The streets are lit up with Christmas lights, but unfortunately, cities without snow are always lacking in a little festive spirit, and the cold winter in Los Angeles makes Christmas look like an island that Santa Claus doesn't visit. Hugo couldn't help but mischievously wonder if Santa Claus would dissolve when he went to the equator to distribute gifts.

Joseph returned to Los Angeles a day earlier than expected, he came directly to the third floor with his luggage, and saw Hugo snuggling up on the sofa holding a box of potato chips to watch "Home Alone", he couldn't help but be stunned, and then the corners of his mouth outlined a shallow arc, "Are you still a child?" It's okay to watch a childlike movie like "Home Alone" once, but only children will like it if you watch it a few more times.

Hugo didn't even look back, looking at the screen and still laughing, "It's in line with the festive atmosphere." That hearty laughter did make the family feel more Christmas, and this pure laughter also made Joseph's tense shoulders not loosen, and the situation at home in the past two days was not very good, "Why did you come back early?" Isn't it tomorrow's plane? ”

Hugo lifted the potato chips in his hand and reached for Joseph, who threw away his luggage, sat down next to Hugo, and reached for the potato chips. "Peter got into trouble again, he didn't come back on Christmas Eve, and then we were stuck in the house, and some gangsters came to the door to look for him, and I sent him away."

If Hugo is not mistaken, it was Peter who was in debt for gambling last time. The plot of "Home Alone" on the TV screen has lost its appeal, and Hugo's gaze is still on the TV screen, but his thoughts have shifted, "Then you will come back now, is it okay?" "It stands to reason that the Gibbs family needed Joseph right now.

Joseph shook his head, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing the helplessness in his heart, "My brother Paul is at home, he is also seventeen years old this year, and he is taking care of him at home, don't worry." And there is also Mary in the family, and she is now the most capable one in the family. ”

"Oh, Mary, is she okay?" Every time Joseph mentions his little sister, he is always full of love, and Hugo has already heard the cocoon in his ears.

Joseph chuckled, "She, she's good, good." She decorated the Christmas tree at home this year, and she did a great job. A smile appeared in Joseph's eyes, but soon fell silent again, "It's just Peter...... I don't know where the hell people are. ”

This is also a disadvantage of the early nineties, if in the twenty-first century, the communication network is so developed, mobile phones, credit cards can be used as a channel to track location. Of course, this is also criticized as the main culprit that leads people to hide their 'privacy' and be forced to 'expose'. It's just that, in the current situation, it is not so easy for Joseph to find Peter.

As you can imagine, Joseph's family did not have an easy life. "Peter is thirty years old, isn't he?" Hugo spoke, and Joseph nodded, "That's right, he already has an independent personality and ability to act, you have done your best, then the rest is up to him, you can't carry everything on yourself, you are not superhuman." ”

In the face of Hugo's comfort, Joseph was a little dazed, he raised his head and looked at Hugo with his eyes in confusion, "Did I really do my best?" This question made Hugo choke suddenly, family, can never be measured by normal standards, even if Joseph has done his best from the eyes of others, but in Joseph's heart, if he is unwilling to let go of himself, then the matter will never end.

Hugo couldn't say anything better about this, except to say, "You've been trying to ......" The words made Joseph pull the corners of his mouth slightly, stuff the potato chips into his mouth, and chew weakly, full of heaviness and loneliness.

Looking at Joseph like this, Hugo suddenly thought, why does he have no brothers and sisters, the United States is not a country that implements family planning, here, it is very normal for many families to have brothers and sisters, but the Lancaster family does not, is there any reason for this? But then, Hugo abandoned this idea, he is now too sensitive, and will question everything, like a "spirit" sensitive patient.

In the TV "Home Alone", Kevin is going on a big deal, punishing the two thieves who try to break the 'door', watching the thieves being eviled, full of jokes, even if these episodes have been watched a long time ago, it still makes people feel happy. Indeed, as Hugo said, the film is in keeping with the festive mood.

Joseph let out a long sigh of relief, and the whole body sank into the couch, and let out a low moan of comfort. 'Moan', 'I have to go buy a couch like yours.' ”

Hugo took a few more potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth, and his attention was once again focused on the TV screen, "When you want to watch TV, just come downstairs and watch it." ”

"By the way, I came back early because I had a job." It occurred to Joseph that it was this job that brought him back to Los Angeles from his hometown in Houston ahead of schedule.

Hugo frowned and muttered, "There is still a job for Christmas?" I thought everyone was on vacation these days. ”

"Actually, it's not a job, it's an audition, an audition for a movie." Joseph put his family affairs behind for a while and gradually relaxed himself.

