Chapter 1341: A Humorous Opening
"There's been a peculiar phenomenon lately, everybody is talking about a serial killer, sorry, forgive me for the wrong wording, I mean, everybody is talking about a perverted serial killer, let's give a round of applause, Hugo Lancaster." Jay Reno's opening line continues his usual style, concise and clear, but at the same time with a little humor.
The audience immediately began to cheer and scream, the continuous fermentation of the shouts made the roof of the studio undergo a severe test, even the photographer could feel the camera in his hand trembling slightly, the sound of the mountain and tsunami made all the sounds of the scene disappear, only the roars, applause and whistles of the audience.
Under the watchful eye, Hugo appeared at the entrance, and a spotlight fell directly on him. Hugo stood unhurriedly, his back slightly arched, his chin slightly retracted, and he slowly looked at the scene with the afterglow above his sight, and he spread his hands to show his innocence. is such a simple action, but all the audience immediately understood that this is the image of the anonymous man in "The Seven Deadly Sins" - Hugo is echoing Jie's opening introduction.
Even though Hugo is dressed today in a formal iron-gray suit, and the buttons of his shirt are not buttoned, they do not look scruffy at all, but rather a touch of casualness, and look far from the image of an anonymous man - the most important thing is that Hugo's hair has grown completely; But it was such a simple action, but the audience immediately understood it, and the screams that reached the limit on the scene actually rose a step again.
Immediately, Hugo calmly put his hands in his pockets, and then walked on the stage step by step with cautious steps, facing the oncoming Jie, Hugo suddenly straightened his waist, carefully looked at Jie, who was standing in place with his right hand and making a hugging posture, slowly stretched out his right hand, just lightly touched Jie's right hand, and then walked away, directly hanging Jie in place, with a stunned face.
Just one opening, all the audience at the scene erupted in laughter, amused by these two friends.
Hugo calmly sat down on the sofa, unbuttoned the middle of his suit, and then crossed his legs as if this were his own living room, just a cup of coffee and a newspaper. Instead, Jay was still standing next to his table, looking at Hugo with a helpless and depressed expression, and this simple action made the audience laugh even more happily.
After the laughter had subsided a little, Hugo pursed his lips and raised his left hand to signal, "Please sit down, don't be too restrained." Hugo's anti-guest protagonist made Jie stand in place, raising his eyebrows and looking at Hugo, "Are you serious?" ”
Hugo shrugged innocently, "If you're careful if I'm armed or not, I think you can rest assured that the NBC's security system is still very conscientious, and they confiscated my Browning." Hugo is still responding to Jay's opening remarks, obviously the phrase "perverted serial killer" is referential, the serial killer refers to the anonymous, and the pervert is an allusion to the "neurosis" of the previous "National Inquirer".
Hugo's wit made the audience applaud and laugh again, and Jay slowly walked to his place and sat down face to face with Hugo across a table, but he leaned back slightly, "Then what if you suddenly use violence on me?" ”
"You mean that?" Hugo waved his fist, "Don't worry, you have the upper hand with heavy weapons, I don't dare to act rashly." Hugo raised his chin slightly, which was a reference to Daijie's big chin, and this simple action immediately made everyone in the audience burst into laughter.
"It looks like at least you've got Randle. McMurphy). Jie's light riback once again won the initiative, and the scene also resounded with applause.
Randall McMurphy, the male lead in "One Flew Over the Asylum," is portrayed by Jack Nicholson. McMurphy was sent to a psychiatric hospital because he was disgusted with forced labor in prison and pretended to be insane, but McMurphy later discovered that the psychiatric hospital did not lose the freedom he had imagined, and that it was more like a mental prison - even a mental hell - under the surveillance and brutal rule of the domineering head nurse. McMurphy tries to lead his friends out of the asylum, but unfortunately fails, and he is lobotomy, becoming a real living dead.
Jay's use of McMurphy as a metaphor for Hugo here obviously has a deep meaning, which was also appreciated by the audience.
"So, I heard you've been on vacation lately?" Jay opened with a light-hearted topic.
