Chapter 598: 598

After the reporter interview session was over, the crew started running quickly, and everyone was ready to start shooting the first scene.

Samora didn't react at first, but he saw Hugo, Samuel and others all walking towards the camera position, and the drama manager Stacey Cher gave him a look, Samora immediately understood He came over, took the script and ran in the direction of Hugo, "Hugo, the next scene is filming the content of your collaboration with Samuel, and I marked it with an orange highlighter."

Hugo took the script and looked at it, and it was very conspicuous. He smiled and looked at Samora, "You don't have to mark my script so carefully, just tell me which scene it is, I will read and be familiar with it myself. "Samora is on the first day of work today, and the clockwork is so tight that he can clearly feel that he is trying to get into the role, but the fact is that Samora has done a great job, far exceeding Hugo's expectations. .

When Samora heard Hugo say this, he nodded with a smile, "Is there anything I need to do next?"

"No, you can rest." Hugo gave Samora a positive look, "You've worked hard all morning, let's relax first."

Samora did not breathe a sigh of relief immediately, but asked earnestly, "Hugo, it shouldn't matter if I'm standing nearby watching the filming?"

"If you don't feel bored..." Hugo shrugged. When he was filming, Joseph seemed to stay beside him. "I thought you were only interested in bands."

"That's right, but it seems that the crew still has a lot to learn, so I'm willing to get in touch with a little more." Samora's personality is very hearty, even after a busy morning, she still wears a simple smile, which makes Hugo unable to help laughed.

When Hugo started to sit down and read the script, Samora stood silently beside him--trying not to let himself get in the way of the others' work, and then he saw the slack crew suddenly take off, everyone. Walking with wind, he picked up the entire speed. In less than a quarter of an hour, Stacey came over and whispered to Samora, "Everything is ready, where's Hugo?"

How did Samora know that he looked at Hugo who was reading the script seriously, and didn't know whether to interrupt Hugo directly or wait a little longer. Joseph had never explained this kind of thing, and Samora stood there a little panicked. Well, after all, I still have no experience.

Fortunately, Hugo has already shot a few scenes, and his experience is in place. He took the initiative to raise his head, looked around, and then saw Stacey and said with a smile, "Three minutes." Stacey immediately ordered He nodded and was ready to explain to the staff - shooting started three minutes later, Hugo looked at Samora, "When this happens, you remind me, I will give you time, and then let the production manager and the director carry out the process. Coordination. I'm not ready, I'll tell you directly."

Samora nodded and wrote it down. Hugo didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and continued to recite the script.

One of the biggest features of Quentin's works is the narcissism. He and Woody Allen are famous Hollywood narcissistic directors, and the lines of their works are long-winded but they are all distinctive. These narcissism is what they injected into the movie. The essence of the part, so the actor should not only recite the lines fluently, but also understand the meaning and present it in the way the director wants.

Three minutes passed in a blink of an eye, but Hugo was a little nervous. For the past six months, Hugo had been completely isolated from his acting skills. Now that he is back in acting mode, Hugo feels that this is not an easy task. , and the challenge today is black comedy, which makes things even more difficult.

Hugo stood up and jumped a few steps in place, adjusted his breathing, and then walked towards Stacey with the script in hand. At this time, Stacey was standing next to a retro sedan. The sedan was placed on a trailer. The engine has started and is fully ready to start shooting at any time. After seeing Hugo and Samuel meet, Stacey briefly explained the direction of Quentin's shots, and then let the two get into the car.

The difficulty of filming the opening scene today is very low. It is a dialogue between Vincent played by Hugo and Jules played by Samuel sitting in the car. The scene is about two minutes before and after. The shooting is not difficult, and the effect depends on on the actor's performance.

The two-minute dialogue is actually not closely related to the plot, but it is a scene that establishes the dark humor of the film. It is similar to the dialogue in the restaurant at the beginning of the "Reservoir Dogs" movie. outline. However, since the characters in Quentin's works are limited in scope, that is to say, the characters' personalities are not too rich, so the opening scene can basically be said to be the keynote of the character's character. This also means that, although simple, its importance cannot be ignored.

