"Sorry, I'm late." Hugo entered the police station and politely apologized to the staff who were ready around. At this time, at least more than 30 people were gathered in the door of the police station and in the specific areas inside, except for the staff, each with a camera and a recorder in his hands. Obviously, they were all reporters and were preparing to record the work on the set today.

The entire crew was ready, and Hugo was the only one left. So when Hugo came in, everyone stood up and went into work. Looking at the familiar equipment, cameras, radio microphones, monitors, moving tracks, lighting boards, microphone lines, etc. around, they arranged in an orderly manner, decorating the strange police station into what Hugo was familiar with. Those strange or familiar faces were doing the work that Hugo had already been accustomed to. The entire environment and atmosphere made Hugo feel a little nervous.

I am afraid of being close to home, probably talking about Hugo at this moment.

Hugo quickly withdrew his gaze and walked towards Curtis and others who were chatting, "Sorry, I'm really sorry." It's really not a good thing to let the entire crew wait for him alone.

Curtis and others actually knew that this had nothing to do with Hugo himself. There were too many trivial things this morning. If Hugo hadn't rejected David's request for help for trivial things just now, Hugo would probably have no way to come to film. Curtis said politely, "We should be happy with the work efficiency of the on-site staff and put them into the filming on time. The protagonist became a target just thirty seconds late. This is a good thing."

This made everyone chuckled. Hugo looked at Kevin, Russell, Charlize and others sitting next to him, "Are you going to prepare? Or are your scenes already done?" Except for Charlize, whose scenes are about to start from the third day of the crew's start, the other major actors are going to be filmed on the first day, including Heath Ledger.

"We're waiting for you to start." Kevin said in a deep voice, with a hint of banter, "I hope you can create a beautiful start for the crew. You know, everyone is looking forward to witnessing the wonderful performance of Hugo live."

Faced with Kevin's joke, Hugo deliberately shivered and pretended to be scared, "Broadway challenge? God, my feet have frozen into ice." He meant to retreat in the last moment.

Everyone chuckled, but Hugo turned around and looked around, walked straight to the drama, and said skillfully, "So, what happened to my first scene?"

The drama business had already stood by the storyboard with the script. When he saw Hugo coming, he immediately quickly explained to Hugo the pattern, camera, movement and lines of the first scene. Hugo raised his head and listened, while starting to look at the entire scene with his eyes, trying to build a three-dimensional scene in his brain and bring himself into it.

This is the work part that Hugo is familiar with. The familiarity that penetrates into his bones is awakened bit by bit, and his tight muscles begin to relax bit by bit. Gradually, Hugo even forgot that this is the first scene of "Cantonese Confidentiality" and also forgot that this is his first scene in 18 months, as if he had never left the set and never left the stage.

"Hello, I'm Hugo." After the show was finished, Hugo immediately stretched out his right hand to his two rival actors.

"I am Bob" and "I am Lanny", the two actors quickly reached out and snatched their hands to show their friendship. Hugo then asked, "So, do we need to rehearse?"

Bob and Lanny seemed to be at a loss. Obviously they did not expect Hugo to be so approachable and did not look like a big brand. The two did not answer, and Hugo didn't speak, but just looked at them with inquiring eyes. Finally, the opera staff standing next to them came out to rescue, "Otherwise, go through the lines? At least you know the rhythm of the performance." The two nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Seeing this scene, Hugo couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, I'm not a real serial killer, you don't have to worry about your life safety." This sentence made Bob and Lanny burst into laughter.

In this scene, Bob will play the role of the reporter who interviews the police station on duty on Christmas Eve, while Lanny will play the role of the photographer. Both actors are older than Hugo, but they are just supporting roles in this movie, and they don't even have their own names in the script. Fortunately, they all have lines.

Samora walked over quickly and handed the script to Hugo. He marked Hugo's lines with highlights, and there were some essays next to it, which were some of Hugo's thoughts when reading the script. Hugo and the two actors reciprocate the lines, but found that the effect was average, because both actors were nervous to face a famous actor like Hugo, it was not easy to maintain a peaceful mind.

