128 Beggar's Outfit
Looking at the long list of zeros on the passbook, Hugo sighed that he was also a millionaire, this qiē seemed to come too easily, a million dollars still has no real feeling in the eyes, maybe after taking it all out, it will be felt at home; However, Hugo had no chance, because the money was soon transferred to Joseph's account, and Hugo's account was quickly reduced to less than $200,000.
"Oh!" Hugo pretended to exaggerate and express his heartache, and when he promised Joseph before, he was happy enough to obviously realize that this was really a lot of money.
Although I don't know what happened to Joseph's family, I can see Joseph's anxiety, and then think about the situation in his own family, Hugo is relieved, at least the Lancaster family has been calm and quiet in the past year, no warming, but no deterioration.
Thanksgiving is basically synonymous with family troubles in American movies and TV series, and art comes from life. Even so, Thanksgiving is still a time for families to gather, and whether you like it or not, at least your family is still healthy, and that's something to be thankful for.
Watching Joseph be irritable and running for his family's affairs, Hugo also felt Joseph's attachment to the family, which made Hugo feel a trace of warmth, and the mood that had become depressed because of his father gradually became clear with the sunny day in Los Angeles.
Things may not be resolved in a short period of time, but that doesn't mean they will never be resolved.
Back home, Hugo looked at the empty hall and placed the key in the glass bowl at the door, "Alex? Charlize? Cal? Is anyone home?" Everyone was still there when they left just now, so there was no one when they went out to the bank and came back.
"I'm here." Charlize's voice came muffled from the room, "You're back?" The 'door' of Charlize's room was tightly closed, and you can imagine Charlize standing inside yelling, which made Hugo laugh: this 'woman' really doesn't look like a 'woman' at all.
Before Hugo could sit down, the door of the room opened wide, and Charlize walked out with his head bowed while sorting out his clothes, and asked, "You were in a hurry to go out in a hurry?" I wanted you to buy some cow's milk' and come back, but you left right away. ”
However, Hugo did not answer in time, and looked at Charlize in front of him dumbfounded, only to see that Charlize had blackened his cheeks, and applied them very evenly, and created some dirty feelings on the light gray background, and then Charlize wore a khaki "color" overalls "pants" with a white "color" T-shirt, but the problem was that this outfit was as if it had rolled in the dirt a few times, and it looked like a wanderer on the street.
After Charlize didn't get an answer, he raised his head as a matter of course, and immediately saw Hugo's surprised expression, "What's wrong?"
"You just went to the garbage dump to find dinner?" Hugo finally came back to his senses a little, and blurted out a sentence.
Charlize directly gave Hugo a roll of his eyes, "Yes, the 'door' is for you." Charlize tidied up his clothes a little, then looked up at Hugo, "How is it, do I have a flaw?" I need to play a wanderer. ”
Hugo then understood, looked up and down, and finally pointed to his collarbone, "There is still a difference in the 'color' of the face and the neck here." Then he pointed to the palms and wrists, "There are also 'wandering' men's nails will be darker, there will be a lot of dirt, and the black 'color' of the wrist should be more uneven." ”
Although there are professional makeup artists in the crew, but in the learning process, they must also have more control over the details of makeup, costumes, etc., an actor who is "colorful" is bound to have enough understanding of these aspects, even if there are professionals in the crew to serve, but the actor can also have an accurate grasp of the angular "color" from these details.
Although Hugo is not from a professional background, Hugo has studied countless films in the past ten years, and in the past six months, he has studied acting skills with Charlize and Alex, and began to gradually and systematically learn acting expertise, not to mention that he has also made two high-level film shooting, so Hugo's vision has indeed made great progress now.
Charlize looked at her hands, her nails still looked too clean, then looked at them again, and muttered depressedly, "I've been applying it for an hour, and it's still not enough." But Charlize turned around and went back to his room and went back to his makeup.
Hugo followed him to the 'door' of the room, leaning on the 'door' frame, "Need help?"
"No, the teacher said it's better to do it yourself, after all, makeup is also a very important part." Charlize stood in front of the full-length mirror to examine his collarbone, pulled the T-shirt down, 'revealed' the firm and smooth skin, and then used the black powder on his hand to apply the black 'color' on the canvas without hesitation.
