Chapter 1956 1956 Perseverance to move forward
Time froze at this moment. If the world can remain eternally still at this moment, even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks, it will become magnificent.
But this is not the Pure Land of Doomsday, but the Real Prison. A series of guards who were patrolling regularly took not absolutely neat steps to break the tranquility around them from afar to a close, which made Hugo and Charlize feel a little uncomfortable. They raised their heads and bumped into each other's eyes. The panic and restlessness in the deep eyes made both of them quickly move away from their eyes, and the atmosphere fell into a strange state for a moment.
The guards passed by the two of them. The chaotic steps covered the sound of the heartbeat, giving the two people a breathing space, and their tense moods were valuable buffering. When the sound of the steps disappeared at the end of the other side again, Charlize raised his head, and the smile on his face had returned to his usual posture. "So, did you go through this process last time?"
"Huh?" Hugo looked at Charlize in confusion, and his reaction seemed a little slow, uneasy. For a moment, he thought he was about to lose her, and that fear swallowed him; for a moment, he thought he had her, and that kind of happiness came; but in the next moment, he returned to reality again. The mixed emotions almost made him unable to control it, and the fist placed behind him had to be clenched more than just.
He could not let her trust down. Charlize regarded him as his best friend and the object of trust. If he took advantage of her fragility and took advantage of the situation, then this friendship might be really ruined. Therefore, the more subtle the moment, he could not cross the thunder pool.
The clenched fists trembled slightly.
Charlize lowered his eyes slightly, his emotions calmed down little by little, "I mean, did you feel the same way when you filmed the 'Death Prisoner Walk'?"
After letting out a gentle breath, Hugo's fist slowly relaxed, "It's almost the same, that state is very delicate, just like... you can't tell the difference between reality and illusion by yourself. Even if you can truly feel everything around you, you have completely lost all your control."
This made Charlize's attention completely return to Erin Ainos. He thought about the feeling just now. She could not distinguish her childhood self. Gerda picked up the pistol and Erin with a dark eyes. The trembling feeling of empathy was lingering. Just as Hugo said: She lost all her control.
Hugo has also refocused his attention on today's important matters. This is the moment when Charlize has been most focused in recent times, or more vividly: this is the most "Charlize" moment. As an actor, she really thinks about the script of "Female Devil" and the role of Erin. This is also the most important moment for Charlize. So, Hugo is doing her best to help.
"Actually, you have to experience this process yourself, because this is your character and this is your stage." Hugo could no longer feel his knees, and fell to the ground, and as a result, his feet 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 burst out laughing. As a result, Hugo glared at him fiercely. She quickly reached out to pinch Hugo's feet, with a flattering expression on his face, which made Hugo a little satisfied.
"I actually had this feeling when I was filming the 'Trumen World'. Because the boundary between me and Trumen was so blurry that many times I couldn't tell whether I was in reality or filming, especially the atmosphere of the entire work, which created this kind of ambiguity floating between reality and illusion. It was really difficult for me to distinguish all the differences."
During the filming period, Hugo was deeply touched. It has been more than a month since the film was completed, but Hugo has been having nightmares. Due to the particularity of the entire script of "Truemon's World", Hugo has been investing in the roles with unprecedented depth, even deeper than "Death-infernal Walking", because the most terrifying situation is that Hugo can obviously control all situations and can easily get into the role and get out of the show, but after returning to reality, he still couldn't help asking himself, "Is this really true?" The vicious cycle of fear made Hugo unable to get rid of it.
Just like the movie "Inception", everything is so real that you can't distinguish between dreams and reality. This is not only a performance, but also the power of the script. Hugo also felt that performance is a very interesting thing.
"I thought you had reached a sufficient level and would not worry about such a problem anymore." Charlize looked at Hugo in surprise.
