Hugo didn't wait for Charlize to call back, and the next day he called again, this time again from Tyra, saying that Charlize had gone out to dinner. But this time Tyra also conveyed Charlize's message, "She said, she's fine, don't worry about her." ”

Hugo didn't figure out any flavor in this sentence. It sounded like a response to his own message, and it also expressed Charlize's understanding of his behavior of saying goodbye without saying goodbye, but he always felt that there was something unusual in his words, but Hugo didn't know whether this anomaly was real or his own whims. However, Hugo was relieved to be able to get Charlize's understanding.

Hugo would not deny his crush on Charlize, he felt that Charlize must have felt similar to him, otherwise there would not be so much follow-up between the two of them that night, so Hugo still didn't want to ruin this qiē because of an accident. Of course, the future development of the two people still depends on the next process to know, Hugo originally planned to ask Charlize to come out again, but the call of the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" made Hugo have to start preparing for his first work that is about to start filming.

Although Joseph is an agent who has only changed careers for less than 18 months, with the big tree of the international innovation management company, Joseph is still making rapid progress, both in terms of contacts and adaptation to the work. After the audition results of "Smell a Woman" came out, in less than two days, Joseph completed all the signing work, making Hugo truly a member of the crew of "Smell a Woman". And the next day, the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" asked Hugo to New York, and the movie was about to start filming.

This opportunity was won by Hugo with all his might, and it was also the best chance for him to break through the current predicament, and he naturally did not want to mess up, not to mention, he was going to play against Al-Pacino, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity did not come up very often. Therefore, Hugo must devote himself to the preliminary preparation for filming, not only the work of fitting on and taking pictures, but also the understanding of the role and the work of acting skills, which also made Hugo almost not even have time to rest for three days before and after, let alone call Charlize.

When the work was ready, Hugo didn't seem to come to his senses, and he and Joseph flew to New York (new. york).

Joseph looked at Hugo, who was a little nervous on his right hand, and thought that Hugo was worried about the article in today's "Los Angeles Times", but after thinking about it, he still opened his mouth to comfort, "Don't worry, you just need to be yourself after you join the crew." The newspaper reviews don't decide anything. "Keeping your actors in a good frame of mind is part of an agent's job.

Hugo's gaze unconsciously fluttered around, the qiē in the cabin of the plane was so unfamiliar to him, not that there was anything special about the structure of the plane, but the dark blue printed cushions, silk white shirt and red suit vest flight attendant uniform, full of strong nineties retro style, is really a little unbearable.

Hearing Joseph's words, Hugo couldn't help but retract his attention and hide his behavior with a smile, "What's the matter, what did the newspaper say?" As soon as the words were spoken, Hugo realized that he was confused, "Oh, you mean the 'Los Angeles Times', I only read one headline this morning, and I haven't read the content yet, is there anything wrong?" ”

The front page of the Los Angeles Times today was Woody Allen and his adopted daughter. Lun's latest progress, the twenty-third edition reported the news that Hugo officially signed a contract with the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", and the news headline read, "Wrong Choice", obviously disagreeing with the crew's final decision. And not only the "Los Angeles Times", most authoritative media have a negative attitude towards Hugo's appearance this time, and it is obvious that the sequelae of the Golden Raspberry Award are still affecting Hugo's acting career.

Joseph realized that Hugo was just distracted, not nervous at all, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, "Nothing, don't worry." ”

Hugo picked up the "Los Angeles Times" on his lap, which he had in his hand when he boarded the plane, and continued to say while flipping through it, "The reporter who wrote this article today is the same as last time, does he have anything to do with our company, why can you see him every time you report it?" ”

"You mean Nicholas? If there is a involvement, he will not find fault with you three times or twice. Joseph is more or less aware of the sources of these reports and the reporters, which is part of his job, and if there is a more serious negative news, he must also be responsible for contacting the reporters to minimize the negative impact or even take down the news.

In fact, after the refinement of this work, the public relations agent is in charge, which is the professional, but now Hugo can only be regarded as a fledgling, and has not reached the level of a public relations agent at all, so Joseph temporarily takes full responsibility.