After four rehearsals, they found the feeling. So Hugo gave the show a look. The entire crew was like a sophisticated machine. The two photographers immediately walked forward quickly, asking Hugo and the two actors to stand in their own positions, and then began to light up. Combined with the camera's angle and operation track, confirming the use of the light, Curtis stood three steps away, conceiving the entire picture structure.

The reporters standing beside the watching began to stir up softly. They did not make any noise, but they stretched their necks one by one to try to observe Hugo's situation at this time. Even senior journalists like Nicholas were hard to avoid. In fact, even Kevin, Russell, Heath and others cheered up and were curious about how Hugo would perform in the first scene.

The reason why it attracts the attention of the actors is that in the script of "Los Angeles City Secret", the four main characters basically use a short plot to shape their personality as soon as they appear. How to vividly shape the character's personality in a limited time, and completely connect the character's personality in the subsequent plot, is very important, and it is also a huge test for the actors.

All actors know that it is relatively easy to use a burst point to show the character's personality, such as crying, roaring, madness, sadness, etc., and many actors can do it; but without any burst point, if you want to outline the character's personality, what you need is a deep foundation and rich experience, and it is best to have a little amazing talent, which is a very difficult challenge.

Not only Hugo, but also Kevin, Russell, Charlize and others, were all thinking carefully. No one could relax easily.

Hugo is now filming not only Ed Esley's first scene, but also the first scene of the entire crew. You can imagine the heavy responsibility.

Hugo stood quietly in place, slowing down the rhythm of his breathing, taking deep breaths, and exhale, allowing his brain to exclude all the surrounding effects and calm down. Then he passed the lines in his mind and then repeated the process of the whole scene gradually took shape in his mind.

"Hugo?" He turned his head and looked over. It was Curtis. "Are you ready?" Hugo nodded, and then Curtis was about to turn around and leave. But after thinking about it, he stopped and wanted to say some encouragement to Hugo, because he also knew how important this scene was. The pressure on his shoulders would definitely not be less than Hugo, but when he spoke, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he just smiled at Hugo and turned around and left.

Curtis sat behind the monitor, raised his hand and signaled. All the noise and restlessness in the audience disappeared in an instant, quietly almost letting people feel the intensity of their breathing. Then the recorder ran to the front of the camera with the recorder board and shouted, "'Los Angeles Secret', the third act, the first try."

A crisp "pop" sound echoed throughout the police station, causing the heart to shrink involuntarily.

There was a vague noise from the police station. You could feel that the party was being held on the second floor. Ed turned his head and looked at the riot at the end of the corridor. A group of his colleagues were detaining several thieves in the cell. There was not much expression on his gentle face, but the amber eyes hidden behind the golden glasses seemed to be out of focus, with a deep halo. You could feel that his brain was running quickly, but it was hard to recognize the thoughts in the abyss.

Standing behind Ed was a photographer. He raised his camera and pointed it at Ed's back as he looked at the corridor and pressed the shutter. The muddy shutter sound was accompanied by an exaggerated flash, but Ed seemed to have not noticed it, and still looked at the distance thoughtfully, without even blinking, making people unable to help but want to explore the secret hidden behind the glasses, "Officer Ed Esley."

The reporter's voice came, and Ed turned his head and his eyes drooped slightly. It took only a millisecond to make people unable to notice it. Then he raised his gaze and looked at the reporter Bob in front of him. Bob had a gentle smile on his face and continued, "You must find it difficult to catch up with him, the son of the legendary hero Preston Eisley, right?"

Before Ed could speak, the photographer pressed the shutter again. The exaggerated clicking sound and flashing lights came to his face, which scared Ed. He couldn't help but retreat, as if he was worried that the other party would attack him, but the smile at the corner of his mouth completely bloomed, as if he understood that the other party had no malice at all, but he was just making a fuss, a little embarrassed, and a little relieved. It can be seen that he was completely unacceptable to the spotlight.

Then Ed looked at Bob again, "Why don't you go out into another world? Why do you still have to be a policeman?"
