Steven Spielberg picked up the beer glass and drank a swig of beer-Green brought two more glasses of beer, and then left the space for two people, turned and left, "Sure enough, beer quenches his thirst."
Hugo put his hands on the beer coaster and turned slightly, "My bladder is undergoing a test at this time, so I should bear it." Hugo's words with a little humor made Steven's mouth emerge. There was a smile.
"Green mentioned you to me. He thinks you are a very outstanding actor. He thinks you have enough ability to handle any role." Steven put the beer glass in his palm, slowly Slowly turning, as if observing the whirlpool created by the rotation of beer, then 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 really need one. Actors who are well-known for "Laughter" are very "Laughter" actors, so I am here."
Facing Steven's straightforward statement, Hugo understood the ins and outs at once, but he is not so nervous now. Anyway, it's all auditions, and it makes no difference. He has seen the fussy Nora-Efron. , I have also seen the super big name Sidney a "Po" Luck, so it's good to keep your mindset as usual.
"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 was curious. Gaze. Hugo did not 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 for good friends, I don't think anyone will believe what he said. What's more, he really doesn't know much about the film industry." Hugo is telling the truth. Although he doesn't know what the relationship between Green and Steven is, this is a fact and there is no need to hide it. Green's compliments, for example, "have enough ability to be competent for any role..." This sounds like bragging.
Steven gradually reduced his smile, nodded slightly, and carefully looked at the young man in front of him. In fact, Hugo's current state is not considered "colorful". He took off the "stick" cap when he said hello. His messy hair looks more like a bird's nest because of the squeezing of the hat. The stubble and casual clothes that have not been cleaned up, it looks like an ordinary young man who came out to meet with friends, and did not participate in the audition as formal and grand.
However, Steven can read from Hugo's eyes the prudence and seriousness he expected. This kind of look from the amber "colored" eyes almost made Steven ignore everything else, even Hugo's. The handsome appearance, as if all the charms have been reduced to those eyes.
"I have seen your work." Steven said, apparently entering the audition stage directly, "but I am worried that you don't seem to be suitable for the role of my plan. You have a kind of character in your body. The temperament of the sun, and the character'color' you play seems to be the same, but the character'color' I want is not. You don't have the evil temperament I expected!"
Since Steven did not mention the name of the work, Hugo did not want to make a pre-judgment in advance, so he did not carefully figure out which role Steven was talking about. Instead, he showed a smile and calmed down. Said, "Challenge yourself is one of the actor's jobs, isn't it? Although I don't know if I can do all the roles, but I give up before trying it. This is not the attitude that a good actor should have. ."
Hugo teased himself with what Green said, which made Steven's mouth twitched slightly, "Most of your current roles are positive images. Are you willing to challenge some villains, or even Is it the evil character'color'?"
Hugo guessed that Steven should be referring to the three most well-known works of Hugo at present, "Death Poetry Club", "Smell the Fragrance to Know the "Female", and "Yihai Xiongfeng". Hugo plays the role in them. 'Lose' has many similarities, integrity, youth, justice, and sunshine. In fact, most of the roles that Hugo has played so far are positive, which is also a definition of Hollywood.
Take Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks as an example. What they represent is the incarnation of the image of justice in Hollywood, and the epitome of American heroism. Therefore, even if they are not heroes, their roles will be The key person who turned the tide would be a representative of the downfall of evil forces, or in short, a "hero"
This is also a kind of actor's image packaging. Some actors have played villains all their lives. For example, Jack Nicholson's villain'color' can often be very colorful; some actors are also good and evil, just like changing their colors. "Dragons generally constantly change in various roles and "colors". Daniel wears a Lewis (.day—) as such an actor; some actors are representatives of positive images throughout their lives, and Tom Hanks is one of them.
Most actors are in the third type, or hope to follow the third, eager to break the wave in Hollywood with abundance of righteousness. After all, everyone wants to be righteous in their hearts. I hope I am a good person, especially in a country like the United States where heroism is especially carried forward. The foreshadowing of a positive image can often give actors unexpected benefits.
