Chapter 1259 1259 Deep Talk Between Father and Son
Joseph stepped forward, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and looked at Hugo's clear eyes seriously, "Are you really okay?"
A shallow smile formed on the corner of Hugo's mouth, "I'm not sure, after all, my work is not finished, is it?" Hugo's joke immediately changed Samora's face, but Joseph was smiling. When he got up, he knew that it was Hugo's cold humor, which really meant that Hugo had recovered completely.
Joseph carefully looked at the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, and let out a long sigh, "You better remember this, your work has been delayed for a long time, and I have been under a lot of pressure on my shoulders. Joseph also made a rare joke, which made Hugo roll his eyes.
Joseph wanted to say something else, but noticed Adam who was standing shyly, he thought for a while, and took the initiative to change the subject, "I think, Tim and Steven must know the news immediately, their latest Life is not easy." Then he pulled Rick, whose brows were slightly stretched, and Samora, who was still nervous, and motioned them to leave together, "Cameron, can you come and help? I think Hugo has just recovered. Definitely want something hearty."
Rick was the first to react, and he took Samora and went out first. Cameron raised his head and looked at Joseph. She originally wanted to say, "I just brought the porridge here", but she saw Joseph point Adam out of the corner of his eyes. She also reacted and quickly put the embarrassment on her face. All wiped clean, "This porridge has nothing added, the taste is too bad, I should go and prepare some delicious food."
Cameron lowered his head and placed a kiss on Hugo's lips, then left with Joseph with the porridge in his hand.
Outside the room, Rick could vaguely hear the voice of the staff, and then there was a burst of cheers, but the cheers were suppressed before they could be heard completely, and then there were the low laughter and The discussion sounded as if in the blink of an eye, the cloud that had been hanging over the head of the "Death Convict Walk" crew for a long time was torn apart by a crack, and the bright golden sunlight poured down in an instant.
Recently, Tim has been in the midst of self-blame. As a director, he has been persecuting Hugo, but he has not noticed that Hugo is wrong. This is his dereliction of duty, although no one has thought about losing the responsibility. To Tim, but he couldn't forgive himself; and Steven was also very sad, a lot of work was waiting for him in the early stage of DreamWorks development, but he had no intention at all, not only because of Hugo An accident happened, and because of this incident, Steven sighed a lot.
Now, Hugo has finally recovered, although everyone is still not sure whether the damn "split personality" is still harassing Hugo, and whether it will worsen in the future or pop up from time to time to toss, but at least Judging from Hugo's current state of mind, the familiar Hugo has finally returned. This is already a huge improvement.
In an instant, the entire crew relaxed, as if even the air became active.
Listening to the trivial noise outside the window, the room became more and more quiet. Adam originally wanted to turn around and leave, but because he was worried about Hugo, he still didn't step forward. He just stood rigidly in place, looking at Hugo with some concern and some embarrassment.
Adam didn't know what he said just now, whether Hugo heard it or not. If he heard it... Adam couldn't help but have the urge to escape. He was really not suitable for such a situation. "So, just now..." Adam wriggled his lips, and started a little vaguely, but stopped again. He wasn't quite sure what he should say.
Hugo looked at Adam suspiciously, "When did you come?"
When Adam heard this, he suddenly looked at Hugo, the embarrassment in his eyes was swept away, but then he realized that he seemed a little too excited, he could not help coughing twice, looked away, and then he I heard Hugo say, "Why did you come here? Does it matter that there is no one to take care of the shop?"
Hugo knew Adam, he knew that Adam was not used to expressing himself, and Adam did not want his weakness to be seen by others, even his own son, so Hugo did not pierce Adam's protective coat. Hugo knew that this was his father, and had been silently guarding his father in his own way.
Hugo's change of topic obviously made Adam a lot more comfortable, "With Old Jack here, everything will be fine." Adam looked at his son again, "It's you, what's the matter, why did you suddenly say that there is something wrong with your body? Now? Is everything okay?"
Hugo looked at the father in front of him, his eyes kept drifting towards him, but he never dared to look into his own eyes, he just looked at his forehead, and then worried that he would see through his sight, so he nervously looked at others. He looked around, and then couldn't help but look at his forehead again. The terrified sight and the hurried and irritable voice revealed the true emotions in his heart.
Hugo nodded and said calmly, "Well, that's it."
