"Tony, your eyes shouldn't be on Hugo, remember? You can't see Malcolm! Knight spread his hands to Toni Colette, expressing his helplessness, and the smile on the corner of his mouth looked helpless.

Toni herself couldn't help but hold her forehead and shook her head, "God, please forgive me, I don't know what I was thinking just now, I just followed Haley's line of sight." Sorry, really sorry. After saying that, Toni couldn't help but laugh herself, feeling that her mistake just now was really ridiculous.

Hugo, who was sitting on the sofa, looked innocent, "Tony, or else, when I shoot your shot, I leave the sofa and wait for the close-up of Haley, and then I'll sit down?" ”

Toni waved her hand repeatedly, "No, not at all, let me calm down, I'll be fine." Then Toni lowered her head and sat cross-legged on the ground to calm herself down.

This scene is actually a trap, this is the second time Malcolm and Haley meet, at Haley's house. In order to deceive the audience into believing that Malcolm is "alive", Knight has Lynn and Malcolm sit face-to-face on the single sofa, and then when Cole enters the house, he sees two people sitting facing each other. This creates the illusion that Lynn and Malcolm were communicating before Cole came in, and that Malcolm had been invited to become Cole's psychiatrist.

But in fact, when Cole entered the door, neither Lynn nor Malcolm spoke, and Lynn even supported his forehead with his right hand, looking tired. Such details can be interpreted as Lynn explaining her son's situation to Malcolm, but she is very sad because she is too worried; It can also be interpreted as Lynn just sitting on the couch resting after a tiring day's work - she can't see Malcolm across from her.

This plays an important role in the conversation between Cole and Malcolm - why Cole always feels so scared, why he always feels repulsed, and even refuses Malcolm's help. On the surface, it seems that Cole's mental illness has caused him to refuse to trust Malcolm, but the real truth will not be revealed until the finale.

Such traps abound throughout the script, trying to create an atmosphere where Malcolm is still alive, so that there seems to be an "interaction" between Malcolm and the others, but in fact, if you look closely, you can find that this interaction is not mutual, it is often Malcolm immersed in his own world, and the other party's performance is not aware of his existence at all.

However, such a scene is difficult to film, there is a big living person in front of you, but you have to ignore the existence of the other party, and at the same time make the audience believe that their reaction is an interaction with Malcolm. This delicate criterion needs to be accomplished not only through camera angles and camera editing, but also with the performance support of the actors.

In the scene just now, Cole could see Malcolm, but Lynn couldn't. During the performance, either Haley showed his fear of seeing Malcolm in the air, or Toni looked at Hugo and treated him as invisible, because considering that Haley was only twelve years old this year, the responsibility was naturally given to Tony.

Unfortunately, I tried twice and failed. Tony's eyes always drifted towards Hugo involuntarily, causing the scene to break directly.

"It seems that the atmosphere at the scene is very good." A calm voice with a shallow smile came to mind behind him, and Hugo looked back and saw Robert Egger in a straight suit.

Robert casually walked across from Hugo and sat down, but his eyes were focused on Haley and Tony, "David also told me yesterday that his confidence in the success of the film has risen again, and now I can see why." ”

"The Sixth Sense" has only been on for three days, but the overall filming progress is very smooth, even beyond imagination, to Knight's delight. It's just that Hugo didn't expect that Robert would appear on the set in Philadelphia. In the past few days, due to the presence of Hugo, the crew has always been surrounded by paparazzi, and Robert's appearance is likely to be filmed and recorded.

Hugo originally thought that the collaboration between Robert and David Vogel was carried out in secret, and if Michael Eisner knew about it, his follow-up would not be so easy to unfold. However, now it seems that Robert does not care at all, which makes Hugo surprised, and he can't help but sigh at his own immaturity - in this kind of business competition where there is no sword and sword, he is indeed less talented.

"We're all doing our best." Hugo replied with a smile, which made Robert retract his gaze, "Did you come here today to visit the class?" Hugo wasn't going to talk about the fights behind his back, and he wasn't going to ask Robert if he was worried about his whereabouts being exposed by the media, which wasn't something he needed to think about.

