Chapter 1638： Revisit the old place

phone-reading

Not only Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Sony Columbia Pictures and other film companies are still unwilling to give up hope. Although people always like to say that Hollywood always loves the new and dislikes the old, no one is irreplaceable, and no one can eternally-Jun Arnold Schwarzenegger’s momentum has not seen obvious signs of decline in the past two years since the "true lie"; but Hugo, who is struggling to climb a new peak in his career, is obviously out of this ranks for the time being, even if he is worth as much as 20 million U.S. dollars. There are still countless consortia waving their checks and begging for Hugo's favor.

Hugo did not have any interest in making new works in a short period of time. He and Rick reached a consensus that the next work must be carefully selected, whether it is a commercial film or an art film, whether to look at the script or the director. Whether to choose a lighter theme or a more serious theme... They all need to consider long-term.

After devoting himself to the pre-rehearsal preparations for the tour, Hugo’s life became regular again. While the band members exchanged opinions with representatives of the country on the spot, they worked out a detailed tour plan; they started a long period of practice and strived to contribute. A perfect stage for the tour.

But obviously, it is impossible for Hugo to enjoy this rare silence. The reporters waited around the band’s practice area almost every day, and swarmed up whenever they saw Hugo; even many enthusiastic fans waited at the door of the practice room for a long time every day, just to be able to meet Hugo, which made it glorious. The quiet area where the practice room is located looks like Disneyland every day.

When Hugo came to the practice room again today, he saw the turbulent crowd of more than 300 people at the door from a distance. Everyone’s face was filled with excitement. The fanaticism that couldn’t be hidden caused the air to disappear. Become scorching hot.

Hugo knows that he should feel honored, because he is just an ordinary person, and these people are crazy because of him. This is a height that many people dream of a lifetime and cannot achieve. In the process of survival, almost everyone is looking for their own sense of existence and longing for social approval. They are all pursuing their own success... Now, Hugo has achieved all this, he is like a god, standing high in the sky overlooking the turbulent wave.

However, Hugo felt a kind of fear, the fear of being overwhelmed by the crowd, as if he was an extremely small ant. Those turbulent crowds will only make him feel small and insignificant, and it seems that he may be swallowed at any time; the fear of loneliness is hidden behind the popularity. He no longer has his own life, let alone go shopping with Cameron, even the freedom to drink a glass of beer with the band members has been taken away.

There is also the fear after falling from the peak. The higher you stand, the heavier you fall. At this time, Hugo finally understands why those big families and successful people do not compromise for money, honor, and fame, because they taste The joy of passing the peak, don't want to become embarrassed. Even if it is despicable and cruel, I will not hesitate...

The endless fear stopped Hugo's footsteps involuntarily, and then closed his eyes—because the turbulent crowd seemed to come directly on his face in the next second and drown him.

Hugo wanted to take a step forward and head towards the practice room two hundred yards away, but he couldn't take it anymore. Once upon a time, Hugo thought this was an extremely absurd idea: They just rely on the audience to support the profession of eating, how could they be afraid of the audience? How can they make faces to the audience? How can they play big cards unscrupulously? But those are just the thoughts of bystanders. Only when you really reach this position can you know the bitterness and difficulty in it.

After taking a long breath, Hugo finally turned and left. He called Neal and said that he was not feeling well today and was absent from practice. Neil seemed to hear the tiredness in Hugo's voice. He didn't ask anything, just let Hugo take a good rest, and then hung up the phone.

Going aimlessly along the street, only a few hundred yards behind is noisy like a Christmas market, but hundreds of yards away is quiet like a country town after midnight. Such a sharp contrast gives Hugo a sense of inexplicable absurdity.

Today was originally a band practice all day, but Hugo now has no way to engage in practice, and temporarily decided to leave the turbulent crowd. Hugo didn't know where to go. Because even if he wears a baseball cap today, as long as he walks to a slightly crowded place, he may be recognized and cause riots, except for staying at home obediently.

Hugo realized how narcissistic and self-centered this idea was, but a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, because more ridiculous than this idea of ​​narcissism was that his idea was true, even if he wanted to There is no way to deny that you want to be humble.

Just thinking about it, a group of college students walked towards them, they laughed happily, and then two of them seemed to notice Hugo, cast their eyes, and then discussed something lowly, Hugo narrowed his jaw slightly. Let the brim of the baseball cap cover most of his face, trying to keep calm and move on.

