Truman-Burbank’s optimistic spirit has become the most shining sun in the dark reality drama "Trumen's World", injecting a kind of humor into the whole story.

This reminds Hugo of the previous chat with Helen Hunter about comedy performance. Helen always believes that comedy needs performance-based acting skills, not method-based acting skills. Because the method school pays attention to the personalities and thoughts that the characters have grown up under the background of the whole life, but before digging into the hearts of the characters, the comedy film must first make the audience laugh, whether it is tears in a laugh or forgetting after a laugh, or It’s not just hilarious, smiles are the top priority of comedy performances—all that is needed is expressive acting skills, and the most accurate way to give life to the performance at the correct time.

Kim Carey’s exaggeration is undoubtedly the most popular comedy style in the past two years, and Billy Christo’s sharpness has made him a master of language and humor. These two actors have injected souls into the performance in their own way. , And then make the characters come alive, and finally make the story have a sense of humor.

One can cite an improper and inaccurate example. In recent years, Kim Carey has starred in several movies with different stories, different styles, different contents, and different roles, but when you really watch the movies, they seem to be the same character. Wearing different masks to interpret different stories-that is, the same. This is true from "Ghosts in Disguise" to "Big Talker", from "Detective Plane Head" to "Dumb and Gua".

This is a disaster for a feature film. People may call it facial paralysis, only repeating themselves. But for comedy movies, it is a strong personal style, so that the movie is labeled with a strong personal mark, and changing any actor to appear cannot achieve such an effect.

Imagine that the exaggerated, cunning and mischievous character in "Ghost in Disguise" is replaced by an actor? Another person will play that simple, dumb, simple and lustful character in "Dumb and Gua"? It will be a disaster, and even the entire movie will be destroyed.

It can be said that Kim Carey has made these comedy movies. His unique performance method has injected a completely different energy into the movie. This effect cannot be achieved by changing to any actor.

This is also the reason why a comedian is a rare encounter, because it is definitely not an easy task to meet a comedian with a strong personal style. Pretending to be ugly, spoofing, and imitating is just a medium to amuse the audience. As long as the script is excellent, any actor who does not hesitate to image can be competent, but the style of comedy is not. It needs acting skills, acting talent, and even more comedy savvy.

Challenge Kim Kerry's version of "Trumen's World"? Perform "Trumen's World" in accordance with the performance style of Kim Carey in my mind? This is a shortcut, Hugo knows it, but he hasn't done it a long time ago. He wants to figure out his own comedy style. He wants to try to use expressionist performances to drive methodist performances. This is him. A new challenge on the road of acting.

Just now Hugo has completely constructed Truman's life in his mind. This is the category of Methodology, and it is also the part that Hugo is most familiar with. So, how should he show it? How should he find his own way? What is his comedy style?

In fact, over the years, everyone has praised Hugo for his sense of humor. Even in the period after the Golden Raspberry Awards, Hugo’s appearance on talk shows has been praised many times, not to mention when dealing with reporters. Many people think that Hugo’s humor is a kind of talent.

However, Hugo does not know where his humor comes from. This is the biggest difference between him and comedians. He has not really studied the methods of comedy performance, nor has he really experienced the process of comedy performance, which is different from other works. And intoxication, comedy needs a little extra spark, a little extra "Hugo".

Hugo couldn't help but think of the time when he played "Friends". In a completely relaxed situation, Hugo played freely and completely collided with a group of partners. This even won an extra Emmy for Hugo. This is not only an unexpected surprise, but also proves that Hugo does have comedy and talent.

Self-deprecating.

Hugo is always very good at self-deprecating, which is almost a skill that every comedian has I don't mind other people's criticism of him, and will fight back at the most accurate time, accurately and effectively hit the opponent's weakness, and when people are caught off guard, humor will come to life.

This is a wise, relying on the wisdom fermented by time precipitation and brewing, Hugo has experienced such an incredible event as a journey through, and has experienced such an absurd and funny event as the Golden Raspberry Award, let alone Chen Hugo’s ten years of underground rock and roll Life and the life of Lancaster actors for ten years have given Hugo more wisdom in life, let him have this calmness, and let him have this open-mindedness.

