Chapter 41 041 No State

The days that followed were calm, and nothing happened to the encounter with Tracy that night, at least nothing that could affect the crew of "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman". Instead, Nicholas's crew visit posted in the Los Angeles Times sparked some discussion.

In this report, Nicholas slightly enlarged Hugo's evaluation of the Golden Raspberry Award, believing that Hugo was "fighting" for the Golden Raspberry Award. Nicholas's way of writing the concept of stealing easily aroused heated discussions in major media, and made the sales of the "Los Angeles Times" show a gratifying atmosphere, but it made everyone point the finger at Hugo again.

In fact, strictly speaking, Nicholas expressed a lot of admiration for Hugo in the report this time, just to create a topic, which brought the focus. But this topic is very sensitive in the current atmosphere in 1992 - in other words, when the Golden Raspberry Award has not been fully recognized by the public, academics don't want to see the "worst actor" praised as a model.

Therefore, the topic of discussion this time is obviously divided into two groups. One group supports Hugo's point of view. They believe that the Golden Raspberry Award is for entertaining the public, and there is no need to be too serious. Further, it includes the Golden Globe Awards, Oscars, etc. It is also one of the entertainment festivals, after all, this is the entertainment industry; the other faction thinks that Hugo blurs the focus, and the Golden Raspberry Awards entertain the public by selecting the worst works every year, so the focus of "worst" cannot be used. Ignore it, the last winner is the worst. This cannot be ignored because of its entertainment properties, just like even if the Oscar is an entertainment festival, people will not deny its authority. This is a truth.

Regardless of whether Nicholas was well-meaning or malicious, there was no doubt that Hugo was on fire again. In addition, the attention received by "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" has also skyrocketed. The crew was very happy about it. Martin also praised Hugo once, which made Hugo a bit dumbfounded.

The filming process of "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman" went very smoothly, and the scene in New York soon came to an end. This scene was the most explosive scene in the whole film, and it was also the most difficult scene in the New York shooting scene. .

After Charlie and Lieutenant Colonel Slade arrived in New York, Charlie, who was restless because of the school, was anxious to go back. On the one hand, he also began to notice that something was wrong with Lieutenant Colonel, and then Charlie discovered the fact that Lieutenant Colonel planned to commit suicide. It turned out that the lieutenant colonel thought that his life had no meaning, so he planned to squander all his savings, meet his own brother, and finally commit suicide. This made Charlie panic, but he couldn't convince the lieutenant colonel to change his mind, so he could only find a way to make the lieutenant colonel happy.

This scene is the scene where the lieutenant colonel decides to commit suicide. He removes Charlie from the hotel suite, puts on his military uniform, and prepares to commit suicide by swallowing a gun. But when Charlie walked to the hotel lobby, he noticed the lieutenant colonel's intention and went back. Charlie tried to persuade the lieutenant colonel to hand over the pistol to himself, but the stubborn lieutenant colonel was unwilling and even threatened to kill Charlie, and then Suicide again. In desperation, Charlie could only risk his strength and try to steal the lieutenant colonel's gun, which caused a physical conflict between the two, and all emotions reached their peak at this moment.

In the first half of the persuasive scene, Hugo and Al took a whole morning to complete the filming; but the filming of this large scene of physical conflict and emotional release encountered difficulties, and Hugo was unable to enter the state for a long time. At this time, the gap between Hugo and Al became apparent.

If Hugo's opponent is an actor of the same level at this time, then Hugo's performance will not have much problem, but unfortunately, the two people can't burst out enough sparks to support the excitement of this scene. Now, Al's performance is obviously several grades higher than that of Hugo. Al is in control of the initiative throughout the scene, and the weakness of Hugo's performance is immediately apparent. The lack of depth and depth of performance is full of Alna In front of the explosive performance, it seems pale and powerless, which makes this climax scene suddenly dull.

"Ka!" Martin's originally energetic voice had now become extremely frustrated, and he could even hear the anxiety hidden under his expression.

Facing Martin's shouting, Hugo looked blank. Apart from saying "sorry", he didn't know what he should do. Even he could feel that the performance just now was really bad. It is estimated that he would feel ashamed when he walked behind the monitor and watched.

"Hugo, you have to release all the emotions in your heart, you know? The whole person just exploded like a bomb." Not only Martin, but Al was also anxious, he directly explained to Hugo This scene, which had been shot seven times before this, was twice because of Al's own problems, and five times when Hugo's performance was unsatisfactory.

