Chapter 1516 1516 Convince Leo

The phone only rang for a while before being picked up, "Hey, Hugo." Leonardo's brisk voice came through the microphone, which surprised Hugo. Originally, Hugo thought it would be Leonardo's assistant to answer the phone, because Leonardo and Charlize are still working on the "Romeo and Juliet" crew, and his mobile phone is mostly kept in the assistant's place. But now it seems clear that Leonardo should be in the rest phase.

"How do you know it's me?" There is still no caller ID on the phone, so every time Hugo sees a call, he is confused.

"You are the only one who is too lazy to memorize your phone number. Your number is printed in my mind." Leonardo said with a smile, "Why did you remember to call me today? Are you still hiking? Travel? Where have you been?"

"The Grand Canyon," Hugo replied without hesitation. "You won't believe it. I jumped from a cliff last night."

"Wow, you must be joking with me!" Leonardo jumped up and stood on the spot crying, "Hugo, you are joking, right? You? Hugo? Cliff diving? Wow, Jesus Christ!" Anyone familiar with Hugo knows that he was never a personality who liked to push the limits of his body. Leonardo beat his thigh hard, expressing his disbelief with all the movements of his body.

"Yes, you heard it right, I really jumped from a cliff last night." After Hugo finished speaking, he felt very happy. In fact, if he were to challenge again today, it is estimated that Hugo would tilt his head and feel hesitant, and it is very likely that he would end up giving up. But life is so magical, isn't it? People often do things they can't predict.

"Hey, Charlize, Charlize, do you believe it? Hugo jumped from a cliff last night!" After getting Hugo's definite answer, Leonardo didn't even continue talking with Hugo, but ran to the side excitedly , told his partner.

Charlize was also stunned, the first reaction was "What?" Charlize's surprised expression immediately entertained Leonardo, he immediately laughed happily, and confirmed the whole thing again, Charlize directly Biao said, "Hugo, you are crazy!" Leonardo and Hugo both laughed dumbly on both ends of the phone.

"So, have you found a breakthrough?" Charlize asked without a head on the phone, which made Leonardo stunned for a while.

The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was outlined, and he answered loudly, "Congratulate me."

Charlize immediately understood, and a storm surged deep in his heart, and he couldn't help shouting, "Damn, you lunatic!" But despite what he said, Charlize's eyes were full of smiles. The joy that came from her heart made her roar seem powerless at all.

Leonardo looked at Charlize playfully, laughed, then ran away before Charlize became angry, and continued on the phone, "Tell me the details, tell me the details."

Recalling the experience last night, Hugo also seemed excited, the melody of "Sail" reverberated in his mind again, and his blood boiled again. Hugo vividly described everything to Leonardo last night, "Trust me, man, you'll definitely want to try it once."

"Damn God, of course I want to try it once, next time we go on a road trip together, and then you take me, I'm definitely going to do it again! Try it again! Come with me!" Leonardo said in the original I jumped up and down on the ground in amazement, I couldn't wait.

"I can be the one who pushes you down from behind." Hugo shrugged and said slyly, making Leonardo speechless for a while. "I'm calling you today because I think there's a role that suits you well, and I want to ask your opinion."

"Have you written the script again?" Although Hugo's topic changed quickly, Leonardo didn't mind, standing there panting heavily, and responded directly.

"No, it's not my script." Leonardo looked disappointed after receiving Hugo's negative response, "If you write the script again, I'd be very willing to take on a role, and it would be even better if it was the male lead. ."

Hugo couldn't help laughing, "You can look forward to it slowly." Re-create a script? That's a good idea, after all, it's been nearly two years since the "Before Sunrise" script was written. "But you also know mine. The script I recommend to you will definitely not be too bad."

"Of course, I trust your vision and believe it." Leonardo said with a smile, "It's better to watch a 'Schindler's List' or 'Death Row'." Leonardo joked The other staff around couldn't help but smile. Although they didn't know the cause and effect, they were also infected by Leonardo's high emotions.

"No, this isn't 'Death Ramble' or 'Schindler's List', it should be... er... 'Independence Day'." Hugo knew that was not an accurate description, but it was the most close reference.