Prior to this, Lang's career as an actor for Hugo was like this, mainly because Hugo's appearance advantage allowed him to obtain an innate advantage of **** in the position of the messenger of justice. So it's not surprising that Steven would ask this question.
"I don't know what your definition of "color" in an evil role is, but I can say with certainty that I am willing to try some new things. If I only play some positive roles in "color", I think I am an actor. It may become narrower and narrower." Hugo also pointed to his own face mockingly. The extent to which handsome guys are bound in Hollywood will always exist.
Steven nodded his chin slightly, "Then what is your definition of the evil character'color'?"
"I think there should be three kinds. Dialectically speaking, one kind is that good people are forced to become bad people, perhaps for the livelihood or for the family. In short, there is a compelling reason, but they still become evil." Yu Guo simply stated his opinion, "One kind is a downright bad guy. They may have no purpose in hurting others, but just to watch them suffer. This kind of evil makes people shudder."
Speaking of this, Hugo paused, "There is another kind of being in the middle. Maybe he is a good person, but occasionally he will make mistakes in some aspects; or that he is a bad person, but sometimes he has a warm heart. On the other side. This kind of role'color' should be the most complicated and the most common."
"Simply speaking, it is true." Steven groaned for a while, as if thinking about what Hugo said and what should happen next, then he said, "I was thinking Let's take a look at your performance first, but after hearing what you said, I must first say hello to you. First of all, the role I currently need is not the leading actor, but the supporting actor. Would you like to play it? "
"Why not? If it's a good script or a good character, I don't have a reason to refuse, do I? It's like I don't worry about affecting my image just because it's an evil character. This is a truth." Hugo said directly without even thinking about it.
If it is said that before the Golden Globes event, perhaps Hugo's burst of self-confidence will be a bit repellent, but after precipitation, Hugo knows that he is still a long way from a truly outstanding actor, and he needs to be different. Continue to polish himself on the role of'color'. In fact, in many cases, the supporting role is not inferior to the protagonist, and even conceals the protagonist's demeanor, such as the classic clown in the 2008 "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight (the. dark.k. .
Taking a step back, how can the protagonist be dazzling if there is no supporting role? So, never discriminate against supporting roles, or even ignore the role of small supporting roles and dragon sleeves. Hugo has a deep understanding of this.
Steven didn't say anything, but went on to say, "Secondly, due to the tight budget this time, the salary may be very tight."
Hugo also nodded his head for the first time to express his approval, "Payment has never been a problem." Although Steven still has not revealed any information about the work, if it is really "Schindler's list." It is not surprising, because Steven didn't take any money when shooting this work, because he thought that if he accepted it, it would be "blood money." Therefore, he rejected all remuneration from "Schindler's List".
"The last point is, if everything goes well, you need to add fat to 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. Answered, and then said, "But it's too early to say that, maybe we won't be there at all." Steven ruthlessly and directly hit Hugo's self-confidence, but he didn't care about it at all. , And chuckled at Hugo twice.
"To be honest~www.mtlnovel.com~ I think this is a movie that will definitely fail, but I'm still willing to put all the'essence' for it. If you are still willing to join this movie, I think we will It's time to start the next step." Steven's blunt words made Hugo laugh.
A director dared to predict that his work would definitely fail. This is too unusual. Hugo couldn't help but chuckle. "As you just said, I can be a part of this movie. I don't know, so I think we still have a chance to discuss it. If you think I'm suitable for this role, we can discuss this issue again."
Hugo didn't say "no problem." This made Steven pause, then nodded vigorously, "You've got the point. Well, well, I need you to give me a performance now, this The role of Lulu is a terrible devil, but his heart is not necessarily completely dark."
Hugo was still looking forward to Steven's following, but Steven raised his eyebrows, saying that this is all, Hugo was stunned, "So, is this all?"
"Yes, you can start."
Uh... where do you start?
