Chapter 1956: 1956 Persistence

Time froze at this moment. If the world could stand still at this moment forever, even the sky would collapse and the earth would collapse.

But this is not a doomsday pure land, but a real prison. A line of guards on regular patrol broke the tranquility of the surroundings from far to near with not absolutely neat steps, which made both Hugo and Charlize feel a little uncomfortable. When they raised their heads, they bumped into each other's eyes, those eyes The panic and restlessness in the depths made it impossible for the two of them to observe carefully, so they quickly looked away, and the atmosphere fell into a strange state for a while.

The steps of the guards passed in front of the two people. The chaotic steps covered the sound of the beating heart, allowing the two people to have a breathing space, and the tense mood was given a precious buffer time. When the sound of the steps disappeared again in another At the end of the side, Charlize raised her head, and the smile on her face had returned to her usual posture, "So, did you also go through this process last time?"

"Huh?" Hugo gave Charlize a puzzled look, and his reaction seemed a little slow due to his restlessness. For a moment, he thought he was about to lose her, and that fear swallowed him; for another moment, he thought he had her, and that kind of happiness surged; but in the next moment, he again Back to reality. The mixed emotions almost made him uncontrollable, and the fists behind him had to be clenched.

He couldn't live up to her trust. Charlize regards him as her best friend and the most trusted object. If he takes advantage of her vulnerability and sneaks in, then this friendship may really be ruined. Therefore, the more delicate the moment, the more he couldn't get past the thunder pool.

The clenched fists trembled slightly.

Charlize lowered her eyes slightly, her emotions gradually calming down, "I mean, did you feel the same way when you filmed 'Death Row'?"

Letting out a breath, Hugo's fists slowly relaxed, "Almost, that state is very subtle, as if...you can't distinguish between reality and illusion, even if you can truly feel everything around you. , but you completely lose all control."

These words made Charlize's attention completely return to Irene Enos, recalling the feeling just now carefully, she couldn't distinguish between her childhood self, Gerda who picked up the pistol, and Irene with gray eyes , that trembling feeling of empathy is always lingering. It's like Hugo said: She lost all control.

Hugo also refocused on the important things of the day, and this is the most focused moment for Charlize in recent times, or to put it more figuratively: this is the most "Charlize" moment, what she really does. For an actor to think about the script of "The Devil" and the role of Irene, this is also the most important moment for Charlize. So, Hugo is doing what he can to help.

"Actually, you have to experience this process by yourself, because this is your role and this is your stage." Hugo couldn't feel his knees anymore, so he fell to the ground directly, and his feet felt numb , I just felt a rustling sound in my head.

As soon as Charlize raised her head, she saw Hugo's grinning expression, and burst out laughing, but was stared at by Hugo, and she quickly reached out to pinch Hugo's feet, with a flattering expression on her face. That expression made Hugo a little more satisfied.

"I actually felt this way when I was filming 'The Truman Show' before. Because the line between me and Truman was so blurred that I couldn't tell whether I was in reality or in a lot of times. Filming, especially the atmosphere of the whole work, originally created this kind of ambiguity between reality and illusion. It is really difficult for me to distinguish all the differences.”

During the filming, Hugo felt deeply. It has been more than a month since the film was finished, but Hugo still has nightmares. Due to the particularity of the entire script of "The Truman Show", Hugo's devotion to the characters has never been deeper, even deeper than in "Death Row Walking", because the most terrifying situation is that Hugo can obviously control all situations. He could easily get into the drama and get out of the drama, but after returning to reality, he still couldn't help asking himself, "Is this really real?" Hugo couldn't get rid of the vicious circle of fear.

Just like the movie "Inception", everything is so real that I can't distinguish dream from reality. It's not just the acting, it's the strength of the script. Hugo also felt more and more that acting was a very interesting thing.

"I thought you had reached a high enough height that you wouldn't worry about such problems anymore." Charlize looked at Hugo in surprise.

