Hugo encountered a setback, and it was a huge chasm, but he did not intend to raise his hands to surrender, on the contrary, he also burned a strong fighting spirit, he was eager to make a breakthrough and make a greater breakthrough in acting, Hugo hopes to become the kind of actor who performs with his soul and life, and the hearty catharsis makes people so intoxicated. This is also an important reason why he unswervingly chose "vulgar".

Vincent is an ordinary person, an ordinary person with no characteristics, but this statement is also incorrect, because any ordinary person in the world also has his own personality, including "no personality" is also a kind of personality, and it is also difficult to present an ordinary person who does nothing. What's more, when an ordinary character appears in a movie, as long as he is related to the plot drive, then he has his own personality, even if it is in "Transformers", "Fast and Furious (FAST). furious: "In works that are not based on characters, the characters also have their own personalities.

Taking "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer" as an example, this movie can be called a collision of the acting skills of Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep, so is Ted Kramer played by Dustin really an ordinary person without any characteristics? Apparently not.

Ted is an ordinary man, he is not taciturn, hiding his love for his son under a cold exterior; It's not that he is full of love, he has to be friends with his son on an equal footing, as a father, Ted is just busy with work and his son, taking care of one and the other, and as a result, he doesn't take care of either. In front of his son, he did not pretend to be deeply patient, nor was he bored by trivialities, but he treated his son gently every day, and found a job for his son to endure humiliation in one day, which is the warmest and simplest father-son relationship.

Ted, a slightly cowardly but gentle character, under Dustin's interpretation, there is no outburst, and there is no special focus, but he impeccablely presents Ted's attachment to the family warmly and firmly, a little more is too much and a little less enough, Dustin's grasp of the role has found a delicate balance in film and life, beyond the performance, beyond the so-called soul possession, in addition to the interest and unfinished, captured the most perfect interpretation of the "degree" of acting.

Dustin's interpretation of this role completely interprets that "the best acting skills are no acting skills", in other words, he combines the role with himself, making it impossible to distinguish between them, which is more worthy of appreciation than his performance in "Rain Man", which can be called the pinnacle of acting.

Dustin demonstrated a typical example of "how to play an ordinary person well", and his grasp of the "degree" of acting reached its peak in the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer". If you take this movie out alone and try to analyze Dustin's acting skills, people will quickly find out: there is nothing to analyze.

Although Vincent's character is more than a little less deep than Ted Kramer's, Hugo hopes to be able to touch the state of Dusting's role when he first played Kramer in Vincent's performance, even if it is only the tip of the iceberg.

So, what kind of personality should Vincent's character have? Or rather, how his ordinariness is caused, and what details are hidden under it.

First of all, Why did Vincent become an underworld? Obviously, this is not mentioned in Quentin's story, or even a clue at all, but Hugo thinks that maybe Vincent was weak as a child, bullied by others, and he was unable to participate in any sports or fit into the school community - it could even be said that he dropped out of school before finishing fifth grade.

Living on the streets makes Vincent's personality more impulsive, he uses the cleverness he has learned to survive under the oppression to find a way to survive on the streets, and when he wins the approval of the community gang boss Marsha, he gives all his loyalty and is willing to do anything for Marsha, which also makes Marsha willing to trust Vincent - there is no one more reliable than a little brother who is not smart enough but loyal enough. This allowed Vincent to grow into one of Marsha's most trusted thugs.

And what about Jules? And how did Vincent and Jules meet?

Is it just because Masha brought them together? Obviously it shouldn't be. Maybe Vincent and Jules met in a fight, no, this is not in line with the character trend of the plot characters, it should be that Vincent, who is uneducated, thinks Jules is very cultured and admires, Jules can recite the "Bible", although this makes Vincent feel a little annoying, but he thinks it's still a bit cool, and Jules is also very knowledgeable and knows a lot about women, which makes Vincent even more admired.

Of course, Vincent would not have come out obviously, and even he would not admit that he admired Jules, because he considered the two of them to be partners and equals. But when we talk, the psychological reaction will inevitably come out.

