The filming of "The Hero of the Righteous Sea" went very smoothly. Jack Nicholson soon completed all his roles and left the crew. Although the relationship between Hugo and Jack is not close, they can only be regarded as ordinary friends, but from Jack , Hugo has learned a lot, which is really a very rare experience.
And Hugo, who has made a breakthrough in acting skills, is playing other scenes with a sense of ease. He constantly confirms his experience in practice. This is also the best way to hone his acting skills. These days are really good for Hugo. Enjoy.
Heading into April, almost all of America's attention is on Los Angeles, as the Rodney King case is about to go to trial. After watching the full video, the district court jury acquitted the four police officers. In just two hours, a raging fire ignited in Los Angeles, black smoke filled the air, and gunshots were heard everywhere. Many people took advantage of the fire and rushed into the store to loot. At this moment, law and order were completely paralyzed, a quarter of the urban area was in flames, and the loss far exceeded the black urban violence in the late 1960s. chaos. More seriously, violence. There is a trend of spreading chaos, and there are signs of violence in major cities across the United States, which makes President George Bush have to mobilize tens of thousands of federal troops and the California National Guard into Los Angeles to quell the chaos.
violent. After the chaos, blame and abuse were directed at the jury, and the jurors were scolded for accepting. Purely racist, in the chaos and fury, no one from the jurors was willing to listen to the true charge of the incident. Because this year is an election year, President Bush is completely dizzy. As the head of the federal government's executive branch, he actually oversteps his responsibilities and announces that the federal government will re-indict the white people before the federal grand jury has heard the case and made an indictment verdict. police officer.
On the one hand, Bush did not understand the cause and effect of the matter at all, and he was also a member of the media blinded; on the other hand, in the election year, the Rodney-King incident has become a political event, and the worried federal government has to intervene, Even demanding that the white police officer be convicted no matter what, it really got the event out of hand.
This is the first time that Hugo stood in the long river of history and felt the heaviness of history. I used to watch a movie, say American kind. clan. How serious and exaggerated the discrimination is, or how complex the culture and traditions of the immigrant country of the United States are, Hugo has no substantive feeling at all, because it is a world far away from him, not only geographically, but also time.
But now, Hugo is standing in the United States in 1992, although Los Angeles is violent. At the time of the chaos, the entire crew of "Righteous Sea Heroes" came to Washington (Washington. D.C) on the east coast for filming, but luckily it was not affected; but watching the city where they lived a week ago turned into a sea of fire, my heart The shock is still indescribable in words.
In fact, the Rodney King incident this time triggered the Los Angeles riot. The reason is very complicated. The economic globalization of the United States has led to a large number of unemployment among black husbands in major cities and the loss of basic living guarantees; the former President Ronald Reagan (Ronald. Reagan) drastically cut welfare programs during his administration, instructing the serious deterioration of the gap between the rich and the poor; poor black communities It has been neglected for a long time, and the crime rate remains high; the judicial system is full of malpractices, and the police force. It is very common to see the scene of breaking the law and abusing power.
However, the most important reason is that the media is making a lot of noise and making a lot of noise. For their own interests, they use the deleted video to mislead the direction of the facts, so as to control the outcome of the incident before the court session. The "Uncrowned King" is playing God at this moment. The role of the trial, in a sense, single-handedly directed this unprecedented urban violence. chaos!
Now, this incident is not over, and it can even be said that the curtain has just kicked off. Under the attention of the president and the stimulation of the election year, the Rodney-King incident is still a leading event that may explode at any time. Husuo, no one knows where the event will go in the end.
"Freedom of speech and fair trial are two of the most precious things in our civilization, and it's really hard to choose between the two." Hugo repeated these words in a low voice, and then nodded slightly in agreement, Rodney- The many problems reflected in the Kim incident are the true portrayal of these two difficulties. Hugo raised his head and looked at Kevin Bacon next to him, "Who said this?"
"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black (Hugo. Black), has the same name as you." Kevin smiled, and then saw a shy smile on Hugo's face, and patted the rain. Guo's shoulder, "I was wondering if this is one of the reasons why Rob finally chose you."
The reason why Hugo brought up this Rodney-King incident was not only because it was the hottest focus in the past week, but also because Hugo had been thinking about the case in the story of "Righteous Sea Heroes", in Colonel Jessup. It seems that he made a series of decisions to protect his family and the country, but from a legal standpoint, Daniel could not agree with the Colonel's point of view. But the problem is that the colonel did not kill Santiago himself, so Hugo felt that he needed to think carefully about how to understand this case and how to analyze and debate the case.
