1926. Chapter 1926 1926 Entering the state
Truman finally found a person to talk to at this time, babbling about everything that happened just now, his rich expression made Ma Long clearly feel the palpitations after the chaos just now, which made Ma Long feel crying and laughing. But Truman said in a meaningful voice, "This has something to do with my father!" β
This made Malone feel more and more outrageous - because Truman's father was killed when he was a child, he laughed with an extremely ridiculous expression, and the work in his hand gradually became smoother, and it seemed that he was not disturbed by Truman at all. "I think he's probably still alive!" Truman whispered mysteriously, but his expression couldn't have been more serious.
Ma Long also felt Truman's seriousness, it didn't seem like a joke at all, he looked back at Truman, but Truman had a face, "You understand my state again, right?" I also felt the shock", "Yay! Then he deliberately kept nodding his chin to clearly show that meaningful state. I'll tell you more about it later. β
Truman said in a low voice, and then approached Malone, but his cheek turned to the convenience supermarket, carefully looking at everyone in the supermarket at this time, "I feel like I'm being followed." Immediately Truman's eyes met that of a lady who was picking fruit, and he quickly showed a bright smileβan excessively bright smile to hide his panic and whitewash the peace.
"Who?" Ma Long was completely confused, looking at the place where he worked in confusion, and then looked at Truman incredulously, staring at Truman with an expression of "Is his friend brains squeezed by the door".
Truman didn't have time to deal with Malone's surprise, just kept laughing with that overly bright smile, and then said almost in ventriloquism, "It's hard to say, they look like ordinary people." β
Ma Long also followed Truman's gaze and looked at the people in the convenience supermarket one by one, he chuckled helplessly, and then raised his chin to look at the two gray-haired old men who were at the cash register, "What about these two?" The irony couldn't be more obvious.
But Truman still maintained that exaggerated bright smile, and said vaguely, "I don't know, it's possible." Then Truman turned his head and turned his back to everyone again, "As soon as I make a sudden move, they ...... They ......" Truman tried to explain, but found that he couldn't find the exact words, so he simply put his briefcase down, then raised his hands and clapped twice, then picked up his briefcase again, quickly turned around, and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen?" β
Malone looked carefully at the surrounding scene, "No. β
"Hmm." Truman nodded as a matter of course, "We have to get out of here!" Malone shook his head and refused, but Truman did not relent, "Let's go, let's go!" β
Marlon started his work again, "If it doesn't work, it won't work." Truman stared at Malone as if a child was angry, and let out a low pit bulldog-like roar, "Humph! Gritting his teeth tightly, he stared at Malone with round eyes, as if he would not stop until he reached his goal, and his childlike expression made Malone look very helpless.
Malone looked back at the chocolate in his hand, then smiled dotingly, shaking his head as he said, "You're going to get both of us expelled." You know. β
But Truman didn't care, but laughed, patted Malone on the shoulder, and laughed dryly, "Haha, man, let's do this!" Then he quickly walked to the door of the convenience supermarket, and at the same time did not forget to hide his abnormality, and said in an extremely high-pitched voice, and the words also changed slightly, "You can do what you want?" Yes, Siree, you only have one birthday a year. Truman watched Malone walk out, and he laughed dryly twice at the convenience supermarket, and then quickly left the convenience supermarket.
"Cards!" When Peter's voice fell, everyone in the audience began to laugh, and even two people couldn't help but laugh directly, not only because Hugo's performance just now was too funny, but also because of those small movements that squeezed their eyebrows and made their eyes really full of joy, especially the expressions of Truman and Malone when they tried to find out who was watching him in the convenience supermarket, which was simply amazing.
Alex also let out a long breath, he finally found the feeling of acting, and finally understood what it meant to be a rival play.
Although Alex has starred in many works before, including "Happy Family", "Brave Death Island" and so on, this is the first time Alex really feels the sense of smoothness that comes naturally, as if the whole scene is under Hugo's control, he only needs to be fully involved in the role, and he will naturally be dragged forward, everything happens as a matter of course, and he doesn't even need to think or memorize lines.
