Chapter 593 593 Still Friends
Looking at Hugo's easy smile, Uma was a little embarrassed. She originally thought that Hugo would hate her, and she was even ready for Hugo to roar at her, but now she saw that Hugo was so calm and calm, instead. It was she who wanted to be in a mess, which made Uma feel a little uncomfortable. She tried to calm herself down. After all, this is her usual state, but... it is not so easy to do.
"Yes, I heard, you gained weight while filming 'Schindler's List'?" Uma couldn't find a topic to speak for a while, so she could only follow Hugo's words, but after speaking Only then did I realize that what I was referring to was Hugo's most brilliant record this year: "Schindler's List".
Hugo did not think as much as Uma, and nodded with a smile, "It's okay to gain weight, but when it comes to getting back in shape, it's not an easy task." About "Schindler's List" "He's already said a lot in interviews, so he doesn't plan to bring it up again and again, that's just showing off -- showing off to Uma? Hugo was not so careful.
Uma looked at Hugo, she was disappointed again, she had expected Hugo to talk about his experience working with Steven Spielberg, as if there was always a lot to talk about when two people got along Like a topic, Hugo is willing to share even a little detail with her so that she can also find a topic to continue. But... Uma forgot that their relationship is no longer in the past, and they can't go back to the past now.
Uma took a deep breath. Although she was hesitant, panicked and embarrassed, she was still Uma Thurman. Her personality was always neat and tidy. Once she knew her goal, she would actively strive for it, so now she plans to do it back. Oneself, take the initiative to attack according to the original plan.
"Hugo, you know, I'm really sorry for so many things that happened before." Uma's main purpose today was to apologize. She didn't want the "Pulp Fiction" filming process to turn into a disaster; at the same time, she also She hopes to take this opportunity to become friends with Hugo again. Although this is a very difficult goal, she is willing to work hard for it. "You know, I lost my mind and made some bad decisions and said some bad things at the same time..."
Uma raised her eyes and looked at Hugo bravely, but she saw Hugo's serious expression. Although there was no smile, there was no other expression of ridicule or rejection. She just listened carefully and nodded slightly. chin, which made Uma a little embarrassed, and the words paused for a while.
At this pause, Hugo thought Uma was finished, so he opened his mouth and said, "Oh, it doesn't matter, everything is in the past, really, let the past be in the past."
Hugo is serious, he has considered a partnership with Uma before that. He is a dedicated actor. After he gets into work, no matter who the opponent is, he needs to devote himself to it. It's as simple as that. Demi Moore was hostile to him at first, but they still got the job done.
Moreover, when Uma appeared, Hugo also realized that he had really turned a page over the past, and he was all right now, so Hugo was not worried about the next cooperation at all.
Now, Uma has taken the initiative to express friendship, and Hugo naturally doesn't mind and reciprocates friendship. Maybe they can't become good friends again, but there is no problem in working together to complete a film cooperation.
Hugo's friendliness changed color in Uma's eyes. It wasn't that Hugo's friendliness was wrong, but Hugo's friendliness made her apology look too cheap. Uma was originally worried that Hugo would have estrangement in her heart, so she had to express her apology sincerely, in order to achieve her goal, she was even fully prepared to deal with all kinds of emergencies, but now, rain Guo accepted her apology easily, and didn't seem to mind at all, which made Uma suddenly become a clown, sitting bewildered.
"This should be a good thing, isn't it?" Uma wanted to try to convince herself that she had achieved the set goal, but because the goal was achieved so quickly that Uma felt that all preparations were wasted, and a sense of emptiness invaded Here, Uma was a little overwhelmed sitting on the spot. She clearly prepared a lot of lines and wanted to say, but now, they have all become useless, which makes her feel very useless.
Hugo naturally didn't understand Uma's complicated thoughts, because for Hugo, Uma was no longer that important person. After Hugo spoke, he found that there was no response from Uma. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Uma, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Uma's face didn't have too many expressions, but the calm eyes were full of emotions. If Hugo wanted to explore, he could still see clues, but Hugo didn't want to explore, because he I don't think it's necessary.
When Uma heard Hugo's question, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she shook her head, "It's fine." This is a typical routine for dealing with guests in social situations. That smile fell in Hugo's eyes, but it was too much. After a bit of fun, they also need a relationship of social courtesy now, and there are really many things that can be changed with time.
