Chapter 499 499 Rumors Suddenly Started

"Schindler's List" has handed over an incredible answer since its release. The unanimous praise has made Steven Spielberg the most brilliant page since he became the director, and it has been single for two consecutive weeks. The box office blowout also proved that audiences love the movie.

This also makes "Schindler's List" the biggest topic in the entire North American territory in November, and any bells and whistles can become the focus of attention.

The National Enquirer broke the news in its Nov. 28 issue, "Lancaster was so addicted to alcohol during filming that he was addicted to alcohol all day, and had to use Whiskey refreshes the mind, and wine is always in hand during breaks.

According to the staff of the crew, Lancaster could not shoot without drinking, but when he was drunk, he would start to rage at the staff, and even kicked and punched. An anonymous extra said that during the filming of a scene in which Goss insulted Jews, Lancaster actually had a physical conflict with the actor because of drinking too much. The verbal conflict was far beyond expectations. This sparked a violent confrontation on the set, with Kingsley nearly throwing his fist into Lancaster's face.

Under such circumstances, Lancaster became the biggest time bomb for the crew. The reason why Spielberg continues to use Lancaster is because of Lancaster's excellent performance, and his wonderful interpretation has won Spielberg's trust; but for the crew, Lancaster is a nightmare.

According to incomplete statistics, Lancaster drank more than thirteen liters - or nearly thirty pounds - during the filming of 'Schindler's List'. "

When this piece of news from the National Enquirer came out, the whole of Los Angeles and even the entire movie world was rocked. "Schindler's List" has always been the focus, and Hugo has reached a new peak in his actor career by relying on his realistic and fearful acting skills, but now such terrible negative news has been released. This is definitely the whole eleven. The hottest news of the month.

As soon as the newspaper came out, it immediately became the focus of discussion among major media, and all relevant personnel of the "Schindler's List" crew became the object of pursuit. If what the National Enquirer says is true, it means drinking and smoking two years ago. The Hugo who was poisonous, racing and fighting has returned to people's sight again. Does this mean that Hugo's acting career, which has just climbed to a whole new level, is about to be stranded again?

More importantly, does hiding behind the negative news about alcoholism on set mean that big-name rumors about Hugo are on the rise again? You must know that the actor was drinking heavily during the filming process, which is a manifestation of irresponsibility to the entire crew. Almost no producer and director would like such an actor. Because this not only delays the filming progress of the crew, but also destroys the harmony within the crew, which is a performance without any professional ethics.

If this is confirmed, then even if Hugo's acting talent is high, I am afraid that the production company will think twice when it comes to him again. After all, although Hugo is rising strongly, it has not yet reached the point of being indispensable and hot, and the rumors of alcoholism will make Hugo's rise suffer a serious blow.

Under such background conditions, this news from the "National Enquirer" set off a sensation in the entire entertainment press.

For a time, even the irrelevant surrounding personnel of the "Schindler's List" crew will be surrounded by reporters, hoping to find the truth as soon as possible. This news is also the first negative news since the release of "Schindler's List", and it is so heavy and explosive, just as the crew is in an intensive publicity period, which also allows the media to have a face-to-face conversation with the parties.

On the third day of the newspaper's publication, Hugo was directly confronted by this sharp-edged blurb when he was recording CBS's late-night talk show "Late. Show. With. David. Letterman" in New York. The top host of the show confronted him, "Hugo, are you drinking?"

"Yes, of course." Hugo sat in the studio with the three leading actors Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley to record this late-night talk show with amazing ratings. When Hugo arrived in New York yesterday, he Knowing this news from the propaganda sent by Universal Pictures, I am naturally prepared.

"Then do you drink a lot? Do you like to drink?" David's question sounded simple and ordinary, but his unbright eyes kept staring at Hugo, the kind of ridicule with aggressive oppression Feeling, coming.

Hugo is no longer the fledgling who was still in a hurry to respond to interviews a year ago. After countless interviews, Hugo's good eloquence in private has gradually revealed his edge, "No, I don't like drinking, In fact, I'm a terrible drinker and it always puts me in a very difficult situation every time I hang out with friends."

