Leonardo saw the surprise on Hugo's face, and couldn't help but be a little proud, and laughed, "Because you know what you want to do from the beginning, you know very well what kind of actor you want to be, and you go through the lows, but you can get back on track, it's a great thing." You know, amazing people like River Phoenix are eventually taken away by God. ”

Although Leonardo's words were a little heavier because of the last sentence, Hugo thought about it with a frown, and then said depressedly, "Why do I think you are talking like a bunch of nonsense in an interview with the media?"

Leonardo saw that his speech was understood by Hugo, and immediately hugged his stomach and laughed, which made Hugo directly roll his eyes. Finally, after laughing, Leonardo patted Hugo on the shoulder, "Seriously, in fact, I really envy you, you know, there are four of my favorite actors, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Jack Nelierson, Megrien, and you ......" Leonardo didn't say anything later, just shrugged his shoulders, as if to say "you know yourself" again.

Hugo, of course, knew that he worked with three of Leonardo's four favorite actors in one go, which is indeed a great thing. In fact, not to mention Leonardo, Hugo himself thought it was incredible, since he came to Los Angeles in 1992, everything has become unimaginable, first Al, then Jack, then Meg, and finally Steven Spielberg, and now, he is about to cross paths with Quentin, which is really a magical journey.

So, Hugo smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know, I enjoy it myself." This boastful sentence made Leonardo envious and jealous, especially looking at the smug smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, which really made people grit their teeth and rattle.

Seeing Leonardo's gritted teeth, Hugo immediately laughed contentedly, which made Leonardo even more depressed, "In fact, I don't know what kind of actor I want to be, because I think the definition of an actor is actually very broad and vague, in my opinion, the profession of an actor brings people not only reflection and shock, but also laughter and laughter." ”

Hugo's words made Leonardo a little stunned, he didn't seem to understand Hugo's statement, but Hugo didn't pause much, and then continued, "I know what you mean, you want to be a powerful actor, not an idol who relies on your appearance to eat." But I don't think such a definition of an actor is actually prepared, the powerful faction, the idol faction, is this divided according to the strength of acting skills? But how to divide the acting strength, does it mean that comedians and action actors have no acting strength? Let me ask you a question, do you think Schwarzenegger is an idol or a powerful faction?"

"Uh...... Strength, no, idols?" Leonardo was directly stopped by Hugo's surprise question, and he was not very sure about it.

"Then Leslie. Nielsell)?" Leslie is known as a "self-headed detective (T-doue. naked。 gun)" series of world-famous comedians, he can be called the pioneer of spoof films, Jim Kelly, Zhou. Star. Chi and other nonsensical comedy famous actors can be called Leslie's juniors or heirs to the mantle.

Leonardo stumbled, "Powerful?" But the words are also full of uncertainty.

"Robin Williams?" Hugo asked again.

This time Leonardo didn't speak again, as if vaguely aware of Hugo's meaning.

Hugo smiled and said, "I know what you mean, the powerful faction and the idol faction are just a simple division, and the idol faction actually refers more often to actors who rely on their appearance to gain a place, but they have no acting strength." But I still don't think that's the right division of actors. ”

"You know, in fact, comedians also have deep acting skills, and it is never easy to make an audience laugh, not everyone can be Charlie Chaplin. chapl bucket l). Hugo actually only scratches the surface of his understanding of the path of an actor, but he doesn't mind sharing his views with Leonardo, who are just starting out on the long road of actors, "The same is true for action actors, and the success of 'Rocky' is not only in the subject matter itself, but also in the acting." ”

"You just said you liked Jack Nelierson, then I don't think you should forget his role as the Joker, God, this is one of the best villains in history; and Robin Williams, the image in "My Fair Daddy" is difficult to connect with "Dead Poets Society". Hugo gave two of the simplest examples, but he vividly said Hugo's thoughts, "Therefore, I don't think that the subject matter itself can restrain the performance of a great actor, the so-called classification of strength and idol is still a test for the actor himself in the final analysis." ”

"And what kind of actor do you think is great?" Leonardo was a little confused by Hugo's way, and asked in confusion.

