Nicholas suddenly felt that what Austin had just said was probably the truth: Hugo had really encouraged Brian. Because the two fifteen-year-old paparazzi in front of me are really interesting.

Hearing Nicholas's question, both Austin and Brian fell into deep thought.

Brian suddenly thought of something, raised his head and looked in the direction of Hugo again, and looked carefully at the person Hugo was talking to, and then his eyes lit up, "Actually, Hugo is also preparing for the shooting, right?" ”

Nicholas raised an eyebrow slightly, "What do you say?" ”

As if encouraged, Brian immediately said, "Hugo had a conversation with Morgan, then a brief conversation with David, and now he has been talking to Andrew for a long time. On the one hand, Hugo is dealing with the crew, and we all know that if the crew can produce tacit understanding or even sparks, it will be twice the result with half the effort for filming......"

Nicholas was somewhat surprised by Brian's acumen, but Brian hadn't said it all. Joseph and Samora aren't just handing out coffee, either. The staff will not lack a cup of coffee, and the power of just a cup of coffee is not enough to win over the crew, the two of them are now actually dealing with all aspects of the crew, so that strangers who have just joined the crew quickly become familiar with each other, and enliven the atmosphere of the crew.

"On the other hand," Brian's speculation continues, "Hugo was exchanging ideas with his partners and sharing their views on the role, which was another way of preparing for the performance." You see, Hugo and Andrew had such a good chat. Andrew Kevin Walker, the writer of "The Seven Deadly Sins."

"What if they're just exchanging pleasantries?" Nicholas's rhetorical question made Brian stunned, indeed, no one knew what Hugo and Andrew were talking about, it was possible that they were just chatting about some interesting things.

Looking at Brian's expression, Nicholas smiled contentedly, "Believe me, Hugo always knew what he was doing, and on the surface it seemed that he was not preparing, but he had his own method, which was much more effective than what Brad deliberately made a joke about." ”

Nicholas once had an in-depth interview with the crew of "Schindler's List", and he also had a new understanding of Hugo's dedication. In many cases, Hugo used guò to communicate with different people to build his own blueprint for the character. For example, in the character of Amon Goss, in fact, Hugo just sat next to a group of Jews, quietly listened to their chat, and did not ask questions, but it was precisely from those small talk that seemed to have nothing to do with the character that Hugo built the environment and atmosphere at that time, and then shaped the character.

It can be said that Hugo's preparation method is also like his performance style, delicate and profound, free and easy, and often the character's characteristics are rooted in the mind before the audience realizes it.

In Nicholas's opinion, Brad was obviously arranged by his agent to deliberately show the on-site staff; But Hugo was clearly preparing in his own way.

Taking a step back, character preparation is not a matter of urgency, and now it is completely temporary. What were you doing in the time leading up to filming? Now there is less than half an hour left before the start-up ceremony, and it is really too deliberate to make serious preparations.

However, it must be admitted that many times superficial efforts can often confuse most people.

"I'm going to go over and interview Hugo, do you want to go together?" Nicholas saw the belated James and knew that there was no need to observe here secretly, so he asked casually, but the two little ones cheered excitedly, which made Nicholas very helpless.

James was negotiating with the staff, saying that he wanted to go over and interview Hugo first, and after the staff confirmed James's interview card, he said that he would ask Hugo or his manager before he knew. James just stood there and waited, and when he looked back, he saw Nicholas and the two oil bottles behind him, "What's going on?" ”

Nicholas had a calm and breezy look, "A news clue." ”

James was stunned, "Whose illegitimate child?" This reaction was exchanged for a wide eye from Nicholas.

"Hey, Hugo!" Brian's excited voice trembled from behind him, and James and Nicholas looked up to see Hugo with a smile on his face.

"God, God, God......" Austin's excited voice seemed very happy at this time, and James couldn't help but look back again.

"Guys, I think there's a little bit more to the press conference." Hugo saw that it was a familiar face, and his expression was relatively relaxed, but before Nicholas or James could answer, Brian behind him jumped out, "Mr. Lancaster, Mr. Lancaster...... Do you remember me? ”

"You ......" Hugo took Brian's right hand, his expression was a little struggling, he felt that the young man in front of him was really familiar, but he couldn't remember anything. Face blindness is really embarrassing.

