Chapter 773: 773
"Tonight we have Hugo Lancaster on our show," Jay took a deep breath when the cameras started running again, opened the scene succinctly, and quickly cut to the subject, "Hugo, for the past two years, you have Your performance in acting has been praised countless times, but I look at your resume, you are not from a professional acting academy, so how did you learn to act?"
Hugo nodded in approval, "Actually, I learned to act by imitating, you know, watching other actors perform brilliantly on the big screen, and then observe their performance methods, from expressions to movements, and learn along with them."
"Is this true?" Jie looked a little unbelievable. "Then who is your object of study? Because your performance on the big screen shows no signs of imitation."
"Because I don't have a fixed imitator, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Dustin Hoffman, Paul Newman..." Hugo gushed, But he stopped quickly, because the names of Kevin Spacey, Leonardo DiCaprio and the like are not real acting masters now, "I learned not only It's just their interpretation of each character, more is the way they perform, how to show the corresponding characters and emotions through what kind of performance to benefit themselves."
"Wow, this sounds very professional." Jie sighed.
Hugo shook his head and denied with a smile, "No, no, this can only be regarded as a hobby. Any movie lover can do it at home. Later, I still had some acting training in Los Angeles." Hugo is talking about acting training with Charlize and Alex.
In fact, professional acting training is very important. Their courses are very rich in content. It is not just for people to experience joys, sorrows and sorrows. Acting is a very systematic knowledge. Although Hugo was born in a wild way and has never received professional training, it must be admitted that the acting training that Charlize and Alex told him were very helpful to Hugo's performance.
"You mean the academy system training?" Jie asked curiously. There are so many acting academies in Hollywood, and there are countless people who dream of entering Hollywood and becoming famous overnight.
Of course, being a professional is an advantage, that is, a solid acting skills, and it is an innate advantage to appear in works like "Howard Manor" or "The King's Speech" or "The Artist"; but This is like a mass-produced product. Although each actor has a different level and method of comprehension of acting teaching, on the whole it still lacks a little spirituality - this is the so-called talent difference.
Many people who become acting teachers may not necessarily be excellent actors or even have their own masterpieces, but they can become competent teachers because they have a very deep understanding of the basic skills, skills and methods of acting. understanding, but lacks a little spirituality.
Therefore, Jie was quite surprised by Hugo's words, because Hugo's performance on the big screen did not seem to be the traditional way of the academic school. raised his own questions.
Hugo smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, I just learned some basic acting skills. More acting skills are trained on the streets."
"Street? This is good news for actors who can't afford the high fees for acting academies." Jie's simple words made everyone chuckle.
Hugo also has no intention of hiding things, because this is not a skill at all, "It's actually very simple, just imagine yourself as a special character, which can be conceived and set by yourself, or it can be one that you have watched in a movie. As long as it’s not yourself, you’re fine. Then sell yourself according to this role.” Hugo glanced at Jie and said with a smile, “It sounds like a scam, but in fact it’s mainly for the sake of Dating a girl proves that the character is attractive enough and real enough."
This immediately made the audience boo up and down, and Jie sat beside him with wide eyes and said, "I think that would be difficult for you." This suddenly made everyone burst into laughter.
Hugo also didn't retort, "If you can play a character, it's much easier to convince the girl that the character is attractive enough and attractive enough."
"What role will you play?" Jie asked curiously, while talking, Jie winked and grimaced, then raised his left hand to pretend to be a disabled person, which made Hugo laugh. "I mean, you're so handsome and so funny, you don't need to be a yogi bear or something." The scene was full of laughter again, and Hugo laughed even more, "I mean, what are you going to play? What about the character? Even more attractive than yourself."
"The point is not to be more attractive than myself, but to prove that the role is successful," Hugo replied with a smile, "I found that if you pretend to be someone from a foreign land - especially England, such as Say a shipbuilder from Glasgow who has just arrived in the country and you tend to get more attention and sympathy than anyone else."
