Chapter 1411 1411 The boss supervises the work

"My scenes are not that fast. I just want to come and see them and come here to visit you." Will always said with a friendly smile on his face, and he said sincerely, making people feel good. "By the way, I play Russell Case (R-Sex ll.cas). We have some rival scenes in the movie."

Russell Case, a man who sacrificed himself at the last moment of the movie, detonated the alien spacecraft over the city. This is also a very important character. Although he is not the protagonist, in the original script, the role is not inferior to the so-called male protagonist Steve. He once participated in the Vietnam War and claimed to have been captured by aliens. After returning, he was immersed in alcohol and could not extricate himself. Later, he took out his courage in times of crisis on earth and became a part of saving the earth. The company handed over this role to Will, which was obviously optimistic about his prospects.

But what's interesting is that Hugo originally thought that after he played the male lead, Will would not get the opportunity to achieve his grand plans, and the story would easily become a routine for a group of white people to save the earth, but Roland actually set Russell as a black man, using this method to make the whole story complete again.

"It seems we need to have a good talk. You are carrying out a lot of important tasks." Hugo said solemnly, and Will was stunned for a moment, then realized that Hugo was talking about the role of Russell, and at the same time he was saying that Russell would steal a lot of the light belonging to Steve.

Hugo's joking and self-deprecating made Will clap his hands and laugh, pointing at Hugo, "Hey, man, you're such a humorous man."

Looking at Will who was smiling too exaggeratedly, Hugo and Sandra looked at each other. Sandra pointed to Will who was overwhelmed and said seriously, "If this praise comes from a certain woman, will it make you happier? Or do you want Cameron to say this?" Then Sandra shrugged, "Brother, you know, I can help if you need it."

Sandra directly put her arms around Hugo's shoulder, "Hey man, you're such a humorous man."

"Why do I think I'm being transferred to the scene?" Hugo held his chin and fell into deep thoughts, while Will was already laughing so hard that his stomach hurt. Hugo waved to the staff next to him, "I think he needs medical help." Even Sandra couldn't help but burst out laughing. The spit of the girl scattered flowers made Hugo widen his eyes, "Hey! Lady!"

As a result, Hugo got a fist from Sandra in return.

"It seems that everyone gets along well, which is good news for us, right, Hugo?" A sunny and excited voice came towards us. When he looked up, he saw Allen Strello strode. He was wearing an iron gray suit today, with a tall figure and awesome momentum, which made people look sideways.

Will and Sandra turned around and saw Allen, and they immediately cheered up. At the opening ceremony, they all knew that Allen was the real behind the "Independence Day". In other words, Allen had the power of life and death. Unlike Kevin Pence, Allen was not a part of the film industry, he was a simple businessman. Such people were the ones that needed to be vigilant because he did not understand the operation mode of the industry. The only thing that could impress him was profit. To put it bluntly, it was that the layman knew nothing. Therefore, when dealing with Allen, he could not follow common sense. No wonder Will and Sandra were cautious.

Hugo saw Allen at the first time, and he also noticed the tension between the two people around him. The relaxed and lively atmosphere was obviously settled down. "I think it is good news for the actors." Hugo chuckled and said that he had contacted Allen twice, and felt that Allen's personality was relatively sunny and bright and easy to get along with, but Hugo also knew that this was because they had no conflict of interest with Allen at present. Businessmen like Allen's true personality was hidden and only revealed when the conflict of interest occurred.

"Of course, it would be even better if there were some small benefits, such as the big boss coming to visit the set," Hugo looked at Will and Sandra. Although both of them still had smiles on their faces, their activity had dropped significantly. "For example, when the big boss came to visit the set, he invited us to have coffee and donuts."

Hugo was joking because he didn't expect Allen to visit the set on site. Behind the scenes investment bosses like Allen, because they know nothing about the film industry, often hire a professional producer to give orders on the spot. For example, Allen entrusted it to Twentieth Century Fox. As for themselves, they don't have much interest in the set.