Robert raised his eyebrows slightly, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, I came here to visit the class." Robert's gaze didn't seem to be anything unusual, as if the confrontation between Endeavor Elite Agency, DreamWorks and him in the past few months had not existed at all, "Recently, 'Truman's world' has been too hot, and I can't help but have some curiosity, I want to go to the set to watch it in person and see Hugo's performance on the set." Please forgive me for being rude and coming over without saying hello in advance. ”

Robert's performance is completely a friendly friend, not too close and not too distant, and the right emotional expression makes people feel like a spring breeze - no different from how Hugo has felt a few times before.

"No, not at all." Hugo chuckled, maintaining his humble manners, "Any kind of visit is welcome, and I only hope you have brought a delicious afternoon tea." ”

Robert also seemed to be moved by Hugo's lightness, and his smile became softer, "I brought donuts and black tea today, I hope you will like it." I will accept the feedback in a while, and I hope that I will be better prepared for the next class visit. ”

Next Visit...... When Robert said this, he didn't know if it was Hugo's delusion, he could feel that his speech slowed down a little, and his eyes were more focused, as if he was not talking about the "supernatural sixth sense" after the visit, but that there would be more cooperation between them in the future, as if to imply that the "supernatural sixth sense" was just the beginning, and the cooperation between DreamWorks, Endeavour Elite Agency and Disney would continue - is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Is this Hugo's delusion?

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Hugo took over the topic with a smile, "Coffee, I personally like coffee more." He took the initiative to let his guard down and said what he liked. But in fact, Hugo's preference is not a secret in Hollywood, and even the young volcano will take the initiative to give Hugo the best coffee beans as gifts.

However, Robert didn't notice the meaning of his words at all, and showed a relaxed smile, "I'll write it down in my notebook." After finishing speaking, Robert looked left and right, and took the initiative to stand up, "I won't disturb your work, just a layman can watch the excitement from the side." ”

Hugo thought for a while and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, "Thank you for visiting today, this has made our crew a lot more lively." Hugo still expressed his friendliness. Although it was Robert who was calculating him at first, but later Endeavor Elite Brokerage also launched a counterattack, and in the end, the win or loss was actually impossible to measure.

Robert humbly shook Hugo's right hand, without further polite words, and then pushed out of the shooting set, as if he were just an ordinary bystander.

Sure enough, it was an old fox, and the number of paragraphs even surpassed Shirley Lansing, Barry Meyer. Robert's words are completely hidden, not only is the foreshadowing extremely long, but the trivial details are all over the conversation. Often before he reacts, he is surrounded by Robert. In the future, he can become the most successful CEO in Disney's history, even surpassing Michael Eisner, who has controlled Disney for two decades, and pushing Disney to the highest peak in history in just ten years.

Hugo didn't like to deal with Robert, because he was overstretched everywhere, and he had to make countless turns to even say a word, which was really tiring. He is really suitable to be an artist obediently. In fact, the same is true of Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, although they are also scheming foxes, but they are still not meticulous enough in calculating interests and planning for the future, otherwise in the history that Hugo knows, DreamWorks will not be washed away.

The combination of Endeavour Elite Agency and DreamWorks can definitely be said to be a wise choice in this Hollywood game.

Looking back, Hugo's gaze came into contact with Robert again, Robert showed a friendly smile, Hugo also outlined the corners of his mouth, nodded in acknowledgement, and then retracted his attention and threw himself into the shooting.

After a short interlude, Tony's performance improved significantly, and she was not disturbed again by Hugo's presence, although she still made a few mistakes because of her long lines, but they were all acceptable.

But Hugo is a little restrained, his attention is always distracted by Robert behind him, this feeling is very annoying, fortunately, Hugo only has a back in this scene, more often as a supporting role, he himself does not need to perform, even if the mind wanders, it is harmless. But even so, Hugo had to refocus his attention, not only because the next scene was important, but also because it was a part of the film as a backdrop.

After another NG, Hugo let out a long breath, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, so that the whole person's emotions settled, forgetting Robert's shadowy gaze, and re-engaged in the filming.
