Chapter 137: Re-launch propaganda

Objectively speaking, Charlize’s black pepper roast chicken tastes very good, but it was too spicy and too choking, which caused poor sales. It became the biggest highlight of Thanksgiving in 1992, even if it was Carl’s wonderful hand. Yan's braised lamb chops did not take away Charlize's elegance.

On the second day of Thanksgiving Day, Alex came back first, and Hugo and Charlize also ended the three nights of the "two-person world" and returned to the balance of three people, which made the two people secretly relax. In a sigh of relief. Joseph didn't come back until Saturday, his face was full of scum and his tiredness was clearly written, and his heavy dark circles made his icy blue eyes lose their luster.

Although Hugo was also curious about what happened to Joseph at home and what the one million dollars was for, he also knew that this was Joseph's family affair. If Joseph didn't want to say it, he had better not ask. This has nothing to do with the depth of friendship, even the best friend to "make" friends should be so, because for everyone, family is a special existence, if he wants to tell you, he will not hide it; on the contrary, If he doesn't want to say it, even a confidant may not say a word. Therefore, Hugo didn't ask anything, just asked Joseph if the road was going well and if everything was going well, nothing more.

As soon as Thanksgiving is over, the pace of December comes to my side, the release schedule of "Yihai Xiongfeng" is approaching immediately, and Hugo and Joseph are busy again.

Different from the "Smell the Fragrance and Meet the'Female" People" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" who chose to start from the click show, they chose to release on a large scale in 1,900 theaters. Obviously, they wanted to make a difference in the box office-this is also the case at the time. The reason for choosing Tom Cruise, now that the actor has been replaced by Hugo, Columbia Pictures is naturally more nervous and cautious. Therefore, before the movie was released, a series of pre-heating promotions were arranged. Hugo took the heavy responsibility of the box office for the premiere to board various shows, hoping to get a good start.

On Monday, Joseph drove Hugo to Burbank's studio again to participate in the recording of the "Tonight Show".

After Hugo recorded the "Tonight Show" last time, the ratings have achieved very good results. The show, which was broadcast at 11:35 at night, received 4.8 million viewers, not only at the same time. Duan’s ratings champion, and also became the "Tonight Show" in November with the highest ratings. It can be seen that people are full of interest in the ups and downs of Hugo's career as an actor.

The car slowly drove into the parking lot. Hugo’s parking space has been arranged here-the guest parking space specially arranged by the door according to the recording time of the show, so Joseph didn’t have to spend any effort to park the car. Just as Hugo unfastened his seat belt, Joseph spoke, "Hugo, I did not go back to Houston this time."

Joseph hesitated for a long time, even after he came back to Los Angeles this time, he hesitated, including hesitating before speaking, he was not sure whether he should tell the truth with Hugo, because this was a matter in his own family. Joseph has always convinced himself that he and Hugo are only working partners. There is no need to confide in each other about personal ‘private’ matters. Hugo has never mentioned anything about the family, and this is also true of him. But in the end Joseph failed.

When he suddenly wanted to borrow money, Hugo nodded without any hesitation. When he turned and left, Hugo didn’t ask himself the reason, nor did he pursue it. When he delayed returning, Hugo not only I didn’t worry about taking the money to run away, and I didn’t care about my family affairs, but I gave myself enough trust... This is one million dollars, and Joseph knows that Hugo’s trust is far more than one million. To be more profound.

So Joseph spoke, even if he still didn't want to talk more, but he knew that he should give Hugo an answer. After speaking the first sentence, Joseph saw Hugo cast a surprised look, "What about Thanksgiving?" This was Hugo's first reaction. He did not ask Joseph why he lied to go back to Houston, nor did he. Asking Joseph what to do, just caring about Thanksgiving.

Joseph'Lu' gave a wry smile, "I went to Las Vegas (las. vegas)." This is a casino, and the situation seems to have become clearer, "Have I mentioned my brother Peter to you?" Rain Guo Sui nodded'confused' without saying a word. This made Joseph take a deep breath, and finished the rest of the words in one breath, "He lost a lot of money in Las Vegas and was suppressed by the local forces. I am. My father couldn't figure out a way, so he called me."

Although Joseph only said the beginning and saw that beginning again, Hugo can basically describe the following story clearly, gambling and poisoning. The same as addiction, once infected, it is difficult to get rid of it. In severe cases, it can also lead to family destruction. Hugo didn't know the specific situation of Joseph's family, but occasionally he heard Joseph mention that the family always had infinite nostalgia, so it is not surprising that Joseph had to ask Hugo for help for his brother.