"Are you sure?" Adam interrupted Hugo impatiently, questioning with worry and suspicion, "Are you sure? When I came to see you in the morning...I mean, I heard Joe say, you The stress is so great that you need to see a psychiatrist, the situation sounds serious, are you really okay? I mean, you are almost 30 years old, and you can't bear the pressure, I was not when I was a child To educate you like this... Your current career development is not very good, why are you suddenly stressed? I think your psychological quality is not enough..."
Hugo did not interrupt his father, and let Adam vent his dissatisfaction in such a ramble. This may be the first time in the history of the two fathers and sons that such a situation has occurred-Hugo did not contradict Adam's accusations and complaints.
Hugo, of course, knew that his situation was not that simple. Split personality, psychological stress, mental illness, these are not things that human beings can control themselves. Although he has recovered now, no one knows when he will relapse again.
The most typical example is Heath Ledger. In order to play the role of the Joker in "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", he was so involved in the drama that his whole person's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and even several times during filming. There are serious signs of split personality. But until the end of the filming, he was well in control, and on the surface it seemed that nothing happened. But in fact, Heath has never been able to fully play, and the psychological pressure has been affecting him invisibly, so that he finally sucked. poison. Overdose and eventually die young.
Although no psychiatrist can attest to the Joker's acting experience and Heath's sucking. There is a direct connection to Poison, but many of Heath's family and friends have said that Heath was unable to escape the Joker role for a long time after the filming of "Batman: The Dark Knight" ended.
This is a psychological problem, invisible, intangible, and even more uncontrollable, but it often has fatal effects.
The same is true for Hugo this time. He was already on the verge of a mental breakdown, and even completely collapsed for a while, but fortunately, Hugo finally defeated himself, defeated his inner demons, regained his sanity, and restored his optimism. . But no one is sure that something like this will happen in the future.
But Hugo knew that Adam didn't need to understand this, because Hugo believed in himself, and when he had Adam behind him and the consistent support of his friends, he would be extremely strong, strong enough to defeat some.
Adam finally noticed what was wrong with the situation. He was the only one who was chatting. Hugo didn't refute at all. He just looked at himself like that, which made Adam a little embarrassed and straightened his words abruptly. He subconsciously touched the cigarette case in his pocket. He knew that he couldn't smoke in front of Hugo, but this action made him feel safe. He looked away awkwardly and looked at the room.
"I mentioned to you last time that I asked you to buy a ranch. Would you like to reconsider this proposal?" Hugo said suddenly, he recalled Adam's mention of buying horse gear just now. Hugo knew that Adam had always dreamed of owning his own ranch, and occasionally taking part in a rodeo in his spare time.
When Adam heard this topic, he wanted to reject it directly. In his memory, Hugo's economy was always difficult, and he always tried his best to help Hugo. So, when Hugo brought up the idea of buying a ranch, he refused almost without thinking.
But when the words came to his lips, Adam looked at his son again, and he suddenly realized that it might be a good thing to buy a ranch. At least he knows how to run a ranch, and Old Jack can help. If Hugo no longer works in the entertainment industry in the future, he can also prepare a way for Hugo. Adam has always believed that the entertainment business can't make much money, and it can't be sustained. This is completely the job of youth, not to mention this incident, which makes Adam vigilant.
After thinking for a while, "Okay, I'll go back and see a few ranches nearby." Adam nodded and agreed, "How much can you pay there, I still have some savings in the bank, I guess it's no problem to buy the ranch, but after that The equipment needs to be revisited, which is also a big expense. Old Jack is also interested in this area, and I will ask his opinion."
Hugo had no concept of land sales in the United States, so he didn't know how much money was needed. He just looked at Adam and said hesitantly, "Is five million dollars enough?"
Adam choked on his saliva because of Hugo's words, and coughed violently. Hugo thought the price was too low. He made an estimate based on the price of his Malibu villa, but think about it carefully. It must be several times bigger than the villa, he continued, "If it's not enough, it doesn't matter if there is more."
Adam looked at Hugo with a serious face and said in surprise, "You have so much money now? Didn't you just buy a villa and a new car some time ago?"
Hugo shrugged and said with a slightly ostentatious tone, "I'm still doing a good job in this line of work." Like a child showing off his award in front of his father.
Adam was stunned for a while, but lowered his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth gently, a flash of pride flashing in his eyes.
