Superstar

If Ron Meyer knew, he would reject Hugo here, and then Hugo would get help from Paul Jonger-Witt to attend the film premiere, and he would play against "Instinct." It is estimated that his complexion is definitely not much better.

　　 Originally, Joseph came down to find the address book, and then to see if there was any way he hadn't considered, but now he doesn't need it anymore. Paul's invitation letter solved the problem, which is really wonderful. Joseph took the invitation letter in Hugo's hand, opened the beautifully packaged envelope, took out the card with the black background inside, and wrote in gold font, "'Final. Analysis'?" Joseph I Time didn't think of this movie, and couldn't help looking at Carl who was standing on the opposite side.

　　 "Kim Basinger (Kim. Basinger)." Carl remembered it for a moment, said the main actor's name, and at the same time awakened Joseph's memory.

"Oh, the work with Richard Gere (Richard. Gere)!" Joseph took the conversation, and he finally remembered this film. This is a very high-profile work, no less than " instinct". But then Joseph remembered one more thing and looked at Hugo with some worry.

　　 Hugo has never heard of the movie "The Final Analysis" and knows nothing about it, but he is familiar with the two actors, Kim Basinger and Richard Gere.

Kim Basinger is the first actress in history to not only appear on the cover of "Playboy" but also receive an Oscar for the Golden Age. She quickly became known for her **** and mature temperament in the early 1980s. Knowing, she became famous, and then she dedicated her passionate performance in "Love You for Nine and a Half Weeks (9.1 / 2. Weeks. She succeeded in making a fortune in the movie circle. In 1989, she starred in Tim. -Burton (Tim. Burton) version of "Batman (Batman, achieved good results. Of course, it is the work "LA Confidential (LA. Confidential that won King an Oscar for best supporting actress for her in the annals of history. At this time, Jin Basinger, who was thirty-nine years old, seemed to be the most watched goddess-level figure in Hollywood.

Speaking of Richard Gere, this **** idol with the most explosive influence in the 1980s is clearly the top existence, from "American Gigolo" to "Officer and Gentleman (An. Officer. And). . A. Gentleman to "Beautiful Lady in Wind and Moon", all made him a glamorous man in Hollywood.

　　 However, compared to Kim Basinger's global popularity of the **** bomb image, Hugo's biggest recognition of Richard Gere is that this is a Tibetan. alone. As a philanthropist, Richard has repeatedly issued counters in public. magnificent. The remarks made it difficult for Hugo to have a positive impression of him.

　　 Hugo doesn't know what will happen at the premiere by then. If he is somehow hostile to Richard, the scene would be strange, not to mention his current appearance is still a completely white man.

　　 Hugo is thinking about the situation of the premiere here, but Joseph's eyes are a little more worried, "Hugo, are you at the premiere, are you okay?"

　　 Hugo was surprised and couldn't help wondering: Did Joseph see his rejection and disdain for Richard so quickly? It's impossible. He didn't say anything. Hugo asked calmly, "What's wrong, what's the matter?"

　　 Joseph thought for a while, but decided to tell the truth, "Uma also appeared in this movie."

"Uh... Uma. Thurman?" Hugo's answer was cautious, because Joseph's attitude seemed to tell Hugo: something unpleasant happened between him and Uma. Could it be that they had been Co-operated in movies?

Uma Thurman has never been popular in Hollywood, but her masterpieces have always been talked about by people, "Pulp. Fiction", "Kill. Bill", "The Avengers" (The. Avengers)” and so on, so that she has always had a place among Hollywood actresses, and she has the fatal charm of the oriental mystery, exuding unglaring but dazzling appeal.

　　 Of course, Uma is still just a fledgling new actress. Hugo doesn't remember that his predecessor and Uma had collaborated in movies. But Joseph's expression clearly expressed: There is something tricky in it! So Hugo had to carefully consider his tone, "I have no problem, I think it's all in the past."

　　 Hugo thought about it carefully, and then added, "Furthermore, this is just work. It must be professional, isn't it? Paul's invitation letter is so difficult to come by, we naturally can't miss it."

　　 Joseph carefully looked at Hugo's calm face and made sure that Hugo was not lying, and then nodded. Hugo couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat, but after dealing with Joseph, what should he do when he really sees Uma? Hugo really didn't know what happened between them, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. It is estimated that they can only see tricks.

