Superstar
Chapter 58: New roommate
Hugo’s move was not difficult. Even if he and Joseph’s luggage were added together, they would only be moved in one trip. However, because there is only one mattress belonging to Hugo in the new home, there is not even a hanger for hanging clothes. So purchasing basic daily necessities is the most troublesome thing.
"I thought you would continue to share with me. Wouldn't it be more convenient to work?" Hugo originally thought that Joseph had found a three-bedroom and two-living apartment, but planned to continue to share. After all, Joseph's current situation is worse than Hugo. It is clear how much Hugo his rake is.
But unexpectedly, Joseph didn't live with Hugo. He rented another room on the fourth floor of Hugo's house, which was also a three-bedroom and two-bedroom house, which seemed a bit confusing. "Or, do you plan to move to live with your girlfriend?" Hugo suddenly thought of this possibility and couldn't help asking directly.
Joseph was dumbfounded by Hugo's words, "It's not that complicated. Carl is in a bad situation now, you know, no one in the company is willing to help him, he can't pay the rent for next month. I just want it. When he moved, he moved together. When he comes here, he can barely afford the rent for the first two months. If it is not enough, I will pay for it temporarily and let him return it to me later."
Because the house here does not have any furniture, the monthly rent is 1,500 US dollars, and the average price for three people is 500 US dollars. However, on the third floor where Hugo is located, Hugo is currently only the second tenant, so after moving in, he needs to pay a rent of $750, until the third person moves in; on the contrary, all three rooms on the fourth floor where Joseph is. It can be considered to lighten Carl's burden if it is full.
Karl Earl, Hugo sighed when he remembered the way he sat in the position doing nothing the last time he went to the company. It's not that Carl doesn't work hard, on the contrary, he is a very good agent, but he just didn't find a suitable opportunity for him. If he can, Carl does not want to stay in the company in a daze, he is more willing to go out and seek opportunities.
Hugo suddenly thought of Charlize again. He hasn't called the other party anymore in the past few days. Since he has made at least eight calls before and after, and has not been able to contact the other party, maybe he has no fate, so why continue to force it. After all, this is Hollywood. Although Hugo has a good impression of Charlize, it is only a good impression, not to mention love, not to mention love, because they have not enough time to communicate and develop.
If Charlize can sign a contract with Karl, it might be a good cooperation. Hugo thought of it purely from the standpoint of a friend.
"Furthermore, it was said when this apartment was rented that the co-tenant must be an actor, because the person living here is an actor. The landlord thinks that a group of colleagues living here is easier to manage and reduce some disputes." Joseph Adding to that, this is not unusual.
The most indispensable thing in Los Angeles is actors, but there are not only actors here, but also people from various industries. Actors have unstable working hours and unstable life patterns because of their professional specialties. If they are related to other industries-special It's 9 to 5 people sharing rent together, which has an impact on both parties. So if you share an actor together, you can reduce a lot of trouble. Peaceful co-existence among co-tenants is naturally good news for the landlord.
Joseph did not share the rent with Hugo for these reasons. Instead, he lived upstairs. Since the distance is so close, work will not be too troublesome.
Hugo looked at the first room on the left. The door of the room was still wide open, and no one was seen. "It seems that he either has a job or went for an interview. Otherwise, he didn't see it twice. He." Hugo has not seen his future roommate yet, so he moved in directly. I don't know what kind of person it is. It is difficult to make a judgement just from the orangutan boxer shorts.
"I'll always see it anyway..." Hugo held his box and walked towards the room on the left hand side. But after only two steps, another dizziness hit his head, and Hugo stood there shaking. After two clicks, the box in his hand was smashed directly, and Hugo directly began to retching.
Joseph, who was standing behind pulling the suitcase, heard the sound of the suitcase falling, and as soon as he turned his head he saw the figure of Hugo bending over. He walked up quickly and slowly helped Hugo to sit down on the sofa. , Looked at Hugo worriedly.
Joseph knew that this was still at fault with the withdrawal reaction. In fact, during the filming of "Scent of a Woman", Hugo still suffered four times of withdrawal reaction, but fortunately three times were in the room at night, only once was on the set and was forced to interrupt. Shoot. Fortunately, withdrawal is accompanied by staying away from poison. The extension of the quality time will gradually weaken. When Hugo reacted on the set, it was not serious, and it did not affect the process of the crew, and soon passed the difficult time.
The most important reason why Joseph saw Hugo admiringly was Hugo's firmness and perseverance in coping with withdrawal. This shows that Hugo resisted poison. Unshakable determination of the product. Hugo kept away from the poison step by step with his persistence. Pin, the withdrawal response has also become weaker and weaker. Now two months have passed, and Hugo has been unresponsive for more than a week before and after Hugo. Who knows that there was a sudden attack today.