Hugo nodded, "Yes, I'm enjoying a rare leisure time, so when I return to the studio again, I feel that everything is new and unfamiliar." Hugo turned his head to look at the empty studio, "Especially when I came in just now, I thought I had gone to the wrong studio." This made everyone stunned, obviously not understanding what Hugo meant, "I regret not seeing that familiar raspberry." ”
"Haha......" Even Jie laughed out loud, not to mention the audience, "Don't worry, next time we will restore this tradition, I hope that raspberry statue will not accumulate too much dust in the warehouse." "This is fighting back again, lamenting that Hugo has played too few times." Tell us about your role in the movie this time, what is it like to play a murderer again? ”
At this time, the release of "Seven Deadly Sins" has entered the intermediate stage, Hugo plays Anonymous, and this secret has also been widely circulated, so it can be spread out and discussed directly.
Hugo immediately raised his hands, "I don't have blood on them. "The first time I felt special, I spent a lot of time trying to figure out Amon Goss's psychological situation; The second time it would have felt easier, but it was actually a very difficult process because you didn't want this character to overlap with the last time, and both characters had some ****** personalities, and I was trying not to be so extreme. ”
"That's why you left the dagger in the dressing room?" Jay suddenly interjected.
Hugo was stunned for a moment, raised his hand again to show his surrender, and replied solemnly, "I always need to learn to trust." ”
The questions and answers of these two living treasures were completely serious, which made the audience laugh directly.
"So the two characters are still different?" Jay immediately answered.
I don't want Hugo to hesitate for a moment, "I don't know, my personal feeling is not accurate, is it?" It's really up to the audience to judge, do you think these two murderers are different? ”
"Oh Jesus Christ, believe me, they're all just as terrible." Jie's unconventional answer made the scene burst into laughter, and the audience shouted one after another, "Different! Completely different! ”
Hugo spread his hands and said with a smile, "Then I think these two characters are indeed different. The confidence and calmness in that smile are not ostentatious, but they are unconvincing.
"I was going to call on the audience to go to the cinema to watch the 'Seven Deadly Sins,' but apparently I've missed the perfect time......" was complaining about Hugo's refusal to appear on all TV shows during the "Seven Deadly Sins" promotional period, which made the scene whistle again, and Jay raised his hands, "It's not my fault anyway." Even Hugo clapped his hands and laughed.
After everyone's laughter calmed down a bit, Jay continued, "But I heard that you played another murderer in 'Death Row Walk'?" Is this true? ”
Hugo himself actually paused, he really didn't think about this question, but the words in his mouth still said hesitantly, "Yes......"
Jay didn't wait for Hugo to continue, and threw the pen in his hand directly on the table, "What the hell is going on with you?" That impatient expression made the audience roll back and forth with laughter.
Hugo did think about the difference between Anonymous and Amon Goss when he picked the script for "The Seven Deadly Sins" before, but he didn't take this into account when he picked up "Walk on Death Row". In fact, the main reason is that Matthew Ponsley is completely different from the previous two characters, Matthew is not a ****** personality, and the focus of the movie is also different from "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Schindler's List", so Hugo actually forgot about this.
Hugo himself laughed.
"Are you going to be like Robert De Niro and turn down one other role besides the murderer?" Jay is satirizing Robert's massive role in the underworld, which is visually tiring and kills two birds with one stone, "Hugo, you are so disappointing, I thought you were not a type actor." ”
Looking at Jay's innocent expression of being let down and deceived, Hugo rolled back with a smile, and finally stopped, Hugo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes - laughed, "It seems that my next job is to break this bottleneck." Hugo did not refute, but instead made a gesture of "I admit it", and sure enough, he was well versed in the humorous style of talk shows.
Jay was also very satisfied with Hugo's reaction, glanced at Hugo, and then said, "As far as we know, not long ago, you faced a bottleneck, and you successfully broke it...... Am I right to say that? ”
Hugo knew that the point of today was coming, Jie's starting and ending was very natural, not abrupt at all, and the question was also a little cautious, Hugo exhaled a breath, and let his feelings calm down a little, "It's right to say this, and it's not right." ”
"Very well, Aristotle, can you tell us more about the situation?" Jay's relaxed tone made the audience chuckle, but the laughter quickly died down, and everyone nervously cast their eyes at Hugo. Not only the audience, but also the staff were watching Hugo, and at this time there were more than a hundred staff members gathered in the studio, and all the staff members of NBC TV station who were now idle came, which also made the scale of the staff almost comparable to that of the audience.
Such a grand occasion can only happen to Hugo.
