Chapter 568 568 Acting Ambition

The premiere of "A Different Sky" was small and simple, just like the premiere of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", and soon everyone entered the cinema together to officially watch the film.

Hugo had seen this movie long ago, and the impact was very profound, because he waited until 2013 before time travel, when he heard about Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny- Depp had a collaboration when he was young, so he found this movie and watched it carefully.

The story of "Different Sky" is actually not complicated. Simply put, it is about a young man who has just grown up and is at a loss when faced with future choices. On the one hand, he bears the burden of the whole family. Zhen went out to explore the world. The tension between family responsibilities and his dreams made the teenager face the biggest struggle in the process of growing up.

Johnny plays the hero Gilbert, and Leonardo plays one of Gilbert's family burdens: the youngest son of the family, Ani, a mentally retarded boy.

As a movie, "Different Sky" is a little dull and rough. It's not that the quality is not good, it's just that it didn't make a breakthrough. The story is less powerful in the carving of many details and psychological portrayal. In fact, the theme of the story is very Even if it is not a social problem, there is still a lot to be discovered if it is only locked in the word "growth", but the director Lesser was still a sigh of relief and failed to sculpt the whole story finely.

There are countless movies like this about growing up and family, and "Different Sky" can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

But the biggest highlight of this movie is the performance of the two protagonists. Johnny does not have the weirdness in "Edward Scissorhands", nor the coquettishness of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the future. In the original performance, Gilbert's role gave Johnny a very deep performance space, and he also worked hard to portray Gilbert's psychological struggles and changes, which was an eye-catching performance. In Hugo's view, purely in terms of acting skills, he is better than Captain Jack, and it also shows Johnny's skills.

However, Leonardo's performance was even more amazing. He performed Ani, a mentally handicapped teenager, to the bottom of his heart. Hugo's favorite was the scene where Ani found his obese mother lying on the bed and sleeping forever. Ni thought his mother was playing games with him and was having fun with it, but when he found out that his mother couldn't wake up, the panic and confusion easily touched the softest part of his heart.

I have to say that Leonardo is indeed an acting genius. At this time, he was only nineteen years old, and he showed his delicate and complicated acting skills. In the whole story, Johnny and Leonardo have many opposite scenes, but Leonardo's performance can almost be said to blow up Johnny, which also makes Johnny's excellent performance completely robbed by Leonardo. .

No wonder Leonardo was able to rely on this film to get an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, which is definitely well deserved.

When the whole movie ended, Hugo smiled and gave his applause, dedicated to Leonardo. When the reporters' absent-minded interview was over, Hugo stepped forward and gave Leonardo a big hug, and then Hugo directly ignored the eager eyes of the reporters, talking and laughing with Leonardo. walked towards the buffet venue.

"Wonderful performance, it's really wonderful." Hugo did not hesitate to praise his words and expressed his respect to Leonardo, which made Leonardo a little shy, sorry. He scratched his head, "Are you serious?"

"Leo, do I look like someone who uses polite words to fool you?" Hugo said with a smile, Leonardo couldn't help laughing and nodded slightly, he had to admit that Hugo was A sincere person, always has been. With a bright smile on Hugo's face, he leaned into Leonardo's ear and said in a low voice, "Don't tell other people, I think your performance is much better than Johnny's."

This made Leonardo burst into laughter immediately, and punched Hugo hard on the shoulder, "****!" Although he said so, the joy in his eyes revealed his true thoughts at the moment . This also made Hugo laugh out loud.

Hugo and Leonardo easily found Samora who was looking at the food beside the buffet table. Hugo looked at Samora, who seemed to be a forensic doctor studying the corpse, and asked curiously, "Are you going to eat it with your eyes? these foods?"

"No, I'm disappointed, I'm so disappointed." Samora shook his head sighing like a poet who cared about the country and the people, "They have no sincerity when they make food, it's just a waste of ingredients, you see Is that fresh salmon without egg wash..." Samora was like a professor in a university at this time, pointing out a paper, but her serious appearance did not seem to be joking, which made people very amused Can't laugh or cry.

Leonardo asked with a smile and frowned, "Where did this guy come from?"

