Chapter 333 333 Subtle Changes

Is Hugo worried? Of course he was worried. It's not that the other party is the famous Steven Spielberg or something, but that it's a job, Steven is Hugo's immediate boss, and Hugo, the employee, yells at the boss. Not a wise move, especially when the boss's emotions are in a state that could explode at any moment.

Hugo knows very well how important the opportunity of "Schindler's List" is, perhaps even more important than the success of the audition of "Scent of a Woman". The key, and this is not the only focus, more importantly, Hugo believes that he has learned a lot by playing the role of Amon Goss, which is a key turning point for his future acting career.

Therefore, Hugo naturally did not want to be fired.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Hugo stopped, looked back at Steven, and said frankly, "But many times the development of things is beyond our control, such as impulses." Hugo left angrily. He pouted, "Actually, I didn't plan to say that much at first, I just wanted to tell you that the whole crew needs you, but who knows..." Hugo doesn't need to say anything later, both of them have gone through everything just now, obviously It couldn't be more clear.

Steven, amused by Hugo's honesty, shook his head, "I should fire you, you know, because even Adam wouldn't dare to speak to me like that."

Hugo didn't want to know who "Adam" represented. He vaguely remembered that the current CEO or vice-chairman of Universal Pictures was named Adam. Fogelson, but no matter who this Adam was, Hollywood dared to be right now There are really only a handful of people who rant from Steven, and Hugo is definitely not among them.

"Uh... If I tell you like this, I'm too involved in the play, so I lose control of my emotions, will this make the situation better." Hugo rolled his eyes awkwardly, in a relaxed tone Speaking of. In fact, he should be nervous at this moment, but maybe he has let go completely, so he is not nervous at all.

Steven was very surprised by Hugo's answer, raised his eyebrows and said in confusion, "What if I don't buy it? Will you leave?"

Hugo thought hard about Steven's answer, then shook his head firmly, "No, I think I'll convince my Jewish friends to try to intercede with you." Hugo shrugged and looked at Steven's face full of surprise, he chuckled, "Who knows, maybe it's worth trying, maybe it will be successful."

This time, Steven really showed a smile, and his whole body relaxed. Although the stiffness and tension of his muscles could still be seen from the way he stood, Hugo was terrifying when he first walked into the room. The low pressure is slowly dissipating. Hugo knew that he succeeded, not that he succeeded in directing Steven, but that he succeeded in staying on the crew.

Steven just said that he has the ability to completely block Hugo. Hugo firmly believed that what Steven said was the truth. Compared to Tracy, Steven obviously had this ability. For a moment, Hugo thought his acting career was over. It's over, but now it looks like it's not the end here.

"So, your performance has been really good recently, and it has shocked each of us." Steven changed the subject. Although there was no smile on his face, his mentality returned to calm. The whole eyebrows, the corners of the mouth and the shoulders were completely Relaxed, even a little tired. "I told Robin about your performance yesterday, and he was not surprised at all, because you have such strength."

Facing Steven's praise, Hugo did not respond directly, but looked at Steven with a puzzled expression. This was the first time that Steven praised Hugo after Hugo entered the crew. No matter how wonderful Hugo's performance was, Steven didn't want to make eye contact with Hugo. Therefore, after the quarrel just now, Steven suddenly began to praise Hugo, which surprised Hugo.

Steven looked at Hugo's expression, and the corner of his mouth that was covered by the beard drew an arc, "I mean it. I'm starting to worry now that Liam was completely suppressed by you when he played opposite you. How to do."

Hugo couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but being able to get the director's sincere praise was also the most direct affirmation of Hugo's work, and it made Hugo feel lighter, "I thought this was before 'I'm going to fire you'. That kind of compliment, you know, so I'm waiting for a 'but...'."

Steven was amused by Hugo's little humor, which made the corners of his mouth rise easily, which made him feel a lot better, "I won't fire you, the role of Amon, you won it, and so did you. The most suitable." Steven was once hesitant because he gave up the audition of Ralph Fiennes, and he still could not be completely assured of Hugo's strength, but now, Hugo obviously used His actual performance proved himself.

