Chapter 705 705 Fear of Driving

Running, running, running... After Hugo ran back and forth seven times, he couldn't help gasping for breath. Don't underestimate this scene, Hugo's seven runs not only required running, but also sprinting. The difficulty is absolutely not to be underestimated.

But the shooting is still not over, Jane still needs to shoot from different angles inside the car, and present the picture from the perspective of the passengers, so Hugo still has to keep running.

Hugo remembers that after the release of "Transformers 2" in 2009, the heroine Megan Fox was blunt in an interview, saying that director Michael Bay (Michael. Bay) was a tyrant, and even compared him to Adolf Shi . special. Le. At the time, Meghan said that she was almost in a meltdown when she filmed on the set for 12 hours, running all the time, aimlessly and endlessly.

At that time, many people could not agree with Megan's view, thinking that Megan was playing a big name, and after relying on the "Transformers" series to become famous, he started a head-on war with the director.

But in fact, as long as the audience who has watched "Transformers 2" will remember that the hero and heroine are indeed running continuously in the movie, even the lines are few and far between, from the beginning to the end. This is indeed an extreme challenge for the actor's physical strength.

And Hugo now has a deep understanding of this feeling. Although he did not run as much as Meghan, in order to film this scene, Hugo has continued to run for nearly an hour, mainly because Hugo has to adjust Breathing, throwing into filming with a spirited face, can never show a panting, sweaty Jack chasing the bus, which is not only detrimental to the hero image, but also inconsistent with the plot setting of the film. Therefore, Hugo often shoots twice, rests to adjust his breathing, but does not have enough time to fully recover, and then continues to run.

This method is very exhausting. Compared with running a marathon, athletes need to maintain a uniform rhythm to run, so as to reduce the physical consumption to a minimum, and then when they need to burst, they will have enough energy to burst; The consumption of physical strength has increased exponentially, which is also the reason why the fixed-point variable-speed return running in basketball training has become "suicide".

Hugo is like this now. Accelerate and stop, adjust, accelerate, accelerate, stop, adjust... This kind of cycle makes Hugo unable to find an accurate rhythm, and often has to play again when his physical strength is not fully recovered.

After forty-five minutes, Hugo only felt that the air inhaled in his lungs became hot. Compared with the mental work of testing his acting skills, the physical work of testing his body was definitely not easy.

"Ka!" Jane's voice came again, "Okay, take a 30-minute break and prepare for the shooting of the next scene." Jane finally ended Hugo's torture, which gave Hugo a long sigh of relief.

The next scene is a drag racing scene, which is relatively simple, because the so-called drag racing here is actually not a simple speed, but Hugo driving a sports car to chase the bus, but in the dense traffic flow, The speed is not too fast at all; and after catching up with the bus, the task of the sports car is to stop the bus, not to compete for speed.

But compared to the scene just now, the next scene is what worries Joseph. He will not forget that Hugo's fear of driving is not a physical reason, but a psychological fear. Hugo still has no way to do it. Driving your own car won't erase bad memories of a car accident. Therefore, Joseph came to the set early, just worried about the shooting of the next scene.

Watching Hugo pacing back and forth on the highway with no one or a car, Samora stood by with a kettle, a towel and other utensils, ready to serve Hugo at any time. Although it was said that the 45-minute variable-speed running just now made Hugo's body function reach a peak, the actual running time is estimated to be only 25 minutes, and half of it is adjusting, so the most important thing is muscle soreness. Physical exhaustion is not as severe as expected.

Hugo paced back and forth, doing leg presses to relax, keeping his muscles warm and relaxing little by little. The previous period of physical training finally showed its power at this time. Although Hugo felt that his lungs were very hot, he persisted, and he could clearly feel the slow recovery of his physical fitness.

Joseph stood on the spot to organize his thoughts, walked up with hesitant steps, and looked at Hugo who was warming up, but Joseph didn't know how to speak, because in the past two years, Hugo had never mentioned it. After that car accident, every time it involved driving problems, Hugo also mentioned it in one stroke, and he didn't want to mention it too much. Now, when Joseph wanted to suddenly mention this matter, he also felt it was very difficult, but he could only stand there and look at Hugo with a faint worry.

Hugo was stretching the muscles of his thighs, and soon noticed Joseph's line of sight - if you don't pay attention, you can't, Joseph just has worry written all over his face, and Samora is standing next to it for unknown reasons. Hugo didn't think too much, and asked directly, "What's wrong?"

