Nicole and Tom rarely discuss performance skills at home, which is their way of getting along, which also makes Nicole develop the habit of slowly exploring acting skills. She is willing to listen to the teachings of acting teachers, she is willing to observe the live performances of veteran actors, but she rarely takes the initiative to share her experiences and rarely communicates seriously with others. She is not used to it and likes it.

Turning back to look at Hugo, who was only five steps away from her, Nicole couldn't help but start to look at Hugo carefully. Before entering the crew of "Trumen's World", she had inquired about Hugo not as a friend, but about Hugo's working status in the crew. Nicole had always heard a lot of praise, but was still amazed, marveling at Hugo's efforts and persistence. Although Hugo is not a professional academic actor, his unremitting efforts have allowed him to surpass countless real academicians and contributed many wonderful performances.

Nicole was also curious about what her cooperation with Hugo would look like, sparks are everywhere, tit-for-tat, and smoke is everywhere... But she did not expect such a result. She felt Hugo's powerful performance aura just in the script practice stage. Her conception and performance of the character are inferior, but she seems rough, simple, and simple, almost completely out of the same level, or she doesn't want to see such a result.

Nicole suddenly remembered the "Seven Deadly Sins". Brad Pitt was like a wooden stake in front of Hugo, with almost no performance, and such an outstanding character was completely destroyed. At that time, everyone was ridiculing Brad, of course Brad's acting skills were indeed not accurate enough, but now Nicole realized that everyone had overlooked a problem: Hugo's acting aura has reached a new level, and not anyone can perform normally in front of him.

The most direct proof is that even Morgan Freeman was suppressed in front of Hugo.

There have always been statements about acting aura in the field of performance. Actors can often burst out endless energy in a limited space and inject sparks into the role, which can easily turn the whole scene into their own one-man show. As an opponent, it is very difficult to avoid being suppressed, and it may even become a complete decoration.

Currently in Hollywood, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and others are all recognized as actors with strong acting aura. Hugo played against Al in "Smelling the Flavor and Knowing the Woman", and although he performed well, he was indeed completely a supporting role of Al. In "Yihai Xiongfeng", Hugo played a draw with Jack due to the weight of the scene, but objectively speaking, except for the last court scene, Hugo's aura was completely suppressed by Jack at other times. From Hugo's current perspective, he still used too much force in the court scene.

Now, before I knew it, Hugo's acting aura has reached the level of a master. During the filming of "Los Angeles Confidential" the ability to inject chemical effects into the character in a quiet manner, second to none. Nicole only truly felt Hugo's powerful aura today. Standing in front of Hugo, I couldn't help but be restrained. This feeling was really bad.

But Nicole also knew that in addition to Hugo's strong acting aura, her own lack of meticulousness in the character of Meryl is also a very serious problem. Before coming to the crew, she felt that she had read the entire script many times, claiming to have a very thorough understanding of the character, but the simple exercise just now made Nicole notice the abnormality: there are still many details in the script, she did not find out, and her understanding of Meryl lacked a very important part.

Thinking of this, Nicole gently bit her lower lip, and she was still a little unwilling to accept it. She didn't want to bow her head to Hugo, but... taking a deep breath, then taking a deep breath again, Nicole walked to the opposite side of Hugo and sat down. Hugo raised his head and smiled at Nicole, then lowered his head and continued to read the script.

"Hugo," Nicole called, causing Hugo to raise her head, but she stopped when she spoke to her mouth, and she didn't know how to speak at all. However, Hugo didn't say anything, but just waited for Nicole's following with a smile, which made Nicole smile bitterly. She and Hugo were old friends. They had been very relaxed and comfortable in the past, but they didn't expect that they would become distant and embarrassed when they collaborated on the crew. "I want to ask, I realized that you seemed to have some... Well, how to say it, confused? There is everything, uh, earnest, and it seems to be begging. But why?"

Hugo raised his eyebrows gently and signaled Nicole to continue, "I originally thought that Truman should be eager to leave here. The desire to get rid of the constraints and embrace freedom dominates his actions. The abnormalities around him are just catalysts. So, why is he confused? Why do he need to beg Meryl?"

