The days that followed were calm, and nothing happened that night when we met Tracy, at least nothing happened that could affect the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women". However, Nicholas's crew visit published by the Los Angeles Times caused some discussion.
In this report, Nicholas slightly amplified Hugo's evaluation of the Golden Raspberry Award, believing that Hugo was "stand up for the Golden Raspberry Award". Nicholas's writing method of changing concepts easily aroused heated discussions among major media, and made the sales of the "Los Angeles Times" appear in a gratifying atmosphere, but it made everyone point their finger at Hugo again.
In fact, strictly speaking, Nicholas expressed a lot of appreciation for Hugo in the report this time, just to create a topic, which highlighted the focus. But this topic is very sensitive in the current atmosphere in 1992 - in other words, the Golden Raspberry Award has not been fully recognized by the public. The academics do not want to see the "worst male lead" being praised as a typical example.
Therefore, the topics of this discussion were clearly divided into two factions. One supported Hugo's view, believing that the Golden Berry Award is for entertainment of the public, and there is no need to be too serious. Further, including the Golden Globe Award, the Oscar, etc. are also one of the entertainment festivals. After all, this is the entertainment industry; the other faction believes that Hugo blurs the focus. The Golden Berry Award's method of entertainment of the public is to select the worst works every year, so the "worst" focus cannot be ignored. The final winner is the worst. This point cannot be ignored because of the entertainment attributes. Just like the Oscar is an entertainment festival, people will not deny its authority. This is a truth.
Regardless of whether Nicholas was kind or malicious, Hugo became popular again, which was beyond doubt. In addition, the attention received by "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" has also risen sharply. The crew is very happy about this. Martin also praised Hugo for a special praise, which made Hugo a little amused.
The filming process of "Smelling the Flavor and Knowing Women" was very smooth, and the scenes in New York soon came to an end. This scene is the most explosive scene in the entire film, and it is also the most difficult scene in the shooting scene in New York.
After Charlie and Lieutenant Colonel Sred arrived in New York, Charlie, who was anxious about the school affairs, was anxious to go back on the one hand, and on the other hand, he began to notice something was wrong with the lieutenant colonel, and then Charlie discovered the fact that the lieutenant colonel was planning to commit suicide. It turned out that the lieutenant colonel thought that his life was meaningless, so he planned to squander all his savings, then meet his own brother, and finally commit suicide. This made Charlie uneasy, but he could not convince the lieutenant colonel to change his mind, so he could only find a way to make the lieutenant colonel happy.
This scene is the scene where the lieutenant colonel decided to commit suicide. He sent Charlie away from the hotel suite, changed into his military uniform, and prepared to commit suicide by swallowing the gun. However, when Charlie walked to the hotel lobby, he realized the lieutenant colonel's intention and returned. Charlie tried to persuade the lieutenant colonel to hand over the pistol to him, but the stubborn lieutenant colonel was unwilling and even threatened to kill Charlie and then commit suicide. In desperation, Charlie could only risk using strong force to try to steal the lieutenant colonel's gun, which caused the two people to have physical conflicts, and all emotions reached their peak at this moment.
The first half of the persuasion scene was completed in one morning by Hugo and Al; but after that, the scene of physical conflict and emotional release encountered difficulties in shooting, and Hugo could not get into the state for a long time. At this time, the gap between Hugo and Al appeared.
If Hugo's opponent was an actor of a fair level at this time, then Hugo's performance would not have had much problem, but unfortunately, the two of them could not burst out enough sparks to support the excitement of the show. Now, Al's performance level is obviously several levels higher than Hugo. Al's entire performance is in control of the initiative, and Hugo's performance is immediately revealed. The lack of thickness and depth of performance looks pale and powerless in front of Al's explosive performance, which makes this best scene suddenly become boring.
"Card!" Martin's originally energetic voice had become extremely frustrated at this time, and he could even hear the anxiety hidden under his expression.
Facing Martin's shout, Hugo looked confused. Apart from saying "sorry", he didn't know what he should do. Even he could feel that the performance just now was really bad. I guess he would feel ashamed when he walked behind the monitor to watch.
"Hugo, you have to release all your emotions in your heart, do you know? The whole person exploded completely like a bomb." Not only Martin, but even Al was anxious. He spoke directly to explain the scene to Hugo. He had filmed seven times before this, two times because of Al's own problems, and the other five times were Hugo's performance that was not satisfactory.
