214 Past and present lives
The fragments of memory were pieced together into a complete puzzle, and the scattered pictures in Hugo's mind were completely connected at this time, and the ins and outs of the matter were already clear.
The relationship between Lancaster and Tracy, Hugo doesn't know if it's accurate to define it in terms of love, but the intricate entanglement between the two people is undoubted. Thinking back to life in Lancaster in 1991, suck. Behind drugs, alcoholism, and car accidents, it is simply because of the failure of his career that he fell into the drunken 'fan' of Hollywood, or is it partly due to the sinking and pain of his inner feelings.
And is Tracy's revenge on Lancaster really just a failed audition for "Big River Love"? I'm afraid it's more than that. There may be many unaware opportunities to cut off possible 'sex' before Lancaster is found, and Lancaster is sucked. In the case of the drug and alcohol scandal, it is unknown whether Tracy contributed to the trouble.
Watching Lancaster sink little by little, for Tracy, there is the thrill of revenge, but also the heartache of madness. This also allows everything to be explained afterwards.
When Hugo auditioned for the first time at the Four Seasons Hotel for "River Love", he accidentally saw Tracy and Brad, at that time Tracy did not greet Hugo, but the line of sight was complicated, perhaps in Tracy's mind, she wanted to see Hugo begging him for mercy on the one hand, and on the other hand, she also hoped to demonstrate to Hugo on the side through Brad, and at the same time she also looked forward to Hugo returning to her deep down.
But unfortunately, Lancaster at this time is no longer the original soul, Hugo not only has no emotional entanglement with Tracy, but even no memory, so Hugo treats a stranger and does not give any response. This dealt Tracy the fatal blow.
After that, Joseph broke through many difficulties to win Hugo's public audition opportunity to "smell the 'woman'", and it can be felt from here that it is not difficult for Hugo to suppress him at the bottom. It's just that I didn't expect that the "smelling fragrance and knowing the 'woman'" that leaked between Tracy's fingers was seized by Hugo and successfully got this corner 'color'.
So when Hugo saw Tracy for the second time at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Tracy turned a blind eye to Hugo with indifference, when Tracy was 'dealing' with Universal Pictures, in fact, planning the project "Schindler's List", and her hatred began to grow with Hugo's indifference and strangeness.
During that time, although Hugo first participated in the premiere of "The Last Analysis" and then won the opportunity to "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", in fact, life still did not change, he did not participate in the recording of any programs, nor did he get any extra job opportunities, and Hugo was in a state of struggle on the baseline of life throughout 1992. Although there is no evidence, it is difficult not to suspect that Tracy and Lang are behind the scenes.
After the release of "Smell the 'Woman'", Hugo and Tracy had a third meeting in the company corridor, and during that meeting, Hugo and Tracy had a brief 'exchange' conversation, and Tracy tried to remind Hugo of Lang's small movements behind his back. Now it seems that it can be understood that Hugo's frequent exposure during that time once again awakened Tracy's inner struggle, and she wanted to test Hugo, but unfortunately Hugo was still indifferent and detached at that time and did not respond too much, so after Tracy gave a warning hint, she left without even saying "goodbye": she was disappointed again.
Hugo's previous guess was not wrong, Tracy was targeting herself, and she was walking to her opposite side step by step, becoming more and more resolute, and the catalyst of this qiē was her own indifference, which not only extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Tracy's heart, but also completely ignited the flame of revenge.
Until then, Hugo had been hoping to 'figure out' what was really going on between Lancaster and Tracy, otherwise he would always be on the back foot. But today, when all the qiē 'figured' it was understood, Hugo not only did not relax, but became extremely heavy.
There is no absolute right and wrong in love, this is a truth. Because in the love world of two people, everyone has their own position, as well as their own thoughts and concepts, misunderstandings, misses, entanglements, hesitations, impulsives and other complex feelings make love more unpredictable.
In Lancaster's opinion, Tracy betrayed himself first, because she cheated on her body, so he was angry, and then Tracy repeatedly made trouble, which made Lancaster ruthless and started a new relationship. But Tracy has always been unwilling to give up, which has become a burden for Lancaster, so he can only hurt Tracy again and again to protect himself and avenge Tracy's betrayal.
In Tracy's opinion, she was only hesitant because she loved Lancaster too much and was too scared, and her physical infidelity did not make any sense, because her 'spirit' was in love with Lancaster. But Lancaster couldn't wait to get in touch with other 'women'. Love, even before leaving herself, fell in love with another 'woman', which Tracy could not tolerate. Her sincerity was worthless in Lancaster's hands, which made Tracy incarnate a vengeful 'female' god.
