Hugo had no idea what was going on at Endeavour Elite Agency, and he had to focus on his current job.

Leonardo stayed for half an hour that day before leaving. However, after Leonardo left, the crew of "Seven Deadly Sins" did not immediately resume filming, and Hugo walked to the side alone to settle his thoughts. The discussion with Leonardo just now inspired Hugo, and the most important thing is that Hugo has more of his own understanding of the performance of the role of Anonymous, and he needs to clear his mind.

But Hugo found that this time it didn't seem so easy.

Prior to this, Hugo had encountered difficulties in acting several times before and after, but he handled it very well, and quickly entered the state, grasped the key points, and then made a breakthrough, starting from "smelling the fragrance and knowing the woman" to "before sunrise", it can almost be said that he is overwhelming and invincible.

But this time, Hugo knew what he needed to improve, but he found that his brain was in a mess, and it was difficult for him to find an accurate direction to go, which was a terrible feeling.

In fact, there is no problem with Hugo's performance foothold, just look at his first scene in "The Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo completed the task exceptionally brilliantly, which proves that Hugo's analysis of Anonymous is correct, and Hugo's performance is also correct. But why was Hugo tied down after entering the role state?

When Hugo tried to give more content to the character of Anonymous, and when Hugo tried to inject more life into Anonymous with more subtle changes, he was a little overwhelmed, and even disrupted the rhythm of his performance, so that he fell into chaos. Was Hugo's approach wrong, or was Hugo's ideas simply unnecessary, or was Hugo's ambitions not in line with his current abilities?

Hugo tried to clear a line of thought, only to find that there was a confusion in his mind, or to be precise, no spark. Leonardo's words, Hugo's own understanding, the experience of past performances, and the previous construction of Anonymous are all intact in Hugo's mind, but when Hugo tries to combine these things and collide with sparks, there is no inspiration at all, and his brain is empty like the sleeping Arctic Ocean.

This made Hugo feel a sense of frustration, he could clearly feel that he was working in the right direction, but he didn't know how to exert his strength.

In fact, for many people, Hugo's attempt was unnecessary. Because Hugo's current methodological performance has been successful, "Schindler's List" won him Best Supporting Actor, and "Pulp Fiction" won a Cannes Best Actor and an Oscar nomination, which shows that Hugo's acting skills are now recognized by everyone. So, why change when there is already a viable way to perform?

Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, and Robert De Niro are all typical methodists, and they have all always stuck to their own way of acting, and have hardly changed their acting methods after achieving success.

It's almost a matter of course: if this approach has worked, why change it?

Unless this approach hits a bottleneck or inevitably goes downhill and is forced to make changes, that's a different story. But obviously this does not apply to Hugo's current form.

But Hugo doesn't think so, he is not an actor from a professional class, his perception of acting is more of a patchwork, he learned some academic system knowledge from Charlize Theron, and also learned the practical experience of acting from Al, Jack, these old actors, and also understood the charm of acting from hundreds of movie-watching experiences, and finally Guò himself continued to try and constantly strive to sum up his own performance method.

Although the current method works, Hugo knows that he still has many shortcomings, he is eager to absorb more, he is eager to go further, even if the current performance is partially successful, it does not mean that he is a successful actor. Therefore, Hugo has always been eager to make progress and breakthroughs in acting.

The character of Anonymous in "The Seven Deadly Sins" seems to open the door to the next stage for Hugo, and he even touches the threshold in the first scene, which makes him even more unwilling to miss it.

Thinking of this, Hugo beat the hard marble of the balcony a little unwillingly, and a slightly sharp stinging sensation came from the palm of his hand that made Hugo's brows furrow slightly. Suddenly, a light flashed in Hugo's mind: he couldn't find the right point of force and couldn't clear his thoughts, could it be because he had too many ideas?

Hugo's empiricism on the one hand, and the empiricism of methodological acting, on the other hand, pondered the precise requirements of the basic skills and the expression of feelings, which led him to always erroneously pursue the balance between the self and the role, and at the same time misjudged the connection between the self and the role.

Is it possible: these formed the foundation of his performance, and it just became an obstacle for him to break through further!

So what if he zeroed out all his thoughts and started from scratch? What about overthrowing all of your empiricism and all your self-understanding, returning to the essence of the role, putting aside the acting methods and acting methods, dismantling the complicated ideas again, treating them as new materials, and building your own thinking system from the foundation little by little?

