Chapter 271 271 Life Emotions

"Ka!" Nora's voice came over, then she stood up and looked at Hugo helplessly, "Hugo, is there any problem?"

Hugo sat on the spot without speaking. Nora walked over and said, "Isn't everything going well just now? Your performance is perfect, why can't you come here? The emotions of the whole scene are postponed, you can perform well before, there is no reason to It's suddenly stuck here, what's the problem?"

Nora was impressed by Hugo as soon as the most important part of the scene began. Although Hugo has shown a deep understanding of the role in the previous two auditions, although Hugo's excellent performance can be seen in the previous week's shooting, when it comes to the main event, Hugo's performance still makes Nora shine. .

Delicate, profound, but indistinct, Hugo vividly interprets Sam's inner heaviness, faint sadness, and hesitant pain with the slight changes in his eyebrows and the emphasis on his words, which made Nora have to express his feelings for him. Clap your hands. Maybe there is not much acting on the surface, but Nora knows that only when the inner emotions are really in place, can the performance be presented so delicately and delicately. This is the success of Hugo's acting skills.

But when it came to the second half of the scene, when it really moved the audience and the heroine, Hugo suddenly got stuck. He didn't look like he was at ease before. It wasn't that Nora called to pause, but Hugo himself gave up voluntarily, just like this time, Hugo immediately paused the interpretation of the lines, and sat in the same place dejectedly, so that Nora had to shout "ka". The situation was bad, but Nora had no idea what was wrong.

Hugo looked at Nora who was standing in front of him, hesitated for a while, but shook his head, "Sorry, Nora, sorry, can I rest for five minutes?"

"Do you need a cigarette?" Nora asked, thinking that Hugo was too nervous because everyone knew the importance of this scene.

Hugo didn't smoke, but he didn't have the time to joke at this time, just shook his head, "No need. I just, just need to go out and get some air." Then Hugo carefully removed Ross, who was already asleep, from himself. He lifted it up on his lap, and put a cushion under Ross's head. After making sure that Ross was not woken up by himself, he quickly left the room, pushed the door open and walked to the balcony at the back.

The location chosen by the crew for Sam was a houseboat next to Lake Washington. The balcony at the back was floating on the lake. Hugo stood by the lake, and the cold wind woke him up.

Before he knew he was going to shoot the scene, Hugo had done a lot of research on the emotional changes in the whole scene. He speculated about the life of the character Sam - just like he did before, don't speculate on acting, speculate on the role. And Hugo knew that Sam was so disheartened because the person he loved had left this world, and he didn't know if he would ever meet another one.

Love needs opportunities. People will meet countless people in their life, but only one person can accompany them to the end of their lives, and many people are unable to meet the right person in their entire lives. Sam used to think that his wife, Maggie, was the right person, and he wanted to hold Maggie's hand until he got to the point of his life, but cancer took his love away, which made Sam's life fall into despair. With Jonah around, he might have left with Maggie. Sam thought it might be the case for the rest of his life, thinking about Maggie every day and not being able to fall in love with someone.

Every time Hugo analyzed Sam's mental journey, he couldn't help but think of Uma. Of course, the relationship between Hugo and Uma has not yet reached such a deep level, and the two have only been officially dating for less than three months. As Charlize said, this relationship does not seem to be deep enough to make people die. live.

But for Hugo, what he lost was not the ability to love, but the ability to question his trust. He didn't know what he had done wrong in this relationship, which made Uma turn and leave him. Although Hugo told himself countless times that it was Uma who made the choice, that she chose career rather than love, but every time after thinking about it, Hugo couldn't help but wonder if he was not doing well enough to make her Uma wasn't attached enough to the relationship.

Choosing between love and career, in fact, most men will choose career, and most women will choose love, of course, other possibilities are not excluded. And Uma is not the "most women", Hugo will always wonder, what is the reason? There are countless possibilities, and each of them is a sharp blade stabbed in Hugo's heart, which makes Hugo question this relationship and his trust in himself.

This kind of mood has too many similarities with Sam. Every time he enters the state, the negative emotions in Hugo's heart will be found out because of "Sam". When he turned it over, he was afraid to show his truest emotions in front of the camera. That kind of pain made Hugo shy away, and that kind of shame that he was covered in red fruit made Hugo scared.

