Superstar

Hearing the explanation from the left hand side, Hugo woke up. He was so involved that he forgot to separate the first half and the second half. This was also a time for the stage to change the scenery and give the actors a short break.

Hugo turned his head and looked to the left, showing a smile to express his gratitude. Then he realized that all the lights in the theater were still not lit up, dimly indistinct, so he simply nodded to pass. gratitude. The person sitting next door just nodded slightly, even if he responded, obviously he had no plans to communicate further.

Hugo's gaze stopped subconsciously on the side faces of the people on the left hand side, because these people were late just now. Although they did not cause any special commotion, it was obviously not polite to watch a Broadway show. Hugo paid more attention to them.

Sitting on the left hand side of Hugo is a strong big man. He is leaning on the back of the chair. From the dim light, you can vaguely see his strong muscle lines, but Hugo strongly suspects this. The big man fell asleep because he didn't move at all.

One person in the past is a relatively slender man. The figure outlined by the entire "yin" shadow is two sizes smaller, almost completely hidden by the big man. It is estimated that he was talking to Hugo just now. , But Hugo can’t see clearly, he can only see his slightly sharp nose tip, abruptly squeezing a curve in the dark shadow, twisting the hazy shadow abruptly. A cold shape.

Is this person the special guest invited by Catherine? Otherwise, he is late for the VIP seat, and a large group of people are following. Apart from this reason, it is difficult for Hugo to imagine a better explanation.

As if aware of Hugo's gaze, the man shrank back. The whole person was hidden in the shadow of the big man and completely disappeared from Hugo's sight. Hugo realized that he was a little abrupt, so he immediately withdrew his gaze and looked back at the heavy curtain on the stage.

"Hugo, did you see Catherine's performance just now? Isn't it ‘exquisite’?" Joseph gently pulled Hugo’s right arm and said in a low voice. Although it is time to rest, everyone is not making a lot of noise, but the voice that knows so much is covered in the faint darkness.

Hugo nodded vigorously, "Of course, you forgot, I've been here all the time." Hugo can feel the excitement hidden in Joseph's words. Watching this top actor's performance up close is indeed amazing. Endlessly, "Did you find out? Catherine's momentum displayed throughout the performance easily promoted the development of the entire plot, taking everything in her hands... I think this is the so-called actor temperament."

Hugo’s viewing angle is slightly different from Joseph’s. He observes more of the interaction and involvement between actors on stage. Each actor’s performance has distinctive characteristics. On Broadway stage, only the performance of all actors can be gathered. Only by being together can we dedicate an exceptionally brilliant drama. If there is a problem in any link, it is possible to lose all the games.

This reminds Hugo of the tradition of British actors. Although the center of the world’s film industry is Hollywood in the United States, people have always believed that American films represent business and European films represent art. Although this view has changed since the second decade of the 21st century, The general pattern is still the same. In the pattern of European movies, the actors' solid performance skills are even more obvious to all. This also makes European actors always able to make great achievements after entering Hollywood.

Among them, British actors are the most special existence. People have joked that if British actors want to achieve results, there is a path that no one can avoid. First, they are from college, which is the so-called professional background. ; Second, the West End is influenced by stage plays in London’s West End. The West End and Broadway are ranked as the world’s two major theater centers, which means that actors must have enough performance experience to accumulate; third, they must be able to abandon their own image and play the role of a break. Sex, such as homosexuality, perverts, murderers, and other roles. After experiencing all of this, the British actor is considered to be initially qualified to be a "master".

The fact is also true, whether it is a "flower" bottle actor of the appearance association like "The Spirit Prince" Orlando-Bloom (orla), or it seems to have starred in the "Harry Bo" series, "Downton" The top old drama bones like Maggie Smith of The Manor have all grown up step by step in this way. Even if there are later child star actors like the little actors in the Harry Potter series, when they grow up, they will re-travel the path that British actors have to pass, and complete the ancient British stubborn but prudent. Tradition.

The reason why the performance of stage plays is placed in such an important position is because it is a test of many aspects such as the actor's on-site reaction, the exaggeration and exquisiteness of emotions, the involvement and entanglement of the opponent drama, the communication with the audience, and the appeal of the performance. , An excellent stage actor has all the conditions to become an excellent film actor, but an excellent film actor may not be able to obtain corresponding recognition on the stage.

