1917 Chapter 1917 Coordination Problem
Just like the shooting of "L.A. Confidential", in many cases, the differences in small details can shape the characters into different characteristics quietly.
Compared with King, Hugo's version of Truman is more gentlemanly, more elegant, and more contradictory. Under the positive and optimistic appearance, there is a childlike soul.
Because it was smooth sailing from childhood to adulthood, Truman hardly encountered any big waves, and the communication between his parents, friends and him was always separated by a thin layer of barriers—because those people were actors, it was impossible to communicate with Chumen. The door really had a heart-to-heart relationship, but Truman didn't know the reason. He thought this was the way the world was originally run, 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 love. bitterness and confusion.
On the one hand, Truman is already an adult, because he has learned to deal with the world alone, relying on himself for everything; but on the other hand, Truman is still a child, because he has never experienced real storms, and always uses The innocent eyes that have not been polluted look at the world.
Just like the departure of his first love Sylvia, although it was painful, Truman never really expressed it, but buried Sylvia deeply in his heart. It's like the moon hidden in the night sky. Only in the cloudless night can you see the brightness and gentleness of the moon.
Therefore, Truman kept all his emotions hidden deep in his heart, but he always laughed at himself: he laughed at himself for his timidity, he never dared to leave Seaside; he laughed at his ordinaryness, as if his life had never had any waves ;Laugh at himself for being ordinary, without any talent or specialty, so he is doomed to be an ordinary person; Laugh at himself for his cowardice, never dare to break the routine of life, and pursue the true desire in his heart.
This Truman looks gentlemanly and calm, gentle and friendly, optimistic and bright, just like a child. But the struggle and entanglement deep in his heart became heavier with the ordinary days like water. He was laughing at himself and also looking for it, trying to clear the fog in front of him and see the truth hidden behind him. to the truth hidden deep within.
This calmness and elegance is the biggest difference between Hugo and Jin in appearance, and it is also the biggest difference in temperament between the two actors; and this contradiction and self-deprecation is the biggest difference between Hugo and Jin in their hearts , It is also the biggest difference between the two actors' understanding of the role of Truman.
Everything Hugo has experienced, from time-traveling to the Golden Raspberry Award, from the ups and downs of glory to death to the ups and downs of an actor's career, all these allow Hugo to inject more complexity into the role of Truman.
But, what about the lines? The tone of speech must be changed, and the rhythm also needs to be changed... Hugo is slowly thinking about it in his mind. The whole process is very interesting, just like solving a math problem or playing a Rubik's Cube. Discover a whole new world and have fun.
Hugo adjusted slowly, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that there seemed to be a person standing there for a long time. At first, he thought it was just the town residents who were curious, so he didn't mind too much, and continued to study the glass of the pharmacy. But this situation lasted 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 freedom was in the eyes of the residents. It couldn't be more strange.
Hugo turned his head, with a friendly and calm smile on his face, but his eyes came into contact with a familiar figure. As soon as the two people's eyes met, they paused for a moment, and then the arcs of the corners of their mouths were outlined at the same time, and even Puchi laughed lightly.
"So, is this the secret method for Hugo Lancaster's acting skills to be famous all over the world?" The person in front of him joked with a smile.
Hugo spread his hands, kept his elegant smile, and said in a slightly mocking tone, "It seems that the tricks of the amateurs to learn skills have been exposed now." This self-deprecating tone is in line with Hugo's usual Mild and different, the tail tone seems to be a little higher, as if the whole person is filled with more vigor, the kind of enthusiasm is slightly jumpy, with a little bit of drama; at the same time, there are also some different habits in terms of diction , the subtle difference is even difficult for people to notice, but the overall feeling is completely different, "But I believe that Ms. Nicole Kidman should have a city in her chest and won't covet my little trick."
Standing in front of Hugo is the heroine of "The Truman Show", Nicole Kidman.
Nicole also noticed the unusual tone in Hugo's tone. She tilted her head slightly, but she didn't say much, "Who knows? I also have a huge burden for challenging comedy now. Tom has been opening since the day before yesterday. I was joking, I hope I won’t become a stake in front of you.” This was mocking Brad Pitt, which caused Hugo to raise his eyebrows slightly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth never changed. "I heard before that you prepared well before shooting, and today you have an intuitive understanding."
