Chapter 37: Acting learning

In the past, Hugo learned to perform by watching movies. The first time I watched it, I just watched the movie, but when I watched the second and third times, he would gradually begin to analyze the plot, shooting techniques, etc. Performance is naturally one of them. Hugo would be accustomed to imitating the performance of actors to figure out the role, and even imagined that he was a member of the big screen, standing in the position of an actor to perform this role.

In the process of imitating acting skills, Al Pacino is naturally one who cannot be ignored. Hugo not only imitated Al's performance in "The Godfather", but also will not miss this famous "Scent of a Woman" After years of precipitation, Al’s performance has achieved a big explosion in this movie, and the full-strength acting skills will be violent, conceited, depressed, and good. The brilliant, upright and sympathetic Lieutenant Colonel Slade’s brilliant performances are enough to leave a place in the long river of history.

  Relatively speaking, the space left for Charlie's role is relatively narrow, and many comments even think that "Smelling a Woman" is Al Pacino's one-man show. But in fact, the young actor Chris O'Donnell who played the role of Charlie in history also won a lot of praise. A brilliant performance. Of course, what really gave Chris O'Donnell a foothold in the entertainment industry was the TV series "Navy Crime Investigation Service: Los Angeles (NCIS: Los Angeles that was broadcast more than two decades later.

   Therefore, the work "Smelling Fragrance and Knowing Women" is an opportunity and a challenge for Hugo. It is not so easy for Hugo to not lose himself in front of Al Pacino’s powerful atmosphere. It is not so easy to play Charlie, because Charlie is not a domineering personality, let alone a selfish personality. Lieutenant Colonel Reid was on par. But conversely, Hugo also got the opportunity to play with Al. The close contact allowed Hugo to further learn acting.

After the filming started, almost every scene required both Hugo and Al to play at the same time. Hugo could clearly see Al easily grasped the rhythm of the performance in his hands. This is a kind of inexpressible language. The feeling that comes out is that I will unconsciously follow Al’s performance rhythm when acting, and then emotions will be mobilized by Al’s words, gestures, and movements, and then show the shots the director needs.

   This feeling is very strange. On the one hand, it seems that Al is guiding him to act, but on the other hand, it seems that he has lost himself in front of Al, which makes Hugo seem a little struggling.

However, this kind of struggling state brought out Hugo’s best performance, because the relationship between Charlie and Slade in the movie was also the same, which invisibly made Hugo quickly enter the state. Making the shooting progress has been showing a gratifying situation.

   For Hugo, filming is important, but exploring acting is also important. He is now thinking carefully about Al’s performance in the scene just now. Today the entire crew was filming in the lobby of the Pierre Hotel (Pierre. Hotel) on Fifth Avenue. This scene is one of the most classic scenes in "Scent of a Woman". Lieutenant Colonel Slade took the first meeting with him. Donna performed a **** tango in the hotel lobby. This scene is also one of the most unforgettable scenes in movie history: it is very rare for blind people to dance tango, and the lieutenant colonel also vividly demonstrated the elegance and sexiness of tango. It’s even more rare when it comes out.

The actor who plays the stunning beauty in the movie is the British actress Gabrielle Anwar (Gabrielle. Anwar) who just entered Hollywood last year. In fact, Hugo is not familiar with Gabriel, because although she was in the nineties The time exposure rate is very high, but most of Hugo's works have not been seen, and her most famous work is this "Scent of a Woman". But this does not prevent Hugo from admiring Gabriel when he sees Gabriel. The exquisite facial features, long smooth hair, and soft lips are just a meeting.

In the scene that just ended the filming, even if there are three people, Hugo, Gabriel and Al, the rhythm of the acting is still firmly in Al’s hands. It is not so easy for Hugo to try to find his own rhythm. This made Hugo couldn't help but review every detail of Al's filming just now in his mind, trying to find a clue.

   When Al was acting, he had a totally natural feeling. There was no deliberate carving, no trace of careful design, everything was so natural, as if Lieutenant Colonel Slade should be so general at this moment. How is this done? Even if Hugo tries to imitate, it can even imitate 80% similarity, but only the appearance is similar but not the gods. The essence of the whole performance is not grasped, which is really elusive.

Hugo’s thinking was interrupted by the elegant tango music in the hall. He knew that the next scene was about to start filming. Only then did Hugo realize that he couldn’t even do the appearance, but he had already begun to think about the appearance. It's as if you can't walk, you start to imagine yourself running. Hugo couldn't help but smiled, and was temporarily put away by the mixed thoughts in his heart, and raised his head to watch the filming of this classic scene.

