"You know, this is probably one of the most difficult roles I've ever played in a script." Hugo opened his mouth to speak, but Charlize was stunned by such an evaluation, as if he didn't expect Hugo to think so.

"What about the 'seven deadly sins'?" Charlize didn't say "Death Row Walk", but said the character of Anonymous in "The Seven Deadly Sins", which made Hugo laugh lightly, and then shook his head, "Not comparable." Because Anonymous is a character who leaves countless blanks, he can more often be filled by me and then left to the audience's imagination. But the character of Erin Enos is different, she is real, and her every move is so clear and widely known, that the movie needs to show her life, which is too difficult. ”

Similarly, "Death Row Walk" cannot be compared with "Female." The Adversary" is compared to the difficulty of the character's interpretation, because "Death Row Walk" is a rival play, and Hugo and Susan Sarandon push each other and promote each other, but "female." "The Adversary" uses the character of Erin Enos to drive the plot.

Actually, "female." There are also two characters interacting in "The Adversary", which is Erin's Tong. Sex. Girlfriend Hilby Walker, the character in Hugo's well-known version is played by Christina Richie. Ricci), the little girl born in 1980 showed her acting potential early on, and she used to be in Lee. Ann's work "Ice Storm" was well received, and then starred in Tim Burton's "Guillotine Valley", becoming a representative of the new generation touted by countless film critics.

Hilby Walker is also a very intricate character, she is dangerous and ruthless, young and willful, wanton and flamboyant, it is she who gives Erin hope, but drags Erin into the abyss step by step. It's a pity that Christina is not up to the task, and the humanity she gives to Hilby is too weak, let alone digging deeper, which affects the quality of the whole work. Of course, this indirectly makes the movie a stage for Charlize to shine in an all-round way.

Objectively from an academic point of view, the difficulty of Erin-Inos's performance is on par with the roles of Anonymous and Matthew, but due to the focus of the script and the intricacies of the characters, Erin's challenge is definitely more powerful.

"If I was asked to play such a role, I didn't have absolute confidence that I could do it." Yuguo said the truth, but there was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Charlize stunned, and then rolled his eyes, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

Charlize let out a long exhalation in annoyance and slumped his shoulder, "Even you can't do it, then I'm sure I can't." Oh, God! ”

"Why?"

Hugo's words made Charlize glare, "Why? If you think you can't play a role well, I don't know who else in Hollywood today can have absolute confidence that they can, but I don't have it anyway. ”

Instead, Hugo was amused by Charlizer's words, "Although this is a compliment, I can't agree with it." I'm a good actor - or a good actor," Hugo chuckled twice himself, obviously still a little unaccustomed to boasting, "but I'm not omnipotent, and there are still many roles that I can't handle." Don't say it's great, I still have a lot to learn from Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep. ”

This is not modesty, but fact. "What's more, Erin Ainos is a woman, I am a man, and I don't think I have the same skills as Robin Williams, and I interpret women vividly." Hugo's words suddenly made Charlize understand that he was being played, and the rag in his hand was thrown directly at Hugo, Hugo quickly flashed, and the rag smashed onto the shelf with a click, making Hugo laugh proudly.

Hugo got back to his feet, like Charlize's clenched fist, and he quickly raised his hand in surrender, explaining, "What I really mean is that if you think you can't do a role and refuse because you're timid, you'll never be a real actor." ”

"But......" Charlize opened his mouth, but before he could continue, he was interrupted by Hugo.

"Of course, there are times when a character is beyond one's own capabilities, and knowing how to say no and give up is also part of wisdom." Hugo continued, "But at least you should give yourself a chance to try it, like you get the script, study it carefully, really immerse yourself in the role, and see where your limits are." If you can't do it, that's good, you know your shortcomings, and then keep trying; And if you did...... Well, maybe this is your best chance to break through. ”

Charlize's right fist slowly loosened and fell into his own thoughts, Hugo's voice slowly sounded next to him, "For example, when I took over the filming of 'Schindler's List', for example, when I starred in 'Seven Deadly Sins' and 'Death Row Walk' one after another, and for example, 'Truman's World', which has just finished filming recently, is actually the same reason." I'm not necessarily the most perfect, because there is no such thing as a truly perfect actor, but I gave the character something of my own and made a breakthrough. The whole process is like a tightrope gambling, failure is a disaster for the whole work, but success is ......"

