&"Okay, I know, I'll pay attention......" Hugo took the receiver of the landline phone, with meaning on his face, nodded slightly and said, but when he was about to hang up the phone, a voice came from the receiver again, which made Hugo feel a little helpless, but still listened patiently, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." You should also pay attention to yourself, the temperature change in Los Angeles these days is also a bit strange, don't catch a cold. ”

After saying that, Hugo closed his eyes slightly, nodded his chin slightly, and chuckled and said, "That's it for now, I need to go to rehearsals." But before the earpiece could be removed, he heard another voice, this time from the side, Hugo glanced at Charlize helplessly, and then retracted his attention to the phone, "Postcard?" I'll remember, I'll buy it tomorrow when I go out to eat,? Okay, I got it. Well, I miss you, goodbye. ”

Finally, Hugo hung up the phone, but Charlize's ridicule came directly, and she also pinched her voice and said in a worried and squeamish voice, "Hugo, you must pay attention to your body, don't catch a cold, the weather in Vienna is different from Los Angeles......"

“！” Hugo put his hands on his waist and looked at Charlize with a smile and a smile, which made Charlize smile even brighter.

"You know, she's already repeated those words in Los Angeles, right?" Charlize chuckled and thought it was very funny, especially Hugo's helpless expression that pleased her, "I remember that she held your cheek and whispered to her. Oh God, she usually seems to be a hearty girl, why did she become like this this time when you went out of the house? Is it because you've been separated for the first time since you dated? It's not right, you don't have much time to get together when you're promoting the album......"

"Charlize! She's my girlfriend, and she says these aren't the things they should be? Hugo interrupted Charlize and smiled helplessly, in fact, Hugo also felt Cameron's abnormality this time, it seemed to ...... It seems to be particularly sensitive, but Hugo can't find an exact reason, and guessing is indeed not an easy task. Hugo shrugged, "Just because you won't do it doesn't mean she can't." Maybe like you said, we're across the Atlantic Ocean right now, and she's more worried, that's all. ”

The call was made by Hugo, who had arrived in Vienna yesterday, and after a day of adjustment, he first called Adam to tell him about the situation, and then he made a call to Cameron to tell him that he was safe. As a result, the phone calls were endless, and Charlize was waiting for Hugo to rehearse, and the wait was twenty minutes.

Charlize raised his hands in surrender, "I can't feel the girl's heart, my fault." ”

"Who called you a man?" Hugo's words immediately provoked one of Charlize's slippers, Hugo skillfully dodged it, and then walked to Charlize and sat down, "You don't want to make a call?" ”

"I've called, and I'm more worried about the international phone bill." Charlize's words made Hugo get up directly, they are now living in a hotel, and the expenses are naturally paid by the crew, Charlize's words are pure nonsense.

"Need help?" Hugo began to dig into his pockets as he spoke, and then found two coins in his pockets and handed them over, causing Charlize to grin there, but Hugo looked carefully and took his hand back, "Oops, this is Kennedy and Roosevelt, not Wagner." ”

John F. Kennedy is the head of fifty cents, Franklin D. Roosevelt is the head of ten cents, and Otto Wagner is the head of five hundred shillings.

As a result, Charlize flew another slipper over, and Hugo flashed by again, and said with a smile, "It seems that you have no plans to go out today." ”

Charlize shook her fist viciously, "I can run barefoot!" ”

That fierce appearance made Hugo directly avoid his eyes, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Rehearsal, rehearsal, work is the most important." Charlize glared at Hugo again, and then slowly withdrew his fist.

"Before Sunrise" is a special work because the script limits time to the night after nightfall, which means that the whole story takes place in one night. If you're shooting in a studio, it's easy to set up a backdrop.

The problem was that Hugo and Richard decided to shoot on location, which meant that in order to fit the story, they needed to capture every day after nightfall, and they couldn't work before dark or after dawn. And they also need to take into account the weather, if it rains, they definitely can't shoot; If the difference between moonlight and starlight is too obvious on several nights, you need to be very careful with the lens and lighting when shooting.

