After a brief greeting, Hugo immediately joined the "Friends" friends and began the rehearsal of today's script. Although Hugo's cameo appearance in "Friends" has always been kept secret, in fact, after the script came out, Hugo had already read it as soon as it came out - not as David feared, the script was approved by Hugo, and then the decision was made, but the actors of "Friends" saw the script after Hugo.

The beginning of the rehearsal seemed a bit chaotic, mainly because Courtney and Jennifer couldn't immediately get into the script, and even if they said a transitional line, they would laugh. Obviously, the arrival of Hugo still caused a slight change in the atmosphere of the scene, and each actor inevitably had some fluctuations.

Originally, it was only an hour's rehearsal, but it was delayed for nearly forty-five minutes, and then the rehearsal came to an end.

After the rehearsal, Hugo left the lounge and headed outside. Standing at the door of the lounge, you can see a huge wooden partition in front of you, and a few steps forward, you can see that this is a wooden compartment with a ring on three sides, which is Monica's room in "Friends", at the end of the room is a wooden door, and you can see Monica's apartment through it, which will appear in the scene of this series almost every day, but after being immersed, you find that it is so simple, and there is not even a ceiling.

Turn around, continue to walk a few steps along the corridor, you can see another scene, it looks dark and narrow, walk in and take a look, but two steps into the space you can see a wooden door, look inside, it is actually a different cave, Central Park Cafe (tral. perk) The unfamiliar scene unfolded right in front of my eyes.

But before Hugo had time to sigh at the simplicity and magic of the scene, he could see the audience sitting one after another, which startled Hugo. Because the most famous sofa in the Central Park Cafe is directly opposite a large open space, and the stepped seats are placed on the left and right sides of the open space, and the empty space is even more than double the space of the café itself, and the whole field of vision can be seen at a glance, and countless chandeliers, booms, cameras and other equipment can be clearly seen in the line of sight.

Hugo quickly stopped and took his gaze back. Although he had experienced studio shooting in the past when filming "Yihai Xiongfeng", today's large-scale indoor sitcom like "Friends" has opened Hugo's eyes, almost encompassing the whole world in a studio, just a few seemingly simple partitions, including the ten years of life of "Friends".

Shooting in the studio is obviously completely different from outdoor shooting, the whole scenery, space, and orientation feel different, but the audience who shoots and watches on the spot is even more incredible to Hugo. Although there are onlookers in the filming of the movie, it is just onlookers, and the audience at the scene today clearly came to watch the shooting, which is not like the shooting of movies or television, but more like the performance of a stage play.

In other words, every move of the actors will be presented in the audience's sight, and any mistakes will be magnified, although this is still different from the stage play after all, which has room for error, but the audience's attention is a silent pressure for the actors. What's more, it's still a comedy!

Hugo knew that the on-site staff would definitely lead the audience, instructing them to laugh out loud where they should laugh and avoid being cold. But the actor's feeling on the scene is very real, because whether the audience's laughter is real or fake, there is no way to hide it. The pressure is completely exponential for comedy.

Faced with such a situation, Hugo felt fresh and nervous!

Hugo certainly knew that sitcoms had canned laughter, but he always thought it was a recorded laugh, not a live one. So when he saw so many viewers outside the studio today, Hugo didn't think much about it, and thought it was just a fan who came to visit the class, after all, "Friends" is now also a popular TV series.

But now the situation has completely changed, no wonder the screenwriter and director were watching during the rehearsal of the lines just now, and the specifications were more rigorous than the usual script exercises.

Although he had just finished his acting breakthrough in "Death Row Walk" not long ago, Hugo still inevitably felt excited at this time. He knew that he was not a great comedian, but it was precisely because of this that today's challenges were more difficult and difficult, which also made Hugo have a different vision of the world of acting.

Looking at the noisy audience, Hugo suddenly understood the stubbornness and persistence of the British academic duì stage play.

Thinking of this, Hugo is not only excited about today's cameo in "Friends", but also has more expectations and self-requirements. He didn't want to ruin the good impression of "Friends" in the minds of the audience because of his bad performance!

