Hugo's move was not difficult, even if all his and Joseph's luggage were added, it was only one trip to move, but since there was only one mattress in the new home that belonged to Hugo, and there was no hanger for hanging clothes, the purchase of basic daily necessities was the most troublesome.

"I thought you'd continue to share a room with me, wouldn't it be easier to work?" Hugo originally thought that Joseph had found a three-bedroom apartment with two living rooms, and he planned to continue to share a house, after all, Joseph's current situation is worse than Hugo's, and it is clear how much Hugo has his commission.

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

Joseph was laughed and cried 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. Just as I was about to move, he moved with him, come here, he can barely afford the first two months of rent, if it's not enough, I'll pay it for the time being, and then let him pay it back to me later. ”

The house here is unfurnished, so the rent is 1,500 dollars a month, and it is 500 dollars for three people. However, on the third floor where Hugo is located, Hugo is currently only the second tenant, so he needs to pay $750 in rent for the time being after moving in, and will wait until the third person moves in; However, the three rooms on the fourth floor where Joseph was located could be filled, which could be regarded as relieving Carl's burden.

Carl Earle, Hugo remembered the last time he went to the company when he sat in his position and did nothing, and he couldn't help but sigh. It's not that Carl doesn't work the contrary, he is a very good agent, but he didn't find the right opportunity for him. Carl doesn't want to stay in the company if he can, he prefers to go out and seek opportunities.

Hugo suddenly remembered Charlize again, he hasn't called the other party again in the past few days, since he has called at least eight times before and after, and he has not contacted the other party, maybe there is no fate, so why continue to force it, after all, this is Hollywood. Although Hugo has a good impression of Charlize, it is only a good feeling, not a liking or a love, because they do not have enough time to communicate and develop.

If Charlize can sign with Carl, maybe it's a good deal. Hugo thought this purely from the standpoint of a friend.

"Moreover, when this apartment was rented, it was said that the co-tenant must be an actor, because the person who lives here is an actor, and the landlord feels that a group of peers living here is easier to manage and reduce some disputes." Joseph adds that this is not unusual.

There is no shortage of actors in Los Angeles, but there are not only actors here, but also people from other industries, because of the particularity of their profession, actors' working hours are unstable, and their daily routines are unstable, and if they share a house with other industries, especially 9-to-5, it will have an impact on both parties. So if you share a house with the same actors, you can reduce a lot of trouble. Peaceful coexistence between co-tenants is good news for landlords.

It is precisely for these reasons that Joseph did not share a house with Hugo, but lived upstairs, anyway, the distance is so close, and the work will not be too troublesome.

Hugo looked at the first room on the left, the door was still wide open, and he still didn't see anyone, "It seems that he either has a job, or he went to an interview, otherwise he didn't see him twice over." Hugo hasn't seen his future roommate yet, so he moved in directly, I don't know what kind of person it is, and it's hard to make a judgment just from that orangutan boxing shorts.

"You'll always see it anyway......" Hugo hugged his box and walked towards the room on the left, but after only two steps, his head hit him again, Hugo stood in place and shook twice, and the box in his hand smashed down directly, and Hugo directly began to retch.

Joseph, who was originally standing behind and pulling the suitcase, heard the sound of the box falling to the ground, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Hugo's bent figure, he immediately walked up quickly, slowly helped Hugo to the sofa and sat down, and looked at Hugo with a worried face.

Joseph knew that it was still a withdrawal reaction. In fact, when filming "Smell a Woman", Hugo still suffered from withdrawal four times, but fortunately three times were when he was in the room at night, and only one time was on the set, so he was forced to interrupt the shooting. Fortunately, withdrawal comes with staying away from drugs. The elongation of the production time will gradually weaken, and when Hugo reacted on the set, he was not strict, did not affect the process of the crew, and quickly got through the difficulties.

