Chapter 79 079 Script Exercises

Leaving aside the mistake of being late for Hugo, Allejee, as the drama manager, has the responsibility to keep the crew running normally. Even if Hugo is late and needs to be punished, it's not Allejee's turn to execute it. After all, Hugo is the first of the crew. If the male protagonist wants to change the actor, it will naturally be decided by the producer.

Listen to Hugo's statement just now, although he was late, he was delayed in the studio for a while - he specifically expressed his apology to the staff, and then was delayed by Alger for a while, at least it passed before and after. After more than 20 minutes, these things can be investigated, and Hugo has no way to lie; then in total, Hugo is actually less than five minutes late.

In a nutshell, it was Alleje who made the stumbling block, which seriously delayed the crew's first script practice. Although Hugo was wrong, Allejee was even more unforgivable as the drama manager. No wonder all the actors in the room were glaring at Allejee.

Joseph listened to Hugo's rhetoric, and quietly completed the counterattack, not only sincerely admitting his mistake, but also making Alger completely unable to refute, which relieved Joseph's depression a little, but he still He didn't show it, just lowered his head to show his sincerity, and then looked at the stunned Alger from the corner of his eyes.

Allejie is completely unhappy now, and he is at a loss for words now, because what Hugo said is the truth, he wanted to refute it again, but Rob interrupted him directly, "You can go out Now, the script practice is about to start." Allejee stood still, but Jack got angry again, "If you postpone it, just don't do today's practice." Then another assistant director kept giving Ah Le Jie winked, and Alle Jie left the conference room with a look of frustration and unwillingness.

Before leaving, Allejee glared at Hugo, but Hugo turned his back to the door of the conference room and did not give him any response. Then the door of the conference room was slammed shut by Joseph. Alleje ruthlessly isolated outside the door.

"I'm really sorry for the inconvenience I caused." Hugo quickly walked to the first seat on Rob's right and sat down, while Joseph found an empty seat in the two rows of chairs against the wall in the conference room.

Jack glanced at Hugo, "If you have time to apologize, why don't you hurry up and read the script."

Only now did Hugo really look at the man in front of him. Jack was fifty-five years old this year, and the hairline on his forehead had been dragged back seriously, revealing a full and broad forehead with fine wrinkles written on it. traces of time. In fact, Jack is not a handsome guy in the typical sense, his eyes are not sharp, and there is no special temperament. At this time, he is wearing a simple lake blue shirt without any decoration or embellishment, but on him, it is There is a quiet aura, as if you can hold the entire scene in your hands.

At this point, Jack and Al, who Hugo worked with not long ago, are very similar. From Jack to Al, to Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro, they are not typical handsome guys, but Al is Very handsome, but unfortunately his height is a fatal injury, and Robert fits many people's definition of handsome, but compared to handsome guys like Tom, Brad, and Hugo, there is still a gap.

But these four acting masters all have their own characteristics, and the point is that they can also integrate this quality into their own performances to create classics. This is the real aura.

No wonder people joked that in fact, handsome guys are just like beautiful women. It is not so easy to get academic recognition. Looking at the winners of the Oscar history, the proportion of handsome guys is really pitiful. , he has been nominated for the Oscar for eight times before and after his long-cherished wish, and the most famous person in the 21st century is Leonardo, whom Hugo met not long ago.

Therefore, it is not so easy for Hugo to gain recognition for his acting skills. Appearance is a stepping stone, but it can also be a stumbling block.

Sitting on the right hand side of Hugo is the movie heroine Demi Moore. Demi, who has been in the entertainment industry for 12 years, did not usher in her real career peak until the "ghost relationship" in 1990. Her salary has reached the 8 million level in one fell swoop, and she is one of the top actresses at present.

There are many reasons why Demi will take over the script of "Yihai Xiongfeng" this time, such as wanting to challenge a brand new role, for example, the cooperation with Tom and Jack will be very interesting, but Demi definitely did not expect it Yes, Hugo actually became the hero of the movie.

It is worth mentioning that there are two or three things that have to be said between Hugo and Bruce Willis, Tracy gave up Bruce and chose Hugo to shoot "The Eagle of the Hudson", although the film failed, but Bruce Still have a pimple in my heart. And Demi is Bruce's wife.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find the reason for Demi's indifferently repelling eyes at this moment.

Facing Jack's anger and Demi's indifference, Hugo didn't make any more excuses. He quickly lowered his head and opened the script of "Righteous Sea Heroes" in front of him.

