After a simple greeting, Hugo immediately joined the friends of "Friends" and began the rehearsal of today's script. Although it is said that Hugo’s guest appearance in "Friends" has always been kept secret, in fact, after the script came out, Hugo had already watched it the first time-not as David worried, this script was obtained by Hugo. After the approval, the final decision was made. Instead, the actors of "Friends" saw the script after Hugo.

The beginning of the rehearsal seemed a bit chaotic, mainly because Courteney and Jennifer couldn't immediately participate in the script, even if it was a transitional line, they would laugh at the scene. Obviously, the arrival of Hugo still caused subtle changes in the atmosphere of the scene, and every actor would inevitably have some fluctuations.

Originally, it was only an hour of rehearsal, but it was delayed for nearly forty-five minutes before it was announced that the rehearsal had reached a stage.

After the rehearsal, Hugo left the lounge and walked outside. Standing at the entrance of the lounge, you can see a huge wooden partition in front of you. Walk a few steps forward and you can see that this is a three-sided circular wooden partition, which is Monica’s room in "Friends". At the end of the room is a wooden door, through which you can see Monica’s apartment. Scenes that appear in this drama almost every day, but after being immersed in the scene, they found that it was so simple, even without a ceiling.

Turn around and continue walking a few steps along the corridor, and you can see another scene, which looks dark and narrow. Walk in and take a look. However, in the two-step space, you can see a wooden door and look inside. , There is actually a different cave, and the familiar scene of the Central Park Cafe (central.perk) is laid out in front of you.

But before Hugo had time to sigh the simplicity and magic of the setting, he could see the audience members who were taking their seats one after another, which surprised Hugo. Because the most famous sofa of the Central Park Cafe is directly opposite to a large open space. Stepped seats are placed on the left and right sides of the open space. The open space is even more than double the space of the cafe itself. The entire field of view can be seen at a glance Before the end, countless chandeliers, booms, cameras and other equipment can be clearly seen in the line of sight.

Hugo stopped quickly and looked back. Although I have experienced studio shooting in the filming of "Yihai Xiongfeng", today's large-scale indoor sitcoms like "Friends" have opened Hugo's eyes, almost encompassing the entire world in one studio. , Just a few seemingly simple partitions, will include the ten-year life of "Friends".

Studio shooting is obviously very different from outdoor shooting. The whole scenery, space, and orientation feel are different, but the audience who filmed and watched on-site made Hugo feel incredible. Although there were spectators in the filming, it was just spectators. The spectators at the scene made a special trip to watch the filming. This is not like filming or TV shooting, but more like a stage show.

In other words, every move of the actors will be presented in the eyes of the audience, and any mistakes will be magnified. Although this is different from a stage play after all, there is room for fault tolerance, but the attention of the audience is to the actors. Silent pressure. What's more, this is a comedy!

Hugo knew that the on-site staff would definitely drive the audience and instruct them to laugh where they should be, to avoid being out of the way. But the actor's feeling at the scene is very real, because it is impossible to hide whether the audience's laughter is true or false. For comedy, the pressure has grown exponentially.

Faced with such a situation, Hugo felt fresh, and couldn't help feeling nervous too!

Hugo certainly knows that sitcoms have canned laughter, but he has always thought that it was recorded laughter, not what the audience made at the scene. So when I saw so many viewers outside the studio today, Hugo didn't think much about it. He thought it was just a fan who came to visit the class. After all, "Friends" is now a popular TV series.

But now the situation has changed drastically. No wonder the screenwriter and director were watching during the line rehearsal just now, and the specifications were more rigorous than usual script exercises.

Although the performance breakthrough of "Death Row" just ended not long ago, Hugo still inevitably feels excited at this time. He knew that he was not a good comedian, but because of this, today's challenge is more arduous and difficult, which also makes Hugo have a different vision for the world of acting.

Seeing the noisy audience at the scene, Hugo suddenly understood the stubbornness and persistence of the British Academy's party stage play.

With this in mind, Hugo is not only excited about today's guest appearance on "Friends", but also has some expectations and self-requirements. He didn't want to ruin the good impression of "Friends" in the eyes of the audience because of his poor performance!

