1931 Chapter 1931

"Hugo, isn't there a way for us to realize our dreams without being attacked by those disgusting crows?" Leonardo's irritated voice sounded muffled on the other end of the phone, his frustrated voice Emotions are audible even over the phone.

"So I've been hitting the crows, haven't I?" Hugo smiled slightly, "This is the nature of this job. Standing under the spotlight and accepting all kinds of compliments, At the same time, I also accept all kinds of attacks, and the most helpless thing is to accept constant harassment."

In fact, it was only two weeks after "Titanic" was released. The next week, the film surprised the entire North American market with a sky-high increase. All the media flocked to it, and Leonardo and Kate became the focus of attention in one fell swoop. In the past two days, Kate left the publicity lineup of the "Titanic" crew, joined the "Truman Show" crew, and officially started filming, which made all the pressure pile up on Leonardo.

"Oh, God, it's all because of you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have taken this movie." Leonardo complained angrily, wishing he could greet Hugo with his fist.

Hugo curled his lips, "It's too late, you have already fallen into the trap." A gloating words made Leonardo stand in place and start grinding his teeth, but Hugo chuckled lightly, "Leo, This is just the beginning, you should be very clear."

Leonardo lowered his head helplessly, and his bulging chest collapsed like this. Of course he knows that if the box office fails badly, the media will not let him go; Intermediate values ​​works.

"Do you remember? The situation I went through after 'Independence Day' last year?" Hugo's voice stunned Leonardo, "That's what you're about to face... So, if there's a problem, you know Where can I find me?" This is Leonardo's road to superstardom, Hugo can't complete it for him, he can only give some help, I only hope that this time he can stop wasting another five years.

Leonardo let out a long breath and hung up the phone. He thought of everything that Hugo experienced last year, and he always felt that this was a good thing. Hugo was just looking for trouble for himself. But now, Leonardo really felt it, when he was still too young. As Hugo said, now is just the beginning, the movie has only been released for two weeks, and there is still a long battle to fight.

Thinking of this, Leonardo clenched his fist slightly to cheer himself up. That's how Hugo came to be, so he must be too.

After Hugo hung up the phone, Zamora had come to inform him that the next scene was ready. But Hugo did not leave. He was still a little worried about Leonardo, because he knew exactly what kind of history the "Titanic" would usher in next. It was even more glorious than "Independence Day", An even more magnificent and great historical breakthrough, even after twenty years, is still a myth in film history.

Hugo immediately dialed Rick's phone, hoping that Rick could pay attention to Leonardo's status recently, and then try to control the madness of the media as much as possible. Rick was quite puzzled by this, and Hugo could only say, "I went through a very painful period after "Independence Day" last year, and you know that Leo is going through this process now."

Even for Hugo, who had gradually reached his peak state before "Independence Day", it took a lot of work to really control the fear and irritability in his heart; let alone Leonardo, he can be regarded as one-step-from The second-line actors surpassed Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in one fell swoop, becoming the most watched top actors in the United States. All this happened too turbulently, and there were only two results: either completely lost or completely collapsed.

Rick immediately understood what Hugo meant, and he couldn't help but fell into deep thought—he really hadn't considered this issue before, Hugo also relied on himself to tide over the difficulties, and as a manager, he almost Don't think about these things. But now, it is different.

After the call was over, Hugo let out a sigh of relief, left his RV, handed the phone to Zamora, and walked towards the crew.

"Sorry, I delayed some time." Hugo politely apologized to the crew. He didn't know how long the two phone calls took, but what is certain is that the original filming progress was bound to be delayed. "Nicole, I'm sorry, I just dealt with some personal matters."

Nicole raised her eyebrows, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, "Then you'd better perform well enough in the next scene." Hugo couldn't help laughing.

It has been a month since the shooting of "The Truman Show" started, and almost every day of shooting is a new experience. Originally, this script was a one-man show by Truman alone, and the whole world revolved around him—literally, so Hugo could feel tremendous pressure every day. Even the scenes of Nicole and Alex need Hugo to push and connect. Combined with the film's comedic component, this puts an ever-increasing burden on Hugo's shoulders.

