1917.Chapter 1917 1917

Just like the filming of "L.A. Confidential", many times, small differences in detail can make a character different in a subtle way.

Hugo's version of Truman is more gentlemanly, more elegant, more contradictory than Kim, and has a childlike soul under the positive and optimistic exterior.

Because it has been smooth sailing since he was a child, Truman has hardly encountered too many waves, and the communication between his parents, friends and him is always separated by a thin layer of separation - because those people are actors, it is impossible to really have a heart-to-heart relationship with Truman, but Truman doesn't know the reason, he thinks this is the original way the world works, so he began to learn to protect himself, use an optimistic attitude to cover up his inner loneliness and loneliness, and use a bright smile to cover up his inner bitterness and confusion.

On the one hand, Truman is already an adult, because he has learned to deal with the world alone and rely on himself for everything; But on the one hand, Truman is still a child, because he has not experienced real storms and waves, and has always looked at the world with unpolluted and innocent eyes.

It's like the departure of his first love Sylvia, although it is painful, but Truman never really expresses it, but only buries Sylvia deep in his heart. It is like the moon hidden in the night sky, and the purity and gentleness of the moon can only be seen on a cloudless night.

Therefore, Truman hides all his emotions tightly in the depths of his heart, but he is always laughing at himself: he laughs at his timidity, and he does not dare to leave Seside for the rest of his life; laughs at his ordinariness, as if his life has never had any waves; self-deprecating for his ordinariness, without any talent or any specialty, he is destined to be only an ordinary person; Self-deprecating for his cowardice, he never dared to break the routine of life and chase the true desires of his heart.

Such a Truman looks gentlemanly and calm, gentle and friendly, optimistic and bright, like a child. But the struggle and entanglement in his heart, but with the dull days as water, he became heavy little by little, he was laughing at himself, and he was also searching, trying to clear the fog in front of him, see the truth hidden behind it, and see the truth hidden in the depths of his heart.

This calmness and elegance is the biggest difference between Hugo and Kim's appearance, and this is also the biggest difference in the temperament of the two actors; And this contradiction and self-deprecation is the biggest difference between Hugo and Kim in the depths of their hearts, and it is also the biggest difference between the two actors' understanding of the role of Truman.

Everything Hugo has experienced, from the time crossing to the Golden Raspberry Award, from the ups and downs of glory to death to the bumps and bumps in the actor's career, all this makes Hugo inject more intricacies into the role of Truman.

It's just, how do you say the lines? The tone of speech will inevitably need to change, and the pace will need to change...... Hugo is slowly thinking about it in his mind, and the whole process is very interesting, as if he is solving a math problem or playing a Rubik's Cube, and gradually delving into it, he will discover a whole new world, and it will be endlessly fun.

Hugo slowly adjusted, but found that there seemed to be a person standing there next to him for a long time, originally he thought it was just the townspeople were curious, so he didn't mind too much, still studying the details of his movements on the glass of the pharmacy, but this situation continued for a while, which made Hugo realize that he was not on the stage or in front of the camera, but in a real town, and his ease was very strange in the eyes of the residents.

Hugo turned his head with a friendly and calm smile on his face, but his eyes came into contact with a familiar figure, and the two people paused slightly as soon as their eyes touched, and then the curvature of the corners of the two people's mouths was outlined at the same time, and even fluttered and chuckled.

"So, is this the secret method of Hugo Lancaster's acting fame?" The person in front of him laughed and teased.

Hugo spread his hands, maintained his elegant smile, and said in a faint mocking tone, "The amateur trick of stealing from teachers seems to have been exposed now. The self-deprecating tone was different from Hugo's usual mildness, and the tail note seemed to rise a little more, as if the whole person was full of more vigor, and the positivity was slightly jumpy, with a little drama; At the same time, there are some different habits in the choice of words, the subtle differences are even difficult to detect, but the overall feeling is completely different, "But I believe that Ms. Nicole Kidman should be confident that she will not covet this little trick from me." ”

Standing in front of Hugo is the heroine of "Truman's World", Nicole Kidman.

