Chapter 279 279 American Sweetheart

The ridiculous news about "Hugo's suicide" was quickly clarified. After Hugo turned and left, the reporters also asked many crew members for confirmation, including all nearby residents, and the results showed a fact: the day before yesterday In the evening, the "Sleepless in Seattle" crew had a very pleasant all-night rave without any problems, let alone committing suicide.

As a result, the fabricated news of the "National Enquirer" once again laughs and is generous, but this has long been accustomed to the "National Enquirer".

This time, the absurd rumors came and went quickly, and soon disappeared from the news torrent, but it made many people remember the movie "Sleepless in Seattle", I don't know if it was an unexpected gain. As for the reporters' exploration, Hugo didn't have any more thoughts to consider, because since this time, Hugo has been thinking about his own acting experience, combining his life experience with the character's experience, so as to Deliver a more realistic performance. This is what Hugo values ​​most.

In fact, before this, Hugo's performance was more about pondering the character, and through the carving of expressions, eyes, voice, intonation, movements, gestures and other details, the image of the character was three-dimensional. But in Sam's performance that night when his true feelings were revealed, Hugo ignored these details because of the inner emotional conflict. On the contrary, he was more from Sam's psychological and emotional point of view, savoring the emotions of bitterness, depression and sadness. All performances It came out naturally. He didn't pay attention to how his eyes should be displayed, how his expressions should be portrayed, and how his tone should be adjusted. He just followed his feelings and naturally showed a real emotion.

The performance presented in this way is very natural. Although it lacks strength, the emotional infection is very good, which can make the emotions of the characters resonate with the audience.

So, how can we combine emotion and skill to make the performance more three-dimensional?

In fact, every type of movie is a very test of acting skills. Not only drama movies need acting skills, comedy, action, horror and other types of movies also need acting skills. To give the simplest example, the protagonist in "Transformers" is constantly When running and panicking, it seems that acting skills are not needed, but in fact it is not. How to express the true emotions of the characters on the camera is acting skills. It's just that action movies, horror movies, and comedy movies leave relatively little room for performance.

Old actors like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, even in romantic movies and comedy movies, can give impressive performances because they can integrate the performance into the characters, and then Integrate your own charisma with your characters, convey it through the storyline, and infect the audience.

Hugo seemed to have vaguely touched such a level in his performance experience in the movie "Sleepless in Seattle", but it was still unclear. This made Hugo realize that such a performance process is also very precious, and it may be the way to further improve his acting skills, so Hugo cherished every performance opportunity in every scene, and carefully pondered the emotional changes of the character Sam .

Fortunately, Hugo's inner scruples have completely disappeared, so the performance process has gradually become a kind of enjoyment process, and Hugo can put aside those redundant factors and devote himself to the study of acting skills, which is the best news. .

It's a pity that Hugo is still a long way from that level, not to mention combining emotion and skills, and even presenting the character from his own psychological and emotional perspective, Hugo does not have a clear grasp. Sex is too hard, which makes the performance on camera slightly exaggerated.

Excessive force is very necessary on a theater stage like Broadway, because the stage is limited, but the audience seats are very wide, and actors must use slightly exaggerated and enlarged performances to infect the audience. But the same situation appears in front of film and TV cameras, and it becomes artificial. So control is very important.

How to control his emotions and find a balance between himself and the character has become Hugo's biggest issue at present. So the filming of "Sleepless in Seattle" turned into a very pleasant experience for Hugo to enjoy, as he was trying to use his abilities to create a different kind of mature and stable Tom Hanks in his mind. Sam image.

Joseph looked at Hugo who was fully engaged in the performance, and his inner worries finally relaxed completely. He could feel that the Hugo he was familiar with was back again. This is really good news. And Hugo actually found a new breakthrough in his acting skills in the movie "Sleepless in Seattle", which was even more unexpected, and finally made Joseph's heavy heart clear and gradually became clearer. Perhaps, diving that night was indeed a wise choice.

The crew was running at a high speed, and the Seattle scene was soon announced in the first week of March, and there was only one scene where Anne came to Seattle to find Sam. Mistaken that Sam's best friend was his date, so just had a face-to-face and backed off. But the moment Sam saw Anne, he had a special feeling for her. The magic of love at first sight seemed to be created between the two of them. Unfortunately, Sam was not able to grasp it.

