Superstar

At this time, the coffee table in the lobby was filled with three large plates of fried chicken and two boxes of pizza. On the floor next to it, there were two bottles of Coke and three dozen beers. Five young people were sitting around the coffee table, enjoying their dinner. The first official celebration dinner after the move, and also the important task of congratulating Hugo on his second role since 1992.

"Didn’t you still have a shared roommate upstairs? Why don’t you call it down together..." Hugo looked at the lively scene in the house, and realized that the fourth floor is also a three-bedroom and two-living room structure. Before Joseph and Carl moved in, they also Someone already occupies a room.

Carl shook his head, "He's not here. He has only met once in the past two days after moving here. Most of the time he is not at home. He seems to be a student of music, but I don't know if it is the Musicians Institute or the Los Angeles Institute of Music. University of California, Los Angeles (University. Of. California. Los. Angeles).” When I first came into contact, I felt that Karl was a bit more rigid, otherwise he would not be abandoned by the previous two actors and become a polished commander, but Later, I learned that Carl is actually very sociable, and his personality is a bit more lively than Joseph, but he takes his work more seriously and is prone to stubbornness. After getting along these two days, Carl talked a lot, but became acquainted with Hugo.

"Music?" Hugo raised his eyebrows and looked at Alex, "Aren't you from a music background?" As he said, he looked at the dilapidated piano. .

Alex immediately understood Hugo’s ridicule, holding the chicken leg and waved his hand again and again, "That was left by my previous roommate. He said that some of the keys were broken, and they couldn’t be played anyway, so there was no need to take them away. . I kept putting it there, so I didn’t lose it.” After Alex finished speaking, watching Hugo suddenly remembered his creation the night before, “It’s more like you are playing music. If you want to use it, welcome any time."

　　 As soon as Alex said these words, both Carl and Charlize became interested. In fact, there has always been no shortage of versatile people in the entertainment industry, but there are not many who are truly talented in every skill. Hugo has a good potential in acting. This has violated the "Handsome Guys Law", so do you still have Music talent?

It was Hugo's turn to wave his hands, "No, I don't know how to play the piano." But he forgot that he was holding a pizza, and accidentally swayed all the fillings on the pizza and fell on his jeans. It even spilled out, causing Joseph and Alex on both sides to jump up immediately.

Hugo hurriedly tried to pick up the stuffing, but Charlize immediately stopped it loudly, "Hugo, your hands are so greasy, don't wipe them all over, use facial tissues!" This is stern. The voice shocked the four big men. Charlize also realized that she seemed to be a little allergic. She quickly saluted, "Sorry, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder."

Seeing Charlize's serious and nervous appearance, Hugo immediately chuckled shyly, took the toilet paper that Charlize handed, picked up all the fillings that were scattered around, and threw it into the trash can. He casually said, "Are you sure it's not cleanliness?"

"Oh, no, no, it's not that exaggerated." After seeing that everything was neat and tidy, Charlize returned to the previous state and found that the four boys were all focusing on him. Charlize quickly changed the subject, "Hugo , You said you can't play the piano? Really?"

Hugo saw the deliberate urgency in Charlize's eyes, as if he was very interested in this topic. Hugo knew that Charlize wanted to change the subject. He chuckled lightly, but didn't pierce Charlize. Just said, "I can play, but I play very badly, so I would rather say that I can't play, so as not to be embarrassed."

　　 "What if you are embarrassed, handsome guy playing the piano, this is the picture that countless people dream of." Charlize sighed in relief and continued with the topic with a smile.

　　 Hugo showed a surprised expression, "Don't you still sit with a fairy tale dream of a princess and prince? This is too vulgar."

"So what, I'm a woman, you're a man, don't you know that the brains of men and women are different?" Charlize did not refute but did not admit it, just crumpled the tissue in his hand. The group smashed directly at Hugo, but unfortunately the paper group was too light, and crashed when it flew halfway.

Carl, who was sitting next to him, saw that Hugo and Charlize really seemed to have a quarrel, and he quickly changed the subject, "Joseph, when will the new Hugo movie start?" This is an important reason for the dinner tonight. One: Hugo is paying the bill.

"The shooting was started in Burbank. I received news today that next week. But Hugo has to try it out. It might be delayed for a day or two." Joseph was also thinking about this. It happened, so I didn’t froze, so I just said, “Yes, I’m going to sign the contract tomorrow, and I’ll meet Rob, Jack, and Demi afterwards. I guess I’m going to practice the script.”

　　 "So fast?" It was Alex who spoke.

"It's not fast. I've only confirmed the actor now. The progress has been delayed." Joseph has a lot of work at the company today. "Jack has a work contract on hand, it's Danny DeVito (Danny DeVito). ) I acted as the director of a film called Hoffa, so it is estimated that the shooting progress will be relatively fast."

