The smile on the corner of Ed's lips completely bloomed, and even a little fake and clear. Then he pursed his lips gently, naturally restrained his smile, lowered his eyes, and smiled with a gentle and friendly smile, "I like to help others."

When he said this, Ed didn't even look at Bob's eyes, as if he wasn't sure of the sincerity in his words, but after he said that, he raised his gaze and looked at Bob seriously, as if listening to Bob's next question, but the shadow-like vision was like a cobra with prey on his head, secret but deadly.

"I heard that two police officers were attacked tonight. What do you think about this?"

Ed constrained his gaze, and also the corner of his mouth. He looked back again and pursed his back, and said objectively and calmly, "It's because of his profession." But he revealed a hint of coldness, but he raised his eyebrows and softened his expression, looking sympathetic and friendly. "But I read the report, and luckily they're fine."

"You are now on duty, aren't you too young?"

"It's only tonight." Ed paused his smile, and looked back at his colleagues who were listening to the speech of senior detective Dudley Smith for the third time. The light behind the silk glasses was a bit mixed, but the smile on his lips was outlined again, and he said warmly, "Married men in the bureau are all on the reunion holiday." But behind the stern words, they seemed alienated and polite.

"Car!" Curtis' voice broke the tranquility of the set, and everyone focused their attention. Curtis stood there and thought for a while, "Okay, good! There is no problem with this scene. The next shot is placed behind Bob and Lanny, aiming at the room, James came over from the far end and had a brief exchange with Bob at the door."

The staff at the scene were busy again. The reporters standing by the side began to think about it. They didn't feel it when Hugo left the RV just now, so this time the feeling became obvious. But on the surface, Hugo didn't change much, but the strange feeling in his heart was lingering, so these uncrowned kings began to think carefully and try to find a little clue.

Hugo ignored the reporters. He smiled at Bob in front of him, Lanny nodded and walked towards the monitor. At this time, Kevin, Charlize, Russell and others also surrounded him and began to watch the replay.

The dialogue in this scene just now was only a few simple sentences, leaving Hugo with limited space to play, so Hugo is more about interpreting according to his own feelings and finding a rhythm that suits him. The scene just now is more like a warm-up exercise.

Christmas Eve is a challenge and an opportunity for Ed Esley. He was appointed as the duty officer tonight. Often, such Christmas Eve will be caught off guard, so Ed is also looking for a good opportunity for his own development. At the same time, Ed also knows that the police detective's examination has been completed. This is a formal agent. Not only is he qualified to go out for field work, but he is not only an upgrade of his position, but more importantly, he has the right to choose a professional department. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Ed Ed. His revenge and ambition can finally be extended.

Therefore, Ed was actually a little absent-minded. He frequently looked back and paid attention to the behind him. On the one hand, he paid attention to the few thieves he had just arrested, and on the other hand, he paid attention to the Detective Dudley, who was the leader of the criminal department. In this case, Bob's visit actually caught Ed off guard. His father's shadow continued to be overwhelmed by his head again as always. He inevitably revealed his true emotions, but in the end he still covered it up well.

To outsiders, the scene just now was just a few simple conversations, but in fact, for Hugo, as an actor, a scene hides too much information. It is not only the reason for a story, but also the tip of the iceberg of the background of the character and the foreshadowing of the movie script story.

"Are you sure this is correct?" Kevin raised his eyebrows and looked at Hugo, and said with a smile, "Your answer is so official?" Kevin could feel it. When Ed answered the question just now, he also had a hint of active warmth in showing goodwill. Unfortunately, his unactive facial expression not only did not express such a meaning, but on the contrary, it also made people feel a little disgusting, which was obviously the ugly face of the government minions.

Hugo looked at Kevin, outlined the corners of his mouth and chuckled slightly, not saying anything. Kevin understood immediately, chuckled twice in a haha, lowered his head and thought for a while, tapped his chin invisibly, and then turned back to his position.

Kevin can feel Hugo's delicate craftsmanship of the characters. The way he makes moves is playful, and even the way he smiles is completely different. Ed is Ed and Hugo is Hugo. This is actually a very British academic performance method. In the professional academy acting training class, there are dozens of ways to express a simple smile. Even the same smile will show different emotions due to differences in eyes, head posture, gestures, angles, etc., which are accurate and appropriate. This control skill can be felt by many British actors.

