034 Arrive at the crew
Hugo was unable to wait for Charlize's call. The next day he called again. This time Terra answered the phone and said that Charlize was out for dinner. However, this time Terra also conveyed Charlize's message, "She said she was fine, don't worry about her."
Hugo didn't understand what this sentence sounded like. It sounded like a response to his message, and also expressed Charlize's understanding of his behavior of leaving without saying goodbye, but he always felt that there was something abnormal in his words, but Hugo didn't know whether this abnormality was real or his own random thoughts. However, Hugo was relieved to be able to obtain Charlize's understanding.
Hugo would not deny his favor for Charlize. He felt that Charlize would definitely have similar feelings for him, otherwise the two would not have so many subsequent developments that night, so Hugo still did not want to ruin all this because of an accident. Of course, the future development of the two people still depends on the next process to know that Hugo originally planned to ask Charlize out again, but the call of the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women" forced Hugo to start preparing for the first work he was about to start filming.
Although Joseph is an agent who has only been changing careers for less than 18 months, with the big tree of the International Innovation Management Company, Joseph has made rapid progress, both in terms of connections and adaptability to work. After the audition results of "Smelling the Fragrance to Know Women" came out, within two days, Joseph completed all the contracts, making Hugo truly a member of the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance to Know Women". The next day, the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance to Know Women" asked Hugo to go to New York, and the filming was about to begin.
This opportunity was won by Hugo for all his might, and it was also the best opportunity for him to break through the current predicament. Naturally, he didn't want to mess up himself, not to mention that he would also act opposite Al Pacino. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity does not appear often. Therefore, Hugo must devote himself to the preliminary preparations for shooting, not only for trial preparation, photography, etc., but also for character understanding, acting skills and other work. This also made Hugo almost have no time to rest within three days, let alone call Charlize.
When everything was ready, Hugo seemed to have come to his senses before he could come back to his senses, and he and Joseph sat on a plane to New York (New.York).
Joseph looked at Hugo who was a little nervous on his right hand, and thought Hugo was worried about the article in the Los Angeles Times today. After thinking about it, he still comforted him, "Don't worry, after entering the crew, you just need to do your own thing. Those newspaper comments cannot decide anything." Let your actors maintain a good attitude, which is also one of the agent's job content.
Hugo's eyes were unconsciously floating around. Everything in the cabin was so unfamiliar to him. It was not that there was something special about the aircraft's structure, but that the dark blue printed cushion, silk white shirt and a stewardess uniform with a big red suit vest, was full of rich retro style of the 1990s, which was really unbearable.
Hearing Joseph's words, Hugo couldn't help but retract his attention and used a smile to hide his behavior. "What's wrong, what's the newspaper saying?" As soon as he said that, Hugo realized that he was confused, "Oh, you said 'Los Angeles Times'. I only read one title this morning and haven't read the content yet. Is there anything wrong with it?"
The front page of the "Los Angeles Times" today is the latest progress of Woody Allen and her adopted daughter. The 23rd edition reported that Hugo officially signed a contract with the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women". The title of the news said, "Wrong Choice", obviously does not agree with the crew's final decision. And not only the "Los Angeles Times", most authoritative media have negative attitudes about Hugo's performance this time. Obviously, the sequelae of the Golden Raspberry Award is still affecting Hugo's acting career.
Joseph realized that Hugo was just distracted just now and was not nervous at all. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, "Nothing, don't worry."
Hugo picked up the Los Angeles Times on his knee. He took it while he was on the plane. He continued to say, "The reporter who wrote this article today is the same last time. Is he involved with our company? Why can he see him every time the report?"
"Are you talking about Nicholas? If there is any involvement, he will not seek trouble again and again." Joseph more or less knows the source of these reports, and this is also part of his work. If there is serious negative news, he must also be responsible for contacting the reporters, minimize the negative impact or even remove the news.
In fact, after the detailed work is made, the public relations agent is responsible for it, which is a professional. But now Hugo can only be considered a fledgling and has not reached the level of being equipped with a public relations agent, so Joseph temporarily took full responsibility.
