Chapter 1919 1919 Struggling

The significance of script practice is to make the actors familiar with the lines, gradually enter the performance state, and cultivate tacit understanding with the actors of the opponent. At the same time, it also allows the director and screenwriter to have a certain understanding of the entire performance rhythm. If adjustments are needed, it is a correct choice to perform before the filming begins.

So, Hugo naturally wouldn't mind Nicole's request and started the practice of this scene again. Unfortunately, Nicole was no longer in a state and practiced three times again. It felt completely wrong. Nicole couldn't help but feel a little irritable. After apologizing to Peter and Hugo, she temporarily went to the side for a walk and breathed the fresh air.

Hugo and Peter sat in the same place, looking at each other and smiling. Peter was admiring, while Hugo was helpless.

"Trueman's World" is a black reality comedy, with almost all stories remaining on Truman, but in fact, it is quite challenging for Truman's two closest wives, Meryl and his friend Malone. The choice of Nicole Kidman as Meryl and Alexander Lorraine as Malone is not only a business consideration, but also a trust in them.

In the story, Truman's life is a grand scam, and everyone must join forces to deceive Truman. But everyone ignores the fact that Truman is over thirty years old, and the people around him have been with him for thirty years. Even if he is only with a pet for thirty years, he will have feelings, let alone humans?

For Truman's best friend Ma Long, he shoulders the responsibility of "friends". He must make up for the part that Meryl cannot take care of, and even the identity of making friends. In the name of brotherly loyalty, while supporting Truman, he must cooperate with the program team to continue to deceive Truman and keep Truman in this reality show. Marlon is Truman's best friend, and Truman is so convinced, but what does Ma Long think? This is just a job, a role, or a real friend? Therefore, deception becomes increasingly difficult and painful. Not only Truman, but Marlon is also struggling between reality and illusion, torture between truth and lies.

The role of Malone is also a huge challenge for Alex, it depends on how he grasps it next.

Meryl and Malone have similarities and differences. The biggest difference is that love and friendship have always been different. In many cases, what love needs is sparks, passion and chemical reactions. Two people can become good friends but may not be able to become lovers, and vice versa. Therefore, the relationship and friendship in love are also different.

Malone had truly regarded Truman as a friend, but Meryl never regarded Truman as her husband; Meryl was just the name of "Truman's wife", just like the character name in the movie. Her real name is Hannah Gill, but Malone used her real name. This is the biggest difference between love and friendship. The difficulty Malone faces is to continue to deceive Truman against her heart; while Meryl faces the difficulty that she faces is to continue to love Truman against her heart.

For Hannah, she didn't love Truman. Truman was not the type she liked. She was too childish, too naive, and too mediocre. Hannah just regarded this as a job, a long-term meal ticket, and a springboard that could make her acting career shine. Therefore, Hannah has always been very objective and conscientiously playing the role of Meryl, becoming a "good mother and wife who love Truman wholeheartedly". Hannah would not refuse any requests from the program team, even if the program team asked her to give birth to a child for Truman.

But the problem is that this is just a job for Hannah, but for Truman it is a marriage and a love. He longs to get a response, recognition, and tacit understanding from his wife. His wife is the most important part of Truman's life, and he forms his life with Malone and Sylvia in his memories.

Facing Truman's true feelings, Hannah not only cannot show her strength, but also has to give Truman a response. She needs to play the role of a good wife and she needs to maintain this perfect marriage. But in fact, Hannah feels that Truman is becoming more and more annoying because Truman's aroused her career, and because Truman's random thoughts make her annoyed. She just wants to deal with Truman's "emotional call" in sloppy and continue to do this reality show. This is work, not personal and private life. Public and private must be clearly distinguished but not clearly, which makes Hannah very painful, so her face always has a deliberate and hypocritical smile, like a delicate mask, maintaining this "defended" marriage.

Therefore, the role of Hannah is actually very complicated, and she has been wandering around the edge, even more difficult than Malone.

In the historical version of "Trumen's World", Hannah is a role made by Laura Linney, an actress who has experienced a full-scale acting outbreak after entering the 21st century. She has won three Oscars and won many Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.

