Chapter 1179 1179 Secret Contest

Colin Meyer knew it was time to stop.

Because things have long been out of control, if you don't stop, as Katherine Hepburn said, the second witch trial will appear. And this time the media won't be so easy to escape accusations - this time accusing all of Hugo's words without any evidence.

Now, not only Hugo's good friends and Hugo's former partners have come forward to clarify the facts, but the behind-the-scenes connections have gradually begun to exert tension. What is surprising is that this time, the Creative Artists Agency actually cooperated with Endeavour Elite Agency this time. Joining forces - If you consider that the "Seven Deadly Sins" is a project co-operated by artists of the two companies, it may be explained. The huge media network force is gradually exerting pressure, and the storm is gradually quieting down.

Just look at the recent reports from major media, and newspapers headed by the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" have finally spoken out: defending Hugo. Critical editorials led by The New Yorker and The Washington Post also joined the discussion: once again condemning the media for violating the basic principle of "truth in journalism."

All indications are that things have turned from cloudy to sunny. Quietly, Hugo's powerful network has been formed, because Hugo has more and more economic stakeholders in Hollywood, which means that more and more people will stand on Hugo's side.

Times have changed, and now Hugo is not what it used to be. To put it in a bad way, Hugo does have the capital to play big names; to put it in a good way, that is, Hugo has long been no longer a small actor who will experience huge ups and downs in the media's negative news career.

The "New York Post" can't stand a second witch trial. Even if this time there are many other media at the bottom, the "New York Post" is no longer a target, but it is not something they can afford - because the result will be Worse than last time. What's more, the "New York Post" has already benefited a lot from this incident, and there is no need for them to go their own way.

Therefore, Colin called Jin to withdraw troops early, even a little earlier than Hugo's time for an interview, and the "New York Post" no longer followed up on follow-up reports. The cunning of the fox is to eat a bite to gain wisdom.

Not only Colin, but most of the media also felt the pressure from all directions, including those with public opinion, and even the big bosses behind them. Before you know it, the whole big-name storm gradually subsided, and clarifications have been obtained one after another. As for the real ending of the matter, we need to wait until the day when the "truth is revealed". Maybe after the release of "Seven Deadly Sins", the crew can't wait to see it. Spit fast.

The face of the media will certainly be very interesting.

Relatively speaking, the inside of the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew was calm because of Hugo's calmness and calmness. In fact, even when he was interviewed by three media to respond positively to big-name rumors, Hugo still had reservations about his words. He still did not respond positively to his absence from the press conference at the opening ceremony, but only responded with his consistent principle of "speaking with facts". .

From start to finish, Hugo has been the target of diversion. Since people firmly locked their eyes on Hugo, Hugo simply locked his eyes on himself completely, and let the "Seven Deadly Sins" hide behind him and quietly start shooting.

The shooting of "The Seven Deadly Sins" was indeed very smooth, and all aspects of the entire crew were progressing smoothly, especially David Fincher, the director, who was inspired by endless sources of inspiration. After learning the lessons of "Alien 3", this time the new line The film company also boldly delegated power and allowed David to play freely, which made David particularly active in the crew.

As the leading actor, Brad Pitt's performance was also praised by the crew. Even Hugo, he had to objectively say, "Brad really fights."

As the most mysterious nameless person in the whole film, Hugo only appeared for the first time almost halfway through the film, but when there was no shooting task in the early stage, Hugo also appeared on the crew all day long. Most of the time, he stayed in the corner by himself and thought about it. Once, Andrew found Hugo talking to himself and walked up to talk to him, only to be frightened by Hugo's blank expression.

The atmosphere created by David in the whole crew was very helpful for Hugo to understand the role of Anonymous. He is using his own methods to get into the play bit by bit. Even the chores outside the crew can't affect Hugo in the slightest. He knows very well how difficult the role of Anonymous is, and the slightest slack will make this role fall short.

This is really an irony. Everyone outside the crew was ridiculing Hugo for being a big name and being unprofessional, but everyone inside the crew could see Hugo's efforts for the crew.

Brad naturally also saw Hugo's efforts. It was a wonderful process. He could see Hugo every day. He seemed to feel every little change in Hugo, but he couldn't say one So of course, when he came to his senses, he suddenly found that Hugo standing in front of him had become an anonymous person.

