After a simple greeting, Hugo immediately joined the friends of "Friends" to start the rehearsal of today's script. Although it is said that Hugo's cameo appearance in "Friends" has always been kept secret, in fact, after the script came out, Hugo had read it for the first time - not as David feared, the script was obtained by Hugo After the approval, the decision was made later. Instead, the actors of "Friends" saw the script after Hugo.

The beginning of the rehearsal seemed a bit chaotic, mainly because Courteney and Jennifer couldn't get into the script immediately, and even a transitional line would make the scene laugh. Obviously, the arrival of Hugo still caused subtle changes in the atmosphere of the scene, and each actor inevitably had some fluctuations.

It was originally an hour-long rehearsal, but after a delay of nearly forty-five minutes, it was announced that the rehearsal had come to an end.

After the rehearsal, Hugo left the lounge and walked outside. Standing at the door of the lounge, you can see a huge wooden partition in front of you. After a few steps forward, you can see that this is a three-sided circular wooden partition, which is the room of Monica in "Friends". At the end of the room is a wooden door, through which you can see Monica's apartment, which is a scene that appears in this drama almost every day, but after being immersed in it, it is found that it is so simple and even has no ceiling.

Turn around, walk a few steps along the corridor, you can see another scene, it looks dark and narrow, walk in and take a look, but you can see a wooden door in the space of two steps, look inside , It's actually a unique place, the Central Park Cafe (Central. Perk) that is too familiar to the scene is laid out in front of you.

However, before Hugo had time to sigh about the simplicity and magic of the scene setting, he could see the onlookers who were taking their seats one after another, which shocked Hugo. Because the most famous sofa in the Central Park Cafe is directly opposite to a large open space. There are stepped seats on the left and right sides of the open space. The open space is even more than double the space of the cafe itself. The whole field of vision can be seen at a glance. Before the end, you can clearly see countless chandeliers, booms, cameras and other equipment.

Hugo quickly stopped and looked back. Although he had previously experienced shooting in the studio when he was filming "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness", today's large-scale indoor sitcom like "Friends" has opened Hugo's eyes, almost including the whole world in one studio. , just a few seemingly simple clapboards, including the ten years of "Friends" life.

The studio shooting is obviously completely different from the outdoor field shooting. The whole scenery, space and orientation feel different, but the audience who watched the shooting on the spot made Hugo even more incredible. Although there were onlookers during the filming of the movie, it was just a spectator. Today, the audience at the scene made it clear that they made a special trip to watch the shooting. This is not like the shooting of a movie or TV, but more like a performance of a stage play.

In other words, every move of the actors will be displayed in the audience's sight, and any mistakes will be magnified. Although this is different from the stage play after all, there is room for error, but the audience's attention is for the actors. Silent pressure. What's more, it's comedy!

Hugo knew that the live crew would definitely bring the audience along, instructing them to laugh where they should, to avoid the cold. But the actor's feeling at the scene is very real, because whether the audience's laughter is real or fake, there is no way to hide it. That's totally exponential for comedy.

Faced with such a situation, Hugo felt fresh and nervous as well!

Hugo, of course, knew that sitcoms had canned laughter, but he always thought it was recorded laughter, not the audience. So when I saw so many viewers outside the studio today, Hugo didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just a movie fan who came to visit the class. After all, "Friends" is now a popular TV series.

But now the situation has completely changed. It is no wonder that the screenwriter and director were both watching during the line rehearsal just now, and the specifications were stricter than the usual script practice.

Although the acting breakthrough of "Death Ramble" had just ended not long ago, Hugo still felt excited at this time. He knows that he is not an excellent comedian, but it is precisely because of this that today's challenges are more difficult and difficult, which also gives Hugo a different vision for the world of acting.

Looking at the noisy audience at the scene, Hugo suddenly understood the stubbornness and persistence of the British Academy Party stage play.

Thinking of this, Hugo is not only excited about the work of today's guest appearance in "Friends", but also has more expectations and self-requirements. He didn't want to ruin the good impression of "Friends" in the audience's mind because of his poor performance!