"Since you have decided to attend the premiere, you have to buy two sets of clothes." Although Joseph is nominally an agent, now he almost has multiple jobs, including Hugo stylist and assistant. It must be supervised by him, but fortunately, at present Joseph is also an artist like Hugo, so the work is not too heavy.

　　 Hugo did not respond for a while, "Aren't there a lot of new clothes in the closet?" Hugo thought about it carefully, "I only wore the same outfit that I attended the Golden Raspberry Award last time."

　　 As soon as the words came out, Joseph immediately looked at Hugo dumbly, and Carl next to him cast his sights like an alien.

"Hugo, this is Hollywood." Joseph said simply. Hugo did not answer. He vaguely realized that he seemed to have made a common-sense mistake just now. If he speaks again, he will probably reveal the fact that he knows little about the Hollywood industry. Up. "If you wear the same outfit and appear on two different public occasions, it is estimated that the headline of the newspaper tomorrow will say that you are down."

　　 Hugo understood immediately, he had seen this a lot when he was watching the news before. In the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, every appearance has countless pairs of eyes staring at you. From hairstyle to clothing, from makeup to accessories, from female partner to partner, will become the focus of flash scrutiny. It is very scary to appear in two different public occasions in the same suit, or to collide with other artists. This is especially true for female artists, and the requirements are very strict. Relatively speaking, the conditions for male artists have been relaxed a lot, but this principle will not change in essence. Not to mention that on large-scale occasions such as Oscars or premieres, every pore of an artist will be placed under a microscope for observation.

　　 This is not to blame for Hugo Oolong. When they were glorious to death in various small performances, there were no stage costumes, all of them were private costumes, but the dressing was more grand. Any set of clothes is worn and worn, there is no such concept in Hollywood at all.

Judging from the current situation of Hugo, the aftermath of the Golden Raspberry Award is still there. "Scent of a Woman" has not yet been released, and it is temporarily in a state of leisure... This in itself is countless handles waiting for reporters to pick it up. If it is discovered that Hugo is wearing again The outfit of the Golden Raspberry Award attended the premiere of "The Final Analysis". It is estimated that there must be a group of people watching the jokes.

　　 Joseph looked at Hugo, who was ignorant, and he hated iron and steel. He greeted Karl, and then left the company with Hugo, ready to go shopping.

　　 "But, aren't our funds very tight now?" Hugo has no vendors willing to sponsor him, so any investment must be paid for by himself. Not long ago, Hugo checked his bank account. There was only less than two thousand dollars in it. It seems to be a lot, but everything costs money, and Hugo has no work for a while, so he has to pay more. Tighten your waistband.

　　 Joseph’s concept of financial management is obviously clearer than that of Hugo, “Don’t worry, the salary for'Smelling Scents and Knowing Women' will come in today.”

　　 "Really?" Hugo's eyes lit up immediately. This was his first income after crossing over. To put it ugly, it was also his first official income after running away from home at the age of fifteen.

The personal income tax that needs to be paid here in the United States is not very detailed by Hugo, but according to his income grade~www.novelmt.com~ he must pay 36% of the personal income tax, but this also has to go through the tax allowance. With the standard deduction plus the progressive tax rate, the final personal income tax that Hugo needs to pay is almost 15%. After paying taxes, he still needs to pay a 10% rake to Joseph and the brokerage company. The final salary in Hugo's hands will be about 380,000 US dollars. The specific figures need to be accurate after Joseph handed over to the accountant for calculation. .

　　 Three hundred eighty thousand U.S. dollars, which is too important for Hugo in trouble.

"We need to make some soft investments. Buying clothes is only the first step." Joseph knew the day when the pay was paid, and he started to make calculations for Hugo's future life. "Then you also need to find a new house. "

　　 "Do you want to move?" Although the environment of Joseph's current residence is really terrible, after all, this is the place that Hugo is most familiar with after crossing over, so the first reaction is still a little bit dissatisfied.

Joseph chuckled slightly, "Of course, you have to move, and I also need to move." The current residence is just a stopgap measure. Although they still don't have enough capital to buy a house or live in a high-end residence, they need to change to a safer and cleaner residence. It is also very necessary.

　　 Hugo quickly figured this out. Living in the current place is not a long-term solution. Moving is inevitable, so he nodded and did not continue to struggle with this. But soon Hugo's cheerful mood calmed down. What was the costume of the early nineties? Especially men's clothing, it seems that it is far from the aesthetics of 2014, this...

　　 Buying clothes does not seem to be a pleasure, but a torment.