The reporter Hugo just mentioned is Nicholas McCallum, a professional reporter for the Los Angeles Times. He wrote the follow-up report of the Golden Raspberry Awards before. The report of the failed audition of "Dahe Love" also signed his name. It can be seen that he has no good impression of Hugo, and he is sarcastic every time the report is sarcastic. This time is no exception. Nicholas obviously does not optimistic about Hugo's prospects in the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women", and he also expressed concerns about the entire movie.
"I thought I had snatched his girlfriend and targeted me twice." Hugo smiled and teased, then turned his eyes to the newspaper in his hand, but after reading for a long time, he couldn't find the "wrong choice" report today. Moreover, Hugo felt that something was wrong with the newspaper, so he could only make a fuss.
Just as Hugo was thinking, Joseph next to him said coldly, "You are wrong."
Hugo's movements suddenly stiffened and stood there. So that's it. He said that the bold text was so strange. He couldn't help but chuckled twice, concealing his embarrassment, and then pretended to be calm and turned the newspaper upside down. This immediately became much more pleasing. His confused problem has never been corrected. Fortunately, it was just a small problem. He was never careless in the general direction, otherwise it would be troublesome.
When Hugo was reading the article "Wrong Choice", the plane was about to take off. Today they left Los Angeles and set out for New York, because most of the filming of the "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" film will be held in New York, and some scenes will be filmed in New Jersey and Boston near New York. After feeling the plane began to glide, Hugo turned his eyes away from the newspaper and looked out the window.
As the Angel City became smaller and smaller in sight, the color outside the window gradually faded from the thick ink and heavy colors, and finally turned into a clear blue color. It was like a drop of ink dripping from clear water, from thick to light, the slightly faint color had a unique thrilling beauty.
From Los Angeles to New York, the journey spans the entire United States, taking more than five hours. From the West Coast to the East Coast, you will experience a completely different regional style. But it is also a long flight, which is long enough to make people feel the huge difference in the same season. Although it is still January and the entire northern hemisphere is in winter, the bright sunshine on the West Coast always makes people forget the coldness of the cold winter. But this time the East Coast welcomes Hugo with a heavy rain, clearly telling Hugo: Although the East Coast and the West Coast are the same country, the styles are hugely different.
When the plane landed at JF Kennedy International Airport, the cityscape outside the sun visor was blocked by rain curtains, and the view was only hazy. The ground temperature of 35 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) made Hugo miss the sunny days in Los Angeles before leaving the plane.
Before he came, Hugo suddenly became nervous. His mood was messy and forced him to turn his attention to the rain and mist outside the window. The breath of winter was mixed with the rain and smashed on the ground, picking up strings of water splashes. In fact, compared to his cooperation with Al Pacino, Hugo's heartbeats when he thought of the upcoming shooting.
It's probably like this. I have always dreamed of being able to perform in front of the camera with a dignified performance, but when the opportunity really comes, I am influenced by my nervousness. I am worried that I will ruin the performance, I am worried that I will ruin this opportunity, and I am worried that I will reduce the quality of the masterpiece "Smelling the Scent and Knowing Women"...
"You can do it, you can do it, you can do it..." After leaving the airport and taking a yellow taxi, Hugo had no intention of looking at the world's largest city. His eyes fell on the rain curtain but there was no focal length, because he was constantly hypnotizing himself. He had to believe in his strength, and at the same time he had to believe in his persistence and persistence, so that he could find a stable corner from his nervous mood and prepare for the upcoming shooting.
"Here." Joseph's voice interrupted Hugo's distracting thoughts. Hugo turned his head and looked to the left side of the taxi. Then he saw a waiter wearing a over-knee windbreaker walking to the taxi door with an umbrella, opening the door, and placing the umbrella above the door. Hugo got out of the car and was wrapped in an umbrella. The surrounding rain blocked New York outside, and Hugo curled up in a small world made of umbrellas.