The most important thing is that Hugo's mistake was not due to any unexpected factors, but was completely because of inadequate performance and he did not enter the role at all. This is the most troublesome thing.
Martin stood beside him with a bitter smile. He had already spoken to Hugo, but it seemed that he had not made much progress. "Hugo, you must cry, not pain or sad tears, but a kind of catharsis of emotions." Martin repeated again. In fact, he was a very peaceful and friendly person, but at this moment, Martin couldn't help but become impatient.
In fact, Martin believes in Hugo's strength. Putting aside the excellence during the audition, Martin also knew that Hugo's potential was very rich after filming during this period, but now Hugo doesn't know what way to present it. This is the biggest problem. He always feels that Hugo is a little bit short of it, not talent or effort, but it should be said to be an opportunity or a little inspiration. This is what makes Martin the most depressed: he doesn't have time to wait for Hugo to slowly brew inspiration.
Hugo faced the bombardment of Al and Martin, and he was helpless. When the director called him "locked" three times in a row, Hugo felt guilty. The more he paused, the more nervous he felt inside would accumulate. At this time, Hugo truly understood the hard work of the actor's profession.
It is actually not difficult to become a vase. It is not that hard to become a qualified actor, but it is a long and difficult process to become an excellent actor. Hugo is now walking on this thorny road. This is just the first level, which has already made Hugo sweat.
At this time, the staff at the scene showed more or less absent-minded expressions. For them, the process of filming was put on hold, which means that working hours must be extended today. This is not good news, and no one wants to do so. However, everyone is an old fry who has been on the crew all year round, and it is no wonder about this kind of thing. However, when the object is Hugo, it seems more and more ridiculous.
Who is Hugo? I believe that recently everyone will be given the title of "The Worst Actor of the Golden Raspberry Award", and even add a "Thank you for the Scream" full of jokes and ridicule as the prefix to express his disdain for Hugo. Such an actor has no acting skills and no box office appeal. Not only is the production company not welcomed, but the film crew is not welcomed: because this will seriously affect the quality of the movie - and the filming progress of the movie.
When Hugo joined the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women", as the media said: No one is optimistic about his prospects. Because Hugo has disappointed people three times in a row, the fourth time seems to be not far away. What's more, Hugo is facing Al Pacino this time. Al's outstanding acting skills will only make Hugo look even more embarrassed.
The results of this scene now prove that the media's concerns are correct. Hugo is indeed vulnerable in front of Al, which seriously affects the shooting progress. Although the scene has only been filmed seven times so far, it has been wasted three hours. The crew has made almost no progress throughout the morning. They just stayed in the luxurious suite of the Waldorf Assault Hotel, repeatedly watching Hugo collapse in front of the camera.
In fact, the crew of "Smelling the Flavor and Knowing Women" has no rejection of Hugo, because Hugo is not the male lead, Al is. As a supporting role, Hugo's influence on the crew is very weak, and the crew staff may not be dissatisfied with Hugo, at most it is just gossip. What's more, after joining the crew, Hugo's optimistic and cheerfulness quickly became a part of the crew, which also made Hugo do a good job in the crew.
But today is different. Hugo is not an ordinary person, but an actor who is working, but he has not done his job well. Because of his own mistakes, it has affected the progress of the entire crew. In this case, even friends are inevitably complaining, let alone they are working partners in cooperative relationships.
The staff couldn't help but remember Hugo's previous bad record. Not only did he ruin three movies, he also made a big ugly appearance at the Golden Raspberry Awards. "Oh, it seems that this bad performance is no coincidence."
"Just get used to it, I guess I'll spend all day here today."
"He is a good person as an ordinary person, but as an actor..."
"God knows how Martin and Allen chose him, is there any inside story?"
"Oh, I'm so annoyed. I've been stuck in the room and just watched him make stupid mistakes there... I think Martin is going to scold him for a while, so I go out to smoke a cigarette.
"I'll go too", "and me"...
The sounds of the staff were floating intermittently into Hugo's ears. Although the staff did not scold him, there was no doubt about his work ability and acting skills. However, Hugo had no intention of responding to the staff's words at this moment, because Al and Martin in front of him were completely disappointed and were guiding Hugo with great thoughts, hoping to bring Hugo to the right path and complete the filming of the scene smoothly. Hugo must withdraw his attention and focus on the speculation of the scene.
But, he was really in a state... his brain was almost blank.
