Chapter 2041 2041 Absenteeism
"Ahem..." Hugo forced to close his mouth, but his throat still couldn't help itchy. He tried to suppress it twice, but he still coughed, "Sorry." Hugo quickly apologized to the staff at the scene.
"Hugo, are you okay?" Knight looked at Hugo with a worried face. "Do you need a rest?" Seeing Samora quickly walking forward and handing over a cup of hot water, Knight said quickly, "Take a sip of water first." Knight walked to Hugo with great strides and said uneasy, "Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor? Do you need to get some medicine?"
Knight's nervous mood was like an old mother, which made Hugo laugh. However, Hugo was in a bad state now. He pulled the corners of his mouth and still didn't laugh. He just waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."
But this sentence still did not make Knight feel at ease, because Hugo's situation today was really uneasy. It has been nearly three hours since he joined the crew to work, but Hugo has never completely entered the performance state and has been in the process. Although Hugo can always contribute a wonderful performance in the end, it is obvious that Hugo is a little uneasy. He needs more time to settle down and brew, and there are more problems during the shooting process.
Hugo used to be unaware of ng, but today Hugo's ng rate has increased significantly, even several times. Not to mention the worrying cough.
Knight had to be nervous, not because Hugo is the biggest actor in the entire crew, but because the filming of "Supernatural Sixth Sense" has started, Hugo has used his own performance to inject soul into the role of Malcolm. The trembling that penetrates the bone marrow is exactly what Knight is always pursuing but has no clear ideas. This made Knight focus almost all his thoughts on Hugo, believing that Hugo can make the entire work shine with infinite light.
Hugo really feels uncomfortable now. He didn't lie. He didn't sleep well last night. He tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep. He always struggled after entering sleep. Not only was he awakened twice in the middle of the night, but he was also having nightmares and was uneasy all night. After getting up in the morning, he caught a cold. Although it was not serious, his condition did not reach its peak.
However, Hugo knew that his biggest problem was not physical factors, but that he could not concentrate and his entire attention was always a little distracted. He knew the reason, but he could not solve it. The only thing he could do was to calm down and devote himself to the role.
However, judging from the work efficiency so far today, the results have been very little.
"Hugo, I'll soak some lemon and honey water for you." Samora looked at Hugo worriedly. In fact, Hugo's health has not had any problems in the past two years. The main reason is that Hugo has been exercising, but Samora will not forget that Hugo's previous body foundation has been emptied. Once he really gets sick, it may be serious.
Hugo originally wanted a cup of coffee, but after thinking about it, he nodded, "Okay."
He poured the whole cup of warm water into his throat in one breath, and Hugo said to Knight and the staff again, "Sorry, because I have affected the progress of the work", and then looked at Hailey lying on the hospital bed in front of him, and showed an apology smile, "It seems that my performance today is too bad, I'm sorry."
This scene is filmed by Cole for the first time to open his heart to Malcolm and said the famous line in American film history, "I can see the dead (i.e.dead.people).".
Cole's fear was fully displayed in front of Malcolm, and Malcolm's sadness, helplessness and shock were deeply hidden. More importantly, even if Malcolm did not believe Cole and believed that this was just Cole's fantasy, he could not show it because he had to win Cole's trust and approach Cole step by step carefully, hoping to truly help Cole's ending problem. Therefore, at this time, Malcolm's state became the core of the whole scene and he was the medium to guide the audience to the truth.
But unfortunately, Hugo's performance was very bad just now. He forgot the words when he spoke the lines and seemed a little absent-minded. After four consecutive interruptions in the shooting, he was forced to interrupt the fifth time because of his cough. Such an unemployed performance was very rare even during the shooting stage of "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", which was a delay to the entire crew, so Hugo repeatedly expressed his apology.
Hailey lay obediently on the hospital bed, showed a big smile, shook her head, "It doesn't matter." There was still some expectation in her eyes.
Compared to Hugo, who usually performs wonderfully, Haley actually wants to see Hugo today, not because he wants to delay shooting, but because even Hugo, who is in a poor state, can still see his control and exert force during the performance, which is more traceable than usual, and can even see the entire process of Hugo sculpting the character. This is a rare situation for actors.
Leonardo expressed 100% approval of Haley's idea.