"The Danny DeVito who'flew over the lunatic asylum' and the mother-daughter love?" Karl was a little surprised, Joseph nodded, "When did he start to be a director?" Danny DeVito is a man A well-known actor, he can be seen in many classic works, but he did not expect to start concurrently as a director.

　　 Joseph shrugged, "'War. Of. The. Roses' is his director's work."

This time it was Carl’s turn to surprise. "Wrong Enemy" was shortlisted for the 47th Golden Globe Awards for Best Musical Comedy Film, starring Michael Douglas, and was also widely acclaimed at the Berlin Film Festival that year. "I'm reviewing." Carl said obediently at once. As an agent, he shouldn't miss such important information.

"Look, I've said that Hugo will definitely get this job, yes, yes!" Alex said excitedly, amused Carl's frustrated expression again, "Right, rain Guo, how much do you pay for the work this time?"

"How much does Vanity Fair pay for this information? Don't sell it if you don't have five thousand dollars." Hugo laughed and teased Alex. It is estimated that tomorrow Hugo will defeat Tom and become the actor of "Yihai Xiongfeng". It will be on the front page of major newspapers, and Hugo's pay will definitely become the focus of attention. After all, this time is not a supporting role for "Scent of a Woman", and the protagonist's pay is naturally not trivial.

　　 It is a pity that Hugo doesn't know how much the pay is, because he knows that he is not qualified to be picky now, so he has the full authority to deal with it. So Hugo also looked at Joseph, and saw Joseph raised his thumb, index finger, and middle finger, and then said with a little regret, "But they are still unwilling to give in and refuse to pay you dividends."

This means that Hugo’s appearance in "Yihai Xiongfeng" will earn three million dollars in remuneration, once again returning to the level of the "Hudson Eagle" period, mainly because Hugo is too much cheaper than Tom. , So Columbia Pictures is not too harsh. Only in terms of box office dividends, Hugo currently has no box office appeal. Columbia Pictures are naturally unwilling to let Hugo bear box office risks through dividends, and even more unwilling to distribute the profits it receives to Hugo.

"Wow." Alex's sigh basically represents the inner feelings of Carl and Charlize at this moment. In fact, Hugo is also amazed in his heart. Not long ago, when he "smelt the fragrance and know a woman", he even got fifty. I was surprised by the ten-thousand-dollar salary, and now I got three million dollars in income immediately when I stepped into the protagonist's position. This is truly amazing.

　　 "Don't think too much, the progress always comes step by step." Hugo patted Joseph on the shoulder contentedly, indicating that he should not pay too much attention to the payment. "You know, I am still the worst actor in the Golden Raspberry Award, and I actually got a job offer again. This is the most important thing. I can imagine that Tom and Brad's faces at the moment are definitely not good."

　　 Joseph soon understood that he was too greedy. So he also smiled, "How does it feel to beat the opponent head-on to get the role?"

Hugo pushed the pizza in his hand into his mouth, chewed hard, then raised his hands like a bodybuilder, showing his biceps, "Please call me Popeye. The. Sailor!" After speaking, Hugo jumped up cooperatively, and took a step forward following the posture of Popeye.

　　 This antics suddenly made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere was so unharmonious.

After dinner, drinks and beer, it was eleven o’clock. Joseph and Carl went upstairs. Alex went to take a bath first. Only Hugo and Charlize were left in the hall to clean up the mess. .

Hugo packed up the pizza boxes one by one, but noticed that the mushrooms in the box in front of Charlize were slowing down. It is estimated that Charlize did not eat mushrooms, but unexpectedly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com ate all the pizzas. , This is different from most girls, which made Hugo couldn't help laughing.

　　 "What are you laughing at?" Charlize noticed Hugo's expression and asked.

　　 Hugo shook his head, "No." There was still a smile on his face, "Does it really matter if you live here?" Hugo hesitated, and finally asked the hesitation in his heart.

"Hehe, you are not a virus. What does it matter?" Charlize stopped his movements and glanced at Hugo. The eyes of the two people met in the air. This time, no one dodges or embarrassment. Looking at each other quietly, Charlize went on to say, "If you are worried about that night, don't worry, it's all over. I think we are still good friends. You see, isn't we getting along very well? Others say that there is no pure friendship between men and women, what do you think?"

　　 Hearing what Charlize said, Hugo felt a little bit lost in his heart, but he quickly recovered, and smiled and said, "I don't think so, at least that night was not pure friendship."

This made Charlize laughed generously and nodded in agreement, "But maybe it was that night that proved that we are the most suitable friends. Therefore, with such an episode, we Maybe there can be pure friendship between?"

Hugo tilted his head and thought for a while, then raised the corners of his mouth, gave Charlize a light punch on the shoulder, and said in the tone of a street black man, "Yo, buddy." After speaking, he pulled his pants. , Wanted to show a casual look, but it didn't look like it at all, so he teased Charlize and turned it over, almost overturning the pizza box in his hand.
