Chapter 1336 1336 Comedy Talent
After a simple greeting, Hugo immediately joined the friends of "Friends" and started the rehearsal of the script today. Although Hugo's guest appearance as "Friends" has always been kept secret, Hugo actually read it immediately after the script came out, not as David worried. The script was approved by Hugo and then decided. Instead, the actors of "Friends" saw the script after Hugo.
The rehearsal began to seem a bit confusing, mainly Courtney, Jennifer and others were unable to immediately enter the script, and even a transitional line would make a laugh. Obviously, Hugo's arrival still caused subtle changes in the atmosphere on the scene, and every actor was inevitably fluctuating.
Originally, it was only an hour of rehearsal, but it delayed for nearly forty-five minutes before the rehearsal was announced to be over.
After the rehearsal, Hugo left the lounge and walked outside. Standing at the door of the lounge, you could see a huge wooden partition in front of you. After walking a few steps forward, you could see that this was a three-sided circular wooden partition, which was the room of "Friends" Rimonica. At the end of the room was a wooden door. You could see Monica's apartment. The scene that appeared in this drama almost every day. After being immersed, you found that it was so simple, even without a ceiling.
Turn around and continue walking forward a few steps along the corridor, you can see another scene, which looks dark and narrow. When you walk in, you can see a wooden door in just two steps. When you look inside, you will find a different world. The scene that is so familiar that it is so familiar to you in Central Park Café (central.perk) is spread out in front of you.
However, before Hugo could sigh at the simple and magical setting of the scene, he could see the audience sitting one after another. This shocked Hugo. Because directly opposite the most famous sofa in the Central Park Cafe was a large open space, with step-type seats on the left and right sides of the open space. The empty venue was even more than twice the space of the cafe itself. The entire field of view could not be seen at all, and countless chandeliers, arms, cameras and other equipment could be clearly seen in the sight.
Hugo quickly stopped and took his eyes back. Although he had experienced filming in the studio when filming "Yihai Xiongfeng", today a large-scale indoor sitcom like "Friends" opened Hugo's eyes wide. He almost included the entire world in one studio. Just a few seemingly simple partitions, he included the ten years of "Friends" life.
The filming in the studio is obviously completely different from the field shooting outdoors. The entire scenery, space and direction feel different, but the audience who took the filming on the spot made Hugo feel incredible. Although there were onlookers in the filming of the movie, it was just onlookers. Today, the audience was clearly here to watch and shoot. This was not like a film or TV shooting, but more like a stage play.
In other words, every move of the actors will be presented to the audience's sight, and any mistakes will be amplified. Although this is different from a stage play after all, and there is a fault tolerance space, the audience's attention is speechless pressure for the actors. What's more, this is still a comedy!
Hugo knew that the on-site staff would definitely lead the audience and instructed them to laugh out loud where they should laugh to avoid being distracted. But the actors' feelings on the scene were very real, because whether the audience's laughter was true or false could not be concealed. For comedy, the pressure was completely multiplied.
Faced with such a situation, Hugo felt new and couldn't help feeling nervous!
Of course Hugo knew that sitcoms had canned laughter, but he always thought it was recorded laughter, not released by the audience on the spot. So when he saw so many viewers outside the studio today, Hugo didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just a movie fan who came to visit the set. After all, "Friends" is now a popular TV series.
But now the situation has changed completely. No wonder when the screenwriter and director were monitoring each other while rehearsing the lines, and the specifications are even more rigorous than usual script practices.
Although he had just finished his acting breakthrough in "Death Prisoner Walking" not long ago, Hugo could not help but feel excited at this time. He knew that he was not an excellent comedian, but it was precisely because of this that today's challenges became more arduous and difficult, which also gave Hugo a different vision for the world of acting.
Looking at the noisy audience at the scene, Hugo suddenly understood the stubbornness and persistence of the British Academy party stage play.
Thinking of this, Hugo's job of making a guest appearance in "Friends" today is not just as exciting, but also has some expectations and self-requirements. He doesn't want to ruin the good impression of "Friends" in the audience because of his poor performance!
