Chapter 208 208 Beverly Hills
Located on the west side of Los Angeles, the terrain is not very high, but it can overlook the charming scenery of Sunset Avenue, admire the magnificent picture of the sunset falling on the ocean, and taste the comfortable enjoyment of a life of luxury. Beverly Hills, known as the "most noble residential area in the world", is surrounded by prosperous neighborhoods such as Willsey Avenue, Rodeo Avenue, and Farmers' Market, becoming the most prosperous area in the entire Los Angeles and even the entire West Coast.
Beverly Hills' superior geographical location and excellent surroundings have attracted top stars from all over the world to purchase real estate again, including Hollywood movie stars, NBA basketball stars and chaebols from all over the world. They gather in this area, showing off their wealth and status, expanding their popularity, and standing at the peak of luxury to show people a colorful dream.
This makes Beverly Hills a gathering place for fame and wealth. The stars are hidden in garden-style villa buildings. People cannot explore the reality behind the high walls. They only know that every inch of land here represents wealth, reputation and reputation.
The best thing is the trees here, some are marked in the ages, some are not. People can't even name these trees, just like those mansions, towering trees and fruitful trees, walking on both sides of the mountain road, quiet and fresh, like a paradise. But this is not an isolated "peach garden", but a garden located in the center of the world's prosperous world, looking down at the road under your feet, as if every stone shines with gold.
The Beverly Hills trail is like a maze, circling and crossing to the top of the mountain. Looking around, Los Angeles unfolds straightforwardly at the foot of the mountain. The so-called Beverly Hills is actually only a hundred meters, but it is like a peak comparable to Everest, telling all those who come to Los Angeles: This is a gathering place for wealth and reputation.
Many times, fame and wealth can only be displayed when gathered together. Things that are not displayed can only be treasured deep in the heart: perhaps forced to treasure. And Beverly Hills is such a display platform, which seems to be a platform covered with red velvet fabric, presenting wealth, reputation, and reputation purely, and then attracting countless people to come like moths and fires.
I have lived in Los Angeles for nearly a year. Hugo has passed this hill countless times, but I have never really looked at this place. Maybe it is because it is too far away from him, so far that Hugo doesn't think he belongs to this land piled up with wealth; maybe it is because there are no friends Hugo is familiar with, which makes him like countless tourists in Los Angeles. He just sighs at the tranquility and luxury of the place when passing by, and then sighs and turns and leaves.
Hugo, Joseph and Uma walked out of the car and handed the car keys to the waiter parking at the door. Under the gaze of two rows of six black-clad bodyguards, he walked into the carved door in front of him. The door was so big that it felt like Hugo could not touch the end, and he was like a hobbit entering the world of giants.
The bodyguard at the door raised his hand to stop Hugo and others from moving forward. After carefully looking at Hugo, he whispered to the intercom, "Hugo Lancaster, carry two companions." In such a private gathering, Hugo's face is an invitation letter, and there must be a list of guests inside the party, and it can only be released after confirmation.
Hugo originally thought there was no computer now, and it was very troublesome to check the list and it took more time. But unexpectedly, in less than five seconds, the bodyguard put his hand down and said with a smile, "Good evening, Mr. Lancaster."
Hugo smiled and nodded in response, then took his own steps. Uma took Hugo's right hand and walked side by side, while Joseph followed Hugo's left side, following closely behind.
After entering the gate, I saw a huge parking floor with an arc fountain in the center. At this time, a few people were walking here with champagne. However, these people did not gather together to chat, but enjoyed the silence here as if they were meditating. Occasionally, when the two met, they just whispered. But Hugo could clearly feel that when he came in, the eyes of these people projected towards him at about the same time.
Joseph lowered his voice in Hugo's left ear and said, "The third-tier actor seeking opportunities." Hugo immediately understood.
These people are either actors who come with the invited guests like Uma, but for some special reasons, the guests have something to leave for the time being, and they can't find a partner to talk to and have to stay alone; or they rely on their personal relationships to get the opportunity to enter the party, but they have to find a way out for themselves because they have no referees... Unfortunately, they can't find a suitable opportunity inside, so they choose the entrance to the parking ping to see if they can talk to the director and producer, or they are senior journalists and magazine editors.
Although Hugo has two good movies, he is not a powerful actor in Hollywood, and he has never been involved in directors, screenwriters, producers, etc., so it is not attractive to these people. Naturally, no one comes up. After confirming who the person is, they retracted their sight and continued to think about it.
