Chapter 180 180 Lonely Christmas

Hugo just felt breathless. This was the case every time he talked to his father. Apart from quarreling, the noisy quarrel seemed to be the main theme of their father-son relationship. This time, because of the Christmas relationship, it seemed to have reached a peak again. .

Adam's words just now revealed too much information. For example, Adam and Lena's marriage was not happy, and Lena seemed to be used to blaming Adam for the fault, and their subsequent separation was not pleasant, but the problem is , From Adam's tone, it can be vaguely guessed that Hugo seems to have a better relationship with Lena. After Lena left, the father-son relationship became very bad, but why did Hugo have no contact with Lena?

For another example, the relationship between Hugo and Adam has always been very bad. It seems that Adam took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Hugo before, but the young and frivolous Hugo did not buy it at all. Of course, judging from Adam's style, it is estimated that This olive branch is also rough and obscure, maybe Hugo didn't understand his father's intention at all. Therefore, Hugo and Adam have basically just talked over the years, and they may have gone home only a handful of times.

Why has to be this way? Obviously they are each other's only family members, but they don't want to sit down and have a good conversation. Instead, they use coldness and confrontation time and time again to hurt their family's emotions. In this world, the people who can hurt you are always the ones you love. Strangers can give you physical wounds, but psychological wounds can only come from the people you love deeply.

Perhaps, Hugo and Adam formed such a stubborn barrier because they were family members who cared about each other. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment and the deeper the damage.

Hugo remembered the situation with his family before he crossed over. In fact, he was the same at that time, using coldness and confrontation to hurt each other. But the problem is that it is too late to understand this truth, Chen Hugo has no chance to save all this, and Hugo Lancaster still has. Thinking of this, Hugo's heart was empty, like an unfathomable cliff. He tried to land, but he couldn't find the limit there. Chills.

In the end, Hugo didn't go home either, because he knew that if he went home rashly, it would only be self-defeating. If he wanted to improve the relationship between himself and Adam, he could only do it step by step. It was a long march, and now, He hasn't even started yet.

On Christmas day, Hugo and Ernst on the second floor were left in the whole building. Everyone else went home for Christmas, but Hugo took the initiative to greet Ernst, but it was a pity that he posted it again. Cold ass, Ernst didn't intend to ignore him at all. Even so, Hugo prepared a Christmas gift for Ernst, not because he was too kind, but because he was spending Christmas alone now, with no relatives or friends, and Hugo was not very good at decorating Christmas trees. Understand, so there is no Christmas atmosphere in the house except for three red Christmas stockings.

Especially thinking about the relationship between himself and Adam, Ernst is also alone. Hugo does not know whether Ernst has a family or not, because he has hardly seen any Ernst in the year he came to live. of visitors. Regardless of Ernst's temper, or whether Ernst has family, at least he shouldn't be alone on this Christmas day. Therefore, Hugo decided to give Ernst a Christmas present, so there was still a little festive atmosphere.

When the clock struck midnight, Ernst opened the door to the room, saw the red Christmas stocking placed on the door, muttered "annoying guy", followed by a series of curses, hesitated, and finally took the stocking. into the house.

Hugo wrapped himself in a quilt and curled up on the billiard table in the hall, looking out from the large floor-to-ceiling glass window, watching the gorgeous lights of the whole city flickering dimly in the night, and finally extinguished a little bit with the passage of time. , and fell into a soft silence. The sound of TV special programs in the hall was still ringing, but Hugo had no intention of watching these programs.

A year flies by in a blink of an eye. People say that they miss their relatives during the festive season, although Christmas is not. It is a traditional festival in the country, and Hugo is no longer a yellow race now, but today he still misses his friends who died in glory and his parents who he hadn't seen in ten years.

Speaking of which, Hugo's life seems to be going well this year. In the year-end box office charts in 1992, both Hugo's films made it to the top 20.

Although Disney's classic animation "Aladdin" has always been overwhelmed by "the heroic wind of the sea of ​​justice", its long-term selling ability is very amazing, and finally became the year-end box office champion in 1992 with a data of 217 million; "Little Ghost" Although the word of mouth is far inferior to the first film, and the box office has shrunk a lot, it still became the year-end runner-up with 173 million US dollars; relying on its strong explosive force, it fell below the eyes of countless people. It trailed by $3 million and placed third on the 1992 box office list!

