Hugo's standing ovation led the extras to applaud one after another, and Al looked back and saw the excitement on Hugo's face, and couldn't help but smile, and waved his hand directly, pretending to be stern and said, "Shut up." This reprimand immediately made Hugo stiffen in place, and then realized that the scene had not yet been filmed, and Hugo quickly closed his mouth firmly.

When the on-site staff saw Hugo's childish side, they couldn't help laughing, which made the atmosphere of the scene 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 maintain the same frequency, otherwise they will not be able to play, this difficulty is far beyond imagination, even so, Al still persevered, reflecting the true level of a good actor.

By the time the tango scene was finished, it was already dark, but today's scene was not over yet, and there were two more scenes to wrap up. But both Al and Gabriel were tired from an afternoon, so Martin told them to rest for a quarter of an hour before continuing to shoot.

Al returned to his seat, lit a cigarette, then glanced back at Hugo, and cast an inquiring look, Hugo shook his head, "I don't smoke, allergies." In fact, Hugo didn't know if this body was allergic, anyway, he used to be allergic to cigarettes, to be precise, he was allergic to nicotine, he tried it once, just took a puff, and the result was vomiting dimly, so he was completely insulated from smoking. After crossing over, Hugo had no intention of trying, because he was used to it.

Al looked at Hugo and shook his head, "I missed a great thing in life." Hugo couldn't help but laugh at an exclamation, as did his former friends in the Band Glory to Death.

During the period of playing underground bands, the bitterness and hardships of life most of the time require cigarettes and alcohol to anesthetize oneself, and may even need to use drugs. can achieve the goal, and Zhang Xiaoye, the first guitarist who was glorious to death, fell into poison in this way. The world of products will always have to close their eyes in the end.

"Do you have any questions for you to keep looking at me like this?" Al took a puff of his cigarette and asked casually, although it was a question, but the firmness in his tone did not waver.

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

"I almost thought you were looking at Gabriel, what do you say?" Al's words immediately made several staff members passing by laugh, and Hugo could only look embarrassed.

But Hugo didn't squirm either, it was a good learning opportunity to play against Al, and Hugo didn't miss this opportunity, "I want to say you, do you have any tricks to acting?" Look, your performance in that scene just now is really wonderful, how did you grasp the role of lieutenant colonel? How do you use such delicate eyes and expressions to show the intricacies of your heart? I watched it for a long time, but I never figured it out. ”

In the past, I could only watch a movie at most one resemblance, but after coming to the scene, the impact of acting came to life, which made endless sparks burst out of Hugo's brain, and questions arose endlessly in his mind.

Al glanced at Hugo in the smoke, raised his right hand holding the cigarette, and made a "two" gesture with the index and middle fingers holding the cigarette, "Two o'clock." First, there is no trick to acting, even if there is, it is summed up by yourself, what suits me may not be suitable for you, for example, me and Dustin and Robert must have different understandings of acting, you don't need to ask so much. ”

Hugo knows this, everyone's acting style is different, some are unrestrained, such as Kate Winslet. wi）； There are restrained and delicate, such as Colin Firth (. firth）； There are also no traces, such as Dustin Hoffman; And then there's the natural ones, like Meryl Streep. streep), blah blah blah.

Of course, this so-called difference is not absolute, and each actor may also have something to communicate with each other in the process of figuring out his acting skills, but no matter what, in the end, he still has to digest something that becomes a personal person, so that he can present it through the performance and form his own style. Otherwise, it's just an imitator forever. Performances may all start with imitation, but the final breakthrough is the formation of one's own style.

"Besides, how many years have I been acting, how can it be possible if I don't have a little accumulation." Al sneered disdainfully, which made Hugo laugh twice. Al Pacino, who is 62 years old this year, has 33 years of experience as an actor, so naturally he cannot be underestimated.

"Second, don't figure out the acting skills, but figure out the role." Al said crisply, Hugo looked at Al with curiosity, but he didn't intend to explain further, "I'm not a qualified acting teacher, even if you ask a question, I can't answer it." With that, Al continued to swallow the clouds and start spitting at ease.

