Chapter 1805 1805 Admiring the eyes
Watching Hugo trot and high-fives all the way into the crew, the reporters guarding the streets recorded this moment with their cameras. Although every reporter deeply understood Hugo's current powerful influence, after every real experience, they were still amazed.
A talk show once discussed why Hugo was so popular and had such a strong appeal among the masses, even surpassing the "two Tom" Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. At that time, the show joked that perhaps it was because Hugo once cried and received his first Golden Plum Worst Actor Award, which not only made Hugo's image approachable and easily accepted by the public; but also made Hugo's re-rise experience full of inspirational and legendary color. Therefore, this won the love of the general public, and even surpassed Tom Hanks, a representative of a typical good family and good man in the American middle class.
Regardless of whether the discussion of this conversation program is correct or what the reason is, the fact is that the opening ceremony of "Los Angeles City Secret" once again undoubtedly became a hot spot, in the most highly-anticipated way.
After Hugo entered the crew, the staff came up and slapped a high-five. Then he picked up the baton in his hand and signaled that Hugo could enter. The matter of commanding the truck to enter the crew was handed over to him. Hugo nodded, walked in quickly, and then saw David and Curtis walking towards him.
"Huh, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get in just now and was thinking about what to do." Curtis obviously had never seen such a big scene. His face was a little uneasy, but he was a little excited, and he felt quite contradictory.
David also breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, almost half of the crew were blocked outside and couldn't get in. Now it's finally solved."
In fact, there are still two hours left before the press conference for "Los Angeles City Secret" to start the press conference. Most of the reporters have not arrived at the scene. The crew members are also preparing one after another. Not only is the press conference for today, but the set will be open for a while, so that the reporters can stay on site for first-hand information to interview. But who knew that the scene would become so lively that even the most important protagonist would almost not be able to get in.
"Kevin and Charlize were blocked a few streets away. I went to contact the traffic police and hoped not to have an impact on today's shooting." David pointed to the still noisy crowd in front of him. After saying hello to Hugo, he walked over and took great strides. David was responsible for dealing with the government in this regard. Today, Hugo solved a big problem for him.
Curtis and Hugo walked towards the crew. The street in front of them had been completely closed. At the end of the street was the crew's base camp, with three trucks and a trailer parked, and a huge tent next to it. The staff were loading and unloading and shooting in a busy manner. Although it was still a street of life, the feeling of the set was revealed.
"Barry just called, he will come right later." Curtis simply explained that to some extent, he and Hugo should be in the same camp, because the two hope to work together to make the movie well, and because Hugo is the core of the entire crew.
Hugo was not surprised by this situation. Barry did not come to control the situation on the scene. After the "Los Angeles City Secret" was started, he actually didn't have much direct contact with Barry. Even if there was something wrong, he would remotely control it through David. But Barry decided to come to the scene in person. On the one hand, he took the opportunity to express his importance to Hugo, and on the other hand, he also hoped to take advantage of today's momentum to further expand the momentum of "Los Angeles City Secret".
Hugo nodded to show his understanding. Curtis looked at the media reporter who was about to move in another corner, "Do you want to see the reporter first?"
Hugo looked at Curtis's sight and saw the group of familiar or unfamiliar reporters. They found Hugo's sight. Everyone waved their hands hard to attract Hugo's attention. Hugo just waved his hand with a smile, without any intention of walking over. "It's a press conference in a while, so there's no hurry." What's more, after the press conference, these reporters probably would still bother him for a while, so there's no need to go over and greet them now.
The two walked straight forward to the base camp location, and saw Heath Ledger and Russell Crow from afar. They stood by the street with uneasiness but full of expectations, staring at Hugo. It was not long before the two actors from Australia entered the crew and found a common topic. Obviously, they wanted to step forward and say something to Hugo, but when they saw Hugo and Curtis were communicating, they did not dare to move forward easily. Then they watched Hugo pass by them. The two looked at each other and immediately chased after him in panic, following him not far or near.
