Chapter 1816 Chapter 1816

Facing Charlize's question, Hugo didn't know how to explain it. On the one hand, it was because he really didn't know how to describe that performance state; on the other hand, it was because of the fusion of method acting and expression acting. He wasn't sure if Charlize was right for him, even if it was a daring attempt of his own. At present, the whole of Hollywood is completely dominated by the method school.

Hugo thought for a while, "Do you remember when I was filming 'Death Row Walk'?" Charlize nodded, not long ago she suffered from schizophrenia during the filming of "Devil's Advocate", "while filming I have done a lot of preparation before, and I have been trying to make myself understand the state of Matthew's life, because even the devil is not born like this. What is the reason for Matthew to deny his crimes, Matthew blames his mother, his What is the reason for my younger brother and his wife, and what Matthew went through to get to this point... I kept communicating with those prisoners, and even tried to treat myself as Matthew during the communication process..."

"Gradually, Matthew is no longer a character, but a real person, a real person in my mind, he will even talk to me, communicate with me. Many times, even I can distinguish Don't know the difference between fantasy and reality. But there's a line in the end, I can't really be Matthew, I still have lines to say, I have work to do while filming, So, I will try to control him, not just the character, but also the performance, let 'Matthew' put in the performance, and make the most accurate performance in every detail..."

Speaking of this, Hugo paused, and looked at Charlize, "Do you remember the acting class you took before? Those basic acting skills?" Charlize nodded, and then Hugo continued, "Yes, It is to use those basic performances to make the most correct performance at the right time. Maybe it is only some changes in details that many people can't see..."

"But the feeling of the whole performance will be completely different." Charlize took the second half of the sentence, and the whole person suddenly realized. She stared at Hugo's amber eyes and listened intently, lest she missed anything. With just one word, a dazzling look appeared in her eyes, and she could even vaguely feel her voice trembling slightly, and the irresistible excitement was clearly audible.

"Wow..." Charlize sighed, the smile on the corner of her mouth was completely outlined, "Wow! Wow! God, what kind of friend did I meet!" Just listening to Hugo's description, Charlize was covered in goosebumps The pimples popped out, and the soul-shaking excitement couldn't be described in words. In the end, Charlize simply stood up and shouted to the sky, "Wow!" Sitting in place is utterly exhilarating.

After finally expressing her inner impulse, Charlize sat down enthusiastically, then stopped several times before she wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say, and finally let out a long breath, "Although I really I admire you very much, and I am eager to reach such a level, but... I have to admit that my level is not at such a high level." Charlize is a smart woman, and has always been like this.

Hugo waved his hand, "My method is applicable to me personally, not necessarily you can apply it."

"Of course, I don't want to be like a lunatic." Charlize rolled his eyes without hesitation, causing Hugo to chuckle again, "However, if you really want to continue to study, I think In the future, you will really become a drama player, which is admirable."

Although Hugo's current performance is really brilliant and can surprise people every time, in fact, Hugo still has room for development. He has just entered a new stage after "Death Row Walking", and the role of Ed in "LA Confidential" is still not inspired. Bring out Hugo's full potential. However, as Charlize said, as long as Hugo is willing to continue to work hard and continue to study, one day in the future, he can also become a real actor like Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, and Katharine Hepburn. Every gesture is a play, and understatement is a story.

"As for me, I'd better delve into the role now." Charlize twitched the corners of her lips mockingly, but the conversation just now was not completely useless, Charlize had a new understanding of the basic skills of acting, and her analysis of the role Also had a new perception. Hugo's shaping of the character has been conceived in almost every aspect from birth to the present, even including the impact of the setbacks suffered by his first love. Relatively speaking, her conception of the role is very rough.

It was only then that Charlize suddenly realized why she had tried her best and performed very well in "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Devil's Advocate", but she always felt that something was missing. It is difficult for the director and the audience to see it with the naked eye, and it is also difficult to express it in words, but as an actor himself, he should have a clear understanding.

"So, what does Lynn look like to you?" For the first time, Charlize became interested in Hugo's character idea, which was a world she had never seen before.

