Chapter 1920: 1920 Partners Running In

Nicole and Tom seldom discuss acting skills at home. This is their way of getting along, which also makes Nicole develop the habit of slowly delving into acting skills. She is willing to listen to the teaching of acting teachers, and she is willing to observe old dramas Bone's live performance, but she seldom shares her experience actively, and rarely communicates with others in a serious manner. She's not used to it and doesn't like it.

Turning her head to look at Hugo who was only five steps away from her, Nicole couldn't help but began to look at Hugo carefully. Before entering the crew of "The Truman Show", she had inquired a lot about Hugo - not as a friend, but about Hugo's working status in the crew. Nicole has always heard a lot of praise, but she is more amazed at Hugo's hard work and persistence. Although Hugo is not an academic actor with a professional background, his unremitting efforts have allowed him to surpass countless real academies Pai has dedicated many wonderful performances.

Nicole was also curious about what the cooperation between her and Hugo would be like, full of sparks, tit-for-tat, and gunpowder... But she didn't expect such a result, and felt Hugo's strong acting spirit just in the script practice stage On the scene, while her conception and performance of the characters are dwarfed, they appear rough, simple, and superficial, almost completely out of the same level—or she doesn't want to see such a result.

Nicole suddenly remembered "The Seven Deadly Sins". Brad Pitt was like a wooden stake in front of Hugo, hardly showing any performance, but such an outstanding character was completely exploded. At that time, everyone was laughing at Brad—of course, Brad's acting skills were indeed not up to the standard, but now Nicole realized that everyone had overlooked a problem: Hugo's acting aura had reached a new height, Not everyone can act normal in front of him.

The most direct proof is: Even Morgan Freeman was suppressed in front of Hugo.

In the field of acting, there has always been a saying about the aura of acting. Actors can often burst out endless energy in a limited space, inject sparks into the characters, and easily turn the whole scene into their own one-man show. It is very difficult for a rival actor not to be suppressed, and it may even be reduced to a complete display.

Currently in Hollywood, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, etc. are all recognized as very powerful actors. actor. Hugo played against Al in "Scent of a Woman", although he performed well, he was indeed reduced to Al's supporting role; A tie, but objectively speaking, except for the last court scene, Hugo’s aura was completely suppressed by Jack at other times—and from Hugo’s current perspective, he still used too much force in the court scene fierce.

Now, unknowingly, Hugo's acting aura has reached the level of a master. During the filming of "LA Confidential", the ability to inject chemical effects into characters quietly is second to none. It was only today that Nicole really felt Hugo's powerful aura. Standing in front of Hugo, she couldn't help being tied up. This feeling was really bad.

But Nicole also knows that, in addition to Hugo's strong acting aura, her own lack of delicate carving of the role of Meryl is also a very serious problem. Before coming to the crew, she felt that she had read the entire script many times, and she claimed to have a very thorough understanding of the characters, but the simple practice just now made Nicole aware of the abnormality: there are still many characters in the script. She didn't dig out the details, and her understanding of Meryl was missing a very important link.

Thinking of this, Nicole bit her lower lip lightly, she was still a little unwilling, she didn't want to bow her head to Hugo, but... took a deep breath, and then took another deep breath, Nicole went to sit opposite Hugo again , Hugo raised his head and smiled at Nicole, then lowered his head and continued to read the script.

"Hugo," Nicole called out, causing Hugo to raise his head, but her words stopped when she reached her mouth, she didn't know how to speak, but Hugo didn't say much, just waited with a smile Reading Nicole's next words, this made Nicole show a wry smile. She and Hugo are old friends. They used to talk very relaxed and comfortable, but they didn't expect that the cooperation in the crew would become alienated and awkward, "I am I want to ask, during the script practice just now, I noticed that you seem to be a little... well, how should I put it, confused? There is also a feeling that everything, er, earnestly, seems to be begging. But, why?"

Hugo raised his eyebrows lightly, motioning for Nicole to continue, "I originally thought that Truman should be eager to leave here, the desire to get rid of the shackles and embrace freedom dominates his actions, and the abnormalities around him are just Just a catalyst. So, why is he feeling lost? Why does he need to beg Meryl?"

