Chapter 1826 Chapter 1826
"Bud White, don't be a bitch like your partner."
Ed's mocking words echoed on the set, like a giant palm, dragging Russell into Bard's world bit by bit.
This scene was filmed four times before and after, before all the fighting parts were filmed. The fight with real knives and real guns consumed almost all the physical strength of Hugo and Russell, but the whole scene was not over yet. Ed revealed all the truth of the matter, and then Bud also connected the clues he knew. The two put the whole incident together.
After finally getting confirmation from Curtis, all the filming of the scene was completed, and everyone on the scene breathed a sigh of relief. They were even more nervous and exhausted than Russell and Hugo.
Russell looked at Hugo in front of him. Hugo was curled up next to the safe. His spotless shirt and suit were already messed up, even stained with blood; He looked miserable, the blood bursting from the corners of his eyes and mouth became wet and sticky with sweat, he looked like a tramp dragged from a garbage dump. His body was still trembling slightly, his chest heaved violently, and the fragility that would be completely disintegrated with a light touch was rippling on his dry lips.
However, apart from being tired, those amber eyes shone with unshakable determination. That touch of firmness made him look... perfect.
The person in front of him is Hugo, and Ed. At the beginning of the movie, Ed was hated by everyone. In fact, even now, Ed is still unlikable, but people have to admire him. The kind of admiration that does not know where it came from is stirring in the bottom of my heart. with.
Russell's eyes suddenly became moist, and it wasn't until this moment that he really felt the power of acting. In the scene just now, it was obvious that all the explosions were on him, all the details were on him, and that kind of mixed transformation was the highlight of the whole scene; but all his explosions were not as good as the rain Guo's inner struggle, the complex emotions between the brows and the depths of the eyes, seem to contain too many messages. Ed, played by Hugo, is not purely kind or evil, nor is he simply disgusting. Or like it, the kind of confusion that walks in the gray area between black and white makes people have to be moved.
Ed, who looked like a wounded beast in front of him, curled up in a corner and sucked his wounds, clearly showing the extreme restrained yet full extreme emotions. Perhaps, no one will like Ed, because beasts are always beasts, even if he is injured, his bloodthirsty and brutal nature cannot be concealed; but at this moment, no one will reject Ed, no one.
Russell finally understood the meaning of what Hugo said to him before. Acting skills can be learned, but it is difficult to copy, because everyone has their own acting methods and their own performance characteristics. Only your own style can truly create a shocking character.
Russell turned his head in embarrassment, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, then walked towards Hugo, and stretched out his right hand. Hugo raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as warm as the morning light. This is Hugo, not Ed. Hugo grabbed Russell's right hand, then stood up, and patted Russell's arm with a smile, "The performance just now was wonderful, I'm glad we ended this scene within an hour."
After finishing speaking, Hugo was about to turn around to treat the wound—he was really injured, but Russell stopped Hugo, he hesitated, and opened his mouth to say, "Thank you."
Hugo didn't understand, and frowned and looked at Russell, but Russell didn't intend to explain, but said again, "I mean it, thank you." Then, Russell punched Hugo in the chest, turned around and walked away. left first. Hugo was left standing alone in a daze.
"Hugo, are you okay?" Joseph ran over, frowning and looking at the devastated Hugo, followed by Zamora and Charlize.
Charlize saw the wounds on the corners of Hugo's mouth and the ends of his eyebrows, and his delicate eyebrows were knotted into a ball. He leaned over to take a closer look, and even raised his hand to pat it gently. Hugo gasped immediately, "Hey! Woman!" Charlize pursed her lips, nodded her chin lightly, and said in a certified tone, "Fortunately, I'm not crazy."
One sentence made Hugo dumbfounded.
"So you were really injured?" Joseph also noticed the authenticity of the wounds at this time. Although they were just scratches, the wounds were very obvious. What's more, Hugo's face was severely beaten by Russell several times. Circle, bruises can be seen in some places now. "God, how are you going to shoot the next scene?"
Hugo smiled hehe, but he didn't want to, but the corner of his mouth was involved, and he grinned in pain, making both Joseph and Zamora look helpless, while Charlize laughed directly without embarrassment. Hugo rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Isn't the next scene more real? Otherwise, Ed was beaten just now, and then appeared on the big screen without incident, how strange it seems."
