"Hugo, think, think with your head," Al said a lot of words, a little tired, panting, and couldn't help but slow down his speech and adjust his breathing, "remember the last time I said to you?" ”

"Don't figure out the acting, figure out the role." Hugo forced himself to ignore the staff who were going out to smoke one after another, and instead focused on Al's words, which he did, and when Al asked, he immediately thought of it.

Allian nodded, "Yes, that's it, think about it, what is Charlie's situation now, what is he facing, why can he feel the pain in the lieutenant colonel's heart, and why can he prevent the lieutenant colonel from committing suicide?" Why him, not a lieutenant colonel's relatives or some woman? ”

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

Charlie is a standard obedient student, but he is unexpectedly involved in the pranks of several rich second generations, he witnesses the process of three noble sons corrupting the school warden, and there is another person in the rich second generation of foursome George, so George and Charlie become eyewitnesses. The school will not tolerate such behavior, so it intends to punish this group of students severely, and they need George and Charlie to stand up and testify against the wrongdoers.

The warden's supervisor was escorted to Harvard University. uy) and a full scholarship to induce Charlie to tell the truth, while also threatening that Charlie would be expelled if he didn't; At the same time, George used the righteousness of his friends to suppress Charlie, and agreed that neither of them could stand up to testify against those "good friends", and there was no need to sue Sù's family or anyone else.

In such a situation, Charlie and the lieutenant colonel came to New York, in the past few days in New York, Charlie unexpectedly found that George's actions were completely in line with the lieutenant colonel's speculation after hearing this: George sued his father, and his father was a very powerful man, he stood up to solve the matter for his son, under the power of his father, George is likely to betray his so-called friends, and for George, his future will still rely on his father's wings to walk steadily, This incident did not have any impact at all. However, this puts Charlie in a very awkward position, what should he do: betray his friends in exchange for a chance to enter Harvard, or stick to his principles and never break his promises.

Charlie was reluctant to betray his friends against his principles, but if he insisted on doing so, and George did, then he would be expelled from school, and perhaps his life would take a huge turn 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, and even because of those rich children who he was not used to, but this was Charlie's principle, and he didn't want to compromise himself.

So, Charlie knew that maybe his life was going to be ruined, 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 left in life; But why isn't Charlie like that? In fact, in this incident, Charlie insisted on his principles, and he was also walking towards an abyss step by step, although being expelled from school is not the real end of life for a young man, but for a poor student who aspires to go to Harvard University and change his fate with knowledge, this is indeed no different from suicide, because it is equivalent to killing his dreams with his own hands.

What is it really like? On the one hand, Charlie knows that it is not worth sacrificing his future for a few rich children, because those rich children will not thank him, they can still rise with the help of their families, even if they are punished and expelled from school, they have no impact, 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 feels that his persistence is worthless, but he still wants to persevere.

How mixed this feeling must be.

Suddenly Hugo thought of his own life, in fact, how slim the prospects of underground rock bands are, he knew when he was in school, although they are amateur music lovers, but also know that domestic rock has long risen rapidly at the end of the nineties and then withered rapidly, underground rock bands have almost no way out. But knowing that this is the case, the Glory to Death band still chased their dreams without hesitation, in their own words, it was "self-defeating", but even so, they were still painful and happy in those ten years of life.

Perhaps, this is the insistence on principle, unwillingness to compromise with reality.

Suddenly, Hugo understood.

The reason why Charlie was able to impress the lieutenant colonel was because of his integrity and kindness, but also because he was unwilling to give up his principles even under the pressure of power.

So how did Charlie feel during this dispute? He can't accept giving in without a fight, he can't accept giving up on life, he can't accept violating his principles, in his opinion, even if he suffers a setback and even if he fails in life, he can still start again, as long as you want, you can start again anytime, anywhere. 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 there is confusion, even if there is entanglement, even if there is vacillation, even if there is uncertainty, he will not change in the end, because he does not want to and does not want to.

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

Therefore, Charlie's feelings for the lieutenant colonel are very mixed but very firm, he thinks that the lieutenant colonel's choice to commit suicide is a shameful abandonment, and he does not want to see the lieutenant colonel end up 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 emotions that Charlie, who is in a weak position, persevered to the end in the catharsis of the lieutenant colonel, and successfully dispelled the lieutenant colonel's thoughts of suicide.

Thinking of 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 of the staff around him focused their attention on Hugo. It seems that while Hugo was thinking just now, everyone was waiting.

This is not only because of the seriousness of their work, but also because of their curiosity: Hugo, who won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor, can really burst out with wonderful acting skills in the face of a veteran actor like Al?

Martin looked at Hugo again, it's not that he doesn't trust Hugo, but the difficulty of this scene is definitely the most difficult challenge Hugo faces in the whole movie, and of course it is also the most brilliant place, the previous seven NG times have not been able to make Hugo find his state, so this time Martin has reason to express his concerns.

But unexpectedly, this time Hugo gave a firm look in response, this one must have not been seen by Martin before, the energy emanating from those amber eyes made Martin's heart inexplicably settle.

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 speak, just patted Hugo on the shoulder, he is also old now, and a scene where the conflict is so fierce is that Al still has to face the challenge of body, and it is not so easy.

At this time, the drama management had already called in all the staff who were smoking outside, indicating that filming was about to start again. After the staff came in, although they didn't say anything, there was no special sarcasm or dissatisfaction in Hugo's eyes, they just returned to their posts with a low voice and laughter, as if Hugo, who was about to return to filming, was not worth mentioning at all. What does this mean? 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 time, perhaps, this scene will still rely on Al alone to support it in the end.

In the face of the staff's attitude, Hugo has no way to blame them, because if he stands in the position of the staff, I am afraid that he will have the same idea, but understanding is understanding, which does not mean that Hugo will give in. He knew that for this disdainful attitude, his actual expression was the best means to fight back compared to words. Even if the promise is overwhelmed and the next performance is just as bad, then it only makes yourself more miserable, and a thousand words are not as good as a good performance.

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

Before walking to the filming position, Hugo saw Joseph standing in the crowd, Joseph always crossed his arms, standing outside the venue like a statue watching the filming of this scene, he did not blame Hugo, did not worry about Hugo, and did not encourage Hugo, just silently paid attention to Hugo's state. Seeing Hugo's gaze, Joseph only nodded slightly, and that's it.

But Hugo knew that Joseph was worried about himself, and he stood still and watched his shooting, which was actually the greatest support for himself. Hugo gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and gently tiptoed in place, adjusting his mentality, not paying attention to the eyes of others, and putting all his energy into the upcoming shoot.

Hugo didn't make any other superfluous moves, and walked back to the designated position of the drama with Al, waiting for Martin's order to "start shooting", and then went into filming.
