079 Script exercises

Putting aside Hugo's mistake of being late, Alje, as a drama business, has the responsibility to make the crew run normally. Even if Hugo is late and needs to be punished, it is not Alje's turn to execute it. After all, Hugo is the first male lead in the crew. If the actors are to be replaced, it will naturally be decided by the producer.

Listen to Hugo's statement just now, although he was late, he was delayed in the studio for a while - he apologized to the staff, and then was delayed by Alje for a while. At least twenty minutes had passed, and these things could be investigated, and Hugo had no way to lie; then in this way, Hugo was actually less than five minutes late.

In short, it was Alje that interfered with it, which seriously delayed the crew's first script practice. Although Hugo was wrong, Alje was even more unforgivable as a drama. No wonder the actors in the entire conference room glared at Alje.

When Joseph listened to Hugo's words, he quietly completed the counterattack. Not only did he sincerely admit his mistake, but he also made Alerge unable to refute it at all. This made Joseph's depressed servant slightly release the depression in his heart, but he still did not show it. He just lowered his head to express sincerity, and then looked at Alerge with his eyes wide open.

Alger was completely indescribable now, and he was unable to argue now, because Hugo was telling the truth, so he wanted to refute it again, but Robert interrupted him directly, "You can go out, the script practice is about to begin now." Alger stood there motionless, but Jack got angry again, "If you postpone it, don't do today's practice." Then another deputy director kept winking at Alger, which made Alger leave the conference room with a look of depressed and unwilling look.

Before leaving, Alerje glared at Hugo fiercely, but Hugo turned his back to the conference room door without giving him any response. Then the conference room door was "slammed" by Joseph, and Alerje was isolated outside the door without mercy.

"I'm really sorry for the inconvenience I caused." Hugo quickly walked to the first position on Robert's right and sat down, while Joseph found an empty seat among the two rows of chairs against the wall of the conference room.

Jack glanced at Hugo, "If you have time to apologize, you might as well read the script as soon as possible."

Hugo only really looked at the man in front of him. Jack is fifty-five years old this year. His forehead hairline has been dragged back seriously, revealing his plump and wide forehead. There are fine wrinkles on it, writing the traces of time. In fact, Jack is not a typical handsome guy. His eyes are not sharp and he has no special temperament. At this time, he is wearing a simple lake blue shirt without any decoration or embellishment, but on him, he has a silent aura, as if he can hold the whole scene in his hands.

In this regard, Jack and Hugo have worked with Al not long ago are very similar. From Jack to Al, to Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro, they are not typical handsome guys. Al is very handsome, but unfortunately his height is a fatal injury. Robert fits the definition of handsome guys by many people, but there is still a gap compared to handsome guys like Tom, Brad, and Hugo.

However, these four acting masters all have their own traits. The point is that they can also integrate this trait into their performances to create classics. This is the real aura.

No wonder people joke that handsome guys are like beautiful women, and it is not easy to get academic recognition. When you look at the winners of the Oscar history, the proportion of handsome guys is really pitifully small. Not to mention the distance, just Al is just like this. He won the Oscar eight times and fulfilled his long-cherished wish. The most famous person in the 21st century is Leonardo, who Hugo met not long ago. This handsome guy's Oscar-Little Golden Man's journey can definitely be said to be bumpy.

Therefore, it is not that easy for Hugo to gain recognition in acting. Appearance is a stepping stone, but it can also be a stumbling block.

Sitting on Hugo's right hand is the heroine of the movie Demi Moore. Demi, who has been in the entertainment industry for twelve years, did not reach her true career peak until the "human and ghost relationship" in 1990, which also made her pay reach the 8 million level in one fell swoop. She is one of the top actresses at present.

There are many reasons why Demi took over the script of "Yihai Xiongfeng" this time, such as challenging a brand new character, such as collaborating with Tom and Jack, would be very interesting, but what Demi definitely did not expect was that Hugo actually became the protagonist of the movie.

It is worth mentioning that there are two or three things that Hugo and Bruce Willis have to say. Tracy gave up Bruce and chose Hugo to shoot "Hudson Eagle". Although the movie failed, Bruce still had a knot in his heart. And Demi is Bruce's wife.

Therefore, it is not difficult to find the reason for Demi's indifferent and repulsive eyes at this moment.

