Objectively speaking, Charlize's black pepper roast turkey actually tastes very good, but it's too spicy and choking, resulting in poor sales and became the biggest highlight of Thanksgiving in 1992. Even Carl's amazing braised lamb chops were unable to steal Charlize's style.

On the second day of Thanksgiving, Alex came back first, Hugo and Charlize also ended the "two-man world" for three nights and returned to the balance of the three, which made both of them secretly relieved. Joseph waited until Saturday, and his tiredness was clearly written on his face, and his heavy dark circles made the ice-blue eyes lose their luster.

Although Hugo was also curious about what happened to Joseph at home and what the million dollar was for, he also knew that this was Joseph's family matter. If Joseph didn't want to say it, he would better not ask. It had nothing to do with the depth of friendship, even the best friends should be like this, because for everyone, the family is a special existence, and if he wants to tell you, he will not hide it; on the contrary, if he doesn't want to say it, even a confidant may not say a word. So Hugo didn't ask anything, but just asked Joseph if it went smoothly along the way, whether everything was fine, and that's all.

After Thanksgiving, December's footsteps came to you, and the release schedule of "Yihai Xiongfeng" immediately approached, and Hugo and Joseph also began to get busy again.

Unlike the "smelling fragrance to recognize women" that chooses to start the screening, "Yihai Xiongfeng" chose to be released on a large scale in 1,900 theaters, obviously just to make achievements in the box office. This is also the reason why he chose Tom Cruise at the beginning. Now that the male lead is replaced by Hugo, Columbia Pictures is naturally more nervous and cautious. Therefore, before the movie was released, it arranged a series of premiere publicity, and Hugo appeared on various programs with the heavy responsibility of the premiere box office, hoping to get a good start.

On Monday, Joseph drove Hugo to Burbank's studio again to participate in the recording of "Tonight Show".

After Hugo recorded the "Tonight Show", the ratings achieved very good results. The episode played at 1:35 in the night won 4.8 million viewers. It was not only the ratings champion in the same period, but also became the highest ratings episode in November. It can be seen that people are full of interest in Hugo's ups and downs in the actor career.

The car slowly drove into the parking lot, where Hugo's parking space was arranged specifically for the guest parking spaces during the program recording period, so Joseph parked the car without any effort. Just as Hugo untied his seat belt, Joseph spoke, "Hugo, I haven't returned to Houston this time."

Joseph hesitated for a long time, even after returning to Los Angeles this time, including before he spoke just now. He was not sure whether he should tell the truth to Hugo because it was his family matter. Joseph kept convinced himself that he and Hugo were just working partners, and there was no need to tell each other about personal matters at all. Hugo never mentioned anything at home, and he was the same. But in the end, Joseph failed.

When he suddenly asked to borrow money, Hugo nodded without hesitation; when he turned around and left rashly, Hugo did not ask about the reason, nor did he pursue it; when he delayed his return, Hugo not only did not worry that he had taken the money and ran away, nor did he ask about his family affairs, but gave himself enough trust... This is one million dollars, and Joseph knew that Hugo's trust was far deeper than one million.

So, Joseph spoke, even though he was still unwilling to talk more, but he knew that he should give Hugo an answer. After saying the first sentence, Joseph saw Hugo with a surprised look, "What should I do on Thanksgiving?" This was Hugo's first reaction. He did not ask why Joseph lied to go back to Houston, nor did he ask what to do about Joseph, but just cared about Thanksgiving.

Joseph smiled bitterly, "I went to Las Vegas." This is the casino, and the situation seems to have become clear. "Have I mentioned my brother Peter with you?" Hugo nodded in confusion and did not say anything. This made Joseph take a deep breath and finish the rest in one go. "He lost a lot of money in Las Vegas and was suppressed by the local forces. My father couldn't think of a way, so he called me."

Although Joseph only said one beginning and saw that the beginning again, Hugo could basically describe the story that followed. Gambling is like poison and addiction. Once it is infected, it is difficult to quit. In severe cases, it will also lead to the destruction of the family. Hugo didn't know what the Joseph family was like, but occasionally he heard Joseph mention that the family always had infinite attachment, so it was not surprising that Joseph asked Hugo for help for his brother.

Joseph delayed his return for two days after Thanksgiving. It seemed that Peter's matter was so tricky that it took Joseph more time to deal with it. Hugo thought in his mind, and then sighed softly. The bonds of family can make people happy, but they can also make people helpless. "Have the matter been resolved now?"

