The news conference, which was originally planned to last for 30 minutes, lasted for nearly 50 minutes and still failed to end.

Charlize is answering a question about the differences in the cooperation process of the three actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, and Hugo Lancaster, and received Charlize's cry for help. Hugo couldn’t help but laughed, and took the initiative to take the conversation, “You can’t count this question. I’m on the scene, and Leo is probably hiding among the reporters at this time. Charlize’s answer is bound to be polite. , Are all false things..."

Before Hugo's words were finished, the scene was amused. Everyone turned around looking for Leonardo's figure. Charlize gave Hugo a thumbs up, and then again under the eyes of everyone. The thumb fell down, as if provocatively saying "I must speak ill of you", Hugo shrugged, expressing his innocence-or innocence, "So... if you are curious about this issue, let me down. I can wait for Charlize’s exclusive interview to ask questions. I promise I won’t read that magazine."

The veteran reporters at the scene couldn't help but applaud Hugo. Charlize, Kevin and others were naturally surprised about it, but Russell, who had not yet come back, sat next to him, was completely dumbfounded.

Hugo immediately said, "I think the interview session should be enough. I have seen our screenwriter just now and said that if we don't start working again, we don't want to start the computer today. I think we should all avoid this disaster. "After speaking, Hugo took the initiative to stand up amidst the chuckles of the reporters, and in this way ended the seriously overtime press conference.

Although the reporters were helpless, they had to admit that what Hugo was saying was the truth. They still had some questions to ask at this time. After all, this was the first time in nearly half a year that Hugo sat down in front of reporters honestly. Let them ask, who knows when the next such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be-but it is all over at this time.

Russell raised his head and saw that the actors on both sides of him stood up one after another. He also quickly stood up and looked around, but didn't know what to do. Hugo patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Prepare to start makeup, and then follow the instructions of the program. We will officially start the machine in forty-five minutes."

After speaking, Hugo didn't have time to wait for Russell's response, and saw Joseph beckoning in the audience. He could only walk quickly off the stage and follow Joseph toward the turbulent crowd that blocked the intersection of the street. As he walked, Joseph quickly explained his briskness to Hugo. When he reached the end of the street, Hugo saw the passionate faces in front of him. He smiled and waved at everyone, which made the scene sharp. The shouts and cheers were higher than the waves.

Then Hugo saw the group of uniformed traffic policemen standing at the entrance. He vaguely felt that some of the faces were very familiar, but he couldn't tell them apart. Another producer, David, stood by and accompanied him. Hugo walked up quickly and said with a smile, "It's really hard for everyone this morning. We have caused a lot of trouble for everyone, thank you."

Hezheng. This is an inevitable procedure for outdoor shooting. David is responsible for this part of the work. However, today's situation is really very special. I made a pot of porridge all morning, and finally managed to control the situation without causing real material loss or injury. David specifically came to thank everyone for their assistance, but as the most well-known member of the entire crew of "L.A. Confidential", Hugo's personal appearance is obviously of great significance.

Hugo shook hands with everyone one by one, saw Sam who had just handed him the loudspeaker, and also saw the young traffic policeman answering his questions at the street corner. Hugo didn’t recognize this face very clearly. Fortunately, Joseph He gave him a look in his eyes, "This is the person who came to me just now", which immediately awakened Hugo's memory, "So, do I owe you an autograph?"

"Do you remember?" The young traffic policeman was surprised immediately.

Hugo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "No, I don't remember, it was my manager who reminded me just now, I hope I haven't missed the appointment." Hugo's straightforwardness made the young man stunned, and then hehe. He laughed, "At least you didn't refuse." Hugo didn't say a word, just looked at the large group of uniformed personnel standing next to the young traffic policeman, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and everyone burst into laughter in an instant.

After thanking the uniformed personnel, Hugo once again expressed his gratitude to the people who came to watch the opening ceremony. Only then was he able to turn around and enter the crew, and truly devote himself to the next shooting preparations.

Hugo quickly returned to his RV, changed his clothes, and then the makeup artist stepped forward to apply makeup to Hugo according to the makeup requirements a week ago. After all these things were busy, there was nothing left before the first scene of the boot. It's ten minutes. Hugo was getting ready to calm down and focus on the role. He didn’t want David to come and look for Hugo again. It seemed that there was something important, but when he listened carefully, he realized that it was only about "a public filming for a while." Hugo is very helpless because of the small question of how many reporters will enter the filming on the side of the set.

