Chapter 58 058 New Roommate

Hugo's move was not difficult. Even if he and Joseph's luggage were added up, they could be moved in one trip. However, since only one mattress belonged to Hugo in the new home, there was no hanger for hanging clothes. So purchasing basic living items is the most troublesome thing.

"I thought you would continue to share the lease with me. Wouldn't it be more convenient to work in this way?" Hugo originally thought that Joseph had found a three-bedroom, two-bedroom apartment and planned to continue sharing the lease. After all, Joseph's current situation is worse than Hugo, It's clear how many Hugos his rake is.

But unexpectedly, Joseph didn't live with Hugo. He rented another house on the fourth floor of Hugo's house, which was also a three-bedroom and two-bedroom house, which seemed a little confusing. "Or, are you planning to move in with your girlfriend?" Hugo suddenly thought of this possibility and couldn't help asking directly.

Joseph was dumbfounded by Hugo's words, "It's not that complicated. Carl's situation is not good, you know, no one in the company is willing to help him, he can't pay next month's rent. I just want to When he moved, he moved with him. When he came here, he could barely pay the rent for the first two months. If it's not enough, I'll pay for it temporarily and let him pay it back to me later."

Because the house here has no furniture, the monthly rent is 1,500 US dollars, and the three people are divided into 500 US dollars. However, on the third floor where Hugo is located, Hugo is currently only the second tenant, so after moving in, he temporarily needs to pay the rent of $750 until the third person moves in; on the other hand, three rooms on the fourth floor where Joseph is located are available. The house is full, which can be regarded as reducing the burden on Carl.

Karl-Earl, Hugo sighed when he remembered how he was sitting in his seat doing nothing when he went to the company last time. It's not that Karl doesn't work hard. On the contrary, he is a very good agent, but he just didn't find the right opportunity for him. If possible, Carl does not want to stay in the company in a daze, he is more willing to go out to seek opportunities.

Hugo suddenly thought of Charlize again. He hadn't called the other party in the past few days. Since he had called the other party at least eight times before and after, he could not contact the other party. Maybe it was because he had no fate, so why continue to insist? After all, this is Hollywood. Although Hugo had a good impression of Charlize, it was only a good impression, not to mention liking, let alone love, because they did not have enough time to communicate and develop.

If Charlize can sign to Karl, maybe a good deal. Hugo thought so purely from the standpoint of a friend.

"Moreover, when this apartment was rented out, it was said that the co-tenant must be an actor, because the person living here is an actor, and the landlord feels that a group of colleagues living here is easier to manage and reduce disputes." Joseph Added that this is not surprising.

The most indispensable thing in Los Angeles is actors, but there are not only actors here, but also people from other industries. Because of the particularity of their occupations, actors have unstable working hours and unstable life patterns. If the same as other industries—— In particular, people who work from 9 to 5 share a lease together, which has an impact on both parties. So if you are an actor together, you can save a lot of trouble. Peaceful coexistence between co-tenants is naturally good news for landlords.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Joseph did not share a lease with Hugo, but lived upstairs. Anyway, the distance was so close, and the work would not be too troublesome.

Hugo looked at the first room on the left, the door of the room was still wide open, but he still didn't see anyone, "It seems that he either has a job or is going for an interview, otherwise he didn't see it twice. Him." Hugo has never seen his future roommate, so he moved in directly. I don't know what kind of person he is, and it's hard to make a judgment just from those gorilla boxer shorts.

"I'll see you anyway..." Hugo hugged his suitcase and walked towards the room on the left, but after only two steps, another dizziness hit his head, and Hugo stood there shaking. After two strokes, the box in his hand smashed down, and Hugo immediately started to retching.

Joseph, who was standing in the back pulling the suitcase, heard the sound of the suitcase falling to the ground. As soon as he turned around, he saw Hugo bending over. He immediately walked up and slowly helped Hugo to the sofa and sat down. , looked at Hugo worriedly.

Joseph knew that it was the withdrawal reaction at work. In fact, before filming "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", Hugo still suffered from withdrawal symptoms four times, but fortunately there were three times when he was in the room at night, and only one was on the set and was forced to interrupt. shoot. Fortunately, withdrawal is accompanied by staying away from drugs. The lengthening of the production time will gradually weaken. When Hugo reacted on the set that time, it was not serious and did not affect the progress of the crew, and the difficulties were quickly overcome.

In fact, the most important reason why Joseph was impressed by Hugo was Hugo's firmness and perseverance in dealing with withdrawal reactions, which shows that Hugo was fighting against drugs. Unshakable determination. Hugo used his persistence to stay away from the poison step by step. The withdrawal reaction has also become weaker and weaker. Now that two months have passed, Hugo has not responded for more than a week before and after, who knows that it will suddenly strike again today.

