Hugo and Samora returned to the party scene. As soon as they showed up, they saw Roland Emmerich coming towards him. "Hey, you're here." Samora gave Hugo a look, then turned around and left with a plate, leaving the social space for Hugo. Roland walked over quickly. Although there was no smile on his face, he could clearly feel that he was feeling very relaxed. "Several people were asking where the protagonist today was going, and you must come and meet this person..."

Hugo and Roland walked side by side, and along the way, there were people nodding and greeting Hugo, and even reporters asked to take a photo with Hugo. The scene didn't look like a start-up ceremony at all, but more like a celebration party. Hugo had no time to talk to Roland in detail, and spent most of his time dealing with enthusiastic and proactive friends.

After a distance of less than fifty yards, the two of them walked and stopped for nearly twenty minutes before they arrived. Before Hugo could ask who Roland had to introduce him to him, he saw Kevin Pence standing not far away. Today, as the host, Kevin seemed very relaxed, especially defeating Columbia Pictures. He signed with Hugo at the last moment, and even caught Mark Canton off guard.

Kevin was surrounded by stars. Representatives of the film company, editors of the news media, and senior executives of the agency were surrounded by him. Hugo thought that Kevin wanted to introduce the senior executives of other companies to him. The polite smile on his face had just been outlined when he saw a tall figure as tall as pine and cypress walking towards Kevin. His steps were suddenly towards Hugo, and Roland also took the initiative to win.

Who is this?

Hugo only felt his head full of question marks. The man in front of him looked a little familiar, but his mind was blank at this moment. The unfamiliar impression could not arouse any association at all.

The other party should have been from the upper class who had received higher education. He had a light and warm smile on his face and some kindness in the sunlight, but he kept a polite combed in his eyes, which made people feel close but not too intimate. Paired with that black plum coat, the ivory white shirt was not paired with a tie or bow tie, but just buttoned each button regularly, and a little slim outlined in the neat and neat style. His light golden curly hair was neatly combed into two-eight equal parts, and his burly figure and broad shoulders were a bit cold in winter, which outlined a tough temperament under the reflection of the rising sun.

Hugo always feels that he should have met the other party. Although he has many friends and has participated in many upper-class parties now, more of Hugo's friends cannot be considered real rich people. Those upper-class people with rich family backgrounds still have relatively few intersections with the entertainment industry. So if Hugo really meets each other, he will definitely leave an impression, and this is the case with the man in front of him.

"I'm glad to see you again, Mr. Lancaster." The man stretched out his right hand gracefully, and his kind smile softened the slightly awkward atmosphere a lot.

Hugo was stunned for a moment. His mind really couldn't awaken any memories, but he was already very skilled in dealing with these occasions and quietly expressed his etiquette, "A wonderful morning, thank you for your personal arrival today. I'm very happy to see you."

But the other party was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled. The corner of his mouth that had completely bloomed made Hugo even more confused. Roland, who was standing beside him, wanted to introduce him, but the other party raised his hand to stop Roland, raised his head and said actively, "This is the second time we met. Last time we were on the crew of 'Love is the only'. I met once when Kevin and I visited. I am very happy to see you again, Mr. Lancaster, I am Allen Strello."

The smile on Allen's face was filled with understanding. Obviously, it was no secret that Hugo could not remember his name, and he had heard of it a little.

Hugo couldn't help but smile awkwardly, holding Alan's right hand and swaying up and down gently, frowned in annoyance, "Although my friends all said I should go to the doctor's treatment, I always insisted that I was not sick. What happened today proves that maybe the patients with neurotics are so persistent."

Hugo's calmness and sincerity made Allen chuckle directly, and Roland, who was standing beside him, also laughed, "When Allen arrived at the scene just now, I heard that when he mentioned it, he had not officially met you after our project was confirmed. This is not good news. As the behind-the-scenes investor of our crew, if we didn't see the male lead, Allen's check might not be cashed." Originally, Roland wanted to have a little humor, but his words did not go much further and he said it, and it was boring and had no humorous effect at all.

"No, of course not. After coming to Hollywood, I heard a lot of rumors about Hugo. I knew he was a dedicated actor, so when I wanted to invest in a movie, he was my absolute first choice. Even if Hugo didn't come to visit me, I would take the initiative to find it." Allen's words were very decent, easy to advance and retreat, humble and polite, and a little ridiculous.

