Chapter 1918: 1918 Script Practice

With half anticipation and half worry about "The Truman Show", Hugo slowly walked back to the crew, but he kept adjusting his walking posture and rhythm along the way, trying to find the most suitable pace , not too stiff, not too lively, and not too deliberate.

The crew saw Hugo approaching from a distance, and the whole person looked a little weird, constantly adjusting his steps, gestures and postures, changing his posture every few steps, just like a baby learning to walk, trying hard Looking for balance. That appearance, a little clumsy, a little honest, a little cute, makes people laugh.

After Hugo approached slowly, he saw the expressions on the faces of the crew members who were holding back their smiles. Hugo immediately realized the reason. He stood in place relaxedly, spread his hands, and moved forward slightly. Giving away the waist, with a calm smile on his face, "I am an open-minded person."

A Truman-style self-deprecating, clever and sunny, made all the staff couldn't hold back anymore, and all burst into laughter. Hugo always maintained the original movement, accepting the baptism of everyone's smiles. After a while, he took another step, but he was still slowly studying the walking posture. The weird walking rhythm made everyone Everyone laughed, and the warm and breezy atmosphere slowly flowed among the crew, as if clear hot spring water was jingling and jumping among the round rocks.

Peter Weir, who was discussing the settling of the crew with the crew, heard the laughter coming from the entrance, looked up and greeted Hugo with a warm smile, "So, I'm learning how to walk Hugo looked at Peter in surprise, because everyone didn't understand Hugo's intention of walking so strangely, and thought he was just grandstanding, "Forgot? Robin always liked to tell jokes with you during the break , imitating others vividly, one of which is to learn how others walk."

"Oh, yes..." The memories deep in Hugo's mind were awakened by Peter, and a smile appeared on his face, "What impressed me the most was that Robin once learned the walking posture of a pregnant woman, that was really... ..." It was so similar that it was not enough to describe it just vividly. Hugo even suspected that Robin was "really" pregnant. Perhaps, that's why Robin's role in "Slim Dad" was such a huge success later on.

"Perhaps since then, you have been interested in comedy." Peter's words seemed casual, but it gave Hugo a new understanding. Perhaps, the seeds of comedy were planted from then on. "Hey, Nicole, are you here too?" Peter greeted without warning, Hugo turned his head reflexively, and saw Nicole walking slowly.

Nicole smiled and waved to the staff all the way, and finally settled in front of Peter, "This town is smaller than I imagined, and the most impressive thing is the beautiful scenery surrounded by the sea, which is really unimaginable. Nicole looked at Hugo and got a nod of approval, which deepened the smile on her face, and then looked at Peter, "I'm ready now, I don't know when it will start?"

Peter met Hugo with puzzled eyes, "Script practice."

Hugo suddenly realized, "Oh, do you want to start the script practice now? Of course I have no problem, I can start anytime." Hugo looked around, but there was no other actor in sight, "So which scene do you plan to start from? Start practicing? Just me and Nicole?"

"Yes, let's start with you. After dinner, other actors should arrive one after another. There will be a collective script exercise." Peter explained, "You know that all the pressure of this movie is on your shoulders, Therefore, the script practice is still based on you."

There are many actors in "The Truman Show", but in fact, the real protagonist is only Truman. This is Truman's one-man show. Although the wife Meryl played by Nicole and the friend Marlon played by Alexander Lorraine have many roles, But it can only be regarded as a supporting role, more of a role that promotes the plot. As Peter said, Hugo's performance determines the quality of the whole movie.

Hugo smiled and nodded, "Then let's start."

Hugo and his team came to a quiet corner next to the crew, and sat under the open tent, with the sparkling sea in front of them, and the gentle sea breeze blowing towards them. Hugo took the script from Zamora, opened it, and there were a lot of notes written in black. It can be seen that even though Hugo already has so many honors, for this shooting, He still attaches great importance to it.

"Which scene will be rehearsed first?" Both Hugo and Nicole looked at Peter, and Peter flipped through the script, "I just thought about it, how about we start with the seventeenth scene?"

