Chapter 1608 1608 Guest Roles
After going through difficulties and obstacles, the vehicle slowly drove into the "Titanic" crew, blocking the surging crowd, but the uncontrollable screams and crying still came clearly, and the hot sound seemed to be Let the air in the crew boil.
Hugo let out a long sigh of relief, adjusted his emotions, then got out of the car, and then saw James Cameron with a bad face in front of him.
Clearly James didn't like the mess that Hugo created, not only because it made filming difficult, but because it wasn't because of him but because of Hugo - who should be "Titanic" "Focus.
However, James' face was ugly and ugly, but he did not play a temper on Hugo, but welcomed Hugo politely and politely. Obviously, James clearly felt the strong box office appeal of Hugo now, if Hugo cameo " "Titanic", which is definitely good for the movie - he doesn't mind Hugo's cameo for a scene or two, it doesn't hurt; and deep down, James also knows that Hugo voluntarily quit "Titanic" ", helped him a lot, Leonardo is also his favorite actor, although he doesn't think he owes Hugo a favor, but at least he won't write rejection on his face.
Hugo didn't expect James to give him a warm welcome, so he didn't mind, and walked into the studio with James quickly, blocking out the noise and turbulence on the outside. I quickly cut into the theme, "Thank you for your willingness to come to our crew today to make a cameo appearance. This is our honor. I wonder which character in the script are you interested in?"
Hugo chuckled, "You are the host, I am the guest, of course it's up to you."
These words stretched the smile on James' face, obviously satisfied with Hugo's knowledge, "I originally wanted to give you a role with more shots, but unfortunately Rick said that your schedule is not good, really a Pity."
James made a rare courtesy. Of course, Hugo would not take it seriously, but he would not expose James. "This is my loss. I will give Henry the next few months, and I am very sorry."
When you come and go, it can be regarded as a pleasure for the guests and hosts.
"Hugo, oh, God, you finally appeared!" Leonardo showed a bright smile from a distance, and ran all the way, the familiar costumes and smiles looked like Jack from the "Titanic" ” came out of the story, giving Hugo a trance-like illusion, “You’ve been so busy lately, I almost thought you broke your promise.” Then Leonardo gave Hugo a big hug, direct and enthusiastic He showed the joy in his heart at the moment.
"My promise, I will always try my best to keep it." Hugo also showed a smile on his face. Leaving James' vigilance aside, Hugo's happiness came from the heart to be a part of the "Titanic" of.
Immediately afterwards, Hugo saw Ruth curling up in the story through Leonardo's shoulder. To be more precise, it was not just Kate Winslet, but the entire "Titanic" crew. They have all suspended the work at hand, and everyone has cast their gazes to welcome Hugo.
"Miss Winslet, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Hugo let go of Leonardo and politely gave a gentleman's salute.
A shy smile bloomed on Kate's face. "It's a pleasure to meet you again, Mr. Lancaster. I didn't expect to see the hero who saves the earth with my own eyes. It's my honor." Kate is only twenty this year. Just one year old, just like all young girls who have just opened their hearts, it is difficult to keep calm when he sees Hugo standing in front of him.
Kate likes Hugo. This is a fact that all her friends know well. Although Kate has seen Hugo many times at the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscars, she still can't control her chaos. The throbbing heart, the throbbing throbbing, made her nervous.
Last night, I learned that Hugo will come to the crew today to complete a cameo role. She didn't sleep well all night, and she had several dreams in a daze, all of which were related to Hugo. Seeing Hugo with her own eyes at this time, although she still spoke freely, her vocal cords were trembling slightly, which clearly reflected her inner surging at the moment.
"It's a pity that I couldn't save the Titanic." Hugo's teasing made everyone around him chuckle, even James.
After a brief encounter with the actors, Hugo turned to look at James, "So, what is my cameo role? I'm ready to enter this doomed ship."
After the "Independence Day" shooting, Hugo knew that the shooting of a blockbuster like "Titanic" is a huge system, and the shooting process is not easy. Because of his arrival today, some shooting progress is bound to be delayed. But the irony is that he is only a cameo actor, and a one-day cameo performance will have an impact on the subsequent shooting progress of the entire crew. This is not a good thing - especially for James, so Hugo doesn't have too much nonsense and cuts to the subject directly.
