Looking at Hugo's confused expression, Rob and Nora, two people who were almost 100 years old, laughed happily, obviously very happy to be able to deceive Hugo. This made all the other actors watching laugh and cry.

Rob and Hugo were still more familiar with each other, so he took the lead in resolute smiles, turned to his partner standing aside and said, "Nora, we should give him the script, otherwise he would not be able to film in such a state." Then he turned his head and looked at Hugo, "Did you forget? This is a story of connecting two people through radio, so the male and female protagonists have never met."

Hugo then realized that he hadn't thought about this at all. At this time, when Robert reminded him, he understood.

The story of "Seattle's Sleeping Night" is very special. It is divided into two main lines to explain, one is the male protagonist Sam and the other is the heroine Anne. Sam originally lived in Chicago in the central United States, and then after his wife passed away, he moved to Seattle on the West Coast. Sam has his own life line. The actors Hugo sees today are obviously the characters around Sam's line. On the other hand, Anne lives in Baltimore on the East Coast of the United States. She also has her own life circle and has no intersection with the West Coast. Those actors and Hugo have no intersection.

Therefore, when filming the movie, Nora plans to divide it into two parts for shooting, first shooting Hugo's part independently, then shooting Hugo and Meg's part collaborating, and finally shooting Meg's part independently. After all the shooting is over, the entire movie will be integrated through post-production.

In fact, if conditions permit, it would be great for the male and female protagonists to be able to play the roles for each other in person. For example, in the radio scenes in "Seattle Night Not Sleeping", Sam and Anne muttered to the radio. The voices of the two overlapped through radio waves, and the actors personally helped the scenes. This is very helpful for the actors' emotional expression. Otherwise, if other staff members help, they will always have an impact on the actors' rhythm of entering the play.

However, due to Meg's special circumstances, Nora had to give up this idea and completely shoot the two main lines of Hugo and Meg.

The casting process of "Seattle Sleeping Night" was extremely bumpy. Simply put, no one was willing to take over this hot potato. Michelle Pfeiffer, Kim Basinger, Judy Foster, Julia Roberts and others were all candidates, but unfortunately they were all rejected. Meg agreed to star in the last moment. But the problem is that Meg was filming another work at this time, and she could not immediately join the crew of "Seattle Sleeping Night".

Meg is filming "Flesh.and.Porn" directed by Stephen Kloves with her husband Dennis Quaid. The film was originally scheduled to be completed in early February. If it can be completed according to the plan, Meg can immediately join the "Seattle Night Sleeping" crew, but the filming of the film has some problems, resulting in a delay. Director Stephen has no way to determine the completion time, and it is very likely that it will be delayed until February.

But the problem is that the story of "Seattle Sleeping in the Night" starts from Christmas Eve and ends at Valentine's Day, so it is most appropriate to start the film before March. As a last resort, Nora can only ask the crew to start the film first, waiting for Meg while filming Hugo's part. In other words, Hugo must start the film first without the heroine. Fortunately, the particularity of the movie "Seattle Sleeping in the Night" makes this idea possible, otherwise the crew can only delay and wait for the heroine to come in place.

After understanding the causes and consequences, Hugo had no special thoughts. No matter whether Meg appeared on the set or not, his shooting was necessary. On the contrary, getting along with the child actor made Hugo even more worried.

"So, this is your opponent actor." Nora gently rubbed the child standing next to her and said with a smile at Hugo.

Although Hugo had known for a long time that Sam was a widower and had an eight-year-old child, when he actually met the child actor, Hugo was still a little worried about playing against the child. There has always been a saying in Hollywood, "Don't shoot animals and children", because animals and children are both difficult characters to control. Once animals and children join in the movie, the burden on the crew will increase exponentially. The so-called burden here not only refers to funds, but also refers to manpower, shooting time, etc.

Hugo looked at the small but calm child in front of him, and squatted down to keep his eyes parallel to the child. This is the most basic respect that adults show to their children. "I am Hugo Lancaster for the first time when I meet. I am very happy to know you." Hugo smiled and stretched out his right hand.

