"Hugo, okay, now you look down. Now below is the original Los Angeles. This bustling city has become a ruin. At the same time, you also remember Jia Siming and your son Dilland. They were all left in the city, and you don't know their safety at this time... But the problem is that you are not far from the alien spacecraft. You must shoulder the responsibility of saving the world. Both individuals and families must be placed behind at this time..."

Roland's voice was slowly conveyed through the headset, explaining the current situation bit by bit. Hugo followed Roland's instructions and looked down through the fighter's window, trying to depict the appearance of Los Angeles becoming ruins in his mind. However, in his sight, he saw the screwdriver thrown by the staff next to him. The red screwdriver was very obvious on the green ground. In addition, there was a lot of black wires next to him, which was messy. Looking at such a picture to depict a magnificent ruin...

Hugo tried hard to focus himself, but Roland obviously had no experience in directing the actor's performance. He still slowly told the story, like a narrator of the animal world in the exploration channel, chatting.

Hugo finally couldn't help it and burst out laughing, "Sorry, sorry, my fault." Hugo admitted his mistake first calmly, and then said helplessly, "Roland, how long is this shot? You want me to show so many things, are you sure?"

Roland's words just now contained too many mixed emotions. If Hugo had to say it slowly, there was no problem. He could bring in emotions and express his feelings accurately. But the problem is that this is a commercial movie. There is no time in a commercial movie that does not spend a lot of time describing delicate emotions. Even if the description is more closely linked to one topic for exploration.

The most successful case is the struggle between Batman’s light and justice and the guardian of darkness in the "Batman Prequel" series. Digging deeper around a little is enough to support the entire story. If you are too greedy, it will destroy the fast-paced stimulation of commercial movies.

In the original script of "Independence Day", he was too greedy for the role of the president. He also described the emotions between him and his wife, showed his courage in the face of national disasters, and portrayed his dedication in the Vietnam War... As a result, three male protagonists stood together but their roles were uneven.

Now this version has been much streamlined. Under Hugo's suggestion, the emotional scenes of the male protagonist Steve were refined, but at the same time, it also reduced, weakened love and increased family affection. The bond between Steve, Jia Siming and Dylan was defined as a family, highlighting the theme that only with a country can one have a family, allowing Steve to stand up for the family and save the earth.

The scene being filmed now is actually only two to three seconds, but Roland is too greedy to show Steve's complex heart in this fleeting time. Although Hugo's performance space is relatively narrow, he can still meet Roland's requirements. It may take a longer preparation time, but he feels that he does not need to show much at this time.

"Roland, this is the first confrontation between the army and the aliens, right?" After Hugo finished speaking, although he could not see Roland's expression, he could guess that Roland must be not satisfied with his jokes. However, Hugo didn't mind. He slowed down his tone and explained in detail, "I think the reason why Steve went to fight at this time was simply because he was a soldier. He was obeying orders. He did not realize that he was fighting with the aliens, nor did he realize that he was saving the earth. But later, in order to save Jia Siming and Dylan, he disobeyed the order and flew back to the base in Los Angeles to find his family. Inspired by Jia Siming and Dylan, he gradually realized that this was a war that could not be lost."

Perhaps commercial movies do not need to portray too much feelings, just a simple clue is enough. But Hugo believes that some simple small details that show the changes in the character's psychology layer by layer will actually make the whole story full and three-dimensional. Compared to Roland's simple and rough way to stuff all emotions together, Steve's changes will appear three-dimensional, and at the same time can be combined with the plot and pushed to ** step by step.

Roland did not give an answer at the first time. He was not used to actors who violated his orders on the set. Of course, he was not used to actors telling things that he was not clear about Hugo's understanding of the characters and scripts was exactly Roland's shortcomings, which made him a little discouraged.

However, Roland is not an impulsive person. It can be seen from the previous negotiations. He was silent and thought about it carefully. He found that Hugo's words were actually very reasonable. This made Roland sigh lightly, picked up the intercom and said, "No problem, just follow what you said!"

Hugo made a gesture of OK in the direction of Roland, and then started rehearsal again.

