Chapter 128 128

Looking at the long string of zeros on the passbook, Hugo sighed that he was also a millionaire. It all seemed too easy. One million dollars still didn't feel real in his eyes. Maybe he took them all out and put them at home. There was a feeling; but Hugo had no chance, because the money was quickly transferred to Joseph's account, and Hugo's account quickly had less than $200,000 in savings.

"Oh!" Hugo exaggeratedly exclaimed to express his heartache. When he promised Joseph before, he was cheerful enough, and he obviously realized that this was really a huge sum of money.

Although I don't know what happened to Joseph's family, I can see Joseph's anxiety. Thinking about the situation of his own family, Hugo is relieved. At least the Lancaster family has been calm for the past year. No warming, but no worsening either.

Thanksgiving is basically synonymous with family troubles in American movies and TV series, and art comes from life. American families gather together on Thanksgiving, and they will always encounter various conflicts and collective outbreaks. Even so, Thanksgiving is still a time for families to gather. Whether you like it or not, at least your family is still living a healthy life, which is fortunate.

Looking at Joseph being irritable and running around for his family, Hugo also felt Joseph's nostalgia for his family, which made Hugo feel a touch of warmth. The mood that was originally depressed because of his father also gradually became clear with the sunny weather in Los Angeles. stand up.

Things may not be resolved in a short time, but that doesn't mean they will never be resolved.

When he got home, Hugo looked at the empty hall and put the key in the glass bowl by the door, "Alex? Charlize? Carl? Is anyone home?" When I come back to the bank, no one is there.

"I'm here." Charlize's voice came from the room muffled, "Are you back?" Charlize's room door was tightly closed, you can imagine the appearance of Charlize standing inside yelling , Hugo couldn't help laughing: This woman really doesn't look like a woman at all.

Before Hugo could sit down, the door to the room swung open. Charlize lowered his head and walked out while sorting out his clothes, asking, "Are you in a hurry to go out just now? I wanted you to buy some milk to come back, but you left right away."

However, Hugo didn't answer in time, and stared at Charlize in front of him, only to see that Charlize painted his cheeks black, and applied it very evenly, and created some smudges on the light gray background. Then Charlize wore a pair of khaki overalls and a white T-shirt, but the problem was that this outfit seemed to be rolling around in the dirt a few times, and it looked like a homeless person on the street.

After Charlize didn't get an answer, he raised his head as a matter of course, and immediately saw Hugo's surprised expression, "What's wrong?"

"Did you just go to the garbage dump to find dinner?" Hugo finally regained his senses, and blurted out a sentence.

Charlize directly gave Hugo a roll of eyes, "Yes, specially for you." Charlize adjusted his clothes a little, then looked up at Hugo, "How, do I have any flaws? I need to play a role. A homeless man."

Hugo finally understood, looked up and down, and finally pointed to his collarbone, "There is still a color difference between the color and the neck here." Then he pointed to the palm and wrist, "And the homeless. The nails will be darker with a lot of dirt, and the black should be more uneven on the wrist."

Role-playing is a very important part of learning acting. Although there are professional makeup artists in the crew, during the learning process, you must have more control over details such as makeup and clothing. An excellent actor, It is bound to have enough understanding of these aspects. Even if there are professionals in the crew, the actors can have an accurate grasp of the roles from these details.

Although Hugo is not a professional, Hugo has studied countless movies in the ten years before time-travel, and in the past six months, he has studied acting with Charlize and Alex, and began to gradually and systematically study acting. Knowledge, not to mention that he has also made two high-level movie shootings, so Hugo's vision now has indeed made great progress.

Charlize looked at her hands, her nails still seemed a little too clean, then looked at her hands again, and muttered dejectedly, "I've been applying it for an hour, but it's still not enough." , but Charlize turned back to his room and resumed his makeup work.

Hugo followed behind to the door of the room, leaning on the door frame, "Need help?"

"No, the teacher said it's better to do it yourself, after all, makeup is also a very important part." Charlize stood in front of the full-length mirror and checked his collarbone, pulled down the T-shirt to reveal the firm and smooth skin, and then put it on with his hands. The black powder smeared black on this canvas without hesitation.