However, when she starred in "Trumen's World", Laura's performance has not yet been fully formed, lacking the carving of details and the character's preparation. Although the performance of the whole movie is good, it lacks the gradual change of progress, as well as the digging of internal disorders and struggles. The feeling of struggle in the play of "a real actor playing a Hollywood actor to play a reality show role" is not shown at all, which is quite regrettable.

Now, played by Nicole Kidman, objectively speaking, Nicole is more suitable than Laura. Her appearance like a porcelain doll coincides with the "perfect marriage" deliberately created by the program team in "Trueman's World". It is a kind of irony to interpret the definition of a traditional perfect marriage in this simple and straightforward way. Moreover, the noble and elegant taste in Nicole's temperament is even more incompatible with the slightly silly Truman, making the hypocrisy of marriage more vivid.

If Nicole could really study the role of Hannah and spark out with Hugo during the performance, it would inevitably bring the finished film to the next level.

But judging from the exercises just now, Nicole lacks accuracy in Hannah.

Simply put, in the scene just now, Hannah was playing the role of Meryl's wife wholeheartedly. Truman was just full of doubts. He didn't even know what he wanted, but just wanted to try to break the rules. Therefore, when Meryl faced Truman's request, she was more like coaxing the child, and responding to the child's request with her love for her, just like the child asking for an ice cream before dinner. Then she smiled and persuaded the child to buy the ice cream first and put it in the refrigerator, and then wait for dinner before eating it.

This kind of "porn" coaxing should be dealt with with a little bit, not impatient, because Meryl thinks Truman is just a whim, just like in daily life we ​​often say "I want to quit my job and travel to the world". Such impulses appear every now and then, but they will never be really executed. So Meryl just deals with it with a smile, just pretending that Truman is joking.

It was not until later that Truman mentioned it repeatedly that Meryl gradually felt irritable and even got a little angry with Truman because Truman's whimsicality might ruin Hannah's acting career.

This gradual change is crucial to laying the foundation for the entire story.

However, Nicole did not grasp the keyword "porn". The whole line practice seemed too impatient, and the expression seemed too stiff. Nicole's performance was more Hannah, not Meryl, which was exactly what should not have happened at the beginning of the movie. If the image was a little more vivid, it should be Meryl when the movie debuted. As the plot progressed, Hannah's proportions began to gradually grow. In the end, the two characters Hannah and Meryl became blurred, resulting in Hannah's mentality being completely unbalanced.

Correspondingly, Hugo's performance just now was already very good. He brought out Truman's feeling of confusion with a canine-eyed feeling, as if he was a child who had obtained the treasure map and could not wait to find the treasure. He needed a partner, a partner who supported his ideas, Malone did not agree with his ideas, so he turned to his wife, the urgency and earnest desire to be recognized was expressed in his eyes.

However, Hugo also thought that this performance was a bit too hard. He deliberately made it a little dramatic in order to match the comedy feeling. This is no problem in itself, but Hugo felt that the Truman he showed was a little too naive. Truman's mentality should be simple and optimistic, but not naive. This subtle difference is hard to see only from the eyes, and it is more about the rhythm of the speech and the arc of the movements.

Therefore, Hugo is still gradually entering the state, and he still needs to get through and gradually polish out Truman's correct appearance. But even so, Nicole still felt the delicate but tenacious power in Hugo's performance, which has affected her performance, which made her deeply feel that her performance rhythm was completely wrong, not only because her rhythm was messed up by Hugo, but also because she felt that the vitality given to the lines by Hugo, but did not appear on Meryl.

Nicole realized that she was dragging her back, but she couldn't find the reason for it for a while, so she took the initiative to ask for a break, wanting to calm down and think carefully, and clarify her thoughts again.

Nicole was in a turmoil as she was in a mess. Before entering the crew of "Trumen's World", she began to look forward to the opposite scene with Hugo, and even more looking forward to her acting talent being able to shine. She wanted to prove to people that she is also an excellent actor, not even inferior to Hugo.

When she arrived at the crew today, she was full of confidence. But now, she was not so sure. She looked back at Hugo who was quietly sitting in a chair and reading the script repeatedly. The bitterness on Nicole's tongue was dancing.
