Although the band's practice cannot begin for the time being, and finding drummers and keyboardists is a priority, it is a wonderful start, which means that one day, Hugo can continue his musical dreams in the band again, even if this day will still be a long wait, but full of hope.

However, the affairs of the band members are not rushed, especially like Hugo, who gather for musical preferences, and like-minded musical partners are the most important thing than quickly forming a band to join the performance. Therefore, the three of them agreed that they would rather lack than abuse the search for drummers and keyboardists.

After the three of them worked together to pay six months' rent, during this time Hugo began to run frequently to the poor streets, and he and Neil and Pedro also had a combat base, although the three of them could not practice the band as a whole, but they performed many times on the street, and the three of them made many different attempts, not only Pedro began to gradually understand the true meaning of Hugo's comments on him last time, but Hugo and Neil also learned a lot of things.

Performance is indeed an important way for the band to grow in strength.

On this day, Hugo finished another street performance, and after saying goodbye to Pedro and Neil, Hugo lowered the brim of his cap, took the bus home, and walked upstairs with his guitar on his back, and when he saw Ernst walking out on the second floor, he took the initiative to say hello, "Hey, Ernst, good evening." ”

Ernst glanced back and found that it was Hugo, and replied vaguely, "Hmph", although he still didn't look at Hugo, but at least he didn't speak ill of each other as before, which was also a greeting to Hugo. Then Ernst walked down the stairs on crutches without looking back.

Hugo was used to it, so he wasn't surprised at all, and just shouted downstairs, "Goodbye, Ernst." After a while, Ernst could hear a heavy "hum", and Hugo laughed and continued up to the third floor.

Back at home, Alex and Charlize are not there, Hugo has been at home recently, but the two of them have received jobs one after another, although they are not regular performances, but at least they can gain acting experience, and there is also income, which is naturally great. As a result, Joseph was the only one sitting cross-legged on the couch, looking lonely.

"Came back so early today?" Hugo opened his mouth to say hello, in fact, Joseph has been very busy recently, he has been trying to find new audition opportunities for Hugo, and also uses his spare time to learn the professional theory of agents, and strive to sort out the complex connections in the entertainment industry, he is trying to grow into a qualified agent step by step. So today Joseph actually arrived home before nine o'clock, and Hugo was still a little surprised.

"Yes, I ran to a few PR agencies with Rick today, had dinner, and then a PR agent had a bad stomach and went to the emergency room, so I came back early." Joseph raised the potato chips in his hand and asked Hugo if he would eat them, Hugo waved his hand, walked to the kitchen first, poured himself a glass of water, and then prepared to make coffee.

"Rick takes you there, is it okay?" Since learning about the internal situation of the International Sword New Management Company on New Year's Eve, Hugo has paid more attention to this aspect.

After the Golden Globe Awards, Lang disappeared again, and he didn't pay attention to Hugo at all, it can be seen that the "return" proposal he put forward on New Year's Eve was naturally over, and now Hugo is a hot potato, so he is unwilling to accept it. However, Rick and Lawson's attitude has not changed much, not too close and not too distant.

"Today is an occasion for our company to cooperate with other PR agencies, and many people have gone, and I am just one of them." Joseph explained simply.

In Hollywood, film agents, music agents and public relations agents are all different functions, and it is necessary to distinguish between professions, for example, there are many categories of agents in film, music, publishing, screenwriting, sports and other categories in the International Sword New Management Company. But most of Hollywood's PR agencies are independent, because this is a completely separate and independent business, but there is a relationship of interest between PR agencies and agencies, so each agency will have a fixed cooperation with PR agencies.

"Originally, I wanted to find you a PR agent, and if we encounter those negative news in the future, we won't be in a hurry to 'mess'." Joseph continued, the media resources in the hands of public relations agents are naturally more abundant, and their professional skills also provide great help, "But I didn't expect to get another inside information, it is estimated that the report will be published tomorrow, I saw the model newspaper of the 'Los Angeles Times'." ”

"Really?" Hugo walked to the hall with a glass of water, sat down on the sofa, and breathed a sigh of relief, "I just feel a little bit of the advantage of the so-called insiders." ”

Joseph put the chips between his knees and looked at Hugo with a serious face, "Aren't you curious about what the inside news is?"

Hugo swallowed the boiling water in his mouth, and looked at Joseph's expression carefully, although on the surface it still seems to be Joseph's strict and old-fashioned expression, but after getting acquainted, Hugo can also detect the difference from the details of Joseph's face, for example, now, Joseph's eyebrows and under his eyes are a little excited, and even a little eager, it seems that this is good news.

