After Christmas, Hugo sent off Adam and Taylor's family, and then he was once again involved in the "vulgar" shooting. Almost the entire crew could feel Hugo's relaxed mood, which made the crew's filming full of joyful atmosphere.

Quentin even more confusedly said, "Hugo, I don't know what happened at Christmas, if you did it." Love, I sincerely pray that you will do it every day in the future. Love. It made the whole crew laugh.

Hugo didn't care at all, and replied directly, "Then I got off work early to find a partner?" Quentin couldn't say a word, so he could only laugh hehehe, "It's okay to make a phone call, the work still has to be done, and everything else can be postponed and pushed back for the time being." ”

Originally, the "vulgar" shooting was very smooth, and the picture in Quentin's mind was very clear, and he had a draft for the lens and the positioning of the structure, so as long as the actor's performance passed, the shooting of a scene could be completed quickly. Now the cooperation of the entire crew is very smooth, and the filming process is finally on the right track.

Hugo and Bruce also have a few rival scenes, in fact, the last time they met with Bruce at the Golden Globes, Hugo felt that Bruce was still very bold, although Demi Moore seemed to look at Hugo unpleasantly, but Bruce didn't mind the past. Even if you mind, it's okay to drink two glasses of wine between men, so the shooting of the two people is very smooth.

In the script, the only connection point between Vincent played by Hugo and Mia played by Uma is the gang boss Marsha, Vincent is Marsha's subordinate, and Mia is Marsha's wife, Marsha is worried that Mia is too boring, so he asked Vincent to accompany Mia to relieve boredom. This is where Hugo and Uma play come in.

Vincent had mentioned before that a man was thrown from the fourth floor by Masha because he gave Mia a foot massage, and it was because of this that Vincent planned to treat himself as a follower, and Mia as a Marsha, and serve him well, and he had no other ideas. In this case, the relationship between Vincent and Mia is also a little alienated and tense, Mia wants to liven up the atmosphere and relax, but Vincent is a little wary, he doesn't want to be the object of Marsha's suspicion.

It is this relationship that makes the rivalry between Hugo and Uma very smooth, because the relationship between the two of them is similar to the script.

Hugo did what he said, he did what a professional actor should do, and successfully completed the filming of various scenes; And Uma is also fully devoted, although occasionally a little out of shape, but due to the excellent performance of the rival actor Hugo, Uma's performance is also much easier, so that the filming unfolds smoothly without any problems.

Quentin first filmed the next few tense scenes, that is, the part where Mia overdosed on drugs and Vincent rushed to rescue her, and after all the filming was completed, he came back to shoot the front to be slightly soothing and ambiguous. ambiguous scenes.

Today's shooting is Vincent taking Mia to dinner, Mia chooses a retro-style convivial restaurant, with a large dance floor in the middle, a retro car-shaped booth next to the dance floor, and a waiter imitating Marilyn Monroe in front of the bar, which won a round of applause.

Hugo and Uma completed all the scenes in the car booth, and the next thing to shoot is the scene of the classic retro twist dance competition, this scene has no lines, just Vincent and Uma stand in the middle of the dance floor and dance, but it is a kind of communication between the two people, so that the originally slightly awkward and silent atmosphere between the two people is broken, but it also breeds a little ambiguity. Ambiguous atmosphere.

This scene is not only a tribute to the retro, but also a tribute to the twist dance culture that swept the United States throughout the seventies, and it is also a change and struggle in the psychology of Vincent's character: he doesn't want to dance with the boss woman, but he is asked to make Mia happy, which is a contradictory proposition, and in the end Vincent is persuaded by Mia to go on stage. From the beginning, he was restrained, and the range of movements was very small; But then the movement gradually stretched, which also gave Vincent and Mia a little emotional exchange.

In fact, any scene can be remembered by the public, it must be because it has the value of preserving zài, not only classics, but also memory points. It's like the tango in "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", if you take out this dance alone, it is actually a blind old man dancing jerkily with a young woman, compared to those professional tango, it is nothing at all, but after looking at it before and after, the audience will find that this simple tango condenses the energetic heart of the blind old man, and his care and love for women is like a rose that blooms again in his withered life.

Al Pacino's acting skills are delicate and warm when performing this tango, which may not be as conspicuous as the scenes of the next few love outbursts, but it shows his profound acting skills.