Nicole also noticed the unusualness in Hugo's tone, she tilted her head slightly, but didn't say much, "Who knows?" I also have a huge baggage for challenging comedy now, and Tom has been making fun of me since the day before yesterday, hoping that I won't be a stake in front of you. This was mocking Brad Pitt, which made Hugo raise his eyebrows slightly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth never changed, "I heard before that you were very well prepared before filming, and today you have an intuitive understanding." ”

Hugo tapped his chin lightly with that big smile, and raised his eyebrows up, piling up thin lines of forehead lines, "Thank you for the compliment." If it were Hugo, he would say, "I would take this as a compliment," but this subtle difference can reflect the state of mind, emotion, and personality of a person when he speaks - it is still Truman who speaks, "So, why did you appear alone in the ......" Hugo looked back and forth, "on this beautiful street?" ”

Faced with Hugo's little playfulness, Nicole laughed again, looked carefully at the streets in front and behind that were almost featureless, and her eyes showed the confusion of "Are you sure you used the right adjective", "I just want to get familiar with the whole filming location before shooting, this is a habit of mine." ”

Nicole is still Nicole, always the usual Nicole, she seems to be aware of Hugo's abnormality, but she doesn't, because she always talks like Hugo, and there is not much difference from her usual state. This made Hugo a little unaccustomed.

Starting from "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", due to Al-Pacino's habits, Hugo is used to devoting himself to the role of the script before the official start of filming, even if the script is rehearsed, he will devote himself wholeheartedly; Since the "Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo has begun to develop a new habit, that is, to ponder the details of the character little by little during daily breaks, especially after leaving the script, which is actually an effective way to make the character more three-dimensional - during the filming of "L.A. Confidential", this method was fully played, allowing the role of Ed to be infinitely extended.

Previously, Hugo's rival partners were very cooperative, and even gave Hugo a lot of inspiration to help Hugo complete the performance, such as Morgan Freeman in "The Seven Deadly Sins", Susan Sarandon in "Death Row Walk", Charlize Theron and Kevin Spacey in "L.A. Confidential".

So, Hugo is used to this way of brewing.

But today Nicole didn't cooperate with Hugo - she didn't even point out Hugo's anomaly, maybe because she didn't have enough tacit understanding with Hugo, after all, they spent more time together through Tom. This made Hugo's rhythm a little difficult to control, and he wanted to continue to delve into Truman's performance in daily conversations and hone the role little by little, but Nicole's attitude made it difficult for Hugo to continue.

The smile on Hugo's lips narrowed slightly, but there was still a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Me too, I'm getting acquainted with the community we're about to live in." This sentence is actually Hugo's own tone, but his expression still has the relatively dramatic effect, "So, are you willing to join me?" ”

Nicole was keenly aware of Hugo's change and smiled widely, "I'd love to, if it's any other time, I'm very willing." I guess that's what Tom allows. A joke made Hugo laugh heartily, "But now, I need to familiarize myself with the shooting location, organize my thoughts, and I still don't have any clue about the upcoming shooting." ”

Nicole politely declined Hugo's invitation, but for good reason. In fact, when Hugo and Nicole met several times before to talk about the script of "Truman's World", Hugo vaguely felt that Nicole prefers to study the role by herself, and she has more confidence in her acting skills and talent.

Of course, there is also part of the reason for Nicole's appearance. Nicole, like Charlize, is an absolute beauty. Beauty is very easy to be characterized as a vase in Hollywood, and Nicole and Charlize have chosen the same path in order to break this shackle, and the two stubbornly polish their acting skills in low-budget independent films, hoping to one day conquer Hollywood with their performances.

Therefore, for Hugo, who is also outstanding in appearance and excellent acting but lacks that kind of heart-to-heart familiarity, Nicole is more guarded, and at the same time breeds some competition, which is understandable.

Whatever the reason, Hugo had no reason to refuse, he smiled and made a gentlemanly gesture, and then Nicole also made a ladylike cross squat to express her gratitude, and then took another step and walked down the street without hurrying.

Hugo stood in place, watching Nicole's figure disappear around the corner, but he took a deep breath, although filming has not officially started, Hugo can already feel that this collaboration will be different, not only because he can feel that the rhythm between himself and the actor is slightly different, but also because this is a comedy, which is a challenge for him and Nicole, and both of them are bound to be relatively cautious.

Therefore, this cooperation will encounter more and more unknowns. Of course, working with different types of actors is one of the compulsory courses for actors, and it depends on what will happen after the filming starts.