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

Thinking about it, Joseph remembered, even if he was completely away from drugs. Withdrawal should also last for at least three months, and even six months for those who are strict. Hugo wants to completely defeat poison. Obviously, there is still a long way to go.

Hugo overcame the spasms of his stomach and the cold sweat all over his body, and finally gradually recovered. At this time, the withdrawal reaction is not so strict, you only need to sit down and rest a little to persevere, but you will be weak afterwards. Hugo leaned weakly on the back of the sofa and exhaled slowly, no matter how hard it was, he would persevere, poison. He will never touch it!

Joseph looked at the sweat on Hugo's forehead, stood up silently, went to pour a glass of pure water, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was more appropriate to drink warm water at this time, so he poured the water, rummaged around the kitchen, and finally found a kettle in the closet, washed it briefly, filled it with water, and put it on the stove.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Joseph finally couldn't hold back, stood in the kitchen, and asked in a loud voice.

Hugo sat in the hall, chuckled, the corners of his mouth were drawn tiredly, and suddenly heard Joseph's voice echo, this feeling was very strange, and this gave him a sense of realism in moving to a new house, "I've persevered until now, what else can I do." "The first three times of the strictest zhòng, after getting through, one qiē is not so difficult. Even in the process of filming "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", Hugo always persevered.

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

"Hey, man, you're here." An unfamiliar voice came from the hall, tired but full of energy, and the slightly high-pitched tone even had a hint of excitement, "Oh God, you're Hugo Lancaster!" The landlord didn't sue me, you were the one who rented the house! ”

When Joseph came out of the kitchen, he saw a young man standing next to the sofa and jumping and jumping, while Hugo was still leaning weakly on the sofa, looking at the young man like this, and he felt as if Hugo was watching a circus show. The young man was slender, not six feet tall, but at least five feet ten inches (one meter seven. 8), the facial features are very three-dimensional but slightly rounded, coupled with the flowing curly hair, although it is not a handsome and handsome type, but it has a somewhat French chic demeanor.

"My God, my God, my God......" The young man couldn't suppress his excitement, and the rapid breathing even made people wonder if he was going to faint in the next moment, this look can only be explained by fans when they see their idols, otherwise it will be a rival in love, "Jesus, my new roommate is actually Hugo Lancaster, this is really incredible, oh God!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Alexander!" Hugo felt that the scene seemed to be a little out of control, and couldn't help frowning, the corners of his mouth went up, and he asked in a loud voice. Hugo learned from his landlord that his roommate's name was Alexandre. Lorraine), a young man of twenty years old.

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

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

Alex nodded repeatedly, and the tears in his eyes were really about to fall, "It's really good, it's great." He looked at Hugo excitedly with those teary eyes, "Dear Hugo, I really like you so much, I have seen all the works you have starred in, 'Little Restaurant', 'Dune', 'Dead Poets Society', 'Hudson's Eagle'...... I really like your performance, I think you're just an acting genius, you have contributed great acting skills 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 terrible script and bad director, the movie would have been a big hit. ”

It turns out that Hugo also met his own valued fans, which is very surprising, first of all, the other party is a boy, secondly, the other party is an actor, and then the other party is his new roommate, which is indeed intriguing.

"Including 'QuickSilver'?" Joseph also seemed a little unconvinced, but still asked.

"Yes, including the 'Silver Swift'! There's also the 'Chocolate Wars'. chocolate。 war）’。 Alex said without hesitation, which surprised Joseph.

Joseph looked at Hugo, pursed his lips and nodded, as if to say: yes, he is a real fan of yours.

Hugo also felt it, because even he didn't know what the previous body starred in, and Alex could actually count the treasures, this ability is not easy. In particular, Alex is so convinced of the "Hudson Eagle", and it can be seen that he worships him.

"Uh, what should I say? What if you were a film critic? Hugo's slightly raised tone was full of uncertainty, but the slightly teasing tone did make both Joseph and Alex laugh.

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

"Hahahaha...... "Hugo is really happy this time."
