glib as those senior actors." Jerda's first impression of Hugo is still good, after thinking about it, "He said he was an actor how many years?"

"It's been more than ten years..." Charlize said uncertainly, she just vaguely remembered that Hugo had been an actor for ten years.

Jerda nodded, "That's really good." After ten years of rolling in the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, it is really rare to still have such a bright smile. Although it is said that he knows the person and the face but not the heart, but just now when the two sides did not know each other, Hugo was also willing to lend a helping hand, including the brief conversation just now, many details can be felt.

Jerda squatted down, thinking about how to put everything in order and take it home, but when she thought about it, she suddenly said, "You said just now that he has a movie in theaters, what's the name?"

"'Sleepless in Seattle', what, do you want to see it?" Charlize also squatted down, finally completely relaxed at this time. If her mother knew that she was sharing a lease with a man—and it was still two, she would not want to live a quiet life in the next few months. Fortunately, Hugo cooperated very well just now and passed this level smoothly.

"If you have time," Gerda muttered in a low voice, but her attention quickly turned to the groceries on the ground, "Go to the supermarket and ask for another paper bag, I'll wait for you here."

Jerda and Charlize were there discussing what to do, but Hugo, who got in the taxi, was relieved. He couldn't remember the last time he visited his friend's parents, although he and Charlize had nothing to do thing, but still a little guilty. Especially when I recalled the moment I saw Charlize, my heartbeat suddenly lost its rhythm. Hugo felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. Hugo had to keep telling himself: we are just friends, and then forced himself to focus on Jer again. On Da, I just hope that his performance just now can convince Jerda that he has done his best. If Jerda still doesn't believe it, then he can't help.

After returning to the studio again, Hugo temporarily put Charlize, Gerda, and Quentin aside, readjusted his state, concentrated, and devoted himself to the production of the album.

The golden autumn of October came to an end in the busy work of the studio. Before October was about to be completed, Glory to Death finally successfully ended the recording of the entire album, and the rest of the work will be handed over to EMI Records.

In order to meet the trend of the times, EMI decided to burn the album of Glory to Death into a compact disc (CD). Throughout the 1980s, along with the Sony Walkman series, tapes became popular all over the world, but after entering the early 1990s , in Europe and the United States, the sales of CDs have quickly surpassed that of tapes. Although vinyl records, tapes and CDs all exist in the market, CDs are currently eating the music market occupied by tapes in an alarming manner. Vinyl records have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history. Therefore, the choice of CD is also closely related to EMI's positioning of glory to death: to break the shackles of the times!

However, there is one very important piece of work that must be done before Death of Glory begins its trans-American tour again: filming the inside pages of the album.
