Chapter 337 337
The golden sun slowly climbed from behind the winding mountains in the distance to the top of the mountain, and wisps of warm rays of light penetrated the thick clouds and fell on the entire crew. The haze that has been over the crew for more than a month seems to be gradually dissipating along with this gratifying sunshine.
The weather in Poland is cloudy for more than 300 days a year, which was very helpful for the production of "Schindler's List", especially Steven Spielberg's decision to use the In the case of shooting this movie in black and white quality, keeping the lighting all the time can reduce the workload of the crew. But it must be admitted that the long cloudy period seems to be lingering gloom that has been shrouded in the entire crew, making everyone feel a little uneasy. Today, the sun finally came out and sprinkled on every different face, just a smiling face.
Steven got up early in the morning and started to prepare for today's filming work. When he walked to the crew, when he saw the bright sun, the tightness at the corners of his mouth could not help but relax two points. All relaxed.
In fact, since Hugo and Steven "talked" a few days ago, although Steven's mood is still very tense, and he is still sensitive when shooting many scenes that reproduce history, it is obvious that Steven's whole spirit is relaxed. , he can regulate his emotions well and will not interrupt the shooting because of his emotional breakdown, which is a relief for the entire crew. You must know that as the helm of the crew, the director's emotions have an impact on the entire crew.
But now it has finally changed, and the efficiency of the crew's work has quietly improved.
Steven walked in the direction of the camera. When passing by the actor's makeup area, the actors raised their hands and waved as a greeting. Steven nodded in response, just as he was about to continue his steps. As he moved forward, he seemed to see something, and then he took two steps back, took a serious look, and asked loudly, "Hugo, are you drinking? The sun has just risen, and you started drinking?"
At this time, Hugo was wearing a black coat jacket, sitting on a chair, and was playing with Liam Linson in front of him, but there was indeed a short glass cup on his left hand, with brown liquid pouring in it. Obviously whisky. Since that conversation, Steven and Hugo's communication has unknowingly increased. Although Steven still does not want to greet Hugo when he is wearing a Nazi uniform, other than that, the two of them are still together. I'll have a few words.
Hugo glanced at Steven with a depressed expression, "Do you think I would?"
"I think the whole crew is envious of you." Steven retorted angrily, "I started working while drinking in the early morning. This is my dream." As a result, the surrounding staff laughed lightly. , Maybe it's the relationship of sunshine, today the crew ushered in a long-lost laughter, which is really rare.
"I told you before that for the needs of the role, I have to drink every day, which is also your agreement." Hugo said helplessly, "I am not good at drinking, and I am not keen on drinking, if it is not for work. , I don't want to suffer this sin."
"We can change." Liam, who was sitting opposite Hugo, said suddenly, causing the stylist behind him to laugh without holding back his flutter.
As we all know, alcohol can make people's reactions slow. At the same time, alcohol is also a means of recreation and venting. It can be included in the content of entertainment projects. In any workplace, drinking and working are not allowed. This is not Professional performance. For an actor's job that requires concentration, drinking on the set is even more despised by people, but obviously, Hugo blatantly started "drinking", and the staff did not have any complaints, which is indeed very strangeness.
In fact, this is the same as smoking. It is Hugo's setting for the role of Amon. On the one hand, Amon is the supreme existence in the concentration camp, so he has nothing to do all day, drunk and dreaming. He is too boring. The game of shooting Jews is also a "pleasure" under extreme boredom. At the same time, drinking is also a means for Amon to hide his humble background. It can be said to be courageous or to cultivate temperament. In short, alcohol, like cigarettes, has become one of Amon's fixed accessories.
On the other hand, it is the embodiment of the conflict after Amon's inner love for Helen. Hugo's plan is to increase the weight of Amon's drinking little by little. This is a silent manifestation of the gradual escalation of Amon's inner struggle. It may not be written in the script, and it is not obvious in the movie, but it plays an important role in Hugo's role in shaping the character. When Amon realized that he really loved Helen, his dependence on alcohol became more and more obvious, because he knew that this was an impossible love, and he couldn't show it directly. Alcohol anesthesia was the only way out. .
After Hugo told Steven what he thought, Steven didn’t hesitate much, and nodded in agreement. Although it seemed unusual for Hugo to drink and work all day, Steven was willing to believe in the rain. Dedication to work. And the truth is, when Joseph learns that Hugo drinks for the character, his jaw drops in surprise.