Alex finally felt what is called the aura of acting, if the actor is not very familiar with the role he plays, or does not understand the script thoroughly enough, or does not read the script comprehensively and profoundly, then it will become extremely difficult to perform in front of Hugo, as if he can't get rid of the shackles between gestures, like a monkey imprisoned in a cage; But if the actor has enough knowledge of the whole scene, and has enough reading and understanding of his own role, then Hugo's performance will connect the whole scene together, and even make his own performance better, and those inadvertent details are not even aware of himself, but quietly complete the performance.
For example, the "Seven Deadly Sins" was like this, with the ill-prepared Brad Pitt standing on the stake, while the well-prepared Morgan Freeman took his calm and atmospheric style to the extreme.
Previously, Alex and Nicole's preparation was not sufficient, or they were completely dragged away by Hugo's performance, like wild horses on the loose, directly losing their direction; Either their whole performance stumbles, and they always feel that their performance is not in place, and there is a distance from the requirements of the script.
It's no wonder that actors like to play against "old actors", not only because they can cooperate with actors they admire, but also because such cooperation can make actors truly realize their own shortcomings. So, such opportunities are rare.
Alex finally relaxed at this time, he also realized what Hugo meant, in fact, this scene is not difficult at all, he just needs to show the feeling that "Malone didn't realize Truman's inner struggle", the really difficult scene is the scene where Truman shows all the fragility and panic in his heart without reservation in front of Malone, which is a difficult task for Hugo and for him.
"Hugo, can we do it again?" Alex finally found some confidence, and his whole body became excited, "I think I can still not be smooth enough in a few places just now, and I can find my feelings again." β
Hugo didn't hesitate and nodded as a matter of course. Alex thought about it, but stopped Hugo, who was about to walk back to the convenience store, "Can I give a little advice?" Alex is still a little uneasy, he doesn't think he is qualified to teach Hugo how to act, because now there are less than one hand of people with such qualifications in Hollywood, but Alex still has some ideas in his heart, as a friend of Hugo, he understands Hugo's personality, so he decided to say it directly.
Hugo looked at Alex in some surprise, then nodded, Alex thought for a moment, "I know you're trying to find more breakthroughs in comedy. But many times, I can feel that you are deliberately controlling, I don't mean the kind of occasions that need to be controlled, ""Truman's World" is not a simple comedy, it must not be filmed like the comedies of "Strange Heroes in Disguise" and "Dumb and Agua", the performance style still needs to be restrained and sculpted, "I mean, when you feel right, let go of your hands and feet to perform, you have to trust your keen intuition." β
Alex thinks Hugo has a talent for comedy, but Hugo seems to be worried about something, so many details are a little restrained, "For example, in this scene just now, the chatter feeling, you can cut the sentences more trivially, and then the expressions and gestures can be matched." As long as it doesn't go too far, it's actually in line with the style of the whole scene. Alex's words made Hugo fall into deep thought, which made Alex a little uneasy, "It's just my own opinion, you can ......"
"No, no," Hugo waved his hand and smiled at Alex, "you're right, maybe it's my personal deliberate control, but the comedy loses its original effect." Hugo thought about it and realized that what Alex said did make sense, "Don't be so nervous, when it comes to comedy, you're the expert, and I still have a lot to learn, we can exchange experiences with each other." β
There is no end to learning, and you will learn from all the time. The same goes for acting.
"Don't be so modest with both of you, I think this scene is very good just now." Peter didn't know when he walked over, "But I think I need to do it all over again, Alex, your expression still looks a little stiff and not in place, you should let yourself relax a little more; Hugo, you can play it as you see fit, but I personally think you can be a little more dramatic, and the irony will be stronger - especially with Alex's expression. β
Hearing Peter's words, Hugo and Alex couldn't help but look at each other, and then they laughed, laughing a little inexplicably, "Then I'll assume that you all understand." After saying that, the two of them laughed even more happily, and Peter walked back behind the monitor in a daze, and shouted, "This scene is going to be done again, everyone is back in place." β