"However, we still have a few scenes before Ed and Bud fight." Charlize said seriously. In fact, Hugo's "injury" is not as serious as imagined. You just need to cover it up a little bit when you put on makeup, and use the lighting and shooting angle when shooting, so you can't see it. Charlize was teasing Hugo on purpose.
Hugo couldn't help being stunned. Of course he knew that makeup technology could cover it up, but he hadn't seen how serious his cheek injury was, and whether makeup could cover it up. When Charlize said it so seriously, he immediately began to worry, which affected the progress of the subsequent filming. The progress is very fast.
Hugo hurriedly ran to the makeup artist, picked up the mirror to confirm the situation. Seeing Hugo's embarrassed appearance, although they knew it was not the time to laugh, Joseph, Zamora, and Charlize looked at each other and laughed loudly.
"Hugo, why did you put so much effort into this scene just now? So desperate..." Curtis hurried over, concerned about Hugo's situation, but seeing the worried expression on the makeup artist's face, he couldn't help but pause Living.
Hugo pressed his muscles on the left side of his face, grinned slightly in pain, and then nodded, "Well, there will probably be bruises tomorrow, but I don't know how bad it is." Hugo looked back at the makeup Teacher, "If you put on too much foundation, the close-ups will show your stuff. Before that, Ed almost didn't wear makeup, so he suddenly became white like a vampire. It's too strange."
Everyone else was worried, but Hugo himself was calm. When he turned around and saw Curtis, Hugo didn't wait for the makeup artist's answer, but went on to say, "Before this fight scene , How many scenes are still unfinished? Should we rush to shoot today? I just don’t know if it will be too late.”
Curtis stayed where he was, not knowing how to answer, so he could only look at the makeup artist. The make-up artist motioned for Hugo to turn his head around and checked carefully.
Hugo has also encountered such a situation before. After all, it is difficult to look forward and backward during the shooting process. If you want to shoot this scene well, you must go all out, so you will inevitably encounter various emergencies. In fact, Russell's performance today was very good, and he didn't really try his best - otherwise Hugo, who almost didn't fight back, might look even worse. Most importantly, the effect of the scene just now completely exceeded expectations.
The makeup artist nodded helplessly at Curtis. Although they didn't know what the bruise would be like tomorrow, they had to be prepared.
Curtis lowered his head and began to think seriously, but seeing Hugo's embarrassed face, he couldn't help but laugh. Hugo only felt uncomfortable in his mouth. He picked up the paper cup next to him and spit out a mouthful, but it was all bright red blood. This scene completely froze the people around him, and Curtis's smile froze on his lips before he could release it, and Hugo immediately felt the vision projected from all around him, and he laughed instead, " It’s okay, it’s just a bit of tooth blood, the inner wall of the mouth is worn out, I’m not vomiting blood.”
Seeing Hugo's calm appearance, Curtis had mixed feelings and couldn't describe it, "I heard that you are dedicated before, but only after you have actually worked with you can I know that you are indeed an excellent actor." This made Hugo shiver. Shrugging his shoulders, but without any complacent gesture, Curtis took a deep breath, "Before this fight scene, you still have a scene to shoot, that is, the scene with Charlize, which was originally planned to be filmed tomorrow, but now ..."
In fact, it was the temptation in the fight scene just now. Because, Ed and Lynn go. The scene with the sheets. Originally, this scene was to be filmed first, but the next one. The rental time here at the urban police station is coming up, so the crew had to make adjustments to complete the scenes that had to be filmed on-site in the police station ahead of schedule, which made the rivalry scene between Ed and Lynn postponed.
"This scene happened at night, right?" Hugo thought about it carefully, "Call the owner of the villa and ask, can we go to shoot in the early hours of tonight? If possible, just directly In the past. If it doesn’t work...we are discussing to see if it can be completed in the shed.” The villa where Lynn lives is also a rented location.
Curtis nodded, "That's the only way to do it." Curtis looked at Hugo's miserable state again. At this time, he finally understood why Hugo is such a big name in Hollywood now, but with him The crew he has worked with are still full of praise for him. All things happen for a reason.
A helpless smile formed on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head, before Curtis turned to get busy. Today's filming schedule has to be adjusted again.
