Hugo has known Peter for more than ten years. When he was filming the "Dead Poetry Society", Hugo was very impressed. Peter is a kind but absolutely strict teacher. His strictness is not fierce. He rarely knows how to do it. He scolded people with a straight face, and more often just taught in a persuasive manner, but he rarely praised the actor because he was very demanding. In the impression, only Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke could get him. Compliments.

During the filming of "Death Poetry Society", Peter praised Hugo twice. He believed that Hugo was a very talented and spiritual actor, but the biggest shortcoming was that he did not have systematic education and lacked a little in-depth study. The hard work, so many scenes feel that the performance is very good, but there is always a little spark. This made Peter very frustrated with the conspiracy of the conspiracy of the Three Kingdoms.

Hugo did not expect that, eighteen years later, when he and Peter worked together again, he won such a high praise. This can be said to be a coveted moment, as if back to childhood, just because of a sentence from the teacher in the school. Compliment is full of joy, enough to light up the whole day.

As the years go by, they have all made many changes unconsciously, but the only thing that remains unchanged may be their love of movies.

Hugo's ridicule amused everyone and concealed the turbulent emotions in his heart. Then he walked to the monitor and said, "Peter, can I watch the replay of the scene just now?" Peter cast a puzzled look, because he I feel that this scene can be said to be perfect, and there is no need for repeated confirmation. Hugo had to explain, "In the course of my performance, I used more plot performances to interpret, digging out Truman’s heart. , But in fact, I think there is still a little spark in the comedy. After all, I am not good at it. So I want to watch the replay to confirm whether my feeling is correct, and if it is, then where is the deviation?"

For comedy, Hugo is still too strange, even with the guest experience of "Friends". So, just as Hugo has been trying to figure out the walking posture of Truman, now Hugo is also trying to give more comic color to the small details of daily life, not deliberately funny or funny, just to make the irony comedy effect not. Revealed.

Peter raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why don't I know when you started to have perfectionism?" Hugo was stunned by this ridiculous remark, and then he laughed. In fact, he didn't know it was from When I started, I became more and more engaged and focused during the performance.

A group of people gathered together and watched the playback on the monitor. Hugo carefully watched his performance. It was obvious that the emotions during the performance were very abundant, but his physical movements seemed too much. It’s too normal, "Look, if you increase the pace a little bit here, then bend your knees slightly, and your feet are slightly inward, the same action will have a different effect..." Hugo put his hands on his chest. , Communicated with Peter in a low voice.

Although Peter said "the performance of this scene is perfect", everyone knows that there is no perfection in this world, especially for performances-there is no standard answer. The reason why Peter thinks Hugo just performed a wonderful performance It's wonderful, because Hugo's emotional expression is not only abundant but also in place, without any exaggeration, which is absolutely one of the few in Hollywood. However, with careful and repeated adjustments, Hugo can show more different effects in the performance.

"Do you want to add some dramatic effects?" Peter immediately understood Hugo's intentions. The increase in dramatic effects can often bring different feelings. A little dramatic element will show a comedy ironic effect, but if it is too much, it will bring different feelings. Will become pretentious, even exaggerated and deliberate. "Are you going to give it a try?" Peter is still a little worried, because this proportional control is very difficult, and even a master of comedy must consider it over and over again.

Kim Carey’s performance is to deliberately increase the dramatic effect, presenting a comedic effect in an exaggerated posture. This is very difficult, but not the most difficult. The most difficult thing is to keep a proper measure. For example, Billy Christo and Robin Williams, their comedies are like this. They are easy to play, talk and laugh, and comedies can be changed. Into a kind of wisdom.

Hugo is a good actor, but not a good comedian, Peter's worries are not unreasonable.

Hugo pointed to the screen, "Look, I can deliberately slow down the movement here, similar to the effect after the picture is slowed down, but the surrounding scenery changes at a normal speed, and the contradictory contrast effect will It’s very prominent.” In fact, Hugo has been studying the script of "Trumen’s World" for a long time, so he has a steady stream of thoughts in his mind, but he doesn’t know if it can be accurately expressed, "I don’t know if I can. Do it." Hugo also heard the worries in Peter's words, "but always try and see, don't you? This is my job."

If you don't try, don't break your own habits, and don't step out of your own security realm, you will only stand still forever.

