Chapter 556: 556
Hugo stretched into the bathroom to solve the physiological needs of the bladder in the morning, yawning and thinking about the band rehearsal last night.
Although the news from the outside world has been flying all over the sky recently, and Glory to Death has been directly pushed to the forefront, but the band itself rarely lost itself, but calmed down and excluded all the influencing factors, and stayed in the warehouse behind the Al Bar Rehearsal.
As the days of the Junjie Music Festival tour are approaching, the pressure on the band is also increasing. Even if the sales of "almost famous" continue to create good results, the band members' nervousness cannot be relieved. Junjie Music Festival However, on occasions where many outstanding rock bands gather, all the audiences are loyal rock mad fans, so this performance is extremely important for the band.
From another point of view, the huge pressure of the Junjie Music Festival has also invisibly diverted the attention of the band members. The rapidly soaring popularity often makes the newcomer band lost in the hot spotlight and enthusiastic pursuit, but now the band has not Time is excited by popularity, and because of the breakthrough style of "Almost Famous", the band must focus more on the performance of Junjie Music Festival and show their true strength.
Suddenly, the bathroom door was opened directly, and then there was an exclamation of "ah", and then the door was quickly closed directly. Hugo was startled by the sound, and subconsciously turned his body in the opposite direction of the door. Turning around, when I turned back, I only had time to see how the door was closed, but there was no need to guess, there was no one else except Charlize.
"Hugo! You should lock the door!" Charlize's depressed voice seemed to have lingering fears.
Hugo was even more depressed, "Hey, Charlize! You should knock on the door!"
Charlize stood at the door knowing that he was right, but he was not convinced, and could only mumble, "I didn't see anything anyway." Hugo's cheeks couldn't help but get hot, and Charlize seemed to be trying to pass the time. This embarrassing feeling, bluffing and shouting, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!"
"Hold it up!" Hugo's simple words made Charlize instantly suffocated, with a depressed look on his face, while Hugo smiled triumphantly.
In the past, when Charlize used the bathroom, she always spent a long time in it. When Hugo was in a hurry, she would calmly say "hold up", which made Hugo almost hurt internally. However, boys have always used the bathroom quickly, so Hugo never found a chance to take revenge, and today he finally got what he wanted.
Charlize seemed to sense Hugo's smug expression inside, and gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Come on! Otherwise I'll just break in." Anyway, the bathroom door was not closed, and now the initiative is in her hands of.
"How dare you!" Hugo immediately rolled his eyes and shouted.
"It's not like I haven't seen it!" Charlize said that Hugo almost choked to death on his own saliva, but before Hugo could speak, Charlize said, "I'm going to open the door!"
"Hey! Hey!" Hugo tried his best to stop him, but he couldn't stop Charlize at all, and the bathroom door was opened again. Hugo could only turn his back in embarrassment and pack himself up. After he turned around, he realized that Charlize had just barged in with his eyes closed, and that he had been molested by Charlize again. This really made Hugo Can't laugh or cry.
Charlize seemed to wait for a while, thinking that Hugo should be sorted, then opened his eyes and looked at the suffocated Hugo, a smug smile on his face immediately raised, "Hey, I told you is you."
Hugo originally planned to go out, but seeing Charlize's proud expression, he couldn't help but feel depressed, "I won't go out, let's see what you do!"
"Hugo Lancaster!" Now it was Charlize's turn to be depressed, "You dare!"
"Why not? It's not like I haven't seen it anyway." Hugo muttered, and Charlize's cheeks immediately became hot and hot.
Seeing Charlize's embarrassed appearance, Hugo burst into laughter and left the bathroom triumphantly. Charlize slammed the bathroom door shut and slammed into the door frame behind Hugo, making a buzzing noise. ring. Hugo looked at the bathroom door, which seemed to be broken at any time, with lingering fear, and said, "Tarzan."
In the end, Charlize heard it inside, and directly replied, "Then you are Jane?" This dialogue refers to Tarzan, the ape, and Jane, the girl who fell in love with Tarzan.
Charlize's counterattack suddenly made Hugo touch his nose depressedly, and Charlize, who had pulled back a city, smiled.
Hugo went to the kitchen to make coffee and toast, but Charlize still didn't come out of the bathroom, but Hugo was used to it. He returned to the hall with coffee and toast, sat down on the sofa, and casually Picking up a newspaper and flipping through it, it turned out to be the "Los Angeles Times".
