The shooting of "L.A. Confidential" made Hugo absolutely unable to relax his vigilance, especially the particularity of Ed's character. He needed to break the audience's fixed impression of Hugo when he appeared on the stage, so that the audience hated Ed, and The most difficult reason is that the opening part does not have a breaking point or a point of borrowing, so Hugo can only rely on his performance skills to achieve this goal.

Therefore, after a whole day of shooting, Hugo's spirit is completely tense, and there is almost no moment of relaxation. Just like a duck on the lake, it looks leisurely and comfortable on the surface, but under the water, it is rowing desperately.

However, this feeling of tension to the extreme has really been a long time since Hugo once again felt the joy of the performance process. The biggest difference from the tightness during the filming of "Death Row" is that Hugo is now more comfortable and controlled, and the line between reality and drama is clear again. Therefore, after the shooting, although the spirit was very tired, Hugo was in a happy mood.

"Hugo, Hugo..." Charlize's voice came from behind, and Hugo and Russell and Heath who were walking side by side also stopped one after another, "Are you going to go back now?"

Hugo shook his head, "No, Curtis will discuss with me about the grouping of tomorrow's shooting. We will be divided into three groups for shooting. Do you know about this?"

"I know." Charlize nodded in affirmation, "I just watched your filming, and I have some questions I want to ask you. We will talk about it later when you are free."

Hugo looked at Russell and Heath beside him, smiled and patted their arms, "Okay, you go back first. See you tomorrow." Then Russell and Heath said goodbye to Charlize one after another, and left together. police. Investigation bureau. Hugo looked back at Charlize with a puzzled look, and explained, "Russell is asking me about the reasons for the previous scenes. He has his own understanding of acting, but it is a little different from Kevin and me, so It's still in the running-in period, and I hope to find a rhythm through communication."

Charlize reacted. It turned out that she was looking for Hugo for advice, just like them. She couldn't help but laughed, "Then you can start classes when you start."

"Are you sure you want to come to class?" Hugo said with a smile, causing Charlize to shake his head again and again with a smile on his face. In fact, Hugo has always known that he came from a non-major class. He can act well, but he does not necessarily teach well. Moreover, his method is different from other actors and cannot be taught by example. When discussing with friends like Leonardo and Charlize, Hugo shared his experience more than taught it.

Hugo turned his head and looked around, trying to find a place to sit down, but at this time all the staff were packing up props. It was a busy scene and there was no place to sit. Hugo simply walked outside the door with Charlize, and sat down on the steps next to the police station where it would not affect the entry and exit of others.

Charlize did not speak immediately, but looked at Hugo up and down. It seemed that he hadn't seen Hugo for several months. This made Hugo frowned and said seriously, "I need myself. Introduce?"

Charlize didn't show a smile. Instead, he thought about it carefully and nodded, "May I ask you?" This made Hugo choke and looked at Charlize dumbfounded. She then explained, "I To be honest, your state today is a bit weird. It feels like you are constantly changing between the two characters. On the surface, there is no difference, but it allows us to clearly distinguish whether it is Hugo or Ed."

"So, who am I now?" Hugo smiled at Charlize's suspicious look.

Charlize just scanned Hugo's eyes and the corners of his mouth seriously, and then decisively said, "Hugo." He raised his eyebrows without thinking about Hugo, and a slight smile was drawn at the corners of his mouth, which could be vaguely noticed. When he seemed to roll his tongue, his eyes flashed with contempt. "Ed Ashley!" Charlize screamed immediately. But then the smile on Hugo's mouth hooked up again, it seemed to bloom, and the sunlight in his eyes was gently released, which made Charlize patted his head annoyedly, "Damn God, this is not fun, rain fruit!"

It feels like a fantasy, how can a person change his temperament between talking and laughing, or even just relying on the subtle changes in smiles and eyes. But this is precisely Hugo’s current acting ability. He is not necessarily creating a completely unfamiliar image, but on the basis of his own image, by shaping the character’s personality and story, he develops the part of the character that belongs to the character. Finally, use accurate performance to convey this feeling.

The combination of method-based acting and performance-based acting, Hugo is still in preliminary exploration, but the initial results are already amazing.

