Server SkyVids Link 313 Version 313
Steven Spielberg took a big sip of beer from his beer mug - Green brought two more beers just now, then left space for two people, turned and left, "It's still beer to quench his thirst."
Hugo put his hands on the beer coaster and turned slightly, "My bladder is being tested at this time, so I'll just bear with it." Hugo's humorous words made the corners of Steven's mouth emerge. A smile appeared.
"Green and I mentioned you. He thinks you are a very good actor, and he thinks you are capable enough to play any role." Steven put the beer mug in his hand and turned it slowly, as if After observing the whirlpool produced by the rotation of the beer, he raised his eyes slightly and looked at the young man in front of him, "He insisted that I should meet you, but in fact... I do need a good actor, very A very good actor, so I'm here."
Facing such a straightforward statement from Steven, Hugo immediately understood the ins and outs, but he was less nervous now. It was an audition anyway, and there was no difference. He had met the picky Nora Ephron. , I have also seen the super big-name Sidney Pollack, so it's good to have a normal mentality.
"Hehe, I think this can only explain one thing." Hugo chuckled, raised his eyes and looked at Steven frankly. This sentence aroused Steven's interest, and he cast curiosity. eyes. Hugo didn't pause for too long, and then said, "It shows that Green is really my good friend."
"Haha." Steven laughed directly.
Hugo raised his eyebrows, "Except my good friend, I don't think anyone would believe what he said, let alone, he really doesn't know much about the film industry." Hugo is telling the truth, Although he didn't know what the relationship between Green and Steven was, it was the truth and there was no need to hide it. Green's compliments, such as being "capable enough to play any role," sound like bragging.
Steven gradually restrained his smile, nodded slightly, and took a serious look at the young man in front of him. In fact, Hugo's current state is not very good. He took off his baseball cap when he greeted him just now. His messy hair looked more like a bird's nest because of the squeezing of the hat. He didn't clean up his beard and casual clothes. , looks like an ordinary young man who came out to meet friends, and did not participate in the formal and grand audition that should be.
However, Steven could read the prudence and seriousness he expected from Hugo's eyes. This kind of look from the amber eyes almost made Steven ignore everything else, even Hugo's handsome Appearance, as if all the charms were epitomized in those eyes.
"I've seen your work," Steven said, obviously going straight to the audition, "but I'm worried, you don't seem to be a good fit for the role I'm planning. You have a sunny temperament about you. , and the characters you play seem to be like that, but not the ones I want. You don't have the wickedness I expected in you!"
Since Steven didn't mention the name of the work, Hugo didn't want to make a pre-judgment in advance, so he didn't try to figure out which character Steven was talking about, but smiled and said calmly, "Challenge. It's one of the roles of an actor, isn't it? Although I don't know if I can play all the roles, it's not the attitude that a good actor should have to give up before trying."
Hugo took what Green said to make fun of himself, which made Steven's mouth twitch up slightly, "Most of the characters you are currently playing are positive images, are you willing to challenge some villains, even evil ones? What about the character?"
Hugo guessed that Steven should be referring to the three most well-known works of Hugo at present, "Dead Poets Society", "Scent of a Woman" and "Wind of Righteousness", in which Hugo has played many roles Similarities, integrity, youth, justice, sunshine. In fact, most of Hugo's roles so far have been positive, which is a definition of Hollywood.
Take Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks as an example. What they represent is the incarnation of the righteous image of Hollywood and the epitome of American heroism. Therefore, even if they are not heroes, they will be the key to turning the tide. Characters, or representatives of overthrowing evil forces, in short, "heroes".
This is also a type of actor image packaging. Some actors have played villains all their lives. For example, Jack Nicholson's villains are often brilliant; some actors are both good and evil, like chameleons. Daniel Day-Lewis (Daniel. Day-Lewis) is such an actor; some actors are representatives of positive images all their lives, and Tom Hanks is one of them.