Curtis looked back at the two actors who followed each other. Seeing their anxious but at a loss, he turned to look at Hugo and stopped talking, but he couldn't help it. "Hugo, aren't you going to communicate with them?"
Hugo's mouth outlined a perfect curve, "I want to enjoy the feeling of being worshipped." This sentence made Curtis stunned, and then saw the serious look in Hugo's eyes. Then he realized that Hugo was joking and couldn't help laughing.
Although Hugo is joking, some of it is actually the truth.
Although Alexander Lorraine expressed her appreciation for Hugo's performances very much, and even admired Hugo; the meaning now is completely different. Hugo has now become a model for actors under the age of 35, and has also become a reason for many young people to go to Hollywood and fall in love with movies. Just like Hugo met Steven Spielberg, Paul Newman, Gregory Parker, Catherine Hepburn and others, the excitement and excitement are indescribable.
This feeling is actually very wonderful, a little excited, but a little nervous. I am obviously just an ordinary person, just an ordinary actor, not Jesus, not Guanyin, or Allah, but I am respected, worshipped and admired by others. This is a kind of glory, a burden, or an honor, and it feels really mixed.
At this time, Heath and Russell could not help but run to Hugo, which made Hugo and Curtis stop. Russell took a deep breath and smiled, "Good morning, Mr. Hanson." Then he turned to look at Hugo standing next to him, "I think this is Mr. Lancaster, right?"
Russell is three years older than Hugo, so he tries to keep himself calm, pretend to be calm and dating with normal social etiquette.
In fact, Russell was a little nervous after he finished speaking. He was thinking whether it would be more appropriate to ask Curtis to be an introduction by the middleman. It seemed a bit rash to introduce him like this. But when he saw Hugo, he also smiled politely, "I'm glad to know you, Mr. Crow, I'm Hugo Lancaster."
This made Russell panic. Looking at Hugo's right hand that was stretched out, he was stunned. He didn't know what to do. He looked back at Heath beside him. But before Heath could react, he looked at Hugo again and then held Hugo's right hand, "Russell, please call me Russell. I'm very happy to know you. I only watched the "Seven Deadly Sins" not long ago, and your performance was really wonderful."
Russell's tension was almost fully reflected. Hugo could even feel his right hand trembling slightly. This feeling of excitement reminded Hugo of the situation he had just passed by. The freshness, the uneasiness, and the expectation became a huge driving force for him to keep moving forward.
"Russell, Leo mentioned you to me, and he said he was a little jealous of you because your talent for acting is so outstanding." Hugo said with a smile.
But this simple sentence made Russell's face flushed slightly excited, "Leo, Leo said before, I want to introduce me to you, but he has never been able to fulfill it. I didn't expect that I had such an honor to be able to star in a work with you, and I was really flattered."
"Haha, if I say, the reason why I recommend you to the crew is because of Leo's introduction?" Hugo's words made Russell's pupils slightly dilate, and he was a little excited and at a loss. It is hard to imagine that Russell Crow, who is in Hollywood, is even a few years older than Hugo's, but he is like a star-chasing fan, nervous and excited.
Hugo's eyes saw Heath, who was standing next to him, and then he also took the initiative to extend his right hand, "Heath, I'm glad to see you again. You have successfully won this important role."
Heath was actually a little worried because there were many rumors about Hugo in the circle. One of the most famous ones is that it is difficult for Hugo to remember other people's names clearly, and he is also somewhat blind. Therefore, every time we meet, if Hugo shows strangeness, it is not because he is rude, but because he is indeed weak in this regard. Today Heath has been worried that he and Hugo have only met twice. If Hugo doesn't remember himself, what should he do? Will he re-introduce himself? Or should he try to awaken Hugo's memory?
When he heard Hugo call out his name accurately, the smile on Heath's face suddenly burst into infinite light, "Sir... I mean, Hugo, I'm really happy to see you. I'm starting to be impatient now. I mean, looking forward to watching your performance on site... Of course, I also look forward to my own performance." Heath said incoherently.
Hugo chuckled with a happier smile and turned to look at Curtis beside him, "It's great to be young, isn't it?"
