Run, run, run...... After Hugo ran back and forth seven times, he couldn't help but start gasping for breath, don't underestimate this scene, Hugo's seven runs not only need to run, but also need to keep sprinting, and at the same time cooperate with the lines, the difficulty is definitely not to be underestimated.

But the shooting is not over, Jane still needs to shoot from different angles of the interior of the carriage, presenting the picture from the perspective of the passengers, so Hugo still has to keep running.

Hugo remembers that after the release of "Transformers 2" in 2009, the heroine Megan Fox was blunt in an interview, saying that director Michael Bay (Michael). Bay) was a tyrant and even compared him to Adolf Hi. Special. Strangle. At the time, Meghan said that she was shooting twelve hours on the set of the movie, and the whole time she was constantly running, running aimlessly and endlessly, which made her almost collapse.

At that time, many people couldn't agree with Meghan's opinion, thinking that Meghan was playing a big name, and after relying on the "Transformers" series to become famous, she went to war with the director head-on.

But in fact, as long as the audience who has watched "Transformers 2" will remember that the male and female protagonists are indeed running continuously in the movie, and even the lines are only a handful, from the beginning to the end. This is indeed an extreme challenge for the actor's body.

And Hugo now has a deep understanding of this feeling, although he doesn't run as much as Meghan, but in order to shoot this scene, Hugo has been running continuously for nearly an hour, mainly because Hugo has to adjust his breathing and put into filming with a high-spirited appearance, and he can't always show a panting, sweaty Jack chasing the bus, which not only damages the image of the hero, but also does not conform to the plot setting of the movie. Therefore, Hugo often shoots twice, rests and adjusts his breathing, but does not have enough time to fully recover, and then continues to run.

This method is very physically demanding. In comparison with running a marathon, athletes need to maintain a uniform rhythm to run, which can reduce the consumption of the body to a minimum, and then when it is necessary to break out, there is enough energy to burst out; The consumption of variable speed running, rapid running and emergency stopping is exponentially increased, which is also the reason why the fixed-point speed change switchback running becomes "suicide" in basketball training.

Hugo is like this now, acceleration stop, acceleration, adjustment, acceleration acceleration, stop, adjustment...... This kind of cycle means that Hugo cannot find an accurate rhythm, and often has to play again when the body is not fully recovered.

After forty-five minutes, Hugo only felt that the air inhaled by his lungs had become hot, and the physical labor of testing his body was definitely not easy compared to the mental work of testing his acting skills.

"Cards!" Jane's voice came again, "Okay, rest for thirty minutes and prepare for the filming of the next scene." Jane finally ended Hugo's torment, which made Hugo breathe a long sigh of relief.

The next scene is a drag racing scene, which is relatively simple, because the so-called drag racing here is not simply speed, but Hugo driving a sports car to chase the bus, but in the dense traffic, the speed is not too fast at all; And after catching up with the bus, the task of the sports car is also to block the bus, not to compete for speed.

But compared to the scene just now, the next scene is what worries Joseph, he will not forget Jì, Hugo's fear of driving, this is not a physical reason, but a psychological fear, Hugo has no way to drive by himself, and he can't erase the bad memory of the car accident. Therefore, Joseph came to the set early, just worried about the filming of the next scene.

Watching Hugo pacing back and forth on the highway with no one and no car, adjusting his breathing, Samora stood next to him with a kettle, towel and other utensils, ready to serve Hugo at any time. Although the forty-five minutes of running at different speeds just now made Hugo's physical function reach an extreme, the actual running time is estimated to be twenty-five minutes, and half of it is making adjustments, so the most important thing is muscle soreness, and the body consumption is not as strict as imagined.

Hugo paced back and forth, doing leg presses to relax, keeping the muscles of the body hot and relaxing little by little. The previous period of physical training finally showed its power at this point, and although Hugo felt that his lungs were breathing very hot, he still persevered, and he could clearly feel the slow recovery of his physical energy.

Joseph stood in place and sorted out his thoughts, walked up with hesitant steps, looked at Hugo who was warming up, but Joseph didn't know how to speak, because in the past two years or so, Hugo had never mentioned the car accident, and every time he was involved in driving problems, Hugo was also a brush-by, and he didn't want to mention it too much. Now, Joseph was about to mention this matter suddenly, and he also found it very tricky, so he could only stand there and look at Hugo with a faint concern.

