"Hugo......" Joseph seemed to have countless words stuck in his throat, making his throat itch constantly, Hugo raised his eyes and looked over, as if asking "what" with his eyes, Joseph hesitated for a long time, still holding the pipa and half-covering his face and said, "Or, you apologize......" But after saying half a sentence, after all, he still lacked confidence, and swallowed all the words that followed.

Hugo didn't react at first, and wanted to say "who do you want to apologize to", but seeing the hesitation and hesitation in Joseph's eyes, he thought about it and understood. Joseph was talking about apologizing to Tracy.

This qiē thing is all behind Tracy, so if you apologize to Tracy, maybe the matter will be resolved. And the most important thing is that Hugo knows that his entanglement with Tracy is a "love" word in the final analysis, love can make a 'woman' sinking, and at the same time can make a 'woman' go crazy, if Hugo is willing to bow his head, maybe he can save Tracy. So don't talk about this incident, it is estimated that Hugo's career as an actor will become smooth. This is a social law, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, but it can make your life easier.

Hugo shook his head with a smile, "Joe, don't talk about it again, there's no way I'm going to do that." Joseph looked at the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, although it was only a shallow arc, but there was an unquestionable firmness in those eyes, so that all his justifications and doubts were shattered.

Hugo then said, "Do you remember? As I said, there are things that can be done, things that can't be done, and things that I don't bother to do. Tracy's business is what I don't bother to do," and remembering his entanglement with Tracy, he sighed, and then continued, "I'd rather open my future by my own strength than the favor of the powerful." ”

Joseph knew that this sentence was said by the writer Victor Hugo, and this was the second time he had heard Hugo mention it.

Joseph muttered, "I didn't say Tracy ...... again," but Hugo's gentle gaze saw him, and the second half of the sentence disappeared into his throat and fell silent.

Hugo stretched a big slump, stepped out of the 'bed', and stood by his window, the sun was shining in Los Angeles outside, and the brilliant sunlight broke through the shackles of the dark clouds, and put on a gorgeous glow for the city of angels, which was wonderful.

Joseph's gaze followed Hugo's movements, then he also stood up, walked to the window, and stopped, "So what now?" Joseph's inner calm irritability stirred up again, "I have tried my best......" This made Joseph a little frustrated, he tried his best but unfortunately could not break through the siege, this frustration is really terrible.

"Joe, why are you in such a hurry?" Hugo didn't look away, still looking out the window at the unreachable horizon, the blue 'color' sparkling in the sunlight, as if a pile of broken diamonds gathered together, which made Hugo's body that had been plagued by illness for a long time stretch out, dispelling the soreness and fatigue in his body little by little.

"You should know better than me that no actor can take one movie after another, and the break in between can be as short as a few weeks or as long as years, and there are many reasons for this, and you are worried about one of them, such as being outdated and no film company is willing to use it." Hugo's words made Joseph Yansù's face appear a little panicked, but it was immediately dispelled by Hugo's smile, "And only being willing to choose the right script is one of them." Because an excellent work can make an actor, and at the same time, a bad work can also ruin an actor. Both of us know this very well, right? ”

Hugo's ridicule made Joseph can't help but 'show' a wry smile.

"Actually, our current situation is just back to square one, and there is nothing to worry about. At least, this time there is no distraction of the Golden Raspberry Awards, but there are double nominations for the Golden Globes, and maybe an Oscar nomination. Hugo said with a smile, the decadent "color" between his eyebrows gradually disappeared in the sunlight, and the familiar sunshine gathered again.

Joseph looked at Hugo's bright smile and shook his head awkwardly, which made Hugo stunned, and then Joseph spoke, "There are no Oscar nominations." The list of nominees for the 65th Oscars officially announced two days ago, Hugo was all defeated, and the leading actor of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and the supporting actor of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'" were both defeated, which also became a hot topic of discussion on the day.

Hugo, who was only successful because of the double nomination of the Golden Globe Awards not long ago, is really not enough in the eyes of the Oscar Academy judges, whether it is because the impact of the Golden Raspberry Award on the members of the Academy still exists, or because of the negative impact of the recent boiling big names Suspicion Cloud Guide, or because Hugo's performance is really not enough to qualify for an Oscar nomination, but this is the result. Hugo was not able to get the first Oscar nomination of his career as an actor.

Hugo only paused, then laughed, "But no matter what, my acting talent is recognized, isn't it?" Unlike last year, when people didn't think I had acting skills, it was too much trouble to prove it. Hugo also wiped the sweat from his forehead, which made Joseph purse his lips helplessly.

