Chapter 246： Critical 1

Watching Ernst, who was irritable but trying to pretend to be okay, returned to the room. Hugo laughed loudly. He was really happy. The hearty laughter echoed in the stairwell, making him stand already. The Ernst back muscles in the room stiffened directly, and his temper became more grumpy.

Hugo stood up, patted his ‘trousers’, and walked downstairs carrying the trash, frankly throwing away the trash. As Ernst just said, he should learn to recognize the meaning behind the media's remarks. Is praise really praise? Is the condemnation really condemned again? Just like this time, it is obvious that the media is constantly discussing it to gain focus, and most of the content of the discussion is fake. Hugo knows that he is not playing a big name. This is the most important thing.

Therefore, Hugo does not need to be afraid of these media at all. On the contrary, they will stay at the door of their home just to win first-hand news. From another perspective, they are begging to themselves, and they seem to be forced to hide. It's even more absurd.

When Hugo came downstairs, the group of paparazzi swarmed up. When they saw them, Hugo’s first reaction was to turn around and flee. The nightmare memory during this period is too deep. But Hugo tried his best to resist his fear and threw the garbage away. Then, facing the siege of the paparazzi, Hugo muttered "This is a bunch of crows" in his heart, and he calmed down a bit and waited to leave the paparazzi. After encircling the circle, Hugo fluttered and smiled instead.

Looking at the group of unknown crows behind him, Hugo knew that this was at least the beginning, and stopped at the door of Ernst's house. He hesitated, and shouted, "Ernst, thank you!" After that, after waiting for a while, I still didn't get any response, but Hugo didn't mind, and walked back to the third floor with no heavy steps.

Opening the door of the room, Hugo saw Alex sitting on the sofa and reading the script. Recently, Alex received a guest role in the role of ‘Lose’, which made him very excited and motivated. "Hey, Alex, do you know who Ernst is on the second floor?"

"What do you mean?" Alex raised his head and looked at Hugo suspiciously. "He is Ernst."

"No, I mean, what did he do before, you know, he always needs funds to maintain basic living expenses, right? The subsistence allowance cannot allow him to live here." As far as Hugo knows, Ernst is They live by themselves, unlike the three of them sharing the rent.

Alex then came to understand, "Oh, I don't know, he was there when I moved in, and he and I didn't have any'intersection'." Alex spread his hands and said that he couldn't help." What's wrong? Why are you so curious about him suddenly?"

"No, it's just that I had a'friend' with him just now, and I always felt..." Hugo thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Forget it, nothing, I just think he is full of wisdom."

Alex couldn't help laughing. "I think only you dare to talk to him." Remembering Ernst's bad temper, Hugo also agreed, and Alex added, "But I have lived so much and experienced so many things. There are always gifts of years left, right?"

"So, what did you say to Ernst just now? When I went downstairs, I saw you sitting on the steps and talking smoothly." Joseph's voice came from the direction of the restaurant.

As soon as Hugo turned his head, he saw Joseph and Carl sitting in the dining room, and Charlize quickly disappearing in the kitchen. Hugo only saw Charlize's back, "No, Ernst just told me. What he thinks of the reporters outside." Hugo walked to the table and planned to pour himself a cup of coffee. Carl took the initiative to bring the coffee pot from the sink. Hugo nodded and thanked him," he said. It's the crow..."

Hugo said with a smile, but he saw Charlize's slightly cramped back in the kitchen. Hugo didn't think much about it. He thought Charlize was sorting the cabinets again, but when he retracted his gaze, It was discovered that Joseph and Carl's eyes had been dragging towards Charlize, a little nervous and flustered, which made Hugo subconsciously turn his head and look at the kitchen.

"Hey, Hugo, what the **** did Ernst say? How could he think... well, want to chat with you?" Joseph quickly interrupted Hugo's movements, trying to attract his attention.

Hugo did as Joseph wished. He indeed turned his head to look at Joseph, but he noticed the tension and rush in Joseph's words, which made Hugo's action of holding up the coffee cup pause a bit, frowning and looking at it. To Joseph.

Although Hugo and Joseph are not considered friends who have known each other for many years, they have been together for a year. They have been slandering Joseph's serious and cautious **** from the beginning, and now they are hard-hearted and soft towards Joseph. Sexuality couldn’t be better understood. Hugo soon discovered something wrong with Joseph. "Joe, did you know that you had two hiccups just now?" Joseph hiccups when he gets too nervous, but it’s not obvious. He can do well. To conceal this, only those who are really familiar with it will notice it.

Joseph's eyes flusteredly avoided Hugo's gaze.

Hugo turned his head to look at the kitchen in an instant. Charlize had already turned around, arranging his sleeves consciously, and then pretending to be a calm smile on Hugo's face. Hugo just looked at Charlize like this, frowning his brows, and those amber eyes were fixed on Charlize's face motionlessly.