"Oh, I see." Jie drew Hugo's attention, "others will think you're unfamiliar."
"That's one part of it," Hugo nodded, "but there's also an exotic appeal, you know, just like the Italian accent always makes women feel sexy, the British accent always works. But the premise is that you have to have a similar accent, otherwise you will look like a fool. Once, I screwed up."
"That time, there were all Glasgow people sitting at the table," Hugo said the first sentence, and Jay was already bursting with laughter. You can imagine the tragic effect of pretending to be a Glasgow accent in front of Glasgow people. . Hugo himself couldn't help laughing, "I may be able to deceive you, but in front of them, I'm like I'm not wearing clothes, so I was exposed as a matter of course."
"Oh, God, that's embarrassing!" Jay couldn't help sighing.
"Yes, that girl almost gave me a slap in the face. Fortunately, I explained to them in time that I was actually practicing my acting skills, but even so, a group of six of them still waved their fists at me." Hugo said calmly. , made the scene laugh again.
"But the question is, what if you're with a girl and you're not from Glasgow at all?" Jay asked curiously.
Hugo shrugged and said lightly, "Practicing acting often works. If it doesn't, I think I'll just have to accept the consequences of not being mature enough."
Jay also laughed, then asked, "So do you always play the same role? Glasgow's crew?"
"No, different roles, this is the true meaning of practicing acting. This is actually like a game. The plot of the movie is brought to life. The only difference is that there is no script." Hugo vividly explained that the audience sighed. "However, no matter what happens on set, you have to stick to your role unless someone punches you."
"Unless someone gave you a fist," Jay repeated, but with a bit of teasing that made everyone laugh, "So, what's the worst role you've ever played?"
"I once played an armless man on a bus," Hugo replied after thinking hard.
Jie repeated this sentence in astonishment, and the audience burst into laughter, "But, how are you going to pretend? I know it's not a problem to take a bus, but I'm missing an arm?"
"You first have to have a very thick coat, and then hide your arms under the clothes," Hugo sat up straight, matched his body language, and described it vividly, "Add some details, sweating, pale face , coughing, weakness...etc. I also played with a subtle effect of shifting the center of gravity, but that didn't seem to work at all on the bus."
Looking at Hugo's helpless expression, he laughed again at the scene, "But after I got on the bus, no one gave me my seat."
"That...that's too bad," Jay stammered.
Hugo looked at Jie seriously, "Are you referring to the situation where no one offered my seat to me, or my acting skills?" This sentence suddenly made the whole scene burst into laughter again.
Jie spread his hands helplessly, "I don't know, you should come and tell me."
Hugo pursed his lips, as if after serious thinking, "I think it should be both." Such an honest answer won the audience's applause, and... laughter.
"Yeah, but the problem is..." Jie quickly continued, "If a girl does give you her seat, or even takes the initiative to talk to you, and then you both appear on the same bed, she finds out that you are actually With that arm," the audience looked at Jie's vivid expression, and collectively clapped their hands and laughed, even Hugo himself laughed when he imagined the scene, "Well, then you..."
"Maybe I'll say, look, I'm a magician." Hugo also cooperated with his actions and "changed" his left hand. This cold joke immediately made all the audience laugh, and Hugo himself Seemingly embarrassed, he waved his hands again and again, "No, no, this is just a training for acting, even if a girl expresses her goodwill to me, I will explain the whole process to her after the performance. When dating a girl, It's not a good habit to always appear as a character."
"Yes, many married couples have been thinking about this." Jie's remarks seemed to be satirizing that many married couples lived with masks, which made the audience applaud again.
After Jie finished speaking, he realized that the show time was about to run out, and every talk show cooperation between him and Hugo always flew so fast, so he could only change the topic abruptly, " I think Hugo's arrival today has brought you countless joys, and I hope our next meeting won't be too far away, thank you Hugo for coming today."