With that bright smile, Hugo nodded his chin lightly, raised his eyebrows, forming thin forehead lines, "Thank you for your compliment." If it was Hugo, he would say, "I will put This is regarded as a compliment", but this kind of subtle difference can reflect a person's mentality, emotion and personality when speaking-it is still Truman who is speaking now, "So, why did you appear alone in..." Before and after Hugo Looked, "On this beautiful street?"
Facing Hugo's little playfulness, Nicole laughed again, looked carefully at the almost featureless streets, her eyes showed the doubt of "are you sure you used the right adjective", "I just I hope to familiarize myself with the whole shooting location before shooting, which is a habit of mine.”
Nicole is still Nicole, always the Nicole who talks and laughs normally, she seems to be aware of Hugo's abnormality, but she doesn't seem to, because she always starts the conversation as if she is treating Hugo, and there is not much difference from the usual state difference. This made Hugo a little unaccustomed to it.
Starting from "Scent of a Woman", due to Al Pacino's habits, Hugo is used to throwing himself into the role of the script before the official shooting, even in the rehearsal of the script; and since "Seven Deadly Sins" Afterwards, Hugo began to develop a new habit, which is to ponder the details of the character bit by bit during daily breaks, especially the daily state after breaking away from the script. This is actually a way to make the character more three-dimensional. This is an effective method-this method has been fully developed during the filming of "LA Confidential", allowing the role of Ed to be infinitely extended.
Previously, Hugo’s partners were very cooperative, and even gave Hugo a lot of inspiration to help Hugo complete the performance, such as Morgan Freeman in "Seven Deadly Sins", Susan Saran in "Death Row Walking" Den, Charlize Theron and Kevin Spacey of "LA Confidential."
Therefore, Hugo has become accustomed to this brewing method.
But today Nicole didn't cooperate with Hugo - she didn't even point out Hugo's abnormality, maybe it was because she didn't have enough tacit understanding with Hugo, after all, they spend more time together through Tom. This made Hugo's rhythm a little difficult to control. He wanted to continue to study Truman's performance in daily conversations and adapt the characters bit by bit, but Nicole's attitude made it difficult for Hugo to proceed.
The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was slightly restrained, but there was still a trace of inquiry in his eyes, "Me too, I am getting familiar with the community we will live in." This sentence is actually Hugo's own tone, but his expression still has For that relatively dramatic effect, "So, would you like to join me?"
Nicole was keenly aware of the changes in Hugo, and showed a big smile, "I am very willing, if it is at other times, I am very willing. I think this is within the scope of Tom's permission." A joke made Hugo smile heartily I got up, "But now, I need to familiarize myself with the shooting location and organize my thoughts. I still don't have any clues about the upcoming shooting."
Nicole still declined Hugo's invitation politely, but with very good reasons. In fact, when Hugo and Nicole met several times before and talked about the script of "The Truman Show", Hugo vaguely felt that Nicole prefers to delve into roles by herself, and she has more about her acting skills and talents. self-confidence.
Of course, at the same time, part of the reason comes from Nicole's appearance. Nicole, like Charlize, is an absolute beauty. Beauty is easily characterized as a vase in Hollywood, but Nicole and Charlize both chose the same path in order to break this bondage. The two stubbornly polished their acting skills in small-budget independent films, hoping to one day be able to Act to conquer Hollywood.
Therefore, for Hugo, who also has outstanding appearance and excellent acting skills but lacks the kind of intimate familiarity, Nicole is more defensive and at the same time breeds some competition, which is also understandable.
No matter what the reason was, Hugo had no reason to refuse. He smiled, made a gentleman's gesture, and then Nicole also made a lady's cross squat to express his gratitude, and then took another step, Proceed slowly along the street.
Hugo stood where he was, watching Nicole disappear around the corner, but took a deep breath. Although the filming had not officially started, Hugo could already feel that this cooperation would be different, not only It's just because he can feel that the rhythm between himself and the counterpart actor is slightly different, and because this is a comedy, it 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, cooperating with different types of actors is one of the compulsory courses for actors. It depends on what will happen after the shooting starts.
