Hugo has encountered a setback, and it is a huge gap, but he does not intend to raise his hand to surrender. On the contrary, he has burned a strong fighting spirit. He is eager to make a breakthrough and make a greater breakthrough in acting. , Hugo hopes to be the kind of actor who uses his soul and life to perform. The hearty sense of catharsis makes people so intoxicated. This is also an important reason why he unswervingly chose "Pulp Fiction".

Vincent is an ordinary person, an ordinary person with no characteristics, but this statement is also incorrect, because any ordinary person in the world also has his own personality, including "no personality" is also a kind of personality, how It is also difficult to present a mediocre ordinary person. More importantly, when an ordinary character appears in a movie, as long as he is related to the plot, then he has his own personality, even if he is in "Transformers" or "Fast." Among the works that use characters as a selling point, characters also have their own personalities.

Take "The Cramers" as an example. This movie can be regarded as a clash of acting skills between Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep. Then Dustin plays Tai Is De Kramer really an ordinary person without any characteristics? Obviously not.

Ted is an ordinary person. He is not taciturn and hides his love for his son under a cold appearance; nor is he in love, and must be equal friends with his son. As a father, Ted is just busy at work and his son. In between, both of them were neglected, and neither of them was taken care of. In front of his son, he did not pretend to be deep patience, nor bored by trivialities, but he treats his son with gentleness every day, and finds a job for his son to endure humiliation in a day. This is the warmest and simplest father and son. Affection.

Ted, a slightly cowardly but gentle character, under Dustin's interpretation, there is no explosion, no special focus, but he impeccably dismissed Ted’s love for family. It is firmly presented, one more point is too much, one point is not enough. Dustin's grasp of the role has found a delicate balance in the film and life, surpassing performance, surpassing the so-called soul possession, in full of interest and harmony. The meaning is still inexhaustible, but the most perfect interpretation of the "degree" of acting is captured.

Dustin’s interpretation of this role completely explained “the best acting skills are no acting skills.” In other words, he combined the role with himself, making it impossible to distinguish it. This is better than him. Dedicated performances in "Rain Man" are more worthy of appreciation and can be regarded as the pinnacle of acting.

Dustin demonstrated a typical example of "how to act an ordinary person well". His grasp of the "degree" of acting skills reached the pinnacle in the movie "The Cramers". If you take out this movie alone and try to analyze Dustin's acting skills, people will quickly find that there is nothing to analyze.

Although Vincent’s role is more than a little bit worse than Ted Kramer’s, Hugo hopes to be able to touch Dastin in Vincent’s performance when he originally performed Kramer’s role. The state, even if it is just a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.

So, what kind of personality should Vincent have? Or in other words, how his ordinaryness was caused, and what details are hidden.

First of all, why did Vincent become a triad? Obviously this is not mentioned in Quentin’s story at all, and there is even no clue, but Hugo felt that maybe Vincent was weak and small when he was a child, and was bullied by others, which made him unable to participate in any sports, nor did he think. Ways to integrate into the campus community-it can even be said that he dropped out of school before finishing fifth grade.

The days of walking on the streets made Vincent’s personality more impulsive. He used the cleverness he learned to survive under oppression to find a way to survive on the streets. When he won the approval of the community gang boss Masha, he paid With all his loyalty and willingness to do anything for Masha, this also makes Masha willing to trust Vincent-no one can be more reliable than a little brother who is not smart enough but loyal enough. This allowed Vincent to gradually grow into one of Marsha's most trusted thugs.

What about Jules? How did Vincent meet Jules?

Is it just because Masha put them together? Obviously this should not be the case. Maybe Vincent and Jules knew each other from a fight. No, this does not fit the character trend of the characters in the plot. It should be because Vincent, who is uneducated, thinks Jules is very literate and admires him. Jules can recite " "The Bible", although this makes Vincent feel a little annoying, but he thinks it is still a bit cool, and Jules's knowledge is also very broad, and he is also very familiar with women's affairs, which makes Vincent even more admired.

Of course, Vincent will not show it clearly, and he does not even admit that he admires Jules, because he thinks the two of them are partners and are equal. But when talking, the psychological reaction will inevitably show up.

