Chapter 1253 1253 The edge of runaway
After "Death-infernal Affairs" suspended work for two days, the filming resumed, but the atmosphere of the crew was a bit depressing. On the one hand, because of Hugo's situation, people admired Hugo's dedication, and were worried that Hugo would really collapse step by step; on the other hand, Steven stayed with the crew, which undoubtedly added a lot of pressure to everyone's hearts.
Both David and Jeffrey still have a lot of work. The reason they came here was not only worried about the drama "Death-infernal Walk", but more about Hugo as friends. Jeffrey, who had never appeared, also appeared for the first time, but unfortunately this time was obviously not a good time to talk. After two days and one night, they left together.
Hugo first went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and confirmed that the allergic symptoms were indeed not serious. Hugo talked with the psychologist three times, one hour each time, and the crew started work again at Hugo's request.
Steven looked at Hugo with a serious look and asked solemnly, "Hugo, are you sure?"
In fact, Steven has always maintained the majesty of the superiors, or the aura of the elders in front of Hugo. The two are friends, but not friends as defined. However, Hugo looked at Steven today without the usual restraint. "Steven, when you first took the 'Schindler's list', you were also under excessive pressure. You chose to escape, but what was the result?"
That was the first real conversation between Steven and Hugo, but the result was Hugo yelling at Steven. This was beyond the expectations of the two. It became the first opportunity for the two to become friends.
"We all know that escaping cannot solve the problem. Only by facing difficulties can we win a glimmer of hope. Even if we know that the result is a failure, I want to try it." Hugo looked at Steven calmly, his amber eyes with unprecedented calmness and calmness in the past two days.
Steven also remembered that conversation with Hugo's words. He remembered Hugo once said, "Suppression is the part that an actor must bear, just like letting an actor play an autistic patient or a serial murderer. That kind of psychological pressure is something that an actor must master. How to grasp this scale and greet all this with a strong heart is also a compulsory course for actors."
Because compared to the director, an onlooker, an actor needs to devote himself to his role. When Hugo becomes the Nazi, when Hugo becomes the murderer, he must first make himself believe. If even he cannot convince himself, how can he make the audience believe it? This is true for lying and acting.
Steven suddenly understood the reason why Hugo was so persistent. He should not be surprised by this, because this is Hugo. Since the first day he met Hugo, Hugo has been like this and has not changed yet. Especially when he looked back on Hugo's achievements in the past two years, and then looked at Hugo's stubbornness in front of him, Steven could no longer say the words of persuasion.
"You said this to imply that I chose to escape, and now I am trying to escape, which means I am a coward?" Steven's words stunned Hugo, then gently pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Hugo Lancaster, remember? I said, 'This is only once'."
Things are like reincarnation. At the beginning, Hugo persuaded Steven, but now Steven comes to persuade Hugo. What remains unchanged is the identities of the two people: Hugo is an actor and Steven is the producer.
Hugo's smile couldn't help but grow bigger, "So, what are you going to do? Exit me? Or ban me as a producer from continuing to invest in the filming?"
"I will tell you that it's better to perform well, otherwise I will be disappointed, very disappointed." Steven said meaningfully, lit his chin slightly.
Hugo nodded with a smile, without responding, and then walked towards the direction where the camera was.
Steven watched Hugo leave, and this was the first time he looked at Hugo from the perspective of an equal friend. In a quiet way, this "child" who was twenty-one years younger than him had grown into a giant who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
After "Death-infernal Affairs" was put into filming again, the entire shooting process went much smoother than expected. Although everyone was worried about Hugo, it has to be admitted that Susan, who was gradually getting better, gradually regained control in front of Hugo, and Hugo, who brought Matthew from the script to real life, was even more amazing. Each of the two opponents was wonderful, and even made the entire crew begin to blur the boundaries between reality and the movie, and was substituted into the plot, step by step into the spiritual world belonging to Matthew.
A hateful person must have pitiful things.
Matthew participated in the forced rape of Hope and killed Walter, which was an unchangeable fact. He was a murderer and he deserved the corresponding punishment. As for whether this punishment should be a death penalty, everyone has their own opinions. But it is undeniable that behind Matthew's bluffing violence is that weak soul.