Hugo shook his head, "No, it's not like that." Hugo looked at Nicole's eyes and said seriously, "Recalling carefully, Truman actually has many opportunities to leave, why did he choose to stay? I mean besides he is afraid of water." Nicole thought about it seriously, but there was doubt in his eyes. Hugo could only continue to explain, "You know, Truman's dream since childhood was to explore the world like Ferdinand Magellan. He longed to be able to embrace the world, but this dream was interrupted..."

"Because the program team arranged for his father to drown in the sea," Nicole continued.

Hugo slit his chin, "Yes, that's it. So, from childhood to adulthood, he had many opportunities to leave. But he always chose to stay. When Sylvia left, he did not follow her to Fiji, because his mother was seriously ill and bedridden; when he decided to go to Fiji, the first person he thought of was..."

Hugo didn't finish speaking, but looked at Nicole, which made Nicole think about it carefully, and then said uncertainly, "Meryl?" Hugo nodded vigorously and expressed his approval, "Oh, so in the script practice just now, Truman would beg that he was asking Meryl to go with him?"

"Yes!" Hugo gave a positive answer, "For Truman, family and friends are always the most important thing. He will be willing to give up his dreams because of the responsibility on his shoulders. That sense of responsibility and bond broke his dreams, but he had no regrets. Therefore, even if Truman longed to leave here, his mother, wife and friends were always the reasons why he could not take the lead."

"As you said, the abnormalities in life are catalysts, which made Truman again develop the idea of ​​getting rid of the constraints and embracing freedom, but Truman could not make up his mind to leave. So, he was very confused. On one side was his own family and on the other side was his own dream. He always chose the former, and he also longed to be able to get the approval and recognition of the former. However, when the current person was unwilling to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, he felt confused again, not sure whether his thoughts were correct, or even what he really wanted in his heart. However, with more and more abnormalities in life, Truman gradually found that he seemed to live in a lie, Meryl was alienating him little by little, and the seemingly perfect marriage gradually transformed into a gorgeous mask..."

Hugo's words were not slow, but full of enthusiasm. Just a few words, you can feel his concentration and dedication to the role of Truman. For a moment, Nicole once again treated Hugo in front of him as Truman's subtle perception, which was difficult to describe in words, but an illusion would arise in the aura, either Jesse "before sunrise", Ed of "Los Angeles secret", or Truman Burbank of "Trump's world".

"So Truman became more and more determined, his struggle and resistance became stronger and stronger, and in the end..." Nicole couldn't help but take Hugo's words and said firmly, and the thoughts in her mind became clearer and clearer, as if the entire blueprint was outlined. At this moment, Nicole truly felt Hugo's acting aura, and the image between silentness came to her face. Almost before she could notice, the entire Truman's image became full and three-dimensional.

Hugo didn't notice the turbulence in Nicole's heart, but just showed a bright smile, "Yes, that's it."

Although Nicole and Hugo were discussing the concept of Truman's role, Nicole couldn't help but start thinking about Meryl. What was Meryl like? Why did she dissuade Truman from his dream because it was a job, but Truman was her husband...

In the process of shaping a character, it is not just joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. More often than not, the source of these emotions needs to be considered. Is there a specific reason for the character to get angry at this time or is it because he is a psychopath. If it is the latter, why does he become a psychopath? These roots are crucial for character creation.

Unless it is just a symbol that drives the plot, these root traces are actually cumbersome and redundant; otherwise, the interaction between the characters and the plot is really important, and this is also the cornerstone of an excellent script and an excellent work.

The thoughts in Nicole's mind began to surge, and Hugo didn't say anything anymore, avoiding disturbing Nicole's thoughts, leaned back on the back of the chair and quietly flipping through the script.

"You are completely wet! Where have you been?" Nicole suddenly spoke, without warning, Hugo raised his head and saw Nicole's moving eyes. The surprised eyes were flashing gently, and there was still the doting and floating in the depths of her eyes.
