Chapter 717: 717

The filming of "Life and Death" was fully on track, during which time the crew had been filming on the unfinished Interstate 105 and Interstate 110 in California. Since the road has not yet been completed, there are no other vehicles, which provides a convenient environment for the crew, and also allows the crew to exclude the noise of the reporters from the outside.

However, due to the increasing number of thrilling scenes, the number of Hugo's personal appearances also decreased sharply, because these scenes had to be performed by professional stuntmen, and Igor finally came in handy.

When Jane-de-Bont was inspecting the location, he noticed the unfinished part of the road, and there was a section missing a large part of the road, so he asked screenwriter Graham Jost to add a scene of the bus flying over the unfinished road. The actual shooting of this plot was very difficult. The crew planned for a month and experimented for nearly a week before they actually started shooting.

The crew used a high-grade, high-carrying lane, and in order to allow the bulky bus to fly fifty feet into the air, the crew removed all unnecessary body parts as much as possible. The bus that completed this stunt was only the driver, Igor, and the crew installed shock-absorbing buffers on the seats to prevent the driver from hurting his spine.

When it was time to actually shoot, the first attempt ended with the bus sliding off the slope and crashing. Fortunately, the protective measures were in place and Igor was not injured. After that, the crew planned for two more days before making the second attempt. This time the jump was very successful, and it perfectly achieved the goal planned by the crew. It was just that when the bus landed, it hit a camera and lost a lot of images.

Fortunately, the second and third cameras, located seventy feet away from the slope, captured the spectacular scene.

At the moment when the bus landed, the entire crew turned into a sea of ​​joy. This festive atmosphere infected everyone in the crew, even weeping, and at the same time made the crew more united. I have to say that "Life and Death" is the happiest and most united crew that Hugo has ever experienced so far. Perhaps this is also directly related to the theme. Of course, the partner is also an indispensable part.

After entering the second half of "Life and Death", Hugo's work began to be thrilling again. In order to film a scene where he tried to defuse a bomb under the car, the entire crew spent three days at Los Angeles International Airport. Hugo was injured for the first time. A large piece of his left knee was torn apart, and he could even see fresh meat. Fortunately, it was just a bruise, not a bone or a bone. After Hugo was bandaged, he recovered. Into shooting.

In this regard, Hugo is still in the mood to ridicule, "I was shooting an action movie, and I was injured for the first time after entering the crew for a month. This is such a strong ability." This made the crew not know whether to cry or laugh.

In fact, at the beginning of the script, this scene was intended to be filmed in the parking lot of Dodger Stadium (Dodger. Stadium), but the crew did not obtain permission and went to the tarmac of Los Angeles International Airport to start shooting.

In the United States, the most popular sport is always rugby, and its charm is overwhelming; but the national ball in the United States is baseball, and Major League Baseball (MLB) is also the only sports event in the American sports market that can threaten rugby. The U.S. Basketball Professional League (NBA), which has an unprecedented influence, can only rank third in the United States, and there is a big gap between football and baseball, and it can only compete with ice hockey.

Dodger Stadium is a professional baseball venue and is the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Due to the special awkward position of the Los Angeles football team - Los Angeles, an immigrant city, does not have a football team of its own, and immigrants all support their hometown football team, while California There are also three NFL teams: the San Francisco 49ers, the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders, so the football fans in the city of Los Angeles are on their own, which makes the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, etc. The team became the pride of the city. Among them, the Los Angeles Dodgers are one of the teams with the longest history, the most far-reaching influence and the most fans in Major League Baseball, and their influence is not trivial.

Therefore, "Life and Death" chose Dodger Stadium in the hope of being closer to life, but unfortunately, it is very difficult to impress the Dodger Stadium with an unnamed small crew that only invested 28 million US dollars. I can see a little bit of influence that the media is generally not optimistic about the "speed of life and death".

Finally, the crew came to Los Angeles International Airport. But this also indirectly created the magnificent scene of the bus crashing into the plane, which was also the most arduous task of the blasting team of the entire "Speed ​​of Life and Death" crew.

The Los Angeles International Airport is very heavy, and the crew spends a lot of time here. At this time, the crew is discussing the shooting policy for the next scene. Hugo got a short break, and he and Sandra discussed the next scene. play the problem of cooperation between them.

