Curtis wanted to scold someone, he had already stood up, but seeing everyone in the audience applauded, he couldn't help but laughed when he stood still, and finally shook his head, and he took the initiative to applaud. On the contrary, the scene note standing next to him was at a loss: when should it end?

Of course, the most innocent people are Hugo and Kevin. The performance was well performed, and in the end, only the director was left shouting "card", and the scene could end. But now being disrupted like this, it is very likely that the whole scene will have to be filmed again.

The feeling of the scene just now is very right. The aura of the two people fit together completely. From the rehearsal to the official shooting, the two people have been brewing for nearly 20 minutes before and after the shooting. This was fully and vividly played during the shooting. Extreme. But it was precisely because the two people played well that this led to the applause, which undermined the sense of integrity of the scene. So, should we be thankful for this perfection just now, or should we dislike this kind of perfection? This feeling is really dumbfounding.

In the end, Hugo and Kevin could only look at each other helplessly, and both seemed at a loss for each other. Obviously, after so many years of filming, I have encountered various accidents, and today I have added a new emergency situation.

After the applause was over, Heath was still extremely excited, his eyes widened, and he jumped up and down in front of Russell, "Wow, did you see it just now? Did you see it? Hugo's eyes have changed, completely. It's changed, it's a completely different person! Have you seen it?"

Seeing Heath's excitement, Russell's reproach was not easy to say anymore. Charlize next to him also chuckled and laughed, "Of course, of course. Remember? We are all on the scene."

Performance is indeed a very wonderful art. It has some basic methods for training, but more often it requires a kind of talent, a kind of insight and a kind of aura. Only by seeing and experiencing it with your own eyes can you feel the tension and courage of the performance. The powerful aura is enough to shock the soul.

Charlize and Russell also seemed very excited, and started discussing with Heath.

"Guys," Curtis walked over with a helpless expression, making the three people stop talking, "I know you are very excited, believe me, I am more excited than you. But this is not Broadway, we need to use The camera recorded the moment just now."

At this time, Heath also realized his amateur performance just now, and repeatedly apologized to Curtis. Curtis could only smile, turned and left, but the three of them stood there, exchanged their sights, and burst into laughter.

Curtis walked up to Hugo and Kevin and said apologetically, "Maybe the whole scene just now needs to be repeated..." The main reason is that the two people's performances were done in one go, and the whole atmosphere was perfect. , So he still hopes to be able to start from scratch, but this is very demanding for the two actors, almost equivalent to asking them to copy their own play.

However, before Curtis explained, Hugo shrugged, "Okay, no problem." Then he looked at Kevin on the opposite side, and he said, "If you need it." For the actors. Said that shooting the same scene over and over is the basic equipment, and adjusting the state is one of their compulsory courses.

So crisp and neat, on the contrary, Curtis was a little bit silly, but he still showed a smile, "I'm really sorry for the accident just now, and everything else is perfect, really good." He expressed it again. After admiring, Curtis turned and walked back behind the monitor.

Hugo narrowed his smile, pressed his lips lightly, and looked at Kevin intently, "It seems that I need to ask you to help me again." That calm speaking style is obviously Ed's feeling.

Kevin raised his eyebrows, raised his ears, and curled his lips, leaving a sentence, "Look at my mood." Then he turned around and took off his suit again and sat back behind the desk.

After returning to filming, the performance of the two actors showed some fine-tuning. Ed stood opposite Jack's desk, leaned on the edge of another desk, supported his body with his hands, and seemed to hide his legs. There was a slight trembling-but in fact, Ed’s legs were not visible in the camera; Jack flipped through the drawer and found a stack of chips and flipped them in his palm. The whole control situation became more leisurely and surplus. Obviously, but in the second half, he began to play with his chips unconsciously, but it also revealed the ups and downs of his heart.

These subtle adjustments do not enter the lens most of the time, so there is no impact on the audience. But when you really stand next to the set watching, they have different ideas, because the performance is a whole, and everything on and off is part of the performance. Those details that cannot be captured by the lens can make the whole character complete. This also makes the part that is actually recorded by the lens more real and more moving.

