"Dingling, Dinglingling..." The phone rings at hand. Hugo is flipping through the script of "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" tomorrow, preparing for the next shooting. He raised his head and looked at the clock on the desk. It was already late at night. Who else would call him at this time?

Seeing the number on the phone screen, Hugo's slow brain was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and answered, "Call me at this time. Could it be that your colleagues are eating midnight snacks, and you are almost unable to control it, so you are asking for help from me."

Charlize Theron on the other end of the phone was clearly there.

The filming progress of "Female Devil" was much slower than expected. It was originally expected that the filming would be completed three weeks ago, but as a result, director and screenwriter Patty Jekins directly modified a large plot, covering nearly fifteen pages of the script, which affected the entire shooting. Not only did the part of the modified content need to be re-shooted, but there were also many scenes that needed to be re-shooted before and after.

Adjusting the filming brought tremendous pressure to the entire crew, especially as the heroine, Charlize's pressure is incomparable.

Without saying a word, Charlize began to roar at the phone, "Ah..." Then the voice gradually climbed up, "Ah..." The harsh sound came from the receiver, making Hugo unable to help but pull the receiver away from his ears. He looked at his phone in surprise. His first reaction was that there was a problem with the communication, but the voice was clearly Charlize's.

Hugo thought about it and simply put her phone on the desktop and waited quietly for Charlize to vent her catharsis. As a result, it took nearly thirty seconds to wait. Charlize's shouts continued, and it could continue to change its tone, which could make people clearly feel the anger and boredom that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time.

Finally, after the shouting ended, Hugo picked up his cell phone, "So, have you encountered problems with the shooting?"

Charlize gasped in a daze, and could clearly feel her fatigue at this moment. "I really don't understand how you persisted." Although she was tired, she could obviously feel her whole body relaxed. The pressure that was so tight that it was completely expressed in the thirty seconds just now.

Hugo knew that Charlize was talking about "death prisoners' walk", "Actually, when I look back, I'm a little confused, and that memory is not so clear."

In the process of playing the role of Erin Ainos, Charlize faces unprecedented challenges. He walks on the wire rope almost every day, and the bottomless abyss under his feet. If you are not careful, it will completely collapse. This kind of pressure is not terrible. What is really terrible is that even if Charlize plays to the extreme, it may not necessarily mean excellence, because the role of Erin is too complex, too profound, and too difficult.

Charlize heard Hugo's familiar voice and let out a long breath, his tense mind relaxed slightly, "Do you know? Erin's world is really too desperate. When Hilby escaped, her whole body collapsed. The scene of the whole life falling apart was too cruel, and it was almost impossible to breathe."

Hugo could guess that Charlize had another very difficult day today. This pressure not only comes from the body, but also comes from the psychology. He puts pressure on the actors from all aspects, but there were only two, either completely collapsed and ruined the entire work; or breaks out of the cocoon and becomes a butterfly, blending with the characters and the work, and there is no other possibility.

Charlize has been working hard and studying hard, and is never willing to give up. Even if the pressure is about to defeat her, she always grits her teeth. In the most difficult moment, Charlize just called him to complain and vent, but never really thought of giving up.

"Charlize, you know..." Hugo tried to comfort Charlize, but before he could speak, he heard a violent swearing sound from the other end of the phone, "Shut up! Can't you shut up his mother? Let me be quiet for a while!"

Hugo pursed his lips slightly, but instead smiled, closed his mouth, and listened quietly to Charlize's complaints.

After a while, Charlize finally finished complaining. She let out a long breath, "Sorry, I was like a bitch just now." This sentence made Hugo burst into laughter, but Hugo didn't speak up, but just continued to remain silent.

Without hearing Hugo's response, Charlize was not worried. He just slowly adjusted his breathing and then calmed down with the receiver. The two of them didn't speak for a while, and there was a silence on both sides of the phone, but strangely, this quiet atmosphere had an indescribable harmony. Just listening to the uniform breathing sound and the rhythmic heartbeat made all the restlessness around him settle down.

In fact, after just complaining, Charlize did not calm down completely, but now this quiet airflow gradually restored her breathing to a steady level, and her chest cavity, which was burning like a burn, also gradually cleared up the confused thoughts in her brain.

"Why don't you talk?" After three or five minutes, Charlize could already feel the slight heat of his phone slightly. Then she spoke, her tone at this time had returned to her usual normal state.

Hugo gently outlined the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "I thought you were forbidden from speaking." The teasing made Charlize roll his eyes, but he did not refute it. Hugo did not continue to pursue and fight, "When will your shooting end? Why do I think your work has been filmed for a lifetime?"

Charlize was also amused by Hugo's words, "In fact, tomorrow is the last scene, but..." Charlize shrugged, "I didn't feel the pressure was reduced at all. Instead, I felt that I was getting heavier and more depressed, as if I was trapped in the quicksand, and the more I struggled, the deeper I fell."

Hugo knew this feeling, but it was actually too deeply involved in the show, which took time to brew and soothe, and there was no other way, "Will the movie be sure when will it be released? Didn't you say last time that you planned to get Sundance?"

"Patty said Christmas, and David had nodded and agreed." Charlize's tone was quite relaxed, after all, this was not her job. David Geffen is the producer of "Female. Devil", so he nodded in the related work.

However, Hugo was more familiar with the work of producers and couldn't help but frown slightly, "Is it time?" There was only less than three months left.

Charlize pursed his lips, "Patty cut it while shooting, and there is no special effects, so there should be no problem."

Hugo pondered, "Then you will be busy at the end of the year, maybe you can still go to Sundance to see it. This will be good for your works." Charlize on the other end of the phone responded absent-mindedly, which made Hugo chuckle. However, considering that Charlize has not been in a state recently, it is no surprise, "Where are you going to take a vacation after the filming of this drama?"

This movie can be said to be an important turning point in Charlize's career. Unlike the exciting performances in "Los Angeles Secret", it is driven by Hugo, Kevin and others. "The Devil" is not only a huge breakthrough, but also almost completed by her alone. Therefore, in the past period, Charlize was really too tired and needed a good rest.

"No one should use your villa in Long Beach recently?" Charlize had already thought about it. She needed to calm down for a while. "I'm ready for a bikini."

"Just your current figure?" Hugo's rhetorical question immediately made Charlize grit his teeth. In order to play the role of "Female Devil", Charlize actually intentionally gained weight in order to get close to Erin's body shape and not exercise, so Charlize has some fat on his waist recently.

Hugo originally thought Charlize would start refuting, but after waiting for about two seconds, he didn't hear Charlize's voice. This made Hugo take the phone and look at it. The first reaction was that something was wrong with the phone. But just as Hugo was about to ask, he heard Charlize's voice coming from the other end of the phone, "It's you!"

This made Hugo stunned. This sentence was obviously not what he said to him. So who was it? Because Charlize's voice was not only surprised, but also incredible anger and repulsion. "Why are you here?" Charlize's voice could even hear the sound of teeth rubbing.

Is this a string or something? Hugo asked tentatively, "Charlize?"

But Charlize did not hear Hugo's voice, but stood there in a daze, as if looking at the person in front of her. After a while, he heard a faint sound from the other end of the phone. Listening to the audio, he should be a man, but because he was separated by the phone and at a distance, Hugo couldn't tell what was going on.

"You...you..." Charlize seemed to be stimulated by the other party's words, and he couldn't help but stutter, and even his voice began to tremble. "I...I..." This made Hugo feel a little worried. Could it be that Charlize had encountered some danger, and he couldn't help but shout, "Sally! Sally? What's wrong, what's wrong?"