As soon as Joseph gritted his teeth, he bit his head and said, "In the next scene, you need to drive, are you... all right?"

Hugo's stretching movements froze involuntarily, but he recovered quickly and continued to move his muscles, but he was a little absent-minded.

Driving is really a hurdle in Hugo's heart, not only for Chen Hugo, but also for Lancaster. Every time he thinks of sitting in the driver's seat - even if it's just imagining, the pain in his left knee will be piercing. Come on, let him palpitate. Hugo knew that this was the result of the psychological shadow of the car accident being too strong, but knowing the root of the disease did not mean that he could overcome it. This was not poison. This is the fear from the depths of the soul, from the moment of life and death.

Hugo closed his eyes, and the terror in the darkness surrounded him in an instant. Hugo knew that being in a "country on wheels" and not being able to drive is really deadly. He has already crossed the United States once and back, but he has never been able to sit in the driver's seat. It's a disease that may require a psychiatrist to treat, but... Hugo doesn't even want to face it now.

Hugo was hesitant for a moment when he was filming "Speed ​​of Life", but then he agreed because he remembered that Jack didn't drive the scene in this movie - it was Sander who drove the bus. La's Annie. That's why he took it without any psychological obstacles, but now it seems that Hugo's memory is still a little fuzzy, and he missed the next scene. Although it is only a very brief scene, Hugo does need to sit in the driver's seat.

Hugo took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and saw the worry in Joseph's eyes, while Samora, who was standing beside him, frowned. Samora didn't actually understand what was going on, but hearing Joseph's concerns about "driving" and Hugo's stagnation, Samora also realized that Hugo seemed to have an obstacle to driving.

With just a brief recollection, Samora realized that Hugo had never driven a car during his previous road trips, and during his work in recent months. Originally, Samora thought it was because of Hugo's poor sense of direction, so everyone would not allow Hugo to drive. But now it doesn't seem so.

"I talked to Jane about this scene, because there are a lot of scenes running through the traffic, and then you need to chase the bus. It is best to need a professional to complete it, so it will be carried out by a professional double." In fact, from a few days Before, Hugo was worried about this scene, and if he could, he would like to go into battle himself, absolutely; but driving...he really couldn't do anything about it. Therefore, Hugo also had a discussion with Jane, and had a preliminary expectation for this scene, "Moreover, there are still some scenes that require dialogue and parallel driving. For the sake of filming, we will complete the filming on the trailer. "

The so-called trailer is to put the sports car and the bus on two trailers respectively. The trailers complete the forward running scenes, while the actors need to complete the dialogue and performance. This is also a necessary measure to avoid traffic accidents.

"But what about close-ups and close-ups?" Joseph knew that the problem wasn't that simple. There would definitely be some close-ups that needed to be shot in front of Hugo's driving, and it was impossible to use all of the stand-ins.

Hugo fell silent, just gritted his teeth, "I, I can try." Although he said that, but just thinking about it, Hugo felt that his brain was dark, and the shuddering feeling made him go behind his back. His sweat suddenly became cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the boundless blood began to devour the darkness, the screeching sound of the tires rubbing against the ground when braking, the roar and explosion when the car rolled over, all the noises swarmed in in an instant, engulfing him completely. Muscles started to tremble.

Hugo opened his eyes in panic. The bright sunlight around him made Hugo gasp for breath. Although his mood was still disturbed and messy, he finally calmed down a little.

Hugo fell silent, stood there without saying a word, and Joseph and Samora didn't speak either. Looking at Hugo's state, Joseph knew that Hugo couldn't drive, absolutely not, which made Joseph a little annoyed, knowing that he should have pushed the script of "speed of life and death". But Joseph knew that this was impossible. When Hugo decided to keep "Life and Death", their relationship was still very tense. If Joseph pushed Hugo's fancy script again, maybe the two of them would have to release their previous suspicions. It's not that simple anymore.

But even so, Joseph still felt a little annoyed.

Hugo seemed to be a little confused, he took a deep breath, "I'll go and contact the preparation team, right behind." After speaking, he exchanged glances with Joseph and Samora in a panic, then turned and left.

Joseph and Samora stood where they were, watching Hugo leave, at a loss, Samora wanted to catch up, but Joseph stopped him, then shook his head, "Let him calm down." Joseph thought carefully After thinking about it, I decided to talk to Jane and see if there is a way to use a trailer for close-up and close-up.