Also, when the hero and heroine met, they were on the train in the afternoon, and then chose to get off in Vienna. This means that the process of the sun gradually setting and the night gradually falling will be shown in the movie, in order to ensure authenticity and coherence, Hugo and Charlize must be completed in the shortest possible time, of course, if it can be like real life, all the shots are shot at once, it is the most perfect state.

This means that the rehearsal between shoots has a greater responsibility.

In the past, rehearsals were more about familiarizing the actors with the filming process, familiar with the positioning, camera position, lens and performance methods, etc.; But now the rehearsal is more like a rehearsal for a stage play, where the actors need to know every detail off camera, and when they enter the shoot, it's like a Broadway show, with as little ambiguity as possible.

Of course, this is not real Broadway, they don't have a live audience, and there is still room for error in filming, but they need to fight against the weather, against nature, against time, so they have to put more effort into the rehearsal.

Today is only the first day, and for a long time, shooting will be taken into the evening, and most of the time Hugo and Charlize will have to be rehearsed during the day, and the film will be performed as if it were a real Broadway.

Hugo and Charlize started by reading the script, the so-called reading the script, in fact, is to read the script aloud, the most important thing is to familiarize the actors with the script, familiar with each other's dialogues, and then gradually outline their own performance image. This is the foundation of the fundamentals of acting classes, but it is one of the necessary aspects in practical application. Hugo and Charlize used to practice xi a lot at home, so this is not strange to the two of them.

Although the script was written by Hugo, at this time, standing in the position of an actor, Hugo's perspective became different again. The screenwriter is a spectator, a storyteller, and the actor is a participant, an executor of the story, which may not be 100% accurate, but in the story "Before Sunrise".

Many people have always thought that "before sunrise" is not actually a test of acting skills, but more of a penetration of the director's and screenwriter's perception of life and love, but this is a wrong perception.

"Before Sunrise" is a very strict challenge to acting, and because this movie is based on reality as a whole and shows the true face of love as much as possible, the requirements for actors are more stringent. The movie requires actors to be able to delicately and casually outline the characters, as if the two people are really just discussing the dialogue at random, talking imaginatively, but in fact, they are reciting the lines, and how to make the lines seem like a dialogue in life is not an easy task.

To make matters worse, the content of the dialogue is the soul of the two characters. This is a movie with no conflict and no plot, which means that the characters have no personality. But do the two characters really have no personality? Of course not, the personalities of the two characters come out of their words, and their personalities can be seen in just a few words, and then the sparks burst out quietly, but they can be clearly felt by the audience.

In short, it's a movie that uses acting to interpret real life. It's very likely that it was just a story that happened inadvertently on the streets of Los Angeles last night, without a special plot, without special ups and downs, just an ordinary life.

It's a challenge for Charlize and it's a challenge for Hugo.

After "Schindler's List", Hugo starred in two works, "Vulgar" and "Speed of Life and Death", putting aside the simple and crude character building of "Speed of Life and Death", in "Vulgar", Hugo tried to strip the character out of the script and incorporate more of his own personality and understanding, in fact, this is to make the character closer to life.

Quentin Tarantino's "Vulgar" attempts to reflect the life of a special group in Los Angeles with life-like but dramatic and humorous methods, which is real and credible with the drama of black humor. Hugo challenged Vincent for the role at the time, and you can feel a completely different approach to acting, and this time, Hugo needs to go further on this path.

This is a very difficult thing to perform in life, because if you don't pay attention to it, it will become a colorful performance. The so-called true color performance can't be regarded as a performance at all, it's just yourself, and the performance component is almost negligible; The real life performance should be based on the true self to increase the personality of the character.

In the case of "Before Sunrise", is Jesse really Hugo? Apparently not, and Selena is not Charlize either. Maybe they are the prototypes of the characters, but Hugo has built a complete background and personality for the two characters in the story, which means that these two characters are just characters in the story after all, maybe Jesse and Hugo have a lot of similarities, but they are really two very different people.

Therefore, how Hugo grasps the similarities and differences between himself and Jesse is the biggest test of acting skills. Following "Vulgar", Hugo can further deepen the performance method of exploring his own personality and character integration, which makes Hugo feel a little enthusiastic, a long-lost feeling!.
