Hugo's standing and applauded, which prompted the extras who performed the live performance to applaud. Al turned around and saw Hugo's excitement, and couldn't help but smile, waved his hand directly, pretending to be serious, "Shut up." This reprimand immediately made Hugo stiff in place, and then realized that the scene had not been filmed yet, Hugo quickly closed his mouth firmly.

When the on-site staff saw Hugo's childish side, they couldn't help but burst into laughter, which made the atmosphere on the scene relax.

The Tango scene is not easy to shoot. Martin wants to present the essence of this dance from different angles, so Al and Gabriel have to repeat the dance again and again, and the performances of the two must always maintain the same frequency, otherwise they will not be able to match the play. The difficulty is far beyond imagination. Even so, Al still persists, reflecting the true level of an excellent actor.

It was already dark when the tango scene was finished, but today's scenes were not over yet, and there were two scenes that ended next. However, Al and Gabriel were both tired for an afternoon, so Martin asked them to rest for a quarter of an hour before continuing to work on the filming.

Al returned to his seat, lit a cigarette, then looked back at Hugo, and cast a look of inquiry. Hugo shook his head, "I don't smoke, I'm allergic." In fact, Hugo didn't know whether this body was allergic to cigarettes. Anyway, he was allergic to cigarettes before, to be precise, he was allergic to nicotine. He tried it once, and just took a sip, and he vomited in a dark way, so he was completely insulated from smoking. After traveling through time, Hugo had no intention of trying because he was already used to it.

Al looked at Hugo and shook his head repeatedly, "I missed a great thing in life." A sigh made Hugo laugh. The same was true for the partners of the band Glory to Death before.

During the period of playing underground bands, most of the depression and hardship of life require cigarettes and alcohol to anesthetize yourself, and it may even require poisons and drugs to achieve their goals. Zhang Xiaoye, the first guitarist who was glorious until death, fell into the world of poisons and drugs, and finally closed his eyes forever.

"You have been looking at me like this. Are you going to ask any questions?" Al took a sip of a cigarette and asked casually. Although it was a question, the firmness in his tone was not shaken at all.

Hugo scratched his head shyly, "Am I that obvious?"

"I almost thought you were watching Gabriel, what do you think?" Al's words immediately made several staff members passing by laugh, and Hugo could only look embarrassed.

But Hugo was not shy. It was originally a good learning opportunity to play opposite Al. Hugo would not miss this opportunity. "I want to say that you, are there any tricks in acting? Look, the performance of the scene just now was really wonderful. How did you grasp the role of Lieutenant Colonel? How did you show the inner miscellaneous with such delicate eyes and expressions? I watched it for a long time, but I still didn't figure it out."

In the past, I could only watch a movie that looks similar at most, but after I came to the scene, the impact of my acting skills was vivid, causing endless sparks to burst into Hugo's mind, and problems emerged one after another.

Al glanced at Hugo in the smoke, raised his right hand holding the cigarette, and compared a "two" gesture with the index finger and middle finger holding the cigarette, "Two points. First, there is no trick to acting. Even if there is, it is summarized by yourself. What suits me may not be suitable for you. For example, Dustin and Robert and their understanding of acting must be different. You don't need to ask so many questions."

Hugo knows this. Everyone's acting styles are different, with unrestrained and ostentatious, such as Kate Winslet; introverted and delicate, such as Colin Firth; invisible, such as Dustin Hoffman; and natural, such as Meryl Streep, and so on.

Of course, this so-called difference is not absolute. It is possible that every actor has a mutual communication in the process of thinking about his acting skills, but no matter what, he still has to digest it into his own things in the end, so that he can present it through performance and form his own style. Otherwise, he will be just an eternal imitator. Perhaps the performance starts with imitation, but the final breakthrough is the formation of his own style.

"Besides, I have been acting for so many years. How could it be possible if I didn't have any accumulation?" Al sneered contempt, making Hugo laugh twice. Al Pacino, 62 years old this year, has a full thirty-three years of actor experience, so it should not be underestimated.