While Hugo and Kevin were chatting freely here, Joseph suddenly ran over, "Hugo, Uma is here to visit the class, you..."
Hugo didn't react for a while, and when he looked over, he saw Joseph frowning slightly worried, "What? Who are you talking about?" Hugo didn't understand at all, so he had to ask again.
"I said, Uma came to visit the class, and now it's at the door of the studio." Joseph repeated that he didn't know what Hugo's relationship with Uma was now. The kiss at the premiere of "The Last Analysis", and then Uma's overnight stay at Hugo's house was a turning point. Therefore, Joseph is not sure whether Hugo welcomes Uma's arrival.
Hugo was stunned for a while, and looked towards the entrance subconsciously. Naturally, he couldn't see anything like this, but he saw the staff's faces are amused. He looked at himself ignorantly - this kind of teasing eyes would not have appeared before, but now everyone seems to be a lot more affectionate towards Hugo, as if saying "beautiful girls come", as if waiting to see a good show.
Hugo couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. He didn't know what the relationship between him and Uma was now. After that night, the two of them didn't contact each other. He even directly entered the "Yihai Xiongfeng" crew and was busy until now. And now, Uma actually came to visit the class directly, and Hugo didn't know what was going on, but what could he do now, he could only go with the flow, "I'll go out to meet her." The beauties came to Washington in person. On the set, Hugo didn't go out to greet him. This is not what a gentleman should do.
Hugo handed the bento in his hand to Joseph, and then walked towards the door of the studio, but he kept thinking about what the first sentence should be after the meeting.
"Hello?" This doesn't seem right; otherwise it's "Hey, long time no see", which seems too casual; "I didn't expect you to come to visit the class, it's so welcome", which is... too warm; "Before the beauty It's my pleasure to visit the class", is this flirting?
All kinds of thoughts in his head ran wild, and before he knew it, he came to the entrance, and then Hugo saw the pretty and fresh Uma, and couldn't help but stop. Today, Uma wore a simple white shirt and light blue jeans, and finally matched it with a pair of black shoes. The dress was simple and simple, without any gorgeous embellishments, but it showed the most moving and pure side of Uma's temperament. came out.
Uma also saw Hugo, with a bright smile on her face, she waved at Hugo, and then walked up with brisk steps, "I was filming near Washington, and I heard that you are here too, just in time. Just come and have a look." Uma greeted relaxedly, as if the two were familiar friends, but her generous performance made Hugo's nervousness a bit unnecessary, "Why, you shouldn't see I came empty-handed, so you are not welcome to visit the class, right?"
Hugo couldn't help but be amused, and said with a smile, "I was expecting at least coffee."
Uma shrugged and touched her flat jeans pocket, "When I get paid, everything will be there."
"Bread? Or milk?" Hugo and Uma walked side by side to the crew, and he continued to joke about Uma's words. But before the words came out, Hugo secretly screamed that it was not good. The suggestive taste of these words was too obvious.
Sure enough, Uma gave Hugo a meaningful look, the smile on the corner of her mouth paused, and then it bloomed with relief, "I thought pizza was the most popular food when visiting class." Uma didn't break it. The potential meaning of Hugo's words just now was tactfully revealed with a simple joke, but that look was imprinted in Hugo's eyes.
"Fried chicken, in fact, is the best choice." Hugo's eyes flashed, and he did not continue to entangle, but continued to talk along the topic of Uma.
After the two entered the crew, Hugo took Uma to briefly get to know Rob, Demi, Kevin and others, and then the two sat down next to the dressing table on the set. Hugo pointed to the clutter in the corner. Lunch box box, today's lunch is Chinese food takeaway, but unfortunately it is not the taste in memory, "I heard that someone came to visit the class just now, I'm still looking forward to being able to get rid of today's lunch. How about you, do you want to try our crew's food? Lunch?"
"Oh, trust me, your lunch is definitely not as lethal as our crew's," Uma crossed her legs and put her hands on her knees. She looked like a lady, but her eyebrows accompanied her words. Picking up slightly, showing signs of being alive, "When I was so hungry that my stomach was squirming and I saw a simple sandwich appearing on the dressing table, I really wanted to say, 'Grass! This is lunch? Even if it wasn't What rich Chinese food, or at least a hamburger, is just a sandwich?' My middle finger almost pierced the roof."