Hugo was stunned, then laughed, and did not continue to ask questions.

Regarding the first point that Al said, Hugo easily understood, which is also a little caution he has come to after observing and imitating acting skills over the years, but he does not have many acting opportunities, so he has not been able to practice, and has always stayed at the level of an excellent imitator. However, even though he is only an imitator at present, Hugo's talent has been recognized in two auditions, and I believe that as long as Hugo is given enough time and enough opportunities, his exploration on the road of acting will definitely not stop here.

But on the second point, Hugo doesn't quite understand, what does it mean not to figure out acting skills, but to figure out the role? Aren't these two things inseparable? Hugo knew that Al probably meant that he wanted him to study the role carefully and carefully, in fact, he did it, and continued to stick to it, but to show the essence of the role, acting is a necessary bridge, without excellent acting skills, even if the understanding of the role is deep, there is no way to show it, right? If you separate the acting skills from the role, what is going on?

Hugo began to think back to Al's previous performance, as well as his own performance, repeating those images in his head, trying to figure out the meaning of Arle's words. Being so focused on his own thinking that Hugo not only did not notice the commotion around the crew, but even Al's departure.

"Hugo, Hugo-Lancaster!" Hugo's thinking was interrupted by a call from the side, and Hugo's first reaction was that Martin was going to shoot again, so he immediately said, "I'm ready!" But when I looked back, it was not a drama or a scene record, but an unfamiliar face.

Hugo originally thought it was a staff member he was not familiar with, but the retro camera on the other party's chest made Hugo realize that something was wrong, and sure enough, the other party immediately said, "Good evening, I'm Nicholas McLaen, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times." ”

"Oh, that disgusting journalist!" Hugo's first instinct was to blurt out, and suddenly he could see that the smile on Nicholas's face stiffened slightly, which made both of them pause. This is exactly the same reporter who complained about Hugo in the "Los Angeles Times" several times in a row, and apparently he is not optimistic about the prospects of Hugo's film "Smell and Know Women".

At this time, Martin and Joseph came over together, and during the filming, Joseph stayed with the other staff, and Hugo didn't see him all day today. Martin was still three steps away when he spoke, "Hugo, this is the interview arranged by the crew today, you can cooperate." ”

Joseph, who was standing next to him, also nodded in affirmation.

Hugo guessed that this should be one of the early publicity of the crew, many films have been promoted since before the project was established, and some news or crew photos have been released one after another, and some public interviews will also be arranged during the filming of the work, so that the audience can always maintain a sense of expectation for the movie. In fact, this "smelling and knowing women" is not done very often, because the producer Universal Pictures did not plan for the film to make a difference at the box office, but routine publicity is still needed, and today is the first time since Hugo entered the crew.

But why the Los Angeles Times, and why New York, and the New York news media? New York is the media capital of the world! Also, why Nicholas McLaen, isn't this deliberately causing trouble for Hugo!

"What about shooting?" Hugo subconsciously asked.

Martin chuckled, "Don't worry, there's plenty of rest." With that, Martin shook Nicholas' hand, showed his friendliness, and then turned away.

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

Although Hugo and Joseph's tacit understanding is still not enough, it can probably be understood that the agent supervises the interview process and often protects the artist. But he still shook his head, anyway, what he had to face would come sooner or later, and he couldn't always pin his hopes on Joseph.

Joseph nodded, pointed to a location not far away, indicated that he would be there if needed, and then turned to leave.

"So, that's just you and me." Nicholas smiled, "I've been writing about you for a few months, but today is the first time we've met. I'm in a very happy mood, and I can't help but be amazed by the charm of your real person. ”

In the face of Nicholas's compliment, Hugo pursed his lips, nodded his head lightly with a faint smile and said inquiringly, "Your words in the newspaper are not as friendly as your smile today, so I think our previous 'meeting' should not be so pleasant." ”

Interview, this is Hugo's first interview in the real sense, but the subject is actually Nicholas, is this considered a narrow road?
