Chapter 610: 610 The Twisted Dance

After Christmas, Hugo sent Adam and the Taylor family away, and he was once again involved in the shooting of "Pulp Fiction". Almost the entire crew could feel Hugo's relaxed mood, which filled the filming with a joyous atmosphere.

Quentin even said, "Hugo, I don't know what happened at Christmas, if you did it. Love, I sincerely pray that you will do it every day. Love." lol.

Hugo didn't care at all, and simply replied, "Then I got off work early to find someone?" Quentin couldn't say a word, he could only laugh, "You can just make a phone call. Well, the work still has to be completed, and everything else can be pushed back temporarily, pushed back."

Originally, the shooting of "Pulp Fiction" went very smoothly. The picture in Quentin's mind was very clear, and he had a draft for the camera and the positioning of the frame, so as long as the actors' performances passed, the shooting of a scene could be completed quickly. Now the cooperation of the entire crew is very smooth, and the filming process has finally entered the right track.

Hugo and Bruce also had a few opposing scenes. In fact, when he met Bruce at the Golden Globes last time, Hugo felt that Bruce was still very forthright, although Demi Moore seemed to dislike Hugo, but Bruce was not happy with Hugo. The past doesn't matter. Even if you don't mind, it's okay to drink two glasses of wine between men, so everything went smoothly for the two of them.

Hugo and Uma's rivalry also officially started filming after Christmas. In the script, the only connection point between Hugo's Vincent and Uma's Mia is the gang boss Masha, Vincent is Masha's subordinate, and Mia is Masha's wife. Masha was worried that Mia was too boring, so she asked Vincent to accompany Mia to relieve her boredom. This is where Hugo and Uma have their rivalry.

Vincent mentioned before that a man was thrown from the fourth floor by Masha because he gave Mia a foot massage. Because of this, Vincent decided to treat himself as a sidekick and Mia as a sidekick. It's Masha, serve well, and have no other thoughts than that. Under such circumstances, the relationship between Vincent and Mia was a little estranged and tense. Mia wanted to liven up the atmosphere and relax, but Vincent was a little wary, and he didn't want to be suspicious of Masha. Object.

It's this relationship that made the filming of the opposite scene between Hugo and Uma go so well, because the two of them have the same relationship now and the script.

Hugo did what he said, he completed what a professional actor should do, and successfully completed the shooting of each scene; and Uma was also fully engaged, although occasionally a little out of shape, but due to the excellent performance of the opponent actor Hugo. The performance made Uma's performance a lot easier, so that the shooting went smoothly without any problems.

Quentin first filmed the emotionally intense scenes in the later scenes, that is, the part where Mia's drug overdose caused Vincent to rush to rescue her. Silly drama.

Today we are going to shoot Vincent taking Mia to dinner. Mia chose a happy restaurant full of retro style. There is a big dance floor in the middle. There are also retro car-shaped booths next to the dance floor, and in front of the bar Imitation of Marilyn Monroe's wait staff, won a round of applause.

Hugo and Uma have completed all the scenes in the car deck, and the next scene is the classic retro twist dance competition. There are no lines in this scene, just Vincent and Uma standing Dancing in the middle of the dance floor is a kind of emotional exchange between the two people, which broke the slightly awkward and quiet atmosphere between the two people, and instead created a little bit of ambiguity. ignorant atmosphere.

This scene is not only a simple tribute to the retro, but also a tribute to the twist dance culture that swept the United States in the 1970s. In addition, it is a psychological change and struggle for the character of Vincent: he does not want to be with the boss. The woman danced, but he was asked to make Mia happy again. This was a contradictory proposition. In the end, Vincent was persuaded by Mia and took to the stage. From the very beginning, the movement range was also very small; but then the movement gradually spread out, which also allowed a little emotional communication between Vincent and Mia.

In fact, any play that can be remembered by the public must be because it has the value of existence, not only a classic, but also a memory point. It's like the tango in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". If you look at this dance alone, it's actually a blind old man dancing with a young woman. It's nothing, but after looking at it from the front and back, the audience will find that this simple tango embodies the vibrant heart of this blind old man. His care and love for women is as if he has withered. It's like a rose that blooms again in my life.

When Al Pacino performed this tango, his acting skills were delicate and warm, which may not be as conspicuous as the emotional explosions in the later scenes, but he showed his profound acting skills.

