Chapter 1327: 1327 Coincidence on the set

I don’t know if it was because Hugo was aside, Cameron seemed a little too excited, and his performance was a little unstable. He completed a scene without any flaws in one go, but he made low-level mistakes repeatedly in one scene. It can be felt that Cameron’s entire rhythm was a beat faster than usual, so that all the rhythms were a little chaotic.

Hugo had never watched Cameron's live work before, but he was an excellent actor, so he also felt his influence on Cameron, so he took advantage of the break and said hello to Cameron and decided to go to the side to rest so that Cameron could work with peace of mind.

Cameron didn't realize it at all. She just felt that Hugo was about to disappear from sight again. She couldn't help but feel a little depressed and kicked the small stone on the ground in annoyance. This action made Hugo laugh.

Hugo only met Edward Burns at this time. The two had a conversation at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year. When we met again, the atmosphere was also very relaxed. After a simple and polite manner, Hugo turned around and left and returned the work space to the crew.

When Hugo turned around, he saw Kevin Pence walking towards him, the new CEO of 20th Century Fox. There was a tall man walking side by side next to Kevin.

Hugo was very surprised to see Kevin here. "Love is the only one" is a work invested by 20th Century Fox, but it is a complete low-cost production. As the top leader of the entire company, Kevin appeared at the scene of such a work, which is obviously unreasonable.

However, if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be so surprised. When Twentieth Century Fox was preparing to invest in "Far Away from Casino", Hugo actually learned from Rick that Kevin had a more ambitious plan for the company after taking office, and obviously hoped to capture the box office and awards together. Edward Burns won the grand prize at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, and was obviously a highly favored independent filmmaker.

Moreover, Hugo was just here to visit the set today, and Kevin's appearance here has nothing to do with him. Why should he guess so many things?

Kevin saw Hugo in front of him, and looked very surprised, with a surprised expression on his face, "Hey, look at who this is, this is really an unexpected surprise."

Hugo's footsteps also paused, and a sociable smile appeared on his face, "I didn't expect to meet again here, sir." Although Hugo recognized the other party as the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, he still couldn't remember the other party's name and had no impression at all.

Kevin seemed to notice Hugo's embarrassment and laughed, "Kevin." Then he saw the embarrassment flashing in Hugo's eyes. "Everyone in the circle knows that Hugo is not very good at remembering names, but this is indeed a difficult thing, isn't it? We have to see so many people every day."

Feeling kindness from Kevin's teasing, Hugo held the other party's hand and said awkwardly, "Please forgive my rudeness." Usually, with Samora or Joseph next to him and their reminder, Hugo would not be too rude on important occasions, but today was obviously an unexpected situation.

But Kevin waved his hand indifferently, then looked at the tall man beside him, and took the initiative to introduce him, "Hugo, let me introduce you. This is Alan Strelow, and I am my good friend."

Good friend? Hugo noticed Kevin's words, and not many people could be called this by the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

Hugo followed Kevin's introduction and then he really noticed the person next to him. Because of Kevin's special words, Hugo looked at the other party a little more in secret.

He looked about six feet tall, probably a little taller than Hugo. His deep facial features were mixed with the tough lines unique to Western Europeans, mixed with a little bright softness. His blue eyes were clear and glittering under the slightly curly light golden hair. Even under the slightly gray sky, there was still a thrilling and translucent. He had wide shoulders, bee waist and long legs, and a dark blue over-the-knee windbreaker. His whole person was tall and handsome.

Hugo has no impression of this name, nor has he special impression of his appearance. It seems that he is not an actor or director or at least not a famous level. Strallo, judging from his surname, he should be a German, at least of whom he has German ancestry.

Sure enough, "Mr. Lancaster, I was deeply impressed by your performance on the 'Schindler's List'." Allen took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, a bright smile appeared on his face, and the slightly tough face lines soothed in an instant.

"Hope is the kind of positive one." Hugo's answer made Allen chuckle, and his whole body exuded a light breath. Hugo knew that Kevin came to the crew "Love is the only one" and must have special plans, so he didn't plan to continue greeting him, and said directly, "You are obviously not here for me, so I won't disturb your business."