After sitting in the passenger seat, Hugo and Samuel rehearsed the script first. This was not only for the rehearsal, but also for the actors to find their status. However, Hugo still felt that he did not grasp Vincent's performance accurately enough. , so he greeted Quentin, "Quentin, in the role of Vincent, do you want me to relax or be more restrained?"

Hugo is now an experienced actor. He knows that communication with the director is a very important part, and the role of Vincent is different from Hugo's previous work. Hugo does not have a focus to exert his strength, so He needs to have more understanding of his own.

Quentin is big, "I'll give you enough room to play, you show your own understanding, and then we look at the effect on the screen, and then discuss, how about it?" "Pulp Fiction" is also Quentin's first In the second work, his understanding of performance is naturally not as profound as that of professional actors such as Hugo and Samuel, so he has always been self-aware and left the decision-making power to the actors themselves.

Hugo nodded to show his understanding, watched Quentin walk back behind the camera, and took a deep breath; Samuel, who was sitting next to him, looked at Hugo who was so nervous, and laughed, "Don't be too nervous, just follow It's good for you to understand."

Hugo smiled at Samuel and began to adjust his breathing. To be honest, he had not acted for more than half a year, and Hugo felt a little itchy. When he was about to devote himself to a new role, in addition to being nervous , the inner excitement also began to flap like butterfly wings, which made Hugo deeply feel the kind of fanaticism and commotion about acting in his bones.

But after Quentin shouted "start shooting", Hugo always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, which made Hugo take the initiative to call "ka" after only two lines. , and then quickly expressed his apology to the crew members, "I'm really sorry, give me a minute to adjust."

Hugo is no longer a rookie when he filmed "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". After the accumulation of the previous films, he is already a very good actor, so he closed his eyes to let his slightly irritable mood settle. down, adjust the state and start shooting again.

The second shot was obviously much better.

Jules drove slowly and said casually, "Tell me what the hell is going on at the marijuana bar?"

"Okay, what do you want to know?" Vincent seemed very cooperative and eager to try.

"Is it illegal to smoke marijuana there?" Jules asked curiously.

Immediately Vincent started to say, "Yes, but not absolutely. You can't just walk into a restaurant and start rolling weed there. I mean, if you want to smoke, you'd better be at home. Or the designated place is dark and cool."

"Just those marijuana bars?" Jules said he didn't understand.

"Okay, let's put it this way." Vincent decided to explain it in detail and simply to make Jules understand, "Buying marijuana. It's legal to own it. It's legal to sell marijuana in a marijuana bar. Marijuana. Marijuana is legal, carrying marijuana. Marijuana is legal, but listen up, if you get stopped by the Dutch, they can't search you, they don't have that power."

"I'll go, I'm going, I must go!" Jules sighed immediately, a smile appeared on his face, which made Vincent laugh too.

But at this time Quentin's harsh "card" came over. The shooting just now was very smooth and smooth, and Hugo did not have any jams or errors in such a large part of his lines, but was interrupted by Quentin, which made Many people in the crew were puzzled, and Samora looked at Quentin at a loss.

Quentin stood there and thought for a while, then trotted to catch up with the trailer, stood next to the passenger seat and said to Hugo, "The performance just now was not a problem, but I always felt...you know, I always felt less. something."

Hugo also nodded himself. This time he also managed the performance according to his previous practice, understanding the characters, digging them out, and then presenting them through his own understanding, but inexplicably, Hugo felt that something was missing, saying something mysterious. One point is the spark, and the practical point is the highlight of the character's character that pops out immediately.

Quentin stood there and thought for a while, "Hugo, you know, I don't study much about acting, I'm not sure, should you relax a little more, or, uh... a little more nervous?"

"Quentin, can I?" Samuel said aloud from the driver's seat. After Quentin nodded in response, Samuel met Hugo's turning eyes, "Hugo, I think you It's still a little too tight, you're always thinking about comedy, you're thinking about humor, but that feeling of tightness is going to limit your performance. You know, maybe you're acting so fluidly that you can't see it at all, but the lines are presented The effect that comes out lacks sparks, because you still seem a little deliberate in your heart."

Samuel's words made Hugo ponder, "However, if you want me to suggest improvements, I'm sorry, I can't help it. Your performance just now looks perfect..." Samuel was also helpless. Let Hugo sit in the passenger seat and fell silent.
