Chapter 705: Driving fear

Running, running, running... After Hugo ran back and forth seven times, he couldn't help but began to gasp. Don’t underestimate this scene. Hugo’s seven runs require not only running, but also continuous sprinting. The difficulty must not be underestimated even with the lines.

But the shooting is still not over. Jane still needs to shoot from different angles inside the carriage, presenting the picture from the perspective of the passengers, so Hugo still has to keep running.

Hugo remembers that after "Transformers 2" was released in 2009, the heroine Megan Fox was outspoken in an interview, saying that the director Michael Bay (.Bay) was a tyrant, and even compared him to Adolf Hee. special. Le. At that time, Megan said that she had been shooting for twelve hours on the film set, and that she had been running all the time, aimlessly and endlessly, which made her almost collapsed.

At that time, many people couldn't agree with Megan's view, thinking Megan was playing a big name, and after relying on the "Transformers" series to become famous, he went head-on with the director.

But in fact, anyone who has watched "Transformers 2" will remember that the male and female protagonists are indeed running continuously in the movie, and even the lines are very few, running from the beginning to the end. This is indeed an extreme challenge to the physical strength of the actors.

And Hugo now deeply understands this feeling. Although he does not run as much as Megan, Hugo has been running for nearly an hour in order to shoot this scene, the main reason is that Hugo must adjust. Breathing and shooting with a refreshing look, it can't show that a panting and sweating Jack is chasing the bus. This not only damages the hero's image, but also does not conform to the movie's plot setting. Therefore, Hugo often shoots twice, rests to adjust his breathing, but does not have enough time to fully recover, and then continues to run.

This method is very exhausting. Comparing with running a marathon, athletes need to maintain a constant pace to run, so as to reduce physical consumption to a minimum, and then there will be enough energy to burst out when they need to break out; variable speed running, emergency stop, etc. The consumption of physical strength has increased exponentially, which is also the reason why the fixed-point variable-speed reentry is regarded as "suicide" in basketball training.

Hugo is like this now. Accelerating, stopping, adjusting, accelerating, accelerating, stopping, adjusting... This kind of cycle makes Hugo unable to find an accurate rhythm, and often has to play again when his physical strength is not fully recovered.

After forty-five minutes, Hugo only felt that the air inhaled in his lungs became hot. Compared with the mental work of testing acting skills, the physical work of testing the body is definitely not easy.

"Ka!" Jane's voice came again, "Well, take a 30-minute rest and prepare for the next scene." Jane finally ended Hugo's torture, which made Hugo a long sigh of relief.

The next scene is a drag racing scene, which is relatively simpler, because the so-called drag racing here is actually not pure speed, but Hugo driving a sports car to chase the bus, but in the dense traffic, The speed is not too fast at all; and after catching up with the bus, the task of the sports car is to stop the bus, not to compete for speed.

But compared to the scene just now, the next scene is what worries Joseph. He will not forget that Hugo’s fear of driving is not physical, but psychological. Hugo has not been able to do anything yet. Driving by yourself can’t erase the bad memories of a car accident. Therefore, Joseph came to the set early, just worried about the shooting of the next scene.

Watching Hugo pacing back and forth in the highway with no one and no car, and adjusting her breathing, Samora stood beside him with a water bottle, towels and other utensils, ready to serve Hugo at any time. Although the forty-five minutes of variable-speed running just now made Hugo's physical function to the extreme, but the actual running time is estimated to be 25 minutes, and half of it is adjusted, so the most important thing is muscle soreness. The physical exertion is not as severe as imagined.

Hugo paced back and forth, doing leg presses to relax, keeping his body muscles warm and relaxing little by little. The physical training of the previous period of time finally showed its power at this time. Although Hugo felt that his lungs were breathing very hot, he persisted, and he could clearly feel the slow recovery of physical fitness.

Joseph stood on the spot to sort out his thoughts, and walked up hesitatingly. He looked at Hugo who was warming up, but Joseph didn't know how to speak, because Hugo had never mentioned it in the past two years or so. After that car accident, every time when a driving problem was involved, Hugo also took it all at once, and he didn't want to mention it too much. Now, when Joseph wanted to bring up this matter suddenly, he also found it very difficult, but he could only stand in place and looked at Hugo with a touch of worry.

Hugo was stretching the muscles of his thighs, and he quickly noticed Joseph's sight-it doesn't work if he didn't pay attention, Joseph was just worried, and Samora was standing next to him and it was unclear. Hugo didn't think too much, and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

As soon as Joseph gritted his teeth, he bit his head and said, "The next scene, you need to drive, are you... okay?"