Is it Lancaster's fault? Or is it Tracy's fault? Maybe both. But this qiē has nothing to do with Hugo, because he was not a participant in this relationship from beginning to end; But it is inextricably linked with Hugo, because the current Hugo is Lancaster.
From Hugo's point of view, it is impossible for him to give Tracy any response, not only because he is with Uma now, but also because he has never been in that relationship and has no qualifications or need to respond. Therefore, the hatred between Hugo and Tracy cannot be resolved, although Hugo wants to sympathize with Tracy, after all, she is also a 'woman' who is crazy about love, but Hugo has no way and no possibility.
Now Tracy has completely stood on the opposite side of Hugo, and it is unknown how the "Schindler's List" will develop, but Hugo can be very sure that today's "sugar-coated trap", Tracy will appear at this moment in Sidney's pie, and it is definitely not an ordinary guest. What's more, at this time, Tracy's eyes looking at Hugo were full of revenge and pride, with the inevitability of the victor, as well as sharp provocations and attacks, almost in the most direct way to launch a war against Hugo.
Hugo knew that if it could, Tracy would also destroy the opportunity to "Sleepless in Seattle" as well, and did everything possible to exclude Hugo from any of the film projects. Although Tracy has limited connections and is not at all the top among producers, Hugo knows that the angry 'woman' is crazy, and she will do everything she can to achieve her goals.
Such a terrible enemy makes people shudder. And Hugo, there is no possibility of retreat, and there is no room for compromise, this is the fight for life and death, Hugo must 'straighten' his 'chest' to face the challenge, otherwise he can only fall and retreat, and there is no other choice.
Therefore, Hugo straightened his waist slightly, looked at Tracy calmly and calmly, responded to Tracy's dagger-like gaze, and confronted each other so that the eyes of the two people 'excited' in the colorful light of the snow' ball'.
Tracy's reaction to Hugo was a little surprising, because in the past year, Hugo had been relatively passive when he met several times, no matter what gesture he made, whether it was indifference or expectation, or friendliness, Hugo was always in a state of passive acceptance of information, and this indifference made Tracy feel endless shame. But today, Hugo bravely faced his sight, this is the first time in a year that Tracy has expressed his anger and hatred for Hugo without any disguise, and Hugo actually faced himself at such a time!
In a year, Hugo has changed a lot, he has become sunnier, warmer, more brilliant, more gentlemanly, more friendly, Tracy has heard the latest news from Hugo intermittently from different friends, and she knows Hugo's ring. The poison was successful, she also knew that Hugo was now very restrained in drinking, she also knew that Hugo and Uma were in a stable relationship now, and she knew that Hugo was now working hard, which made Tracy even more angry and sad at the same time.
When she saw Hugo's amber 'colored' eyes embedded in the narrow peach 'flower' eyes, it was hazy as if it was 'covered' with a layer of 'fog', as if it was an endless abyss, making people unable to extricate themselves from it. Tracy bit the tip of her tongue hard to sober herself up, and the faint smell of blood brought Tracy back to her senses.
Tracy's eyes were like cobras nailed to Hugo, and then she spit out the snake hyacinth covered with venom, her eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the confident Hugo in front of her, she wanted to destroy him even more, as if she was ruining a 'fine' beautiful work of art, feeling distressed and regretful at the same time, but also an indescribable pleasure.
So Tracy opened her mouth slightly, and said to Hugo with her mouth shape, "I look at you (i. see。 you)。 With that, she lifted her chin slightly, gave a defiant 'show' a mocking smile, and then looked away, as if Hugo were just an insignificant speck of dust, and turned and whispered to her companion.
Hugo stood still, his eardrums constantly vibrated by the loud disco music, and in the flickering light, it was difficult for him to capture the details of Tracy's expression, and he could only see the sharp eyes that pierced Hugo's nerves. Then he saw Tracy open his mouth to speak, and the two of them were separated by a whole hall, all the lively crowds, talking in the air, Hugo tried to distinguish Tracy's mouth shape in the dim vision, but it was too difficult, and Hugo could not read the 'lips', he could only vaguely see that it was about three words, but he didn't know what it was.
But inexplicably, Hugo's mind came to mind the demonic eye of the Great Demon King Sauron in the "Lord of the Rings" series of movies, and then whispered to the Lord of the Rings, "I look at you (i. see。 You)" This silent sense of terror permeated the air. Suddenly, a cold wind blew from nowhere, making Hugo shiver and sober up.
Hugo knew that the war had just begun. Lovers in the "past life", enemies in the "present life", this is a war that cannot be retreated, even if it is just a step back, it will be crushed.
