It was a very pleasant dinner. Although Hugo and Nora were talking most of the time, Rob and Joseph were not idle. They would interject from time to time to make the atmosphere of the dinner relaxed and comfortable. After the dinner was used up, Nora even ordered dessert and the meal ended until half past ten.

After Hugo got into Renault's spacious and comfortable passenger seat, Joseph drove the car out of the parking lot and drove back towards home. After changing the van, the good car was obviously more stable and comfortable, and Joseph obviously couldn't put it down. He had to drive it all the way almost every day, even if Hugo had no itinerary in the past two days.

But today Joseph didn't have the heart to enjoy the pleasure of driving. His tense mood could finally be relieved. "Wow, Hugo, you know, you are really taking risks today. Any mistake may ruin the atmosphere of the dinner, and Rob will probably be very embarrassed."

Hugo also felt infinite mental fatigue. In fact, in the first half of dinner tonight, Hugo was always in a high alert state because he had to integrate into one character, as if he was acting all the time. This made Hugo experience the difficulty of the spies, and his life was spent every minute and every second in another identity. What kind of torment is this?

Of course, this whole performance is another test for Hugo, because he must think about how a widower like Sam will deal with these situations that do not exist in the script. This is not only a further understanding of the character, but also a deep analysis of the character after leaving the script; it is also a higher level test for Hugo to hypnotize himself and enter the acting state. Although the whole process is still a bit flawed, Hugo has been out of the play several times and returns to the state of "Hugo-Lancaster", but overall it is still very good.

This is also the reason why Hugo is mentally exhausted. Such a conversation is really hard.

"If you don't try this way, you will see it. Without the beginning, it will be over." Hugo leaned on the back of the chair, feeling the softness of the leather wrapped in a sponge, relaxing his body and relaxing his spirit. "Every script and every character, they have countless choices. There are 100,000 actors in Hollywood, and no one is irreplaceable."

This is the current situation in Hollywood, and it is also the current situation of the entire society. No one is irreplaceable. You must rely on your own efforts to win your own position, otherwise life will soon overwhelm you. Unless you are willing to "pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely see the southern mountains" like Tao Yuanming, you must strive for it. Of course, even if you become Tao Yuanming in modern society, it is necessary to have an economic foundation.

Although Nora did not make a decision on the spot today, Joseph could feel that Nora's view had changed because of Hugo's efforts. This is a huge change, and it will be impossible to transform it into possible, so the future is worth looking forward to.

Joseph suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. In fact, as an agent, all he could do was to win the opportunity for Hugo to audition, then establish a good relationship with the producer as much as possible, and use his own negotiation skills to win more benefits for Hugo. Apart from that, he didn't have much to do. But seeing Hugo working so hard, Joseph felt that he seemed to do more, because he felt that Hugo deserves more.

Neither Joseph nor Hugo talked anymore. The brand new Renault space was moving smoothly on the roads in Los Angeles. The thick night passed through the car window, making the car full of quiet tranquility and stability, moving towards home. When he got home, Joseph realized that Hugo was already asleep and he was really tired.

Joseph did not rush to wake up Hugo, but sat quietly in the car for about twenty minutes, and waited until Hugo slowly woke up before he said, "If you are sleepy, go upstairs quickly, wash and rest."

Hugo rubbed his sleepy eyes, responded casually, dragged out of the car with heavy steps, and after returning to the third floor, Hugo washed up casually, fell on the bed, and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

The next morning, when Hugo woke up, his house was still empty. Charlize and Alex had not come back yet, but Hugo had recovered. After all, acting was just a mental job, not a physical job. After a night of dreams, he woke up. He took a bath with a refreshing spirit, and then began to look at the empty refrigerator, thinking about what to eat for breakfast.

When Joseph came to the third floor, he saw Hugo standing in front of the refrigerator. He panted and asked, "Forgot to go to the supermarket?"

Hugo has been here alone in the past few days, so he didn't buy too much stuff when he went to the supermarket. After eating, there was no inventory. Hugo curled his lips, "Go in the afternoon, there are two boxes of corn flakes in the cabinet." Close the refrigerator door and turned around and saw Joseph in a sweaty outfit. Hugo immediately laughed, "Uh, you have a date tonight?"