This made Hugo laugh, "Why does this praise sound like irony?" Charlize also recalled and couldn't help but outline the corner of his mouth. "The performance is always different and always needs to be learned. I wouldn't say that the 'Trumen's World' is more difficult than the 'Death-Bound Walk' performance, because these are two completely different characters, but the process of playing trumen is definitely not easier than Matthew or Anonymous. Personally, I learned more new things in Truman's performance, of course, mainly because it is comedy, something I have always wanted to try but haven't tried."
Charlize pointed his chin slightly. She could hear every word Hugo said clearly, but the meaning after connecting it was always a little blurry. She could understand it vaguely, but she still couldn't really resonate because she knew that she had not reached that level yet.
"Maybe I will try to watch comedy in the future. I will really feel the realm you are talking about. But... for the moment, I decided to focus on Erin Ainos first." Charlize's confession made Hugo laugh a little embarrassedly. When Charlize said this, it seemed like he was deliberately showing off. Obviously, Charlize wanted to achieve such an intention. Looking at the joking between Charlize's eyebrows, Hugo's mouth outlined a big curve and nodded, "Yes, you're completely right."
Charlize supported himself with his hands and tried to stand up, but found that his hands were still weak, and the first attempt was not successful. Hugo wanted to stretch out his hands when he saw it, but Charlize shook his head, bit his lower lip tightly, and tried again, and this time it was successful.
Charlize looked down at Hugo sitting cross-legged in place, "Why, are you planning to order takeout here?"
Hugo looked up speechlessly at Charlize, "I don't look at who I just got to this point? My feet are numb now and I can't stand up at all."
Charlize spread his hands and looked innocent, "I remember you said a long time ago, women and children cannot be messed with." Only women and villains are difficult to raise. After that, Charlize took straight steps with a calm and calm look on his face, and actually threw Hugo in place.
Hugo sat in place, grinding his teeth hard, and then stood up slowly, but the numbness of his feet forced him to stand there for a while, with a tangled expression of desire, desire, death, and death. After waiting for a while, he limped and quickly chased after, "Woman!" Hugo roared and rushed directly to Charlize's back, pressing half of his weight on Charlize.
Charlize staggered, almost two people rolled into a ball. The scene should be very bloody. The ground here is covered with sand. "Hey, man!" Charlize gave Hugo a elbow, but before Hugo could hit Hugo, Hugo avoided it, but he still wailed, "Oh!"
The two of them walked towards the car in a fight. The heroic laughter made the cold and gloomy prison softer, and it seemed that even the sunlight became warmer. The two of them chased and fought all the way. Finally, looking at Hugo who had escaped far away, Charlize raised his hands to surrender, saying that he had given up, and thus ended the fight that was like a kindergarten child.
"Do you know what Erin said to me just now?"
"Um?"
"She said life has no meaning to her anymore. If the law does not impose sanctions on her, she may continue to kill people. She feels like a cold-blooded serial murderer who has no feelings. So she asked the court to remove the lawyer assigned to her and speed up the death penalty. If nothing unexpected happens, she may execute the death penalty in October this year."
"...Did you ask her why she suddenly gave up the appeal and decided to confess?"
"She said it was because of the 'Death-infernal stroll', and they saw the movie during an entertainment event in the prison. So, she didn't want lies to fill her life, hoping to make the facts clear to the world, and then get self-salvation to see God. But... I don't believe it." A long silence, "I heard that she had been trying to contact Hilby, but she never succeeded. Not long ago, her lawyer told her that she had found Hilby, but Hilby tore her letters apart without hesitation. I'm not sure how authentic this news is, but..."
There was another long silence, "Hugo, what does it feel like to be abandoned by the whole world? Erin said that I was the only person who was willing to come to see her in the past six years, except for lawyers and documentary directors. Now the time she is looking forward to most every week is meeting me. She said, 'This is a hope'."
The sound fell gently, as if there was no trace left. Then the sound of the car's engine sounded slowly, and a series of ripples shaking in the quiet air, further highlighting the heaviness and loneliness in the sound.
