Chapter 1411： Boss supervisor

"My scene is not so fast, I just want to come over and have a look, and then make a special trip to visit you." Will always has a friendly smile on his face, sincerely speaking, it is easy for people to have a good impression, "Right. , I played Russell Case (russell. Casse), we have some rivals in the movie."

Russell Keys, the man who sacrificed himself in the last moments of the movie and detonated the alien spacecraft over the city, this is also a significant role. Although not the protagonist, the role is not less important than in the original script. The so-called actor Steve, who had participated in the Vietnam War, claimed to have been captured by aliens. After returning, he was immersed in alcohol and was unable to extricate himself. Later, he showed courage during the earth's crisis and became a part of saving the earth. The company gave this role to Will, obviously also optimistic about his prospects.

But what’s interesting is that Hugo originally thought that after he played the leading role, Will would not get the opportunity for him to make a big splash, and the story could easily become a routine for a group of white people to save the earth, but Roland actually Set Russell as a black man and use this method to make the whole story complete again.

"It seems that we need to have a good talk, but you have a lot of important work on your shoulders." Hugo solemnly pointed his head and said, Will froze, and then realized that Hugo was talking about Russell. The role is also saying that Russell will take away a lot of the light that belongs to Steve.

Hugo's ridicule and self-deprecating made Will clapped his hands and laughed and pointed at Hugo, "Hey, man, you are such a humorous man."

Looking at Will who was laughing too exaggeratedly, Hugo and Sandra looked at each other. Sandra pointed to Will who was overjoyed and said seriously, "If this compliment comes from a certain woman, it will not Would it make you happier? Or do you want Cameron to say this?" Then Sandra shrugged, "Man, you know, I can help if you need it."

Sandra hugged Hugo's shoulder directly, "Hey, man, you are such a humorous man."

"Why do I think I was molested? I was being molested?" Hugo put his chin in deep thought, and Will had already laughed until his stomach hurts. Hugo beckoned to the staff next to him, "I miss him Need medical help." Even Sandra didn't hold back now, and laughed out with a flutter. Hugo's eyes were rounded by the female's saliva that day, "Hey! Lady!"

As a result, Hugo got a fist from Sandra in return.

"It seems that everyone is getting along well. This is good news for us, right, Hugo?" A sunny and joyful voice came towards him, and when he raised his head, he saw Alan Stray Luo strode over. He wore an iron-gray suit today, with a tall and powerful posture that made people look at him.

Will and Sandra looked back and saw Alan, they both immediately cheered up. At the opening ceremony, they both knew that Alan was the real boss behind Independence Day. In other words, Allen had possession of Power of life and death. Alan is different from Kevin Pence. He is not a member of the film industry. He is a simple businessman. Such talents are most in need of vigilance—because he does not understand the mode of operation of the industry, the only thing that can move him is Profits are a bit ugly because they don't know anything about profit. So you can’t follow common sense when dealing with Allen, and it's no wonder Will and Sandra are cautious.

Hugo saw Alan for the first time, and he also noticed the tension of the two people around him-the relaxed and lively atmosphere just now obviously settled down, "I think it is good news for the actors." Hugo He said with a chuckle that he had been in contact with Alan twice. He felt that Alan’s personality was still bright and sunny, and he was very easy to get along with, but Hugo also knew that this was also because they had no conflict of interest with Alan at the moment, like Ai For businessmen like Lun, the true personality is hidden, and it will only be revealed when conflicts of interest arise.

"Of course, if there are some small benefits, it would be even better. For example, the big boss comes to visit the class." Hugo looked at Will and Sandra. Although both of them still had smiles on their faces, they were active. Significantly decreased, "For another example, when the big boss came to visit the class, he invited us to drink coffee and eat doughnuts."

Hugo was joking, because he didn't expect Alan to visit the class. Behind-the-scenes investment bosses like Allen, because they don’t know anything about the film industry, they often hire a professional producer to give orders on the spot on his behalf. For example, Allen delegates the power to 20th Century Fox. As far as they are concerned, they don't have much interest in the studio.

The reason why Hugo said this was actually ridiculing Allen for being uneasy about the crew and going to the scene to supervise himself. This is obviously a manifestation of the businessman's suspicion. Of course, Hugo means more obscure.