Hugo shrugged, "I don't know, I'm exploring it now." But I'm thinking now that maybe a really great actor is the one who not only contributes to his own performance in the limited space given by the director and the script, but also can dig out the connotation of the character, and even supplement the development of the whole story, which is the greatness of the actor. ”

In fact, being an actor is a very interesting profession, first of all, every role played by an actor must rely on the story to survive, even if it is a story of a one-man show, or an autobiographical work, the role is also complementary to the story. This also divides the actor's job into two parts, one is to follow the progress of the story to complete his own work, and the other is to supplement the story according to his own understanding.

If you talk about it in detail, you can look at it this way, even if it is an autobiographical movie, it is impossible to show the life of the character, after all, the length of the movie is limited, and it is just a microcosm compared to the life of a character. Then, every character is also a character, everyone knows that the character has a process of birth, growth, change, maturity, etc., the character in a story, not only follows the story, but also he is an independent individual, in the process of story development, why the character will make this decision, or what kind of reaction the character will make in such an environment, maybe it will not be told in the movie, but the actor can tell the character completely, so as to make the story in the movie more complete.

Take "Schindler's List" as an example, the story of Oscar Schindler and Amungos in the movie is only a few short years, so what is the formation of their personalities in the past history, the movie will not tell, and can only rely on the actors' own excavation and understanding, if the actors can shape the characters more full, they can make the whole story more complete through some trivial details, which is equivalent to extending the plot with the actors' performances outside the director's lens and story script.

In this regard, Hugo's work is better than Liam Neeson, so after the release of the movie, Hugo received significantly more praise than Liam.

The same is true of "Different Sky ......", Johnny's excavation of the characters lacks depth, and the characters are only stored in the story, so that people cannot see the growth and change of the characters, which is separated, so that the overall sense is inferior to Leonardo, and at the same time, the delicacy and extension of the story are missing. And Leonardo's role has no past, Ani's character is mentally retarded, and the front and back are unified, so Leonardo keenly captured Ani's current state, which is enough.

This is also the reason why Hugo believes that actors should not be distinguished by idols and powerful actors, because even in comedy movies, action movies, or more broadly so-called commercial films, each character has its own life, unless it is a work like "Transformers" in which the director does not give the character much room to play, otherwise any role has room to play. For example, in the "Terminator" series, even the role of Arnold Schwarzenegger has its own color, but the space for play is relatively limited.

Then, actors can get room to play in different types of movies, and some of them will have more space, such as feature movies; Some spaces are smaller, such as action movies. What Hugo means is that a truly great actor will tap the potential of the character and give full play to his full strength in this limited space.

At this point, "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight (T Doue. dark。 kh。 ledger) has delivered performances that will go down in history, and this is what Hugo considered to be a truly great actor.

Of course, popcorn movies like "Transformers" don't leave room for actors to play, so even the greatest actors have no heart, that's another matter. In Hugo's view, the survival of popcorn movies is the most realistic portrayal of the entertainment industry, bringing the audience the most exciting and refreshing entertainment effect, which is the success of popcorn movies, which is a form of spiritual consumption.

Leonardo looked at Hugo in front of him, and blurted out involuntarily with a sigh, "Wow, you're really going to blow up my head." Hugo's words just now were not much, but the deep meaning contained in them opened up a whole new world for Leonardo, and he felt that he needed a while to digest it, "I admire you more now, you are really ...... It's amazing. ”

Leonardo expressed his amazement without any disguise, which made Hugo laugh, "It's one thing to think, whether I can do it or not, that's another thing." Hugo is still self-aware, he is still 108,000 miles away from the realm he said, not to mention, he doesn't know if his understanding of actors is completely correct, maybe with the passage of time, there will be a new understanding.

Leonardo couldn't help but nod his head again and again, "Hey, man, if I have the opportunity, I really want to work with you once, I think the gain will definitely be not small." ”

"Haha, isn't there a problem with commercial films?" Hugo's words choked Leonardo, who was not interested in commercial films at all. Looking at Leonardo's stammering expression, the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth bloomed brightly. z。 If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Genesis (chua) to read it, and vote for the work to recommend the monthly pass.