Hugo shrugged, "Well, I think Lynn's parents should have divorced, but they broke up peacefully."

"Why?" Charlize looked very curious.

"There are many possibilities..."

Hugo and Charlize just sat on the concrete floor in front of the police station, without coffee or red wine, even shivering because of the cold dew in the middle of the night, but enthusiastically shared their thoughts. The staff who came in and out of the gate all cast their gazes. Seeing such a strange scene, many people gathered around curiously. The two of them didn't mind, so they asked everyone to gather around and listen.

The role of Lynn in "LA Confidential" is actually not very important, but the role is very important. As a result, under the outline of Hugo and Charlize, almost every aspect of Lynn's life was considered, even including her scenery in high school, her hobbies in elementary school, and the way she came to Los Angeles... Far beyond the scope of a biography, it almost pulled Lynn from paper to real life.

One batch of staff left and another batch came, and then another batch left, back and forth, and finally only a few sporadic people were left on the crew to finish. Curtis had already left a long time ago. After discussing the grouping of the crew with several assistant directors, he just handed over the final grouping list to Hugo, and then left the set.

"Hugo, if you don't leave, zombies will surround this place." The staff shouted loudly, which brought Hugo and Charlize back to their senses, and looked around, only to find that there were only the last three drivers left. Also getting ready to drive the van back to Burbank. Everyone else has left completely, and the whole street is so quiet that you can even hear the shouts from the next few streets.

Here is the next. In the urban area, after ten o'clock in the evening, the law and order began to become chaotic. That's why the staff say that.

Hugo waved his hands and said with a smile, "Get off work, be careful when driving on the road." Then he stood up, "The two of us should go back too, otherwise we will catch a cold tomorrow." Hugo stretched out his right hand, Charlize grabbed his hand and stood up, only then did she realize that although she was wearing a coat, the temperature was indeed a bit cold.

"Do you need me to take you back?" Hugo looked back, and there was only Charlize's car parked there alone in the parking lot.

Charlize sneered, "Are you sure I wasn't the one to take you back?" Because Hugo's car wasn't here, his car was parked next to Al Bar, and since he could drive by himself now, Joseph and Samora went back first.

Hugo also sneered speechlessly, "Then you go back and be careful, are you coming to the set tomorrow?"

The two walked towards Charlize's car side by side, "Come on, of course." Charlize said briskly, "Watching the performances of Hugo Lancaster and Kevin Spacey live, this is not Everyone is honored." After finishing speaking, Charlize laughed, and the crisp laughter echoed in the empty streets.

Watching Charlize's car gradually disappearing from sight, Hugo let out a long breath while standing still, and then took a step towards Al's bar. Since the nearby streets were closed by the crew of "LA Confidential", the surrounding streets seemed very quiet at this time, as if Hugo was the only one left in the world.

When the street turned a corner, the moonlight shone unscrupulously, which made the eyes used to the darkness a little uncomfortable, and then Hugo saw the back of an old man walking slowly on the empty street.

The old man's back was a bit bent, and he was leaning on a cane in his right hand, but he tried his best to straighten his back to avoid looking old and weak. Unfortunately, the inability to speed up his pace still betrayed the true condition of his body. The silvery thin white hair looked more and more cool under the moonlight.

Hugo couldn't help but sigh a little. Although he didn't know the old man's story, the power of the years is still embarrassing. But when Hugo was about to look away, he realized that the figure from the back looked familiar. He focused on it carefully, and then saw the old man turned sideways, ready to cross the road. Hugo recognized the side face immediately.

Although it is said that Hugo has prosopagnosia, he will definitely not recognize his acquaintances. For example, the old man in front of him has been yelling in their house downstairs for nearly three years. How could he not recognize him?

"Ernst." Hugo shouted loudly, the old man paused, but then turned around, then quickened his pace, and continued to move forward, as if he didn't want to meet Hugo, "Ernst! Hugo ran up quickly and caught up with the old man in a few strides, "Hey, Ernst."

The glaring old man standing in front of him was Ernst Lehmann.