When the two sides passed by, Hugo could vaguely hear the fragmented voice, "Hugo... shouldn't be..." discussion. Hugo continued to take his steps, keeping his calmness and calmness. Even though he could clearly feel the sight of the group of college students from behind, he tried to restrain his inner urge to escape-otherwise he would be exposed.

After passing the corner, Hugo relaxed a little, but raised his head and looked at the strange streets around him, but he was a little at a loss. The world was so big, but he suddenly couldn't find a peaceful place. "This idea is so hypocritical." Hugo twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and there was a sneer and ridicule in his smile that could not be concealed.

Walking slowly along the corner of the street, there is no direction and no purpose. Hugo's brain gradually calmed down. He really needs this tour, not only because the tour is a medium for the band and fans to communicate, but also because the stage is currently the only free space that belongs to him. Compared with the world of the film crew, compared with the limited space of the recording studio, the stage is his last position.

In this position, he does not need to avoid the turbulent crowd, because the crowd is part of the stage; he does not need to avoid the nasty media, because everything is truly displayed; he does not need to worry about the danger of being swallowed by the crowd, Because the stage is his fortress; he doesn't need to worry about the world becoming narrower and narrower, because this is a journey on the road...

Therefore, he needs to stand on the stage, breathe the air of freedom, and feel the land he loves, reminding him that the crowd is an important part of his dream rather than a stumbling block.

Thinking of the tour, Hugo's mood is obviously much better. Compared with AEG Group, the live country is more in line with Hugo's current situation. He can pour out all his thoughts on the third series and bring this world to life. The tour is labeled as truly glorious to death.

All of this is awakening the enthusiasm in Hugo's heart, the most primitive enthusiasm, in the distant last life, in the distant childhood, the first time I touched the guitar when I was moved by music for the first time When I was so excited, when I first tried to form a so-called band with my friends, the enthusiasm at that time.

From then until now, Hugo has gone too far. Suddenly Hugo became a little curious about what the group of friends are doing in the parallel world, and whether the "self" in the parallel world is indulging in the world of music.

The multiple thoughts in his mind settled Hugo's emotions, walking and walking, Hugo without any sense of direction didn't know where he went. When he reacted, Hugo looked at the surrounding scenery at a loss and didn't know where he was.

The most troublesome aspect of Los Angeles is that although there are taxis, few taxis can be stopped directly on the street. Most of them need to call the taxi company to make an appointment, and then they will send the car. Hugo now wants to call a taxi straight home. Obviously, it's not that simple-he didn't bring out the brick-like cell phone when he went out today.

Looking around, Hugo is thinking about how he should find the way home. Although he has no concept in his head, but after careful inspection, Hugo feels that the surrounding scenery is a bit familiar—it’s true. Familiar, not the kind that seems to be similar in the dream. But for Lu Chi, why does Hugo feel familiar?

Hugo stood where he was lost in thought, and took a closer look. After seeing the familiar residential building on the right, Hugo finally realized that this was the house he used to live in at Sunset Plaza!

This is not the side of Sunset Plaza, but the side of the back mountain. This highway can go all the way to Mulholland Road. In the past, in order to avoid paparazzi, Hugo often sneaked away from here~www.novelhall.com ~ But I didn’t expect that Hugo went around and came back. What’s even more bizarre is that Hugo hasn’t recognized it for the first time. He has lived here for nearly three years in vain.

Hugo pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, but in the end he calmly pretended that the incident had not happened before, and then walked down the path down the mountain, watching the familiar building appear in sight little by little.

It’s hard to believe that Hugo has actually moved to Malibu for more than a year, but returning here again seems like a lifetime. Hugo remembered the fight against the paparazzi here before, but what's interesting is that compared to now, life here before can be said to be carefree-the paparazzi never knew Hugo and Charlize and Alex are roommates.

Although life in Malibu is now more comfortable and more comfortable, even Alex and Leonardo also regard Malibu as their base camp-staying in Hugo’s villa for a long time on vacation; but here is Sunset Plaza But there are too many memories, witnessing the history of Hugo step by step to the peak.

Hugo stood on the spot, smiling at the familiar and unfamiliar plants around him, and then a person appeared in his sight, slowly walking over, it was Ernst Lechman. (To be continued.