Today's scene is even more important. It can be said that it is the turning point of the whole movie and sets the tone for the second half.

Truman finally realized all the unusual things. He decided to give it a go and drove away from Seaside with Meryl. On the mainland, but was blocked because of the "nuclear leak". Those wearing protective clothing used violence to subdue him, but this time Truman chose not to believe it.

Back home, Truman and Meryl had a conversation, and this is the scene that needs to be filmed next, and all the conflicts are completely released at this moment. The whole scene is composed of multiple scenes, which is not only difficult to shoot, but also full of emotions.

Hugo is also clearly aware of this. This is the most important scene between him and Nicole, and it is a severe test for the cooperation between the two. Hugo sat on the wooden chair used as a prop, let himself relax his muscles slowly, and entered the state bit by bit.

What was Truman thinking after being subdued by violence? What new changes has he made to his previous thinking? What new ideas did he have about Meryl and Malone? That vaguely aware feeling that I was deceived by the whole world, that vaguely aware that every one of my closest people has betrayed me, that vaguely aware that I am living a big lie The feeling in it... How intricate and bitter should it be?

Truman hoped that his thinking was wrong, but he was just thinking wildly? Or do you hope that your thoughts are correct and break through all shackles to find the truth? Perhaps even Truman himself is not sure what the outcome he hopes for, and whether he has the right to "hope".

Hugo's breath lowered, and all the complicated thoughts were temporarily excluded from his brain. All the noise in the world gradually quieted down, but it seemed to become extremely loud. The sense of conflict and entanglement was in his mind surging.

"Hugo, are you ready?" Peter's voice came from far away, Hugo didn't turn his head, but just tapped his chin slightly, weakly, which made Peter realize that Hugo had entered the state, "Nicole , are you ready?" Hugo didn't hear Nicole's answering voice, but not long after, he heard the voice of Changji reporting the name of the show, and then heard a crisp "pop".

Meryl walked into the kitchen from the door with some trepidation. The doctor had just left, and now only she and Truman were left at home—of course, there were countless cameras. She was thinking about how she should communicate with Truman. On the one hand, she has never really understood Truman, this is just a job; on the other hand, she must understand Truman, because this is part of the job. This made Meryl very hesitant, she didn't even know how to speak.

Meryl walked to the side of the dressing table, gently leaned her back against the table, and stretched her hands gracefully, as if she was a model displaying products. But her expression was unavoidably complicated and heavy, and her disheveled hair revealed her embarrassment at this time. Meryl looked at Truman in front of her.

Truman sat at the dining table like this, sitting quietly, his shoulders and head drooping slightly, the vigorous vitality all over his body disappeared, as if it had become dim in an instant, even if the spotlight hit him, he could not Outline his figure, as if... as if he is disappearing from this world bit by bit. The hopelessness and sadness of despair, outlined between the lost face, weak shoulders and stiff hands, grabbed Meryl's heart fiercely, making her even more embarrassed for a while, I can't even bear to see Truman.

Meryl lowered her head slightly, with a flash of determination in her eyes, as if she was telling herself: This is just a job, "You need some help, Truman. You are not well now." Meryl raised her eyes again , looked at Truman seriously, and tried to comfort him with the most gentle tone of his own.

But Truman still sat quietly on the spot, with his hands neatly placed on his knees, as if even when he was sad, he would not forget the education he had received since he was a child. After a while, Truman lifted his chin lightly, and looked at Meryl, but there was no trace of soul in those amber eyes, as if he was a walking corpse, which made people feel uncomfortable. Moved, "Why do you want to have a baby for me?"

This unprepared question made Meryl stunned, and everyone was stunned. Truman's voice that seemed to break if touched, said in a low voice, "You can't bear me at all." This is not an interrogative sentence, It is an affirmative sentence.
