Chapter 1171: 1171

Nicholas suddenly felt that what Austin had just said was probably true: Hugo really encouraged Brian. Because these two fifteen-year-old paparazzi are really interesting.

Hearing Nicholas' question, Austin and Brian both fell into deep thought.

Brian suddenly thought of something, raised his head and looked in the direction of Hugo again, looked carefully at the person Hugo was talking to, and then his eyes lit up, "Actually, Hugo is also preparing for the shooting, Is it right?"

Nicholas raised his eyebrows slightly, "How?"

Bryan seemed to be encouraged, and immediately said, "Hugo was talking with Morgan first, and then briefly talking with David, and now he is talking with Andrew for a long time. On the one hand, Hugo is talking to the crew. When dealing with people, all of us know that if the crew can have a tacit understanding or even sparks, it will be more effective for shooting..."

Nicholas was a little surprised by Brian's sharpness, but Brian didn't say the whole thing. Joseph and Samora aren't just handing out coffee, either. The staff will not lack a cup of coffee, but the power of just a cup of coffee is not enough to win over the crew. The two of them are actually dealing with all aspects of the crew, so that the strangers who have just joined the crew quickly become familiar with each other and activate the crew. atmosphere of.

"On the other hand," Bryan's speculation continued, "Hugo was exchanging ideas with his co-stars, sharing each other's thoughts on the character, which was another way of preparing for the show. You see, Hugo Had such a great time with Andrew." Andrew-Kevin-Walker, writer of The Seven Deadly Sins.

"What if they were just chatting?" Nicholas' rhetorical question made Brian stunned. Indeed, no one knew what Hugo and Andrew were talking about, maybe it was just some fun.

Seeing Brian's expression, Nicholas smiled contentedly, "Believe me, Hugo has always known what he is doing, on the surface he doesn't seem to be preparing, but he has his own set of methods, compared to What Brad did with his deliberate acting was so much more effective."

Nicholas once interviewed the crew of "Schindler's List" in depth, and he also had a new understanding of Hugo's dedication. Many times, Hugo builds his own blueprint for the character by communicating with different people. For example, in the role of Amon Goss, Hugo was just sitting next to a group of Jews, listening to them chatting quietly, without asking any questions, but it was precisely from the small talk that seemed to have nothing to do with the character, Hugo built the environment and atmosphere at that time, and then shaped the characters.

It can be said that Hugo's preparation method is also similar to his performance method. It is delicate and profound.

From Nicholas' point of view, Brad was obviously under the arrangement of his agent and deliberately acted for the on-site staff to see; but Hugo was obviously preparing in his own way.

Taking a step back, character preparation is not a matter of rush, and now to be serious, it is completely cramming. What were you doing before the shooting started? Now that there is less than half an hour left before the opening ceremony, it is really too deliberate to prepare carefully.

However, it must be admitted that superficial skills can often confuse most people.

"I'm going to interview Hugo, do you want to come together?" Nicholas saw James, who was long overdue, and knew that there was no need to observe secretly here. He asked casually, but the two little guys cheered excitedly. , which made Nicholas very helpless.

James was negotiating with the staff, saying that he wanted to interview Hugo first. After the staff confirmed James's interview certificate, he said that he would have to ask Hugo or his manager to know. James just stood there and waited, and when he looked back, he saw Nicholas and the two fuel tanks behind him, "What's going on?"

Nicholas looked calm, "A news clue."

James was stunned, "Whose illegitimate child?" This reaction earned Nicholas a wide-eyed look.

"Hey, Hugo!" Brian's excited voice came from behind him tremblingly. James and Nicholas looked up and saw Hugo with a smile on his face.

"God, God, God..." Austin's uncontrollably excited voice seemed very happy at this time, causing James to look back again.

"Guys, I remember that the press conference of the opening ceremony is still a while away." Hugo saw a familiar face, and his expression was relatively relaxed, but before Nicholas or James could answer, Brian jumped out behind him, "Lan Mr. Caster, Mr. Lancaster... do you remember me?"

"You..." Hugo held Brian's right hand with a struggling expression. He felt that the young man in front of him was really familiar, but he couldn't remember anything. Facial blindness is really embarrassing.