Most of the actors are the third type, or they hope to follow the third type, and they are eager to make a way through the waves in Hollywood. After all, everyone hopes that they are righteous and good people in their hearts, especially In a country such as the United States where heroism is particularly carried forward, the foreshadowing of a positive image can often allow actors to obtain unexpected benefits.
Before that, Lang's actor career for Hugo was like this, mainly because Hugo's appearance advantage allowed him to gain an innate advantage in the position of the messenger of justice. So it is not surprising that Steven would ask this question.
"I don't know what your definition of an evil character is, but I can say with certainty that I'd love to try something new, and if it's just a few positive roles, I think my actor path may be getting narrower. "Hugo also pointed to his own face mockingly, the extent of the handsome guy in Hollywood will always exist.
Steven nodded slightly, "Then what's your definition of an evil character?"
"I think there should be three kinds. In dialectical terms, one is that good people are forced to become bad people, maybe for a living or maybe for a family. In short, there is a convincing reason, but they still become evil." Guo simply stated his opinion, "One is a downright bad person. They may have no purpose in hurting others, just to watch others suffer. This kind of evil makes people shudder."
Having said this, Hugo paused, "There is another kind of being in the middle, maybe he is a good person, but occasionally makes mistakes in some aspects; or maybe he is a bad person, but sometimes he has a warm heart This kind of role should be the most complicated and the most common.”
"Simply put, it's true." Steven pondered for a while, as if thinking about Hugo's words, and seemed to be thinking about what to do next, and then he said, "I wanted to take a look first. Your performance, but after listening to your words, I must say hello to you first, first of all, the role I currently need is not a leading actor, but a supporting actor, would you like to play it?"
"Why not? If it's a good script, or a good character, there's no reason for me to say no, is there? It's like I wouldn't worry about affecting my image because it's an evil character, which makes sense." Hugo didn't even think about it, he just said it.
If it is said that before the Golden Globe Awards, perhaps Hugo's exuberant self-confidence will be a little repulsive, but after precipitation, Hugo knows that he is still a long way from a truly excellent actor, and he needs to be different. Continue to polish yourself in the role. In fact, many times, the supporting role is not inferior to the protagonist, and even hides the protagonist's demeanor, such as the classic Joker in 2008's "Batman: The Dark Knight".
Going back 10,000 steps, how can the protagonist be so dazzling without the supporting roles? Therefore, never discriminate against supporting roles, or even ignore the role of minor supporting roles and dragon tricks. Hugo has a deep understanding of this.
Steven didn't say anything, but went on to say, "Secondly, because the budget is very tight this time, the salary may be very tight."
Hugo also nodded his approval immediately, "The pay is never a problem." Although Steven has not disclosed any information about the work, if it is really "Schindler's List", then It's not surprising, because Steven didn't take a penny when he made the work, because he thought if he accepted it, it would be "blood money". So, he turned down all payments for "Schindler's List".
"The last point is, if everything goes well, you need to gain weight for this movie, you know, a good figure like you is not a requirement in the movie." But this time Steven did not wait for Hugo's answer, Then he said, "But it's too early to say this, maybe we can't get there at all." Steven ruthlessly and directly attacked Hugo's self-confidence, but he didn't take it seriously, and said Hehe chuckled at Hugo twice.
"To be honest, I think it's a movie that's sure to fail, but I'm willing to give it all my energy. If you're still willing to join the film, I think we can start the next step." Wen's straightforward words made Hugo chuckle.
A director made a big prediction that his work would definitely fail, which is really unusual, Hugo couldn't help chuckling, "As you said just now, I can be a part of this film, and I can I don't know, so I think we still have a chance to discuss it. If you think I'm a good fit for the role, we can talk about it again."
Hugo didn't say "No problem," which gave Steven a pause, then nodded vigorously, "You got to the point. Well, fine, I need you to give me a show now, The character is a terrifying devil, but he's not necessarily completely dark inside."
Hugo was still looking forward to Steven's following, but Steven raised his eyebrows like this, saying that this is all, Hugo couldn't help but stunned, "So, this is all?"
"Yes, you can start."
Um...where does this start?
