Server SkyVids Link 313 Version 313
Steven Spielberg picked up the beer glass and took a big sip of beer. Green just brought two more beers over, then left the space for the two people, turned around and left, "It's true that the beer is still quenching thirst."
Hugo put his hands on the beer coaster and turned slightly, "My bladder is under the test at this time, so I'd better bear it." Hugo's words with a little humor made a smile appear on the corner of Steven's mouth.
"Green mentioned you to me, he thought you were a very good actor, he felt that you were capable of any role." Steven put the beer glass in his palm and slowly turned it, as if observing the vortex of the beer spinning. 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 an excellent actor, a very good actor, so I appeared here."
Facing Steven's straightforward statement, Hugo immediately understood the whole story, but he was not so nervous now. Anyway, it was all auditions, so there was no difference. He had seen the picky Nora Everon and the super big Sidney Pollack, so just put your mind on the ordinary.
"Haha, I think, this can only tell one thing." Hugo chuckled, raised his eyes and looked at Steven honestly. This sentence aroused Steven's interest, and he cast a curious look. Hugo didn't pause for too long, and then said, "It means that Green is really my good friend."
"Haha." Steven laughed directly.
Hugo raised his eyebrows, "I don't think anyone will believe what he said except for good friends, not to mention that he really doesn't know much about the film industry." Hugo is to be honest. Although he doesn't know what Green and Steven's relationship is, this is the fact and there is no need to hide it. What Green said about praise, such as "being capable of doing any role", sounds like bragging.
Steven gradually restrained his smile, nodded slightly, and looked at the young man in front of him seriously. In fact, Hugo's current condition is not outstanding. He took off his baseball cap when he said hello just now. His messy hair looked more like a bird's nest because of the squeeze of the hat. He had no stubble and casual clothes. He looked like an ordinary young man who came out to meet his friends. He did not have the formality and grandeur that he should have participated in the audition.
However, Steven could read from Hugo's eyes the cautiousness and seriousness he expected. This kind of elated emanating from the amber eyes almost made Steven ignore everything else, including Hugo's handsome appearance, as if all the charm was embodied in those eyes.
"I've seen your work." Steven said, obviously entering the audition session. "But I'm very worried that you don't seem to be suitable for the role I planned. You have a sunny temperament, and the role you play seems to be the same, but the role I want is not like this. You don't have the evil temperament I expect!"
Since Steven did not mention the name of the work, Hugo did not want to make a pre-judgment in advance. He did not carefully understand which role Steven was talking about, but instead smiled and said calmly, "Challenge yourself as one of the jobs of an actor, right? Although I don't know if I can do all the roles, I give up before trying. This is not the attitude that an excellent actor should have."
Hugo teased herself with what Green said, which made Steven's mouth slightly tuggle up, "Most of the characters you are currently playing are positive images. Are you willing to challenge some villains or even evil characters?"
Hugo speculated that Steven should refer to the three most well-known works of Hugo, such as "Death Poetry Club", "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", and "Yihai Xiongfeng". The characters played by Hugo all have many similarities, such as integrity, youth, justice, and sunshine. In fact, most of the characters played by Hugo so far are also positive, which is also a definition of Hollywood.
Take Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks as an example. They represent the embodiment of Hollywood's justice image and the microcosm of American heroism. Therefore, even if the characters they play are not heroes, they will be key figures in turning the tide, or they will be representatives of overthrowing evil forces, in short, they are "heroes".
This is also a kind of image packaging for actors. Some actors have been playing villains all their lives. For example, Jack Nicholson's villains are often extremely brilliant; some actors are both good and evil, and are constantly changing in various roles like chameleons. Daniel Day-lewis is such an actor; some actors are representatives of positive images throughout their lives, and Tom Hanks is representatives.
Most actors are the third type, or they hope to follow the third type, and they are eager to break through the waves and break through the waves and break through the waves in Hollywood with righteousness. After all, everyone hopes that they are just and that they are good people, especially in a country like the United States where heroism is being carried forward, the preparation of positive images can often allow actors to gain unexpected benefits.
Before this, this was the actor career that Lang portrayed for Hugo, mainly because Hugo's appearance advantage allowed him to gain a congenital advantage in the position of the Messenger of Justice. So it is not surprising that Steven asked this question.
"I don't know what your definition of evil characters is, but I can say with certainty that I'm willing to try something new. If I just play some positive roles, I think my path to actors may become narrower and narrower." Hugo also pointed to his face with self-deprecatingly. The degree to which handsome guys are bound in Hollywood will always exist.
Steven twitched his chin slightly, "What is your definition of an evil character?"
"I think there should be three types. In terms of dialectics, one is that good people are forced to become bad people, maybe for their livelihood or for their family. In short, there is a convincing reason, but they still become sins." Hugo simply expressed his opinion, "There are complete bad people, who may have no purpose in hurting others, but just to see others suffering. This evil makes people shudder."
Speaking of this, Hugo paused, "There is another kind of thing that is to be in the middle. Maybe he is a good person, but occasionally he will make mistakes in some aspects; or he is a bad person, but he may have a warm side in his heart. This kind of role should be the most complicated and common."
"Simply put, it is indeed the case." Steven pondered for a moment, as if thinking about Hugo's words, and then he seemed to be thinking about what to do next. Then he said, "I originally wanted to see your performance first, but after hearing what you said, I must say hello to you first. First of all, the role I need is not the male lead, but the male supporting actor. Are you willing to play it?"
"Why not? If it's a good script or a good character, I have no reason to refuse, right? It's like I won't worry about affecting my image because it's an evil character. This is a truth." Hugo said without thinking.
If Hugo's self-confidence might be a little repulsive before the Golden Globes incident, but after precipitation, Hugo knew that he was still a long way from a truly excellent actor, and he needed to continue to polish himself in different roles. In fact, many times, the supporting roles are no less than the protagonist, and they may even cover up the protagonist's style. For example, the classic clown in "Batman Prequel: The.dark.knight" in 2008 is like this.
If you take a step back, how can the protagonist be dazzling without the supporting role? Therefore, never discriminate against supporting roles, or even ignore the role of small supporting roles and supporting roles. Hugo has a deep understanding of this.
Instead of making any statement, Steven continued, “Secondly, because the budget is very tight this time, the pay may be very tight.”
Hugo nodded immediately and expressed his approval, "The pay is never a problem." Although Steven has not disclosed any information about the work at present, it would not be surprising if it was really "Schindler's list", because Steven did not receive a penny when filming this work, because he thought that if he accepted it, it would be "blood money". Therefore, he rejected all the rewards for "Schindler's list".
"The last point is that if everything goes well, you need to gain weight for this movie. You know, a good figure like you is not the requirement in the movie." But this time, Steven did not wait for Hugo's answer, and then said, "But it's too early to say this now. Maybe we can't get that step at all." Steven ruthlessly and directly hit Hugo's self-confidence, but he didn't care at all, and even chuckled at Hugo twice.
"To be honest, I think this is a movie that will definitely fail, but I'm willing to put all my energy into it. If you're still willing to join the movie, I think we can start the next step." Steven's straightforward words made Hugo laugh.
A director predicted that his work would definitely fail, which was really unusual, and Hugo couldn't help but chuckled, "As you said just now, 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 said "no problem" without a big bag, which made Steven pause, then nodded vigorously, "You've got to the point. So, very good, I need you to give me a show now. This character is a terrible devil, but he doesn't necessarily have complete darkness in his heart."
Hugo was still looking forward to Steven's following, but Steven raised his eyebrows like this and said that this is all. Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, "So, this is all?"
"Yes, you can start."
Uh...where should I start?
