Chapter 1810: 1810 Return to the Studio

As soon as Joseph turned his head, he saw Hugo standing at the door of the car. At this time, Hugo was wearing a policeman. The police uniform, the clothes are ironed neatly, without even a single wrinkle; the hair is well-groomed, even the hair on the sideburns is combed perfectly. The whole body looks perfect, as if there is not a single flaw in sight.

Hugo is still the same Hugo, and there are hardly any differences. Although the pair of gold-rimmed glasses are not like Hugo's usual style, they are not conspicuous. I just feel that every detail of the overall shape is so "rainy" Fruit", but all the details are integrated but it is not Hugo. This may be the feeling that Hugo's appearance in the movie is closest to himself after "Before Sunrise", but the actual effect is just the opposite. The man in front of him is almost completely different from Hugo, so strange.

At this time, a large group of people were bustlingly standing at the door of the RV. The scene was very lively, and there were many reporters among them. Hearing the sound of the car door opening, everyone turned their heads and saw Hugo at the door.

Nicholas McLane looked at Hugo in front of him, and had a very strange feeling. He felt that Hugo looked very small and thin now, especially wearing that uniform, he looked even more... frail, which made people feel a little I can't laugh or cry.

At this moment, a polite and friendly smile appeared on the corner of Hugo's mouth. The shallow arc and gentleman's etiquette, everything was so accurate, as if it had been carefully set and arranged. But when Nicholas saw it, he felt an indescribable rejection. He felt... felt that there was a taste of hypocrisy. However, this kind of hypocrisy is not too obvious, but there is an unpleasant atmosphere faintly, that rigid, stubborn, and hypocritical fake pedantic atmosphere is vaguely floating.

That's probably the first impression. Some people’s first impression is that even if they don’t say anything, they give people a sense of intimacy; for some people, everything is perfect when they meet for the first time. No; some people just need a meeting to make them disgusting, maybe a word, maybe a dress, maybe just a look.

Of course, first impressions can be deceiving, this is a fact, but in many cases, first impressions often determine the attitude and content of subsequent contacts and acquaintances. It is not so easy to reverse the first impression.

Most of the first impressions of Hugo are gentle, sunny, and gentleman, which also leads many people to underestimate Hugo—especially the uncrowned kings, so they have repeatedly suffered from Hugo. But today, Hugo is only one stop ahead, and that "first impression" is very bad, not only repulsive, but even an indescribable disgust.

This is actually very unreasonable, because Hugo was standing at the door of the RV without speaking or moving. That initial impression really shouldn't have such a huge deviation.

If someone pays close attention at this time, they will find that more than half of the crowd standing around the caravan are slightly frowning, or just smacking their mouths, and the original enthusiastic attitude has shown signs of cooling down. The other half of the people who didn't observe so carefully or were more nervous, were still noisy, and even started to move around because of Hugo's appearance.

Naturally, Joseph has also observed the changes in Hugo, and he can't understand Hugo's state very well. He knows that Hugo has already substituted himself into the role, but after experiencing the "death rower's walk"—— In "Independence Day", there are too few parts that test acting skills-this is the first time Hugo has really devoted himself to a role, and Joseph is still a little worried.

Therefore, Joseph looked at Hugo nervously, curious about his next move.

But then, Hugo lowered his head, tidied up the shirts he didn't need to tidy up at all, coughed twice, and when he raised his head again, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly outlined, looked at Joseph, and asked , "Joe, I'm not late, am I?"

Hugo is back.

Joseph could clearly feel that this was the Hugo he was familiar with, which made Joseph heave a sigh of relief, "No, there are still two minutes."

Hugo raised his eyebrows and said in a panic, "Oh, no, I'm going to be late." Then he walked down quickly, looked around, but didn't know what he was looking at, and Joseph followed closely , "On your left." Joseph knew that Hugo was looking for the shooting location of the first scene.

Hugo suddenly realized, and then walked over quickly, followed by Joseph. At the same time, a large group of people came to their senses and followed Hugo closely. Various voices came over, "Hugo, what were you doing in the RV just now?", "You were working with the crew just now." Has there been friction among personnel?", "How are you feeling now"...

Nicholas did not follow up, but froze in place, thinking carefully, "Did I get dazzled just now?" Because he only felt that Hugo had changed, but in the blink of an eye, Hugo recovered. As it was, it seemed that the "first impression" just now was just his illusion.