Hugo closed his eyes and kept hinting that there was a ruin below him. The prosperous Los Angeles is now buried by countless flames and ashes, and then put himself in the role state and began to worry about Jia Siming and Dillan.

After entering the rehearsal again, Hugo's eyes became sad, and he let out a sigh of relief. His slightly frown brows revealed self-blame and guilt, "I shouldn't have left them."

Roland's voice came from the headset again, "At this time your teammates are lined up on your left and right, in the 'herring shape' of the wild goose flying south, your teammates comforted you and said, 'Don't worry, big guy, I think they must leave the city first'." Hugo lowered his eyes, but soon raised it again, he was flying and had to look straight ahead, "He then joked in a joke tone, 'Or as the priest often said, we may never know what the purpose of this mission is. But I can be sure that at this moment, the Black Knight will win again!' Your teammates were amused, and then you turned to look at him, and the two exchanged a glance, and you put on an oxygen mask..."

Hugo hid the mood in his eyes, then tilted his head slightly, looked to the left, and then saw a huge light. At this time, there seemed to be some problems. A staff member was standing on the stairs for repairs. Two staff members were discussing the NFL regular season that ended not long ago. The two were doing the quarterback throwing rugby, which seemed very excited.

This picture really made Hugo very out of the way. He really couldn't imagine that there were the same fighter planes flying on both sides, and there was an alien spacecraft parked directly in front of him. At this time, he was about to fly a moth to the fire to engage in a battle with unknown result. But when he looked forward, there was a bunch of scaffolding and cameras, not even a reference object.

Hugo held back his expression and ended the rehearsal, but Roland said next, "The alien spacecraft appeared in front of you, and the spacecraft with four football fields was suspended in the air, and you were completely shocked..." Hugo could not hold back the huge laughter caused by the strong contrast between fantasy and reality, and burst out laughing.

"Sorry, sorry, this time it was completely my fault, my fault." Hugo patted his helmet in annoyance, but while apologizing, he burst into laughter. He had to look in Roland and the others, "I'm really sorry. Let's just go to rehearsal here. I probably know what's going on, I know it in my heart."

Roland looked at the happy Hugo helplessly, "Are you sure?"

Fortunately, it's just a rehearsal now. If this is a formal shooting, this kind of ng is a waste of film. You must know that film is a piece of cost that cannot be ignored. As a producer, in order to control costs, such things must be strictly controlled. This is also the reason why every time the actors make mistakes, the laughing scene will be recorded by the producers. Every time, it is a cost expenditure.

Roland suddenly understood that this was why Hugo insisted on rehearsing first.

Hugo waved his hand, but he kept laughing, "Give me five minutes, just prepare first." Roland stood there and hesitated, but he didn't say anything, but Hugo suddenly added, "By the way, the renderings of the alien spacecraft and the renderings of this scene, can you draw a rough idea for me? I mean, the appearance and scale of the spacecraft, and the array model of our fighter plane."

"No problem!" Roland said neatly.

Hugo rubbed his stiff cheeks and forced himself to calm down. He knew that it would be absolutely impossible for him to shoot in this state, because the most important scenes of the script will be shot in the studio in the green screen, and he must let himself in the state.

In fact, a long time ago, Hugo knew that the green screen acting skills were completely different from the performance under normal circumstances.

Hugo had seen the behind-the-scenes shooting of "Avengers" before. The magnificent battle scenes on the movie screen were very stupid when shooting in the studio, because he saw the actors standing under the empty green screen, realistically fighting with the air, even more like a madman than Don Quixote, at least Don Quixote is fighting with the windmill, and they are constantly waving towards the air. This makes the actors' "performance" look very funny.

The most famous example is the "Oz: the.great.and.powerful" released in 2013. All scenes of this movie are shot on green screen, but the actors with excellent acting skills, James Franko, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz, and Mira Kunis are all out of standard, their performances are exaggerated and artificial, and the characters and pictures, and special effects are completely out of touch, making people laugh and cry.

Sandra Bullock's performance in "Gravity" was underestimated by many people, and she missed her second actress, Xiao Jinren. In fact, those who really know her will know that all Sandra's performances were completed in front of the green screen, and the difficulty was beyond imagination.