In this way, Vincent's personality can be sketched, he is a little clever, but still a little rough, and does not pay much attention to the details; He has some scheming and courage, but he can't get on the stage, and he will become tendoned when he encounters things; In order to hide his ignorance, he is always reluctant to express his inner feelings, for example, even if he admires Jules very much, he will not express it blatantly, of course, this also makes him very sensitive to "ignorance", he hates others to challenge his authority, he does not want to relive the time when he was a child; At the same time, he likes to show off, which is also a way to hide his ignorance, but he is smart enough not to deliberately show off, but to show off vaguely, for example, his oily back, which is like this, but he smeared too much oil, and the "degree" was not grasped well and made him fall off the grade; Another example is that he likes to wear suits, but he is full of foul language, and this is the difference between him and a real gentleman......

If you think about it, Vincent is not without any personality, and Quentin also left some space in the script for Hugo to play.

To sum up simply, Vincent's personality is a little pretentious, a little sullen, and a little hypocritical, on the surface it seems that he has no special highlights, but the details can outline his image.

Thinking of this, Hugo's mind suddenly lit up, why Dustin in "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer" can make people feel his profound acting skills, the focus is on the details. Since ordinary people don't have a point of strength, unlike Amon Goss, who has an explosive point of strength, their details are more and more important, such as clothes, shirts or T-shirts, two-piece suits or sweater shirts; For example, hairstyles, long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair, well-groomed or uncared for; For example, movements, walking fast or slow, straight waist or hunchback; For example, the accent of the speech, whether it is East Coast or West Coast, whether it is a pure American voice or a copycat version that deliberately imitates the English accent...... These details are gradually formed by a character in the process of growing up, which is the most important part of acting.

In fact, Hugo had vaguely touched this point before this, for example, when he starred in "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Schindler's List", Hugo paid attention to the details, but in the process of those performances, Hugo paid more attention to the brewing and explosion of Guò's inner emotions, and the whole love was burst out, and the details were integrated into the performance to complete in one go.

But now, Hugo has no flashpoint, so he has to sketch out Vincent's whole person in his mind, for example, in the scene of the start-up, Vincent is showing off his experience of going to the Netherlands to Jules, so what is his mentality?

First, Vincent admires Jules, so when he experiences something that Jules has not experienced, this Sente is proud, and at the same time hopes to occasionally get Jules's recognition and prove that he is very good, which makes Vincent continue to be big in the Netherlands. The details of the hemp bar's explanation were echoed.

Second, Vincent wants to hide that he has no culture, going to the Netherlands is a big deal for him, but he wants to bluff, showing that he doesn't care at all, so he should try to keep his voice down, pretending not to care, but inadvertently his eyes or the corners of his mouth or tone will reveal his feelings.

Thirdly, this is perhaps the most "literate" thing Vincent has ever experienced in his life, so he will unconsciously bring a proud tone when he expounds it, but in his dialogue, he will think that the "beer in a glass" thing is very magical, which is a loophole that he is not aware of, and he still talks triumphantly, let alone about McDonald's. Pretending to be forced to reveal the bottom but not knowing it, this is Vincent's biggest characteristic.

In this way, in fact, Hugo doesn't need to think about comedy or black humor at all, and the so-called relaxation and convergence are not needed, what he needs to do is to present such a "real" Vincent, and the jokes will come out naturally.

Imagine a man triumphantly showing you that he has eaten a Dutch McDonald's, and he thinks it's a very cultural thing. This incident itself is a joke, and this person still doesn't know it, which is also a joke. That's the essence of black humor.

Therefore, Hugo's performance just now went in the wrong direction from the root, he had to consider not how the comedy should be played, but what the character should be in the story, and then the humor created by the script was naturally presented.

All these ideas just now are Hugo's own thoughts, and they are also the soul that Hugo himself gave to the character of Vincent, which is obviously Hugo's version of Vincent, so what will be the effect of presenting it?

Hugo doesn't know how Dustin figured out his acting skills when he played the "Kramers", but he has now touched a new direction of acting, he wants to try it, he wants to make a breakthrough, so, in this way, "vulgar" is not like professional film critics say, it may limit Hugo's acting skills, on the contrary, it also provides Hugo with a new perspective to think about acting.

As for the results, it depends on the next performance.

"I'm alright, let's start shooting in two minutes." Hugo stood up directly, patted his pants, stood in place to adjust his breathing, and began to relax his muscles: he was sure that he was ready!
