Putting aside Hugo's mistake of being late, Aleger, as the drama manager, has the responsibility to keep the crew running normally, even if Hugo needs to be punished for being late, it is not Alleger's turn to execute, after all, Hugo is the first actor in the crew, and if the actor is 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 he was delayed by Alleger for a while, at least more than 20 minutes have passed, these things can be investigated, Hugo has no way to lie; So in this way, Hugo was actually less than five minutes late.

In short, it was Alleger who made a stalk from it, which delayed the crew's first script exercise, Hugo was certainly at fault, but Alleger as a drama agent is even more unforgivable. No wonder the actors in the entire conference room glared at Aleje.

Joseph listened to Hugo's words, and quietly completed the counterattack, not only sincerely admitting his mistake, but also making Alleger completely unable to refute, which made Joseph's depression in his heart release a little, but he still didn't show it, just lowered his head to show sincerity, and then looked at the stunned Alepje with the afterglow of his gaze.

Alleger is completely bitter now, and he is at a loss now, because what Hugo said is the truth, he wants to refute it again, but Rob directly interrupted him, "You can go out, the script practice is about to start now." Alepje stood motionless, but Jack was angry again, "If you put it off any longer, don't do today's practice at all." Then another assistant director kept giving Alleger a look, which made Alleger leave the conference room with a depressed and unwilling face.

Before leaving, Alleger still glared at Hugo fiercely, but Hugo turned his back to the door of the conference room and did not give him any response, and then the door of the conference room was slammed shut by Joseph, isolating Alleger mercilessly from the door.

"I'm really sorry for the inconvenience I've caused." Hugo walked briskly to the first position on Rob's right hand and sat down, while Joseph found an empty spot in the two rows of chairs against the wall in the conference room.

Jack glanced at Hugo, "If you have time to apologize, you might as well hurry up and read the script." ”

Hugo really looked at the man in front of him at this time, Jack is fifty-five years old this year, and the hairline of his forehead has been dragged back, revealing a full and broad forehead, and there are thin wrinkles on it that write the traces of time. In fact, Jack is not a handsome guy in the typical sense, his eyes are not sharp, and he does not have any special temperament, at this time he is wearing a simple lake blue shirt, without any decoration or embellishment, but on him, there is a quiet aura, as if he can grasp the whole scene in his hands.

At this point, Jack and Hugo are very similar to the Al they worked with not long ago, from Jack to Al and then to Stim Hoffman and Robert De Niro, in fact, they are not typical handsome guys, Al is very handsome, but unfortunately height is a fatal injury, and Robert meets many people's definition of a handsome guy, but compared to Tom, Brad, Hugo and other handsome guys, there is still a gap.

But all four of these acting masters have their own qualities, and the point is that they are also able to incorporate them into their performances to create classics. This is the real aura.

No wonder people joke that in fact, handsome guys are the same as beauties, it is not so easy to get academic recognition, open the Oscar history of the best actor winners, the proportion of handsome guys is really pitiful, far from it, just say that Al is like this, eight times before and after being shortlisted for the Oscars to fulfill a long-cherished wish, and the most famous in the 21st century is Leonardo, who Hugo met not long ago, this handsome guy's Oscar little golden man road can definitely be said to be a bumpy road.

Therefore, it is not so easy for Hugo to be recognized for his acting skills. Appearance is a stepping stone, but it can also be a stumbling block.

Sitting on Hugo's right hand is the movie heroine Demi Moore, who has been rolling in the entertainment industry for 12 years until 1990's "Ghost Love" ushered in her real career peak, which also made her salary reach the 8 million level in one fell swoop, and she is currently one of the top actresses.

There are many reasons why Demi took over the script of "Yihai Xiongfeng" this time, such as wanting to challenge a new role, for example, working with Tom and Jack will be interesting, but what Demi definitely didn't expect was that Hugo actually became the actor of the movie.

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

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

In the face of Jack's anger and Demi's coldness, Hugo did not make any more excuses, he quickly lowered his head and opened the script of "Yihai Xiongfeng" in front of him.

