2034 Chapter 2034

"Toni, you shouldn't be looking at Hugo, remember? You can't see Malcolm!" Knight spread his hands to Toni-Colette, expressing his helplessness, with a smile on the corner of his mouth It seemed helpless.

Toni couldn't help touching her forehead, and shook her head, "God, please forgive me, I don't know what I was thinking just now, I just followed Hailey's line of sight. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." , Toni couldn't help laughing, feeling that her mistake just now was really ridiculous.

Hugo, who was sitting on the sofa, looked very innocent, "Toni, how about I leave the sofa when you shoot your shots, and then sit back when I shoot Hailey's close-up?"

Toni waved her hands again and again, "No, no need at all, let me calm down, I will be fine." Then Toni lowered her head, sat cross-legged on the ground, and calmed herself down.

The scene just now was actually a trap. This was the second meeting between Malcolm and Haley, at Haley's home. In order to deceive the audience and make the audience believe that Malcolm is "alive", Knight made Lynn and Malcolm sit face to face on the single sofa, and when Cole entered the house, he saw the two people sitting face to face. Two people. This creates an illusion for the audience, as if before Cole came in, Lynn and Malcolm were communicating, and Malcolm became Cole's psychiatrist because Lynn invited him.

But in fact, neither Lynn nor Malcolm spoke when Cole entered the door, and Lynn even supported his forehead with his right hand, looking tired. Such details can be interpreted as Lynn explaining his son's situation to Malcolm, but he was very sad because he was too worried; it can also be interpreted as Lynn just sat on the sofa to rest after a tiring day of work ——She couldn't see Malcolm across the way at all.

This played an important role in paving the way for the next conversation between Cole and Malcolm-why Cole always feels so scared, why he always feels repelled, and even refuses Malcolm's help. On the surface, Cole's mental illness led to his refusal to trust Malcolm, but the real truth wasn't revealed until the finale.

Such traps abound throughout the script, trying to create an atmosphere where Malcolm is still alive, so that there seems to be "interaction" between Malcolm and others, but in fact, if you observe carefully, you can find that this interaction It's not mutual, Malcolm is often immersed in his own world, and the other party's performance is not aware of his existence at all.

However, it is difficult to shoot such a scene. There is a big living person in front of you, but you have to ignore the existence of the other person, and at the same time make the audience believe that your reaction is an interaction with Malcolm. This kind of delicate criterion not only needs to be completed through camera angles and lens editing, but also requires the performance support of the actors.

In the scene just now, Cole can see Malcolm, but Lynn cannot. During the performance, either Haley showed fear of seeing Malcolm in the air, or Toni looked at Hugo and regarded him as an invisible person. Considering that Haley is only twelve years old this year, so The important task is naturally handed over to Toni.

Unfortunately, both attempts failed. Toni's eyes always drifted towards Hugo involuntarily, causing the scene to directly break the work.

"It seems that the atmosphere at the scene is very good." A calm voice with a slight smile remembered from behind. Hugo looked back and saw Robert Iger in a suit.

Robert walked casually across from Hugo and sat down, but focused on Hayley and Toni, "David also told me yesterday that his confidence in the film's success has risen again, and now I can see why. "

"Sixth Sense" has only been launched for three days, but the overall shooting progress is very smooth, even beyond imagination, which makes Knight very happy. However, Hugo did not expect that Robert would appear on the set in Philadelphia. In the past few days, due to the existence of Hugo, the crew has always been surrounded by paparazzi, and Robert's appearance is likely to be photographed and recorded.

Hugo originally thought that the cooperation between Robert and David Vogel was carried out secretly. If Michael Eisner knew about it, his follow-up work would not be so easy to start. However, it seems that Robert doesn't care at all now, which surprised Hugo, and he couldn't help but lament his immaturity—in this kind of competition in the business field where swords and swords are invisible, he really lacks some talent.

"We are all doing our best." Hugo replied with a smile, which made Robert look away. "Are you here today to visit the team?" Hugo didn't intend to mention the fights that happened behind the scenes, and he didn't intend to ask Robert. Whether he is worried about his whereabouts being exposed by the media is not a question for him to consider.

