Server SkyVids Link 314 Version 314

During the audition process, Hugo actually didn't want to make presets because it was easy to show misconceptions. For example, Hugo believed that what Steven Spielberg said now was clearly "Schindler's list", and then he performed according to his presets, but Steven said that he was looking for actors for "Jurassic Park", which meant that the audition failed.

Therefore, Hugo's forward consciousness is actually a double-edged sword at this moment.

But what can Hugo do? Because the information given by Steven is too limited, he can't find a point of leverage, and it's difficult to put emotions into the role, so he naturally cannot present a wonderful performance. Look at the key points of the information given by Steven just now, "a devil with incomplete darkness in his heart", such a character is actually equivalent to being unrestrained. It can be the future killer t800 in the "Terminator", the annoying younger brother Charlie in the "Rain Man", the confident, proud but upright ice man in the "Top Gun", and the famous Professor Snape in the "Harry Potter" series.

In other words, the key information given by Steven is equivalent to none, because the "devil with incomplete darkness in his heart" can have countless understandings, and even countless interpretations. Hugo has not yet formed his own acting style, so he needs to use the plot and characters as his foothold when performing, and then perform.

For example, the character Sam in "Seattle Night Without Sleeping", Hugo relies on his forward consciousness to integrate his understanding of the widower with the Tom Hanks version of Sam, and then impress Nora during the audition because this is suitable for the character of the story.

Therefore, Hugo's mind involuntarily proposed the "Schindler's List".

In fact, Steven has been preparing for the "Schindler's List" in recent months. This is no secret at all. At this point in time, he will audition for the actors, which is obviously based on this masterpiece. So Hugo's speculation is based on the source.

According to Steven's description just now, the role he is looking for is not the male lead Oscar Schindler, but the first supporting actor Amon Goss.

Amon was an officer of the German Nazi SS, stationed in Poland, and was the highest manager of the Prasov concentration camp. "Schindler's List" is a real story in history, and Amon also exists. He is a demon in the eyes of Jews. He enjoys killing people and is bloodthirsty. He slaughtered more than 500 Jews with his own hands just for fun. Every time he killed or ordered his subordinates to kill, his face showed a satisfied look. Amon's existence is Satan to the concentration camp, and even a look can make the Jews tremble.

After writing in the movie script, the character Amon was polished. Amon's demonic image still did not change at all. He was unstable, had a weird temper, and was murderous. However, the script also gave Amon more complicated inner activities. He fell in love with a Jewish woman, which made Amon fall in love with a process of self-struggle and self-denial, which appeared what Steven just said, "The heart is not completely dark."

Steven's description of Amon like this does not necessarily mean beautifying the character. He originally intended to follow the core consciousness of the movie, that is, everyone has a warmth deep in their hearts. Oscar Schindler's warmth defeated his greedy nature as a businessman and became the savior of the Jews; while Amon Gos's warmth was suppressed by the dark flag of the German Nazis until the end, and Amon was eventually hanged after the war.

But it is this unexpected description, coupled with the intimidating charm given to the character by British actor Ralph Fiennes, that actually won a lot of praise for the character Amon. Ralph's most famous role is the male protagonist with a "the.english.patient" expression and Voldemort in the "Harry Potter" series. In fact, Ralph's charming and mixed classical temperament makes him sometimes crazy and sometimes elegant, sometimes funny and sometimes melancholy, and has become a member of the British class that cannot be ignored.

Hugo has no sense of rejection for playing a supporting role, and an evil character, just like a supporting role in "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", in fact, many times when playing a supporting role in a villain is a kind of exercise for himself, such as the clown in "Dark Knight" and Loki in "Thor".

A successful villain can even be said to be the soul of the whole story, because the development of the plot and the succession of the ** is driven by the villain; a successful villain not only sets off the tall and complete image of the messenger of justice, but also shows the most evil and truest nature of human nature; a charming villain can resonate more with people than a righteous image.

It is no exaggeration to say that many movies lose most of their appeal because of the powerlessness of the villain, and vice versa. Many classic movies have been famous in history thanks to the excellence of the villain.

