Chapter 2025: 2025 Heartbeat
The setting sun fell all over the sky, and the whole world turned bright red in an instant, that soft but dazzling color seemed to be in the sky. Chinese ink and wash painting is general, swaying freely on the silk cloth in front of you, the pen moves like a dragon and snake, and turns left and right. People can't help but hold their breath, lest their rash actions will break the beautiful scenery in front of them.
The thousands of mountains and rivers between the phone seemed to disappear at this moment. Hugo and Charlize stood side by side, raised their chins slightly, and looked at Yun Juan Yun Shu hand in hand. Hugo couldn't help but turned his head to take a look, and then found that he was standing alone on the balcony on the twenty-third floor, which made him chuckle, "It's a pity that such a scene is only appreciated by one person .”
Charlize heard Hugo's voice with a slight smile, and seemed to be able to directly outline Hugo's expression at this time in her mind, which made Charlize gently close her eyes, feeling the lazy look of the sun shining on her eyelids. The taste in his mind blurted out almost in a whisper, "I'm with you, aren't I?"
"Hugo!"
"Sally!"
Almost at the same time, the shouting sound swept along with the strong wind, interrupting the train of thought of Hugo and Charlize. The two of them seemed to be wrapped in a warm halo, and were suddenly invaded by cold air. Subconsciously looked back. The two seemed to see each other in a halo. Hugo looked at Charlize's face that had been changed beyond recognition because of the special makeup that played Irene Enos, but recognized it from those moving eyes. She came; Charlize looked at the faint smile on Hugo's mouth, her heart beat faster and faster, and she just froze in place.
"Hugo." A person broke into the halo, and the whole figure was torn apart in the blurred light and shadow, and gradually became clear. It was Zamora. "The live broadcast is about to start, and the countdown is three minutes."
This brought Hugo back to his senses. The half-hour break was over in a blink of an eye. He froze for a moment, then smiled and shook his head helplessly, "I need to go back to record the show, and I'll talk to you later." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. Then walked back with Zamora.
Opening the door to the balcony, Hugo stood by the threshold, and couldn't help but look back at the sky that was burning like a flame behind him, still thrilling. Then, Hugo took a step forward, and the door behind him slowly closed, separating the inside and the outside into two worlds.
Charlize stood there in a daze, until someone patted her on the shoulder, she came back to her senses, raised her head in astonishment, and found that the person in front of her was the crew assistant, "Sally, the director asked me to Come here to ask you, are you in good condition? A professional doctor has come to the scene, you'd better go over and have a checkup."
Charlize returned to her soul, she nodded hesitantly, "Well, I see." The wind messed up her hair, Charlize pinned her loose hair behind her ears, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, " Give me two minutes, and I'll be there right away." The assistant stood there and looked, but he looked worried, and Charlize forced the corners of his mouth to twitch, "I'm fine, I won't jump from here."
Those words made the assistant turn pale with fright, but made Charlize chuckle lightly. Charlize patted the assistant's arm and said seriously, "I mean it, I'm fine." After a pause, the smile on the corner of Charlize's mouth ticked up slightly, and then he let out a long breath, "I'm fine." very good."
The assistant just turned around and left, but Charlize turned her head to look at the endless valley in front of her. The chaotic thoughts in her mind seemed to become extremely chaotic, but they seemed to become extremely clear in an instant.
Naturally, Charlize would not forget what happened just now, she could still feel Scott's neck with her hands, and the trembling that penetrated into her soul made her shiver twice. She originally wanted to practice the script with Hugo, but she failed to practice in the end, but at this time her thinking became extremely clear, and all the things Hugo said became clear, and she seemed to understand it easily The core of Hugo's discourse.
Her understanding of the role is correct, but it is still not in place and accurate. During the performance, when she lost herself completely, she completely lost control-neither Irene Enos nor herself, it was a completely wrong performance. The performance can get out of control, but it must be out of control on the right path, otherwise everything will be in vain.
In the final analysis, it is actually a matter of understanding the performance. Before the performance, she needs to sort out her emotions, figure out the beginning and end of the whole story, and then figure out what reactions Irene will make and why, and finally show it according to her understanding. When she puts herself into acting, what she needs is not thinking, let alone control, but release, release with all her heart.
