Chapter 1944 1944 Repeated mistakes
Hugo looked at Toby in front of him and was a little silenced. Toby did not notice the surging in Hugo's eyes, and then continued, "Recently, Leo is under increasing pressure. Just last week, he had a dispute with a movie fan in public in the mall, because the woman was following Leo and even tried to follow him into the men's bathroom. But he couldn't really move, so he went to nightclubs more and more... he drank more and more... more and more strange friends around him... he looked for more and more women..."
Speaking of the end, Toby's voice slowly lowered, seemingly lacking confidence.
Hugo didn't say anything, and was silent for a while, but he couldn't help it. He burst out laughing, making Toby sit in place with a look of surprise. He didn't know which part of the problem happened. His expression was like a ghost, which made Hugo wave his hand, "Sorry, I just thought of something else."
Hugo actually thought that twenty years later, Leonardo was already a world-renowned top actor. His lifelong pursuit of Oscars was enough to form a heroic novel. In addition to his acting career, Leonardo's private life has become the focus of countless people's attention. It has become common for him to change his girlfriend every now and then, "Victoria's Secret" models are the queen and palace he wants, and he has been in major nightclubs all year round, which has allowed him to establish a huge connection and won the joking reputation of "King of Nightclubs".
Thinking of Leonardo's glory at that time and comparing tonight's embarrassment, Hugo felt a sense of joy inexplicably. Perhaps the future king of nightclubs grew up through the struggles.
After looking at Leonardo, who was lying on the sofa, his face was still covered with stains, and it looked like a palette. The smile that had stopped was outlined again and burst into laughter.
Toby's whole expression suddenly stiffened. He thought Hugo was angrily laughing, and sat on the sofa and couldn't help but move his buttocks slightly. The feeling of being sitting on pins and needles was really bad. This forced Hugo to wave his hands repeatedly, "No, it's my own problem, I thought of... Uh, a joke. It has nothing to do with you."
"So, you've been in nightclubs recently?" Hugo took the initiative to ask, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. In fact, it was not that funny at first, but with Leonardo's embarrassment and Toby's embarrassment, Hugo was inexplicably hit by the funny point, and then he was out of control.
Toby nodded blankly, but did not answer again. After a while of silence, Toby took the initiative to say, "Hugo, I know something is wrong with Leo now, it's very wrong. I have had a lot of fun recently, but...Leo is different from before. I don't know what's going on, but...I don't like this."
In fact, this is growth. In childhood, a cup of ice cream can satisfy a whole day; but after growing up, the satisfaction brought by a villa is only maintained at the moment of swiping the card. Of course, this is not absolute, but the emptiness hidden behind it is the complexity and helplessness of the adult world.
Leonardo has been in Hollywood for many years, and has almost never encountered many setbacks. He has moved firmly towards his goal. After the "Titanic" has soared into the sky, and the positive and negative aspects of society have swarmed in. The rough and cruel method has made Leonardo lose his direction in an instant.
Toby saw Hugo's expression in contemplation, and some words surged to his mouth, but after thinking about it, he simply said, "Leo he always wants to listen to you, maybe you can talk to him."
In fact, what Toby wants to say is that what Leonardo is going through now is the process Hugo has gone through, so Hugo will definitely help Leonardo. But if you think about it carefully, Toby knows that Hugo must be more clear about this fact than himself. He doesn't need to remind Hugo deliberately, because even now, Hugo is still harassed by paparazzi.
The night gradually became deeper, and all the noise around the villa settled down and became quieter.
Leonardo was awakened by the cold. Although he had a quilt on his body, the average temperature of the villa by the beach was still lower than that in the city. Moreover, after he got drunk, he felt that the temperature was lower, so he woke up by the cold in the second half of the night. He sat up in a daze, looked left and right, and then found the coordinates here. He recalled carefully what happened tonight, but he was left with only fragmented fragments, which made Leonardo dry. He walked to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and poured it into his stomach, and then felt a little relieved.
Standing there, thinking about it, Leonardo climbed up the steps, looked on the second floor, and found that everyone was sleeping soundly and went up the third floor again. Then he found the faint light in the study. He gently pushed open the door, and the goose yellow light vented like a waterfall, and the darkness slowly scattered like a mist, as if the whole world had become warm.
