083 Impressive
The other actors in the conference room were practicing the script with all concentration, but the actors who had no lines gradually discovered a little abnormality in the indoor atmosphere: everyone focused on Hugo.
It is not because Hugo, as a lawyer, that he has the right to ask questions, nor because Hugo is the male protagonist, nor because Hugo's voice is louder at this time, but because during the confrontation between Hugo and Kiefer, everyone's hearing and vision are affected by Hugo. Before others react, all their energy, heartbeat, and breathing follow the frequency of Hugo's voice and volume. This feeling of being restrained is more of an addiction.
After all, other actors were just bystanders, just like a jury attending the scene, and were unknowingly led by Hugo. Even the bystanders were like this. You can imagine that as Hugo's comment, Kief's feeling must be very bad at this time.
Kiefer only felt that his rhythm was completely disrupted. He didn't even notice his own loss of control. He just always felt that there was a ball of wool in his head when he was reciting the lines, and it was difficult to sort out a thought. This feeling was not wonderful.
Hugo was immersed in the process of his own understanding of the role. He could feel that he seemed to have grasped a little bit of the key points of the role, but he still needed to be constantly adjusted. At this time, Hugo felt a little special feeling. In fact, when an actor plays a role, it is impossible for an actor to have 100% acting skills. Some of them must be their own, but how to perfectly integrate the part of them with the role varies from person to person.
Some actors perform in their true colors, so more than 80% of the characters are their own parts; some actors break through the performance, and may show the unknown side of their hearts; some actors may interpret the role based on their own experience and experience, so the result depends on the actors' understanding of the role is very correct; and truly outstanding actors will consider the role based on the experience, story, and self-consideration, and then combine the two.
Al told Hugo that "don't think about acting skills, you should figure out the role", which is actually this truth. Only by truly understanding the meaning of this role and truly treating a role as a person can the character be portrayed. Although the role exists based on the story of the movie, even so, the character still has its own complete personality. His growth background, his psychological activities, the causes of his character, etc., are not out of thin air. The process of shaping this role is actually the process of the actor's understanding of the role.
So why does it mean that each character must have a part of his own? This is because the actor is also an independent individual. Different actors have different appearances, expressions, actions, backgrounds, and personalities. In short, Hugo plays Daniel and Tom and Brad plays this role, the effects presented must be different. Even if three people perform in the same way, the effects seen on the big screen will be different. What's more, if different actors perform in the same way, it's like seeing countless masks, without any novelty.
Therefore, actors must give the character a living life according to their own characteristics, and at the same time engrave their own seal, so that the character can become a unique existence, and this is the true acting skills of their own.
Hugo now vaguely noticed this, but what should he do? Hugo is trying now. He hopes to show Daniel's personality through speaking. Speaking can be divided into pronunciation, tone, volume and other aspects. Each detail will create different effects. Even the simplest sentence "Hello" will present completely different results due to the different ways of speaking.
Hugo is still not skilled at the moment, but he is working hard to master it. Although it is only the tip of the iceberg, he has touched the bottleneck of his first acting breakthrough, so what is presented to other actors is so eye-catching that he can't help but perform in amazement.
The script practice is still going on. Hugo and Kief, who are immersed in the performance, did not notice any abnormalities in the conference room at all, and they still dedicatedly carry out the practice.
Hugo's hypothetical question was quickly interrupted by Kevin again, and this time the judge agreed with Kevin's protest. This made Hugo pause a little before he regained his momentum, "Captain, Dawson's last report was given a moderate assessment because you found out that he secretly gave Bell food?"
This time, Kevin raised an objection again, but was rejected by the judge. Kiefer had to look at Hugo, "The Corporal Dawson was given a moderate comment because he violated military rules."
"Military Rules?" Hugo raised his voice slightly, but it was not the serious one, but with a little briskness, as if he was very curious about this question, "What military rule did he violate?" But when facing Hugo's question, Kiefer could not answer. Hugo did not intend to give him more time to think, and then continued, "Captain Kendrick, Dawson gave food to a hungry man, which military rule did he violate?" Hugo deliberately slowed down his speech and magnified the incredible infinity.
"He violated the order." Kiefer was forced to say, but then Hugo took it again, "because he fulfilled his values," Hugo spoke faster and faster, and the corresponding volume also raised a little, quickly and clearly conveying his views to everyone's ears. "I made a decision related to the health of a Marine, and this was inconsistent with your order, so I had to be punished, is that right?"
Hugo obviously didn't yell or even amplify the sound, but the compulsion of pressing step by step made Kiefer very uncomfortable. Instead, he retorted loudly, "Certified Corporal Dawson violated the order!"
"But that's not a real order, isn't it?" Hugo still chased after him, but this time he made his tone a little relaxed, and there was a little more ridicule and sarcasm compared to the tense just now. "After all, it's a peaceful era, and he has not been sent to guard the hills or attack the beachheads. I mean, a Marine with the ability of Dawson can decide which orders are important and which orders may be... morally doubtful?"
Hugo's rhetorical question left Keef speechless again, "Captain Kendrick?" But Hugo obviously was not going to let Keef go, "Is that true? Can Dawson decide for himself what orders should he obey?"
"No, he can't." Kiefer was forced to give a negative answer.
"Curtis Bell's affairs have given him education, right?" Hugo's voice was calm and tense, and immediately received a positive answer from Kiefer gritted his teeth. "You are sure that's the case, right?"
"Oppose!" "Oppose is effective!" Kevin and the judge interrupted Hugo's pressing step by step again.
"Captain Kendrick, the last question." Hugo suddenly smiled at Kiefer, provoking Kiefer almost didn't curse, but Hugo quickly restrained his smile, emphasized his tone, and said clearly, "If you order Dawson to enforce the red regulations on San Diego..."
Sure enough, Kiefer couldn't help it anymore. He interrupted Hugo's words in anger, "I specially ordered my subordinates..." But Hugo was still unmoved, raised his voice and pressed Kiefer down again, and continued to say his words in a tone that was as heavy as a thousand pounds, "Will he violate the order again?"
"Captain, don't answer." Kevin said again.
Hugo glared at Kevin fiercely, "No need to answer, I'll finish asking."
"Captain Kendrick, are you..." Next was a conversation between Kevin and Keef, but Kevin was halfway through, and a sudden applause broke out in the conference room. This immediately made everyone look angry: this is a script practice occasion, not a stage performance on Broadway. It is not allowed to interrupt the practice with polite things like applause.
So everyone was angrily looking for the culprit, but when they looked up, they found that Jack Nicholson was applauding. There was a faint smile on his face. He didn't care about interrupting the script practice at all, but looked at Hugo with a recognized look. Everyone stopped.
Jack really understood this move. He was very satisfied with Hugo's performance just now. Hugo won Jack's respect with his outstanding performance. The other actors in the conference room had nothing to say at this time. Although Hugo was late this morning and Hugo was not as famous as Tom, Hugo proved himself with his diligent and serious attitude and wonderful practice effects in today's script practice.
I have to say that everyone is impressed by Hugo. The current winner of the worst male lead in the Golden Raspberry Award is obviously not just a handsome vase, his strength is enough to make people look at it.
Jack only applauded for a few times. After the applause, he looked at Robert, and Robert's eyes were full of smiles. In fact, the reason why Jack interrupted his practice was because Hugo's part was over, and he had to express his satisfaction with Hugo as soon as possible.
But when everyone calmed down and focused their attention on Hugo, Jack just said, "Sorry to interrupt the practice. Keep going now." It seems that he did not intend to pick up Hugo directly, but just expressed his recognition of Hugo, that's all.
Chapter completed!