At this point, Meg Ryan finally ended the filming of "The Heartless Earth and Lovers", and rushed to the crew in a hurry.

Looking at Meg in front of him, Hugo couldn't help but sigh. In fact, it was already the 21st century when Hugo began to have a lot of exposure to movies. At that time, Meg was going downhill at a very serious rate. Among them, Hugo's deepest impression of Meg has been stuck in a bad comedy movie in 2008.

The one called "My. Mom's. New. Boyfriend" is a comedy that I've seen and forgotten about, Meg and his fading forever Latin lover Antonio. Banderas, And Tom - Hanks' son Colin - Hanks (Colin. Hanks) in which played Meg's son. In this movie, Antonio is more attractive as he gets older, Colin has the handsome style that his father didn't have when he was young, but Meg is getting old after all. People are sighing endlessly, and they can only sigh that the years are always gentler to men.

But today, Hugo saw Meg, who was only thirty-two years old. Meg, who was in the prime of her life as an actress, had long golden waterfall-like hair, smiling eyes and a playful little woman attitude. Her lips were smiling broadly, like a sweet macaron, colorful and sweet. Just one glance made people fall in love with her. Although Meg is not the kind of gorgeous, but the sweet smile is beautiful to the heart, with the kindness of the girl next door, and the creamy smile, it is indeed one that people have to like.

American audiences have always had an inseparable nostalgia for sweethearts, from Mary. Pickford in the silent film era to Audrey. Hepburn, from Diane. Keaton To Goldie-Hawn (Goldie. Hawn), and then to Meg-Ryan and Julia-Roberts in the 1990s, sweetheart beauty has always held an irreplaceable important position in the hearts of American audiences, even after a long period of time. In the long history of film, American Sweetheart and English Rose also have a very glorious page.

Meg is known as "Honey. Queen", "When she smiles, the whole world is drunk" has become the best footnote to her, and today Hugo really felt the charm of Meg's sweetheart.

Hugo had met Julia at the lunch meeting of the International Innovation Management Company before. Julia was known as a big mouth beauty. Her bright smile and absolute affinity made her the most iconic beauty in Hollywood. Compared with Julia, Meg's smile is sweeter, with a little bit of playfulness and coquettishness of a little woman, and at the same time, there is a kind of pleasant style, which just feels like a spring breeze.

Hugo couldn't help but sigh again, the years are always gentler to men, but women are so dazzling when they are in their prime. The image of Meg in "Agent's Special Mission" gradually faded in my mind, while the image of Meg in "Sleepless in Seattle" gradually became clear in my mind.

"Good afternoon, Meg, nice to meet you." Hugo stretched out his right hand.

"Nice to meet you, Hugo." Meg held Hugo's right hand with a bright smile on her face, her rosy lips as if smeared with a layer of honey, and there was no bright sunshine in Seattle. Sparkling, "Sorry for being so late and missing almost half of the movie, so sorry."

Hugo smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, because I will also be absent for the second half of the film. I'm here to ask your forgiveness." Next, the crew will go to Chicago and New York to shoot the rest of Hugo's scenes, and then Hugo It will be the first to finish, and then the crew will move to Baltimore to shoot Meg's part. That's why Hugo said this.

"Oh, that's fair." Meg was stunned, but then said with a smile, "Then hope our cooperation during this time will go well."

"If you're not tired," Hugo said thoughtfully. Meg just came over from another production crew, and is about to start shooting another drama. This is not an easy task. Even a person with excellent acting skills, constantly changing back and forth between different roles, is not an easy task. So easy.

Meg was obviously very happy to hear Hugo's words. "I think our cooperation will be very pleasant." This made Nora, who was standing by the side, smile, but Meg noticed that she had been standing Next to Hugo, the little friend who was holding Hugo's left hand did not smile, she immediately looked at the little friend, "Hey, this should be the biggest hero of our movie, Hugo, don't you intend to Let me introduce?"

Jonah played by Ross is the beginning of the communication between Sam and Annie. Without Jonah calling the radio, there would be no back story. So Meg's words were certainly not wrong.

Hugo rubbed Ross's head lightly and said fondly, "This is my son, Jonah. Jonah, would you mind saying hello to Anne?"

Then Ross showed a bright smile, "Hello, Annie, are you going to be my new mother?"

This childish language suddenly made everyone around laugh out loud.
