"Hugo, you have to help me." Alex looked at Hugo nervously, jumping on the spot anxiously, but this look made Hugo laugh. Alex looked at Hugo's gloating appearance and clenched his fists depressedly, but after waving it, he found that there was no deterrent effect on Hugo, so he could only put it down depressedly and continue to plead, "I mean seriously, I'm nervous about to pee my pants now." ”

"Haha...... Don't worry, Alex, you're wearing black pants today, and others won't be able to see it. Hugo was still giggling and joking, leaving Alex completely helpless, and only felt a ball of cotton stuffed in his chest. Hugo patted his chest, smoothed out, and then said seriously, "Don't worry, you'll behave well." Don't worry too much, we just talked about the role of Malone yesterday, didn't we? ”

The script practice lasted for three days, and Nicole gradually entered the state, although it still needs to be adjusted slightly, but it is indeed getting better, it can be seen that she is indeed a very talented actress, and the most important thing is that she and Hugo are cultivating a tacit understanding of partners, which is a good news for the movie; And Kate Winslet has not yet entered the crew due to her lack of roles, which also puts all the pressure on Alex's shoulders - he is not confident enough in his acting skills.

Although Alex has also made cameo appearances in "Before Sunrise" and "Independence Day" before, it was just soy sauce, and he has not really played against Hugo. He and Hugo are now friends, but that still doesn't change the fact that Hugo is the object of his admiration - Hugo's acting skills have always been Alex's most admired talent.

Because of Malone's important weight in "Truman's World", this also puts more pressure on Alex, and he is very worried that his poor performance will ruin the whole movie - even Nicole will fall in front of Hugo, let alone him? Especially with the official start of filming of "Truman's World", in the past week, Alex has appeared very limitedly, but his nervousness is still rising, and today he will appear in the official second major scene, and Malone will really have a heart-to-heart with Truman. This presented Alex with a whole new challenge, and his panic was at its peak.

Looking at Alex, who was obviously uneasy in front of him, Hugo took a deep breath and said seriously, "Don't worry too much, in the actual shooting, we take care of each other and cooperate with each other, and there will be absolutely no problem with the performance." But these words still did not reassure Alex, Hugo thought for a moment, "In this way, you can stand by and watch the next scene, and after my performance is over, we will slowly discuss and communicate, so that you can get into the state little by little." ”

Alex nodded vigorously, "That's a great idea. ”

Hugo smiled and raised his right hand with his index and middle fingers crossed, "Then pray that I don't mess up this scene." With that, Hugo stepped aside, asked the stylist and make-up artist to confirm that there was nothing wrong with his outfit, and walked towards the square in front of him.

After only a few steps, Hugo stopped, then crouched down, rolled up his trousers, revealing the big red socks inside, and carefully straightened them so that there were no wrinkles left. These small details were Hugo's own ideas, and the styling team didn't understand Hugo's intentions at all, but they still prepared them according to Hugo's requirements - bright red became Truman's only sock color in the whole movie.

Immediately, Hugo took another step, walked to the stone chair next to the square, and sat down.

"Truman's World" is going to shoot a scene today, which is Truman's one-man show. Truman gradually noticed more and more abnormalities in his life, on the way to work, his radio appeared channel, and then he heard very strange conversations - they were almost live streaming Truman's every move, as if they were secretly spying on Truman; When he arrived at the office building, Truman had no way to settle down, and he felt that there was a surveillance line of sight in all directions, which filled him with doubts and panic.

In such a situation, Truman tried to make some different moves to test it, and finally ran to talk to Malone - that is, the next rivalry between Hugo and Alex, which was also the direct cause of Alex's pressure.

Hugo sat down on the stone chair, and then slowly adjusted his breathing, at this moment Truman still didn't know anything, but felt that there were too many anomalies in life, and even suspected that there were spies watching him. This kind of thing in the life of any ordinary person is enough to make people panic, and Truman is naturally no exception.

