1867. Chapter 1867 1867 A Brief Talk of Comedy

"You...... You are...... Hugo? Some of the audience members finally turned their eyes and immediately recognized the superstar in front of them, even the dim lights of the bar did not affect their eyesight, and they recognized the face almost without difficulty.

Hugo smiled a little reservedly, "I hope my real person didn't disappoint you." Although Hugo has no fear of crowds, every time he is in the crowd, it always causes a commotion, which makes Hugo inevitably a little nervous.

"Wow, to be honest, I just watched the video of 'Yihai Heroes' last week, and my performance was really wonderful." The chubby middle-aged man next to him had an excited look between his eyebrows, but he didn't make any radical moves, and he clearly expressed his inner emotions, "Very few actors can not fall behind in front of Jack, but in fact, you did it, man, you really did it, and in that scene in the courtroom, you even forced Jack to embarrass him." God, that scene kept my friends and I talking about it for a week, and it was amazing. ”

Hugo was a little shy by the man's face-to-face compliment, and smiled awkwardly, and the man quickly realized his gaffe and quickly apologized, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm too excited." I'm sure a lot of people have complimented you, I'm just ...... Too excited. ”

"No, it's not." Hugo waved his hand again and again, "I just hope I don't get too complacent, my tail is already cocked, so I try my best to restrain the joy in my heart." Hugo's words made everyone laugh.

The middle-aged man was relieved, and then exchanged several scenes in "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea" with Hugo, and carefully analyzed the context of the whole story and Hugo's portrayal of the characters. Of course, Hugo's acting skills were still not great during the filming of "Yihai Xiongfeng", so there were indeed many shortcomings, so the whole discussion was extremely intense. As a result, several viewers around the audience gathered around and expressed their opinions, from "Yihai Xiongfeng" to "Death Row Prisoner Walk", from "vulgar" to "Schindler's List", and even discussed the "Dead Poets Society", the whole scene was so lively.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen!" Helen clapped her hands, "I'm the heroine today, okay?" You should discuss it with me. Immediately the audience apologized to Helen, Helen turned to look at Hugo, originally Hugo thought that Helen would discuss the play just now, but he didn't want Helen to ask, "So, Mr. Lancaster, you can tell me why your depiction of love in 'Before Sunrise' is so delicate?" So much so that my girlfriends and I are still immersed in that story. ”

Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, raised his voice with puzzled eyes, and said in a rhetorical tone, "Because I'm a good man?" This humor made everyone clap their hands and laugh.

After all the audience dispersed, it was already three quarters of an hour later, Hugo looked at Helen who was still wearing a costume in front of him, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I haven't invited you to sit down until now, it's really rude." ”

"No, of course not." Helen waved her hand again and again, "In fact, every performance, my favorite is this time, we start talking about drama, and then we talk about any topic related to acting and theater, and everyone expresses their own opinions, which makes people feel that life is so fulfilling." At this point, Helen paused, "I'm not sure if you believe it, but for me, acting comes from life. ”

"Of course." Hugo nodded affirmatively, "In my opinion, in fact, everyone is qualified to talk about acting, not everyone is professional, but every point of view is fresh." Of course, it's hard to find a right direction with this approach because there aren't too many professional audiences. ”

Helen raised her eyebrows, a smile curled into her mouth, and her chin nodded slightly, "I must agree with you." In fact, if you go to New York, the real regular Broadway audience is less than 30,000, which is enough of a few; But in Los Angeles, that number may be even less, which is a dire situation for theater. ”

"Everybody is trying to make a movie, because it makes money, but they ignore that cinema originated from theater in the first place, and if you want to make a really good film -- I mean, whether it's a commercial film or an art film, you have to study theater in depth, and that's a very important process of precipitation." Hugo's words made Helen show a surprised expression, barely hiding the suspicion in his eyes, Hugo laughed heartily, "Let's put it this way, I have a very respectful elder, I don't want to admit to being my teacher, but...... He did teach me the importance of theatre. Reading a stage play script is actually a very interesting thing. "Hugo was talking about Ernst.

