It's been a week since "Sleepless in Seattle" was launched, and after the run-in in the early stage, the crew and actors have gradually entered the state, but the content of the first week of filming is relatively simple, and the real test has not come. The scenes to be filmed today are the most important part of the whole movie.

The scene filmed today is when Sam's son, Jonah, calls the radio station and says he wants to find a new wife for his dad. Sam was very angry when he found out, but he still recounted his experience under the host's patient persuasion, he understood that Jonah needed a new mother, but he also knew that he would never find the perfect lover like the old one.

This phone call with the radio is the basis of the whole movie, and it is also the www.biquge.info of the story, it is this phone call that makes Anne listening to the radio have a heart touch for Sam, and it is also the phone call that connects two strangers in Seattle and Baltimore. Therefore, the phone call must be convincing, and there must be enough sparks to convince the audience of the real emotions in it, so that the rest of the story can unfold naturally.

In short, if Hugo's performance on this phone call is not convincing enough, then the whole film is doomed.

So Hugo has a very huge pressure on his shoulders, which is also after "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo is facing the challenge of acting skills again after half a year, maybe the difficulty of this scene is not as difficult as the rivalry with Jack Nicholson in "Yihai Xiongfeng", because this scene is Hugo's one-man show, but the requirements for acting depth and appeal are on a higher level.

Where there is pressure, there is motivation. Hugo has been brewing his love for the past two days, hoping that he can win this scene, and his mind suddenly appeared that Tom Hanks starred in the original version of "Sleepless in Seattle", in fact, Tom's performance is the most delicate, and the emotions erupt between the silent 'colors', if you deliberately look for traces, it is fruitless, because Tom often has no point of strength in the performance process, and it is difficult to find out his power point, as if a qiē is naturally 'revealed'.

Moreover, his age is also very different from Tom's, so Hugo knows that if he wants to imitate Tom in this scene, he is doomed to fail, and he must rely on himself to complete this scene.

So what should Hugo do with his own strength? After Sam lost his wife, he collapsed and even changed his view of love and life, what kind of emotion is this? Hugo couldn't help but think back to what he said to Nora at the second audition, which was actually a kind of perception of Hugo's relationship with Uma, or a little psychological feeling, which meant that Hugo had to remember Uma's relationship and recall the surging pain in Uma's heart when he turned away.

But...... Hugo didn't want that. He couldn't help but close his eyes, suppressing all the intricacies in his heart, he had no way to recall those things, at least not now.

"I'm ready." Hugo knew that he could not delay any longer, so even though the love was not fully brewed, he still said this to Nora, although he always hesitated in his heart, but in the end he still did not say it.

Nora looked at the depression between Hugo's eyebrows, nodded, and then glanced at Ross who was standing at the kitchen 'door', and after receiving a confirmed answer, she raised her voice and said, "Let's shoot!"

"Dad, someone called you." Rose shouted in the direction of the balcony, and Hugo pushed the door in, walked over to the phone, and picked it up.

At this time, Hugo was wearing a simple T-shirt overalls 'pants', because of the cold weather, he wore a base shirt and an open-collar T-shirt on the outside, this set of clothes is the outfit Hugo chose for the first audition, the standard blue-collar men's ordinary dress in the nineties, and then put on a turmeric 'colored' waterproof jacket, and the taste of the whole dress came out.

His dark golden hair was as messy and disorderly as a bird's nest, as if it was just a hairstyle that he had taken care of with his hands in the morning, and although the stubble on his chin was shaved clean, there was a shallow shadow of five o'clock 'yin', which made him look a little more decadent. The handsome and sunny face has lost its brilliance because of the dull eyes, the frowning eyebrows have lost a bit of temperament, and the eyebrows and the faint wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are the traces left by the years, just a look is very convincing.

Hugo, who has been covered up by simple makeup, now looks like a widower about thirty years old, a young widower who has lost his wife and lives alone with an eight-year-old child, although he does not have the calm charm of a forty-year-old, but at the same time he will not be too young to lose his convincingness, and more importantly, Hugo's mature but energetic, brisk but hidden sadness temperament amazed the entire crew, including Nora. Now Hugo is Sam.

Sam picked up the phone, only to hear a voice on the other end of the line, "Hello, Sam, I'm Dr. Ferdon from Radio America. This voice was played by Nora Ephron on the scene reciting lines for Hugo, which was very vivid.

"What do you want to sell? Grilled 'meat' rack, ninja knife?" Sam's tone was slightly heavy, with a hint of exhaustion.

