Superstar

Chapter 1923: Sad smile

When they saw Truman hit the electrician on the hip in a childish prank, everyone couldn't help but chuckled, and the extra actor who played as an electrician stiffened his back. He wanted to look back and see what happened. What happened, but when his head turned slightly, he remembered that he was shooting a movie and he shouldn’t have done anything that was not in the script, so he forced himself to turn his head back, pretending to be calm and continue to be "busy". Work.

This kind of abnormality that seems too normal-no one will be nothing after being hit on the hip by a stranger, but it coincides with the scene in the story: everyone in the entire town except Truman is Actors, they will not do anything that is not in the script, even if it is the perfect goddess who accidentally made me.

This cruel and clear reality made the smiles on the crew's faces stiff, and the unspeakable sadness and bitterness made people avoid their eyes and even couldn't bear to see Truman.

At this moment, Truman, who was plunged into the sun, turned his head and looked at the electrician who had been mischievous by himself. He found that the electrician was indifferent at all, as if he were a puppet, which made Truman run away. Suddenly stopped, standing on the edge of the street, dazed. Because he also realized that this normal scene was actually abnormal, the desolate back figure was completely wrapped in sunlight, like a child who has always lost his direction in the vast sea of ​​people, gradually blurred into one.

But... the staff at the scene couldn't tell whether it was the halo of sunlight or the mist of tears.

It was just a glance back and paused footsteps, and even the expression could not be seen clearly, but the stiff body and lonely back told all the stories.

The whole crew was quiet. Even the extras looked at Hugo standing on the side of the street at a loss. They didn’t know if they did it right or wrong—because they didn’t know the whole movie. What the story of the movie is about, no one got the script, but at this moment, they just looked at the "Trumen" in front of them, but clearly felt the surging loss and confusion, the faint sadness was like A big hand squeezed the heart fiercely, once and again.

This is not only the power of performance, but also the power of story, because Hugo completely revealed Truman's story through performance. Even if you don’t know the cause and effect of the script, even if you don’t know the ins and outs of the story, seeing Hugo's performance at this moment, you can deeply feel the turbulent emotions in Truman's heart, that little by little confusion of collapse is so vivid And cruelly staged before my eyes.

Especially those who know the whole story of "Trumen's World" have a deeper feeling at this time. As an ordinary viewer, they feel so deeply that "this show" is so cruel and terrifying, and the program team is using it. Their own hands tamper with and control a living being, while they are enjoying Truman's struggle and pain.

Seeing Truman’s vague figure in the sun, Alex actually had an idea: He hoped that Truman could pierce this deception. He hoped that Truman could break through this studio and come to the outside world. He hoped Truman can truly spread his arms to embrace freedom.

More importantly, in the bitterness, there is still a hint of dramatic humor, whether it is seeing Chumen standing in the center of the street like a superhero, or seeing Chumen rushing into the elevator like a child. The actions, or the final venting of slaps on the electrician’s buttocks... are all with an indescribable irony, which seems to be satirizing the whole story, and also seems to be satirizing Truman’s own actions, almost before he realizes it. The smile was already outlined at the corner of his mouth. But the real effect of "irony" is that the sorrow and hardship after a laugh is thought-provoking.

The smile on the corner of the mouth was outlined, but it was sad.

It's hard to imagine, it's just a scene, a scene with almost pitiful lines, relying entirely on Hugo's performance alone to support the scene, but it has brought such turbulent mood swings, almost "Trumen's world." The entire script is condensed in it, and the foreshadowing and advancement of the story is completed without knowing it, making people excitedly looking forward to the follow-up development.

Hugo waited for a long time and didn't wait for Peter Weir's "card". He could only continue to stand on the side of the street and show his inner confusion and loss vividly.

Trumen is innocent, but not stupid. On the contrary, Trumen's heart is so delicate and sensitive, and he knows everything that happens around him. It's just that Truman is unwilling to face it. He chose to hide those doubts deep in his heart. The reason is simple. He believes in his mother, he believes in his wife, he believes in his friends, he believes in the world...

