Hugo opened his eyes, there was a hazy and confused scene in front of him, his pupils began to refocus, the outline of the world became clear little by little, and he looked left and right for a while, Hugo realized that this was the apartment hotel they lived in Princeton, and since they were stationed in Princeton during this time, they simply rented a whole apartment hotel - if the reporters knew that they could not find Hugo, who had never been able to find him, was in the apartment from beginning to end, and did not go to the hospital at all, it is estimated that they would vomit blood collectively.

The room was silent, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. As soon as his eyes shifted, and then he saw Charlize leaning on the edge of the bed and falling into a deep sleep, Hugo's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "What's going on?" Why did she fall asleep on the edge of the bed? ”

Hugo raised his hand and tried to pat Charlize on the shoulder to get her on. The bed came to sleep, and then he felt a heavy stiffness in his right hand, and when he looked around, he saw a dropper, and his right hand was dripping. The slight tingling sensation made the memories flood back.

He finally remembered. The last scene he remembers is filming a scene with a doctor, John Nash is tied to a wheelchair, because Alicia finally realizes that he is not right, so she finds a psychiatrist, Rosen, hoping to treat John. John was injected with a special anesthetic drug, which not only made his body soft, but also accompanied by symptoms of muscle control, and he could not even control his saliva, let alone control his body. John and Rosen had a brief exchange and learned the whole story.

But it was such a scene in a wheelchair that consumed all his energy and physical strength. He only vaguely remembered that his whole being was in a state of chaos, like John's who had been injected with drugs - when in fact he had not been injected with any drugs at all, and the illusory reality made him hardly able to suppress the urge to vomit, as if the whole world was shaking.

But in fact, deep down in his heart, he always has an invisible hand that has been trying to control the intensity and rhythm of the whole performance, and he can easily follow the original of that performance. Able to interpret and interpret, accurately control every detail, suppress all the explosive power under the skin, and jump with the turbulence of blood.

This kind of performance to the extreme almost carried him away, completely ignoring the boundary between reality and drama, and truly feeling a hearty new realm. However, after the performance of this scene, he felt exhausted, and the spirit that had exploded to the extreme was even more exhausted, and he didn't even have time to ask how the effect of the scene just now, and then the whole world fell into darkness and was directly broken.

And then...... There was no then, and when he woke up, it was now.

Hugo only felt that he had slept for a long time, a long, long time, as if his limbs were about to wither, and his muscles had lost their vitality. This feeling gave Hugo a sense of absurdity, because he knew that it was of course impossible, and that it would be difficult to achieve this situation unless he slept for three or five years. He just had such a delusion, which proved that he was now slowly waking up from a deep sleep.

Hugo raised his hand slightly, trying to move his muscles, for he felt like he was going to get moldy all over. But I didn't want to make a move that was too big, so I pulled the hanging bottle lightly, making a soft clanging sound, and then I saw Charlize raise his head suddenly, his eyes looking around uneasily, and finally his eyes fell on Hugo.

Hugo came into contact with Charlize's flustered and dazed gaze, and pulled out a smile - although he couldn't see the mirror, he felt that his smile must be more ugly than crying, because Charlize was actually stunned, and then couldn't help but laugh, which made Hugo a little embarrassed.

Charlize just chuckled for a moment, then gathered his emotions and asked with concern, "How are you feeling?" ”

"I'm fine, I just want to get up and move around." Hugo raised his eyebrows, and the light in his eyes showed that he was in good spirits, "How long have I been sleeping?" You're actually ...... I fell asleep right next to it. ”

Charlize looked at herself, she sat on a low stool, leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep, but she smiled and waved her hand nonchalantly, "You slept ......" Charlize looked at the clock on the wall, "about forty hours." ”

"Embarrassed." This was Hugo's only expression at this time.

Charlize saw it and couldn't help grinding his teeth, "The whole crew was frightened by you, if it weren't for the doctor's repeated confirmation, you just fell into a deep sleep, and it is estimated that the group of crazy people tore the doctor apart." ”

In fact, Charlize knew that in order to prepare for the scene filmed two days ago, Hugo had been trying to adjust his state, and he had not slept for more than seventy-two hours before and after - Hugo deliberately did not sleep, hoping to create that trance-like and dazed feeling, and show John's peak state of schizophrenia with the most realistic physical functions. Acting can cover many emotions, but sometimes, the physical condition is difficult to control, but the stupidest way can achieve the most realistic effect.

