Superstar

"Because of my performance in the'Schindler's List'?" This was Hugo's first reaction. In fact, Hugo had some vague memories of the details in "Death Row". He always felt that this role seemed to match Although there are some overlapping parts between Amon Goss and Anonymous, although it is a test of acting skills, Hugo does not want to play a repetitive role.

Tim shook his head repeatedly, "No, I actually thought you were the first person to play this script because I saw your performance before sunrise."

Hugo looked at Tim quite unexpectedly, which made Tim a little proud and chuckled slightly, "You know,'before sunrise' is different from your previous performances. You can see more of yours throughout the performance. Shadow, but your performance is very delicate. With a simple expression, an action, and a line, you can outline the image of the character, that...what should I say," Tim paused and thought about it. , "That kind of soul and personality deep in my heart, everything is so real. I want to believe that Jessie is a real person, and maybe he is traveling in a corner of the world at this moment."

Hugo was really surprised this time. Unexpectedly, Tim can actually see the subtle differences in his acting process. This is not a question of professionalism or unprofessionalism. Because for acting skills, perhaps professionals can see the style of the performance, the excitement of the performance, etc., but it is difficult to tell the difference in details. This is something that the performer can only experience during the performance.

Tim was able to name one. It’s not because he really understands the difference in Hugo’s acting skills, but because he really appreciates each of Hugo’s works with his heart and tastes Hugo’s acting skills in detail. According to his thoughts, he made a point. Simply put, it is because he has enough sincerity.

"'Soniel is actually very complicated. He is not a simple murderer. I am not saying that he sympathizes with him, or that he has a kind part in his heart. I don't want to defend him because he is a murderer. ..." Tim said in a mess, but Hugo calmed down and listened carefully, "Look, he is obviously guilty, but he firmly believes that he is innocent and full of nonsense, then he is Amon-Ge Is it a demon like Si? But it is not, because he is actually fragile and full of fear. The reason why he committed the murder is not because of how fierce he is, but because he dare not resist the demands of his companions...but Conversely, he did not choose to leave, but pulled the trigger under pressure..."

After Tim talked a lot, he realized that Hugo hadn’t read the script at all, and he quickly apologized, “Sorry, I forgot that you didn’t understand this character. What I want to say is that this is a very complicated one. A person, his heart is full of countless mixed thoughts. His behavior, his language, and his handling are all full of miscellaneous. I hope to find an actor who can use his understanding and reading to show Soniel. In his life, I don’t want to appeal or argue for him, but just want people to see his life, nothing more."

Hugo understands what Tim means. This can be divided into two parts. The first part is that some people don’t look like bad guys at all, but he did outrageously. The bad thing, the huge contrast between appearance and heart is obviously incomprehensible, and the character of Matthew is not like Anonymous-Anonymous is a complete evil, but Matthew's mental process is more complicated, because his style of behavior is at best a punk. That's it, it's not a heinous villain at all.

The second part is that people’s prejudice often blinds the eyes, just like Victor Hugo’s "Les Miserables". Jean Valjean was always trapped as a thief and criminal just because he stole a few slices of bread. The shackles. After Matthew was arrested, no one thought about the story behind Matthew. He became a symbol of a "bad guy". No one wanted to get involved with him, and even his family became objects of spurn by everyone. , Then what about the intricacies hidden deep in Matthew's heart, is he really worthy of the "salvation" of Sister Helen?

"So, I need an actor who can present the complexity of the character in a restrained but delicate way. I even hope to see the actor perform according to his own understanding and make this character come to life on the screen." Tim concluded, "I think you are the best choice."

"Wow, I seem to have become a professional killer now." Hugo raised his eyebrows and chuckled. He had just walked out of the nameless and actually received an invitation from Matthew Poncelet again. Hugo definitely didn't expect it. I guess Rick didn't expect it, so Rick asked Tim to talk to Hugo himself.

Tim heard the ridicule in Hugo’s words, and he quickly explained, "Trust me, Hugo, this role is different from all your previous roles, and my focus is also different..." Hugo’s past choices can be seen. Hugo is someone who doesn’t want to repeat himself. The roles he chooses are often very different. "If you want, you can read the script completely, and then we will contact you. ,What do you think?"

