Chapter 1824 1824 Real swords and real guns
Russell is not a rookie who just entered the industry. Before coming to Hollywood, he had already appeared in many works in Australia. Not only did he have acting talent, he also knew how to keep learning. More importantly, his rich life experience from childhood to greatness made him very smart and very spiritual during his performance.
So, when Russell heard Hugo's words, he fell into thinking.
In fact, before today, Russell's performance has always been commendable, but he has recently entered a misunderstanding. In addition, he has a mentality of admiration for Hugo, so it is naturally difficult to let go when playing against Hugo. What Russell needs is to relax, focus, and regain his previous state, which is enough.
Hugo thought for a while and said again, "Russell, I need you to focus on it. We all know what happened in this scene. I slept with your woman. If you are a man, take out some courage. There is no reason to justify that the facts have become established facts. Unless you think you are a coward, then I naturally don't mind."
Hugo's words were neither slow nor slow, calm and powerful, awakening Russell's anger in his heart bit by bit, putting aside the details of the performance and the spirit of study, and showing the most realistic reaction in his body.
Although this scene is a rivalry between Hugo and Russell, the real initiative is actually in Russell's hands, just like Hugo's previous rivalry with Kevin.
Bard fell in love with Lynn, and Lynn fell in love, but Ed developed a tangle towards Lynn, which was jealousy, admiration, desire, and also the temptation that Lynn deliberately showed under the threat of the mastermind behind the scenes, so Ed and Lynn had a night of dew, water, marriage, and fate. Of course, all of this was recorded by the mastermind behind the scenes. Later, the mastermind behind the scenes skillfully leaked the photo to Bard, so Bard, who was furious, first found Lynn to confront him, and then found Ed, who had just discovered the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes.
On the one hand, Ed hopes to cooperate with Bud to reveal the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes. He also realized that Lynn is a trap; on the other hand, Bud is not willing to listen to Ed's explanation at all, and he starts to beat Ed with violence and madly starts to beat Ed. Ed, the weak scholar, has almost no power to fight back in the face of Bud's violence.
In fact, the difficulty of shooting this scene is very difficult.
Bard was responsible for violence, but after his inner miscellaneousness and impulses were fully released, he gradually began to realize the truth of the problem. The transformation after a mixed feeling needed to be revealed; Ed tried to control it, but he could not find any breathing gap in the storm. Most importantly, the fear and excitement of discovering the truth swept across, and countless chaotic thoughts almost suffocated him.
And all this happened during the violent beating process.
Therefore, before the filming, under the guidance of action guidance, Hugo and Russell rehearsed six times to ensure that the movement and counterpoint of the two people did not make mistakes, and also had a clear understanding of the position of the camera lens. At the same time, before the performance, Curtis also left the two actors enough time to brew emotions.
But the result was still continuous errors. Russell was unable to enter the state and he was unable to really wave his fist at Hugo, which made shooting extremely difficult.
In movies, scenes such as real beatings and real slaps are always the most difficult to shoot. If an actor takes too much action, it may lead to awkward relationships in reality; if an actor takes too light action, the effect shown by the camera cannot be truly presented. How to master the scale is a arduous challenge for the actors.
Russell, who was standing in front of Hugo, got rid of his thoughts at this moment and looked at Hugo with some surprise. The anger in his eyes was rolling quietly. Hugo knew that Russell had enough ability to explode, but he could not control it accurately at this time, so he needed to correctly guide this conflict.
Hugo's thoughts changed, his expression returned to calm, and his tone was slightly suppressed, "So, you are a waste, you know nothing except waving your fists. Your partner is a garbage, but he killed himself. In order to maintain his non-existent reputation, you killed a good citizen who had no intention of resisting. Do you think you are just? Do you think you are noble? No, you are just a pawn. I think you should know more in your heart than me."