Hugo retracted his steps, turned and left the café scene. Since live audiences are needed to test the quality of the series today, let's make everything more real. Hugo is also looking forward to how his performance can arouse the audience's reaction, which is more exciting than attending the film premiere.

At this moment, the observers are entering the studio according to the established procedure. Although it is said that it is delayed by a quarter of an hour than the expected time, this little waiting time does not consume their patience at all, but makes them more excited, almost every time. A person who came to the scene couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

In fact, before coming to Burbank, all the audience members didn’t know anything about it. They just treated it as a normal filming. They didn’t have much idea that the number of audience members was doubled as usual. Even many people didn’t know anything about it. No abnormality was noticed.

Until the appearance of Hugo.

It boiled for an instant outside the studio. The scene was out of control for a while. No one dreamed that Hugo could be watched on the scene during the shooting today. This is simply an annual Christmas gift. Even if Hugo enters the studio, the boiling off the scene has not been able to subside for a long time. Almost everyone in the audience is excited and can't wait for the next shooting.

The waiting time is almost spent slowly in anxiety, anticipation, excitement, and excitement. After everyone is seated in their seats, looking at the setting of the Central Park cafe in front of you, the emotion is suddenly surging. The invasion made the scene quickly filled with a high temperature, the hot temperature made the air thin, the sound of the heartbeat made the scene noisy, and the approach of time made the emotions tense!

The whole studio was filled with a subtle atmosphere at this time, as if waiting for the explosion point, a big explosion could be ushered in at any time.

Not long after Hugo returned to the waiting room, the filming of "Friends" officially began. Five people except David took the lead. When they came out, the audience immediately burst into cheers and screams. The atmosphere seemed very warm.

For the actors of "Friends", although they all seemed a bit over-excited today, they are still very comfortable after they put in work. It can be seen that they are very familiar with the whole operation mode. It was only two timeouts with errors, and the previous scenes were quickly finished filming.

The screenwriters of this episode obviously worked hard. In just less than five minutes of the plot, it caused at least six hilarious laughs from the audience. Even Hugo, who was waiting on the side stage, just heard it. The lines are full of laughter. This situation also brought greater pressure. With the advent of Hugo's debut time, Hugo felt a sense of tension that had been missing for a long time. You know, since "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo has not been so nervous and nervous before acting.

Hugo closed his eyes and let himself think about the role.

Hugo’s guest appearance today is a virtual character called Steve Rogers (Steve Rogers.). He didn’t feel anything when he heard the name Hugo. Matthew was so happy during the rehearsal just now. After explaining it, Hugo knew that. It was actually the real name of the classic character Captain America in Marvel comics, which made Hugo feel that there are three black lines on his forehead. The screenwriter is really childlike today.

Steve is an Irishman. He and his sister Elizabeth depend on each other, so they are very strict with her sister. Elizabeth and Rose are dating. Steve, who came to New York on a business trip, plans to meet Elizabeth’s boyfriend, but because Elizabeth is only eighteen years old, Rose is already thirty. It was even one year older than Steve, which made Steve very dissatisfied.

On the one hand Rose had to do his best to please Steve; but on the other hand, Steve’s charisma attracted Rachel and Monica, even Chandler and Joey also admired Steve, which put Rose in a dilemma of isolation and helplessness.

Later, Steve and Rachel dated, but after the date everyone discovered that Steve is not as charming as he looks, and he is actually very unconfident deep in his heart. After opening his heart to Rachel, he revealed that his childhood nickname was "coward", howling and crying, and even threw himself into Chandler's arms for help.

It can be said that the screenwriter has taken many considerations into account. He has compiled a very credible background and character for Hugo’s cameo role, and has also put a lot of effort in humor, allowing Hugo to show both before and after Steve. The difference not only gives Hugo space to play his acting skills, but also gives a lot of space to showcase Hugo's comedy talents-of course, the premise is that Hugo can let go, drop the burden, and truly integrate into comedy.

Otherwise, such a difficult role would only be a disaster.

Hugo tried not to allow himself to analyze many details of the role of Steve, but to relax and completely relax, let the whole emotions slowly substitute into the style of "Friends", and then he heard standing next to him. Kevin said, "Hugo, it's your turn."