However, Nicholas looked left and right, but found that seven or eight people stayed in place. Everyone's expressions were full of doubts, and even James Rattle still looked like he saw a ghost. Nicholas knew that it was not his own illusion.

"Acting skills!" This idea suddenly crashed into Nicholas's mind, and everything was explained clearly in an instant. The Hugo who just came out of the RV was obviously not the real Hugo, but the one from "LA Confidential". character of. Hugo was in the RV just now, trying to figure out the role.

Although Nicholas has heard many professionals lament Hugo's excellent acting skills, not only in "Death Row", but also in previous works. Hugo's aura and talent in the film works have repeatedly surprised people; But until today, Nicholas really felt this: because he saw this process with his own eyes!

More often, they just see the finished movie and see the actor injecting soul into a character in the movie, but as the audience, it is difficult for them to see the hard work the actor put in during the performance. But just now, he saw the subtle but deep-rooted changes in the soul. To be precise, he couldn't even see the specific changes and traces of the performance, but the feeling brought by Hugo's whole person was completely different. It's too amazing. Nicholas had no idea that Hugo's control over the performance was so delicate and precise.

Nicholas just wants to scream with excitement! After realizing what he had witnessed just now, Nicholas rushed forward excitedly, just wanting to prove his idea, while running, he turned his head and greeted James and others who were still in place, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Keep up! Don't miss it!"

James and the others didn't know what Nicholas meant, but they followed after looking at each other.

After experiencing "Death Row Walking", Hugo's acting skills have indeed entered a whole new world, which is a very interesting process. The most basic thing for an actor is to enter and exit the play. How to quickly enter the performance state and how to distinguish between reality and performance are the basic skills of any actor.

In the first stage, Hugo can easily enter and exit the play, leave the best performance state to the camera, and even drive the actors on the same stage to enter the state together; after entering the second stage, Hugo enters the play As he got deeper and deeper, he began to ponder and control the details of his own performance, and truly entered the palace of method-style performance; in the subsequent third stage, Hugo tried to control the accuracy of the performance, and at the moment of entering the soul, he used the most accurate performance to convey the most authentic Response, this is Hugo's initial attempt to integrate method acting and expressive acting.

The peak of the third stage is "Death Row Walking". In this movie, Hugo almost completely lost control. After entering the play, he couldn't make a play. The whole person was completely lost in the role, and even lost himself. The whole performance also reached the height of integration of soul and character.

From the perspective of performance, Hugo is undoubtedly a success, as evidenced by the affirmation of film critics and the affirmation of many awards; but from the perspective of an actor, Hugo failed, because he can enter the play, But there was no way to play.

The British academic acting system has always advocated a theory that it is impossible for a so-called actor to perform only one role. In an actor's career, he needs to play one hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand different roles. The job is also the skill base of actors.

This theory should be interpreted in this way. It is impossible for an actor to play only one role in his life, otherwise he cannot be called an actor, but can only be called a "professional imitator of a certain role".

For example, the most famous Nicolas Cage, "Far From Las Vegas" made him climb to the peak of his career. The actor Ben Sanderson he portrayed has almost become a screen classic, but Nicholas's "Far From Las Vegas" The "facial paralysis" method has been applied to almost every one of his movies, and it seems that Ben Sanderson appears in different movies. For actors, this is undoubtedly a failure, which is why film critics have criticized Nicholas a lot.

It's a good thing to be too involved in the play to be able to extricate yourself, because the actor injects soul into the character, but if it has been like this all the time, and he still doesn't know how to play, then this actor can't be regarded as a really good actor, it's just a part of that particular role. Professionals only.

Therefore, an actor must not only be able to enter the play, but also be able to play, and be able to control the role instead of being controlled by the role.

In the later stage of "Death Row Walking", Hugo was gradually able to reappear and control the rhythm of the performance in his own hands. Now, after Hugo has opened a new door to the world, he has entered the so-called fourth stage, "Look at the mountain or the mountain, see the water or the water", freely let yourself enter the role state anytime, anywhere, and re-act the performance anytime, anywhere. Separate from life and return to reality.

Therefore, the performance just now can only be regarded as a small test. Hugo can feel the excitement deeply, and it's a good feeling to be back on the set.
