1926 Chapter 1926 Entering the State
At this time, Truman finally found someone to confide in, and he babbled about everything that happened just now. His rich expression made Ma Long clearly feel the lingering fear after the chaos just now, which made Ma Long feel dumbfounded. But Truman said in a breathy voice with a meaningful expression on his face, "This matter has something to do with my father!"
This made Ma Long feel even more outrageous-because Truman's father died at sea when he was a child, he smiled with an extremely ridiculous expression on his face, and his work gradually became smoother, as if he hadn't been hurt at all. any interference with the door. "I think he might still be alive!" Truman whispered mysteriously, but his expression couldn't be more serious.
Ma Long also felt Truman's seriousness, and it didn't seem like a joke at all. He looked back at Truman, but Truman had an expression of "Do you understand my state again? I also feel extremely shocked", "Yeah!" Then he deliberately kept nodding his chin, clearly showing that meaningful state. "I'll tell you the details later."
Truman said in a low voice, and then approached Ma Long, but turned his cheek to the convenience store, looking carefully at everyone in the supermarket at this time, "I think I'm being followed." A lady who was picking fruit met him, and he quickly showed a bright smile—a smile that was too bright to cover up his panic and peace.
"Who?" Ma Long was completely confused. He looked at the place where he was working in a bewilderment, and then looked at Truman in disbelief, staring at him with an expression of "Is my friend's brain squeezed by the door?" With Truman.
Truman didn't have time to deal with Malone's surprise, he just kept laughing with that overly bright smile, and then said almost in a ventriloquic way, "It's hard to say, they look like ordinary people."
Ma Long also followed Truman's gaze and looked at the people in the convenience store one by one. He chuckled helplessly, then raised his chin and looked at the two gray-haired old men at the checkout counter, "What about these two?" ?” The sarcasm couldn’t be more obvious.
But Truman still maintained that exaggerated bright smile, and said vaguely, "I don't know, it's possible." Then Truman turned his head and turned his back to everyone again, "As soon as I have a sudden Move, they...they just..." Truman tried to explain clearly, but found that he couldn't find the exact words at all, so he simply put down the briefcase, then raised his hands and clapped vigorously twice, followed by He picked up his briefcase again, turned around quickly, and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen?"
Malone carefully looked at the surrounding scene, "No."
"Yeah." Truman nodded of course, "We have to get out of here!" Ma Long shook his head and refused, but Truman insisted, "Let's go, let's go!"
Ma Long started his work again, "If it's not good, it's not good." Truman stared at Ma Long, like an angry child, and let out a bulldog-like growl, "Huh!" Gritting his teeth tightly, He stared at Ma Long with round eyes, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal. The childish expression made Ma Long look very helpless.
Malone looked back at the chocolate in his hand, then smiled dotingly, shook his head and said, "You're going to get both of us fired. You know that."
But Truman didn't care, instead he laughed loudly, patted Ma Long on the shoulder, and smiled dryly, "Haha, buddy, let's do this!" Then he walked quickly to the door of the convenience store, and at the same time Forgetting to hide his abnormality, he said in an extremely high-pitched voice, and the words also changed slightly, "You can do whatever you want? Yes, sir (Siree), birthdays only come once a year." Truman Seeing Ma Long go out, he laughed dryly at the convenience store twice, and then quickly left the convenience store.
"Ca!" After Peter's voice fell, everyone in the audience began to laugh, and even two people couldn't help laughing outright, not only because Hugo's performance was too funny, but also because of those winking eyes The small gestures really filled the picture with joy, especially the expressions of Truman and Ma Long trying to find out who was watching him in the convenience store, which is simply amazing.
Alex couldn't help but let out a long breath. He finally found the feeling of acting, and finally understood what a rivalry is.
Although Alex has appeared in many works before, including "Happy Family", "Crossing the Deadly Island" and so on, this is the first time that Alex really feels the natural The sense of smoothness, as if the whole scene is under Hugo's control. He only needs to fully devote himself to the role, and he will be led forward naturally. Everything happens as a matter of course, without even thinking or memorizing. lines.