This is the first time Hugo has seen the script of a movie, and he is so unfamiliar with all the qiē that all the lines, all the scenes, all the characters have to start all over again. At this time, there was a group of people sitting next to the conference table, not only the three main characters Hugo, Jack, and Demi, but also a series of supporting characters, all of whom arrived at the scene for script practice. There had been some delay before, and they were waiting impatiently, and the whispers made the conference room seem a little dull and noisy.

"Then let's get started," said Jack, who was clearly unwilling to wait any longer.

Rob glanced at Hugo and cast an inquiring look. Hugo had just gotten the script and didn't understand anything, but he still gave Rob a confirmed look and said he was fine, and then Rob said, "Guantanamo, Daniel's first official visit to Colonel Jessup." ”

After Rob finished speaking, there was the sound of turning the page in the conference room, Hugo glanced at Demi's movements on the right hand, and quickly turned over, but because he was not familiar with the script, Hugo's movements were slower after all. But Demi saw Hugo's embarrassment, and did not intend to help, just sat quietly, fortunately Rob stretched out his right hand and helped Hugo turn to the exact number of pages, Hugo looked up and showed a smile to Rob to express his gratitude.

"Let's go." Rob gave the order, and then he heard Jack's calm and relaxed voice say, "Nathan Jessup, please come in." ”

Hugo was still looking for the specific location of the line, and he didn't react for a while, but he soon noticed the silence in the conference room, and couldn't help but look up, only to find that everyone was looking at him. Hugo secretly said in his heart: Could it be that he was the one who took the lines? Is......

On such occasions, especially if everyone didn't treat Hugo in the first place, no one would understand Hugo's situation, and there was only indifference and curiosity in his eyes. Joseph, who was sitting in the back, couldn't bear to look at it, and closed his eyes in frustration, once again regretting that he had gotten up late in the morning.

Hugo knew that successive apologies were ineffective, and no one would buy it. So this time he didn't speak, but relieved the embarrassment in the conference room with an apologetic smile, but fortunately, Hugo received a friendly look in the crowd, Hugo glanced at it, it was actually Kevin Bakken, Hugo once worked with him in the "small restaurant", which Hugo still remembers. Kevin sketched a smile at Hugo, and looked at the script in front of Hugo encouragingly, Hugo didn't have time to show it, so he could only return the smile, and then looked down at his script.

"Thank you, sir. I'm Daniel Coffey, Dawson and Dhoni's lawyer......" Hugo found the line and read it without pause, although this was the first time Hugo saw the line, but this paragraph was not difficult, so a whole line introduced to each other, although Hugo had a slightly slower pace, but fortunately there was no mistake.

"Is there anything we can do, Daniel?" Jack read the lines without any difficulty, and could clearly feel that the man in front of him was not Jack, but Colonel Jessup. Jack's ability to control acting skills is really admirable, and Hugo is still far from this level.

"Well, nothing, sir. It's just a matter of routine, the Judge Advocate General's request ...... Uh, sorry. "Hugo finally ate the screw, although this line is not long, but Hugo is not very familiar with it, and it is inevitable that there will be some stumbles in the process of reading," the Judge Advocate General's Department asked us to meet with all relevant witnesses. Hugo still finished the second half of the line.

The next line was originally Demi's line, but was directly interrupted by Jack, "Hugo," this impatient voice made everyone in the room focus their eyes again, "If you think that script exercises are just about saying the lines, then you are wrong." ”

Script practice is not only about reciting lines, but also an occasion for cultivating tacit understanding among actors, and even requires actors to have emotional dialogues in the roles.

Jack was obviously very dissatisfied with Hugo's slightly bland and stumbling line practice just now, and after he finished speaking, he put the script on the table, "Rest for half an hour before starting, so that even the practice will not be fruitful." After saying that, he stood up directly, turned and left the conference room.

Immediately afterwards, Demi also stood up and turned to leave, seeing that the two protagonists had left, and after getting Rob's consent, the other actors also stood up one after another. The silence and order of the conference room were interrupted in an instant, and no one cared about Hugo's feelings, just laughing and leaving the room.

Hugo looked at the fact that he had just gotten the script for less than five minutes, but he couldn't say anything to justify, so he could only eat coptis dumbly.