Hugo's stretching movement became stiff involuntarily, but he recovered quickly and continued to move his muscles, but he was a little absent-minded.

Driving is really a hurdle in Hugo's heart, not only by Hugo Chen, but also by Lancaster. Every time I think of sitting in the driver's seat-even if it's just imagining, the pain in his left knee will spread piercingly. Come, let him palpitations for a while. Hugo knows that this is the result of the overwhelming psychological shadow of the car accident, but knowing the root cause does not mean that he can overcome it. This is not poison. Product, this is the fear from the depths of the soul, from the moment of life and death.

Hugo closed his eyes, and the fear in the darkness immediately surrounded him. Hugo knows that being in a "country on wheels" is really deadly if he can't drive. He has already crossed the United States back and forth, but he has never been able to sit in the driver's seat. This is a disease that may require a psychiatrist to treat it, but... Hugo is not even willing to face it now.

Hugo had a moment of hesitation when he took the filming of "Life and Death Hour", but then he agreed because he remembered that Jack did not drive a car in this movie-it was Sander who drove the bus. Annie played by La. That's why he took it without any psychological obstacles, but now it seems that Hugo's memory is still a bit vague, and the next scene is missing. Although it is only a brief scene, Hugo does need to sit in the driver's seat.

Hugo took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and saw the worry in Joseph's eyes, and Samora, who was standing next to him, frowned seemingly. Samora actually didn't understand what happened, but when he heard Joseph's worries about "driving" and the stagnation of Hugo's movements, Samora also realized that Hugo seemed to have obstacles to driving.

Just a brief recollection, Zamora discovered that Hugo had never driven a car during a road trip before and during his work in the last few months. At first, Samora thought it was because of Hugo's bad sense of direction, so everyone did not allow Hugo to drive. But it does not seem to be the case now.

"I talked to Jane about this scene, because there are a lot of scenes in the traffic flow, and then you need to chase the bus. It is best to need professionals to complete it, so it will be performed by a professional stand-in." Actually from a few days Earlier, Hugo was worried about this scene. If he could, he would be willing to go to battle in person, absolutely; but driving...he really couldn't help it. Therefore, Hugo also had a discussion with Jane, and had a preliminary expectation for this scene, "Moreover, there are some scenes that require dialogue and driving side by side. For filming considerations, we will complete the filming on the trailer. "

The so-called trailer is to put the sports car and the bus on two trailers respectively, and the trailer will complete the forward movement, while the actors need to complete the dialogue and performance. This is also a necessary measure to avoid traffic accidents.

"But what about close-ups and close-ups?" Joseph knew that the problem was not that simple. By then, there would definitely be some close-up shots of the front of Hugo driving, and it would be impossible to use avatars for all.

Hugo fell silent, just biting his own teeth, "I, I can try." Although he said that, but just thinking about it, Hugo felt that his brain was dark, and the shuddering feeling left him behind. His sweat became icy in an instant, like falling into an ice cellar.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the boundless blood began to swallow the darkness. The sharp sound of tires rubbing against the ground when braking, the roar and explosion when the car rolled over, all the noise swarmed in and swallowed him completely. The muscles started to tremble.

Hugo opened his eyes apprehensively The bright sunshine around made Hugo panting heavily. Although he was still uneasy and messy, he was still a little calmer after all.

Hugo fell silent and stood there without saying a word, neither did Joseph and Samora speak. Joseph looked at Hugo's state and knew that Hugo could not drive, absolutely not. This made Joseph a little bit annoyed. He had known that he should have pushed the script of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" earlier. But Joseph knew this was impossible. When Hugo took the lead and left the "speed of life and death", their relationship was still very tight. If Joseph pushed the script that Hugo fancyed again, maybe the two of them would have to clear up their previous suspicions. It's not that simple anymore.

But even so, Joseph still felt a little annoyed.

Hugo seemed to be confused in his thoughts, he took a deep breath, "I'll go and contact the preparation team, it's behind." After speaking, he exchanged glances with Joseph and Samora in a panic, then turned and left.

Joseph and Samora stood there, watching Hugo leaving behind, at a loss, Samora wanted to catch up, but Joseph stopped him, then shook his head, "Let him calm down." Joseph thought carefully. After thinking about it, I decided to talk to Jane and see if there is any way to use the trailer to complete the close-up and close-up.