The journalist Hugo just talked about is full name Nicholas McLais. McCallum), a professional reporter for the Los Angeles Times, wrote the follow-up to the Golden Raspberry Awards, and signed his name to the report of the failed audition for "Big River Love", so it can be seen that he has no good impression of Hugo, and he is cynical and sneering every time he reports. This time is no exception, Nicholas is obviously not optimistic about Hugo's prospects in the crew of "Smell a Woman", and even expressed concern about the whole movie.

"I thought I robbed him of his girlfriend, so he targeted me three times and twice." Hugo laughed lightly and teased, and then turned his eyes to the newspaper in his hand, but he didn't find today's "wrong choice" report for a long time, and Hugo didn't think that the newspaper was wrong, so he could only turn it over.

Just as Hugo was pondering, Joseph next to him said coldly, "You took it the other way around." ”

Embarrassment. Hugo's movements suddenly stiffened in place, so he said how the bold and the position of the picture was so strange, he couldn't help chuckling twice, hiding his embarrassment, and then pretending to calmly turn the newspaper upside down, which was suddenly much more pleasing to the eye. His confused problem has never been changed, but fortunately it is just some small problems, and he is never sloppy in the general direction, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Hugo was reading the manuscript of "The Wrong Choice" when the plane was ready to take off. Today they are leaving Los Angeles for New York, because most of the filming of the film "Smell a Woman" will take place in New York, and some other scenes will be in New Jersey near New York. jersey) and Boston. Sensing the plane taxiing, Hugo looked away from the newspaper and out the window.

Watching the City of Angels become smaller and smaller in sight, the color outside the window gradually fades from thick ink to clear blue, which is like a drop of ink dripping from clear water, from thick to light, the slightly blurred color has a thrilling beauty.

From Los Angeles to New York, it takes more than five hours to get from the West Coast to the East Coast, a very different regional experience, but also a long flight, long enough to make people feel the very different cityscapes in the same season. Although it's still January and the whole northern hemisphere is in winter, the bright sunshine on the west coast always makes it easy to forget the cold of winter, but this time the east coast greeted Hugo with a heavy rain, clearly telling Hugo: although the east coast and the west coast are the same country, the customs are very different.

When the plane is at JFK International Airport (JF. kennedy。 iional。 airport) landed, the cityscape outside the sun visor was obscured by the rain curtain, and the view was only hazy, and the ground temperature of 35 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) made Hugo miss the sunny day of 65 degrees Fahrenheit (18 degrees Celsius) in Los Angeles before he left the plane.

Hugo suddenly began to get nervous, and the chaos of his mind forced him to turn his attention to the continuous rain and fog outside the window, and the breath of winter mixed with the rain smashed on the ground and picked up strings of splashes. In fact, compared to the collaboration with Al Pacino, Hugo's heart beats more than the thought of the upcoming shooting.

Hometown timidity, that's probably it. I have always dreamed of being able to stand in front of the camera and perform in a dignified manner, but when the opportunity really came, I was swayed by the nervous feelings, worried that I would ruin the performance, worried that I would ruin this opportunity, and worried that I would reduce the quality of the masterpiece "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman......

"You can do it, you can do it, you can do it......" On the way out of the airport and getting into a yellow taxi, Hugo didn't have the heart to look at the world's largest city, his eyes fell on the rain screen but there was no focus, because he was constantly self-hypnosis, he had to believe in his own strength, but also in his persistence and persistence, so that he could find a stable corner from the tension and get ready for the upcoming shoot.

"Here we are." Joseph's voice interrupted Hugo's inner thoughts, Hugo turned his head to look at the left side of the taxi, and then saw a waiter in a knee-length trench coat holding an umbrella to the taxi door, opened the door, put the umbrella above the door, Hugo got out of the car, the whole person was wrapped in the umbrella, the surrounding rain curtain blocked New York outside, Hugo curled up in the small world of umbrellas.

Walking to the door of the hotel, the waiter put away the umbrella, the curtain above his head disappeared, and when he looked back, the high-rise buildings in New York immediately came into view, the dampness under his feet and the strong wind surging in all directions, made Hugo clearly realize: "Smell the fragrance and know the woman" crew, I am here.