The same is true of the stage of "Vulgarity", which shows a delicate shift in Vincent's psyche. Many people have always thought that Vincent's character is too thin and not as memorable as other characters in "vulgar" stories, including Hugo. But after Hugo's careful analysis, he knew that it was not that the role of Vincent did not have highlights, but that the original actor John Travolta was not able to dig deep enough, although John's performance was already commendable, but it still lacked fire and depth.

Putting aside all the background that Hugo created for Vincent before, just taking this twisting dance as an example, in fact, the changes in Vincent's movements, eyes, and posture are all traceable, and the changes in the character's heart can be excavated, including Vincent's personality characteristics in treating Marsha and women, all of which are subtlely reflected, making the whole character complete and three-dimensional.

Quentin did not give the role much room to play, but it still left a certain amount of space, and whether he could grasp it depends on the actor's skills. That's why Christopher Waltz later (Christoph. Waltz) has been able to rely on Quentin's work to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor twice. John Travolta was not able to show the depth of the character in the first place, so now that Hugo plays the role, will he be able to make a breakthrough?

For Hugo, he found it very difficult, because he was a dance idiot, he really had no talent for dancing, and now he had to not only dance, but also dance to show his character, and to make matters worse, he had to have an emotional exchange with Uma, which made the scene of the twist dance suddenly full of uncertain drama.

"Hugo, are you okay?" Quentin stood behind the monitor, and said with some schadenfreude, usually watching Hugo perform is always in his chest, but now Hugo's embarrassed appearance is too rare, especially after Hugo has just experienced the dilemma of learning dance on the spot, Quentin is more and more sè, "You look a little pale." ”

Hugo didn't speak, just raised his middle finger, which made Quentin laugh.

Uma looked at the nervous Hugo, only to see that he pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, looked at his feet seriously with his eyes, and then tried to twist his body, in fact, this kind of dance is really not difficult, the main thing is to twist that part with a joint, for example, with the left ankle as a support, twist the left foot; Or use the waist as a support, twist the buttocks, and then use some hand movements, this is not a strict dance step, it is completely a dance to enjoy writhing with music.

But the miraculous thing is that such a simple dance was performed by Hugo, and it magically danced a sense of joy, which made Uma laugh a little, and said, "No, you don't have to twist both feet at the same time, just start with one." You know, when you writhe at the same time, it looks a bit like a crab. ”

After Uma finished speaking, he saw Hugo scratching his head in annoyance, revealing a depressed smile, "I think I'm just a little uncoordinated." This innocent smile silenced Uma for missing Hugo. But alas, Hugo didn't see it, and he didn't even give Uma more time to react, "Anyway, let's try it first, Quentin?" ”

Hugo took a deep breath, although this is not his area of expertise, but in any case, he still has to try to see to know, the point is, he is an actor, and all an actor needs to do is to break through himself in difficult situations. Hugo secretly clenched his fists and cheered himself on.

"Are you ready?" Quentin's voice rang over, and then he looked at Uma and Hugo standing in the middle of the dance floor, and then said, "Let's shoot!" ”

Chuck Berry, one of the most influential festivals in the history of rock 'n' roll. berry) classic track "You can never predict (you. never…… tell)" rang, with a strong blues style and rustic elements, and the retro vibe of the 60s immediately filled the surroundings.

Hugo took a deep breath, drooped his shoulders, and with a reluctant expression, he glanced at Uma and saw that Uma had already set up a dance stance, so he clapped his hands helplessly, and then began to dance as well. I saw Hugo clasp his hands around his waist, stand on tiptoe with his left foot as the center, and then began to writhe.

Originally, this movement was no problem, but Hugo's muscles were too stiff, and his hands were tightly clamped around his waist, as if they were fried chicken wings; The right foot, which supports the body, is completely stiff, like a stake; The writhing left foot has no sense of rhythm, and it looks like a machine person shaking a smooth iron rod......

What's even stricter is that Hugo has no sense of coordination all over his body, but has an inexplicable sense of joy, especially the slightly frowning brows, slightly upturned lips, and some helplessness in the nervousness.

Hugo vividly interpreted the definition of the term "dancing idiot" on the scene today! [Courtesy of this article].
