Chapter 1506 1506 Diving Dormant

People expected that Hugo's selection of the next work would not be so fast. First, the "Independence Day" has just been completed, and there is no need to rush into the work of the next work. Second, it is the little golden man after the Oscars. The curse forced Hugo to choose carefully.

But people did not expect that in the next month, Hugo was stunned with no news at all. "Titanic", which has entered the countdown to the start of shooting, was the most bleak. 20th Century Fox's Kevin Burns and Pie Ramon's Shirley Lansing is unwilling to compromise and insists on using Hugo. They are still waiting for Hugo's response, and the countdown to the opening ceremony is getting closer and closer, but the film's male and female protagonists are still not in place. , This really made countless people fall through the glasses.

Many people have begun to gloat over the misfortune, predicting that "Titanic" will be another "water world of the future".

Everyone is wondering what Hugo is doing recently, but no one has ever really caught Hugo's whereabouts. There are rumors that Hugo bought a yacht to go on a sailing trip. Some people say that he is going to Houston in Las Vegas. I saw Hugo on the highway in New York, and some people said that I saw Hugo on vacation in Long Island, New York... Since this is not the Internet age, the speed of information dissemination is not fast, and it is surprising that no one really understands Hugo. Where, as in the period after the filming of "Before Sunrise" ended, Hugo evaporated in the media's attention.

In fact, Hugo embarked on a road trip again. He needed to rediscover the passion that he used to embark on the road of music. He needed to rediscover the persistence that belonged to the glory to the death. He needed to rediscover his blood. Dreams that keep flowing.

It was an unexpected journey. Hugo and Joseph and Samora drove along the west coast in no fixed direction. He had reached the wilderness of Alaskan and then went to Mexico City (Mexico. City) to experience After a riot, in unfamiliar Mexico City, Hugo decides to hit the road alone, Joseph and Samora continue to perform in their cars, while Hugo embarks on an unprecedented hike.

Hugo is not an adventurous person, and even though he experienced a full burst of adrenaline while filming "Life and Death", he had the idea of ​​trying extreme sports, but Hugo never really tried it.

Road trips were the limit for Hugo, and all of his previous road trips were with companions, and hilarious noises had become part of road trips. Even for the trip to Europe after "before sunrise" that year, Hugo was basically a train trip, and there was no shortage of company along the way.

But this time, Hugo is going to try hiking, learning from Charlotte, who she met in Edinburgh. She had trekked all the way back to Europe from Africa. The thrills and scenery on the road were unparalleled.

The so-called trekking, of course, cannot be used to measure the distance of the North American continent completely. , and if you're still out in the wild when night falls, look for a nearby camping spot to spend the night.

This is a completely new experience for Hugo. It was absolutely impossible for Hugo to do this before. Even this time, in the first week that just started, Hugo regretted countless times almost every day, and even thought about giving up all the time for the first two days. He knew that as long as he called Joseph, they would Will drive over to pick him up, but Hugo doesn't want that, he still hopes he can stick to it.

Just as he, Zhang Xiaoye, Su Zinan and the others resolutely left their hometown to pursue their dreams. The road ahead is confused, and they don't even know which direction the end is in. They have nothing but their feet and a heart to chase their dreams. But they went all the way, and it took ten years.

Hugo persevered. He remembered that on the third day he just started hiking, Hugo couldn't stop vehicles at all in southern Texas. He persisted on foot all the way, and walked for nine hours. He didn't know it. No matter how far he walked, his feet were so swollen that seven blisters were abruptly rubbed out.

When night fell, Hugo was still in the suburbs, and he couldn't see the shadow of any nearby towns. The pain in his feet made it almost impossible for Hugo to continue. He thought he was going to camp alone in the wild. In desperation, he could only find a camp where he could shelter from the wind, but he didn't want to but found the flames of the bonfire at the far end.

Following Hokage, Hugo dragged his unconscious legs for another 30 minutes, and ended up accidentally walking to a campsite, where he met a hippie couple, a strong man, and a young underage girl. , a reckless youth who has not graduated from college, a middle-aged military officer, a wandering folk band, and a passing truck driver who has a flat tire.

