Superstar

Chapter 270: Top priority

It's been a week since "Seattle Sleepless" started up. After the initial run-in, the cast and crew gradually entered the state, but the content of the first week of filming was relatively simple, and the real test did not come. The scene to be filmed today is the top priority of the whole movie.

In the scene filmed today, Sam’s son Jonah called the radio station to express his hope to find a new wife for his father. Sam was very angry after knowing it, but still told about his experience under the patience of the host. He understood that Jonah needed a new mother, but he also knew that he would never find a perfect lover like before.

This phone call with the radio is the basis of the whole movie and the starting point of the story. It was this phone call that made Annie, who listened to the radio, a touch on Sam. It was also the phone call between two people in Seattle and Baltimore. The strangers are connected. Therefore, this call must be convincing, and there must be enough fire ‘flowers’ to convince the audience of the true emotions in it, so that the following story can unfold naturally.

In short, if Hugo's performance on this call is not convincing enough, then the whole movie is doomed to fail.

Therefore, Hugo has a huge pressure on his shoulders. This is also after "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo once again faced the challenge of acting in six months. Perhaps the difficulty of this scene is not as difficult as that of "Yihai Xiongfeng" and Jack Nico. Elson’s opponent play, because this play is Hugo’s one-man show, but the requirements for the depth and appeal of acting have taken a higher level.

When there is pressure, there is motivation. Hugo has been brewing his emotions for the past two days, hoping that he can win this scene. For a while, Tom Hanks appeared in the original "Sleepless in Seattle" performance. In fact, Tom's performance It is the most delicate, and the emotions are exuded between silent and "color". If you deliberately look for traces, there will be no results, because Tom often has no leverage during the performance, and it is also difficult to find out his hair. Strength, it seems that everything is naturally'exposed'.

Moreover, his age is also very different from Tom, so Hugo knows that he is going to imitate Tom in this scene, and he is doomed to fail. He must rely on himself to complete the scene.

So relying on Hugo’s own strength, what should he do? After Sam lost his wife, he fell into a slump and even changed his view of love and life. What kind of emotion is this? Hugo couldn’t help but think of himself in the first place. What he said to Nora during the second audition, those words are actually Hugo’s perception of Uma’s relationship, or a little psychological feeling, which means that Hugo must recall Uma’s relationship. The turbulent pain in her heart when Uma turned and left.

But... Hugo didn't want this. He couldn't help closing his eyes, suppressing the confusion in his heart, he couldn't remember those things, at least there was no way now.

"I'm ready." Hugo knew he could not delay any longer, so even if his emotions were not fully brewed in place, he still said this to Nora. Although he was still a little bit hesitant in his heart, he still did not say it in the end. .

Nora looked at the depression between Hugo's eyebrows, nodded, and then glanced at Rose who was standing at the door of the kitchen. After receiving a confirmation answer, she raised her voice and said, "Let's shoot!"

"Dad, someone is calling for you." Rose shouted in the direction of the balcony, and then Hugo pushed the ‘door’ and walked in, walked to the phone, and answered the phone.

At this time Hugo was wearing a simple t-shirt and overalls "trousers". Because of the cold weather, he wore a bottoming shirt and put on an open-neck t-shirt. This suit was when Hugo first auditioned. The selected clothing is the standard 90s blue-collar men's ordinary dress, and a turmeric'color' waterproof jacket is put on the outside, and the taste of the whole dress comes out.

A dark golden'colored' mid-length hair is messy and disorderly like a bird's nest, as if it was just a hairstyle that was taken care of by hand in the morning. Although the scum on the chin is shaved clean, there is a shallow layer. The'yin' shadow at five o'clock made him look a little more decadent. The handsome and sunny face lost five points because of the dull eyes, the frowning eyebrows were subtracted from the temperament, and the faint wrinkles on the brows and the corners of the eyes were the traces of the years, just a shining face. It is very convincing.

Hugo, who has gone through a simple make-up, now looks like a widower in his thirties, with a young widow and an eight-year-old child who lives alone. Although he does not have the calm charm of his forty-year-old, he is not too young at the same time. Losing persuasiveness, and more importantly, Hugo's mature yet energetic, brisk but hidden sadness made the entire crew including Nora amazed. Hugo now is Sam.

Sam answered the phone, only to hear a voice coming from the other end of the phone, "Hello, Sam, I’m Dr. Fei Dong from National Radio." This voice was made by Nora Efron reading the lines at the scene for Hugo. The drama is very vivid.

"What do you want to sell? Grilled'meat' rack, ninja knife?" Sam's tone was slightly heavy, with a trace of fatigue.

