Chapter 1612: Indirect Affirmation

72_72291 In the crew, James is absolutely unavoidable, and no one can challenge his authority, not even Kevin Pence is here.

However, James also knows deep down that Hugo is not a member of the "Titanic" crew, he is just a friendly cameo today - he didn't even get a penny, just to support his friend Leonardo, which is a big face for Hugo, who is in full swing. Therefore, James is not qualified to blame Hugo.

What's more, although Hugo needs to be responsible for the situation just now, it is the staff who really has the problem. If Hugo toughens up and goes toe-to-toe with James, it will be James who suffers in the end - even if James doesn't care at all.

But to James's surprise, Hugo not only apologized, but also saved him face in front of the crew, which made James a little unable to get off the stage - the reason why he resisted Hugo becoming a member of the crew was that he was worried that Hugo would confront him head-on in the crew, so that he had no way to control the crew.

Thinking of this, James, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, is inevitably a little uncomfortable, but he still straightened his waist in a dignified manner, and directly ignored the brief embarrassment just now, "Thank you for your willingness to join the filming of our crew, I hope we will have the opportunity to officially cooperate next time." It was as if the accusations against Hugo just now did not exist at all.

Looking at such a righteous James, Hugo also choked, and couldn't help but make contact with James a few times before and after, Hugo also knew that the possibility of him and James coexisting peacefully was very small, and they should not have a chance to cooperate in the future.

But Hugo also politely greeted a few words, "Of course, I hope to have the opportunity to join your project in the future" Yunyun, just when Hugo thought that today's cooperation would end here - James had already turned around and was about to leave, not wanting James to stop and turn around again, "I heard George last time that you came up with some very interesting ideas." ”

"George?" Hugo subconsciously wondered that there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people named George in Hollywood, how can he remember his name?

"Lucas." James added, and Hugo suddenly realized, "Oh. Then he realized what James was talking about, and couldn't help but say "oh" again, looking at James's puzzled face, Hugo smiled awkwardly, "George is bound to say good things about me again, but in fact, I just made some trivial points, I really don't know anything about computer special effects, and it turns out that George has a whimsy." So, if there's any credit, maybe it's me, as a viewer, who came up with some ideas, and that's it. ”

James raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not comment on Hugo's humility, but just went on to say, "In fact, making a film is such a process, piecing together countless impossible ideas and seeking a possible way to evolve into reality." Just like George's 'Star Wars', computer special effects had not yet begun to develop, but George still made a work that could change the history of American culture. You may just make a few unrelated opinions, but for anyone who really understands computer special effects, it can be a spark of inspiration. ”

This...... Is this complimenting Hugo? This made Hugo a little uncomfortable. However, because James's words were still very flat, Hugo could not tell whether it was a compliment or a self-inflicted sentiment.

James didn't seem to intend to leave Hugo room to think, and then said, "I heard that you went to ILM in person, just because you were curious about how the computer post-production special effects are made?" ”

Hugo retracted his thoughts and nodded, "Yes, you know, it's not easy to stand in front of a green screen and perform. Maybe we know more about the production of computer special effects and the graphics presented, which will be helpful for performance. ”

"Oh, how do you say?" James actually asked with great interest, originally Hugo was just talking casually, he thought James was just showing politeness, after all, James has never studied much about acting, but now ......

Hugo didn't hesitate, and said directly, "Let's put it this way, in 'Jurassic Park', when we face the dinosaurs, we need to show a panicked expression, but first, the focus of the line of sight will be biased, which will have an impact on the details of the performance; To put it simply, many times, when we play against actors, even if the other party is not in the camera, we need the other party to stand outside the camera and provide us with a reference for the scene. The same is true for computer special effects. ”

Hugo's words made James silent for a moment, and then raised his head and looked at Hugo deeply, which made Hugo feel a little inexplicable, James opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shut up, "Maybe you can talk to Leo, he has a lot of ideas in acting lately, about visual effects, maybe your method is good." ”

Hugo could clearly feel that this was not what James originally wanted to say, and that he had changed his mind temporarily.

In fact, James originally wanted to ask Hugo's opinion on the camera, because many scenes of "Titanic" are composed of half real and half computer, which is not only a big challenge for the actors, but also a serious challenge for James, who has absolute confidence in the scene scheduling, but is not able to capture the actors' performances. James thought that maybe Hugo could give some constructive advice, but when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them - he was not used to communicating with actors, let alone Hugo.

Hugo naturally didn't know James's intense inner activities, and he just followed the words, "I have limited things to discuss with Leo, maybe you can communicate with Leo, as an actor, many times we need to cooperate with the director and have a fuller understanding of the entire scene and plot in order to meet the director's requirements." So, if the director is willing to communicate directly with the actors, it will be of great help. ”

As an actor and as a friend of Leonardo, Hugo still gave his most pertinent opinion. However, James's rejection can be clearly felt - he has never liked to be dictated to his work, and it is one thing for him to ask Hugo to help Leonardo, and it is another thing for Hugo to tell him what to do as a director.

But this time, James hesitated, but still did not vent his inner dissatisfaction, but muttered dullly, vaguely referring to the audible "director is director...... It's not the syllable of the actor ......", and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he took a deep breath and said directly, "Thank you very much for coming to the crew today, I think Kevin will be very happy." ”

James changed the topic so bluntly that Hugo was stunned again, and then he exchanged a few polite words with James, and then watched James turn around and leave. This time, James just really left, and he began to greet the crew and devote himself to the next filming.

James is an extremely proud, even arrogant person, even after filming box office hits like "Titanic" and "Avatar", there are still many Hollywood professionals who don't like him because he is too self-righteous. But today, he took the initiative to talk to Hugo about several topics, although fragmented, but it can be felt that James actually expressed some agreement with Hugo - such as the strength of the actor, such as Hugo's opinion on industrial light and magic.

George Lucas is arguably one of the people James admires the most, and after George took Hugo's advice, he applied a lot of these techniques to the post-production of the "Titanic". This is also a point that James can't ignore, so he still expressed "friendliness" to Hugo today, which is really rare for James.

Despite this, Hugo and James are destined to not become friends, and there is no way for the aura of the two to fit together. It is already necessary to be glad that he did not become an enemy - if Hugo really starred in "Titanic", this matter will not be certain.

Hugo looked at the crew that was up and running again in front of him, and then turned around and entered the standby room and changed back into his clothes. Subsequently, Hugo quietly watched the filming of the two scenes next to him, although he could clearly feel the excitement of the staff, the whole crew was a little impetuous, and even James himself was a little anxious, but this time there was no riot just now, and the staff stuck to their posts.

After saying goodbye to Leonardo, Kate, and James again, Hugo ended his cameo work on the "Titanic".

When leaving Rosarito, the crowd outside the studio did not decrease but increased, and the crowd seemed to increase again, but this time Hugo still patiently stood on the sofa in the back seat of the car, waving to the crowd from the skylight, making the scene a boiling volcano again. When I left the studio completely, I could still see the continuous red wave surging wildly, screams, shouts, and cries mixed with the sea breeze along with the car, boiling the sea water of the entire Gulf of California, and the blue sky was dyed bright red at this moment.

Just as Rosarito was boiling because of Hugo, Los Angeles began to gradually heat up at this time, midsummer has ended, but the continuous high temperature is still lingering in the North American continent, with the day by day, the "Independence Day" box office is approaching 500 million The pace is getting faster and faster, but it has not waited for "Independence Day" to create history, that a sensational showdown of the century that affects the United States and even the world, has started war soon!.