Recently, because the news in the newspaper is all about himself, and the repeated remarks are repeated over and over, Hugo has not read the newspaper for a long time, and it has been a long time since he read the newspaper with his coffee in the morning. Today's "Los Angeles Times" front page is still Michael Jackson's "witch trials" discussion, but the entertainment page is the news that the popularity of the "Almost Famous" album continues to explode.
The entertainment section just flipped through at random, and then Hugo flipped to the other sections to check out the latest news.
When Charlize came out, he saw Hugo lying lazily on the sofa reading the newspaper, went straight to the side and sat down, picked up the coffee pot and poured himself a cup, "Why do you remember reading the newspaper, aren't you? Saying that the recent news is too boring."
"There's really nothing to see in the entertainment page." Hugo said casually, but his eyes stayed on the newspaper and read it carefully.
"Haven't you thought about moving?" Charlize said casually, leaning on the sofa.
Hugo chuckled lightly, "Why, do you want me to move?"
"Of course." Charlize rolled his eyes and said without hesitation, "I have been sneaking out recently, like a thief." In order to prevent reporters from guessing that Charlize lives on the third floor, Charlize I've been tense to a whole new level recently. Now the reporters think that Charlize lives on the fourth or fifth floor. If they know that Charlize is Hugo's roommate, they'll probably mess up something. What a hassle.
"This is the price of fame." Hugo flipped through a newspaper and said smugly, but there was sarcasm hidden in his words. Recently, the reporter's coverage has been beyond imagination. It's almost all-pervasive, turning Hugo's life upside down, and Charlize, Alex and others have also been implicated.
Only then did Hugo know what "life under the spotlight" is. It's like a 24-hour reality show. Except for the bathroom, which can give you a little dignity, the media's footage is almost useless at other times. everywhere. This feeling is really terrifying. It's not just the feeling of Guo Ben, it's more like living under surveillance. Freedom is already a luxury. Hugo can still find a little privacy at home now, but who knows how long this little privacy can last.
This situation obviously far exceeded Hugo's expectations, and he realized how hard the life of public figures is. Fortunately, Hugo has experienced the ups and downs of the Golden Globes incident and the road tour, so he can adjust his mentality. If he experienced such a situation at the end of last year, I am afraid that Hugo will be lost directly.
Now Hugo can still occasionally laugh at himself, so as not to be overwhelmed by negativity or the spotlight, "Like Michael Jackson, my situation is not worth mentioning at all. You know, this is the Negative effects of work, so what I'm going through at the moment is way beyond what I can imagine, but...
Hugo's words silenced Charlize. Indeed, not to mention reaching the heights of Michael Jackson and the Beatles, as long as there is a certain degree of popularity, the media will be like a leech, sticking to the artist's skin all the time. Ready to absorb blood. As long as you are in the entertainment industry, this is a lesson you must experience.
"I'm helping you and Alex get used to it in advance, shouldn't you thank me?" Hugo's teasing made Charlize laugh and cry, and he gave Hugo a kick, causing Hugo to grin exaggeratedly. Then he rubbed his calf forcefully, as if Charlize kicked his calf off, which made Charlize roll his eyes helplessly and choose to ignore it.
"I'm serious, haven't you thought about moving?" Charlize said seriously regardless of Hugo's exaggerated performance.
Hugo pursed his lips and hugged his calf, with an expression of "I'm very hurt", which made Charlize almost grit his teeth. Only then did Hugo succeed in laughing. He thought about it seriously, "No." He replied firmly, "Maybe there will be plans for this in the future, but I have no idea recently. You know, the band is touring next, and the end of the year is so busy. Actually, in my opinion, where to live is not the point at all, is it because Now that I have attention, should I live in Beverly Hills? It’s good to live here, I have friends here, and I’m familiar with the environment here, why move?”
Charlize listened to Hugo's answer and nodded slightly thoughtfully. Hugo glanced at Charlize and smiled, "How did you plan to go out today?"
"I originally called Stewart to pick me up, but now the reporter has left, I don't know, maybe I can give him a good rest." Charlize said lazily and casually.
Stuart is the person Charlize is currently dating. Hugo doesn't know his full name, and he didn't ask for it. He only knows that he is an actor who is looking for opportunities, and he doesn't seem to be American. The development between Stewart and Charlize seems to be going well. Although they are still dating, it is clear that Charlize does not reject continuing to date to see if there is any possibility of further development.
"Poor Stu, he's been a good shield lately." Hugo's sympathetic expression made Charlize speechless.