Hugo shook his head, "No, that's not the case." Hugo looked into Nicole's eyes and said seriously, "Recall carefully, Truman actually had many opportunities to leave, why did he choose to stay? I mean except that he is afraid of water." Nicole thought about it seriously, but doubts appeared in her eyes, and Hugo could only explain, "You know, Truman's dream since childhood was to be like Ferdinand Magellan. Like exploring the world, he longed to embrace the world, but this dream was interrupted..."

"Because the program crew arranged for his father to drown in the sea." Nicole continued.

Hugo nodded his chin, "Yes, that's it. So, since he was a child, he had many opportunities to leave. But he always chose to stay. When Sylvia left, he didn't go to Fiji with her. It was because his mother was seriously ill in bed; when he decided to go to Fiji, the first person that came to his mind was…”

Hugo didn't finish, but looked at Nicole, which made Nicole think carefully, and then said uncertainly, "Meryl?" Hugo nodded vigorously to express his approval, "Oh, so just now In the script practice, Truman begged bitterly, is he begging Meryl to go with him?"

"Yes!" Hugo gave an affirmative answer, "For Truman, family and friends are always the most important. He is willing to give up his dream because of the responsibility on his shoulders. That sense of responsibility and fetters broke him. However, he has no complaints or regrets. Therefore, even though Truman is eager to leave here, his mother, wife and friends are always the reasons why he can't take a step."

"As you said, those anomalies in life are the catalysts, making Truman once again sprout the idea of ​​getting rid of the shackles and embracing freedom, but Truman has no way to leave cruelly. Therefore, he is very confused. On one side is his family, On one side is his own dream, he has always chosen the former, and he is eager to get the approval and approval of the former, but when the former is unwilling to communicate with him, he feels confused again, not sure whether his thoughts are correct, or even Not sure what I really want in my heart. However, with more and more abnormalities in life, Truman gradually found that he seemed to be living in a lie, and Meryl was alienating him little by little. The perfect marriage gradually degenerates into a gorgeous masquerade..."

Hugo's words were not slow, but full of enthusiasm. Just a few words, you can feel his focus and devotion to the role of Truman, and even for a moment, Nicole once again regarded Hugo in front of her as a It's hard to describe the subtle perception in words, but there will be an illusion in the aura, whether it's Jesse from "Before Sunrise", Ed from "LA Confidential", or "Truman". The World of Doors" by Truman Burbank.

"So Truman became more and more determined, his struggle and resistance became more and more intense, and in the end..." Nicole couldn't help but took over Hugo's words, and said firmly, the thoughts in her mind It became more and more clear, as if the entire blueprint was outlined in this way. At this moment, Nicole really felt the aura of Hugo's acting skills, and the image of calm and expression rushed towards her face. Almost at the moment she didn't notice, the image of Truman was already full and three-dimensional.

Hugo didn't notice the turmoil in Nicole's heart, but just showed a bright smile, "Yes, that's it."

Although Nicole and Hugo discussed the idea of ​​Truman's character, Nicole couldn't help thinking about Meryl, what about Meryl? Why would she discourage Truman's dream - because it's a job, but Truman is her husband...

In the process of shaping a character, it is not just emotions, but more often the source of these emotions needs to be considered. If the character gets angry at this time, is there any specific reason or because he is a psychopath? If it is the latter, then he And why became a neuropathy? These roots are crucial to character development.

Unless it is a simple popcorn movie, the character is just a symbol that drives the plot, and these root causes are cumbersome; otherwise, the interaction between the character and the plot is a very important part of the work that really needs to be explored. The cornerstone of an excellent script and an excellent work.

The thoughts in Nicole's mind began to surge, and Hugo didn't speak any more, so as not to disturb Nicole's thoughts, he leaned back on the back of the chair and quietly flipped through the script.

"You're completely wet! Where did you go?" Nicole said suddenly, without any warning, Hugo looked up and saw Nicole's moving eyes, with a soft look in the surprise , flickering slightly, and there is still a child's pampering floating in the depths of his eyes.

A little change, but completely different, Hugo's eyes widened, and the excitement and pleading in his eyes were shining, "I realize that if we squeeze out eight thousand dollars..."