This made Hugo laugh, "Why does this compliment sound like sarcasm." Charlize also thought about it, and couldn't help but draw the corners of her mouth, "Acting is always different, and it always needs to be learned. I wouldn't say 'The Truman Show' was more difficult to act than 'Death Row Walking' because it's two very different characters, but it's definitely not easier to play Truman than Matthew or Doe. Personally Speaking of Truman, I learned more new things—of course, the main reason is that this is comedy, something I have always wanted to try but never tried before.”

Charlize nodded her chin slightly. She could hear every word Hugo said clearly, but the meaning after connecting them was always a bit vague. She could vaguely understand a little bit, but she still couldn't really resonate, because She knew she hadn't reached that level yet.

"Maybe in the future, if I have a chance, I will also try to watch comedies, and I will really feel the state you mentioned. But... For now, I still decide to focus on Irene Enos Body." Charlize's confession made Hugo laugh a little awkwardly, and it seemed that he was deliberately showing off when Charlize said it - obviously Charlize hoped to achieve such an intention, watching Charlize's brow lightly In lightly bantering, the corners of Hugo's mouth drew a big arc, and he nodded, "Yes, you are absolutely right."

Charlize supported herself with her hands and tried to stand up, but found that her hands were still a little weak, and the first attempt was unsuccessful. When Hugo saw it, he wanted to stretch out his hands, but Charlize shook his head, bit his lower lip tightly, and tried again, and this time it succeeded.

Charlize looked down at Hugo who was sitting cross-legged on the spot, "Why, you still plan to order takeaway here?"

Hugo raised his head and glanced at Charlize speechlessly, "Don't even look at who did I fall to this point just now? My feet are numb now, and I can't stand up at all."

Charlize spread her hands with an innocent expression on her face, "I remember you said a long time ago that only women and children should not be messed with." Only women and villains are difficult to raise. After finishing speaking, Charlize stepped forward calmly and calmly, leaving Hugo on the spot like this.

Hugo sat where he was, grinding his teeth fiercely, and then slowly stood up, but the numbness of his feet forced him to stand still for a while, with a look of desire on his face. fairy. want. With a deadly tangled expression, after waiting for a while, he limped and quickly chased after her, "Woman!" Hugo roared, and threw himself on Charlize's back, pressing half of his body weight On to Charlize.

Charlize staggered, and almost rolled into a ball with both of them. The scene should be very bloody - the ground here is full of sand. "Hey, man!" Charlize gave Hugo a hard elbow in the stomach, but before hitting Hugo, Hugo dodged, but still wailed, "Oh!"

The two of them fought and walked towards the car like this, their heroic laughter softened the cold and gloomy prison, and it seemed that even the sunlight became warmer. The two chased and fought all the way, and finally looked at Hugo who had fled far away. Charlize raised his hands as a sign of surrender, indicating that he gave up, and this ended the fight like a kindergarten child.

"Do you know what Erin told me just now?"

"Um?"

"She said that life has no meaning for her. If the law does not sanction her, she may continue to kill. She feels that she is a cold-blooded serial murderer without any feelings. So she asked the court to revoke the designation for Her lawyer, and expedited the death sentence. If nothing happens, she may execute the death sentence 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 'Death Row Walking', an entertainment event in the prison, they saw this movie. So, she didn't want to let lies fill her life, she hoped to let the truth come out, and then get self-redemption Go to God. But... I don't believe it." There was a long silence, "I heard that she has been trying to contact Shelby, but has never been successful. Not long ago, her lawyer told her that Shelby was found. , but Shelby tore up her letter without hesitation. I'm not sure how much truth there is in the news, but..."

There was another long silence, "Hugo, tell me, what does it feel like to be abandoned by the whole world? Irene said, I have been the only lawyer and documentary director in the past six years. Someone who would come to meet her. Now she looks forward to meeting me most of the time every week. She said, 'This is a hope'."

The sound just fell down gently, as if there was no trace left, and then the sound of the car's engine sounded slowly, causing a series of ripples in the silent air, which further accentuated the heaviness and loneliness in the sound.