Hugo's speech was not fast or slow, and there was not much additional emotion. He just added a little bit of ridicule. His facial expression was always calm and he had a cold and high attitude. This was Ed, not Hugo. This was the relationship between Ed and Bard, which was also why Bard always disliked Ed and even hated Ed. He felt that Ed was always too noble and too arrogant. The friendship and comrades they cherished the most were just exchanges of interests in Ed's eyes. Ed was not even as good as Jack.
Hugo is guiding Russell into Bud's state. He did not deliberately mention his name, blurring the boundary between reality and drama, and using his own state to substitute Russell into the state.
"Now, I'm sleeping with your woman again, how do you feel? You can imagine that picture. I mean, I know she is your woman, but I don't mind at all." These words were not Ed's style, but Ed's style in Bud's mind. The reason why Ed had sex with Lynn is many, complicated, and it's hard to describe. But in Bud's heart, it was obviously not the case. So, Hugo was going to shape Ed in Bud's mind at this time. Hugo leaned forward slightly, and this sense of oppression came to his face. He held his golden glasses and said word by word, "Why? Because, she... is... a prostitute... a prostitute..."
"Shut up! Stop your mouth!" Russell's big fist waving directly, raised it high, and stopped above Hugo's forehead, but at the last moment it stopped. Russell's eyes were already bloodshot, and the anger that wandered on the edge of losing control was eating up his sanity, but he still controlled it.
Hugo looked up at Russell's fist, breathed a light breath, and then resumed his tone and said, "Russell, I need you to release this anger, take everything seriously. Once I close my eyes, the scene will be over. Don't continue to torture. I mean, you really beat me and beat me hard." After Hugo said this, three lines appeared on his forehead. Why did he feel like he was masochist?
But Hugo still controlled this idea well and continued, "The anger in his heart is completely released, and using your method to perform, this is the right way." After Hugo said that, he looked at Russell's eyes carefully, and could still vaguely see Russell's struggles and contradictions in self-control, but he still had not been completely released.
Hugo thought about it. Russell has been studying himself and studying himself these days, and his thoughts must be quite chaotic. It is actually not easy to suddenly ask him to return to his original track. Russell needs an opportunity. "Russell, would it be better if I punch you directly?"
Russell couldn't help but be stunned. After looking carefully, he found that there was no joke in Hugo's eyes. He said sincerely, "Maybe." Russell said, and then gritted his teeth, "Okay, no problem, if you try to punch me, I will..."
"Bang!" Russell didn't have time to finish his words. Hugo suddenly fisted up and smashed Russell's cheek hard. When Russell caught off guard, he staggered into the closet next to him. The muffled sound of the fist and the messy sound that followed shocked everyone in the audience. Almost no one expected such a scene, and thought Hugo and Russell had a conflict, and everyone rushed up in an instant.
But Hugo walked towards Russell with his fist, grabbed Russell's collar, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you need me to punch you again?"
Russell squeezed out a word from the tightly closed teeth, "No". Then he pushed Hugo away, and the huge force directly hit Hugo's chest, causing Hugo to push it back two steps. Russell stood up and stared at Hugo fiercely, his eyes full of anger.
Hugo turned to look at everyone and made a running gesture, "Now you can start a brand new attempt."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and finally looked at Curtis. Curtis waved his hand and the entire crew quickly returned to the position and started filming again.
Ed sat in the archives room to search for information. He discovered the secret behind the scenes, and at the same time connected all the cases in the past period. At this time, the door of the archives room was opened. Ed looked up and said it was Bud, "You are here just right, come and take a look at this."
Bud looked calm, but the anger in his eyes was burning like flames. He walked to the desk step by step, silent, like a messenger of hell returning from blood. He raised his left hand and showed a photo for Ed to show. It was the photo of Ed and Lynn intimate. The calm expression on his facial expression made his anger even more terrifying.
Ed looked up and saw the photo. He couldn't help but breathe, his pupils suddenly opened wide, first panic, then worried, then understood, but then fear swept over, "Wait." Ed stood up, all the complex emotions swarmed in, which made his lips lose moisture and become dry.