"'Sugar-coated trap'?" This is Hugo's first reaction, after all, this movie has been auditioning since before the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng", but a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the audition has never started, if there is no news in the circle, Hugo will wonder if Brad Pitt has been secretly set as the leading actor by Sidney "Bo" Lacnet.

"Oh no, the audition for that movie has to be pushed back, probably around the New Year. The 'before and after' here actually refers to the after. Joseph tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Hugo at the upper corner, expressing his helplessness. In fact, at the end of the day, it was still his lack of power as an agent, and if it was Ron Meyer, this audition would certainly not be so difficult. Especially in the case that "Yihai Xiongfeng" has achieved such a 'outstanding' result.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and pursed his lips, "I'm used to it, big directors always need us to wait, not to mention, it's been a holiday recently, maybe Sidney is on vacation." "It's also a guess, but overall, that's how it is, and Hugo doesn't have much to do but wait. Because Hugo is not big enough to influence the process of film auditions. "And what kind of audition is this?"

Although the audition for "Sugar-Coated Trap" has not started for a long time, the success of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has obviously had a far-reaching impact, and other film companies have seen this, so it is not surprising that the invitation is 'door'.

"It's a chick movie. flick), do you know chick movies? "Speaking of work, Joseph sat up a little bit, and the 'spirit' came back a lot, "'Pretty Woman' and 'When Harry Met Sally' are chick movies. ”

The so-called chick movies are actually light-hearted 'waves' romantic comedies, most of which are centered on 'female' and 'sex', and male 'sex' plays a supporting role, even if it is not, the weight of 'female' and 'sex' in the movie is enough to be compared with male 'sex', and the theme of the movie is often love. In English, "chick" is a slang term for 'female' and 'sex', so this type of movie can be called a 'chicken' movie, that is, a chick movie.

Chick movies have always played a very important role in Hollywood, not only creating many American sweethearts, but also making many handsome and dashing men the objects of 'women' dreams. For example, "Tiffany's breakfast. at。 Tiffany's)" made Audrey Hepburn. hepbury。 darick。 Swayze) became famous in one fell swoop, and thus received a job of "unfinished people"; And "Pretty Woman" not only made Julia Roberts an instant hit, but also achieved the image of Richard Gere's golden bachelor.

"Yes, of course, I've always loved chick movies." Hugo nodded, he still knew something about it. No, Joseph cast an inquiring gaze, which made Hugo depressed, "What's the matter, is it only 'girl' students allowed to watch chick movies?" We can also enjoy works like 'When Harry Met Sally', can't we? ”

Generally speaking, the main audience group of 'promising' romantic comedies is 'female' and 'sex', and in the Hollywood film industry above male 'sex', the proportion of chick movies is very limited. But it is undeniable that there have been many good chick movies, such as "When Harry Met Sally", which explores the two. 'Sex'. Relationship; Another example is "Breakfast at Tiffany's", a 1961 work that is still considered a classic today.

Joseph chuckled, "Yes, that's right. Did you know that 'When Harry Met Sally' is Rob's work? ”

"Of course." Rob Reiner, the director of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", started as an actor, but his career as an actor did not improve much, but he made good achievements in the directorial position, and relied on the work "When Harry Met Sally" to become a first-class director, Hugo will naturally not forget this.

"This audition opportunity was highly recommended by Rob." That's when Joseph got to the point, "When Harry Met Sally, the writer of 'When Harry Met Sally' Nora Epron. Ephron) was going to direct a film herself, this was her second work, and it was also a chick movie, so she approached Rob and wanted Rob to make a cameo, and discussed the details of the filmmaking together. And then...... Rob then recommends you to Nora, thinking that you are a perfect fit for the lead actor in the play. ”

The "color" expression of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'female' person" allowed Hugo to get the opportunity to audition for "Yihai Xiongfeng"; And now the excellent results of "Yihai Xiongfeng" have won Hugo two audition opportunities successively, and the Hollywood circle is indeed interlocking.

Nora Ephron is a well-known screenplay who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for her debut film "Silkwood", and then again for "When Harry Met Sally". This 51-year-old 'female' strongman has brought new life to Hollywood chick movies from her 'female' and 'sexual' perspectives, and it can be said that she is a pioneer in the genre of chick movies, and it is not an exaggeration.

Hugo nodded again and again, Rob would recommend him so actively, Hugo was not surprised, because Rob had always taken care of him in the crew before, but Hugo was more curious, which script was Rob so actively recommending his role, "What is the name of the script?" ”
