2041 Chapter 2041

"Ahem..." Hugo closed his mouth compulsively, but his throat was still itchy. After trying to suppress it twice, he finally coughed, "Sorry." Hugo hurriedly said to the staff at the scene Apologize.

"Hugo, are you okay?" Knight looked at Hugo worriedly, "Do you need to take a break?" Seeing Zamora stepping forward and handing over a cup of hot water, Knight said quickly, "Drink a sip of water first." Knight strode up to Hugo and said anxiously, "Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor? Do you need some medicine?"

Knight's nervous mood was like that of an old lady, which made Hugo laugh. However, Hugo's current state is indeed not good. He twitched the corners of his mouth, but after all, he didn't laugh, but just waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night."

But these words still did not reassure Knight, because Hugo's situation today is really disturbing. It has been nearly three hours since I entered the crew and started working, but Hugo has not fully entered the performance state, and has been in NG all the time. Although Hugo can always give a wonderful performance in the end, it is obvious that Hugo has some Restless, he needs more time to settle and brew, and there are more problems in the shooting process.

In the past, Hugo didn't know how to NG, but today Hugo's NG rate has obviously doubled, or even doubled. Not to mention that worrisome cough.

Knight had to be nervous, not because Hugo is the biggest actor in the whole crew, but because Hugo has injected soul into the role of Malcolm with his own performance since the filming of "The Sixth Sense". That trembling that goes deep into the bone marrow is exactly what Knight has been pursuing but has no clear idea. This made Knight concentrate almost all his thoughts on Hugo, believing that Hugo can make the whole work shine infinitely.

Hugo is really feeling unwell now, he didn't lie - he did not sleep well last night, he tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep, and after falling asleep, he struggled all the time, not only woke up twice in the middle of the night, but also had nightmares all the time, The whole night was restless. After waking up in the morning, he caught a cold. Although it was not serious, his condition had not reached its peak.

But Hugo knew that his biggest problem was not his physical factors, but his inability to concentrate, and his whole attention was always a little lax. He knew the reason, but there was no way to solve it. The only thing he can do is to calm himself down as much as possible and devote himself to the role.

But judging from the work efficiency so far today, the results have been minimal.

"Hugo, let me make some lemon and honey water for you." Zamora looked at Hugo worriedly. In fact, Hugo's body has not had any problems in the past two years, the main reason is that Hugo has always insisted on Exercise, but Zamora will not forget that Hugo's body was basically poisoned before. Once the product is emptied, once you really get sick, it may be serious.

Hugo originally wanted a cup of coffee, but after thinking about it, he nodded, "Okay."

Pouring the whole glass of warm water down his throat in one breath, Hugo once again said "Sorry, because I affected the work progress" to Knight and the staff, and then looked at the hospital bed in front of him. Haili on the bed showed an apologetic smile, "It seems that my performance today was too bad, I'm sorry."

This scene was filmed when Cole opened up to Malcolm for the first time, saying the famous line in the history of American movies, "I can see dead people (I. See. Dead. People)".

Cole's fear is fully displayed in front of Malcolm, while Malcolm's sadness, helplessness, and shock are all deeply hidden. More importantly, even if Malcolm doesn't believe Cole and thinks This is just Cole's fantasy, but he can't show it, because he has to win Cole's trust, and approach Cole cautiously step by step, hoping to really help Cole solve the problem. Therefore, Malcolm's state at this time has become the core of the whole scene-he is the medium that guides the audience closer to the truth.

But it is a pity that Hugo performed very badly just now. He forgot his lines continuously when speaking, and seemed a little absent-minded. After four consecutive NG interruptions, the fifth time he was forced to interrupt because of his cough. Such an unprofessional performance is very rare even in the filming stage of "Scent of a Woman", which is a kind of delay for the entire crew, so Hugo has repeatedly expressed his apology.

Hailey lay obediently on the hospital bed. She walked up, showing a big smile, and shook her head, "It's okay." There was still some expectation in those eyes.

Compared with Hugo, who usually performs wonderfully, Haili actually hopes to see Hugo today, not because he wants to delay the shooting, but because even Hugo who is in poor condition can still see him during the performance The control and strength of the game are more traceable than usual, and you can even see the whole process of Hugo carving the character. This is a rare situation for an actor.

