Chapter 269: Boot alone

Seeing Hugo's confused expressions, Rob and Nora, both of whom were nearly 100 years old this year, laughed cheerfully, obviously very happy to be able to deceive Hugo. This made the other actors on the sidelines all dumbfounding

Rob and Hugo are still more familiar, so he took the lead in reducing his smile, turned his head and said to the partner standing aside, "Nora, we should give him the script, otherwise he won't be able to make a film in this state." ." Then turned to look at Hugo, "Did you forget? This is a story that connects two people through the radio, so the male and female protagonists have never seen each other."

Hugo just reacted. He didn't think about it at all just now. At this time, Rob reminded him that he understood.

The story of "Sleepless in Seattle" is very special, it is divided into two main lines to explain, one is the male protagonist Sam, the other is the ‘female’ protagonist Annie. Sam originally lived in Chicago in the middle of the United States, but after his wife died, he moved to Seattle on the west coast. Sam has his own line of life. The actors Hugo sees today are obviously the surrounding characters of Sam's line. On the other side, Annie lives in Baltimore on the East Coast of the United States. She also has her own circle of life. There is no ‘intersection’ with the West Coast. That group of actors and Hugo do not have any ‘intersection’.

Therefore, when the film was filmed, Nora planned to shoot in two parts, first to shoot the Hugo part independently, then to shoot the Hugo and Meg collaboration part, and finally to shoot the Meg part independently. After all the shooting is over, the whole movie is integrated through post-production.

In fact, if conditions permit, it would be great if the male and female protagonists can act for each other in person. For example, in the radio scene in "Night Sleep in Seattle", Sam and Annie murmured to the radio. In the scene of verbal speech, the voices of two people are overlapped by the electric wave, and the actor personally goes to the battle to help the actor. This is very helpful for the actor’s emotional expression, otherwise it will be helpful to the actor’s rhythm of entering the play if other staff help. It is always influential.

However, due to Meg's special circumstances, Nora had to give up this idea and shoot the two main lines of Hugo and Meg completely independently.

The casting process for "Sleepless in Seattle" was very bumpy. Simply put, no one wants to take over this hot potato. Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Basinger, Judy Foster, Julia Roberts and others are all alternates. It's a pity that all were rejected, and Meg only agreed to play at the last moment. But the problem is that Meg is currently filming another work, and she can't immediately join the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle".

Meg is filming with her husband Dennis Quaid's "Ruthless Earth and Love Heaven (flesh. and. directed by Stephen Clover (steven.). The film was originally scheduled to be finalized in early February. If it can be finalized as planned, then Meg can immediately join the crew of "Sleepless in Seattle", but there were some problems with the filming of the film, which led to the postponement, and the director Stephen There is no way to determine the finishing time, and it is likely to be delayed until the end of February.

But the problem is that the story of "Sleepless in Seattle" starts on Christmas Eve and ends on Valentine's Day. Therefore, it is most appropriate to start it up before March. As a last resort, Nora can only let the crew start first. Waiting for Meg while filming the Hugo part. In other words, Hugo must be the first to boot alone in the absence of a ‘female’ protagonist. Fortunately, the special nature of the movie "Night Sleep in Seattle" makes this concept possible, otherwise the crew will have to delay and wait for the heroine to be in place.

After understanding the cause and effect, Hugo didn't have any special thoughts, anyway, regardless of whether Meg appeared on the set, his shooting must be carried out. On the contrary, getting along with the child actors made Hugo more worried.

"So, this is your opponent's actor." Nora gently ‘kneaded’ the child standing next to him, and said with a smile at Hugo.

Although Hugo has long known that Sam's character is a widower and has an eight-year-old child, Hugo was still a little worried about playing with the child when he actually saw the child's actor. There is always a saying in Hollywood, "Don’t shoot animals and children..." Because animals and children are uncontrollable roles, once animals and children are added to the movie, the burden on the crew will increase exponentially. The so-called burden here not only refers to funding, but also refers to manpower, shooting time, and so on.

Hugo looked at the small but calm child in front of him, and squatted down to keep his eyes parallel to the child. This is the most basic respect that adults show to the child. "When we first met, I am Hugo. Lancaster. Nice to meet you." Hugo smiled and stretched out his right hand.

The child looked at Hugo seriously, with a look of vigilance and judgment, as if he wanted to see the sincerity in Hugo’s sight. This reminded Hugo of a saying in the folk about children, “Children are the most sensitive. They can sensitively feel the kindness and malice of others towards him."