"Acting homework this time?" This is Hugo's only thought, otherwise there would be no reason for Charlize to pretend to be a wanderer at this time.
Charlize smoothed out the collarbone before speaking, "Yes. The teacher asked us to choose a character and go out on the street to perform. ”
"You chose to wander the 'prodigal' man?" Street performances are rich and diverse, even if they are just standing there to do performance art, they must bear the gaze, indifference, and even disdain of pedestrians, and the pressure will definitely not be less than the camera. What's more, the performances presented in front of the camera in the future are to be scrutinized by the audience. Therefore, the topic of street performance is not uncommon in acting classes. It's just that Charlize actually chose to wander the 'prodigal' man, which is really unexpected.
Charlize nodded crisply, "Yes." Then she began to smear her fingers, and the lines of the fingers were more and thinner, so it was not easy to create the uneven and dirty effect of the whole complexion, "I originally wanted to paint a face, but I found that I didn't have this technique. I just wanted to cover my face and make people pay attention to my body language. ”
Charlize's appearance is too 'colorful', and many times it unintentionally attracts some unnecessary attention, even if it is an acting teacher, it is easy to be distracted. This is a big disadvantage, in fact, Hugo also encountered this situation during the filming of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'" and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea", but Al and Jack are experienced enough to cope with this, and they led Hugo's performance to cover this up. No wonder it is said that the road to the Oscar statuette of handsome guys and beautiful 'women' is bumpy.
Hearing Charlize's words, Hugo showed a shallow smile and teased, "Are you complimenting yourself on your appearance?"
Charlize paused, then looked at Hugo and smiled, "Yes." He replied confidently.
Hugo raised his right index finger and shook it, "Remember, don't laugh." Charlize's smile immediately turned into doubt, "Your teeth." Hugo's words woke up the dreamer. Sure enough, applying makeup is not an easy task.
However, the teeth of the wanderers are generally yellowish, and there are even some stains, but this is not an effect that amateur makeup artists can create, so avoiding smiling is the easiest way.
Charlize retracted his smile and continued to smear his hands, "What about you?" What are your plans for the afternoon?" In the past two days, the propaganda of "smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'woman'" has come to an end, and Hugo has gradually become idle, and the time to rest at home has suddenly increased a lot.
Hugo didn't have a plan in the first place, and looking at Charlize like this, he suddenly had an idea, "I can go to street performance with you." ”
Charlize turned his head and looked Hugo up and down, pouting, "That's it?" What do you want to play, the prince alms the 'prodigal' man?"
Although it is also makeup, this is no more complicated than Halloween costumes, which require a whole set of equipment and makeup. Charlize didn't get it done for an hour, and Hugo had to go with him temporarily, obviously too late to dress up.
Hugo also knew that his appearance was too different from Charlize, so he thought about it carefully, and then 'revealed' a smile, "I have an idea." I think we could do a little bit of drama. "Since it is a street performance, some simple dramas are harmless, on the contrary, they are also very helpful for acting learning.
"Drama?" Charlize looked at Hugo unexpectedly and pondered for a moment, "Actually, I didn't have a detailed plan, I just wanted to beg on the street, weaving a miserable life experience, and seeing how many passers-by want to believe." But what better plan do you have?"
Hugo nodded repeatedly, "I won't conflict with your plans." "Although this impromptu drama is not perfect, the essence of street performance is not to be fake and 'chaotic', but to devote oneself to it, even if it is to let the audience know that this qiē is just a performance, the point is to let the audience participate in their performance together. So, there's nothing wrong with a little exaggeration.
Then Hugo whispered his plan to Charlize, and Charlize frowned and said, "Is this possible?"
"Why not? Anyway, we originally planned to practice our acting skills, and substituting some plots will also help to explode emotionally. Hugo thought he had a good idea, "Besides, it's much more effective to have some interaction than if you were to sit there and cry alone." ”
Charlize didn't think too much about it, "It's acting practice anyway, and it's great if you're willing to help, so let's try it." After a pause, "Do we need to practice beforehand?"
Hugo pursed his lips, "Feel free to react on the spot, isn't our story setting an accident anyway?" Perhaps, there will be some unexpected surprises. ”
