"Hugo, think about it, think about it with your head," Al said a lot, a little tired, panting hard, couldn't help slowing down his speech rate, adjusting his breathing, "I remember the last time I What did you say to you?"

"Don't try to figure out the acting skills, try to figure out the role." Hugo forced himself to ignore the staff who went out to smoke one after another, but instead focused on Al's words. He did it too. When Al asked, He immediately thought of this sentence.

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 Colonel's heart, and why can he prevent the Colonel from committing suicide? Why is he? , Not a relative of the lieutenant colonel or some woman?"

Hugo took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to think about how Charlie came to this scene, not thinking about the 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 obedient student, but he was accidentally involved in a few rich second-generation pranks. He witnessed the process of three noble sons punishing the school superintendent. There is another person in the rich second-generation quartet, George, so George and Charlie become witnesses. The school will not allow students to have such behavior, so they intend to punish this group of students severely. They need George and Charlie to stand up and testify against the wrongdoer.

The superintendent used Harvard University (Harvard.University) and a full scholarship to lure Charlie into telling the facts, and threatened Charlie that he would be expelled if he didn't tell the facts. At the same time, George used his friend to force Charlie and agreed to both of them. No one can stand up and testify against those "good friends", and there is no need to tell family members or anyone else.

Under such circumstances, Charlie and the lieutenant colonel came to New York. In the past few days in New York, Charlie unexpectedly discovered that George’s actions were fully in line with the lieutenant colonel’s speculation after hearing this: George told him Father, and his father is a very powerful man. He stood up and solved the problem for his son. Under his father’s power, 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 a chance to enter Harvard, or stick to his principles and never violate his promise.

　　Charlie is unwilling to betray his friends against his principles, but if he persists in this way and George says it out, then he will be expelled from school, and maybe his life will begin to 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, even because of the wealthy children he was not used to. But this is Charlie's principle, he doesn't want to compromise.

　　 So, Charlie knew that maybe his life was going to be ruined, ruined by his **** foolish principles.

　　Under such circumstances, the lieutenant colonel chose to commit suicide because he felt that there was no hope in life; but what about Charlie? In fact, in this incident, Charlie adhered to his own principles and was also stepping into an abyss step by step. Although being expelled from school is not the true end of life for a young man, it is for a man who aspires to go to Harvard University. For poor students who use knowledge to change their destiny, this is indeed no different from suicide, because it is equivalent to killing his dream with his own hands.

　　 What kind of feeling is this? On the one hand, Charlie knew that it was not worth sacrificing his future for a few rich children, because those rich children would not thank him. They could still make progress with the help of the family. Even if they were punished or expelled from the school, they would have nothing. Influence, but Charlie is different; but on the other hand, Charlie is unwilling to violate his principle: not to betray a friend, even if he himself feels that his persistence is worthless, but he still wants to persevere.

　　 How mixed this feeling is.

Suddenly Hugo thought of his own life. In fact, the prospects of underground rock bands are so slim. He knew it when he was in school. Although they are amateur music lovers, they also knew that domestic rock and roll was as early as the end of the 1990s. Rising rapidly and then quickly withering away, the underground rock band has almost no way out. To say that it is awkward, it is not enough to eat and eat. But knowing that this is the case, the Glory to the Dead band pursued their dreams without hesitation. In their own words, they were "seeking their own way", but even so, they were still painful and happy during the ten years of life.

　　Perhaps, this is the principle, unwilling to insist on compromising 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 weight of power. To the lieutenant colonel, this simplicity seemed like darkness. The long-lost sunlight made the lieutenant colonel still feel the sunlight from the depths of his soul even though he was blind.

　　 So how did Charlie feel during this dispute? He can’t accept giving up without fighting, he can’t accept giving up life, and he can’t accept breaking principles. In his opinion, even if life fails, even if he suffers a setback, he can still start again, 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 all your life. This is Charlie's own beliefs and principles. Even if there is confusion, even entanglement, even shake, and uncertainty, he will not change in the end, because he doesn't want it and doesn't want it.

At the same time, he is even more unable to accept the lieutenant colonel’s giving up. In his view, the lieutenant colonel is stubborn and strong. 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. He does not want to see the lieutenant colonel end in such a fate, not just because of his fate. Integrity and kindness, more because of his admiration for the lieutenant colonel.

　　 It is precisely because of Charlie's feelings that this made the weaker Charlie persist in the stormy catharsis of the lieutenant colonel to the end, and successfully dispelled the lieutenant colonel's thoughts of suicide.

After understanding this, Hugo's eyes lit up, "Let's try again!" As soon as Hugo looked up, he saw the expectant eyes of Al and Martin, not only them, but also many people around the staff. They all focused on Hugo. It seems that everyone was waiting while Hugo was thinking about it just now.

This is not only because they are serious about their work, but also because of their curiosity: Hugo, who won the Golden Raspberry Award for the Worst Actor Award, can really explode when facing a senior actor like Al. Acting?

Martin looked at Hugo again. It’s not that he didn’t trust Hugo, but the difficulty of this scene is definitely where Hugo faces the most difficult challenge in the entire movie, and of course the most brilliant place. The previous seven NGs Hugo has not been able to find the status, so this time Martin has reason to express his concerns.

But unexpectedly, this time Hugo gave a firm look in response. Martin must have never seen this before. The energy radiated from those amber eyes made Martin’s The heart settled down inexplicably.

Hugo stood up again and walked in front of Al, "I'm sorry just now, this time I will do my best." Al did not speak, but just patted Hugo on the shoulder. He is also old now, with such emotional conflicts. A fierce scene, for Al, also faces physical challenges, everything is not so easy.

　　 At this time, the filming staff had already called in all the staff members who were smoking outside, indicating that the filming was about to start again. After the staff came in, although they didn't say anything, there was no special irony or dissatisfaction in the eyes looking at Hugo, but they all returned to their posts with a low voice and a smile, as if Hugo who was about to return to filming was not worth it. Mention in general. This shows what? It shows that the staff have no confidence in Hugo. They don’t think that Hugo will improve his acting skills by leaps and bounds after this short period of time. Maybe, the scene will depend on Al alone in the end. Support it up.

　　 Faced with the attitude of the staff, Hugo has no way to accuse them, because if he stands from the standpoint of the staff, he might have the same idea, but understanding does not mean that Hugo will lose out. He knows that for this kind of disdain, his actual performance is the best way to fight back compared to words. Even if the promises were so beautiful and the next performance was just as bad, it would just make myself more miserable, and a thousand words would not compare to a wonderful performance.

　　 Therefore, Hugo said nothing, but involuntarily clenched his fists, secretly cheering for himself.

Before reaching the shooting position, Hugo saw Joseph standing in the crowd. Joseph always crossed his arms, standing outside like a statue watching the filming of this scene. He did not accuse Hugo, nor No worries about Hugo, nor did he encourage Hugo, just silently paying attention to Hugo's state. Seeing the gaze projected by Hugo, Joseph only nodded slightly, nothing more.

　　 But Hugo knew that Joseph was worried about him. He stood still and watched his shooting, which was actually his greatest support. Hugo gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and gently tiptoed on the spot, adjusting his mentality, not paying attention to other people's sights, and devoting all his energy to the upcoming shooting.

　　 Hugo did not do anything extra, and walked with Al to the location designated by the dramatist again, and waited for Martin's "start shooting" order to start shooting.