It's like... like it was in "LA Confidential".
However, under the guidance of Hugo at that time, everything seemed so simple, but now it has become so difficult to try by yourself. She didn't really feel until today how important an excellent actor is, even Al Pacino didn't bring her such a feeling at the beginning.
So, what she needs to do now is to calm down, re-read the script carefully, and then outline Irene's every move in her mind.
Thinking of this, Charlize couldn't help showing a smile. It turned out that the matter was so simple, but she got into the corner and couldn't get out. In the past nearly a month, I have pushed myself to the limit step by step, but like a headless chicken, I don't know how to find a way out. But now, everything is suddenly clear.
In the phone call just now, Hugo seemed to say a lot of things, but he didn't seem to say anything. But that was how Charlize understood. This made the smile on the corner of her mouth more mixed, it was happiness, satisfaction, bitterness, and bewilderment.
Hugo is always like this, as if he can easily understand her inner thoughts, just a look or a word can make her feel... a sense of security. All the fear, confusion, and cold just now were like ice and snow meeting the sun. With a quick smile, her chaotic brain instantly cleared all the fog, and she couldn't help but let out a long mouthful of that kind of joyful feeling. foul air.
sense of security.
Charlize shook her head helplessly, she hadn't thought of this word for many years, it seemed that in her life, this word had lost its own meaning early, hidden in a dark corner, as if it had never been Existed in general. But now, such words popped up in her mind, calming down all the chaotic aura around her.
This feeling is very subtle, but also very strange, which makes people attached, but also makes people panic. But if there is one person in this world who can give her a sense of security, maybe it is only Hugo.
This thought popped up suddenly, startling Charlize. After being extremely flustered, it made Charlize feel a little absurd, and then she laughed softly. After laughing, Charlize calmed down, and quietly recollected the light beating of the heart just now, and the heartbeat was not intense, it was just a slight beating, like a shallow electric shock. It's like running around, but it makes the whole soul start to tremble slightly.
This isn't the first time, this isn't the first time Charlize has felt this way about Hugo, isn't it... isn't it? Charlize didn't dare to let herself continue to think about it, even just realizing such a possibility made Charlize feel flustered. But... If this is true, if those heartbeats are not only momentary thumps, but also cumulative falls, then what should she do?
Charlize tried to convince herself that all this was only because of the influence of Tyra Banks' words on Oscar night. The loss that passed by at the beginning caused ripples in her heart again, but it was only a momentary feeling That's all, because the "once" between her and Hugo was just two dates, but the "now" between her and Hugo is the precipitation of six years.
In the past, she was always able to convince herself successfully, but this time, Charlize failed, because the more she recalled, the more turbulent the numb beating of her heart became. The fragments of memory flooded her like a tide, and that kind of real and exact emotion made Charlize a little helpless. Because she knew that she and Hugo should be friends and not cross that line. This used to be her pride, whether it was Uma Thurman or Cameron Diaz, they all questioned her friendship with Hugo, but she never felt guilty and faced them uprightly, because she I firmly believe that the friendship between her and Hugo is not mixed with anything else, and she has never destroyed Hugo's feelings. But now, she couldn't control her heartbeat, and all her persistence fell apart in an instant, leaving Charlize at a loss.
However, if she and Hugo are not friends, what should their relationship be?
Hugo's handsome face appeared in his mind, but Charlize couldn't imagine Hugo's expression after he knew what he was thinking in his heart. Even a slightly astonished look in his eyes could shatter the friendship between them. Hugo always sticks behind the boundary line of friendship and never crosses the threshold. This is the foundation and pillar of friendship between opposite sexes. Once it is broken, everything will be destroyed.
Charlize closed her eyes again, took a deep breath, and then took a deep breath again, trying to calm down her mind, but the warmth in her eyes made her extremely embarrassed. Charlize raised her hands and rubbed her eyes vigorously, gritted her teeth to suppress the restlessness in her heart, but why did it become so difficult to breathe, as if all the air in her lungs had disappeared.
Opening his eyes again, the gorgeous sunset in front of him was burning and gradually disappearing on the horizon. The magnificent epic feeling made Charlize lightly clenched his fists, and finally turned around and walked towards the crew.