Thinking about it carefully, Joseph only remembered, even if he was completely free from poison. The withdrawal reaction should last at least three months, and in severe cases, it can last for six months. Hugo wants to completely defeat poison. Products, obviously there is still a long way to go.
Hugo overcame the stomach cramps and the cold sweat all over, and finally recovered gradually. At this time, the withdrawal reaction is no longer so serious. You only need to sit down and rest for a while to persevere, but you will feel fatigued afterwards. Hugo leaned weakly on the back of the sofa, exhaling slowly, no matter how hard he was, he would persist and be poisonous. Pin him is determined not to touch!
Joseph looked at the glittering sweat on Hugo’s forehead, stood up silently, and poured a glass of pure water, but after thinking about it, it seemed that drinking warm water was more appropriate at this time, so he poured the water and looked around in the kitchen. When I got up, I finally found a kettle in the closet. I cleaned it briefly, filled it with water, and put it on the stove.
"Are you sure you are okay?" Joseph didn't hold back after all, standing in the kitchen, and asked in a loud voice.
Hugo sat in the hall, chuckled, and the corners of his mouth were drawn wearily. It was strange to hear Joseph's voice and there was an echo. This feeling was very strange. Only then did he have the real sense of moving to a new house. Now, what can be done." After the first three most serious cases, after going through it, everything is not so difficult. Even in the process of filming "Scent of a Woman", Hugo persisted.
Hearing Hugo's weak but sunny voice, Joseph stood in the kitchen watching the flames licking the kettle, and let out a long breath.
"Hey, buddy, you're here." An unfamiliar voice came from the hall, tired but full of vitality, the slightly high tone even with a hint of excitement, "Oh, God, you are Hugo-Lan Castor! The landlord didn't tell me that you are the one who rents the house!"
Joseph came out of the kitchen and saw a young man standing next to the sofa jumping and jumping, while Hugo was still weakly leaning on the sofa. He looked at the young man like this, and he felt that Hugo was watching. Circus show. The young man is slender, not six feet tall, but at least five feet ten inches (1.78 meters), with very three-dimensional features but slightly rounded features, plus the flowing curly hair, although not handsome and handsome. , But there are some French chic demeanor.
"Oh my god, my god, my god..." The young man couldn't restrain his excitement. The rapid breathing even made people wonder if he would faint in the next moment. This looks like only when fans see an idol. Can get the most reasonable explanation, otherwise it will be a love rival meeting, "Jesus, my new roommate is Hugo Lancaster, this is really incredible, oh god!"
"If I didn't guess wrong, you are Alexander!" Hugo felt that the scene seemed a little out of control, so he frowned and raised the corners of his mouth, raising his voice to ask. Hugo learned from the landlord that his roommate's name was Alexander Lorraine, a twenty-year-old young man.
"Please call me Alex, please!" Alexander clasped his hands together, still looking overwhelmed with excitement. Hugo seemed to see the crystal tears in his eyes, which made Hugo a little unclear. : Is there something wrong here?
Joseph had already walked over quickly, "Hello, I’m Joseph, Hugo’s agent."
Alex nodded again and again, the tears in his eyes were really about to fall, "This is really great, great." He looked at Hugo excitedly with those teary eyes, "Dear Hugo, I really really like you so much. I have seen all the works you starred in, such as "Small Restaurant", "Dune", "Death Poetry Society", "Hudson Eagle"... I really I like your performance very much. I think you are an acting genius. You have contributed outstanding acting skills in every movie. Trust me, I’m serious. Even in'Hard In Forest Eagle, you are just as good. If it weren’t for this terrible script and terrible director, the movie would surely be a big seller.”
It turns out that Hugo also encountered his own fans, which is very surprising. First, the other party is a boy, secondly, the other party is an actor, and again, the other party is his new roommate. This situation is indeed intriguing.
"Including ‘Quicksilver’?" Joseph also seemed to be a little disbelieved, still asking.
"Yes, including ‘Silver Quick Hand’! And ‘The Chocolate War (The Chocolate War)’." Alex said directly without any hesitation, which surprised Joseph.
Joseph looked at Hugo, pouted and nodded, as if to say: Yes, he is your true fan.
Hugo felt it too, because even he himself didn't know what works his predecessor appeared in, and Alex could be so precious. This ability is not easy. In particular, Alex is so convinced of "Hudson's Eagle", and it can be seen his admiration.
"Uh, what should I say? It would be great if you were a film critic?" Hugo's slightly upward tone was full of uncertainty, but the slightly ridiculous tone did make Joseph and Alex both haha. Laughed.
Alex also seemed to be aware of his gaffe. He shook his head quickly, "Oh, Hugo, I like girls. Don't worry, this is true."
"Hahahaha..." Hugo is really happy this time.
