080 Study hard
The joy of defeating Tom Cruise to win the male lead of "Yihai Xiongfeng" lasted less than two days before Hugo was shot down into the real world. The so-called reality is: Hugo is two levels worse than Tom, and the power of the Golden Raspberry Award has not completely disappeared, and the next shooting is the real hard part.
"Hugo..." Joseph looked at Hugo who was still sitting in his seat worriedly. Although Hugo has been positive after the Golden Raspberry Award, as if he had changed his own person, Joseph was still worried that Hugo, who had been mentally fragile before, would be suddenly crushed again at one moment.
However, before Hugo turned around, Kevin did walk across from Hugo first, showing a familiar smile on his face, and then gave Hugo a big hug, "I didn't expect to meet again on such an occasion."
Hugo stood up, and his face was filled with a bright smile, "I'm looking forward to a more friendly picture than before." In fact, Hugo only had some sporadic impressions of the scenes of his predecessor working with Kevin Bacon, but for himself, he still likes the actor Kevin very much.
Although Kevin is not the best actor in Hollywood, he has always occupied a special position in the hearts of many professional movie fans. Kevin has never received an Oscar nomination, at least not in 2014 before Hugo traveled, but this does not affect Kevin's position in the hearts of movie fans. He can be seen in wonderful works such as "The River.Wild", "Apollo X3 (Apollo.13), "Mystic River", "Fox Dialogue with Nixon (Frost/Nixon), "X-Men: First.Class" and other wonderful works. There is no doubt that he is a very outstanding actor.
Hugo first met Kevin before traveling through time because of an American drama called "The.Following". In this series, Hugo truly appreciates Kevin's unique, weird but cold charm of actors. The award is the best reward for the work of an actor, but not winning does not mean that an actor is not a good actor. Kevin is such a good actor.
So, when I saw Kevin, Hugo still felt very happy, let alone when Kevin was practicing the script just now, he released his kindness to himself. Hugo suspected that Kevin might be the only actor in the crew who welcomed him.
In fact, there are many future-family actors in "Yihai Xiong Feng", such as Kiefer Sutherland, who became famous in the future, plays Captain Kendrick, the subordinate of Colonel Jessip, and Captain Kendrick; for example, Cuba. Gooding. Jr., who later won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for "Jerry.Maguire" in the movie, plays a witness, Corporal Hanmek.
However, among these actors, Kevin is the only one who smiled at Hugo. It can be seen that Kevin and Hugo had a good relationship before, at least Kevin's smile is very sincere at this moment.
"I believe you can handle this situation." Kevin smiled and punched Hugo in the arm. "You have such a talent, it depends on whether you are willing to work hard."
Hugo's debut was to collaborate with Kevin. Hugo was only fifteen years old at the time, and Kevin, who was twenty-four years old, had already appeared in several films. He gave Hugo a lot of advice and also watched Hugo shine in the "Small Restaurant". Kevin was amazed by several of Hugo's works. Among them, Kevin and Hugo were still competitors in 1986, but Hugo relied on his own strength to defeat Kevin and won the role. Kevin was not jealous, but admired him more.
In Kevin's opinion, Hugo's downhill in the past two years is just squandering his talents. As long as Hugo is willing to correct his attitude and work hard again, it is only a matter of time before he returns to the public's attention. So, when Kevin heard that Hugo has become the male lead of "Yihai Xiongfeng", his first reaction was: Hugo has returned!
So Kevin was not stingy with his kindness, but instead began to look forward to Hugo's future achievements.
Hugo picked up the script on the table and shook it in front of Kevin, "I'm ready." What Hugo lacks the most now is time. He must have enough time to read the script, not to understand the characters and the plot. At least he needs to be able to read the script briefly and then slowly integrate it into the story.
The reason why Jack said he had a half hour rest in anger was actually to give Hugo enough time to read the script. Whether Jack was in good intentions or malicious, his purpose was to sharpen his knife and chop wood. In order not to drag down the quality of today's script practice, it is necessary to give Hugo enough time.
Kevin quickly understood what Hugo meant. He smiled and took over the script in Hugo's hand. "This morning's rehearsal mainly revolves around Jack. We will practice having Jack's scenes first." Then Kevin marked Hugo on the script.
