Superstar

Hugo’s standing applause drove the live performances to applaud. Al looked back and saw the excitement on Hugo’s face. He couldn’t help but smiled and waved his hand, pretending to be serious. "Shut up." This reprimand immediately made Hugo stiff in place, and then realized that the scene was not finished yet, Hugo quickly closed his mouth firmly.

　　 When the on-site staff saw Hugo’s childish side, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter, which made the atmosphere relaxed.

The tango scene is not easy to shoot. Martin wants to show the essence of this dance from different angles, so Al and Gabriel have to repeat the dance again and again, and the performance of the two people must always be maintained. The same frequency, otherwise it will not be on the stage, this kind of difficulty is far beyond imagination, even so, Al still persisted, reflecting the true standard of an excellent actor.

　　 It was dark when the tango scene was filmed, but today's scene is not over yet, there will be two final scenes. But Al and Gabriel were tired all afternoon, so Martin let them rest for a quarter of an hour before continuing to shoot.

Al returned to his seat, lit a cigarette, then looked back at Hugo, cast an inquiring look, Hugo shook his head, "I don't smoke, and I'm allergic." Hugo actually doesn't know whether this body is in the end. Allergies. Anyway, he was allergic to cigarettes. To be precise, he was allergic to nicotine. He tried it once and only took a sip, but he vomited dimly, so he was completely insulated from smoking. After crossing over, Hugo did not intend to try, because he was used to it.

　　Al looked at Hugo and shook his head again and again, "I missed a great thing in life." A sigh made Hugo laugh, which is what the former Glory To Death partners said.

　　 During the period of playing underground bands, most of the life's sorrows and hardships require cigarettes and alcohol to numb myself, and may even need to use drugs. This is how the first guitarist Zhang Xiaoye, who was glorious to death, fell into poison. The world of products, in the end, you have to close your eyes forever.

　　 "You keep looking at me like this, do you have any questions you want to ask?" Al took a cigarette and asked casually. Although it was an interrogative sentence, the firmness in his tone did not waver.

　　 Hugo scratched his head shyly, "Am I that obvious?"

　　 "I almost thought you were watching Gabriel, what did you say?" Al's words suddenly made the staff passing by all burst into laughter, Hugo can only look embarrassed.

But Hugo didn’t bother. It was a good learning opportunity to play a rivalry with Al. Hugo would not miss this opportunity, "I’m just saying you, do you have any tricks in acting? Look, your performance in the scene just now. It's really wonderful. How did you grasp the role of lieutenant colonel? How did you use such delicate eyes and expressions to show the inner complexity? I watched it for a long time, but I still didn't figure it out."

　　 In the past, watching movies could only look at one shape at most, but after coming to the scene, the impact of acting was lifelike, causing endless sparks to burst into Hugo's brain, and the questions were endless in his mind.

Al glanced at Hugo in the smoke, raised his right hand holding the cigarette, and used the index finger and **** holding the cigarette to make a "two" gesture, "Two points. First, there is no trick to acting, even if Yes, I also summarized it myself. What is suitable for me may not be suitable for you. For example, Dustin and Robert must have different understanding of acting skills. You don't need to ask so much."

Hugo knows this. Everyone’s acting style is different, some are bold and unrestrained, such as Kate Winslet (Kate. Winslet); some are restrained and delicate, such as Colin-Firth (Colin. Firth). ); there are no traces, such as Dustin Hoffman; there are also natural, such as Meryl Streep (Meryl. Streep), and so on.

　　 Of course, this so-called difference is not absolute. Maybe every actor has some interoperability in the process of trying to figure out his acting skills, but no matter what, it must be digested into personal things in the end before they can be presented through performance and form their own style. Otherwise, it is just a permanent imitator. Perhaps performances start from imitation, but the ultimate breakthrough is the formation of self-style.

　　 "Besides, how many years I have been acting, how can it be possible without a little accumulation." Al sneered contemptuously, and Hugo couldn't help but laugh twice. Al Pacino, 62 years old this year, has 33 years of experience as an actor, so he cannot be underestimated.

"Second, don't try to figure out the acting skills, try to figure out the role." Al said straightforwardly. Hugo looked at Al curiously, but he didn't intend to explain further. "I'm not a qualified acting artist. Teacher, even if you ask a question, I can't answer it." After finishing speaking, Al continued to vomit the clouds and mist in a leisurely manner.