Therefore, when Truman was sensitively aware that his world was falling apart bit by bit, the pain in his heart did not burst out all at once, but like a wound cut by a knife, slowly and deeply penetrated. It's like at this moment, Truman has already sensed the truth behind it-even saw it with his own eyes, but the simplicity of his heart still gives him a glimmer of hope: I hope that all this is just his random thoughts, and at the same time, his inner desire for freedom is still there. Constantly pushing him to dig out the truth, the kind of contradictory tearing and struggling, only Truman himself can savor the arrogant unparalleled.

Hugo stood in the center of the street like this, as if abandoned by the world, everyone focused on him, but it seemed that everyone had forgotten him.

The turbulent mood finally made Alex unable to bear it anymore, turning his head and turning his back to Hugo awkwardly, breathing heavily, calming down his terrible emotions; Nicole standing next to him still gracefully supported She held her chin, as if indifferent, but her eyes drooped slightly, and her long eyelashes covered her eyes, which well concealed the uncontrollable sadness in her heart.

Nicole finally truly felt the power of performance—different from the powerful force during script practice, as if there was an invisible hand behind it that pushed the story forward. This kind of experience cannot be felt in the cinema. This is also the biggest situation of the two art forms of film and stage play. Watching stage play performances on the spot makes people feel like an overwhelming emotion that hardly has any resistance to parry, but it is more dependent on it. Yu actor's performance.

"Ka!" Peter finally came to his senses. He heard the faintly wiping tears around him, and then realized that his eye sockets were also full of tears. He coughed slightly, and his hoarse voice raised again. Yelled, "Ka!" But this voice did not release the magic on the spot, everyone still stood there blankly, no one spoke, just silence, and speechless emotions were surging.

Hugo stood there and closed his eyes, exhaling a long breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions deep in his heart. Although he is now able to enter and play freely, "Trumen's World" is different, because there are too many similarities between him and Trumen. In the process of acting, Hugo is very easy. You can enter the play, but after entering the play, it seems that he and Truman have completely merged together, so that it is impossible to distinguish who is who.

This state is not the same as during the "Death Convict Walk" period. It is more that Hugo has substituted too much of his own emotions, which leads to the blurring of the boundaries.

In fact, this time, like "before sunrise", during the performance, it was more of Hugo's own characteristics. He tried to use expressive acting to drive the method of acting, and more often used the expressive way. In deduction, there will be many deliberately dramatic small movements in Truman's body movements, which are slightly exaggerated, more accurate, and more dramatic, giving more theatrical style.

But even so, Hugo was still lost in the role of Trumen, because he felt the same for all the experiences of Trumen, and he almost had an illusion-this is not "Trumen's world" but "Rain". Fruit world".

This mixed and turbulent mood is mixed. Hugo closed his eyes. He clearly knew that he was filming. He clearly knew that he should get out of the role of Truman. He clearly knew that he and Truman should not be confused. ... But even so, he still needs a little time to calm the turbulence in his heart.

This kind of performance experience is brand new. Compared with "Death Row" and "L.A. Confidential", Hugo can feel that he and the character are perfectly combined, but they are relatively independent. For an individual, "start shooting" and "card" are like two passwords, allowing Hugo to distinguish the script from reality~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But during the performance, the shock that invades the soul is even more turbulent. More powerful, almost reaching the level of the last death penalty scene of "Death Prisoner's Walk"-but this time Hugo can clearly distinguish the difference between the script and reality.

Hugo can feel it, he figured out some different things on the road of acting. Perhaps the fusion of the two performance methods of Expressionism and Methodism can continue to expand.

Opening his eyes again, Hugo looked around again. He didn't rush to move forward. Instead, he carefully looked at the amiable townspeople around him. They are so real-as real as if they existed, Hugo. He exhaled a long breath, and told himself deep in his heart: This is indeed true.

Then, Hugo stepped forward and walked in the direction of the monitor. Peter, Nicole, Alex and others all stood behind. A kind smile appeared on Peter's face, and he gave Hugo a thumbs up, "The scene just now was really brilliant, even if it was paused and reviewed frame by frame, there was absolutely no flaw!"

Peter’s words made Hugo’s cheeks slightly hot, and a smile was drawn at the corners of his mouth, but he couldn’t help avoiding his sight, "I think I should say thank you, but this is too arrogant, so I Decided to remain silent." One sentence made everyone laugh.
