If Ron Meyer had known, he had rejected Hugo here, and then Hugo was helped by Paul Jonge Witt to attend the premiere of the film, or with "Ben." can "fight against the stage, it is estimated that the face will definitely not be much better."

Originally, Joseph came down to find the address book and see if there was any way that had not been considered, but now it is not needed, and Paul's invitation solves the problem, which is really wonderful. Joseph took the invitation from Hugo, opened the beautifully wrapped envelope, and took out the black card inside, which was written in gold letters, "'Final analysis. analysis）’？ Joseph didn't think about this movie for a while, and couldn't help but look at Carl, who was standing opposite.

Kim Basinger (Kim. basinger）。 Carl remembered it and said the names of the main actors, while also awakening Joseph's memory.

"Oh, and Richard. Gere) collaboration! Joseph took over, and he finally remembered this film, which was a work of great prominence, no weaker than "Ben." Yes". But then Joseph remembered something and looked at Hugo with some concern.

Hugo hadn't heard of the "final analysis" movie and didn't know anything about it, but he was familiar with the two actors, Kim Basinger and Richard Gere.

Kim Basinger, the first actress in history to appear on both the cover of "Playboy" and win an Oscar, quickly became known for her sexy, mature temperament in the early eighties, and then made a name for herself in the film industry with a passionate performance in "Nine and a Half Weeks of Love", in 1989 she starred as Tim Burton. Burton) version of "Batman", which has achieved great results. Of course, what really made Kim go down in history was the work that won her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1997. a。 fidential）”。 Kim Basinger, who was thirty-nine years old at this time, seemed to be the most high-profile goddess-level figure in Hollywood.

Speaking of Richard Gere, the sexy icon with the most explosive influence in the eighties, is clearly the top of the list, starting with "American Gigo. gigolo) "to" officers and gentlemen (an. officer。 and。 a。 gentleman)" and then to "Pretty Woman", all of which made him a glamorous man who was popular in Hollywood.

However, compared to Kim Basinger's sexy bomb image that swept the world, Hugo's biggest knowledge of Richard Gere is that this is a treasure. Alone. element, Richard has repeatedly spoken out in public. Chinese. remarks, making it difficult for Hugo to have a positive impression of him.

Hugo doesn't know what will happen at the premiere, and it would be strange if he was inexplicably hostile to Richard, not to mention that he is still an outright white man.

Hugo was thinking about the premiere here, but there was a touch of worry in Joseph's eyes, "Hugo, are you okay with attending this premiere?" ”

Hugo was shocked and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that his rejection and disdain for Richard were seen by Joseph so quickly? Impossible, he didn't say anything, Hugo pretended to be calm and asked, "What's the matter, is there something wrong?" ”

Joseph thought about it for a while, but decided to tell the truth, "Uma also starred in this movie. ”

"Uh...... Uma Thurman (uma) thurman）？ Hugo's reply was cautious, because Joseph's attitude seemed to tell Hugo: something unpleasant seemed to have happened between him and Uma, could it be that they had worked together in a film before?

Uma Thurman has never been able to become a big hit in Hollywood, but her masterpiece has always been talked about, "Vulgar (pulp. fi)", "kill. Bill)", "The Avengers. avengers)" and so on, so that she has always had a place among Hollywood actresses, and her fatal charm with oriental mystical qualities, exudes a dazzling but dazzling appeal.

Of course, Uma is still just a fledgling rookie actress, and Hugo doesn't remember that his predecessor and Uma worked together in movies. But Joseph's expression clearly indicated: There is something greasy in this! So Hugo had to carefully weigh his tone, "I don't have a problem, I think it's all in the past." ”

Hugo thought about it for a moment and added, "Besides, it's just work, and you have to be professional, isn't it?" Paul's invitation came so hard that we couldn't afford to miss it. ”

Joseph took a serious look at Hugo's calm face to make sure that Hugo was not lying, and then nodded. Hugo couldn't help wiping a cold sweat in his heart, but after dealing with Joseph, what should he do when he actually meets Uma? Hugo really doesn't know what happened between them, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, and it is estimated that he can only see the tricks.

