Chapter 961 961 Script Cast
Hugo raised his head and looked out the window. It was indeed a misty drizzle. The misty rain and mist ran away from the hillside, covering the entire city in a haze. The faint light emitted a shallow halo in the mist, and there seemed to be a rare poetic feeling wherever you see.
Hugo will talk to his teammates about the band contract, but he will not worry too much. After all, the overall situation is dominant for Glory until death. He sits here and thinks randomly. Even if he has nothing to do, he will fantasize about something. It is better to relax and let it go.
Turning back, Hugo saw Stewart Townsend standing at the door, and Charlize walked in while shook the raindrops in his hair.
Realizing that a guest was visiting, Hugo had to stand up from the sofa. This was the first time Stewart sent Charlize to the second floor. The two of them were separated downstairs, so this was also the first time Hugo and Stewart officially met, an unexpected meeting.
"Hugo, Stu; Stu, Hugo." Charlize stood at the door, looked back and forth casually at the two men, and briefly introduced.
Hugo walked up quickly and grabbed Stewart's right hand. This was a man who was a little shy and gentlemanly. "I'm glad to know you." Hugo said politely.
At this time, Charlize and Stewart were both wet. The two of them were covered with a layer of water droplets, and the thin shirt outlined the curve of their figure. Fortunately, Charlize's shirt was dark and not transparent, but Stewart looked a little embarrassed. His shirt was white.
"Sally often mentions you to me, but never has the opportunity to meet you. It is an honor to be able to meet you officially." Stewart spoke humbly and politely, neither humble nor arrogant, not too polite or flattering. Everything is just right, and it is easy for people to feel good about it.
Hugo looked at Charlize, his eyes as if saying, "It's indeed Mr. Perfect." As a result, Charlize rolled his eyes in response, but Hugo just glanced lightly, and then looked at Stewart again, "Please come in, please come in, I see... you're also wet, come in and take care of it." Hugo took aside and invited Stewart to come in.
But Stewart did not move his footsteps, just stood at the door and explained politely, "It's all my fault. Sally said he wanted to buy an umbrella, but I felt that today was just a drizzle. It seemed like a good idea to take a walk in the rain, so I insisted on coming back together, and then I wet my clothes."
Hearing this, Hugo and Charlize looked at each other almost immediately, and the smiles on the corners of their mouths were slightly raised, but both of them suppressed them. After all, Stewart was right in front of them. It would be too rude to smile. But the smile in their eyes revealed their true feelings.
Stewart naturally noticed this detail, and he asked in a careful tone, "What's wrong?"
Hugo shook his head quickly and explained casually, "No, it's okay, it's just that I was reading the script just now and didn't notice the rain, so I was a little surprised." Hugo said quickly, and then changed the topic, "Are you sure we are going to stand at the door and talk? You'd better come in and sit down."
"No need, let's visit you officially next time. I'll go back first today." Stewart didn't think much about it, but said politely. Then he took a step forward, hugged Charlize gently, gave a veneer, and then looked at Hugo again and said, "I'm glad to know you."
Then Stewart took a step back and then turned around and walked downstairs quickly.
Charlize quickly ran to the window, and when Stewart arrived downstairs, she waved to him again, saying goodbye. When she turned around, she saw Hugo, who had closed the hall door and stood there with a helpless look on his face.
The two of them were in contact with each other in the air, and they were stunned for a moment, and then they burst into laughter together, almost unable to contain them.
Hugo and Charlize have discussed this issue before. They think that such plots appearing in romantic love movies are too fake. For example, when dating a man and a woman are walking in the rain, then laugh happily, running and chasing in the rain like a child; for example, a woman does not bring an umbrella on a rainy day, when the man sees this, he hides his umbrella, then pulls up his coat and rushes up, protects the woman under the coat, and runs to hide from the rain together... This plot looks extremely romantic, but it seems unrealistic in life. Instead, it is a bit artificial and even a little stupid.
As a result, Stewart proposed to let Charlize do this today, and Charlize was embarrassed to refuse, and he really returned from walking in the rain.
"You know, he was so serious when he proposed it. I...I don't know what to say." Charlize explained intermittently, holding his stomach that was stiff and laughing.
