Chapter 332 332 Equal Conversation

"How dare you!" Steven was instantly furious. He put so much effort into this script, which is absolutely unprecedented, and such a small actor like Hugo dared to question his professionalism and concentration. Steven lost his mind, "You don't know the torment in my heart, you don't know the pain I've endured, you don't know the energy I put into this drama, you don't know the impact of those real pictures on me, you don't know Knowing what that history means to me... What are you, what qualifications do you have to stand there and mock me, and what qualifications do you have to stand in front of me and talk to me?"

Hugo raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. He didn't open his mouth to refute or confront him, but just stood quietly, allowing Steven to vent all his inner anger.

Hugo knew that when facing family, Steven sought warmth; when facing friends, Steven sought solace. But neither Kate Capshaw nor Robin Williams were obviously the targets of Steven's anger, as they were both friendly sources of help. But when the negative emotions are suppressed to a certain extent, they must be vented, otherwise they will only cause internal injury or collapse.

Hugo is an actor himself, and he knows this feeling. During the "Sleepless in Seattle" period, he wrote songs to calm his emotions; during the "Schindler's List" period, he could not find sustenance, and his heart The torment also made him almost pushed to the edge. So, Steven needs to vent, he needs to, and Mars hits Earth.

After Steven had finished speaking, Hugo waited for a while, looked at Steven, who was gasping for breath, and made sure that he did not speak again, Hugo said, "So, you are the only one suffering in your heart, only You suffer alone, and you are the only one with such rich mental activities?" Hugo didn't yell, he still maintained his calmness just now, but frowned, and a strong sense of sarcasm vented out, " What are those survivors of the Holocaust? Are they just decorations? Don't you see the tears of the ladies breaking down in the shower, don't you see the shame on the faces of the old men when they are asked to strip naked and struggle?"

"You!" Steven shouted loudly. He stood up and took big strides towards Hugo, but he was too angry to speak, so he could only use his right hand. The index finger pointed at Hugo, and then looked at Hugo with trembling fingers angrily.

Hugo didn't flinch, but went up to meet him desperately, "What's wrong with me? You asked me to play a Nazi, am I enjoying it? Don't you see how much I struggled to play this role well? and pain? But I didn't complain, didn't shout, because I knew my pain was nothing compared to Regina, compared to Ludger, and I didn't go through those years, what I called ' Empathize with 'It's all bullshit! Yours too!"

Hugo's words made Steven's face suddenly turn blue. Director Roman Polanski had experienced those years firsthand. He was in Krakow when he was eight years old, when the Nazis moved Jews from Krakow's ghetto. When he got to Plasov, he escaped, which is why the story behind "The Pianist" is so true.

But Steven was not like that. He was born in Cincinnati, USA, and grew up in an ordinary family. In his early life, the worst experience was probably his parents divorced and his studies were bad. Hugo's words undoubtedly stung Steven's inner pain. When visiting Auschwitz not long ago, Steven was only shocked, but did not "cry". For this, Steven blamed himself very much, because he realized that he had not really experienced those hard years, This also made "Schindler's List" weigh more heavily on his shoulders.

"Let me tell you," Steven said breathlessly after being extremely angry, but lowered his voice, like an unstable combination of gunpowder that could be detonated at any time, "I have the ability to put you Bring it to Poland, and I'm equally capable of getting you back to Hollywood, and you won't find any job in the future! Any!"

"This is your response to me? It's like when you were halfway through filming, you chose to escape because you were in too much pain, and made the whole crew worry about you, your wife, your children, your friends, and your friends. Everyone is waiting for you? And now, in the face of my accusation, the answer you can give me is to fire me?" Hugo clenched his teeth tightly, not letting himself fall under Steven's fierce eyes Feng, in fact, Hugo is also a little stunned at the moment. At first, he just wanted to be agitated, but after all his emotions were vented, Hugo also lost his reason and couldn't stop the car. All the irritability in his heart, Fear, struggle, and pain all erupted at this moment.

In fact, Hugo, like Steven, needs to vent.

