052 Yi Xing Shan

Frank has always been polite, and his words are not too harsh, just stating the facts, but such words are hardly funny. This is the status quo of Hollywood, popularity is the only criterion to measure a qiΔ“, as for the many ways to win popularity, maybe acting, maybe box office, maybe topic, but getting attention to win attention and gathering is the most important thing, with popularity, a qiΔ“ will have.

In fact, with Hugo's current situation, if you go to some sports brands, you may get a warm welcome, after all, the topic of the Golden Raspberry Award is still enough. But for a top brand like Armani, what they need is masculinity and a positive image, and there is no doubt that they chose Richard over Hugo.

Although Frank has always been humble and polite, the strong confidence in the brand and the disdain for Hugo in his bones can still be clearly felt. Imagine if Richard had come to Armani, Frank would have been more than just polite.

It's just that such a reality is too cruel and cold, making people helpless.

Hugo and Joseph had come to shop happily, but now their mood immediately slipped, even if they attended the premiere of "The Final Analysis", which was not Hugo's own work anyway.

Still, Frank dutifully continues, "We have a lot of great designs for the spring, and I can introduce them to you myself if you need them. But looking at the gentlemanly smile on Frank's face at this time, he felt that there was something cheap, like a beggar that Hugo could casually dismiss.

Hugo smiled kindly at Frank and said indifferently, "No, I can't afford this price, I think I'd better change it." ”

Hugo's words were obviously taking the initiative to admit that he was poor, which was a sign of weakness, but after saying this, the atmosphere at the scene felt a little strange. Hugo seemed to say sarcastic words such as "You Armani are too high-end, I don't deserve it", and pinned Frank, who had always maintained perfect etiquette, to the spot, and the smile on his face was directly stiffened on his face, which looked wonderful.

Joseph stood next to him, saw Frank's facial expression that was almost close to twitching, and a smile flashed in his eyes, watching Hugo's back straighten into the dressing room to change clothes, Joseph suddenly felt happy.

Soon Hugo had changed his clothes, hung the suit in the dressing room, and then smiled at Frank, who was standing at the door, trying to maintain manners, and said politely, "Thank you for your hospitality." I hope that I will be able to find a job soon, and when I have enough capital, I hope to be able to buy a suitable suit in Armani. ”

Hugo's words were obviously humble, but he was full of thorns, secretly sarcastically mocking Armani's self-proclaimed innocence, so that Frank didn't know how to deal with it, and in the end he could only pretend that he didn't understand, and said with a smile, "Armani is waiting for you at any time." Then Hugo and Joseph walked out of Armani's shop with their heads held high, and Frank, who remained inside the shop, could only look helpless.

Although there were no sneering scenes in Armani today, and the clerk did not sarcastically say things like Hugo's "don't touch it if you can't afford it", the overall etiquette is in place; But the kind of discrimination that emanates from the bones, still with the self-righteousness of looking down on people with dog eyes, makes people very uncomfortable.

"One day, Armani will come to your door and beg you to wear their clothes, and you must refuse them fiercely when the time comes." Joseph spoke in a flat tone, and although his words did not fluctuate, his reluctance could be clearly heard.

Hugo chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll give you this opportunity then." ”

"Do you want to continue looking at the clothes now?" Joseph was a little more relaxed by Hugo's teasing, but there was not much left in the mood to continue shopping. Originally, men don't have much preference for shopping, and the experience in Armani just now is even more unsettling.

Hugo's eyes widened, and he said with a look of surprise, "Would you like me to wear the Golden Raspberry suit to the premiere and be compared to Richard?" Or do you simply want me to show up in a t-shirt and jeans? ”

Hugo's slightly exaggerated expression made Joseph shake his head helplessly, he naturally knew that this was impossible, even if they were in a state of interest now, but the work was still work, and it was impossible to give up because of a small setback. What's more, "Smelling a Woman" has already been filmed, and now they are waiting for the post-production to be completed, things are on track, and there is no need for them to be depressed, I believe today's encounter will not last long.

"Then let's go on, what are you still standing there for?" Joseph shrugged his shoulders and replied in the affirmative.

