Chapter 294: Walking New York

When Hugo walked out of the dressing room, he saw that the five bodyguards at the door were still standing on the spot with due diligence. They all cast their sights on Hugo. They were obviously wary of every move that might occur at any time. After the visitor was Hugo, they turned their heads back with a straight face, but Hugo unexpectedly discovered that Catherine Hepburn’s bodyguard looked at Hugo twice, and when Hugo looked towards him, he still Hugo gave a friendly look.

However, Hugo didn't have time to figure out the reason. He soon saw Joseph with a tired face approaching him. Hugo looked at Joseph in confusion. Did Joseph go for a long run just now? Joseph originally wanted to ask about the situation, but after thinking about it, there are people standing here "monitoring" and the conversation is inconvenient, so he finally slowed down and asked, "How is it?"

"Oh, let's leave first. Michael and Catherine need to stay for a while." Hugo still looked at Joseph with doubts and said, and then nodded and said hello to several bodyguards, regardless of whether others gave it or not. In response, the basic etiquette was still needed, and then Hugo and Joseph walked out to the passage where they came.

After the turn, Hugo frowned and looked at Joseph, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so tired?"

"You stand outside for half an hour and have a look." Joseph said grimly, which made Hugo suddenly realize.

Unexpectedly, Hugo actually stayed in the dressing room for half an hour. The happy time was like sand between his fingers, and he couldn't notice its passing at all. Joseph's body was originally strong, and he usually sits in the office. Suddenly asking him to "stop" for half an hour, naturally made him miserable.

In this way, the reason why Catherine's bodyguard was willing to show her kindness to Hugo was because Hugo was able to talk with Catherine for long enough, which made him feel the friendship between Catherine and Hugo.

There was a flash of thought in Hugo's mind, and he heard Joseph continue to say, "Those bodyguards, all of them are like I owe them money, without saying a word. I originally wanted to inquire about the assistant, The situation in the bodyguard industry, unfortunately, turned out to be that I was talking there by myself... I was really depressed."

Imagine that Joseph, who is usually serious and reticent, has become a chatterer. Then how deserted this scene can be to draw an outline, and Hugo will laugh at it, "The internal situation of these industries, they don’t necessarily know how. To be honest with you, it is more reasonable for you to find a professional company."

Joseph shook his head helplessly. Obviously, he still couldn't bear to look back for the half hour just now. "Of course I know this. I just want to see what they think. You know, those intermediaries said that the "flowers" are falling. But it is not as true as the person’s own opinions."

This is the truth. "However, I don't need a bodyguard now. As for the assistant, I guess I'm not in a hurry now." Hugo said with a smile.

Before, Joseph was anxious to find assistants and managers for Hugo, but after a series of events after the Golden Globe Awards, these things were temporarily shelved. Joseph was still in charge of Hugo alone. On the contrary, Carl gets busy because of the increased work of Alex and Charlize. It is worth mentioning that at the end of February, Alex officially signed an agent contract with Carl. It is no longer in the form of friend help. Alex has also become an artist under Carl.

Joseph took a look at Hugo and after confirming that he was not depressed, he mumbled, "The future is always needed, and I can't always keep ignorant." Because Hugo was the first artist that Joseph officially took over. , So he crosses the river by'feeling' the stones in everything, and now more contact with the necessary skills of some agents is also good for his future career development.

"Oh, yes, this is for you." Hugo carefully took the facial tissue out of his jacket pocket and handed it to Joseph.

Joseph took the tissue and asked with a question mark, "I don't have a cold..." But his words then disappeared in his throat. After seeing the signature on the tissue, Joseph even stopped.

Joseph never said that Catherine Hepburn was the biggest reason for him to become an agent. He was not only an admiration for Catherine, but also an admiration. He admired Catherine as a'female' throughout the history of Hollywood movies. Catherine has opened up a piece of her own world, and Catherine’s dedication and freedom of love are admirable, not to mention that Catherine, as an outstanding artist, has dedicated her life to the stage. All this makes Catherine became the existence that Joseph looked up to.

Therefore, when I saw Catherine perform up close today, Joseph was so excited that he couldn't move himself. Although it was a pity that Joseph could not communicate with Catherine face to face in the end, the gift in his hand made up for this pity to some extent.

Joseph raised his eyes and looked at Hugo’s back—after Hugo handed the gift to Joseph, he did not stop, but walked forward at a constant pace—Joseph never told Hugo his true inner thoughts. But Hugo still brought himself this very meaningful gift, and Joseph's inner surging can be imagined.