"So, you are a coward! A coward!" Hugo said loudly, "You dare not face those pains? Those old people whose hair is about to fall out and can't walk are willing to face the cruel cruelty directly. History, but you have no courage? Is this the answer you gave me?"

"If that's the case, then don't shoot this movie, don't start this project!" Hugo's inner turmoil was unscrupulously vented, and he has now entered a state of self-absorption. Who is the person standing in front of him? It doesn't matter at all. "The real meaning of our filming is to reproduce that history and warn future generations. I believe you know this better than anyone else, and we are the pawns in your hands, all for the sake of This is a true and moving story, not only you, but every one of us is working hard, every one of us is suffering, but you choose to be a coward? It's ridiculous."

Hugo's words made Steven stunned like this, and his whole face turned pale in an instant, but Hugo's words still didn't finish, "If you want to fire me, then... then do it!" Hugo's words paused for a moment, but he said it without hesitation, but his worries were firm. This was his choice, even if he faced an uncertain future, "because I would not choose to be a coward!"

It was only at this moment that Steven regained his senses and looked at the young man in front of him seriously, as if he had just met for the first time today. Hugo's amber eyes shone with incomparably firm light at this time, bursting out with unyielding courage, those soft lips were only stretched into a straight line, embellished with strength and tenacity, and the soldier-like neatness. At this time, the hairstyle outlines his handsome face to outline the iron blood and strength that remained after bathing in the flames of war.

Steven found that he never really knew Hugo, just from his appearance, Hugo was a bright young man, but in fact Hugo's temperament was full of countless possibilities. The role of Meng makes people tremble, and it also shows the incomparable strength of his heart.

Thinking of this, Steven murmured twice, trying to say something, but found that the words were spinning in his throat, and he couldn't say anything. Steven has been in the industry since 1971 and has been in the 22nd year. He has seen all kinds of people, and he has also seen people who are a hundred times tougher and stronger than Hugo, but the Hugo in front of him is It was so persuasive that Steven couldn't refute, and he could only whisper in the end, "I just want to slow down... slow down."

Steven rubbed his aching temples, but after all, he didn't hold on any longer, he let out a long breath, as if he wanted to express his inner depression and entanglement, "However, you are right, this is The filming process of this work is a torment for everyone, and I am the director and producer, so I should shoulder this responsibility, rather than hiding in the house alone to heal myself."

Steven's speech was very vague, and Hugo could only listen to a half-understood one, but Hugo didn't interrupt Steven because he knew that Steven wasn't really talking to him, just trying to sort it out. Just a thought. After some catharsis, Hugo gradually calmed down, and the darkness in his heart seemed to be scattered little by little with the shouting, but Hugo knew that this was only temporary, unless the filming ended, he would be There is no way to completely step out of the role. Even so, the brief release eased Hugo's tense shoulders a little.

The room was very quiet, as if half a century had passed, Hugo saw that Steven's excited expression finally calmed down completely, and then he said, "Have you ever thought that it would be me coming to talk to you? "

"No." Steven shook his head, he thought it would be producer Kathleen. Kennedy, she has been working together since "Alien E. T", and the two have worked together for nearly ten years. It is one of the closest partners.

Hugo was not surprised by this answer, he shrugged, "Actually, neither did I. When Robin said this proposal, I thought he must be crazy."

"Yes, this is really a bad idea." Steven chuckled, although it was only a little sound, the corners of his mouth could not be raised at all, but he still laughed.

Hearing Steven's words, Hugo couldn't help but chuckle softly. The whole experience just now was really unbearable. The only thing Hugo remembered now was that he yelled at Steven Spielberg. Now, as for the specific content, it seems a little vague - when people fall into anger, they often don't say anything, so that they don't remember what they said afterward.

"I think I should leave, the crew is still waiting for you." Hugo was silent for a while, pointed in the direction of departure, and then stepped forward. He and Steven were not friends, so the two of them roared at each other. After that, the atmosphere was rather awkward, so leaving should be a wiser choice.

Looking at the back of Hugo leaving, Steven suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid that I will really fire you? You know, I will really do it."