"Now that you've decided to attend the premiere, you'll have to buy two outfits." Although Joseph is nominally an agent, he is now almost wearing many hats, including Hugo's stylist and assistant, and other jobs must also be supervised by him, but fortunately, Joseph is currently only an artist in Hugo, so the work is not too heavy.

Hugo didn't react for a while, "Aren't there a lot of new clothes in the wardrobe?" Hugo thought about it carefully, "I guess I wore the same outfit for the Golden Raspberry Award last time." ”

As a result, as soon as these words came out, Joseph immediately looked at Hugo with a blank look, and Carl next to him cast his eyes like looking at an alien.

"Hugo, this is Hollywood." Joseph said simply, Hugo did not answer, and he vaguely realized that he had just made a common-sense mistake, and if he spoke again, he would probably reveal the fact that he knew very little about the Hollywood industry. "If you wear the same outfit to two different public occasions, you will probably be in the headlines tomorrow and say that you are down."

Hugo immediately understood, he had seen a lot of this when he used to watch the news. In Hollywood, Vanity Fair, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at you at every appearance, from hairstyle to clothing, from makeup to accessories, from female companions to partners, you will become the focus of flash scrutiny. Appearing in two different public places wearing the same set of clothes, or colliding with other artists, is a very terrible thing, especially for female artists, which is very demanding. Relatively speaking, the conditions for male artists have been relaxed a lot, but this principle will not change in essence. Not to mention that on a large occasion like the Oscars or premieres, every pore of an artist will be put under a microscope for observation.

It's no wonder that Hugo Oolong, when they were glorious to death in various small performances in the past, there were no stage costumes, all of them were their own private costumes, but they were dressed more grandly. Any set of clothes is worn and worn, and there is no such concept of Hollywood at all.

Judging from Hugo's current situation, the afterglow of the Golden Raspberry Award still exists, and "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" has not yet been released, and it is temporarily in a state of leisure...... This in itself is a myriad of handles waiting for reporters to pick on the thorns, and if Hugo is found wearing the Golden Raspberry Award outfit to attend the premiere of "Final Analysis", it is estimated that the people who watch the joke must be groups after groups.

Joseph looked at the ignorant Hugo, and hated that iron could not be made of steel, he said hello to Carl, and then left the company with Hugo, ready to go shopping.

"But, aren't we strapped for money right now?" Hugo now has no manufacturers willing to sponsor him, so any investment must be paid for by himself. Not long ago, Hugo checked his bank account, and there were less than 2,000 US dollars in it, which seemed like a lot, but it cost everything to eat, drink, and shelter, and Hugo had no job for a while, so he had to tighten his belt.

Joseph's concept of financial management is obviously clearer than Hugo's, "Don't worry, the salary of 'smelling a woman' will come in today." ”

"Really?" Hugo's eyes lit up immediately, this was his first income since he crossed over, and even the first official income since he ran away from home at the age of fifteen.

Hugo does not know much about the personal income tax that needs to be paid here in the United States, but according to his income level, he must pay 36% personal income tax, but this also has to go through the tax exemption and standard reduction plus progressive tax rate, and finally Hugo needs to pay personal income tax is almost 15%. After paying taxes, he also needs to pay 10% of the commission to Joseph and the brokerage company, and the final salary in Hugo's hands will be about 380,000 US dollars, and the specific figure needs to be calculated by Joseph to the accountant before it can be accurate.

Three hundred and eighty thousand dollars, which is too important for Hugo in distress.

"We need to make some soft investments, and buying clothes is just the first step." Joseph already knew the day when the salary would be paid, and he began to plan for Hugo's future life, "and then you need to find a new house." ”

"Are you moving?" Although the environment of Joseph's current residence is really bad, after all, this is the most familiar place after Hugo crossed over, so his first reaction is still a little reluctant.

Joseph chuckled, "Of course, you have to move, and I need to move too." "The current housing is only a stopgap measure, although they still do not have enough capital to buy a house or live in a high-end residence, but it is necessary to change to a safer and cleaner residence.

Hugo quickly figured this out, living in the current place is not a long-term solution, moving is inevitable, so he nodded and did not continue to dwell on this. But soon Hugo's cheerful mood calmed down, and the costumes of the early nineties? Men's clothing, in particular, seems to be far from the aesthetic of 2014, which ......

Buying clothes doesn't seem to be a pleasure, it's an ordeal.