"Fate proves it repeats, when explosions appear in the sky. What I need is what I can't find in this world. And you stand there, waiting for me to understand this: we build the world, and then destroy it completely; We build the world, and then burn it all. it。 down）。 Can't wait to burn it down and turn it to dust. ”

The old does not go, the new does not come. In many cases, in order to build a new world, it is inevitable that the old order must first be overthrown. The raging sound of the electronic piano mixed with the loud drum beat played in Hugo's mind, like an apocalypse in the sky, igniting all the chaotic thoughts in Hugo's mind, and the darkness faded little by little, gradually revealing the buried light.

It's easy to say, but it's not an easy task. Hugo has been polishing his acting skills from scratch, although it has only been three years since the beginning of "smelling and knowing women", but in fact, this includes all the experiences and feelings of him and Lancaster's two souls in the previous 25 years, the intricacies of life and the charm of performance are combined, and countless precipitations have ushered in the continuous outbreak of the past three years.

But now, Hugo has to personally put out all the acting methods he has learned for a long time in his mind, start from the most basic expressions of joy, anger and sorrow, re-learn the understanding and understanding of the role, and re-learn to use the correct emotional expression to correctly interpret the real emotions of the character, which is a very difficult and painful process, which is almost equivalent to self-denial.

It's like...... It's like tearing open a wound with your own hands and witnessing the blood bursting out, but you can only grit your teeth and persevere.

"Blood and dust were stacked on top of each other, climbing into the clouds with the rising flames. I want to repair and make up for this qiē, but can't stop tearing it apart and destroying it. And you stand there, in the midst of the burning fire, and there I wait, waiting for you to understand: we build the world, and then destroy it completely; We build the world, and then we burn it down. Can't wait to burn it down and turn it to dust. ”

The notes of the furious melody were like punches to Hugo's mind, and he lost all ability to resist, and he could only stand stiff and tired in the raging flames, allowing his thoughts to be burned and reduced to ashes.

The barren grassland destroyed by the fire was lifeless, but in the silence, a ray of sunlight slowly lit up, supporting the endless darkness with a faint light.

Who is Anonymous? It's just an anonymous person. Little by little, the idea of the character of Anonymous began to pop up in Hugo's mind, at first it was just a trickle, then it began to turn into a gurgling stream, then into a rolling river, and finally into a rushing waterfall, which rumbled into a crazy melody in Hugo's mind, making all the cells in Hugo's body start to roar.

Hugo turned all the complicated thoughts in his heart into rap, and shouted out loudly in the most brutal, direct and crisp way, putting aside the involvement and fetters of the melody, restoring the purest form of the lyrics.

"You give me an affirmative answer, you lift me up high, and I will believe the lies you tell. I am a soldier, you are king, I stab me when I bow my head and kiss your ring, you have no more right to the crown, I help you to reach the heights, but you disappoint me, I will act when you stumble before your horse, and I will fan the flames while you are burned. ”

Hugo knew that experience could be a source of motivation for continuous progress, but that empiricism would one day become an obstacle to his further development, so he had to learn to abandon it and look at problems from a new perspective.

When the melody and the thought overlapped, Hugo's love began to revive again, and all the thousands of ideas that were rushing in his mind collided together, and the splash of water flying in the sun reflected a dazzling light, about Leonardo's words, about his thoughts on Anonymous, about his excavation of acting skills...... All kinds of thoughts began to bloom little by little, and the gloom between Hugo's eyebrows dissipated little by little, as if it had been burned out.

"And you're just there, waiting for a showdown with me: we built this qiē just to destroy it completely, we built this qiē just to burn it down, we can't wait to burn it to dust. So when you fail, I'll wait for the opportunity, and when you get into trouble, I'll fan the wind, and we can't wait to burn it to dust. ”

The song "burn." it。 down)" is not difficult, and the whole process is smooth and smooth; But Hugo knows that his thinking about acting is just beginning now, when he burned all his previous understanding and understanding, there is a new door of acting in front of his eyes that shines again, at this time he stands in front of the gate, he can touch the door when he raises his hand, and can even feel the magical world behind the gate, all he needs to do is ...... Raise your hand, exert force, and push away!