"Last November, Burbank, you came to visit Cameron Diaz's class?" Brian popped up in a series of words, and Hugo thought carefully, "Aha! Are you the ...... Very young, very young paparazzi! ”

"Yes, I'm officially a professional paparazzi now, and this is my good friend, Austin Viczedeck." Brian jumped up and down and yelled, barely screaming.

Looking at the scene in front of him, James glanced at Nicholas in surprise, but Nicholas innocently raised his hands, indicating that he had nothing to do with this qiē.

After the introduction, Brian didn't care about taking care of his friend who was still in a state of aphasia when he was overly excited, and immediately asked excitedly, "May I ask if you were chatting with the screenwriter and director just now, are you talking about the character?" Brian threw out the question just now.

"Oh, no, no." Hugo shook his head repeatedly, "We were just chatting about being surrounded by reporters today." In fact, Hugo, Andrew, and Morgan still talked about the script and the characters, after all, this is the work of building their bridges. But Hugo didn't intend to tell the reporters in front of him, not even friends.

Brian looked a little disappointed, and his eyes fell on Brad not far away. Brad also looked at it at this time, and he wasn't looking at the script at all, and when he noticed Brian's gaze, Brad withdrew his gaze in a bit of a panic. Brian couldn't help but pout, and sure enough! If you really put your heart and soul into the preparation of the script, you will definitely not be so easily distracted!

Nicholas was much calmer than Brian, and asked directly, "Now it seems that the competition has begun, are you ready?" ”

Hugo laughed out loud, "Isn't competition always there?" Hugo, of course, knew that Nicholas was alluding to Brad, but what he said was also true, this is Hollywood, and even if it wasn't Brad, there would be other competitors. For Hugo, he is not afraid of competition, but he will not lose his direction for the sake of competition, and he always remembers that being himself is the first and most important thing. If your performance doesn't complete the task, even if you don't have a competitor, you still fail.

James was relieved, he could feel his strong confidence in Hugo's tone, even in the face of Brad's menacing, Hugo still seemed calm.

"Can you tell us why you chose this work?" James asked, "I'm sure you should have a lot of choices, and out of so many scripts, did you choose the 'Seven Deadly Sins' because of what features did you like about it?" ”

Hugo didn't answer directly, but his eyes widened, "You have already started the opening ceremony in advance." One sentence made James laugh too, "Of course, it's because this script is good enough, and I like this script, so I took it." ”

"But you didn't play the lead role in the play, did you?" Since the current assignment of movie roles is still a fog, Brian also seemed a little hesitant when he asked questions, and stopped halfway through his words.

The latter words were taken over by Nicholas, "Everyone is guessing about your role, what kind of role is it?" 'Not the heaviest role', then is it a tie for the lead actor or a supporting actor? The previous news was reported by the Los Angeles Times, but Nicholas did not have any further specific information on this.

"Wait, wait......" Hugo waved his hand repeatedly, "You can wait until the press conference after the opening ceremony to ask these questions, why bother asking me now, I still need to answer twice, isn't it too troublesome." ”

Nicholas vaguely felt a little strange, but couldn't say why, Hugo seemed to be very reasonable, so he continued to ask, "These two young men claim to be paparazzi, have you really been interviewed by them before?" ”

Hugo didn't dodge this time, but nodded, "Yes, I've dealt with Brian before, and to be honest, fifteen-year-old paparazzi, this scared me." But now it seems, they're doing a good job, aren't they? ”

"It would be great if you could give us some exclusives!" Brian said with a look of anticipation as he hit the snake with a stick.

Hugo smiled dumbly and shook his head, "Trust me, you wouldn't want a day like this. Now Hugo still treats the two of them as children, and if they show their true colors as "paparazzi", they will be no different from other crows in Hugo's eyes. And Hugo has always been not very gentle with crows, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them." Hugo gestured to Nicholas and James, who were standing nearby.

In the puzzled eyes of Brian and Austin, James could only change the topic again, "How does it feel to start filming again after half a year?" ”

This is not a formal interview, and both parties seem to be very relaxed, as if they were small talking. But Nicholas always felt that something was wrong, and when Hugo left, a thought suddenly flashed in Nicholas's mind: keep silent! He finally sensed that something was wrong, Hugo did not give a positive answer to the script, characters and other contents of the movie, even if it was not a formal question, just casual chat, Hugo was impenetrable.

In the end, he was thinking too much, and it would be announced at the press conference in a moment; Or was he guessed that something was really wrong?