The seventeenth scene is actually just a scene not far after the opening of the movie, but because there are many scenes that advance slowly at the beginning of the movie, the number is relatively large. Hugo immediately understood why Peter chose this scene, because this was the first scene where Truman had a conversation with his wife after he questioned his life.

A series of strange events have occurred in Truman's life, and at the same time his desire to go to Fiji has been around the corner. But at this time Truman didn't understand the exact purpose of his want to go to Fiji, he just wanted to leave here to see the outside world, and he was more in the stage of curiosity and entanglement.

Truman first discussed with his friend Malone, but Malone denied his idea; he sat alone on the beach and thought about all the possibilities, but the fear of the sea restrained his steps, which made him a little frustrated , at this time, it suddenly started to rain on the beach, and Truman, who was drenched in the rain, ran home in embarrassment, wanting to share his thoughts with his wife, eager to be recognized.

So, there is the following conversation.

It can be said that this is Truman's first collision with an unknown life, and the joint efforts of his friend and wife suppressed his inner desire to move. Whether it is Truman, Malone, or Meryl, their roles in this dialogue are very important. On the one hand, they want to discourage Truman's thoughts, and on the other hand, they must not reveal panic and abnormality. The door remains in the studio.

Hugo read the lines and the whole plot up and down, including the lines of Truman and Meryl, then raised his head to look at Nicole, and found that Nicole's eyes were closed and she was slowly adjusting herself Breathing, her whole body's emotions were settling down, as if she could see the irritable dust around her quiet down little by little.

Nicole opened her eyes, and then met Hugo's sight. She nodded her chin, indicating that she was ready.

Nicole raised her head with a surprised expression, "You're completely wet! Where did you go?"

Hugo looked at Nicole in front of him, looked at her intently, widened his eyes and said every word with sincerity, "I realize that if we squeeze out eight thousand dollars..."

But Nicole shook her head and interrupted his words, "Every time you go out with Malone..."

"We'll be able to travel around for a whole year!" Truman's eyes shone with excitement, the amber pupils seemed to be filled with sunshine, and the whole face was full of pure and simple happiness.

Nicole couldn't help but paused. She saw the excited face in front of her eyes, and the words stuck in her throat. She really couldn't bear to refuse, but she only paused for about a second, and then Nicole said Taking a deep breath, he smiled, "And then? Truman? We're going back to five years ago." These words dimmed the halo on Truman's face little by little, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be slowly Like withered flowers, one couldn't help feeling sorry, Nicole lowered her eyes, avoiding Truman's sight, "You are like a young boy who can't grow up."

Truman pursed his lips depressedly, but then his eyes widened again, and his smile boiled from the depths of his heart again, "Very well, maybe I'm like a teenager."

Nicole looked into Truman's eyes, paused, and the smile on the corner of her mouth narrowed, "We still have a mortgage to pay, Truman," the voice seemed a little too serious, and then the words became a little hasty, " We still have a car loan, how can we just walk away without any consequences?"

Truman lowered his head in disappointment. Hearing the familiar old Taoist, his brows frowned slightly. He couldn't help but stood up and turned around, but then turned around again, and just circled around like this , "But that will be an adventure!" Truman looked at his wife eagerly, and stretched out his hands to try to gain approval.

But Nicole paused, took a deep breath, and looked at Truman expectantly, "I thought we were ready to have a baby." But the irritability in the words still surged up, "That's not enough Adventure?"

Truman took two steps back in disappointment, buried his head deeply, "Then you can wait..." He looked at his wife again, "But I want to go for a walk." Truman couldn't help it I began to raise my hands, trying to outline and describe the beautiful and unknown world with my own hands, "Go and see the world, to explore new worlds." The face full of hope looks like a man with a great dream. Seven-year-old child.

"Explore..." Nicole showed a playful smile, stood up, looked at Truman, and said... "No, I need to do it all over again." Both Hugo and Peter looked at Nicole in surprise. But, in fact, there are only the last three lines left in this scene, but Nicole couldn't hold on anymore, she put the script on the table depressedly, and shook her head again, "Sorry, I...I think The form is completely wrong, can we do it all over again?"

Hugo could sense that something was wrong with Nicole, and he was a bit stuck in the process of speaking just now, but he didn't say much, just nodded briskly, "Of course, there's no problem."