"Hugo, camera 1, 3 and 4 pull the middle shot, camera 2 pull close-up." Peter stood outside the square, holding the microphone and shouting, the empty voice echoed over the square, Hugo raised his right hand towards Peter, made an "OK" gesture, and then Peter continued, "Other actors, please go about your daily life, don't notice the camera, don't bother Hugo, it's no problem." ”

In pursuit of authenticity, in addition to the main actors, all the extras in the crew are locals of Seaside, and since there is no busy life here, many people are eager to sign up, and they can participate in the filming of a film and get paid, which is indeed a good deal.

After Peter's explanation, the scene reporter ran to camera number one, turned around the cameras, and then began to play the board and announce the start of the scene.

Alex was standing behind the monitor at this time, but his eyes did not stay on the monitor screen, but raised his head to look at Hugo, who was more than twenty yards away from him, and gently bit the nail of his right thumb, trying to see Hugo's every movement clearly. Not only Alex, but Nicole was also standing next to her at this time, elegantly holding her chin, and a pair of wonderful eyes quietly watching everything that was happening on the field.

In an instant, the entire crew fell silent, and an ordinary morning in the square slowly kicked off.

Truman didn't choose to go to work, this was an unprecedented decision, breaking the routine of daily life, but Truman really had no way to go to work today, there were too many abnormal situations of uneasiness, and the restlessness and restlessness in his heart almost made him unable to concentrate. After leaving the company, he walked to the stone chair on the opposite side of the square, there were not too many people around, only some ordinary people were starting a new day, but even so, Truman still stood there and looked left and right uneasily, as if he was always worried about some uncertain factors.

Truman sat down slowly, his feet obediently together in front of the chair, his hands neatly on his knees, like a child in a kindergarten waiting to distribute snacks, but his shoulders couldn't help but droop slightly, his eyes looked around with uneasiness, and the panic between his eyebrows was surging gently like a cloud.

Truman's eyes were full of confusion, and he tried to find some anomalies around him, but he didn't know what he was looking for, so he could only look blankly at the raging crowd to see if he could find some clues.

Not far away, an elderly couple is sharing breakfast, chatting about trivial topics; A toddler next to him was slowly moving forward under his mother's care. Turning his head, next to the burrito snack cart, sat two gray-haired old men, holding a cup of coffee and a cigar in their mouths, smiling and chatting about the weather, their brisk expressions fainted in the early morning sun.

The confusion in Truman's eyes became more and more, and it became a thin mist, which continued on his amber eyes, because everything around him was too normal, and there was no abnormality at all, which made Truman begin to wonder if he was thinking too much, so was all the abnormality a coincidence? Or is he thinking too much about himself?

That trace of confusion makes people can't help but feel soft. Alex stood behind the monitor, and without realizing it, he took a small step forward, just trying to show the way to the lost man in front of him, that fragility being completely exposed to the sun, so direct, so cruel. Especially Alex clearly knows: Truman's suspicions are correct, he is like a rag doll being fiddled with by the program team, and Truman's confusion and hesitation are more and more unbearable.

Truman's slightly frowning eyebrows slowly stretched, and the tightness at the corners of his mouth loosened slightly, but he still couldn't help but search around with his eyes, and even tried to listen to those unfamiliar Spanish, eager to find a little trace to prove that he was not a madman, that he was not a cranky neurotic during the day.

At this moment, Truman saw a man in a hat across the street, he looked down at the time on his wrist - the problem was that he was not wearing a watch on his wrist at all, he had been quietly looking at Truman with his eyes, and when he looked up suddenly, the eyes of the two people collided, which made the man in the hat panic, avoided his gaze in panic, and then quickly walked away.

This...... It's so abnormal, the idea of "someone watching you" is rolling in Truman's mind again, if he was just a little uneasy and uncertain just now, now he is completely flustered, his pupils flutter sharply, and that fear reflects a silver light in the sun, making the rhythm of breathing change.

Truman hurriedly stood up, but the first attempt was unsuccessful, he fell back into the chair, but Truman did not pause, immediately stood up again, took a step forward, like a headless fly, and then realized that he had left his briefcase on the stone table, hurriedly picked it up, and quickly walked across the road.

But a gust of wind blew over, and with the sharp sound of brakes, everyone's hearts stopped, and a bus came to a near halt behind Truman's back!