"Tell me, whose gossip." Hugo couldn't help but wonder what kind of news could make Joseph so happy, knowing that Joseph was not a gossip person.

The corners of Joseph's mouth slightly outlined an arc, "'Sugar-coated trap'." Hugo paused, and looked at Joseph in a daze, he didn't know why Joseph was now mentioning the "sugar-coated trap", and he was still excited. Joseph didn't delay any longer, and said directly, "The casting is officially over, and the shooting will start next Monday, and the male lead will be Tom Cruise, and the 'female' lead will be Jenny Triphorn (Jearipplehorn) in the end." ”

"Uh, who?" Hugo really didn't react.

"I know, I can't remember who this Triphorn is, but after a little inquiry, I found out that it was in 'Ben. Yes, the one who plays the doctor, this is just her third movie. The smile on Joseph's lips rose slightly, and his eyes flashed with relieved excitement.

Hugo blurted out a "what", Martin Baum tossed for so long before, but he didn't win the role for Brad and Pete, and Uma and Thurman planned for so long, but in the end it was a failure, and the male and female protagonists of the movie were not on the list of revelations before, which is really exciting.

"Are you sure?" Hugo still couldn't believe it, and asked again.

Joseph nodded vigorously, "It's been confirmed, and the Los Angeles Times will report on it tomorrow." Immediately, Joseph lowered his head and chuckled, the corners of his mouth 'revealed' a touch of mockery, he only felt a bad breath, he had been unhappy because of the "sugar-coated trap" casting before, and now it's fine, Tracy's plans all failed, and in the end, Sidney and 'Bo' Lac took the initiative by themselves, which is really relieving!

Hugo sighed lightly, although Uma only became a pawn of Tracy and Martin in the end, which was a relief; But Hugo's heart is more empty, it turns out that his relationship with Uma is such an ending, Uma gave up their feelings for the so-called career, and as a result, Uma's career was not able to climb the high branches, the bamboo basket was empty, and in the end, there was nothing, which also made Uma's abandonment seem ridiculous, and the relationship that Uma gave up was even more sad.

"It turns out that Tom has a plan for a long time." Hugo sighed meaningfully, causing Joseph to be suspicious, and Hugo explained, "When the New Year's Eve party was due, Cruise and his wife attended Sidney's pie duì, and perhaps now it seems that he was already planning at that time." Missing 'Yihai Xiongfeng' was a blow to him, and this opportunity for 'Sugar-Coated Trap' is even more important. ”。

Joseph also connected things together at this time, "Compared with Brad, who was a fledgling at the beginning, Sidney, who originally hoped to build a luxury lineup, naturally chose Tom who was in the sky." There are probably not many directors like Rob who will choose you. Joseph didn't forget to tease.

Hugo remembered Brad's expression at the previous Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Joseph looked at Hugo's smile and asked, "You say, will Uma call you?" Uma had turned around and left for the sake of the "sugar-coated trap", and now that this work has failed, it is not surprising that Joseph has such speculation.

Hugo shook his head, "She won't." First of all, the focus of the quarrel between the two of them that day was the "sugar-coated trap" at first, but then it was a matter of trust, and the "sugar-coated trap" was not important; Secondly, she is Uma Thurman, she will not admit her mistakes, at least she will not bow to Hugo, just like she resolutely turned around that day, and after making a decision, she will go all the way to the end.

Hugo discovers that he really knows Uma, but Uma doesn't know himself.

Hugo fell silent, today is February 14th, Valentine's Day. On such a special day, knowing such news, it is really a bit ironic, Hugo suddenly remembered that not long ago when he participated in the recording of the "Oprah talk show" to mention the topic of anniversaries, in fact, Hugo is really not sensitive to anniversaries at all, but today I saw countless lovers on the street in pairs, so I remembered, and after I came back, I learned such news. This Valentine's Day, it has become so special and ironic.

Seeing Hugo's gloomy expression, Joseph hurriedly opened his mouth again to change the topic, "There is still good news that I haven't told you, don't you plan to hear it?" It was because of this good news that Joseph dared to bring up the topic of Uma, and sure enough, he saw Hugo's curious look. Joseph smiled and said, "Nora and Ephron have called me, and she wants to give you a second audition." ””。

Hugo didn't react at first, and Joseph went on to explain, "'Sleepless in Seattle'?" The questioning tone tried to awaken Hugo's memory.

"Uh, what?" Hugo didn't hold the cup in his hand for a while, and fell directly to the crotch of the 'pants', which 'wet' the apricot-colored overalls 'pants', making Hugo jump up. Looking down at the crotch of his 'pants', a large water stain looks like a ......

"If you want to go to the bathroom, you should ...... it in time," Joseph said in a serious manner.