It seems easy to describe, but in fact it requires more than a lot of performance experience, deep soul exploration, tireless attempts, and precise control of the performance. After the "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Convict Walk", Hugo had a first glimpse of the palace, and has not been able to see the whole picture so far. Today, "L.A. Confidential" can only be regarded as a small test.

Seeing Charlize's expression, Hugo laughed heartily, Charlize asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

Hugo spread his hands, "You always knew it, didn't you?" On the road of performances, their group of friends have been discussing and communicating with each other. It's just that everyone's talents are different, everyone's understanding is different, and the way and results of presentation are also different.

Charlize bit his lower lip and chewed it carefully. "But when I was thinking about the role of Lynn, compared with you, including Kevin and Russell, I always felt that I was missing something. It seemed ...A little spark is missing."

Hugo adjusted his sitting posture and assumed a serious listening posture. Without him speaking, Charlize went on to say, "The content of Lynn in the script is too little, and it even makes me feel a little bit unable to start."

"Perhaps, this means that there are more spaces for you, and there are more parts for you to play freely." Hugo's words made Charlize stunned, and then crossed his legs, supporting his right hand on his knee, thinly. Thinking about it, "If this is the case..."

"Can I think that Lynn became a prostitute. Girl, because the family has undergone tremendous changes, she needs money, for example, for her mother who is seriously ill in bed?" Charlize said hesitantly, after she finished talking. She raised her head and looked at Hugo, only to find that there was a look of suspicion hovering in Hugo's eyes, which made her frown slightly, "No, this is too cliché, and it has no connection with the story. Lynn seems to be drifting away from the story. outside."

"So... Lynn may be a smart and beautiful girl. She knows her own advantages and knows how to use her own advantages, so she came to Los Angeles and wanted to seek development opportunities. But she didn't want to meet Pierce. She was originally I thought it was an opportunity to succeed, but it became an opportunity for her to fall into a sea of ​​misery... No, with her ingenuity, if she wanted to leave, it was not impossible... Could it be that she still believed that she would stay in Hollywood? Have a chance?"

Charlize seemed to have forgotten that Hugo was next to him. He was talking about it by himself, and fell into thought while talking.

Hugo knows that the most difficult part of the method of acting is to rely on his own brain to build the entire character's life. This not only requires a wealth of experience, but also requires a real enough reference object. That's why Robert De Niro was only I will experience the life of a real taxi driver for months for a "taxi driver".

Charlize is still too young now, and it is inevitable that he will be inadequate when constructing the role. Seeing her stuck, Hugo reminded him, "Why did Lynn choose Bud instead of Ed?"

Charlize raised her head suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Perhaps, maybe she had been given the opportunity to leave, but because she believed in love and believed in men, she missed the opportunity after being betrayed! So, she met Bud Before, she was actually very sad, living in a muddle-headed life-no, she should be living and trying to get revenge on those bad men. She knows how to use men's greed and desire. Hope, she also knows how to use her own advantages to achieve goals, but In fact, deep down in her heart, she is still tired of this kind of life, and has been eager to have a...Oh, **** hell...There is a Prince Charming who can save herself outCharlize still doesn't believe in fairy tales, But she was going to play a prostitute with a fairy tale dream deep in her heart. Female character. Hugo laughed dumbly and said in a low voice, "Who knows, maybe the reason why you don't believe it is because you are afraid of disappointment, deep in your heart. , You also hope that fairy tales can become a reality. "

Charlize looked at Hugo in front of her, she was not sure, whether Hugo was helping her find the common ground between her and Lynn, or was she really analyzing her heart, which gave Charlize a moment of separation. God, but quickly reacted and focused on the role of Lynn, "So Bud's honesty and kindness attracted Lynn, not the ambitious, hypocritical and greedy Ed."

"Hey, I'm not a bad person, I'm just a idiot who insists on justice." Hugo's words did not cause Charlize to react at all, and he was simply ignored, which made him touch his nose depressed.

Charlize has gradually formed the entire system in his mind at this time. As Hugo said, the role of Lynn leaves her with a lot of space, but how can it be concentrated in the rare scenes? "Hugo, how did you do it? I'm serious, how did you grasp the details of the character so accurately, even before we realized it, the whole character came alive, as if... It seems that the character really exists."