"Second, don't think about the acting skills, you have to think about the role." Algan said frankly. Hugo looked at Al with a curiosity, but he didn't plan to explain further. "I'm not a qualified acting teacher. Even if you ask a question, I can't answer it." After that, Al continued to suck in pleasure.

Hugo was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, and stopped asking questions.

Hugo easily understood the first point about Al. This is also a little experience he has been observing and imitating his acting skills over the years. However, he does not have many acting opportunities, so he has never been able to practice it and always stays at the level of an excellent imitator. However, even if he is just an imitator at present, Hugo's talent has been recognized in two auditions. I believe that as long as Hugo is given enough time and enough opportunities, his exploration on the road of acting will never stop here.

But the second point is that Hugo doesn't quite understand what it means to not understand acting skills, to understand the role? Are these two things integrated and inseparable? Hugo knows that Al's meaning is to ask him to study the role carefully. In fact, he did the same and continued to persist. However, to show the essence of the role, acting skills are the necessary bridge. Without excellent acting skills, even if you have a deep understanding of the role, you cannot show it, right? If you divide the acting skills and the role, what's going on?

Hugo began to constantly recall Al's performance and his own performance, repeating the scenes in his head, trying to figure out what Al just said. Because he was too focused on his own thinking, Hugo not only did not notice the commotion around the crew, but also did not notice Al's departure.

"Hugo, Hugo Lancaster!" The call next to him interrupted Hugo's thinking. Hugo's first reaction was that Martin was going to re-enter the filming, so he immediately said, "I'm ready!" But when he looked back, it was not a drama or a scene record, but a strange face.

Hugo originally thought it was a staff member he was not familiar with, but the retro camera on the other party’s chest made Hugo realize something was wrong. Sure enough, the other party immediately said, “Good evening, I am Nicholas McCross, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.”

"Oh, that disgusting reporter!" Hugo blurted out his first reaction, and he could see that the smile on Nicholas's face was slightly stiff, which made both of them pause. This was the reporter who complained about Hugo in the Los Angeles Times several times in a row, and obviously he was not optimistic about the prospects of Hugo's "Smelling the Scent and Knowing Women".

At this time, Martin and Joseph walked over together. During the filming process, Joseph stayed with other staff members. Hugo didn't see him all day today. Martin spoke at a distance of three steps, "Hugo, this is the interview arranged by the crew today, you can cooperate."

Joseph, who was standing next to him, nodded and expressed his affirmation.

Hugo speculated that this should be one of the crew's early promotions. Many movies have been promoted before the project was launched, and have successively released some news or crew photos. During the filming of the work, some public interviews will be arranged to keep the audience's expectation for the movie at all times. In fact, this is not often done by "smelling the fragrance and knowing women", because the producer Universal Pictures did not intend to make a difference in the box office, but routine promotion is still needed. Today is the first time since Hugo entered the crew.

But why is it the "Los Angeles Times", this is New York, has the news media in New York been abandoned? You should know that New York is the world's media capital! Also, why is it Nicholas McCross? Isn't this deliberately causing trouble for Hugo?

"What about the shooting?" Hugo asked subconsciously.

Martin laughed, "Don't worry, there is still enough rest time." After that, Martin shook hands with Nicholas, expressed his friendship, and then turned around and left.

Joseph glanced at Hugo and asked with his eyes, "Do you need me to be by your side?"

Although Hugo's tacit understanding with Joseph is not enough, he can probably understand this meaning. The agent's supervision and interview process is often a kind of protection for artists. However, he still shook his head. Anyway, what he should face will come sooner or later, and he cannot always pin his hopes on Joseph.

Joseph nodded and pointed to a location not far away, indicating that he was always there if necessary, and then turned around and left.

"So, that's all you and me." Nicholas smiled. "Although I've been writing about you for a few months, today is our first meeting. I'm in a very happy mood, and your real charm makes me amazed."

Faced with Nicholas' compliment, Hugo pursed his lips and nodded with a faint smile and said exploringly, "Your words in the newspaper are not as friendly as your smile today, so I think our previous 'meeting' should not be so pleasant."
