037 Acting Learning
In the past, when Hugo learned acting, he watched movies through guò, and when he watched it for the first time, he just watched the movie, but when he watched it for the second and third times, he gradually began to analyze the plot, shooting techniques, etc., and the actors' performances were naturally one of them. Hugo would be accustomed to imitating the actor's performance to figure out the role, and even imagined that he was a member of the big screen and played the role from the actor's position.
In the process of imitating acting skills, Al Pacino is naturally a person who cannot be ignored, Hugo not only imitated Al's performance in "The Godfather", but also will not miss the famous "Smell Woman", Al's performance has achieved a big explosion in this movie after years of precipitation, and the tense acting skills will be violent, conceited, depressed, and good. Colored, upright, and compassionate, Lieutenant Colonel Slade performed a brilliant performance that has left a place in history.
Relatively speaking, the space left for the role of Charlie is relatively narrow, and there are even many comments that "Smell the Woman" is Al Pacino's one-man show. But in fact, the young actor Chris O'Donnell (Chris, who played the role of Charlie in history. O'Donnell) also won a lot of accolades, as he was a rookie when he starred in the film, contributing a youthful but brilliant performance. Of course, what really made Chris O'Donnell gain a foothold in the entertainment industry was the TV series "NCIS: Los Angeles (NCIS: LOS) that aired more than two decades later. angeles)”。
Therefore, the work "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" is an opportunity and a challenge for Hugo. It is not so easy for Hugo not to lose himself in the face of Al-Pacino's powerful aura and to play the role of Charlie, because Charlie is not a domineering personality, let alone compared to Lieutenant Colonel Slade, who does his own thing. But on the other hand, Hugo also got the opportunity to play against Al head-on, and the close contact allowed Hugo to further learn acting.
During the period after the filming of the film started, almost every scene required Hugo and Al to be on the stage at the same time, Hugo could clearly see that Al easily took the rhythm of the performance in his hands, which is a feeling that cannot be expressed in words, but he will unconsciously follow the rhythm of Al's performance when acting, and then the love will also be mobilized by Al's words, gestures, and movements, and then present the shot that the director needs.
It's a strange feeling, on the one hand, it seems that Al is guiding him to act, but on the other hand, it seems that he has lost himself in front of Al, which makes Hugo seem to struggle a little.
However, this state of struggle brought out Hugo's best performance, because the relationship between Charlie and Lieutenant Colonel Slade in the movie was also the same, which invisibly made Hugo quickly enter the state, so that the filming progress has been showing a gratifying trend.
For Hugo, filming is important, but it is equally important to explore acting skills, and he is thinking carefully about Al's performance in the scene just now. Today the entire crew is at the Pierre Hotel on Fifth Avenue. Lieutenant Colonel Slade took Donna, who met for the first time, to dance a sexy tango in the hotel lobby, which is also one of the most memorable scenes in film history: blind tango dancing is very rare, and the lieutenant colonel also vividly shows the elegance and sexiness of tango, which is even more rare.
The actor who plays the glancing beauty in the movie is Gabrielle, a British actress who just entered Hollywood last year. Anwar), in fact, Hugo is not familiar with Gabriel, because although she was very exposed in the 90s, most of Hugo's works have not been seen, and her most famous work is this "Smell and Know Women". But this did not prevent Hugo from complimenting Gabriel when he saw him, with his delicate facial features, smooth long hair, and soft lips, which made people marvel just by meeting him.
The scene that just finished filming, even if there are three people, Hugo, Gabriel and Al, but the rhythm of acting is still firmly in the hands of Al, Hugo tries to find his own rhythm, but it is not so easy, which makes Hugo can't help but review every detail of Al's filming just now in his mind over and over again, trying to find a clue.
When Al was acting, there was a sense of naturalness, there was no deliberate carving, and there were no traces of elaborate design, every qiē was so natural, as if Lieutenant Colonel Verslade should be so ordinary at this moment. How? Even if Hugo tried to imitate, he could even imitate eighty percent of the similarity, but he only resembled the shape but not the god, and the essence of the whole performance was not grasped, which is really elusive.
Hugo's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of elegant tango music in the hall, and he knew that the next scene was about to start, and then Hugo realized that he couldn't even do the look, but he had already begun to think about the god, as if he couldn't start imagining himself running without walking. Hugo couldn't help but smile, temporarily put away by the intricate thoughts in his heart, and raised his head to watch the shooting of this classic scene.
