Chapter 42 042

"Hugo, think about it, think about it with your head," Al said a lot of words, a little tired, gasping for breath, he couldn't help but slow down his speech and adjust his breathing, "Remember the last time I What did you say to me?"

"Don't think about acting, think about the role." Hugo forced himself to ignore the staff who went out to smoke one after another, and focused on Al's words, which he did. When Al asked, He immediately thought of this sentence.

Al nodded again and again, "Yes, that's it, think about it, what is Charlie's situation now, what is he facing, why can he feel the pain in Lieutenant Colonel's heart, and why is he able to prevent Lieutenant Colonel from committing suicide? Why is it him? , not a relative of the lieutenant colonel or a certain woman?"

Hugo took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to think about how Charlie came to this scene, not just thinking about this scene alone, but thinking about the whole movie, thinking about the ins and outs of the story, and thinking about Charlie's entire life. .

Charlie is a standard good student, but he was accidentally involved in the pranks of several rich second generation. He witnessed the process of three noble sons ripping off the school warden. There is George, another member of the rich second-generation quartet, so George and Charlie become witnesses. The school will not allow students to behave like this, so it intends to severely punish these students. They need George and Charlie to stand up and testify against the wrongdoers.

The housemaster used a recommendation to Harvard University and a full scholarship to induce Charlie to tell the truth, and at the same time threatened Charlie that he would be expelled if he did not tell the truth; at the same time, George used his friends to pressure Charlie and agreed that the two of them would be expelled. No one can stand up and testify against those "good friends", not even family members or anyone else.

Under such circumstances, Charlie and the lieutenant colonel came to New York. During the few days in New York, Charlie unexpectedly discovered that George's actions were completely in line with the lieutenant colonel's speculation after hearing this: George told his Father, and his father is a very powerful man. He stood up and solved the problem for his son. Under the power of his father, George is likely to betray his so-called friends. For George, his In the future, he will still rely on his father's wings to walk steadily, and this incident has no impact at all. However, this puts Charlie in a very embarrassing position. What should he do: sell his friends in exchange for the opportunity to enter Harvard, or stick to his principles and never break his promise.

Charlie is not willing to betray his friends against his own principles, but if he insists on it and George speaks out, then he will be expelled from school, and maybe his life will take a huge turning point from here. The lieutenant colonel knew that Charlie was reluctant to speak, because this was Charlie's principle, even if he was worried that he would be expelled, even if his life was likely to change, even because of those wealthy children who he was not used to. But that's Charlie's principle, and he doesn't want him to compromise.

So Charlie knew maybe his life was going to be ruined by his own damn stupid principles.

Under such circumstances, the lieutenant colonel chose to commit suicide, because he felt that there was no hope in life; but why wasn't that the case with Charlie? In fact, in this incident, Charlie insisted on his own principles, and he was walking into an abyss step by step. Although being expelled from school is not the real end of life for a young man, it is not the end of his life for a young man who aspires to go to Harvard University. , For a poor student who uses knowledge to change his fate, this is indeed no different from suicide, because it means that he killed his dream with his own hands.

What does this feel like? On the one hand, Charlie knew that it wasn't worth sacrificing his future for a few rich kids, because those rich kids wouldn't thank him, they could still make it to the top with the help of their families, even if they were punished and expelled from the school, they didn't have anything to do. Influence, but Charlie is different; but on the other hand, Charlie is unwilling to violate his own principles: he can't betray his friends, even if he himself feels that his persistence is worthless, but he still wants to persevere.

How mixed it must feel.

Suddenly, Hugo thought about his own life. In fact, the prospect of underground rock bands was very slim. He knew it when he was in school. Although they were amateur music lovers, he also knew that domestic rock and roll had long been in the late 1990s. Rapidly rising and then rapidly withering, the underground rock band has almost no way out, and the worst thing to say is that there is no hunger or three meals a day. But knowing that this is the case, Glory to the Dead still pursued their dreams without turning back. In their own words, they were "seeking their own death", but even so, they were still painful and happy in those ten years of life.

Perhaps, this is the principle, unwilling to insist on compromising with reality.

Suddenly, Hugo understood.

The reason why Charlie was able to impress the lieutenant colonel was because of his integrity and kindness, and also because he was unwilling to give up his principles even under the pressure of power. For lieutenant colonel, his simplicity seemed like darkness. The long-lost sunshine in the middle also made the lieutenant colonel blind, but he could still feel the sunshine from the depths of his heart.

