1956.Chapter 1956 1956 Perseverance
Time froze at this moment, and if the world could stand still forever in this moment, even if the heavens and the earth were falling apart, it would become magnificent and magnificent.
But this is not the Pure Land of Doom, but a prison of reality. A column of guards patrolling regularly broke the surrounding tranquility from far and near with not absolutely neat steps, which made Hugo and Charlize a little uncomfortable, raised their heads and crashed into each other's eyes, the panic and restlessness in the depths of the eyes made both of them have no time to take a closer look, they quickly looked away, and the atmosphere fell into a somewhat strange state for a while.
The guards' steps passed in front of the two people, the chaotic steps drowned out the sound of the heartbeat, allowing the two people to breathe, and the tense hearts got precious buffer time, and when the footsteps disappeared again at the end of the other side, Charlize raised his head, and the smile on his face had returned to his usual posture, "So, did you go through such a process last time?" ”
"Huh?" Hugo glanced at Charlize in bewilderment, and his uneasy reaction seemed a little sluggish. For a moment, he thought he was going to lose her, and the fear consumed him; For a moment, he thought he had her, and that happiness came flooding over; But then for a moment, he was back to reality again. The mixed emotions almost made him almost uncontrollable, and the fist behind him had to be clenched merely.
He couldn't live up to her trust. Charlize regarded him as his best friend, the most trusted person, and if he took advantage of her vulnerability and took advantage of it, then this friendship might really be ruined. Therefore, the more delicate the moment, the more he could not cross the thunder pool.
The clenched fists trembled slightly.
Charlize lowered his eyes slightly, and his emotions were calming down little by little, "I mean, when you first filmed 'Death Row Walk', did you feel the same way?" ”
Exhaling lightly, Hugo's fist slowly relaxed, "Almost, that state is very delicate, it's like...... You can't tell the difference between reality and illusion yourself, and even though you can really feel everything around you, you completely lose all control. ”
These words made Charlize's attention completely return to Erin Enos, thinking back to the feeling just now, she couldn't distinguish between her childhood self, Gerda who picked up a pistol, and Erin, who was full of gray eyes, and the trembling feeling of empathy always lingered. It's like Hugo said: she lost all control.
Hugo also refocused his attention on today's important events, which is Charlize's most focused moment in recent times, or more vividly: this is the most "Charlize" moment, and she really thinks about "women" as an actor. The script of "The Adversary" and the character of Erin are also the most important moments for Charlize. So, Hugo is doing his best to help.
"Actually, you have to experience this process yourself, because this is your role, this is your stage." Hugo couldn't feel his knees anymore, so he just sat down on the ground, and as a result, his feet were numb, and he only felt a rustling sound in his head.
As soon as Charlize raised his head, he saw Hugo's grinning expression, and laughed after a while, but was glared at by Hugo fiercely, and she quickly reached out to pinch Hugo's feet, with a flattering expression, which made Hugo a little satisfied.
"I actually felt this way when I was filming 'Truman's World' before. Because the line between me and Truman is so blurred, that many times I can't tell whether I am in reality or filming, especially the atmosphere of the whole work, which has created this ambiguity floating between reality and fantasy. It's really hard for me to distinguish all the differences. ”
During the filming, Hugo was deeply touched, and now more than a month has passed since the film was completed, but Hugo still has nightmares. Due to the particularity of the entire script of "Truman's World", Hugo is also deeply involved in the role to an unprecedented degree, even deeper than "Death Row Walk", because the most terrible situation is that Hugo can obviously control all the situations, he can easily enter and play the play, but after returning to reality, he still can't help but ask himself, "Is this really real?" "The fear of that vicious circle made it impossible for Hugo to get out of it.
It's like the "Inception" movie, everything is so real that I can't tell the difference between dreams and reality. It's not just the acting, it's the power of the script. Hugo also felt that acting was a very interesting thing.
"I thought you'd reached enough heights to not worry about that anymore." Charlize looked at Hugo in surprise.