The music chosen for this scene is the famous tango song, which came out in 1935 with the "One Step Away" (por. una。 Cabeza" is known as one of the most extreme representatives of tango because of its noble and moving melody, and the chic and smooth music presents the joyful enthusiasm of tango like a lover's whisper.
At this time, the rehearsal was over, and Al led Gabriel to stand at the end of the dance floor, and under Martin's "start the beat", the lieutenant colonel gently took Donna into his arms, put her left hand on his waist on his right shoulder, and then took a step in the elegant melody.
I saw the lieutenant colonel walking cautiously, the pace was not big, but it was not jerky at all, which made Donna gradually enter the state from the nervousness at the beginning, dancing with the music, and the smile on her face involuntarily revealed. Feeling Donna's muscles relax, the expression on the lieutenant colonel's face became more and more focused, and sometimes a bright smile appeared, but then he was once again engrossed in the music, as if this was the best moment in the world.
The lieutenant colonel was quietly tapping the tip of his tongue, and those who were not familiar with him could not notice that the lieutenant colonel could not see it, but he could vaguely begin to feel the slightly restrained pace of the lieutenant colonel, revealing the fact that his world was in darkness.
However, the lieutenant colonel did not let this little difficulty hinder him from the tango under his feet, the flowing steps with the undulation of the melody freely unfolded on the small dance floor, the perfect combination of dance and music made Donna completely relaxed, and the laughter like silver bells shuttled back and forth in the strings of "One Step Away", which made the lieutenant colonel's slightly stiff face reveal a touch of imperceptible tenderness.
Looking at this scene, inexplicably, Hugo's eyes moistened, and he was moved by the focused happiness on the lieutenant colonel's face, and he clearly remembered that the lieutenant colonel was so eager to have someone by his side, and he was kind to women. The persistence of color also reveals the loneliness of the heart, and at this moment, Gabriel's Ogilvie sister soap (ogilvie. sisters。 soap) and the clearest laughter of the innocent girl made a smile appear on Lieutenant Colonel Yan Sù's face. Happiness is so simple, Hugo only felt that his heart was suddenly filled with an inexplicable feeling.
At the same time, the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was outlined in this way, because the lieutenant colonel's light but slightly difficult steps were so graceful, maybe he was not a skilled tango dancer, but at this moment he was the most infectious dancer, pulling Donna's soft body to enjoy the beauty of the music, carefully protecting Donna who came into contact with tango for the first time in her life, this gentleness, released the softest happiness in Donna's heart. Tango is said to be a secret dance between lovers, filled with the tacit understanding between dancers, and at this moment, it is clear that the lieutenant colonel is invisible, and the lieutenant colonel and Donna have just met, but this tango is so beautiful that it is intoxicating.
When the dance ended, Martin shouted "Ka", and he walked over to Al and Gabriel and began to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the filming that had just ended, and the filming of this scene was not over so quickly. But Hugo still didn't wake up from the play, and he was completely immersed in Arna's brilliant performance.
Al not only perfectly interprets the blindness of the lieutenant colonel, but also conveys this message delicately with his nervous, cautious, and cautious steps, so that others cannot see it; At the same time, Al also used guò's own dance to drive, and easily substituted Gabriel into the state of acting, and his smile, voice, and movements perfectly met the director's requirements, and even amazed the audience; In addition, Arna's delicate expression has no traces of carving at all, and Hugo can feel the inner confusion just by looking at it, joy, happiness, worry, and concentration...... The fusion of this love affair quietly turned the role of the lieutenant colonel into three dimensions.
It's hard to imagine that this is the shock of a scene, and when Martin shouts "card" over, Al still hasn't come out of the state of "blindness", and his godless eyes still can't see anyone, this is the real acting, people can't strip this role from the actor at all, and can influence other actors to bring them into the play.
Watching Al's performance up close and experiencing this perfect tango performance on the spot, Hugo's inner shock is incomparable, which is the highest goal of an actor and the direction that Hugo has been striving for.
So, Hugo's eyes were moist; Therefore, the corners of Hugo's mouth are hooked; Therefore, when Martin's "card" sounded, Hugo stood up without any hesitation, vigorously beat his hands, and expressed his inner excitement with applause, which was given to the wonderful tango just now, and also to the great actor Al-Pacino.