Kevin was already eager to try it out. He wanted to play against Hugo, either in a show or a show. The silent tension and collision that moistened the objects made Kevin feel that his blood had begun to surge. He needed to go through the script, look at his role, and then study it carefully.

Russell, who was standing aside, watched Hugo and Kevin play the puzzle, but couldn't understand it at all. He watched anxiously between the two people for a few times, but still didn't get the answer. He could only speak on his own initiative, "Hugo, is your character really so annoying?" It was straightforward and neat, and had no habits of Hollywood at all. Although Russell Crow is now thirty-three years old, he is still a complete newcomer.

Hugo smiled and patted Russell on the shoulder, "You can read the script again." After that, he turned around and walked to the side. The theater and other actors were already waiting there, preparing to talk about the next scene.

Charlize, who had been silent, said thoughtfully, "Russell, in the story, the Bud you played did not like Ed from the beginning, or even disliked it. So, this is the effect Hugo needs." There are many reasons why Bud couldn't stand Ed, but it is undeniable that the auras of the two people are completely different.

Russell was silent and thought seriously, while Charlize was recalling Hugo's change from the inside out just a few words. She could piece together part of Ed's personality in just a few words. She felt that the whole image had a vague outline, but the problem was that Hugo's performance was nothing special, as if some were just natural reactions. This feeling was very wonderful, different from the focus of Kevin's attention. What Charlize saw was exactly the personality of Ed created by Hugo using method-based acting skills. Many details were driven by Ed, a real person.

If Charlize had only a vague concept of the acting skills of the method before, then today she witnessed the entire process of establishing the role. What's even more amazing is that Hugo can freely change between herself and Ed, so subtle that the difference that can only be experienced by feeling makes people feel empathetic. This skill is indeed eye-catching.

In fact, Hugo did not reach the level of complete satisfaction with the scene just now. It was not a matter of performance, but a matter of the whole rhythm, as if he was sneezing until he could not make it. This scene only depicts Ed's background and personality. The next scene of dialogue with Dudley can fully depict Ed's conceived in Hugo's mind.

Back in front of the camera, Hugo and James Cromwell began rehearsal for the next scene.

Although the focus of the entire crew of "Los Angeles City Secret" is Hugo, Kevin, and Charlize, the reporters at the scene were already excited at this time. Because the so-called "actor-level duel" has arrived early, James was nominated for the 68th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the Oscar for the 68th Academy Award. Interestingly, Hugo won the Best Actor Award at that Oscar.

James plays Dudley Smith, the number one detective in the criminal department. He fought side by side with Ed's father Preston, and was not only experienced but also made great contributions. Ed was eager to join the criminal department and do something. Therefore, Dudley had a very special identity for Ed, one was a boss and one was a father.

James is six feet and seven inches (two meters and one), and his domineering slender figure can be said to be a stare. Hugo stood in front of James and suddenly felt that he was shorter and even had to look up at the other person. But Hugo was still not satisfied with this. He spread his legs a little, lowered his height, and found that he had to raise his chin to see James. It was difficult to put the two of them into the camera in this way. This was too exaggerated. Hugo closed his legs a little, and felt that he really looked up, and then he was satisfied.

"Hugo, are you sure this is OK? I also want James to lower his center of gravity a little." Curtis saw Hugo's movements, walked over worriedly, and spoke.

Hugo shook his head, "Ed now needs to look up at Dudley in front of him; but after the plot, this look up will burst out with greater contradictions and conflicts, and then narrow the visual distance between the two people, which seems to be equal. The visual effect invisibly makes the audience feel this change."

Curtis seemed not to understand too much, frowned and thought, James had to help explain, "Hugo means that Dudley was the object of his looking upward. This looking up could be worship or a junior, but later this image collapsed, and looking up became a straight look. The impact of this invisible change on Ed is actually very subtle. Hugo hopes to create this psychological change, which the audience's naked eyes cannot detect but can clearly feel."

After James finished speaking, he glanced at Hugo and sought confirmation. Hugo smiled and gave his thumbs up.
Chapter completed!
