Chapter 324: 324
Hugo didn't mind Lutheran's opinion, because he knew that his appearance and habit of smiling would not help him play the role of Amon Goss at all, and he knew this very well.
But after going through the preparations for two completely different roles in "The End of the World" and "Sleepless in Seattle", Hugo understood that an actor must constantly challenge his own limits, except for the twenty-five-year-old Hugo to challenge In addition to the incredible role of the hero of "Home Alone", actors can only find their own performance paths through constant challenges and attempts, and at the same time, they can also continuously expand their performance fields.
If an actor's first reaction to a role is "I can't", he will never break through.
In fact, among the actors who play the role with the reversal effect, Hugo admires the most than Kevin - Spacey (Kevin. Spacey). Aside from the role played by Kevin Spacey, purely in terms of appearance, Kevin is a typical middle-class American man, with stretched eyebrows, smooth forehead, and gentle smile. The uncle who is smiling has an intoxicating mature charm.
But it is such a gentle and charming uncle who is known as two villains who are famous in film history, the first being a submissive and unremarkable villain in "The. Usual. Suspects". Gint, and the other is a calm police officer in "Seven Deadly Sins (Se7en)". Check out the unsung killer, who won Kevin the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Kevin, and the latter who earned Kevin a place on the list of evil characters in film history.
In fact, the Broadway-born Kevin has honed himself on the big and small stages of New York, and then honed himself on the small TV screen for years. These rich performance experiences give Kevin an intimidating force in the performance process. The most impressive thing about Hugo is that in "The Seven Deadly Sins", the unknown killer he played took the initiative to surrender to the police station. He was calm, elegant and calm, completely different from the demonized serial killers in people's impressions. He was like a knowledgeable man. academics, and then police. The detectives led them step by step into the traps they had set. This kind of courage is perfectly combined with Kevin's own mature, gentle and charming temperament, but instead forms an irreplaceable evil atmosphere.
Similar roles include Dr. Hannibal in "The Silence of the Lambs", played by Anthony Hopkins, an elegant and professional psychiatrist, who is a kind old man just in appearance, and his strong bookishness makes him He looks like a wise old man, but he can "talk" a prisoner to death while talking and laughing. There was no dry blood at the corner of Anthony's mouth, and there was a terrifying light in the gentleman's polite smile.
For Hugo, Kevin Spacey and Anthony Hopkins are his role models. He must break the fixed pattern brought about by his appearance and create a reverse effect with his inner temperament, so as to transform that kind of A chilling, creepy evil aura unfolds deep into the bone marrow.
Hugo did it once when he auditioned for Steven Spielberg, and all he needs now is to turn that experience into a habit that continues throughout the filming process.
Hugo knew that he came from a non-academic background and had many shortcomings. Although he followed Uma and Alex to take some basic acting classes in the past year, and also went through countless exercises, acting is not mathematics or physics. After the correct formula, the answer can be obtained. Performance needs to be modeled and broken, and experience needs to be forgotten. Only countless trials and learning can make progress.
For the role of Amon, in addition to the weight gain plan, Hugo spent most of his time researching the character's experience, why Amon hates Jews so much, why Amon's personality is uncertain, why Amon Meng will be cynical but affectionate... Because of Amon's special identity, no one has written a biography of Amon, and he is not worthy of being written for him, but in order to play this role well, Hugo has to put Amon story outlined.
Through chatting with Ludger, Regina and others, Hugo added the flesh and blood of Amon bit by bit. Of course, Amon played by Ralph Fiennes in Hugo's mind is also One of the samples, Hugo tried to outline the character of Amon through some scattered details in the population of Regina and others. It may just be a habit. When you cough, you will cover your mouth with your hands; it may be just a glance, using Jews as air. Or the look in the eyes of the object; it may be just a movement, a neat salute gesture... It is this kind of detail that does not seem important, but Hugo can have countless chemical reactions in his mind.
Diligence can make up for the poor, which is very important for Hugo.
"So, what do you think the devil should be? Green face and fangs, bloody mouth, blood dripping?" Hugo slowly digested the story of Ludger and Regina, and then asked with a smile.
