Chapter 1506: Diving Hibernation
72_72291People expected that Hugo's choice for his next work would not be so fast, firstly, because "Independence Day" had just been completed, and there was no need to rush into the work of the next work, and secondly, the magic of the golden man after the Oscar made Hugo have to make a careful choice.
But people did not expect that in the next month, Hugo was stunned that there was no news at all, and the "Titanic", which had entered the countdown to the start of filming, was the most bleak, Kevin Pence of Twentieth Century Fox and Shirley Lansing of Paramount were unwilling to compromise and insisted on using Hugo, they were still waiting for Hugo's response, and the countdown to the opening ceremony was getting closer and closer, but the male and female protagonists of the movie were still not in place, which really made countless people fall through their glasses.
Many people have begun to gloat, predicting that "Titanic" will be another "future water world".
Everyone is curious about what Hugo has been doing lately, but no one has ever actually caught Hugo's whereabouts, there are rumors that Hugo bought a yacht to go on a sailing trip, some say he saw Hugo on the road from Las Vegas to Houston, some say he saw Hugo on vacation on Long Island in New York...... Since this is not the Internet era, the speed of information transmission is not fast, and no one really knows where Hugo is, just like the time after the end of filming "before sunrise", Hugo disappeared in the sight of the media.
In fact, Hugo is back on a road trip, he needs to rediscover the passion he had when he embarked on the road of music, he needs to rediscover the persistence that belongs to the bones of glory to death, and he needs to rediscover the dream that keeps flowing in his blood.
It was an unexpected journey, as Hugo, Joseph and Samora drove along the West Coast in an undetermined direction, arriving in the wilderness of Alaskan and then to Mexico City. City) experienced a riot, and it was in the strange city of Mexico City that Hugo decided to go on his own, Joseph and Samola continued the car while Hugo embarked on a hike like never before.
Hugo was not an adventurous person, and even the moment he experienced a complete burst of adrenaline while filming "Life and Death" gave him the idea of trying extreme sports, but Hugo never really did.
Road trips were already the limit for Hugo, and all his previous road trips were with his companions, and the excitement and noise had become part of the road trip. Even when he traveled in Europe after the end of "before sunrise", Hugo basically traveled by train, and there was no shortage of companions along the way.
But this time, Hugo was going to try his hand at hiking, learning from Charlotte he met in Edinburgh, who had trekked all the way back to Europe from Africa, and the thrills and scenery on the way were unparalleled.
The so-called hiking, of course, cannot be completely measured by feet to measure the distance of the North American continent, when in the wilderness, will continue in the form of a temporary ride, between the means of transportation, completely rely on their own hiking to move forward, if the night is still in the wilderness, then look for a nearby suitable place to camp for the night.
This was a completely new experience for Hugo, and it would have been impossible for Hugo to do so before. Even this time, in the first week of the first week, Hugo regretted it countless times almost every day, and even thought about giving up all the time in the first two days, he knew that as long as he called Joseph, they would drive over to pick him up, but Hugo didn't want to do this, he still hoped that he could persevere.
It's as if he, Zhang Xiaoye, and Su Zinan resolutely left their hometown to chase their dreams. The road ahead is confused, they don't even know which direction the end is, they have nothing but their own feet and a heart to chase their dreams. But they went all the way, and it was ten years at a time.
Hugo persevered, remembering that on the third day of the hike, Hugo couldn't stop a car in southern Texas, and he walked all the way for nine hours, and he didn't know how far he had walked, but his feet were swollen and seven blisters were grinded out of his feet.
When night fell, Hugo was still in the suburbs, and there was no sign of a nearby town, and the pain in his feet made it almost impossible for Hugo to continue his life, and he thought he was going to camp alone in the wilderness. In desperation, he could only look for a shelter camp, but he found the flames of a campfire at the far end.
Following the Hokage, Hugo dragged his unconscious legs for nearly thirty minutes, and then unexpectedly came to a camp, where he met a hippie couple, a drunken man, an immature underage girl, a reckless young man who had not yet graduated from college, a middle-aged military officer, a wandering folk band, and a passing truck driver with a flat tire.
