Chapter 1790 1790 The heroine proposal
"Russell Crow?" Curtis and Kevin both fell into deep thought. Screenwriter Brian interjected, "We are discussing here, but who knows whether he is interested in our script, or whether the schedule is not up to par, why not call his agent?"
One sentence made everyone react, they did not invite Russell tonight.
Kevin chuckled, "To be honest, I really haven't considered this possibility. I can't think of someone in Hollywood now that can reject Hugo." As he said, Kevin also raised the champagne in his hand and raised his hand slightly to the noise downstairs. There seemed to be a lot of noise and screams downstairs, as if he was proving Kevin's words with facts.
Hugo shrugged calmly and said to Brian seriously, "You heard what Kevin said, and I will call Russell tomorrow and say I have a crush on him."
Everyone burst into laughter in an instant. After laughing, Curtis returned to his serious expression, "If it was Russell, then he should be competent. I think he could arrange an audition." After receiving the affirmative reply from Hugo nodded, Curtis added, "Do you want to go to the audition together?"
Hugo thought for a while, "No, I believe your judgment."
Brian, who was silent for a while, suddenly had an inspiration flashed and said, "Ahhh, I thought of who would reject Hugo! Jennifer Jason Lee (jennifer.jason.leigh)! Curtis received a call from her agent this morning."
Curtis didn't say anything, Kevin didn't say anything. Arnon Milkan (Arnon.com) was the deputy general manager of Warner Bros. Film Production Department, making Julia Roberts' "Fengyue Beauty" famous as a producer. He looked up at Brian, and then continued to lower his head to keep silent...
A silence.
Lynn, the heroine of "Los Angeles City Secret", is a senior call girl and the only female character among the main characters in the whole movie. This bright color not only makes the whole movie full of warmth and fragility, but also is a key role in connecting the core ideas of human struggle, inner softness, and love weakness in the movie.
Many people focus on the beauty of the character Lynn when watching the movie, but ignore the importance of the character itself. In fact, this character also has requirements for the actor's acting skills. The performance of a mixture of weakness and strength, kindness and evil, cunning and innocence is crucial.
In the version Hugo once watched, Kim Basinger played the role of Lynn and relied on this role to the peak of her career. It is undeniable that Kim has a certain acting foundation, which is not amazing, but is just average but also above the level. However, she still relies on the overall quality of the movie and won the Best Supporting Actress Little Golden Man at the Oscars. In fact, during the movie, the audience was more attracted by Kim's peerless beauty, and the ultimate temperament of her sex and temperament was fully displayed. Her slightly raised lips, blurred eyes, soft blonde hair, and sexual. She can definitely be called a stunning figure that is charming and inverted, but it makes people miss the meaning and weight of the character itself.
Hugo has carefully studied the script of "Los Angeles City Secret". Lynn's seemingly inconspicuous chess piece has irreplaceable works for the entire chess game. She not only erupts the contradictions, but also is the carrier for presenting the last trace of purity and sincerity in the movie. This is also one of the greatest ironies of the entire real society: the filthy, brutal and depraved City of Angels, the real purity fell on a call girl, but at the same time, this is also the cruelest and most realistic reality in Los Angeles in the 1950s.
Therefore, an excellent actor can definitely make "Los Angeles Secret" more outstanding in quality, and once again, and even join the ranks of classics.
Hugo suggested that this role be played by Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz or Nicole Kidman, but Barry thought that Jennifer Jason Lee would be more suitable. In fact, Barry may not really want to insist on using Jennifer, but is just working hard to further spread its influence tonight.
But the result was quite ironic. Jennifer rejected Curtis' invitation on the grounds that he had "played too many prostitutes and female characters."
Brian seemed not to understand what went wrong with his words, and why everyone was silent. He looked around with a smile on his face, trying to find a smile on everyone's face, but unfortunately he failed. In the end, Hugo saved Brian, "When it comes to the heroine, I just talked with Nicole for a while, and she and Tom are likely to work with Stanley Kubrick..." After saying that, Hugo didn't need more explanation, just spread his hands, and everyone suddenly realized.
