"It's not easy to find someone who likes this kind of pure gangster movie now." Quentin looked at the smile on Hugo's face and couldn't help but sigh, leaning against the back of the deck, with a lonely expression on his face.

Hugo laughed, "Maybe there will be trendy ups and downs in genre films, but truly outstanding works will never lack audiences."

In Hollywood, genre films will have a golden period. For example, the action movies that swept the world in the 1980s made Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone famous. However, after the 1990s, although action movies still had a market, they gradually shrank, and after the 21st century, they were almost submerged in visual effects commercial blockbusters. The power of human beings is difficult to compare with the effects of computer technology.

The same is true for gangster movies. In fact, movies involving gangster elements such as violence, blood, and killing have always existed. However, pure gangster movies have passed their own golden age.

Starting in the 1970s, the "Godfather" series, "Good guys", "American past", "Scarface", "Ganglonghu Fight (Ler's.cross private ng), "Modern Godfather (P-Japanzzi's.honor), and "Untouchables" created the peak period of pure gangster movies, but after entering the 1990s, such films focusing on life in the underworld gradually lost the market and gradually declined.

After entering the 21st century, it almost disappeared from people's sight. Even the "Gangs.of.new.york" filmed by Martin Scorses again, and the "Gangster of America" ​​directed by the great director Ridley Scott (Dley.scott) failed to reproduce the glory of the gangster movie.

Pure gangster movies are gradually declining, and are replaced by police and gangster movies with more extensive audiences and materials, and the film elements are also enriched. Perhaps there are still many movies surrounding gangsters, but they are no longer pure, and it is even more difficult to reproduce the classics of film history such as "Godfather", "American Past", and "Good Guy".

As a loyal fan of gangster movies and Western movies, Quentin can be said to have witnessed the decline of this type of movie. The works he created after the 21st century, such as "Kill Bill" and "Inglorious Bastard" have gradually deviated from the scope of gangster movies, integrating elements such as violence and blood into a wider territory, thus developing his own style.

However, in Quentin's directorial career, "pulp novels" can be defined as a gangster movie. Although it is not pure, it is a tribute to gangster movies and also creates a peak in his directorial work. This peak is still difficult to surpass even twenty years later. This is true even if there are excellent works such as "Kill Bill", "Inglorious Bastard", and "Django who was solved".

"As a fan, don't you want to appear in a wonderful gangster movie?" Quentin raised his head and looked at Hugo curiously. "I mean, play a role as wonderful as Robert De Niro, and use his own abilities to leave a grand mark in the history of the film."

"Then I was fixed in the gang circle and could never break free?" Hugo's words made Quentin stunned, and then both of them couldn't help laughing.

Robert De Niro is a great actor in the history of film, and there is no doubt that he has appeared in too many gangster movies, and most of the classic characters are fixed in this range. This can be said to be a huge regret. After 2010, he still played multiple gangster bosses, which made the film critics very regretful. He believed that Robert was self-confined when he entered the later stage of his actor career and never made a breakthrough. At this point, Jack Nicholson was obviously much better.

After teasing, Hugo then returned to Quentin's topic just now, "As an actor, I certainly hope to make a breakthrough, such as a role as Brando in the "Godfather", or a minion in the "Past of America", or a hero who has experienced ups and downs in the "Good Guy". Whether it is an actor or a movie fan, this is very rare."

Quentin nodded repeatedly to Hugo's words and expressed his approval. The smile on his face and the forceful movements were as if he wanted to break his neck. "But your appearance is very limited. I guess you are more suitable for the role of "Godfather" Ripacino or Kysel."

Hugo smiled, "Not everyone can be Kysel's."

John Cazale plays the role of his second son Fredo in "The Godfather" and his cowardly and incompetent role. In John's career as an actor, he only played five roles, but they are all regarded as classics. In addition to the "Godfather" series, his works also include three Oscar-level works: "Dialogue (the.co female ersation), "dog.day.afternoon" and "the.deer.mixed ter". Unfortunately, this performance genius passed away in 1978 due to bone cancer and was unable to continue his brilliant actor career.