Leonardo agrees 100% with Haley's idea.

Hugo leaned back on the back of the chair, "Give me five minutes, Nate?" After seeing Nate nodding impatiently, Hugo slowly closed his eyes to let his emotions settle down.

But what was easy to do in the past has become extremely difficult today. It seems that there are a thousand flashing lights flashing continuously in my mind. There is no way to calm down, and even the chaotic thoughts cannot be clearly distinguished , just getting more and more confusing. This feeling is really too bad.

Hugo has also been rolling in the circle for so many years now, and has dealt with various situations, but this is the first time in such a situation, and it can almost be said that he is completely unable to fully devote himself to the state. He also knows that performance requires state, and the state of an actor is ups and downs. Only old actors like Judi Dench, Meryl Streep, and Katharine Hepburn can retract Freedom, even when he is not in good condition, he still dedicates a wonderful performance. Therefore, this is bound to be a problem that Hugo will face, and there is no other way but to face the difficulties.

Taking a deep breath, and then taking a deep breath again, Hugo tried his best to let himself escape into the darkness, "Hugo, are you okay?" Nate's voice came timidly, and it was the first time that Hugo felt that five minutes was so short, as if He had just closed his eyes when the time had come.

But Hugo still opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and nodded to Knight.

"They're out of gas?" Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, dragged his chair and sat beside Haili, and started to perform the three lines before the end of the scene just now, mainly for the convenience of post-editing. Hugo smiled softly, "That's good, because they are driving! So..."

"Tell me why you are sad?" Cole gripped his quilt tightly, as if his body was shivering under the quilt, waiting for his big watery eyes to look at Malcolm in front of him.

Hugo couldn't help being stunned, as if his spirit had begun to leave the set, but only for a moment, his thoughts drifted back, and asked in a soft tone, "Do you think I'm sad?" He was a little embarrassed After sorting out the confusion in his expression, as if he wanted to hide his emotions, his eyelids drooped for an instant, then he raised his eyes again and looked at Cole in front of him.

Cole nodded slightly. Hugo hesitated a little. He pursed his lips, as if he was a little afraid to ask this question, "Why do you think so?" His eyes still stayed on Cole, but his pupils were He began to move slightly, revealing his inner self-confidence and uncertainty.

"Your eyes told me." Cole's immature tone was filled with a touch of sadness, which made Hugo completely stunned.

The thoughts in his mind surged in an instant, and the countless confusions made his tongue bitter. He couldn't help lowering his eyes again, trying to hide his true thoughts deep in his heart, refusing to be seen through by the little boy in front of him. But he could feel the boy's motionless eyes always resting on his face.

"I shouldn't talk about this." Hugo's almost breathy voice sounded softly, as if he was muttering to himself, or talking to the air.

Raising his eyes again, Hugo saw Cole's bright eyes. At this time, the eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, a little timid, a little scared, and a little disappointed. He turned his head and avoided Hugo's gaze tilted his head to the other side. But his brows were slightly frowned, as if there was a lingering heaviness in his heart.

This kind of heaviness dragged Hugo into the abyss at once, and the boundless darkness made him struggle hard. He tried to break free from the shackles and run towards the light again, but the more he struggled, the more painful he became. This made it almost impossible for Hugo to hide his inner emotions, so he couldn't help but quietly closed his eyes.

When Knight saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. This situation is not good. Do we have to NG again? Although the overall aura of Hugo's scene just now was a little weak, but the kind of helpless, sad and weak atmosphere coincided with Malcolm's. In the scene with Hailey, there was a strange The chemical reaction-it seems that the rhythm of the two people missed each other by a quarter of a beat, which is not harmonious, but it creates a different flavor. This is really intriguing-is it good or bad?

Noticing Knight's body leaning forward slightly, the muscles of the staff around him tensed up, and they were all ready to go, but Knight carefully looked at Hugo's delicate expression on the monitor, and bit him hard. With the tip of his tongue, he let himself swallow the sound of "card" in a daze.

The chaotic thoughts in Hugo's head reached the extreme, almost making him think that his head would explode in the next second, a sullen breath had already risen to his throat, and there was a faint struggle and pain written between his brows, although it was not obvious, but it was It looked very heavy, expressing the extremely tense emotions suppressed and full.

And then... Malcolm opened his eyes.