After the end of Thanksgiving, Joseph was delayed for two days before returning. It seems that Peter's matter was so tricky that it took some time for Joseph to deal with it. Hugo had many thoughts in his mind, and then he sighed slightly. The fetters of family can make people happy, but it can also make people helpless, "Is that all solved now?"

Joseph ‘kneaded’ his own temple and nodded, "Well, it’s all solved."

"That's good." Hugo patted Joseph on the shoulder and fell silent. He didn't know what to say, because this was the first time he and Joseph mentioned the'private' matter at home, although Joseph suggested that Yu Guo called home, but Joseph never asked about the effect of the call. So today’s conversation made Hugo a little stranger. He didn’t know whether he should express his care like a good friend, or just let it. So far the matter will be resolved by Joseph himself.

Hugo took a deep breath, "So, let's start preparing for today's work." Hugo guessed that Joseph should want to thank himself, but in fact, for Hugo, he didn't have much real feelings, but just a part of the bank account. It's just a string of numbers, and there is still no string of numbers to cover the heat, so this busyness is just a matter of hand.

Sure enough, Joseph stopped Hugo, "Hugo, thank you." Joseph expressed his true feelings again, not only thanking Hugo for willing to lend him the money, but also thanking Hugo for his trust in him. "I will find a way to return this money to you as soon as possible."

"Hey, man, don't deceive me." Hugo said with a smile, making Joseph stunned. "You know you can't give it back to me'as soon as possible'." With the'draw' of Joseph's agent, I thought It is indeed a very difficult task to raise one million in a short time. Hugo's frankness made Joseph laugh at once, "So, you have to work harder, and then pray that I can find more and better jobs, maybe the progress will be much faster."

Joseph knew that Hugo was telling the truth, and he was comforting himself. Joseph let out a long sigh and nodded, "Then what are you doing in the car? Don't be late for today's work! Give me work hard!" It's rare to make a little joke with Hugo, squeezing his fist while talking, just like an evil capitalist exploiting the hard-earned money of workers.

Hugo narrowed his smile, showed a trembling expression, and opened the car's door in a panic, "Yes, yes, sir, I'll go to work right away." After getting off the car, she stumbled all the way to the elevator. He walked in the direction, and Joseph walked quickly behind him, causing the idlers in the parking lot to look at him frequently.

Walking into the dressing room, many staff members stepped forward to greet Hugo initiatively. This was a treatment that they didn’t have when I came here last time. It can be seen that the show’s excellent ratings have made the staff feel good about Hugo’s arrival. It was very welcome. Even the host, Jay Leno, ran over in person and gave Hugo a big hug, "I didn't expect to meet again so soon, so what's your state today?"

Jie hadn't changed into a suit at this time. He was wearing a simple shirt and holding a bag of potato chips. He looked like the uncle next door, except that his chin was really eye-catching. Hugo said with a smile, "Very well, everything is fine, especially seeing this familiar jaw suddenly makes me feel like going home..."

Jie’s jaw is called prognathism, and it has become one of his signs. “This is a heavy weapon and must be treated with care.” As a comedian, Jie’s self-deprecating level is admirable, and the dressing room burst into laughter. stand up. "How about it, are there any taboo topics in the promotion today?"

Jie’s question made Hugo look at Joseph quite unexpectedly. He didn’t understand why Jie would bring up such a topic at this moment, because as far as Hugo knows, there are indeed some big stars in the entertainment circle that prohibit chatting when they show up. Such topics as scandals, such as scandals, but this kind of situation is more common in Asia, and it is rare in the more open speech environment in Europe and America. Moreover, Hugo did not get any hint from Joseph After confirming that Joseph was also confused, Hugo smiled and looked at Jie, "I hope you don’t mention that I went to the bathroom today in the wrong direction. This embarrassment will be a huge blow to my popularity among the'women' group."

Hugo’s solemn ‘confession’ made the makeup artist next to him not hold back, and he burst out laughing, drooling all over Jie’s right arm, and the situation immediately lost control. Jie squinted his eyes and said to the makeup artist, "I think you need to find some hot water to wash my shirt on the spot, otherwise I won't have any clothes on the show." A joke resolved this embarrassment, and then Jie looked at Hugo again and said, "That’s good. Compared to some people who obviously like men, they must declare that they are a normal married heterosexual and they are not allowed to discuss it on the show. But it’s too embarrassing. Especially when I see his lotus "hua" finger, it is difficult for me to control my thoughts of asking questions. This is really tormenting."

Jie satirized who this person is, "Fortunately,'Yihai Xiongfeng' is your work." Jie added, and then said with a smile, "I have to find an iron, otherwise I won't be able to catch up. It's live broadcast, see you later."

As Jie left, Hugo and Joseph looked at each other. Is the person Jie satirizing... Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt?