That night was a shock to Hugo, because they were the ones who really lived "on the road." Arguably, they are none. politics. Governmentists, they are tired of crowds, hate society, hate bondage, they hate that others frame their lives with so-called "social rules", it seems that everyone is born and everything is stipulated "high school, scholarship, college, Work, get married, have children, run for a living”. It can be said that they hate the rules, but it can also be said that they love freedom and are willing to sacrifice their lives for freedom, even if they are smashed to pieces.

Hugo can understand this point of view, but he will not do it. Maybe in his bones, he is actually conservative, whether it is Chen Hugo or Hugo-Lancaster. But Hugo couldn't help but start to envy, envy their courage, envy their firmness, envy their calmness...

Maybe in the eyes of the world, this group of people is pitiful, because they have no fixed place to live, because they have no family and friends, because they have no food, because they are displaced, because they may not be able to enjoy villas, luxury cars, Fame and fortune brought by famous brands and luxury goods. But in the eyes of this group of people, those who are constantly running for fame and fortune are the most unfortunate, because they become desires. The slave of hope, even lost himself.

These thoughts undoubtedly have a strong impact on Hugo. Although he has always been focusing on chasing his dreams, he will never deny his desires. Hope, and will not deny their own achievements. Hugo can honestly admit that he gets nervous at the Oscars, and he's happy after getting the statuette.

But in the eyes of this group of people, the little golden figure is just a piece of metal, and it has no meaning.

As the philosopher said, in fact, many things have no meaning, and it is only after human beings give them special meaning that this has meaning. Like banknotes, diamonds, cars, etc.

Although Hugo has always claimed to be walking on the road, no matter whether it is before or after crossing, the music including Glory to Death is actually always riding the wind and waves on the road of music. This is the most important persistence in Hugo's heart; But now in the eyes of this group of people, his so-called persistence is extremely ridiculous, extremely worldly, and extremely embarrassing.

This made Hugo begin to doubt himself: Does his persistence really make sense? Or is he just a self-righteous hypocrite? Especially the emptiness after Oscar made Hugo's self-doubt like a tsunami, completely submerging Hugo. Even though Hugo was extremely tired that day, he couldn't sleep at all. He opened his eyes and watched the sky light up little by little.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone extinguished the bonfire and left one after another. The retired officer seemed to sense Hugo's daze and shock, and he said a word to Hugo, "Young people, everyone has their own. Pursuit, no one's pursuit is superior to others, and so are they." The last sentence of the veteran officer referred to his overnight companions who were slowly leaving. After he finished speaking, he also turned around and left, leaving Hugo to ponder on the spot.

The impact of this short night on Hugo was undoubtedly huge. He fell into even greater confusion on the next journey, because his beliefs and beliefs had been shaken. All the years of hard work, all the persistence, lost their meaning, which made Hugo's world collapse.

However, this made Hugo persevere. He started a real hike. There was no specific direction. He picked up a ride, and the other party went in that direction. Continuing on foot, stop-and-go, Hugo didn't even know where he was on the map at one point. But then Hugo was relieved. That's what this trip is about, isn't it?

Forgetting time, forgetting reality, forgetting life... Hugo was gradually forgotten by the world, even by himself. But this made Hugo's chaotic brain gradually clear.

Friends of that night, their ideals sounded great, embracing the grand goal of freedom, but it all comes down to personal pursuits. Some people like to live a plain life in the countryside, some people enjoy the attention brought by fame and fortune, some people are keen on intrigues in shopping malls, and some people are paranoid about a clean world without calculations between children. ...just like some people like apples and some like bananas, everyone's pursuit is different, because everyone's outlook on life, world outlook, and values ​​are 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 the pursuit itself, but to understand one's own pursuit and one's own essence, and then keep walking towards the goal.

Maybe in the eyes of hippies, they can't understand Hugo's dream, but it doesn't mean that Hugo's dream is hypocritical. On the contrary, Hugo knew better than anyone what each of his footprints, sweat, and pain represented along the way, as if freedom were paramount to them. Saying it is supreme. What he needs is not to understand other people's dreams, but to find his own dreams.

Holding this firmness that gradually became clear, Hugo took a step forward and began to measure the length of life and the depth of dreams.