So how did Charlie feel in this dispute? He can't accept giving up without a fight, he can't accept giving up life, and he can't accept violating principles. In his opinion, even if you suffer setbacks and fail in life, you can still start over. As long as you want, you can start again anytime, anywhere. set off. But once you give up, there is no turning back, and you may regret it for the rest of your life. This is Charlie's own beliefs and principles. Even if he is confused, even if he is tangled, even if he is shaken, even if he is uncertain, he will still not change in the end, because he does not want to and does not want to.

At the same time, he is even more unable to accept the lieutenant colonel's abandonment. In his opinion, the lieutenant colonel is stubborn and strong. The most important thing is that the lieutenant colonel is a soldier, a soldier who has won countless honors and experienced a magnificent life. , such a lieutenant colonel will not give up, because this is the lieutenant colonel's glory, this is the lieutenant colonel's dignity, and it is the lieutenant colonel's principle.

Therefore, Charlie's feelings for the lieutenant colonel are very mixed but very firm. He believes that the lieutenant colonel chose to commit suicide is a shameful abandonment. He does not want to see the lieutenant colonel end with such a fate, not only because of his Integrity and kindness, but also because of his admiration for the lieutenant colonel.

It is precisely because of Charlie's emotion that Charlie, who was in a weak position, persisted to the end in the stormy catharsis of the lieutenant colonel, and successfully dispelled the lieutenant colonel's idea of ​​suicide.

After realizing this, Hugo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Let's try again!" As soon as Hugo looked up, he saw the expectant eyes of Al and Martin in front of him, not only them, but also many people around the staff. They all focused their attention on Hugo. It seemed that everyone was waiting while Hugo was thinking.

This is not only because of their seriousness in their work, but also because of their curiosity: Hugo, who won the Golden Raspberry Award for the worst actor award, can really burst out wonderfully in the face of a veteran actor like Al. Acting?

Martin looked at Hugo again. It wasn't that he didn't trust Hugo, but the difficulty of this scene was definitely the most difficult challenge Hugo faced in the whole movie, and of course the most outstanding place. The previous seven NG Neither was able to make Hugo find the state, so this time Martin had reason to express his concerns.

But unexpectedly, this time Hugo gave a firm look in response. This must have been something Martin had never seen before. The energy emanating from those amber eyes made Martin's Inexplicably calm down.

Hugo stood up again and walked in front of Al, "I'm sorry just now, I'll do my best this time." Al didn't say anything, just patted Hugo on the shoulder, he was also old now, and the emotional conflict was like this In a violent scene, Al also faces a physical challenge, and everything is not so easy.

At this time, the drama management had called in all the staff who were smoking outside, indicating that the filming was going to start again. After the staff came in, although they didn't say anything, there was no particular sarcasm or dissatisfaction when they looked at Hugo. They just whispered and laughed and returned to their posts, as if Hugo, who was about to re-enter the shooting, was not worth it at all. A general mention. This shows what? It shows that the staff has no confidence in Hugo. They don't think that Hugo's acting skills will improve by leaps and bounds after this short period of time. Perhaps, this scene will have to rely on Al to support him in the end.

Facing the attitude of the staff, Hugo had no way to accuse them, because if he stood in the position of the staff, I am afraid he would have the same idea, but understanding is understanding, it does not mean that Hugo will admit defeat. He knew that his actual performance was the best way to fight back against this disdainful attitude than words. Even if the promise is gimmicky and the next performance is just as bad, then you only make yourself more miserable, and a thousand words can't compare to a good performance.

Therefore, Hugo didn't say anything, but his fists clenched involuntarily, secretly cheering for himself.

Before walking to the shooting location, Hugo saw Joseph standing in the crowd. Joseph always crossed his arms and stood outside the scene like a statue watching the shooting of the scene. He did not accuse Hugo, nor did he. I didn't worry about Hugo, nor did I encourage Hugo, but just silently paid attention to Hugo's state. Seeing the sight projected by Hugo, Joseph just nodded slightly, that's all.

But Hugo knew that Joseph was worried about himself. He stood still and watched his shooting, which was actually his greatest support. Hugo gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and tiptoed lightly on the spot to adjust his mentality. Don't pay attention to other people's eyes, and put all his energy into the upcoming shooting.

Hugo did not have any other extra actions, and went to the position designated by the drama management with Al again, and waited for Martin's order to "start shooting", and then started shooting.