Hugo also felt tears in his eyes, "God, he is really Mr. Perfect, perfect!" Although he had only met Stewart for one moment, I have to say that Stewart's performance was very good, and even if he was wet by the rain, it would not have much impact. "So, how do you feel?"
Charlize shrugged, "In fact, it's not that bad. Although it feels really stupid,...you know, after you start walking, it's really a...uh, special experience." Charlize looked at Hugo who was about to hilariously and glared fiercely, "Maybe it can be a rare experience for me to act in the future." But after saying that, he still felt inconvenient and sat on the sofa in disgust, saying, "If you want to laugh, laugh, that's what I did...oh God, I actually did."
Hugo laughed and returned to the sofa, "So, why did Mr. Perfect come upstairs today? This meeting was a big surprise."
"He thought it's been more than half a year since we've been dating. It's very rude to not see my friend, because most of my topics are inseparable from those friends around me, but he doesn't know you." Charlize briefly explained, "We saw the lights on the third floor downstairs, and guessed you or Alex was at home, so he came up. In fact, he wanted to see you and Alex a few months ago, but you two were very busy lately and hadn't found the right opportunity."
Hugo suddenly realized that this was indeed a natural thing. "He wouldn't have asked, I hope we can meet for a formal meal, right?"
"How do you know?" Charlize looked over in surprise and choked Hugo in place.
This feeling is really strange, just like... it's like Stewart is trying to please Charlize's good friend, but this kind of behavior is usually done by women, and men really don't care much, but all Stewart's behavior is so perfect, it looks like a perfect considerate boyfriend, and he can't pick out any thorns. This is so weird.
After waiting for a long time, Hugo only said, "Mr. Perfect". Apart from that, he could not find a suitable description.
Charlize also thought so, so he was very considerate of Hugo's thoughts. She said with a smile, "Anyway, you are so busy with work, so don't worry." Charlize saw the script Hugo placed on the coffee table, "Have you finished the creative work?"
Hugo said hesitantly, "That's right." He was not very confident about the screenwriter's work. "You can read it, it's also a script we created together."
"You are serious!" Charlize glanced at Hugo and said self-deprecatingly, "I just talked to you a few times and did nothing else." She picked up the script and read it skillfully.
Hugo shrugged, "The point is that this script is chatting, and the process of our chatting is actually the process of creation."
Charlize looked at Hugo speechlessly, and then said with a smile, "Maybe this is the simplest creation I have ever done. If you do it a few more times, maybe I am a great writer." This sentence made Hugo laugh, "Have you seen it for Ernst? What did he say?"
"He said he was very bold and experimental. If he found a suitable director, it would be interesting to shoot it. Of course, if the director chose the wrong one, then this script would be a disaster, and even the stage plays of high school students were better than this one." Hugo recalled Ernst's strictness and harshness and said helplessly, which made Charlize giggle.
"Then do you have any ideas about Cass?" Charlize was actually very familiar with this script. She could feel the subtle changes Hugo made when she read it. To be honest, in this month, Hugo spent countless efforts on this script. Although it was just a simple script, it was definitely hard to come by.
Hugo did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, "I have thought about it, I feel that I have some ideas, but I still have to ask for the other party's opinions."
After creating the script "Before Sunrise", Hugo also made serious considerations. Although the creator of this script has become him and the content has naturally undergone many different changes, it would be great if Richard Linklater could still be found for guidance. Because Richard can inject a fresh and literary atmosphere into this movie, the flowing scenes are slight heart-warming. This characteristic is something other directors do not have.
However, Hugo changed history. He didn't know whether Richard had created a version of "Before Sunrise", and he didn't know whether Richard was willing to direct the script he wrote. The charm of the butterfly effect lies in that Hugo could not be 100% sure of many things, especially the events in which he participated.
"You can go and ask, at least meet and talk..." Charlize didn't think much, and said for granted, but he was interrupted by the ringing phone ringing halfway through. She looked at Hugo, tilting her head and looking lazy, "You go and answer the phone."
Hugo rolled his eyes helplessly, "Yes, the romantic heroine who just returned from walking in the rain should have a good rest." This sentence directly made Charlize fly and hit him with a pillow.