The music used in this play is the famous tango. The "One Step Away (Por. Una. Cabeza, which came out in 1935, is known as one of the most extreme representatives of Tango because of its noble and moving melody. The joy and enthusiasm of tango appears as if a lover is whispering.

At this time, the rehearsal was over. Al took Gabriel and stood at the end of the dance floor. After Martin's "start shooting", the lieutenant colonel gently brought Donna into his arms and placed her on his left hand around his waist. He placed it on his right shoulder, and then took a step in the graceful melody.

   I saw the lieutenant colonel stepping cautiously. The steps were not great, but there was no jerkyness. Donna's tension from the beginning gradually entered the state. With the music dancing, the smile on her face showed involuntarily. Feeling the relaxation of Donna's muscles, the expression on the Lieutenant Colonel's face became more and more focused, and sometimes a bright smile appeared, but then he once again devoted himself to the music, as if this was the best moment in the world.

The lieutenant colonel was quietly tapping with the tip of his tongue. People who were not familiar with him could not realize that the lieutenant colonel could not see it, but vaguely began to feel the slightly restrained steps of the lieutenant colonel, which revealed him. The fact that his world is in darkness.

However, the lieutenant colonel did not let this little difficulty hinder the tango under his footsteps. The pace of moving clouds and flowing water accompanied the ups and downs of the melody to unfold freely on the small dance floor. The perfect combination of dance and music made Donna completely relaxed. The silver bell-like laughter shuttled back and forth among the strings of "a step away", which made the Lieutenant Colonel's slightly stiff face reveal a touch of tenderness that was not easily detectable.

   Watching this scene, Hugo’s eyes were moistened inexplicably. He was moved by the concentrated happiness on the Lieutenant Colonel’s face. He clearly remembered that the Lieutenant Colonel was so eager to have someone by his side, and he treated the girl. The obsession with **** also revealed the loneliness of the heart, and at this moment, the scent of Ogilvie Sisters Soap (Ogilvie. Sisters. Soap) on Gabriel's body and the clearest laughter of the innocent girl made the lieutenant colonel’s solemn face appear. Smiled. Happiness is so simple, Hugo just feels that his heart is suddenly filled with an inexplicable emotion.

At the same time, the smile at the corner of Hugo’s mouth was outlined, because the light but slightly arduous steps of the lieutenant colonel were so graceful. Maybe he is not a skilled tango dancer, but at this moment he is the most infectious. A powerful dancer, enjoying the beauty of music with Donna's soft body, carefully protecting Donna, who was exposed to Tango for the first time in her life, this gentleness releases the softest happiness in Donna's heart. Tango is said to be a secret dance between lovers, pervading the tacit understanding of gestures between dancers. At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Ming is invisible. Lieutenant Colonel Ming Ming and Donna have just met, but this tango is beautiful. It's fascinating.

   After the dance ended, Martin called out "Ka", he walked up to Al and Gabriel and began to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the filming just now~www.wuxiahere.com~ The filming of this scene did not end so quickly. But Hugo still did not wake up from the play, he was completely immersed in Alna's wonderful interpretation.

Al not only performed the lieutenant colonel’s blindness perfectly, his nervous, cautious, and cautious steps were calm, so that others could not see it, but at the same time, he conveyed the message in a delicate manner; at the same time, Al also drove it through his own dance. , Gabriel was easily substituted into the acting state. The smile, voice, and actions perfectly met the director’s requirements, and even surprised the audience. In addition, Al Na’s delicate expression had no traces of carving at all, Hugo just watched , You can feel the inner complexity, joy, happiness, worry, concentration... this fusion of emotions makes the role of lieutenant colonel silently three-dimensional.

It is hard to imagine that this is the shock brought by a scene, and after Martin shouted "card", Al still did not come out of the state of "blindness", and his godless eyes still couldn't see anyone. , This is the real acting skill, which makes it impossible to separate this role from the actor, and it can influence other actors to bring them into the drama.

   Watch Al’s performance up close and experience this perfect tango performance on the spot. Hugo’s inner shock is unparalleled. This is the highest goal of an actor and the direction Hugo has been striving for.

Therefore, Hugo’s eyes are moist; therefore, the corners of Hugo’s mouth are curved; therefore, when Martin’s "card" sounded, Hugo stood up without any hesitation, agitated his hands vigorously, with The applause expresses the excitement in the heart. This is for the wonderful tango just now, as well as for the great actor Al Pacino.