Robert raised his eyebrows slightly, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, I came here on a special trip to visit the class." Robert's eyes didn't seem to have any abnormalities, as if he had worked hard for the elite brokerage company and DreamWorks in the past few months. The confrontation between him and him is simply non-existent, "Recently, 'The Truman Show' is really too hot, and I can't help but feel a little curious. Behave. Excuse my rudeness for coming over without saying hello."

Robert's performance is completely as a friendly friend, neither too close nor too alienated, and the appropriate emotional expression makes people feel like a spring breeze-it is no different from Hugo's previous feelings.

"No, not at all." Hugo chuckled lightly, maintaining his humble etiquette, "Any form of visit is welcome, I just hope you brought a delicious afternoon tea."

Robert also seemed to be moved by Hugo's ease, and his smile became softer, "I brought donuts and black tea today, I hope you will like it. I will accept feedback in a while, and hope that the next time I visit the class Time to be better prepared.”

Next visit... When Robert said this sentence, he didn't know if it was Hugo's illusion. He could feel that his speech speed had slowed down and his eyes were more focused, as if he was not saying "supernatural The subsequent visits of The Sixth Sense, but there will be more cooperation between them in the future, seems to imply that the "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is just the beginning, and then DreamWorks, Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company and Disney The cooperation between will continue - is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Is this Hugo's illusion?

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Hugo took up the topic with a smile, "Coffee, I personally like coffee better." He took the initiative to relax his vigilance and stated his preferences. But in fact, Hugo's preference is not a secret in Hollywood at all. Even the young volcano will take the initiative to give Hugo the best coffee beans as a gift.

But Robert didn't notice the deep meaning in the words, and showed a relaxed smile, "I will write it down in the notebook." After finishing speaking, Robert looked around and stood up, "I won't disturb your work That's it, it's good for laymen to watch the excitement from the sidelines."

Hugo thought for a while, and took the initiative to extend his right hand, "Thank you for visiting today, this made our crew a lot more lively." Hugo still expressed his friendliness. Although Robert was plotting against him at the beginning, Endeavor Elite Agency also launched a counterattack, and the final victory or loss is actually impossible to measure.

Robert shook Hugo's right hand humbly and politely, without saying any more polite words, and then pushed outside the circle of the shooting site, as if he was just an ordinary bystander.

It really is an old fox, the number of segments even exceeds that of Shirley Lansing and Barry Meyer. Robert's words are completely hidden in the needle, not only the preparation time is extremely long, but also trivial details are spread throughout the conversation. Often before reacting, Robert got involved. In the future, he will become the most successful CEO in the history of Disney, even surpassing Michael Eisner, who has controlled Disney for 20 years, and pushed Disney to the highest peak in history in just 10 years. Robert is indeed superb.

Hugo didn't like to deal with Robert, because he was stretched everywhere, and he had to make countless detours even to say a word. This feeling was really tiring. Sure enough, he is still suitable to be an artist obediently. In fact, the same is true for Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg. Although they are all scheming foxes, they are still very good at calculating interests and planning the future. Not fine enough, otherwise, in the history that Hugo is familiar with, DreamWorks will not be washed down.

The combination of Endeavor Elite Agency and DreamWorks is definitely a wise choice in this Hollywood game.

Looking back, Hugo's eyes came into contact with Robert again, Robert showed a friendly smile, Hugo also drew the corners of his mouth, nodded, and then regained his attention and devoted himself to the shooting.

After a brief episode, Toni's performance improved significantly. She was not disturbed by Hugo's presence again. Although she still made mistakes a few times because of her long lines, they were all within acceptable limits.

On the contrary, Hugo is a bit cautious, his attention is always distracted by Robert behind him, this feeling is very annoying, fortunately, in this scene, Hugo only has one back, more often it exists as a supporting role, he I don't need to perform, even if my mind wanders, it doesn't hurt. But even so, Hugo had to refocus his attention, not only because the next scene was so important, but also because his scene was part of the film itself as a background.

After another NG, Hugo let out a long breath, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, let the whole person's emotions settle down, forgetting Robert's shadowy gaze, and re-invested in the filming.