Only then did Brad realize that when he saw Hugo's changes every day, it was as if Hugo had withdrawn his momentum little by little. Originally, Hugo had a habit of wearing a shallow smile, and he looked like a sunny gentleman wherever he went. He could easily attract the attention of people next to him. Hugo was like a luminous stone, blooming at all times. light. But now, Hugo is gradually turning this temperament into a restrained one.

Brad wasn't sure what was wrong, maybe the eyes, maybe the smile, maybe the way he stood or walked, maybe the body language, but he just could feel the change in Hugo. It is Hugo who is clearly standing in front of him, but it is not Hugo.

Now Hugo is still smiling, smiling and nodding to people all the time, the gentleman is polite. But now Hugo is like the air. Even if he is standing in a corner not far away, no one will pay attention. Even sometimes a large group of people are standing together chatting. After a long time, he suddenly realizes that Hugo is actually there. ——Because Hugo stood there without saying a word, with a polite and polite smile on his face, but he didn’t have any sense of existence.

This process is too magical and too vivid. It is almost the whole process of Hugo's continuous polishing of his acting skills. There is a little change every day, which means that Hugo is making adjustments every day, and he is always looking for the most suitable performance rhythm. , which best suits the figurative features of Anonymous.

Although Brad didn't want to admit it, he was really intimidated by Hugo. Others said how Hugo spent sleepless nights for his acting skills, how seriously he devoted himself, or how obsessed he was, Brad all felt that it was a lie and flattery. But only after I really experienced it did I know how much effort Hugo had put in for the performance, and the rumors could not convey the hardship and shock of the whole process at all.

In the face of enormous pressure, either succumb to retreat, or struggle to break out. Brad chose the latter. Not only did he not feel decadent, but he was inspired by a stronger fighting spirit. He always knew that Hugo was not an easy opponent to deal with, and he was never afraid.

So, compared to Hugo, who was silently polishing his acting skills, Brad's desperate image of Saburo slowly spread in the crew.

At this time, Hugo was filming the second scene since he joined the crew. They left the studio in Burbank and came to the streets of Los Angeles for street closure shooting, but this scene did not test Hugo's acting skills. Much, because like the first scene, he needs to wear a trench coat and hat to hide his entire face, and it is not yet time to reveal his true identity.

In this scene, Mills, played by Brad, and Samuel, played by Morgan, found the nameless person's house by digging around. Sai was also a little hesitant, but felt that "since there are no other clues, it's good to ask for proof". But they didn't expect that this clue that didn't give any hope helped them find Anonymous.

Anonymous didn't expect them to find him so quickly, so he could only flee. Samosa couldn't keep up with the speed because of his age, and was left behind, while Mills chased Anonymous all the way. It's the chase scene that's being filmed now.

The biggest test of Hugo's acting skills in the chase scene was that Anonymous's foot was injured. He didn't run smoothly, and he just ran away in a panic. But the whole scene is very physically exhausting, because the whole chase scene is divided into three parts, the indoor chase upstairs and downstairs, then the chase on the street, and finally the game in the remote dead end.

The indoor chase scene was filmed for a whole morning, running back and forth at least 30 times, and finally moved from indoors to the street. Since David wanted to create a somber and gray image tone, the plot was set in a downpour.

Hugo was the first to appear. He was scrambling to escape from the bustling traffic, especially the flooded streets kept slipping, which caused a lot of trouble for Hugo. The experience of filming "Life and Death" gave him a lot of trouble. A lot of experience came, but even so, Hugo collided with a stunt vehicle that was going to shoot a serial crash. Fortunately, it was not a head-on collision, but a large layer of skin was worn. After running back and forth fourteen times, the filming of all his parts was completely completed according to David's request.

Then came Brad's chasing scene. Since Hugo did not use a stand-in, Brad also rejected the request for a stand-in and went into battle in person. This is not only a contest of acting skills, but also a contest of momentum.

In David's "start shooting" shout, Brad rushed out towards the not rushing car array, but the heavy rain caused by the sprinkler was so majestic that his vision was almost completely blocked, and the soles of Brad's feet slipped. , the whole person flew out, and at the same time a yellow car slid past him.

With a loud bang, Brad and the car slammed into each other.