"You mean, 'Future Water World'?" Leonardo frowned and retorted without hesitation, leaving Hugo speechless, "Hugo, what I said is the truth, 'Independence Day' lacks you If it is 'Future Water World', I don't think I am qualified to create miracles."

In fact, this is also the general view of Hollywood at present. Everyone thinks that "Independence Day" is likely to become the second "Water World of the Future", and it is very likely to fail again. The only variable is Hugo, the myth of Hugo's invincibility Can continue, this year's summer vacation will be fully announced. This is not for Hugo, but for the attitude of big investment and big production, and the whole Hollywood is very cautious.

Leonardo has always been rolling in low-cost independent productions. He unswervingly sharpened his acting skills. When he cameo in "Speed ​​of Life and Death", he chose to perform because of Hugo. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Leonardo to support mainstream Hollywood thinking.

"Leo, we've already talked about commercial movies, haven't we?" Hugo had long anticipated Leonardo's reaction and said patiently, he didn't hear Leonardo's rebuttal, so he continued. Go on, "I know your attitude towards commercial films, and I know your attitude towards acting. Do you know why I chose 'Death Ramble' instead of 'Away from Casino'?"

"Because the performance level is richer?" When it comes to performance, Leonardo seems to be much more active.

"Yes, because the role of Matthew is more complex and delicate, I hope to continue to challenge myself through such performances." Hugo's voice made Leonardo laugh again, and replied "You succeeded", which made Leonardo laugh again. Hugo shrugged, "I know you do too, and you want to keep challenging yourself. This time I recommend this work to you, in fact, for many people, acting doesn't seem to be difficult, you know, the role of a commercial film , how much depth can it have?"

Hugo's words made Leonardo laugh, and he seemed to agree, "But I think this performance is actually very delicate and worth exploring, not that he has a lot of inner drama, but his The whole personality formation, the image change, can be presented through the actor's performance. We have discussed this before, haven't we? About the crutches of performance."

Hugo's words quieted Leonardo, "Give you a crutch, you can play well, like Dementia in 'A Different Sky', of course, many actors win by playing roles with such crutches The Oscar statuette, why? Because such a character can be explosive and bright. It's the same with 'Schindler's List' and 'Death Ramble', I can find crutches and can concentrate all my energy. But if you Your acting skills are not hot enough. Even if you are given crutches, your performance still can't meet the requirements. Do you remember 'Before Sunrise'? Charlize and I were actually very difficult to perform in it, because those two roles Without crutches, that performance experience was very important for both of us."

"So, you're saying, I should challenge some characters without crutches?" Leonardo asked rhetorically.

"No, I mean, you should try more characters with different challenges," says Hugo. Although it is said that "Titanic" did not bring Leonardo an Oscar nomination, in fact, Hugo has always believed that this movie also played a role in Leonardo's acting skills, but it is a pity that accompanied by Leonardo was bewildered by the spotlights and noise coming from the movie.

Leonardo fell silent, and after a while, "Hugo, so, you mean, is this role you want me to follow? 'Before Sunrise'?"

"Yes." Hugo answered simply and neatly.

"Then I believe you." Leonardo's answer was also extremely simple, but it made Hugo choked.

Hugo remembered Leonardo's situation after the "Titanic", and he was almost overwhelmed by being in the whirlpool of the spotlight, and since then he has also embarked on an irreversible road of the development of a beautiful boy to a fat uncle. This made Hugo frown, "Leo, you know what comes with being in a commercial movie, cheers, screams, flashes, and excessive attention, and even makes you lose yourself, you have enough Are you mentally prepared?"

"Of course not." Leonardo's answer made Hugo immediately stunned, "Hugo, do you remember, you told me yourself, before you experience it yourself, all the imaginations in your mind are not necessarily true. Yeah. So, I don't know what that's going to be like, but I know, you've been through it, and you'll be by my side, right?"

Hugo couldn't help laughing, and nodded his chin slightly, "If you need anything, feel free to find me."

"Huh, this is really a relief, so I trust you. Of course, I still have to read the script." Leonardo imitated Hugo's tone, and finally added another sentence, which made Hugo laugh.