"I don't sell anything, I just want to help you." The doctor explained, "Your son is calling and wants me to help you find a new wife. ”

Sam's eyes were full of doubt, and his brow furrowed involuntarily, "Who are you?"

"Dr. Marcy Ferdon, National Radio, you're on the air." With the doctor's words, Sam turned his head in disbelief to look at his son hiding at the kitchen door, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion, and then Sam moved the microphone a little away and asked, "You called the radio?"

Jonah didn't dare to answer at all, just hugged the phone and hid, and the doctor couldn't help but quickly call, "Sam, Sam, are you still there?"

Sam looked angrily at the kitchen, even though Jonah could feel his father's anger through a wall, Sam could only hurriedly reply, "Yes" and then looked in the direction of the kitchen in confusion but angrily, trying to get some answers from Jonah.

"Your son thinks that your wife has been depressed since she died. He is very worried about you. The doctor explained.

Sam saw Jonah sneaking out, raised his chin, raised his right hand and beckoned to his son, "You, come out for me." Hurry up, I don't want to be alone!" Helplessly, Jonah held the phone and listened to the receiver, and slowly moved it out step by step.

"I think it's hard for him to 'talk' to you, we can talk and maybe put Jonah at ease. Sam?" The doctor persistently persuaded.

"Tell her she's a doctor." Jonah also listened to the kitchen landline and spoke into his father.

"What doctor? Maybe she'll be called 'Doctor'. Sam still felt that this qiē was ridiculous, and his brow furrowed again, angry and helpless but sleepy.

"Please?" Jonah said to his father, those eyes looking at Sam pitifully, which made Sam have no way to refuse. And the doctor's voice came over the phone again, "Sam, this is his Christmas wish." ”

Sam looked at his son and nodded helplessly, "Okay." Then he slowly took off his coat and decided to stay indoors.

"I know it's difficult, but, how long has it been since your wife died?" The doctor asked.

"About a year and a half ago." Sam's voice involuntarily lowered, and even he didn't notice that his gaze began to lower unconsciously.

"Have you ever had a 'girlfriend' after that?"

Sam was silent for a moment, then gave a very simple answer, "No." ”

"None? Why not?"

"Uh...... Dr. Marcy? Or Dr. Ferdon?" Sam looked up, his voice back to normal, and after receiving an answer from "Dr. Marcy", Sam said, "Dr. Marcy, I don't want to be rude......"

"Oh, I don't want to be private." The doctor hurriedly said.

"Of course you don't." Sam sarcastically said, but the doctor didn't seem to understand what Sam meant, "Say, I'm listening." Unfortunately, Sam didn't respond, and the doctor had to say again, "Sam?" That's the downside of the radio, you never know what kind of person is on the other end of the radio wave.

Sam coughed lightly, slowly picked up the phone and walked in Jonah's direction, "At first, my son and I were in a lot of pain, but ...... We got through it. Sam said slowly, with difficulty, "Jonah and I will calm down...... After I smashed his radio. Sam and Jonah came face to face and walked to the bench at the bottom of the stairs, and Sam was still clearly unhappy with Jonah's call to the radio station, and said depressedly.

Sam's complaint made the doctor laugh, and Jonah, who sat down on the bench and looked at his father cautiously, while the doctor on the radio was still saying, "I believe you are a good father, and a person's voice can hear a lot of his 'sex'." ”

Sam immediately said solemnly, "Of course you can!" The irony couldn't be more obvious.

But the doctor was already familiar with the situation and simply ignored it, "But for some reason, Jonah thinks you're still at a low ebb. Just a few questions, will you be able to sleep at night?"

When Sam opened his mouth to answer, he was directly interrupted by Jonah, "He didn't sleep at night. ”

"How do you know?" Sam's brow furrowed again unconsciously, looking at his son in surprise.

"I live here, Dad." Jonah said in a ghostly manner, leaving Sam a little speechless.

"Uh......" Sam struggled to pretend to be fine, looking for a plausible explanation, "Actually, it's Christmas." Sam was a little confused, he also sat down on the bench, put the landline on the floor, and then leaned back on the bench, a little hesitant and a little 'confused', and said, "Maggie, my wife, she celebrates warmly...... She loved ...... "Sam couldn't speak the words every time he started a head, and the weight of loneliness and pain made it impossible for him to organize his own words," she ...... Arrange all the qiē perfectly, and every time it comes to this time, it is even harder, and every child needs a mother. Sam sat his son down beside him and took him into his arms.

"Do you, like Jonah, need a companion?" The doctor asked, but Sam didn't know what to say.