Catherine Hepburn, a well-known ‘female’ actor, not only has spirituality and aura, her acting skills are also a kind of performance temperament accumulated on Broadway for many years. Just now Hugo personally experienced this so-called temperament. Catherine’s every move can grab the audience’s attention and attention, and make people never think about "how this actor or this role should be...", but rather firmly believe that this role should be like this. This kind of natural performance temperament is a kind of extreme enjoyment for the audience, and for the actors who are in the same industry, it is a kind of'spirit' impact and baptism.

No wonder British actors have to withstand the test of stage plays. No wonder so many actors like to walk into Broadway to watch performances, because this is not only a kind of enjoyment, but also a kind of learning.

Of course, in the same way, if an actor's performance skills are not solid enough to stand on stage, it is easy to find flaws. In front of Catherine's powerful air scene, the solid performance foundation of several other actors on the same stage made them not shining, but they did not fall under the wind, and Christopher Reeve made Hugo shine even more.

This reminds Hugo of what he said about Christopher. In fact, Christopher is an outstanding actor. He was also a professional performer, and then he played in Broadway dramas for a few years. His basic skills are very solid. , It was just a "Superman" that made him famous all over the world, and people focused on his handsome appearance, thus ignoring his performance ability. And this kind of "flower" bottle image followed him all his life until his death.

After relying on "Superman" to get huge praise, Christopher still returned to the Broadway stage to star in an unknown drama with Catherine, presumably because he has always pursued acting skills.

Hugo inexplicably remembered Lang’s previous acting planning for Lancaster. Although he didn’t like Lang, he could not deny Lang’s professionalism. He built an early stage for Lancaster to rely on his acting skills to start steadily. This enabled Hugo to quickly win acting recognition after appearing in "Smell the Fragrance and Know the "Female" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" because of the relevant experience before, otherwise people would still only treat Christopher as they would. Hugo is positioned in the position of the "flower" bottle. After all, Hugo's opponents in the two movies are two powerful movie star-level actors.

Hugo’s thoughts were chaotic and shared with Joseph intermittently. Joseph also didn’t like Lang, but he also agreed with Hugo’s ideas, "Perhaps Lang is a jerk, but he is The position of the agent is indeed capable." This is also the reason why the two opponents of Tracy and Lang are getting stronger, because they have real materials.

"Cough...cough..." A low cough came from the left hand, Hugo and Joseph looked over subconsciously, and then Hugo saw the mysterious guest with a pointed nose pointing to the stage. Hugo turned his head to look. When the curtain was faintly shaking, it seemed that there was not much time from the beginning.

Hugo knows that the other party must be reminding himself not to continue the conversation. It is indeed very impolite to disturb others while watching the drama. Although Hugo and Joseph’s conversation are very quiet and not intermittent. Coherent, but Hugo realized that he was a little too excited just now, and it still affected others, so he quickly bowed his head and said "sorry" to the mysterious guest, and then sat quietly with Joseph, waiting for the second half to re-draw The curtain opens.

In fact, there is still some time before the opening of the second half. The sound of Xi Xi Suo Suo on the scene continued for a while, and then gradually calmed down~www.readwn.com~ After waiting for about two minutes, the curtain slowly opened. Start again in the second half.

The story of the second half gradually deviated from the briskness of the first half. Mrs. Bazel, played by Catherine, gradually began to think about the philosophical question of "whether God really exists..." more and more. Everyone fell silent, and fell into deep thought as the dialogue proceeded.

Hugo is no exception, but he is also observing how the actors perform on stage after the burden of acting has increased. For Hugo, a non-major actor who was halfway through, continuous learning and continuous hard work are the only way for him to progress. It is really rare to see Catherine, Christopher and others on the Broadway stage at such a close distance. Hugo is not Willing to miss it. Therefore, Hugo looked very seriously. He dragged his cheeks and looked at the stage almost intently, putting all his thoughts on the stage.

The audience fell into a focused silence, and even the sound of breathing was lightened a lot, lest they would interrupt the ‘pretty’ performance on stage with a little movement or noise. But at this moment, on the left side of the first floor, a flashlight suddenly lit up. Although it was just a "click" flash, it still made many audiences subconsciously murmur. The flashing light interrupted the process of watching the performance and was very dissatisfied. No one will be satisfied with such a situation.