That night was a shock to Hugo, because they were the ones who really lived "on the road". It can be said that they are nothing. Politics. Fucrats, they are tired of people, they hate society, they hate bondage, they hate others to frame their lives with so-called "social rules", it seems that everyone is born with everything prescribed: "high school, scholarships, college, work, marriage, children, running for life". It can be said that they hate rules, but it can also be said that they love freedom, and they will not hesitate to fight for freedom, even if they are broken.
Hugo could understand this point of view, but he would not do it, perhaps in his bones, in fact, he was still conservative, whether it was Hugo Chen or Hugo Lancaster. But Hugo involuntarily began to envy, envy their courage, envy their firmness, envy their calmness......
Perhaps in the eyes of the world, this group of people is pitiful, because they have no fixed home, because they have no family and friends, because they do not have enough to eat, because they are displaced, because they may not be able to enjoy the fame and fortune brought by villas, luxury cars, famous brands, and luxury goods for the rest of their lives. But in the eyes of this group of people, those who are constantly running for fame and fortune are the most unfortunate, because they have become desires. Slaves of hope and even lost themselves.
These thoughts undoubtedly had a strong impact on Hugo, and although he was always focused on chasing his dreams, he never denied his desires. hopefully, he will not deny his achievements. Hugo can honestly admit that he will be nervous at the Oscars, and he will be very happy after getting the little golden man.
But in the eyes of this group of people, the little golden figure was just a piece of metal, and it didn't mean anything.
As philosophers say, in fact, many things have no meaning, and it is only after human beings have given them special meaning that they have meaning. It's like banknotes, diamonds, cars, and so on.
Although Hugo has always claimed to be on the road, whether it is before or after the crossing, including the music of glory to death, in fact, it is always on the road of music, which is the most important insistence in Hugo's heart; But now in the eyes of this group of people, his so-called insistence is extremely ridiculous, extremely worldly, and extremely wolf.
This made Hugo start to doubt himself: Is his persistence really meaningful? Or is he just a hypocrite? In particular, the emptiness after Oscar made Hugo's self-doubt like a tsunami, completely drowning Hugo. Even though Hugo was extremely tired that day, he couldn't sleep at all, and just watched the sky light up little by little with his eyes open.
Early the next morning, everyone extinguished the bonfire and left one after another, and the veteran officer seemed to sense Hugo's confusion and shock, and he said to Hugo, "Young man, everyone has their own pursuits, and no one's pursuits are superior to others, and so are they." The veteran's last words were a reference to the night companions who were slowly moving away. After saying that, he also turned away, leaving Hugo in deep thought.
The impact of this short night on Hugo was undoubtedly huge, and he fell into even greater confusion on the rest of the journey, because his beliefs and beliefs all along were shaken, and it seemed that all his efforts and persistence in the past few years had lost their meaning, which made Hugo's world collapse.
However, this made Hugo persevere, he began to hike in the real sense, there was no specific direction, hitchhiked, the other party went in that direction, he followed forward, randomly got off at a fork in the road, and then continued on foot, stopping and stopping all the way, Hugo did not even know where he was on the map for a while. But then Hugo was relieved, that's what this trip is all about, isn't it?
Forget time, forget reality, forget life...... In this way, Hugo was gradually forgotten by the world, even by himself. But this made Hugo's chaotic brain gradually clear.
The companions of that night, their ideals sounded great, embracing the grand goal of freedom, but in the end, it was up to the individual to pursue. Some people like to live a dull life in the countryside, some people enjoy the attention brought by fame and fortune, some people are keen on the deceit in the shopping mall, and some people are paranoid about the clean world without calculation among their children...... Just like some people like apples and some people like bananas, everyone's pursuit is different, because everyone's outlook on life, worldview, and values is different.
No pursuit is more noble, the pursuit of freedom does not mean that you despise money, and the pursuit of money does not mean that you give up freedom. The important thing is not to pursue itself, but to understand your own pursuit and your own essence, and then keep moving towards your goal.
Perhaps in the eyes of the hippies, they could not understand Hugo's dream, but that does not mean that Hugo's dream is hypocritical. On the contrary, Hugo knew better than anyone what his every footprint, every drop of sweat, and every pain he had represented along the way, as if freedom was supreme for them, and dreams were supreme for Hugo. And what he needs is not to understand other people's dreams, but to find his own dreams.
With this firmness that gradually became clearer, Hugo took steps and began to measure the length of life and the depth of his dreams