It's just that I didn't expect that Hugo completely overdrew his physical strength and energy for that scene. Looking at the big screen, Hugo, whose eyes were so dazed that he would lose focus at any time, and he couldn't even control his muscles, so that his hands and cheeks began to twitch loosely, the shock came to his face; What's even more shocking is that Hugo was able to say his lines accurately and profoundly, and showed a performance that fit perfectly with the whole scene, and that control has almost become a reality. Yes, jaw-dropping...... But the price of such a scene is that Hugo ran out of fuel completely and passed out directly.

The entire crew was terrified.

Charlize looked at Hugo, who was still a little haggard in front of him, although his eyes revealed the light of spirit, but because he had not eaten normally for nearly two days, his face was still a little pale, especially the lip flap without any color, which made Charlize's heart twitch twice, she looked at Hugo seriously, and the worry in her heart was still inevitably surging.

Charlize raised his hand and wanted to punch Hugo, but the fist hit Hugo, but it just fell gently, and she was reluctant after all, which made her feel aggrieved, looking at the smug smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, she said angrily, "Hugo, are you sure you're not crazy?" ”

Such a direct method of inquiry is only Charlize can ask, Hugo rolled his eyes, "If I am crazy, will I tell you?" In fact, compared to Hugo's direct fainting, his mental state is what the whole crew is most worried about, after experiencing the situation of "death row prisoner walking", Hugo's situation during this filming makes people have no way not to think about it.

Hearing Hugo's answer, Charlize didn't speak, just stared at Hugo's eyes, motionless.

Although she didn't say anything, Hugo could see Charlize's slightly reddened eyes and deep dark circles underneath, and it could be seen that she had not rested well at all. Hugo exhaled softly, showed a smile, and said to Charlize seriously, "I'm serious, I'm fine." ”

John Nash is undoubtedly the most challenging character in Hugo's career, because schizophrenia is an incomprehensible condition for ordinary people, even if Hugo himself has done countless investigations and has not experienced it firsthand, he cannot be said to know 100% about it. To put it simply, the facts he firmly believes in have been denied by everyone around him, saying that everything is just an illusion, and that kind of impact and shock can completely drive a person crazy.

The first half of the performance was no problem for Hugo, but as the filming progressed, John's illness gradually began to emerge, and Hugo had to show this step-by-step process, which posed a new challenge to his control. Hugo had been trying his best to get himself into that half-out of control madness, but it required more control and consumed all his spirit.

However, what is certain is that Hugo knows better than ever what he is doing, and the long-lost acting bottleneck has appeared again, which makes Hugo extremely excited, and all his attention is focused on acting, and he has really entered the state of "not crazy, not alive". The only difference is that everything is under Hugo's control.

Hugo stretched out his right hand, put it in front of Charlize, and said again, "I'm really fine. ”

Charlize slowly put her left hand into Hugo's palm, feeling the slightly dry palm, but the faint temperature was still so familiar, making her exhale lightly, and her left hand couldn't help but tighten slightly, just like her heart that was completely tightened.

Hugo whispered, "Sally, I need you, I need you to guide me through the filming of this film, okay?" "After really getting into John's state, just as John needs Alicia, Hugo needs Charlize too. This may be the biggest challenge of Hugo's career, but it is also the biggest opportunity, so he needs her to walk side by side with him.

Charlize raised his eyes and looked at Hugo, whose face was full of haggardness, and then found a familiar light in those amber eyes: the stubborn and determined light, the light that fell mad because of dreams, the light that made her fall in love.

In an instant, Charlize understood what Hugo meant, he was not willing to give up, he still wanted to continue to challenge, and he needed his own support.

Charlize originally thought that she would not hesitate at all, she would stand on Hugo's side unconditionally, she would support Hugo without any hesitation, and she would follow Hugo to the unknown side, even if there is a cliff at the end...... But when faced with such a moment, Charlize found that she hesitated, and she tried to speak twice in a row, only to find that all the words were clogged in her throat.

She hesitated.