Charlize tried hard to pretend to be calm, but she soon failed. She cast her eyes away diagonally upward in embarrassment. Hugo knew that this was Charlize's typical behavior when evading problems. She didn't want to vent.' Expose your inner emotions, so avoid eye contact.

Hugo glanced over Charlize, Carl and Joseph one by one, "So, you are going to say it yourself, or I will check it myself, I know that Charlize has hidden things in the cupboard." Charlize is one of them. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but she just put a bunch of things in the cupboard in a mess, which is obviously abnormal. At this moment Alex also came over, and Hugo noticed that there was someone behind him, and immediately turned his head and looked over, "You have a share too?"

Alex smiled awkwardly, then walked to the table and shrugged helplessly to Joseph and others, "I said Hugo would find it." Then Alex felt Hugo's pair. The gentle but unignorable eyes, it was clear that Hugo's eyes didn't have any serious, sharp emotions, but Alex couldn't look at him at all, "Hey, I just didn't expect it to be so fast." Alex did it. He laughed happily, and said flatly.

Charlize chose to give up. She let go of her tight shoulders and said, "Okay." Desperately walked to the kitchen, opened the cupboard and took out a newspaper.

"Charlize!" Joseph said with a worried face, and his words stopped.

Charlize held it in his hand, "Joe, Hugo is not a child. He has to face this all the time, and it is impossible for us to replace him." Charlize also looked worried, but she still looked at it persistently. Joseph. Carl sitting in the middle sighed, "Joe, Charlize is right, Hugo is qualified to know about this."

Facing this result, Joseph looked at Hugo, his eyes filled with helplessness and confusion, but he finally nodded dejectedly.

"What?" Hugo was at a loss. He saw the newspaper in Charlize's hand. It was the "San Francisco Chronicle". "Is there any new news?" Hugo thought about the news in the newspapers this week. Disturbing, and then thinking about his decadence just now, he thought, it is probably his own sluggishness that made friends worry.

Hugo took the newspaper, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have figured it out. Joe has exhausted all kinds of contacts during this period. The situation is not bad now, is it? At least? Without accusing me on the ground, I can still see a lot of reports that speak for me.” Hugo tried to speak relaxedly, trying to enliven the atmosphere, but the four friends in front of him still looked difficult.

Carl looked around and said to Hugo, "In the sixth edition."

Hugo lowered his head and opened the newspaper, opened the sixth page, but did not read his own news. The bold letters of the name "Hugo Lancaster" Hugo had been familiar with recently, but he did not. See. Hugo was about to ask "what's going on", but his eyes fell on the news in the upper left corner, and his expression was frozen on his cheeks, and his body movements were fixed at this moment.

In front of the news headline, "Uma Thurman teamed up with Sidney-'Po' Luck?" Hugo's eyes moved down, and a short news article was quickly read. According to the news, the "sugar-coated trap" has made breakthroughs in the selection of the deadlocked "female" protagonist. Uma is likely to join forces with Sidney to become the "female" protagonist of this new movie. At the end, the news also stated that the most promising actor is Brad Pitt. The negotiation has entered the contract stage. If it takes place, then the combination of Brad and Uma's handsome boy and beautiful'woman' is bound to be. Add a lot of brilliance to this masterpiece.

From any point of view, this is just a piece of ordinary news, and it is not comparable to the big-name suspicion that has been raging recently. Therefore, the space occupied by it is not large, but it is this small space that has become this. The most important message of the "San Francisco Chronicle".

No wonder everyone is worried about Hugo seeing this news, because this news is not only as simple as Uma becoming the protagonist of the "sugar-coated trap" "female", but also connects all the clues together things It doesn't matter whether it should start from the New Year's Eve, or start from the "sugar-coated trap" invitation being interfered with. From the time Anthony ‘inflamed’ Hugo and triggered the beating incident, this has been an interlocking trap.

The invitation of "Death End" made Joseph and Arnold stand in the corner and have a conversation. Even if Hugo didn't go there, there must be other ways to let Hugo go. For example, Uma, Hugo vaguely remembered. It was Uma who mentioned Joseph at the beginning, which reminded Hugo that he should go to Joseph; then Arnold left and Anthony appeared on the scene, but Arnold arranged the audition at ten o'clock in the morning of the next day because they knew about Anthony’s press conference. It was scheduled at half past nine. Even if Hugo was not late for the "Death of the Dead" audition, Arnold had a good reason to reject Hugo; after that, it was the big-name rumors that put Hugo in a bad situation.

If it wasn't for Hugo to take the initiative to destroy the plan, then it would be plagiarism, and it would be a bottomless abyss to greet Hugo. The conclusion to this whole strategy must be Uma's "betrayal", career failure, and emotional alienation, which will definitely put Hugo in a more terrifying and worse situation than a year ago.

Tracy should be triumphantly waiting for the spectacular scene of Hugo's collapse at this time.
