Over the past year, you seem to have experienced changes that many people find hard to experience in a lifetime. Let's talk about that.Jay also wisely avoided the topic of Jack Nicholson; there would be plenty of opportunities when Hugo promoted a few good men, so there was no rush today.Hugo nodded, "Yes, you know, after going through the tearful incident at the Golden Raspberry Awards, it's not easy to get back on your feet. I just hope you don't bring that photo out again."Hugo was referring to the embarrassing photo published by the Los Angeles Times after the Golden Raspberry Awards, showing him crying with tears and snot running down his face. This would likely become the most significant photo of Hugo's career."We are a very conscientious show; we would absolutely never do that," Jay said with a straight face, but he cast his gaze toward the raspberry sculpture in front of the stage. A single look was enough to make the laughter rise again without any explanation."Hugo, to return to your current position from the low point, you must have put in more effort than the average person.""I don't know how I compare to the average person, but at the very least, I know I'm just doing my best to be the best I can be," Hugo said earnestly. "I hope my current efforts are enough, because I don't know if I can keep pushing myself." As he spoke, Hugo made an exaggerated, straining expression, like a cartoon character, making people unable to help but laugh."The audience will have a chance to find out," Jay said meaningfully, clearly implying that the currently showing scent of a woman was a great opportunity. "Let's take a break and we'll be right back. Don't worry, Hugo will still be here."The live Band music started playing. Jay lowered his head and said to Hugo, "You're doing great." The microphone had already been turned off, so these words could only be heard between the two of them."Phew, that's useful. At least when my agent comes to check on my performance later, I can use that to answer him." Hugo's words made Jay chuckle.In Jay's view, Hugo, sitting in the talk show seat, although a bit nervous, had a natural sense of control. He didn't need to think or manage it deliberately; he could present his words in the most direct, sincere, and interesting way. This was a gift, like acting or singing—an innate hosting talent. However, Hugo was still a bit green right now, not knowing how to take the initiative, and often presented himself under Jay's guidance.At this moment, when Jay recalled Hugo's performance at the Golden Raspberry Awards, it didn't feel as embarrassing anymore. Perhaps Hugo was an Actor underestimated by everyone; there were still countless things on him worth exploring, waiting for people to read slowly. This was an interesting thing. Because Hugo was a book, a book similar to In Search of Lost Time or One Hundred Years of Solitude, or at worst, a storybook like Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales, not a vase.After the commercial break, Jay quickly shifted the topic to the main point. "Can it be a little quieter on set? I can barely hear the director. I know you all love Hugo, and I do too, but you don't need to hit me in such a direct way."Jay's words made Hugo, sitting next to him, laugh. In fact, Hugo was still not used to such compliments. He always felt that what Jay said wasn't about him, or that the cheers and screams of the audience weren't directed at him. This feeling was too subtle."So, Halloween is coming up. Do you have any plans for Halloween this year?" When recording the show, there was only a week left until Halloween, so this was naturally a topic that couldn't be skipped, and Jay asked directly."Oh, I'm not sure. Maybe I need to be on a show or participate in promotions or something." Although Hugo was a time-traveler, in the 21st century, Halloween was celebrated in many big cities around the world, including Asia, so he had many Halloween experiences. Because Halloween meant revelry, and for the Glory to Death Band, revelry meant performance opportunities."Do you like Halloween? Do you like wearing masks, or the 'trick or treat' game?" Jay brought up a topic the audience was interested in.Hugo shook his head. "Oh, no, because I have bad memories of Halloween. Once, I draped a white bed sheet over my head and tied a belt around my waist, wanting to pretend to be a ghost, but the result wasn't very successful." Before Hugo finished his story, the audience was already laughing uncontrollably. A ghost? This costume was just too explosive."How so, the result wasn't very successful?" Jay was also holding back laughter and continued to ask."Uh, I was led in the wrong direction by a friend and fell into a bush? Then I was teased by a group of'superheroes' and crashed into a plane tree?" This was Hugo's real experience. Back then, they had played very wildly, and of course, he had also been teased quite a bit, but it