This made Hugo laugh, "Why does this compliment sound like sarcasm?" Charlize also recalled, and couldn't help but outline the corners of his mouth, "Acting is always different, and it always needs to be learned." I wouldn't say that 'Truman's World' is more difficult to perform than 'Death Row Walk' because these are two very different characters, but the process of playing Truman is definitely not going to be any easier than Matthew or Anonymous. Personally, I learned a lot more new things about Truman's performance -- of course, mainly because it was comedy, something I had always wanted to try but hadn't tried before. ”
Charlize nodded her chin slightly, she could hear every word Hugo said, but the meaning was always a little vague after connecting them, she could vaguely understand a little, but she still couldn't really resonate, because she knew that she hadn't reached that level yet.
"Maybe in the future, when I have the chance, I will try to watch comedy as well, and I will really feel the kind of realm you are talking about. But...... For now, I've decided to focus on Erin Enos first. Charlize's confession made Hugo laugh a little embarrassedly, so Charlize said it seemed that he was deliberately showing off - obviously Charlize wanted to achieve such an intention, looking at the banter between Charlize's eyebrows flying slightly, the corners of Hugo's mouth outlined a big arc, and nodded, "Yes, you are completely right." ”
Charlize supported himself with his hands and tried to stand up, but found that his hands were still a little weak, and the first attempt was unsuccessful. When Hugo saw it, he wanted to stretch out his hands, but Charlize shook his head, bit his lower lip tightly, tried again, and this time it worked.
Charlize looked condescendingly at Hugo, who was sitting cross-legged in place, "What, you're still planning to order takeout here?" ”
Hugo looked up at Charlize speechlessly, "Don't you see who I just fell into this situation for?" My feet are numb now, and I can't stand up at all. ”
Charlize spread his hands with an innocent expression, "I remember you said a long, long time ago that only women and children can't be messed with. "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. After saying that, Charlize walked straight away with a calm face, and actually left Hugo in place like this.
Hugo sat still, grinding his teeth fiercely, and then slowly stood up, but the tingling sensation of his feet forced him to stand there for a moment, looking lustful. Immortal. Desire. Dead tangled expression, waited for a while, and then limped quickly after him, "Woman!" Hugo roared and threw himself directly on Charlize's back, pressing half of his body weight on Charlizer.
Charlize stumbled, and almost didn't have both of them rolling in a ball, and the picture would have been bloody - the ground here was full of sand. "Hey, man!" Charlize gave Hugo an elbow to the stomach, but before he could hit Hugo, Hugo dodged it, but still wailed in his mouth, "Oh! ”
The two of them walked towards the car in this way, and the heroic laughter softened the cold and gloomy prison, and even the sunlight seemed to become warm. The two chased and fought all the way, and finally looked at Hugo, who had fled far away, Charlize raised his hands to make a surrender gesture, indicating that he had given up, which ended this period of fighting like a kindergarten child.
"Do you know what Erin told me just now?"
"Huh?"
She said that life no longer meant anything to her, and that if the law did not punish her, she would probably continue to kill, and she felt that she was a cold-blooded serial murderer who had no feelings. She therefore asked the court to remove the lawyer assigned to her and to expedite the death sentence. If nothing else, she could be executed in October. ”
“…… Did you ask her why she suddenly gave up on the appeal and decided to confess? ”
"She said it was because of the 'Death Row Walk,' an entertainment in the prison, and they saw the film. So, she doesn't want to let lies fill her life, she wants to let the truth come out, and then go to God after self-redemption. But...... I don't believe it. There was a long silence, "I heard that she had been trying to contact Hilby without success, and not long ago, her lawyer told her that Hilby had been found, but Hilby tore up her letter without hesitation. I'm not sure exactly how much truth this news has, but ......"
There was another long silence, "Hugo, you say, what is it like to be abandoned by the whole world?" I'm the only person in the last six years who has been willing to meet her, apart from a lawyer and a documentary filmmaker, Irene said. Now the time she looks forward to the most every week is meeting me. She said, 'It's a hope.'" ”
The sound fell softly, as if there was no trace left, and then the sound of the car's engine slowly sounded, causing a series of ripples in the silent air, which set off the heaviness and loneliness of the sound more and more.