Hugo didn't know how great the chance of success was to wait for the rabbit like this, but it must be admitted that at such a top party, it can be said that there are opportunities all over the ground, just to see who can grasp it.
Walking through the parking floor and entering the open villa gate, the bright light immediately allowed Hugo to enter another world. A heater hits his face, making his cheeks flush in an instant, and his eyes are filled with people coming and going. Everyone holds wine glasses or dining plates, gathering together in groups of three or three to chat and laugh. The crystal crystal cups, dazzling chandeliers, bright roses, quaint furniture, elegant murals, and exquisite carpets are pouring into their sight, making people dazzled.
Hugo stood at the door a little at a loss. Attending such a luxurious party is a brand new experience, but Hugo generally knows that in fact, what such a party requires is self-confidence, calmly and calmly chatting with others from topics such as weather and food, and then making new friends. It is of course better if someone recommends it. If not, don’t panic. Socializing boldly and confidently is the truth. But even if you know, you will inevitably sweat when you really want to do it.
Joseph whispered to Hugo, "I'll go find Sidney." This is the strategy they formulated before they set out today. Joseph went to find the master, while Hugo stayed in the hall to meet new friends and sought opportunities. The two of them worked together, hoping to talk to Sidney, and as for other things, I'll talk about it later.
After watching Joseph leave, Hugo turned his head to look at Uma. The two of them exchanged gazes. Hugo also saw a hint of nervousness in Uma's eyes. Then Hugo felt Uma's left hand tightening slightly. Hugo couldn't help but smile and gave Uma a little encouragement.
Before Hugo could take the steps, someone took the initiative to come forward and greet him, "Hey, Hugo!" He raised his eyes and saw that it was Tom Cruise! This was a real surprise.
"Good evening, Tom." Hugo suppressed his thoughts in his heart. For example, Nicole Kidman standing next to Tom Cruise, they really look very loving. For example, Tom Cruise's height, Hugo visually estimated that he was only five feet and five inches at most (1.68 meters), and there was definitely no five feet and seven inches mentioned in the information. Hugo smiled and greeted him, then looked at Nicole Kidman next to him. Sure enough, Nicole was not wearing high heels tonight, "Good evening, ma'am."
"Please call me Nicole." Nicole's temperament has always been a bit of arrogance in her coldness, even when she smiles, but it is undeniable that it really makes people shine. She is definitely a super beauty. "I wonder if this beautiful lady is?"
"Uma Thurman, ma'am, you can call me Uma." Uma took the initiative to introduce herself, neither humble nor arrogant, but humble and polite. Although Hugo could feel Uma holding his left hand muscle tightening, he couldn't hear it at all from Uma's voice, "Good evening, Mr. Cruise."
"You made me feel old, Miss Tom." Tom held Uma's right hand and showed a gentlemanly smile. Although he was limited by his height, Tom was in his prime at this time, and the handsomeness of a handsome young man made people amazed. "I watched your work not long ago. Your performance with Jack was really wonderful, so when I saw you, Nicole and I felt that we must say hello to you."
Unexpectedly, Tom actually took the initiative to mention the "Yihai Xiongfeng". Judging from rumors in the circle, Tom is actually a more arrogant actor, in other words, a big name, but his big name is not domineering the staff or making things difficult for the program team. On the contrary, there have always been rumors about his staff and the kindness of reporters. The airtips or big names mentioned here mean that he is always picky, or arrogance is more appropriate to describe it. He has always had inviolable persistence in his work. For things like "Yihai Xiongfeng", Tom was snatched away by Hugo, so according to speculation, Tom would definitely not be happy, in fact, no one would be happy. And with Tom's current status in the circle, it is appropriate to describe it as furious.
But now, looking at the smile on Tom's face, it is indeed so sincere. Hugo couldn't tell whether Tom was wearing a polite mask or sincere. However, not only could he maintain a superficial friendship, but also came forward to say hello on his own initiative. Hugo still felt good about it, at least this kind of demeanor was rare.
"Thank you, I just tried to do my job as an actor." Hugo said with a smile, "You know, it is not that easy to reach the level in front of Jack. I will mess up the movie by accident. I have spent a lot of energy to avoid becoming the culprit." After that, Hugo curled his lips and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This childish little movement made Tom and Nicole laugh, and of course, Uma standing next to him. Uma's inner tension was relieved a lot.
