Chapter 81 081 Self Interpretation
From the perspective of the role, the role of Daniel is actually not complicated, and it is not even as rich in psychological activities as the role of Colonel Jessup played by Jack. Although Daniel is the protagonist of the movie, in terms of play space, it is still Colonel Jessup. There is more leeway.
Daniel has a lawyer father who is more famous than everything. The reason why Daniel entered the army and became a lawyer can actually be seen from his father. Similarly, Daniel has never dared to go to court because he was under pressure from his father. It's hard to perform well.
The pressure of "a father without a dog" made Daniel a little cynical, so after he became a lawyer, he became better at negotiating, using the resources in his hand to reach a deal, so that his client could get the most benefit. In fact, such a lawyer can be called excellent, and it is true. He is the lawyer who solves the most cases in the division.
But such a lawyer is just a negotiator with a lot of tongue, and the law is his means, and what he really pursues is interests; he is not a legal defender of justice and crime fighting in the true sense. Daniel's father is a real lawyer. He has offended countless people for justice. He even ran around because the local school opposed a black girl to a white school. Such a father is a big mountain above Daniel's head. Deep in Daniel's heart, he actually had a dream of being a lawyer, but he didn't dare to realize it, because he was afraid that under his father's fame, all his actions would become pale and powerless.
Under such circumstances, Daniel got the case for Dawson and Dorney. The case was so special that it inspired Daniel's dream of being a lawyer.
Dawson and Dorney are two law-abiding soldiers, but they are accused of killing another soldier, Santiago, because Santiago has reported Dawson by leaps and bounds, which also gives Dawson a motive for killing. However, after investigation, Daniel found that Dawson and Dhoni were only implementing the "red rules" - a form of corporal punishment that could be performed in private by fellow soldiers if a team member fell behind or violated the rules, with the permission of the officer. The order of this red regulation actually came from Colonel Jessup, and Dawson and Donnie were just soldiers who carried out the order and completed the task. Santiago's death was an accident.
But obviously, Colonel Jessup didn't admit his mistake, and he didn't think he was wrong, on the contrary, he also tried his best to stop the investigation and put all the faults on Dawson and Dorney, trying to make them become scapegoat.
Daniel's inner desire for justice was awakened little by little. In the face of Colonel Jessup's strength and cunning, he fought until the last moment, seized the only glimmer of hope, and forced Colonel Jessup to confess his guilt.
This is the basic story of "Yihai Xiongfeng", that is, all the settings for the role of Daniel. In fact, it can be seen from the main line that Daniel's inner activities are only entangled in his father's reputation, but there are very few pictures for Daniel to express this entanglement in the story, so the real test of Daniel is not the character's inner excavation. It was Daniel's energy that burst out when the French government was facing difficulties. In the absence of evidence, he relied on superb negotiation skills and excellent eloquence to complete his work as a lawyer.
In short, the biggest test of Daniel's role is how to play the role of a lawyer to the fullest, and most importantly, in Hugo's way.
When Hugo was reading the script, his mind was constantly thinking. This is Hugo's greatest insight after the filming of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman". It comes from Al's advice, "Don't try to figure out the performance, figure out the role", only when you truly understand the essence of the role and grasp the essence of the role can the actor be able to Presented accurately.
Hugo got to this level during the filming of "Scent and Knows a Woman", and really fully integrated into the character of Charlie, but only once, and never felt that way again. This time, for the filming of "The Hero of the Sea of Righteousness", Hugo hopes that he can enter this state again and continue.
What is the most important thing for a lawyer? Quick response, clear thinking, accurate speech, precise grasp, strong momentum... these are all, but they are not. But one thing is certain, the lawyer must understand what he is doing and what he is going to say, otherwise he will only think like a fool in court.
The court is the stage for lawyers. Standing on this stage, the lawyer will use his eloquence to start a performance with the opposing lawyer and the person being questioned. Therefore, the lines are the first element. Hugo must understand the meaning of the lines. What is the meaning of the lines at this moment? Why does Daniel say this, and what effect does he hope to achieve after saying this? The second is the interaction with the opposing actors. The relationship between the lawyer and the witness is a relationship of guidance and control, and the lines are the bridge, presenting the truth of the matter in the way the lawyer imagined.