Stanley Kubrick, the maverick master in film history, is afraid that almost no actor in Hollywood today will refuse his call. What's more, this time Nicole and Tom are still working together with each other.
"That's really enviable." Kevin said with a smile, and the awkward atmosphere was instantly relieved. Although Brian didn't understand why, he felt the atmosphere, so he obediently closed his mouth.
Curtis put the cup in his hand on the table, straightened his seat slightly, and leaned forward slightly, "Kim Basinger, what do you think?"
Hugo raised his brow slightly invisibly. He noticed Curtis's active signal. This was the first time tonight. "Kim Basinger..." Hugo supported his chin and dragged his tail tone. After looking at him, Curtis touched his sideburns with a little uneasy. In the darkness, his movements were not obvious, but they were enough for Hugo to make a judgment. "Where did your idea come out? I have to say... this is a wonderful idea."
There are many reasons why the original version is talked about. Although Kim's performance may not be the best, her beauty, beauty and sexy are indeed an irreplaceable and beautiful scenery. Hugo will not deny this.
Hearing this, Curtis's tight shoulders loosened a little and straightened his spine, "Right, I think so too. I watched several works she performed and felt that her temperament was very suitable for the role of Lynn, and her performance was also very good."
Kevin seemed to have noticed the subtle changes in Curtis's words, and supported his chin with his fingertips, teasing, "This is at least more suitable than Cameron Diaz." Kevin looked at Hugo when he spoke, and then he saw Hugo lower his head and smiled.
Objectively speaking, Kim is indeed more suitable for the role of Lynn than Cameron. Hugo is trying to audition for Cameron, on the one hand, he feels that he can give Cameron a chance to try to challenge herself; on the other hand, it is because Cameron always complains that she does not have the opportunity to perform with Hugo, and has not found a truly suitable opportunity to challenge her acting skills.
Hugo spread his hands, "At least Cameron deserves an audition."
"I can't refute this sentence." Kevin said with a smile.
The smile on Curtis' face, sitting next to him, was obviously much relaxed, and he actively joined the conversation, "This is the only major female character in the whole movie, so maybe we can choose more, and I have begun to think that this audition has become exciting."
Kevin looked at Curtis meaningfully, and then added, "And... Charlize Theron." He realized that he and Hugo both said the name "Charlize" at the same time, and couldn't help but look back at Hugo, "I personally think Charlize is definitely a perfect choice. I don't think you would object to this?"
Hugo laughed, and Kevin continued to explain, "Actually, when I was reading the script, the figure of Charlize kept popping up in my mind. Her performance in "Romeo and Juliet" was very exciting. However, I'm not very sure whether she would accept the script."
In "Los Angeles Secret", the character Lynn needs to make the most of her appearance advantages, and her clothes are more sexual. This is inconsistent with Charlize's public image. Her image in "Before Sunrise" and "Romeo and Juliet" is fresh, literary, elegant, and classical, but it is far from the sexual.
Hugo did not answer positively, but just shrugged with a smile, "At least you can try it." In fact, Charlize is also the most suitable candidate in Hugo's heart. Charlize's appearance advantage is not inferior even when facing King, and her performance skills gradually polished are even more commendable. If Charlize can tap into the sense of fragility behind the strength during the performance, it will add a lot of color to the whole movie.
Curtis thought about it carefully and seemed to have to agree. In the past two years, after Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan, American sweethearts were out of place, and Cameron took the lead; after Emma Thompson and Susan Sarandon, the younger generation of powerful actresses also seemed to be unable to keep up, and Charlize was undoubtedly the best among them.
Compared to King, Charlize has many advantages.
Thinking of this, Curtis couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The calmness just now was beginning to boil. "I saw Jin just now, and she also received an invitation. Why don't we go downstairs to have a simple audition now? After all, this is our real purpose tonight, isn't it?"
There was no way to refute Curtis's words. If Russell was also on the scene now, they would definitely talk to him. Hugo did not expose Curtis's calculations, but just said with a smile, "Otherwise, let's invite several ladies to come up, let's talk briefly here to see what the results will happen."