"Last November, Burbank, you came to visit Cameron Diaz's class?" Brian's series of words popped out, and Hugo thought about it carefully, "Aha! You are the... very Young, very young paparazzi!"

"Yes, I'm officially a professional paparazzi now. This is my good friend, Austin Wichidek." Brian yelled, jumping up and down, almost not screaming.

Looking at the scene in front of him, James glanced at Nicholas with a surprised look, but Nicholas raised his hands innocently, saying that he had nothing to do with all this.

After the introduction, Brian couldn't take care of his friends who were overexcited and still in aphasia. He immediately asked excitedly, "Excuse me, are you talking about the characters just now when you were chatting with the screenwriter and director?" Ryan threw out the question just now.

"Oh, no, no." Hugo shook his head again and again, "We were just chatting about being surrounded by reporters today." In fact, Hugo, Andrew and Morgan still talked about the script and characters. It's the job of building their bridges. But Hugo wasn't going to tell the reporters in front of him, not even friends.

Brian looked a little disappointed, and his eyes turned to Brad who was not far away. Brad also looked over at this time, not looking at the script at all, and when he noticed Brian's gaze, Brad retracted his gaze in a panic. Brian couldn't help but pouted, as expected! If you really devote yourself to the preparation of the script, you will definitely not be so easily distracted!

Nicholas was much calmer than Brian, and asked directly, "It seems that the competition has begun, are you ready?"

Hugo laughed out loud, "Hasn't competition always existed?" Of course Hugo knew that Nicholas was alluding to Brad, but what he said was also true. This is Hollywood, even if it's not Brad, it will There are other competitors. For Hugo, he is not afraid of competition, but he will not lose his direction because of competition. He always keeps in mind that being yourself is the first step and the most important. If you don't get the job done, even if you don't have a competitor, you're still a failure.

James was relieved. He could feel his strong confidence from Hugo's tone. Even in the face of Brad's menacing approach, Hugo still seemed calm.

"Can you tell me why you chose this work?" James asked, "I believe you should have many choices. Among so many scripts, you chose 'Seven Deadly Sins' because you liked it. What are the characteristics of it?"

Hugo didn't answer directly, but opened his eyes wide, "You have already started the opening ceremony ahead of schedule." One sentence made James laugh, "Of course, because this script is good enough, I like this script, So I took it."

"But you didn't play the male lead in the play, right?" Since there is still a fog about the distribution of movie roles, Brian seemed a little hesitant when he asked the question, and stopped halfway through.

Nicholas took over the following words, "Everyone is guessing your role, what kind of role is it? 'It's not the most important role', so is it a side-by-side actor or a supporting actor?" The previous news was " The Los Angeles Times" reported, but Nicholas also did not have any further specific information on this.

"Wait, wait..." Hugo waved his hands again and again, "You can ask these questions at the press conference after the opening ceremony, why bother asking me now, I need to answer twice, this is not too much trouble."

Nicholas vaguely felt a little strange, but he couldn't say why. Hugo seemed to make sense, so he continued to ask, "These two young men claim to be paparazzi, you have really been interviewed by them before. ?"

Hugo didn't evade this time, but nodded, "Yes, I've dealt with Brian before. To be honest, fifteen-year-old paparazzi, this surprised me. But now it seems that they Well done, isn't it?"

"It would be great if you could provide us with some exclusives!" Brian said expectantly.

Hugo laughed dumbly and shook his head, "Trust me, you wouldn't hope for such a day." Now Hugo still treats the two as children, if they show their true colors as "paparazzi", in Hugo's eyes Just like other crows. And Hugo's approach to crows has always been less gentle, "If you don't believe it, you can ask them." Hugo pointed to Nicholas and James who were standing aside.

Under the doubtful gazes of Brian and Austin, James could only change the subject again, "How does it feel to start filming again after half a year?"

This is not a formal interview, both sides seem very relaxed, as if chatting. But Nicholas always felt that something was wrong. When Hugo left, a thought suddenly flashed in Nicholas' mind: keep your mouth shut! He finally realized that something was wrong. Hugo didn't give any positive answers to the script, characters, etc. of the movie. Even if it wasn't a formal question, it was just casual chatting, and Hugo was tight-lipped.

Is this because he thought too much, and it will be announced at the press conference in a while;
