286 Mystery Guest

Hearing the explanation on the left-hand side, Hugo realized that he was so involved that he forgot about the division of the second and second halves, which was also a time for the stage to change the scenery and leave a short break for the actors.

Hugo turned his head to look to the left, and smiled to express his gratitude, and then realized that the lights in the theater were still not all on, and he couldn't see it really, so he simply nodded his head to convey his gratitude. The person sitting next door only nodded slightly, and even if he responded, it was obvious that he had no intention of communicating further.

Hugo's gaze subconsciously stopped on the side faces of several people on the left, because this group of people was late just now, although it didn't cause any special 'commotion', but watching a Broadway show was actually late, which was obviously not polite, so Hugo paid more attention to them.

Sitting on Hugo's left hand side was a big strong man, leaning back in his chair, and his strong flesh lines could be faintly seen in the dim light, but Hugo strongly suspected that the big man was asleep, because he didn't move at all.

In the past, there was a relatively slender man, the whole 'yin' shadow outlined two sizes smaller, almost completely covered by the big man, it was estimated that he was talking to Hugo just now, but Hugo couldn't see it clearly, he could only see his slightly sharp nose tip, abruptly squeezing out a curve in the dark 'yin' shadow, twisting the hazy 'yin' shadow into a cold shape.

Could it be that this person was a special guest invited by Catherine? Otherwise, it would have been a VIP seat and a late arrival, and another large crowd would follow, and it would have been difficult for Hugo to think of a better explanation than that.

As if sensing Hugo's gaze, the man shrank back, and the whole person was hidden in the shadow of the big man, completely disappearing from Hugo's sight. Hugo realized that he was abrupt, so he immediately withdrew his gaze and looked again at the heavy curtain on the stage.

"Hugo, did you see Catherine's performance just now? Isn't it 'fine'?" Joseph tugged at Hugo's right arm and said in a low voice. Although it was time to rest, no one was loud, except that the sound of Suo Suo was muffled in the faint darkness.

Hugo nodded vigorously, "Of course, you forgot, I've always been here." Hugo could feel the excitement hidden in Joseph's words, and it was truly amazing to see the performance of such a top actor up close, "Did you find out?" Catherine's momentum throughout the performance easily drove the whole plot forward, taking all the situations into her hands...... I think this is the so-called actor temperament. ”

Hugo's angle of watching the performance is slightly different from Joseph's, he is more to observe the interaction and involvement between the actors on the stage, each actor's performance has a distinctive character, on the Broadway stage, only the performance of all the actors together, can dedicate an extraordinarily 'fine' drama, any link problems, may lose the whole game.

This reminded Hugo of the tradition of British actors. Although the center of the world's cinema is Hollywood, it has long been believed that American cinema represents commerce and European cinema represents art, and although this view has changed since the second decade of the 21st century, the general pattern is still the same. In the pattern of European films, the actors' solid acting skills are obvious to all, which also makes European actors always achieve a lot of achievements after entering Hollywood.

Among them, British actors are the most special existence, people once joked that if British actors want to achieve results, there is a way that no one can avoid, first, college background, which is the so-called professional background; secondly, to experience the influence of stage plays in London's West End, which is ranked as the world's two largest theatrical centers along with Broadway, which means that actors must have sufficient performance experience; Third, it is the ability to abandon one's own image to play the role of a broken horn, such as homosexuality, perversion, homicidalism and other horns. After experiencing this qiē, British actors can be regarded as preliminarily qualified to "leave the teacher".

This is also the case, whether it is a 'flower' vase actor like Orlando Bloom (Orla), the "Spirit' Prince", or Maggie Smith (Maggie, who has starred in the "Harry-Potter" series and "Downton Abbey". smith) is a top veteran actor, and they have grown up step by step like this. Even if there are child actors like the young actors of the "Harry and Both" series, they will all go through the path of British actors again when they grow up, and complete the old British tradition of stubbornness but prudence.

The reason why the performance of the stage play is placed in such an important position is because it is a test of the actors' on-the-spot reactions, the exaggeration and delicacy of the feelings, the involvement and entanglement of the plays, the communication with the audience, and the appeal of the performance.