"Hugo." Joseph's voice came from behind him. Originally, Joseph didn't need to come to the crew, but since Hugo gave his life to perform on the highway, he has recently come to the crew to report together every day.

However, it can be seen that Joseph has been very busy recently. When he was on the set, the ringtone of his mobile phone was almost never interrupted. Hugo guessed that it should be the work of Nicolas Cage. Hugo tried to persuade Joseph to go back to the office and focus on his own work, after all, Samora was there to take care of the crew. But Joseph refused, "I work in the office anyway. There is no difference between me here and in the office, but the location is different."

Hugo looked back and saw Joseph and Samora standing in tandem. Due to the backlight, he could not see the expressions on their faces, but he could vaguely see the confusion on Samora's face. Hugo and Sandra said "sorry" and walked in the direction of the two.

After approaching, Hugo noticed Joseph's hesitation, and he didn't think much about it, and asked directly, "What's wrong? What's wrong with the crew?" Hugo looked at Jane who was in a meeting, and he thought it was going down Controversy arose over the shooting schedule for a scene.

Joseph shook his head, "No, it's not like this, it's just..." Joseph paused, carefully observing Hugo's expression, "Someone came to visit the class." After Joseph finished speaking, he paused again before adding To, "Cameron Diaz."

Joseph was actually worried about whether Cameron should be let in. Because Joseph would never forget that Uma took the initiative to visit Hugo's class at the beginning, but so many unpleasant things happened after that, so Joseph has always been more strict about visiting the class.

Hugo reacted immediately, he also thought of Uma, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse. After being bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the rope, which is probably what he meant. He also understood Samora's confusion, because Samora didn't know the ins and outs of the Uma incident, and naturally he didn't know why only an actress came to visit the class, and Joseph was so nervous.

Just, Cameron Diaz? Will she really be like this, or will she be different? Hugo fell silent and thought about it for a while. He recalled the times he had spent with Cameron in the past, and he could feel the closeness of the sun on Cameron.

But... it's not important, the most important thing is that he can't give up food because of choking, he can't deny his life because of one Uma, it's not worth it. He no longer cares about Uma, and naturally he will not change his life because of Uma. He will not draw a cage for himself and make himself sad. What's more, everyone is different and Cameron is not Uma. This is just a visit.

Thinking of this, Hugo heaved a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile, "It's my honor that someone is willing to rush to the airport to visit the class, isn't it? Of course you are welcome, of course."

Joseph didn't answer immediately, he noticed the slight change in Hugo's face, after all, the two were already so familiar. At this moment, Joseph confirmed again and again that there was no reluctance or hesitation in Hugo's smile, and then nodded, "Okay, I'll introduce her to him in the past."

Joseph turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he realized that Samora hadn't followed, and then he shouted, "Samora, come here, I need your help with something."

Samora didn't think much about it, and quickly chased after him, "Joe, what's the matter?"

Joseph hesitated for a moment. He knew that Hugo did not like to speak out about private matters. Hugo was a person who paid great attention to privacy, but the problem was that Samora was Hugo's assistant, so Samora had to know some key taboos. Otherwise, the trouble will be unpleasant in the end, and everyone will be depressed. However, Joseph is still a little hesitant. After all, assistant is a position that is changed very frequently. No one knows how long Samora wants to last, maybe six months, maybe a year.

After thinking about it, Joseph knew that Samora had been working very well in the past three months. He felt that although he could not reveal the details, he could still give a rough idea. As for the details, as long as Samora stayed long enough, maybe Time will tell him everything. "Well, how much do you know about the mention of Uma and Hugo in the news?"

At least, Joseph can explain to Samora what has been exposed in the news, so that Samora can get a preliminary grasp of the situation.

Hugo turned around and walked towards Sandra again. Sandra looked at Hugo who was in deep thought. Her first reaction was that there was a problem with the filming of the crew, "What's the matter, the next scene needs to be adjusted?"

Hugo came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head, "No, I have a friend who came to visit the class."

"Friend?" Sandra immediately showed a meaningful smile, "Boyfriend or girlfriend?"

Hugo was also amused by Sandra's teasing, "Can I say both? They are friends anyway, so that's right."

"Oh hoo hoo, beautiful woman!" Sandra laughed brilliantly, and even applauded and coaxed, which made Hugo very helpless, but Sandra shook her head and raised her chin when she saw Hugo's expression. Looking over Hugo's shoulder, "I mean it, beautiful woman!"