The same is true for the stage of "Pulp Fiction", which shows a delicate change in Vincent's psychology. Many people have always thought that the character of Vincent is too thin, not as memorable as other characters in "Pulp Fiction" stories, including Hugo. But after careful analysis by Hugo, he knew that it was not that Vincent had no bright spots, but that the original actor John Travolta had not been able to dig deep enough. Although John's performance was laudable, Still lacks heat and depth.

Aside from all the backgrounds that Hugo created for Vincent before, just take this twisting dance as an example, in fact, the changes in Vincent's movements, eyes, and posture are all traceable, and you can dig out the character's inner heart. The changes, including Vincent's treatment of Masha and the personality characteristics of women, all have subtle manifestations, making the whole character complete and three-dimensional.

Quentin did not give much room for the role to play, but still left a certain space, as to whether it can be grasped depends on the skill of the actor. This is why later Christoph - Waltz (Christoph. Waltz can rely on Quentin's works twice to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Award. John Travolta was not able to show the depth of the role, so now with Hugo playing this role, can he make a breakthrough?

For Hugo, he finds it very difficult, because he is a dance idiot, he really has no talent for dancing, and now he not only has to dance, but also shows his character through dancing. To make matters worse, he must also There is an emotional connection with Uma, which makes the Twist dance scene suddenly full of uncertain drama.

"Hugo, are you alright?" Quentin said, standing behind the monitor, with some schadenfreude. Usually watching Hugo perform is always in the heart, but now Hugo's embarrassed appearance is too rare Especially after Hugo had just experienced the dilemma of learning dance hard on the spot, Quentin became more and more nervous, "You look a little pale."

Hugo didn't speak, just raised his middle finger, making Quentin laugh.

Uma looked at the nervous Hugo, and saw that he pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at his feet seriously, and then tried to twist his body. In fact, this kind of dance is really not difficult, the most important thing is to twist with one joint Move that part, for example, use the left ankle as the support, twist the left foot; or use the waist as the support, twist the buttocks, and then match some hand movements, there is no strict dance step, it is completely matching A dance that enjoys twisting to the music.

But the amazing thing is that Hugo jumped out of such a simple dance, and it magically jumped out of a sense of joy, which made Uma a little bit unbearable, and said, "No, you don't twist both feet at the same time, first Just start with one. You know, it kind of looks like a crab when you twist at the same time."

After Uma finished speaking, she saw Hugo scratching her head in annoyance and showing a depressed smile, "I think I'm just a little incoherent." This innocent smile made Uma silent, and she Miss Hugos like this. But unfortunately, Hugo didn't see it. He didn't even give Uma more time to react. "Anyway, let's try it first, Quentin?"

Hugo took a deep breath. Although this is not his area of ​​expertise, he still has to work hard to find out. The point is, he is an actor, and what an actor needs to do is to break through himself in difficult situations. Hugo secretly clenched his fists, cheering himself on.

"Are you ready?" Quentin's voice came over, then looked at Uma and Hugo who were standing in the middle of the dance floor, and then said, "Start shooting!"

Chuck. Berry's classic track "You. Never. Can. Tell", from one of the most influential music festivals in the history of rock, rang out, with strong blues and country elements Immediately, the retro vibe of the 1960s permeates all around.

Hugo took a deep breath, slumped his shoulders, looked at Uma with a reluctant expression, and saw that Uma had already posed for a dance, so he clapped his hands helplessly, and then began to dance. I saw Hugo clasped his hands around his waist, stood on tiptoe with his left foot, took the toe as the center, and then began to twist.

Originally, there was no problem with this movement, but Hugo's muscles were too stiff, his hands were tightly folded around his waist, like fried chicken wings; while the right foot that supported the body was completely stiff, like A wooden stake; the twisting left foot has no sense of rhythm, it looks like a robot shaking a bare iron pole...

What's more serious is that Hugo didn't have a sense of coordination all over his body, instead he had an inexplicable sense of joy, especially the slightly raised eyebrows and slightly raised lips, and there was some helplessness in the nervousness. After seeing it, people really didn't know what to do, and a burst of laughter overflowed from their mouths.

Hugo vividly interprets the definition of the term "dance idiot" on the spot today!