I didn’t want Ellen to laugh, and patted his head, “Look at my memory, the squad can’t be empty-handed, right?” Ellen smiled self-deprecatingly, and then turned back and said to a black suit standing next to him. Then, "Billy, hurry up and order a takeaway now. You can ask Roland how many staff members are there. Besides coffee and doughnuts, please order some pizza. I think it's almost noon."

Allen’s response made Hugo a bit at a loss. He just said casually... Hugo looked at Sandra who was standing on the side, and the two exchanged helpless eyes. Will also be next to him. Making a face made Hugo almost laugh.

"I just watched the filming next to me. It seems that everything went well today. How is it going to be a new filming?" Alan finished his explanation and continued to communicate with Hugo after turning around.

This made Hugo stunned. Has Allen appeared on the crew from the beginning? Then hide to watch the filming? Hugo was taken aback. He didn't know that this was a common behavior of commercial film investors. For example, today is the first day of official filming in the studio, they went to the scene to supervise, or Alan's own insistence. Hugo has been rolling in Hollywood for a few years now, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

"Uh..." Hugo looked around roughly, and found that due to the appearance of Allen, Roland, Sergio and others were standing a few steps away, hesitating not to come forward to interrupt, you can see that. , They were also very surprised, “I don’t feel comfortable with it. You know, I don’t have any experience with green screen performances. Everything is fresh. I was a little at a loss when I was shooting.” Hugo quickly organized the language, calmly He replied, "Of course, I still need to adjust slowly."

"Haha..." Although Hugo concealed it well, Alan could still feel the difference. After all, the first two meetings were not familiar, but at least it was relaxed. Today's atmosphere is obviously tighter. Not to mention that Will and Sandra stood by and laughed. "Guys, relax. I have no plans to cut the movie's budget or interfere in the production of the movie."

Allen’s frankness made Sandra feel embarrassed. She bowed her head and gave Hugo a look, as if she was saying, "Hurry up and get him away." Very interested, I think this is a very interesting art, so I wanted to go to the set a long time ago, you know, to see the shooting process, to see the performance of the actors, you know, it’s for movie lovers That kind of curiosity." Allen said quickly in a relaxed tone.

Hugo immediately understood Alan's meaning, as if everyone would be more or less interested in the operation of the set. When the crew shoots in public, it can always arouse people's onlookers.

"Especially I just watched'Death Convict Walk' not long ago. I really admire Hugo's performance. I am very curious about what Hugo will look like working on the set, so I came here specifically today." Looking at Hugo politely, those azure blue eyes were soft and bright, releasing a friendly signal.

"Yes!" It was Will who replied. His shocking sound made Sandra and Hugo not hold back, and he chuckled lightly, which made Will touch his head in embarrassment. I think so too, so I made a special trip to the set today. Hugo's performance is really worth learning."

Alan seemed to have found a soulmate. The index fingers of both hands pointed at Will, and he smiled and said, "Look, this is what I mean." This somewhat absurd and childish action made the three of them no longer hold back. He chuckled lightly, and the atmosphere finally eased.

"So Hugo, you said just now that you are not comfortable, what's the matter? Green screen? What's that?" Allen looked at Hugo with a curious expression, it seemed to be true He has endless curiosity about movies.

It makes sense to think about it. One hundred million dollars—I heard that Allen’s check to Twentieth Century Fox was one hundred and fifty million dollars. If Allen was not really interested in movies, he would certainly not be so generous.

Hugo looked at Sandra, and then at Alan, "To be honest, it’s not correct that you asked me to explain this kind of thing, because I am also very confused. I think I need Roland or the computer special effects staff to come and explain. It's more appropriate..." The smile on Hugo's face finally recovered, and he explained it according to his own understanding, while Allen listened carefully. This allowed the slightly tense atmosphere to relax slowly. Although it was not obvious, it was at least a good sign.

The boss appears in the workplace to supervise the work, this kind of thing is always not easy to handle, is it?

From Kevin to Allen to Roland, the problems behind a commercial film like "Independence Day" are obviously not that simple. Hugo had already felt it before the filming started-the grand opening ceremony, the lively media The interview, all of this is brand new. It seems that Rick is right. When Hugo stars in a real commercial blockbuster, the situation will be completely different. This is a completely different new world.