"It's really rare." Helen lamented, "You know, people are so impetuous these days, there's always no way to settle down. A lot of the time, I envy the strict class system of British actors......" Helen raised an eyebrow and looked at Hugo, "You know that system, right?" ”

"Do you mean the process of 'Academy-East End-Weird Characters-Mainstream Cinema'?" Hugo's answer made Helen nod her head again and again, "Yes, I'm not saying that this is necessarily correct, such a system has also been derailed from the times." However, the importance that British actors attach to stage drama skills is worthy of recognition. ”

"Americans prefer Konstantin Stanislavsky to Benua Goglan." The former is an advocate of methodism, and the latter is a representative actor of expressionism. Hugo also studied this aspect very thoroughly, so as soon as the words came out, Helen was stunned, and then nodded, "Yes......" and then nodded several times in succession, "Yes, that's it!" ”

"You know, about three days ago, an amateur actor and I had a serious question, and he asked me how to do good comedy!" Helen took the initiative to start a topic, and even raised her hand excitedly and gestured to show her enthusiasm. Hugo opened his mouth, and was going to say, "I'm curious about this too", but after thinking about it, he choked up and let Helen continue, "After I heard this question, I thought it was a very ridiculous question, which was really unprofessional, and then I quarreled with him directly, because I thought that acting should not be limited to subject matter and form, and the most important thing is to integrate into the character." But later, he convinced me, and he emphasized: if you use methodological acting, then indeed, you only need to integrate into the character, whether it is comedy or horror, in fact, the effect of the performance is the same, because we all know that it is the plot, the story, not the actors, who are responsible for making the audience laugh or make the audience frightened. Of course - Jim Carrey is an exception, and 'The Shining' is an exception. ”

Helen's words made Hugo chuckle, "But for most method actors, they don't need to distinguish the subject matter, they just need to integrate into the role, and they can achieve the purpose of acting." However, there is a problem here, because method actors are integrated into the role, so they don't have their own style, they can't give different effects to different themes, comedy is still comedy, but actors seem to be free, and can only rely on the wisdom of the script to give comedy humor. This is a disaster for comedy, which is why there haven't been many comedians worth mentioning in recent years other than Jim Carrey, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams. ”

"Really good comedians should know how to show their acting skills, because they need to give their lines charm at the right time - this is acting, but also a kind of actor's personality, such as Carey's exaggeration, such as Christo's sharpness, such as Williams's playfulness, this little bit of quality gives comedy a completely different style, and also makes comedy exciting."

Helen's words opened a door in front of Hugo's eyes, and the part of his confusion about "Truman's world" was pushed open in an instant. In fact, Hugo's comprehension of acting skills has now reached a new level, all he needs is a little inspiration, and now, the whole script of "Truman's World" is slowly opening in Hugo's mind again, but the same lead words have become completely different.

"So, then I found out that how to do a good comedy is a difficult problem. Not everyone can be funny, and not everyone can be humorous. Helen gushed and spoke, but she didn't realize that she was talking so much, and as she spoke, she found that one of her spits splashed on the collar of Hugo's coat, which immediately embarrassed her, and when she looked up, she saw Hugo's contemplative expression, which made Helen stop talking, and then her face was crimson, and she bit her lower lip gently, "Sorry, oh God, I was so rude, I couldn't believe what I just did." ”

Helen raised her head and glanced at Hugo, then quickly lowered her head, "Oh my God, I should be crazy, I'm absolutely crazy." Not to mention that Hugo is currently the top actor in the United States, and Helen and Hugo have only met for less than an hour, and she actually made a big fuss in front of Hugo - who is she? It's just a small TV actress who performs in an underground theater, but it's a shame that she actually started teaching Hugo.

Looking at Helen who was annoyed in front of him, Hugo showed a big smile, "Oh, believe me, 'I'm crazy for Qing' is a very good TV series." "I'm crazy about Qing" starring Helen is a comedy through and through, a very good comedy. "Actually, I wanted to ask that question just now......" Helen looked up at Hugo suspiciously, and Hugo chuckled, "Forgive me for being unprofessional, I just wanted to ask: how to act in a good comedy." ”

Helen was stunned, then frowned, and covered her cheek with a sad expression, "Oh, Jesus Christ, who will save me." ”
