Chapter 594 594 Different Challenges

When Quentin saw Hugo and Uma appear together, his tense heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This is good news. Although he is still not sure what happened between the two, at least there is no quarrel or Fighting, this is a fortunate start.

At this time, Hugo noticed Quentin's nervousness. He was a little puzzled at first, but after thinking about it, he came to understand, but he ignored this point - Quentin never mentioned it during the discussion of cooperation. The heroine is Uma. Hugo couldn't help but smile in his heart, and deliberately gave Quentin a vicious look when others were not paying attention, so that Quentin immediately turned his eyes away as if he was okay.

But Quentin saw that Hugo was actually walking straight towards him, which made him cough again and again, and took the lead before Hugo arrived, "Hey, Beth, Beth! Take Hugo to change clothes, and also Yes, yes, and messing with the hair, and the shoot will start in thirty minutes." Then Quentin looked flatteringly at Hugo, who was less than five steps away from him, "Look, this is not us. How about the big star Hugo, are you ready to start work?"

Hugo originally just wanted to make fun of Quentin, but now seeing Quentin's nervous expression, he didn't want to break it so quickly, so Hugo patted Quentin on the shoulder and said meaningfully. "Of course, of course, you know, I'm always ready." He nodded his chin as he spoke, and glanced at Uma, who was standing beside him, out of the corner of his eye, which instantly made Quentin He withdrew his gaze and stood at attention without squinting, as if he didn't understand Hugo's suggestion at all.

Hugo was already laughing in his heart, but he still looked unwilling and followed the makeup artist who came over to make preparations.

Looking at the back of Hugo leaving, Quentin was frowning, and he couldn't directly ask Uma what happened just now. After thinking about it, Quentin called Samora over, "Hey, Samora, you Say, what happened to Hugo and Uma just now?"

"Uh..." Samora has been dealing with the crew just now. This is the first time he has served as Hugo's assistant as an actor. Although he has the guidance of Joseph, he obviously has to work hard. Therefore, Satsuma Naturally, La didn't know anything about the affair between Hugo and Uma.

At this moment, Hugo's voice came from a distance, "Samora, come and help me."

Samora was stunned, Hugo has always been self-sufficient, and rarely asked himself to help during the promotion of "Almost Famous". Is it different in the film crew? But even so, Samora smiled at Quentin, "Sorry, I don't know anything." Then she hurried up. Quentin was left alone, frowning.

"Hugo, is there anything I can help you with?" Samora ran to Hugo and asked in a low voice.

Hugo's smile at the corner of his mouth finally couldn't help but outline at this time. It was really pleasant to tease Quentin, the ruffian, "Oh, it's okay... No, coffee, give me a cup of coffee, I need a cup of coffee." Although this Shi Hugo was already awake, but he hadn't had coffee this morning, so it didn't count today.

Samora is not unusual at all, and immediately nodded to accept the task. The coffee he brought from home this morning was already cold at this time, and naturally he couldn't drink it any more. He must think of other ways. But after taking two steps back, Samora realized that he had no idea how to get coffee on set? But Samora was not worried at all, and he didn't turn his head to ask Hugo's plans. As an assistant, everything was brand new. He had to rely on himself to walk out step by step and prove that he was competent for the job. .

Hugo, on the other hand, went to change his clothes and prepare his hair. Although this is the first time to shoot a new work without the company of Joseph, this is not a big problem for Hugo, what's more, after adapting in the past month, Hugo is now very skilled.

In order to play the role of Vincent, Quentin and Hugo discussed some simple positioning. They planned to comb Hugo's hair into a classic retro 28-point oil back, and the hair oil needs to be used a little too much to make the hair appear. There is an unnatural oily sheen that complements Vincent's character itself.

Strictly speaking, Vincent is one of the funniest characters of Hugo's career -- including the previous decade -- but it's not Jim Carrey or Charlie Chaplin. , but a dry humor, but with an absurd clown feel.

Comedy, which can even be called the most difficult type of acting, has a saying in Hollywood that it is easy to make the audience cry, but it is never easy to make the audience laugh. Maybe there are many bad movies in comedy, which can't be compared with the drama, action, love and other genres, but it is undeniable that how to make the audience laugh has always been a problem. In the long history of movies, there are countless great actors of serious type. , but there are only a handful of comedians who can be called "great".

So, "Pulp Fiction" was indeed a different challenge for Hugo.