The child looked at Hugo seriously, with a look of vigilance and measurement, as if he wanted to see the sincerity in Hugo's sight. This reminded Hugo of a saying about children in the folk, "Children are the most sensitive, and they can sensitively feel the kindness and malice of others towards him."

Sure enough, the child looked at Hugo's warm smile, and then nodded, "You are a kind man. I'm very happy to know you. My name is Ross Maringer."

Ross's pretending to be a wise man made Hugo burst out laughing, "I can see that you are no stranger to acting." This can be seen from the child's boldness and direct face of strangers.

"Of course. This is my fourth movie, and I have also filmed two sets of episodes." Rose said with his hands in his waist, looking experienced, and he raised his chest.

"That's reassuring me. I have no experience in cooperating with my children before, and I am always worried that I will not perform well. Now it seems that maybe you can help me a lot." Hugo's honesty made everyone around me look surprised.

In fact, in Hugo's opinion, lying to children is unnecessary and unwise. Maybe they can't see through your lies, but they can feel the abnormality of things, which will make them feel rejection of you. For Hugo, he wants to play a father and son with Ross in the movie. Hugo is a person who has never really become a father, and his understanding of the father-son relationship is also very bad, so if Ross doesn't cooperate, the performance presented will be unconvincing. So Hugo chose to be honest.

Hugo came to Rose's ear in everyone's surprised eyes and whispered, "Also, I have never been a father in my life. I really have no experience in how to become a father. Can you help me?"

Ross waited for those innocent eyes to look at Hugo, and seemed to not quite understand why Hugo was talking to him, but Hugo showed a gentle smile and looked at Ross firmly. Then, Hugo saw Ross having a big smile, then hugged Hugo's neck and whispered in Hugo's ear, "Don't worry, just leave it to me."

Listening to Ross' tender voice, he expressed his determination with confidence, and his uneven teeth made him lose his voice, adding a lot of joy. But Hugo did not laugh because of the fun, but looked at Ross seriously and said softly, "Thank you!"

Then Hugo stood up and stretched out his right hand to Ross, "So, partner, can we go upstairs?" Ross raised his head and looked at the tall Hugo, then looked back at a smiling woman. This should be his mother. After getting permission, Ross placed his little hand in Hugo's wide palm.

Nora looked at this scene and gently patted Hugo on the shoulder, "It seems that you made good progress on the first day you arrived at the crew." Hugo smiled back, and then took Rose's hand and walked towards the elevator.

After arriving in Seattle, the crew did not start to operate immediately because Hugo had not read the script. He got the script and started reading that day. In addition, he also spent most of his time playing with Rose. Hugo seemed to be very childlike. He talked and laughed with Rose in less than two days and got along very well. One night, Rose fell asleep on Hugo's bed, but Hugo took Rose back to his mother's house and carefully placed Rose, who was still sleeping on the bed.

After this incident, everyone in the crew jokingly called Hugo a good father. I just don't know if it was limited to Ross or all children. But obviously, the very comfortable sunshine smell of Hugo is really attractive to children. The most important thing is that Hugo is willing to play with the children and does what he says, which makes Ross and Hugo quickly become good friends.

Originally, Hugo thought it would take time to do a hairstyle and set the style, but he didn't expect Nora to say directly, "Just follow your father's style as you imagine, based on your own idea of ​​your father's style. The crew did not prepare any costumes, and there was no need to set makeup for you."

Hugo looked at Nora, who was the manager in front of him, and was amused and crying, "Is the crew not enough funding? Otherwise, you can't do nothing." Of course, this was just Hugo's joke, he knew what Nora meant.

Sam was originally a widower, but after losing his wife, he was in a slump, so his hair and life were not planned and taken care of, and he fell into a relatively chaotic situation. This is normal. Hugo did this during the first audition, and now Nora has also brought Hugo's ideas to the big screen in its original form.

"The only requirement is that you don't cut your hair." Nora pointed to Hugo's hair that was almost at the tip of her eyebrows.

Hugo could only smile bitterly at this.
