1823. Chapter 1823 1823 Mentor's Guide
Curtis wanted to scold, he had already stood up, but after seeing everyone in the audience applauding, he couldn't help laughing, and finally shook his head, and he also took the initiative to applaud. On the contrary, the field reporter standing next to him was at a loss: when should this be over?
Of course, the most innocent are Hugo and Kevin. performed well, and in the end, only the director was left to shout "card", and the scene could be over. But now that the situation has been disrupted like this, it is very likely that the whole scene will have to be re-filmed.
The feeling of this scene just now is very right, the aura of the two people is completely together, from the rehearsal to the official shooting, the two of them brewed for nearly 20 minutes, and then they were completely hearty and full of exertion in the shooting. But it is precisely because the two of them played well that this led to the appearance of applause, so that it ruined the sense of integrity of the scene. So, should we be happy with this perfection just now, or should we resent this perfection? It's a feeling that makes people laugh and cry.
In the end, Hugo and Kevin could only look at each other helplessly, and they both seemed a little overwhelmed. Obviously, after filming for so many years, I have encountered all kinds of accidents, and today I have added a new emergency.
When the applause was over, Heath was still extremely excited, his eyes widened, and he jumped up and down in front of Russell, "Wow, did you just see that?" See? Hugo's eyes have changed, completely changed, he is simply a completely different person! Did you see that? ”
Seeing that Hiss was so excited, Russell's reproachful words were not easy to say again, and Charlize next to him also burst out laughing, "Of course, of course." Remember? We're all on the spot. ”
Acting is indeed a wonderful art, and it has some basic methods to be trained, but more often than not, it requires a talent, an understanding, and an aura. Only when you really see and experience it with your own eyes can you feel the tension and courage of the performance, and that powerful aura is enough to shock the soul.
Charlize and Russell also seemed very excited, and began to talk with Heath.
"Guys," Curtis walked over, a helpless look on his face, causing the three to stop talking, "I know you're excited, and trust me, I'm even more excited than you are." However, this is not Broadway, and we need to use a camera to record the moment. ”
At this time, Hiss also realized his amateurish performance just now, and apologized to Curtis again and again. Curtis could only smile and turn away, but the three of them stood in place, exchanged glances with each other, and they all burst into laughter.
Curtis walked up to Hugo and Kevin, and said apologetically, "Maybe the whole scene needs to be done all over again...... mainly because the performance of the two people just now is perfect, and the whole atmosphere is perfect, so he still hopes to start from scratch, but this is very demanding for the two actors, almost asking them to copy their own performance.
However, without waiting for Curtis to explain, Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, no problem." Then he looked at Kevin across from him, and he said nonchalantly, "If you need to." "For actors, filming the same scene over and over again is a basic equipment, and adjusting the state is one of their compulsory courses.
It was so neat and neat, but Curtis was a little stunned, but he still showed a smile, "I'm really sorry for the accident just now, but other than that, everything is perfect, really outstanding." After another expression, Curtis turned and walked back behind the monitor.
Hugo retracted his smile, pursed his lips slightly, and looked at Kevin intently, "Looks like I need to ask you for another favor." That calm style of speech is obviously Ed's feeling.
Kevin raised his eyebrows, plucked his ears, pouted his lips, and left a sentence, "Look at my mood." Then he turned around and took off his suit again and sat back down at the back of his desk.
After re-entering the filming, there were some minor tweaks to the performances of the two actors, with Ed standing across from Jack's desk, leaning on the edge of another desk, supporting his body with his hands, as if to hide the slight trembling of his legs - but in fact, Ed's legs were not visible in the camera at all; Jack took out a stack of chips from the drawer and flipped it in the palm of his hand, the leisurely and surplus of the whole control situation was more obvious, but in the second half, he began to unconsciously fiddle with the chips, but it also revealed the ups and downs of his heart.
Most of the time, these subtle adjustments don't make it into the shot, so they don't have any impact on the viewer. But when I actually stood next to the set and watched it, I had a different idea, because the performance is a whole, and every part of the body is a part of the performance. The details that can't be captured by the camera can make the whole character complete, which also makes the parts that are really recorded by the camera more realistic and more moving.