So, if it was Amon, Hugo would not have any obstacles. But the problem is that whether it was "smelling fragrance to recognize women", "Yihai Heroes", or "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle", the edges and corners of the characters played by Hugo were actually not too distinct, so when he replaced the original actor, it was more of a challenge and transcendence to himself; but this time, Amon and Ralph's performance on "Schindler's List" cannot be said to be famous in film history, it is also extremely brilliant. Therefore, Hugo not only has to challenge himself, but also surpass Ralph's classics without anyone knowing it. This is a competition between Hugo himself.

The challenge is unimaginable.

When Hugo realized that the role he auditioned for was probably not Oscar Schindler but Amon Goss, Hugo's inner tension surged again in an instant. His first reaction was: Can I do it? Although it was not self-denial, it was self-question.

Compared to the upright Schindler, the difficulty of playing a Nazi officer is obviously even more difficult. In Hugo's opinion, he probably has a lot of confidence in playing Schindler. Of course, Schindler is already in his forties, which is Hugo's disadvantage. No wonder Steven never thought about letting Hugo try this role. Amon Gos, who is about thirty years old, is within Hugo's range.

Can I do it?

This is the third time after "The End of Desperate" and "Seattle Night Not Sleeping", Hugo had an uncertain mood before the audition. The previous two times, once it ended without a start, and once it successfully got the role and completed his shooting task excellently.

Hugo's inner doubts had just surged, and then he realized that actors must constantly seek self-challenge and self-breakthrough, otherwise they would just be a vase peacefully, because acting skills are the professional skills of actors. If they don't advance, they will retreat. If they stick to a corner, they will never make progress. He has always been very clear about this idea. He said this to Steven just now. Now, it's time to take action. His mouth is full of scent and he always needs to find out the result after trying.

Soon, Hugo's unyielding confidence shattered all the doubts. He took a deep breath and was ready to challenge the limit. He would do his best to meet this challenge and gain Steven's recognition as a goal. Even if he failed in the end, he could still find different performance experiences from this attempt, and perhaps he could give his own understanding of acting skills a little more.

So, what exactly is the characteristic of the character Amon Gos? Although Hugo doesn't want presets, he must do so, and he can only take the initiative.

In fact, there are not many descriptions of Amon in "Schindler's List", but it can still outline the image of this Nazi officer, such as evil, cruel, impulsive, violent, restless, and greedy. He is like a god of death holding a sickle. Looking at the Jews in the concentration camp, he treats a group of lifeless sheep, and even uses Jews as a target for his own shooting exercises.

But it was such a terrible devil, the nightmare of all Jews in the entire concentration camp, he fell in love with his Jewish maid Helen, the Nazis and the Jews. These two groups were incompatible, so he struggled very much. On the one hand, he wanted to possess Helen by force and express his ownership of Helen in an unreasonable way; on the other hand, he wanted to give this woman shelter and cover up, and wanted to pamper Helen as a man; but in fact, the identity of a Nazi officer made this relationship a taboo.

What Hugo's most impressed with the character Amon is his eyes, which is a mixed and infinite charming look. Ralph gave the character Amon the soul!

Hugo agreed with this method very much, because after carefully analyzing the role of Amon, he found that he was a man who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. His cruelty on the outside was his armour, covering his weak inner armor. He did not allow himself to reveal his weakness, so he became more and more brutal and cruel. In fact, Amon was a firm anti-Semitism, which was also the reason for his rapid promotion. It was such a Nazi who made the Jews fall in love with the "beast". This strong contrast almost made Amon feel unrelenting, so his inner turmoil and entanglement evolved into more violent and ruthlessness.

Therefore, the character Amon is not suitable for too many delicate performances, because he needs armor to hide himself, which makes the eyes the only window.

Hugo knew that the so-called eyes are psychological activities, and at the same time it is a kind of temperament. The miscellaneous thoughts in the heart will be expressed through the eyes and the temperament of the whole person. So, how should he perform the role of Amon? Even if he wants to learn from Ralph Fiennes, it is not so easy to guess, not to mention that Steven did not give him too much time to think, nor did he give him enough time to express himself.