The most important thing is that Hugo's mistake was not due to any unexpected factors, but simply because the performance was not in place, and he did not enter the role at all. This is the most troublesome place.

Martin stood beside him with a bitter smile, he had already told Hugo that his mouth was dry, but it still didn't seem to make much progress, "Hugo, you have to cry, not tears of pain or sadness, but emotions A kind of catharsis." Martin repeated again, in fact, he was a very peaceful and friendly person, but at this moment, Martin couldn't help but get impatient.

In fact, Martin believes in Hugo's strength. Apart from his excellent audition, Martin also knows that Hugo's potential is very rich during this period of filming, but now Hugo does not know how to present it. , This is the biggest problem. I always feel that Hugo is still a little bit lacking. It is not talent or hard work. It should be said that it is a little opportunity, or a little inspiration. That's what frustrates Martin the most: he doesn't have time to wait for Hugo to slowly develop his inspiration.

Facing the mad bombardment of Al and Martin, Hugo himself was helpless. When the director called "card" three times in a row, Hugo felt guilty, and the more he paused and shouted, the more nervous he became. will accumulate more. At this time, Hugo is really understanding the hard work of the actor's profession.

It is not difficult to become a vase, and it is not so hard to become a qualified actor, but it is a long and difficult process to become an excellent actor. Hugo is now walking on this thorny road On, this is only the first level, and Hugo is already sweating profusely.

At this time, the staff on the scene showed more or less absent-minded expressions. For them, the schedule of filming was put on hold, which meant that the working hours had to be extended today. This is not good news, and no one wants to do this. But everyone is an old fritter who has been rolling around in the crew all the year round. It's no surprise to see this kind of thing, but when the object is Hugo, it becomes even more ridiculous.

Who is Hugo? It must have been mentioned recently that he will definitely be crowned with the title of "Worst Actor in the Golden Raspberry Award", and even add a joke and ridicule "Grateful" as a prefix to express disdain for Hugo. Such an actor, who has no acting skills and no box office appeal, is not only not welcome by the production company, but also by the film crew: because it will seriously affect the quality of the film - and the progress of the filming.

When Hugo entered the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", as the media said: no one was optimistic about his prospects. Because Hugo has let people down three times in a row, this fourth time seems to be not far away, not to mention, this time Hugo has to face Al Pacino, Al's excellent acting will only make Hugo appear Even more embarrassed.

Now the result of this scene also proves that the media's concerns are correct. Hugo is indeed vulnerable in front of Al, which seriously affects the shooting progress. Although this scene has only been filmed seven times, it wasted three whole times. For hours, the crew had barely made any progress all morning, just stayed in the luxury suite at the Waldorf Astoria, repeatedly watching Hugo disintegrate in front of the cameras.

In fact, the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" doesn't have any rejection of Hugo, because Hugo is not the male lead, but Al is. As a supporting role, Hugo's influence on the crew is very weak, and the crew is not necessarily dissatisfied with Hugo, at most it's just gossip. What's more, after entering the crew, Hugo's optimism and cheerfulness quickly became one with the crew, which also made Hugo's days in the crew very good.

But today is different. Hugo is not an ordinary person, but an actor at work, but he did not do his job well, because his own mistakes affected the progress of the entire crew. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that there will be some criticisms between friends, not to mention that they are already working partners of the cooperative relationship.

The staff couldn't help but think of Hugo's previous bad deeds, ruining three movies successively, and making a big fool at the Golden Raspberry Awards, "Oh, it seems that this bad performance is not a coincidence."

"It's good to get used to it. It is estimated that I will spend the whole day here today."

"He's good as an ordinary person, but as an actor..."

"God knows how Martin and Allen chose him. Is there any inside story?"

"Aw, it's really annoying to be stuck in the room all the time watching him make stupid mistakes there...I think Martin will have to train for a while, I'm going out for a cigarette.

"I'm going too", "and me"...

The voices of the staff drifted into Hugo's ears intermittently. Although the staff did not scold him, there was no doubt about his ability to work and his acting skills. However, Hugo didn't have the heart to react to the staff's words at this moment, because Al and Martin in front of him were completely hated for iron and steel. If he was on the right path and the scene was successfully filmed, Hugo had to take his attention back and focus on figuring out the scene.

However, he really has no state... his brain is almost blank.