This box office list must have been unexpected by most people. The strength of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has become a microcosm of Hugo this year.

Behind "Righteous Sea Heroes", "Batman Returns", "Lethal Weapon 3", "Nuns Are Crazy", "Bodyguards", "Reverse Fighting Wisdom Stars", "Ben. Neng", "Pink League (A. League." Of. Their. Own)" and "Unforgiven (Unforgiven)" ranked fourth to eleventh respectively. At the same time, these eleven works are also the works that exceeded 100 million at the North American box office this year.

In addition, "Scent and Knowing a Woman", which won $80 million at the box office, ranked 16th behind "Four Hundred Years of Vampire Zombies".

This year's topical works include "Aladdin", the masterpiece of animation, "Ben. Neng", which has triggered countless taboo discussions, and "Yihai Xiongfeng", which is not expected to complete the Jedi counterattack. These three films joined forces to make up the 1992 film landscape, and it's becoming more and more obvious that a series of sequel films including "Home Alone 2", "Batman Returns" and "Lethal Weapon 3" are not satisfactory. It is a rare achievement for the wonderful performance of Hugo's two films.

It is conceivable that after three consecutive years of lows and the humiliation of the Golden Raspberry Awards, after the year-end list came out, people were surprised by Hugo's performance. Look at the intensive publicity schedule at the end of the year, and then look at the various This is evident from the overflowing praise from the big news media. 1992 can be regarded as a special year for Hugo. From the Golden Raspberry Award at the beginning of the year to the high-spiritedness at the end of the year, Hugo has experienced a roller coaster year.

The two films "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness" and "Scent of a Woman" achieved both word-of-mouth and box office win-win results, especially "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness" ranked third in the year-end box office rankings, which is an unprecedented height. At the end of the year, the two films The continuous efforts of the month also marked that Hugo officially stepped into the ranks of first-line actors from the second-tier, sweeping away the decadent state of the past three years, and people began to look forward to his performance in the future.

This is not only a victory in 1992, but also a victory in Hugo Lancaster's ten-year actor career, and a victory in Chen Hugo's ten years of hard work and a year of struggle after crossing. This hard-won victory made Hugo emotional.

Logically speaking, Hugo should be excited about this year's achievements, and the fact is that he is indeed very happy, because this is the result of his own efforts and struggles. The hard work and persistence of the whole process, Hugo It couldn't be clearer, and the happiness in my heart was even more surging. But on Christmas Eve, Hugo was not happy at all because he was alone.

It's nothing to do with Uma, nothing to do with friends like Charlize and Joseph, it's just about family. Christmas was supposed to be a day for family reunions, but Hugo sat alone in his Los Angeles rental house watching the stars out of the window, the middle of the table. The Chinese takeaway was quietly placed there. Not only was he unable to sit at the same table with his father for dinner, but he still had no contact with his mother. Hugo even began to wonder if his speculation was wrong.

Could it be that the relationship between his predecessor and his mother Lena is not good? Or is it that the father forcibly cut off the connection between the mother and himself, which led to the deterioration of the relationship between Hugo and his father? Otherwise, there are some unknown secrets in it...

Hugo didn't have any clues, and could only follow the dog-blood line in the soap opera to think a lot, which made the already irritable head even more unclear. Life was already chaotic enough, and trivial things such as Ron Mayer and Tracy Jacobs emerged one after another; now there is a family relationship that is constantly being cut off and chaotic, and what is even more terrifying is that Hugo is now There was no clue, so that he could only stand in the same place with his hands and feet tied, not daring to take any step at will, lest he would step on some unknown landmine.

Hugo began to miss his past life, if it were Christmas 2014, what would he do? He should continue to perform at a party with his pals to die for, or on his way to another show; then, he should hesitate to call home, but finally give up because They don't have Christmas at home; then they may be booed off stage at a party, but continue to stand on stage and sing; and then they'll ride in the back of a van In the carriage, singing loudly to the frigid wind, driving away the cold...

When the clock struck midnight, Hugo whispered to himself, "Merry Christmas." Then he said in Chinese silently in his heart, "Chen Hugo, Merry Christmas."

In a daze, Hugo fell asleep. He had a long, long dream. He dreamed of glory to death and stepped on the stage of the Midi Rock Festival. He dreamed that he was separated from his parents. Meeting again in ten years, he dreamed that he was back in the arms of 2014, where there was sunshine, music, laughter, friends, and relatives...
