Chapter 1208 1208 The King of Heaven Appears
All of Hugo's roles in "The Seven Deadly Sins" have been completed, but he is not very satisfied. On the one hand, the role of Anonymous is really too narrow, and Hugo is still unfinished; on the other hand, Hugo is constantly studying his acting skills. At this time, there is still a layer of fog to touch the door, as if touching the frosted glass door, and you can vaguely see the opposite scene, but that layer of frosting can't go away, although the "seven deadly sins" The performance was done well, but Hugo was still very dissatisfied with himself, as if... it was like tearing open a scabbed scar. It was obviously half torn, but it was stopped, so the scar was The itchy and painful drooping was there.
It's so frustrating.
Although Hugo's role has been completed, the crew has not yet completed it. Brad and Morgan still have a few scenes to shoot, and Hugo has not left the crew, although everyone thinks that Hugo is in order to avoid his bald image being captured by the paparazzi. However, Joseph knew that Hugo was itchy, and he was still eager to act.
Such Hugo makes Joseph very interesting. Although Hugo has always been passionate about acting, it is the first time that "drama addiction" has appeared on Hugo. Joseph mentioned this to Rick a few days ago, and Rick was very happy to help Hugo pick up a new script, but it was not that simple.
After the hype and farce of "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins", is Hugo's new work a commercial blockbuster, or a low-key transition to a small-cost awards season art work? Rick needs to carefully measure and plan, and, from the perspective of Hugo's play addiction, it is estimated that the latter is more suitable, so this is even more difficult.
How well a commercial blockbuster sells is probably a few key points. However, to make an art film well, it is a job that needs to be constantly pondered, and the script is only one of the important links.
For Rick, though, it was a blissful annoyance.
Hugo is sitting on the set at this time, although his acting still has not made a breakthrough, but is still in the process of rebuilding, but since he tried to combine method and expressionism, his vision has broadened a lot, and he can now It is obvious that Brad's performance is too rigid, his personal color is too heavy, but inflexible, so as to obscure the lines of the character itself, in short, Brad can't perform well.
Only when he was really involved in the script did Hugo know that Mills was actually a character that was not inferior to Anonymous. Maybe the performance was not so difficult, but it was still very challenging. Mills lost control of his emotions step by step, and his anxiety increased little by little. In fact, this is the dark line of the script, not only the trap of Anonymous, but also caused by the entire social environment. Watch out for hooking.
Therefore, the script of "Seven Deadly Sins" is not lacking in excavation. On the contrary, the theme is actually very deep, but because Brad performed the whole out of control process too thickly, people ignored this dark line, which naturally affects the quality of the finished product. have an impact. Similarly, the same is true of David Fincher, who was still relatively young at this time. His carving of dark lines is also obviously insufficient. No wonder people always say that the artistic value of "Fight Club" is higher than that of "Seven Deadly Sins".
However, let Hugo say that he can be eloquent in his acting skills, and even roll up his sleeves to demonstrate it.
Just as Hugo was choking on Brad's distraction, there was some commotion from the outside of the crew, which made Hugo frowned slightly and looked over. It is the consensus of everyone that the crew must be quiet at all times, especially for those who are recording live, any noise will have an impact, and it will be fatal to the work of sound engineers, sound engineers, and sound engineers. .
Joseph walked over and patted Hugo on the shoulder, "You have a visitor."
Hugo's eyebrows tangled together, "Who?" His role has been completed, most of his friends know it, and they will definitely not come to visit the class, is it Cameron Diaz?
"Michael Jackson." With Joseph's lowered voice, Hugo saw the low-key figure, but even if he was wearing a hat, a scarf, and a black suit, everyone around him easily recognized him. .
Michael Jackson, one of the greatest and top superstars in the history of American music, there may be countless great singers in the long history of music, but there will definitely be a place for him in the top ten ranks, and more importantly, , his enormous influence on the 1980s and 1990s is unparalleled.
Hugo stood up abruptly, staring at the still pale and slender man in front of him, stunned.
Although in the eyes of many people, Hugo and Michael are very good friends, but if they are told that this is only the second official meeting between Hugo and Michael, it is estimated that no one will want to pack a list. But that's what happened. Except for the first time they met Katherine Hepburn on Broadway, they never saw each other again.
