Chapter 661 661 Learn to Grow Up

It's been a long time since I watched my happy friends get together, probably the first time in seven months since I set off on a cross-American road trip to the death of Independence Day last year.

In the past seven months, many things happened in Hugo's life. To be more precise, in the two years after Hugo's journey, things were constantly developing and changing, and Hugo himself also In the process of constant change and continuous growth, the friends and enemies around you are not what they were at first, which is why it is said that "the river that I passed through today is no longer yesterday's". Everything is constantly changing. In the middle, although the surface looks exactly the same, no matter whether it is people or things, it has changed silently.

Joseph has experienced the entanglement and struggle of interests, and after experiencing the baptism of interests that all people in society must face, he has gradually grown into a qualified agent. He and Hugo have also resolved their misunderstandings and restored their friendship. They all know that things are still different after all, people are like this, friendship is like this, it is impossible for everything to remain the same, and no one can predict the future development. The only good thing is that Joseph is still trustworthy, at least he never betrayed Hugo.

Hugo has experienced the ups and downs of the Golden Globes events, the betrayal of Uma Thurman, the tit-for-tat of Tracy Jacobs, and the "Sleepless in Seattle", "Schindler" "The List" struggled too deeply into the play; Hugo experienced the hardships and bitterness of the Glory to Death road tour, the controversy after the release of "Almost Famous", and the excitement and enjoyment of the cheers at the Junjie Music Festival , and experienced countless bloody elements of the Michael Jackson incident.

Now Hugo is no longer the person he was seven months ago. After all these experiences, his family, friendship, and love have all been tested and tempered, and he has gradually grown up, so he can face reporters. He looks calm and takes the initiative, so he can face conspiracies and provocations calmly and calmly, and remains unchanged in the face of danger. These changes are the accumulated experience and lessons accumulated after the actual experience of the incidents.

Not only Joseph and Hugo, but everyone else. Alex, who has experienced the "Happy Family" exercise, is ushering in a period of rising career, and the troubles under the spotlight have begun to torment Alex; Charlize, who has always been honing his acting skills, is no longer the same as last year. She was calm, and her mentality was inevitably a little more impatient. Especially after the premiere of "Schindler's List", the impression of the vase troubled her, which also allowed Charlize to really taste the hardships and complexities of the Hollywood circle.

There are also members who died of glory. They have also experienced the initial baptism of Vanity Fair. The Grammy incident is the first test for the band. It is not easy for them to maintain a normal state of mind now.

This is life. The advancement of time and the experience of things will inevitably change a person gradually. Personality, mentality, emotions, outlook on life, values, world outlook... everything will gradually change. It does not mean that change is not good, nor does it mean that growing up is not good. People always have to learn to grow up, and people always have to learn to improve, otherwise they will only be eliminated. Hugo is just a little emotional, which is why people always miss the innocent days of their childhood, those carefree years are always nostalgic.

Everyone is changing (Everybody's. Changing).

"You say you want a piece of your own world, but I can't think of how you're going to make it happen, you're in pain, you're heartbroken, I can see the pain in your eyes, and you're talking about everyone changing (Everybody's. Changing) and I don't understand why."

Hugo knew very well that growth has a price, and the most expensive price is "innocent self".

Especially in the vanity fair of Hollywood, after getting lost in the spotlight, the original self is lost bit by bit. This process is very painful, but more often people don't notice it at all, and only when they react. It was found that the original self had been forgotten on the way forward, split into countless pieces, and could never be found again. It was not until this moment that the heart-piercing pain invaded, even if it was tears, even if it was crying, even if it was remorse, it was of no use.

"In that short period of time, trying to understand myself, trying to do something, just to stay in this game, I try to stay awake and remember my name, and then everyone is changing, and I feel it difference.”

Hugo knew that as long as he stayed in the Hollywood Vanity Fair, or more strictly speaking, as long as he stayed in this cruel society, change was unavoidable. Now it is Joseph and Carl who are changing, and now it is Glory to Death, Asia. Lex and Charlize are changing, but at the same time, Hugo is also changing. He is no longer the stunned young man who was confused at the Golden Raspberry Awards two years ago. All Hugo can do now is to remember his original intention and not lose himself on the way forward.

