"My role is not so fast, I just want to come and have a look, and then make a special trip to visit you." With a friendly smile on his face all the time, Will said sincerely, making it easy to get a liking to, "By the way, I'm playing Russell Case. Casse), we have some rivalry in the movie. ”

Russell Case, the man who sacrificed himself at the last moment of the movie and detonated the alien spaceship over the city, this is also a very important role, although not the protagonist, but in the original script, the role is not inferior to the so-called male protagonist Steve, who once participated in the Vietnam War, he claimed to have been captured by aliens, and after returning he was immersed in alcohol and couldn't extricate himself, and later showed courage in the moment of crisis on Earth and became a part of saving the earth. The company gave the role to Will, apparently optimistic about his prospects.

But what's interesting is that Hugo originally thought that after he played the leading role, Will wouldn't get the opportunity to show his ambitions, and the story could easily become a routine of a group of white people saving the earth, but Roland actually set Russell as a black man, and in this way made the whole story complete again.

"Looks like we need to have a good talk, you have a lot of important work to do." Hugo nodded solemnly and said, Will was stunned, and then realized that Hugo was talking about the role of Russell, and at the same time saying that Russell would steal a lot of the light that belonged to Steve.

Hugo's ridicule and self-deprecation made Will clap his hands and laugh, pointing at Hugo, "Hey, man, you're such a humorous man." ”

Looking at Will, who was smiling 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, will it make you happier?" Or do you want Cameron to say that? Then Sandra shrugged, "Dude, you know, I can help if you need it." ”

Sandra put her arms around Hugo's shoulders, "Hey, man, you're such a humorous man. ”

"Why I feel like I'm being transferred. What about the play? Hugo held his chin and fell into deep thought, and Will was already laughing until his stomach hurt, Hugo beckoned to the staff next to him, "I think he needs medical help." At this time, even Sandra couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, and the spittle of the girl scattered flowers that day made Hugo's eyes wide, "Hey! Lady! ”

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

"Looks like everybody gets along well, which is good news for us, right, Hugo?" A sunny and excited voice greeted him, and when he looked up, he saw Alan Strello striding forward, he was wearing an iron gray suit today, his posture was tall and imposing, which made people can't help but look sideways.

Will and Sandra looked back and saw Allen, and they immediately cheered up, and at the opening ceremony, they both knew that Allen was the real boss behind "Independence Day", in other words, Allen had the power of life and death in his hands. And Allen is different from Kevin Pence, he is not part of the film industry, he is just a simple businessman, such a talent needs to be vigilant - because he does not understand the operation mode of the industry, the only thing that can impress him is profit, to put it mildly, a layman does not know anything. So you can't follow common sense when dealing with Alan, and it's no wonder that Will and Sandra are cautious.

Hugo saw Allen 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, "I think it's good news for the actors." Hugo chuckled and said that he had been in contact with Alan twice, and he felt that Alan's personality was still relatively sunny and very easy to get along with, but Hugo also knew that this was also because they had no conflict of interest with Allen at the moment, and the real personality of a businessman like Allen was hidden, and only when the conflict of interest appeared, it would be revealed.

"Of course, it would be better if there were some small benefits, such as the big boss coming to visit the class," Hugo looked at Will and Sandra, both of whom still had smiles on their faces, but their activity had dropped significantly, "For example, when the big boss came to visit the class, he invited us to drink coffee and eat donuts." ”

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, are more often hired by a professional producer to call the shots on his behalf, for example, Allen is carte blanche to Twentieth Century Fox, and as far as they are concerned, they don't have much interest in the set.

The reason why Hugo said this was actually to ridicule Allen for not being at ease with the crew and personally supervising the scene, which is obviously a manifestation of the businessman's suspicion. Of course, Hugo's meaning is more subtle.