　　 Hugo was stunned, then laughed, and stopped asking questions.

Regarding the first point Al said, Hugo can easily understand it. This is also a little bit of caution that he has learned after visualizing and imitating acting in these years, but he does not have too many acting opportunities, so he has not been able to practice it. , Always stay at the level of an excellent imitator. However, even if he is only an imitator, Hugo’s talent has been recognized in two auditions. I believe that as long as Hugo is given enough time and opportunities, his exploration on the road of acting will never stop here. .

　　 But for the second point, Hugo doesn't quite understand what is meant by not trying to figure out acting, but trying to figure out the role? Aren't these two things integrated and inseparable? Hugo knows Al’s meaning is probably to ask him to study the role carefully. In fact, he did the same and persisted, but to show the essence of the role, acting is a necessary bridge. There is no outstanding acting, even if it’s right. No matter how deep the understanding of the character is, there is no way to show it, right? If you look at acting separately from the role, what's the matter?

　　 Hugo began to think about Al’s previous performances and his own performances, repeating those scenes in his head, trying to figure out what Al’s just said. Being too focused on his own thinking, Hugo not only did not notice the commotion around the crew, but also did not notice Al's departure.

"Hugo, Hugo-Lancaster!" The call from the side interrupted Hugo's thinking. Hugo's first reaction was that Martin was going to shoot again, so he immediately said, "I'm ready That's it!" But when I looked back, it wasn't the story line or the scene notes, but a strange face.

Hugo originally thought it was an unfamiliar staff member, but the retro camera on the other's chest made Hugo realize that something was wrong. Sure enough, the other party immediately said, "Good evening, I'm the reporter Nicholas of the Los Angeles Times- McLennan."

　　 "Oh, that disgusting reporter!" Hugo blurted out in the first reaction, and the smile on Nicholas's face suddenly stiffened, which made both of them pause. This is the reporter who complained to Hugo several times in the Los Angeles Times, and obviously he is not optimistic about the prospects of Hugo in the movie "Scent of a Woman".

　　 At this time, Martin and Joseph came over together. During the filming, Joseph stayed with the other staff. Hugo did not see him all day today. Martin said three steps away, "Hugo, this is an interview arranged by the crew today. Please cooperate."

　　 Joseph standing next to him also nodded, affirming this.

Hugo guessed that this should be one of the preliminary publicity of the crew. Many films have been publicized before the project was established. Some news or crew photos have been released one after another. During the filming of the work, some public interviews will also be arranged to keep the audience on track. A sense of anticipation for the movie. In fact, this "scent of smelling women" is not done frequently, because the producer Universal Pictures has not planned that the film can make a difference at the box office, but routine publicity is still needed. Today is since Hugo entered the crew. For the first time.

　　 But, why is it the "Los Angeles Times", UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, this is New York, and the news media in New York have been abandoned? You know New York is the media capital of the world! Also, why is Nicholas McLennan? Isn't this deliberately creating trouble for Hugo!

　　 "What about the shooting?" Hugo asked subconsciously.

　　 Martin laughed, "Don't worry, the rest time is still enough." After speaking, Martin shook hands with Nicholas, expressed his friendliness, and then turned and left.

　　 Joseph glanced at Hugo and asked with his eyes, "Do you need me to be there?"

　　 Although the tacit understanding between Hugo and Joseph is still not enough, it can probably be understood. The agent's supervision of the interview process is often a protection for the artist. But he still shook his head. Anyway, the time he should face it will come sooner or later, and it is impossible for him to pin his hopes on Joseph all the time.

　　 Joseph nodded and pointed to a location not far away, indicating that he was always there if needed, and then turned and left.

"So, then only you and me are left." Nicholas smiled. "Although I have been writing news about you for several months, today is our first meeting. I am in a great mood. Happy, the charm of your real person makes me amazed."

Faced with Nicholas’ compliment, Hugo pursed his mouth, nodding his head with a faint smile, and said, “Your words in the newspaper are not as friendly as your smile today, so I think we The previous "meeting" shouldn't be so pleasant."

　　 Interview, this is Hugo’s first interview in the true sense, but the subject is actually Nicholas, is this counted as Yuanjialuzhai?
