In the crew, James is definitely the one-on-one existence, and no one can challenge his authority, even if Kevin Pence comes.

However, James also knew deep down that Hugo was not a member of the crew of the "Titanic". Today he was just a guest appearance in a friendly manner and even didn't get a penny of his salary. He just wanted to support his friend Leonardo. This was a huge deal for Hugo, who was in full swing. Therefore, James was not qualified to accuse Hugo.

What's more, although Hugo needs to be responsible in the situation just now, the staff are the ones who really have problems. If Hugo becomes tough and fights against James head-on, the one who suffers in the end is James, even if James doesn't care at all.

But to James' surprise, Hugo not only apologized, but also gave him face in front of the crew. This made James feel a little out of the way. The reason why he resisted Hugo to become a member of the crew was because he was worried that Hugo would face him head-on in the crew, which made him unable to control the situation of the crew.

Thinking of this, James, who has always been fearless, could not help feeling a little uncomfortable, but he still straightened his back and directly ignored the brief embarrassment just now, "Thank you for being willing to join our crew's filming, and I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time." It seemed that the accusations against Hugo just now did not exist at all.

Looking at James who was so righteous, Hugo was also choked and couldn't help but smile. He had contacted James several times. Hugo also knew that the possibility of him and James living in peace was slim, and they should not have a chance to cooperate in the future.

But Hugo still gave a few polite greetings, "Of course, I hope I can have the opportunity to join your project in the future." Just as Hugo thought today's cooperation ended here, James had turned around and prepared to leave, but James stopped and turned around, "Last time I heard George say that you put forward some very interesting ideas."

"George?" Hugo subconsciously asked, "There are no ten thousand people in Hollywood, but eight thousand people, so how can the poor household remember his name?

"Lucas." James added, and Hugo suddenly realized, "Oh." Then he realized what James was saying, and couldn't help but say "Oh" again. Looking at James's puzzled look, Hugo smiled awkwardly, "George must have said good things to me again, but in fact, I just made some insignificant points of view. I really knew nothing about computer special effects, but George caused a wonderful idea. So, if there were any credit, maybe I had put forward some ideas as an audience, and that's all."

James raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not express his opinion on Hugo's humility. He just followed the story, "In fact, making a movie is like this, piecing together countless impossible ideas and seeking a possible way to evolve into reality. Just like George's "Star Wars", the computer special effects of that year have not yet begun to develop, but George still filmed a work that could change American cultural history. You may have just put forward a few irrelevant views, but for those who really understand computer special effects, it can be a spark of inspiration."

This... is this praising Hugo? This made Hugo a little uncomfortable. However, because James' words were still very dull, Hugo could not tell whether this was praise or whether he was self-indulgent.

James didn't seem to leave room for Hugo to think, and then said, "I heard that you went to Industrial Light and Magic in person because you were curious about how the computer's later special effects were made?"

Hugo took back his thoughts and nodded, "Yes, you know, it's not easy to stand before the green screen to perform. Maybe we've learned more about the production and presentation of computer special effects, which is helpful for the performance."

"Oh, what do you mean?" James asked with interest. Originally, Hugo was just talking casually. He thought James was just showing politeness. After all, James has never studied performance much, but now...

Hugo didn't hesitate and said directly, "So that, in Jurassic Park, we need to show a panic expression when facing dinosaurs, but first, the focus of sight will be biased, which will have an impact on the details of the performance; second, since we are performing in the air, and the later computer-made special effects will fill the gap, the entire sense of space and the sense of involvement between the play will inevitably be different. Simply put, many times, when the actors are in the play, even if the other party is not in the shot, they need to stand outside the shot and provide us with references to the play. This is the same principle for computer special effects."

Hugo's words made James silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Hugo deeply, which made Hugo feel a little puzzled. James opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shut up, "Maybe you can talk to Leo. He has many ideas about performance recently, about visual effects, maybe your method is good."

Hugo could clearly feel that this was not what James originally wanted to say, he changed his mind temporarily.

This is true. James originally wanted to ask Hugo about the camera because many scenes of "Titanic" are composed of half-real and half-computer. Not only is it a big challenge for the actors, but it is even more severe for James. He has absolute confidence in the scheduling of the scene, but he seems to be ineffective in capturing the actors' performances. James feels that maybe Hugo can give some constructive opinions, but when he says that, he still can't say that he is not used to communicating with the actors, let alone Hugo.

Hugo naturally didn't know James' intense inner activities, so he just continued to say it, "The things I discussed with Leo are limited. Maybe you can communicate with Leo. As an actor, we often need to cooperate with the director and have a more full understanding of the entire scene and plot in order to meet the director's requirements. Therefore, if the director is willing to communicate directly with the actor, it will be of great help."

As an actor and as a friend of Leonardo, Hugo still gave his most pertinent opinions. However, it is obvious that James' rejection he never likes others to point fingers at his work. It is one thing for him to ask Hugo to help Leonardo, and it is another thing for Hugo to tell him what the director should do.

But this time, James hesitated for a moment, but did not vent his dissatisfaction. Instead, he muttered dullly, pointing to the syllables of "The director is the director... not the actor..." and didn't know what he was talking about. Then he took a deep breath and said directly, "Thank you very much for coming to the crew today. I think Kevin will be very happy."

James was always so stubborn about changing topics, which made Hugo stunned again. Then he made a few polite words with James, and then watched James turn and leave. This time, James really left, and he began to greet the crew and start shooting.

James is an extremely proud and even arrogant person. Even though he filmed box office masterpieces like "Titanic" and "Avatar", many Hollywood professionals still don't like him because he is too self-righteous. But today, he took the initiative to talk to Hugo about several topics. Although it was fragmented, it can be felt that James actually expressed some recognition of Hugo, such as actor strength, and Hugo's opinions on Industrial Light and Magic.

George Lucas can be said to be one of the people James admires the most. After George took Hugo's opinion, he applied a lot of the technology to the post-production of the "Titanic". This is also a key point that James cannot ignore, so he still expressed "friendliness" to Hugo today, which is already rare for James.

Despite this, Hugo and James are destined to be unable to become friends, and the auras of the two cannot fit together. If they have not become enemies, they need to be grateful if Hugo really starred in the "Titanic", this matter would be indefinite.

Hugo looked at the crew that was starting to operate again, then turned around and entered the standby room and changed into his clothes. Then, Hugo quietly watched the shooting of two scenes next to him. Although he could clearly feel the excitement of the staff, the entire crew was a little impetuous, and even James himself was a little anxious, this time there was no riot just now, and the staff were stuck on their posts.

After saying goodbye to Leonardo, Kate and James again, Hugo finished his cameo appearance as a "Titanic".

When leaving Rosarito, the crowd outside the studio increased instead of decreasing, and the crowd seemed to have increased a lot. This time, Hugo stood patiently on the sofa in the back seat of the car, waved to the crowd from the skylight, making the scene a boiling volcano again. When he left the studio completely, he could still see the continuous red waves surging wildly, screaming, shouting, and crying mixed with the sea breeze and accompanied the car to drive all the way, boiling the sea water of the entire Bay of California. The blue sky was dyed bright red at this moment.

Just as Rosarito was boiling because of Hugo, Los Angeles began to heat up gradually. The midsummer had ended, but the continuous high temperature was still staying in the North American continent. As the days progressed day by day, the box office of "Independence Day" was getting faster and faster. However, before "Independence Day" created history, the century-long showdown that sensation across the United States and even the world was about to begin!