Uma was a little distracted at this time, so she didn't notice the little playfulness at the corner of Hugo's mouth, she quickly changed the subject, "So, are you looking forward to these cooperation?" Now that Hugo has expressed his acceptance of his apology , then Uma had prepared a lot of lines before, and she had no choice but to shift the topic to "Pulp Fiction".
Partnership is the best definition of them.
Hugo raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Of course. You know, Vincent's character is very interesting. I have read the script several times, but I always feel that the performance needs to be slowly pondered."
Vincent is the character that Hugo will play in "Pulp Fiction". In fact, Vincent's character looks very ordinary, even more ordinary than Sam in "Sleepless in Seattle", and there is not too many footholds to exert force. , at least Sam still has a "widowman" identity sustenance emotional, but Vincent does not.
As previously reported by "New York Times" Almond Camby, Quentin is a director whose personal characteristics overshadow the actor himself. Among Quentin's works - currently there is only one "reservoir dog" -, The actor's room for play is very limited. Quentin's works rely more on the cold humor of the lines, the sharpness of the screen editing and the unique plot arrangement. The actor's play space is very limited.
Although on the surface, Vincent is a special character, the underworld gangster, although not the boss, but has a certain power, and at the same time is a killer, he has the common problem of men - good. Color, but not very bold... But on the whole, this can be any ordinary gangster. There is obviously not much room for Vincent in Quentin's script, so the most important thing is to see the rain If how to excavate this role, and how to present this role in a limited space.
"Maybe, I should have a good talk with Quentin, you know, it's not an easy task before filming." Hugo sighed and said that in the eyes of others, "Pulp Fiction" seems to challenge acting skills It's not big - that's true, but for Hugo, it's another breakthrough: how to combine himself and his character in a limited space, while making his character a feature director of Quentin's work. It's not an easy thing to be a part of.
If the previous "Schindler's List" gave Hugo a broad space to play, allowing him to take the sunny path and make a breakthrough in acting; then "Pulp Fiction" is more like a dark path, and Hugo must take a slanted sword. Learn different ways of acting.
This is very important for actors, because actors must know how to cooperate with the director, and at the same time know how to highlight their own advantages, correctly use their own advantages, and accurately grasp the size of their own advantages. This is an important lesson.
Uma looked at the flickering smile in Hugo's eyes, full of interest and passion, just like Hugo in her impression, when she mentioned acting and music, her amber eyes would sparkle, attracting the attention of all women. . Uma couldn't help but wanted to hold her chin and look at Hugo quietly. She could just watch Hugo and listen to him for an entire afternoon, but Uma knew that she couldn't now, because she was not allowed. .
So, Uma twitched the corners of her mouth gently, sorted out her panicked heartbeat, shifted her eyes from Hugo's charming eyes, and said in a relaxed tone, "You are still the same as before, talking about The performance is very happy." This sentence made the car silent, and Uma quickly said, "Actually, this performance is also a challenge for me, the role of Mia is really terrible."
"Hehe, Quentin thinks you are the best candidate." Hugo smiled and nodded in approval to Uma.
Uma hesitated for a moment, looked up, "Hugo," then she paused a little, seeing Hugo's questioning look, which made her throat dry, "Are we still friends?"
Hearing this sentence, Hugo's smile rose, "Yes, why not?"
It was a sunny smile, but Uma tasted a lot of different things. It seemed a little casual and a little indifferent. This made Uma's heartbeat stop instantly, and this feeling almost killed her.
But at this moment, the car door was opened, and Samora appeared, "Hugo, most of the actors are here, you should go and say hello to everyone."
"Of course, of course." Hugo stood up, then he looked at Uma, "Together?"
Uma stroked the ends of her hair to hide her embarrassment, "Okay, I'll follow you." After that, Hugo got out of the car first and stood by the door waiting for her with a smile. This reminded Uma that in the past, Hugo would always get out of the car first and open the door for her; it is still the same today, Hugo's smile is still gentle and polite, but there is no love and caring, Uma looked at Hugo's The smile and warm heartbeat were cooled by the cold wind blowing outside the door.
