1921 Chapter 1921

"Hugo, you have to help me." Alex looked at Hugo nervously, jumping on the spot anxiously, but this appearance made Hugo laugh out loud. Seeing Hugo's schadenfreude, Alex clenched his fist depressedly, but after waving it, he found that there was no deterrent effect on Hugo, so he could only put it down depressedly, and continued to beg bitterly, " I mean it, I'm so nervous I'm about to pee my pants right now."

"Haha... Don't worry, Alex, you're wearing black pants today, others won't be able to tell." Hugo was still joking, making Alex completely helpless, only feeling a ball of cotton stuffed on his chest. Hugo patted his chest, calmed down, and then said seriously, "Don't worry, you will perform well. Don't worry too much, we just discussed the role of Malone yesterday, didn't we?"

The script practice lasted for three days, and Nicole gradually entered the state. Although she still needs to adjust a little bit, she is indeed getting better. It can be seen that she is indeed an actress with great acting talent. The most important thing is It is she and Hugo who are cultivating a tacit understanding as a partner, which is the best news for the movie; and Kate Winslet has not yet joined the crew due to her limited roles, which puts all the pressure on on Alex's shoulders - he wasn't confident enough in his acting skills.

Although Alex also guest-starred in "Before Sunrise" and "Independence Day" before, that was just soy sauce, and he has not really acted opposite Hugo. He and Hugo are friends now, but it still doesn't change the fact that Hugo is the object of his admiration-Hugo's acting skills have always been Alex's most admired talent.

Due to Marlon's important role in "The Truman Show", this also puts more pressure on Alex, who is very worried that his poor performance will ruin the entire movie-even Nicole in front of Hugo. He was at a disadvantage, let alone him? Especially with the official start of filming of "The Truman Show", in the past week, Alex's appearances have been very limited, but his tension is still rising, and today he will appear in the official second major scene, Ma Long will have a real heart-to-heart relationship with Truman. This presents a whole new challenge for Alex, and his panic is at its peak.

Looking at Alex, who was obviously disturbed, Hugo took a deep breath and said seriously, "Don't worry too much. During the actual shooting, we take care of each other and cooperate with each other. There will be absolutely no problems in the performance." But these words still didn't make Alex feel at ease, Hugo thought for a while, "Well, you can stand by and watch the following scene, and after my performance is over, we will discuss and communicate slowly, let you Get into the situation a little bit."

Alex nodded vigorously, "That's a good idea."

Hugo smiled, and raised his right hand with his index finger and middle finger crossed, "Then pray that I don't screw up this scene." After speaking, Hugo walked aside and asked the stylist and makeup artist to confirm his There was no problem with dressing up, and then walked towards the square in front of me.

After only a few steps, Hugo stopped, then squatted down, rolled up his trousers, revealing the big red socks inside, and carefully straightened the socks without leaving any wrinkles. These small details are Hugo’s own ideas. The modeling team didn’t understand Hugo’s intention at all, but they were still prepared according to Hugo’s requirements—big red became the only color of socks in the whole movie for Truman.

Immediately, Hugo took another step, walked to the stone chair next to the square, and sat down.

"The Truman Show" will shoot a scene today, which is Truman's one-man show. Truman gradually became aware of more and more abnormalities in his life. On his way to work, a channel appeared on his radio, and then he heard a very strange conversation—they were almost broadcasting Truman’s every move, as if It was like watching Truman secretly; when he arrived at the office building, Truman couldn't settle down at all. He felt that there were surveillance sights from all directions, which made him full of doubts and panic.

Under such circumstances, Truman tried to make some different moves to test, and finally ran to talk to Malone—that is, the next scene between Hugo and Alex, which also put Alex under great pressure. the direct cause of.

Hugo sat down on the stone chair, and then slowly adjusted his breathing. At this moment, Truman still didn't know anything, but felt that there were too many abnormalities in life, and even suspected that there were spies watching him. When this kind of thing happened in the life of any ordinary person, it was enough to make people panic, and Truman was no exception.

"Hugo, cameras 1, 3, and 4 pull medium shots, and camera 2 pulls close-ups." Standing outside the square, Peter shouted with a microphone, the empty voice echoing in the square , Hugo raised his right hand towards Peter and made an "OK" gesture, and then Peter went on to say, "Other actors, please follow your daily life and don't pay attention to the camera. If it exists, don’t bother with Hugo, there will be no problem.”