So, Hugo hesitated. He thought he could put himself into the role of Sam without substituting his feelings, but he failed. He succeeded in the first half of the scene, but when the second half touched the real emotional part, Hugo failed. Fear and panic prevented Hugo from focusing on filming.

Hugo lowered his head in frustration, standing in the same place at a loss.

The sound of heavy footsteps came, and Hugo raised his head like a frightened bird. After realizing that the other party was Joseph, he calmed down a little. He turned his head and looked again at Lake Washington, which was outlined by a string of lights. Emotions were still tense.

Joseph looked at Hugo next to him. He originally thought that Hugo had completely recovered. After Hugo and Uma broke up, they completely cut off contact. Joseph thought that there would be follow-up struggles and pains, but Hugo was suddenly His illness interrupted all emotions. After he recovered, Hugo did not bring up any topic about Uma, but devoted himself to the preparation of the band. But it was not until today that Joseph knew that Hugo was not recovering, but hurriedly bandaged the wound and then abandoned it. When a certain trigger point appeared, the pain that burst out instantly hit Hugo in an instant. fall.

Regarding emotional matters, Joseph wanted to persuade Hugo, but he didn't know how to persuade him. Usually, it was no problem for men to talk about women, but emotional problems could not be calmed down in a few words.

Joseph looked at the frustrated and struggling Hugo and said, "I believe you can do it."

Hugo looked up at Joseph in a panic. He couldn't see clearly in the hazy light, but he could see Joseph's confident eyes, which made Hugo unable to look at each other and avoided his eyes in embarrassment.

But Joseph was not frustrated. He continued, "Aren't you curious about the reason?" Joseph looked at the back of Hugo's head and didn't mind at all, "Because you can always make the impossible possible. When you played against Al, you persevered in such a difficult scene, and even made the whole crew admire you; I also remember when you worked with Jack, that scene shocked all the staff, including Luo Bob and Jack. You have enough acting talent, and you have enough inner spirit, so although I don't know how to act, I believe you can find the right path."

Hugo looked back at Joseph, but Joseph looked away in embarrassment. Obviously, it was a little awkward for him to say such inspirational words, which relieved Hugo's tense emotions a little.

When Joseph mentioned Jack Nicholson, Hugo remembered a conversation between himself and Jack. Hugo had always been very curious about Jack's performance, so he asked Jack about the secret of his performance. In the end, Jack laughed a lot, "Hugo, everyone has their own way of acting and method, which is unique. Because everyone's life experience is different, their understanding of the role is also different. The way is naturally different, how to combine each character with its own characteristics and become its own character, this is the so-called acting."

At that time, Hugo did not understand very well, because a person's life is limited, how could every character have experienced the life, such as Sam, who is now played by Hugo, he has never been married or become a father, so naturally there is no way Combine your own experience and your own characteristics.

But now Hugo suddenly understands that what Jack is talking about is not real life experience, but his own experience and past understanding of each character. For example, in the role of Sam, although Hugo has not experienced the death of his wife, he has experienced a painful breakup. He knows the sadness and struggle after a relationship ends. If he can use this experience to understand the essence of the character, then he You can give Sam the character his own character, because that emotional experience is unique to him.

In fact, no matter what the role is, it remains the same - after all, he is a human being, or an alien with human emotions. In short, the emotional part still comes from human thoughts. Therefore, transforming the joys, sorrows and joys in one's own life experience into the emotional changes of the characters is the unique way of performing for each actor, because first of all, the life experience of each actor cannot be replicated. The role and performance experience experienced by the actor They are all different, and the characters that are presented are naturally different.

Emotions, this is the most fundamental thing in every character. What an actor shows to the audience is not his own emotions and his own life, but his own understanding of the emotions of life.

Thinking of this, Hugo's emotions gradually relaxed, because he realized that playing the role of Sam was not about mining his inner memory of Uma. On the contrary, it was his own emotional pain that helped him understand the role of Sam. Then, what he needs to do is not to hold on to the wound in his heart and be unwilling to let go, but to savor the past experience carefully, and then, with this kind of entanglement, pain, and silence, walk into the role of Sam and make this real And the delicate emotion is shown in Sam's way.
