Chapter 921 921 One Moment
"Hey, everyone is here!" Carl opened the door, saw the people in the room, and greeted them warmly. Alex and Charlize were behind them and dragged their suitcases in.
Hugo also raised his hand and waved it vigorously, saying hello to his long-lost friends. In the past two or three months, Hugo has hardly been at home. Later, Charlize and Alex also received new jobs and left. home, so the house was idle for a long time.
The hall was very lively for a while, and after hearing the noise on the third floor, Fu Jin also went downstairs. It was just a bit of an accident. Ernst on the second floor did not get angry today. The cream-yellow light swayed quietly in the night, making people wonder if Ernst was not used to the past two months. quiet. Rick put his work aside for the time being, and let the group of friends live together.
The dinner prepared by Samora was soon over, and a group of people sat around the giant dining table and chatted. When we moved here, everyone disliked that the dining table was too big, occupying almost half of the entire restaurant, but now it seems that the existence of this giant dining table is necessary.
"So, how was this shoot?" Hugo asked, handing the salad bowl to Charlize, who was sitting on his right.
Charlize took the pot, put some salad on the plate, and pouted, "It's just a little character without a line, I just got there and screamed a few times in horror, and the shoot was over. I'm over. After filming, I went to Chicago to visit the class, and only came back together after Alex was finished."
Charlize's reluctance to play the role of the vase has made her development in Hollywood difficult, almost a struggle. Otherwise, after the premiere of "Schindler's List", Charlize received a lot of performance opportunities, she could get out of the current situation, but she made her own choice.
"If you don't mind, I think maybe Rick can introduce some work to you." Hugo's eyes widened, his expression exaggerated.
Carl, who was sitting opposite, coughed twice immediately, "Hey, I'm here."
Hugo just ignored Carl, Charlize saw Carl's depressed expression, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, and said with a chuckle, "Maybe you can invite me to star in your next work, just like you invited me to appear. Leo."
"Hey, I'm here!" This time it was Alex's turn to speak, and his savage expression pleased everyone and made everyone around the table burst into laughter.
"You can start praying, maybe my next work will appear tomorrow." Hugo said with a smug smile on purpose.
Charlize did not cooperate with Hugo, but gave Hugo a disdainful look, "Are you serious? Are you showing off now? Of course you don't lack scripts, and the whole Hollywood knows it."
Facing the irony of Charlize's words, Hugo grinned, "Yes, I'm showing off, isn't my expression obvious enough?" This sentence immediately made Charlize roll his eyes, full of His face was weak, and as a result, Hugo became happy.
After laughing, Hugo sorted out his expression and stopped joking, "Compared to you, my actor work seems to be smoother, so I don't know the torment of waiting, but I believe that our perseverance does not matter. It's not meaningless."
Charlize looked at Hugo's deep eyes, the light yellow halo of the kitchen cast a warm luster on those amber eyes, the gentleness hidden behind the luster was unparalleled strength and stubbornness. , Charlize's smile couldn't help but stop for a moment. Hugo's eyes always have such magic power, and at a certain inadvertent moment, the heart beats out of rhythm.
But soon, Charlize came back to his senses, the smile on the corner of his mouth continued to bloom, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked at Hugo again, he had returned to normal, "Your comfort is not practical at all, The twists and turns before and after you won the Golden Raspberry Award were much worse than my current state, but you still persevered, so, I know it is not easy to persevere, but I will not give up."
Hugo looked at Charlize's cheeks with a bright smile like a blooming spring flower, his eyes darkened slightly, he noticed the slight change in Charlize's expression, so he quickly retracted his eyes and spit out. He said with a smile, "Then why do you look so... depressed?"
Charlize's shoulders drooped slightly and glanced at Hugo, "I just heard that it seems that the director of the shot I shot is not very satisfied, and it is likely to be edited out."
Hugo didn't say much, but just gave Charlize a sympathetic look. The sympathy of Chi Guoguo made Charlize directly give Hugo an elbow, and Hugo grinned in pain.
In the past, Hugo had gone through too much of this kind of thing. It took a lot of time to complete the shooting. As a result, the director cut out all the scenes with a scissor hand. All the previous efforts were instantly mirrored, the kind of loss and disappointment. , or even anger, it's hard to describe in words, but it's just stuffy in the chest and can't vent out.
Therefore, Hugo did not comfort Charlize because he knew that any words were useless. Instead, he used a deliberately obvious look of sympathy to let Charlize vent his anger.