How long did Matthew desire warmth? He hoped to stand on the sunny land to embrace life, but the coldness of society cruelly stifled his hope, and it can even be said that society pushed him to the edge of hell step by step. Behind the birth of every tragedy, there are social problems and people's indifference. Behind Matthew's weakness, sadness, and struggle, there are so much helplessness and pain.
Of course, everyone knows that everyone has a choice. Even when facing the same dilemma, some people choose positive, some people choose negative, and some people choose depravity. We can blame society, but we cannot eliminate the sins of these depraved people. This is the fact.
But the weakness, disorganization, fear and struggle behind Matthew's amber eyes presented his story to everyone, so that people forget his blood-stained hands.
Hugo's performance is definitely the pinnacle of his work. His misunderstandings revealed in every move and every word tell the story, making people unable to help but want to explore his story even if people know that it is wrong, but they still cannot control it.
Hugo was suffering because his memory began to become more and more blurred. At first, he could still remember some fragments vaguely, but now these fragments are gradually disappearing, and even a moment of blank space appears, completely blank space. He didn't know what he was doing or what was happening.
But Hugo knew that it was Matthew's action.
Hugo could feel the fear in his heart being invaded little by little, just as Matthew was growing stronger and weaker, his mind was tearing and tug-of-warping, trying to divide it into two halves. The pain of tearing the soul made Hugo at a loss.
He didn't know what would happen next, he didn't know if he would really be split or had completed personality classification, he didn't know if he would completely disappear and then be replaced by Matthew... But he knew that he couldn't stop, as if he knew that there was a bottomless abyss in front of him, he still took steps forward without hesitation.
This feeling of gradually losing control made Hugo feel panic. He even woke up crying several times in his sleep, and the tears on his face turned from hot to cold. The nightmare about Matthew's mother appeared more and more frequently and lasted longer. Hugo felt that his vitality seemed to be disappearing little by little, but he couldn't stop it. He didn't seem to want to stop it deep in his heart.
This feeling made Hugo feel confused. He often suddenly didn't know where he was, whether he was in 1995 or 2014; he didn't know who he was, whether he was Chen Hugo or Matthew Pontsley...
Hugo knew that this was a pathological condition, and he had to ask for help, but he had no choice. He couldn't say it. No one knew about him. Steven didn't know, Tim didn't know, Samora didn't know, and Joseph didn't know. Maybe, occasionally, they would notice it, but Hugo felt like he was hiding at the door and peeping at them. Whenever they had doubts, he would appear, convince them, "I'm not Matthew, but Hugo", and then let them feel at ease.
He tried to control such a situation. He tried to clarify his thoughts, draw the boundary between himself and Matthew, think about the boundary between life and performance, and think about the difference and connection between acting and self... But he found that it was too difficult. Everything happened too quickly and too surging. Even if he worked hard, the power of his hands would not work at all.
All this is like an out-of-control train. Hugo has seen a cliff not far away, but it continues to accelerate, and then accelerates. The fear of death and the pleasure of speed make the adrenaline completely burst out, and thus makes every scene of Hugo vividly interpreted and perfectly.
Hugo knew that this was the most exciting performance in his career, but it was likely to be the last one.
Hugo's mind seemed to have a demon's laughter, "Dear Hugo, it's my turn to play time. Give me your body. I can satisfy all your dreams, and I can also reach the situation you have always dreamed of. Come, the performance time is up."
Hugo vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but he could not make an accurate judgment at this time. He just felt himself sleeping in a drowsy way, surrounded by endless darkness, and then trapped in this small space, unable to see the situation outside or feel anything around him.
A smug smile appeared on the corner of Matthew's mouth, and the unruly and violent eyebrows were revealed with recklessness. His eyes narrowed slightly, full of desire. He looked at the noise around him with desire, then looked at Tim who was standing not far away and shouted, "I'm ready, let's rock together!" With an uncontrollable excitement in his words, he walked towards the shooting site with big strides.