Facing Jack's anger and Demi's coldness, Hugo did not make any excuses. He quickly lowered his head and turned on the script of "Yihai Xiongfeng" in front of him.

This was the first time Hugo saw the script of a movie. He was so unfamiliar with everything. All lines, scenes and all characters had to start over. At this time, a group of people sat next to the conference table, not only Hugo, Jack, and Demi, but also a series of supporting characters. They all arrived at the scene for script practice. They had been delayed for some time before, and they were a little impatient when they were waiting. The whispers made the conference room look a little dull and noisy.

"Then let's start," Jack spoke, who obviously didn't want to wait any longer.

Rob looked at Hugo and gave him a questioning look. Hugo had just got the script and didn't understand anything, but he still gave Robert a confirmation look and said that he was fine. Then Rob said, "Guantanamo, Daniel officially met with Colonel Jessip for the first time."

After Robert finished speaking, a sound of page turning came from the conference room. Hugo glanced at Demi's movements on his right hand and quickly turned over. However, because he was not familiar with the script, Hugo's movements were slower after all. However, when Demi saw Hugo's embarrassment, she did not intend to help, but just sat quietly. Fortunately, Rob stretched out his right hand and helped Hugo turn the exact page count. Hugo looked up and smiled at Rob to express his gratitude.

"Start." Robert gave the order, and then he heard Jack say calmly and relaxedly, "Nathan Jassip, please come in."

Hugo was still looking for the specific line location, but he didn't react for a while, but he soon noticed the silence in the conference room. He couldn't help but look up and realized that everyone was looking at him. Hugo thought to himself: Could it be that he was the one who answered the line? It's really...

In such occasions, especially when everyone didn't like Hugo, no one would understand Hugo's situation, and all they had indifference and curiosity in their eyes were coldness and curiosity. Joseph, who was sitting behind, couldn't bear to look at it, closed his eyes in annoyance, and once again expressed regret for his late morning.

Hugo knew that continuous apology was ineffective and no one would buy it. So this time he did not speak up, but used an apology smile to relieve the embarrassment in the conference room. Fortunately, Hugo received a friendly gaze in the crowd. Hugo glanced at it and it turned out to be Kevin Becken. Hugo had worked with him for a "small restaurant". Hugo still remembered this. Kevin outlined a smile at Hugo and read the script in front of Hugo with encouragement. Hugo didn't have any extra time to express it. He could only repay a smile, and then looked down at his script.

"Thank you, sir. I am Daniel Kefi, Dawson and Doni's lawyer..." Hugo found the line and read it without any pause. Although this was the first time Hugo saw the line, this paragraph was not difficult, so for a whole line that introduced each other, Hugo's rhythm was a little slower, but fortunately there was no mistake.

"What can we serve, Daniel?" Jack made no mistakes and read the lines without any difficulty. He could clearly feel that the man in front of him was not Jack, but Colonel Jessip. Jack's ability to control his acting skills is indeed admirable. Hugo is still a long way from this level.

"Uh, nothing, sir. It's just a routine matter. The Director of the Military Law Department asked... Uh, sorry." Hugo finally ate the screws. Although this line was not long, Hugo was not very familiar with it, and he was inevitably a little bumpy in the process of reading it. "The Director of the Military Law Department asked us to meet all relevant witnesses." Hugo still finished reading the second half of the line.

The next sentence was originally Demi's line, but it was interrupted by Jack. "Hugo," this impatient voice made everyone in the conference room focus again, "If you think script practice is just saying the lines, you are wrong."

The practice of scripts is not just about memorizing lines, but also a situation for cultivating actors' tacit understanding. The actors even need to act in the role to have emotional conversations. Although there is no camera shooting, there is not much difference between the actor's status and the formal shooting.

Jack was obviously very dissatisfied with Hugo's slightly dull and stumbling lines just now. After he finished speaking, he put the script on the table and said, "Let's start after half an hour, so even if the practice is done, there will be no result." After saying that, he stood up and turned around and left the conference room.

Immediately afterwards, Demi also stood up and turned away. Seeing that both protagonists had left, and after receiving Rob's consent, the other actors also stood up one after another. The quiet and orderly conference room was interrupted in an instant. No one cared about Hugo's feelings, but just left the conference room with a chat and laughter.

Hugo saw that she had just obtained the script that was less than five minutes long, but she couldn't say anything about her defense, so she could only eat coptis chinensis.
