The filming of the "Seven Deadly Sins" was not smooth. On the one hand, it was because Brad often fell into a trance and there was a little problem with the entire performance rhythm. More often, he needed Morgan or Hugo's guidance, which had a significant impact on the shooting progress; on the other hand, it was because after Hugo completed the first scene, he had a new understanding of the character Anonymous, and also tried to study some new things during the performance, which led to frequent ng.

When starring in "Schindler's List", Hugo actually thought of Kevin Spacey's performance in "Seven Deadly Sins". To be more accurate, Hugo borrowed from Kevin's performance, but when Hugo entered the Anonymous performance of "Seven Deadly Sins", Hugo found that this role was very different from what he imagined.

Amon Gos is a soul-wrenching performance. When Hugo was put into the performance, his part of himself was almost completely hidden. Whether it was drinking or smoking, Hugo became a method of Amon Gos, because Amon's experience seemed to be a process that Hugo could not understand and could not go through. He needed to abandon himself to the greatest extent and then put himself in Amon's position to think. This performance method was almost obsessed with, and Hugo was difficult to control, and he could only passively release his emotions and thoughts.

After this, the "pulp novels" and "before sunrise" are completely different performance methods. They can be said to be completely opposite to Amon Goss. Compared to the role, Hugo is more in performing with his true nature, not in his true nature, but in his own outlook on life, world view and values, and then shaped the role based on his own experience. It can be said that the role Hugo understands is completely different from the perspectives of any other person, and is more of his own and private experience.

One is to abandon yourself, and the other is to take yourself as the starting point. These are two completely different performance methods.

Catherine Hepburn once told Hugo, "The overlap between personal experience and character experience is unnecessary in a sense, because personal experience can never catch up with the screenwriter's fantasy." In fact, it is the so-called three realms of Zen. At the beginning of Zen, you see the mountain as a mountain and the water as water; when you have enlightenment in Zen, you see the mountain as not a mountain, and the water as water as water; when you have enlightenment in Zen, you see the mountain as not a mountain, and the water as water as water as thoroughly.

Although Hugo's performance so far is very outstanding and has made great progress compared to "smelling fragrance to recognize women", he has always stayed at the state of "the beginning of Zen practice". Seeing mountains are mountains and water is water. He also truly understood what Catherine means. Sometimes he can create roles based on his own experience, but sometimes there is no way. Therefore, the overlap between personal experience and role experience is actually unnecessary. The important thing is his understanding of the role and the integration of himself and the role.

However, this time, the anonymous man of the "Seven Deadly Sins" made Hugo feel the state of "When Zen is enlightened", looking at mountains is not mountains, and looking at water is not water.

The character Anonymous is an unquestionable ******. His thoughts are extreme and terrifying. He hopes to use the method of creating panic to prove his presence. Although he executes the seven deadly sins under the name "God chose him", he never denies the inner pleasure in the process of executing the seven deadly sins. Therefore, he enjoys the whole process very much, and even the final death is a kind of enjoyment for him.

But the Anonymous perfectly merged this perversion into his blood, hiding under the gentlemanly and polite and well-educated appearance. The conflict created by this extreme contradiction further formed the cold blood and cruelty in his bones, just like a demon wearing human skin.

Such a mentality, such a mentality, such emotions are levels that Hugo cannot touch, and it is also a feeling that Hugo has never experienced.

However, after careful exploration and analysis, Hugo constructed a very similar growth experience for Anonymous, from a single-parent family to the difficulties of childhood, to pursuing dreams and achieving success. Although Hugo's personal experience will be more positive and sunny, while Anonymous will be more negative and darker, the biography of Anonymous constructed by Hugo was indeed conceived in his own experience.

Similar experiences lead to completely different lives, which is very common in real life.

Hugo extracted the Anonymous life from his own experience, which was different from any previous performance experience. It was like finding the American young man Jesse in Amon Goss' personality. Hugo found out the reasons for the variation of his personality and concepts based on his experience, interpreted and interpreted it based on his understanding, and finally shaped Anonymous.

It's like... it's like a split personality, but it's not completely independent of the two personalities. The involvement and entanglement between them is still constantly conflicting and quarrel in Hugo's mind. This makes Hugo feel stimulating in his pain. Perhaps this is the new bottleneck he is struggling to pursue. Once it breaks through, it can open a brand new door.