Sure enough, the child looked at Hugo's warm smile, and then the kid nodded, "You are a kind man. Nice to meet you, my name is Rose Malingier(.)."

Rose's pretentious smile made Hugo laugh, "I can see that you are no stranger to acting." This can be seen from the boldness and directness of the child when facing strangers.

"Of course. This is my fourth movie, and I also shot two episodes." Rose said with his hands on his waist, with an experienced look, ‘stiffening’ his ‘chest’.

"Then let me rest assured. I had no previous experience of working with children, and I was always worried about my poor performance. Now it seems that you may be able to help me a lot." Hugo's honesty made everyone around me show 'A surprised expression appeared.

In fact, in Hugo's view, lying to children is unnecessary and unwise. Maybe they can't see through your lies, but they can feel the abnormality of things, which will make them feel repulsive towards you. For Hugo, he will play a father and son with Rose in the movie. Hugo is a person who has never really become a father, and his understanding of the relationship between father and son seems very bad, so if you can’t get Rose’s Cooperate, then the performance presented will not be convincing. Therefore, Hugo chose to be honest.

In the eyes of everyone's surprise, Hugo leaned into Rose's ear and whispered, "Moreover, I have never been a father in my life. I have no experience in becoming a father. Can you help me?"

Rose waited for those innocent eyes to look at Hugo. He didn't seem to understand why Hugo said this to himself, but Hugo ‘showed’ a gentle smile and looked at Rose firmly. Afterwards, Hugo saw Rose burst into a big smile, then hugged Hugo's neck and whispered in Hugo's ear, "Don't worry, just'hand it over' to me."

Listening to Rose's immature voice, he swears to his determination, and his jagged teeth makes his speech leak, adding a lot of joy. But Hugo did not laugh because it was funny, but looked at Rose seriously and said softly, "Thank you!"

Then Hugo stood up and stretched out his right hand to Rose, "So, partner, can we go upstairs?" Rose looked up at the tall Hugo, then looked back at a smile on his face. After getting permission, Rose put her little hand in Hugo's large palm.

Nora watched this scene and patted Hugo lightly on the shoulder, "It seems that you made good progress the first day you arrived on the crew." Hugo smiled back, and then took Rose's hand. Walk in the direction of the elevator.

After arriving in Seattle, the crew did not start running immediately, because Hugo hadn't read the script, so he got the script and started reading that day. In addition, he spent most of his time playing with Rose. Hugo seems to have a childish relationship. It took less than two days to talk and laugh with Rose. They got along very well. One night Rose fell asleep on Hugo’s bed. The result was Hugo carried Rose back to his mother's house, and carefully put the still sleeping Rose on the'bed'.

After this incident, everyone in the crew joked that Hugo would be a good father. I just don't know if it's limited to Ross, or all children. But obviously, the very comfortable smell of sunlight on Hugo is indeed very attractive to children. The most important thing is that Hugo himself is willing to play with children, and he must do what he says. This makes Rose and Hugo quickly become A good friend.

Originally, Hugo thought it would take time to get a haircut and set the styling, but Nora said directly, “Just follow your father’s style as you imagined, and your own idea of ​​your father’s style will prevail. The crew didn’t. Prepare any costumes and don’t need to set makeup on you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hugo looked at Nora, who was doing a hand shake in front of him, and couldn't laugh or cry. “Is the crew not enough funds? Otherwise, I can’t just do nothing. "Of course, this is just Hugo's joke, he knows what Nora meant.

Sam was originally a widower. After losing his wife, he was devastated, so his hair and life were not planned and managed, and he fell into a more ‘chaotic’ and ‘chaotic’ situation. This is normal. That's what Hugo did during the first audition, and now Nora has put Hugo's ideas on the big screen.

"The only-a request, that is, you don't want to cut your hair." Nora pointed to Hugo's hair that was about to reach her brows.

In this regard, Hugo can only smile wryly.

If Hugo’s hair is cut short, it’s hard to see, but it’s actually curled a bit. Although it’s not obvious, it can be seen after it grows longer. When the hair grows to the length of the eyebrows, the hair will be drawn out one by one, and then if you don't pay attention to it, it will turn into a bird's nest. This makes it easy for Hugo to think of Robert Pattinson’s messy haircut. Hugo was helpless about it, but at the same time he had to rejoice. Fortunately, his haircut was not "Justin Timberlake ( That kind of little curly'hair'.
