081 Self-interpretation

Purely from the role of the explanation, 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, but in terms of play space, Colonel Jessup has more leeway.

Daniel has a lawyer father whose fame overshadows a qiē, and the reason why Daniel entered the army and became a lawyer can actually see his father's shadow, and Daniel has never dared to go to court, also because it is difficult for him to show his excellence under the pressure of his father.

The pressure of "tiger father without dog" made Daniel a little cynical, so after he became a lawyer, he became more adept at negotiating, using the resources at his disposal to close deals so that his clients could get the most out of it. In fact, such a lawyer can be called excellent, and it is true that he is the lawyer who solves the most cases in the division.

But such a lawyer is just a negotiator with a lotus tongue, the law is his means, and what he really pursues is interests; Rather than a defender of the law in the true sense of the word, fighting crime. Daniel's father was a real lawyer, he offended countless people for justice, and he even ran around because the local school was against a black girl going to a white school, such a father is a mountain above Daniel's head. In the depths of Daniel's heart, there is actually a dream of being a lawyer, but he does not dare to realize it, because he is afraid that under his father's reputation, his every move will become pale and powerless.

In this case, Daniel got the case of Dawson and Dhoni. This case was so special that it sparked Daniel's remaining dream of being a lawyer.

Dawson and Dhoni are two law-abiding soldiers, but they are accused of killing another soldier, San Diego, who has a motive to kill because Santiago has overstepped Dawson's superiors. However, after investigation, Daniel found out that in fact, Dawson and Dhoni were only enforcing the "red law" - a form of corporal punishment that could be used privately by fellow soldiers after obtaining the permission of the officer. And the order of this red law actually came from Colonel Jessup, and Dawson and Doni were just soldiers who carried out the order and completed the mission, and Santiago's death was an accident.

But apparently, Colonel Jessup did not admit his mistake, and he did not think that he was wrong, on the contrary, he also managed to prevent the investigation and put all the blame on Dawson and Doni in an attempt to make them scapegoats.

Little by little, Daniel's desire for justice was awakened, and in the face of Colonel Jessup's strength and cunning, he fought until the last moment, grasping the only glimmer of hope and forcing Colonel Jessup to confess his guilt.

This is the basic story of "Yihai Xiongfeng", that is, the whole setting of the character of Daniel. In fact, it can be seen from the main line that Daniel's inner activities are just entangled in his father's reputation, but there are very few tangled pictures in the story that provide Daniel to express Xiàn, so what really tests Daniel is not the character's inner excavation, but Daniel's energy that bursts out when he is facing a difficult situation, and in the case of insufficient evidence, he relies 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 make the most of his role as a lawyer, and most importantly, in Hugo's way.

When Hugo was reading the script, his mind was constantly thinking. This is Hugo's biggest insight after the filming of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", which comes from Al's advice, "Don't figure out the performance, figure out the role", only when you really understand the essence of the role and grasp the essence of the role, can the actor be able to present it accurately and in place.

Hugo had reached this level during the filming of "Smell a Woman", and was truly fully integrated into the role of Charlie, but it was only once, and there was no such feeling after that. This time he shot "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea", and Hugo hoped that he would be able to enter this state again and continue to do so.

What is the most important thing for a lawyer? Agile response, clear thinking, accurate speech, precise grasp, strong momentum...... These are all but none of them. But one thing is for sure, a lawyer must understand what he is doing and must know what he is going to say, otherwise he will only think like a fool when he stands in court.

The courtroom is the lawyer's stage, and standing on this stage, the lawyer uses his eloquence to perform 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 did Daniel say this, and what effect did he hope to achieve after saying this? The second is the interaction with the actors, the relationship between the lawyer and the witness is the relationship of guidance and control, and the lines are the bridge, presenting the truth of the matter in the way the lawyer envisions.

When you think about it this way, things become clear. Why did Rob choose himself? The audition that night was certainly the deciding factor.

Hugo is in the confrontation with Brad, calm but not losing momentum, sharp but not out of control, Hugo's train of thought turns quickly, he can always 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 character of Daniel is cynical with a sense of justice, and the cynical part is naturally more suitable for Brad, and Hugo can only be said to be sidelined; In fact, Hugo's sense of justice is not very sufficient, and the awe-inspiring righteousness between his eyebrows is still Tom's best.

But why did Rob choose Hugo in the end? Just because Hugo was able to concentrate the most important factors of the role of a lawyer, perhaps in terms of appearance and temperament, Hugo was not the most suitable, but his understanding of the role was the most thorough. So Rob chose Hugo because he believed that Hugo's interpretation of this role could be wonderful even if it was not a true performance.

Choosing Hugo, giving up Tom, and giving up Brad is a huge gamble, and the stakes are the whole movie of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", and Rob chose this big 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 so simple, because Hugo wants to interpret a completely different life.

However, Hugo had not completely cleared his mind, half an hour passed, and the entire crew returned to the conference room every second.

Jack sat down across from Hugo again, his eyes lit up when he saw the dense lines and fonts on Hugo's script, and although it was only thirty minutes, Hugo's workload was obviously beyond expectations. Jack could see that Hugo had made detailed notes in the script, marking the main points of his lines and simply jotting down his thoughts, which was very helpful for the performance.

Hugo's seriousness and rigor surprised Jack, but it was also expected. Jack had heard of Beau Goodman's praise for Hugo before, and later communicated with Al, and determined that Hugo was a talented and hard-working actor, so he took the initiative to recommend Hugo to the crew of "Yihai Xiongfeng".

In Jack's opinion, if Hugo's performance is not good, he will be 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 - whether excellent or not, the most basic work ethic is a must, if the actor has no one in his eyes, even the most basic punctuality can not be done, then even if the acting skills are excellent, he cannot be called a good actor. To become a good actor, you must first be a qualified person, and this order cannot be changed.

The anger just now certainly meant to give Hugo a little buffer time, and Jack also wanted to give Hugo a wake-up call to see if he could still be saved. If the results still disappoint him, it is estimated that Jack will have to settle accounts with Beau and Al tonight.

But now it seems that at least Hugo is not a casual actor, and he is willing to diligently study the script, which is a good start. This eased Jack's dissatisfaction a little.

"Hey, Hugo, remember the coat you wore the last time you auditioned?" Rob chatted with Hugo with a smile on his face before everyone was seated.

Hugo was stunned, "Of course, of course, it's the navy blue baseball jacket," this jacket was borrowed from Alex, so naturally he won't forget it, "The sleeves are leather, right?" ”

Rob nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it." I think that dress fits the character of Daniel very well, if you can, can you bring the crew and wear it during the shoot? ”

Hugo immediately remembered that Daniel was a baseball lover in the movie, and the topic of baseball came up many times, "That coat belongs to my roommate, and I have to ask for his permission." I'll ask him when I get back. "Yugo is honest, but he thinks it shouldn't be a big problem, Alex is a generous person, otherwise he wouldn't have lent Hugo a coat that day." But, Rob, did you choose me that day, because of that coat? ”

Rob smiled and didn't speak, just glanced at Hugo meaningfully, and then said in a loud voice facing the conference room, "The script exercise is ready to begin." ”

Hugo noticed Jack's inquiring gaze, and he knew that Jack must want to see his watch, which caused the pressure on Hugo's shoulders to increase suddenly. He smiled at Jack, then lowered his head and focused on the script, took a deep breath, and secretly said to himself, "Hugo, nervousness doesn't help, relax!" You're ready, you're ready! ”