Whether it is Charlize, Russell, or Heath, they all benefited a lot after watching this scene. Until the filming of this scene was completed, and the filming of the next two series scenes was completed, they still did not fully recover. The three of them were still intently savoring what they had just felt.
"Russell, Russell Crowe! Hell God, it's your role to be the end, what are you doing hiding in the stairwell! The staff turned over and searched for Russell, only to find Russell alone in the narrow space under the stairs, like Quasimodo, which startled the person.
Russell stepped out of the small space and shook his head, "I'm looking for a tall feeling. This is the method that Russell came up with inspired by Hugo.
In fact, Russell is not tall, he is even about an inch shorter than Hugo, but the character of Bard is the strongest and largest man in the entire police station in the original book, so Russell tried to find that feeling of being on the back of a tiger, hoping to create this sense of rampage from the body language such as pace and movement.
Before the crew started filming, Russell tried to live in a cramped apartment to find this feeling, but in the performance process, he always felt a little lacking in the heat, and after watching Hugo and Kevin's showdown today, Russell had a flash of inspiration and found such a clumsy but effective way.
"Sorry, I forgot the time." Russell walked up quickly, but the picture of the scene just now was still in his mind, even though more than three hours had passed, it was still vivid.
In fact, not just for more than three hours, in the next few days, Russell has been carefully observing the performances of Hugo and Kevin, and almost every performance can give Russell different inspiration and give him a new understanding of performance. Russell felt that a whole new world had opened in front of him, his acting style had improved, and he couldn't wait to show off his skills.
However, when he really stood in front of Hugo to perform the rival scene, Russell felt constrained, as if the big man who was full of strength was wrapped in wool and his hands and feet, not only could not let go of his hands and feet, but was even so clumsy that people couldn't bear to look at it directly. That huge sense of disparity almost overwhelmed Russell, and even standing in front of the camera was a little overwhelming. After six consecutive NG of this rivalry, Russell still did not improve, which made him feel a deep sense of frustration.
"Curtis, give us five minutes, okay?" After NG again, Hugo raised his voice and said that Curtis naturally had no opinion, and motioned for the entire crew to rest for five minutes.
"I'm sorry, Hugo, I'm really sorry." Russell rubbed his cheeks in annoyance, barely daring to look into Hugo's eyes. In the past few days, he feels like a sponge, constantly absorbing new knowledge, and he also feels free in the process of acting, and his confidence is building up little by little, and he even feels that "L.A. Confidential" may be the most important turning point in his career as an actor. But now...... Standing in front of Hugo, he was so vulnerable.
Hugo chuckled, "If you're really sorry, you should be looking at me now, not behind your own hands." Hugo's words were relaxed with a little humor, but he did not shy away from accusing Russell, which made Russell quickly raise his head and look at Hugo in front of him depressedly, "Russell, you are a very good actor, first of all, you must believe this." ”
Russell shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, but there was a negative attitude in his eyes.
Hugo pondered for a while and thought for a while, "I heard Charlize and Heath say that you have been discussing acting recently?" This is a good thing, I always feel that acting is a very complicated thing, it is the struggle of the actor alone, and it is also the cooperation between the actor and the actor, but in the end, it still needs to come back to the actor as an individual. Hugo's words made Russell relax a little, but his shoulders were still tense, "I'm still very keen to communicate with other actors, and it's been a very pleasant process." ”
Hugo has been thinking back to Russell's performance in the past few days, including the restraint of the scene just now, and he can feel that Russell is actually trying to learn his and Kevin's acting methods, using the method of detailed sculpture to make the characters three-dimensional. In fact, this is true, because when the performance level reaches a certain level, it is impossible to keep it open and close, and it still needs to be polished all the time. But the problem is that each actor has his own style, even if it is the same detailed depiction, there is a big gap between Hugo and Kevin's performance methods and performance content.
Russell only understood the surface, did not understand it deeply, and simply wanted to pick out the details, which made Russell's own style blurred. In fact, Russell's acting skills were at their peak, and there was no lack of delicate and soft performance style in the bold and chic, but the point is that Russell's overall style was relatively outward. So, if Russell wants to be like Hugo or Kevin, then he's going in the wrong direction.
"However, communication is not the same as learning, because acting cannot be replicated, and I think you should know that."
