Chapter 10 010 Premonition of Failure

Hugo must admit that Elizabeth's provocation is too obvious. If the other party is a young girl, it is a beautiful thing, but if there is a housewife who can be her own mother, it is not so beautiful. Hugo watched Elisabeth's peacock blue eyeshadow flickering in his own realization, and only felt powerless.

Elizabeth's thinly calloused fingertips slid across Hugo's abdominal muscles, with such a distinct tone. The erotic action startled Hugo, and he only felt a light goosebump floating in his abdomen. This made Hugo a little flustered. He had never encountered such a situation before, and naturally he didn't know how to deal with it. In an emergency, this solution flashed in Hugo's mind, and finally he decided to advance instead of retreat.

Hugo raised his right hand, held Elizabeth's palm that was gently rubbing against his abdominal muscles, took it slightly away from his body, and then used the tip of his index finger to lightly buckle Elizabeth with his fingernails. The palm of her hand, but still had that warm and warm smile on her face. An electric current made Elizabeth's muscles stiffen, and then she retracted her palm.

This time it was Elizabeth's turn to be taken aback, but her face didn't show, instead she cast a look at Hugo. If it was a beautiful woman who made this expression, it must be very charming, but it's a pity Elisabeth was inappropriate, especially the peacock blue eyeshadow that made Hugo's image of "Susan. Boyle" flicker in Hugo's head. This made the scene look awkward.

Elizabeth said to Hugo softly, "As expected, you are familiar with the road, are you teasing me?"

Familiar with the road? What does this mean. Hugo didn't think deeply, but chuckled lightly, the clear and sunny smile on the corner of his mouth fully bloomed, making Elizabeth's heart beat even more irregularly, "I thought this was the audition. part of it."

Hugo's frank words made Elizabeth stunned for a while, and then she saw Hugo looking at Jon, who had been sitting next to him watching the play, "Is that so, Jon?"

Jon heard Hugo's call and could not help but coughed softly. As a representative of the Actors Guild, he witnessed the whole process just now. Although everything happened in the dark just now, nothing could be seen on the bright side. Come, but Jon has been rolling around in this industry for so long, he naturally knows that this is actually a clear-cut rule, so he has no need to stop it. But the rules are the rules, and being pierced by Hugo so clearly, Jon's position is indeed subtle.

Jon quickly took his eyes back, landed on Elizabeth, and said solemnly, "Can the audition begin?"

Elizabeth had also reacted at this time, looked at Hugo deeply, and scanned his sturdy body up and down. The eyes of the red fruit made Hugo feel very uncomfortable. This time Elizabeth quickly withdrew her eyes, and the corner of her mouth drew an arc, "Next, try to read this line."

Hugo knew that the main event was about to begin, so he sorted out the thoughts in his head, looked at the script handed over by Elizabeth, took it over with his right hand, and put it on the table again, and then he was in Joe. En and Elizabeth lowered their heads in astonishment, and buttoned their shirts one by one.

Looking at Hugo's orderly movements, Jon was obviously struggling to hold back his laughter. He never thought that Hugo was such a person with such a good sense of humor before, especially with Elizabeth just now. According to the rules, Hugo's action of buttoning his shirt is even more joyful now, but when he thinks of the woman's order, Jon's smile immediately shrinks a lot. And Elizabeth's eyes still had an unconcealed surprise - or she didn't want to hide it at all, just looking at Hugo's eyes became more interesting.

In fact, for Hugo, the shirt is open. chest. dew. He recited the lines so hard that it made him feel like he was in a play. Either he took off his clothes or buttoned them up, whichever was more appropriate. Hugo just watched the scene that Elizabeth instructed. After thinking about the content, he finally decided that it would be more appropriate to button up.

After finishing his shirt, Hugo picked up the script again, and first looked up and down the script with his eyes. Hugo is not an actor from a professional school. He is completely self-taught because of his interest. He does not know how to perform. He just follows the classic characters in classic movies and uses imitation methods to figure out his acting skills. I know if I have learned a trick or not, anyway, neither the role model nor the supporting role does not need acting skills.

It was the first official audition today, and Hugo didn't know how to deal with it, and finally decided to imitate his predecessors. Hugo has not seen "Love in the River", but he has seen "The Years of Burning Love". Brad's roles in these two works are relatively similar. Today, Hugo is imitating Brad in "The Burning Love". The way of acting in "The Years". Using Brad's performance seems to be against the real Brad Pitt, which is also the root cause of Hugo's lack of confidence today. But no matter what, you always have to try it before you know it. Besides, Hugo is not completely copied. Even if the same role and the same performance method are used, the effects presented by different actors will not be the same.