"Acting work this time?" This was Hugo's only thought, otherwise there would be no reason for Charlize to dress up as a tramp at this time.

Charlize smeared the collarbone evenly before speaking, "Yes. The teacher asked us to choose a character and perform on the street."

"...You chose the homeless?" You are not unfamiliar with this topic. In fact, it is to cultivate the courage of actors in front of strangers. There are various forms of street performances. Even if you just stand there doing performance art, you must bear the attention of pedestrians. , indifferent, or even contemptuous eyes, the pressure will never be less than the lens. What's more, the performances presented in front of the camera in the future are to be scrutinized by the audience. So the subject of street performance is not uncommon in acting classes. It's just that Charlize actually chose the homeless, which is really unexpected.

Charlize nodded neatly, "Yes." Then she started smearing her fingers. The lines on her fingers are more and more thin, so it is not necessary to create the uneven and dirty effect of the tramp in the whole color. Easy, "I was going to draw a face, but found out I didn't have the technology. I just wanted to cover my face and get people to focus on my body language."

Charlize's appearance is really too good, many times unintentionally attracting some unnecessary attention, even the acting teacher is easily distracted. This is a big disadvantage. In fact, Hugo also encountered this situation during the filming of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" and "The Wind in the Sea of ​​Righteousness", but Al and Jack are both sophisticated enough to be able to cope with this and drive the Hugo's performance, thereby masking this. No wonder it is said that the road to the Oscar statuette of handsome guys and beauties is bumpy.

Hearing Charlize's words, Hugo showed a shallow smile and teased, "Are you praising yourself for your appearance?"

Charlize paused for a moment, then looked at Hugo and smiled, "Yes." replied confidently.

Hugo raised his right index finger and shook it, "Remember, don't laugh." Charlize's smile immediately turned into doubt, "Your teeth." Hugo woke up the dreamer. Makeup is really not an easy task.

However, homeless teeth are generally yellowish and even need some stains, but this is not an effect that amateur makeup artists can create, so avoiding smiles is the easiest way.

Charlize restrained his smile and continued to smear his hands, "What about you? What are your plans for the afternoon?" The last two days of "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman" propaganda has come to an end, Hugo gradually relaxed, and the time to rest at home suddenly It increased a lot.

Hugo had no plans at first. Looking at Charlize's appearance, he suddenly had an idea, "I can go to the street performance with you."

Charlize turned his head and looked at Hugo up and down, and pouted, "Just this dress? What do you want to play, the prince giving out the tramp?"

Although it is also makeup, it is no different than Halloween costumes. It requires a whole set of equipment and matching makeup, which is obviously a lot more complicated. Charlize didn't finish it for an hour before and after, Hugo was going to go together temporarily, obviously it was too late to dress up.

Hugo also knew that his appearance was too different from Charlize, so he thought about it carefully, and then smiled, "I have an idea. I think we can perform a short play." Since it is a street performance, then some simple The drama is harmless, on the contrary, it is of great help to the study of acting.

"Drama?" Charlize looked at Hugo unexpectedly and pondered, "Actually, I didn't have a detailed plan, I just wanted to go begging on the street, and weaved a set of miserable life experiences to see how many passersby are willing to Believe. But what better plan do you have?"

Hugo nodded again and again, "I will not conflict with your plan." Although this improvised play is not perfect, the essence of street performance is not to be fake, but to devote himself wholeheartedly, even if the audience knows that all this is just a performance It doesn't matter, the point is to get the audience involved in their performance together. So, there is nothing wrong with exaggerating a little.

Then Hugo whispered to Charlize about his plan. After Charlize heard it, he frowned and said, "Is this feasible?"

"Why not? Anyway, we originally planned to practice our acting skills, and substituting some plots would also help to explode our emotions." Hugo felt that his idea was very good, "Besides, there are some interactions, which are better than sitting alone Crying is much more effective."

Charlize didn't think too much, "Anyway, it's an acting practice, it would be great if you are willing to help, then let's try it." After a pause, "Then do we need to practice beforehand?"

Hugo curled his lips, "Let's react at any time, isn't our story setting an accident anyway? Maybe, there are still some unexpected surprises."