He lowered his head, carefully folded the facial tissue, and put it in his jacket pocket. Then Joseph ran after him. But walking beside Hugo, Joseph did not say anything sensationally. The gratitude between friends did not need to be expressed in words. He tried to suppress his'excited' voice, and asked calmly, "Just now, all of them were inside. What did you talk about?"

Hugo turned his head and glanced at Joseph. He immediately noticed Joseph's abnormality. He couldn't help but sketched out a triumphant smile. Obviously he was very satisfied with Joseph's slightly awkward reaction, but he didn't pick it out clearly. He said cheerfully, "I talked to Catherine about some acting..."

The two walked out of the theater and looked around at the busy Broadway. The entire Broadway Avenue runs through the entire Manhattan Island from south to north, but only the section between 44th Street and 53rd Street is the real Broadway Golden Zone, that is, Inner Broadway. What is staged here is Classical, popular, and commercial repertoire; the unexpected theaters on 41st Street and 56th Street are all called off Broadway, most of which are experimental, unfamiliar, and low-cost. Repertoire.

The location of Hugo and Joseph is on Forty-third Street. They still deviate from the golden zone of Broadway. It is a marginal area. It can be seen that the drama of "Major Issues" is not taken seriously. Forty-second Street next door is New York Dingding. The famous red light district is also the heart of Manhattan.

There are two styles of atmosphere in the streets of Manhattan. Midtown and Uptown basically present a tic-tac-toe chessboard pattern. They are well organized, with streets running from east to west, numbered from south to north, from the first street to the 220th street; The north-south avenues are numbered from east to west, from the first avenue to the twelfth avenue. There are also a few avenues that are not named after numbers, such as Madison Avenue, Broadway Avenue and so on.

As for the next. The urban area is the location of the earliest town in New York. The planning is not so rigorous. It inherits the warm memories of the early immigrants of the European hometown, so the road planning is like a European town, and the street direction is slightly messy. The side streets that often jump out make it difficult for newcomers to grasp the direction. But at the same time, it is also full of the charm of a fairy tale castle town. If you have enough time, walking aimlessly here can often find surprises in the center of the city.

The diagonally extending Broadway Avenue and Seventh Avenue'intersection' is Times Square, while 42nd Street crosses it, cutting off the entire Manhattan Island. With Times Square as the center, Broadway Avenue will be forty Second Street is divided into two worlds. To the east is the office building. There is also the New York City Library, the largest collection of books in the world. The Central Park behind the library opens up a rare green'color' in the steel forest. Contrary to the east, the scenery on the west is bleak. Although there are high-rise buildings, supermarkets, groceries, and video stores are within easy reach, the buildings are obviously much dilapidated. This is the oldest area on Manhattan Island.

Starting from Times Square and bounded by Broadway Avenue, the east side of Forty-Second Street is getting more and more prosperous, and the west side is getting more and more depressed. The population density is also the same, showing a sharp contrast between prosperity and poverty on Manhattan Island. Of course, this so-called comparison is only for Manhattan Island. Compared to Brooklyn and Queens, it is still a time of feasting and prosperity.

Forty-third Street is located in the more prosperous Midtown. Walking vertically along Broadway Avenue, you will soon see the bustling and bustling Times Square. Although Times Square is said to be a "square", it is actually just a small piece of open space. This is the intersection of Broadway Avenue, Seventh Avenue and Forty-Second Street, forming an "x"-shaped intersection, but the two "v"-shaped sharp corners of the upper and lower "x" are all flattened to form a The rectangular “dew” area is this small open space, but it is known as the “crossroads of the world”, and every New Year’s Eve, there will be more than half a million people in the cold wind. Waiting for the moment when the crystal ball drops and hugs the'kiss'.

Hugo and Joseph took a leisurely pace all the way towards Times Square, but deliberately slowed down on the bustling streets of New York, and walked slowly and leisurely on the stone road, but they did not have a taste.

The pedestrians passing by all seemed to be "hundreds of thousands of people up and down" businessmen, walking hurriedly with their heads down and walking quickly. They didn’t even have time to look at other people. This made New York City There is a fast running rhythm in the blood of this city, as if one second is broken into three seconds for use. The three-fold fast-forward rhythm makes the air in the city full Full of impetuousness.

Not only the people living in this city, but also backpackers and tourists, they walked through the famous scenic spots in the city at a fast pace, coming and going in a hurry, but they ignored the best of the city. part.

If someone is willing to slow down like Hugo and Joseph, they will find that the sky in New York is a hazy bright gray'color', the blue'color' sky and dense clouds are mixed together, and they are full of trees. The high-rise buildings divide the sky into bright gray grids, which has a charm that is different from nature and other cities.