Catherine Hepburn, a famous 'actress' who has gone down in history, her acting skills not only have spirituality and aura, but also a kind of performance temperament accumulated and precipitated over many years of Broadway, and Hugo has personally experienced this so-called temperament just now. Catherine's every move can catch the audience's attention and attention, so that people will not think about the question of "how this actor or this character 'color' should be expressed xiàn ......", but firmly believe that this role 'color' should be like this, this kind of natural performance temperament is an ultimate enjoyment for the audience, and for the actors who are in the same industry, it is a kind of impact and baptism of the spirit.

It's no wonder that British actors have to stand the test of stage plays, and it's no wonder that so many actors love to go to Broadway to watch a show because it's not just a pleasure, it's a learning.

Of course, in the same way, if an actor does not have a solid acting foundation on the stage, he will be easily found flawed. In front of Catherine's powerful aura, the solid performance foundation of several other actors on the same stage makes them not brilliant but not inferior, and Christopher Reeve is even more dazzling to Hugo.

This reminds Hugo of what he said about Christopher, in fact, Christopher is a very "outstanding" actor, he is also a professional actor, and then he "touched" and rolled in Broadway dramas for a few years, and his basic acting skills are very solid, but a "superman" made him famous all over the world, and people paid attention to his handsome appearance, thus ignoring his acting strength. And this image of a 'flower' vase followed him all his life until his death.

The reason why Christopher still returned to the Broadway stage to star in an unknown drama with Catherine after relying on "Superman" to achieve great praise must be because he has always pursued acting.

Hugo inexplicably remembered Lang's previous acting plan for Lancaster, although he didn't like Lang, but he couldn't deny Lang's professionalism, he built a preliminary road for Lancaster to rely on acting skills to start steadily, which made Hugo able to quickly win the recognition of acting skills after starring in "Smell the Fragrance and Know the 'Woman'" and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea" - because he had relevant experience before, otherwise people would still only treat Christopher like Christopher, positioning Hugo in' In the position of the vase, after all, Hugo's opponents in these two movies are two powerful actor-level actors.

Hugo's 'chaotic' thoughts were shared intermittently with Joseph, who also didn't like Lang, but he also agreed with Hugo's thoughts, "Maybe Lang is a 'bastard', but he is really capable in the position of agent." "That's why Tracy and Long are getting stronger and stronger, because they have real material.

"Ahem...... cough ......" There was a low cough on the left, Hugo and Joseph subconsciously looked over, and then Hugo saw the mysterious guest with a sharp nose pointing to the stage, and Hugo turned his head to see the curtain shaking faintly, and it seemed that there was not much time left before the start.

Hugo knew that the other party must be reminding himself not to continue the 'exchange' conversation, and it was indeed very rude to disturb others during the process of watching the play, although Hugo and Joseph's 'exchange' conversation was very quiet, and intermittent and incoherent, but Hugo realized that he was a little too excited just now, or affected others, so he quickly bowed his head to the mysterious guest and said "sorry" and then sat quietly with Joseph, waiting for the second half to start again.

In fact, there was still some time before the opening of the second half, and the sound of Xi Xisuo on the scene lasted for a short while, and then gradually calmed down. After waiting for about two minutes, the curtain slowly opened, marking the start of the second half.

In the second half, the story gradually departs from the lightness of the first half, and Madame Bazel, played by Catherine, gradually begins to think about the philosophical question of "whether God really exists zài ......", which makes the branches and leaves of the story more and more luxuriant, and the message to the audience is also more and more. Everyone fell silent, and as the conversation progressed, they fell into deep thought.

Hugo was no exception, but he was also observing the way the actors performed on stage as the burden of acting increased. For Hugo, a non-professional actor who is halfway home, continuous learning and continuous effort is the only way for him to improve, and being able to see Catherine, Christopher and others perform on the Broadway stage so closely is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Hugo does not want to miss it. Therefore, Hugo looked very seriously, he dragged his cheeks, looked at the stage almost intently, and put all his thoughts into the stage.

The audience fell into a focused silence, and even the sound of breathing was much lighter, lest a little movement and a little sound would interrupt the 'fine' performance on the stage. But at this time, in the direction of the left side of the first floor, a flash suddenly lit up, although it was just a "click" flash, but it still made many audience members subconsciously mumble, obviously very dissatisfied with the process of watching the performance interrupted by this sudden flash. No one will be happy with such a situation.