Hugo leaned back on the back of the chair, "Can you give me five minutes, Knight?" After seeing Knight nodding impatiently, Hugo slowly closed his eyes to calm down.
But what was easy to do in the past has become extremely difficult today. It seems that there are a thousand flashes in my mind that are constantly flashing. There is no way to calm down, and even my chaotic thoughts cannot be distinguished clearly, but they are becoming more and more confused. This feeling is really bad.
Hugo has been in the circle for so many years and has dealt with various situations, but this is the first time such a situation. It can almost be said that he cannot fully devote himself to his state. He also knows that acting requires state, and the state of the actors is ups and downs. Only veteran actors like Judy Denge, Meryl Streep, and Catherine Hepburn can be free to retract and dedicate their wonderful performances even when they are in poor condition. Therefore, this is bound to be a problem that Hugo will face, and there is no other way except to face difficulties.
Taking a deep breath, then taking another deep breath, Hugo tried his best to get himself into the darkness, "Hugo, can you?" Knight's voice came timidly. For the first time, Hugo felt that five minutes was so short, as if he had just closed his eyes, and time had already arrived.
But Hugo still opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and nodded at Nait.
"They're out of gas?" Hugo raised his eyebrows slightly, dragged his chair to Hailey, and started performing from the three lines before the end of the scene, mainly to facilitate post-production editing. Hugo laughed softly, "That's great, because they're driving! So..."
"Tell me why you are sad?" Cole grabbed his quilt tightly, as if his body was trembling under the quilt, waiting for his big watery eyes, looking at Malcolm in front of him.
Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, as if his spirit had begun to leave the set, but only for a moment, his thoughts floated back and asked in a gentle tone, "Do you think I'm very sad?" He sorted out the mess in his expression awkwardly, as if he wanted to hide his emotions. His eyes drooped down in an instant, then raised his eyes again and looked at Cole in front of him.
Cole nodded slightly, Hugo hesitated a little. He pursed his lips, as if he was afraid to ask this question, "Why do you think so?" His gaze was still on Cole, but his pupils began to move slightly, revealing his inner disconfidence and uncertainty.
"Your eyes told me." Cole's tender tone was filled with a faint sadness, which made Hugo completely stunned.
The thoughts in his mind suddenly surged, and countless miscellaneous things made a bitterness appear on the tip of his tongue. He couldn't help but lower his eyes again, trying to hide his true thoughts deep in his heart, and refused to be seen through by the little boy in front of him, but he could feel that the motionless eyes of the boy in front of him were always on his face.
"I shouldn't have talked about this." Hugo's voice that was almost like a sound of air sound sounded softly, as if he was muttering to himself, and as if he was talking to the air.
He raised his eyes again and Hugo saw Cole's bright eyes. At this time, there was a thin layer of mist in his eyes, a little timid, a little scared, and a little disappointed. He turned his head, avoided Hugo's sight, and tilted his head to the other side. However, his brows frowned slightly, as if there was an indelible heaviness in his heart.
This heaviness dragged Hugo into the abyss at once. The boundless darkness made him struggle. He tried to break free from the shackles and run back to the light, but the more he struggled, the more painful it became. This made Hugo almost unable to hide his inner emotions, and he couldn't help but close his eyes quietly.
Knight suddenly felt a sudden slap in his heart when he saw this scene. This situation was not good. Could it be another time? Although Hugo's overall aura was a bit weak just now, the aura that was so mixed and helpless and sad that it was so sad that it coincided with Malcolm. In the scene with Haley, there was a strange chemical reaction, just like the rhythm of the two people missed a quarter of each other, which was not harmonious, but created a different flavor. Is this really interesting? Is it good or bad?
Knight's body leaned forward slightly, and the staff around him tensed up all their muscles, ready to go, but Knight looked at Hugo's delicate expression on the monitor carefully, bit his tongue hard, and let his "jack" swallow it into his stomach.
Hugo's mind was at its peak, almost making him think that his head would explode in the next second, and a sense of depression had risen to his throat. A faint struggle and pain were written between his eyebrows. Although it was not obvious, it seemed very heavy, showing the extreme tension and fullness of the emotions.
Then…Malcolm opened his eyes.
