1815.Chapter 1815 1815
The filming of "L.A. Confidential" made Hugo absolutely not let his guard down, especially the particularity of Ed's character, he needed to break the audience's fixed impression of Hugo as soon as he appeared on the stage, so that the audience hated Eddard deeply, and the most difficult reason was that there was no flashpoint and borrowing point in the opening part, so Hugo could only rely on his own acting skills to achieve this goal.
So, after a whole day of shooting, Hugo's spirit was completely tense, and there was hardly a moment of relaxation. Like a duck on the surface of a lake, it looks laid-back on the surface, but underneath the water it is paddling desperately.
However, this feeling of extreme nervous tension is really a long time away, and once again Hugo feels the joy of the performance process. The biggest difference from the tension during the filming of "Death Row Walk" is that Hugo is now more comfortable and controllable, and the line between reality and drama is clear again. Therefore, after the shooting, although he was very tired, Hugo was in a happy mood.
"Hugo, Hugo......" Charlize's voice came from behind him, and Hugo and Russell and Heath, who were walking side by side, also stopped, "Are you going to go back now?" β
Hugo shook his head, "No, Curtis will discuss with me about the grouping of tomorrow's shooting, we will split into three groups, you know about this, right?" β
"I know." Charlize nodded in affirmation, "I watched your shooting just now, and I have some questions I want to ask you, and we'll talk about it when you're free." β
Hugo looked at Russell and Hiss beside him, smiled and patted their arms, "Okay, you guys go back first." See you tomorrow. Then Russell and Heath said goodbye to Charlize and left the police together. Inspectorate. Hugo looked back at Charlize with a puzzled face, and explained, "Russell is asking me the reason for the NG of those scenes just now, he has his own understanding of acting, but it is a little different from Kevin and me, so he is still in the run-in period, hoping to find the rhythm through communication." β
Charlize reacted, it turned out that she, like them, was looking for Hugo for advice, and she couldn't help laughing, "Then you can start a class." β
"Are you sure you want to come to class?" Hugo said with a smile, which made Charlize shake his head again and again with a smile on his face. In fact, Hugo has always known that he is from a non-professional background, he can act well, but he may not teach well, and his methods are different from other actors, and he cannot teach by word and deed. When discussing with friends such as Leonardo and Charlize, Hugo shared his experience more than imparted it.
Hugo turned his head to look around, trying to find a place to sit, but at this time all the staff were packing up their props, and it was a busy scene, and there was no place to sit. Hugo simply walked out with Charlize and sat down on the steps next to the entrance of the police station in a position that would not interfere with the entry and exit of others.
Charlize didn't speak immediately, but looked Hugo up and down, as if he hadn't seen Hugo for months, which made Hugo frown and say with a serious face, "Do I need to introduce myself?" β
Charlize didn't smile, but thought about it carefully, and actually nodded, "May I ask who you are?" Instead, Hugo choked and looked at Charlize with a smile, and then explained, "I mean, you're in a weird state today, and it feels like you're constantly changing between the two characters, and on the surface it doesn't seem to be any different, but it makes it obvious whether it's Hugo or Ed. β
"So, who am I now?" Hugo smiled at Charlize's puzzled gaze.
Charlize just carefully scanned the corners of Hugo's eyes and mouth, and then said decisively, "Hugo." "I don't want Hugo to raise his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth outline a shallow smile, and I can vaguely detect that he seems to have curled his tongue, and there is a flash of contempt in his eyes." Ed Eisley! Charlize immediately screamed. But then the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth hooked up again, and it seemed to bloom, and the sunlight in his eyes was gently released, which made Charlize pat his head in annoyance, "Hell God, it's not fun, Hugo!" β
It feels like a fantasy, how can a person change his temperament between talking and laughing, or even just rely on the subtle changes in his smile and eyes. But this is precisely Hugo's current acting ability, he does not necessarily create a completely unfamiliar image, but on the basis of his own image, through the way of shaping the character's personality and story, he develops the part of the characteristics that belong to the character, and finally uses accurate performance methods to convey this feeling.
The combination of methodist acting and expressive acting, Hugo is still in the initial exploration, but the initial results are already amazing.