Just as Hugo and the stylist were discussing the appropriate amount of hair oil to apply - neither too little to be serious nor too much to appear deliberate, a curly-haired black man sat next to him, his head was curly. The curly hair like a dog made Hugo laugh before he could even say hello.

Hugo also knew that he was very rude, and quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm rude. Hugo-Lancaster." Hugo stretched out his right hand and expressed his friendliness.

"It doesn't matter, this hairstyle is made to make people laugh, so I'm very satisfied to see you smile. Samuel. L. Jackson." The black man in front of him also held out his palm-like right hand. Lived Hugo's friendly right hand.

Samuel L. Jackson, Hugo's partner in "Pulp Fiction" and one of the most impressive characters in "Pulp Fiction": He always likes to recite a passage of "Bible" before killing people. ", which is similar to "A Clockwork Orange" while playing a classical symphony while carrying out violence has the same purpose, which makes people stunned.

Samuel is a very interesting presence in Hollywood. In fact, the most representative black actors in Hollywood are Denzel Washington and Will Smith, but many people ignore Samuel existence, but in fact, many people will be surprised when it comes to Samuel's work.

Samuel is a golden supporting role in Hollywood movies, "Star Wars Prequel" series, "The Avengers (The. Avengers)" and related movie series adapted from Marvel Comics, "Goodfellas", "Jurassic Park" "In all the works directed by Quentin Tarantino, he can be seen, and it can even be said that he is everywhere.

And the golden supporting role has created an incredible Guinness record: he beat Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise and other box office superstars , Over the years, the more than 100 films he has acted in have accumulated more than 7.4 billion US dollars at the global box office, becoming the highest box office for actors!

Although this result has aroused doubts from some people in the industry, after all, most of Samuel appeared in supporting roles, and even some works are purely soy sauce, but they are still summed up in Samuel's personal box office; but It is undeniable that Samuel is indeed the most famous supporting actor in Hollywood, and he can always contribute enough energy in his position, and it is even more incredible to achieve such an achievement as a black actor.

Samuel's supporting role started in the early 1980s, and he has starred in a lot of works, so in terms of experience, he is much richer than Hugo, especially this kind of black humorous comedy, so he just made fun of it It can also be said that it is easy to do, "So, are you ready?"

"No, I don't think I'll ever be ready, you know, comedy is always nerve-wracking." Hugo also didn't hide his true emotions, and it was very rare to be able to learn from Samuel. thing.

"Haha, relax, just remember, relax, this is the most important thing." Samuel laughed heartily, "Actually, the easiest way to perform comedy is: either completely relaxed or completely nervous, choose a way, Enlarge it, even if it is entry."

It sounds simple, but it makes sense when you taste it carefully. In fact, comedy itself is to bring laughter to the audience, so if you think too complicated or too deep, you will lose the effect of comedy itself. Even a comedy with deep meaning like "City. Light" and "The. Great. Dictator", the thought it prompts is the reflection behind the laughter, if there is no laughter, Then the so-called comedy itself is a failure.

"Oops, then it seems that I need to brew some more. Maybe I should go to the bathroom first to get rid of the waste accumulated in my stomach, otherwise it will be difficult for me to relax while shooting." Hugo's witty self-mockery made Samuel laugh again. stand up.

There was a commotion behind him at this time, Samuel glanced behind him, and whistled, "Morning welfare is here."

Hugo turned his head in confusion, followed Samuel's line of sight, and then saw Samora arrive at the scene with a takeaway truck, and then served a cup of hot coffee to all the staff at the scene. In fact, "Pulp Fiction" has not many crew members, and after adding the actors, there are less than 70 people, so a cup of coffee per person is nothing at all, but Samora's move gave the crew a copy before filming started. good mood.

Hugo also showed a smile. Samora is really suitable for organizational work. Although Hugo didn't explain it at all, Samora knew it all by himself. He watched Samora come over with a cup of coffee and said to Hugo with a smile. , "Two packets of sugar without milk, right?"

Hugo took the coffee with a smile, "You should save yourself a cup." Then Hugo pointed to his forehead and handed over a box of tissues, motioning for Samora to wipe off his sweat.

It was only after seven o'clock in the morning, and Samora was sweating profusely, showing how hard he had been today, but Samora didn't mind smiling at all, "Don't worry, I've never had a problem with food. You won't hurt yourself."
