"I moved today. Didn't I tell you before?" The voice from the uploader came down and looked up. It was Leonardo, wearing a dark blue T-shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Sweating profusely and his face flushed, you can see that he is in a good mood.
"James, Alex, come and help. Let's move in the box at the top of the stairs." Leonardo didn't wait for Hugo to say anything. He turned around and shouted, and then he heard a mess of footsteps, James -Franco and Alexander Lorraine ran all the way down from behind, laughed and greeted Hugo, and then strode forward, even surpassing Leonor. Many, ran straight out.
Hugo didn't have time to speak, and Leonardo chased after him. He could only stay stunned, "Leo moved today? Where did he move from? Why do I not know at all?"
Samora chuckled, "Have you forgotten? Didn't Leo say that he was going to stay here for a while, and then he would bring the luggage over today."
Of course Hugo knew what Leonardo said he was coming to live in. He had said it before going to Lanches, and Hugo didn't take it seriously. Because Leonardo spends most of his time here on vacation-not only Leonardo, but also everyone else. However, I didn't expect that Leonardo meant this time that he had moved here directly. Looking at the pile of boxes in front of him, I knew that Leonardo was not joking.
No wonder the paparazzi asked those words at the door just now! Hugo was stunned for an instant. I just feel dizzy, why does he have an ominous premonition?
"I know, but... he... isn't... like this... what's the matter?" Hugo murmured a lot. But I don't know what I should say, I just feel that the brain's reaction speed can't keep up.
At this time, the three Leonardo have come in carrying the box, "You lower your speed", "Don't be so fast", "I am in the wrong direction"... The three people are clamoring in a bustling voice, with their voices in their voices. With a hint of briskness, the entire empty villa became extremely lively, and a strong breath of life came to your face. It actually reminded Hugo of the time when he moved into Sunset Plaza.
"Leo, Leo. You wait." Hugo shouted loudly, and then all three of them stopped in place and found that Leonardo was facing Hugo with his back.
James was facing Hugo at this time, his childish face looked extremely excited. He stared at Hugo with round eyes, the excitement between his eyebrows was like a firefly flying in the night sky. Before Hugo could react, Alex asked James and Leonardo to change directions, and then the three of them carefully took small steps and started to circle in circles, which looked like a penguin, which made people laugh. In the end, Leonardo faced Hugo face-to-face, and those eyes that looked like bright stars looked at Hugo and raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong?"
Hugo looked at Leonardo's shining eyes, and the words in his mouth were blurred. He didn't remember what to say to Leonardo. In the end, I could only laugh helplessly, "It's okay, you go upstairs and be careful."
"Don't worry, we have moved upstairs several times, and all the experience has come out." Leonardo said as he blinked at James and Alex. All three of them laughed. "Come on, James. Lean back a little bit behind you so that it will be more convenient for me to pass here..."
Seeing the three people jokingly carrying the box upstairs, Hugo looked back at Samora, "Is it the same all day today?"
Samora shrugged, "Don't look at me, you don't know what the three of them are like." Among this group of people, the oldest Alex is only twenty-five years old. After speaking, he turned and walked into the kitchen, and continued, "Aren't you having a dinner date tonight, don't you plan to take a shower and change your clothes? Otherwise, you might be late."
"Oh, we changed the meeting place, it's in Malibu, so I still have some time. But...I should definitely prepare." Hugo looked at the clock on the wall before leaving. Go upstairs and prepare for the meeting tonight.
Tonight Rick arranged for Hugo to meet with M-Night-Samaran and Catherine Kennedy.
This meeting can be said to have gone through a few twists and turns. The first arrangement was to arrange a meeting with Robert Iger, but Robert took the initiative to arrange a meeting between Hugo and David Vogel. Although he didn't say it clearly, Rick guessed that Robert should have realized that Hugo had already understood many of the implications during the Oscar night-even if Hugo hadn't seen it that night, DreamWorks and Endeavour's elite brokerage company The managers are not ignorant, so Robert chose to take the initiative to push out the hidden Bowei Film Company.
But Robert's strategy did not have a slight deviation. They wanted to use the "superior sixth sense" to seek benefits, but for Endeavour's elite brokerage companies and DreamWorks, they also have their own wishful thinking. As a result, Frank Marshall and Catherine Kennedy, driven by David Geffen, took the initiative to find David Vogel and asked them to be responsible for this meeting and let them realize this time of cooperation. It was also Catherine's request to change to meet in Malibu.