Hugo was stretching his thigh muscles, and soon noticed Joseph's gaze - not to pay attention, Joseph was full of worry, and Samora was standing next to him for unknown reasons. Hugo didn't think much about it, and asked directly, "What's wrong?" ”

Joseph gritted his teeth and said, "In the next scene, you need to drive, you ...... No problem? ”

Hugo's stretching movement stiffened, but he quickly recovered and continued to move his muscles, but he was a little absent-minded.

Driving was really a hurdle in Hugo's heart, not only for Hugo, but also for Lancaster, and every time he thought of sitting in the driver's seat, even if it was just imagination, the pain in his left knee would come to his heart piercing, making him palpitate for a while. Hugo knew that this was the result of the psychological shadow of the car accident being too strong, but knowing the root cause of the disease did not mean that he could overcome it, it was not poison. This is the fear that comes from the depths of the soul and from the moment of life and death.

Hugo closed his eyes, and the fear of the darkness enveloped him in an instant. Hugo knew that in a "country on wheels", not being able to drive was really deadly, and he had already crossed the United States back and forth, but he never managed to sit in the driver's seat. It is a condition that may require a psychiatrist to treat, but ...... Hugo is now reluctant to even face it.

When he first took over the filming of "Life and Death", Hugo hesitated for a moment, but then he agreed because he remembered that Jack did not drive in the movie - it was Sandra's Anne who drove the bus. That's why he took it without any psychological obstacles, but now it seems that Hugo's memory is still a little vague and he missed the next scene. Although it was only a short scene, Hugo did need to be in the driver's seat.

Hugo took a deep breath and opened his eyes, seeing the worry in Joseph's eyes, while Samora, who was standing next to him, frowned as if he didn't understand. Samora didn't really understand what was going on, but after hearing Joseph's concern about "driving" and Hugo's stagnation, Samora also realized that Hugo seemed to have a problem with driving.

With a brief recollection, Samora realized that Hugo had never driven a car during his previous road trips and during his last few months of work. Originally, Samora thought that it was because of Hugo's poor sense of direction, so everyone did not allow Hugo to drive. But that doesn't seem to be the case now.

"I've talked to Jane about this scene, because there are a lot of scenes of walking through the traffic, and then you need to chase the bus, and it is best to need a professional to do it, so it will be done by a professional double." In fact, since a few days ago, Hugo has been worried about this scene, and if he can, he is willing to go into battle in person, absolutely; But driving...... He really can't help it. Therefore, Hugo also had a discussion with Jane and had a preliminary idea of this scene, "Moreover, there are some scenes that require dialogue and side-by-side driving, and for the sake of filming, we will finish filming on a trailer." ”

The so-called trailer is to put the sports car and the bus on two trailers, and the trailer will complete the scene of running forward, while the actors need to complete the dialogue and performance. This is also a necessary measure to avoid traffic accidents.

"But what about close-ups and close-ups?" Joseph knew that the problem was not that simple, and that there would definitely be some close-up shots of the front of Hugo driving, and it would not be possible to use all stand-ins.

Hugo fell silent, gritting only his teeth, "I, I can try." Having said that, just thinking about it, Hugo felt that his brain was dark, and that chilling feeling made the sweat behind his back instantly turn cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the boundless blood began to swallow the darkness, the screeching sound of the tires rubbing against the ground when braking, the roar and explosion of the car when it overturned, all the noise swarmed in an instant, completely swallowing him, and the muscles of his body began to tremble.

Hugo opened his eyes in panic, and the bright sunlight around him made Hugo gasp for breath, although he was still uneasy and messy, but after all, he was a little calmer.

Hugo fell silent, standing still, and neither Joseph nor Samora spoke. Joseph looked at Hugo's state and knew that Hugo couldn't drive, absolutely not, which made Joseph a little annoyed, knowing that he should have pushed the script of "speed of life and death" at the beginning. But Joseph knew that this was impossible, when Hugo was in charge of leaving the "speed of life and death", their relationship was still very tense, if Joseph pushed the script that Hugo liked again, maybe it would not be so simple for the two to release their suspicions.

But even so, Joseph felt a little annoyed.

Hugo seemed to be in a bit of a daze, and he took a deep breath, "I'll go over and contact the preparation team, it's just behind." After saying that, he exchanged glances with Joseph and Samora in a panic, and then turned to leave.

Joseph and Samora stood in place, watching Hugo's back as he left, at a loss, Samora wanted to catch up, but Joseph stopped him, and then shook his head, "Let him calm down." Joseph thought about it and decided that he would like to talk to Jane and see if there was a way to do it with a trailer as well.
