The significance of script practice is to familiarize the actors with their lines, gradually enter the performance state, and cultivate a tacit understanding with the opponent actors. At the same time, it also allows the director and screenwriter to have a certain understanding of the rhythm of the whole performance, and if there is a need to make adjustments, it is a correct choice to do it before the start of filming.

Therefore, Hugo naturally did not mind Nicole's request and restarted the practice of this scene. But it's a pity that Nicole is no longer in shape, and after practicing three more times, it still feels completely wrong, and Nicole is inevitably a little irritable, and after apologizing to Peter and Hugo, she temporarily went for a walk to the side to breathe fresh air.

Hugo and Peter sat there, looking at each other and smiling. Peter is appreciative, while Hugo is helpless.

"Truman's World" is a dark reality comedy that ties almost all of the story to Truman, but in fact, it was quite challenging for two of Truman's closest people, his wife Meryl and his friend Malone. The choice of Nicole Kidman as Meryl and Alexander Lorraine as Malone is not only a business consideration, but also a trust in them.

In the story, Truman's life is a grand hoax, and everyone must join forces to deceive Truman together. But everyone ignores the fact that Truman is over thirty years old, and the people around him have been with him for thirty years, even if it is just with a pet for thirty years, there will be feelings, let alone humans?

For Truman's best friend Ma Long, he shoulders the responsibility of a "friend", he must make up for the part that Meryl can't take care of, so as to make friends, in the name of brotherly righteousness, while supporting Truman, he must cooperate with the program team to continue to deceive Truman and keep Truman in this reality show. Malone is Truman's best friend - Truman is so convinced, but what does Malone think? Is it just a job, a role, or a real friend? So, deception becomes more and more difficult and painful. Not only Truman, but Malone is also tormented between reality and fantasy, between truth and lies.

The role of Malone is also a huge challenge for Alex, and it depends on how he grasps it next.

Meryl and Malone have similarities and differences. The biggest difference is that love and friendship are never the same, in many cases, love needs a spark, passion or chemistry, two people can be good friends but not necessarily become lovers, and vice versa. Therefore, relationships and friendships in love are also different.

Marlon has unknowingly truly regarded Truman as a friend, but Meryl has never truly regarded Truman as her husband; Meryl is just the name of "Truman's wife", just like the name of the character in the movie, her real name is Hannah Gill, but Malone uses her real name. This is the biggest difference between love and friendship. The difficulty faced by Malone is to continue to deceive Truman against his heart; And the difficulty Meryl faced was to continue to love Truman against her heart.

For Hannah, she doesn't love Truman, Truman is not her type, too childish, too naïve, and too mediocre. Hannah just regarded this as a job, a long-term meal ticket, and a springboard that could make her acting career shine, so Hannah has always been very objective and conscientious to play the role of Meryl, becoming a "good mother and wife who loves Truman wholeheartedly". Hannah will not refuse any request from the program team, even if the program team asks her to give birth to a child for Truman.

But here's the problem, it's just a job for Hannah, but for Truman, it's a marriage, a love, and he longs to get a response, recognition, and a tacit understanding from his wife, who is the most important part of Truman's life, and Marlon - and Sylvia in his memories make up his life.

In the face of Truman's true feelings, Hannah not only can't show her feet, but also has to give Truman a response, she needs to play the role of a good wife, and she needs to maintain this perfect marriage. But in fact, Hannah feels that Truman is getting more and more annoying - because Truman's impatience is ruining her career, and because Truman's cranky thoughts annoy her, she just wants to deal with Truman's "emotional call" so-so, and continue to do this reality show, this is work, not personal private life, public and private must be clear but cannot be distinguished, which makes Hannah very painful, so she always has a deliberate and hypocritical smile on her face, like a delicate mask, maintaining this "God-destined" marriage.

Therefore, the character of Hannah is actually very complicated, always hovering on the edge, even more difficult than Malone.

In the historical Jim Carrey version of "Truman's World", the character of Hannah is played by Laura Linney. Linney), the actress who ushered in a full-scale explosion of acting skills after entering the 21st century, has won three Oscar nominations, and has won many Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.