In this way, Vincent’s personality can be sketched out. He is a little clever, but he is still a bit rough, and he doesn’t pay much attention to details. He has some strategies and courage, but he can’t make it to the stage and encounter problems. In order to conceal his ignorance, he is always reluctant to express his inner emotions. For example, even if he admires Jules, he will not express it blatantly. Of course, this also makes He is very sensitive to "ignorance", he hates others to challenge his authority, he doesn't want to relive his childhood; at the same time, he likes to show off, which is also a way to hide his ignorance, but he is smart enough Until he doesn’t deliberately show off, but vaguely show off, such as his shiny back, that’s the case, but with too much oil, the "degree" is not sure enough to make him fall out of grade; for another example, he He likes to wear a suit, but he is full of swear words. This is the difference between him and a real gentleman...

Think about it carefully, in fact, Vincent is not without any personality, and Quentin also left some space in the script for Hugo to play.

To sum it up briefly, Vincent's personality is a bit pretending, a bit boring, and a bit deceitful. On the surface, he doesn't have any special highlights, but the details can outline his image.

Thinking of this, Hugo's mind suddenly brightened, why Dustin in the "Kramers" makes people feel his profound performance skills, the focus is on the details. Since ordinary characters do not have the power point-unlike Amon Goss who have explosive borrowing points, their detailed outlines are more important, such as clothes, shirts or t-shirts, two-piece suits or sweater sets. Shirts; for example, hairstyles, long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair, or not taken care of; for example, movements, walking speed, straight waist or hunchback; for example, speaking accent, whether it is east coast or west coast, is it pure and beautiful or deliberate The copycat version that imitates the British accent... These details are all from the gradual formation of a character during the growth process, which is the most important part of acting.

In fact, Hugo had touched this point vaguely before that. For example, when he starred in "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Schindler's List", Hugo paid attention to the details, but during those performances, Hugo pays more attention to bursting out the whole emotion through the brewing and erupting of inner emotions, and the details are integrated into the performance and completed in one go.

But now, Hugo has no explosive point, so he has to outline Vincent in his mind. For example, when starting the scene, Vincent is showing off his experience of going to the Netherlands to Jules. What is his mentality?

For one thing, Vincent admired Jules, so when he experienced things that Jules did not experience, he was proud of him, and at the same time he hoped to be recognized by Jules occasionally, which proved that he was very powerful. Let Vincent continue to be big against Holland. The details of the hemp bar's explanation were echoed.

Secondly, Vincent wanted to conceal his illiterate things. Going to the Netherlands is a big deal for him, but he also wanted to bluff and show that he didn't care at all, so he should try to make his own The voice fell, pretending not to care, but inadvertently the eyes, corners of the mouth or tone of voice would reveal his emotions.

Thirdly, this may be the most "cultural" thing Vincent has experienced in his life, so he will unconsciously take pride in his explanation, but in the dialogue he will think that "beer with glass "This thing is very miraculous. This is a loophole that he didn't even notice. He still has to talk proudly, let alone the topic of McDonald's. Pretending to have been exposed without knowing it is the greatest feature of this man Vincent.

In this way, Hugo doesn’t need to think about comedy or black humor. He doesn’t need to relax and converge. All he needs to do is to present such a "real" Vincent, a joke. It came out naturally.

Imagine a person proudly showing you that he has eaten McDonald's in Holland. He thinks this is a very cultural thing. This incident itself is a laughing point, and this person is still completely unaware, this is also a laughing point. This is the essence of black humor.

Therefore, Hugo’s performance just now went in the wrong direction from the root. What he has to consider is not how the comedy should be played, but what the character should look like in the story, and then the humor created by the script is naturally presented. Come out ~www.readwn.com~ All these thoughts just now are Hugo’s own ideas and the soul that Hugo gave to Vincent himself. This is obviously the Hugo version of Vincent. Then, What effect will it show up?

Hugo didn’t know how Dustin figured out his acting skills when he starred in "The Cramers", but now he has touched a new direction in acting. He wants to try and see, and he wants to make a breakthrough. So, In this way, "Pulp Fiction" does not limit Hugo's acting as professional film critics said. On the contrary, it also provides Hugo with an opportunity to think about acting from a new perspective.

As for the results, it depends on the next performance.

"I'm fine, let's start shooting in two minutes." Hugo stood up, patted his pants, stood still, adjusted his breathing, and started to relax his muscles: He was sure that he was ready!