This was the first time Hugo saw the script for a movie. He was so unfamiliar with everything. All lines, all scenes, all characters had to start all over again. At this moment, there was a group of people sitting next to the conference table, not only the three main characters Hugo, Jack, and Demi, but also a series of supporting characters. They all arrived at the scene for script practice. They had been delayed for some time before, and they were a little impatient as they waited, and the whispers made the conference room seem a little dull and noisy.

"Then let's get started," said Jack, who obviously didn't want to wait any longer.

Rob glanced at Hugo and cast an inquiring look. Hugo just got the script and didn't understand anything, but he still gave Rob a confirming look, saying that he was fine, and then Rob said, "Guantanamo, Daniel's first time Officially to Colonel Jessup."

After Rob finished speaking, the sound of page turning came from the conference room. Hugo glanced at Demi's movements on the right, and quickly turned over, but because he was unfamiliar with the script, Hugo's movements ended up in the end. It's a little slower. But Demi saw Hugo's embarrassment and didn't plan to help. She just sat quietly. Fortunately, Rob stretched out his right hand and helped Hugo turn to the exact page number. Hugo looked up and showed Rob a smile. Express thankfulness.

"Go." Rob gave the order, and then heard Jack say in a calm and relaxed voice, "Nathan Jessup, please come in."

Hugo was still looking for the specific line position, and he didn't react for a while, but he quickly noticed the silence in the conference room and couldn't help but look up, only to find that everyone was looking at him. Hugo secretly thought to himself: Could it be that he was the one who received the lines? really...

On such an occasion, especially since everyone didn't like Hugo in the first place, no one would understand Hugo's situation, and there were only indifference and curiosity in his eyes. Joseph, who was sitting in the back, couldn't bear to look at it, he closed his eyes in annoyance, and once again expressed his regret for getting up late in the morning.

Hugo knew that the continuous apology was ineffective, and everyone would not buy it. So this time, he didn't speak, but relieved the embarrassment in the conference room with apologetic smiles, but luckily, Hugo received a friendly look from the crowd, Hugo glanced at it, unexpectedly It was Kevin Bacon, with whom Hugo once collaborated on "The Diner," which Hugo still remembers. Kevin gave Hugo a smile, and encouraged Hugo to read the script in front of him. Hugo didn't have time to express himself, so he could only return a smile, and then looked down at his script.

"Thank you, sir. I'm Daniel Kaffey, attorney for Dawson and Donnie..." Hugo found the line and read it without any pause, although this was the first time Hugo had seen a line, it was The paragraph is not difficult, so for a whole paragraph of lines that introduce each other, although the rhythm of Hugo is a little slower, but fortunately there is no mistake.

"Is there anything we can do, Daniel?" Jack read the lines without any difficulty, and could clearly feel that the man in front of him was not Jack, but Colonel Jessup. Jack's ability to control acting freely is really admirable. Hugo is still far from this level.

"Uh, it's nothing, sir. It's purely a matter of routine. The Military Advocate General asked... uh, sorry." Hugo finally ate the screw. Although this line was not long, Hugo was not familiar with it. There were inevitably some stumblings in the process of reading, "The Military Advocate General asked us to meet all relevant witnesses." Hugo still finished the second half of his lines.

The next line was originally Demi's line, but was interrupted directly by Jack, "Hugo," this impatient voice made everyone in the conference room focus their attention again, "If you think the script exercises If you just say the lines, then you are wrong."

Script practice is more than just reciting lines. In fact, it is also an occasion for cultivating tacit understanding among actors. It even requires actors to enter the role and have an emotional dialogue. Although there is no camera shooting, the state of the actors is not much different from the official shooting.

Jack was obviously very dissatisfied with Hugo's slightly bland and stumbling line practice just now. After he finished speaking, he put the script on the table, "Let's take a break for half an hour before starting, even if the practice is fruitless." Said After finishing, he stood up directly, turned and left the conference room.

Immediately afterwards, Demi also stood up and turned to leave. Seeing that the two protagonists had left, after obtaining Rob's consent, the other actors also stood up one after another. The quiet and orderly meeting of the meeting room was interrupted in an instant, no one cared about Hugo's feelings, just left the meeting room with a smile.

Hugo saw that he had just received the script for less than five minutes, but he couldn't make any excuses. He could only be dumb eating Huanglian.