"My assistant." Hugo replied with a smile, "You can look forward to his cooking skills." Although Leonardo and Samora had met before, it was during the last tour of the road to the death of glory. , but at that time Samora was not Hugo's assistant, Leonardo naturally did not have much impression.

"You should attend the premiere of 'Schindler's List', you know, the premiere also has a budget." Leonardo patted Samora on the shoulder and joked casually, and then saw Samora The sudden realization made him laugh again.

Leonardo and Hugo threw Samora beside the dining table and walked to the rest area next to each other, Leonardo said seriously, "Hugo, were you serious just now? I am Say, do you think there is still room for improvement in my performance?"

Hugo was quite surprised that Leonardo would discuss such a serious and professional topic with himself, but he still thought about it seriously, "Leo, you know, even Nicholson doesn't say that his performance is bad. It has reached its peak. The act of acting has always been accompanied by the passage of time. Different characters, different stories, and different opposite scenes will change. Today, you and Johnny are playing opposite roles, showing such a performance, then If you replace Johnny with... say me, or Hanks, I'm sure you'll have a different performance. So, I don't think there should be an answer to your question. But I do think that your performance this time It's really exciting, that's what I thought from the heart."

Leonardo savoured Hugo's words carefully, but did not speak, as if he had fallen into his own world. This Hugo couldn't help laughing, "Leo, are you sure you are only nineteen years old?" Actually Hugo was thinking of Leonardo ten years later. At that time, when Leonardo appeared on the big screen, his brows were always furrowed and he was bitter. Although his acting skills were indeed very good, he still made people unable to help. I miss Leonardo when he was young and handsome and handsome.

Leonardo saw Hugo's smile, and he was embarrassed to laugh twice, this slightly shy smile still leaked the information that he is only nineteen years old now, "You know, Toby is me Best friend, but when it comes to acting, it's always hard for me to resonate with him."

Toby Maguire, Hugo thought about it, in fact Toby is also a very powerful actor, he has dedicated such wonderful works as "Brothers" and "Seabiscuit", but It's a pity that in terms of acting, Toby's baby face and the limitations of acting talent still make it difficult for him to make further breakthroughs.

"Best friend?" Hugo raised his eyebrows, but Leonardo was stunned by this rhetorical question, and then he laughed, he looked at Hugo with a helpless smile, "Are you serious? of?"

Hugo pursed his lips, tucked a smile at the corner of his mouth, and shrugged his shoulders pitifully, which suddenly made Leonardo laugh again, covering his shyness with a hearty laugh. The smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth couldn't be restrained, and he sketched it out, but he said calmly, "Leo, are you interested in acting? I thought that at your current age, compared to acting, you are constantly accumulating experience. , or to win the cheers of girl fans is the most important thing."

"Yes, yes, I will not deny that the cheers of girls are always exciting." Leonardo repeatedly nodded to admit this statement, "However, this is not my original intention to become an actor. Acting, this is me The reason why I insisted on being an actor in the first place, I didn't want to be an actor who just entertained the audience, I wanted to be...be the kind of actor who can change the world through acting, to be Jack Nicholson, Robert - An actor like De Niro, you know, the kind of actor who can shock the audience with one look, one expression, one word, one performance."

Hugo looked at the young Leonardo in front of him. With that green and tender face, the young face with red lips and white teeth could even see traces of youth. It was hard to imagine that this young man who had not even reached the legal drinking age in front of him was actually have such big dreams.

In the past, Hugo always thought that Leonardo entered the 21st century after experiencing the glory and confusion of the "Titanic", and then gradually found his own direction. But after becoming friends and getting to know them deeply, Hugo realized that Leonardo wanted to be an extraordinary actor from the very beginning. At this moment, Hugo really understood why Leonardo was in the For nearly 20 years, I have been struggling to find the recognition of a statuette, because this is Leonardo's dream, and it is so similar to Hugo's experience of rolling in the underground rock circle.

"Hugo, you know, in fact, I envy you, I admire you, and I long to be an actor like you." Leonardo's words brought Hugo back to reality from his thoughts, which made Hugo Surprisingly, although Alex also expressed such thoughts at the beginning, Leonardo’s remarks brought more surprises to Hugo than Alex.

"why?"