Thinking about it carefully, Joseph remembered this, even if he was completely away from poison. The withdrawal reaction should last at least three months, and even six months in severe cases. Hugo wants to completely defeat the poison. It is clear that there is still a long way to go.

Hugo overcame the cramps in his stomach and the cold sweat all over his body, and finally recovered gradually. At this time, the withdrawal reaction is not so serious. You only need to sit down and rest for a while to persevere, but you will feel weak afterwards. Hugo leaned on the back of the sofa weakly, exhaling slowly, no matter how hard it was, he would persevere, poison. He is determined not to touch it!

Joseph looked at the crystal sweat on Hugo's forehead, stood up silently, and poured a glass of pure water, but after thinking about it, it seemed that drinking warm water was more appropriate at this time, so he poured the water and rummaged around in the kitchen. When I got up, I finally found a kettle in the closet. I simply cleaned it, filled it with water, and put it on the stove.

"Are you sure you're all right?" Joseph finally couldn't hold back, stood in the kitchen, and asked loudly.

Sitting in the hall, Hugo chuckled lightly, and the corners of his mouth lined up tiredly, and suddenly he heard Joseph's voice still echoing. This feeling was very strange, and this gave him the real feeling of moving to a new house. Now, what else can happen." The first three times were the worst, and after getting through it, everything was not so difficult. Even in the process of filming "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", Hugo always persevered.

Hearing Hugo's weak but sunny voice, Joseph stood in the kitchen watching the flames that kept licking the kettle, and let out a long breath.

"Hey, man, you're here." An unfamiliar voice came from the hall, exhausted but full of energy, a slightly elevated tone with even a hint of excitement, "Oh, God, you're Hugo-Lan Caster! The landlord didn't tell me that it was you who rented the house!"

Joseph came out of the kitchen and saw a young man standing beside the sofa jumping and jumping, while Hugo was still leaning weakly on the sofa, looking at the young man like this, he felt as if Hugo was watching. Circus show. The young man is slender, not six feet tall, but at least five feet ten inches (one meter seven. Eight), with three-dimensional but slightly rounded features, plus that flowing curly hair, although not handsome and handsome , but there are some French chic demeanor.

"My god, my god, my god..." The young man couldn't contain his excitement, and the rapid breathing even made people wonder if he was about to faint in the next moment. This is only when fans see idols. Only then can I get the most reasonable explanation, otherwise it is a rival meeting, "Jesus, my new roommate is Hugo Lancaster, this is really incredible, oh, God!"

"If I guessed correctly, you are Alexander!" Hugo felt that the scene seemed to be out of control, and he could not help frowning and raising the corners of his mouth as he asked loudly. Hugo learned from the landlord that his roommate's name was Alexander Lorraine, a twenty-year-old young man.

"Please call me Alex, please!" Alexander folded his hands, still looking overwhelmed and excited. Hugo seemed to see the crystal tears in his eyes, which made Hugo a little unclear. : Is there something wrong here?

Joseph walked over quickly, "Hello, I'm Joseph, Hugo's agent."

Alex nodded again and again, and the tears in his eyes were really about to fall, "This is really good, very good." He looked at Hugo excitedly with those teary eyes, "Dear Hugo, I really really like you so much, I have seen all the works you starred in, 'Diner', 'Dune', 'Dead Poets Society', 'Hudson Eagle'... I I really like your acting, I think you are an acting genius, you have contributed excellent acting in every movie, believe me, I mean it. Even in 'Hudson's Eagle', You're just as good, and if it weren't for this bad script and bad director, the movie would have been a big sell."

It turns out that Hugo also met his own fans, which was very surprising. First of all, the other party was a boy, secondly, the other party was an actor, and thirdly, the other party was his new roommate. This situation is really intriguing.

"Including 'Quicksilver'?" Joseph also seemed a little disbelieving, but still asked.

"Yes, including 'Silver Quickie'! And 'The. Chocolate. War'." Alex said without any hesitation, which surprised Joseph.

Joseph looked at Hugo, pursed his lips and nodded, as if to say: Yes, he is your true fan.

Hugo also felt it, because even he himself didn't know what work his predecessor had starred in, and Alex could be so familiar, this ability is not easy. In particular, Alex is so convinced of the "Hudson's Eagle" that his admiration can be seen even more.

"Uh, what should I say? If only you were a film critic?" Hugo's slightly upward tone was full of uncertainty, but this slightly mocking tone did make both Joseph and Alex chuckle. laughed.

Alex also seemed to realize his gaffe, and he quickly shook his head, "Oh, Hugo, I like girls, don't worry, it's true."

"Hahahaha..." Hugo was genuinely happy this time.
