Chapter 689 689 Serious and dedicated
Leonardo, Boyd and Samora were eating potato chips while watching the discussion between Hugo and Jane and Ian. At this time, Hugo and Jane had an argument. Both of them seemed a little excited. They were arguing, and Leonardo pointed his chin, "It seems that Jane did not agree."
Boyd didn't find it strange at all, "He has to think about the entire crew." In fact, the details that Hugo just noticed just now were just a physical and physical detail. It was presented in the movie, which might be a flash of pictures in half a second. Even because the audience was focusing on the explosion, they would not notice it, so of course Jane was unwilling to let the biggest actors in the entire crew take risks for this scene.
"But don't you think Hugo is very convincing?" Leonardo said seriously. After finishing the potato chips in his hand, Samora handed over the bag again. The big bag of potato chips reached in, and two-thirds of his little arms disappeared, so he could hold on for a long time.
Samora looked at the smile Leonardo showed at him, and he also curled his lips and said, "Hugo has always been very convincing. He is a very principled person. When he intends to convince the other party, he must have already made a decision, so it is not easy to reject him." Although Samora didn't know what Leonardo and the others were discussing, she subconsciously participated in the topic together.
Boyd couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, I just think Hugo is very convincing, so I can't say no to him." Boyd looked at the potato chip bag handed over by Samora, raised his left hand, and signaled that he had some more. His snacks were much slower. "Although it was only a half second or a second, it had a great impact on the audience. After all, the audience followed the male protagonist's figure and observed things. If the male protagonist's movements stagnated, it would have a huge impact on the audience's viewing effect. Only when the male protagonist didn't know that the bomb was about to explode, the audience would really not know."
In the long history of the film, there are countless excellent works, but not many classics. From the breakthrough point of the excellent works to the classics, many times, there are some small details that are not noticed, which will affect the entire viewing effect and viewing experience. The performance of actors, the writing of scripts, the shooting of directors, the compilation of soundtracks... are all like this.
Leonardo and Samora stood beside each other and nodded involuntarily to express their agreement, but Samora suddenly felt a little strange, "Wait, you just said the explosion? What's wrong with the hero's actions?"
"Hugo said that after the bomb detonated, he should have continued to move forward two steps due to inertia, which is the most reasonable." Boyd explained simply, and then he saw Samora's expression frozen in an instant. With a "click", the potato chips in his mouth were bitten off, but this time he did not chew it immediately, but stood there blankly, as if he was planning to contain the potato chips like eating candy.
"What!" Samora's shocking roar immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him, and the blasting team even complained, "Hey, someone is setting up a bomb here!" Even Hugo and Jane, who were arguing, couldn't help but look over.
Samora then realized that she didn't want the potato chips, and stuffed them to Leonardo, and quickly ran towards Hugo, "Hugo, this is a bomb, this is a bomb!" Samora didn't know what to say, so she could only repeat the word "bomb".
At this time, Leonardo also stuffed the potato chips to Boyd and ran over immediately. Boyd held the potato chips in his hand and thought about them, but he followed with the potato chips.
Hugo looked at Samora with a worried look, and Leonardo and Boyd who were following him, and instead laughed, "Hey, hey, guys, I don't have the tendency to be masochistic, okay?" Hugo suddenly flew over, which made everyone stunned, and then a black line appeared on his forehead. Some staff members next to him couldn't help laughing, "I'm also worried about being injured. God, I'm the one who may be injured, okay? I'm afraid of pain, so I don't want to see any bleeding and injury scenes."
Hugo's explanation made Samora, Jane and others calm down a little, "I just think that a little bit of detail changes will create a better effect without hurting myself, so why not? Guys, even if you agree and do this, I will rehearse again and again, then confirm that it is safe and then put into the shooting. Don't worry, if it is really dangerous, I probably run faster than anyone else."
Hugo's words made everyone chuckled. The question that seemed very serious was immediately filled with joy when Hugo teased this way, but Samora still frowned. He didn't know much about the film industry, but one thing he knew very well: action movies are easy to get hurt, which is why many actors have stand-ins. "I don't understand why you have to play in person. Isn't there still stand-ins?" Samora heard that top brands can ask for stand-ins to appear.