Whether it is Charlize, Russell or Heath, they have benefited a lot after watching this scene. Until this scene was filmed and the next two scenes were filmed, they still did not fully recover. The three of them still concentrated on savoring what they had just felt.

"Russell, Russell-Crow! God the hell, the end is your part, what are you doing in the stairwell!" The staff turned upside down looking for Russell, only to find that Russell was hiding in the narrow space under the stairs. It was like Quasimodo, which shocked people.

Russell walked out of the small space and shook his head, "I'm looking for the feeling of being tall." This is how Russell was inspired by Hugo.

In fact, Russell is not tall. He is even about an inch shorter than Hugo. However, in the original novel, the character of Bud is the strongest figure in the entire police station. Therefore, Russell tried to find that kind of sturdy feeling. , I hope to create this sense of rampage in body language such as steps and movements.

Before the filming of the crew started, Russell tried to live in a cramped apartment to find this feeling, but during the performance, he always felt that there was a lack of fire. After watching the show showdown between Hugo and Kevin today, Russell had a flash of inspiration and found Such a clumsy but effective method.

"Sorry, I forgot the time." Russell walked up quickly, but the scene of the scene still in his mind, even if more than three hours have passed, it is still lifelike.

In fact, not only for more than three hours, in the next few days, Russell has been carefully observing the performances of Hugo and Kevin. Almost every performance can give Russell different inspirations. He has a new understanding of performance. Russell felt that he had opened the door to a whole new world, his performance style had improved, and he couldn't wait to show off his skills.

However, when he really stood in front of Hugo to perform a rivalry, Russell felt his hands and feet bound, as if a man full of strength was covered in woolen hands and feet. Not only was he unable to let go of his hands and feet, he was even too clumsy to look directly at him. That kind of huge drop feeling almost defeated Russell, even standing in front of the camera was a little at a loss. Russell still hasn't improved after six consecutive games in this rivalry, which made him feel a deep sense of frustration.

"Curtis, give us five minutes, okay?" After another ng, Hugo raised his voice and said that Curtis naturally had no objection and signaled the entire crew to rest for five minutes.

"I'm sorry, Hugo, I'm really sorry." Russell rubbed his cheeks annoyedly, almost afraid to look at Hugo's eyes. In the past few days, he felt that he was like a sponge. He was constantly absorbing new knowledge. During the performance, he also felt free and confident. He had built up his confidence bit by bit. He even felt that the "L.A. Confidential" might be The most important turning point in his career as an actor. But now... standing in front of Hugo, he is so vulnerable.

Hugo chuckled slightly, "If you really feel sorry, you should look at me now instead of hiding behind your own hands." Hugo's words were relaxed with a little humor, but there was nothing. He evasively accused Russell, which made Russell raise his head quickly, and looked at Hugo dejectedly, "Russell, you are a very good actor. First of all, you must believe this."

Russell shrugged, noncommittal, but there was a negative attitude in his eyes.

Hugo pondered for a while, and thought for a while, "I heard Charlize and Heath say You have been discussing acting recently? This is a good thing. I always think acting is a very complicated thing. It’s a struggle between the actor and the actor, but it still needs to return to the actor.” Hugo’s words made Russell a little relaxed, but his shoulders were still tight. “I’m here. Now I am very keen to communicate with other actors. This is a very pleasant process."

Hugo has been thinking about Russell’s performances in the past few days, including the hands and feet in the scene just now. He can feel that Russell is actually trying to learn the performance methods of him and Kevin, using detailed sculpture methods to make the characters become Three-dimensional. In fact, this is correct, because when the performance level reaches a certain level, it is impossible to continue to open and close, and there is always a need for details. But the problem is that every actor has his own style. Even with the same detailed description, there is a big gap between Hugo and Kevin's performance methods and performance content.

Russell only understands the surface, without in-depth understanding, and simply wants to dig out the details, but it blurs Russell's own style. In fact, at the peak of his acting skills, Russell was bold and unrestrained in his exquisite and soft performance style, but the point is that Russell’s overall style is relatively exaggerated. So, if Russell wants to be like Hugo or Kevin, then he has chosen the wrong direction.

"However, communication does not mean learning, because acting cannot be replicated. I think you should be aware of this."