"That's where you came from, and soon you'll be gone too, faded away in a good light, because everyone's changing, and I don't think that's right. Trying to understand myself in such a short time, Trying to do something, just to stay in the game, I try to stay sane and remember my name, and then everyone changes and I feel the difference."

Change is always unavoidable and necessary, but don't forget "you" and keep moving forward with your true colors. Then, this may be the only way out.

"Everyone is changing", this is a fact that makes people a little helpless, a little sad and a little bitter, but this is life, you must learn to find positive meaning in difficult life, and then continue to live strong .

"Hugo? Hugo?" Samora's voice pulled Hugo back from his thoughts, watching Hugo cast a questioning look at him, Samora explained, "What were we discussing just now? , you didn't hear it at all, did you?"

Hugo didn't feel embarrassed either, he chuckled, "I lost my mind."

Hugo's calmness caused everyone to roll their eyes. Charlize, who returned to the hall, asked, "What do you think?"

Hugo turned back following the voice, but his eyes fell on the mobile phone in Charlize's hand. His eyes flickered slightly, and he naturally turned his eyes away from Charlize, and his eyes touched Joseph on the opposite side. Hugo simply shrugged and said the truth, "I was just thinking, now it seems like everyone is changing, and the Hollywood spotlight is constantly changing each of us."

Joseph knew that Hugo made it because he felt it, and he was not ashamed or embarrassed again. At this time, he had been able to face up to his changes and mistakes in the past, so he did not avoid Hugo's sight. On the contrary, he smiled and nodded and said, "We always think that we will not change, but in fact, we are really faced with the omnipresent temptation. When tempted, it is difficult for us to continue to insist on ourselves, and then gradually become those The people we despised, despised, discriminated against, and by the time we found out, we had become objects of disgust among other people."

Joseph is talking about himself, he himself did not expect things to develop to the present point, the self of the past few months, the egoist he hated the most at the time, is gradually turning into Ron Mayer. The appearance is even worse than Lang.

"However, fortunately, some people can understand this, some people will never understand, or, even if they understand, they are reluctant to make changes, because in this world, the space for regret may only be for a moment. Joseph said with a sigh, in fact, he never expected things to get back on track. Now that Hugo can forgive himself and tell everything, Joseph feels very lucky. Beyond that, he couldn't ask for more.

"People always have to learn to grow up. It's just that many times the price is so high that it takes a long time for us to recover." Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile. But I don't know if it's because this topic is too heavy, or because of the style of the song I just created, Hugo's smile is more bitter than warm.

This brief conversation between Hugo and Joseph made the whole room quiet, and everyone fell into silence because of this topic, especially since they are a part of Hollywood, and they themselves are going through the transformation of the spotlight, so there is no People can make exceptions, and they all fall into their own thoughts.

Instead, it was the two people who started the topic. Hugo and Joseph looked at each other with a smile on the corners of their mouths, and the long-lost tacit understanding faintly saw the light again. Maybe Hugo and Joseph can't fully go back to the way they were before, but there's no need for them to go back because now is a fresh start.

Hugo coughed twice, "Hey, why is everyone suddenly quiet, I remember, wasn't Samora talking about me picking up a new script? Well, Alex and Charlize recently received Any new job?"

With Hugo's relaxed and lively words, the atmosphere in the room warmed up a little bit, Carl was the first to respond, "In fact, we were talking about this just now, just so I can listen to your opinions. ..." Like Joseph, Karl is not an agent with outstanding ability and deep qualifications, so they are constantly learning and improving, and only in this way can they become the top agents.

"I think Alex should be very suitable for 'Home Alone' type of movie." Hugo said solemnly, so that Carl and Alex both cast their eyes in confusion, and everyone else watched it. I came over, and then I heard Hugo say seriously, "It's one of the two thieves inside, the tall one, the one with the burned hair is not suitable for you..."

"Hugo Lancaster!" Alex gritted his teeth clearly.