"Why?" David looked at Hugo with interest.

"You know, when everyone was happily revelling, I hid in the bathroom and vomited, which was too disappointing." Hugo's rant made everyone laugh.

David shook his head, "No, if you don't have time to go to the bathroom, I think I can add to the fun." This kind of dark humor made Liam and Ben laugh. David didn't give Hugo more time to react, and immediately asked, "So, those rumors about your drinking on the set these two days are all fake?"

Hugo looked back at Liam and Ben, then laughed, "No, this rumor is actually true." Liam and Ben were very helpless when they saw the unnerved smile on Hugo's face. , Liam knew that everyone had misunderstood, and quickly stood up and clarified, "This is the way it is."

David saw the easy smile on Hugo's face, there was no guilt or nervousness at all, he knew that there must be an insider behind the alcoholism, so he turned his attention to Liam and made an appearance of listening .

"The character of Goss is accompanied by alcohol all day long in the story, and he is half-drunk many times, and then acts according to his own temperament. In order to play this role well, Hugo also wants to present this role realistically. The essence of the film, he did drink before filming, but he forced himself to drink." Liam explained, "The other actors in our crew watched Hugo drink himself every day, and we all suffered for him because it was really uncomfortable. And he has to insist on giving a wonderful performance while drinking, which is even more rare, and we all admire it very much."

"So, you were forced?" David looked at Hugo unexpectedly.

Hugo chuckled lightly, "No, it can't be said to be forced. It's just that I have discussed this character and feel that drinking can bring out the essence of the character most truly, so I force myself to drink. To be precise, this is I volunteer."

"So, isn't it true that you had a conflict with the crew after drinking too much?" David asked for confirmation, but Hugo didn't say anything, but shrugged and looked at Liam and Ben, Ben laughed. He shook his head, "No, it's not true." David just looked at Ben, "So, they said that you and Hugo were about to fight, isn't that true?"

"Oh, God, this is so ridiculous." Ben directly shook his head and denied, "The crew did have some conflicts, but some unpleasantness happened because some local Nazi supporters insulted the Jewish actors in our crew. But there was no conflict between me and Hugo. On the contrary, I actually had a good time with Hugo, and Hugo's performance was so wonderful, which gave me a lot of inspiration for the performance when I was watching it or performing in person. "

Ben stretched his hand over Liam, who was sitting in the middle, and pointed at Hugo, "I really admire this young man. I am impressed by his dedication to acting and his performance in the crew." Then Ben looked serious. The expression recalled, "I remember a scene where Hugo and Liam were opposite each other, and Hugo's character was in a drunken state, but it had a very rich and complex performance. The two of them stood beside him, watching Hugo frowning and sitting there drinking. Everyone else's drinking was a pleasure, but his drinking was a torture, as if it was boiled borscht. , but even so, he still reads the script while drinking, and his professionalism is really admirable."

"Oh, Ben, you're making me shy, should I be humble, or should I be proud?" Hugo interjected, causing all the audience to laugh.

Liam took over the conversation with a grin, "I think you should be proud. When Hugo was speaking at the end of the scene, the strong smell of alcohol came directly to my face, which made me I couldn't help frowning. But Hugo's performance was so good, he seemed to have a kind of soul-defying energy, which made me fully immerse in the performance. But after the filming was over, I saw Hugo's whole person He fell softly to the ground. As an actor in his opponent's play, my feelings are really deep."

"Guys, guys... Saying too much is like fake." Hugo said quickly, and put his finger on his lips and made a "shush" gesture, which made the laughter at the scene directly out of control. broke out.

David also looked at Hugo's performance, and couldn't help but glance at the young man, "Listen to what you said, it seems that I must go into the cinema to watch this movie once this week, otherwise I will always feel that I am an outsider. , that's not a good thing."

"That's the best, I think our task for today is complete." Hugo's casual remark made the whole studio laugh again.