Although not from a professional background, Hugo also knew the importance of understanding lines, because he found that many actors have a special rhythm and intonation when playing roles. To be precise, the characteristics of each person's speech are different. Talking to the character of the character is a multiplier for the interpretation of the character.

After reading the lines in detail, Hugo adjusted his breathing, and then said, "Nevertheless, Paul and I have received as much fishing training as theological teaching." Hugo's voice was already very mellow. , with a bit of melancholy in the warmth and geniality, like a velvet-like intoxication. At this time, Hugo deliberately slowed down and softened the speed of his speech, so this line has a rhythm that goes deep into his heart.

"As a Presbyterian, my father believed that human nature is inherently evil and that only by acting according to God's will can we regain strength and beauty." This line is a complete sentence, consisting of three clauses, and Hugo slows his breath This makes the whole sentence speak slowly, adding some wise men's understanding, which makes the words more meaningful, "For him, salmon, like eternal redemption, is the grace of God. , this grace comes from art, and art doesn’t come easily.”

Hugo is actually a musician, so he has a special rhythm for mastering the rhythm when reciting lines. He presents a line full of wisdom in the form of sonnets, and the effect is unexpected and wonderful. It can be said that Hugo has his own understanding of the lines, and tried his best to combine the characters with the lines. If this line was performed with a shirt open, it would definitely be very funny. Hugo buttoned his shirt considering the content of the line. Now it seems that it is obviously a wise choice.

After the line was finished, Hugo still felt a little unfinished. This line left him too little room to play. He had just entered the state, and the line was over. But even so, Hugo is still very satisfied. He enjoys the process of the performance very much. Before today, Hugo's most lines in the performance were of such weight, but today he got it in the audition. The opportunity to perform with a heavy weight is really a wonderful thing.

After the performance of the lines, Hugo looked at Elizabeth with anticipation. He was very satisfied with his performance just now, but he didn't know what it would look like in the eyes of others. What kind of state his expression, eyes, movements, and the whole performance combined must be left to Elizabeth to make judgments.

Although Jon sitting next to him is only the representative agent of the Actors Guild, he has seen countless audition occasions. Hugo's audition performance is absolutely amazing, even if it is still a bit rough, but Hugo's grasp of the rhythm of the lines, The control of the character's emotions can clearly see his talent, and the three bad films of "Hudson's Eagle", "Deadly Hour" and "Monster" have not completely exhausted his talent.

You know, before these three works, Hugo was famous for his acting talent, not to mention his outstanding performance in the "Dead Poets Society" that made him famous, but after that, Hugo's works chose There was a serious deviation, which led to the successive "favors" of the Golden Raspberry Awards.

In fact, this is a good thing. After polishing and precipitation, Hugo can still become an excellent actor, instead of just relying on the vase of skin. However, Jon knew that the decision to audition was not in his hands, and the situation he knew was not optimistic. Jon couldn't help but look at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth's expression was very calm, and there was not much special expression, but in fact, she still admired Hugo's performance just now. Although Hugo just won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor last night, not to mention the feat of being nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award three times in two years, Elizabeth will not forget Hugo's famous work "Poem of Death" society".

In the "Dead Poets Society", Hugo performed the role of Neil Perry to the fullest. His demeanor, eyes, body, lines... all aspects have reached a height of integration, which is more than that of the actor Robin Williams. Robin. Williams is no less, and in that year's awards season, Hugo was not able to get any Best Supporting Actor nominations, but this matter aroused the dissatisfaction of the entire critics.

The performance just now reminded Elizabeth of Hugo's performance in the "Dead Poets Society", and once again saw Hugo's amazing talent that attracted the attention of countless people. Unfortunately, many things were doomed before Hugo auditioned, and Elizabeth had no plans to change.

"Hugo, do you have any special opinion on this script?" Elisabeth failed Hugo's ardent hope and did not intend to comment on his performance, but changed the subject.

Hugo didn't know how the Hollywood audition process worked, but Elizabeth didn't say anything about her performance and deliberately changed the subject, which was obviously not normal. Hugo once again turned his attention to the script in his hands. The line just now was not actually the line of the second son Paul in "Love in the River", but the line of the eldest son Newman. This kind of thing was not the case when Hugo participated in the supporting role interview before. Rare, but clearly noteworthy during a lead interview.

Could it be that his audition had an accident before it even started, or was even doomed to fail? This is too weird!