To be honest, Hugo's impression of "Death Row" is indeed a bit vague. Although he remembers Sean Penn's performance is very wonderful, he is really interested in this role, but it is really limited. "Script? Of course there is no problem, it is a good idea."

Hugo nodded and agreed. He really needs to find a challenging role recently. The "Seven Deadly Sins" ended earlier than expected, and the Anonymous also made Hugo still unfulfilled. In order to express his addiction to the drama, Hugo needs a new one. Role.

Tim was very excited about Hugo’s nod, which made Hugo a little puzzled. Later, I learned from Rick that no one was optimistic about the "Death Row" project. Although there are several companies willing to invest, the highest one is currently The investment amount was only 5 million U.S. dollars. Tim wanted to go to prison for on-the-spot shooting. This fund was obviously stretched. If Hugo is willing to join, obviously it will be easier to attract investment.

Although Hugo received only 10 million in the "Seven Deadly Sins", on the contrary, Hugo's value increased instead of falling. Because of Hugo's generosity and dedication, all major film companies also clearly know that Hugo absolutely He is the most cost-effective actor today, and he is not one of them, and his outstanding audience popularity is even more popular. Even "Before Sunrise", an art film with a cost of 2.5 million yuan, can end up with a gain of three thousand two thousand. Millions of dollars at the box office.

Now that the "seven deadly sins" have just been completed, other major film companies have already targeted Hugo. Just now, Steven Spielberg also said that the male protagonist of "Men in Black" is still Waiting for Hugo, there is absolutely no problem with the 20 million dollar remuneration.

Under such circumstances, "Death Row" is a work that shows that it is impossible to pay a high salary or obtain a high box office. Hugo expressed his willingness to read the script. This is already a huge victory for Tim.

"In fact, Tim talked to me before the start of the'Seven Deadly Sins'. He has been selling this script to me, and then emphasized that you are the first person, and the entire crew's time can match your schedule." Rick Hugo's explanation made Hugo laugh dumbly, "Objectively speaking, he is indeed very sincere."

At this point, the party is over and most of the guests have left, but Leonardo, Neil, and Alex all stayed behind. Anyway, Hugo’s villa has enough space for them to stand up. Shi is playing a game in the game room on the first floor.

After Hugo sent away Charlize and Mr. Perfect just now, he had time to talk to Rick about Tim, "After this time, didn't you say that you want to find a work that can challenge acting? So I took the initiative to contact him and asked him to come over and talk to you."

After "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins", Rick was more willing to slow down a bit when considering Hugo's new works. After all, the craze for "Pulp Fiction" has not completely subsided. Hugo needs A buffer period. Therefore, since Hugo wants to challenge acting, Rick has searched for a large number of scripts in the past month, looking for scripts suitable for Hugo to challenge acting.

However, Rick is obviously also very picky. He knows that ordinary characters definitely cannot stimulate Hugo's addiction, and simple scripts certainly cannot attract Hugo's attention. So he did not rush.

"Do you remember Mike Figes(.)?" Rick said another name, and then Hugo looked at it blankly. Rick was not surprised at all, and then explained, "Yes. The Englishman who appeared with Kevin Burns (. Burns)." Hugo still looked blank, and Rick was not impatient. "The new CEO of Twentieth Century Fox?"

"Ah~www.wuxiaspot.com~ that a little fat man with a messy beard!" Hugo just remembered.

Kevin Pence was the newly appointed helm of the 20th Century Fox last year. He also came to Hugo’s today to congratulate him. Mike Figis is a middle-aged man standing next to Kevin. Rick is Introduced them specifically to Hugo, "We chatted for a while by the tennis court, right?"

"Yes, that's it." Rick nodded in affirmation. "Mike actually has a project in his hand. I think it's worth a try. That's why I invited him over today. He has some connections with 20th Century Fox. Kevin is considering Do you want to invest in Mike's project? I will introduce you to it together."

Hugo nodded slightly, "Have you read the script?" Rick is a well-measured agent, and the scripts he has read are quite reliable.

"Well, but I think the script should be read several times. I personally feel a little bored." Rick shrugged. "But it can still be seen that the actor is very challenging, and it just meets your current requirements." Ke obviously selected it specifically to solve Hugo’s addiction. "This script is called'Far from Casino (. las. vegas)', you can check it out."