I didn't want Alan to laugh and pat his head, "Look at my memory, you can't always be empty-handed, right?" Alan smiled self-deprecatingly, then turned back to a black suit standing beside him and said, "Billy, now hurry up and order takeout, you go and ask how many staff there are on Roland site, in addition to coffee and donuts, and order some more pizza, I think it's almost noon." ”

Allen's response made Hugo a little overwhelmed, and he just said it casually...... Hugo looked at Sandra who was standing on the side, and the two exchanged a helpless look, and Will next to him also made a grimace, which made Hugo almost laugh.

"I just watched the shooting from the side, and it seems that everything is very smooth today, how about it, is there any special feeling to invest in a new shooting?" After Allen finished explaining, he went back and continued to communicate with Hugo.

This made Hugo stunned, Alan appeared in the crew from the beginning? And then hide to watch the shooting? Hugo was shocked, he didn't know if this was a common move by commercial film investors, such as the fact that today was the first day of official studio shooting, and they went to the scene to supervise, or Allen'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 took a rough look around, and found that due to Allen's appearance, Roland, Sergio and the others were standing a few steps away, hesitating to come forward and disturb, it can be seen that they were also very surprised, "I don't feel very comfortable, you know, I don't have any experience with green screen performances, all Yiqiē is fresh, and I was a little overwhelmed when I put it into filming just now," Hugo quickly organized his language and replied calmly, "Of course, I still need to adjust slowly next." ”

"Hehe......" Although Hugo covered it up well, Alan could still feel the difference, after all, although the first two meetings between the two people were not familiar, but at least they were relaxed, and the atmosphere today was obviously much tense, not to mention that Will and Sandra stood aside and laughed dryly, "Guys, take it easy, I have no intention of cutting the budget of the movie, nor do I plan to interfere with the production of the movie." ”

Allen's honesty made Sandra embarrassed, and she lowered her head and gave Hugo a look, as if to say, "Send him away quickly", "Kevin told you before, I've always been interested in movies, and I think it's a very interesting art, so I wanted to go to the set for a long time, you know, just to see the filming process, to see the actors' performances, you know, it's the kind of curiosity of movie lovers." Alan said quickly in a relaxed tone.

Hugo immediately understood what Allen meant, as if everyone would be more or less interested in the operation of the set, and when the crew was filming in public, it was always possible to attract onlookers.

"Especially not long ago, I just watched the 'Death Row Walk', and I really admired Hugo's performance, and I was very curious about what Hugo would be like working on the set, so I rushed here today." Alan looked at Hugo politely, his azure eyes soft and bright, releasing a friendly signal.

"Yes!" It was Will who answered, and his earth-shattering sound made Sandra and Hugo not hold back, and directly chuckled, which made Will touch his head a little embarrassed, "I think so too, so I made a special trip to the set today, Hugo's performance is really worth learning." ”

As if he had found his soulmate, Alan pointed his index finger at Will and said with a smile, "Look, that's what I mean." This somewhat absurd and somewhat childish action made the three of them no longer hold back, and they all chuckled, and the atmosphere finally eased.

"So, Hugo, you just said you don't fit in, what's going on? Green screen? So what? Alan looked at Hugo with a curious expression, as if he really had an infinite curiosity about the movie.

It makes sense to think about it, $100 million -- I've heard that Allen's check to Twentieth Century Fox is $150 million, and if Allen wasn't genuinely interested in movies, he wouldn't be so generous.

Hugo looked at Sandra, and then at Allen, "To be honest, it's not quite right for you to ask me to explain this kind of thing, because I'm confused myself, and I think it's more appropriate to need Roland or the computer special effects staff to come and explain......" The smile on Hugo's face finally relaxed, and explained according to his own understanding, while Alan listened attentively. This made the slightly tense atmosphere slowly relax, and although it was not obvious, it was at least a good sign.

It's not always easy for a boss to show up at work to supervise a work in the workplace, isn't it?

From Kevin to Allen to Roland, the problems behind a commercial film like "Independence Day" are obviously not so simple, and Hugo has already felt it before the film starts filming - the grand opening ceremony, the lively media interviews, this qiē is completely new. It seems that Rick is right, when Hugo stars in a real commercial blockbuster, the situation will be very different, this is a completely different new world.