Kevin plays the government's prosecutor Jack Ross in the play. In short, he is an actor who plays against Daniel, but Jack is a friend of Daniel in private, and he is the opponent when he stands in the Fa**.
"Then in the afternoon, I have to practice the scenes of court debate, because these scenes are the most intense places with the most conflicts, the most lines, and the highest requirements for the character's explosion." After Kevin finished giving advice to Hugo, he patted Hugo on the shoulder and turned around and left. There is no need to be polite anymore. Half an hour is not enough, so I'd better leave time for Hugo to work hard.
Hugo said to Kevin's back as he left, "Thank you." Kevin waved his right hand and left the conference room directly.
Hugo turned his head to look at Joseph, showed a helpless smile, and then let out a long sigh, "It's time to work hard."
Although Hugo knew that the shooting of "Yihai Xiongfeng" would probably be much more difficult than "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women", since he could get the role of Daniel through his own efforts, he must do his best, and even hopes to make a breakthrough in acting, not only for the crew, but also for himself. So what if there are many obstacles in front of him? Break through these obstacles one by one and win the respect he deserves with his outstanding performance. This is the truth!
Joseph originally wanted to comfort Hugo, but seeing Hugo recovering so quickly, his heart hanging in the air slowly fell down. Hugo is obviously trustworthy now.
After Hugo sat down, he soon started reading the script.
In fact, Hugo has watched "Yihai Xiongfeng". Although he doesn't remember the details of the movie, he still has an impression of the general plot. The character Daniel is a typical American hero. He reverses, defeats evil forces, and achieves justice when everyone is not optimistic about it. Of course, the so-called "evil forces" in "Yihai Xiongfeng" are not very accurate. This is a story involving the tradition of the US team. Interpreting from different angles will have different meanings. It is just that from the perspective of law and human rights, Daniel's persistence is correct.
During the process of reading the script, Hugo's memories of watching the movie were awakened bit by bit. The most exciting part of the whole movie was the scene where Daniel and Colonel Jessip confronted each other in the court. The two were tense, with a sharp edge, fighting for the initiative between each other. In the end, Daniel seized Colonel Jessip's negligence and loophole and completed an impossible task. The court duel was indeed full of joy, and even made Hugo develop a strong interest in legal dramas for a time.
But at the same time, Hugo also remembered the performances of the two actors in that scene. Jack Nicholson was still vicious and skillful, and was perfect. He outlined the image of a stubborn, conservative, arrogant and powerful soldier like Colonel Jessip, and is worthy of being an actor of the best actor. Tom Cruise also dedicated a rare and exciting performance in his career.
There has always been a debate about Tom's acting skills. Tom has won three Oscar nominations for acting, two Best Actor and one Best Supporting Actor. He is indeed a very outstanding actor. What impressed Hugo the most in his performance is "Born on July 4" in 1989. This work is the first of Tom's three nominations.
However, Tom's acting skills are not outstanding. At least in terms of Hugo's personal preferences, it is not the type he likes. Tom is not bad at acting, but his lack of control and is often easily out of control. In terms of "Yihai Xiongfeng", what impressed Hugo the most was that Daniel, played by Tom, lost control of his acting skills in France. Tom wanted to show Daniel's control as a lawyer through the change of priorities of his tone, but unfortunately he failed.
First, Tom did not change "temporarily", his tone was basically consistent, and he could not distinguish the key points in the words at all; second, the intensity of the slightness and heavyness, the gentle part was too gentle, so that people often think that Daniel was talking to himself and could not hear clearly, which was not allowed in the Dharma**; and the aggravation became yelling, and Tom equated "big voice" with "strong momentum", but simply used roaring to strengthen his momentum, which became a little hoarse.
This situation not only occurs in the work "Yihai Xiongfeng". It can be felt in almost all Tom's characters, either insufficient or too much, and the grasp of strength always lacks a three-point degree. Hugo always believes that Tom's best performance was "Magnolia" in 1999, but unfortunately, such precise control was just a stunning one.
Of course, this is just Hugo's personal opinion. In fact, Tom's acting skills in "Yihai Xiongfeng" have received a lot of praise. At least, it can be seen that Tom's control and grasp of the character. Although the rhythm and strength are a bit out of control, his exploration and understanding of the character is still worthy of recognition.