Hugo smiled as he walked forward, "Originally, I think there are at least hundreds of famous brand stores here, and the question is not whether we can find the right clothes, but how long it will take us to find them." After walking a little further, Hugo saw a beautifully decorated storefront and walked straight up, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

But when Hugo was about to push the glass door of the shop, he saw Joseph's footsteps stay in place, Hugo thought something had happened, and greeted Joseph warmly, "Don't worry, the Armani thing is our negligence, there are only two movies to premiere this week, how can this happen in every store." ”

Joseph still stood still, his expression was still a little strange, as if the corners of his mouth twitched, but as if he was holding back a smile, which made Hugo a little inexplicable.

At this moment, the glass door of the store pΓΉ was pushed open from the inside, and it was estimated that the clerk saw that a customer had come to the door and took the initiative to greet him. Sure enough, as soon as Hugo turned around, he saw a woman in a white shirt and black suit pants, combing a neat ponytail, and smiling, "Good afternoon, and welcome to the Chanel women's clothing store." ”

"Uh......" Hugo's smile suddenly stiffened on his face, he was talking to Joseph just now, and he didn't notice that this store was actually a women's clothing store, no wonder Joseph's behavior just now was so strange. Hugo paused, then pushed his stiff smile away, "Good afternoon, my girlfriend seems to have gone to the store next door, I'll come back later." With that, Hugo nodded calmly and walked back down the road.

Joseph, however, suddenly quickened his pace, and went straight forward as if he did not know Hugo, and it seemed that he felt ashamed.

Hugo hurriedly followed, depressed, "Hey, Joseph! You should have reminded me that you just watched me make a fool of myself. Hugo lowered his voice and complained vigorously, and suddenly he saw Joseph raise his right hand and point to the sign of the shop next to him, Hugo continued to speak, but his head turned away, "If I hadn't been clever, the scene just now would have been embarrassing, do you want me to walk in and walk around......"

Hugo's words came to an abrupt end. Because he saw the store's sign that said, "Gucci," and then a small sign in the bottom right corner, "Men's Clothing Store."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Grass. These are the only words Hugo can say right now.

And Joseph couldn't hold back after all, he laughed loudly, and his steps forward couldn't help but become brisk. Hugo patted his head in annoyance, but did not dare to look back to see if the Chanel clerk had come forward, so he could only follow Joseph's footsteps quickly, until he was a hundred yards away from the area, and then Joseph really laughed - it was very hard to hold back, and this was the first time Hugo heard Joseph laugh out loud.

Looking at Joseph's gloating expression, Hugo himself couldn't help laughing, and even if he thought about it himself, he felt that the scene just now was too interesting.

Although Hugo made a big fool, it allowed the two of them to successfully put the Armani affair behind them and refocus on shopping.

There are countless top brands on Rodeo Drive, and the choice is still dazzling after giving up on Armani. And this premiere is very important, not only Hugo's first public appearance after the Golden Raspberry Award, but also shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting Richard's mature charm, so the choice of clothing must not be neglected. So, even if the two men were really tired, they didn't make do with it, and in the end, after tossing for most of the afternoon, Hugo and Joseph finally bought a suitable suit at Givenchy, spending 4,500 dollars, which was a big investment for the upcoming premiere, and finally ended the torturous process.

Holding the suit in his hand, Hugo couldn't help but sigh, "The rent is only three hundred dollars, and a set of clothes is almost our five months' living expenses, which is really luxurious." "I was envious of the stars under the spotlight, but after experiencing it myself, it didn't seem so good.

Joseph chuckled, "Isn't the suit you wore to Hudson's Eagle more expensive, don't you remember?" In Hollywood, there is never a cap on the price of these things. ”

Hugo didn't dare to ask how much the suit he wore in the "Hudson Eagle" was, but he muttered in his heart that he couldn't remember any clothes in the closet that looked particularly valuable.

"But the last time you went to the bar in that outfit, you got drunk and threw up, and you threw it away the next day, it's really a pity, otherwise it's worth a lot of money to pawn it after dry cleaning." Joseph continued to throw the bomb, and Hugo was dumbfounded.

Seeing Hugo's stunned expression, Joseph couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

Hugo was stunned, and then said, "Are we so poor that we have to pawn?" ”

"Please, isn't that the point of what I just said?" This was probably the only thought in Joseph's mind at this time.