Joseph rubbed his temples and nodded, "Yeah, it's all solved."

"That's good." Hugo patted Joseph's shoulder and fell silent. He didn't know what to say, because this was the first time he and Joseph mentioned the private affairs at home. Although Joseph suggested that Hugo call the home, Joseph had never asked about the effect of the call. So today's conversation made Hugo a little unfamiliar. He didn't know whether he should express his concern like a good friend, or let this matter be solved by Joseph himself.

Hugo took a deep breath, "So, let's start preparing for today's work." Hugo guessed that Joseph should want to thank himself, but in fact, for Hugo, he didn't have much real sense. He was just a string of numbers in his bank account, and there was no string of numbers to keep warm, so this busyness was just a simple task.

Sure enough, Joseph stopped Hugo, "Hugo, thank you." Joseph expressed his true feelings again, not only thanking Hugo for his willingness to lend him this money, but also thanking Hugo for his trust in him, "I will find a way to return the money to you as soon as possible."

"Hey, man, don't deceive me." Hugo said with a smile, making Joseph stunned. "You know you can't return it to me 'as soon as possible'." With Joseph's agent's commission, it is indeed a very difficult task to raise one million in a short period of time. Hugo's frankness made Joseph laugh out loud, "So, you must work harder, and then pray that I can find more and better jobs, and maybe the progress will be much faster."

Joseph knew that Hugo was telling the truth and was comforting himself. Joseph let out a long sigh and nodded, "Then why are you still staying in the car? You can't be late for today's work! Work hard for me!" Joseph rarely cooperated with Hugo to make a joke, and while saying that, he pinched his fists, just like an evil capitalist who exploited workers' hard-earned money.

Hugo curled his smile, showed a trembling expression, and opened the car door in panic, "Yes, yes, sir, I'll go to work right away." After getting off the car, he stumbled towards the elevator, while Joseph followed quickly behind him, causing idle people passing by in the parking lot to look sideways.

Walking into the dressing room, many staff members walked up to say hello to Hugo. This was the treatment they didn't have when they came here last time. It can be seen that the excellent ratings of the show made the staff welcome Hugo's arrival. Even host Jay Renault ran over in person and gave Hugo a big hug. "I didn't expect to meet again so soon, so how are you doing today?"

Jay had not changed into a suit yet, but was wearing a simple shirt and holding a pack of potato chips in his hand. He looked like an uncle next door, but the uncle's chin was really eye-catching. Hugo said with a smile, "Very good, everything is good, especially when seeing this familiar chin, I immediately felt like I was going home."

Jie's chin is called jaw prosy, and it has become one of his symbols. "This is a heavy weapon and you must be treated with caution." As a comedian, Jie's self-deprecating level is admirable, and the dressing room suddenly burst into laughter. "How about it, are there any taboo topics in the promotion today?"

Jay's question made Hugo look at Joseph in surprise. He did not understand why Jay raised such a topic at this moment, because as far as Hugo knew, there are indeed some big-name celebrities in the entertainment industry who had banned chats when they were on the show, such as scandals, etc., but this situation is more common in Asia and is rare in the more open speech environment in Europe and the United States. Moreover, Hugo did not get any hints from Joseph.

After confirming that Joseph was also confused, Hugo looked at Jay with a smile, "I hope you don't mention the embarrassing thing about me going in the wrong direction when I went to the bathroom today. This will be a huge blow to my popularity among the women's group."

Hugo's solemn explanation made the makeup artist next to him unable to hold back, and burst out laughing, saliva sprayed on Jie's right arm, and the situation suddenly lost control. Jie squinted his eyes and said to the makeup artist, "I think you need to find some hot water to wash my shirt on the spot, otherwise I will have no clothes to be on the show." A joke resolved this embarrassment, and then Jie looked at Hugo and said, "That's good. Compared to some people who obviously like men, they must claim that they are a straight-sex person who is married normally, and they are not allowed to discuss on the show. This is too embarrassing. Especially when I see his lotus finger, it's hard to control my thoughts of asking questions. It's really torment."

Jie implicitly mocked who this person is, "Luckily, 'Yihai Xiongfeng' is your work." Jie added, and then said with a smile, "I have to go find an iron, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the live broadcast. See you later."
