Superstar

Hugo lay quietly on the bed. Looking at the boring scenery outside the window, there is an unknown bird resting on the tall pine tree. The bird is standing on the branch, pecking its feathers, and the warm summer sun is projected on On it, the lightly dancing dust outlines an outline around the bird, as if it has been inlaid with a thin layer of gold.

Then the bird suddenly fluttered its wings and flew high, agitating a piece of dust and spinning vigorously, creating several vortices, but after spinning, it slowly settled down, and finally returned to calm again, flowing slowly in the air.

Hugo just lay down quietly, looking at the changing and unchanging scenery outside the window. He didn't speak, move, or express. Even the amber eyes didn't have any color, as if lost. It was like a soul, and only a body was left lying on the bed. On, motionless.

When Adam Lancaster entered the room, he saw this scene. He stood stupidly at the door and looked at his son who had lost weight twice. His pale face had no vitality. Suddenly, his chest fell. Bored, a little out of breath, he couldn't help but looked away.

I heard that this is the fifth day that Hugo remains in this situation. I heard that Hugo is still suffering from nightmares in the middle of the night. I heard that Hugo’s friends and even girlfriends are helpless... Otherwise, Joseph will not contact. Him. What he was worried about happened after all, and Hugo's immature shoulders were still crushed by the heavy pressure.

After Hugo, who was only fourteen years old, ran away from home, Adam was actually worried about the arrival of this day. Although Hugo has always been independent, he is only a child after all. Hollywood’s colorful fame and fortune circle is almost full of traps. Stress is everywhere.

Adam once sincerely hoped that Hugo suffered a social blow, and then returned to Lanches, lived a normal life, and would never be harmed again. But this is his idea. He has no way to ask Hugo to do this, and he has no right to ask Hugo to do so, just as he can't accuse Lena of leaving. He doesn't want Hugo to disappear forever like Lena. In his life. Therefore, Adam closed his mouth, and he was worried and afraid in Lanches's world, and then silently followed Hugo's every move.

But looking at his son, whose soul had been emptied before him, Adam once again doubted whether his decision was correct. His hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and he could not tell whether it was fear or worry.

Adam took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and allowed the mixed thoughts in his mind to settle, walked to the bed and sat down in front of Hugo. Adam could see his own shadow reflected in Hugo's amber eyes, but Hugo didn't react much, still staring out the window motionlessly.

This made Adam more comfortable.

Adam has never been a person who is good at words, he is not good at communication, he does not know how to express himself, so Hugo does not look at himself, which can relax him a little bit.

Adam sat quietly by the bed, did not speak, just a little nervous and awkward Hugo lying quietly in front of him, he has forgotten when was the last time he saw such a fragile Hugo, it was when he was six years old from straw Did the stack fall down? No, it seems to be the night of the high fever at the age of seven.

That night Hugo was completely burnt and scared him and Lena to death. The two hurriedly smeared Hugo with alcohol to try to cool him down. At that time Hugo was small and skinny, as if he would fall apart with just one hug. Hugo, who was burnt in a daze, kept calling "Mom", and the painful moan made Lena stand aside. Taken. Because they did everything they should, but the temperature still couldn't drop.

Later, Adam took off his shirt, hugged Hugo tightly, and kept slapping him to comfort him. He stayed like that all night. Before dawn, Hugo's body temperature finally dropped slowly. Adam looked at Hugo's lips that were cracking due to dehydration and didn't know what to do. Then he woke up Lena, who was too tired and closed her eyes, and handed her her son.

When Hugo woke up, all she saw was Lena's loving smile.

Hugo in front of him is as if he was seven years old, fluttering like a feather, and will leave him at any time. Thinking of this, Adam's heart shrank suddenly, and he quickly avoided his sight, lest his eyes would reveal the fear and panic in his heart.

Adam sorted out his emotions and looked at Hugo again. However, Hugo remained motionless and did not respond. This made Adam sigh lightly. In fact, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. Embarrassed, and then teased himself.

"Hugo..." Adam said with difficulty. He had countless thoughts and words in his mind, but he didn't know how to organize it. This made him feel frustrated. "If you don't want to insist anymore, then stop. Persevere. You have realized your dream, why bother to torture yourself? You know, the last time I went to buy a saddle with Old Jack, I saw the boss watching the video of "Yihai Xiongfeng", and Old Jack had a conversation with the boss. Get up, the boss is an old cowboy in his forties. He said that you are the only actor who can watch in the last two years. If the other people are not too muscular, or they are too sissy, you still see them best. Pleasing to the eye. Then I bought a set of harnesses with Old Jack alone that day."

