010 Premonition of failure
Hugo must admit that Elizabeth's teasing is too obvious, and if the other party is a young girl, it is a beautiful thing, but it is not so beautiful if she is a housewife who can be her own mother. Hugo watched Elizabeth's peacock blue eyeshadow flicker in his own realization, and only felt a little powerless.
Elizabeth's calloused fingertips slid over Hugo's abdominal muscles, and this one had such a distinct tone. Hugo was startled by the emotional action, and he only felt a shallow goosebump floating in his abdomen. This made Hugo a little flustered, he had never encountered such a situation, naturally he didn't know how to deal with it, in an emergency, Hugo flashed this solution in his mind, and finally he decided to advance and retreat.
Hugo raised his right hand, held Elizabeth's palm that was gently rubbing his abdominal muscles, took it away from his body slightly, and then buckled Elizabeth's palm with his fingernails with the tips of his index finger, but his face still had that warm smile, and an electric current made Elizabeth's muscles stiffen, and then withdrew his palm.
This time it was Elizabeth's turn to be taken aback, but her face did not show it, but threw a look at Hugo, if it was a beautiful woman to do this expression must be amorous, but unfortunately Elizabeth was not suitable, especially the peacock blue eyeshadow made Hugo "Aunt Susan" Susan Boyle (Susan) in his head. boyle) is constantly flickering. This makes the scene look a lot more awkward.
Elizabeth whispered to Hugo, "Sure enough, you are teasing me?" ”
Familiar with the road? What does this mean? Hugo didn't think deeply, but chuckled, and the clear, sunny smile on the corner of his mouth completely bloomed, making Elizabeth's already excited heartbeat even more irregular, "I thought this was part of the audition." ”
Elizabeth was stunned by Hugo's frank words, and then she saw Hugo look at Jon, who had been sitting next to him, "Yes, Jon?" ”
Jon heard Hugo's call, and couldn't help coughing lightly in embarrassment, as a representative of the actors' union, he witnessed the whole process just now, although everything happened in the dark just now, and it was impossible to see anything on the surface, but Jon has been rolling in this industry for so long, and naturally knows that this is actually the rule of the surface, so he has no need to stop it. But rules are rules, and being so clearly punctured by Hugo, Jon's position is indeed delicate.
Jon quickly retracted his gaze, landed on Elizabeth's body, and said solemnly, "Can the audition begin?" ”
Elizabeth had already reacted at this time, looked at Hugo deeply, and scanned up and down his strong body, and the red Guoguo's eyes made Hugo feel very uncomfortable. This time, Elizabeth quickly withdrew her gaze, and the corners of her mouth drew an arc, "Next, you try to recite this line." ”
Hugo knew that the main event was about to begin, so he sorted out the thoughts in his head, looked at the script handed over by Elizabeth, took the script with his right hand and continued to put it on the table, and then he lowered his head under the stunned gaze of Jon and Elizabeth, and buttoned his shirt one by one.
Looking at Hugo's regular movements, Jon obviously held back his laughter very hard, he didn't think Hugo was a person with such a sense of humor before, especially with Elizabeth's bright rules just now, now Hugo's action of buttoning his shirt is even more joyful, but thinking of the woman's command, Jon's smile immediately retracted a lot. And Elizabeth still had a stunned look in her eyes that could not be concealed - or maybe she didn't want to hide it at all, but just looked at Hugo with a touch of playfulness.
In fact, for Hugo, open shirts. Chest. Dew. Reading the lines on the ground, this makes him feel like he is in a play, either take off his clothes, or button up, it is more appropriate to choose one of them, Hugo just now watched the scene instructed by Elizabeth, thought about the content, and finally decided that it was more appropriate to button the buttons.
After arranging his shirt, Hugo picked up the script again, first looking up and down the script with his eyes. Hugo is not an actor from a professional class, he is completely self-taught because of interest, he doesn't know what acting methods are, he just simply follows the classic roles in classic movies, and uses imitation methods to figure out acting skills, "learning" acting for five years and not knowing whether he has learned a famous name, anyway, there is no need for acting skills in tricks and supporting roles.
Today's first official audition, Hugo didn't know how he should deal with it, and finally decided to imitate his predecessors. Hugo hasn't seen "River Love", but he has seen "The Burning Years", Brad's roles in these two works are relatively similar, and Hugo is going to imitate Brad's performance method in "The Burning Years" today. Using Brad's performance is like playing against the real Brad Pitt, which is also the root of Hugo's lack of confidence today. But no matter what, you always have to try it before you know, besides, Hugo is not completely copied, even if it is the same role and the same performance method, the effect presented by different actors will not be the same.