"But don't you worry that the dramatic effect will be too exaggerated and become grandiose?" Nicole's voice came over, and Hugo looked back and found that Nicole, Alex and others were standing next to them, with them Watch the playback on the monitor.

Hugo nodded earnestly, "Of course I am worried, so I will try my best." If it is too exaggerated, it will imitate Kim Carey, and it will change "Trumen's World" from a comedy. Becoming a farce, whether it is the former or the latter, is not the situation that Hugo hopes to appear, the great demon Monkey King. Read the full text.

"Why did you think of having an electrician's buttocks?" Nicole suddenly asked curiously. I didn't want this question to make everyone around me look at him curiously. Alex even nodded his head repeatedly, expressing his gratitude to Nicole. Recognition.

Hugo laughed, "Don't you think this is childish?" It is precisely because this kind of prank is too childish, and it is in line with Truman's personality traits that Hugo would do this. It was as if Truman wanted to make some unexpected movements to break the balance, but he was kind-hearted by nature, but he didn't know how to make trouble, so he could only close his eyes and rush. That childish prank is also the reason.

Hugo only said such a sentence, others just laughed at it, but Nicole and Alex fell into contemplation-Hugo gave them too much inspiration on the character sculptures, as far as they can understand How much depends on their talent and spirituality.

Hugo talked with Peter lowly for a while, watched the replay five times repeatedly, and straightened out many details. Hugo thought about it carefully, and then reinvested in the shooting.

However, this time Hugo's shooting did not seem so smooth, not only because of the problem of proper measurement, but also because of the problem of comedy. I took seven consecutive shots, three of which were ng, and four were successfully completed, but the finished product was not satisfactory to Hugo. On the contrary, he felt that he was beginning to be restrained. Not only was there no sparks, but even the fullness of emotions did not appear. Too stable, the whole scene is not coherent.

This did not make Hugo panic, because he also knew that he was exploring a whole new kind of unknown territory. In order not to waste the film, Hugo motioned for everyone to rest for half an hour. He thought carefully and sorted out all the chaotic thoughts.

After calming down, Hugo realized that he had been thinking about not using too much force, but it was precisely this kind of thought that restrained his performance; instead, he tried to avoid imitating Kim Carey, and on the contrary, he lost his own understanding and understanding of comedy. Characteristics; trying to show the dramatic comedic effect, but lost the rhythm and the complete imbalance, the performance also lost the standard.

This situation Hugo hasn't appeared for a long, long time, which makes Hugo laugh and cry, but also quite miss it.

Therefore, Hugo began to let his brain completely empty, not to think about Truman's personality, nor to think about the expression of comedy, but to completely relax himself, according to his own foundation. Being able to perform-the humor he usually shows in talk shows and reporter interviews is a kind of foundation. can.

After half an hour, I went back to filming.

Hugo still needs to continue to run in, the performance is still not smooth, but has gradually caught the charm. After taking four shots repeatedly, Peter gave Hugo a thumbs up and a bright smile appeared on his face. After Hugo approached, Peter patted Hugo on the shoulder. Although he didn't say anything, he agreed But his attitude couldn't be more obvious.

Just now Peter was worried that Hugo could not control the rhythm, but the facts proved Hugo's talent. He not only controlled his performance very well, but the effect of the shooting was even better than the first time. Even better, the bitterness with humorous irony effect is simply amazing. It is exactly the effect "Trumen's World" hopes to achieve.

"Before, some people told Shirley that they always thought that Kim Carey was more suitable than you to play a comedy. Now it seems that if it weren't for you, this work might not have reached such a high level." etc. After Peter left, screenwriter Andrew Nicole stood beside him with a big smile.

"Trumen's World" is not only a drama movie, nor a comedy movie, but a black reality comedy movie, lack of any element will be a pity. And Hugo's natural performance successfully reached Andrew's ideal state of perfection.

Hugo didn't have any pride this time, because he knew that this was just the beginning, "Then let us pray that the subsequent shooting will be so smooth." Then Hugo saw Alec standing beside him nervously. Si, couldn't help laughing, "It's your turn to play this scene, are you ready?"

After all the scenes were confirmed just now, Truman ran across the street to look for Ma Long, so the situation that Alex was worried about finally came. Alex looked at Hugo depressed, not even the strength to get angry, "Do you think I'm ready?"