"David, you can decide on these things. You don't need to ask me. Even if you have questions, you can ask Curtis. After all, he is the one who is also the director." Seeing what David wanted to say , Hugo shook his head and directly stopped the following, "No! No, I don’t want to listen anymore, I need time, I need space, I need quiet!" Seeing David still reluctant to go out, Hugo started. Ask Joseph to drive people out, "Go out, go out, go out! I said, I need space to prepare for the next filming, **** Christ! I'm a **** actor!"

After everyone had gone out, Joseph closed the caravan door, leaving only Hugo inside, and the whole space suddenly became quiet.

Although Hugo has not taken a good look at his own RV so far, he has to admit that it does give him personal space, which is exactly what he needs most at this moment.

Hugo has known for a long time that it is not so easy to be a producer at the same time, because the producer needs to shoulder more responsibilities, and the success or failure of the film will largely fall on the shoulders of the producer. Of course, the crew is a large and sophisticated instrument, and each position will have a corresponding professional. The producer only needs macro-control, but in many cases there are unexpected situations and the production personnel must be hands-on.

"L.A. Confidential" is probably the case. Not only Warner Bros., not just the news media, but also the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, all have great expectations for this project. Hugo can feel the ubiquitous pressure all the time. This pressure is unprecedented. Even the simplest period of "Death Row" is incomparable. Compared with the unfamiliar and unfamiliar work of the producer, Hugo is always more worried about his own job, which is also the most important part.

Hugo mentioned in the press conference just now that he hasn't performed for nearly 18 months. This is the truth. It does not mean that his acting skills have regressed, but that the whole performance state, performance rhythm, and performance feeling need to be found again. Performance is not a bunch of keys, just drop it, pick it up, and use it immediately. This is a skill and an instinct. After all, it still requires reviewing the past and learning the new.

Those real old drama bones—especially actors from the British academies. Most of the time they will continue to perform stage plays in the West End of London without film shooting, on the one hand to maintain the sense of drama, on the other hand, In order to continue to hone oneself. Dramatic sense, this is the first time Hugo really feels the word.

In fact, drama is not a formal vocabulary, it is just a word used by senior actors to summarize their own feelings. This is the same as language sense. When people learn a language, apart from vocabulary, grammar and other frame structures, there is also a "sense of language", which is the ability to directly and quickly perceive language and characters, which can be considered as an analysis of language and characters. , Understand, experience and absorb highly concentrated ability. This is a kind of talent, but also a kind of accumulation of experience.

The sense of drama can also be thought of in the same way, which is probably a feeling of all aspects of performance.

There are two kinds of people who can feel the so-called "dramatic sense". One is a genius with extraordinary talents. They don't even know what the performance is, but when they stand in front of the camera, they know how to express the needs of the role; the other is Experienced drama bones, they can feel the thickness of the role in every gesture, but they can't see the traces of the performance, the kind of natural freedom and smoothness, easy to control the entire scene.

Hugo didn’t feel the “dramatic sense or even understood what it was. However, after eighteen months of no real performance, Hugo really experienced the presence of drama. He could I clearly feel the jerky, and even feel that he will become awkward and uncomfortable standing in front of the camera, as if he knows how he should perform in front of the camera, and also knows how the character should be shaped, but he needs to wake up his body Kind of sensitive and delicate.

He needs time and silence.

However, due to the additional pressure of the "producer" identity, it is difficult for Hugo to calm down and concentrate on the research of the character and the script. This is also the biggest problem of having two positions.

In the past, Hugo was just a simple actor in the crew. He only needs to devote himself to the performance, which is enough. But now, it is difficult to do. At a certain moment, Hugo seemed to vaguely understand why the top superstars are uncontrollable and irritable, or use more positive words to describe it: outstanding personality, sharp-edged-Marlon Brando, Catherine Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, etc., are all true.

The car finally calmed down, Hugo drank a cup of hot water, let himself take a deep breath, and then take a deep breath, the whole mood slowly settled in the silence.