The reason why Hugo said this was actually to make fun of Allen's concern for the crew and personally went to supervise the film. This was obviously a reflection of the suspicion of the merchants. Of course, Hugo's meaning is rather obscure.

Unexpectedly, Allen laughed and patted his head, "Look at my memory, you can't be empty-handed when visiting the set, right?" Allen smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned to a black suit standing beside him and said, "Billy, hurry up and order takeout now. Go and ask how many staff members there are on Roland. In addition to coffee and donuts, order some pizza. I think it's almost noon."

Alan's response made Hugo a little at a loss. He just said casually... Hugo looked at Sandra standing beside him, and the two exchanged helpless eyes. Will next to him also made a face, which almost made Hugo laugh.

"I just watched the shooting next to me. It seems that everything is going very smoothly today. How about it? Does it feel special to invest in a brand new shooting?" Allen finished his explanation and turned around and continued to communicate with Hugo.

This made Hugo stunned. Alan appeared on the crew from the beginning? Then he hid on the side to watch the shooting? Hugo was shocked. He didn't know that this was a common move by commercial film investors. For example, today was the first day of the official filming in the studio. They went to the scene to supervise, or Alan's own insistence. Hugo has been rolling in Hollywood for a few years now, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

"Uh..." Hugo looked around roughly and found that due to the appearance of Allen, Roland, Sergio and others were standing a few steps away, hesitating to come forward to disturb. It can be seen that they were also very surprised, "I don't feel very adaptable. You know, I have no experience in green screen performances, everything is fresh, and I was a little at a loss when I started shooting just now," Hugo quickly organized the language and replied calmly, "Of course, I still need to adjust slowly next."

"Haha..." Although Hugo concealed it well, Allen could still feel the difference. After all, although the first two meetings between the two were not familiar, they were at least relaxed. Today's atmosphere was obviously much tighter, not to mention Will and Sandra stood aside and smiled dryly, "People, relax, I have no intention of cutting the budget for the movie, nor have I interfered with the production of the movie."

Alan's candidness made Sandra feel embarrassed, and she lowered her head and gave Hugo a look, as if she was saying, "Hurry up and send him away." "Kevin told you before, I have always been interested in movies. I think it is a very interesting art, so I wanted to go to the set a long time ago, you know, just look at the shooting process, look at the actors' performances, you know, it's the curiosity of movie lovers." Alan said quickly in a relaxed tone.

Hugo immediately understood what Allen meant, just as everyone was more or less interested in the operation of the set. When the crew filmed in public, it could always attract people to watch.

"Especially, I just watched the 'Death Prisoner Walk' not long ago. I really admire Hugo's performance. I was very curious about what Hugo would look like when he worked on the set, so I came here specifically today." Alan looked at Hugo politely, his blue eyes soft and bright, sending a friendly signal.

"Yes!" The answer was Will. His shocking sound made Sandra and Hugo unable to hold back, and he chuckled directly, which made Will touch his head awkwardly, "I think so too, so I made a special trip to the set today. Hugo's performance is indeed worth learning."

As if he had found a soulmate, Allen pointed his index finger at Will with a smile and said, "Look, this is what I mean." This absurd and childish action made the three of them unable to hold back and chuckled, and the atmosphere finally eased.

"So, Hugo, you said you were not very adaptable, what's going on? Green screen? What's that?" Allen looked at Hugo with a curious look, as if he really had endless curiosity about the movie.

It makes sense to think about it. I heard that the check that Allen wrote to Twentieth Century Fox was $150 million. If Allen wasn't really interested in the movie, he would definitely not be so generous.

Hugo looked at Sandra, then looked at Allen, "To be honest, it is not correct for you to let me explain this, because I am also very confused. I think it is more appropriate to need Roland or the computer special effects staff to come and explain..." The smile on Hugo's face finally returned to relax and explained according to his own understanding, while Allen listened seriously. This made the slightly tense atmosphere slowly relax. Although it was not obvious, it was at least a good sign.

The boss appears in the workplace to supervise the worker, and this kind of thing is always difficult to deal with, isn’t it?
