Chapter 1728 1728 Atmosphere Change
After hanging up the phone, Hugo just sat there, and the thick fatigue came. It was a good thing to come to Berlin. Even though there were differences within the band, it was just about professionalism and did not really make Hugo feel irritated. But now, just arrived in Berlin, his good mood was destroyed.
He rubbed his temples that were slightly painful, leaned against the head of the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and darkness came little by little, allowing him to relax slowly. That moment of tranquility gradually stretched out the tense muscles. After the chaotic brain reached its peak, only a blank space was left.
"Hugo, are you okay?" Leonardo's hesitant voice broke the silence, causing Hugo to open his eyes suddenly, and then he saw Leonardo standing at the door, and Charlize, who was two steps behind him. Charlize noticed that Hugo was resting just now, but now Hugo was awakened by Leonardo, and couldn't help but frown slightly, "Tell you, let Hugo rest well first."
Leonardo scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "I'm just worried."
Looking at Leonardo's face full of guilt, Hugo gently pulled the corner of his mouth, "Tomorrow's lunch is on your account."
"No problem!" Leonardo's chest was shaking, and hesitating for a moment, but before he could stretch it out, he hesitated, "It's not French cuisine, right?" Generally speaking, French cuisine is relatively expensive, especially near Potsdamer Platz.
Looking at Leonardo's worried expression, Hugo was still stunned. He turned to look at Charlize, and then found a smile in Charlize's eyes. His thoughts were immediately confirmed. Then he discovered the curve of Charlize's mouth slightly raised, and then the two of them couldn't help it at the same time, and burst out laughing.
Leonardo then laughed, and the whole atmosphere suddenly turned like spring breeze and snow. The heating in the hotel room seemed to have started to work at this time, and the air became warmer.
After laughing, Leonardo asked again worriedly, "Hugo, are you okay?" The words just now can be heard that Hugo and Cameron quarreled over this trip to Berlin. Leonardo also knew that he was the culprit, so he was still a little worried.
Hugo deliberately restrained his smile, looked at Leonardo with a depressed look on his face, patted his shoulder, and asked back, "What do you say?" Then he shook his head and walked outside with a sigh. Leonardo suddenly became panicked and looked at Charlize helplessly, but found that Charlize also shook his head, sighed, and walked out immediately after Hugo.
Leonardo was really panicked now. Thinking of the tense atmosphere just now, and thinking about the pressure Hugo had been under recently, he could no longer calm down and chased him out quickly, "Hugo, I..." But when he walked to the hall, he saw Hugo and Charlize sitting on the sofa, with smiles on his face, which made Leonardo confused, "What's going on?"
Leonardo's eyes turned back and forth between Hugo and Charlize, and found that the smiles at the corners of the two people actually extended to the eyes. The seriousness and caution just now disappeared. "You..." Before Leonardo could speak, Hugo and Charlize burst into laughter. This made Leonardo go over and kick Hugo in anger, but Hugo avoided it directly. He wanted to punch, but he remembered the quarrel between Hugo and Cameron just now. He could only give up and vent his depression on the sofa.
After being fussed like this, Hugo's last bit of depression disappeared. Hugo knew that there was a problem between him and Cameron, but that was a problem between lovers. It took them both to sit down and solve more and his efforts. Even if they told their friends, they had no choice.
"So, how do you feel about this Berlin Film Festival?" Hugo took the initiative to mention this matter. Leonardo and Charlize appeared on the stage of the International Film Festival for the first time. The level is very different, and it feels naturally different. Just like Hugo appeared at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time.
Charlize noticed Hugo's expression. She knew that Hugo didn't want to say more now, so she naturally wouldn't ask more questions, so she changed the topic according to Hugo's question. "Everything is fresh. I originally thought it was no different from the Golden Globes or the Oscars, but it turned out to be more like Sundance. That day, I met a girl on the street. She recognized me at a glance and discussed with me enthusiastically what she thought about the script "before sunrise", which scared me..."
