Chapter 919

The most popular actors in Hollywood are currently the first to be named Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, and Michelle Pfeiffer. These actors have formed their own fixed market. Their strong box office appeal and huge people are enough to make them the first list of partners selected by major production companies.

Now, Hugo and Tom Hanks are enough to make it on the list.

However, Hugo's biggest advantage lies in his plasticity. Compared with other actors who are easily trapped in their appearance or acting skills, becoming a genre film actor. In addition to having box office appeal and popularity, Hugo's superb acting skills break the constraints of appearance, allowing him to be as good as a fish in different roles.

After the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo starred in six works, and the roles were very different, which gave Hugo a considerable advantage.

The reason why Mark Canton considered this is that he was attracted by Hugo's plasticity, and Hugo was able to do the several works he recommended.

Rick picked up the information on the table, picked it up, and handed it to Hugo, "This is the script Van Sant is preparing." Hugo then noticed that several of the information on the table were scripts. Samora happened to come back from buying groceries. Seeing the table so chaotic, he shouted, "You go to the hall, go to the hall! Dinner is needed here, and today Charlize, Alex and Carl will come back."

Hugo walked towards the hall with the script, and Joseph and Rick began to organize the information, while Henry was still leaning on the table and lying on the body. Joseph was quite amused and crying when he saw this, "Henry, if you are really tired, wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie in the room?"

Henry said lazily, "It's not sleeping time now, and the fun of being lazy is that you can completely relax yourself anywhere." This is so high-sounding that Rick and Joseph laughed.

Hugo flipped through the script in his hand casually. Hugo had never read the script called "to.die.for" and he had no impression of it.

Gus Van Sant is an independent producer. In 1991, he became famous for his "unrestrained sky". He then relied on the "spiritual catcher" to achieve glory. Later, he also dedicated wonderful works such as "elephant" and "Milke (Milk)". He is a very special director. He is not a favorite of the academic school but can often amazed all film critics. He is not a favorite of the commercial box office, but can attract fans' support every time. He is gentle, elegant, delicate, and far-reaching. The faint artistic atmosphere forms his unique youthful psychedelic style.

Although Gus has never really become a big hit, he has always been a very important director in the field of independent film in the United States and has extraordinary influence.

Hugo has seen many works by Gus, but he does not have the "doing everything" in his memory. Of course, Hugo is not surprised. Although he has watched many movies and has the advantage of time travel, it does not mean that he knows all the works.

Rick walked over with a lot of information at this time and explained, "I don't really think about this work, because it's a woman's drama," and then he sat down on the sofa opposite Hugo. "The story is that the heroine who grew up in the town is unwilling to spend the rest of her life without a name. She wants to succeed at all. Due to her husband's obstruction, she sets a trap and joins a young man to conspire to kill her husband."

When Hugo heard the introduction of this story, he couldn't help but look at the script in his hand. The story was really too similar to Lina. Of course, Lina didn't have such a perfect way. She didn't kill Adam, and no third party appeared at the beginning. Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but curl his lips. Although he was sure that Joseph, Rick and others knew nothing about Lina, he still felt very strange at this moment.

Rick didn't notice the subtle changes in Hugo, and then said, "I read the script, and Mark should be thinking that the roles of husband and young men are chosen by you, depending on your interests."

At this time, Joseph also walked over with the information, "Isn't the age difference between husband and young man?" Henry finally walked over with a lazy step.

Rick shrugged, "I guess they can make adjustments based on Hugo's choice." In fact, Mark did not hand over these scripts. Rick got some simple information through his own relationships. For example, Hugo's script is not the complete version, and he got the script from another alternate actor Joaquin Phoenix.

Joaquin Phoenix, River Phoenix's younger brother, was the poor child who witnessed his brother's death on the scene and was surrounded and bombarded by reporters.

"At present, I heard that the heroine has already had a close conversation with Nicole Kidman, and Nicole also thinks it would be very exciting to work with you." Rick then explained that his words were actually relatively concise, only talking about the key points and key points. He rarely talks about other detailed and ending things unless Hugo asks about them.