"I don't sell anything, I just want to help you." The doctor explained, "Your son calls and wants me to help you find a new wife."

Sam's eyes were full of doubts, and his brows frowned involuntarily, "Who are you?"

"Doctor Marcy Feidon, National Radio, you are live." Following the doctor's words, Sam turned his head in disbelief and looked at his son who was hiding in the door of the kitchen. His eyes were full of confusion. 'And entangled, then Sam moved the microphone a little bit and asked, "You call the radio?"

Jonah didn't dare to answer at all. He just hid with the phone. The doctor couldn't help calling out, "Sam, Sam, are you still there?"

Sam looked at the kitchen angrily. Even though Jonah could feel his father's anger across a wall, Sam could only hurriedly replied, "Yes" and then looked in the direction of the kitchen in confusion but angrily, trying Get a little answer from Jonah.

"Your son thinks that after your wife passed away, he has been depressed. He is very worried about you." The doctor explained.

Sam saw Jonah who came out quietly, raised his chin, raised his right hand to greet his son, "You, come out. Hurry up, I don't want to be embarrassed by myself!" Jonah held the phone helplessly , Listening to the receiver, slowly move it out step by step.

"I think it's difficult for him to'talk' to you, we can talk, maybe it will relieve Jonah. Sam?" The doctor persuaded persistently.

"Tell her that she is a doctor." Jonah also listened to the fixed phone in the kitchen and said to his father.

"What doctor? Maybe her name is ‘Doctor’." Sam still thinks all this is ridiculous, his brows that have just been stretched frown again, angry and helpless but sleepy and ‘confused’.

"Please?" Jonah said to his father. Those eyes looked at Sam pitifully, which made Sam unable to refuse. And on the phone came the doctor's voice, "Sam, this is his Christmas wish."

Sam looked at his son and nodded helplessly, "Okay." Then he slowly took off his coat and decided to stay indoors.

"I know it's difficult, but how long has your wife passed away?" the doctor asked.

"About a year and a half ago." Sam's voice fell involuntarily, and even he himself didn't notice that his gaze began to droop unconsciously.

"Have you had a'girl' friend since then?"

Sam was silent for a while and gave a very simple answer, "No."

"No? Why not?"

"Uh... Doctor Marcy? Or Doctor Feidong?" Sam raised his head and his voice returned to normal. After receiving a reply from "Doctor Marcy", Sam said, "Doctor Marcy, I don't want to be rude... "

"Oh, I don't want to visit people's ‘private’ either." The doctor said quickly.

"Of course you don't want to." Sam sarcastically, but the doctor didn't seem to understand Sam's meaning. "Let's talk, I'm listening." Unfortunately, Sam did not give any response, which made the doctor have to say again, "Sam? "This is the shortcoming of the radio. You never know what kind of person is on the other end of the radio wave.

Sam coughed lightly, and slowly picked up the phone and walked towards Jonah. "My son and I were in pain at first, but... we got through it." Sam said slowly and hardly, "I and Jonah. It will calm down... after I smashed his radio." Sam and Jonah walked face to face to the bench under the stairs. Sam was obviously still very dissatisfied with Jonah's call to the radio, and said depressed. arrive.

Sam’s complaint made the doctor laugh, and Jonah. Jonah sat down on the bench and looked at his father carefully. On the radio, the doctor was still saying, "I believe you are a good father, a human voice. You can hear a lot of his personality."

Sam said immediately, solemnly, "Of course you can!" The irony couldn't be more obvious.

But the doctor is already familiar with this situation and ignored ~www.readwn.com~ but for some reason, Jonah thinks you are still in a low tide. Just a few questions, can you sleep at night?"

When Sam opened his mouth to answer, he was directly interrupted by Jonah, "He didn't sleep at all at night."

"How do you know?" Sam frowned again unconsciously, looking at his son in surprise.

"I live here, Dad," the Jonah kid said loudly, making Sam a little speechless.

"Uh..." Sam tried to pretend to be okay, looking for a credible explanation, "In fact, Christmas is here." Sam was a little confused, he also sat down on the bench and placed the fixed phone heavily on the ground. Then he leaned on the back of the bench, hesitated and said, "Maggie, my wife, she warmly celebrates...she loves..." Sam opened his head every time, and said later. He couldn't continue. The heavy loneliness and pain made him unable to organize his own language at all. "She... arranged everything perfectly. Every time it comes to hard work, every child needs a mother. "Sam let his son sit next to him, then took him into his arms.

"Do you need a companion like Jonah?" the doctor asked, but Sam didn't know how to answer.