It can be said that the project of "Sixth Sense of Supernatural" is entangled with the interests of the two production companies Disney and DreamWorks-of course, the premise is that Hugo is willing to take over the script. If Hugo rejects this project, even if the screenplay of "Spiritual Sixth Sense" is promising, it would not be worth the effort of Robert Iger and David Vogel-because this is a horror movie, and The investment budget is absolutely impossible to exceed 60 million.
Therefore, Hugo's opinions became the core of this exchange of interests.
After finishing the shower and leaving the room, Hugo saw at a glance that the guest room diagonally across from the master bedroom had been replaced with brand new black and white sheets, and the bookshelves and desks were also full of things, you can see that Leon Nardo is really moving! Instead of intending to stay here temporarily.
Walking to the bedroom door, "Are there any parties scheduled tonight?" Hugo asked in a loud voice.
Leonardo was flipping through the script in his hand. Hearing Hugo's voice, he turned around and raised the script in his hand to face Hugo, "This is the script you used to shoot'Yihai Xiongfeng'?" the script There are countless information recorded on it. "Yihai Xiongfeng" is Hugo's second work after the Golden Raspberry Award. At that time, he was still in the stage of imitation of acting, so he has been studying hard. The colorful handwriting on the script can be clear. See Hugo's efforts.
"Isn't this on the third floor?" Hugo asked in surprise. James raised his right hand and smiled embarrassedly, "I borrowed it to see it."
Hugo nodded, "It's okay, just remember to put it back after reading it." After finishing speaking, he looked at the room carefully, "Okay, you guys will be busy first, I have another meeting."
Leonardo only reacted at this time, "Remember to come back early after dinner. Charlize and Sandra will come over at night to have a barbecue party."
Hugo replied "I know", then went downstairs, said hello to Samora and Joseph, and left directly on foot. When leaving the door of the house, the paparazzi crowded up again, and the microphones surged up-the memory fragments from the time he went home just now surged up again, and Hugo laughed blankly.
"Hugo, are the rumors about you and Leo true?"
Hearing such a ridiculous question, Hugo wanted to explain, but he found that the matter was not so easy to explain clearly, because the root cause of Leonardo's desire to come to live was too complicated. If you just say Leonardo moved here as a friend, the media will definitely make use of it. For a while, the words that rushed to his mouth were stunned that he didn't know what to say, Hugo simply smiled and shook his head, without saying anything, squeezed past the paparazzi, and then strode away. pace.
The paparazzi were hesitant, because Hugo didn't go to the garage to drive, but walked forward on foot. Is it just jogging? But why did Hugo wear a simple suit with a shirt? It looks like a formal dress, is it to meet a friend? A friend of Malibu?
The paparazzi started to feel embarrassed in an instant. They seemed to be caught in a dilemma of not chasing, not chasing, but after hesitating, two paparazzi followed Hugo's footsteps. . Hugo naturally knew the tail behind him, but he didn't care either. Originally, today's meeting was not intended to be held in secret.
Along the wide streets of Malibu, in less than ten minutes, you can see the steak restaurant shining with blue neon lights in the distance. This French restaurant can be regarded as one of the first restaurants near Malibu. First, even in the face of the picky tastes of the upper class in Malibu, it has won a lot of praise. Now it has become one of the first choices for nearby residents who want to eat out but are unwilling to drive into the city.
When they reached the door, the waiter smiled and took the initiative to open the glass door, "Mr. Lancaster, I see you again, congratulations on your outstanding performance at the Oscars last week." Obviously Hugo is also here. As a frequent visitor, Hugo handed over a green banknote as a tip, "Thank you." Then he walked in, "I hope you enjoy a good night."
When the two paparazzi saw the restaurant that Hugo entered, they were all excited. Is there any important date for Hugo to appear here? The two couldn't help but quickly walked up, but the waiter stopped them and said with a smile, "Sorry, sir, this is a French restaurant. You need to be dressed in formal attire to enter."
They couldn't help but look down at their crumpled t-shirts, with a gloomy expression on their faces, cursing in a low voice, "Damn French!" (to be continued)