After Adam finished speaking, he didn't know what to say more, so he stopped dryly, and touched his pocket awkwardly. He wanted to take out the cigarette, but his fingertips touched the cigarette case. Stopped, and then put his right hand down hesitantly, scratching his head in annoyance.

"I remember that after your mother left, you were the same for a while. You locked yourself in the room and refused to come out. No matter what I said to you, you didn't answer. Of course, I have never said anything because I don't know. What should I say. You always have endless words with your mother." Adam sneered after speaking, seeming to laugh at himself.

"Do you remember how you came out later?" A smile was drawn at the corner of Adam's mouth, apparently recalling the original situation. "Old Jack tricked you out, and he said he wanted to take you to the movies. You He just opened the door of the room. At that time, what movie did he say to take you to see?"

Adam paused, as if waiting for Hugo's answer, but unfortunately he was going to be disappointed, because Hugo still had no response.

After a long silence, Adam coughed dryly, but the voice in his voice revealed a trace of fatigue, "I still remember, it was the'Great White Shark.' Later it was Little Jack who took you to see it, right? You come back. But I was frightened when I was talking." At this point, Adam also smiled a little more.

"Perhaps since then, you have made up your mind to become an actor, right?" Adam looked for clues in his memories and said in a deep voice. He suddenly realized that maybe Hugo needs more than comfort. It is not guidance, but encouragement.

Adam didn't know whether his thoughts were correct, because he heard Joseph say that Hugo suffered a stress breakdown because he was too deep in the play, and he showed symptoms of split personality. Psychologists say that this situation requires guidance. Adam is not a professional after all, he doesn't know how to deal with it, but looking at his son who is lying quietly in front of him, Adam decides to give it a try.

"Do you remember the day you left home? You thought I didn't know your departure, but in fact I was in the attic, watching your leaving back. You were so small at the time, it seemed that a gust of wind would blow you away Like, your shoulders are too thin, carrying a big schoolbag, which looks bigger than your body, swaying as if you would fall at any time..."

At this point, Adam fell silent. He still doesn't know whether his original decision was correct.

"But you didn't," Adam took a deep breath. "You disappeared firmly into my sight, and then came to Los Angeles. Looking back on these years, you are actually amazing, at least I can't do it. You rely on your own. Power finished college, and step by step came to where I am today. I don’t know much about Hollywood stuff, but I know that you are my proudest son. You realized your dream with your own hands. This is what countless people have longed for. Goal."

"So, I have always wanted to tell you...you are great, you are really great." Adam's voice gradually lowered, as if there was some choking, and then he concealed all his emotions embarrassingly, but he still didn't I’m used to showing my fragility in front of my son, "Hugo, don’t make me regret it, okay? Don’t make me regret the original decision, don’t make me think that I made a wrong decision, don’t let me think that your dream is nothing. value……"

Adam was speechless again. He sat there quietly and looked at Hugo for a long time. After all, he still didn't know what to say. He could only stand up and turn around to leave, but after two steps, But I couldn’t help but looked back at Hugo. The hoarse voice was full of tiredness and bitterness, "You have been doing very well, without my help or the support of others, you have been doing very well. ."

After speaking, Adam took his steps and left the room, but his steps slowed down, one step~www.wuxiaspot.com~the next step, heavy and slow.

It's just that Adam didn't see it. Hugo turned his head for the first time and looked at his father's back. Adam's broad shoulders looked a little fuzzy in the sun, but they were still strong, as he remembered, but at this moment, this strong back looked a little tired and a little old.

Hugo’s eye sockets became wet unconsciously. He knew what had happened. He knew exactly what had happened in the past few days. But for the first time in history, he had doubts about himself. Whether his persistence was correct. Whether his efforts are in vain, whether his direction is wrong, because he is very likely to kill a life, only because of his own absurd and ridiculous persistence in acting, only because he is shameless and absurdly out of control in the process of studying acting. That is a life, an irreplaceable life.

Hugo couldn't forgive himself.

But today, Hugo knows that what he needs is not forgiveness, but self-breakthrough, but also self-salvation. No one can help him except himself. Choose to give up, choose decadence, and withdraw; or choose to persist, choose to forge ahead, and choose to fight? On this multiple-choice question, Hugo's choice has never changed, and it should not be changed now.

Just like Matthew, the real redemption can only be executed by himself.