Ludger was stunned by Hugo's words. In fact, although the real Amon Goss is not a super handsome man, he is also a rather handsome man. This is probably the reason why Steven chose Hugo. But Ludger believed that Hugo was arguing, because the evil of Amon Goss emanated from his bones, while the sunshine and tenderness between Hugo's eyebrows were hundreds of thousands of miles apart." It's not like you anyway!"
"Luther!" Regina stopped his old friend next to him. Luther's attitude was very impolite, and it had the taste of deliberately targeting Hugo, which was inappropriate.
But Ludegger muttered indignantly, "Amon can't laugh. Even if he can laugh, it makes people tremble with fear. He's not like this stupid kid at all." It's not that Ludegger didn't like Hugo, On the contrary, a polite and gentle person like Hugo makes people feel very comfortable. At first glance, he looks like a good person and is very likeable; but if Hugo plays Amon Goss, it will be too awkward. Especially when Ludger personally experienced the dark period of Amon's rule, he felt more and more unreliable.
"Then... what do you think is more appropriate?" Hugo's warm voice came over, like the warm sun in winter, but Ludger always felt a little strange, because of the rhythm of Hugo's speech It seems to be a little slower and more careful, as if he is worried about disturbing others, but this change is not obvious, so Ludger is not sure if his feeling is correct, but inexplicably, he is a little irritable inside, Ludger feels I must be tired of Hugo's continuous questioning! "You know, this is my job."
"Anyway..." Ludger's inner irritability could hardly be suppressed. As he spoke, he raised his brows and looked at Hugo, but just looking up like this made all the rest of Ludger's words stuck. In his throat, it was as if he suddenly encountered a red light at an intersection, and a row of cars braked suddenly, instantly making the entire intersection bloated.
I saw Hugo in front of him still sitting in front of him, his posture and movements did not change, but the smile on the corner of his mouth restrained, and it hung on the corner of his mouth lightly, as if he was asking a simple question. This smile is maintaining etiquette. But those amber eyes seemed to suddenly fall into the abyss, the clear sunlight disappeared in an instant, leaving only an unfathomable dizziness, and there was a chilling cold in that clear brown. It was like a beast with its mouth open, motionless waiting for its prey to come to the door.
It's obviously the same face, it's obviously the same dress, and there is no change, but the eyes keep getting deeper and deeper under his gaze, and the cold eyes make the expression on his face freeze like this. In a trance, Ludger saw in those eyes the figure he had seen in nightmares countless times. He only felt that everything around him was frozen, and the temperature began to continue with the smile on the man's mouth gradually disappearing in front of him. Descending, as if he was surrounded by ice and snow.
Even Ludger didn't notice it, his whole body began to tremble, and even his teeth were fighting faintly. He was trying his best to suppress his urge to turn around and run away, because he knew that if he made any move, Amon would be indifferent. Shot without hesitation to end his life. Ludger couldn't move and didn't dare to move, he just looked at the man in front of him like this, with cold and evil eyes, handsome and stern face, straight and unrestrained uniform, but the kind of devil hidden under the beautiful skin was not. He raised the death scythe behind him vigorously. No one knew when the scythe would fall and harvest his life.
Ludger just felt scared, he was really scared, he couldn't move, couldn't speak, or even made expressions, he could only stare blankly at the man in front of him, trembling all over, making him almost think he was He was about to become incontinent. He hadn't felt this kind of fear for many years. Just one look brought him back to those dark years that were unbearable to look back on.
Not only Ludger, but Regina, who was sitting next to him, was instantly captivated by terror. He took a deep breath and looked at the man in front of him. He couldn't even say a single vowel. The man slowly closed his mouth as he watched, then lowered his head timidly. The happy and lively atmosphere just now seemed to be frozen in an instant.
Regina tried to take a deep breath, but failed the first time, he had to adjust his breathing again, breathe again, "please...please stop...stop." Regina finally said this sentence, Then he saw Hugo look at him, and the dazzling light made his already old and weak heart tighten together in an instant.
"Amon Goss!"