Alex finally felt what is called an acting aura. If the actor is not familiar with the role he plays, or does not understand it thoroughly, or does not read the script comprehensively enough, then performing in front of Hugo, It will become extremely difficult, as if you can't get rid of the shackles with every gesture, like a monkey imprisoned in a cage; but if the actor has enough understanding of the whole scene and enough reading and understanding of his characters, then Yu Guo Guo's performance will connect the whole scene together, and even make his own performance even better. Those inadvertent details are not even realized by himself, but he completes the performance quietly.
For example, "Seven Deadly Sins" is like this. The under-prepared Brad Pitt stood up, while the well-prepared Morgan Freeman brought his calm and atmospheric style to the extreme.
Alex and Nicole were not prepared enough before, either they were completely dragged away by Hugo's performance, like a wild horse that had run wild, and lost their direction directly; or their entire performance stumbled, and they always felt that they were acting It is not in place enough, and there is a distance from the requirements of the script.
No wonder actors like to play against "old actors", not only because they can cooperate with actors they admire, but also because such cooperation can make actors realize their own shortcomings. It is very difficult to become a good actor. And it is even more difficult to become a drama bone that can drive outstanding actors to perform. Therefore, such opportunities are rare.
Alex finally relaxed at this time, and he also realized what Hugo meant. In fact, this scene is not difficult at all, he just needs to show the kind of "Mallon didn't realize Truman's inner struggle" It feels good, but the really difficult scene is the scene where Truman unreservedly shows all the fragility and panic in his heart in front of Ma Long. That is a difficult task for Hugo and him.
"Hugo, can we do it again?" Alex finally found a little confidence, and his whole body became excited, "I think I still can't go smoothly in a few places just now, and find the feeling again."
Hugo nodded without any hesitation. Alex thought for a while, and stopped Hugo who was about to walk back to the convenience store, "May I have some advice?" Alex was still a little uneasy, he didn't think he was qualified to teach Hugo how to Acting, because there are probably less than one person with such qualifications in Hollywood, but Alex still has some thoughts in his heart. As Hugo’s friend, he understands Hugo’s personality, so he decided to say it directly come out.
Hugo looked at Alex with some surprises, and then nodded. Alex thought for a while, "I know you are trying to seek more breakthroughs in comedy. But many times, I can feel You are deliberately controlling, I am not talking about the occasions that need to be controlled." "The Truman Show" is not a pure comedy, and it must not be filmed like comedies like "Ghost in Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber". What needs to be restrained and sculpted, "I mean, when you feel right, you can let go of your hands and feet and perform. You have to trust your own sharp instincts."
Alex thinks that Hugo has a talent for comedy, but Hugo seems to be worried about something, so he is a little cautious in many details, "For example, in the scene just now, the feeling of rambling, you can put the sentence Then cut it off and make it trivial, and then you can match some expressions and gestures. As long as it’s not too extreme, it actually fits the style of the whole scene." Alex’s words made Hugo fall into deep thought, which made Alex a little uneasy , "This is just my own opinion, you can..."
"No, no," Hugo waved his hands again and again, and smiled at Alex, "You're right, maybe it's my personal deliberate control, which made the comedy lose its original effect." Hugo carefully After thinking about it, I found that what Alex said was indeed reasonable, "Don't be so nervous, you are the expert in comedy, and I still have a lot to learn, we can exchange experiences with each other."
There is no limit to learning, live to learn. The same goes for the acting.
"Don't be so humble, both of you. I thought the scene just now was pretty good." Peter walked over at some point, "But I think I need to do it all over again, Alex, your expression still looks a little bit Stiff, not in place, you should let yourself relax; Hugo, you can act according to your own ideas, but I personally think that you can be a little more dramatic, and the irony effect will be stronger-especially when paired with Asia Alex's expression."
Hearing Peter's words, Hugo and Alex couldn't help but glanced at each other, and then they laughed so hard that Peter was a little confused, "Then I'll take it as if you all understand." After finishing speaking, the two laughed Feeling happier, Peter walked back behind the monitor in a daze, and shouted loudly, "Replay the scene just now, everyone return to their original positions."