"That's right, I actually met a movie fan on the road that day. She said she had seen the 'different sky'. Oh, God, my image inside is not very good." Under Charlize's guidance, Leonardo's box also opened, and a sentence and vivid expression immediately made Hugo laugh.
Most of the time, Hugo was a listener. He sat on the sofa and listened carefully, mainly Charlize and Leonardo spoke. From time to time, Charlize would ask about some interesting things about Hugo during the tour, and even deliberately used newspaper news to tease Hugo. The atmosphere slowly settled down, and even the cold night outside the window became softer.
"Knocking", knocking sounds came, and then the door of the room was pushed open. When Rick walked in, he saw Charlize standing in the center of the living room in a golden rooster, with long hair slightly messy, his cheeks slightly flushed, and he looked like a tomboy; while Leonardo was completely corpse on the sofa, smiling so hard that his saliva flowed down. He accidentally rolled directly from the sofa to the floor, had intimate contact with the carpet, making a muffled sound.
Rick's eyes were in contact with Hugo on the sofa. At this time, Hugo's face was filled with a big smile. The brightness from the heart was like the rising morning light, almost melting people. Rick raised his hands and expressed his surrender, "I won't ask what happened just now, but... I know you still have a lot to say, but for tomorrow's premiere, I think you should go and have a rest, not to mention that Hugo and I still have some things to discuss."
Leonardo quickly got up and patted his knees, but his arm accidentally hit the coffee table and wailed. Charlize immediately put his feet down, hurriedly sorted out his hair, then waved at Hugo, then lowered his head and walked out quickly. Leonardo also grinned his arms and followed closely. When he arrived at the door, he did not forget to add, "Hugo, I'll come over later." After that, he ran out.
Rick looked back at Leonardo's disappearing back, then looked at Hugo, with a questioning face. Hugo shrugged without explanation. In fact, Leonardo wanted to discuss the "Titanic" with Hugo. He had a lot of fantastic ideas recently during the shooting process and wanted to share it with Hugo. However, Rick didn't need to know this, so Hugo asked directly, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Rick walked to the sofa and said, "I know you're leaving tomorrow, and you'll also focus on the tour for some time. So, I want to briefly communicate with you tonight about your next shooting plan." Rick sat down and briefly took the situation over.
Hugo nodded slightly, saying that he would listen carefully. Now he and Rick have worked together for many years and gradually began to develop tacit understanding, so he was very relieved to hand over all the related matters to Rick.
"I want to know, do you have any special ideas about the next filming?" The development trend in the past six months has been without stopping, with waves one after another. To be precise, they have not carefully discussed the plans for the new work after the Oscars last year. So Rick still asked seriously.
"Uh..." Hugo also had to think about it carefully, "I have a new script idea," this was the idea that came into being after the last encounter with Ernst Lehman, "but I'm working on it, and it's still a long way from completion, so...yes, I don't have any plans."
"Script?" Rick raised his eyebrows. This was a very important thing. However, since Hugo did not intend to say more, Rick did not ask more. He just said "I understand." Next, he would keep in touch with Joseph, and then when he contacted major film companies, he could appropriately let the news. When Hugo completed the script, he might choose more investors and producers.
"This is my idea," Rick leaned forward slightly, with a serious look on his face, not at all because it was just a simple communication, not only because Hugo is his biggest customer at present, but also because he and Hugo are real good friends. "After the tour, I think you need to rest and adjust for a while, and then we slowly select the script. If there is a suitable one, take the film; if there is no, continue to take a vacation until you find the script that you have the urge to shoot."
As an agent, Rick gave almost all his power to Hugo, and this trust is difficult to calculate.
Hugo slightly pointed his chin and said he knew. Rick didn't plan to wait for Hugo to respond, and then continued to speak, "But I must say hello to you, Berlin will not be too calm this time."
Hugo was a little surprised, "I'm only here for one day?" The subtext was, "Will you not be calm for just one day?"
Rick nodded, and it was rare to see a little lust between his eyebrows, because he never showed any slight pride when he was at ease in front of those big guys. "Several big guys have come, but they haven't said it directly. I think they shouldn't miss the opportunity tomorrow. So, I think I need to say hello to you tonight."
