Objectively speaking, Charlize's black pepper roasted turkey 'chicken' actually tastes very good, but it is too spicy and choking, and the sales of the guide zhì are not good, and it has become the biggest highlight of Thanksgiving Day in 1992, even Carl's wonderful stewed lamb chops have not been able to steal Charlize's style.

On the second day of Thanksgiving, Alex came back first, and Hugo and Charlize also ended the three-night "two-person world" and returned to the balance of the three people, which made both of them secretly relieved. Joseph waited until Saturday to return, his tiredness clearly written on his beard, and the heavy dark circles under his eyes made his ice-blue eyes lose their lustre.

Although Hugo was also curious about what was going on at Joseph's house and what the million dollars were for, he also knew that it was Joseph's family affair, and if Joseph didn't want to say it, he had better not ask. It has nothing to do with the depth of friendship, even the best of friends, because for each person the family is a special being, if he wants to tell you, he will not hide it, on the contrary, if he does not want to say it, even a confidant may not say a word. So, Hugo didn't ask anything, just asked Joseph if the road was going well, if things were okay, and that's all.

As soon as Thanksgiving passed, the footsteps of December came to the side, and the release schedule of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea" was immediately approaching, and Hugo and Joseph began to get busy again.

is different from "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", which chose to be released on a large scale in 1,900 theaters, obviously because they wanted to make a difference at the box office - this is also the reason why Tom Cruise was chosen in the first place, and now that the actor has been replaced by Hugo, Columbia Pictures is naturally more nervous and cautious. Therefore, a series of warm-up promotions were arranged before the release of the movie, and Hugo appeared on various programs with the heavy responsibility of the premiere box office, hoping to achieve the "door" red.

On Monday, Joseph drove Hugo to Burbank's studio again to participate in the recording of "The Tonight Show."

After Hugo recorded "The Tonight Show" last time, the ratings achieved very good results, and the program broadcast at 11:35 p.m. won 4.8 million viewers, which was not only the ratings champion in the same period, but also became the highest-rated program of "The Tonight Show" in November, it can be seen that people are full of interest in Hugo's ups and downs in the actor's career.

The car slowly drove into the parking lot, where Hugo's parking space had been arranged - according to the special "door" of the program recording time arranged guest parking space, so Joseph did not 'spend' any effort to park the car, just when Hugo unbuckled his seat belt, Joseph spoke, "Hugo, I didn't go back to Houston this time." ”

Joseph hesitated for a long time, even after returning to Los Angeles this time, including before he opened his mouth, he was not sure whether he should tell Hugo the truth, because it was his own family's business. Joseph has always convinced himself that he and Hugo are only working partners, and there is no need to 'confide' in each other about personal 'private' matters, and Hugo never mentions anything in the family, and he does the same. But in the end Joseph failed.

When he suddenly wanted to borrow money, Hugo nodded and agreed without any hesitation; When he turned away rashly, Hugo did not ask himself why, nor did he chase after him; When he postponed his return, Hugo not only did not worry that he would run away with the money, nor did he ask about his family affairs, but gave himself enough trust...... That's a million dollars, and Joseph knows that Hugo's trust is far deeper than a million.

So, Joseph spoke, even if he still didn't want to talk more, but he knew that he should give Hugo an answer. After saying the first sentence, Joseph saw Hugo cast a surprised look, "What about Thanksgiving?" This was Hugo's first reaction, he didn't ask Joseph why he lied to himself about going back to Houston, nor did he ask Joseph what to do, he just cared about Thanksgiving.

Joseph gave a wry smile, "I went to Las Vegas. vegas)。 "It's a casino, and the situation seems to have become clear," Did I mention my brother Peter to you?" Hugo nodded suspiciously and did not speak, which made Joseph take a deep breath and finish the rest of the words in one go, "He lost a lot of money in Las Vegas and was suppressed by the local forces. My father couldn't figure out what to do, so he called me. ”

Although Joseph only said a beginning, and then saw the beginning, the later story Hugo can basically depict clearly, gambling and drugs. Addiction is the same, once it is contaminated, it is difficult to quit, and if you are strict, it will also lead to the destruction of the family. Hugo didn't know what Joseph's family was like, but occasionally heard Joseph mention that the family always had infinite affection, so it is not surprising that Joseph asked Hugo for help for his brother.

Joseph's return was delayed for two days after Thanksgiving, and it seems that Peter's affairs were so tricky that Joseph took some more time to deal with them. Hugo had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and then sighed softly, the bonds of family can make people happy, but they can also make people helpless, "Is that all settled now?"