In fact, among the many roles of "Godfather", many professional acting teachers believe that the challenge difficulty of Fredo played by John Kysel is no less than that of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. John contributed a surprising performance within a limited space, but because of the space limitations, he did not receive enough attention.

John is also known as the top three characters on the most overlooked acting genius rankings.

Quentin heard Hugo's words, but he didn't quite understand. After all, he looked at the problem from the perspective of the director. It was difficult to understand Hugo's perspective as an actor, but Hugo did not pause at all. Then he said, "The limitations of appearance are actually excuses. A truly excellent actor will never be bound by appearance. Even if there are huge obstacles in appearance, with the help of makeup, the actor can present enough performances to achieve the director's goal and convince the audience. Otherwise, the actor's "performance" action is meaningless?"

After experiencing the "Schindler's List", Hugo's feelings became even more profound. Simply put, it is not a person's appearance. His appearance is just a first impression, but it cannot represent his true personality in his heart. In the past, Hugo felt that many characters needed to be carefully selected. He was not suitable for all characters, but now it seems that unless the character has no room for performance, such as an action movie, it requires constant fighting and no space for the inner delicate performance, any character actor can find a foothold and then complete his performance.

For example, if Hugo is allowed to play the role of "Rain Man" Ridustin Hoffman, perhaps his sunny and handsome appearance cannot be contrasted with the role of Tom Cruise, and cannot achieve the effect the director wants, but it does not mean that Hugo cannot perform the effect of autism; for example, if Hugo is allowed to play the role of Jack Nicholson in "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum", although Hugo does not look rebellious and unruly and has the courage to challenge authority, it does not mean that Hugo cannot achieve such an effect with his acting skills.

The effect the director and producer hope to present is one thing, the advantages brought by the actor's appearance are one thing, and the thickness and authenticity that the actor's own acting skills can show is another thing. Therefore, what the actor needs to consider is not whether he is suitable, but whether he is competent.

With Hugo's current level, he is naturally not enough to play "Rain Man" and "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum". He will definitely not be able to surpass the original character's profound skills. Hugo still needs to work hard and constantly hone and accumulate, but at least Hugo has opened the door now. The role of "Schindler's List" Riamun Gos has successfully allowed Hugo to see the magical world of acting skills.

Quentin is not an actor, but as a director, he naturally knows the importance of acting. He looked at Hugo who inadvertently revealed his confidence and couldn't help laughing, "You're right. If you were asked to play a gangster, do you have any ideas?"

"At least I should give me a script. The minions also have serious, funny, and followers. This category is too big." Hugo said with a smile, "But I think I'm creating a serious minion, but there are always accidental mistakes in the process of action. But he didn't realize that he still completed his tasks seriously. The black humor created by this contrast should be very interesting."

Quentin listened to Hugo's casual teasing, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, "Hey, Hugo, I have a script in my hand now, which contains a character of a gangster minion. How about it, are you interested in acting?"

Quentin has a script in his hand now? The first thing that emerged in Hugo's mind was naturally "pulp novels". This movie was released in 1994, and the timing was very consistent. But Hugo didn't have time to think about it. He quickly replied, "Our band just signed a contract and is about to record the album next. I don't think I have time."

After experiencing the classic baptism of "Schindler's List" and "Shawshank's Redemption", although Hugo knew that "pulp novels" are also important classics that cannot be missed in the history of films, and has an indelible impact on the future development of film styles. Moreover, Hugo personally likes this movie very much, but he still did not worry too much. He immediately thought of the band's current state, so he directly expressed his own views.

Quentin showed a regretful expression, "I just thought that if you played the role inside, the contrast would sound good. However, I don't know, I originally hoped that an actor with a more personal appearance would not be played by a handsome actor like you. Now you also seem to be very suitable for the role."

"Cooperation always takes time, right? Schedule problem has always been a difficult problem to solve." Hugo said with a laugh, "But I still think I am honored to change your mind. Many times, the fixed thinking of appearance is a disadvantage of casting."

The reversal effect created by Kevin Spacey in movies such as "Extreme Suspect" and "Seven Deadly Sins (Sexual Deadly Sins)" is a subversion of the rigid appearance of the casting process.