was a very memorable Halloween, and it was still vivid in his mind when he looked back on it today.Hugo's words caused the laughter on set to erupt completely. Jay also asked with a smile, "Why didn't you try digging two holes for your eyes?""I tried," Hugo said immediately, feeling depressed. "But when my friend helped me put on the costume, the two holes were placed at the butt position, you know...""Hahahaha..." Imagining this scene in one's head was truly hilarious. Even Hugo himself laughed. That was the best time the Glory to Death Band had together."I can feel why you don't like Halloween," Jay said meaningfully, a smile still lingering on the corners of his mouth. Hugo was indeed different from most handsome guys. He didn't have any so-called idol baggage and could joke around without restraint, which was very rare. But thinking about it carefully, Hugo's performance at the Golden Raspberry Awards was actually a signal, so his excellence today was not surprising."Then I can only hope I have work this Halloween," Hugo shrugged and said."If you really like Hugo, or if you hate Hugo, I hope everyone can go to the cinema to watch this movie called scent of a woman, because Hugo contributed a very brilliant performance in it." Jay quickly cut into today's official topic. "Hugo, tell us about this story.""No problem." Hugo restrained his smile and adjusted his breathing. "This tells the story of two men."Silence. One second later, "That's it?" Jay clearly didn't expect Hugo's statement to be so brief."Yes, because this is a very complex story, and it's troublesome to explain." Hugo's difficult expression caused light laughter to ring out on set. "Actually, strictly speaking, it's that the character I play, Charlie, lets the Lieutenant Colonel rediscover the meaning of living, while the Lieutenant Colonel helps Charlie firm up his own beliefs.""Uh, what about the woman?" Jay had actually seen the movie, but he still asked this question on behalf of the audience."I hope to keep this suspense in the cinema and wait for everyone to discover it." Although Hugo was honest, he still had this bit of common sense. After finishing, he winked slyly at Jay, making Jay laugh out loud too."Then let's talk about the brilliant performances in the movie. This time, your excellence has reminded many people of how stunning you were in dead poets society." Jay followed the trend, the topic still revolving around the movie, but it was more closely tied to Hugo. "But we all know you encountered some trouble before, so how did you convince Martin to give you this role during the audition?""This is actually very interesting. When I went for the audition, Martin only gave me thirty seconds to perform. My first reaction was, 'What? What do you want me to do in thirty seconds?' My mind went blank." Hugo's vivid tone made the audience listening on set smile. "So I told the truth.""What? What did you say?" Jay was a bit surprised."I said I didn't know what I could do because thirty seconds was too short." Hugo said honestly, which immediately caused Jay and the audience to exclaim. "My action like this caused dissatisfaction from Martin and others, so the conversation began. Later, I tried hard to explain my point of view and performed the audition.""Thirty seconds?""Yes. But I told the movie and the character many of my own understandings." Hugo summarized in one sentence. "I always thought that it was because of my unremitting efforts that I got the role of Charlie, but the interesting part is here. After joining the crew, while chatting with Martin one time, he denied my statement.""Wow, that's really interesting." Jay couldn't help but exclaim."Martin told me that besides being well-prepared and working hard enough, the main reason they valued me was because of my honesty, which is similar to the character of Charlie." Hugo's words made Jay look unbearable, and Jay took over the topic. "Then that's terrible. I guess many movie auditions will be very difficult in the future."Indeed, if everyone participated in interviews like Hugo auditioning for scent of a woman, I guess everyone would be unemployed. Truly smart auditioning is about prescribing the right medicine. Every character and every crew is different, so the requirements for Actors are naturally different. a few good men and scent of a woman were very different.Hugo also understood the meaning in Jay's words, laughing and waving his hands repeatedly. "I hope Actors who fail their auditions don't come looking for me; this method wasn't proposed by me.""Audience friends, this is Hugo Lancaster. Please go to the cinema to watch scent of a woman. You will appreciate more of Hugo's charm on the big screen." Jay wrapped up the topic and quickly concluded the show. They had chatted too happily today and slightly exceeded the time. "Hugo, thank you, thank you for coming today!" After speaking, Jay held Hugo's hands and showed a big smile.