Hugo didn't continue to speak, but fell silent, Joseph thought that Hugo still minded the Oscar nomination, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't say "there will always be nominations in the future", this feels weird, if "the future will always get a little gold man" is a little more reliable, just a nomination, there is really no need to make a fuss.

"Joe, you know what? In fact, I think that this big name statement is reasonable. Hugo's words surprised Joseph, "Why?" Joseph couldn't understand it at all, he felt that those statements were ridiculous, as Hugo's closest partner at work, Joseph knew very well whether Hugo was playing a big name or not, so he scoffed at the newspapers and magazines, but he didn't expect Hugo to say that.

Hugo interrupted Joseph's questioning and continued, "I do think I'm getting a little carried away. Hugo thinks back to the bits and pieces of the past few months, since the success of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'", his popularity has been rising, the smooth sailing of career and love has made him a little fluttery, the advantages of crossing people can make him invincible, such ideas quietly began to take root in his thoughts, even if he himself did not perceive it, or even think so, but his actions still came out.

"Hearing the shouts of those fans, I almost thought I was going to be God; Listening to the praise of those media, I also thought that I was an absolute genius. With a mocking smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, he whispered, seeing that Joseph seemed to want to refute himself, Hugo shook his head, "I'm serious, I really used to think that I was at the top, everything just needs to beckon, I squandered all that easy money, I even vacationed in Malibu for three weeks, I don't have much money left in my bank account now, right?" ”

Joseph had nothing to say, he just opened his mouth and muttered, "There are more than 600,000 more." ”

Hugo looked stunned, then sneered, "I thought there were at least a million." "No wonder it is said that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, he didn't realize that he had 'spent' so much money at all, and now that he recalls it carefully, he can't remember where he 'spent' the money.

Joseph looked up at Hugo, "I owe you a million." ”

Hugo smiled, "I remember, maybe this will become a life-saving capital in the future." This relaxed tone made Joseph look helpless, "I mean, I wouldn't have squandered so freely before, and even if I had to squande, I had to have a plan. ”

Joseph originally wanted to say that Malibu was all because of Uma, but then he thought that Hugo had just broken up with Uma, so it was not good to continue to rub salt on Hugo's wounds, so he shut up again.

"Not only that, but I was really slack off on the original book of 'Sugar-Coated Trap', and I was not as serious as I was when I fought for the script of 'Yihai Xiongfeng' before, and I didn't work hard enough for the audition of 'Sleepless in Seattle'...... It's not about specific efforts, the most important thing is my attitude, my attitude has become lax, thinking that with two excellent performances of movies can win everyone's recognition, so I relaxed. And after going to Malibu for a vacation, I became impatient because I didn't have a script to go to the 'door', and I wasn't impatient for more than half a year after the end of 'Yihai Xiongfeng', but now I'm anxious, mainly because I've become arrogant, and I think there should be a script to take the initiative to find the 'door'. ”

Hugo said a little 'confused' and 'chaotic', and it sounded like there was no discipline, but Hugo knew what he was talking about, and he had never discovered his inner impetuousness before that, because he took it for granted. The support of the fans is so, the favor of the film company is so, and quietly he has begun to enjoy those flashy compliments, thus 'lost' himself.

"This ...... It's self-confidence! Joseph was dumbfounded by what Hugo said, he didn't realize that Hugo had been thinking so much during this time.

"There is really only a thin line between self-confidence and arrogance." Hugo chuckled, "Joe, don't you notice the change in me, and your own?" Hugo actually led the words to Joseph again, which made him stunned directly. After talking to Ernst last time, I understood that the accusations of the media should be treated with 'sex' reason, but I ignored that their praise should also be taken away from the rhetoric. Perhaps, I'm not that good; Perhaps, I am not a genius; Perhaps, I need to work harder; Perhaps, I am still far from real success......"

At this, Hugo paused and a smile bloomed, "And, I'm pretty sure I'm not God." "After 'getting lost' in fresh 'flowers' and applause, Hugo once really regarded himself as a god in his heart, and now, when he woke up from his dream, his reason returned." So, maybe this incident is a good wake-up call, at least it can make me see the position clearly, don't be too ambitious, or start with yourself, that's the most important thing. ”

In the entertainment industry, Hugo is just a rookie, he has too much to learn, and maintaining a correct attitude and not 'lost' himself is a must-have attitude. Fortunately, this incident happened before Hugo really became arrogant, really started to play big cards, really started to look at no one, and really thought that he was God, and it was still too late.

"We're already standing here, how much worse could it be? How about it, are you interested in trying to see it again with me? ”

Joseph looked up and saw the bright smile on Hugo's lips, and even the sunlight outside the window was eclipsed.