In order to pursue authenticity, except for the main actors, all the extras in the crew are locals from Seaside. Since life here is usually not too busy, many people actively sign up to participate in a film shooting In addition, you can also get paid, which is indeed a bargain.

After Peter finished explaining, the recorder ran to the No. 1 camera, turned around to the surrounding cameras, and then started to play the board, announcing the start of filming of the scene.

Alex was standing behind the monitor at this time, but his eyes did not stay on the monitor screen. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Hugo, who was more than 20 yards away from him, biting his right thumb lightly. nails, trying to see every movement of Hugo clearly. Not only Alex, but Nicole was also standing beside her at this time, holding her chin gracefully, quietly watching everything that happened on the field with a pair of wonderful eyes.

In an instant, the entire crew fell silent, and an ordinary morning in the square began slowly.

Truman did not choose to go to work. This was an unprecedented decision that broke the routine of daily life, but Truman really couldn’t go to work today. There were too many abnormal situations of anxiety. There is no way to focus. After leaving the company, he walked to the stone chair on the opposite side of the square. There were not many people around, only some ordinary people were starting a new day, but even so, Truman still stood in place and looked around anxiously, as if he was always in the same place. Worried about what uncertain factors appear.

Truman sat down slowly, with his feet obediently put together in front of the chair, and his hands neatly placed on his knees, like a child in a kindergarten waiting to distribute snacks, but his shoulders could not help but droop slightly, His eyes were uneasily looking around, and the panic between his eyebrows was gently surging like a cloud.

Truman's eyes were full of confusion. He tried to find some abnormalities around him, but he didn't know what he was looking for. He could only look blankly at the turbulent crowd to see if he could find some clues.

An elderly couple not far away is sharing breakfast and chatting about trivial topics; a toddler next to it is slowly moving forward under the care of its mother. Turning around, two gray-haired old men were sitting beside the burrito truck. They were holding a cup of coffee and smoking a cigar, chatting about the weather with a smile. fainted under the sun.

The confusion in Truman's eyes became more and more, and even became a thin mist, lingering on the amber eyes, because everything around him was too normal, and there was no abnormality at all, which made Truman I began to wonder if I was thinking too much. Is everything abnormal a coincidence? Or is he thinking too much?

That sliver of confusion made people couldn't help but soften their hearts. Alex stood behind the monitor, without realizing it, he took a small step forward, just wanting to guide the lost man in front of him, that fragility was completely exposed to the sun, So direct, so brutal. In particular, Alex knew clearly that Truman's suspicions were all correct, and he was being manipulated by the show crew like a rag doll. At this time, Truman's confusion and hesitation became even more unbearable.

Truman's slightly frowned eyebrows slowly relaxed, and the tightness at the corners of his mouth loosened slightly, but he still couldn't help searching around with his eyes, and even tried to listen to the unfamiliar Spanish with his ears, eager to find A little trace to prove that he is not a lunatic, that he is not a psychopath who thinks wildly during the day.

At this moment, Truman saw a man wearing a hat across the street. He looked down at the time on his wrist—the problem was that he didn't wear a watch on his wrist at all, and he was quietly looking at Truman from the corner of his eyes. When Shi suddenly raised his head, the eyes of the two collided together, which made the man in the hat panic suddenly, avoided his sight in fear, and then quickly walked away.

This... is too abnormal. The thought of "someone watching him" was rolling in Truman's mind again. If he was just a little uneasy and uncertain just now, he was completely flustered now, and his pupils fluttered sharply , that kind of fear reflected a silver light under the sun, causing the rhythm of breathing to change.

Truman hurriedly stood up, but the first attempt was unsuccessful, and he fell down on the chair again, but Truman didn't pause, and immediately stood up again, and took a step forward, like a headless chicken After looking around, he realized that he had left his briefcase on the stone table, picked it up hastily, and walked quickly across the road.

But a gust of wind blew over, coupled with the sudden sound of brakes, everyone's heart stopped beating, and a bus almost stopped behind Truman, by a hair's breadth!