"Nicole..." Hugo pointed his chin slightly. His relationship with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman was actually pretty good. Although he and Tom are competitors and have not met too many times, the two of them were still happy several times. "She is very suitable for this role."

Nicole never concealed her ambition for acting, or to be more precise, her ambition for fame and fortune. Whether it is marrying Tom at his peak or winning the Oscar, she still devoted herself to art movies and dreaming of her. Hugo has been rolling in Hollywood for more than two years now. What he must admit is that the version circulating in the circle about Nicole and Tom’s marriage is indeed much more exciting than the outside world knows.

From this perspective, Nicole has an innate fit with the script "Doesn't do anything".

Mark handed over the script "Does not do anything" to Hugo. On the one hand, he believed that director Gus would be attractive to Hugo, and on the other hand, he hoped that Hugo and Nicole would act opposite each other and sparks would be revealed. Maybe he could also hype the scandal between Hugo and Nicole to see how Tom would react.

Strictly speaking, strategic significance is more important than characters and scripts.

Hugo doesn't mind playing supporting roles, but this script is really not attractive to him. Whether it is the heroine's husband or the young man who is seduced, there are limited tests of acting. And as long as you think of Lina, Hugo is a little disgusted with this script. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to be able to work with Gus.

Rick looked at Hugo's expression, but couldn't read much. After all, Rick and Hugo's collaboration time was too short. Except for the discussion of the script when "Night Visit Vampire", he had no idea what Hugo was in the process of selecting the script, so Rick subconsciously glanced at Joseph.

Joseph noticed Rick's gaze and shook his head. Rick pointed his chin clearly and didn't say anything more. Then he said, "Sam Remy's script is actually strictly speaking, he is just a working person. The real core of this work is Sharon Stone."

Hugo put the script of "doing everything" on the coffee table, leaning on the sofa, enjoying the leisure of a cup of coffee, "Another work with female roles as the core? Mark's choice is really..." Hugo doesn't know how to describe it, not that Hugo doesn't want to participate in a work with females as the core, but that if the production company wants to impress an actor, then creating a work around this actor is obviously much higher. Hugo doesn't understand what the medicine sold in Mark's gourd is.

Rick shook his head, "No, this work is a bit complicated. In fact, the script was originally intended to be an independent film, with only three million investments. However, after Columbia Pictures acquired it, it decided to become a traditional western film, willing to invest 30 to 40 million to shoot a masterpiece. Sharon was the first confirmed actress, and she is also a co-producer. Of course, this work is indeed quite special. Its story is to impose women into the Western world."

Rick's simple explanation had not yet made Hugo react, but it called Joseph's memory, "Hey, I know this work is called...uh," Joseph thought for a while, "'The.quick.and.the.dead', right?"

Rick looked at Joseph in surprise and nodded in confirmation, "How did you know?"

Joseph laughed, "Leo mentioned it to me that Sharon strongly invited Leo to play one of the roles, and even had some unhappiness with Mark." After saying that, Joseph turned to Hugo and explained, "What happened before the release of 'Life and Death Hour'."

It is precisely because "Speed ​​of Life and Death" had not been released at that time that Mark definitely could not understand why Sharon wanted Leonardo to star in it. After all, Leonardo was only a fledgling on the big screen at that time, and the risk was too great.

After hearing what Joseph said, Hugo immediately reacted. He knew that he had not seen this movie, but just knew that the gossip of this movie was very interesting.

After relying on "Ben. Can" to become famous, Sharon starred in the Western film "Deadly Pleasure", which caused a sensation at the time. Since she served as co-producer, she participated in the selection of almost the entire production team. Director Sam Remy was chosen by her, and she even threatened to launch it. The male lead Russell Crowe (R-Seel ll.crowe) was chosen by her. At this time, Russell was just an Australian boy and had never appeared in any work in Hollywood. For Russell, she had a very unhappy relationship with Columbia Pictures; the supporting actor Leonardo DiCaprio was also chosen by her. When Columbia Pictures was always unwilling to compromise, Sharon finally paid Leonardo's pay out of his own pocket, which allowed him to star.