It may seem easy to describe, but in fact it requires more than just a lot of acting experience, soul exploration, tireless experimentation, and precise control of the performance. After the "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Prisoner Walk", Hugo had a preliminary glimpse of the palace, and he has not been able to see the whole picture so far.
Seeing Charlize's expression, Hugo laughed heartily, and Charlize asked curiously, "How the hell did you do that?" β
Hugo spread his hands, "You've always known, haven't you?" "On the road of performance, their group of friends have always been learning from each other. It's just that everyone's talent is different, everyone's understanding is different, and the way and results are presented are also different.
Charlize bit his lower lip and chewed it carefully, "But when I was thinking about the role of Lynn just now, compared with you, including Kevin and Russell, I always felt that something was missing, it seemed to be ...... A little spark was missing. β
Hugo adjusted his sitting position and assumed a posture of listening attentively, and without him having to speak, Charlize continued, "There is so little description of Lynn in the script that I feel a little confused. β
"Perhaps, this means that there are more white spaces for you, and there are more parts that you can play freely." Hugo's words made Charlize stunned, then crossed his legs, his right hand on his knee, and thought carefully, "If that's the case......"
"I can't think that Lynn became a prostitute. Female, because the family has undergone a great change, she needs money, for example, for her mother, who is seriously ill in bed? Charlize said hesitantly, and after saying that, she raised her head to look at Hugo, only to find that Hugo's eyes had a look of suspicion, which made her frown slightly, "No, this is too clichΓ©, and it has no connection to the story, and Lynn seems to be out of the story." β
"So...... Lynn may be a smart and beautiful girl who knows her strengths and knows how to use them, so she came to Los Angeles to seek opportunities for growth. But she didn't want to run into Pierce, she originally thought it was an opportunity to succeed, but it became an opportunity for her to fall into a sea of misery...... No, with her ingenuity, it's not impossible if she wants to leave...... Could it be that she still believes that if she stays in Hollywood, she will have a chance to stand out? β
Charlize seemed to have forgotten that Hugo was beside him, and was babbling on his own, lost in thought as he spoke.
Hugo knows that the most difficult part of methodist acting is to rely on his own brain to construct the life of the whole character, which not only requires rich experience, but also needs enough real references, so Robert De Niro experienced the life of a real taxi driver for months for the sake of "taxi driver".
Charlize is still too young to be able to fall short when it comes to building characters. Seeing that she was stuck, Hugo reminded, "Why did Lynn choose Bard instead of Eddard in the end?" β
Charlize raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Maybe, maybe she once got the opportunity to leave, but because she believed in love and believed in men, she missed the opportunity after being betrayed!" So, before she met Bud, she was actually sad and living a miserable life - no, she was supposed to be getting by, and at the same time trying to get revenge on those bad men, she knew how to take advantage of men's greed and lust. Hope, she also knows how to use her advantages to achieve her goals, but in fact, deep down, she is still tired of this kind of life, and has been longing to have a ...... Oh hell God...... There is a prince charming who is able to save himself out. β
Charlize still doesn't believe in fairy tales, but she wants to play a prostitute who has a fairy tale dream deep down. Female character. Hugo smiled dumbly and whispered, "Who knows, maybe the reason why you don't believe it is because you are afraid of disappointment, and deep down, you also hope that the fairy tale can become a reality." β
Charlize looked at Hugo in front of her, she wasn't quite sure, Hugo was helping her find the common ground between her and Lynn, or really analyzing her heart, which made Charlize distracted for a moment, but quickly reacted and focused on the character of Lynn, "So, Bard's uprightness and kindness attracted Lynn, not the ambitious, hypocritical and greedy Eddard." β
"Hey, I'm not a bad person, I'm just a nerd who sticks to justice." Hugo's words did not cause any reaction from Charlize at all, and they were directly ignored, which made him touch his nose in frustration.
Charlize has gradually formed a whole system in her mind at this time, as Hugo said, the role of Lynn leaves her a lot of room to play, but how to focus on the few scenes to show? "Hugo, how the hell did you do that? I mean, really, how did you get the details of the characters so accurately that before we even knew it, the whole character came to life, as if ...... It's as if that character really exists. β