Samora's words made the staff members next to them a little embarrassed. In action movies, the use of stand-ins is necessary, because there are many professional moves that ordinary people cannot complete, including racing, explosions, high-altitude fights, etc. The movie Superman just exists on the big screen and does not exist in life. However, if the stand-ins are used in large quantities, the camera cannot take the front face, which has a great impact on the authenticity of the movie.
Therefore, most directors hope that the actors will take part in the right situation. The situations that the actors can handle but require the substitute to act is actually a manifestation of undedication. After all, the substitute has a meager salary, but has completed the most difficult work for those big-name actors who have paid millions of dollars and risked their lives.
"Samora, don't worry, there are many scenes that need their help, I'm not omnipotent." Hugo said with a smile without hesitation, "Today's scene is just a difference that can be taken one step further, and I can complete it myself. Why bother others? What's more, the reason why I took one step more is to create inertial movements of the body's instinctive body and emphasize the sense of reality, but I end up using a substitute to complete it. So what's the point of this step?"
Hugo knew that everyone was worried about him, but in fact, the person involved was the one who was most afraid of him. He also knew very clearly that this was an explosion, a dangerous thing that would be missing if he accidentally lost his arms and legs. Although he had traveled through time once, it would be equivalent to dying once, he still didn't want to end this magical experience so early, so he cherished this life more than anyone else, and he knew more than anyone else what he was doing now.
"Besides, aren't I going to tie my Wia around? I'm creating the effect of being blown away by the shock wave, so if you don't let me run too far along with inertia, wouldn't you?" Hugo added, "Don't forget that the bulletproof vest on my body is also real, and it's one of the protective pads."
Because the bomb is not powerful enough, it is naturally impossible to create the effect of Hugo and Leonardo being blown away. Therefore, during shooting, Hugo will tie the Wia around its waist. After the bomb is detonated, the Wia operator will pull Hugo up and then pull back along the track on the ceiling to create the scene where Hugo is blown away by the bomb and hit the wall.
I have to say that Hugo is indeed a very convincing person. After listening to his additional instructions, everyone became quiet, and even Samora had nothing to say.
After struggling for a while, Jane finally nodded in agreement, "You go and do rehearsal exercises, make sure you don't have any problems with your steps. If you are injured, our entire crew will not be able to afford your medical expenses."
After obtaining permission, Hugo immediately jumped up excitedly, and then pulled Boyd to start the rehearsal. Hugo had to ensure his progress and pace frequency to make sure that he could finally stop within the safe range. At the same time, the Wiya operators also had a discussion with the blasting team to confirm that their detonation bombs and the rhythm of starting Wiya were consistent, so that they could present the effect of real explosion to the greatest extent, while ensuring that Hugo's safety would not have any problems.
Rehearsals are often even more important than actual shooting.
Samora watched Hugo start rehearsal in full swing. He knew that he could not stop Hugo and was no longer in the mood to eat snacks. He thought about it and immediately called Joseph and told the situation worriedly. Without any hesitation, Joseph drove to Burbank's studio from Constellation Avenue.
When Joseph arrived at the studio, Hugo and the Blasting Team were still performing rehearsals, while Jane led the camera team to arrange the camera position. They only had one chance and had to complete the shooting at one time, so the entire crew was like a high-speed machine without any slackness.
Samora looked at Joseph uneasyly, "You're not going to talk to Hugo?"
Joseph pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, "Look at him," Samora's eyes also turned to Hugo who was devoted to his whole body. "When he devoted himself to work, no one could convince him." Joseph really couldn't understand this, just like during the filming of "Schindler's List", even though Hugo was so hard that he was about to destroy himself, even if Hugo drank until he vomited, no one could stop him. Hugo's dedication and concentration were important factors in his success.
However, although Joseph understood this, he still had no way to rest assured that he had to arrive at the scene as a broker or friend to participate in this dangerous work together. In the company, Nicholas Cage, who had just arrived, was left in the conference room by him.