"Yes, I agree, but you've just woken up, and you started drinking?" Steven thought this was too unbelievable. Only an old alcoholic would start a day's trip with alcohol early in the morning. , not coffee. "Have you had breakfast yet?"
Hugo spread his hands to express his helplessness, "Of course, two eggs in the sandwich, and a glass of milk." His words were very happy after Steven's surprise, and Liam couldn't help laughing. , Hugo is very innocent, "Guys, please, I'm not an alcoholic."
Everyone ignored Hugo and looked at the wine glass in his hand: the truth was speaking.
Hugo originally wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he finally shook his head and said with a gloomy face, "You know what? You'll know when you start shooting, I'm forced to drink for work, this is not a thing Enjoyment, for me."
The expression of "everyone is drunk and I'm awake alone" made Steven laugh out too, turned around and took another step towards the camera.
The reason why Hugo endured stomach discomfort and started drinking early in the morning was naturally for acting. Hugo needs to shoot two important scenes tonight. One is a scene where he has a head-to-head conversation with Schindler, played by Liam. Schindler came to persuade Amon about killing innocent people. Dele knew that Amon liked to drink, so he deliberately got Amon drunk. In the end, the drunk Amon was successfully persuaded; in another scene, he finally couldn't hold back his love for Helen and went to live in Helen. The cellar went to see her, but it turned into a violence. After all, Amon couldn't really show his inner emotions.
The second scene is estimated to be difficult to shoot tonight. If it is shot tomorrow, then Hugo still has to get up early in the morning and start drinking.
The main reason is that Hugo knew that his alcohol intake was not good. He couldn't drink a lot of alcohol in one go, which would make his reaction slow, and it would really delay the filming progress of the crew. Therefore, Hugo can only drink gradually, so that this state of drunkenness will deepen little by little, without affecting the shooting situation during the day. At the same time, when the night scene starts to shoot, his head will also enter a state of chaos, but And being able to stay awake enough is good for shooting.
This is not a way to do it. It can be said that for the role of Amon, Hugo really devoted himself to presenting this character as realistically as possible from the inside out.
For Hugo, starting drinking early in the morning is really a torment. Compared with alcohol, he still prefers coffee to start a new day. Of course, this is just the beginning of the torment. In the next day, Hugo will hold a glass of wine at the end of each scene, just like drinking traditional Chinese medicine. .
When night fell, Hugo finally went to the bathroom to vomit once because he drank too much alcohol, but the work had to continue, otherwise Hugo's hard work all day would be wasted. So after washing his face with cold water and drinking a small half glass of whisky, Hugo went back into filming.
Steven looked at Hugo's staggering pace, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He had confirmed Hugo's status three times before and after, and Hugo had all given a positive answer, but he still had to confirm it again, "Hugo , are you sure there is no problem?"
"Of course, it's just to wait for this scene, isn't it?" Hugo tried to clear his head, because he couldn't be completely drunk, and he still had lines to memorize.
For Hugo's affirmative answer, Steven could only do his work. After making sure everyone was ready, Steven shouted "start".
Amon, Schindler, and Helen stood on the balcony. After Helen filled the wine glasses of the two men, she turned and left with two empty wine bottles. Schindler held the wine glass with his right hand holding the cigarette, and sat down on the single rattan chair, "Happy party, Amon, thank you."
Amon held a wine glass in his right hand, his shirt had three buttons unbuttoned, and leaned against the railing. He lowered his head and did not speak, but his body swayed slightly, as if a gust of wind would cause him to fall. The result was indeed the same. I saw Amon's center of gravity sat back, and the whole person fell directly to the ground. The wine glass in his right hand smashed to the ground, and he instinctively used his left hand to hold the railing, but because of the reaction It was too slow to hold back, so the whole person smashed to the ground, and the terrifying muffled sound could even be heard.
When everyone in the crew saw Hugo's embarrassed toss, many people clenched their teeth and closed their eyes. Even if Hugo didn't hurt, they all felt pain for Hugo. Steven was hesitating whether he should call "pause" to confirm Hugo's status, but seeing that Hugo did not faint completely, he still moved, he remembered the words Hugo said before shooting, " Don't pause until I ask for help." Steven hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists fiercely, made no further movement, and stood there nervously watching the changes.
