Chapter 2037: 2037 Someone Returns

"Dingling, Dingling..." The phone rang, and Hugo was reading the script of "The Sixth Sense" tomorrow, preparing for the next filming. He raised his head and looked at the clock on the desk. It was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Who else would call him at this time.

Seeing the number on the phone screen, Hugo's sluggish brain froze for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up, "Call me at this time, could it be because your colleagues are all there?" After eating supper, you are about to lose control, so you asked me for help."

On the other end of the phone was Charlize Theron.

The filming progress of "Female Devil" was far slower than expected. It was originally expected to be finished three weeks ago, but as a result, director and screenwriter Patty Jenkins directly revised a large section of the plot, covering nearly Fifteen pages of content, which caused the entire shooting to be affected, not only the part of the modified content that needed to be re-shot, but also many scenes before and after that needed to be re-shot.

Adjusting the shooting brought enormous pressure to the entire crew, especially as the heroine, the pressure on Charlize was incomparable.

Without saying a word, Charlize started screaming towards the phone, "Ah..." Then the voice gradually rose, "Ah..." The piercing voice came out of the receiver, and Hugo couldn't help but Pulling the receiver away from his ears, he looked at the phone in surprise. His first reaction was that there was a problem with the communication, but the voice clearly belonged to Charlize.

Hugo thought for a while, then simply put the phone on the table, and waited quietly for Charlize to finish venting. As a result, the wait was nearly thirty seconds, and Charlize's yelling continued continuously, and it was okay. Constantly changing the tone, people can clearly feel the anger and boredom that has been accumulated in her heart for a long time.

After finally waiting for the shouting to end, Hugo picked up the phone, "So, the shooting encountered problems again?"

Charlize was out of breath, and she could clearly feel her fatigue at this time, "I really don't understand how you persisted." Although she was tired, it was obvious that she was tired After relaxing, the extreme tension was completely released in the thirty seconds just now.

Hugo knew that Charlize was talking about "Death Row Walking", "Actually, when I think about it now, I'm a little confused. That period of memory is not so clear."

In the process of playing the role of Irene Enos, Charlize faced unprecedented challenges. She walked on the wire rope almost every day, and there was a bottomless abyss under her feet. If she was not careful, she would collapse completely. This kind of pressure is not terrible. What is really terrible is that even if Charlize has played to the extreme, it does not necessarily mean that she is excellent, because the role of Erin is too complicated, too deep, and too difficult.

Charlize let out a long breath when she heard Hugo's familiar voice, and her tense mind relaxed slightly, "You know what? Irene's world is really too hopeless. When Shelby escaped, Her whole being collapsed, and the scene of her whole life falling apart was so cruel that it was almost breathless."

Hugo could guess that Charlize had another very difficult day today. This kind of pressure came not only from the body, but also from the psychology. He put pressure on the actors from all aspects, and there were only two results, or they collapsed completely. , Let the whole work be destroyed; or break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, blending with the characters and the work, there is no other possibility.

Charlize has been working hard, studying hard, and never giving up. She gritted her teeth even when the pressure was about to break her down. In the most difficult moments, 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 from the other end of the phone, "Shut up! Can't you? Mom .Shut up? Let me be quiet for a while!"

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

After a while, Charlize finally finished complaining, and she let out a long breath, "Sorry, I was like a bitch just now." This sentence made Hugo laugh out loud, but Hugo did not speak, but continued to remain silent.

He didn't hear Hugo's response, but Charlize wasn't worried. He just slowly adjusted his breathing, and then fell silent with the handset. 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 even breathing and the rhythmic heartbeat, all the anxiety around him settled down.

In fact, after complaining just now, Charlize hadn't completely calmed down, but now this peaceful airflow made her breathing gradually stabilized, her chest that was burning like fire also cooled down, and even the chaotic thoughts in her brain gradually calmed down. sort out.

"Why don't you talk?" After three minutes or five minutes, Charlize could already feel the slight heat of the phone, and then she spoke, her tone had returned to her usual normal.

Hugo drew the corners of his mouth lightly, and chuckled, "I thought you forbid me to speak." A tease made Charlize roll her eyes, but she didn't refute, and Hugo didn't continue to pursue Typing fiercely, "When will your filming end? Why do I feel that you have been filming this work for a lifetime?"

Charlize was also amused by Hugo's words, "Actually, tomorrow is the last scene, but..." Charlize shrugged, "I didn't feel the pressure relieved at all, but felt that I was becoming more and more nervous. Heavier and more oppressive, as if trapped in quicksand, the more you struggle, the deeper you sink."

Hugo knew this feeling, but it was actually getting too deep into the drama, which needed time to brew and calm down, and there was no other way, "Then when is the movie released? Didn't you say last time that you plan to get it at Sundance?" go?"

"Petty said Christmas, and David has already nodded in agreement." Charlize's tone was quite relaxed, after all, this is not her job. David Geffen is the producer of "Female Devil", so it's his job to get the nod.

Hugo is more familiar with the work of the producer, and he can't help but frowned slightly, "Is there enough time?" There are only less than three months left.

Charlize pursed her lips, "Petty edited while filming, and without any special effects, so there should be no problem."

Hugo pondered for a while, "Then it will be busy at the end of the year, maybe you can go to Sundance to see it. It will be good for your works." Charlize on the other end of the phone answered absently. This made Hugo chuckle, but considering that Charlize has not been in the state recently, it is not surprising, "Where do you plan to go on vacation after the film is finished?"

For Charlize, this movie can be said to be an important turning point in her career. It is different from the wonderful performance in "LA Confidential" because it was driven by Hugo, Kevin and others. "Not just a huge breakthrough, but she almost did it all by herself. Therefore, during the past period of time, Charlize was really too tired and needed a good rest.

"Your villa in Long Beach should be unused recently, right?" Charlize had already figured it out, and she needed to calm down for a while, "I've got my bikini ready."

"On your current figure?" Hugo's rhetorical question immediately made Charlize start to gnash her teeth. In order to play the role of "The Devil", Charlize actually gained weight on purpose - in order to get close to Irene's figure, and she can't exercise, so Charlize has some fat on her waist recently.

Hugo originally thought that Charlize would start to refute, but after waiting for about two seconds, he did not hear Charlize's voice, which made Hugo take down the phone and look at it twice. When Guo was about to ask, he heard Charlize's voice from the other end of the phone, "It's you!"

This made Hugo stunned. This sentence was obviously not meant for him, so who is it? Because there was not only surprise in Charlize's voice, but also unbelievable anger and repulsion, "Why are you here?" Charlize's voice could even hear the sound of teeth rubbing.

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

But Charlize did not fail to hear Hugo's voice, but froze in place, as if looking at the person in front of her. After a short silence, I heard a faint voice coming from the other end of the phone. Judging from the audio, it should be a man, but due to the distance between the phone and the distance, Hugo couldn't hear what it was. thing.

"You...you..." Charlize seemed to be stimulated by the other party's words, she couldn't help but stutter, and even her voice began to tremble uncontrollably, "I...I..." This made Hugo feel a little worried, Could it be that Charlize was in some danger, he couldn't help shouting, "Sally! Sally? What's the matter, what happened?"

But even though Charlize put the phone to her ear, she still couldn't hear Hugo's voice, all her attention was focused on what happened in front of her, "You...why...I...get out! You, you shouldn't be here, I... ah! Get out, get out!" Charlize roared angrily, after the roar, Charlize gasped sharply, and then muttered in a low voice, "Don't come near me , You...I..." Stuttering, Charlize ran quickly, and the whistling wind could even be heard in the receiver, leaving all the chaos behind.