"Uh, no, I just want to start fitness." Joseph said a little angry. He would never admit that he did not sleep well last night because of stress. He woke up early this morning and finally decided to welcome the upcoming 1993 with a new posture. Fitness is a good start and can also lose weight.

Hugo was immediately amused by Joseph's words and laughed, "Are you serious? Don't joke with me." Joseph's body shape has always been a bit fat, especially in the past six feet and two inches (1.88 meters) tall, now at least 220 pounds (100 kilograms). Hugo had joked about Joseph before, saying that there were too many trips at the end of the year and others had lost weight, but Joseph's appetite increased greatly because of the hard work, and he became fatter.

As an actor, Hugo cannot let his body shape change at will, unless it is necessary to film, otherwise even if Hugo is not an action actor like Arnold Schwarzenegger, he does not need to maintain muscle lines, but Hugo cannot just eat like this, causing too much deviation in body shape. Especially the two works of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Smelling the Flavor and Knowing Women" require Hugo to maintain his figure, and the previous poisoning caused his physical fitness was very poor, so Hugo has always insisted on exercising to maintain his health.

Joseph once tried to exercise with Hugo, but in fact he couldn't say he was fitness. He just ran for half an hour before going to bed at night. However, Joseph only persisted for two days and gave up, and even called him "I'm not an actor."

So, today, seeing Joseph starts to exercise again, Hugo's first reaction was to laugh, but seeing the depression on Joseph's face, Hugo quickly restrained his smile, "At least this is a good start. I said before, your height is below 180 pounds. Now if you are willing to work hard, it is naturally better."

There are too many high-calorie junk foods in Western dietary habits, which has led to the huge figures of many Westerners, especially after the 21st century, the proportion of obese children has increased rapidly, which has attracted the full attention of Western health scientists. Therefore, in Hugo's view, changing dietary habits may be difficult, but at least it is necessary to insist on basic exercise and maintain good health.

Joseph knew when he looked at Hugo's smiling expression that Hugo had not finished speaking, that was, "I don't know how long I can last." Joseph glared at Hugo hatefully, then walked to the table with the newspaper in his hand, "Give it, this is today's 'Los Angeles Times', there is good news on it."

Hugo did not go to read the newspaper, but quickly said, "How about this, when I go running in the future, you will be together? At least, there will be one more companion, maybe I can last longer."

Joseph remembered that Hugo was running unremittingly every day without filming, and some basic fitness movements. This perseverance is indeed admirable, but it also adds pressure. Joseph couldn't help but hesitate, "Forget it, I can't bear the rhythm and length of your running."

The smile on Hugo's face couldn't help but rise again. He knew that Joseph still retreated, so his smile couldn't help but make a little joke, "You can adjust it according to your own situation, or ask professionals, you know, I'm not a professional fitness coach."

When Joseph saw Hugo's joke, he knew that his thoughts had been seen through. His cheeks suddenly became hot and he said angrily, "Okay, just exercise with you and then go together. It's good to have someone urge each other." After that, he looked at Hugo with his neck stammering and expressed his determination.

Since I decided to welcome the New Year with a new attitude, I would give myself some pressure and motivation. What's more, Hugo will definitely be busy in the next January, and the frequency of exercise will definitely not be that high. Thinking of this, Joseph felt a little relieved.

Hugo was not surprised at all by Joseph's answer, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's start tonight." At this point, Hugo paused, "Or, you start tomorrow, after all, you ran this morning?"

"Tonight!" Joseph almost rolled his eyes and said firmly. Now Joseph and Hugo are much more comfortable getting along. Compared to the situation where they did not have too many expressions and were in a serious state in January this year, Joseph is much more "lively".

Hugo nodded in praise. This was obviously a sure expression, but in Joseph's eyes, he was awkward and his eyes moved awkwardly.

Hugo decided not to tease Joseph anymore and picked up the "Los Angeles Times" on the dining table, "So, what news is there today? You just said there is good news?"