Just as exaggeration is to Kim Carey, sharp to Billy Christo, playful to Robin Williams, elegance to Steve Martin (steve.), and grass roots to Charlie Chap. Lin, triviality is to Jerry Seinfeld, humiliation is to Eddie Murphy... these seemingly ordinary characteristics have been carried forward in their talents and have become a means of comedy. Their comedy style injects sparks and vitality into the movie story.

Self-deprecating and wise are the same for Hugo. He has experienced things that no one can imagine, and his achievements are also unimaginable. The most important thing is the commonality between him and Truman. It is also beyond the reach of other people. He can inject these trivial little qualities into the performance, making Truman real and alive, and at the same time making the story humorous and relaxed.

Stopped the pace of moving on aimlessly, turned his head and saw the drugstore on the street, and tried to make a suitable gesture in front of the huge mirror at the door.

Hugo thought about it for a while, then slightly lifted his chest, opened his shoulders, and raised his chin slightly. The whole person looked full of energy, and the vigorous fighting spirit was transmitted from every line of the body, and the vigor and vitality could come from every Feeling in the small motion, he tried to lift his right hand-originally the hand was placed in front of the right of the eye, but found that the height did not seem to be enough, so he lifted it slightly, then lifted it again, and then forcefully With a wave, the smile at the corner of his mouth bloomed like this, and the snow-white teeth showed seven neatly and perfectly—no, nine should be revealed, which would make the smile more silly.

But... why does this look of Truman look so familiar?

Hugo kept a bright smile and said, "Good morning, in case I can't see you, so...good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"

Seeing his indistinct reflection in the glass, Hugo thought for a while, and then suddenly woke up. Isn't this the Truman Burbank played by Kim Carey?

Among the golden version of Trumen, his bright and innocent smile is undoubtedly the most impressive. In fact, it continues the performance style of Jin personal. He has appeared in previous movies such a smile with a neat upper jaw. His nine teeth are completely revealed, and some gums can even be seen, which looks incredibly brilliant. At the same time, it also carries a trace of childlike stupidity and comic-style exaggeration, so that all the audience can't help but draw a smile together.

The slightly deliberately exaggerated and magnified body language is to adulten the childish innocence and innocence, which makes Jin's performance always permeated with a factor that makes people unable to resist a smile, combined with Jin's exaggerated expressions and expressions. With puppy-like eyes, it only takes one appearance to win everyone's laughter-and at the same time, there is an extremely deep impression.

Hugo let out a long sigh and resumed his actions. Now for him, imitation is not a problem at all. He can always easily capture the characteristics and highlights of the imitation object, and then copy the model-this can be regarded as a comedy. An actor must have basic skills, but it is not very helpful for Hugo's comedy performance, because he does not want to imitate the classic version of Jin.

Closed his eyes and thought for a while, Hugo did not open his eyes, but made this greeting again according to the image in his mind. Hugo thought that this was the most true Truman performance in his heart. But when I opened my eyes, it was still the golden version of Truman, which made Hugo a little discouraged. He hasn't encountered this kind of clueless confusion for several years-not even in the bottleneck period.

But just when Hugo was about to put down his arm he noticed something abnormal, so Hugo lowered his elbow slightly, and then put it down a little more, matching the position of his head and shoulders. Evolve to be different, and finally find the most appropriate position.

The figure in the glass raised his right hand and actively raised his elbow, but it did not exceed the shoulder line. It just seemed that the whole beckoning movement had become very formal and polite, but it was not too exaggerated; the shoulders spread, The spine is straight, and the whole person is like a tall pine, but he did not deliberately raise his chest, but stood in place with the most perfect model hanger posture. The gentleman's temperament exuding from the inside out was outlined in the body language little by little. Come out; a smile was drawn at the corner of his mouth, calm and calm-Hugo thought about it, then pulled the smile apart, revealing seven teeth, a perfect and elegant smile, and then laughed softly, that There are some immature smiles in the splendor, and the elegance of the whole person seems a little bit unsuitable, as if... it's like putting a twelve-year-old soul in a thirty-year-old body, but this twelve-year-old soul The year-old soul behaved very well, not in the slightest to make people feel wrong, just with a little bit of irony.

Immediately afterwards, Hugo waved his hand gently, humble and polite but not innocent and immature, that white smile like white paper under the sun is like a jasmine blooming slowly, with a delicate fragrance but not aggressive, "Good morning , In case I can't see you... so good afternoon, good evening, and good night!"