Hugo took his steps back and turned to leave the cafe scene. Since we need a live audience to test the quality of the episodes today, let's make everything more real. Hugo is also looking forward to what kind of reaction his performance will elicit from the audience, which is more exciting than attending a movie premiere.

At this moment, the spectators are entering the studio one after another according to the established procedure. Although it is said that it is a quarter of an hour later than expected, this little waiting time did not kill their patience, but made them more excited, almost every time A person who came to the scene could not contain the excitement in his heart.

In fact, before coming to Burbank, all the audience members did not know anything about the situation, and just regarded it as a normal filming. They had no idea that the number of audience members had doubled than usual today. No abnormality was noticed.

Until Hugo came along.

The scene outside the studio was instantly boiling, and the scene was out of control for a while. No one dreamed that Hugo could be seen on the scene today during the shooting. This is simply an annual Christmas gift. Even if Hugo entered the studio, the boiling outside the venue could not subside for a long time. Almost every audience member was excited and couldn't wait for the next shooting.

The waiting time was almost slowly spent in anxiety, anticipation, excitement, and excitement. After everyone took their seats, looking at the setting of the Central Park Cafe in front of them, the surging emotions suddenly suddenly appeared. The invasion made the scene quickly filled with a high temperature, the hot temperature made the air thin, the sound of the heartbeat made the scene noisy, and the approach of time made the mood tense!

The entire studio was filled with a delicate atmosphere at this time, as if waiting for the explosion point, and a big explosion could be ushered in at any time.

Shortly after Hugo returned to the waiting room, the filming of "Friends" officially began. Except for David, the other five people were the first to appear. When they appeared, the audience immediately burst into cheers and screams. Sound, the atmosphere seemed very warm.

For the actors of "Friends", although they seem to be a little too excited today, they are still very handy after they put into work. It can be seen that they are very familiar with the entire operation mode. There were only two errors and pauses, and the previous scenes were quickly completed.

The writers of this episode obviously put a lot of effort into it. The plot in less than five minutes caused the audience to laugh at least six times. Even Hugo, who was waiting on the side stage, just heard it. The lines are hilarious. And this situation also brought more pressure. With the arrival of Hugo's debut time, Hugo felt a long-lost tension. You know, since "The Sea of ​​Righteousness", Hugo has never been so nervous and nervous before acting.

Hugo closed his eyes and allowed himself to think about the character.

Hugo made a cameo appearance today with a virtual character called Steve Rogers (Steven. Rogers). Hearing the name Hugo didn't have any feeling. Matthew was so happy during the rehearsal just now. After explaining it, Hugo didn't know. This is actually the real name of Captain America, a classic character in Marvel comics, which makes Hugo feel that there are three black lines on his forehead. The screenwriter is really childish today.

Steve is an Irishman, and he lives with his sister Elizabeth, so he is very strict with his sister. Elizabeth and Rose are dating. Steve, who came to New York on a business trip, plans to meet Elizabeth's boyfriend, but since Elizabeth is only eighteen years old, Rose is already thirty years old. Even a year older than Steve, which made Steve very dissatisfied.

On the one hand, Ross had to do everything he could to please Steve; on the other hand, Rachel and Monica fell in love with Steve's charisma, and even Chandler and Joey fell in love with Steve. Husband was quite impressed, which put Ross into a dilemma of isolation and helplessness.

Later, Steve and Rachel dated, but after the date, everyone discovered that Steve was not as charming as he looked, and he was actually very unconfident in his heart. After opening up to Rachel, he revealed his childhood nickname, "The Coward," and cried and even jumped into Chandler's arms for help.

It can be said that the screenwriter has considered many aspects, compiled a very credible background and character for the cameo role of Hugo, and also put a lot of effort into humor, so that Hugo can show the two before and after Steve. The difference not only gave Hugo room to show his acting skills, but also gave a lot of room to show Hugo's comedy talents - of course, the premise is that Hugo can let go, drop the burden, and truly integrate into comedy.

Otherwise, such a difficult character will only be a disaster.

Hugo tried his best not to let himself analyze many details of Steve's character, but let himself relax, completely relax, and let the whole emotion slowly substitute into the "Friends" style, and then he heard the person standing beside him. Kevin said, "Hugo, it's your turn."