Since joining the crew, Hugo has been writing a diary. From the first day when Anonymous came up with the idea of ​​creating the seven deadly sins, he has always used how Anonymous improves the entire criminal process, including everything he encountered in life and work during this process, and even details the brainstorm he heard on the subway, which caused.

Hugo writes every day, and the diary style is very mixed. Sometimes he tends to be Hugo's personality, sometimes he tends to be the personality of a serial killer, and sometimes he turns into a mixed personality like the Anonymous, which plays a crucial role in Hugo's understanding of Anonymous.

Interestingly, when David Finch and Andrew Kevin Walker accidentally saw Hugo writing a diary for more than 20 days, he was shocked.

When Mills and Shamosey touched the Anonymous' home, they found countless books and materials in the Anonymous' home. In order to present a sense of reality, David hired professionals to write related books for the movie, all of which were real creations that matched the Anonymous' personality. They spent more than 10,000 US dollars and spent nearly two months still not completed.

Now, David and Andrew saw the diary written by Hugo, and their first idea was to add Hugo's diary to this batch of materials, because this is the record of the real Anonymous planning the entire case. After obtaining Hugo's consent, David placed the thick diary on the desk at Anonymous' home, which became important evidence.

Although Hugo spent a lot of energy to find the connection between himself and Anonymous, he still felt that he had not grasped the essence. Everything was just on the surface because his head was always clear. Sometimes, being too clear was not a good thing, because it meant that Hugo's investment in two different personalities was not profound enough.

This is also the reason why Hugo's performance process has been very tangled recently. He has been looking for the balance point of the performance, which part should be gentler, which part should be cold-blooded; which part should be gentler, which part should be cruel; which part should be calmer, which part should be violent...

This state of seeing mountains are not mountains and water is not water that makes Hugo's brain very confused.

But at the same time, Hugo realized one thing, why Kevin Spacey won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Little Golden Man's role comes from "very suspect" rather than "Seven Deadly Sins", because the space for the role of "Seven Deadly Sins" Anonymous is still too narrow, not the number of roles, but the space for the character's psychology and the depth of the plot.

This was a new gain for Hugo. He originally thought that the character Anonymous was already very difficult, but after he really went deeper and understood it, he realized that it was not as difficult as he imagined. At the same time, he also had a new understanding of the involvement and depth of the script, which reminded Hugo of some evaluations of the script "Seven Deadly Sins" in later generations. The general view is that it is very exciting, but the most exciting thing is that it comes from the eye-catching ending, and the overall quality and thickness of the script are still not enough, so this script is relatively inferior in both major award ceremony and in later generations.

This reminded Hugo of Ernst Lechman. Ernst expressed his views on the script "Seven Deadly Sins". The screenwriters of other characters are still too immature and have narrower ideas. They missed many parts worth exploring. Many times, a script can be improved by just a few details. "Pulp novels" are the most typical positive representatives.

Hugo suddenly became excited. He wanted to further improve. He wanted to find a character that was more complex, difficult and challenging than Anonymous. He wanted to touch the realm of "seeing mountains is not mountains, watching water is not water". He wanted to stand in front of the camera and interpret the character based on his own understanding, and be able to perfectly integrate with the script.

This unprecedented desire for acting makes Hugo full of energy.

However, now other scripts are future events, and Hugo still has to interpret Anonymous well. Hugo has been trying to find the best balance through many different interpretations and attempts. The scene before Anonymous surrendered himself was perfect. Hugo hopes to transform the perfection of a scene into a part of his acting skills and then become the norm.

Hugo's entanglement and struggle, coupled with Brad's trance and struggle, the shooting progress of the "Seven Deadly Sins" slowed down. However, David was originally a harsh and tricky person. Everyone thought it was perfect in a scene, but he still had to pick and reshoot it. Now he has received strong support from Hugo, and it is natural that the crew's progress has slowed down.

After the seventeenth consecutive ng scene, David had to stop and "take a break for a while." Brad walked to the side with a depressed look on his face and covered his head to rest, but David walked to Hugo and began to discuss, "I just wanted to cut a shot from Mills' perspective, but the effect was not very good. What do you think?"

"I think the anonymous here needs an unintentional look. You know, with a little provocation but more confident, what angle do you think can capture such eyes?" Hugo expressed his understanding as an actor.