Sure enough, Charlize couldn't help but rejoice when she saw Hugo's painful expression. Hugo rubbed his waist. Just now, Charlize was really hitting hard, but he was asking, "So, what are your plans for tomorrow, a good night's sleep at home?"
Charlize shrugged, "Mr. Perfect asked me to go out for coffee tomorrow, but I don't really want to run around, I just want to sit on the sofa and watch TV." Now Charlize is also infected by Hugo, and the two of them chat with each other. Calling Stuart Townsend "Mr. Perfect" is somewhat eerie irony.
Hugo bit his lower lip lightly, then said with a chuckle, "You mean, press the TV station from the beginning to the end, and then see the beginning from the end?" Charlize actually doesn't like watching TV, sports, soap operas I don't like variety shows very much. Usually when he and Alex are watching TV, Charlize thinks they are boring.
Being teased by Hugo like this, Charlize showed his white teeth viciously, gnashing his teeth, making Hugo want to laugh but not dare to laugh, just at this moment the phone rang in the hall, Hugo immediately stood up, " Phone, phone, I'll answer the phone." Then he trotted away, and when he looked back, he could see Charlize's fierce face, and Hugo couldn't help laughing at this moment.
While laughing, Hugo answered the phone, "Good evening!" The smile in the words leaked out directly, looking extremely cheerful.
"Hey! Hugo? You sound like you're in a good mood, so I'm relieved. I'm also worried that you might be too tired after a long trip, so I haven't called you." Sunshine's cheerful voice was Cameron Diaz. She seemed to be a little too cheerful, and her whole mood was very excited, a bit like the excitement caused by being too nervous.
Hugo chuckled lightly, "I slept for a while after I came back. It's much better now, how about you? It's not the movie promotion that I started recently, so I'm probably tired too?" The third round of promotion is now underway.
"Fortunately, you know, I'm just a newcomer, and all interviews are similar." Cameron pouted and said, "So, I mean, our movie is about to premiere, and I will be the first. The first time I've appeared on the red carpet..." Cameron paused for a while, but she still took a deep breath to adjust her heartbeat, and secretly told herself that since the phone has been connected, naturally there is no need to be shy, "I think I know, I wonder if you'd like to go to the premiere with me?"
Hearing this sentence, Hugo couldn't help being stunned. Before he noticed it, his eyes drifted towards the restaurant. He saw Charlize who was eating salad. At this time, Charlize's brows had relaxed, relaxed. A lot, but you can still see some tiredness in the eyebrows.
Charlize noticed Hugo's sight, raised his head, frowned slightly, and seemed to ask, "My phone?"
Hugo's right hand holding the receiver tightened slightly, and he suddenly realized that life is made up of countless "moments", and he may fall in love with a person because of a certain moment, so it may also be because he missed a moment of rejection. You have to love that person.
Hugo lowered his eyes slightly, hiding all his emotions in the depths of his eyes, then raised his eyes again, looked at Charlize, smiled and shook his head, and said into the receiver again, "Premier? I've forgotten about it because of the tour."
Cameron on the other end of the phone was so nervous at this time, she just felt like her heart was about to jump out, she was always worried, what should she do if Hugo refused? But when she recalled the bits and pieces of her relationship with Hugo in the past three months, especially after the Houston incident, she would rekindle her confidence. This mixed mood made her palms sweaty, and the receiver became slippery in her hands. She had to grab the receiver with both hands, so as not to drop the receiver.
"Of course, there's no problem." Hugo completely retracted his gaze and lowered his head slightly, but he didn't know where he was looking. There seemed to be no clear focus, and a faint smile formed on the corner of his mouth, "I can talk to you. It's an honor to be at the premiere together, isn't it?"
"Really? Really?" Cameron heard Hugo's affirmative answer, and suddenly the whole person jumped up, as if jumping above the clouds, she shouted excitedly, "Then...then... "She clearly wanted to say something, but her brain was a mess, she couldn't say anything, she could only keep repeating a meaningless word.
"I'll pick you up at six o'clock in the afternoon on the day of the premiere." Hugo said with a small smile, helping Cameron.
Cameron's whole person became cheerful, "Okay, okay! I mean, okay!" After she finished speaking, she realized that she was an idiot, but she didn't mind, hehe laughed, and said , "I mean, goodbye." Then, Cameron hung up the phone, looking at her trembling hands, she jumped straight up, and the whole person seemed to spread her wings and fly.