Sure enough, James greatly admired Hugo's knowledge. Leaving aside personal grievances, Hugo was not a regular member of the crew, just a cameo, James still raised his hands to welcome, "In fact, we have prepared two cameos for you. The role, you can choose by yourself."
Leonardo, who was standing beside Hugo, was already gearing up, looking eager to try, which made Hugo couldn't help laughing, he nodded towards James, "This is flattering me, you can talk about it in detail, I hope I was able to make the right choice."
James was originally very upset because of the arrival of Hugo, but gradually calmed down at this time, "A character who plays opposite Leo and Kate is a waiter, you will appear in Leo No. 1 On a formal banquet, there is a single shot, two lines, and a shared shot with Leo and Kate."
Hugo thought about it carefully, and probably knew which character James was talking about. The night Jack and Ruth first met, Jack rescued Ruth, and was seen by his fiancé Carl who arrived. At Ruth's request, Karl, in order to express his gratitude, invited Jack to attend the upper class the next day. A lunch banquet attended by the society. Although the shabby Jack received the help of the upstart Mary and attended the lunch decently, he made some jokes at the banquet and became the object of ridicule.
What James is talking about is probably the waiter at this lunch banquet. This waiter mainly exists as a background, but he has a simple rivalry with Leonardo and Kate, which is quite a scene-stealing scene. If Hugo made a cameo role, James would definitely give some more shots to attract the audience's attention. His starting point was to allow Hugo to interact with the two leading actors.
Hugo nodded slightly, and then heard James continue, "There is another character that exists independently. He has about two scenes. Although they are both group scenes, the shots are relatively long and there are several lines. , but there is no direct rivalry with the protagonists. That is the violinist who accompanies the background music of the banquet hall. There may be one or two shots in the background of the banquet, the most important thing is when the ship wrecked in the back. , go to the deck to play cheerful music, this section will have more concentrated shots."
This violinist, James just mentioned, Hugo was immediately impressed. The scene where the violinist really has a camera is actually the scene on the deck. The dialogue is relatively simple, and he has no opposite scenes with the protagonists. It can be said that he is one of the hundreds of supporting actors in "Titanic". But Hugo was impressed by the role.
When the ship began to sink, the sailors began to lower the lifeboats, and the whole deck became a mess. The banquet accompaniment band brought their own instruments to the deck to play. They played cheerful music at first, trying to soothe everyone's emotions, but in the face of disaster , no one cared about their music at all, and the contrast between the elegant classical notes and the chaotic survival scenes created an indescribable impact.
Later, the band decided to give up playing and survive on their own. But the violinist was reluctant. Looking at the disaster scene, he stayed and played a melodious hymn. Then his companions joined in and played the last chapter together. This piece is called "" Close to the Lord (Nearer. My. God. To. Thee)", a hymn widely circulated in England and North America, the lyrics were born in the seventeenth century by an ordinary English woman.
Along with the melodious and melodious melody, James showed the quiet moment of the disaster on the entire ship, which contrasted sharply with the hell scene where ghosts cry and wolf howls. There are only a few fragmentary shots, but it has left a deep imprint on Hugo's mind forever.
I have to say that James has made full consideration. The two roles have their own pros and cons, and they are both worthy of performance. For Hugo, who is making a cameo, it is really a difficult choice to decide.
However, after Hugo listened to James' introduction, he had already made a decision in his heart. He didn't mind whether he could appear on the screen for more time, and he didn't mind whether he had a lot of scenes with the two protagonists. He preferred the charm of the characters themselves - even if It's just a cameo for two or three shots.
"Violinist, as long as you don't mind I can't play the violin." Hugo gave the answer neatly, but it brought a bright smile to James' face.
If Hugo wants to play the waiter, this means that all the leading actors must cooperate with Hugo and re-shoot the scene, which will inevitably delay more time; but Hugo will play the violinist, only a few extras are needed It's enough to gather together and shoot, and it can be solved in half an hour at most.
This is undoubtedly good news for James, "Excellent choice!"