Joseph 'rubbed' his own temples and nodded, "Well, it's all settled." ”

"That's good." Hugo patted Joseph on the shoulder and fell silent, he didn't know what to say, because this was the first time he and Joseph mentioned the 'private' matter at home, although Joseph asked Hugo to call home, but as for the effect of the call, Joseph never asked, so today's conversation also made Hugo a little strange, he didn't know whether he should express his concern like a good friend, or let this matter end up with Joseph himself.

Hugo took a deep breath, "So, let's get ready for today's work." Hugo guessed that Joseph should want to thank himself, but in fact, for Hugo, he didn't have much real feeling, just a string of numbers on the bank account, and it was also a string of numbers that were not covered up, so this favor was just a gesture.

Sure enough, Joseph called out to Hugo, "Hugo, thank you." Joseph once again expressed his true feelings in his heart, not only thanking Hugo for being willing to lend him the money, but also thanking Hugo for his trust in him, "I will try my best to return this money to you." ”

"Hey, man, don't lie to me." Hugo said with a smile, making Joseph stunned, "You know you can't give me back 'as much as you can'." "With Joseph's agent's 'draw', it is indeed a very difficult task to raise 1 million in a short period of time. Hugo's honesty made Joseph laugh out loud, "So, you have to work harder, and then pray that I can find more and better jobs, maybe the progress will be much faster." ”

Joseph knew that Hugo was telling the truth, and he was comforting himself, Joseph let out a long breath and nodded, "Then what are you doing in the car, you can't be late for work today!" Give me the hard work!" Joseph also made a little joke with Hugo, squeezing his fists as he spoke, as if he were an evil capitalist exploiting the hard-earned money of the workers.

Hugo restrained his smile, showed a trembling expression, and hurriedly opened the car door, "Yes, yes, sir, I'll go to work right away." After getting out of the car, he stumbled all the way in the direction of the elevator, while Joseph followed quickly behind him, causing the idlers in the parking lot to look sideways.

Walking into the dressing room, many staff members stepped forward and took the initiative to greet Hugo, which was not treated when I came here last time, it can be seen that the "color" of the program's ratings made the staff very welcome Hugo's arrival, and even the host Jieyi Renaud personally ran over and gave Hugo a big hug, "I didn't expect to meet again so soon, so, how is the state today?"

Jay hadn't changed into a suit at this time, he was wearing a simple shirt and holding a bag of potato chips in his hand, looking like the uncle of the next-door neighbor, but this uncle's chin was really eye-catching. Hugo said with a smile, "It's good, it's all good, especially when I see this familiar jaw and suddenly make me feel like home......

Jay's jaw is called mandibular protrusion, which has also become one of his trademarks, "This is a heavy weapon, you have to be careful." As a comedian, Jay's self-deprecation is admirable, and the dressing room burst into laughter. How's that, are there any taboo topics for today's propaganda?"

Jay's question made Hugo look at Joseph quite unexpectedly, he didn't understand why Jay would bring up such a topic at this moment, because as far as Hugo knows, there are indeed some big-name stars in the entertainment industry who are forbidden to chat when they are on the show, such as scandals, but this situation is more common in Asia, and it is rare in the more open speech environment in Europe and the United States. Moreover, Hugo did not get any hints from Joseph.

After making sure that Joseph was also confused, Hugo looked at Jay with a smile, "I hope you don't mention the mess that I went in the wrong direction when I went to the bathroom today, it will be a huge blow to my popularity among the 'women' group." ”

Hugo's solemn 'handover' made the makeup artist next to him not hold back, so he burst out laughing, and saliva sprayed Jie's right arm all over the place, and the situation was suddenly out of control. Jay narrowed his eyes and said to the makeup artist, "I think you'll need to get some hot water and come over and hand wash my shirt on the spot, otherwise I won't have any clothes on the show." A joke resolved this embarrassment, and then Jie looked at Hugo again and said, "That's good, compared to some people who obviously like men, they must declare that they are heterosexual people who are normally married, and we are not allowed to discuss it on the show, which is too embarrassing." Especially when I saw his lotus 'flower' finger, it was hard for me to control the idea of asking my own questions, which was really tormenting. ”

Who is this person that Jie is satirizing, "Fortunately, 'Yihai Xiongfeng' is your work. Jie added, and then said with a smile, "I have to find an iron, otherwise I won't be able to catch the live broadcast, see you later." ”

Watching Jay's backs leave, Hugo and Joseph looked at each other. Could it be that the person who is sarcastic is ...... Tom Cruise or Brad Pett?