The 12 bodyguards in the two big rows around Michael Jackson had a strong aura, causing everyone around them to shy away, but they were unwilling to leave.
Michael nodded at Hugo with a smile, but instead of going straight to Hugo, he walked to the director's chair next to him, but there was no one there, so he had to look left and right, and asked politely, "May I ask you Where is Wei?"
David Fincher, who was standing behind the monitor, immediately stood up, "Oh, Michael, you...how did you come?" Although David and Michael worked together, he was just a small music video director at the time It's just, it's not worth mentioning at all, he never thought that Michael still remembers himself - when Hugo told him that it was Michael who mentioned him, he just took it as a joke.
"I came to visit my old friend, I didn't think to disturb your work, I'm really sorry." Michael smiled apologetically, David was stunned, and then he burst out laughing, "It's okay, it's okay... It just happened that we Resting, that's okay."
Michael shook David's right hand, then walked towards Hugo, and finally stopped in front of Hugo, "Hey, man, long time no see."
Maybe others think that Michael went to Europe to recuperate for more than half a year, and they have been gone for a long time; but for Hugo, they have really been gone for a long time.
"Hey, man, long time no see." After Hugo woke up from the shock, he chuckled and shook his head, "You look good, although your skin is less bloody than I thought, but you look very energetic."
"How dare you talk about my skin directly in front of me?" Michael raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise, the big black man standing next to him took half a step forward, ready to go, This made Joseph and Samora also hurriedly leaned over, but in the end, Michael chuckled and turned to the big black man and said, "Cole, I told you, this is my friend."
The big black man stepped back, and then Michael turned his head to look at Hugo, "You look good now, I heard you are doing well now." Indeed, when Michael's incident broke out two years ago, rain Guo can only be said to be a rising star with a strong rise, but now he is already an unquestionable member of the superstar ranks.
Hugo chuckled and shook his head, "Although I feel honored that you came to the studio to tell me this, but... Michael, I must say that you have affected our crew's work."
As soon as Hugo's words came out, the other staff next to him took a deep breath. You must know that in the entire Hollywood entertainment circle, the only person who can let Michael visit the class in person is Elizabeth Taylor. Today, Michael came to visit Hugo's class in person, and Hugo actually... wants to drive him away? This was so incredible that even David hesitated whether he should come up to lighten the atmosphere - in fact, he didn't mind the little bit of time being delayed.
As for Brad and Morgan, who were completely ignored, no one paid any attention to their expressions at this time. Morgan, who had experienced countless storms and waves, walked to the side with a calm expression and watched Michael come together; Brad's The figure disappeared.
But Michael nodded lightly when he heard Hugo's words, "I'm sorry, my fault, I'm really sorry. I knew that I came to the set to hinder everyone's work." Michael's words were still gentle and slender, and he usually spoke softly and slenderly. He doesn't use his voice too much, and this kind of stranger - the gathering of strangers in the circle always makes him nervous and repulsive. But today, Michael's expression is not tense and uneasy, and the eyes hidden in the shadow of the hat brim are full of energy.
That's why Hugo dared to joke, such a Michael was very different from the Uranus superstar he remembered after being severely beaten, lethargic, and started to rely on drugs. After all, history has changed, which makes Hugo's mood lightly fly.
Michael looked at Hugo's chaotic eyes with a little gentleness, and was a little surprised. This was different from the Hugo in his impression. Michael naturally didn't know much about acting, and he didn't know Hugo either. After trying to figure out what happened in the role of Anonymous, Michael hesitated for a while and said, "Are you convenient today? Can we sit down and have a good talk?"
Hugo noticed Michael's hesitation, because Michael was always so sensitive, and a little bit of trouble would make him alarmed, not because Michael was too weak, but because the circle, those media, and countless public opinions forced him to be like this. Hugo also realized that the emotions in his mind were still stuck with Anonymous, so he lowered his head and cleared his throat, and when he raised his head again, the smile on the corner of his mouth returned to its usual clearness, "Of course, my work has been completed, it can be Available anytime. If you need it, you can now…”
Having said this, Hugo paused and looked around awkwardly, "Are my words just too eager, should I be more reserved so that I don't sound like a lunatic?"
Hahahaha, everyone around was bursting into laughter.