Hugo didn't continue to say the rest of the words, Charlize raised his head to look at Hugo, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was gently outlined, "...... It's a whole new world. There is still half a sentence Charlize didn't say, just like the two works of "Devil's Advocate" and "Los Angeles Confidential", in fact, she is always challenging her own limits.

In fact, when she got the script in New York, Charlize couldn't wait to appear in this work, she could feel her blood slowly boiling, that feeling of excitement was unprecedented, and it really made Charlize feel the urge to perform, she couldn't wait to try what she learned in "L.A. Confidential", not to prove herself to anyone, but to devote herself to the role, and really feel the joy and happiness of acting.

Perhaps it was because she was too urgent that Charlize began to doubt herself, her abilities, and even David's choice. The strong desire to play the role of Erin makes the inner desire and worry form an irreconcilable contradiction.

In the end, Charlize chose to come to Lanchez, hoping that Hugo would give her some advice.

Now, Charlize realizes that she has already made a decision in her heart: she wants to play the role of Erin Enos, and she wants to play it well. Now, Hugo gave her the courage to dispel the confusion and hesitation in front of her, and when the decision really fell, her heart first breathed a long sigh of relief, and then the irrepressible excitement filled her chest, like hundreds of butterflies flapping their wings together.

"So, have you had time lately? Can you read the script with me? Charlize was already gearing up, and the excitement and excitement between her eyebrows made her whole face shine brightly.

Reading the script is a very important job, and it is also the basic work before the actor enters the role. "Of course, of course, what I've needed most lately is a job that shows how important I am, you know, I can't help much here." Hugo also faintly began to look forward to the fact that history is quietly changing, and the excitement brought by the unknown makes Hugo's life more and more exciting. Now Hugo is already thinking: since "female." The "Adversary" has already appeared in advance, so will there be other unexpected surprises in the future?

Hugo's teasing made Charlize laugh, she walked to the counter and took the rag back again, walked to the side and washed it, and got busy again, suddenly Charlize remembered one more thing in her mind, she hesitated for a moment, and looked back at Hugo, "Well, I want to visit Erin Enos in the Florida prison and see her with my own eyes." ”

Hugo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, starring in a biopic film and then visiting the real person himself was a challenge, but at the same time an opportunity.

Charlize herself seemed a little nervous, as she wasn't sure if it was a good thing, "Of course, I still need to apply, and I'll need to write to ask Erin's opinion to see if she agrees with me." So there is no way to know for sure, but ......"

"I do, of course I do, that's what friends do—they can come in handy when it matters most, don't they?" Hugo's answer made Charlize laugh and nodded, "Then it's settled, I'll write to Erin tonight." ”

History is changing," the woman. The "Adversary" was advanced to 1998, but while Hugo was worried about Charlize's ability to do it, wasn't Charlize changing? From "Before Sunrise" to "Devil's Advocate", and then to "Los Angeles Confidential", Charlize is also polishing her acting skills step by step, and now she is indeed different from the one in history in 2003, but she is also different from her in 1998 in another time and space.

Now Charlize even has the courage to talk to Erin face-to-face, and is willing to really step into Erin's world to learn about that chaotic and dark history. So, who knows? Maybe this time "female." The Adversary would be a complete disaster, but maybe it could also be a classic like no other, with equal odds until the results are in, aren't they?

"Hey, Hugo, I'm back......" The sound of the sun came from outside the door, and before the sound arrived, it was Leonardo's voice, which made the calm convenience store suddenly lively, "God, look who this beautiful girl is!" It seems that I have good luck today, this beauty, may I have the honor to invite you to breakfast? ”

"I'll think about it." Charlize's haughty and cold voice made Leonardo wail exaggeratedly.