Although they are both Germans, Allen and Roland are obviously in two styles. Obviously, as a businessman, Allen is much more comfortable dealing with such occasions.

Hugo's mind was stormy at this moment. He only now knew that Allen was the behind-the-scenes investor of "Independence Day", that is, the decision-making man with a pay of 20 million yuan. Hugo didn't know why Rick didn't mention this to him, but Hugo understood in an instant that at that time, "Love is the only" crew visited the set, and Kevin and Allen were not going to find Edward at all, but went to spy on his reality.

"Wow, I hope I'm worthy of that check, otherwise my losses will be heavy." Hugo's mind was full of thoughts, but there was no pause in his mouth and he replied with a smile.

Alan still held Hugo's right hand and tried a little harder, "Then let's look forward to the return on this investment."

"Hey, Hugo, you're here." Rick's voice came from behind. He saw the others standing beside him, greeted him one by one, and said, "I originally wanted to say that you have never met a young actor until now, so I asked you to meet him, but now it seems that we should clearly distinguish the order." Rick's tone was relaxed and lively, and the subtext was to joke that the investors behind the scenes were more important.

Allen immediately reacted and let go of Hugo's right hand, "No, work is important, Hugo has not met the young actor yet, which is of course the first priority. If Hugo is not satisfied, we can change the actors again. We all hope this is an excellent work, right?" The bright smile on Allen's face was as dazzling as the sun, "As for us, we can chat slowly in the future. This is a long shooting process, isn't it?"

"As far as I know, our crew is blocked, but do you have any exceptions, I will leave this question to Roland for answering, so, I think you can have a good talk." Hugo also answered with a joke, which made everyone laugh. Then Hugo turned and left with Rick. Hugo lowered his voice and said to Rick, "Why didn't you tell me that Allen is the investor behind the scenes?"

"I asked you last time, don't you know him?" Rick also frowned slightly. He turned his head and saw Alan and Roland who were still standing there. Their eyes still fell on Hugo. Rick patted Hugo. The two of them turned around and greeted him at the same time. Alan also raised the champagne in his hand and signaled.

Turning his head, Hugo pursed his lips speechlessly, "My fault. Allen is the person who appeared with Kevin on the crew of 'Love Is Only' last time." There is no need to say more, Hugo and Rick exchanged sight. Rick always felt that this "Independence Day" cooperation still lacked a puzzle. The whole puzzle has basically been completed, but the last piece is missing. Rick is not sure whether this piece is a corner or a center.

While talking, Rick took Hugo to stop. Carl Earl was talking to Tom Hanks at this time, and the expressions of both of them seemed very relaxed. Rick stood on tiptoe and tried to shorten the height difference between him and Hugo, and then whispered in Hugo's ear, "That's the child actor we chose last."

Hugo looked at Rick's gaze, and a little friend stood beside Tom, standing obediently without too many small movements. His eyes were not big, but they were bright light, and they looked around carefully, like a clever little squirrel.

"Tom's son?" Hugo raised his eyebrows in surprise. He remembered that Tom should have four children. The oldest was Colin Hanks, who was born to Tom and his ex-wife, who will become an actor in the future, but his age is not suitable. He is already eighteen years old this year. Tom and Rita Wilson have three children, the oldest is a daughter, Elizabeth; the second child, Chester Marlon, was born in 1990, and is five years old this year; the third child was born at the end of October last year, and Hugo also participated in his baby shower.

Chester is suitable by age, but if Tom intends to let his son play "Independence Day", he doesn't need an audition at all. He mentions Rick and Kevin that the so-called audition is not necessary at all. Hugo is a little confused.

Rick was stunned, then realized what Hugo meant, and shook his head with a smile, "No, Tom did not intend to let his children enter the entertainment industry, at least not a child star." As for the child growing up, Tom opened up his choice and let the children decide for themselves, "That child was elected, he had worked with Tom once..."

Hearing this, Hugo's eyes lit up. He remembered the corresponding candidate. Rick knew that Hugo would definitely not remember the name, so he clicked his chin and said it instead of Hugo, "That's right, it's the little guy you thought about who played Tom's son in 'Forrest Gump'."