Looking at Hugo who was about to leave immediately, Kevin continued, "Edward is working, I don't think he wants us to interrupt his work like this." This forced Hugo to continue to stay where he was, "You are here today to..."

Kevin asked in confusion, but he walked through Hugo's shoulder and saw Cameron who was working, so he suddenly realized, "From my memory, I asked a stupid question, sorry." This made Hugo and Allen chuckled.

"It seems that Mr. Lancaster is really considerate to his girlfriend. With such a boyfriend, Miss Diaz will probably attract a lot of jealousy." Alan stood aside, looked at Hugo sincerely, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Hugo, please call me Hugo." Hugo's cheeks were a little hot, and he said with a low smile, "I just came to visit the set. I don't remember any earth-shaking thing."

"Many times, small things are worth remembering." Allen said meaningfully.

Kevin did not continue on this topic, and then said, "So, are you here to visit Cameron this time? Or are there any other jobs?"

"No, I'm still in the rest stage." Hugo couldn't help but look at Kevin more. In fact, Kevin spoke very casually, just like chatting, but Hugo felt a little strange, although he couldn't tell why.

"Rest..." Kevin sighed with a long tail tone, and Allen, who was standing next to him, asked directly, "Is it because of the shooting of "Death-infernal Walking" not long ago?" His eyes were full of curiosity.

Such a straightforward question made Kevin's expression stiffen. He glared at Allen awkwardly, and then looked at Hugo. Obviously, this question is still a taboo at the moment. Kevin was blaming Allen for his misogyny. However, Hugo didn't care and nodded with a smile, "Yes, not. I think I just need a while to take a break. After all, work is not the whole of life, isn't it?"

"That's right." Kevin immediately took over Hugo's words to prevent Allen from continuing to discuss on this topic. "But this break, many people will probably be disappointed. Everyone is looking forward to your next move."

Hugo laughed out loud, "Then this is a good thing for 'Death-infernal Walking', the movie is about to be released, isn't it?"

"So, have you fully recovered now?" Allen seized the gap again and asked anxiously. This was obviously inappropriate, no matter on any occasion, let alone today was just the occasion when they first met.

Hugo raised his head to look at Allen in surprise. Hugo looked at Allen's blue eyes seriously, trying to tell whether Allen asked whether it was good intentions or malicious. He was a little confused in his tone, but Hugo's gaze made Allen stunned. Then he looked away awkwardly, his cheeks seemed to be slightly red, and he coughed twice, and said in a panic, "No, I mean, I hope you have recovered. For many people, they care about your current situation."

"This is my honor." Hugo said politely, but did not answer Allen's question just now.

Kevin's smile on his face was a little strange, a little stiff but a little entangled, making people unable to tell his true emotions. However, he was the helm of Twentieth Century Fox after all, so he quickly sorted out his emotions and took over the conversation again, "So, are you still going to continue to rest next? Are you not planning to take on a new job for the time being?"

This is the second time Kevin has brought the topic to Hugo's work. Although Kevin's tone is just like ordinary chatting, Hugo can't help but look at him more, "Hollywood work is updated every day, and this situation will not change because of an actor, right?"

Hugo looked around and said perfunctorily, and Kevin seemed to notice that Hugo did not answer his question directly, but he didn't care, but continued to speak, "The box office of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' has surprised many people recently."

"Believe me, so do I." Hugo raised his hands with a smile, and this action made Kevin and Allen laugh. Recently, almost everyone who met Hugo inevitably mentioned the "Seven Deadly Sins", and Hugo has long been used to it.

"Now everyone is discussing that you seem to be competent for movies of any subject. Our company often sighs when meetings, and it is completely involuntarily." Kevin said without any evasion, and he still said casually in a relaxed and casual manner.

Hugo smiled and shook his head, "Believe me, at least I don't dare to challenge horror movies." This sentence made Allen clap his hands and laugh.

Although the surface was not obvious, Hugo noticed that the crew work should have come to a conclusion for the time being, but Kevin still had no intention of leaving and was still standing here and chatting with him. Hugo seemed to have captured some details in his mind. Is this really an accidental encounter?