Although he did not come from a professional background, Hugo also knew the importance of knowing the lines, because he found that many actors have a special rhythm and intonation when playing a role, to be precise, each person's characteristics are different when they speak, and capturing the characteristics of the character's speech is twice the result with half the effort.
After reading the lines in detail, Hugo adjusted his breathing before he spoke, "Still, Paul and I have received as much fishing training as theology. Hugo's voice was already very mellow, warm and mellow with a little melancholy, as if it was as intoxicating as velvet, and at this time Hugo deliberately slowed down his speech and softened it, so that this line had a deep rhythm in his heart.
"As a Presbyterian, my father believed that human nature is inherently evil and that only by acting according to God's will can we regain our strength and beauty." This line is a complete sentence, composed of three clauses, Hugo slowed down his breath, which makes the whole sentence not slow or urgent, but more wise people's understanding, which makes the words meaningful, "For him, salmon, like eternal salvation, is the grace of God, and this grace comes from art, and art is not easy to come by." ”
Hugo is actually a musician, so he has a special rhythm for the rhythm when reading lines, and presents a line full of wisdom in the form of a sonnet, and the effect is unexpectedly wonderful. It can be said that Hugo has his own understanding of the lines, and he tries his best to combine the characters with the lines. If this line is performed with the shirt open, then it will definitely be very funny, and Hugo took into account the content of the line, so he buttoned up the shirt, and now it seems that it is obviously a wise choice.
When the line was finished, Hugo still had a feeling that he was still unfinished, this line left him too little room to play, he had just entered the state, and the line was already over. But even so, Hugo was very satisfied, he enjoyed the process of the performance very much, before today, Hugo had the most lines in the performance was such a weight, but today he got such a heavy performance opportunity in the audition, which is really a beautiful thing.
After the line performance was over, Hugo looked at Elizabeth with anticipation, he was still very satisfied with his performance just now, but he didn't know what kind of expression it would be in the eyes of others, in addition to the lines, but also his own expressions, eyes, movements, what kind of state the whole performance is combined, this must be left to Elizabeth to judge.
Although Jon, who was sitting next to him, was only the representative agent of the Screen Actors Guild, he had seen countless audition occasions, Hugo's audition performance was absolutely amazing, even if it was still a little rough, but Hugo's grasp of the rhythm of the lines and the control of the character's emotions can clearly see his talent, "Hudson's Falcon", "Fatal Moment", and "Detective" The three bad films did not completely exhaust his talent.
You must know that before these three works, Hugo relied on his acting talent to become famous, not to mention the excellent performance in the "Death Poets Society" that made him famous in one fell swoop, but after that, Hugo's choice of works appeared very strict, which led to the successive "favor" of the Golden Raspberry Award.
In fact, this is a good thing, after polishing and precipitation, Hugo can still become an excellent actor, rather than just relying on a vase with skin. However, Jon knew that the decision of the audition was not in his hands, and that what he knew about the situation was not optimistic, Jon couldn't help but look at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's expression seemed very calm, and she didn't have too many special looks, but in fact, she still appreciated Hugo's performance just now. Although Hugo just won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor last night, let alone the feat of being nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award for two years and three times, Elizabeth will not forget Hugo's famous work "Dead Poets Society".
In "Dead Poets Society", Hugo played the role of Neil Perry to the fullest, with demeanor, eyes, body, and lines...... All aspects have reached the height of integration, compared to the male protagonist Robin Williams (Robin. Williams was no slouch, and that year's awards season, Hugo was not nominated for any Best Supporting Actor, much to the displeasure of the entire critics.
The performance just now reminded Elizabeth of Hugo's performance in the "Dead Poets Society", and once again saw Hugo's amazing talent and attracted the attention of countless people. However, it is a pity that many things were predestined before Hugo went to the audition, and Elizabeth had no plans to change it.
"Hugo, do you have any special thoughts on this script?" Elizabeth lived up to Hugo's ardent hopes and had no intention of commenting on his performance, but instead changed the subject.
Hugo didn't know how the Hollywood audition process worked, but Elizabeth didn't say anything about her performance and deliberately changed the subject, which is also obviously not normal. Hugo re-focused on the script in his hands, and the line just now was not actually the line of the second son Paul in "Big River Love", but the line of the eldest son Newman, this kind of thing was not uncommon for Hugo to participate in the supporting role interview before, but it was obviously worth noting in the lead role interview.
Could it be that his audition had an accident or was even doomed to fail before it even began? That's weird, isn't it?