In the light, Hugo sat cross-legged on the ground holding the guitar, outlining the strings while writing something on the draft in front of him. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Hugo raised his head and looked at Leonardo, but didn't say anything more, and then lowered his head and started to work hard.
Leonardo tiptoed to the side, held his breath, and tried to reduce his presence. Then he quietly looked at the draft in front of him, and the top said "Save.rock.and.roll". In fact, this sentence can have another explanation: Save rock. But Leonardo likes his understanding more because this is more in line with the explanation of glory to death.
Follow the lyrics track, "I need a little more dreams and a little less life; I need a little more light in the darkness. You will never see the tears in my heart, so go to hell! You can cry until the tears are vast and then let go of me. You are the self you love, not the way you see others love you. In a world surrounded by the shouts of "yes", I heard a roar: No, no!"
All the impetuousness and doubts in Leonardo's heart slowly settled down. Such a simple lyrics stirred up storms in Leonardo's mind. He could see too many things from this lyrics, as if the soul deep in his mind was roaring wildly, "No! No!"
This made Leonardo completely silent and quietly looked at the pencil-written fonts. In fact, he couldn't understand the music scores written by Hugo, but it did not affect his concentration at all, as if he was appreciating Heine's poems.
Neither of them spoke. Hugo was concentrating on writing the music score, playing a few syllables on the guitar from time to time, humming softly, and making some modifications; Leonardo looked at the lines of lyrics over and over again, chewing and savoring carefully, trying to find inner resonance from Hugo's scattered humming.
After a while, Hugo finished writing the whole song. He picked up the guitar and played it carefully from the beginning. He modified a few notes again, and then he picked up the whole piece of paper with satisfaction and looked up and down. Leonardo couldn't help it and asked in a low voice, "Is the whole song finished?" Hugo didn't say anything, but just chuckled, giving a positive answer, "Is this the song that you never finished writing in the legend?"
"Do you know?" Hugo turned his head and glanced at Leonardo. At this time, Leonardo was still holding the palette, looking very funny.
But Leonardo did not realize his embarrassment and said seriously, "Yes, I heard Samora mention it before. You have a song that has been around for more than a year and has not been finished."
"Nineteen Months." This song started from the first melody clip, and ended today. It took nineteen months. This was not just a song, but also embodied Hugo's enthusiasm and expectations for rock. "I didn't expect it to be done in this way today." Hugo seemed to see the doubts on Leonardo's face without turning his head, and then said, "The inspiration comes from you, which helped me complete the final creation."
Leonardo couldn't help but be stunned, and then a joyful expression appeared on his face. However, seeing Hugo shook his head seriously, as if saying "This is not a good thing", the expression between Leonardo's eyebrows suddenly became extraordinary, but in the end he still chuckled, "No matter what, this song has my contribution, this is a good thing."
Leonardo avoided Hugo's sight, feeling a little embarrassed.
Hugo was silent for a while and took the initiative to speak, "Actually, I have been thinking about whether it was a good or a bad thing when I persuaded you to take on this script." Especially when Hugo already knew the historical trajectory, he still persuaded Leonardo to take on the "Titanic", which made Hugo even more uncertain.
In fact, Hugo also knew that when he persuaded Leonardo not to take on the script, then Leonardo would face an unknown actor career, and he would not know whether the ending was good or bad; and when he convinced Leonardo to take on the script, then Leonardo would move forward according to the historical trajectory. This is a choice without a correct answer.
Hugo has no right to control Leonardo's life, but he always feels that he has become the program team behind the "Truemon World", which makes Hugo feel very complicated. Is it like this for everyone? Trying to use his own logic to change others' lives, then is it that everyone is Truemon living in a certain world, and everyone is also trying to become the master of that world?
Leonardo could see the miscellaneous between Hugo's eyebrows. He let out a long sigh and shook his head, "No, this is your suggestion, but it is my decision." Leonardo looked at Hugo seriously, "You know, friends are part of my life, so, whether it is a good or a bad thing, it is me who needs to be responsible, not you."