Hugo took back his steps and turned around and left the cafe scene. Since the audience needed to test the quality of the series today, let's make everything more realistic. Hugo is also looking forward to what kind of reaction his performance can arouse, which is even more exciting than attending the premiere of the movie.
At this moment, the audience members were entering the studio one after another according to the established procedures. Although it was delayed by a quarter of an hour than expected, this little waiting time did not suck their patience at all, but instead made them even more excited. Almost everyone who came to the scene could not suppress their inner excitement.
In fact, before coming to Burbank, all the audience members did not understand anything and just thought it was a normal shooting. They had no idea that the number of audience members who were listening today had doubled compared to usual, and many people did not even notice the abnormality.
Until Hugo's appearance.
Outside the studio, the boiling moment was suddenly boiling, and the scene was lost for a while. No one dreamed that today's shooting could actually be seen on the spot. This was simply the annual Christmas gift. Even if Hugo entered the studio, the boiling outside the venue could not calm down for a long time. Almost every audience member was excited and could not wait for the next shooting.
The waiting time was almost passed slowly in anxiety, expectation, excitement, and excitement. After everyone sat in their seats, looking at the setting of the Central Park Cafe in front of them, the surging emotions suddenly came, causing the scene to quickly spread a high temperature. The hot temperature made the air thinner, the sound of the heartbeat made the scene noisy, and the approaching time made the emotions tense!
The entire studio was filled with a subtle atmosphere at this time, as if waiting for the explosion point, and a big explosion could be encountered at any time.
Shortly after Hugo returned to the standby room, the filming of "Friends" officially began. Five other people except David took the lead. When they appeared, the audience immediately heard cheers and screams, and the atmosphere seemed very warm.
For the actors of "Friends", although they all seemed overly excited today, they were still very skillful after working. It can be seen that they are very familiar with the entire operation mode. Only two errors were paused, and the previous scenes were quickly completed.
The screenwriters obviously put a lot of effort into this episode. In just less than five minutes, the plot caused at least six laughs from the audience. Even Hugo, who was standing on the side stage, was hilarious when he heard the lines. This situation also brought greater pressure. With the arrival of Hugo's appearance time, Hugo felt a long-lost sense of tension. You know, since "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo has not been so nervous and nervous before acting.
Hugo closed his eyes and let himself think about the role.
Hugo's guest appearance today is a virtual character named Steve Rogers (steven.rogers). He didn't feel anything when he heard the name Hugo. Matthew was so happy during the rehearsal just now. After explaining, Hugo realized that this was actually the real name of Captain America, a classic character in Marvel comics. This made Hugo feel that there were three black lines on his forehead. The screenwriter was really childlike today.
Steve is an Irish man. He and his sister Elizabeth depend on each other for life, so he is very strict in taking care of his sister. Elizabeth and Ross are dating. Steve, who came to New York for a business trip, planned to meet Elizabeth's boyfriend, but since Elizabeth is only eighteen years old, Ross is already thirty years old, even one year older than Steve, which made Steve very dissatisfied.
On the one hand, Ross had to try his best to please Steve; on the other hand, Steve's extraordinary charm made Rachel and Monica fall in love with him. Even Chandler and Joey admired Steve, which put Ross in a dilemma of isolation and helplessness.
Later, Steve and Rachel dated, but after dating, everyone realized that Steve was not as charming as he looked on the outside. He was actually very unconfident in his heart. After opening his heart to Rachel, he exposed his nickname as "coward" when he was a child, and even cried loudly, and even threw himself into Chandler's arms for help.
It can be said that the screenwriter was considering many aspects and wrote a very credible background and personality for Hugo, and also put in a lot of effort in humor, allowing Hugo to show the differences before and after Steve. Not only gave Hugo space to display his acting skills, but also gave Hugo a lot of room to show off Hugo's comedy talent. Of course, the premise is that Hugo can let go, throw down his burden, and truly integrate into comedy.
Otherwise, such a difficult character would be a disaster.