However, when starring in "Truman's World", Laura's performance was not yet fully formed, lacking the carving of details and the foreshadowing of the characters, although the performance of the whole movie was good, but it lacked the slowly advancing changes, as well as the excavation of inner intricacies and struggles, the sense of struggle in the play of "a real actor playing a Hollywood actor to play a reality TV role" was not shown at all, which is quite embarrassing.

Now, played by Nicole Kidman, objectively speaking, Nicole is more suitable than Laura, her porcelain doll-like appearance coincides with the "perfect marriage" deliberately created by the program team in "Truman's World", and it is ironic to interpret the definition of traditional perfect marriage in this simple and straightforward way. And the noble and elegant taste in Nicole's temperament is even more incompatible with the slightly silly Truman, which makes the hypocrisy of marriage more distinct.

If Nicole can really delve into the role of Hannah and spark with Hugo during the performance, it will definitely make the finished movie a higher level.

But judging from the practice just now, Nicole's grasp of Hannah is not accurate.

To put it simply, in this scene just now, Hannah is wholeheartedly playing the role of Meryl's wife, and Truman at this time is just full of doubts, he doesn't even know what he wants, he just wants to try to break the rules. Therefore, Meryl faced Truman's request, more like coaxing a child, with a pampering of the child, to cope with the child's request, as if the child asked to eat an ice cream before dinner, and then she smiled and persuaded the child to buy the ice cream first and put it in the refrigerator, and then wait for dinner to eat it.

This kind of "pampering" coaxing should also be dealt with a little bit, not impatient, because Meryl feels that Truman is just a whim, just like in daily life we often say "I want to quit my job and travel the world", such an impulse will appear every once in a while, but it will never be really implemented. So, Meryl just smiled and coped, as if Truman was joking.

It wasn't until later, when Truman mentioned it three times and twice, that Meryl gradually felt irritated and even a little angry with Truman - because Truman's whimsical ideas were likely to ruin Hannah's career as an actor.

This gradual change is crucial to the foreshadowing of the whole story.

But Nicole didn't grasp the key word "pampering", and the whole line practice was too impatient, and her expression was too stiff. Nicole's performance is more of Hannah than Meryl, and that's exactly what the beginning of the movie shouldn't be. If the image is a little bit of a point, it should be Meryl when the movie first appears, and as the plot progresses, Hannah's proportions begin to gradually increase, and finally the two characters of Hannah and Meryl become blurred, causing Hannah's mentality to be completely unbalanced.

Correspondingly, Hugo's performance just now was already very in place, he brought out Truman's confusion with a hint of excitement, like a child who got the treasure map and couldn't wait to find the treasure, he needed a partner, a partner who supported his idea - Malone didn't agree with his idea, so he turned to his wife, and the eagerness and earnestness of longing for recognition were heartily expressed in a pair of eyes.

However, Hugo also thinks that this kind of performance is a bit too forceful, and he deliberately makes it a little more dramatic to match the sense of comedy, which is not a problem in itself, but Hugo feels that his performance of Truman is a little too naïve. Truman's mentality should be simple and optimistic, but not naïve, this subtle difference is difficult to see only from the eyes, more in the rhythm of speech and the arc of the movement.

Therefore, Hugo is still in the process of gradually entering the state, and he still needs to run in little by little, and gradually polish the correct appearance of Truman. But even so, Nicole still felt the delicate but tenacious power of Hugo's performance, which had affected her performance, which made her deeply feel that the rhythm of her performance was completely wrong, not only because her rhythm was messed up by Hugo, but also because she felt the vitality that Hugo gave to the lines, but it did not appear in Meryl.

Nicole realized that she was dragging her feet, but she couldn't find the reason for a while, so she took the initiative to ask for a pause to rest, wanting to calm down and think seriously and clear her mind again.

Facing the sea breeze, Nicole's mind was a little confused, before entering the "Truman's World" crew, she began to look forward to it, looking forward to playing against Hugo, and even more looking forward to her acting talent to shine, she wanted to prove to people that she is also a good actor, even not inferior to Hugo.

When she arrived at the crew today, she was full of confidence. But now, she was not so sure, and looked back at Hugo, who was sitting quietly in a chair and reading the script repeatedly, and the bitterness on Nicole's tongue was dancing.