Hugo retracted his steps and turned away from the café scene. Since the quality of the episodes needs to be checked by the live audience today, let's make all the Yiqiē more real, and Hugo is also looking forward to what kind of reaction his performance can provoke from the audience, which is more exciting than attending the premiere of the movie.

At this moment, the audience was entering the studio one after another according to the established procedure, although it was a quarter of an hour later than expected, but this little waiting time did not wear down their patience at all, but made them more excited, and almost everyone who came to the scene could not suppress their inner excitement.

In fact, before coming to Burbank, all the spectators didn't know anything about the situation, just regarded it as a normal shooting, and they didn't have much idea about the fact that the number of spectators had doubled today, and many of them didn't even notice the abnormality.

Until the advent of Hugo.

Outside the studio, it was boiling in an instant, and the scene was out of control for a while, and everyone never dreamed that Hugo could be seen on the scene in today's shooting, which is simply an annual Christmas gift. Even when Hugo entered the studio, the boiling outside the venue could not subside for a long time, and almost every audience member was excited, and they couldn't wait for the next shooting.

The waiting time was almost spent slowly in anxiety, anticipation, excitement, and excitement, and after everyone was seated in their seats, looking at the set of the Central Park café in front of them, the surging love suddenly invaded, making the scene quickly permeated with a high temperature, the scorching temperature made the air begin to become thin, the sound of heartbeat made the scene start to become noisy, and the approach of time made the love xù begin to become tense!

There was a subtle atmosphere throughout the studio at this time, as if waiting for a flashpoint, ready for a big explosion.

Soon after Hugo returned to the waiting room, the filming of "Friends" officially began, and the other five people except David took the lead, and when they appeared, the audience immediately burst into cheers and screams, and the atmosphere seemed to be very enthusiastic.

For the actors of "Friends", although they all seemed a little overexcited today, they were still handy after putting into work, and it can be seen that they are very familiar with the whole mode of operation. There were only two wrong pauses, and the filming of the previous scenes was quickly completed.

The writers of this episode obviously put a lot of effort into it, and in less than five minutes of the plot, it caused at least six laughs from the audience, and even Hugo, who was standing on the side stage and waiting, burst into laughter just by hearing the lines. And this situation also brought more pressure, and with the arrival of Hugo's appearance time, Hugo felt the tension that he had not felt for a long time. You must know that since "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo has not been so nervous and nervous before acting.

Hugo closed his eyes and let himself think about the character.

Hugo is making a cameo today as a virtual character called Steve Rogers. rogers), Hugo didn't feel anything when he heard the name, Matthew was so happy during the rehearsal just now, and after explaining, Hugo knew that this was actually the real name of the classic character Captain America in Marvel Comics, which made Hugo feel that there were three black lines on his forehead, and the screenwriter was really childlike today.

Steve is an Irishman, and he lives with his sister Elizabeth, so he is very strict with his sister. Elizabeth and Rose are dating, and Steve, who came to New York on a business trip, plans to meet Elizabeth's boyfriend, but because Elizabeth is only eighteen years old, Rose is already thirty years old, even a year older than Steve, which makes Steve very dissatisfied.

On the one hand, Rose had to do everything he could in order to curry favor with Steve; But on the other hand, Steve's charisma makes Rachel and Monica fall in love, and even Chandler and Joey admire Steve, which puts Rose in an embarrassing situation of isolation.

Later, Steve and Rachel got along, but after dating, everyone found out that Steve was not as charming as he looked on the outside, and he was actually very unconfident deep down. After opening up to Rachel, he revealed that he had been nicknamed "Coward" as a child, and he cried so much that he even threw himself into Chandler's arms for help.

It can be said that the screenwriter has considered many aspects, compiled a very believable background and character for Hugo's cameo character, and also put a lot of effort into humor, so that Hugo can show the difference between Steve before and after, not only giving Hugo room to show his acting skills, but also giving a lot of room to show Hugo's comedic talent - of course, provided that Hugo can let go, leave his baggage, and truly integrate into the comedy.

Otherwise, such a difficult role will only be a disaster.

Hugo tried not to allow himself to analyze many details of Steve's character, but to let himself relax, completely relax, and let the whole love slowly substitute into the style of "Friends", and then he heard Kevin, who was standing next to him, say, "Hugo, it's your turn." ”