When you think about it, things become clear. Why did Rob choose himself? The audition that night was definitely the deciding factor.
In the confrontation between Hugo and Brad, he was calm but not imposing, sharp but not out of control. Hugo's thoughts turned quickly, he was always able to grasp the loopholes in Brad's language, and then Cut in at the right time, interrupt the accumulation of Brad's momentum, and then use a series of coherent arguments to refute Brad, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing Brad.
The role of Daniel is cynical with a sense of justice. The cynical part is naturally more suitable for Brad, and Hugo can only say that it is close; in fact, Hugo's sense of justice is not very sufficient, and the awe-inspiring expression between his eyebrows Righteousness is still Tom's best.
But why did Rob choose Hugo in the end? Just because Hugo was able to focus on the most important elements of the role of a lawyer, perhaps in terms of appearance and temperament, Hugo is not the most suitable, but his understanding of the role is the most thorough. So Rob chose Hugo, because he believed that Hugo's performance in this role, even if it was not a true performance, could still be wonderful.
Choosing Hugo, abandoning Tom, and abandoning Brad, this is a huge gamble, and the bet is the whole movie of "Righteous Sea Heroes", and Rob chose this gamble.
After thinking about this, Hugo's understanding of the role of Daniel quietly began to deepen, but it seems that it will take some time to accurately grasp the essence of the role. After all, acting is not that simple, because rain It's a completely different life.
However, Hugo hadn't completely cleared his mind, half an hour had passed, and the entire cast returned to the conference room within seconds.
Jack sat down opposite Hugo again. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the dense lines and fonts on Hugo's script, and his eyes lit up. Although it was only 30 minutes, Hugo's workload was obviously beyond the limit. expected. Jack could see that Hugo made detailed notes on the script, marked the key points of the lines, and simply recorded all his thoughts, which was very helpful for the performance.
Hugo's seriousness and rigor surprised Jack, but he was also expected. Jack had heard that Bo Goodman was full of praise for Hugo before, and later had an exchange with Al, and determined that Hugo was a talented and hardworking actor, so he took the initiative to give "Yihai Xiongfeng". "The crew recommended Hugo.
In Jack's view, if Hugo's performance is not good, he is half responsible as the introducer, which will be a fatal blow to the film. Hugo was late this morning, which made Jack very dissatisfied and even disappointed. An actor-no matter whether he is good or not, the most basic professional ethics are necessary. If an actor is arrogant, he cannot even do the most basic punctuality. So, even if his acting skills are excellent, he can't be called a good actor. To become an excellent actor, you must first be a qualified person, and this order cannot be changed.
The anger just now was meant to give Hugo a little bit of time, but Jack also wanted to give Hugo a wake-up call to see if he could still be saved. If the result still disappoints him, it is estimated that Jack will find Bo and Al to settle accounts tonight.
But now it seems that at least Hugo is not a random actor, he is willing to diligently study the script, which is a good start. This relieved Jack's dissatisfaction a little.
"Hey Hugo, remember that coat you wore last time you auditioned?" Rob chatted with Hugo with a smile before everyone sat down.
Hugo was stunned. "Of course, of course, that navy blue baseball jacket." This jacket was borrowed from Alex, and naturally he would not forget, "The sleeves are leather, right?"
Rob nodded again and again, "Yes, that's the one. I think that dress is very suitable for the role of Daniel. If you can, can you bring the crew and wear it during the filming?"
Hugo immediately thought that Daniel was a baseball fan in the movie, and the topic of baseball appeared many times, "That coat belongs to my roommate, and I have to ask him for his approval. I will ask him when I go back." Hugo told the truth, but he felt that the problem should not be big. Alex is a generous person, otherwise he would not lend Hugo a coat that day. "However, Rob, did you choose me that day, is there a reason for that coat?"
Rob smiled and didn't speak. He just gave Hugo a meaningful look, and then faced the conference room and said loudly, "The script practice is ready to start."
Hugo noticed Jack's probing gaze, and he knew that Jack must have wanted to see his performance, which made the pressure on Hugo's shoulders increase sharply. He smiled at Jack, then lowered his head to focus on the script, took a deep breath, and secretly told himself, "Hugo, it's useless to be nervous, relax! You're ready, you Already prepared!"