"Huh..." Hugo deliberately took a sigh of relief, then nodded slightly, "Then I think I can say 'thank you' now." Although Hugo maintained his usual humility, he was also Gradually cultivate your self-confidence as an actor and learn to accept praise from others, which is a very important self-recognition.

Steven finally understood why his old friend Robin wanted Hugo to talk to him. Hugo's sunny and optimistic temperament really made it easy to relax, which reminded Steven of the time when he was in Green- The situation when he met Hugo for the first time at Hill's request. Recently, Hugo's gloomy, evil, and unruly aura was so strong that people almost forgot the original Hugo. Today, such Hugo is once again. Appeared.

Steven knew that it seemed that Hugo was too deeply involved in the play, and the torment he endured was not inferior to himself. ?"

Hugo curled his lips, "I'm still learning, but I know that this is a part that actors must bear. It's like letting an actor play an autistic patient or a serial killer, the kind of psychological pressure an actor must master. How? Grasping this scale and welcoming all this with a strong heart is also a required course for actors. Otherwise, the FBI would never want to see any murderous and violent movies appear.”

What Hugo didn't say was that the shooting environment and process of "Schindler's List" were too special. The entire crew was filming at the scene of the Holocaust that year, and many of the cast members used were Jewish. Survivors, this authentic reenactment atmosphere makes it easy for people to lose the distinction between reality and movies. Therefore, Steven had an emotional breakdown, the survivors had an emotional breakdown, Hugo also had an emotional breakdown, including Ben Kingsley, Liam Lynson and others also had emotional outbursts.

Steven knew that Hugo was enlightening himself, but he also realized that he still cared too little for the actors. Although he still couldn't be nice to the German actors and the actors in Nazi uniforms, at least, He should know these things, it's his job as a director. At the same time, this is also the consequence that he had to bear when he decided to shoot the film in this authentic way.

Steven is deeply aware that the weight of the film is heavier and deeper than he imagined, and his fragility and collapse as the helm is the least desirable. Thinking of it this way, Hugo's outbreak just now is logical.

"Hugo, I told you not, I think this movie will definitely fail." The curvature of the corners of Steven's mouth calmed down, and he said in a heavy voice.

Hugo nodded, "This is the second time." Steven said during the audition.

"So I didn't ask for more investment, because I don't want Universal to lose too much money, at least they are willing to invest in this work." Steven took a deep breath and whispered, "But I still want to make this movie. Filming was done just to tell such a story and let people know about it."

Steven recalled his first work when he was twelve, a short video condemning the Nazis. It was shoddy, but it was the reason he fell in love with the movie. Over the years, obsessed with shooting high-cost and large-scale productions, Steven has been reminiscing about his childhood dreams, such as "Alien E.T", such as "Jaws", such as "Jurassic Park" ', but he forgot his reason for starting the film in the first place.

And this time, "Schindler's List" awakened his memory, just to tell a good story, just to express the most important emotion in his life. That's all.

Hugo watched Steven immersed in his memories, and did not interrupt, just whispered, "Many times, dreams are not for success, but for chasing it, realizing it, success and failure. It doesn't matter, the process of chasing is." Many times people pay too much attention to the results and ignore the process of hard work. It's like when life comes to an end, when you look back on your life, you should see the highlights of those years, not yourself. The fact that the end is about to be reached is the process, not the result, that is precious. Ten years of underground rock career, this may be the most dazzling memory of Hugo's life, and it will never fade.

Breathing out a long breath, Hugo felt that Steven would not come to his senses in a short time, so he turned around again and walked towards the door lightly.

However, Hugo's footsteps had just reached the porch when he heard Steven's voice ringing again, "Only this time."

Hugo couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then he reacted. Steven was saying: yelling at him, imposing accusations, this is the only time. Hugo chuckled lightly, but replied in his heart, "I know there is only one chance." But without making any sound, he continued to walk, leaving this quiet environment to Steven alone.
